Chapter 62: The Temperament Brought by the Heritage
Tongming Village. It's a bustling and lively village. On the wide, flat streets, well-dressed figures shuttled by.
The inhabitants of the streets are mainly divided into two types of people. One is a half-orc with animal ears and a tail, and the other is a human.
In fact, these two types of people are very easy to distinguish, not only the slight beastly characteristics on their bodies, but also their posture.
Most of the orcs were in a hurry, and although they were well-dressed, they were not very expensive. And those humans, dressed in more gorgeous clothes, looked more complacent.
They exude different temperaments. It is different from the treacherous ruthlessness of the goblins who are shaped by the precarious and difficult and poor environment. They exude a more peaceful temperament.
Just a slight difference. The peace of the orcs exudes a sense of humility and unconfidence. And the human expressions here revealed a kind of arrogance that made Zheng Ming uncomfortable and very familiar.
"What the hell is it?"
Zheng Ming racked his brains and thought.
"Oh, yes. Isn't this the look of the white people in the colonial period in those old movies in the previous life? They're thinking they're superior! ”
Zheng Ming subconsciously pinched the temporary identity card he had just received in his hand, and thought to himself.
"Hey, what do you think? Is that something that weird? ”
A strong force came from the back to wake up Zheng Ming. It turned out that Bai Su saw Zheng Ming stunned on the side of the street, and slapped it on the back with a big grin.
"It's exquisite. Very creative. ”
Zheng Ming replied casually, looking at the hexagonal identity card in his hand, on which the words "safety, vigilance, danger" were written on each corner of the three words, and on the three corners next to it, there were three circular protrusions. In order, they are green, yellow, and red. At this time, the green light that represents safety is shining.
Seeing Zheng Ming opening the identity card in his hand in a daze, Bai Su thought that the other party was worried about the future, and hurriedly comforted him in a gentle voice.
"Are you worried? Rest assured, I've got you. I'll take you home first, wash up, and have a good meal. ”
Zheng Ming looked at Bai Su, who was patting his chest on a large scale and posing with a heroic posture, and couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
"So reassuring me? Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person? Will it hurt you? ”
Zheng Ming's unexpected question was slightly stunned, then smiled, and reached out to touch Zheng Ming's head.
"Haha. You're so beautiful, how bad can you be? Besides, I'm not a bully. ”
As she spoke, she also bent her arms to show Zheng Ming a barren biceps.
The other party's innocent smile made Zheng Ming smile bitterly. Appearance is justice, and appearance determines IQ. This is the first time Zheng Ming has encountered this kind of thing.
Appearance is the external manifestation of a person, and appearance is like a business card, which is an important part of a person.
I have to say that for the first impression, appearance occupies a very large proportion. However, as a person's experience increases and becomes more mature, the proportion of them judging people based on their appearance decreases, and they pay more attention to the inner part of a person.
Except, of course, for those extreme appearanceists.
Obviously, Bai Su's judgment of people in front of him is still at the stage of looking at people's appearances, so Zheng Ming asked aloud as if unintentionally: "Sister Bai Su, how old are you?" ”
"I'm seventeen years old, so I'm an adult. What about you? Little Zheng Ming? You look like you're only about 10 years old, right? ”
"Huh? Uncle, I'm twenty-four. When I was in junior high school, you were still in kindergarten. ”
Of course, Zheng Ming couldn't say these words, he just rolled his eyes secretly and exclaimed sweetly: "Huh? Is my sister only seventeen? Did my sister grow up in this village? ”
"yes. I've been in the village since I was born and haven't been anywhere else. Didn't you say you came from the forest on the west side? Tell me about the outside world. ”
Hearing Bai Su's admission, Zheng Ming confidently said "Sure enough". The other party was born and raised in this seemingly peaceful and peaceful village, and he has not experienced too many things and lacks experience, so he will show a naivety that is difficult for Zheng Ming to understand.
"Looks like you had a pretty good upbringing, right?"
"What?"
Zheng Ming's insincere whisper made Bai Su's face look puzzled.
"Ahh It's nothing. Sister Bai Su, have there been any foreign cat demons in the village recently? Have you ever heard of a cat demon with orange and white fur? ”
"Demon Clan~"
Bai Su looked at Zheng Ming's earnest eyes and lengthened his voice. After his eyes turned several times, he saw that Zheng Ming began to show urgency, so he continued.
"Why do you ask this?"
"I got separated from a fellow cat demon. One of the reasons I wanted to go to Starlanding was to find it. ”
"Oh, although there are demon clans nearby that are adjacent to human territory, they usually don't come to our small villages around us. If you want to go, it's just to go to the big city. After all, they are a high-ranking race, and they are very arrogant. ”
Although he had expected it, Zheng Ming was still a little disappointed after getting a clear answer.
"More arrogant than the humans on the streets? I see them walking looking up to the sky. ”
The simple-minded Bai Su didn't see Zheng Ming's forced smile, and when he heard the description of its image, he was immediately amused and giggled.
After the crisp and pleasant laughter like a bell, Bai Su leaned on his waist and stretched out his jade finger to point Zheng Ming's head, and couldn't help but say.
"Don't say that when you go out in the future. Although they are all people who have come from heaven, they are human beings after all. With such a powerful clan, it's understandable to be a little proud and proud. ”
Bai Su's advice made Zheng Ming keenly discover some problems.
That is, the people who fell from the sky are very powerful, and there is a clear gap between them and those humans who have defected.
The village seems to be peaceful, but in fact there are classes inside. Those Terrans who are of the same kind as the people who descended from the sky and have eyes above the top are obviously higher than the rest of the races, such as the orcs.
And if there is a class, there is a distinction between high and low, which is likely to bring oppression. The half-orc pedestrians with humble attitudes are proof of this.
Thinking of this, Zheng Ming looked at Bai Su, who was heartless and carefree beside him. She doesn't have that obvious humility in her, and why?
Just as Zheng Ming stared at Bai Ming thoughtfully, Bai Ming stroked his white chin and looked at Zheng Ming.
"Speaking of which, when I first met you, you made me feel very different. I've seen people who came down from heaven in the village, and you look like them.
How to describe it? It's not the kind of strong man who is arrogant and arrogant. It's something more restrained. Like a beast that lives at the top of the food chain all year round, it naturally exudes self-confidence.
I can't quite describe the feeling, but it's fascinating. ”
Bai Su's keen insight frightened Zheng Ming. In his previous life, as a human being at the top of the earth, Zheng Ming's mentality and temperament were indeed slightly different from those of the creatures here.
This is the foundation of the group at the top of the food chain in the first half of life, and it is also cultivated by a completely different environment and education.
Exuding this sense of racial pride, belonging, and self-confidence that looms there, is not something that can be changed overnight.
Because of this, after hearing Bai Su's words similar to those of the person who fell from the sky, Zheng Ming's guess that the person who fell from the sky became more and more determined.
"Sister Bai Su, how can I see the people from heaven. When can I depart for Starland? ”
In response to Zheng Ming's impatient question, Bai Su stuck out his tongue mischievously, and after rubbing his little head fiercely despite Zheng Ming's dodge, he said with satisfaction.
"Wash the stains off your little face first, and then change your clothes. After that, let's worry about how to get to Starland. ”
After speaking, she picked up Zheng Ming, who was full of unhappiness, and walked towards her home.
