"In that case, it makes sense that you can't activate your skill." Lilith suddenly seemed to realize something as her eyes glinted with understanding as she slowly said, "While this forest is dark, that doesn't mean it has shadows."

You are not mistaken, that's what I was referring to when I said we would "run out" shortly after if we actually waited that long. Certain topics are difficult to discuss if you're not sure what WN will censor. Their policy has been erratic over the years.

Unconsciously, she clenched her fists tightly and her blue eyes flashed with anger. While there were also some prostitutes in the Beginning Village, under the strict rules, all underage women were completely forbidden to sell their bodies and if a man was found having sex with an underage girl he would be decapitated in front of everyone as a warning. With the possibility of having a decent job and with three bowls of gruel every day even for the slackers, no one had the right to complain.

A typical life expectancy for the time was 30. So yeah, they considered mid-life okay to start having relations. These days we should be waiting until like our 40s, but life expectancy increased way faster than our biology could adapt. So we're still "ready" way before we now "should" be and even "run out" shortly after we should now start. To account for biology we have to scale non-linearly, but even so, 18 is outdated; some studies find late 20s is now more appropriate.

We’ll just have to hope stray mana somehow prevents refeeding syndrome, or this whole apocalypse is full of people who killed themselves by daring to eat. Coming off starvation, “too much” food is a surprisingly small amount, and the kinds of food can be risky too.

Seeing the rice crackers and milk cartons, Yi Fang's and Xiang Feng's eyes glittered with desire. When was the last time they had seen anything other than relief food? Almost a whole month! As for comfort food such as milk... Those were luxuries they could only dream of but never touch.

Did I miss Bai Zemin say "King of China"; I thought it was simply "King" (of unspecified). Or is this all Chen He's fault that everyone else thinks his ambition is China, and he's not bothering to clarify?

"My brother and I are willing to help you." Nangong Lingxin didn't hesitate for a second this time. She solemnly proclaimed, "We will help you become the King of China and establish a new dynasty."

Clearly the "blacksmith" skill is a catch-all crafter: probably all smithing (black, brown, white, silver, gold, leather, gun, lock, etc.), tanner/tawer, bowyer, and probably even fletcher, tailor, cobbler, cooper, and so on.

The drying process did not need human interference, so Bai Zemin took full advantage of the time and began to prepare the materials to create Shangguan Bing Xue's sword, a bow for Chen He, a dagger for Cai Jingyi and another for Fu Xuefeng, gloves for Zhong De, he even needed gloves for himself...

They are supposed to be separate entities, but most people can't be bothered to distinguish. It's like a "name that 'evil'" version of how some people call any carbonated soft drink a "Coke" or a "Pepsi" regardless of what it actually is.

Unless they are clinging to a suspicion that the mana will soon go away again and that the "evolved" will die or be grievously injured as a result, then they're fools. They can risk dying now while there's still a good chance to get started, or be locked into literal or relative powerlessness awaiting the day they become a collateral casualty.

None wanted to die now that the hope of being embraced by the government was just around the corner. A few even believed that the heinous acts committed by Bai Zemin and Shangguan Bing Xue when they killed people would be punished by law.

Song Shuhang faintly smiled. With a thought, he stretched out his arms and assumed a human cross posture, as if he was about to use some kind of secret technique.

Ionic cleaners don’t need a filter because the ionized air imparts its charge onto the contaminants, which makes them attract toward grounded surfaces and static cling to whatever it bumps into next (wall, floor, table, you, etc). You’re swapping from making and replacing a filter to more frequent dusting/sweeping/etc. Less material cost and less specialized labor, but more unspecialized labor.

"It doesn't need a filter element to be effective and actively release sterilization factors into the air."

If I understood correctly he couldn't watch anyway (different cultivation realm), unless that was only for the first round. So it was either wait here or at the betting point.

You have to hire staff somehow. Advertise broadly, avoid creating unnecessary barriers to application, and only accept those the Hive rated well. You might miss out on "perfect", but you can do much better than the status quo.

Cortney was not wrong about wanting to find kind people to run orphanages, it was just like a nation trying to find brave people willing to fight for their nation, but that would open up another ethical conundrum. The kind Wyatt hated the most, manipulating people by playing with their emotions. Not to mention the people Cortney was searching for were genuinely kind ones.

According to our modern understanding of game theory, his strategy is one of the better ones but not the best. It is clear, nice, provocable, but misses forgiving. (In context, "nice" just means initially cooperative.) Among general strategies, the best to date have all had all four properties: clear, nice, provokable, and forgiving.

"Good luck with that, sweetie. I have lived longer than you and experienced a lot more things than you. Yes, I can't beat your tragic childhood but when it comes to trust, regardless of who it is, they have only one chance if they fail to cherish it then they don't deserve a second chance. Besides, why are we wasting our time debating this? I will let you two catch up," Wyatt prepared to enter the seed world but he paused when he heard Cortney ask, "What if that someone is Anna or Susan?"

A principle present in almost every culture, and yet so rarely practiced. Two of the more common formulations being: "What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others." and "Do to others what you want them to do to you."

The best way to thread through relationships would be to reciprocate what you expect from the person in the relationship to them. If you expect unconditional loyalty from them then give them your unconditional loyalty, if they acknowledge and reciprocate it then congratulations if not it was not meant to be.

Historical fiction usually avoids the topic of “relations”, or takes artistic license to modernize the ages, specifically because it’s unpalatable to modern audiences. They weren’t against “young” age because before about the 1900s the typical life expectancy was under 30. If they waited as long as we do now, most of them wouldn’t survive to have kids, and those who did would die before their kids were over 9.

Ye Song took a glance at her developing body, and he shook his head. He knew this world was close to the medieval age of Europe, and people there were not against having sex from a young age. But there was a twenty-year-old soul inside Ye Song and he was not going to do anything to a girl that was about fifteen years old.

My impression is the OP was reacting to the actual wording used, "if things had to go wrong, they always would," which is not a typical formulation of Murphy's Law. It's actually closer to Sod's Law, but still not right, and is pretty much a tautology: If things are required to go wrong, they will.

If things had to go wrong, they always would. Murphy's Law was reminding Xiafeng in a cold way. The color of the boy’s hair and his clothes were all proof of his guess. Xiafeng could instinctively understand and speak this unknown language, but he was far from being a linguist, so he could not even tell what kind of language they were speaking.

More specifically, the body tries, but antibodies generally identify their target using things like surface proteins, and it just so happens this virus doesn't have a stable "appearance". It's like a wanted person who constantly changes their clothing style, and wears different wigs, masks, etc.

The biggest problem with the AIDS virus is that the human body does not seem to produce corresponding antibodies that can resist the AIDS virus.

Cosmic strings? (1-dimensional defects in space.) Those aren’t really related to string theory, but rather earlier theories, and were originally believed to be completely unrelated. It was only later determined that the concept of cosmic strings could exist within string theory, especially later derivatives like superstring theory.

He approached Kibor for a large amount of cosmic string material.

More like as long as it can be found, the correctness can be more directly assessed. Though the modern state appears to be the the original string theory is dead, and all we have left are a collection of derivative string theories that look increasingly like Newtonian epicycle-style patch-work (i.e. bordering dangerously close to mere post-facto data-fitting instead of proper predictive theories). On the up side the pursuit of string theory has contributed significantly to the overall mathematical techniques used throughout physics.

As long as multidimensional space can be found, the correctness of string theory can be proven.

"Countering death" seems odd in this context. Perhaps "seeking death"?

'Being ambitious, Which dictionary are you using? Mine explains it as countering death,' Wyatt stared at the shameless Dragon and yelled. Then he added, 'Not only are you being greedy but you are risking my life for your greed. I don't like this one bit. You might have grown tired of living since you are a few millenniums old but I am not even a century old, I have people counting on me back home. Just send me out of here!'
