Chapter 956 Reason?

“The action of mixing in debris and maximizing profits has been exposed, and more efficient methods must be adopted in the future. [No pop-ups..]”

"Yes, we have come up with a second option. We can recycle the remaining food scraps, and then..."

The store clerk's conversation entered Lin's thoughts. The words were very quiet and could not be heard by the nearby Atlans, but the octopus's sensing device could receive them...

A few clerks there were talking about how to maximize profits, but Lin felt that mixing in the clutter was... stupid.

Because this is easy to detect, maybe it's because their intelligence has become lower without their original emotions?

But it seems that after they have no emotions, they will still find ways to obtain their own interests. This is an interesting place.

Lin did not continue to listen to the clerks discussing how to reduce costs to make food. The mechanical octopus continued to move elsewhere.

There were many Atlans walking around the mechanical octopus. They all only showed curiosity about the octopus for about one to three seconds, and then continued walking.

Then, Lin continued to move forward and approached what looked like a shop selling weapons and armor.

"My teammates and my father all died while scavenging." An Atlan was standing in front of the weapons store and said to the clerk: "I need to get a new set of equipment to avoid equipment with the same results as them."

"You must have purchased equipment from the store next door." The clerk said, "The equipment I have here can guarantee your life."

As before, the two Atlans communicated without any emotion. Lin looked at them, then walked to the equipment shop and said, "Can I buy equipment?"

"We don't have any equipment for alien creatures." The clerk said, "Please leave before I think you are a threat."

"I can use your equipment." Lin pointed to a weapon in the store and said, "That's it."

"If you continue to stay, we will pose a threat to you." As the clerk said expressionlessly, he also reached for a weapon on his waist. This weapon was the same as the one who led the way before. 'Extremely effective freeze gun'.

"..." Lin paused for a moment, then said, "Are you an idiot?"

The clerk said: "Are you describing me as having low intelligence? I don't think a creature that we meet for the first time has the right to make such an evaluation of me.

I want to give you a hint. If you continue to stay, you will enter the range that allows killing. "

"What's the allowed killing range?" Lin asked.

The clerk said: "We do not provide responses on legal issues."

"Do you provide this kind of response?" Lin continued to ask; "What would you do if your father died?"

The clerk seemed to think for a moment, and then said: "If it dies from any injuries, I will gain its experience to prevent me from suffering the same injuries and dying."

"...The range time is up." As he said that, the clerk suddenly raised his weapon and aimed it at the mechanical octopus. Lin immediately stepped back when she saw this, and then the clerk put down the weapon. And said: "...out of range."

Lin had noticed before that there was a horizontal line drawn on the ground outside the store. The octopus was inside the line just now, but now it stopped attacking if it left the line slightly.

I see. It seems that the inside of the line is its store range, and 'exotic creatures' such as mechanical octopuses will be attacked if they stay within the store range for a certain period of time?

It seems that they have some very weird laws, and it seems that they also have experience in communicating with alien creatures, which can be seen in the process of dealing with the mechanical octopus just now.

Although they have no emotions. But he is very good at calculating various... pros and cons.

At the same time, Lin also noticed something. The number of Atlans here seemed to be much more than what she had seen described in Rosalie's diary before. Of course, their behavior was also very different. For example, the description in the diary did not mention it much. Currency trading this.

At that time, Rosalie's own equipment did not require currency, but it seems to be completely different now... And Rosalie was captured by the captor and came back not long ago, why did these Atlans produce so much? And the change is so big?

Lin felt that this was a bit like some kind of...infection.

But this should have nothing to do with water polo. If the water polo can affect this place, then it won't care about the debris floating here...

Moreover, the incident occurred during the period when Rosalie left. The Atlans had been living here for a long time, and there were no problems.

What happened during this period. As a result, these Atlans have undergone such wonderful changes...

Their changes can be said to be the opposite of the madness caused by the influence of water polo. They have become... rational, that is, they deal with everything by calculating the pros and cons, rather than using emotions.

Generally speaking, creatures with individual personalities will mix 'reason' and 'emotion' when dealing with things, and different individuals will prefer different ways of doing things.

But this group of Atlans is completely biased towards one side and has lost the emotional part.

Lin is still listening to their conversation. The content of their conversations is also the same, without any emotion mixed in, and...

"You! You are here!"

Lin suddenly heard a voice filled with rich emotions, and this voice belonged to... Rosalie.

Lin looked behind and saw that Rosalie had also arrived, standing in front of several Atlans with excitement on her face, and talking to them.

"I miss you all the time! Nothing's wrong with you all this time, right? Where's Bumi? Isn't he here? How is he?"

"Oh, it's Rosary, you're back." The Atlans replied with emotionless voices: "Bumi? He died in the last operation."

"Dead...dead?" Rosalie asked in shock: "How could..."

"Yes, dead." An Atlan said: "You just came back, do you want to rejoin us? But we suspect that your skills may have declined. We should go to the training room together to see if your skills are still there. As skilled as before, is he still a qualified scavenger?"

"Wait a minute, when it dies, you..." Rosalie was already surprised: "Aren't you a little sad?"

"The death of an experienced scavenger is indeed a big loss for us." Atlan said: "But also because of this, we obtained a lot of equipment left behind by it, which saved us a lot. This is a good thing, and we think that maybe we can implement the same policy in the future - deliberately letting the new recruit die so that we can reasonably obtain its equipment and thus save our own resources. Of course, we will not let you Death, after all we recognize your skill…the skill it once was.”

"You..." Rosalie seemed speechless. (To be continued.)
