The textbook contains a description of the current state of Earth, in which the term "exclusive zone" is mentioned for the first time:
"After the catastrophe, 99.9% of the world's species have become extinct, and the remaining species have begun to mutate due to radiation and light exposure. In order to continue to survive, humans have had to enclose land and build ships, creating safe havens to ensure the basic living needs of the survivors."
Thank you to the government for not abandoning any survivor.
Our world today operates under an unprecedentedly strict regulatory system, where everyone's private property is sacred and inviolable, even for a drop of water or a milliliter of air. At the same time, everyone is absolutely free, because a free spirit is also property and is protected.
Those who work hard can live in the safe zone, and may even have permanent residency there. Mediocre people can only live in the quarantine zone, and lazy people don't deserve the remaining resources.
But on Earth, there is a small island that was the only place unaffected when the catastrophe struck. So it still enjoys gentle sunshine, fresh air, and lush greenery. We call it a special zone because only a very small number of people, granted special permission by the world's highest government agencies, can immigrate there.
Permanent residency in a safe zone is a necessary prerequisite for applying to an immigration-only zone.
Everyone knows this passage.
It is precisely because of the existence of exclusive zones, which are areas accessible only to public authorities, that even the top ten richest people on the Sunshine Rich List dare not act recklessly. After all, everyone wants to live a better life, even though Safe Zone A already has everything.
......
Li Lechen was planning to buy a satiety pill from the mall and get a "super food purifier" as a gift, as Lai Haoren had suggested, when someone suddenly called out to him.
These days, being handsome is like being a third wheel; you attract attention wherever you go.
So even though Li Lechen was sitting in the corridor where he was not easily noticed, and his phone screen was not even lit up, he was still spotted.
To be honest, Zhou Mi didn't see Li Lechen through her glasses; she was drawn in by the particularly pleasant scent. Only then did she realize Li Lechen was sitting there in the dark.
"Why are you sitting here?" Zhou Mi asked as soon as she came up.
"I was carrying a bag of fruit, but they wouldn't let me in. I just finished eating here," Li Lechen explained "truthfully."
But Zhou Mi didn't believe this at all: "How could you not let me bring fruit? Did you bring durian?"
"They're just cherry tomatoes, big sister!"
"I'm your cousin..."
However, Zhou Mi immediately lost her confidence as soon as she said this. She remembered what her fellow members of the Fun Physics Research Club had said yesterday, that she looked several years older than Li Lechen.
However, as Zhou Mi's cousin, and someone she always looked down upon, Li Lechen was quite happy to continue the topic: "Actually, it's mainly because you haven't been taking care of yourself much. If you used some good skincare products, your skin would be supple and smooth."
"I know! I can make my own skincare products!"
Based on Zhou Mi's knowledge of chemistry, making some simple skincare products is indeed no problem.
“I also make skincare products, and I use the ones I make myself,” Li Lechen said, not to be outdone.
Of course, he was doing it for Zhou Mi's own good, because he really couldn't bear to see a seventeen-year-old girl looking like an older single woman because of the wind and sun and all the hard work.
Zhou Mi wavered.
As a woman, Zhou Mi had to admit that Li Lechen's skin was indeed very good. If this goodness wasn't natural, then the skincare products he used deserved a lot of credit.
"Alright! Let's go into the classroom. I'll give you some skincare products I made another day." Li Lechen stood up and put his arm around Zhou Mi's shoulder.
He had successfully diverted Zhou Mi's attention from why he was sitting there. As for why the school would issue such a bizarre rule, I believe everyone will have their own comments once the official announcement is released.
With one hand carrying cherry tomatoes that had been coated with invisible paint and the other in his pocket, Li Lechen walked right under the noses of the two junior students guarding the gate.
To the younger students, this senior had nothing in his hands.
I think it's pretty fun; it's definitely a great tool for pranks.
The two walked through the first-floor corridor and went up the stairs.
A large machine suddenly appeared at the turn of the stairs.
"What is this?" Zhou Mi leaned closer to look, then read the contents of the machine aloud to herself, "Freshly squeezed orange juice... Liu's brand."
"Hmm, would you like a drink?"
"Fifteen yuan a cup! That's enough to buy two pounds of oranges."
"But a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, if it's 100% made from oranges, would cost around 15 or 16 yuan in a regular beverage shop. So 15 yuan isn't expensive."
Li Lechen actually really wanted to try it out, because through the transparent window of the juice vending machine, he could see that there were many oranges inside, as well as a juicing machine, which seemed to prove that the 15 yuan orange juice was definitely 100% freshly squeezed.
This is exactly what Master Liu has been promoting.
Let's give it a try.
So, ignoring Zhou Mi's objections, he ordered a drink and paid fifteen yuan via WeChat.
The machine starts up.
An orange slid onto the track and was then conveyed to the entrance of the juicer, where two enormous gears meshed and "swallowed" the orange.
At the same time, a built-in disposable paper cup was pushed out, and orange juice slowly flowed down from the juice outlet.
That said, the amount of juice you can squeeze out of an orange is actually quite limited. At least after using this one orange, there's only about a third of the juice left in the glass.
Of course, the cup is also quite large.
Then, the second orange went through the same process, and then the third.
Then, a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice is ready.
I quickly took a sip.
"It's quite sour, it must be freshly squeezed," Li Lechen said after taking a sip.
Seeing Zhou Mi's serious and interested expression, Li Lechen quickly made another cup.
"It would be so much better if we made them in small cups. Five yuan for a small cup, just one orange would be enough, and there would be no waste," Zhou Mi muttered to herself.
"The goal is to make us waste things. How can we make money if we don't waste things?"
Li Lechen took out the newly launched glass of orange juice and handed it to Zhou Mi.
Then it suddenly occurred to me: "I know why they don't allow snacks and drinks; it's all to make way for vending machines."
"But you yourself said it wasn't expensive, so it's not a bad thing. I just don't understand why the school is issuing such a strong order over something that isn't actually bad."
After taking a sip of the orange juice, Zhou Mi thought it tasted pretty good. Although she often ate oranges, this was the first time she had ever had freshly squeezed orange juice. Besides, Zhou Mi never touched bottled orange juice drinks.
"Didn't you just say you didn't believe the school rules against bringing food into the teaching area?" Li Lechen retorted.
"I believe it now."
"......"
Although Zhou Mi believed it, Li Lechen suddenly had inexplicable doubts.
