Chapter 525 - 518: System
The Shenzhou People have a very complex set of traits. Most of them are willing to change their fate through hard work, value education, avoid trouble, and show little interest in anything other than making money. No matter in which corner of the world they live, it’s very hard to change their original habits, that is, they are hard to assimilate.
Shenzhou People are generally very shrewd, each calculating their own small advantages, mostly striving to improve their living environment. They find it hard to take interest in things beyond making money.
The vast majority are quiet and ordinary citizens, with both cowards and the brave among them, but the former far outnumber the latter.
A seemingly peaceful group, it’s not easy to reveal their fearsome side unless faced with great disaster.
The fearsome side is unity, where a nation’s people can swiftly switch to crisis mode, showing the essence of a fighting nation.
It must be understood that when one-fifth of humanity is hardworking and resilient, if needed, they can quickly unify their will and swiftly shift into a state of combat, thoroughly crushing the inner cowards. Just a few brave individuals leading the charge to fight against the heavens, the earth, and all visible and invisible enemies to the death—how could the rest of humanity possibly compete with such a collective?
If they can’t compete, the rivals and potential rivals of the Shenzhou People within human society would certainly feel fear.
Pangu splitting heaven and earth, Nuwa mending the sky, Hou Yi shooting down the suns, Yu the Great controlling the waters, Jingwei filling the sea, Yu Gong moving mountains.
These idioms, these mythological stories, are the condensed collective memories of the Shenzhou People and also their collective education. This is how the Shenzhou People survived for thousands of years.
Therefore, when a traffic radio host choked up on air saying this is not the end of the world, this is war, it was destined that only the Shenzhou People would stand up and turn the tide.
