Chapter 118
"This galaxy diamond ring is so beautiful, does it mean eternal love? Wow, it's so beautiful." Tang Bai was dazzled, "Ah, this feather diamond ring is also very beautiful, what does it mean......"
Engagement rings don’t need to be too formal, the styles are more flexible, and the price is affordable for Xie Ruheng, but wedding rings are different.
The more expensive the engagement ring is among nobles, the more it shows how much the man values his wife, implying that the alpha regards the omega as the apple of his eye.
Under normal circumstances, Xie Ruheng would definitely not be able to afford a wedding ring with the value of a planet.
Grandpa Tang had considered this early on and set the reward for the Mecha Cup champion to a magic silver the size of a pigeon egg.
Magic silver is the most fashionable and expensive rare metal nowadays. If you can use such a large piece of magic silver to make a wedding ring, it will be more impressive than any other wedding ring.
"So far, only the Federation can mine Magic Silver. Although no one has figured out the specific conditions for triggering Magic Silver, Magic Silver is very attractive to the players." Tang Bai was afraid that Xie Ruheng would be under too much pressure, so he vowed, "Don't worry, Brother Xie, whether you can win the championship or not, we can still get engaged. It's just a matter of time."
Xie Ruheng looked at Tang Bai, who was wholeheartedly devoted to him, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his lips.
After separating from Tang Bai, Xie Ruheng went to the school's training room to get used to the new mecha. At first, Xie Ruheng made preparations for the group of chirping cranes. He thought that except for the fat chirping mecha that Tang Bai specially customized for him, the mechas driven by other alphas participating in the competition in the training room should all be majestic.
This thought came to his mind when he pushed open the door of the training room and heard the deafening sound of "Gu Gu".
Xie Ruheng's eyelids twitched. He raised his head and saw Gu Tunan wearing a green mecha helmet and sitting expressionlessly on a sad frog-shaped mecha. He gave off an aura of hopelessness.
Xie Ruheng: “…?”
Xie Ruheng asked politely, "I remember your underwater combat mecha is called Jiaolong Ruhai?"
Gu Tunan was silent for a while: "Professor Wang made some changes to the appearance of the mecha based on Tang Bai's suggestion."
Xie Ruheng: "...the changes are good." The changes are wonderful and excellent.
Looking around, among a group of hardcore cute mechas, Xie Ruheng driving the Fat Chiu mecha suddenly found an unprecedented sense of superiority——
Fierce A and cute A, well-deserved.
Tang Bai went to visit Bai Zhi's Omega Protection Association. This association was established by Bai Zhi a long time ago and has recently been investigating the specific data of AO divorces.
"After news of Mr. Li's divorce spread online, a wave of divorces swept across the country. Guess which age group has the highest AO divorce rate?" Bai Zhi pushed his monocle and asked.
"They are probably elders around Uncle Li's age." Tang Bai guessed.
Bai Zhi shook his head and showed the statistical chart to Tang Bai. He saw that the age group with the highest divorce rate was actually the grandparents, and most of those who filed for divorce were omegas.
——"I have always wanted to get a divorce, but I was worried that I would be laughed at if I got a divorce. I have endured this for most of my life. I originally thought that I would just endure this until I die in the grave. But now that I see that Li Songyun's child can start a new life with a divorce, I want to give it a try."
——"My children have all started their own families and careers. I want to live for myself once."
——"I have lived in a daze for most of my life. In the last few decades, I don't want to be a slave to others. I want to treat myself well."
——"In this life, we have never held hands once. This should be what Li Songyun calls cold violence. The old man in my family doesn't love me. I want to grow old with someone else."
The grandpas and grandmas in the data have gray hair, and at their age, they seem to have nothing to do with love or the future, but the emotions contained in the words they left behind are intense and vivid.
Bai Zhi stroked the photos with his fingers and whispered, "We are witnessing a social change."
Tang Bai looked up at Bai Zhi in a daze. The Bai Zhi in the book seemed to have said the same thing, but the person he was talking to was Xie Ruheng.
Bai Zhi took off his monocle, which was a decorative piece that made his handsome face look more elegant when he wore it. After taking it off, he seemed to become much younger.
Under Tang Bai's blank gaze, Bai Zhi suddenly pulled Tang Bai's hand playfully and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see what we have done for this world."
They walked out of the tall and magnificent building and headed towards the bustling square. On the square was the Sunset Red Blind Date Corner established by the Omega Protection Association. There were many elderly people chatting with each other. Tang Bai also saw Admiral Gu, who was reluctantly accompanying his old friend on a blind date.
They walked out of the square and came to an ordinary residential building. Tang Bai heard Bai Zhi softly say, "Do you know? There is an omega here who suffered domestic violence from her husband. After watching the live broadcast of you and Mr. Li, he finally made up his mind and successfully divorced with the help of the association."
Tang Bai got on Bai Zhi's suspension car and drove to a Tang family business: "Your father funded our association to establish a food processing plant and hired many omega employees."
"It just so happened that the Mecha Cup was held. Everyone felt that those seriously polluting energy crystal processing plants in the slums needed to be rectified. I heard that your father intended to open a factory in the slums."
The suspended car continued to move forward. Tang Bai saw a sunflower energy gun designed by him placed on Bai Zhi's car. The energy gun looked like an ordinary small ornament in the car, and the petals rotated automatically.
“By the way, I hope the school is open, the road is repaired, and the house is still under construction.”
Bai Zhi looked into the distance and saw that the muddy and bumpy road leading to the slums had been repaired and turned into a smooth road. Children from the slums were running freely on the roadside, playing with each other with their schoolbags on their backs.
The First Star Group/sent people to the slums, and the slums, which had originally been in poor order, underwent unprecedented improvements. It is said that on the first day when the First Star Group came, anyone who disturbed the order would be arrested on the spot, so all the prisons near the slums were full.
During this time, no one dared to start a conflict in the slums. The streets were full of surveillance cameras, and soldiers and military academy volunteers could be seen everywhere. Even omegas could walk alone on the streets of the slums.
"Tang Bai, thank you for making me understand that the fate of each of us in this world is closely connected." Bai Zhi said softly.
The fate of each of them is closely linked, and the fact that he and Tang Bai dare to drive into the slums is the best proof.
One day, when every corner of the Federation is peaceful and stable with tall buildings, and both the poor and the omegas can sit in bright classrooms, study together, and fight together, discrimination and prejudice will disappear.
Bai Zhi looked forward to the arrival of that day and fantasized about the beautiful scene when everything happened. When he thought about it, he was actually a little crazy.
Tang Bai also looked at the prosperous slums in the same manner, with a dazed look in his eyes.
In this world, the fate of each of us is closely connected?
It seems to be true.
If he did nothing, the development of this world in the early stage should be the same as in the novel. Bai Zhi is still the high and mighty congressman, Li Songyun continues to be the perfect Mrs. Gu, Lu Lu's brother will be defiled by Cheng Wenhui, and Jiang Quan will grow like a weed in the slums...
Countless omegas are caught up in the torrent of the times, their voices are unheard and their experiences are unknown.
"Tang Bai, you are the light that gives me hope."
Bai Zhi looked at Tang Bai with his green eyes and smiled slowly: "We called for this change, we pushed it forward, and we will definitely win it in the end."
A month later, all major sections of StarNet were reporting on the "New Marriage Law" launched with the strong support of Mr. Bai Zhi.
Article 1: The federal government guarantees that omegas have equal marriage and family rights as alphas and betas.
Article 2: The federal government protects the omegas’ right to marriage autonomy. It is forbidden to interfere with the omegas’ freedom to marry or divorce.
Article 3: If the husband and wife agree in writing that the property acquired during the marriage will belong to each of them, if the omega party assumes more obligations such as raising children, caring for the elderly, and assisting the spouse with work, he or she has the right to ask the spouse for compensation when divorcing.
Article 24: If there is emotional discord between husband and wife and the wife voluntarily removes the lifelong mark, and mediation fails, divorce should be granted.
The weekly magazine introducing the "New Marriage Law" featured the faces of three omegas, from left to right, Tang Bai, Li Songyun, and Bai Zhi.
A hand with an intricate ring picked up the weekly and slowly turned to the first page, which read:
"Tang Bai once said at the mecha manufacturing competition that he met a person who inspired him and gave him the courage to pursue his dreams. Tang Bai also said that he hopes every omega can do what they want.
He thought so and he did so.
Today, Tang Bai is called the Omega Light by countless people, bringing warmth and courage to many people.
Why did the title "Omega's Light" come into being? It may be related to the collective confusion of omegas in this society. Many omegas live in a fog. They cannot see the way they came, nor can they find the direction of the future.
At this time, there is a person holding a lantern and walking in the front, exploring the unknown road. He smiles brightly and will cry when he falls. You watch him stumbling and jumping all the way, and it seems that no obstacles can stop him.
At this moment, when you look around again, you find that more and more people are looking at him in the mist, some people pick up the tiny dots of light, and then more and more people nod to each other, tacitly and silently gathering into a river of light, following behind him.
Li Songyun is the light chaser in the mist. He bravely took the first step towards rebellion and became the first omega in the Federation to divorce her husband because of cold violence. Li Songyun said something similar to Tang Bai -
He hopes that all omegas can live the life they want.
So more omegas took action and made their voices heard.
The law upholds universal justice and is the voice of the masses. Under such circumstances, Mr. Bai Zhi, who is in touch with the masses, introduced the "New Marriage Law"... "
The picture on the first page is Tang Bai in a military school uniform, and the gaze rests on Tang Bai's smiling face for a long time.
"Andre, why are you looking at Tang Bai's photo again?" Chris said with a smile, "Stop looking, we are going to the Federation soon, you will be able to see the real person soon!"
