Chapter 322: Feast at the Top of the Tower
Humans are afraid of time.
Time fears the pyramid.
Outside the elevator is the top of the pyramid, and on top of the small stone block is a snow-white dining table.
It was already dark at the moment, and the stars were shining overhead.
Mr. Yuki and Mr. Miki are sitting at the dining table, bathing in the starry sky.
"Good, so pretty." Rey complimented heartily.
"Haha," Miki-sensei smiled, "It's really beautiful, and the strength of Miss Lulu's technical team shouldn't be underestimated." ”
"Indeed." "But in addition to the strength of the technical team, aesthetics are also very important. ”
"Yes." Miki-sensei agreed.
"Here," Mr. Xing said slowly, holding up a turquoise wine glass, "it's very similar to your Time Games." ”
"Oh?" Teacher Miki suddenly became interested, "Tell me about it." ”
Rey and Sora were also intrigued by the topic, and they each picked up a chair to make a sato.
"You see," said Mr. Xing, pointing to the sea of sand under the starry sky, "we all know that this desert, this pyramid, and this starry sky are not real, but they are created by various technical means, but in it, we still have a feeling of being fascinated, isn't this just like the games in your Time Game Workshop?" ”
"Well," Miki-sensei said, brushing his bohemian beard, "that makes sense. ”
"The second point," Mr. Xing took a big sip and continued with the strength of the wine, "even if we are in the province of Pharaoh at this moment, sitting at the top of that thousand-year-old pyramid of Khufu, can we see such a picture?" ”
"I can't." Mukong said very dryly.
When he noticed that several people were looking at him, he explained.
"Well, I just went there not long ago." "Even though it's not difficult to go anywhere with so much technology, I think there's even less beauty to see now. ”
"Why?" Miki-sensei asked with a smile.
"Because, there are more and more people." "There are almost 20 billion people, and they are almost beyond the carrying capacity of this tiny planet. In order to survive, we compress the surrounding environment step by step, and while obtaining survival resources, we also destroy the harmonious environment and long-standing beauty. ”
"Makes sense." Miki-sensei smiled and nodded.
"You may not believe it," said Sora more and more, "although no one dares to touch a human landmark like the pyramids, our merchants are not simple. There is no such vast sea of sand, and almost all the sand has been artificially removed. There, the quicksand was cleared, the foundation was laid, and eighty-eight high-end villas were developed around the pyramids! ”
"Huh?" Rey was dumbfounded.
It's unbelievable!
Rey looked around, and he suddenly noticed that no one but himself was overreacting.
"Hehe," Mr. Xing smiled, "you're right. ”
"This," said Muku, pinching his big earlobe, "I'm ashamed to say it, because I like pyramids so much, so I bought one by the way when I went." ”
"Ah???h
Rey was even more dumbfounded.
By the way, bought one by the way?
It sounds like I bought a cabbage by the way.
Although he knew that this kid was very rich, his words were far beyond his own understanding.
Rey looked around again, and saw that Mr. Yuki, Mr. Miki, and Mr. Miki still had no response.
Aren't they surprised at all?
The rich man's world really doesn't understand it.
"Me too." Mr. Xing suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Sora looked over.
"I'm ashamed, I have one too." Mr. Xing said.
"Really?" Mukong suddenly became excited, "It seems that I really have a relationship with Mr. Xing, maybe we are still neighbors?" ”
"Really? Which one are you? Mr. Xing asked.
"Lyra."
"Oh, then we're not next to each other," said Mr. Xing, after a moment's thought, "I'm a Capricorn." ”
"Ah, Mr. Xing is still amazing, it turns out to be the zodiac." The shame of the empty eyes disappeared in an instant, and he said with regret, "I also want to buy a villa in the zodiac, but it turned out to be a step too late, and it was all sold out." ”
"So," Miki-sensei, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, "We're neighbors instead?" ”
"Huh?"
Soku, Mr. Yuki, and Rey looked over together.
"Haha, I'm an Aquarius and we're right next to each other." Teacher Miki said with a smile.
The conversation that followed naturally shifted.
From an indictment of the destruction of the human environment to a series of problems caused by the high-end community of the pyramid.
From the decoration style to the furniture arrangement, from the natural aesthetic to the soul home, from the eternal years to the ethereal future, in short, there is not a word that Rey can interject.
The topic slowly transitioned to discussing life.
This is normal, as a rich person, who has long been materially immortal, it is natural to turn his attention to spiritually.
It was a topic that everyone could discuss, but Rey couldn't interject. It's not because of my own shallow knowledge.
There is only one reason for this, that is, I don't have a villa corresponding to the eighty-eight constellations!
Just when Rey was embarrassed, the small door of the elevator opened again.
"The big dish is coming." A tall and handsome waiter said, holding a large silver plate in both hands.
"Haha," Miki smiled and ended the discussion of life just now, "Actually, we don't have to stick to the ethereal meaning of life, because it's not clear at all." What is the significance? Trying to do what you want to do, trying to live what you want to live is meaning! ”
"Yes." Mr. Xing drank a large glass of wine in one gulp, "I think so too." ”
"Me too, me too." Muku nodded repeatedly.
"So," Ms. Miki began to make a concluding speech, "Eating to your heart's content, drinking to your heart's content, and enjoying every minute of your life to your heart's content is the best gift to life!" ”
"That's right!"
Two guys who also own the villa couldn't agree more.
"This is," the handsome waiter respectfully placed a large silver plate on the table and untied the lid with a professional smile, "the signature dish of our little shop, a hundred birds and a phoenix!" ”
As the lid is lifted, a beautiful picture is presented in front of you.
In the center of the plate is naturally the unlucky phoenix that was chosen by Rey.
But at this moment, its eyes are blazing, its spirit is bright, and its two powerful wings are frozen in a state of struggling to dance. Two eyes looking at the sky, peaceful and holy.
Under its long tail feathers, there are more than a dozen birds of different sizes and colors. The head of each bird is facing the phoenix, and the eyes of each pair of birds are full of yearning.
An unheard-of aroma permeated the top of the pyramid.
It's a work of art that is full of flavor and color, but Rey has a very uncomfortable feeling.
"Several," the waiter smiled, a charming smile, "please take your time." ”
After saying that, the waiter turned around and left.
But the moment he turned around, through a few rays of starlight, Rey could clearly see the corners of his lips twitch!
This expression......
Rey looked at the few people who were in high spirits, and saw that no one had noticed the moment. In fact, even if they noticed, Rey knew they wouldn't understand what it meant.
But Rey understood.
It's an expression that only the poor can understand.
It's a silent indictment!
Poor people are always sensitive, and every time they find that the person next to them is showing off their wealth, intentionally or unintentionally, they will feel such a feeling rise in their hearts.
This is both a feeling of wanting to be otherworldly and not trapped by any mundane things, and a feeling of yearning for the life described by the rich. There is also a bit of deliberate disdain, a bit of sympathy for oneself, a bit of hatred for the rich, and a bit of hatred for the world.
In short, Rey understands that he was once such a person.
The handsome waiter must have heard the conversation between Miki-sensei and the others just now.
"What's the fuss?" Miki-sensei interrupted Rey's ramblings.
"Ah," Rey woke up from a dream, "it's okay, it's okay. ”
"Eat, it's a rare delicacy." Miki-sensei said as she sandwiched the dish into her small plate.
"And," Mr. Xing concocted, "it's still a rare dining environment." ”
"Finally," Mekuya added as he gobbled up and pointed to himself, "and there's a rare place to eat." ”
Looking at the messy eating appearance of the eyes, Lei really wanted to ask, didn't you kid just go down after eating?
For the poor phoenix, Rey still didn't dare to touch it, and he silently stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a bird that looked quite pleasing to the eye.
Naturally, this action did not escape Miki-sensei's eyes.
"How?" Teacher Miki said while eating with relish, "I still can't accept this phoenix?" ”
"No, no." Rey hurriedly denied it.
"Huh." Miki-sensei smiled and didn't ask any more questions, but focused on Meku.
"It seems," looking at the windswept clouds, Teacher Miki said with a smile, "Mr. Sun Shao is very satisfied with this phoenix." ”
"Satisfied, satisfied!" He said vaguely, "I don't know who picked this?" ”
“…… I. Rey replied.
"You?" Sora glanced at Rey and lowered his head to nibble again.
"I didn't expect that," he said as he ate, "I didn't expect your kid to have such an eye." The one I picked earlier is beautiful, and the meat is old and woody, far less tender than this one. ”
"Huh." Miki-sensei and Mr. Yuki smiled together.
Rey noticed that the two teachers were silently looking at each other.
At this moment, Rey suddenly felt that there must be something wrong with these two guys.
They must have been waiting for themselves to talk to Sora about something, and even reached some ulterior secret!
