Lucifer sacrificed too much for world peace

Elder Bill Forbes, sneezing all the way away from Lucifer.

Einstein looked at the back of the other party worriedly: "It seems that many people are talking about Grandpa Bill... But it's normal, after all, Grandpa Bill has a banquet today!"

"Here, there is also a saying that you sneeze because you are being chanted?" Lucifer asked a little surprised.

"Yes, that's why Grandpa Bill would sneeze from time to time every time he hosted a banquet. It must be because everyone thanked Grandpa Bill in their hearts."

Lucifer: "..."

He felt that this common saying might have been invented by a person who was punished by sneezing all day long, so that he could cover up that he was actually doing bad things!

However, Lucifer did not intend to expose Elder Forbes. After all, he seemed to be quite popular. It would be no good for him to tell the truth, and it might make Einstein feel that his character was problematic.

So he changed the subject and began to make insinuations about the elders' group.

Although this world is under the control of God's efforts, there is no hierarchy of kings and nobles, but it is still inevitable that resources will be concentrated to capable people.

Although there is no such system as a country, the city-state of Eden has naturally established a group of elders based on popular votes to count public opinion. developed to the present.

Lucifer understood the vote as soon as he heard it: "Elder Forbes must have a high number of votes."

"Of course, everyone respects a generous and kind person like Grandpa Bill." Einstein said with certainty.

Hmm... But isn't this just buying someone to vote for him? !

[Although Bill Forbes is a bit vain, he is still very considerate of the public when making decisions-and, no one is perfect, this is your view all the time... your previous view. 】

"That's true." Lucifer felt relieved after thinking about it, "I think so now too."

In fact, the truth is very simple. Being selfish doesn’t mean you’re a bad person, it’s just God’s punishment that was stuffed into your head before. He thought God was a world of control freaks, how tall people would become, and the result was just being suppressed. ah!

I always feel that in such a depressing environment, there will be perverts who are very good at taking advantage of loopholes... I hope God will punish me to be smarter.

While chatting, Lucifer noticed that Einstein kept looking at his cup.He moved the cup tentatively, and Einstein's gaze drifted away.

Probably knowing that he had been discovered, Einstein simply tried to ask Lucifer for the half sip of wine he hadn't finished, on the grounds that it was not good to waste it.The corner of Lucifer's mouth twitched, and he said that as long as you don't think I drank it, Einstein happily drank it.

Lucifer was amazed: "So you really think this is delicious?"

Einstein gave him a strange look: "This is a level that can be dedicated to God? Speaking of which, I used to study how to make wine, but later found that buying grapes was too expensive, so I finally focused on mathematics."

Speaking of studying, Lucifer pondered for a while, instead of asking Einstein, he went to ask the alarm clock, because he felt that if he asked about the origin of the school, he would be regarded as a weirdo.

The alarm clock really is another long story.

[In the beginning, in order to increase the efficiency of educating the masses, the sages who received the guidance of the angels asked people to gather together and talk about it.Later, with the church, the auditorium became a fixed place to answer doubts. 】

[Later, the scholars and elders reached an agreement with the church to use the place to teach those who want to learn - because knowledge is sacred, it must be done under the watchful eye of God, and sharing what you know with others is a Commendable virtues—later it evolved into a school established by the elders and the church in cooperation, where scholars volunteered to teach, and anyone could become a student and attend classes. 】

"The sense of education in this world is very good." Lucifer was not surprised.

He was actually ready to face the ignorant world of knowledge blockade like "Dark Middle Ages". Later, he found that the signboards of the major stores had developed from patterns to words, and the only two customers were still very good at mathematics. Forced, he knew the education level of the Eden people at that time, and now he finally knows the reason.

[In the past, there were people who wanted to control knowledge, let the ignorant remain ignorant, and make it easier for them to use, but you killed several people with lightning...]

"Well, well done...wait a minute, why am I? Was I a model worker before?!" Lucifer couldn't help complaining, "You still said that I wanted to spread the Seven Deadly Sins before, but in the end the serious and guilty ones were still hacked by me. It's gone!"

The alarm clock replied: [You were indeed a model worker before. As for why you killed the guilty person, I haven't found any information about the details. You probably didn't instill it when you created me. Ask other angels and they should be able to know. 】

Lucifer raised his forehead: "I'm just complaining, I probably know why, and where can I find an angel..."

【Angels will visit the world this year—】

"Okay, you don't have to remind me about this again! Now is not a good time to meet them!!!"

If the angel wants to know what he wants to do, he must sue God 100% of the time. What else can he do when God wakes up?

Being brought up by the alarm clock, Lucifer's thoughts were confused, and he didn't bother to continue to investigate whether there was any problem with the world's technology tree.

How long will it take for a world where all people can learn freely to develop into an industrial revolution?

This idea just flashed through Lucifer's mind before sinking into the darkness.

***

Although there were some not-so-beautiful episodes at the banquet, Lucifer was not without gains.

On the one hand, he knew a lot of humanistic customs that he could not understand just by looking at the alarm clock. On the other hand, he also let some Eden people know that he opened a shop.

Although Lucifer himself doesn't look in the mirror very much, he is still very conscious of his appearance. At the banquet, while he was chatting with Einstein, someone came over and asked Einstein to introduce him.

Einstein's short-sightedness, of course, honestly advertised Lucifer's shop, so that Lucifer's silently opened shop finally had a sense of existence.

As for the effect of this wave of advertisements——

"Not only are there no new customers today, but even old customers are gone."

Lucifer lay sleepily on the counter and yawned: "On the third day of opening, I thought that according to the previous rules, there should be another new customer today..."

What's the matter, it turned out to be more deserted than the previous two days? Shouldn't I have gone to that banquet yesterday?

Just thinking about whether something should be done to attract new customers, Lucifer noticed a familiar figure passing by outside, and immediately opened the door curtain and walked in.

"Good afternoon, Lord Sage."

Ludwig Gauss said hello and introduced the newcomer he brought to Lucifer: "This is my friend, Christina Dumas."

Lucifer was silent for a moment: "...Welcome, Miss Christina Dumas."

With this surname, is he finally a liberal arts boss?Although it is sexually transferred!

"Hello." Christina Dumas saluted Lucifer, her eyes quickly scanned the room with a look of anticipation.

Gauss took Christina Dumas to a familiar position, where the packed chessboard was placed.Strangely, the two of them sat side by side, and the seat opposite them was vacant.

"...Huh? Miss Dumas won't participate in the trial?" Lucifer raised his eyebrows.

Gauss nodded: "Yes, this trial is still up to me—but, I can use the rewards freely, right?"

"Of course." Lucifer understood.

My God, this world is too miserable, it’s okay without French food, and instant noodles can be used to pick up girls! ! !

Lucifer sat down opposite Ludwig Gauss while complaining frantically in his heart.

Christina Dumas clasped her hands together, showing an embarrassed expression: "I'm not very good at math, and I'm curious about the food he described, so I can only ask Luther for help..."

"It's okay." Lucifer smiled at Christina Dumas calmly, saying that he didn't expect Gauss to look indifferent, but he was actually quite coquettish, and he thought of using his shop to gain favor after only one visit.

The single dog Lucifer changed his mind, and said to Gauss who was already planning to guess: "You are already familiar with backgammon, so let's change the rules for this trial."

Gauss was taken aback, but did not hesitate: "Yes, what rules?"

"This time, it's not called backgammon, it's called Go." Lucifer picked up the black and white chess pieces and demonstrated while explaining the rules until he was sure that Gauss understood.

Gauss's eyes seemed to be bright: "The rules this time are also very interesting!"

"Very good, I knew you would like it." Lucifer said with satisfaction, "Then come."

Different from Gauss's cautious play, Lucifer put his own piece on it as soon as the opponent made a move. It is a precise calculation that is enough to make the earth player exclaim "This is artificial intelligence!" Gauss felt a little stressed by the performance of being able to accurately strike the enemy almost without thinking.

Don't bring someone here, but you didn't pass the test...

Seeing that Christina Dumas was about to fall asleep, while Gauss was still thinking, Lucifer took out the "Selected Poems of Tagore" that he had drawn for the second ten times in a row, and let the alarm clock set After the text was transformed into the text of this world, I handed it to Miss Dumas: "Read it if you're bored."

Gauss, although he wanted to bring the girl to eat something good, he still didn't consider the feeling of the girl being left out in the cold. For the sake of being a regular customer, he will help.

Having something to pass the time is better than sitting still, Christina Dumas took the book after thanking her.

Seeing the collection of poems written on the title of the cover, she thought it might be a church hymn.

Christina Dumas opened the book with a presupposition, the pages rustled and stopped on a certain page randomly.The typesetting of this collection of poems is a waste of paper, and there is only one sentence on the whole page.

Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves.

She was immediately hit by this poem.

——God, can poetry still be written like this?
