Chapter 4: The Centennial Federation
Before the creation of the Confederation, this land was full of wars and people's livelihoods. At that time, people were still living a life similar to the ancient Chinese imperial rule. However, due to the sudden appearance of mysterious symbols, a large-scale war was triggered, and it was out of control ever since. The various forces united to overthrow the imperial power, and then went their separate ways. It wasn't until more than 100 years ago that a genius was born, ending the strife and founding the Federation. And 360 federal cities have been built on this land to lead everyone to develop new technologies. Harness the power of mystical symbols to promote the progress of human society.
Nowadays, people with mystical symbols have taken root in all walks of life in society. The vast majority of those who have symbols of electrical properties join the Federal Electricity Agency, who are the mainstays of electricity in the city; Many of the people who possessed magnetic symbols became hovercar drivers, shuttling through the city's high-altitude tracks and joining the Federal Transport Company; Those who have a water attribute symbol will also join the federal city fire brigade. In all walks of life, to name a few, mysterious symbols have permeated all aspects of social life.
In the Federation, all men are created equal. Even if you have a mystical symbol, you won't be superior. This is the Federation, an equal country!
With the help of the power of mysterious symbols, in just over a hundred years, high-rise buildings have sprung up in the Federation, and people live and work in peace and contentment. However, there are still many imperfections in the Federation. For example, electronic devices such as mobile phones are not widely available. There is no conquest of the sky, no conquest of the sea, and no conquest of the snowy mountains... There are no planes, ships and satellites ...
The appearance of mysterious symbols hundreds of years ago also triggered changes in other large creatures. For example, a flying wolf, a fire-breathing tiger, a giant eagle as big as a cow, and so on.
Humans are also actively exploring the reasons for the emergence of mysterious symbols, hoping to unravel this secret. Dongfang Xiuying's mysterious symbol research laboratory, in fact, the main purpose is this.
Slowly closing the page, Wang Xiaolazy closed his dry and sore eyes. Swallow your breath at the first rays of the morning sun and do the first set of martial arts you learned when you were a child - eye exercises. Rub the temples, scrape the eye sockets...
He already had a rough outline of this world in his heart, and Wang Xiaolazy secretly made up his mind. Since God has given me a chance to do it all over again, I must be a person! I'm a little lazy must... Gollum ~ Gollum, forget it, let's go to the cafeteria for breakfast first, and then struggle.
The university in Union City 86, where Wang Xiaolan is located, has a special name - Santa Clara University. This was renamed in honor of the first principal, Santa Clara. Nowadays people also jokingly call it "Lala University", which literally. As soon as Wang Xiaolan came out of the laboratory building, he bumped into Dongfang Xiuying, who had a meal ticket, so he went to the canteen side by side.
Along the way, Wang Xiaolazy feasted his eyes, and there were handsome women and beautiful women in front of him~ Handsome guys? Inexistent. There are so many beauties, where is there time to watch men. What's more, almost every female classmate will quietly glance at him when they pass by him, and then cover their mouths and snicker. This must be their tall and tough figure and handsome face that conquered them. Then Wang Xiaolan unconsciously held his head high when he walked, and he didn't see Dongfang Xiuying's already embarrassed neck around him and the cramped and uneasy. Because, at this time, Wang Xiaolazy not only had fluffy hair like a chicken coop, but also wore his dirty, torn Kensney company blue overalls. This temperament, the originator of the Internet celebrity - "Brother Sharp".
After breakfast, Dongfang Xiuying hurriedly took Wang Xiaolazy to the office of Professor Li, the head of the Mysterious Symbol Research Laboratory, without delaying for a minute. And after Wang Xiaolazy saw himself in the grooming mirror in front of the building, he immediately looked like a wilted eggplant, and he lost his spirit. Professor Li was also taken aback by Wang Xiaolazi's dress, good guy, is this a primitive person? Wang Xiaolazi's situation Dongfang Xiuying had already reported to him yesterday, so Professor Li was also prepared in his heart, but he didn't expect that he hadn't prepared enough. Does this mild intellectual disability affect so much? This looks like it's been severe, okay!
"Ahem, that little lazy, I'll give you 10,000 federal dollars a month, and then take care of your meals, is the accommodation good?" Professor Li tried to communicate with him in a gentle tone. "You just need to cooperate with us when you need to, rest assured, I absolutely guarantee your health!"
On the other hand, Wang Xiaolazy looked sluggish. But a huge wave has already stirred up in his heart. Ten thousand?! Food, shelter and food?! Healthy? Go to the side, what is healthy or unhealthy, you can ravage me to your heart's content...
"Cooperate! Cooperate! I absolutely cooperate! Wang Xiaolazy nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking rice.
Professor Li saw Wang Xiaolazy like this, and a kind smile appeared on his face. "Okay, Xiuying, you take Xiao Lazy to the dormitory." As he spoke, he handed her another set of black sweatshirts. "Let's give my grandson's sportswear that fell here last time as well."
"Okay, Professor Li." Dongfang Xiuying pulled Wang Xiaolazi, who was still unable to extricate himself from the surprise, to his dormitory building. When he arrived at the door downstairs, Dongfang Xiuying handed him a key. "Room 707, don't go wrong. I'll go to class first, bye-bye~" After speaking, Dongfang Xiuying waved her hand and walked towards the teaching building.
Wang Xiaolazy waved his hand sluggishly, he hadn't fully woken up yet.
Walk into the dormitory, a single bed, desk, bookshelf, closet, bathroom, balcony. Very cosy single room. After Wang Xiaolan washed up, he lay on the bed with his arms on his pillow, staring at the ceiling. The balance of 10,000 federal coins was already displayed on the ID bracelet, and he was thinking about how to repay Dongfang Xiuying, invite her to a big meal, and give her a gift. Buy her a villa? Thinking far... Let's give her a small gift first, seeing that her long neck is empty, a beautiful necklace is absolutely suitable!
When you think of it, you do it. Wang Xiaolazy jumped up from the bed and strode out.
Out of the school gate, Wang Xiaolazy got on the bus and went straight to the comprehensive shopping mall. "Ding Dong ~ Ginza Comprehensive Shopping Center has arrived, please get off the bus and go well~" Wang Xiaolan got out of the car, looked at the guide map at the door, and went straight to the 5th floor.
The entire fifth floor is a luxury goods such as jewelry, dazzling, pearlescent, Wang Xiaolazy is dazzled and at a loss. It was his first time in a place like this.
"Hello sir, how can I help you?" At this time, a beautiful shopping guide came over and asked enthusiastically.
"Well, what, I'll take a look at the necklace." Wang Xiaolan then added: "Beautiful necklace! ”
"Yes, sir, I'll show you the 'pretty' necklace." The shopping guide deliberately accentuated the tone of the word pretty, covering her mouth and snickering. Wang Xiaolazi, who watched it, was stunned.
Following the shopping guide to the counter selling necklaces, Wang Xiaolazy was attracted by a pendant at a glance. "Sir really has a vision, this pendant is called 'Tears of the Goddess', and it is inlaid with a natural pink teardrop-shaped gemstone." The shopping guide lady told the story.
Wang Xiaolazy looked at the price. I'll make it up?!
12999?! Wang Xiaolazy was stunned, is a pendant so expensive?
"Sir, as long as you spend a dollar for membership, I can give you a membership price, 9999." The shopping guide saw Wang Xiaolazi's purchase intention, so she immediately added.
Wang Xiaolazy gritted his teeth and did it! "Well, can you lend me a dollar? I just spent a buck on the bus, and the money is not enough..."
... ...
It was close to noon when Wang Xiaolazy walked back to Santa Clara University. Holding the gift box containing the 'Tears of the Goddess' tightly in his arms, he returned to his penniless life, but fortunately, the school was in charge of food and housing.
Buzz ~ Buzz ~ The ID bracelet vibrates, and the display displays: Canteen Lunch, Oriental.
Wang Xiaolazy hurriedly ran to the cafeteria. Here, it's still the era of BB machines.
