Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 900 - 253: Real-World Problems, I Am the Nutrient (Requesting Monthly Tickets)
The origin was a player’s posted content.
Working Warrior:
After reading the post, what I want to say is that the launch of this game pod has me a bit worried.
Our disconnection from the real world is getting increasingly serious.
All production factories for daily necessities are operated by AI robots, and the members of various clans don’t even have to take on the roles of assembly line workers.
For example, food production is entirely handled by robot farms, even the restaurant industry is gradually being replaced by robots. Everything is highly automated, leaving no meaningful real economy.
Now we are becoming more and more dependent on the Virtual World, and if this continues, the real world will soon lose its meaning.
I had a conjecture because of this.
This is a conspiracy of the Moon Eclipse Clan, who bind us through virtual games to ultimately take absolute control of the real world effortlessly.
What a vicious plot, everyone quickly sell your sacrificial power and return to reality, don’t let the Upper Realm Beings succeed.
Flying Cat replies to Working Warrior: You’re only realizing this problem now? It was intensely debated on the network decades ago about the impact of high-degree intelligence in society. In fact, the Moon Eclipse Clan wants to control Earth, it’s not as difficult as you think. Don’t forget, the Intelligent Brain of each tribe’s city is managed by the Star Network, which can return you to the primitive society in minutes. I suspect you just want to stir panic and then collect sacrificial power heavily (laughing.jpg).
Drunk Old Man replies to Working Warrior: The concerns you have were already worrying the older generations for a long time. The problems of the real world are not something unknown to you, various pollution, occasional descending invasion crises, like a mess, spending a long time in virtual games is the inevitable trend of the future, nothing to worry about.
Dark Night Will Come replies to Working Warrior:
Your worry is not without reason; this is the concern that inevitably arises with every era of progress among contemporary people.
Actually, every technological revolution is seen as a monster.
Looking through history, there are so many similar cases.
For example, in the 19th century, when trains were invented, there was a societal worry that the speed of trains would shatter human internal organs, and even disrupt social morals (due to mixed seating of males and females in compartments).
And what happened? Trains became the foundation of the next era’s transport.
Then in the 20th century, televisions were invented, and many intellectuals harshly criticized television for making people stupid and estranging family relationships, but from our era’s viewpoint, when we look at that historical stage, television only seems like basic entertainment, and these worries are meaningless.
The most typical invention of the 21st century must be the smartphone.
Early discussions believed smartphones would destroy face-to-face social interaction, yet they became the core tool of socializing, only the form changed.
Even so, there are still many voices criticizing smartphones.
The situation back then is actually somewhat similar to now.
Imagine the scene back then, the alarm ringing in the morning, ancestors’ fingers instinctively swiping open phone lock screens, using phone stands to play short videos while brushing teeth, racing to wipe off foam dripping onto screens, even couples actively checking phone content during dates.
Smartphone use occupied most of the ancestors’ time outside of sleep.
Back then, the elderly were most puzzled by why the whole family sat in the living room smiling at variously sized phone screens with much less direct communication; this device so disruptive to era development really left them feeling confused and unwilling to understand.
Even street beggars updated their equipment, with QR code signs replacing broken bowls.
But the worries of that time clearly seem meaningless to our generation.
Switching viewpoint to the modern day, the Virtual World is the era we’re in, the next stop in technology development.
Just like ancestors adapting to trains, televisions, smartphones, we will also adapt to the Virtual World becoming part of life, even a major part.
Besides, upstairs is quite right, real-world pollution and resource crises won’t disappear.
Calls to return to reality are essentially nostalgia-driven panic, growing older increases this kind of concern.
Like how the previous generation mourned the era without smartphones, but the next generation never truly wants to return to that time without phones.
I think Old Moon’s plan is more about making the real world more manageable, reducing the hassle of our activities during environmental optimization (just a personal opinion, no flaming).
Final summary: Technological progress is like 19th-century coachmen cursing the birth of the train, but iron tracks eventually extended towards the future.
Technical fear is cyclical, but progress is irreversible.
Like humans going from horseback riding to high-speed rail travel, from writing letters to sending texts and scrolling short videos, it’s just another lifestyle upgrade.
Most importantly, dude, you really don’t want to oppose virtual games.
Just clicked your homepage, found your homepage says: Buying sacrificial power at a high price.
Kid, you’re up to no good, I suggest the Moon Eclipse Clan permanently ban your account for disturbing forum order (laughing.jpg).

After reading the content in the post, Qi Sheng doesn’t find it strange at all.
The Moon Eclipse Clan has always been under the guidance’s surveillance.
The early launch of the game pod this time is naturally not for the sake of players, but to please him.
The longer players stay in Monster World, the faster their power grows.
The subsequent launch of optimized nutritional supplements is for the same purpose.
