Mech
Miao Xingzhou saw herself earning money by writing novels at the age of forty and living a happy life every day, but in her old age, she had no husband, children, or grandchildren.
She began to wake up from her dream, and her mother said, "How are you feeling now?"
Miao Xingzhou: "Hmm."
Is it possible to go to extremes in order to write a novel?
He got up, looked around, touched the table, and then she began to write.
Moving like flowing water.
In just five hours, he had written 30,000 words.
Looking at the comments on her phone, she asked, "How many humans are there now?"
Mom: "There are 2.1 billion people on Earth."
Miao Xingzhou: "What about other planets?"
Mom: "There are 3.1 billion people on Mars and 2.8 billion on the Moon."
Miao Xingzhou: "Hmm."
She continued writing.
Suddenly, I realized my sister had come home. She said, "I've read what you wrote now, and it's very good; it's full of life."
Miao Xingzhou didn't say anything, he just smiled.
Mom: "Let's eat now."
When Miao Xingzhou ate it, it felt like eating creamy ice cream.
Mom said, "It's getting late, go to bed early."
Miao Xingzhou: "Hmm."
She tried to sleep, but couldn't fall asleep.
She opened her computer and looked at the readership; it had quickly reached an average of 390,000 chapters.
Then she fell into a deep sleep.
She woke up, looked at the high-tech house, and slowly walked out. Her sister said, "Do you still want to go back now?"
Miao Xingzhou: "Hmm."
Sister: "Are you lacking inspiration again?"
Miao Xingzhou: "Hmm."
My sister looked at me with sharp eyes and said, "It's getting late, hurry up and go."
When I woke up again, in the small room, my mother said, "You're awake."
Miao Xingzhou: "Hmm."
Mom went to work, and Miao Xingzhou also went to work soon after, starting at seven o'clock every day.
While at work, she listened to Gen Z chatting, and she didn't know what expression to make. Gen Z is so mature.
She called her sister after get off work.
My sister heard that she was working at a massage parlor.
"They called it eating a bento box outside."
In today's internet-connected world, the internet still fails to protect these minors.
She turned on her computer.
The older sister said, "Miao Xingzhou, I'm hanging up."
Miao Xingzhou: "Hmm."
When Mom got off work, Miao Xingzhou said, "Mom, do you want to eat that now? I bought a pie."
Mom: "How much is one?"
Miao Xingzhou: "Two yuan each."
Mom: "Two yuan for something so small?!"
"Hmm." He smiled and continued writing his novel.
Mom: "This isn't that tasty either."
"You just said it was delicious."
Mom: "They're only two yuan each. You're so rich, you can just buy whatever you want."
After she finished writing her novel, she went to sleep.
Mom said, "My shoulders are a little sore, could you give me a massage?"
Miao Xingzhou pressed the buttons for a few minutes, then said, "I'm going to sleep too."
Mom: "Mmm."
She fell asleep but felt thirsty, so she got up to drink some water.
Mom woke up and said, "Why are you up?"
Miao Xingzhou: "Would you like some water?"
Mom: "Mmm."
She handed it to her mother.
The water here is all boiled before drinking, and the water in the factory is also boiled, so there is no ice water in the summer, but there are refrigerators at home.
Mom said, "Okay."
She put down the cup and then went to sleep.
In the dream again, she used high technology once more.
Watching countless robots walk along the road, she felt afraid. Then she turned around and saw her family behind her, saying, "Miao Xingzhou, come here quickly!"
She went there.
"Do you want to write a novel?" Mom asked.
Miao Xingzhou: "I want to read a book."
Mom: "Reading a book?"
Sister: "You connect to the terminal brain, instantly read a book, and completely understand it."
She started reading.
After entering the room, he said, "In just five minutes, I read ten difficult books."
Mom: "Mmm."
Dad: "What do you still want now?"
Miao Xingzhou: "I want to make money, a lot of money!"
Mom: "Making money?"
"Um."
Her mother said, "What are you going to do with the money now? The government is giving you money."
Miao Xingzhou: "The money we receive is not real; only the money we earn ourselves feels secure!"
She saw a character from her novel appear, and he reached out to touch him.
I suddenly woke up from my dream, and my mother said, "You're awake?"
Miao Xingzhou: "Hmm."
After they started buying some breakfast, they each went to work.
Mom said, "It's not easy to find a job these days."
My mother's friend from the factory said, "Hmm."
We are now in the information age, and are on the verge of entering the age of artificial intelligence.
Ordinary jobs are being replaced: chefs, factory workers, farmers, delivery workers...
They will all be replaced.
She will also be unemployed.
However, there is also more time to create wealth; rather than saying there is no work, it is more accurate to say that one's hands are freed up.
She slowly returned home. The sky was ablaze with fiery clouds, like the end of the world. She was cooking when her mother, who was coming home from get off work at nine o'clock, said, "The batteries of the workers at our factory have been stolen."
Miao Xingzhou: "Hmm."
Mom laughed and said, "The deliveryman stole it."
Miao Xingzhou and his mother smiled.
Miao Xingzhou: "Instead of delivering packages properly, they steal batteries."
Mom frowned and asked, "What did you make today?"
Miao Xingzhou: "Chicken stew with mushrooms."
Mom: "You made such delicious food!"
She started eating.
Mom said, "Well done."
Miao Xingzhou: "Hmm."
They chatted for a while, then went to sleep.
Mom: "How are you feeling now?"
Miao Xingzhou: "Yeah, it's alright."
Mom: "Is it tiring?"
Miao Xingzhou: "It's alright." He sounded a little impatient.
Mom: "Ask Man, are you still unhappy?"
Miao Xingzhou said with a smile, "I already said it's alright."
Night deepened.
She watched as her novel was adapted into a television series.
The mother looked at her and said, "Is there anything strange about it?"
Miao Xingzhou: "My story has really been made into a TV series?"
Mom: "Mmm."
They started watching Miao Xingzhou's television.
My sister said, "Your writing is alright, but not many people read it."
Miao Xingzhou: "Hmm."
Even though none of them were watching anymore, Miao Xingzhou finished reading it carefully and said, "My novel has actually been adapted into a TV series!"
Mom: "Instead of wasting time, you should write a novel."
Miao Xingzhou: "How much money have I made from my novels?"
Mom: "One hundred a day."
Miao Xingzhou: "One hundred! That's three thousand a month!"
Sister: "The average salary for everyone now is four thousand."
Miao Xingzhou's eyes were bloodshot.
She said, "Aren't you lying?"
Mom: "Just be yourself, why compare yourself to others?"
"Um."
It's not good to spend the rest of your life only on hobbies. Besides, you can't write novels in isolation.
She went for a walk and found a car that was as tall as a building. She looked up at it and it was magnificent.
I walked slowly down the street.
Among the passersby were aliens, robots, and humans from five thousand years in the future.
She began, "Things have really changed now!"
She began to look at the countless spaceships in the sky, and the lifelike 3D images on the large screen.
The traffic lights have been replaced by virtual screens.
She started watching a cat, which ran to a small corner and then sat down.
Suddenly, it spoke human language.
Cat: "Get out of here now!"
Miao Xingzhou started running, and looking at the pure white pear blossoms in front of her, she stood smiling under the tree.
She smiled as she caught a handful of pear blossoms.
A robotic dog said, "Now that animals and humans are developing together, you wouldn't want to steal children, would you?" Miao Xingzhou replied, "No, I didn't."
The robot dog chatted with her for a while and then said, "Stealing children is a serious crime, punishable by five years in prison. You should give up." Then it rolled away on its wheels.
Miao Xingzhou breathed a sigh of relief.
She tiptoed and started dancing, and suddenly music started playing around her.
She said slowly, "Today is a good day..."
When I woke up from my dream, my mother said, "I'm leaving now."
Miao Xingzhou, looking at the time, it's already 6:30, get up quickly.
She went into the factory and started working. She felt a little hungry.
After that, I started going home from get off work, living a monotonous life between my rented room, the canteen, and the factory.
She slowly began to say, "Is this kind of life really good?"
Mom said, "It's good that you're eating now."
Suddenly my sister called.
My sister asked, "Are you off work now?"
Miao Xingzhou: "Hmm."
Sister: "Look."
Miao Xingzhou: "You bought durians?"
Sister: "It's been so long since I've had durian."
Sister: "Do you want to eat?"
Miao Xingzhou opened his mouth and pointed it at the screen, "Let me eat it, I'll give you the pit and not leave you any!"
The older sister smiled slightly.
After she finished eating the durian, Miao Xingzhou asked, "How did it feel?"
Sister: "What does it taste like? It tastes like durian."
She said with a smile, "People in the countryside have started eating durian."
The older sister pursed her lips.
Mom said, "Durian is so expensive, why are you still buying it?"
Sister: "I also bought yogurt and oatmeal."
Mom frowned.
Miao Xingzhou: "All you've eaten is a pair of underwear."
Sister: "I'll use my own money."
Mom: "It's good that you use your own money. Don't ask me for money if you run out."
She entered a dream and watched a giant mecha dancing before flying away.
Miao Xingzhou began walking down the bustling street, where you could buy anything.
There's also an advertisement here: "IQ-boosting surgery for only 10,000!"
Miao Xingzhou watched the IQ substitution surgery, and then continued walking.
Suddenly someone bumped into my arms.
She looked down and saw it was a child. The child said, "Excuse me, sister, I have to go to work now, could you let me pass?"
Miao Xingzhou stepped aside and began to look around.
The child clearly bumped into me, but I'm being told to give way. Oh well, let's keep watching.
She saw a monster, terrifying in its entirety, with red eyes, a gaping maw, and a bloody aura that emitted ferocious sounds. Her heart pounded, and she began to run away.
Suddenly, the sound of fighting came from behind him. He turned around and saw the mech he had just been fighting against him.
Gradually, the monster transformed into an ordinary human...
The mother looked at him and said, "It's dangerous here, don't run around."
Miao Xingzhou: "Hmm."
She started going back home.
Sister: "Now you only think about me having fun all day long, don't you even know what work is?"
Brother: "Let's go upstairs first."
Miao Xingzhou frowned, then began to write.
