Utopia, Saigon City, Xanadu.
Bald girl, Qimii:
"Why haven't the bounty rescuers, arrived yet?"
JiiXi:
"The bounty rescuers, can't predict something will happen.
So, they can't gather and prepare, in advance.
Only after you send out the reservation.
Those are willing to accept the bounty start to gather.
At this time, it's estimated, those bounty rescuers, are still sound asleep.
People in the Xanadu, are all so idle.
Especially the fishermen by the sea.
They sleep under the shade of trees, every day.
When they hear, there are fish in the sea.
They will rush out, and go to sea, in a swarm.
They spend half a day fishing, can usually sell the fish for several hundreds of dollars.
When they are lucky, they can sell the fish for housands of dollars, in half a day."
..
Long leg girl, Nivii, was very surprised:
"Oh my god!
Do fishermen, make money so easily?
Are those fishermen, all very rich?"
JiiXi curled her lips:
"Rich?
Those fishermen, are far from it.
Do you think, they can catch fish, every time they go to sea?
Do you think, they can always have good luck?
Sometimes, they go fishing for most of the day, and don't catch a single fish.
It would be good, if they can catch fish, once a week.
Generally speaking, they can catch fish, two or three times a month.
It would be great, if they can have good luck, once a quarter.
It's true that, fishermen make money easily.
Calculated like this, fishermen only work for a few days, in a month.
For the rest of the time, they are all sleeping.
Sometimes, if you enter the fishing village, in the afternoon.
You will find a very strange phenomenon.
Almost all the men, in the whole fishing village, are sleeping under the shade of trees.
But as long as, someone shouts:
'There are fish in the sea!'.
They will immediately get up, carry their fishing gear, and rush to the seaside."
..
Bald girl, Qimii, smiled:
"Your narcolepsy, your personality, your behavior habits...
Can they be regarded as the genetic inheritance, from fishermen?"
JiiXi smiled bitterly:
"Sort of.
At least, it has something to do with fishermen."
..
Long leg girl, Nivii, suddenly exclaimed:
"Someone is broadcasting a holographic live stream, in the Barbarian Forest.
It is said that, the lair of a assassin organization, has been discovered in the Diess Town gathering place.
Three days later, a zero-order cold weapon war, will break out.
The ferocious mercenaries, will attack the base camp of the cold-blooded assassins.
Three days later, the grand (First Diess Town War Festival), will be held.
Everyone, is welcomed to go to the Diess Town for vacation, camping and watching the war."
JiiXi's pupils dilated instantly, but then she mocked herself:
"People can actually make money from war, in this way.
There are too many profiteers, in this world.
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
They seize every opportunity, and will do anything.
Compared with them, I really don't have any talent for business.
I deserve to go from being rich to being poor.
It's all fate."
..
Bald girl, Qimii, was a bit surprised:
"Here, the bounty rescuers, in the Xanadu, haven't arrived yet.
There, the holographic live stream of the Diess Town, has already spread all over the Internet.
This is what people call, the vicissitudes of life."
The intelligent spirit of the coachman, commented from a God's-eye view:
"Other people's cruel fates, are just the momentary pastimes of bystanders.
The cruel fates of others, are also the occasional entertainment of other people.
Those strange tragedies of human beings, mainly come from the poor hurting the poor."
..
Long leg girl, Nivii, frowned:
"Why do those people at the bottom, the poor, like to hurt each other?"
Bald girl, Qimii, with an indifferent expression:
"Natural selection, survival of the fittest.
This is the nature of living things.
Have you ever raised kittens?
Female cats, sometimes, will eat the weakest kitten.
Especially when the kitten is dying."
..
Long leg girl, Nivii, was startled:
"Why?
Kittens are usually so gentle.
Why are they so cruel, as to eat their own kitten offspring?"
Bald girl, Qimii:
"In the natural environment.
The milk of the female cat, can't feed all the kittens at all.
Moreover, during the lactation period, the female cat is weak.
And it's very dangerous for her, to go out to hunt.
The female cat, has to eat the weakest kittens, to supplement nutrition.
So that, she can raise the strongest kittens.
Under natural selection.
Only those female cats, eat their own kitten offspring, survived and reproduced.
Those female cats, didn't eat their own kitten offspring, were eliminated by natural selection, and became extinct.
So, now, in specific situations, for example, when the kitten is dying.
The natural instinct of the female cat, will be triggered. She will eat her dying kitten offspring."
..
Long leg girl, Nivii, looked gloomy:
"Do you mean that, under natural selection.
Human beings, are also subject to survival of the fittest?
Only those human beings, who secretly plot against the people around them, survived and reproduced.
While those, who couldn't bear to plot against the people around them, were eliminated by natural selection, and became extinct.
And in specific situations, for example, when people are poor, the natural instinct of human beings will be triggered.
They will plot against the people around them, such as relatives and friends."
Bald girl, Qimii:
"Of course.
Praying mantises, are also like this.
Male mantises and female mantises, during or after mating.
The female mantis, will eat her mate, the male mantis, alive.
And the male mantis, will be eaten by the female mantis, without any complaint.
Both male and female mantises, have the common purpose.
That is, during the egg incubation period, to make the female mantis, have better nutrition.
So that, their offspring can reproduce with more competitive advantages.
So, those female mantises, didn't eat their mates, were eliminated by natural selection, and became extinct.
Those male mantises, were not willing to be eaten, were also eliminated by natural selection, and became extinct."
..
Long leg girl, Nivii:
"Nature turns out to be so cruel.
Animals are not cruel, indeed lose their competitiveness.
They can only wait to be eliminated, by natural selection."
Bald girl, Qimii, suddenly looked at JiiXi:
"Why did your mother, choose the Mantis Queen beast-bot for you?
Did she just want to tell you, what I mean?"
..
JiiXi:
"Maybe.
Probably, that's exactly, what she meant.
Our Jii family, has had only one heir in each generation, for many generations.
They concentrated all their financial resources, and bet on just one heir.
My grandfather, was a self-sacrificer.
My great-grandfather, was also a self-sacrificer.
They sold their lives, to scientific experiments.
They used the money they earned by sacrificing themselves, to bet on just one heir.
Several generations of them, sacrificed themselves together, just to bet on me.
As my father said:
If the poor, don't take risks.
If the poor, don't gamble.
The poor, will be poor, for generations."
