Chapter 29: The Meaning of Life
What does it mean to have an impact on a world?
Strictly speaking, as long as the outsider "exists", the impact is continuous.
Even if outsiders don't do anything and don't interfere with anything, just being in this world will inevitably have an impact.
Take an alien human as an example, they will consume a certain amount of calories every day, breathe air, make carbon dioxide, and so on.
It is not in a narrow sense that interference in the so-called "plot" is the impact.
Lin Zhengyang put aside the so-called "plot" early in the morning and made his own.
Because after all, this is not a simple anime, but a world.
The world is so big, the so-called "plot" is just one of the silhouettes.
Even if there are no so-called plot characters, the world still exists.
This is Lin Zhengyang's understanding.
"The question now is, what else do I want to do besides the task? What can I do in this world? ”
Lin Zhengyang asked himself.
At first, I came to this world inexplicably, and I didn't have time to think about it at that time, I just wanted to settle down, have a stable place to live and solve the problem of food and clothing.
But······ What now?
What else can I do besides the tasks that I can do and don't do?
What should I do?
"I really envy those reincarnators who live in the infinite space of the ancestors, one task after another, the time is tight, and there is no time to think about these things······ Ha, I'm also hypocritical! ”
Shaking his head, Lin Zhengyang threw the finished cans in his hands into the sorted garbage bin next to the vending machine.
"There's no obliteration to force you behind, there's no tight task, you can easily get anything you want······ That's why I have the strength to think about such a lofty thing. ”
Ordinary people exhaust all the energy of their lives just to survive and live a better life.
But for him, none of them are applicable.
No matter what status or power he gains in this world, it is meaningless, because he will not settle here after all.
So······ He was confused.
"What the hell am I supposed to do?"
"If I were an office worker, I would go to work every day, clock in, and then naturally my boss would assign tasks, complete them, get salaries, bonuses, and then seek promotion······· There are goals and motivation to push yourself. ”
"It's hard, but you can live life to the fullest."
"But that's just a mechanical response, it's not my own goal, the Lord God may have a mission, but you can't just make it a goal to complete it······· Probably, this is the intention of the Lord God? ”
"Find your own meaning in life?"
What is the meaning of life?
To live, just to live?
Maybe ordinary people are like this, living mediocre, they have already done everything they can just to survive, so there is no need to talk about this topic.
But not so for reincarnations.
They don't need to pay off their mortgages, they don't need to buy insurance, and they don't have to worry about retirement, because it's almost impossible to die of old age······
Therefore, Lin Zhengyang felt that perhaps this newcomer world was giving him time to think about this issue.
Of course, this is just his personal speculation.
Even if it's not, it doesn't matter.
He felt that he had fallen into a state of confusion, at least, to find a goal for himself, or something to do.
Well, it's better to be interested in yourself.
In this way, you will not live empty.
"Well, Gray Yuan Wai is doing a good job, she lives a very fulfilling life every day, either going to school, or playing with the juvenile detective group, and she will inevitably be involved in at least one murder every week, she is very fulfilling!"
Lin Zhengyang decided······ Go and have some fun!
Gray Plains went to school.
It is worth mentioning that she came up with it herself.
But every day, Lin Zhengyang would drive to pick her up and move from Dr. Asasa's house to her home, a coffee shop downstairs from the Maori Detective Agency.
In reality, it's actually closer to the protagonist Conan.
The original name seems to be Polo Cafe, and it is a classic Japanese structure.
Where the Maori family lives, it is a common apartment.
On the first floor is a coffee shop, and the owner is an old friend of Mori Kogoro, but it doesn't seem to have appeared in the original book.
The second and third floors belong to the Maori Detective Agency.
The Maori family often eats at the coffee shop downstairs······ Yes, this coffee shop doesn't just sell coffee, it actually functions as a convenience store.
Now Lin Zhengyang has taken over the café.
As a result, he and the Maori family became upstairs and downstairs neighbors.
The result········
"Uncle Lin, what is your relationship with Gray Yuan?"
This is a washing machine for a certain eighteen-year-old high school student named Detective Kudo disguised as Shota (the pronunciation of Shinichi in Japanese is very similar to a washing machine in Chinese).
Hehe, you tender washing machine·····
Lin Zhengyang just thought that he wanted to have some fun and do something interesting to enrich his life, but no, a wild "washing machine" ran over, pretending to be stupid and cute, trying to talk nonsense.
"Kid, why don't you go to class? Could it be skipping class? That's not good! ”
Lin Zhengyang bent down, pointed his index finger at his flat glasses, and smiled:
"As for my relationship with Gray Plains······ You can ask her yourself! ”
"Damn······ If I can, will I come to you? ”
Conan's heart spurted wildly, but his face was still well-behaved, and he replied in a milky voice:
"Because the school leaders have something to do today, the teacher left class half a year early."
"Uncle Lin, are you the uncle of Gray Plains?"
Conan darkly accentuated the word "uncle".
Lin Zhengyang showed a bright smile that could be called dangerous·······
You did it on purpose, right······ Washer?
I look like I'm in my early twenties, right? You actually call me uncle?
Those really seven-year-olds are called that, you think I don't know you're a high school student?
You're on the verge of death········
"Conan, do you like Grayplain?"
Lin Zhengyang saw a figure out of the corner of his eye, so he asked deliberately.
"Huh?"
Conan was caught off guard by this through ball.
"This, this ·······"
He couldn't think of a good response for a while.
Lin Zhengyang nodded thoughtfully:
"Sure enough, Conan likes Grayplain!"
"But what about Ayumi? Listen to Genta and them, Ayumi likes you very much······ Are you going to pursue both Gray Hara and Ayumi at the same time? ”
Lin Zhengyang shook his finger and said:
"This is not good, a man who is too attentive will be suppressed with an iron fist."
"Well, this, no, haha, I still like Gray Plains a little more·······"
Conan rubbed his head narcissistically, said a little embarrassed, and then continued to ask:
"Uncle Lin, you haven't said it yet, what is the relationship between you and Gray Yuan? Why does she live with you? ”
As he spoke, a hand suddenly reached out from behind him and grabbed his ear.
"Sorry excuse me, Mr. Lin, Conan has caused you trouble···········"
Subsequently, there were!
Maolilan, who had horns on his head, like a demon, with a heartbreaking smile, dragged Conan up the stairs step by step.
"Painful ······"
Conan was in tears, and was carried upstairs by the merciless Xiaolan's ears.
"Lan, listen to me, it's really not what you think······"
Faintly, there was the dull sound of fists smashing against sandbags, followed by a pig-killing cry.
Boom ·····
The ceiling shook violently.
Then, everything was quiet.
Lin Zhengyang held a cup of bitter coffee and tasted it slowly.
"Really······ Pleasure ······"
He felt like he had suddenly found meaning in life.
If you can be so happy every day, maybe life will not be so boring.
