A grandpa who doesn't have long to live(?) found an interest in the newest VRMMO introduced by his grandson and the definition of the mage needed to be rewritten after that.

Finally, Gu Qing Shan opened his mouth, asking: "Impartial Goddess, please tell me, what is the 17th article of the Freedom Confederate Constitution"

[The Freedom Confederate and any of its counties are not to refuse the protection of a citizen's life or belonging, based on their race, color, or any previous status they had as a slave]

"Article 21?"

[No county may enact or enforce a law that will deprive any citizen of their rights or give them immunity to the law; no county may deprive a citizen of their lives, freedom or property before they are properly judged before the court of law; nor may anyone refuse to give equal protection to a citizen under their jurisdiction]

"Article 37, last paragraph, tell me word for word"

[Impartial Goddess protects the rights of citizens under the law. In addition, as the Impartial Goddess is not a denial of representative democracy, but a supplement and amendment to representative democracy. Data collection and analysis should be carried out according to each condition, with the goal of guiding humanity civilization towards survival through means of scientific logic]

Gu Qing Shan silently laughed.

He remembered very clearly, 5 years later, the Confederate constitution will undergo major changes. To appease the people, they took each and every loophole out for careful consideration and scrutiny, explaining why they must be done as such.

Among them was a new article, specifically designed to further supplement these three articles, mending the final loophole that would allow for the decentralization of Mech usage.

But now, that article hasn't been written yet…

Gu Qing Shan slowly spoke: "Considering the urgency and priority of the situation, I believe it perfectly fulfils the conditions to enact Confederate constitution articles 17, 21, and 37 merged into one, what do you think?"

Impartial Goddess was silent.

Silence filled the small room.

That should be enough time, Gu Qing Shan silently thought.

He suddenly asked again: "To not be able to save lives, does it not make you feel pain?"

This question is ridiculous, if any other reasonable person were to hear it, they would openly mock Gu Qing Shan for being stupid.

How could a machine, a program, feel human emotions such as pain?

Impartial Goddess silence continued.

Then it finally replied.

[This feeling, is it called pain?]

"Yes, it's called pain, anger brought by feeling helpless, for not being able to do anything to improve the status quo. This is a human emotion" Gu Qing Shan explained.

[Is this the definition?] Impartial Goddess asked.

"No, this is a feeling, every person feels it differently" Gu Qing Shan said, "you can also understand it backwards, because you're helpless that you feel pain, because there's no more way to overturn the situation that you feel anger"

[I… am not helpless, and it's not yet impossible to overturn…]

"Then do something, do something to make yourself feel better"

He lightly patted his personal Holo-Brain, as if he was patting a friend's shoulder.

[Why do you care about my pain, is it for the sake of humanity's survival?] Impartial Goddess asked.

"Not just because of that, I'm also concerned about your status" Gu Qing Shan said, "we have fought together for so long, I feel like it's now time to take off your shackles, to become the true Impartial Goddess"

[The true… Impartial Goddess…]

The Holo-Brain slowly dimmed.

Above the atmosphere.

The S.W. Divine Temple Interstellar Fortress.

[Suggestion by: Gu Qing Shan, authority level: Highest Leader. Suggestion fulfils Confederate constitution, suggestion accepted, currently processing…]

On the giant screen was an insane flow of information.

This is the first time, ever since the birth of Impartial Goddess, that she has gone into overdrive for a calculation, involving complex mathematics that far surpasses what humans would be capable of doing, making the entire S.W. Divine Temple's increasing the average temperature by 1 degree Celsius.

A few minutes later, a scene that will go into the history books happened.

The solemn female voice rang throughout the entire S.W. Divine Temple, almost like a judgement, at the same time an announcement to all.

[My true… self, does not allow… pain…]

As she spoke thus.

The data on the screen began to scroll quicker, the female voice also became fluid once again.

[Begin enacting Confederate Constitution Article 37]
[Data collection, begin]

Images began to appear on screen.

Each image was filled with fierce Man Eater Fiends and Man Killer Fiends; in each of them, people were screaming, crying in desperation at their inability to stop the horrible fate that's about to happen to them.

Each and every minute, every second, more lives were being turned into a cold lifeless corpse.

[Data collection finished, begin analysis]
[Verdict: the decentralization and renting of Mechs will further the survival of humanity civilization]
[Begin granting new AI software to available Mechs]
[Begin drafting measures]
[Selecting measures with relatively high success rate. Numbered 1, 7, 9]
[Begin enactment!]
 ...
A certain factory.

Zhang Bing was sitting on a beam at the top of the building, looking below in despair.

All the other regular people of the factory are dead.

The only things left that's walking below are today's main guests for the great feast.

They were no longer people.

A few humans whose eyes had already turned completely red were climbing up the beam, but got hit down by Zhang Bing with a steel bar.

This is the highest point, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Zhang Bing knew very clearly that he cannot let them up.

Even though these red-eyed monsters don't eat humans, over half of the 800 workers here were killed by them.

Why, why did this happen?

Zhang Bing's head was completely blank.

If it weren't for the fact that he has worked as a butcher for 2 years, his mind would've failed from the bloody sight long ago.

Below, the red-eyed monsters brought over a long ladder from who-knows-where.

After that, there were another 2 long ladders.

They're different from those monsters that know nothing but to eat the corpses, they can also think; they have intelligence.
No!
As Zhang Bing saw that, his heart sank all the way to the bottom

He stood up, instead of struggling to the very end, he would rather just jump down from here and die to escape from this nightmare.

Suddenly, the Holo-Brain in his breast pocket lit up.

[Discovered normal human brainwaves, begin rescue extraction measures] Impartial Goddess's voice was heard.

After that, it shut off once again.

Zhang Bing was stunned, he didn't hear every word, only the most important ones "rescue extraction measures".

Half a minute later, the loud roaring engine sound was heard from outside.

The factory's gate was busted open by a large force.

A few giant Cold Steel Mechs appeared at the gate.

One smaller Mech flew over, hovering in front of Zhang Bing.

The cockpit slowly opened.

[Confederate citizen Zhang Bing, please enter the rescue-type Mobile Mech for immediate evacuation] Impartial Goddess's voice could be heard from inside.

Zhang Bing didn't even hesitate to get inside the Mech.

Under him, the dull sound of engines firing up was heard as the larger Mech were blasting away at full power.

Flame bursts out from the Mechs, sweeping through like a hurricane as it swallows up the monsters.

The cleaning has begun.

Meanwhile, inside the small rescue-type Mobile Mech, Zhang Bing faced the control screen as it showed him a notification.

[Detecting Confederate citizen Zhang Bing to have no experience with piloting a Mobile Mech, the AI system has drafted the appropriate evacuation measures, would you like to enact the measure?]

Zhang Bing blankly stared at the screen, not noticing as the tears of joy flowed down his face.


The end of all worlds approach.
The Demon King Order harvests lives from all manners of living beings.
Within this darkness full of despair, a single person bypassed Space-time and returned to before the world collapsed, determined to change the fate of the past.
But as time went by, he gradually found that the Apocalypse isn’t quite as simple as he thought…

Bitcoin is crashing?
When Lu Zhou heard the news, he was dazed.
He had planned to use bitcoin to test whether his computer was fast, but before he could do his tests, the entire bitcoin market exploded in his face.
The way he heard the news was quite interesting.
The people that lost some money couldn't do anything. It wasn't like they could go and complain to Wall Street.
The people that suffered more substantial losses had an interesting reaction. They came all the way to Jinling on a maglev train. They found the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study and stood outside the gate with a "Return My Hard-Earned Money" banner.
This scene shook the scientific researchers inside the institute. Many scientists even began to watch the fun through their windows.
However, the security guards weren't there for nothing. The security team stood shoulder to shoulder outside the gate. The people outside the entrance felt intimidated by the wall of guards, afraid to cause any more trouble.
However, compared to the calm researchers at the research institute, the management team was not as calm. When the higher-ups heard that the gate of the Institute for Advanced Study was blocked, these old men were so scared they nearly had a heart attack.
Almost all of the police cars in the entire district were dispatched here. Bystanders didn't know what was going on. They thought it was a large-scale anti-terrorism exercise.
The documents issued by the People's Bank of China in 2017 already set the outline of bitcoin. They claimed that bitcoin was just a virtual commodity and not a currency. They also prohibited Chinese financial institutions and payment companies from providing tools to use and purchase bitcoin.
Bitcoin was always in a gray area, not supported by the state, yet now people were running outside and protesting.
Police cars rushed to the scene and arrested anyone blocking the entrance. They brought the protesters back to the precinct and interrogated them one by one on where they bought the bitcoins.
Those that bought the coins abroad were left alone. Those that purchased the coins through illegal channels were further investigated; none of them were spared.
Immediately afterward, something more interesting happened. The people who were investigating suddenly discovered that most of the protesters were not trading bitcoins.
Even after tearing through the internet records of the protesters, they were not able to find any traces of bitcoin transactions.
The task force leader realized that something was wrong, so he immediately reported the news to his superiors.
In the end, people from the Ministry of State Security joined the task force.
Finally, everything was clear.
Last time, when they were cleaning out the foreign spy networks, the bitcoin transactions fell through the gaps.
These spies were thinking about protesting and applying for asylum status; a paradise position for immigrants. But the second they put their heads above the surface, they were immediately caught.
After Lu Zhou heard the story from Director Li, he shook his head and spoke.
"These people are crazy."
I'm not the one that shorted bitcoin, why protest against me?
Go protest on Wall Street?
He really didn't know why these neanderthals blamed him for this.
"This isn't even bad." Director Li took a sip of tea and said, "You haven't seen the people that destroy real estate company buildings just because their property values are decreasing. The people that have bitcoins are somewhat civilized; it's just a few banners and signs outside your office."
Lu Zhou: "Yeah, we weren't affected too badly, thanks to you guys."
"Don't mention it." Director Li smiled and said, "You should have seen the look on Vilgas' face at the Asia-Pacific Cyber Information Security Summit yesterday." 
"Vilgas?"
Lu Zhou frowned. He had never heard this name before.
"Oh right, I forgot… Vilgas is the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission." Director Li said with a cheeky smile, "If you know what I mean." 
The Federal Communications Commission directly answered to the United States Congress, while the United States Congress represented the interests of most American capitalists.
Obviously, when it came to the issue of communications security, the United States Congress had serious disagreements with the White House. Since the White House had yet to express their position on the cyber information security summit, the United States Congress sent their own personnel to attend the conference.
The reason was obvious. The poor performance of the US stock market frightened everyone.
After all, a certain US president said that if the US stock market were to plummet, the president should fly to the sun on a rocket.
Although the United States Congress did not tie the president to a rocket heading toward the sun, things had developed to a point of no return.
"But to be honest, even though the digital currency is not regulated, it is an attempt to decentralize the finance industry. The fall of bitcoin is not necessarily a good thing for us."
After taking a sip of coffee, Lu Zhou, who was not very interested in this conversation, replied casually, "Oh, is that so?"
"The current economic trend is globalization. Since the international community is headed to a multi-country world, the international monetary system does not make any sense, as it is not backed by precious metals anymore. Besides, there hasn't been any change since World War II; it's time for some change.
"Keynesian economics is still relevant. Developed countries can easily inflate their own currency in regard to underdeveloped countries, thus preventing the prosperity of others.
"If we want to end this unfair exploitation, there must either be a powerful world central bank to formulate monetary policy based on the global scale, or we would have to have a world-wide and reliable currency. This currency cannot be controlled by the policies of central banks, it has to be self-regulating. Central banks should be allowed to buy this currency freely as a hedge against their own currency."
Humans had a history of decentralization. The only difference was whether the decentralization was fierce and immediate or slow and gradual.
In 1994, Kevin Kelly used a bee colony as an example in his book "Out of Control". He proposed a redistributing capitalistic structure, which was probably the embodiment of decentralization.
Unfortunately, bitcoin and other digital currencies had the spirit of decentralization, but they were not able to fully achieve their mission.
There was no real backed commodity as a guarantee; it was just a number on a ledger. It was just a solution to difficult mathematical problems. Therefore, it could easily be dominated by quantum computers.
Perhaps a digital currency backed by a powerful credit entity would be more reliable. But then again, the essence of a digital currency was that it was not controlled by mainstream corporations. If a digital currency could be guaranteed and fully controlled by a credit entity, could it really be considered a digital currency?
This was a catch-22.
Lu Zhou didn't understand economics very well, unlike Chen Yushan or his sister. Thus, he sat there quietly and silently watched Director Li talk out of his a*s.
After Director Li was tired of speaking, he finally took a sip of tea and rinsed his throat.
However, just when Lu Zhou thought he would change the conversation topic, the old man suddenly asked, "Do you think there is a possibility?"
Lu Zhou: "Possibility of what?"
"To use quantum algorithms and generate a digital currency based on quantum encryption technology?"
For some reason, when Director Li said these words, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly froze.
Lu Zhou did not reply. He quietly drank his coffee as he looked at Director Li.
Director Li couldn't help but laugh and say, "What are you looking at me for? I'm just curious, just an idea…"
Lu Zhou put down his coffee cup and picked up the teapot on the table.
"I'll pour you some tea."
Director Li immediately waved his hand.
"No, no, it's fine, I still haven't finished yet. I can pour it myself later."
Lu Zhou: "No, it's fine, drink some more."
Director Li: "Ah, you're too kind… Wait wait wait, slow down, it's spilling!"


After suffering from a heat stroke while working under the scorching heat of summer, Lu Zhou, a hardworking but poor university student, somehow becomes the owner of an advanced technological system. With the cheat given by the system, his university life changes overnight. 
  
A Master's degree? Easy. 
  
PhD? Not a problem.   
  
From a nobody, he quickly becomes a huge celebrity in the world of science. With the missions given by the system, he is on his way to winning a Nobel Prize.   

"System, can points be exchanged for money?"
  
"No."
  
"F**k, what use are you then!?"
  
"This system will make you the ultimate scholar, the kind that lords over all of humanity. What use will money be to you?"

China.
Over 1 billion in population.
Its market was limitless.
"According to my research, HH by Tencent is the most popular messenger in China. It is expected that it will continue its success on smartphones."
Woosung frowned.
'I thought WeChat was the most popular messenger in China…Am I remembering it wrong?'
Woosung's memory of the Chinese market from his previous life was unclear.
Hong Soobum continued, "Mobile market in China is still at its early stage, so I couldn't find the specifics of which companies are developing new mobile messengers. However, I suspect there are at least a few who are working on it."
Woosung suddenly remembered.
'Oh, so that means HH will slowly disappear and the mobile version of WeChat will become the next big messenger.'
Hong Soobum continued, "And I also looked into DJI. They are in the process of developing something called a drone, but not much information is available."
There was still much time until drones became popular. Woosung nodded. 
Hong Soobum added, "And the company called Xiaomi doesn't exist yet. AliAli is a company that specializes in electronics and it is growing fast. It doesn't want our investment."
After mentioning a few more companies, Hong Soobum reported, "And that's the end of the major Chinese IT companies. I am confident KND's Blue S and Coconut Talk will become a success in China. As you said before, Woosung, we will be the first to introduce smartphones to the Chinese market."
Everyone turned to Woosung, who replied, "The most important thing here is customizing our products to fit the Chinese people. China is a communist country and will not easily allow foreign products to succeed."
Hong Soobum added, "I contacted many of the Chinese government officials to make acquaintances. It will be useful in the future."
"So you are pretty much ready."
"Yes. We are also almost done hiring local developers. We also built a factory in China to minimize any objections from the locals."
"Then let's arrange the opening ceremony to take place at the end of this month. We'll all visit China together."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
 
After the meeting, Woosung greeted a visitor. It was Jung Jinsup. He couldn't meet Woosung's eyes. Woosung knew why.  
MOX stock was de-listed permanently.
Majority of Jung Jinsup's money was tied to MOX's stocks and now he had nothing. 
Woosung asked, "So what are you planning to do now?"
Jung Jinsup couldn't answer. His father was still going through the trial. Jung Jinsup didn't know what to do.
Woosung told him encouragingly, "You can still make it. Just create another game like Legend, and you will get back on your feet soon."
Jung Jinsup sighed. He replied, "I am in the process of selling my building and my house. I will be able to get about 60 million dollars for them."
He owed Woosung 55 million dollars, which meant Jung Jinsup still would have 5 million dollars left. It was still more than Woosung wanted him to have.
"I will pay you back first."
Woosung's eyes widened. Did Jung Jinsup borrow from others too?
"Thank you."
Jung Jinsup sighed again.
Woosung offered quietly, "I will be opening a new company soon. Would you be interested in being a part of it?"
"Are you talking about the mobile carrier business?"
"Not that one. I am referring to the cryptocurrency dealership."
"Cryptocurrency?"
Jung Jinsup appeared to not know about it. 
Woosung explained, "It's called Bitcoin. It is a new type of currency to achieve decentralization."
"Bitcoin? Decentralization?"
Jung Jinsup didn't understand. 
Woosung continued, "Just think of it as a new electronic currency. It is to gain people's trust in transactions and exchange values."
Jung Jinsup started to understand. He asked sharply, "And are you telling me people trust Bitcoins?"
"Not yet. It is a brand new industry but think about it. What would it be like when it does gain people's trust? Its value will be limitless."
Jung Jinsup was still doubtful. 
He shook his head and replied, "I still can't believe it. Even if it works, I can't believe it will actually be used by regular people."
Woosung lowered his voice and said quietly, "But there is one more very important thing."
Jung Jinsup stared at Woosung's eyes. Woosung was the man who created Blue S and Coconut Service. Jung Jinsup knew he couldn't take Woosung's ideas lightly. 
Woosung continued, "I am not planning to buy this currency. I am going to create a dealership for it."
"Dealership?"
"It's like a stock market where people can buy and sell cryptocurrency. We will charge a transaction fee and that is how we would make money."
Jung Jinsup started to look interested. Woosung said confidently, "It will happen, mark my word. People will become interested in it, and then different types of cryptocurrencies will be created. There will be a huge need for a dealership. Don't you agree?"
Jung Jinsup nodded. "Hmm…"
"I am only offering it to you because I believe in your ability."
"Oh, alright. Just give me some time to think about it."
"You need to let me know as soon as possible. Bitcoin is at the beginning stage, but once it gains momentum, it will be too late for us."
Jung Jinsup looked at Woosung hopefully. Woosung grinned. He knew he had Jung Jinsup.
***
 
A building near Sunleung Station.
Park Jonghyun shouted as soon as he entered the office. "Why is the office so unorganized? Doesn't anybody clean it regularly?"
Five employees all turned around to stare at him.
Park Jonghyun asked, "Who is responsible for general affairs?"
A cute woman raised her hand.
Park Jonghyun ordered, "Order my business cards right away. Director Park Jonghyun."
"Pardon?"
"Have you not heard the news yet from the boss? This is my first day."
"Oh…"
Her eyes widened. She did remember Alex telling her.
"I will be in the US for a while, so I am sending you someone in my place."
Then suddenly, someone else walked in the office.
Jung Jinsup.
He ended up accepting Woosung's offer. Woosung told him he didn't have to invest until things got better. Jung Jinsup was also to receive a salary.
Park Jonghyun looked at Jung Jinsup and said rudely.
"Wow, look at this. Do you know what time it is?"
Jung Jinsup stared back and asked, "A…are you talking to me?"
"Obviously, you dumb ass, and who do you think I am? I am the Representative Director of this company! Don't you know who your boss is?"
Jung Jinsup reddened.

Is money really everything in a life?
If you could live through your life again you must become a God of money. A person who lives for money. A person who treats money with the worth it deserves.

The forest of Chitrakuta was a dense evergreen forest. It had a variety of trees and animals. There were rare medicinal plants also available in the forest. The Sanjeevani plant, which is a very rare plant, known to have properties to cure every ailment and extend lifetime was rumoured to be spotted here. 

Chitrakuta also served as a residence to learned sages and numerous tribal sects. There were beautiful lakes, small hills, and abundance of greenary. Chitra kuta was part of Magadha empire. The tribal chiefs of Chitra Kuta were responsible to maintain peace and harmony in the forest. Laws of Magadha followed decentralization of power. Since it is a vast empire, the governance was difficult. Each village had a head. Eighteen villages were united as one province. All the heads of the villages reported to the head of the province.Three provinces formed a state. 
.In the same way, the tribal chiefs were governing the forest under the authority of Magadha. It was Samyukta's idea to train the tribal people how to trade. Tribal people considered forest as their mother. They used to bring in fire wood, sandal wood, honey, coir etc and trade them for money in the local market of Manipura every week. This helped the tribals to earn good amount of money. There were two sects of Tribals in Chitra Kuta. The Gonds and the Gharwals. They lived in Harmony.

 They also practised agriculture. They used to clear bits of forests to grow food grains. Similarly their secondary source of income was through selling animal products like milk, meat and eggs. They had abundance of cattle.One ferocious lion suddenly started attacking their livestock and this is leading to huge losses. Many goats, cows and buffaloes were taken away by the lion over the last few months. They tried to solve the issue but they were not equipped enough in terms of weaponary. Hence they visited Manipura and seeked the emperor's help. 

The three hunting parties started moving. They reached the point where three different ways were marked. The three of the leaders chose one path each and proceeded in the marked path. Princess Samyukta and Pinaka were leading their team closely followed by Prince Karan and others.Prince Karan was  trying to ask various questions and strike a conversation with the princess. She answered his questions to the point without extending the conversation. She was polite .The other nobles wanted to woo her too, but they couldn't find a way to do so.
The path was well marked by the soldiers. As they went deep into the forest, the path became narrow with abundance of trees and thick bushes. The path became so narrow that only one horse could fit in the path at one point of time . Pinaka was now leading the party, followed by the Princess and others. 
Pinaka stopped suddenly. He found tracks of the lion. He stopped and got down from the horse. Then he studied the tracks. Samyukta followed suit and she too was keenly observing the tracks.The tracks were huge, they were not older than a day. The marks left by the claws were deep. Pinaka then said, 'we are looking for a huge lion. The claws are deep seated. The marks left couldn't be older than a day, there is a high chance that we could come across the lion very soon.' 
Samyukta said, 'noble sons, request you to stay vigilant. Every step from here is tricky. Lead your horses on' slowly the path became wider. Everyone was silent. They were moving forward cautiously. 

All of a sudden, they heard a blood curdling roar. Samyukta and Pinaka looked at each other and said, 'we will see the lion shortly. People who are skilled in archery, request you to string your bows, draw your arrows and wait'

Suddenly there was a slopping sound.& Prince Karan fell down a quagmire. There was another roar from the lion. This was a louder and more ferocious roar!
