I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1143 - 1050: Upper and Lower Limits (Part 3)

After briefly explaining the origin of these booklets and initially proving their reliability, Leon turned to the bewildered board members and explained:

"According to the findings of the Fourth Research Institute of the Kingdom of Lutung, although the maximum lifespan of humans today is as high as one hundred and fifty years, very few actually reach this limit. Excluding the exceptions like the Cleaners, our current average human lifespan is actually only sixty-one point nine years."

"What?"

"How much?!"

"That's impossible!!!"

"It's not about possibility; it's the specific data from the investigation."

After glancing at Mr. Scorpio, who looked as if his eyes were about to pop out, Leon patiently explained:

"This data is derived from all publicly available records, cemeteries, annals... and undisclosed data on military personnel, land and property, and industrial scale from various kingdoms and city-states, calculated by Atifie... by the supercomputer of the Kingdom of Crolock.

Even if due to practical reasons and statistical errors, the data can't be a hundred percent accurate and only gives an approximate value, the negative error will definitely not exceed two years."

"Negative error is..."

"It means calculating on the lower side."

It's sixty-one point nine, and still calculating two years lower? Not even sixty? Not even half of a hundred and fifty???

"That's impossible! There's no way!"

Mr. Scorpio jumped from his chair, looking somewhat annoyed and shouting:

"Isn't the limit supposed to be one hundred and fifty? How can it be so low?"

"Mr. Scorpio, as noted in the booklet I sent you, the fact that we even have this number is due to a few long-lived kingdoms artificially boosting it with their inherent advantages."

Flipping to the third page of the booklet in front of Mr. Scorpio and pointing to the chart, Leon explained seriously:

"The citizens of the Witch Kingdom generally have a bit of the great courtyard bloodline, with naturally stronger bodies, and the ruling kingdoms being various societies that prioritize wealth and power less, combined with an excellent natural environment, once had an average lifespan close to ninety years.

As for the Kingdom of Orleson, which is renowned as the Greenery Nation, it is the largest grain producer among the eleven kingdoms. Even though the royal family of Orleson is quite inhuman, the land there is so fertile that just throwing some seeds yields a harvest, so despite harsh living conditions, the average lifespan is not bad.

The same goes for the Medicine Country Perdi and the Western Carlay Wen Kingdom, where laws on the noble class are relatively strict; these countries have certain characteristics or advantages that result in an average lifespan higher than the norm."

"Then how come..."

"Because the rest really don't count as human."

Pointing to the lowest bars on the chart, Leon spoke expressionlessly:

"The Thousand Sails Maritime Country, which survives entirely through plundering, frequently erupts into localized wars, resulting in an average lifespan of about forty, with men's lifespan even lower than thirty-two, and they're still desperately dragging others' limits down.

And as for the former Kingdom of Lutung, aside from numerous factories, it still retains many noble plantations and manors, where workers and farmers typically work over thirteen hours Daily. Due to overwork and diseases caused by overwork, the average life span barely hits the fifty-year mark.

The Ice Plains Nation's inclusion here is a bit unfair, as their issues lie in massive natural disasters, shortages of food, medicine, and industrial goods, plus an extremely high infant mortality rate under harsh cold weather..."

Taking out a board from the mirrored world and placing it on the table, drawing and writing with a charcoal pen, Leon, after educating the bewildered board members about which of the eleven kingdoms in the current world are to blame, seriously said:

"Everyone, if we can retrieve our 'lifespan' and raise the human lifespan limit to two hundred years, it would certainly be a great thing. But before that, we might first have to do some more fundamental work, like... raising the average lifespan to half of the limit?"
