Chapter 450: The Prosperous Era Fifty Years Later 1
Luo Xinxin and her friends traveled around the world for half a year. Damao's three children didn't want to be a third wheel, so they went to Yellowstone Park for a few days and then returned home. Half a year later, Luo Xinxin and her friends also returned.
Not only did he bring back the aircraft carrier blueprints, the system also unlocked the highest level, rewarding him with three time and space trips, each lasting one year.
What Li Rong was thinking about all the time was the prosperous era fifty years later. After he handed in the aircraft carrier blueprints, he asked for a long vacation, saying that he was exhausted from working on the blueprints in the United States and his health was very poor, so he needed a year's rest.
He is now the treasure of the organization. The leader immediately asked about his well-being and asked if he wanted to extend his vacation. Li Rong refused and said one year would be enough.
He felt a little regretful that the time travel was only for one year, which was a bit short.
Everything was ready, and they told their children that they wanted to go on vacation, and asked the system to take them fifty years into the future.
After a dizzy spell of bizarre lights, they opened their eyes and saw one handsome man after another beautiful woman in fashionable clothes, as well as photographers who were twisting their bodies to take pictures.
Just then, a girl wearing a tank top came over. A large part of her back was exposed, and the front was a little hollow. She only had breast stickers on, and her sexy view was suddenly revealed when she walked.
When Li Rong opened his eyes, he saw this girl. He was so embarrassed that he immediately turned his head away and asked Luo Xinxin, "Will Dacron still be in short supply fifty years from now?"
This girl's top looks like it was made of leftover fabric from a tailor's shop. She must be living a very tight life.
Luo Xinxin chuckled and explained, "People nowadays don't wear Dacron. This is called a tank top, and it's popular now."
Li Rong frowned. This piece of clothing couldn't cover anything. It would be immoral to wear it in public. He couldn't accept it.
But since this is the current social trend, he might as well accept it reluctantly. After all, the person wearing this dress is not his daughter, otherwise he would definitely break her legs!
Another energetic young man walked over. He was wearing a sweatshirt with a skull printed on it. His jeans were torn to pieces, almost in two, hanging loosely. The waistband was also loose, revealing half of his butt.
Li Rong's eyelids twitched as he watched. If this guy was his soldier, he would definitely recruit him to fight.
"These torn pants are also popular? They can't even cover my butt. It's better not to wear them." He couldn't help asking.
"Yes, don't look at it, there are even weirder ones."
Luo Xinxin dragged him away. The system was really weird. It actually sent them to Wukang Road. This street had long become a show place for internet celebrities. You could hardly see normal people there.
If her man saw the tens of thousands of yuan worth of shorts, the more than ten thousand yuan worth of plastic bags, and the tens of thousands of yuan worth of denim shorts that couldn't even cover the crotch, he would probably go crazy.
They took a taxi and found a big gold shop, exchanged hundreds of thousands of gold, bought two latest mobile phones, and went to the mall to buy some clothes. The clothes they wore were a bit out of date, and people always turned around to look at them when they walked on the street.
The system told them that this space-time was a parallel space-time to the one where Luo Xinxin had lived in her previous life, so their house and relatives and friends in Shanghai did not exist in this space-time. To this space-time, they were just two travelers.
They stayed in a five-star hotel near the Bund, which cost about two thousand yuan a night. Li Rong had never stayed in such an expensive hotel in his life. The sudden jump from a guesthouse that cost two yuan a night to a cost of two thousand yuan a night was a little hard for him to accept.
"With inflation so severe, how much are people's salaries now?"
He was very curious about the salary level of modern people. If they didn't earn tens of thousands of yuan a month, they probably couldn't afford such consumption, right?
"The lowest is a thousand or two, and the highest is hundreds of thousands. The gap between the rich and the poor is huge, and the class divide is serious."
Luo Xinxin briefly explained the current social situation and downloaded a foreign novel and the Douyin platform for him, allowing him to slowly understand it on his own.
Li Rong opened Douyin first. The first video was of a man dancing with a sword on the Great Wall. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked masculine and upright. Especially the last video where he kicked the sword back into its sheath, which made him applaud repeatedly.
The second one teaches people how to cook, which is also good.
The third one is a funny family joke. A little girl of three or four years old is wearing heavy makeup and standing on a stool, twisting her waist and hips and making many exaggerated movements. The little girl’s family members are standing next to her, laughing so hard that they are bent over.
Li Rong's brows knitted together as he asked, "Is this child's family part of an opera troupe?"
If it was a theatre troupe, even though the movements were not standard, it was understandable.
"That's right, but they make more money than the opera troupe."
Luo Xinxin took a look at it. This kind of awkward toe-picking performance was extremely popular on the Internet. She couldn't understand it, but she respected it.
Li Rong shook his head and turned to the next video. It was a charming and passionate woman in ancient costume singing. He wanted to turn the page, but he saw the woman's Adam's apple.
"Is this a man?" he asked, pointing at the woman on the screen.
"Yes, this is called cross-dressing. It's also their livelihood, and it deserves respect."
Luo Xinxin still respects cross-dressing actors very much. They also put in sweat and effort. Everyone who works hard to live deserves respect.
Li Rong understood that this was a real opera troupe and was indeed worthy of respect.
He clicked on another video, which showed a woman with a beautified face that looked like a snake spirit, eating a large bowl of food. The woman opened her huge mouth and ate until Li Rong felt sick. He quickly clicked on the next one, which showed a woman with a somewhat strange face. She was wearing heavy makeup and her nose looked like it was glued on with plastic. The woman was talking about her life as a man and also played a video of him having surgery.
Li Rong looked at it curiously and was a hundred million times frightened. A masculine man cut off the organ that symbolized his masculinity and then turned into a fairy-like woman. He couldn't understand it and didn't want to respect it.
After playing Douyin for half an hour, Li Rong couldn't stand it anymore and quickly quit to do eye exercises.
"How do you feel?" Luo Xinxin asked with a smile.
"The air is filled with smoke and chaos, and demons are dancing everywhere!"
Li Rong concluded with a stern face that there are only a small number of normal people, and most of them are monsters.
"Just get used to it. People nowadays are rich in material things but poor in spirit." Luo Xinxin comforted him.
Unlike people in the past, although they were materially poor, they were spiritually rich.
Li Rong clicked on Yang Shizi Novel again, hoping to find some martial arts novels to read, but he couldn't find any, so he just clicked on one at random and flipped through a few pages. When he was about to quit, a passage shocked him for three seconds.
Her parents fell in love early, her younger brother was born prematurely, and she worked eighteen jobs to support the family at such a young age. She also had to pay for her grandfather to buy gifts for his first love, and save money for milk powder for her grandmother's third child...
Li Rong suspected that he had read it wrong, so he rubbed his eyes and read it again. Yes, that was how it was written.
He turned his head and asked seriously, "Is this tomato you got for me a serious novel?"
