"Tick, tick, cleaning done"

With the sound of a mechanical alarm, the barrier between the head and foot of the bed slowly opened. The white gas that came out gradually dissipated into the air. This is a therapeutic, an intelligent machine that stimulates metabolism and promotes cell regeneration, which can rejuvenate people and eliminate diseases.

It was already the tenth and last day he had been lying inside. His name is Xu Shan, and everyone calls him "Old Xu", and he is the only person in Lazy Town who has a job.

Every time he woke up from the healing body, his appearance would change from an uncle in his forties and fifties to a young man in his early twenties. But alas, his memory went back to three months ago.

I don't know if it's the first "three months ago", and the past events that he finally remembered have been erased again. There was only one thing left in his mind.

Delivery out of town.

But instead of rushing out, he put on a pair of in-ear headphones and walked into a glass room. Then he picked up the toothbrush in one hand and pressed the switch on the wall with the other.

[How much love can come back, how many people are willing to wait]

As the music sounded, he began to twist his waist. He knew how bad his dancing was because now he was mentally clear, but his body was not. So when he turns the joint, the bones will also make a crisp "click" sound.

But he was already immersed in the music, and of course he didn't notice any changes in his body. Ignoring the ultrasonic waves that were coming at him, the dust was shaking off his body.

With a bath towel around him, he went downstairs without any scruples. He had nothing to fear, for he was the only living man in this room...... and countless kinds of intelligent machines, the kind of machines that continue to develop and "improve" out of human laziness.

When he stepped into the first floor, the machinery in the kitchen stopped. Out of it came a half-human-tall butler-type robot, holding a hot meal in his hand. As soon as he sat down, a cup rose from the table and was automatically filled with his favorite drink, beer.

"No, no, I'll have to drive later!, no alcohol!" he said bitterly.

The cup was obediently drained of the beer and refilled with a refreshing cup of hot tea. At this moment, the butler-type robot also placed the plate in front of him, and took out a pair of chopsticks and placed them on the side of the plate in a proper manner.

"Thank you, thank you for your trouble. ”

"Sir, it is an honor to serve you. ”

He picked up his chopsticks and ate them without saying a word. The butler-type robot retreated into the corner satisfied, turned off the power on its own, and quietly awaited his next command.

Everything is beautiful, Lao Xu thinks.

In a blink of an eye, it was noon, and he combed his hair and looked like a man. Then he took his most important thing, a notebook, and went out.

Lao Xu's first destination was a smart machinery production factory on the west side of Lazy Town. Most of the smart machines in the town are produced there. However, he did not go there to buy for his family, but to get goods out of town for export.

The intelligent machinery produced in Lazy Town is also well-known in the market and is very popular. So on Lao Xu's notebook, a bunch of words are densely packed with orders, all of which are orders placed by others.

Perhaps in other places, picking up goods is a very monotonous and tedious job. But in Lazy Town, it's different, it's the most anticipated part of Lao Xu's work.

He does not need to "grab" the goods one by one according to the number of orders. He just needs to face the control system,

Just dictate the contents of his order. The rest of the work is left to the machine.

At this time, he would sit down, sigh a pot of tea, and admire how the huge factory was working in an orderly manner. He always keeps his eyes on a product, watching it assemble step by step, watching it get painted and waxed, and finally watching it box sealed.

From start to finish, only half an hour has passed. As soon as Lao Xu was a little sleepy, a slender robotic like bamboo came to him and handed him a tablet.

"Mr. Xu, please count the number and confirm your identity. ”

"Okay, I just wanted to get some sleep, and you're all done. Lao Xu took the tablet and flipped through the delivery documents.

"Mr. Xu, due to your dormancy and fatigue level, the system does not recommend that you sleep. If you need to take a break, the system can arrange a lounge for you. ”

"No, no, I'm laughing, no rest. Heck, it's not early, I need to hurry. ”

After Lao Xu matched the numbers, a palmprint scanning device was immediately opened on the metal shell of the robot. He expertly reached into the device, and after some scanning, he quickly confirmed his identity.

"Mr. Xu, your goods are in the No. 3 warehouse. Due to the small volume of cargo this time, it is recommended that you drive a small and medium-sized truck. ”

"I know this. ”

"Need a system to help you arrange a truck?"

"To be honest, I'm not used to driving those trucks that you arrange. You know, it's all autonomous, it's not interesting. Lao Xu said with an aggrieved face, "I'd better drive my own." ”

"Okay, it's confirmed that there is no need to arrange a van. Mr. Xu, do you need to help with truck maintenance?"

"No, no, I can do it myself. ”

"Okay, confirmed that there is no need to arrange truck maintenance. Mr. Xu, do you need any more services?"

"No, no. ”

"Okay, welcome and wish you a great life and all the best. ”

"Good...... Thank you......" Seeing the robot walk away, Lao Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "The service attitude of these robots is really good." ”

In a blink of an eye, Lao Xu had already driven his truck to the No. 3 warehouse, and the goods he wanted were neatly stacked at the pick-up gate. He turned the car, opened the cargo door, and slowly backed away until the cargo compartment jammed into the groove of the pick-up opening.

Lao Xu took a sip of tea, pressed the button to pick up the goods, and the system scanned his warehouse. At the same time, the goods that had been stacked began to change positions like stacked blocks according to the situation of the warehouse, until they could be just stuffed into the warehouse.

He took another sip of tea, and the goods had already been transported to the hold. The originally empty warehouse suddenly didn't even have a single gap.

"That's it!" Lao Xu tightened the lid of the teapot, and then smiled contentedly.

On the way out of town, Lao Xu suddenly felt hungry. He couldn't help but wonder, didn't he eat enough at noon?

You know, in order to maintain a good figure, he hasn't eaten much for a long time. For the middle-aged fortune, he will not accept that it is inevitable to die, and he is not willing to lose sight of his toes when he looks down. So, even if he was hungry, he didn't plan to eat anything.

But at this moment, the smell of pancakes wafted from nowhere, which made the hungry old Xu suddenly excited. He hurriedly stepped on the brakes, his eyes widened, and his neck craned, searching left and right for the source of the scent.

In the south of the town, there is only one family that makes pancakes, and that is Gu Chengzi's home.

Lao Xu

As soon as he saw the smoke rising from his house, he immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove to his door. But what surprised and disappointed him was that many townspeople came to Gu's house, and they had already lined up in a long line, and it was estimated that they would have to wait at least half an hour to eat a bite of pancakes.

"Oh, these people are really greedy! For food, they are actually willing to wait for so long!" Lao Xu said angrily, "I don't see them on weekdays, but when I want to eat, I line up in a long line!"

Lao Xu turned the steering wheel and was about to leave, when he saw a townsman munching on a pancake and looking intoxicated. Not only him, but other people who ate the pancake were as if they had taken ** medicine, and they were intoxicated.

"Ouch, just wait!"

Turned off the fire, locked the car, and Lao Xu rushed to the team with an arrow. In front of him were ordinary townspeople, who had no job and only knew how to eat and sleep. Therefore, their appearance here is enough to make Lao Xu feel surprised.

Perhaps, only this kind of food can attract these big lazy insects out of the house. And don't hesitate to brave the scorching sun and line up here. Lao Xu thought to himself, this must be their maximum amount of exercise.

"Hey, Lao Xu, you're here to eat pancakes too!" shouted one of the people in front of him.

"Man, you're there too!"

The person in front of him is Lao Xu's neighbor, and the two don't have much intersection on weekdays. And as soon as Lao Xu went out of town to deliver goods, it would take ten days and half a month, so they rarely met. That's why this encounter is so unusual.

"Yes, today is the last two days of the city's opening. If it is too late, it will take more than half a month to eat. By the way, Lao Xu, I rarely meet you here. Have you just woken up and felt hungry?"

"Ouch, you're right. I was just driving out of town when I smelled the scent and ouch, I couldn't stand it. ”

"That's right, empathize! You say, why is this city so different from our dormant cycle! You can eat good pancakes in these two days in a month!" said the neighbor, wiping his saliva.

"Two days, no. Lao Xu suddenly asked suspiciously, "Isn't the pancake machine still functioning normally after the city goes into hibernation?" If you want to eat it, just eat it directly." ”

"Lao Xu, you don't understand. The pancakes produced by the Chengzi family are also divided into good and bad, which is directly related to whether the city wakes up or not. ”

"What's the matter, isn't it all made up by machinery?" Lao Xu was confused.

"It's a big difference, when the city is awake, he will personally supervise the operation of the machinery, and sprinkle some seasoning when appropriate!

"Man, you're exaggerating. ”

The neighbors and Lao Xu walked into the gate one after another, but they didn't expect that there were still five or six people in the room who had their turn. Seeing that Lao Xu was still suspicious, the neighbor continued.

"It's not an exaggeration at all, you don't believe it, ask everyone. They only came to eat while the city was awake. ”

In the courtyard there is an intelligent machine for making pancakes, and Chengzi is intently counting the seconds, and at a certain time, quickly opens the lid and sprinkles a handful of seasoning powder. In another five seconds, a hot pancake slipped out of the exit.

And the person who buys the pancake does not need to do any extra work, just take the paper bag and put it on and leave. This is because at the moment of entering the door, their consumption process is over, and the amount to be paid or the goods to be exchanged, is already deducted in the background.

"How good the intelligent era is," Lao Xu sighed, "those guys in Greedy Town will never be able to understand it." ”
