Chapter Seventy-One: The Difference Between East and West
The abilities of Westerners, all kinds of things, in Charlene's view, are completely unthinkable, and there is nothing you can't see.
Belch......
Or should I say, there is only what you dare not think, there is nothing that you can't see?
Especially when she saw that one of the abilities had simply changed the name of her sturdy and powerful ability to "Earth Bear", Charlene almost burst out laughing.
Earth Bear or something......
How did she remember that it was the orcs from some fantasy novels she had read in her previous life?
This guy really doesn't think of himself! Or was he really so confident and satisfied with his abilities?
It's just that when she saw that after that man, one person after another gave her abilities some strange names, Charlene gradually stopped laughing.
It's just thundering, there's wood?!
However, although such a talent ability allows them to have a few more chances of survival than the Orientals when they train and hunt alien beasts in the jungle, and even let them have the same disadvantages at the same time.
That is, they have always been ahead of the level of science and technology in the East, but because their dependence on technology is not as strong as that in the East, and even most people prefer the environment in the jungle full of adventure and blood, so they do not attach as much importance to science and technology as the East.
Not to mention, after experiencing the survival environment of the jungle like the end of the world, they are deeply dissolved into the idea of individualism in their bones, so those who have weak abilities, or even no abilities at all, even if you have a smart brain, no matter how talented you are, it is in vain.
If for all beasts, the safest time in their lives is when they are not yet adults and are still under the protection of their parents, then for the Western Aliens, at least a hundred years ago, they were not much different.
The only difference is that they don't have to wander through the jungle all the time, struggling between life and death, but can be well cultivated and protected in the world of human civilization, but once they are fourteen years old, they will be mercilessly thrown out of the school gate and thrown into the jungle outside......
Life and death, by fate.
It is precisely because of this that although there are many strong people in the West, many Western people will still choose to leave their families or even their homeland and go out to wander, but there are more geniuses or abilities in other fields who quietly wither because they are not strong enough and have not found a strong dependent.
Speaking of which, Jack is one of those people who has left his hometown and is very happy to start a new journey in life.
Although, in recent years, his life seems to be getting worse and harder.
I don't know if it's because of this, although in the military, the number of Western and Eastern abilities has always been five-five, but the Western side of the two sides is more inclined to simple and rough armed combat, but the Eastern side will tend to be more roundabout tactics.
For example-
Learn more about the mutated animals and plants in the wild, and use their weaknesses to attack while finding more value from each other, rather than simply hunting.
At this point, it has to be said that Oriental people seem to have always been well versed in the spirit of exploration and oppression. The advantage of this is that although the soldiers of the Eastern army are not as strong as the West in terms of individual combat strength, with the help of various tools and cooperation, they are often surprised on the battlefield.
Therefore, the two sides have always been in a state where no one can help the other.
But in the Federal Assembly, the distinction between East and West began to become more pronounced. At the very least, it was obvious from the number alone that the Eastern Adeptus family would have the upper hand.
This point was determined from the ratio of Eastern and Western families among the nine major families at the beginning.
I have to say that having a family background is destined to struggle less!
Xia Lin was looking through the history of the evolution of the Eastern and Western abilities in her hand, and she was surprised, crying and laughing, and with some sour sighs, when Xu Shuoyang suddenly walked over.
"The history of the evolution of Eastern and Western abilities?" Glancing at the title of the book in Xia Lin's hand, Xu Shuoyang raised his eyebrows and asked a little puzzled, "Are you still planning to go to the West?" โ
"Can't you?" Seeing Xu Shuoyang suddenly appear, Xia Lin blinked, shifted her gaze from the book in her hand to Xu Shuoyang's face, but did not answer, but asked with a confused expression.
Xu Shuoyang's expression was a little strange, and he looked Xia Lin up and down before he smiled a little maliciously, "Are you sure you want to listen to me?" โ
Charlene took a deep breath and forced herself to ignore Xu Shuoyang's undisguised eyes and ill-intentioned appearance. "Lecturer Xu, please speak!"
"With your small body, you haven't reached the western boundary yet, so it's estimated that you were either dismantled by a foreign beast or abducted and trafficked!"
As for where and what to do, Xu Shuoyang said that this should not be known by the simple Charlene now.
Charlene:......
So, the brain hole is really the most powerful, right?!
Right, huh?!
When did she say she was going to the West to visit the Beast, bastard!
Charlene was a little angry, but she didn't refute it after all.
After all...... "Lecturer Xu, when did you hear that I was going to the West?" โ
"Huh, no?" Xu Shuoyang looked at Xia Lin with surprise.
Xia Lin only felt that the whole person was not very good, and looked at Xu Shuoyang with a dark face, and her eyes were full of fire. "Is there one?"
"Oh hehe...... How could I know about this question, teacher?! Xu Shuoyang's eyes rolled slightly, but he avoided this question and smiled slyly, "So, why are you suddenly interested in this book, classmate Charlene?" โ
After all, with what he knows about Charlene, this little girl is very lazy, and she won't even look at things that have nothing to do with her, or things she doesn't use.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been in this library for a few months, still soaking in such a small place every day, facing this pile of things that are either human geography or historical changes.
Doesn't she know what a great honor it is for such an open and fee-free library to be able to enter and exit freely?
If it weren't for the fear that she would be alone in the bedroom every day, and it wouldn't be too pitiful to find something, when the preliminary priest helped her get a library pass before leaving, she thought she could really go in and out of the library freely every day?!
You must know that, just like Anmo before, all ordinary students only have the opportunity to visit the library three times a month.
Otherwise......
She thought she was lying on the library on the first floor like this, and no one would notice?!
What a simple silly girl!
Xia Lin didn't know Xu Shuoyang's thoughts and thoughts, but she had other ideas in her heart.
In fact, she is really just curious about the culture and development history of the West, and she has no real plans to do anything.
Although she is a little slippery and greedy for money on weekdays, she is definitely a real patriotic young man.
For Charlene, who didn't even think about going abroad before the end of the world, Westerners or something......
Probably except for a few specific countries, the rest of the countries, even the names of the countries in Charlene's heart, can be replaced with question marks. Not to mention any more understanding.
Anyway, she didn't think that with her life situation and background, she would have anything to do with the blond and blue-eyed crowd.
But......
"It is said that Westerners will be independent once they become adults, and they will be at the risk of life and death?" Charlene blinked and asked curiously.
Xu Shuoyang thought for a moment and nodded, "Basically, it can be said that this is the case." โ
Seeing Xia Lin's thoughtful expression, Xu Shuoyang's tone paused, as if he had guessed what Xia Lin wanted to say.
"However, there has always been a lack of harmony between the Eastern and Western Abilities, and the Western Abilities also have people who have to listen to their parents."
For example, those families and ethnic groups that have a history of hundreds of years will never allow their children, especially those with excellent qualifications, to be poor. And for the sake of the interests of the family, marriages or something are commonplace.
I have to say that at this point, the cultures of the East and the West are surprisingly similar! O(โฏโกโฐ)o
Seeing that Xia Lin seemed to be a little disapproving, Xu Shuoyang sighed slightly, "Do you think that the family only exists in the East?" โ
The absolute control of the family and the right to decide the life and death of the family members are definitely stricter in the West than in the East.
Hearing Xu Shuoyang deliberately emphasize this, Xia Lin pursed her lips, "What about that person?" โ
She hadn't forgotten that the reason why she had come back to check this was precisely because she had discovered that the chameleon who was monitoring her was actually a "foreigner".
Is it really good to be blonde and blue-eyed, crouching there and disguising yourself as the shadow of an evergreen tree or something?
Xu Shuoyang raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Xia Lin, knowing that Xia Lin was talking about the strange person from the West who secretly monitored the two of them from time to time, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and his tone was mocking, "His profession is only easy to mix in this kind of small place now!" โ
Charlene:????
Did she accidentally come into contact with the corners of some secret?
Xu Shuoyang said a word, and then turned his gaze back to Xia Lin, "So, why are you reading this book?" โ
Charlene:......
Dear, is this question so important?!
Can she say she's just curious?
Can it be said that just because this is the first "foreigner" she has met in this world?
"Do you think that even if I am a powerless little woman, even if I make up my mind to escape, can I still escape to the West?
I'm afraid that before she gets there, she will already be tossed to death.
She's a lazy person, this kind of thing is on the same level as discovering the New World, so it's better to save it! RS
