Chapter 7: The Pilgrimage I
In June, the sky is high and the sky is high, and the white and purple Marbury flowers are in full bloom in the holy city. This is the busiest time for Tori City, because every 3 years the Double Glory Day is approaching, and the number of pilgrims from the three empires to Torrey City is innumerable.
The population of the Orris Empire is about 350 million, and the city of Torrey, as a religious holy city and the capital of the empire, has a permanent population of less than 20 million, no way, except for the necessary industries such as clothing, food, housing and transportation, in order to maintain the original appearance of the holy city, no other industries are allowed, and the natural population will be less if there are no jobs. It is precisely because of the pilgrimage once every three years that the GDP of Torrey City skyrockets.
The people of Torrey City often say that either it will not be opened, and it will be open for three years, and the consumption level of Torrey City is well-known all over the world, 10 to 15 times the consumption level of other cities, and many people at the bottom of the society will even spend 10 years of savings in order to participate in a pilgrimage, in addition, in order to ensure the survival of these basic industries, the empire also has special tax subsidies every year, and the policy welfare is inhumane.
At this time, there is still one day before the Shuanghui Day on June 12th, and the Gu Yi family has made preparations for nearly a year in order to participate in this pilgrimage.
"Lan, what do you think of this," Gu Xingchen waved his fingers, and changed his face to a style of goggles, this head-wrapping style of goggles took advantage of the fact that the bridge of her nose was higher and straighter, and the ponytail tied up was more straight, and at the age of 6, she began to take off her babyish state to reveal a hint of youth.
"This is good, this is good, beautiful and sassy," Yilan looked like a fanned sister, no way, their sister and brother inherited the advantages of their parents, the sister is more like a father, with a hint of pickiness in the eyes, the bridge of the nose is straight and the nose is round, although the lips have no special characteristics, but on this face, it is very coordinated.
"What about me, it's still the last one," Gu Xingyan asked, doing various shapes in front of the mirror with goggles.
"Let's go to the last one, you don't look smart to wear the round one," Xingchen walked over to his brother and stretched out his hand to straddle his shoulder, and posed a few poses together.
"Sister, can't you say that the last one is good-looking, can we speak in affirmative sentences No, you hit my young heart like this," knowing that it was useless to say it every time, Gu Xingyan still did not give up his efforts.
"Nope." With that, she turned off the hologram, patted her brother on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go, let's go buy goggles." ”
Ilan nodded like pounded garlic and immediately followed.
"Lan Lan, don't you pick and choose, let's help you consult," Gu Xingyan said as he picked up his coat.
"She looks good in any of them," Gu Xingchen replied.
The three of them walked out of the hotel and walked towards the mall, at this time the streets were full of people, there was no private spaceship speeding in the air, people's travel was basically on foot, occasionally someone used the ground glider to travel, but also pay attention to the speed, this is the rule of Torrey City, all kinds of aircraft are strictly prohibited in the city, no buildings and aircraft can not exceed the height of Torrey Holy Mountain, with action to express the reverence for faith.
Soon they came to a shopping mall in the business district, a clerk greeted each other with a smile, even in the face of three children, they still maintained a professional smile, Ilan couldn't help but secretly sigh, no matter where the money ability is omnipotent.
"I'm glad to serve you, do I need to recommend a style for you," the three of them were led to the largest display booth in the store, and the eyes of dry sales were vicious, especially the sales in Torrey City, and she could judge their consumption level from the clothes of the three children at a glance.
"I want these two, and then you bring this and this one to me, and I want to try it on for my sister," Gu Xingchen chose two styles for Yilan, one lens is heart-shaped, and the other is petal-shaped, she thinks this kind of cuteness is the most suitable for Yilan, and after choosing these two, she confidently gave Xiao Yilan a look that believed that I was not wrong.
Yilan could only reply with an embarrassed and polite smirk, hey, sure enough, no one is perfect, God gave Gu Xingchen a perfect appearance and character, but the aesthetic part is unbearable.
Quickly swept around the booth, and found that in addition to the two models selected by Sister Xingchen, there were also some curious styles, in order not to let the scene get out of control, Yilan quickly chose a heart-shaped one among the two styles, and a quick decision is the best policy.
After buying goggles, the three of them were about to take a stroll in the mall, when Xingchen's bracelet rang, it was the parents who were busy with tomorrow's pilgrimage, calling the three children to have a big meal, and the three of them rushed to the Blue Planet Hotel in a neat line, in the matter of eating, several of their tastes were surprisingly consistent, not to mention that the Blue Planet is the most famous chain hotel in the empire, and the menu of the tori store is even different from other places.
Back to the hotel, come to the starry sky restaurant on the 15th floor, three people were infected by this atmosphere, the roof of the restaurant is composed of scattered round crystals, each piece is moving according to a certain speed and trajectory, all kinds of crossover and complicated patterns appear in turn, the best thing is that no crystal will collide together, and there will be no open-air situation because of movement, Ilan was shocked by this wave of operations, which is simply beyond her imagination.
Until the end of the order, Ilan always raised her head to observe the crystal roof, for more than a year, the frequency and duration of her data cloud use has always ranked in the top 10% of the primary database, but it is still repeatedly refreshed by the technology of this planet, look at the sister and brother opposite, in addition to the initial curiosity, now has been attracted by the night view of Tory outside the window. I have to sigh that she is really ingrained in this earth, and her mindset kills people.
After a while, the dishes were served in turn, and the hotel had a professional guide to introduce the characteristics of the restaurant during the serving process, which was really an eye-opener for Ilan.
"Thank you for choosing the Blue Planet, choosing the Crystal Sky Restaurant, the crystal sky above your head at the moment is the representative work of the famous B1 senior mechanical designer Mr. Swan, it is composed of 18,864 crystals, controlled by 30 A2 intermediate operators at the same time, it is the largest crystal sky on the whole planet." The docent's demeanor shows his admiration for the design.
Today, Ilan has really seen what it means to exterminate humanity in Howe, and the ability of Hailar Star is divided into three major levels, from weak to strong, it is divided into A-level, B-level and S-level, and each big level is divided into 3 levels, 1 to 3 levels, the smaller the number, the higher the level. If Ilan remembers correctly, last year, that is, the Ephemeris 2037 Global Ability Level Census, the population of Hailar Star was about 1 billion, and the population with ability to reach level A was 91.800%, which was the lowest proportion ever, and the population with ability level B was 8.199%, while the population of class S was 0.001%. B1 level is the ceiling of the elite class of the planet except for the royal family, so use the ability to design the crystal roof? Is the daily task of an A2-level person to control the movement of the crystal tablets?
This really can't be blamed on Ilan, it is really the earth thinking to occupy the high ground, she automatically designed the crystal shed roof to the carpentry ceiling in the decoration, and the operator to the bricklayer brick, which is really a contrast between men and women, but from the content of the work, there is no problem with this number, but the gap in social classification and technical content is the opposite.
With the crystal sky taking the lead, the next variety of dishes that break through the thinking of the earth are no problem, and when the final payment is made, it still refreshes Yilan's perception of Hao again, and this meal costs a total of 300,000 star coins, eating up nearly 2 months of Dad's salary.
After returning to the hotel room, Ilan lay quietly on his bed, looking sideways at the night view of Tory City outside the floor-to-ceiling window, without the interference of the aircraft, the sky seemed to be closer, Torrey Holy Mountain stood quietly not far away, tonight's Elan Star was particularly bright, and the flickering lights of the temple on the top of the mountain could be seen faintly, where someone might be chanting hymns.
Xiao Yilan secretly made up her mind at the moment and added an important content to the planning for the next few years, that is, from now on, she should make targeted career planning, she must abandon the earth thinking, only choose the expensive ones, not the right ones, both superpowers and money abilities must be grasped with both hands, both hands must be hard, and in the infinite reverie for the future, Yilan fell asleep sweetly.
