Chapter 2460 Lazy Man's Philosophy

Joan thought about it seriously, and felt that Medea's words really made some sense. If we delve deeper, it may involve the intake and dissipation of energy, the increase and decrease of entropy...

"Joan, do you know why a lazy outlook on life is more in line with the laws of nature?" Medea then asked.

"I'm thinking about this question, what's your opinion?"

"Oh, look at you, sometimes you are not very smart! Because of Mother Earth, Mother Earth!"

The snake-haired lady slapped the armrest of the seat with an agitated expression, like a crazy stick.

Joan couldn't help showing surprise: "What does 'Mother Earth' refer to? Is it the origin of nature? You are obviously a warlock, why did you suddenly start studying the animism of druids?"

"This has nothing to do with druid beliefs, dear friend, I'm just making an analogy, Mother Earth, refers to the ubiquitous gravity under our feet!" Medea explained.

"What's wrong with gravity?" Joan was still puzzled.

"We are constrained by gravity from birth, like carrying an invisible burden. Just standing up consumes a lot of energy, which is very hard, so standing is not as comfortable as sitting, and sitting is not as comfortable as lying down. This is Human nature!"

"Ah? This..." Joan couldn't believe his ears, and asked tentatively, "That is to say... the reason why you are so lazy is the fault of gravity?"

"Yeah! It's all gravity's fault! It's all gravity that makes me so lazy!"

Medea slapped the armrest of the seat excitedly.

"Life is so hard in this world. Since no matter how hard you struggle, you can't get rid of the shackles of gravity. No matter how hard you work, you still have to lie in a coffin after you die. Why bother? From the very beginning, you have to lie flat and eat and wait to die. A view of life that conforms to nature and in line with nature!"

No way? No way? You are not serious, are you? !

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, Qiao An would never have believed that there is such a brazen person in the world. In order to rationalize his laziness, he invented a set of weird theories, and blamed the gravity that could not defend himself!

"Medea... You are willing to use your brain to invent this set of fallacies, at least it shows that you are not lazy to the depths of your soul, and I should feel relieved."

"Hey! Why do you have such a loveless expression? Did I say something wrong?" Ms. Snake Hair was still not convinced.

Joan was so annoyed by her that she couldn't help but dragged her up from the armchair.

"Your so-called theory is full of loopholes, and I can prove its absurd nature right now!"

"How do you plan to prove it?" Medea hugged the back of the chair and did not let go, her eyes were full of vigilance.

"I'll take you to the spirit world right now, where there is no gravity, and there is no 'invisible burden' to press you down to the ground, to see if you will become a little more diligent."

"No, no, no! This is not acceptable, even if I go to the spirit world, I will not change my life philosophy of saving energy and labor!"

Medea's solemn demeanor is like a martyr with firm belief and unyielding loyalty.

"In fact, living in the spirit world will only make me more lazy. You don't need to stand up and walk to go to the toilet, just float over... Wait, why am I so stupid, why do I float over? Wouldn’t it be more labor-saving to pull a rope to let the toilet float over? By the way, the spirit world can also connect to the ‘cloud network’, right? Don’t go to places where there is no network connection!”

Hearing her talking to herself, Qiao An couldn't help but sighed while touching her forehead.

It seems that this woman is already at the advanced stage of laziness cancer, and there is no hope for her. It is better to let her live under the constraints of gravity, otherwise I am afraid that laziness will reach new heights.

...

Ever since she gave up treating Medea's laziness and lived with her, Joan discovered how amazingly convenient the emergence of "Cloud Network" has brought to this world.

Medea can buy daily necessities and understand the world's major events through the "cloud network" without leaving home. Unless you are forced to make a living, or like Joan, you have developed the habit of outdoor adventures and fitness exercises, there is really no need to go out often.

People are always interacting with each other, and thoughts are always changing subtly. Although Qiao An does not agree with Medea's "mole"-like lifestyle, if it is not for her special constitution, her health may have problems, but she must not If I don't admit it, this kind of small life of enjoying myself behind closed doors is quite comfortable.

Qiao An has not done statistics, but he feels that Medea is not an isolated case. As the "cloud network" continues to expand and its functions are gradually improved, it will continue to intervene in human society from both depth and breadth. The younger generation who uphold similar life attitudes will become the mainstream in society. It is hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Returning to the Underdark this time, Joan stayed longer than before. In addition to the "Palace of Silence" and "Magic Crystal Mining Area", he also went to "Garden Garden Township" to visit old friends such as Cosette and stayed for two weeks.

It wasn't until New Year's Eve, when she received a letter from Rebecca, that Joan bid farewell to her friends in the underground world and teleported to the Hermitage Manor to spend the New Year with the Custis family.

During the more than a month of living in the Underdark region, Joan still maintained the habit of subscribing to newspapers and following up on news and facts, but most of his friends were not interested in the current situation of the surface world, so he rarely talked about such topics.

Returning to Midgard and reintegrating into human society, Joan immediately felt that he was surrounded by an invisible and heavy political atmosphere. In the restaurant of Custis’s house, the topics discussed by the host and the guests were also closely related to current events. , He was still a little uncomfortable at first.

Joan has actually heard about the hot topic discussed by everyone, which is related to the legal ownership of the two colonies of Midgard and Alfheim.

Things have to start with the war that just ended in the old world.

Throughout the whole year of 1625, the Holy Ashean Empire seemed to be cursed, and its performance from top to bottom could be described as full of ugliness and embarrassment.

At the beginning of the year, the 100,000 Imperial Army marched to the Far East under the banner of "counter-insurgency". Instead of regaining the lost ground, they were completely defeated. In just half a year, the Far Eastern Army came to the capital of the Empire and was forced to surrender for peace talks.

The disastrous defeat on the battlefield shook the foundation of the imperial authorities' rule over overseas colonies. Yalfheim took the lead in setting off a tax resistance movement, and then the "Leyton Port Tea Party Incident" that shocked the world broke out. Hurricane dashed on the road, Midgard followed closely behind, and the momentum of the "Separatists" grew day by day.

By the end of 1625, Frank VII, who had just ascended the throne, faced two major difficulties.

One is the defeat indemnity of up to 1 billion gold thaler, and the empire's finances have been crushed by this heavy burden to the verge of collapse.

The second is that the separatist movement in the colonies is surging, and the waves are higher than the waves. The weakened imperial government has been unable to maintain its rule on the other side of the ocean, and can only watch the situation worsen.
