The sun shines brightly outside the window. The thick double-glazed windows cut off the cold wind outside, leaving only the pleasant winter sunshine shining into the living room. I lay there. I don’t know who had a sudden idea, but it was probably bought by Qian Qian.
On the big rocking chair, taking advantage of the winter afternoon sunshine, I was rocking back and forth, drowsily sleeping, looking like an evil landlord. Dingdang ran back and forth along the armrests of the rocking chair, and occasionally he would come over and grab my buttons to play with the swing, making noises.
We went out to play, but no one paid any attention to this little thing who was a little too excited after finally getting over the jet lag. In the corner of his eye, a black and white maid outfit flashed past - flashed past the coffee table, this was Anweina in person
Busy cleaning the room, the little ghost's action route is always the shortest line segment between two points.
Life is so leisurely and the world is so beautiful. I feel like I am about to become a fairy.
Not far behind is Little Bubble, who is quietly playing with something unknown. Ji Xianxuan is sitting on the little blanket next to the little girl, staring at the ceiling in a daze. My sister is teaching mercury lamps to write the names of our family, the little doll.
Therefore, he is full of resentment towards Sandora.
On the other side, there were two guys sitting on the sofa in class. One was Lilina. When I turned my head, I found that this pseudo-loli was speaking to the person opposite with a straight face and a serious face. The other one was Lilina.
It's Fina, the unsmiling queen girl, who is holding a notebook obediently and recording what the other party tells her. This scene looks a bit weird, but you can understand it if you know what they are talking about: today's topic
Yes, common sense in living in this world.
Fina, a former machine queen who has not lived a human life for hundreds of years, has as weak a piece of common sense as a blank sheet of paper. It took me half a day to ask her to remember that water must be boiled before drinking, and then I used
It took another half a day to let her remember that after boiling, it needs to dry for a while - of course, considering the physical fitness of the Xiling Apostle, it seems that it doesn't matter if she doesn't know these two pieces of common sense, but this still shows that Fina's common sense is
Idiot, so it's not surprising that she came to listen to Lilina's class. No matter how unreliable, Lilina can still take on this teaching task.
What the little teacher, who is just over one meter tall, is talking about Chinese customs and habits and the taboos between people that you need to know to live in this world. This aspect of knowledge is what Fina needs to supplement urgently, so I am interested in a certain person.
It feels so gratifying that the unreliable pseudo-loli finally does something serious.
“Remember, you can’t get a haircut during the first month!”
Lilina said solemnly, Fina blinked and quickly wrote this sentence on her own, and then asked curiously: "Why? Will you catch a cold?"
"Because getting a haircut during the first month of the year will kill my uncle."
Lilina said with a sad face, her voice was particularly reliable.
Fina nodded blankly, not knowing what she was thinking. She suddenly showed a look of shock again, jumped off the sofa and ran to me, looking at me with big eyes full of panic: "What are you doing to summarize this?"
How many uncles have been killed by this rule?"
I was thrown out of the rocking chair with a bang, and Ji Shanshan, who was in a daze, started to reach out and call for help: her neck was stretched, and her sister was holding the hand of the mercury lamp to trace the word "Wei" in Kelvi, but she suddenly used too much force.
She punched a hole in the notebook, and the mercury lamp started to scream, and Lilina immediately understood what she should do: she dragged her recycling basket from the side of the sofa and jumped in: "Call me when you are eating.
"
"What's wrong?" Fina looked at the scene of a group of people in the living room suddenly turning upside down inexplicably, and opened her mouth with a very innocent expression, "Is there a question I asked?"
It turns out that she knew it was her own problem!
I stood up and slapped my forehead, and smoothly slipped Lilina out of the basket. The little girl started to kick and protest, and my mind went crazy on this girl's head: "In the future, I will pick up normal things and teach them to Fei."
Na!"
"Why is it abnormal for my uncle to have his head shaved and die in the first month of the year?" Lilina protested righteously, "I saw you telling me this to Mercury Lamp the day before yesterday! Do you dare to say that you didn't teach her this because Mercury Lamp has no uncle?"
I:"……"
I should never have tried to communicate normally with Lilina from the beginning. When I encountered this mobile curiosity-making machine, it was the most basic moral quality of a new citizen of imperialism to give her a few brains without saying anything!
After rubbing Lilina's little face into a red bun, I spent ten minutes explaining to Fina in detail what was going on about her uncle's death by shaving his head during the first month of the year. Obviously, the former queen had a hard time with the so-called folk taboo.
Understand, or in other words, she doesn’t understand all such real but unreasonable taboos. Fina listened as I told her that this was just a common custom, but in fact, both the eldest uncle and the second uncle are related to your hair.
After having no connection at all, he frowned in confusion: "Then why is there such a statement? It is unscientific, does not produce any benefits, and will also affect the barber's income..."
"This is what people believe." I spread my hands. "At least the Chinese people believe this. You don't have to believe it, but if others regard it as a taboo, you have to be wary. This is what the so-called customs and taboos mean. Of course you are in the shadow
You should not be exposed to this kind of statement in the city, so just take this as an example of your understanding of the so-called 'customs and taboos'."
"Then this is worthless knowledge," Fina muttered, pointing at Lilina, "Then why does she tell me these things?"
I looked at Lilina, who had been thrown into the recycling basket by myself, with the eyes of blessing my eighth generation ancestor, and gritted my teeth and said, "She deserves a beating!"
"Don't bother, boss!" Lilina quickly shrank her neck in the basket, "Fina is really serious, she will beat me to death when the time comes!"
I glanced at Fina in surprise, and she nodded seriously: "You said she deserves a beating. You are my friend, so I will help."
Suddenly there was a rush of people in the living room. I found that talking to the girl in front of me was too fun. You must be prepared to suppress your emotions before speaking. This blank girl will take everything you say seriously——
As long as she decides to trust you, she will put any of her ideas into practice and speak frankly without any gimmicks. Such a clean girl is a rare animal in this era. Basically, modern lolita are more than five years old.
It is difficult to take care of goldfish anymore at the age of half a year. Ninety-nine out of a hundred people over the age of twelve who still believe that mermaids will turn into bubbles after they die are in juvenile intelligence correction centers, and the remaining one is called
Fina, I am very sure about this because yesterday morning she came to me with a high school physics book and wanted to discuss the relationship between the law of conservation of mass and the volume of a mermaid turned into a bubble. Isana was present at that time, and then there was no more
Already...
I think we should try to keep Fina and Lilina as little in contact as possible in the future. The latter is keen to use her novel world view to wash away the nerves of normal people, and Fina, who knows nothing, is undoubtedly the best experimental field for her.
, she will definitely try her best to instill all kinds of deviant common sense into Fina. I can’t imagine that if Fina continues to have contact with this pseudo-loli who is both inside and outside, one day this innocent person will
What will the mechanical girl look like...
"Speaking of which, I've seen that Avalon seems to be very lively in the past two days. A bunch of monsters are running around, and they are also mixed with many artificial gods from Atlantis. They even built a large auditorium outside the village - you
We are considered neighbors with them, do you know what's going on?"
I asked casually while watching my sister teach Fina how to make tea.
"Because we want to celebrate the newborn." Fina put her finger on her chin as if remembering, "They said this is very commemorative, but I don't quite understand that population growth should be a natural law, so celebrating for this is really a waste.
"
As soon as Fina finished speaking, a group of girls in the living room rushed over. Qianqian Paopao's sister Lin Xue and even Ji Shanshan, everyone surrounded me and Fina and looked at us eagerly.
There is a strong gossip look on his face: women are the most keen to snoop for gossip in the world, and there is no one among them. Even the usually steady elder sister is no longer in control at this time. There are only a few present.
The exceptions are Sandora, Little Bubble and Pandora. Two of them are really not interested, and the other one is busy chatting with the ants he caught. I think they should be called the big, medium and small calm trio.
Visca's shiny blood-red cat eyes stood out among the crowd. The little girl pushed forward hard while shouting: "Child, kid? Whose is whose? Renault's and Zeratul's?"
"
I almost slipped out and slipped under the coffee table, angrily twisting Huesca's little face: "What kind of mess is this!"
Viska's soft little face turned into a ridiculously shaped dough in my hands, and while pointing to the glistening Bubbles next to her, she said vaguely: "She said that Zeratul and Renault are a couple...
"
A second later, Bubbles and Lilina were thrown into a basket.
Fina was a little flustered by so many people asking questions around her. Maybe she didn't understand why the girls in this circle were so excited, even though she was a girl herself. Afterwards, she thought about it and decided to answer my questions first.
That is, whose child is so proud that so many people in Avalon are preparing to celebrate - it is not easy to gather those monsters who have not escaped to do one thing.
"It's an Atlantean child," Fina replied calmly amid a circle of cannibalistic glances. "I don't remember the parents' names, but they seem to be commoners."
"oh--"
There was a burst of dejected responses from all around, and it was obvious that the beauties felt disappointed: after a long time, an ordinary Atlantis child was born, so the group of monsters gathered together to celebrate purely on a whim.
But there is always a thoughtful person who will notice the places that we have ignored. When everyone was busy being disappointed, my sister suddenly remembered something and reminded loudly: "Wait! In this case... that should be Atlanta."
The first child born in this new era!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that this was really not an ordinary newborn.
Another faint sentence from Sandora raised the atmosphere again: "Not just since the new era, it should be the first child born since Atlantis was torn from the earth until now."
I glanced at Shandora who was walking towards me with a suspicious look. The latter with a soft smile explained: "Maybe you didn't pay attention to those files. I also discovered it when I accidentally looked through the information.
: Ever since the continent of Atlantis was torn apart and thrown to another world, it has implemented a law prohibiting childbirth. This is the first time in so many thousands of years that they have welcomed a newborn."
"Prohibit...birth?" Qian Qian asked in shock, "Why? Why do they implement such a strange law?"
"Simple, because the artificial gods of Atlantis are immortal."
Sandora replied, we quickly thought of many things, so we fell silent in unison.
They are immortal, so they will not suffer population loss due to lifespan at all. The transformation of the empire has given them extremely powerful weapons, so it is difficult for them to have a population decrease due to daily accidents. In this case
, these immortal and immortal modified people were sent to the cold space of another world. There, they could not find a way to restart the starship, nor could they find other planets to land on, and all resources could not be replenished.
The only thing that maintained the survival of the survivors was a large number of ancient machines that were in disrepair and constantly malfunctioning. Although those ancient machines produced enough materials for them to maintain the basic operation of the city, they could not provide them with a surplus of living space, and they were locked in the living space.
,Natural reproduction is prohibited when resource replenishment may be exhausted at any time.
In fact, banning natural reproduction is just a stop-gap measure. For the Atlantis survivors who have no idea when their wandering life will end, the extremely limited starship living environment is like Damocles hanging over their heads.
Sword, if one of those ancient machines that will stop at any time is completely shut down and can no longer be started, it means that tens of thousands of people in the entire city will lose supplies. When that happens, it will be the biggest
Disaster: Not only will newborns be prohibited from being born, but even the old, weak, sick and disabled who are still alive will be forced to give up. In fact, this is just a guess, and I am sure that such a thing has probably not never happened.
When the disaster first arrived, the city of Atlantis became the final refuge for all man-made gods. Almost every Atlantean who stayed near the "Holy City" poured into the city with extremely limited space.
, and then the city was thrown into another world and became a starship floating in space with no power. What awaited them were the various shortages that followed.
This is a situation that occurs in all civilizations during disasters: the last safe shelter will always be crowded with refugees far exceeding its carrying capacity, and as the disaster continues, a large number of refugees will die due to the lack of living space that will follow.
Similar things must have happened in the city of Atlantis. After all, although they have been transformed like gods, they are not truly immortal apostles of the Xiling after all. They who can physically travel in space within a certain period of time still need to be stable.
Only with sufficient material supply can we survive.
The sudden thought of these things made us all speechless. Although Lin Xue said more than once that our family is the most heartless gang in history, even Qian Qian was not heartless at this time. However,
These dejections did not last long, because anyway, everything passed, and the Atlanteans finally came over.
"This is truly something to celebrate."
Sister gently stroked Little Bubble's head and whispered, "They didn't invite us. Maybe they thought the birth of a commoner child among them was not worth alarming the 'great gods', but..."
"As expected, it would be more appropriate to go take a look, right?"
Qian Qian spoke out everyone's feelings frankly and directly.
This is the first time that everyone in the family has expressed their approval of Qian Qian's idea at the same time. We all feel that if we don't intervene in this kind of thing, it would be a shame for the First Family's great reputation in the entire multiverse!
"Fina, when will the celebration start?"
Seeing that Qianqian was about to go back to the house to freshen up and get ready to go out in a hurry, I quickly turned to Fina to understand the situation, because even though I was theoretically the "great leader" in the hearts of the Atlanteans, I had no respect for their
I barely know the customs and habits, and I don’t know what the taboos are in the so-called newborn celebrations. Just now, I was teaching Fina to learn the taboos in normal social interactions. Now it’s like the feng shui has turned to us.
What if someone's newborn celebration has to wait for a good and auspicious day to start? How embarrassing would it be for Qianqian to boldly break into someone else's delivery room and ask to take the baby out for a look?
"As for the celebration, it will be this afternoon," Fina thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively, "it should still be a while. They said that the baptism can only be carried out seventy-two hours after the birth of the newborn. This is the rule of God.
'Rebirth cycle'."
"It seems to be the time it takes for the Xiling host mother machine to copy the next generation mother machine." Sandora explained to me in a low voice, and I nodded clearly: It seems that this is another deified common sense of the empire.
Well, let's put it this way, it takes three days for a mother machine to copy the next generation mother machine. This is much longer than the time it takes for a mass-produced machine. I remember that the time it takes to copy a mass-produced machine is even longer than frying a plate of tomatoes.
The eggs are still short (don’t ask me why I associate the production time of the mass production machine with cooking, isn’t this when I discussed this matter with Sandora, who was eating), I didn’t expect to use bubbles
Did it take three days to give birth to little Bubbles? The mother of the child has really worked hard for you.
Bubbles suddenly glanced at this side with a feeling, and murmured in a low voice: "Why do you feel a little cold all of a sudden?"
I:"……"
What a cruel sixth sense! My mother, you are so powerful! ro!.
