Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 778: Record My Life

Moir was brought by several fierce-looking burly men into a dim room. One of the burly men even kicked the beggar missing a limb and said viciously, “Old dog, you did well today. This bit is your reward.” The beggar accepted the thing with a timid face and began to wolf it down.

Moir naturally understood what he had run into. That beggar was bait these guys put outside, and he was the stupid fish that had bitten.

More than ten minutes later, touching the pocket that had originally been thin but still had a little something, and was now completely empty, Moir walked out of this place with a bitter smile.

The next day, Moir passed this place again and again saw that beggar. This time, the beggar’s condition seemed even worse than yesterday. Moir could almost be certain that since he left yesterday, this beggar had not eaten anything else. Moir sighed, grabbed a handful of dirt and smeared it messily across his face a few times, then walked there again.

“Old dog, this is your reward.” A portion of crude food was thrown in front of the beggar once more.

A moment later, an even angrier voice came from inside the room, “You dare give alms to a beggar without money? Brothers, beat him!”

A burly man rushed out and happened to see the beggar stuff the last bite of food into his mouth. So he could only kick the beggar unwillingly, “Old dog, you eat so fast!” 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Moir came out of the room with a bruised and swollen face. When he passed by the beggar, the beggar said in a low voice, “I harmed you. Why are you still helping me?”

Moir froze slightly. Then he put on a smile. His steps did not stop, and he did not turn his head. He only said in a gentle voice, “When you see someone in trouble, you should lend a hand. Isn’t that the basic principle of our civilization?”

After Moir left, the beggar suddenly sprawled on the ground and began to sob.

The weary figure of the Pegasus Civilization leader appeared before Xiao Yu once again. It seemed that each time the Pegasus Civilization leader appeared before Xiao Yu, he was more haggard and more tired than the last time Xiao Yu saw him. So Xiao Yu immediately knew that the situation still had not improved. About this, Xiao Yu did not know what to say. He could only sigh softly. “My friend, you need a healthy body to have more energy to solve these matters. Accept my help. My biological technology is far more advanced than your Pegasus Civilization’s. I can make you return to youth at any time.”

The Pegasus Civilization leader shook his head firmly. “If only I accept your biological technology modification, wouldn’t that mean I’m taking the lead in practicing an unfair civilizational policy? That will ignite even more anger within the civilization. And for our entire Pegasus Civilization people to accept biological technology modification, it is not suitable yet.”

“I can secretly modify your body, letting you still maintain your current appearance on the surface…” Xiao Yu said.

“No. My moral principles require that I cannot do that.” The Pegasus Civilization leader shook his head even more firmly. “If even the highest leader of a civilization abandons persistence in the civilization’s spirit, then what meaning does this spirit have to exist? Wouldn’t it become nothing but a complete ornament?”

Xiao Yu sighed, not knowing what to say.

The Ursa Major Dwarf Galaxy was only about one hundred thousand light years away from the Milky Way Galaxy. At Xiao Yu’s current speed, it would take only about less than seven hundred years to arrive. Time passed bit by bit. The Pegasus Civilization still did not improve, and the leader still grew more haggard little by little.

Mars, under the combined efforts of Xiao Yu and the Arrow Beasts, had completely become a green planet. A dense, warm atmosphere covered the planet. The appropriately distant Sun provided Mars with warm but not scorching sunlight. The tilt of its rotation axis brought Mars seasonal changes throughout the year. High mountains, canyons, rivers, and seas, all of this provided Mars with excellent carriers for ecological cycling, letting Mars thrive, filled with life everywhere.

The Arrow Beasts had already regarded Mars as their second homeland. Xiao Yu’s small universe was very quiet. Out of trust in Xiao Yu, the Arrow Beasts could live peacefully here, without worrying that one day they would suffer invasion by outsiders.

Xiao Yu at this moment had also fully returned to the technological level of his peak era. The quality of his industrial facilities was sufficient, only the quantity was still lacking, so at this moment Xiao Yu could only build Planet-Class warships and could not manufacture Star-Class warships. But it did not matter. The construction dock for Star-Class warships was already in planning. It was estimated that by the time they reached the Ursa Major Dwarf Galaxy, Star-Class warship construction could officially begin.

Xiao Yu was recovering his strength bit by bit.

The Earth Planet-Class warship had already been completed. Xiao Yu smoothly relocated from the Asia spaceship into the Earth warship. Xiao Yu now possessed over thirty million warships of various types, and this number was still increasing rapidly.

Five hundred years had passed. There were less than two hundred years left until arrival at the destination.

“I wonder how the Divine Ark Civilization has developed by now.” Xiao Yu thought somewhat gloomily. “Perhaps I don’t need to worry about them. It should be them worrying about me instead. When I left, I left everything to them, technology, resources, industrial foundations, everything. And there are outstanding scientists like Ares, Ruto, Luka Three, Luka Four, and so on, and well-functioning Social Committee and Military Committee. They shouldn’t have any problems. The Sweepers Civilization probably doesn’t have the strength to harass the Divine Ark Civilization right now. In fact, whether they can even find the Divine Ark Civilization is a question…”

“I hope we still have a day when we meet again.” Xiao Yu silently thought.

In the small universe: Xiao Yu, the Arrow Beasts, and the Pegasus Civilization, three existences, each had their own different thoughts. Xiao Yu was worrying about his future. The Arrow Beasts were carefree, enjoying life. The Pegasus Civilization was declining more and more by the day.

After several hundred years, Moir had aged from the young man he once was into an elderly person. Although after the collapse of civilization, biological modification that had originally been social welfare had now become the exclusive right of privileged classes, under normal circumstances, the lowest common people would still have a lifespan close to two thousand years. Moir should not have aged so much. Only Moir himself knew that because he had suffered too much hardship and experienced too much coldness, he had aged early.

But the gentle smile on Moir’s face had never changed. In such an absurd society, he had never changed his original intention. He did his utmost to help anyone who needed help without ever calculating his own gains or losses. Again and again he was deceived, beaten, and harmed. The worst time, he even nearly lost his life. One of his legs was also crippled in a deception. Although back then he had already scraped together enough money to go to the hospital for surgery, and with the current medical level his leg had a great chance of being saved, before he reached the hospital, when he saw a little girl about to die because she had no money for treatment, he did not hesitate and took out the money meant to treat his leg, giving it to the little girl.

That little girl ultimately lived, but his leg was crippled. When he dragged his crippled leg and carried gifts to visit this little girl, the little girl’s family thought he had come to demand that money back, so they beat him hard and drove him out again. The little girl’s father even threatened that he did not know this cripple at all, and if this cripple dared come again, he would break Moir’s other leg too.

Moir could only leave the hospital.

A stranger walked over and asked, “Moir, do you regret it?”

Moir smiled and said, “Why should I regret it? Back then I gave them my money because I hoped that little girl could live. Now that little girl has recovered her health, I should feel happy instead.”

The stranger sighed and left.

Moir had no money left. The gift for the little girl had used up his last bit of money. He had no food to eat, he was very hungry. He had no complete clothes to wear, he was very cold. He had nowhere to rest, nowhere to sleep.

In the end, he found an abandoned house and sat down there. The crippled leg once again sent piercing pain. He knew the wound had become infected again, and he also knew that he probably would not live much longer.

“Fool Moir. You spent your whole life helping people, yet you never received any return. Now you’re about to die, yet you can’t even drink a mouthful of hot water. There’s no one by your side to accompany you or care for you. Do you regret it?” The stranger appeared again, standing before Moir and asking.

“No. I don’t regret it.” Moir smiled and said, “I am using my life to practice the spirit of our civilization. As long as someone like me can exist for even one day, the spirit of our civilization will not be destroyed.”

“But you will die eventually. After you die, then what?” the stranger asked.

“I can record my life, write it into a book, and let the spirit of our civilization be passed down forever.” Moir said.

“That’s a good idea. Not bad.” the stranger said. “Then record your life and write it into a book.”

A flash of light passed. Inside the room, the figures of Moir and this stranger both disappeared, and this place returned to quiet once again. A moment later, two spherical things dropped down, rolling across the floor.

If one looked carefully, one could distinguish that these two spherical things were actually the heads of that little girl’s parents.
