Xiaoxiao's Odyssey Chapter 280 The World
Came to the watchtower in the highest and most central part of the imperial city, with their past memories, Chu Xiaoxiao and Zhou Qingqiu quickly bypassed the guards and boarded the watchtower from a small path, while taking this one of the few elevators that use electricity, Chu Xiaoxiao sighed deeply, the manufacture of this elevator was only exchanged for her at her expense, but after so many years, it seems that there is still only this elevator leading to the highest part of the observatory in this imperial city.
After coming to the top of the lookout, Chu Xiaoxiao took off her mask, revealing her dignified face (qíng), looking at the high-density residential area around the imperial city from a distance, and then looking at the royal city, there are still simple wooden houses, and there are even few two-story rooms, although there are other human gathering places on this planet, but there are obviously not as many people in those places as the imperial city, and they are naturally not as representative as here (xìng).
"Qingqiu, how long do you think a race can last if it really doesn't develop technology and relies purely on elemental power?"
Facing Chu Xiaoxiao's question, Zhou Qingqiu also looked solemn, on this issue, he didn't think about it, after sorting out his thoughts, he said to Chu Xiaoxiao: "Actually, I think that a society like this, which simply relies on elements as the driving force and takes people's consciousness as the management benchmark, should not last long." ”
"There will be such a situation here, I think there are two important places, the first is that the sense of trust between people is high enough, maintaining this kind of society requires complete trust, once someone has doubts (qíng), the order will collapse instantly, not to mention that the people here are not like the earth humans have no elemental control, everyone here is carrying out cultivation, in the past in the process of exploration, the rapid progress of individuals will cover up the shortcomings of this model, Because everyone is working in a certain direction, but now it's different, Xiaoxiao. ”
"According to what you said (qíng), before you left, the resources on this planet were no longer enough for everyone on this planet to enjoy sufficient resources, whether it was a new person or an original person, as long as they fell behind a little in the process of accumulating resources, then that person would not be able to compare to the resources accumulated by others."
"Because the resources here are a valuable thing, a thing that can make people break through the bottleneck and reach a higher realm, so when resources are in short supply, there will inevitably be an accumulation of resources, so that there will be differences between people, and this difference is beyond strength."
Zhou Qingqiu said as he came to the edge of the top of the observatory tower, where everything seemed so small that he could even see the slowly rising night on the horizon.
People seemed to have lost their temperature, and as night fell, a dazzling light bloomed above the tower of Xianyang City, making the light of the entire city seem like day, Chu Xiaoxiao stepped forward at this time, and explained on the side of Zhou Qingqiu's (shēn):
"People here almost don't sleep, as long as the elemental energy is passed through the body, you can complete the (shēn) body innovation equivalent to sleeping for eight hours."
"Xiaoxiao, actually, I think that your brother's situation should not be an isolated case, and it should be a common phenomenon after the reduction of resources." Zhou Qingqiu watched while looking at a certain corner of the city, a person was trading with another person with a forged title deed, and after the transaction between the two people was completed, he immediately transferred the title deed to another person at a higher price, and even exchanged the names of the three of them in order to trade this title deed.
Zhou Qingqiu handed Chu Xiaoxiao the telescope with the video function in his hand, and he was thinking about this somewhat special society of cultivators. And when Chu Xiaoxiao finished reading the transaction of these three people, Chu Xiaoxiao understood that the change had begun to change from the moment the accident happened.
Chu Xiaoxiao was a little confused, the sacrifice of so many people was exchanged for the fact that there were people on every planet with life in the constellation who could survive, but now this kind of sacrifice has become the reason for the change in the entire society, but if you don't make those sacrifices, even the rest of the people will not be able to survive.
Looking at this lost Chu Xiaoxiao, Zhou Qingqiu was also a little distressed, but this is an inevitable law, and the distribution on demand that can be maintained for so long is based on unlimited resources, but now there are no unlimited resources for them to exploit, and limited resources will naturally appear like this, although this kind of thing (qíng) is a bit cruel for Chu Xiaoxiao, but this is also something that Chu Xiaoxiao must face (qíng).
"Qingqiu, otherwise, let's go home." After thinking about it for a long time, Chu Xiaoxiao finally said this sentence, this hometown is no longer like the beautiful hometown she once remembered, that simple and upward city only exists in Chu Xiaoxiao's memory at this time, which makes Chu Xiaoxiao have a great sense of contrast, and it is a little difficult to accept for a while.
Zhou Qingqiu looked at this Chu Xiaoxiao, who was a little dazed, and couldn't combine her with the appearance of that cold beauty at all, maybe only in front of Zhou Qingqiu, Chu Xiaoxiao would show such a side.
"Here, or Earth?" When the difference between reality and the world you imagined is too huge, people's beliefs will change, sometimes it will make the will more firm, and sometimes, it will make people more helpless, Chu Xiaoxiao obviously belongs to the latter, Zhou Qingqiu naturally understands that the top priority now is to restore Chu Xiaoxiao's confidence, after all, for a person who has been away from home for so many years and has sacrificed a lot, this is an extremely cruel thing (qíng).
"We're going to Earth."
"Xiaoxiao, we still have to face these things (qíng), let's go back and meet your parents." Zhou Qingqiu knew that Chu Xiaoxiao just needed a reason, a reason to face the next world that was completely different from the world she expected, and now Zhou Qingqiu could only just hold her like this, and then comfort her.
"No matter what happens (qíng), I am by your side (shēn), and I will always be with you."
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the brightly lit city again, her eyes were full of dazedness and fear, she originally thought that her brother was just a special case, but when she knew that she was a special case, she no longer had the confidence she had in the past.
"Let's go back." Raising her hand weakly, using the light element energy as a signal, to show her family her position, if everything in the family has not changed, then they should not forget her favorite thing (qíng), which is to look at this world from a high place, at first she just thought that her realm and vision were higher than everyone else, but now Chu Xiaoxiao found that when something (qíng) really came to her (shēn), she was actually not so relieved, Although she also knows that this is an inevitable law, the hurdle in her heart seems to be difficult to cross.
It didn't take long for the gate of the palace to slowly open, and Chu Xiaoxiao also saw this change, and together with Zhou Qingqiu, she stepped into the home that she had dreamed of.
