Opening an office in Taila

"I'm cheating? That's so funny. Why don't you say that you are also a cheater? I have never seen a being that can manipulate Originium or even create natural disasters. What exactly is your Originium skill? Who the hell are you?" Song Yufeng said while sitting on the ground.

"I was just about to ask you! You can actually eliminate minerals and natural disasters! Who are you? With such power, why don't you save this land?!" Jingyu stood up excitedly.

"It seems we've come full circle. I still say that going to such great lengths to save this so-called land is a thankless task. Look, that move just now at least consumed most of my energy, and it also cost me three Originiums! One Originium is at least 200,000 Longmen Coins! Three of them is 600,000! Do you understand how hard it is to get Longmen Coins and Originium? And the commotion you just made also cost me an Originium. So, I've lost 800,000. This kind of trick can only clear the Originium clusters within a radius of dozens of miles. What's more, natural disasters will still occur, and natural disasters mean that Originium clusters will appear again. They can never be completely eliminated! So why should I waste my energy?"

After Song Yufeng finished speaking, Jingyu was stunned for a moment, then said: "In the final analysis, you just don't want to pay so much cost, right?"

"That's only one aspect, Jingyu. The main thing is, you invested so much, and there won't be any positive or negative feedback at all. You said I lost everything, but in the end I couldn't clear anything. What's the point? Besides, I still have my own life. I'm a person first, I need to eat, and I have other people's wishes waiting for me to fulfill."

Jingyu lowered her head, tears falling from her eyes. Song Yufeng sighed. After all, he had lived two lives, and his view of the world was always clearer than that of a 14-year-old girl.

"Besides, do you really think that the suffering on this land is caused by mineral sickness?" Song Yufeng whispered.

Jingyu raised her head and said, "Isn't it?"

"Originium disease is nothing more than an excuse for people to divert conflicts. Even without oripathy, people's lives will not be better. This land will remain as dark as it is. Let me give you a simple example. After I adopted Xiaocai and the others, I once found an official charity organization in Yan Country. However, they refused to adopt them, citing insufficient funds. Later, I investigated carefully and found that this charity organization did not adopt any orphans at all, and all the funds allocated to them by the government were embezzled by them." Although Song Yufeng did not watch much of the original plot, combined with his own experience of coming to this world, he naturally concluded that Originium disease is not the source of all suffering.

"Really? Why…"

"Yan Nation is relatively good, but what about the Ursus Empire to the north? They don't care about the lives of the lower classes. To them, the people are just pawns that can be discarded at any time. Ore disease? Infected people? They are just excuses to divert conflicts and cover up the truth of their dark rule."

"Then, those people, those infected with the oripathy, will be trapped in suffering forever... No, that's not right. There will be a savior who will stand up for this world eventually, but not now... The oripathy still needs to be eradicated, but we can..." Jingyu muttered softly.

"What's wrong?" Song Yufeng asked.

"No, I'm fine. I just feel like I've figured out some things... Thank you, Mr. Song." Jingyu covered her head, and it seemed that she still needed some time to think.

"Then I welcome you to join us, Jingyu." Song Yufeng extended his hand.

"Well, thank you. By the way, does the request for your help still count?"

"Yes, of course. We can take it one step at a time. There's no rush."

"Yes, don't be in a hurry. Don't take too big a step." Jingyu turned back to Xiaocai and the others and said, "I'm sorry. From now on, I'll need your care."

"It's nothing. We are very tolerant. With Brother Pi here, there is nothing we can't do." Xiao Pi spoke first.

"Your ideals are great, but before you can realize them, you still need to improve your own strength. It's not too late to save people once you have the strength. Ah, Xiao Jin just felt that what I said made a lot of sense."

"Your Originium skills are very strong. Perhaps we can communicate more." Xiao Gua invited enthusiastically.

"Ah, just make peace with Brother Song. I have no objection. However, your ideal is quite cool. Just don't use moral coercion on others. Realize it yourself. Isn't that good too?" Xiao Cai shook hands with Jingyu.

"Ah, generally speaking, the situation is unexpectedly moving in a positive direction." Song Yufeng muttered to himself: "Is this the dumpling-making ending? Oh, saving this land? Let Rhodes Island save it. Everything else has nothing to do with me..."
