Chapter 253 The voice of shattered dreams [4698 words for a monthly ticket](1/2)
Where is the earth?
How far is it?
How much time has passed?
What force brought me here?
Why did I wake up in a deserted jungle?
Why were other cryogenic chambers apparently from Earth abandoned and never discovered?
After sending Xiao Xingyue away, Ren Zhong lay on the bed without turning on the hypnotic state and could not fall asleep for a long time. He asked himself these questions over and over again.
He remembered a quote from Newton.
Human knowledge is a circle.
The more knowledge there is, the larger the circle, the larger the radius, the longer the sides, and the more areas bordering the empty space outside, the more people will be aware of their ignorance.
He once considered not waiting for Ma Xiaoling's side to start a national war, directly donating 3 billion, earning 300 million points as quickly as possible, and buying "Ten Thousand Years of History".
But after chatting with Xiao Xingyue, he changed his mind again.
He is no longer that interested in "A History of Ten Thousand Years".
Fake, everything is fake.
What he wants is the truth, not another new layer of lies.
In this case, let's continue to wait for Ma Xiaoling's side to win the first place in the monthly national battle in the entire server.
An investment of 200 million should be enough.
When the time comes, just watch it as a entertainment.
This time, I want to strive to live longer and climb higher. Money, which used to be just an illusory number, has value again. It’s time to pursue cost-effectiveness.
Ren Zhong sighed, simply not thinking about these troubles, turned on hypnosis, entered the sleep space, and once again entered the online learning channel established by the continental laboratory in the Chenhui mining area.
After Ren Zhong entered, the number of online users of the channel changed from 0 to 1.
This online learning channel was compiled by the continental laboratory in recent days by hiring senior actuarial programmers from outside.
The main purpose is to help a talented new consultant who has been paddling outside for a long time to keep up with the progress of the project, so that he can use his free time to keep learning while he is away from home.
Because of the need to rush the work, Zhou Level Laboratory paid the programmer and his team double the salary for this, and the expenditure was as high as 80 million points.
This is the treatment of genius.
The next morning, Ren Zhong got up half an hour later than usual.
Just after washing up, I opened the door to the bedroom suite, and a strong fragrance wafted into my nostrils.
Since he started taking Zimu medicine, Ren Zhong's body has been very exhausted. He slept without eating all night, and he was already ravenous. When stimulated by the fragrance, his stomach gurgled like thunder.
He followed the scent and heard the sound of clinking spatulas and stir-frying coming from the kitchen.
He walked to the kitchen door and saw Ju Qingmeng, dressed in home clothes and wrapped around his waist, standing by the stove, concentrating on stir-frying.
The smart housekeeping robot is standing aside, seemingly doing nothing.
The thermostatic stand behind Ju Qingmeng is already filled with twelve or thirteen finished dishes covered with metal covers, with steam still coming from the gaps around the edges.
She is very skillful in stir-frying, and it seems that she has applied her dexterity in modifying equipment to stir-fry.
In a daze, Ren Zhong's memory seemed to be pulled back to his high school days.
At that time, I was still just an ordinary good student. When I came home from school, my mother was cooking in the kitchen with concentration, and the aroma of oil filled the house.
For a moment, Ren Zhong was so fascinated by the sight.
Ju Qingmeng was very focused on his movements. It wasn't until he started the pot that he noticed Ren Zhong standing blankly at the door.
She smiled and said, "Are you awake?"
"Um."
"Your Chi Feng Jia doesn't need me to handle it much anymore. When I have nothing to do, I learn to cook. I see that you eat a lot recently, and I always feel that you want to eat a lot after getting up in the morning. I will volunteer to give it a try. Yes, but I can’t guarantee that I can do better than the intelligent robot. I still have problems controlling the heat.”
Ren Zhong: "After all, humans and machines are different. Humans have their own charm. Thank you."
"Okay, you go sit at the dining table first. There is still the last dish. I'll let the robot serve you the food first."
With that said, Ju Qingmeng pushed Ren Zhong out.
Ren Zhong waited at the dining table for almost ten minutes before Ju Qingmeng brought the last dish to the table with both hands.
This is a priceless piece of fried shredded pork with natural celery. It looks crystal clear and is full of color, flavor and aroma.
Seeing that Ren Zhong hadn't moved his chopsticks, Ju Qingmeng asked in confusion: "Why haven't you eaten yet? Aren't you hungry?"
Ren Zhong shook his head, "I'm hungry, but I think I should wait for you."
"Yeah."
After a long time, Ren Zhong put down his chopsticks.
More than ten dishes were swept away by him in a flash.
Ju Qingmeng, who was sitting opposite him, had already finished his work and asked with a smile: "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious. I think it's better than what a robot makes."
"Thank you for the compliment."
"I should be the one thanking you."
"Then...if you like it, I can cook it for you often in the future?"
"Okay. But even though the Chifeng Armor no longer needs your improvements, other people in the town still have to rely more on you for their equipment."
"Don't worry. It doesn't take much effort. I just haven't taken part in the professional ability assessment, but I suspect that I am now a level 5 pilot who can handle the modification of traditional level 5 exoskeletons."
"You have worked hard."
"It's okay, it's okay, you have to work harder."
"It's better for you to work harder."
Ju Qingmeng: "Can we stop working so hard for each other? In fact, we are all having a great time, aren't we?"
Ren Zhong was stunned, "Yes. Hahahahaha!"
Ju Qingmeng: "Hahahaha!"
Nothing happened last night, but some subtle changes were quietly brewing.
It seems that Ju Qingmeng thought about it all night, and then she finally understood Ren Zhong a little bit.
He said there was no need to express gratitude in that way.
He doesn't like purposeful lust.
This is the reason why I was rejected.
Lin Wang's original evaluation of Ren Zhong was actually partially correct. He was indeed a person who believed in love.
Ju Qingmeng even regretted it. It would have been better if he had not found a lame excuse to cover up because of his reserve, but had been braver to confess his feelings.
But it's not too late, we still have a lot of time.
She also didn't want to ask what happened between Ren Zhong and Xiao Xingyue last night.
That doesn't make sense.
Since she knew it was impossible, she wouldn't be jealous.
At noon, the two returned to Xinghuo Town.
Along the way, Ju Qingmeng took the initiative to mention the 170 million.
She said: "Now the whole Yuanxing knows that I am your lover, so I will keep the money. You don't care, right?"
"Of course not!" Ren Zhong nodded first, then shook his head, "But actually I don't like the title of lover."
Ju Qingmeng: "Why? But if we are just friends, it can't be justified, right?"
Ren Zhong grinned, "I thought of a word that might seem a little childish."
"What?"
"partner."
Ju Qingmeng covered her mouth and laughed, "That's a bit childish. Why not... just call me partner?"
"Um."
"A lifelong companion?"
Ren Zhong: "Yeah."
Ju Qingmeng said no more, just nodded, then turned away and looked out the window.
Her face was very red, reaching the roots of her ears.
Her heartbeat is very fast.
She finally knew that this was love.
Mr. Ren’s strategy plan, progress +1%.
After returning to the town and waiting for about half an hour, a medium-sized airship flew from the direction of Chongyi County. It was Ju Qingmeng's parents.
When Ju Qingmeng's parents set off, Ren Zhong and Ju Qingmeng had a brief exchange with their elders.
He was a little surprised.
These two statutory retirees were forcibly recalled by Tianyuan Military Industry. Although Wang Jinshou made small moves, the two elders themselves were not ordinary people.
