"Today’s story was just like that."

Wang Hao was very satisfied with this new game.

Because it was easy to play and felt like leisure and entertainment.

It wasn’t as bitter and cautious as in the past, where one would easily flip between life and death.

Even from Fu Liaoyi’s perspective, there was a strange feeling of embodying a minotaur, which was quite exciting!

"Hey, are you not getting involved in those big events to save humanity anymore? Interest in playing the benevolent uncle in games now? But it is indeed quite fun." Han Xiaoyue sat on the sofa, listening to him sharing today’s story, feeling somewhat astonished.

Because her cousin wasn’t usually interested in such matters.

He only liked grand narratives and seemed somewhat cold towards the micro level life-and-death situations.

In other words, Old Wang liked abstract groups and wasn’t fond of studying specific individuals.

But now, there had been a huge change in his interests.

He began to pay attention to specific people.

Was it the influence of the new Demon God; or perhaps this change in hobbies had given birth to a brand new Demon God.

"How did I become an ’old uncle’? I have no interest in those shows at all!"

"I was just looking at the news about ’charging forward for love’ warriors, and I deeply sympathize with such people. So in the game, I’m content just awakening a follower."

It seemed to be the latter, the cousin had indeed changed his interests.

Xiaoyue tilted her head, pondering something.

Maybe this was a good thing?

Wang Hao also sat on the sofa, playing a battle royale game, remarking, "Young people always think that love is the most intense emotion in the world. They think without love, there’s no joy in the world, but such thoughts are really naïve."

"What is the most intense emotion then?"

"Of course...it’s saving humanity, or rather, striving for some more meaningful cause. That’s an emotion beyond mere animalistic pleasures."

Old Wang covered his face, considering that he’d still end up playing games about saving humanity, and felt overwhelmed.

But he had to admit that compared to the grand narrative of "saving humanity", personal desires were mere trifles, providing very limited inspiration.

"Yet, for most people, saving humanity is too remote, so just focusing on the little things right in front of us is also a fault..."

"With the continuous development of capitalism, the family system centered on marriage is bound to collapse sooner or later."

Han Xiaoyue’s eyes widened as she smiled.

She loved seeing her cousin talking seriously about grand narratives.

"Why would the marriage system collapse?"

"Because humanity is being eroded by capital. People’s thought processes have been alienated by capital, no longer cherishing the so-called dedication, but becoming more inclined to calculate visible gains and losses. People who are selfless get instinctively disadvantaged in this environment."

"Therefore, on the partner choice level, men will gradually lean towards a renting system rather than a one-time purchase. Think about it, marriage is so much trouble, with houses and cars involved, the cost is simply too high."

"But there are girls who don’t want houses or cars, right?"

Wang Hao said, "Of course, there are always people who defy norms in any era, but that won’t change the trend of the times."

"In conclusion, not getting married but cohabiting will become the mainstream in the future."

"In many Western countries, this kind of living has already become popular, and I think it will spread here sooner or later, maybe in three to five years, or a decade at most. Especially with the approaching economic crisis, it will greatly accelerate this rental trend."

"And the government is a major promoter of this. The current marriage system is highly tied to real estate, and marriage is one of the few legal means for most people to satisfy sexual needs. The cost of land and housing is highly correlated with the cost of sex. As the cost rises, the marriage system collapses more rapidly, and birth rates plummet."

Wang Hao sighed, "All in all, having someone who can empathize and accompany you for a long time is still very precious. That’s something I do believe in."

Talking about the future direction of human development, Xiaoyue felt somewhat disenchanted.

It’s not that she lacked conversational interest, but she felt that reality was far from Utopia, and it was better just to get by, without dreaming too much about poetry and the beyond.

"Will humanity stop advancing because of this?"

"Of course not, humanity won’t become extinct because of such things." Wang Hao pondered momentarily and optimistically said, "From a population level, even if over 95% of the population dies, humanity won’t go extinct, it might even bring a revolutionary change."

"I heard that Japan’s birth rate has improved."

"On an individual level, there will always be extraordinary heroes who refuse to sink and desire to make a change..."

"If they want help, my new ’Desire’ shop could give a little push..."

Wait a second, how did it turn into a topic of saving humanity again!

Old Wang quickly shifted the topic, after all, in the real world he didn’t possess the devastating powers he had in games, speaking too much would only make him look like an armchair strategist.

Even though Xiaoyue seemed very interested in chatting, he stopped anyway.

Xiaoyue smiled and said, "I see... So, what do you think the billionaire Hong Botao will do to solve Fu Liaoyi’s troubles?"

"Fu Liaoyi is probably very angry, in pain, hysterical."

Wang Hao analyzed, "From a capitalist utilitarian perspective, Hong Botao will find Fu Liaoyi one or more beautiful women, simply using money to buy a few girls, which is the simplest way. And the money spent won’t be much, at least for a billionaire, it’s just a trivial expense."

"Finding a new love is the simplest or a vengeful, soul-soothing plan."

"Fancy getting a prettier and more understanding girl to flaunt in front of the ex, wouldn’t that be great?"

"Huh?" This method was too crude, leaving Han Xiaoyue dumbfounded.

She protested a bit unwillingly, "I think... I think... Hong Botao might arrange for him to go to a university, go abroad or something, to see a broader world, and then he would forget about this incident."

Wang Hao couldn’t help but laugh, his cousin was still too naïve, thinking it was like a TV drama!

"Hahaha, you’re dreaming! If you don’t believe me, how about we make a bet?"
