I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

The conch pointed to a small corner, "But after young love, many break up too."

There was a boy wiping his tears next to a trash can.

In the trash can, there was also a small cake...

"It's normal, human interactions aren't simple matters." Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire

"The school is a small society, I guess." Lu Yuan sighed.

Humans were not inherently long-lived creatures; in ancient times, they were considered ready for natural selection by the age of thirty.

This led to a particularly strong reproductive desire in humans during adolescence, in their teens.

After thirty, human reproductive desire gradually declined.

This meant that human love patterns were unstable; with ever-increasing lifespans today, occurrences of infatuation with novelty, straddling two boats, and divorces were commonplace.

On the contrary, because Green Grass People inherently have long lifespans, reaching adulthood at one hundred, their genes naturally seek stability. Getting married for them is akin to binding for life, making their divorce rate very low.

Hence in Green Grass culture, there is an overwhelming number of works glorifying the sanctity of love!

Some people are even willing to be martyrs for their loved ones!

Thus, while humans think such literary works are cheesy, Green Grass People truly feel that way...

The difference in basic reproductive mechanisms results in nearly identical social welfare systems but breeds two different kinds of people.

In Green Grass Civilization, the children who fall in love early are actually very few, and most people grow up slowly.

But humans grow up quickly, and there are more conflicts and issues than with Green Grass People.

Lu Yuan couldn't change all this, so he just let it be. As long as the children respected and loved themselves, a few failed relationships didn't matter...

After all, he himself had a Green Grass girl, with a stable relationship, so he didn't have to worry about breakup issues and was always immensely happy.

"Look at the turtle~"

"Wagaga!"

Not far away, there were over a hundred acres of farmland, the green leaves fluttering in the wind.

The Undying Giant Turtle and Old Wolf were the captains of the farming team.

This was a labor practice class, and every child had to participate from a young age—living aloof from worldly affairs wasn't really a good thing.

A turtle capable of plowing, though looking dopey, was actually quite skilled at farming.

And Old Wolf was in charge of guarding the vegetable garden.

Plus, with its presence in the virtual world, having grown up with the children from a young age, they were quite fond of it.

Apparently sensing its master's presence, Old Wolf wagged its butt at Lu Yuan, its tail nearly reaching the sky in excitement.

Next to it were several female wolves, oh, no, female dogs.

"Don't come over, go play by yourself!" Lu Yuan waved his hand and stealthily tossed a honey egg bun.

"Awo?" Old Wolf caught it quickly, relishing the familiar taste.

Further east, five hundred meters away in a warehouse, there was an Insect Race creature named "Gold Eating Insect," stationary in its position.

Its function was to devour metallic ores and smelt them into finished products.

Occasionally, it might also produce a small amount of Extraordinary Elements.

Initially, the sight of this creature made all the children cry, but they gradually got used to it.

This valuable treasure was treated as a VIP in any civilization.

It was assigned by Lu Yuan to this location to produce some consumables and to let the children get acquainted with Insect Technology from a young age.

Four hundred meters to the north, there was a large Engraving display center, showcasing "Solid Rune," "Temperature Control Rune," "Energy Storage Circuit," among others.

From a young age, everyone was immersed in this environment.

Oh, right, there's also the "Spirit Word," a recent research achievement that can slowly heat, discharge, and make ice, among other things.

Engraving technology is also a major research focus currently, requiring only a small population of elites for thriving development of this Mind Science.

These achievements can indeed replace technological products to a certain extent.

The only trouble with Mind-created items is that they can't be mass-produced and are a bit costly.

But if the population knowledgeable in engraving is large enough, the costs can actually be reduced...

Even more distant places were the various cultivation halls, equipped with all sorts of gym equipment and martial arts training, anything you could think of.

There were also several Extraordinary Plants brought from the Empire placed nearby, a total of seven Extraordinary Plants, three of which could provide Extraordinary Fruit. The other four possessed medicinal value, or could slightly increase the cultivation speed of nearby people, or provide something like Life Essence. Anyway, all were quite useful.

Theoretically, elevating the Extraordinary Spark to Level 3 would meet the twelve Points of God standard required to study engravings.

Of course, the current supply of Extraordinary Resources was still not abundant, and only about a dozen children had reached the Level 3 standard.

Most of the children were still at the Level 2 standard. (That was the Attribute Lu Yuan had when he fought the mother bear.)

...

After taking this tour, Lu Yuan indeed felt a tremendous sense of accomplishment.

The joy of building a world was truly indescribable, something you could only understand, not convey.

Twenty-four years had not been easy.

Looking back now, it felt like a dream, bitter first and then sweet.

Before kindergarten was a phase where he needed to record large amounts of data, almost working continuously, which was incredibly hard.

From elementary to middle school was another new phase, the small family system of six people per group sounded beautiful, but in reality, it involved a lot of details.

After all, each child had their own personality; good and evil naturally existed, and bullying incidents occasionally occurred, which needed to be corrected.

Lu Yuan had killed countless brain cells to create the situation as it was now.

In this system, when the children started their lives in society, they still had brothers and sisters.

Although siblings might grow apart and embark on new paths in life, the time spent together during childhood was most unforgettable, and this bond of kinship was hard to sever.

In a future where the marriage rate was increasingly low, having a few relatives was quite good.

This was the best system Lu Yuan could think of.

...

...

"Ding-a-ling!"

A piercing bell rang, breaking Lu Yuan out of his reverie.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the graduation ceremony... officially began!

The principal of the Green Grass School, the head of the education group, and the old comrade Sha Sanli, delivered important speeches.

In the education industry, relying merely on "love" obviously wasn't enough; it also required "evil," "criticism," "authority," and "pressure"!

Old comrade Sha Sanli, with his notorious reputation that could stop babies from crying at night, was feared by every child, and his authority was maxed out.

"Hello, students. Silence!!"

The crowd immediately quieted down.

The old man adjusted the tie on his chest and cleared his throat.

The years of hard work had aged him considerably, with all the hair at his temples turned white.

Being already old and trying to keep up with the times had also taken a lot of effort.

Actually, as a Conservative, Sha Sanli still couldn't understand this bizarre education system, nor the thoughts of these children, but with a bigger deity presiding over the school, he was just a nominal principal whose job was merely to scold people.

Busy as he was, he still found joy in it.

After over twenty years together, he indeed felt a bond.

Sha Sanli pulled out a piece of yellow paper and read from his notes, "Students, our first batch of graduates, 2,253 in number, are about to enter society and strive for human civilization!"

"Human civilization is a vast concept. It is you, it is me, it is all of us together."

"Each person's actions, whether good or evil, whether it is active labor or crime, are all parts of human civilization."

"If good outweighs evil, then humans will gradually progress and become slightly better."

"If evil outweighs good, humans will continually collapse, cease progressing, and even regress."

"Of course, as the principal, I actually don't ask much of you; just that you find jobs you love and contribute to society, that would be enough."

"All we can do is our own duty."

"Being renowned through history might indeed be glorious, but being ordinary is the common state."
