17 The Big Mac

Bai Mu's 'demon' voice sounded, "Give me dinner first." You can't play until you've eaten. ”

The three of them were lifted to the table by an invisible force and sat down before they were freed.

Lao Li sat on the main seat with an expressionless face. The robot Mei is placing food on the table.

The three of them hurriedly greeted, "Hello dad (good uncle), thank you Xiaomei." ”

The robot Xiaomei responded politely, "No thanks." ”

After Bai Mu also sat down at the table, Lao Li said calmly: "Eat." ”

Bai Chengcheng and the three of them dared to use chopsticks and devoured them quickly.

Bai Mu smiled and asked, "How is it?" ”

The three of them looked up at Lao Li together. When the Bai family eats, Lao Li has always insisted on eating without saying a word.

This time it was very rare, Lao Li was silent and ate silently.

Lu Youzhi saw that Lao Li did not object, so he said proudly: "The second layer of exercises, the second layer of boxing, only footwork is still the first layer." ”

Fan Gongming was also very proud, "The second layer of exercises, the first layer of boxing, and the second layer of footwork." ”

Bai Mu looked at Bai Chengcheng. Lao Li also pricked up his ears.

Bai Chengcheng wrapped rice in his mouth and said vaguely: "It's better than them." "His exercises, boxing, and footwork have completed the second layer and entered the third layer. Corresponds to the ninth order of the martial artist, which is equivalent to a martial artist. A month to advance from a martial artist to the samurai stage, that's not just a demon, it's simply a pervert.

Although the words were vague, Bai Mu and Lao Li were very pleased.

Bai Chengcheng was secretly surprised, he seemed to see the smile on Lao Li's face. When I looked closely, I still had a cold face. He wondered if he had seen it wrong or was hallucinating. Mom is free-range, and dad is strict. But who made my mother's status high? That kid doesn't like to play? Therefore, Lao Li Nubai Chengcheng is indisputable, and rarely gives him a good face.

More strange things happened, Bai Chengcheng could be sure that his father peeked at him from time to time. I touched my face, and I didn't feel anything abnormal. I didn't dare to ask, so I had to continue to bury my head in eating.

Bai Mu asked again: "What about the cultural class?" ”

This time, Lu Youzhi and Fan Gongming both waited for Bai Chengcheng to speak first.

Bai Chengcheng, "I should be able to take the top three." He was referring to the top three in the class.

Bai Mu smiled: "Can you win the top three?" ”

Fan Gongming hurriedly said: "I don't dare to guarantee that there are two scholars, Feng Rulei and Liu Xingye." ”

Lu Youzhi nodded again and again, "That's it." ”

Lao Li suddenly spoke, "Feng Rulei came to look for you. ”

Bai Chengcheng sighed, indicating that he understood, and continued to eat. Bai Mu and Lao Li both looked at Bai Chengcheng, didn't notice anything unusual, glanced at each other, and stopped mentioning this topic.

Bai Mu said: "How are you going to explain your rapid progress to your classmates and teachers?" This is the main reason why she insisted on letting Bai Chengcheng and the three of them eat first and then play. If the caliber is not uniform, it is easy to cause trouble.

Bai and Lu were surprised, "Can't you say it?" ”

Fan Gongming was thoughtful.

Bai Mu looked at Bai Chengcheng and Lu Youzhi angrily, "Ask the monkey." ”

Fan Gongming said: "I really can't say. Auntie, is this hood the original ecosystem? If it's man-made, that's better. ”

"Oh." Bai Chengcheng finally understood.

Bai Mu said: "Even if it is man-made, according to the family background revealed by the three of you, it is also a crime." Let's just say that this holiday season, your families have spent a lot of money on tertiary enhancement liquid. You've strengthened your abilities and accidentally developed your brain. ”

This explanation barely works. The college entrance examination is approaching, and although the state can ensure that everyone goes to college, there are high and low schools. Parents who want their sons to become dragons and their daughters to become phoenixes are normal to spend money to strengthen their children at this time. The reason why I say reluctant is because the chance of activating an ability during the enhancement process is extremely small, less than 1 in 100,000.

Fan Gongming nodded, "That makes sense." But we don't have any powers. ”

Bai Mu said: "Why not? Well, let's just say teleportation. Floating Light Glimpse Level 2, which is similar to teleportation in the eyes of ordinary people. The master can see it, but it can also explain that the success is still low and not skilled enough.

Big Bear says it's kinetic energy absorption. Transporting the Heaven Swallowing Technique, it can indeed absorb the physical attack energy of others.

What about oranges, well, copy it. Whether it's a cultural class or a martial arts, you can remember it at a glance.

There are also boxing techniques that cannot be easily known by others, especially not letting people know that you have so many exercises and boxing techniques.

Whatever you name. Orange said that he practiced family Tai Chi, and your father often practiced it anyway. Big Bear's boxing method is called Thunderbolt Boxing, which is domineering. The monkey's fist technique is called the Five Elements Palm, which is ordinary. All memorized. ”

The three of them agreed in unison. This really needs to be kept secret, or because of the guilt. The system is a rarity, and the high-level exercises and boxing methods are not villain books from roadside stalls, and they are all treasures of various factions, and they will not be easily leaked. Coveting other people's exercises and boxing is a big taboo. The weak who have no ability to protect themselves have high-level exercises and boxing techniques, which are children holding gold bricks and swaggering streets.

Bai Chengcheng asked, "What about the hood?" You can't just use it at home forever, right? ”

Bai Mu, "After eating, I'll help you fuse it directly on your head, anyway, the skin is thick, and it doesn't matter if you add another layer of skin." "The thick-skinned statement is, of course, a joke.

Fan Gongming, "Then, what should I do to wash my face?" ”

Bai Mu grinned, "What kind of face do you wash, shameless." ”

The three little ones couldn't laugh or cry.

After the meal, Bai Mu asked the three of them to put on their hoods and snapped their fingers.

"That's it?" Bai Chengcheng was confused.

"Look in the mirror." Bai Mu pouted.

The three of them scrambled to the mirror, and the hood disappeared over their heads, leaving even their hair unaffected. You look at me, I look at you, I touched my face, I didn't feel it.

Fan Gongming shouted, "Study." "The panel in front of him lit up, and a book list appeared. He shouted again, "Close." The book list disappears, and the view returns to the room.

The three of them did not feel ecstatic, and they had long been surprised by the magic of the cypress mother. Bai Mu still gave them a surprise, "The head cover also has a function, easy to disguise." You can make three or five different faces, store them in the headgear, and number them. When you need to be disguised, just call the number. ”

"Wow. This is good. "It doesn't matter if you need to be easy to tolerate, at least it's fun.

"Let's think about it slowly." Bai Mu and Lao Li went downstairs, leaving the upstairs space for the three of them.

There is no urgency in the matter of Yi Rong, and he will go to the second world first. I haven't been in for almost a month, and my heart is itchy.

They don't go in and play games, they all have jobs they love.

Bai Chengcheng works as a handyman at a mecha repair shop. There are not many things to do, and the salary is not high, so you can see different mechs every day and come into contact with various mecha parts. Isn't it just to help clean up the parts and tools that have been replaced by the maintenance technician after he finishes his work? If you're lucky, you'll be able to touch the complete mech.

Lu Youzhi's job is a sparring partner in a martial arts gym. The family background is average, and there are no good boxing techniques and exercises. When sparring partners can see different kung fu. Although all the sensations such as pain are completely real, they are not really killed in the second world anyway. I am in a hurry to go in today, of course, to experiment with my own kinetic energy absorption. In the second world, it is also possible to cultivate realistically, so the absorption of kinetic energy is also real and effective.

Fan Gongming is a small minion of a gray and black gang. Fight and hide in the back, the fastest kind to escape. He is small and thin, and his peers are not forceful, and often play some roles such as sentry or intelligence gathering, that is, the city fox society rat.

Bai mother pet and Wu, the second world link cabin is seven units when you buy it, three of your own, and two of them give two units each, so that these three guys can go to the Internet together. Fortunately, they are not poor families living in state relief housing, otherwise there would not even be enough places to put them. The link capsule is a sphere with a diameter of two meters and a half.

The location where the three of them appeared in the second world was not Xufu City, the First Emperor Star, but a small apartment in Lu Huaishen City, Xuanzong Star in the Tang Dynasty Star District. The three of them bought the room together. (Hualong named the star sector after the dynasty, the living planet after the emperor, and the city after the celebrity.) Lu Huaishen was one of the prime ministers of the Tang Xuanzong period. )

Xuanzongxing is one of the famous machinery manufacturing centers of the Hualong Federation, and all kinds of machinery manufacturing plants are spread over almost the entire planet. Even in the commercial area, the wide avenues are almost entirely lined with shops selling finished machinery, spare parts and mechanical repair shops.

On the street more than 200 meters wide, people and cars come and go, and it is very prosperous. There are also many mechs that are either running on the ground or flying through the air. This is not possible in the real world.

Hualong has always had the strictest control over civilian weapons of destruction. But in the second world, this ban is almost non-existent. It's not that the second world doesn't have laws, the second world also has a state, because even if the second world is a copy of the real world, real enough to make it true, it's just a digital world after all.

All the feelings of people in the second world can be completely and truly reflected on the human body in the real world. However, the laws of the second world only apply to the second world, and do not affect the real world. If you are sentenced to imprisonment in the second world, the person who is punished will be offline, and you can go online again after the sentence is completed. Even if they are sentenced to death, people in the real world will not die, but they will only be canceled by the second world company and will not be allowed to go online for a month. After a month, the 'deceased' can re-register a signal to enter, which is equivalent to a rebirth.

The reason why the laws in the second world do not affect the real world is because the second world is one of the three god-level giants in the world, and the state has no right to require the second world company to provide the correspondence between personal accounts and personal identities in the real world.

In addition to the Second World Company, the other two companies are StarSource Bank and God's Perspective. They are beyond the constraints of the state, which is a very bizarre and helpless phenomenon. The shareholders of these three companies are unknown, and legend has it that they were opened by aliens or even gods.

Is there anything that can't be found in the interstellar era? There really is. In the era of the earth, there are places like the Cayman Islands that are extremely lenient and highly confidential about registered companies, not to mention the Orion era.

Of course, StarSource Bank is in the currency business, but it is not a currency issued by various countries, but an energy currency issued by itself. And a currency that is separate from governments can exist? But it exists, because StarSource Bank is guaranteed by energy as reserves, not various precious metals such as gold.

In the interstellar era, it was difficult to maintain the value of any precious metal, such as gold and platinum. It's precious because it's scarce. However, the starry sky was everywhere, and people found huge reserves of gold and platinum deposits on some mineral planets, so the value of gold and platinum depreciated rapidly, and the gold standard monetary system naturally collapsed.

Won't energy depreciate? I'm sorry, but the output of energy can never keep up with human demand. StarSource Bank initially issued energy bills, which were in terms of energy, not in terms of energy substances.

People borrow energy instead of money from StarSource Bank, and with StarSource Bank's energy bills, they can extract the corresponding amount of energy substances from any StarSource Bank's business office, such as pure hydrogen, or deuterium-tritium, helium-3, etc., which are used for nuclear fusion. In theory, the energy produced by the combustion of one kilogram of hydrogen is 28,914 kcal (about 121034 kilojoules, 33.6 kilowatt hours), which is defined as one star element.

In other words, StarSource Bank is also an energy company. The question is does it have that much energy? There really is, no matter how the run is, Xingyuan Bank has never missed an appointment. Every branch of the branch, no matter how large the amount of cash withdrawal, they can pay.

The same is the extraction of energy, and the technology of Xingyuan Bank is ahead of its time, and it can extract hydrogen from pure hydrogen planets. No other country can do this, because the aircraft use high-temperature engines, which can easily lead to the fusion of hydrogen isotopes. At worst, the ship will be destroyed and people will die, and in the worst case, the pure hydrogen planet will become a sun. In addition, their mysterious low-cost shipping, efficient and cheap.

With these two points, Xingyuan Bank has crushed all private energy companies, and only a few state-owned companies have survived on state subsidies for a long time. This is not a matter of choice, and the country must have corresponding energy reserves to ensure that the fate of the country is not controlled by others.

No country wants its economic lifeline to be in the hands of a private company, but there is nothing they can do about StarSource Bank. If you use anti-monopoly laws and other means to force the company, I'm sorry, Xingyuan Bank can not do your business. Other countries can obtain stable and cheap energy supply through Xingyuan Bank, but your country's energy must be self-sufficient at a high level, which has an undoubted impact on the speed of development and comprehensive strength.

So what about the direct robbery of Xingyuan Bank? Each of its sales offices can pay infinitely, and the energy storage of the energy bank must be terrifying. Someone tried, and what they got was a few robots and some network equipment, and they couldn't see a single gram of energy. Then, the robbers, whether official or gangster, no matter how hidden their identities were, no matter where they were hiding, died inexplicably without a place to be buried, without exception.

Fortunately, StarSource Bank abides by the laws of various countries and the general rules of the world, except for anti-monopoly laws. The most important thing is that these three god-level giants will never interfere in the internal affairs of various countries, nor will they take sides in international disputes. The big boss also never shows up and does not associate with any powerful people. Gradually, countries have to accept the fact that it has become an absolute oligarchy in interstellar finance and energy before energy technology catches up with and surpasses StarSource Bank. Xingyuan has become the only international currency that distinguishes it from other currencies.

It is conceivable that Lu Youzhi Fan Gongming's parents learned that Bai Mu was actually the big boss of Xingyuan Bank, and their shock was so huge that it was suffocating.
