After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS
Chapter 655 408: Human FlawsSu Mo returned to Edge Mansion and came to the rooftop, gazing at the moonlight from there.
Snow began to fall in the second half of the night. The moon still hung high between the gaps in the snow clouds, casting a faint silver glow. The snowflakes swayed down from the sky, refracting the moonlight into tiny points of light, as if countless stars were twinkling.
New Moon City was very quiet at night, everything seemingly plunged into sleep. The high-rise buildings loomed indistinctly through the curtain of snow, and only the gentle sound of falling snowflakes could be heard around, subtle and soft, as if whispering the unique tranquility of a winter night.
Snowflakes continuously fell on Su Mo, melting into tiny droplets with his body heat. He exhaled lightly, and a white mist condensed in front, gleaming under the moonlight, then was blown away by the cold wind, quickly dissipating.
He just stood there gazing into the distant, hazy city, watching the threads of light diffuse a soft glow through the snow curtain, as he quietly waited for something.
"Tap, tap, tap..." At this moment, footsteps echoed behind him.
It was a young girl who seemed to have stepped out of a fairy tale, appearing to be about ten years old. Her long black hair cascaded down like ink, resting on her shoulders. The moonlight illuminated her fair face, which seemed sculpted from the finest porcelain, flawless in its transparency.
Her obsidian-like big eyes were incredibly clear and pure, but not filled with the naive innocence typical of children. Those eyes held the purity expected of her age, yet also seemed to have witnessed countless life events, complex and intricate, presenting a beauty impossible to find in humans.
Su Mo greeted the little girl warmly, "Mo Tong."
"Daddy, you're back." Su Motong bounced over and sat beside Su Mo, "Mom said you were looking for me?"
Su Mo smiled and said, "Uh-huh, it's been awhile since we last chatted."
Su Motong blinked, "What does Daddy want to talk about?"
Su Mo looked up and murmured, "Yes, what to talk about... Your mind already contains all the knowledge from the 'Human Document,' truly understanding everything. In front of you, I'm just an ignorant little student..."
"Why not talk about Constructs then? You are familiar with Constructs and humans. In your view, what's the biggest difference between these two civilizations?"
Su Motong slowly replied, "The biggest difference is definitely the social structure."
"Constructs are a species built on a hive mind collective consciousness. Aside from 'Queen Bees' like me and the highest-level 'Main Brain', other 'Worker Bees' lack independent consciousness and only act according to commands."
"In a sense, Construct civilization is very simple. The Main Brain and Queen Bees dominate everything; their thoughts are directly converted into actions, eliminating any deceit."
"Humans are much more complex. Regardless of status, be it rulers or vagabonds, everyone has completely independent consciousness, capable of developing new ideas at any time."
"When I first came into contact with the Human Document, I found it incredible how a species where every individual thinks differently could integrate and develop into a brilliant collective civilization; it's a miracle."
Su Mo nodded and continued to ask, "In your view, from the perspective of species and civilization, which is superior, Constructs or humans?"
Su Motong replied without hesitation, "Each has its strengths and weaknesses. From a purely biological perspective, Constructs are superior."
"Constructs have robust inorganic bodies, almost devoid of physiological weaknesses. Even the lowest-grade Construct possesses bodily capabilities several times beyond the strongest ordinary humans."
"But Constructs have a problem. Since Worker Bees lack individual thought, they do not think, meaning the entire species naturally lacks the concept of 'intelligence'."
"Though the Main Brain and Queen Bees possess high intelligence, their thought process is linear, without any curves."
"From the Human Document, I learned that in the apocalypse war 156 years ago, humans with relatively weak hard power defeated Constructs by employing 'intelligence', using multi-dimensional thinking to defeat linear thinking."
"On the other hand, due to the lack of individual thought, Construct civilization has only two elements—survival and expansion. All actions serve these two purposes."
"Apart from that, Construct civilization has no films, literature, art, or any humanistic beauty."
"In contrast, human civilization is much more brilliant, with various arts shining like stars in the night sky. When I first encountered the Human Document, I was profoundly fascinated by the 'beauty' created by humans."
Saying this, Su Motong smiled knowingly and looked deeply at Su Mo, "If I could choose, I would want to be human."
Hearing this, Su Mo also smiled. He ruffled her silky black hair and embraced Mo Tong, together enjoying the moon of a late winter night.
By now, some snow had already accumulated around, and the moonlight reflected on the snow, forming a soft halo. Su Mo looked at the moonlight overhead and softly asked, "Mo Tong, why do you think in human history there's a phenomenon of governmental rise and fall, a cycle of chaos and order?"
"Looking at all governments so far, they all started prosperous and flourishing but after some time fell into decline, ultimately destroyed, then a new government rose from the ruins to experience this cycle anew... why is this?"
Su Motong was about to give an answer but then spent some time thinking.
Perhaps finding a direct explanation not intuitive enough, she ran back to her room to fetch a box of building blocks she used to play with as a child.
