"Teacher Song, the examples you gave are terrifying, and they're quite different from the knowledge I usually read in books." Durian felt deeply uneasy. "They didn't kill people because they needed them to repair the power plant. Once the plant was fixed and the people were no longer useful, they killed them immediately. I understand the logic, but it's too cruel."
"Academic books will give you refined, scholarly terms, but the logic of the real world is often barbaric and brutal." Song He paused. "The law of the jungle has never receded. The world keeps sliding toward the survival of the fittest. War and preparations for war run throughout human history. Of course, the period of preparing for war also has a pleasant name: peacetime."
"I hope... Red-haired Gorilla can build cities and live a prosperous life." Durian asked hesitantly, "But after Red-haired Gorilla builds a city, will that bring out humanity's beastly nature and trigger a war?"
"No, provided that Red-haired Gorilla doesn't display strong hostility toward humanity. For example, if they eagerly tried to kill some humans and seize their territory, that would inevitably trigger a war," Song He said.
"I understand. Earth is already filled with humans, so Red-haired Gorilla can't establish their own country. They can only try to integrate into human society." Durian nodded. "But the law of the jungle makes me uneasy. If Red-haired Gorilla becomes wealthy, will humans think that killing them would let them plunder a great deal of wealth?"
"Gain social status through legitimate means and actively contribute to society, and you'll be safe," Song He said. "Ultimately, it comes down to two words: work! Enter every line of work and create value for human society."
"I understand now." Durian nodded. "Create value for humans and don't cause trouble for them."
