Chapter 161: Mundane Things

Life without change is a pool of stagnant water, and over time, people's mental state will become numb and depressed.

And an overly varied life is not necessarily a good thing, and if you are entangled in the distractions of the world, you will lose yourself unconsciously.

Life needs meaning, value, and recognition.

As Paul Kochagin, the protagonist of "How Steel is Made", famously said.

The most precious thing about human beings is life, and each person has only one life. A man's life should be spent in such a way that, when he looks back, he does not regret that he wasted his time, nor is he ashamed of his past inaction, so that when he is dying, he can say: "My whole life and all my energies have been given first to the most magnificent cause in the world—the struggle for the emancipation of mankind." ”

Maybe we don't have the lofty ideals of Paul, but different lives determine different values, ordinary choices can also create ordinary greatness, just like the ordinary workers who build bridges and roads, without them, how can we have our modern transportation network extending in all directions, just like the cleaning workers, without them, how can we have our clean and bright city...... All walks of life, countless, this is the ordinary greatness.

Chen An's life is neither extraordinary nor great.

It is only when he learns the truth that he realizes that he is just a pathetic puppet.

No freedom, no value, no meaning.

Such a life is purely for the purpose of achieving the unknown purpose of the mysterious substance in the mind.

Just as the character you have been controlling in the game suddenly has a mind of its own one day, what will the game character think? It will find that the meaning of my existence is only to satisfy the spiritual satisfaction of the game controller, for the gold, for the level, for the equipment to keep fighting and killing, is this the life it wants?

Now Chen An is the same as the hypothetical game characters, they don't agree that this is the life they want, since they don't agree, there will inevitably be resistance, the problem is that he can't even commit suicide now, how easy is it to resist? Even what he thinks and thinks is probably clear to the other party.

To become stronger, only by constantly becoming stronger can he have the capital to resist.

This is the only answer that Chen An has come up with.

After having the ultimate physical fitness of human beings, Chen An inevitably had a fearless inflated mentality, and now he feels ridiculous when he thinks about it, this strength alone, I am afraid that it is a third-rate commodity in the real martial arts world, if it is placed in the future science fiction and Xianxia desolate world? In the previous world, in front of the state apparatus of modern society, he was cautious like a mouse in the gutter, and he would never dare to swagger in front of people, and this alone made him realize his insignificance.

In the real world, Chen An is still preparing for the interview of civil servants step by step, life must go on, he will not let his bad mood affect his normal life, otherwise it will only bring unnecessary trouble to his family and friends around him.

Although the parents who get along day and night will inevitably notice his abnormality, they can easily get their parents' understanding by pushing off the pressure of the interview, thinking about the college entrance examination that year, the closer the college entrance examination is, the more taciturn they are, and when the college entrance examination is over, the pressure is completely released, and people seem to have changed.

Don't look at Chen An's lawlessness in the other world, but in the real world, he is no different from ordinary people, he should eat, drink, and play, and when he was on vacation on Labor Day, he also took his parents to Qiongdao for a trip.

Time passed quietly, with the success of the civil servant interview, successfully passed the physical examination and political examination, Chen An, who entered the training stage, basically stabilized his life in the real world, and even took his mother to frequently introduce whose daughter, for which Chen An was quite crying and laughing.

Whenever he saw a sketch of Alex framed in front of his bed, Chen An's mood felt mixed.

Emotionally speaking, he feels guilty about Alex.

No amount of justification can wash away the stain on his question of men and women.

The encounter is fate, but fate plays tricks, and this relationship is destined to end without a problem.

After all, no one knows whether he will be able to live in the future, whether he will be able to return to her world, and whether he will be able to let go of his parents in the real world, like a husband caught between the conflict between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it is difficult to say.

"I said you should get a girlfriend to get married, right?"

Xiaobao knocked melon seeds on the dining table and said a word intentionally or unintentionally.

"Even you came to persuade me to get married?"

After hearing that Chen An was admitted to the civil service as he wished, Xiaobao took the initiative to call to congratulate him, and by the way, he "blackmailed" Chen An with a celebratory meal.

"What? Do you want to be single for the rest of your life? Or have you not forgotten Lin Hui?" Xiao Bao spit out the skin of the melon seeds, took out a cigarette and smoked it leisurely. "Actually, it's okay not to get married now, the province has a lot of troubles when I get married, you see me now, I have to hide in the balcony toilet when I smoke at home, and I work hard in the wind and rain every day just to earn milk powder money for the child, but my wife still hates this and that all day long, do you say I'm easy?"

"This is the end of greedy for a moment's pleasure!" Chen An quipped.

"Alas...... Anyway, my brother has been trapped in this life, as a lesson from the past, I didn't think clearly that I really have to be cautious before getting married......" Xiaobao shook his head and sighed.

"I said, do all the men you married like to talk about these topics?" Chen An said.

"What can I do, let the troubles at home bother me every day, and my brother is uncomfortable if I don't say it!" "If you used to be single, you were carefree, you wanted to talk about anything, you wanted to do whatever you wanted, but now as long as you go back late, I can guarantee that there will be countless phone calls and text messages urging you to go home immediately. ”

"I see that you are suffering and happy, and I can't understand how you feel now as an unmarried person. Chen Andao.

"My wife has a few sisters who are still good, why don't you come out and get together to see if it's suitable?" Xiao Bao glanced at Chen An and said. "It's rare to eat a free meal from you, don't blame the brothers for not being righteous!"

"Did I say you're acting out of righteousness instead of pushing me into the fire pit?" Chen An said with a smile.

"Be serious, get down to business. Xiao Bao said with a serious face. "My wife has a sister who is really good, fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged, graduated from a prestigious university, and is now a teacher in a local key middle school, I heard that many people are chasing her......"

"It's okay to see you, but after I'm done. Chen An thought for a moment and said.

"What are you waiting for! Maybe everyone will run away with others after you finish training, this kind of thing can't wait!" Xiao Bao Lei resolutely decided. "That's it, in two days and a weekend, when the time comes, I will ask my wife to bring her sisters, and we will go to the Qingxi Dam for a picnic and fishing, the opportunity will be created for you, it depends on whether you can catch it!"
