Chapter 22: The Times
Next, in order to understand what has happened in the past two hundred years, Su Yun specially went to Qingyun Bookstore, the largest bookstore in Qingyun City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It is said to be the largest, because there is only one bookstore in the entire Qingyun City............
With the collapse of industrial civilization, the living standards of the entire human world are regressing in an all-round way, and the things that were originally available everywhere have become luxuries, and books are one of them.
Because of the regression of technology, it is far more difficult to make paper than before, and the quality of the paper produced is also worse, so it is more unsuitable for printing a large number of books. Ordinary people can only read some enlightenment books, simple literacy and arithmetic are enough, and those cultural ones are basically the exclusive products of the aristocratic and powerful.
Qingyun Bookstore is very large, about the size of Xinhua Bookstore on the earth, and the first floor is full of the most ordinary books, which anyone can read. On the second floor, there are books about professionals, or all kinds of aliens, and only professionals or children of nobles are allowed to go up.
Therefore, Su Yun did not hesitate to go up to the second floor, only to see an eleven or twelve-year-old little Lori sitting behind the counter at the door, dressed in a simple and simple white robe, holding a thick book and reading carefully.
"Hello, I would like to ask where are the books on history and geography?" Su Yun said softly and politely.
Little Lori raised her head and glanced at him, a hint of blush appeared on her little face, and she whispered, "In, in the fifth column of the third row on the left." She seemed to be a little afraid of life, and her beautiful sapphire eyes looked at him curiously, and her silver hair was supple behind her, like a timid little animal.
"Thank you." Although Su Yun is not Lolita, cute things always make people feel good.
He found the row of bookshelves according to the instructions, and saw that they were all books related to history and geography, so he randomly picked a copy of "General History of the New Calendar" and flipped through it.
Two hours later, he picked up some books and barely understood the current situation.
It's generally not much different from the game world, only the details have changed.
Thousands of years ago, a heavy rain of aura came, and the entire human civilization turned a corner. Countless human beings have died tragically at the hands of aliens, and have even been hunted as prey, thus forming the concept of respect for the strong in human society.
After all, only the strong can protect a human race, so that ordinary people will not be wantonly killed by aliens; Only the strong can go deep into the wilderness and hunt those monsters; Only the strong can resist the invasion of foreign races......
Therefore, a hundred years after the catastrophe of annihilation, the human race has reoccupied a lot of territory, and some heaven-level powerhouses have abolished the original system of equality and freedom to ascend the throne and establish a feudal kingdom!
Today, there are five kingdoms in mankind, the kingdom of Xiahua, the kingdom of Artes, the kingdom of Babylon, and the kingdom of the Holy Light. Among them, the Kingdom of Olympia is actually the kingdom of ********, located in the original Europe. The kingdom of Babylon was located in Central Asia, and the kingdom of Artus was the gathering place of the remaining humans in the original Americas.
And he is in the Xiahua Kingdom, located in the original Huaguo, the royal capital is the original Nanjing, now renamed Jinling City!
In addition to these five kingdoms, there are also academies, each of which has a heaven-level powerhouse, and even the royal family can't provoke them at will.
What puzzled him the most was that there was no king in this world, and the strongest was only a quasi-king. It seems that the whole world is rejecting the king, and too strong forces are not allowed to stay in this world. In the game, there are five peerless kings, each of which is enough to suppress one side.
However, there is no king in human beings, and alien races cannot descend on kings, at most, there are occasional projections of kings and the like, which is not a big deal.
And most importantly, for thousands of years, all the original five continents have been moved together, forming a pan-continent similar to hundreds of millions of years ago!
The ocean has become a forbidden area for humans, and it is infested with countless powerful monsters.
And on this only major road, in addition to humans, demons, underworlds and other alien races have established their own power territory.
To put it simply, mankind is always facing the crisis of extinction, with alien races eyeing each other outside, degenerate and fallen people conspiring to destroy mankind inside, and all kinds of cults running rampant......
"Hey, what's your name, little sister?" The whole history is a history of disaster, which made Su Yun's mood extremely heavy after reading it, so in order to make his mood easier, he chatted with the white-robed little Lori.
Little Lori looked at him shyly and whispered, "Sister Liu won't let me talk to strangers, and I'm not small - you don't look much older than me, why do you call me that?" ”
Ahem, Su Yun touched his nose and realized that he was only a twelve- or thirteen-year-old kid now, but he had gotten used to this appearance for so many days, so he continued to ask, "Then what kind of book are you reading?" ”
"Strange Tales." The little girl closed the book and put it on the table and asked him to look at the cover.
Uh, there's still a book? Su Yun was surprised and asked, "What a coincidence, I have also read this book, and many of the monsters in it are very kind, better than humans." ”
"Well, that's it, I like the baby Ning and Nie Xiaoqian in it the most." The little girl smiled when she heard this, as if she had met a book friend, and no longer had the previous fear of life and timidity.
"Ah, shouldn't you be a little girl like a scholar like Ning Caichen, or a hero like Yan Chixia?" Su Yun was surprised.
The little girl shook her head, and was about to say something, when she suddenly looked at the door with a happy face, Su Yun only heard someone say behind him: "Ah, yes, you know how to seduce a little girl at such a young age, boy, your future is not small!" ”
Su Yun listened to the voice very familiar, and when he turned around, he saw that it was the beautiful killer he knew!
"You, how did you get here?" He couldn't help but take two steps back, looked at the other party with some wariness and said.
The woman was dressed in hot black leather armor, showing off her beautiful figure to the fullest, so that several men who were reading couldn't help but keep sneaking a glance.
"Well, little brother, you are so ruthless, but my sister saved your life in the first place, how can you do this?" The woman grinned, and despite his resistance, she reached out and put her hand on his shoulder.
Su Yun hates others treating him as a child the most, but now he has discovered the advantage of his current body, that is, he is particularly pleasing to girls. Therefore, he did not continue to resist, and blushed slightly to enjoy this benefit.
As for whether he took advantage of others or others took advantage of him, then ......
"Sister Liu, when did you come back?" Little Lori got up and walked in front of the two, and asked with a happy face on her little face.
The woman let go of Su Yun, reached out and pinched her little face and said, "I just came back today, and I will come to see my cute little Ke Ke in a while!" ”
"Hmm, Sister Liu, you hurt me." Little Lori pouted, looking very cute.
The woman surnamed Liu hugged the little Lori and turned her head to look at Su Yun, looked at Su Yun with a smile and said, "Little brother, don't like this guy, otherwise something will happen that I look forward to!" ”
Xiao Lori's face turned red when she heard this, and Su Yun looked inexplicably wonderful, and opened her mouth to ask, but the other party left with a mysterious face, as if she came here just to take a look at Xiao Lori.
"Goodbye, Sister Coco. By the way, brother, my name is Su Yun. He greeted him in a friendly manner and left the place as well.
"Well, goodbye, Brother Su." Little Lori's voice was soft and sweet, and it sounded very comfortable to him, and he barely understood a little bit of Loricon's thoughts......
On the street, a young man in black was walking briskly, when he saw someone suddenly rushing in front of him, and instinctively flashed to the side.
The moment he misturned, he saw the person's appearance clearly, a young man with a thin body and dark eyes. Judging by the small white lady's bag that he clutched tightly in his left hand, it seemed that the man had stolen someone else's things and was being chased.
But what's my business!
Su Yun did not hesitate to stand aside as a spectator, he was not the kind of second-year teenager with a strong sense of justice, so naturally it was impossible for him to get into trouble because of someone he didn't know.
What's more, he clearly knows that this kind of person is often an organized underground person, and he can't say that he will bury his life because of his enthusiasm.
The teenager, who was suspected of being a thief, burrowed into a nearby alley and quickly disappeared from his sight.
"Hey, why didn't you stop him?" At this moment, a girl in a silver robe trotted over breathlessly, looked at him and questioned angrily.
