People and trees are the same in a certain way. The more they yearn for the sunshine at high places, the more their roots will stretch into the dark underground.
Liu Xiao has experienced extreme evil, or in other words, he doesn't mind becoming the incarnation of evil. Likewise, he won't pity the little kindness to the world.
He will not passively lend a helping hand to anyone, but will actively provide help to strangers.
This kind of freedom and willfulness may be his definition of his own life.
What has been promised will definitely be done.
Putting away the paper, Liu Xiao walked towards the direction of Danziwu.
The city of Moro has completely recovered from the panic of the killings.
The lively streets are like scenes in an interstellar city in science fiction movies. Various cows, ghosts and snakes speak the same language, talking and shouting. Huge beasts of burden and flying beasts that fall from the sky from time to time add to the hustle and bustle here.
The smell, the random stalls set up on the roadside and the shouts of stall owners calling for sales heightened the atmosphere to a climax.
This should be what an international trade city should look like.
It is said that it is a stall, but it is not necessarily true. The creatures just hang various items on their coats and cloaks. There is no guard in Moro City. Although the security is not bad, there must be petty theft.
While walking, I looked around.
If Ziwu is a department store plus a wholesale center, and Dark Ziwu is a luxury store plus a consignment center, then these stalls are retail and ten dollar stores. However, in some aspects, the things here are more worth visiting.
look.
Because it is complex and all-encompassing, because it is ordinary and close to life, and because it is strange, it can always break through your imagination.
For example, a seller of herbal medicines may not look special at first glance, but the main thing he sells is fangs cleaning. He uses various kinds of herbs, targeting the fangs of different races. The stall owner is a tiger, and when he speaks, he always talks about it.
He bared his teeth, and those big white teeth could blind the eyes of the merchants who came and went.
Another example is a vendor selling special pliers. Liu Xiao never understood the use of this shape and style of pliers, until the stall owner was cruel and used one of them to pull out a thick burr on his arm.
Good guy, it turned out to be used to deal with some long and crooked body parts. The reason Liu Xiao could not understand was because the human body structure did not have these things. If I had to give an example, it would be like nails that have not been cut for a long time.
However, this stall owner was also really cruel to him. His arm was so covered with burrs that it almost looked bald.
In addition, there are liquids that make scales shine, sandstone for polishing weapons, seamless leather jackets that properly protect and stretch freely, damaged weapons picked up from unknown battlefields, and a lot of valuable collectibles.
The badge, the water screen image that is about to be used up, the palm-sized monkey that knows a lot of curse words, the heat and steps in the potion refining process, the mysterious potion that has no effect, the casting master did something wrong
weapons that have been used by well-known strong men of various races, lazy toads that can be worn as boots and chirp every time they take a step, and turtle shells that can be put on oneself as armor. Once an object is touched, it will be immediately tied up.
The vines that grew up, a kind of beast urine that is said to be refreshing and thirst-quenching, a lot of unopened scrolls snatched from somewhere, or the blind box version opened on the spot, some unknown and idle things, wrote
Pulp novels that don’t sell...
There are all kinds of wonders in the world.
The House of Dark Words raised Liu Xiao's cognitive upper limit, but here, he lowered his mental lower limit.
Of course, there are also a lot of relatively normal things, such as basic necessities, food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drink, and toiletries, in addition to technological products, you can basically find them.
In the Origin World, the meaning of survival is not just fighting and killing, but the supreme goal of existence is one's own strength. This is probably the most essential difference between Sloan and the Earth.
Liu Xiao is always looking for differences between the two. On the surface, there are too many, but at the core, they boil down to two harsh shackles.
The first one is the locked form of energy. On the earth, electric energy, thermal energy, and nuclear energy drive almost everything in life. From the moment the steam engine was born, human beings have embarked on a path of technology and machinery, because human beings themselves
, these energies cannot be obtained and used directly, and can only be achieved through machinery.
But at the origin, there was only one type of core energy, which was spiritual energy, a kind of life energy that could be directly obtained and used by living beings. In addition, the body could grow without restriction, and the Industrial Revolution had no meaning in existence.
The reason why the source and use of energy are regarded as the core difference is because it is the fork in the road that separated the wasteland and the origin in the earliest days. People on earth who go to the left, through the advancement of science and technology, make themselves lazier and lazier, and their lives become more and more boring.
The more comfortable you are, the starting point of walking to the right always maintains a more primitive world view.
The second article is about the imprisoned spirit body and environment. The values of human beings on earth are to live with more dignity and wealth in the short life, and to constantly break through the original class and move up. On this basis, go on to
To achieve the potential need for self-realization, this can be satisfied and realized through wealth and rights. The essential difference between origin creatures is not big, but wealth and rights need to be based on survival, so personal strength
That is their highest pursuit.
Humanity has already developed a high degree of development on the earth. Unless the cutting-edge scientific problems are solved, it will be difficult to go further. To put it bluntly, billions of people on the earth are trapped in a box. What is constantly innovating is just
It’s just the way capitalists exploit ordinary people, the optimization and update of traditional structures, and small breakthroughs in the field of applied science.
For example, originally, people went to offline physical stores to shop, and then went to online shopping. What changed was the transaction structure and method, making the whole process simpler and more convenient, but there was not much innovation in essence. For example, oil trucks and
The energy source of the tram is different, but it still makes four wheels turn. It is nothing more than a re-division of the interest pattern.
To put it bluntly, it is all caused by factors that restrict the environment. People can only continue to delve into this inherent thing.
The spirit body cannot be released, and the physical strength cannot be improved. This makes it impossible for any individual to escape from the invisible cage. No matter how smart, excellent, or rich you are, when someone points a gun at you,
Everything is ultimately empty.
Because of this, individuals can never compete with those in power and must survive within fixed rules in order to receive protection from political power and forces.
What you have learned throughout your life, whether it was taught in school, learned in society, or understood by yourself, was all set by others.
The key is, you must do this and you are willing to do this.
Power, energy and infinite possibilities have caused the Origin and Wasteland to embark on completely different development directions, and also given humans living in the two places completely different concepts and meanings of life.
The reason why I think of these when I look at these stall owners making meager profits.
I just feel that this world without technology is simpler and more straightforward, and living beings also have a relatively clear path to ascend and survive.
However, everything is dialectical.
Liu Xiao knew very well that perhaps one day, his evaluation and understanding of Origin and Wasteland would undergo earth-shaking changes.
Leaving the noisy street, we soon arrived at Shi Nuo's Danziwu. Instead of entering, we sat down in a wine shop not far away.
I ordered a kind of fruit and sat by the window, quietly watching the creatures passing by outside the window.
After eating the gourd-shaped fruit, I didn't wait for the arrival of an organization.
Somewhat boringly, he took out the paper crane and manipulated the surrounding airflow to make it fly gracefully.
Until now, he has not figured out how the paper crane flew into his hands.
It seems that this organization called Feng Chen is not that good. He got the blood lotus and has been sitting here waiting for a long time, but no one has contacted him.
It's somewhat disappointing.
Helpless, he was about to leave and meet up with Tanya and the others.
A human woman sat abruptly on the empty seat in front of him.
The moment Liu Xiao looked at her, the noisy surroundings fell silent for an instant, and the light and shadow became blurred, as if only he and the woman in front of him really existed.
"Ren Pingsheng, nice to meet you."
The woman stretched out her hand and gracefully held the paper crane between her fingertips.
Suddenly he grabbed her elbow, and the woman tried her best to pull it away, but she couldn't break free at all. She frowned and stared at this rude and rude man.
"Are you still going to do this?"
Liu Xiao smiled and took the paper crane away from the woman's hand.
The woman's body in front of her disappeared like ashes in the wind.
The surroundings returned to normal, but the paper crane in his hand became charred black at some point, as if it had just been burned by fire.
With a slight shake, it turned into black ash and scattered on the table, forming a simple map.
Liu Xiao smiled, stood up, and walked outside the house.
