"This place seems to be a little livelier~ Those neighborhoods before felt so deserted, it didn't feel like being in a bustling urban area at all."
"Prosperity only exists when there are people. If everyone is working and no one is shopping, it will not be the same as the suburbs. The breath of life in the city is brought by idle people. A city without idle people is just a big factory, boring and busy."
"Huh? Why are you feeling emotional again?"
"It's nothing, I just feel a little sad after knowing the truth here. I originally thought those people were working hard, but in the end they were being squeezed, without even a chance to show their true feelings. Living like this cannot be considered a human being at all.
Even worse than animals.”
"Hey~ In fact, most people live like this, right? No one wants to go to work, but if they don't go to work, they will starve to death, so they are forced to spend most of their lives doing things they don't like or even hate.
.After all, only a few people can get a sense of accomplishment from their work. Most people probably feel that their work is meaningless and is just forced labor."
"I don't think that many jobs in the world are indeed meaningless and can be completely replaced by more efficient equipment and models."
"Well, it's called providing employment opportunities."
"This is what a civilization that cannot break out of its home star is like. The living space is too small. In the end, it cannot increase revenue and can only reduce expenditure. Compared with the vast universe, the population of low-level civilizations is simply not enough, but because there is nowhere to go,
Resources have turned into burdens. Look at my home planet Earth. Now it has only opened two new homes: Mars and the Moon. The population on the Earth has dropped by a quarter. When the deep space exploration plan starts in a few years,
Then the civilization of the earth needs to increase the population, otherwise no one will fly the spaceship. But just a few years ago, before the goddess came, we were worried about population explosion, famine, war and the like. Now no one would mention it.
These civilizations imprisoned on their home planet are no different from crickets in a jar. It’s not that they want to kill each other, but that they have no other choice.”
"But it's really difficult to break out of the mother planet~~~"
"Actually, it's not as difficult as imagined. You can do it if you unite and work hard, but short-sightedness is a common problem among mortals. In the eyes of the goddess, there is no essential difference between most low-level civilizations and children in kindergartens, even if they are between countries.
Conflicts between countries are like children fighting and grumbling, extremely childish. However, the consequences of these giant babies' quarrels are very cruel, and the lives lost and the resources lost cannot be restored. If a civilization never realizes this,
Then it will only be an underage civilization until it dies, and it will definitely die quickly. As a celebrity said, technological backwardness and weakness will not hinder the survival of a civilization, but ideological shortsightedness will not hinder the survival of a civilization.
Only then will the entire civilization be sent into the abyss.”
“So what does it take for a civilization to reach adulthood?”
"At least we must abandon the artificial barriers and treat each other as a whole, and then set our sights on the vast universe. This is like students who go to school together. They can only graduate when they leave the campus and go to society. And in the vast sea of people, you can
Often the only people who support each other are those classmates who cried and laughed together."
"Tsk~ When you say that, I miss those two guys a little. Our band hasn't opened yet~"
"Let's deal with it quickly. People in the other world are still suffering. Let's try not to waste time. We are at the meeting point ahead. Please prepare."
"What are you preparing for?"
"I'm going to run away with the little animal. I'm not sure if it's a trap."
"Oh, no need to prepare, I'm very good at running away with my children now!"
"Yanghua, you are actually very suitable to be a mother and take care of a child."
"Don't make trouble, the child will only affect the speed of my guitar solo."
"But there are only three people in your band, which is obviously not enough."
"What? You expect this kid to join the band? Are you wrong?"
"It's hard to say. This child's growth rate is very abnormal. Didn't you notice that she is a lot bigger now than when she was first picked up?"
"It seems...she hasn't eaten much during this period and has been sleeping. Maybe it will last longer."
"In short, this child's secret is harder to unravel than the plague, so let's not think about that for now."
"Hmm~"
The joint location that the fat boss marked for me is in a very tall building. This building occupies a large area of land by itself. The ground part is a market made of lightweight materials, which surrounds the entire building and other places here.
The building is separated from the building. The outer wall of the building is covered with various sign projections that are dazzling and can even be called spiritual pollution. The amount of information is so large that it makes me want to vomit in an instant. Fortunately, Ai Jiang opened the thought cache for me in time.
This thing is usually only used when I am learning something at a glance.
"Why is this place so messy? It's inconsistent with the image of the entire city! What are these signs? I'm dizzy looking at them! Who can find what you're looking for from them? What's the point of advertising like this?"
Bai Yanghua also felt uncomfortable, covering her head and leaning against me.
"Perhaps these Cybermen can automatically filter out useful information. There are too many people and too few places, so we can only advertise in every possible way. This area is for outsiders, so the style will naturally look a bit messy."
"So what is this place?"
"I don't know. There are people looking at the signs and everything. It's almost like being in a small town inside the building."
"Why is there such a place? I don't think other buildings are so exaggerated?"
"Maybe it's because the rent here is cheap. If you encounter a problem that you can't figure out, then consider the money factor. This is valid in most civilizations."
"Then isn't this a vertical slum? You said before that there are no slums in this city!"
"I checked online. It's obvious that the information has been processed. What can I do? Cloud investigation is still not advisable. If you want to know the real situation, you must conduct on-site inspections."
"Hey~ Why did that boss let us come to a place like this? He must have hired thugs to arrest us, right? As long as the environment is chaotic enough, no one will notice if we do bad things."
"That's true, but lurking and espionage also require such an environment. If we enter a store and don't come out for half a day, we will definitely attract attention, but it is normal to enter this kind of building and not come out for a month. I don't think the fat boss lied to us.
, this should be a stronghold of their organization."
"Okay, if something goes wrong, we'll just run away. There's no one who can catch up with us."
"Why are you so proud of something like this?"
"Hey~ When you are alive, you have to find something to be proud of. If you don't have anything to be proud of, then don't be ashamed but feel proud~ I'm not as good at fighting as you, so I can only run away as hard as I can~"
"Yanghua, actually the only difference between you and me is courage. How about you die a few more times to experience it..."
