章 2157: The Immortal Cultivators of Different Classes

The queen's astonishing conclusion stunned Li Yao for a long time. He finally shook his head and said, "I fear that you cannot draw the comparison so simply. Even though the strength of one ordinary person is weak, like a…'skinny monkey', the ordinary people take up most of the population after all. Do they not have the greatest value to be exploited when considering them as a whole?"

"Theoretically, yes, but you have overlooked one point, which is that even 'exploitation' comes with a cost."

Li Linghai said, "When the cost of management far exceeds the value that can possibly be exploited, such exploitation will not be a fair deal. It is like human beings are capable of building skinny monkeys into muscular and ferocious biochemical beasts through various kinds of secret techniques, but no mines or armies in reality would ever do that because it is simply too cost-ineffective."
