The Ease of Eternal Life
Mendel looked embarrassed.
Although Mendel knew that Wang Fujian was also a highly skilled and mysterious figure, he had not expected that Wang would kick him out even with several lecturers present.
They thought they could get free food and drinks.
Mendel rose and left the room at an extremely slow pace, seemingly slowly but actually very slowly.
"We're here for a meeting today, why are you kicking us out?"
[Chilie] was unhappy.
Mendel was His student in name only. If Wang Fujian had driven Mendel out, wouldn't that be like spanking Him?
He turned to Mendel and said, "You sit here and take whatever you want to eat!"
Mendel was overjoyed and immediately returned to his seat.
But [Chilie] didn't finish his sentence:
Oh, right, bring them all to me.
You're just going to sit here and watch us eat!
Mendel: "..."
Su Luo hesitated for a moment, but then naturally continued eating.
Regardless of whether you need to participate in AA.
Since I've already eaten and have no money left, what difference does it make how much I owe?
Moreover, these foods were quite beneficial to Su Luo.
For example, a dish called "[All-Evil Tentacle Monster]" tastes quite good.
The sensation in your mouth is like swallowing a bouncing bomb, with endless variations arising from it.
The specific cooking process is unknown, but the ingredients are listed on the menu.
Originating from a high-level breeding farm, this is a [Demigod]-level ingredient supply source, and the essence of Tentacle Heavenly Venerable who has Perfect utilized the [Mana—Elemental Orthodox Path] to ascend to a certain herb element.
Non- Demigod beings can benefit immensely from this, as it allows them to anticipate the elemental changes in the Elemental Path.
There is also the [Elixir of Eternal Life], which is considered Demigod- level ingredient.
The effect is very simple: immortality.
Of course, this is only immortality through self- Cycle, with no other effects. If one cultivates a technique that consumes lifespan, the lifespan recovery rate will not keep up, and one will eventually die of old age.
If there are World Rules stipulating a lifespan limit, then there's even less that can be done.
The price is also very cheap, less than 100 million.
The significance of this dish is that any being in [Adrian]'s realm can easily attain immortality if they so desire.
A place that can create almost an unlimited number of immortal beings, a society where immortality is possible at low cost, means that even pigs can become gods.
After technological breakthroughs, the increase in lifespan first occurs additively, then multiplicatively, then exponentially, and ultimately becomes endless.
Theoretically, immortality can be achieved simply by ensuring that the rate of lifespan recovery exceeds the rate of lifespan depletion.
The technical barrier to entry is actually not high.
Civilization Development to a certain level, immortality becomes a standard feature of a society's invisible capabilities.
Su Luo asked Zuo Guxian, who was engrossed in his work in the Dreamscape, and discovered that [String Civilization] had almost reached the eve of [Immortal Society].
Nine Strings is already at the level of immortality. All that remains is for society to progress and for advanced technology to become widespread. After a thousand years of development, the String Civilization will be able to achieve immortality for all its members.
However, according to the information Su Luo found in the academy Library, among civilizations capable of achieving immortality for all, those that truly choose to grant immortality to all make up less than one-tenth of the total.
The percentage is even more outrageous on the purely Technology Side, where it's less than one percent.
Moreover, the methods for limiting lifespan are usually very brutal. Most involve simply eliminating the person after their legal lifespan is reached, or erasing their memories and then Reincarnation...
Why?
Because the civilizations counted by [Adrian Academy] are often those that have stepped out of their own world and onto the World Cluster stage.
Civilizations that have the ability to construct immortal societies, and that immediately attempt to do so as soon as they have the ability, often fail to transcend their own world and perish during their development.
The "charm moment" in statistics is a form of survivorship bias.
The masters of a civilization can be immortal beings, but the higher-ups of a civilization cannot all be immortal beings.
You cannot expect the New Life generation of young people to endure a perpetual state of being at the bottom, nor can you expect the immortals at the top to relinquish their rights and social resources to the newcomers.
A stagnant population is often a burden to a progressing civilization, a point that needs no further explanation.
The only Future for an immortal society in a closed environment is when individuals lose everything except their lifespan.
It seems that [Eternal Paradise] is indeed a dead society...
While witnessing the luxury and power of the new world, and pondering the society and thought of advanced civilizations, Su Luo enjoyed a Perfect breakfast.
Wang Fujian naturally helped Su Luo pay for the meal.
So what exactly are the projects our research group has?
Su Luo took the initiative to ask.
After we'd eaten and drunk our fill, it was time to get down to business.
This meeting was originally a report meeting for the "[Nancun Groupmates Praise My Potency Research Group]", so Su Luo first wanted to understand what the nine Laboratories did.
"Five of them, including Cameron's, are actually on the Mana Side. The three Laboratory are all about the fusion after we stripped the template, one is related to elements, and one is a relatively remote Path."
"Three of them are on the martial arts path: [Martial Arts - Supreme Will Path], [Martial Arts - Ultimate Physical Path], and then there's a laboratory for fusion..."
"The last Laboratory is the final fusion."
After listening, the people in charge began to report on the progress of each Laboratory, while Su Luo fell into deep thought.
Judging from the distribution of Laboratories, they actually wanted to create a Perfect Body Foundation Advancement method that takes into account both Mana Side and Martial Dao aspects.
The foundation laid in this way is incredibly deep and terrifying.
But this doesn't really concern Su Luo, right? A pure Body Foundation Advancement.
All their efforts were merely a clumsy imitation of the Body Foundation Advancement.
However, this meant that Su Luo could only obtain resources related to the [Mana—Elemental Orthodox Path] and some Demigod sample data from the Mana Side within this research group.
What about resources for [Cultivation-Enlightenment Path], [Cultivation-Merit and Karma Path], [Faith-New God Path], [Martial Dao—Resonance Path]...?
Looks like I have no choice but to flee.
"Is that all you have? Don't you have any other extraordinary paths? Like cultivation or religious beliefs, for example..."
Su Luo quietly asked Wang Fujian.
"No, but... I know a research group that does that. Maybe you can look into it after you're done with your work." Wang Fujian suddenly had a bad feeling.
What's the name of that research group?
"[Nancun Groupmates Bully My Weak Chicken Research Group]."
"..."
Su Luo was speechless at the name.
The names of these research groups are so strange.
The strongest unity of purpose is etched in the name of our research group!
"If I'm not mistaken, the person in charge of this research group is also the mother of the vice dean next door, right?"
"Yes, yes." Wang Fujian confirmed Su Luo's guess.
"Why are all your research groups under the supervision of the vice dean's mother? Especially the vice dean next door!"
"Yes, that's right." Wang Fujian said with a matter-of-fact expression.
"What, do you also want to be the vice president's mother?"
