Sui Xiong had the qualifications to be proud. In a world where racial discrimination was prevalent, he had established a country that allowed all races to live in peace, get along with each other well. He had eliminated discrimination and hatred. This was a great achievement.

But he was not satisfied.

Before he had space traveled here, he had participated in a game design project where the theme was anti-racism. The player had played as a Native American in the game. The character had united with various natural souls and progressive forces from various nationalities to resist the brutal British invaders. They had maintained the vast land of North America and used spears and spells to reject the exploitation of “civilization.”

He had been one of the painters at that time, but he had also read the storyline. At the end of the second chapter of the plot, the character had raised the banner with his friends to establish the anti-British base. An article had been put there. Apparently, the article had been written by a talented person who was highly praised by a propaganda leader. There were no stories or references in it, no boring stereotypes, and no empty words. The simple and sincere words had touched the hearts of the people.

At that time, Sui Xiong and all the staff were also very touched. Everyone had been looking forward to the real launch of this game. They had been looking forward to the players’ reaction after seeing this scenario.

However, there was no gain without pain. When Sui Xiong had space traveled here, the game had still been stuck in the final review. The reason was that it “insinuated reality.” According to the opinions of the industry experts, it would be best to change the background to a different world.

Sui Xiong really came to a different world now. When he thought about how to deal with the problem of racial discrimination, he naturally thought of that article. He originally had some hesitations and considered whether he should respect the traditions of this world. After thinking of that article, he made up his mind.

A good tradition was a tradition, but a bad tradition was just a bad habit! When he had been on Earth, he had been a painter with no influence over world affairs. He couldn’t do anything about the many bad habits in the world. However, now he was one of the best masters among the gods. Why should he compromise? Why should he give in to bad habits?

Tradition! Go to Hell! I, Sui Xiong, don’t like you, so I’ll change you!

Therefore, he finally decided to abolish racial discrimination forcibly. He would complete this project even if he had to use his iron hands.

Now his efforts indeed gained some results. He established a country where, at least, there was no racial discrimination on the surface.

Then, in the next step, he would gradually expand his influence. He would try his best to make racism in this whole world become history. After thousands of years, when scholars saw this world, they would wonder why the ancients were so backward, ignorant and barbaric.

This was not an easy task. It would take a lot of time, and there would be a lot of resistance. However, Sui Xiong had a lot of time and strength. The key point was that he was not in a hurry, and he could take it slow. He could push forward little by little and spread civilization little by little. Even if it would take thousands of years, he could afford the wait.

The green floating jellyfish smiled and looked at the bustling registration crowd.

The number of people who signed up this time was bigger than any time in the past. As estimated, the “three free” policy, “free accommodation, free tuition, and free allocation,” attracted them.

“There were no good conditions like this before,” a half-elf said, laughing. He was sorting out the registration materials. “I remember in the first accounting course, the tuition fee was not expensive, and there were accommodation subsidies, but students still needed to spend some money.”

“Yeah, but a lot of people also came at that time, just a bit fewer than this time,” a staff member who had a lot of white hair said. “I remember that I was quite young at that time. Suddenly, I am so old now. Look at you, you are still young. The blood of elves is really good!”

“Not good! Your grandson is at school. I have been married for 30 years. I don’t even have a child yet!”

“There are no things that are best in both aspects in this world. You live a long life. You can always have a few children during your lifetime.”

“Thank you for your good words,” the half-elf said, smiling and nodding. He picked up the pile of sorted materials, walked around the corner along the gallery, and walked towards the distant data room.

Because he was turning back and speaking, he wasn’t looking where he was going. He bumped into a short Half-Orc.

The half-elf and the Half-Orc were not strong, so they both suffered pain. They stumbled backward and fell to the ground, the organized papers scattered in a mess around them.

“Sorry!” the short Half-Orc said. He had a strange pointed nose, and he was so scared that his face was pale. He hurriedly apologized, and his long ears swayed back and forth. It was really embarrassing.

“It’s not your fault. I wasn’t looking where I was going. I deserved that,” the half-elf said, smiling and shaking his head. After comforting the Half-Orc, he looked at the materials on the ground and sighed deeply.

“Old Dodin, sometimes I really miss the time when we adventured together!” the half-elf said. “Although we were poor and in danger, at least we didn’t have so much complicated work!”

His friend Dodin, the man with a lot of white hair, said with a smile, “At that time, we were worried because we didn’t have enough work. After finishing one meal, we had to think about how to get our next meal. We never thought that we would complain about too much work one day.”

The half-elf also smiled. He stood up and pulled up the Half-Orc who was still sitting on the ground. Then he was about to pick up the materials that had fallen on the ground, but he was suddenly stunned. He began to look at the Half-Orc with fixed eyes.

Dodin put his own things on the ground, and then bent over to help him pick up the materials. Seeing the half-elf in shock, Dodin curiously asked, “What happened? What’s wrong with this little guy? You know him?”

The half-elf shook his head, and then he asked, “What kind of Half-Orc are you? Half fox or rabbit?”

Dodin knew the half-elf’s meaning. He turned his head and saw that the little Half-Orc had rabbit’s ears, but he also had a fox’s pointed nose. His appearance was very weird.

“Hm? If you didn’t mention that, I wouldn’t have noticed!” Dodin said. He also curiously walked up to the Half-Orc and carefully looked at the nervous little guy. “Usually, the children of two different races will have clear racial tendencies. A marginal type between two races is rare. Even if there is such a type, they would normally be the children of two Orcs who have similar bloodlines. A fox and a rabbit... they are so different. They could also give birth to a marginal child? I have never heard of that.”

“It’s doesn’t matter whether you’ve never seen it or not. Seeing is believing, after all,” the half-elf said.

Hearing their words, the short Half-Orc was more nervous. He lowered his head, and his body was shivering.

“Oh! Do we scare you?” the half-elf asked. He was more sensitive, so he sensed his nervousness. The half-elf apologized hurriedly, “Sorry! But we don’t mean to harm you. We are just... a little surprised.”

“Yeah, we’re just surprised,” Dodin also hurriedly explained. “You don’t need to be nervous. In the Republic, no one will discriminate against you because of your appearance and race.”

“If someone dares to do that, you can report it to the people of the Church of Void Mask, the priests who have painted jellyfishes on their robes on the street,” the half-elf said. “They will give that person electroshock therapy. Not even his mother can recognize them after that!”

“Or he can’t even recognize his mother after the electric shocks,” Dodin said, joking. “The last time, I saw a guy bullying a gnome, and then he was given electroshock therapy in public. I saw blue and white electric lights lingering around on his body with a buzzing sound. Everyone was amazed. Some people even yelled, ‘He’s gone up to heaven.’”

The two cooperated with each other perfectly. They echoed each other just like a comic dialogue. Although it was not funny at all, it dispelled the fear of the short Half-Orc successfully. The Half-Orc finally laughed. action

“Thank you!” he said. He stood up and thanked the two people. “I’ve come to sign up for the technical school. Is this the right place?”

“Yes, you’re in the right place,” the half-elf said, nodding. He pointed to the corner and said, “Turn around this corner, you will see the recruitment table.”

“According to your stature though, I am afraid that you may fail,” Dodin said, shaking his head. “This time, we’re recruiting craftsmen and miners. This work needs strength. I am afraid you won’t be able to do it.”

“I can do it well!” the short Half-Orc said stubbornly. “Other people use 10% of their strength, but I will use 20% of my strength. Others work for an hour, and I will work for two hours. As long as I am diligent enough, I can always do something well.”

The two former adventurers looked at each other, and then they nodded and smiled.

“Little guy, what is your name?” Dodin asked. “Maybe after a few years, we will be colleagues.”

“Hopes,” the short Half-Orc replied. “My name is Hopes Wilder. Thank you for your guidance.”

He took brisk paces and quickly turned around the corner. Seeing him, Dodin said to himself, sighing, “Not many Half-Orcs have family names. What is the origin of this little guy?”

“It doesn’t matter what his origin is,” the half-elf who had once had a noble family name said with a smile. “In this country, what matters is not the past, but the future.”
