Chapter One Hundred and Four
Li Xin is a native of Sbaiso.
At the same time, he is also the head of the Proprietor's Guild in Newfilas City, which is located on a distant land, and Li Xin doesn't know how far away, and the portal through the wormhole is just a "biu".
In fact, with his qualifications, he could have chosen to be the head of the city or the president of the branch in those extremely prosperous cities, but he still chose to come to such a wild place to help those who were once as poor as him and "not even qualified to be a beggar".
He was one of the earliest generation of the Guild of Owners, and he was in his sixties this year, but he was still as strong as he was when he was thirty years old, because he had become the powerhouse he once looked up to.
The common language within the Red Star Chamber of Commerce and the Industry Guild is Chinese, Li Xin is the group of people who are qualified to learn, after in-depth study of this language that carries wisdom and strength, he feels that the name of his "little pebble on the side of the road" is simply weak, and he can't show his bloodline, so he chose a surname that is said to be very prominent in Chinese, "Forever Faithful and Glorious Li" was born, and since him, his descendants will have the surname of "Glorious Li".
It was the proudest thing in his life.
As for why the lingua franca is Chinese, don't the natives have any complaints? It's really because the world of Swashvelland is too vast to be explored, and it doesn't seem to be the planetary structure that reincarnations understand, let alone the geocentric structure of the sanctuary world.
Some of the intelligent races here have existed for millions of years, and they have been repeating in the cycle of destruction-construction-destruction-reconstruction, dozens of continents, and there are more than 20,000 major languages in human beings alone, and if you count the above dialects and minor languages, this number will be magnified by ten times.
Except for some ancient characters that evolved from the most primitive elemental symbols as scripts, there are some commonalities. In the case of "carbon", if you want to accurately express this chemical element, translators need to create more than 20,000 new words in more than 20,000 languages, because 99.99% of the native languages do not have this word at all.
Language carries wisdom, because countless learnings are made up of these Chinese languages; Language carries power, because the way to become a strong person is also made up of these Chinese. In the eyes of countless people like Li Xin or other intelligent beings. Chinese is undoubtedly a sacred language, but I don't know that in the future, there will be a sense of immediacy and immediacy that there will be a sense of pride and immediacy - out of the bad taste of some people, the Chinese language spread in the Swashvillerand world has Sichuan, Shanxi, Northeastern, Henan, and Cantonese flavors......
If nothing else, it could become the lingua franca of the future of this world. Just like the English on Earth.
……
The refugee camp in Newfilas has been permanently located and has been officially upgraded to a slum.
Li Xin made ends meet, organizing laborers to trade for food, building houses out of planks, straw and clay, and teaching life skills to refugees...... Although deaths still occur from hunger and disease, everyone in the slums is full of hope, hopeful smiles and sincere gratitude, which is enough to inspire the enthusiasm of Li Xin and the staff like Li Xin.
The Guild of Operators has a good understanding of how to deal with the victims. There has long been a fixed pattern. These are all the experiences that the people of the Celestial Empire have summed up through the hardships of another time and space, and they have been tested by the reality of this world.
For example, some women and children were organized to boil and wash the rags and hemp collected in the city, and then dry them. The parts that can be used are laminated together layer by layer with paste, flattened and compacted with boulders, and then sewn with needles and threads after drying, cut into soles, and then made into shoes, that is, Baina shoes, which are light and breathable, and are also very comfortable to wear, but they are relatively easy to soak in water, and the most important thing is that its cost is extremely low and relatively durable, so it is very popular among civilians.
The parts that cannot be used are broken into silk strands and re-woven into thread or fabric. Such fabrics may not be sold, but refugees have no problem using them to protect themselves from the cold.
Refugees who can speak well and have good communication skills are selected in their daily work and formed - a tattered buying brigade, whether it is a commoner or a nobleman, over time, there will always be broken objects in the home, and it is a pity that they are not thrown away, and they are just sold to the collectors.
Slums have the advantage of human resources, sorting these debris and recycling them.
When these rag kings who walk the streets and alleys form a network, a rough intelligence-gathering network will be established, and the big and small things in the city will be able to know in detail.
In the slums, there is a system of centralized supply, that is, a big pot of rice. The use of this system is naturally because it is the most resource-saving and other cost-saving, and of course, it is improved, a reasonable competition mechanism can maintain the vitality of an organization or system, hard-working and capable refugees can have better treatment, can stimulate the enthusiasm of other refugees, and after using some effective control means, it can also increase the organizational power and influence of the industry guild on the "refugee" group.
The lower route is done by the industry guild, and the upper route is the "Red Star Chamber of Commerce", the specific method has been introduced before, so I won't repeat it here.
No matter what, Liu An is indeed changing the world little by little in his own way.

Every reincarnation that survives has experienced bloodshed.
Pain sharpens their will, killing expands their boldness, fear pushes most of them beyond ethics, and they fit the various theoretical definitions of the strong.
"I can't kill you, continue to do it next time, and one day I can kill you" is the true portrayal of most reincarnations, just like most fantasy protagonists, but this kind of plot looks very cool, and the blood is boiling and persevering, but when you face such a person, you will feel how cheating you are.
Imagine:
Suddenly, a man jumps up in front of you, looks at you with contempt and says:
"You are destined to fall tonight, to be one of the many bones under the throne of this king"
Probably everyone will want to say that seven-character mantra about "buying a watch......
Hehe......

After centuries of development, the Bunny Gang has basically disappeared from people's sight. Intelligence organizations like the C.I.A. may still have information about it, but that doesn't mean the gang doesn't exist.
Times are developing, and the godfather of the gang will not only smoke cigars, drink red wine and play with women, but also invest or participate in elections.
The Bunny Gang's organizational structure has become more secretive, and the forms of profit have become more diverse.
Take Hollywood as an example, almost 30% of the stars are controlled by the rabbit gang, but these stars themselves don't know. Don't talk about them. Maybe even their agents don't know, and even the entertainment company behind them doesn't know.
Just as buying a box of cigarettes is after taxes, the proceeds on the table are always left over after distribution, and controlling these stars is a huge resource in itself. As long as you have a normal investment vision, you know that with the diversified development of modern business and cultural fields, the proportion of entertainment industry in people's lives will become larger and larger.
So as the invisible female leader of the Bunny Gang, Louise knows very well what the appearance of the promotional short "Assassin's Creed" represents, representing the future direction of filmmaking and the entire entertainment industry.
Specifically, the technology contained in it.
In fact, the development of the entertainment industry on Earth is a testament to this.
There is never a shortage of visionary smart people in this world, and the only difference is whether they can seize the opportunity or not.
Louise doesn't care about the controversy about this short film in the newspapers right now, it's already there! All she cares about is how to get the company that makes it "Timetraveler Entertainment"!
It's just that this matter is not easy to handle, because the relationship between the two sides is not harmonious. His son Walker also suffered. Even she herself has just suffered defeat at the hands of the other party.
This made her a little unwilling.
Distraught, Louise clicked her fingers on the table inadvertently, not noticing the passage of time.
When she came to her senses, the clock hand was just pointing to 8 o'clock.
Louise couldn't help but pick up the remote control. Turn on the TV and tune in to Fox.
In order to stimulate ratings, Fox TV disrupted the order of primetime commercials, in fact, there is no order which ad airs first and which ad comes later, and the promotional video for Assassin's Creed itself is an advertisement, so no one complains about it.
After waiting patiently for a few minutes, various advertisements flashed, and when the screen went black and the logo of "Timetraveler Entertainment" appeared, Louise's attention reflexively focused.
Music, graphics, plot...... For Louise, it was a real pleasure to watch the short film every time, and it strengthened her determination to get the company.
When the advertising message appears at the end of the film, Louise's hand is pressed on the remote control, but she doesn't turn the channel or turn off the TV, just turns the volume down so that she can think about it next.
However, she was immediately stunned, because the screen went black again, and the logo of "Traverser Entertainment" appeared.
The first is the very interesting handwritten letters, like the doodles of a bear child.
"Louian & Peter, Ho-E-Made-This-Vidio."
(The screen was still black with the sound of happy laughter, but it soon lit up, first the hand-drawn characters, various shapes, and finally the white hood image that appeared in the short film, in addition to many characters and props, British soldiers, American militia, two-wheeled artillery, arquebus...... There are also a lot of physical photos, next to these characters and prop renderings, 3D renderings later appeared, and 3D renderings are still rotating at multiple angles, showing that the makers did not work behind closed doors, but after detailed investigation and evidence collection in advance)
(Background sound)
"No, no, these moves are too fancy, Connor is a killer, he pays attention to one-hit kills, the movements must be concise and effective, and in order to effectively avoid and maintain the center of gravity, he will definitely not use such an attack action as kicking"
"OK, I think I get it"
The frame cuts to a studio with a green background, a white teenager wearing a uniform with a large number of original metal films, and numerous wires attached to each of them, on a very thin screen in front of the camera. It shows a three-dimensional figure composed of lines, and as the white boy makes various movements, the three-dimensional line figure on the screen also makes corresponding movements.
Louise knew a little about the special effects of the film, and immediately saw that the green background was the monochrome set set up in the movie to replace the picture, and she quickly noticed that the metal discs on the strange wire uniform worn by Peter were basically the same as the nodes on the three-dimensional line figure on the screen in front of the camera.
The white boy constantly makes simple punches or attacks with a weapon in his hand.
"I still think my moves are pretty cool"
The white teenager suddenly made a very difficult volley triple kick.
"Then Connor will be sifted by human range too."
Off-screen, a teenager with only a voice said with a smile.
(Background music "rise" plays)
The three-dimensional line figure on the screen switches backgrounds. And it fills the entire TV screen. This figure, with only lines, first has angular skin, then a resolute face, slightly exaggerated muscles, and a white hooded outfit. Weapons, equipment, etc., and finally became a junior character with an obvious 3D production effect.
(Discussion rings)
"There are too many muscles, and this toned muscle explosiveness is okay, but endurance and agility are not good"
"Are you saying that Connor would wilt if he had this muscle and would have wilted after defeating three monsters?"
"Well, we've seen reports that long-term aerobic exercise doesn't work out this kind of muscle."
(As the two discussed, Connor's renderings gradually changed, and his muscles became more streamlined and fluid.) The details are also more refined. No edges and corners at all)
(This is followed by a screenshot of the game, showing Connor in white in the snowy jungle, cleanly using his hand axe to kill one enemy after another, the scenery and characters move finely and smoothly, and the blood gushing and splashing snowflakes are lifelike)
"sh [beep] it. This snowforest scene alone took so long, but ...... Yes! It's fun, come on, come on, watch me crush you like a cookie."
"We can't do this kind of work in a year, so we just need to complete the main setup, and then we can hire a professional artist to do the set work."
(The screen switches again, a topographic map with a high and wide viewing angle)
(Entering the fast-forward mode, the meadows and the bays in the distance of the woods gradually appear, and then the ravines and trenches, one by one, the models of the British soldiers and the American militia are inlaid into this scene)
(A more hilarious shot appeared, with a class photo appearing on the screen)
"The first cannon fodder with a frontal close-up is the image of Walker, right? Who told him to always bully us honest students"
"Which one?"
"It's the stupid guy who spoke disrespectfully to you on the day you transferred to another school"
A 3D avatar was quickly built on the screen, which was at least nine points similar to Walker.
(Louise: ...... )
"But it's illegal to use other people's portraits indiscriminately, even the newspapers that report me these days are marked with mosaics and black bars, not to mention that his face is too young."
"That's simple, we're like this, make him look 30 years old, and then like this, I see that the information says that opium was rampant in Europe at that time, and most people were addicted to drugs, making him look like an addict, so that even his mother can't recognize him"
"Ah...... How much enmity do you have against him?"
"Let you rob me of the villain book, let you rob me of my pocket money, let you press my head down the toilet...... (Broken thoughts)"
"What a big grievance......"
Walker's avatar aged rapidly, his cheeks and eye sockets were sunken and pale, implanted on the body of a British soldier. Then the camera turned and switched to the section where the white-clothed Connor Divine Soldier descended from the sky, the British general "PIA" was cut by the protagonist with a screen full of blood, and knelt down with a boxed lunch, and there was a commentary behind.
"You wonder how happy the boys in the class would be to see this"
(Louise covers her face in pain, and again: ......, she can even hear the loud "sh [beep] it!") coming from her son's room. ”)
(After that, it's fast-forward mode, and the soldiers on both sides who are embedded into the scene have been modified in detail according to the celebrity faces, such as the commander of the American militia, which is eight points similar to the historical one)
At this point, the video was played, and many viewers laughed in front of the TV, and then it entered the climax.
“hat? Do you want to play the background soundtrack yourself? ”
"yes, don't worry, look at me"
First, the piano solo, an Asian teenager with a ponytail sits in front of the piano, playing the prelude to "Rise", which is exactly the same as the one played in the promotional video, and the clear sound of the piano comes out from under the boy's fingers.
When it comes to the ensemble part, it is slightly different, the picture of playing the piano turns into a small square, shrinks to the upper left corner of the screen, and there is a shot of an Asian teenager playing a violin solo, the solo has no artistic conception and momentum of the ensemble at all, but immediately, the picture of the violin solo is also turned into a small square, and three rows appear on the screen, and in each small picture, there is an Asian teenager playing the violin at different angles, and the original performance effect is immediately restored.
Then, images of Asian teenagers playing cellos, orchestral instruments, and rhythm dumbbells were all reduced to small squares and arranged on the TV screen.
Until the end of the last note.
Then the black screen.
In front of the TV, countless Americans and their friends (if any) were stunned.
Such a widely acclaimed promotional video was actually made by two bear children!? Especially the classic symphonic background soundtrack, which was played by just one person?
(I hesitated for a long time in the first half, but I still wrote it)
(Recently, I watched Xinhua News Agency's video about Lei Feng's rumors on the Internet, to be honest, although I was mentally prepared, I was still a little disappointed after reading the comments, Lei Feng's spirit is the essence of the humanistic evolution of all mankind, even if it is put in the United States, it is the same anywhere in the world, looking up to heaven in hell, not believing in and yearning for beautiful things, is it yearning for the "strong" who fights monsters and upgrades, kills people and grabs treasures, hehe [softly]...... )
(If you insist on dividing the camp, below is the brain-dead fans of the great human race, and if you have to distinguish the region again in this group, below is the brain-dead fans of the earth's human beings, Asia, and the Chinese nation, that's all)
