Chapter 217: Logical Self-Consistency
It's no wonder that the two of them were surprised, after staying in the system on the apocalyptic side for a long time, everyone subconsciously thought that all NPC names should be the same.
Lu Beixi didn't mention it first, Yun Xiao had never been in contact with foreigners in the orphanage before, so naturally he didn't know much about foreign names. In addition, the characters in the apocalyptic system all have a single name, such as Lilian, Blank, Thatch, and other NPCs, she subconsciously thought that they were called by this name. Based on this, she also naturally deduced that Neville and Lois in the letter should only be called by this name.
But it wasn't until now that she knew that in the world planned by Zhou Yi, all NPCs should have names and surnames.
The name was originally a thing that was not worth caring about, at least in Lu Beixi's opinion, there were not too many surprises.
But Yunxiao is different.
Because she has been growing up in an orphanage, in her opinion, the name is very meaningful.
Ordinary people's names are basically given by their parents and elders, even Xiao Qi and Cuicui have their own names, although they don't know who gave them, but at least they know what their family names are.
But Yunxiao didn't.
At least until now, no one knows that she actually has no surname Yun at all, she is just called Yun Xiao, and she has no surname.
The name "Yun Xiao" sounds very poetic, as if the person who named it gave her some good wishes, but Yun Xiao knows that it is not at all.
This is just that when she was picked up and taken to the orphanage, the towel wrapped around her body was embroidered with the words "Yunxiao Towel Factory", so she was lucky to get the name "Yunxiao".
She knew that if the towel was embroidered with Wang Ergou Towel Factory at that time, then she would probably be called Wang Ergou now.
Lu Beixi was distracted when she saw that Yun Xiao didn't know what she was thinking, thinking that she didn't know much about letter etiquette, and explained in a low voice:
"The worldview here is different from the situation in China, if you follow the custom of foreign countries, the signature of a letter is basically accompanied by a surname, of course, generally a higher status or older person will be called by a surname. But among them, there are also such close relationships between friends, in which case the letter will not be written with a surname."
Listening to Lu Beicy's answer, Yun Xiao withdrew his thoughts from Wang Ergou Towel Factory, couldn't help but nodded, and then looked at Neville Aland again:
"Mr. Aland, forgive me for taking the liberty of hearing from the village chief's grandfather that you moved from the city? So your store shouldn't be your own, right? Is this your parents' shop? Or did your parents use to be businessmen?"
Lu Beixi was stunned, why did she suddenly ask this?
You know, the last time I raised the issue of a relationship with my parents, it was on a desert island.
The object of the inquiry was Thatch, who sacrificed his wife infinitely.
Thinking of the scene when Thatch got stuck in the bug because he couldn't remember his parents and what happened before he went on a trip, Lu Beixi's heart was alarmed, and he immediately raised his eyes to see Alander's expression.
"Speaking of which, was that your wife just now? You don't live with your parents?"
Who knew that after a while, Aland didn't make a bitter and hateful expression, but was a little strange about Yun Xiao's question:
"You seem curious about my parents?"
Yun Xiao's fingertips were entangled, and he said without thinking:
"It's a bit curious, after all, there is only one shop in the village, which means that this shop must have been around a long time ago, and Mr. Aland, you moved from the city, and you don't seem to look like a merchant or someone who would pay to set up a shop in the village, so I guess this shop may have been left by your parents?"
Lu Beixi frowned and said in a low voice:
"Aren't you afraid of his bugs?"
Yun Xiao tilted his head and whispered:
"Brother Lu should know better than me, once a person has a surname, there will be a concept of family, once there is a family, there will be a inheritance, in the eyes of others, a surname is just a surname, but in my opinion, behind a surname, it should be many generations of people.
And the NPCs of the Doomsday System do not have surnames, even Lilian does not have a surname, and the NPCs there are nothing but been
With a set memory, almost no one in the entire game can trace the things that have not been set.
So when you know that the NPCs in the Garden of Eden have surnames, it's hard not to want to prove that they are different from the Doomsday system, and that they have been freely reproducing and inheriting civilizations?"
Hearing her say this, Lu Beixi's eyes swept her.
It's just that at that moment now, she thought so much?
However, if Yun Xiao didn't mention it, he even forgot that when he first chatted with the village, the village had already revealed the details of Alander.
Lu Beixi sighed, in order to prove this, but he had to face the risk of driving the NPC crazy and making the mission unable to continue.
But if you ask all the questions, what else can you do?
Lu Beixi walked directly towards the front of Aland, clenching his fists behind his back as he walked, as if he was always ready to slash people when Aland entered logical self-consistency.
Aland not only looked at Yun Xiao with a puzzled expression, but even looked at Lu Beixi who suddenly approached him with some vigilance.
Lu Bei hoped for him, and seeing that he did not fall into self-consistency, but his eyes were full of doubts, the fist behind him suddenly let go, and he raised his hand to take the wheat flour bag in Aland's hand, and helped him carry the goods onto the board truck.
"Indeed, the weight of your board is not light, I just saw you pushing along the way, I should have practiced, right?"
Yun Xiao raised her eyebrows, seeing that Lu Beixi also noticed that this Mr. Aland was unusual, so she looked at Aland with a smile and waited for an answer.
If it were someone else, they would definitely think that these two people were too impolite, so they were guests who were placed at home, how could they ask the bottom of other people's homes as soon as they came up?
But these people in front of him can be regarded as the benefactors of the village, seeing them ask this, maybe they just want to know more about the village, and besides, these things are not a secret, Aland had to sigh:
"It's worthy of an adventurer from the main city, I didn't think I would see it, but I didn't expect you to find out."
Hearing him say this, Yun Xiao and Lu Beixi became upright, but who knew that Aland spread his hands and said:
"But you're guessing wrong, this shop isn't my parents', it's my friend's. I had indeed been working in a union in a few towns on the western side of the wilderness, and I had planned to go to the main city to find a way out and see if I could be recruited as a professional adventurer like you, but who knew that my friend had gone somewhere else in order to give the shop to his sister in order to get medicine for his seriously ill mother.
Alas, when he left, he never came back, but when he left, there could be no shop in the village, so I had to give up going to the main city and help him take care of his family and the shop."
What Aland said is very different from what was in the letter, and it seems that he is really Neville himself, the NPC of the Iron Box Mission.
Yun Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then took out the iron box in his arms from his arms.
As the letter appeared in front of Aland with dried flowers, Aland was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the letter he had sent was in her hand:
"Isn't this a letter I sent? How could you have it
This one?! Do you know Lois? He, where is he now?!"
Facing Alander's look of expectation, Yun Xiao shook his head:
"I may be disappointing you, Mr. Aland, this tin box was only picked up by chance on our way here."
Hearing Yun Xiao say this, Aland suddenly stumbled in disbelief.
"Then you are, in ...... Where did you find ......?"
Yun Xiao looked at him and said calmly:
"In the glacier under the snowy mountains."
"Neville, what are you talking about?"
Hearing this, Aland slowly raised his head, looked past Yun Xiao and looked into the room, Yun Xiao looked back, and saw that the girl named Jenny was standing at the door just now, looking at this with a worried face.
"Miss Jenny......
Yun Xiao pursed her lips and was thinking about how to speak, but saw Lu Beixi pick up the last bag of wheat flour on the ground and put it in the car, and then glanced at the surrounding high places where there were still people mending the house:
"This isn't the place to talk, don't you mind if we go in and talk?"
When Aland heard this, he glanced around and immediately invited people into the house.
"Of course, please come in."
