"People are beautiful only when they are confident. If you constantly feel sorry for yourself, even beautiful women will be seen as ugly in other people's eyes," Wang Xiaohai said. "Of course, don't be so confident that you become arrogant. There has to be a limit. You can't keep saying that your figure of 150cm is the most perfect and beautiful in the entire galaxy. This conflicts with most people's aesthetic standards, unless you can control the entire galaxy and educate and cultivate others from a young age so that everyone believes that this figure is the most perfect. It is said that there is a planet where fat is considered beautiful. This is the result of the continuous cultivation of collective aesthetic concepts, just like morality and values. They are acquired and promoted by the rulers without harming the interests of the rulers."
Zhang Jiajia was stunned for a moment. Wang Xiaohai talked so much, but she could only understand half of it.
"You mean - I'm a beauty?" Zhang Jiajia asked concisely and clearly.
"No, I mean, you're beautiful only if you think you are." Wang Xiaohai replied, "What if there's an ugliest woman in the world who always thinks she's the most beautiful woman in the world, that her appearance is the standard, and that everyone else is hideously ugly? What do you think would happen?"
"She will be sent to a mental hospital for ideological correction, and perhaps even given electric shocks." Zhang Jiajia answered without hesitation.
Several forked lightning flashed in the distant sky and thunder rumbled.
"What if she is the absolute queen?" Wang Xiaohai asked again.
"Then others will agree with her verbally, but oppose her point of view in their hearts." Zhang Jiajia stopped talking to the taxi driver and turned to talk to Wang Xiaohai. Although this guy was annoying, what he said made sense.
"Oh, that's just that these people have been exposed to the knowledge and ideas of her father and ancestors since childhood." Wang Xiaohai said, "If she hires new teachers, revises the textbooks, calls her appearance beautiful, and selects a town as an experimental site, raising all newborn children there, what do you think their ideas will be like when they grow up? And if she expands this town to the entire country..."
"Then everyone in the whole country will think that those who look like the queen are the most beautiful." Zhang Jiajia understood. This had nothing to do with her. Although her father was a member of parliament, he did not have such ability. In a federal country, the words of one person did not have much influence. Even if he was a consul, if he dared to say something that went against the wishes of the people, he would most likely step down tomorrow.
"Your influence can't affect the entire galaxy," Wang Xiaohai said. "But you can set a smaller goal and try to make your boyfriend or husband think you are the most beautiful woman in the world. That's easier to achieve."
"I'm not going to talk to you about this anymore. What I need to think about now is how to get the money to pay for the taxi. We can talk about your profound theories later." Zhang Jiajia looked up at the sky and said anxiously, "Do you have any money? Can you lend me some?"
"I lent you money to take a hover taxi. The world is so big, what if you don't pay me back? Where can I find you?" Wang Xiaohai put his hands in his pockets, looking like he didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
"I'm a member of the Rudo Parliament—no, my family is very rich, I won't owe you this little money for the trip," Zhang Jiajia said, "I'll pay you five times over when the time comes!"
"Oh—I don't think your family is as wealthy as mine, so your fivefold return doesn't appeal to me at all." Wang Xiaohai was speaking the truth. Most high-ranking angels weren't as wealthy as he was. He currently possessed ten Divine Springs and a thousand Divine Crystals. Of course, it's possible that the people of the Ludo Galaxy had never seen Divine Springs and Crystals and didn't know their value. But even if they couldn't understand Divine Springs and Crystals, he still had billions of taels of gold, silver, and jewelry in his ring.
"Then what do you want?" Zhang Jiajia asked.
"I want to buy a spaceship. Can you do it?" Wang Xiaohai said half-jokingly. He really needed a spaceship, a spaceship that could enter wormholes or jump through space, but he didn't believe a passerby could do it.
"Hmm...you're not kidding, are you? Do you have that much money?" Zhang Jiajia stared at Wang Xiaohai intently. Noticing that he didn't show any sign of guilt, she accepted in her heart that he really intended to buy a spaceship. "Unfortunately, I actually know who to buy it from. I have channels for banned spaceships."
"What a coincidence? You're not deliberately trying to trick me out of my taxi fare, are you?" Wang Xiaohai knew Zhang Jiajia wasn't lying. She wasn't a trained liar. Her emotions, heart rate, body temperature, and sweating control skills were extremely poor, practically nonexistent. She couldn't lie to Wang Xiaohai. Those skilled liars lie so well that they even believe themselves. "Swear I'll pay for your taxi and you'll take me to buy a spaceship."
"I swear, okay, give me the money quickly." Zhang Jiajia put her five fingers together and swore upwards.
"Take it." Wang Xiaohai threw a mobile phone with a red rose shell to Zhang Jiajia.
"This... isn't this my phone?" The phone was a bit heavy, and Zhang Jiajia almost lost her grip. "You stole my phone and then lied to me that the guy with the earrings stole it. You have bad intentions!"
Before Wang Xiaohai could explain, Zhang Jiajia continued, "I see. You've been following me all the way. You already knew my identity, so you planned to pursue me and marry into my family, saving you decades of hard work!"
I have to say that she has a very rich imagination, but her reasoning ability is extremely poor. She was wrong at the beginning and could only get wrong answers later.
"Yes, you are quite confident. It seems that I have taught you confidence." Wang Xiaohai said, "You don't even have a bodyguard around you, and you have money? I just have better skills than the thief, so I got your phone back from him."
"I don't have bodyguards because I dumped them!" Zhang Jiajia said, "My family originally wanted me to go to the fifth planet, but I ended up on the third planet."
"I just asked a random question, and you answered it. You're such a clueless fool." Wang Xiaohai said, "If I were a kidnapper, wouldn't you be dead?"
Zhang Jiajia didn't want to talk to Wang Xiaohai anymore—she always got mad when she talked to him! Furiously, she used her phone to scan the taxi driver's code, set her destination, and got in.
Wang Xiaohai and the driver also got on.
The hover taxi automatically ignites and, without driver control, shoots off like the wind to its destination. The driver's role is to apply the brakes if the computer encounters a situation it can't identify.
"Why are you here too?" Zhang Jiajia said to Wang Xiaohai, "I didn't invite you. Taxis charge real-time fares. They automatically sense the weight of the passengers and increase the fare automatically."
"I see. Don't worry then. Your fare alone is worth ten of mine." Wang Xiaohai looked out the window. Raindrops were pattering outside, blurring the window. "Also, remember to take me to buy a boat."
Zhang Jiajia felt like she had swallowed an egg, nearly choking on her chest. She angrily said, "Are you saying I'm really heavy? I said I'd take you to buy the spaceship if you paid for the car fare. Now that you're using my money, I don't have to help you!"
The taxi driver thought that the two men did not forget to brag even when they were arguing, and believed that they did not know the price of the spacecraft. Then he thought, perhaps they were talking about the spacecraft with No. 5 batteries.
