Chapter 268: 24 Years of Change
The two ran into a dark alley.
Lu Yuan immediately activated the different space and hid himself, whistling happily.
Who doesn’t like a young and vibrant society? Spending a long time with young people is like being young yourself.
In the training ground across the alley, some people were lifting weights frantically, while others were playing basketball.
Young people nowadays have very good physical fitness, with the average level being around level 2. The barbells for bench press start at 300 kilograms and are made of tungsten.
They were sweating profusely and working very hard, and heavy breathing could be heard from time to time.
"Are you going to join the army?" After finishing their training, two male classmates walked arm in arm in the alley, talking about the important events of life.
"Alas, I'm really not good at studying. It's a good thing for me to start working early and contribute to society!"
"I heard that soldiers these days are not that simple. They have to learn at least one skill."
"I have already learned the technology! Hehe, cutting processing and mechanical assembly, I have been training in Green Paradise for two years, and I even got a certificate last month."
"Good fellow, you actually kept it a secret from me!"
"…You are a good student, so just stay in school for a few more years."
Because the gap between the rich and the poor is well controlled, and coupled with the desire for industry, the status of workers in human society is quite high.
Students are not averse to learning a job that is a little dirty and a little tiring…
Of course, the second-level extraordinary fire brings about a significant improvement in physical fitness. In fact, the intensity of most work is acceptable and not as tiring as before.
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief only after the two guys walked away and didn't notice him.
"Every time I come to campus, it's like a war! It's sneaky."
"Just show off, dad."
As for Miss Conch in front of him, she was well raised by him. After so many years, Conch still looks like a girl, has a very girlish personality, and is very playful.
She was dressed in a rose red dress and a green leaf band in her hair, which made her look dignified yet elegant. She wore a pair of flat red shoes, and because of the running she had just done, her hair and clothes were a little messy, which made her look even more playful.
After 24 years, the relationship between the two has naturally made great progress.
What should be done has been done long ago.
I can only continue to endure things that I shouldn’t do.
At this point, Hai Luo couldn't help but become naughty: "Dad, why did you run away? I didn't intend to run away! I was just asking for some gossip."
"Even I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of..."
Lu Yuan snorted twice, held her face, and came for a while.
The girl's face immediately turned redder and she stammered.
"High attack and low defense, thin skin and big filling."
Lu Yuan snorted, feeling as if he had been bewitched.
Humans are creatures that get bored easily and easily. After 24 years of living together, love should theoretically turn into a dull family relationship.
But now he is still very interested. Could it be that some unknown divine skill is working?
"Use your 'Follow Your Heart' to show me. If it becomes weaker, you will have to abstain from sex."
"Oh, it's gotten a little stronger." A faint blue light shone from Conch's eyes, and he uttered a syllable, "!"
This is the ability of [Spiritual Words] that imitates "what you want".
Mysterious power appeared beside her.
A ball of water vapor condensed in the air and formed a small water ball.
Lu Yuan judged whether she was getting weaker or stronger by the speed at which the water droplets condensed.
"It's 1.4% faster than last month, and the quality of purified water is also okay."
"Hey, when can you reach 35 points of divine attributes?" Lu Yuan sighed.
Ten years ago, she finally regained the 0.5 points of divine attribute that she had lost.
But the next step to reach 35 points is still a long way off, after all, this is an exponential growth.
If it increases by 0.05 per year, Lu Yuan would thank God for his mercy.
Hai Luo also knew that her ability to imitate [Spiritual Words] was of vital importance to Spiritual Words Technology. There were many [Spiritual Words] that [Painted Skin] did not cooperate with, so she had to take the initiative to replace them.
So she still worked hard...
Work diligently to learn the pronunciation of [Huapi]...
Understand the usage skills of [Spiritual Words].
I also have to imitate other divine skills to speed up my cultivation...
Even, imitating the "talent of a craftsman", Xiao Xiao had an epiphany. She did not make equipment, but used her inspiration to learn glyphs and [Spiritual Words].
"Follow one's heart" is an all-round ability. The imitation is usually not as good as the original, but it is more comprehensive and varied.
Of course, it is also very hard - imitating other divine skills really requires a lot of energy.
When she thought about how she had secretly worked overtime and been diligent for so many years, she couldn't help but say arrogantly: "Humph~!"
…
Lu Yuan didn't know what she was humming, but the conch was indeed the heritage of civilization.
He cancelled the alternate dimension, and the two of them strolled hand in hand in the huge campus, just like an ordinary couple. They bought a cup of milk tea and a bowl of oden, which is very common on the roadside.
This kind of couple is very common in school, and no one pays attention to them.
It’s quite fun to pretend to be a student.
"There are quite a lot of children who fall in love early...maybe one-third of the children have been in love." Conch whispered.
Lu Yuan was quite open-minded about this: "Well, there's nothing we can do. People always fall in love. It's hard to prohibit this. Besides, we don't have the college entrance examination here. We have a lifelong learning system. Let's just fall in love early..."
Conch pointed to a small corner and said, "But after falling in love early, many people break up."
There was a boy wiping his tears next to a trash can.
There is a small cake in the trash can...
"It's normal. Getting along with others is not an easy thing."
"The campus can be considered a small society." Lu Yuan sighed.
Humans are not naturally long-lived creatures. In ancient times, people would be eliminated by nature at the age of 30.
This leads to humans having a particularly strong desire to reproduce during adolescence, that is, teenage years.
After the age of thirty, human reproductive desire gradually declines.
This means that human love patterns are not stable. As life expectancy increases, the phenomena of getting bored with the old and falling in love with the new, playing two-timing, and divorce are common.
On the contrary, because the Green people have a long lifespan and reach adulthood at the age of 100, their genes naturally pursue stability. Once they get married, they are equivalent to being bound together for life, and the divorce rate is very low.
Therefore, in the culture of the green people, there are too many works praising the sacredness of love! Some people are even willing to die for their partners!
Therefore, the literary works that humans consider to be very corny, the green people really think so...
The difference in the underlying reproduction mechanism has led to the fact that almost the same social support system has produced two different groups of people.
In the green civilization, there are actually very few children who fall in love early, and everyone generally grows up slowly.
But humans are growing up quickly and have more conflicts and contradictions than the green people.
Lu Yuan couldn't change this either. He just let it be. As long as the kids respected themselves, it wouldn't matter if they failed in love a few times...
Anyway, he has a football girl, their relationship is stable, and he doesn't have to worry about breaking up. He is very happy every day.
"Look at the turtle~"
"Wa ...
Not far away there are more than a hundred acres of farmland, with emerald green leaves fluttering in the wind.
The Immortal Giant Turtle and the Old Wolf are the captains of the farming team.
This is a labor practice class that every child must participate in from a young age - being out of touch with worldly affairs is not a good thing.
The turtle that can plow the land, although it is stupid, is a good hand at farming.
The old wolf is responsible for guarding the vegetable garden.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In addition, it also has images in the virtual world, and children like it very much because they have been used to it since childhood.
As if smelling the scent of its master, the old wolf shook its butt towards Lu Yuan with its tail in the air.
Next to it there were a few female wolves, oh no, female dogs.
"Don't come over here, go and play by yourself!" Lu Yuan waved his hand and secretly threw over a piece of honey and egg bun.
"Awoo?" The old wolf took a quick bite and it had a familiar taste.
In a warehouse five hundred meters to the east, there was a Zerg creature called "Gold-Eating Bug" squatting nearby, motionless.
Its function is to devour metal ore and smelt it into finished products.
Occasionally, a small amount of extraordinary elements will be smelted.
When children see this thing, they will be scared and cry at first, but then they will get used to it.
This big treasure is quite precious. No matter which civilization you go to, you will be treated as a VIP.
It was assigned here by Lu Yuan to produce some consumables and let the children come into contact with Zerg technology from an early age.
Four hundred meters further north is a large carving display center, where "solid carvings", "temperature control carvings", "energy storage circuits", etc. are all on display.
We have been exposed to it since childhood and have been influenced by it.
Oh, by the way, there is also the [Spiritual Words] rune, which is also the research result in recent years. It can slowly generate heat, discharge electricity, make ice, etc.
Glyph technology is also the current main research direction. It is an idealistic science that can flourish with only a small elite population.
These achievements can replace scientific and technological products to a certain extent.
The only problem with idealistic creation is that it cannot be mass-produced and the cost is a little high.
But if there are enough people who can carve characters, the cost can actually be reduced...
Further away are various training venues, which have all kinds of fitness equipment and fighting schools.
There are also extraordinary plants dug from the empire and placed nearby. There are a total of 7 extraordinary plants, 3 of which can provide extraordinary fruits, and the other 4 have medicinal value, or can slightly increase the cultivation speed of the surrounding people, or provide some kind of life vitality. In short, they are all very useful.
Theoretically, if you upgrade the Super Fire to level 3, you can reach the 12-point god standard for researching glyphs.
Of course, there are still not enough extraordinary resources now, and there are only a dozen children who have reached level 3.
Most of the children are still at level 2. (That is the attribute when Lu Yuan beat the mother bear.)…
After this tour, Lu Yuan really felt a great sense of accomplishment.
The joy of building the world can only be felt, not expressed in words.
24 years has not been easy.
Thinking about it now, it was like a dream, bitter first but sweet later.
The period before kindergarten required burning a large amount of data. He worked almost non-stop and was miserable.
From elementary school to junior high school, it is a new stage. The small family system of six people sounds beautiful, but in fact there are many details.
After all, children have their own personalities, good and evil exist naturally, and bullying incidents will occasionally occur, and we have to find ways to correct them.
Lu Yuan lost countless brain cells to create the current situation.
Under this system, children will still have brothers and sisters after they have established themselves in society.
Although brothers and sisters will drift apart and move on to new lives, the time they spent together as children is the most unforgettable, and this bond is hard to sever.
As the marriage rate continues to decline in the future, it would be nice to have a few relatives.
This is the best system Lu Yuan can think of.
…
…
"Ding-ling-ling!"
The shrill ringing of the bell broke Lu Yuan's wild thoughts.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the graduation ceremony officially began! The principal of Green School, the head of the education group, and old comrade Sha Sanli gave an important speech.
In the education industry, it is obviously not enough to rely on "love" alone, but also requires "hate", "criticism", "dignity" and "pressure"! The old comrade Sha Sanli, his bad reputation can stop children from crying at night. Every child is afraid of him, and his dignity is at its peak.
"Hello, students. Silence!"
The crowd immediately quieted down.
The old man adjusted his tie and cleared his throat.
These years of hard work have made him look much older, and the hair on his temples has turned completely white.
I am already an elderly person, and it takes a lot of effort for me to keep up with the times.
In fact, as a conservative, Sha Sanli still can't figure out what's going on in this inexplicable education system, nor does he understand what these children are thinking. But there is a bigger god suppressing them on campus, and he is just a nominal principal, and his only responsibility is to scold people.
Busy but happy at the same time.
We have been together for more than 20 years and actually have feelings for each other.
Sha Sanli took out a piece of yellow paper and read the manuscript: "Classmates, our first batch of graduates, 2,253 people, will soon enter society and work hard for human civilization!"
"Human civilization is a very big concept. It's you, me, and all of us combined."
"Everything that everyone does, whether good or evil, whether it is active labor or crime, is part of human civilization."
"If good outweighs evil, then human beings will gradually progress and become better."
"If evil overwhelms good, humanity will continue to collapse, stop progressing, or even regress."
"Of course, as the principal, I don't ask much of you. I just hope you can find a job you like and make a contribution to society. That's enough."
“All we can do is our part.”
“It is glorious to be remembered in history, but it is common to be ordinary.”
