Chapter 377 Declaration of War
"So, this thing can not only purify the air, but also provide cotton spinning, sugar production, fuel, fertilizer, and food... Tell me honestly... What is this?"
Ms. Cassandra tried hard not to look like she was questioning what Li Ke said, but her expression and emotions clearly showed that she was questioning it.
Li Ke took out a magic crystal and placed it in front of her, along with a handful of wheat ears.
"Video."
So, another person who doubts whether the world is the real world appears.
After reading it, Ms. Cassandra was silent for a while, then looked at Li Ke.
"Where would you like to be crowned? Also, are you interested in marrying my daughter? If that's not possible, I can still do it."
She said without any concealment what came to her mind first, causing the secretary beside her to show a look of horror on her face.
"Wake up, please..."
Li Ke took a deep breath. He could see clearly that Ms. Cassandra's eyes had lost focus and what she was saying now was basically what she was saying in her sleep.
"No, no, no... You are the one who doesn't understand, okay? Do you know what this thing represents? This means that the situation in the entire world will change. Cold and hunger will leave this world forever. The war in the whole world will be temporarily stopped or completely erupt because of the appearance of this thing. The world's population will double or triple in two to three years. No, it may even destroy all the civilization we have now... Yes, we must never let this thing spread..."
Cassandra spoke countless words in one breath. She didn't understand why Li Ke could remain so calm. The thing in front of her was something that could definitely destroy the world.
"Mr. Li Ke, have you ever thought that if the seeds of this thing are allowed to spread into the wild, then within a few days, these crazy plants will directly grow everywhere you can see, and then completely destroy other plants!"
This is definitely not a good thing for human beings!
Even if humans can stop worrying about hunger forever because of this, this thing must never spread!
"Actually, you don't have to worry about that. In fact, even I find it scary that this thing won't grow without humans around, and it will quickly become inactive after shedding its shell."
Li Ke would naturally not have failed to think of this matter. There would be biological invasions on the original Earth, let alone this world. However, after some tests, he found that there was no need to worry about this at all.
Because if there is no human being within 50 meters of the wheat when watering, the wheat will not germinate, and there will be no such thing as the other party saying that humans will die.
Honestly, the more Li Ke studied this, the more creepy he felt.
Is this really something that humans can research?
“…”
Cassandra slumped down in the chair. She looked at the wheat ears on the table. Although the anxiety in her heart disappeared because of Li Ke's words, she couldn't help laughing.
"This is really... So, Master Li Ke, do you know that if this thing is not in the right hands, it can destroy the existing human civilization?"
Plenty of food means only one thing: people won't have to work particularly hard to survive.
"Humans are not as fragile as you say, Cassandra. Even if they can easily get enough food, they will still want to live a better life. Although this wheat is terrible, it only provides people with a minimum living allowance."
Being able to have enough food and clothing ensures the most basic living needs, but the rest is not something that can be controlled by such things.
Li Ke also sighed.
"But this will free too many people from labor. I ca n't imagine what these people with nothing to do will do. Those heavy and dangerous jobs must be paid at a higher price, but..."
When Cassandra thought about having to control all these troublesome things herself , she had the idea of tying Li Ke up at the shooting range in her home to practice shooting.
"Honestly, Your Majesty, please unify the world as soon as possible. This thing you brought out was created solely for ruling the world. Otherwise, please seek help from someone else. I don't want to die from overwork so early. This kind of thing is not something I can control alone."
Cassandra looked at Li Ke very seriously.
Things have come to this point, and it will be difficult for Li Ke to end up not becoming the emperor.
“I didn’t expect it to be this great.”
In Li Ke's estimation, this kind of wheat that matures in one hour will either cause huge damage to the earth or require a large amount of fertilizer or something.
But don't say anything and you can still make a living.
This really was beyond his imagination.
"You always make me break my mental state of never being surprised by anything you do again."
Cassandra took a deep breath.
"So, are you willing to be the master of this world? If you don't, I really can't think of anyone else who can take this position."
If Li Ke doesn't take that position, then as long as Li Ke still lives in this world, this thing will spread out. Then in the future, no matter which leader it is, they will be extremely wary of Li Ke.
Although it won't show on the surface, Li Ke will definitely not live comfortably in the future. And their followers will also be liquidated.
Therefore, in order to avoid such a thing from happening, Li Ke must become emperor.
"So if you don't do it, please let me go, or just destroy the wheat."
Cassandra forced the emperor to abdicate.
"I wanted to recite two lines of poetry, but then I thought better of it."
Li Ke took a deep breath.
To be honest, before getting this thing, he really didn't care whether he was an emperor or not. His sense of identification with this world was limited to the people around him.
But, as Cassandra thought, sometimes you can't just choose not to do something if you want to - it's not his character to watch others starve without spreading it.
If you want to spread it out, you must be prepared to become a leader, otherwise it would be irresponsible to yourself and the people around you.
"Prepare for war, Cassandra, starting with a trade war."
Li Ke pointed at Demacia and Noxus.
“Use a war of trade to make these two countries bleed dry, use food to make Freljord surrender, use money to make Bilgewater bend, let technology revolutionize Ionia , and let Runeterra fall at my feet… Let the whole world understand the importance of economy, culture, science, and the most important thing.”
Li Ke placed his hand on the map of the entire Rune Land.
“Times have changed!”
This is a declaration of war.
Announce to the world that he will fight an upright, unchallengeable and crushing battle!
