This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1253 - 559: Utopian Society

["Eden consists of seven races: the Tauren, Zuma Clan, Hawkman Clan, Gargoyle Clan, Cyclops Clan, Pighead Clan, and our Pandaren Clan," the girl said earnestly as she recited the knowledge she knew.]

"Only seven?"

Mu You was somewhat surprised.

The races in the Star Spirit World are essentially established for the gods to collect faith, and each race generally corresponds to one or a few gods. Therefore, the number of races that have been born in the Star Spirit World throughout history is surely thousands, if not tens of thousands.

There are nearly a thousand races in total, and there are only a few dozen races remaining in the Star Spirit World. What about the other hundreds of races? Were they not sent here?

["Oh, right..." At this point, the girl seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly added: "The seven races refer to those currently living normally in Eden. And on the backside of Eden, there is a vast sleep area where many, many races are said to be in deep sleep. But exactly how many, I... I’m not very clear..." The girl couldn’t provide a specific number and looked at you uneasily, quite worried that her answer might be deemed a failure.]

"Sleep area?" Mu You was taken aback.

["Answer correct, you’ve earned 20 points!"]

[Your reply made the Pandaren girl beam with joy, as she calculated her own points and looked expectantly at you, waiting for the next question.]

["Next question: Please provide detailed information about the ’sleep area’ (Value: 30 points)."]

["I heard from my grandmother that the sleep area was created by the Watchers to manage the increasingly growing population within Eden."]

["The space inside Eden is limited and can only accommodate ten races at most. Any more would result in competing for resources, drastically reducing the living conditions for all races. Keeping the number of races in Eden to seven was calculated by the Watchers as the most ideal number."]

["However, as new races join Eden periodically, letting it go unmanaged would only increase the population here. Therefore, the Watchers created a type of ’Sleep Pods’, in which it’s said that the bodies of those who enter are frozen, stopping the aging process, and go into deep sleep while their consciousness enters a beautiful dream, enjoying a carefree life."]

["Ever since, whenever a new race joins Eden, an oldest race is collectively sent to sleep in the sleep area, keeping the number of races inside the garden at seven..." The girl tried her best to explain the information she knew to you.]

"Sleep Pods... they’ve actually come up with such a thing..." Mu You marveled, amazed that something out of a science fiction novel had appeared first in the Magic World.

However, even with Sleep Pods, there couldn’t be zero energy consumption, right? With hundreds of races, even if there were only 10,000 people per race, it would add up to an immensely large number. How much energy must be consumed daily by so many Sleep Pods?

Moreover, just as cemeteries eventually fill up, even a huge Sleep Pod will eventually reach its capacity. What would be done with the extra people then?

Mu You felt there was something problematic about this so-called ’Sleep Pods’, but he couldn’t pinpoint what it was, so he decided to put it aside and continue asking questions.

...

In the following hour, Mu You asked about various aspects of this underground world, and the Pandaren girl answered each question, some clearly, some not so much.

After a round of indirect questioning, he more or less figured out the situation in this ’Eden’.

In short, this so-called Eden is essentially an artificial utopia governed by artificial intelligence. Here, robots act as both rulers and caretakers, responsible for providing all beings with necessities and assigning jobs based on their formidable computing power, keeping everything organized and maintaining the normal operation of society.

During this time, Mu You also learned the name of this Pandaren girl, called ’Chun Li’, nickname Li Li. She grew up with her grandmother since childhood, but her grandmother passed away five years ago, and since then she has been living alone.

Perhaps due to her long-standing solitude, Li Li belongs to the more independent and unconventional children within her clan, often liking to secretly do things against the rules, like this time. She heard the sounds of battle above the sky during class time, driven by intense curiosity, and secretly skipped class to go to the scene to watch the excitement, which is how she coincidentally picked up the Mechanical Heart.

Apart from being impulsive, another impression Mu You had of her was ’foodie’.

In the recent questioning, she had accumulated nearly twelve hundred points, all of which she exchanged for food.

To make collecting food easier, Mu You directly teleported into the restaurant midway.

"Boss, another serving of bamboo shoot stir-fried pork..." Mu You, not even thinking, ordered again looking at the clean empty plate that had just been extracted from the game.

This time, however, there was a delayed response.

Mu You looked up and realized that the boss had already come out of the kitchen and was standing beside him, looking at him with a strange expression: "Dear guest, we’re really out of bamboo shoots this time, couldn’t even borrow from the shop next door. How about... you order something else?"

"Oh, then nevermind..."

Mu You also realized that he had continuously ordered several dozens of servings of bamboo shoot stir-fried pork, which in others’ eyes, probably made him look like a giant panda.
