I Contracted Myself-Chapter 86 – Is universal equality possible?

Zhang Ping felt Situ Shibai in his bracelet wanting to speak, but he discreetly patted the bracelet to stop him.

He continued to ask, "So this so-called human king is... Li Aoxue?"

"Exactly, only Her Majesty is qualified to become the human king and ascend to the throne!" Guan Hongying said as if it were a matter of course.

Zhang Ping frowned and asked, "Then let me ask a fundamental question: once she succeeds, how does she plan to govern this country?"

"Why do you ask that?" Guan Hongying frowned.

Zhang Ping pursed his lips and retorted, "So, you haven't even thought about what this country will be like, how it should be governed, or what the people's mindset should be?

I feel like your actions are more like those of bandits. Sorry... there are no bandits in this modern age, so you might not understand what I mean by that.

At best, you just occupy cities, and the cities remain the same as they were. Then you start more wars to occupy more cities, but the essence of these cities doesn't change; it's just a shift from the City Lord's rule to yours.

So, for the so-called human king, so many people have to die, so much blood has to be shed?"

"You don't understand the significance of a human king. Only with the birth of a human king can our race unite and possibly stand atop all races again," Guan Hongying said angrily.

Zhang Ping nodded, "Indeed, I don't understand. But I know that Zhu City was overthrown by our ancestors because their rule was brutal and unjust. So what about Mingzhu City now?"

"Hmph, do you know how many ordinary people have joined us? Perhaps the Awakeners in Mingzhu City live well, but ordinary people live like cattle and horses. Are their lives any better than before? In the end, it's just a change of rulers," Guan Hongying said proudly.

Zhang Ping was genuinely surprised, "So what benefits have you promised them?"

"Of course, it's equality for all. Only when Her Majesty unites all of humanity can humans return to the top of the food chain. Ordinary people will have the opportunity to do what they want, instead of only doing the dirtiest, most exhausting jobs for meager wages that barely fill their stomachs," Guan Hongying said earnestly.

She vaguely felt that Zhang Ping wasn't one of those stubborn Awakeners, and perhaps she could win his support.

"Equality for all, I like that term, but in any era, equality for all is the most absurd lie. How can Awakeners and ordinary people be equal?" Zhang Ping finally closed his eyes and sighed slightly.

Guan Hongying's words might be very tempting to ordinary people.

Because ordinary people indeed see no hope.

Especially in this world, leaving the city's protection is a death sentence for ordinary people. They have no way out, no freedom, and if they haven't awakened, their fate is sealed; they can only be subordinates.

If Zhang Ping had traveled to this world and wasn't an Awakener, he would definitely support Li Aoxue, even if she was just painting a big picture for him.

After all, other Awakeners might not even bother to paint a picture for him.

The problem is, he is an Awakener and has witnessed firsthand how powerful Awakeners can be.

Although, at the end of the day, most Awakeners are still flesh and blood, still need to eat, drink, sleep, and defecate, and still face birth, aging, illness, and death, compared to ordinary people, Awakeners are all superhumans.

How can ordinary people and superhumans be equal?

Li Aoxue's promises, which are impossible to fulfill, are essentially deceitful.

"Do you have a different opinion?"

Guan Hongying noticed Zhang Ping's skepticism and spoke up.

She wanted to persuade Zhang Ping, ideally to turn him completely and make him their insider within the Sweep Team.

A quick look at " will leave you more fulfilled.

"How can a race between an Awakener and an ordinary person be fair?" Zhang Ping looked at Guan Hongying and asked.

Guan Hongying frowned, "Of course, it's..."

She initially wanted to say let the ordinary person start first, but suddenly realized a problem: why should Awakeners let ordinary people start first?

That would be tantamount to favoring ordinary people, which would be unfair to Awakeners.

But if they ran normally, how could ordinary people ever beat Awakeners?

They simply couldn't win.

It's a losing race.

Zhang Ping smirked, "Equality for all? Even in a nation built by ordinary people, true equality is impossible. Some will always be wealthier, have more connections, and wield more power, let alone between Awakeners and ordinary people."

"Using impossible promises to win people's hearts is not an honorable approach," he continued, delivering a critical blow to Guan Hongying.

In this world, it's incredibly difficult for ordinary people to compete with Awakeners.

In terms of ability, energy, and even IQ, Awakeners overwhelmingly surpass ordinary people. Without the protection of Awakeners, ordinary people are just food for Mutated Beasts.

Guan Hongying stubbornly said, "Perhaps Her Majesty has her own way to resolve this? You're just speculating. Maybe once Her Majesty becomes the human king, the gap between Awakeners and ordinary people will no longer be an issue."

"Alright, alright, let's not discuss these issues. It seems neither of us has studied well, and we're only scratching the surface of the problem."

At this point, Zhang Ping waved his hand as if trying to erase the previous conversation.

Then he looked seriously at Guan Hongying and asked, "I have just one question, and you must answer me honestly."

"Go ahead!"

Guan Hongying nodded.
