Chapter 13 Time Planning Bureau
Of course, what Li Huan wants to try most now is to let the "Mirror Flower Water Moon" release it to himself, to see if he can confuse the connection between the eyes and the brain, and send the external world perceived by the "Mirror Flower and Water Moon" directly into his mind, instead of his eyes.
There is no need to consider the question of whether the sword has eyes, it is better to say that there are as many people as there are people around.
The result was successful, and Li Huan saw the world again, although the perspective looked strange.
For the first time, he saw his pure white eyes, without a trace of black, like a canvas that had been re-wiped and ready to be smeared.
With the help of the eyes of the woman in the room, Li Huan looked at the surrounding environment.
An ordinary house with a dΓ©cor and items that look like the beginning of the 21st century.
Looking down, the first thing that caught his attention was a series of numbers on his left forearm, glowing green, like a luminous watch.
This is...... Time Planning Bureau?
Li Huan recalled this dystopian movie at once.
In science fiction movies, dystopia is a very interesting genre, and many well-known directors have tried it, some have failed and some have succeeded.
This "Time Planning Bureau" is not considered a success, but its setting is very attractive.
In all such movies, the background setting is a major feature, which people can't forget even after a long time.
It doesn't matter if it's reasonable or not, it's the irony and sublimation in its core that are the theme.
The Hunger Games, The Matrix, Torn Apocalypse, Hunt Monday, and more, but none of the movies point to the ultimate human imagination β time!
In a world where everyone stops aging when they reach the age of 25, and the digital watch on their wrist begins a year-long countdown, the only way to continue living is to earn more time through various means.
So, here, the value of everything can be measured in time. You can buy a cup of coffee in three minutes, and add a sugar cube in one minute; Two hours to be able to take the bus home from work.
Rent, utilities, loans, ...... It's all calculated by time, and people's wrists show not only their remaining life, but also their entire net worth.
And the class remains, and the rich squander their time as they please, enjoying it forever. At the same time, in order to solidify the class, the rich destroyed all advanced weapons, leaving only simple facilities.
Even the so-called Time Keepers only have an improvised pistol to carry out their missions.
"It seems that the treasure that the acting owner said is the endless time of this world." Li Huan realized.
From the elixir of immortality to the Time Planning Bureau, he suddenly figured out what most people in the arena world were chasing.
Not just a mighty force, but eternal life.
In this way, you will not only have time to slowly strengthen yourself, but you will not be afraid of failing the mission and being trapped in a certain world for decades or hundreds of years and dying of old age.
It's no wonder that the average boss in the lazy arena is an old monster who doesn't know how long he's lived. Li Huan said in his heart.
But in addition to time, we also try to tap into the residual value here. For example, practice English first, and then learn how to make pistols, how to shoot guns, etc.
Once you set a goal, you will be more empowered to act.
The woman Li Huan met when he came looked very young, and when he asked, he realized that he was 60 years old, so forget it.
Walking out into the street, there are people in a hurry, and this is a factory area, the equivalent of the old world slums.
Everyone will not have more than the remaining time of two days at most, and Li Huan will not be able to get much even if he harvests them all.
Eating big is the last word.
The rich areas are far away, and the checkpoints set up along the way also prevent the poor from entering.
"Do you know how to drive?" Li Huan asked.
"No, no one can afford a car." The woman replied truthfully.
Well, it seems that the first skill you need to master is driving.
As a new youth in the era of traffic jams, Li Huan naturally can't drive, he can't afford it, and he can't shake the license plate.
"How far is the bank from here?" He asked, looking at the week remaining on his wrist.
"It's down the next street."
After walking for more than ten minutes, I saw a narrow store with an iron fence closed.
"This is the bank? Why don't you open the door? Li Huan was puzzled.
"Because I can't use it, no one has a deposit."
It's really miserable, the dark era of capital exploitation.
Li Huan shook his head, walked over and looked inside the fence for a while.
"In other words, there's no time to spare."
"Of course."
What a mistake, this place is too clean.
"Where is the extra time, factory?" He thought for a moment and asked.
"The factory's time is sent in every day when the wages are settled, and now there is nothing." The woman confessed, "But the time raiders here should have extra time. β
True, there are robbers in such a poor place, or only here are robbers.
As you can see from the movie, the time raiders are almost acquiescing from the top, replacing the police, so that everyone here does not dare to accumulate time, so that no one is idle enough to rebel.
"Then go to them, where are they?"
"I don't know."
Yes, if they knew, they would have gone from being raiders to being raided.
Li Huan thought about it for a while, and ran to the nearest bar, making everyone hallucinate, thinking that he saw a hundred years of time balance on his wrist.
The bait is released, and the fish will naturally take the bait.
The bar was very noisy, Li Huan didn't want to admit it, but it was indeed the first time he had entered this kind of place. He ordered the most expensive liquor and spent a year, certainly the year that the bartender thought it would be.
Two words, unpleasant!
In this poor place, everything is a castrated version.
It didn't take long for the noisy crowd to dissipate, and three young people walked in at the door, no, there were only young people here, so how old they were, no one knows.
The leader was dressed in a plaid suit, his eyes were full of harvest joy, and he said in a mocking tone: "Hello, my name is Foster." Your watch is beautiful, do you think it will fit me well? β
After saying that, he also smiled and looked at his two younger brothers, and the younger brothers laughed awkwardly twice very cooperatively, as if this low-level joke was really funny.
Li Huan stared at his belt, a revolver on his belt to be exact.
"Your gun is beautiful, I want to try it too." He said honestly.
"Hahaha." The raiders burst into laughter.
The leader smiled: "Boy, if the lady next to you makes this request, I will definitely meet her, you better forget it." β
However, in the next second, he was horrified to see his hands obediently pull out the gun and respectfully hand it to Li Huan, as if he was begging for training.
By the way, he also took out the car keys from his pocket and presented them with them.
Li Huan smiled: "If you are not honest in your mouth, you are still very honest in your body." β
