Bug Rescue Team

Chapter 268 Sad Story

The new fifth Yue deeply agrees with the old man's words.The fourth floor was obviously a residential area, but she had already seen many passers-by running to go shopping. The behavior of these people made her very puzzled.

“Are all young people today very busy?”

"Busy, busy every day."

"Weren't young people busy in the past?"

The old man fell into memories and murmured to himself: "I was busy before, but it's different from now. I used to be busy and could take a break, but now I have no time to take a break. I'm busy every minute."

"Is it because of the development of science and technology, or something else? Can you tell me about the past?" Xin Wuyue was not sure what she wanted to ask, and finally found someone who was willing to talk to her. It would be nice to talk about the past. It’s a topic!
The old man is used to a lonely life and is a little uncomfortable with being approached and aimlessly chatting.He asked Xin Wuyue many times if he had nothing to do. After getting a definite answer, he said: I am an actor, very ordinary.

At that time, when filming, it took at least several years from selecting a script to raising investment to actually making the film.Unlike now, when a movie can be produced in a few weeks, stars don’t have to go filming at all. As long as they sell their portrait rights, artificial intelligence can use the stars’ faces to create a movie...

"You mean, technological development has affected the film and television drama industry?"

The old man seemed to have never thought about this question. When asked by the new fifth Yue, his thoughts were instantly confused.It took him a long time to say, "Today's movies are very good. You can find any type of movie you like. Even if you can't find it, as long as you appeal to the distributor, the distributor will be able to film it soon."

"I thought you were dissatisfied with the current situation of the film and television industry!"

"Haha!" The old man laughed, "I am just a little person, how can I have so many ideas. Too many ideas is not good, not good at all." Listening to the old man's words, it is obvious that there is a rhythm in the story.The new Fifth Yue was fine anyway, so she sat directly next to the old man and slowly induced him to tell his story.

"My husband is a very humorous person, and I don't know what is going on in his mind. He seems to have countless jokes to tell me every day. With the changes in the film and television industry, I can no longer receive scripts as easily as before. Our life became more and more embarrassing... After we quarreled, he went out to find a job, telling jokes to children in a theater troupe. He had many stories and a lovable appearance, and was very popular."

"I don't know when he started to stop laughing. He also told me that once he took telling jokes as a career, he racked his brains to think of jokes every day, and all the sense of humor hidden in his bones was ruthlessly squeezed out by time. .”

"During that time, he was wandering the streets and alleys like a wandering ghost. Whenever he heard someone laughing, he would follow them and ask why they were laughing. He incorporated all the plots in life that could make people laugh into jokes. But he still couldn't tell a joke. One day, when he was crying and said that he couldn't tell a joke, the children in the audience laughed happily... After that day, he came back and applied for a marriage certificate with me. I cheered up and planned to do it. While managing his married life, he chose to end his life."

"After he left, I inherited his wealth... Those words that encourage people to make progress are like death spells in my ears. I gave up my efforts and just wanted to wait for the day when my wealth was exhausted and I would be sent to blackmail by the government. Eye Star is waiting to die. If I hadn’t advised him to make progress and work hard, life might have been different. Even if we were sent to Black Eye Star together, at least he would still have a companion..."

This is a sad story. When a person loses the ability to be happy, his life has no meaning.

The new fifth Yue once again realized that the ordinary people of Four Eyes Star have been squeezed to the point of working hard every minute and every second. As long as they stop for a while, the fate waiting for them will be very miserable.

After bidding farewell to the old man, the fourth floor was still the same as when she first arrived. The whole community was very quiet, as if there was no living person in the house, and the few passers-by she occasionally saw were all in a hurry.Even the mother who came out to walk her baby was walking her baby and studying at the same time. It seemed like a sin to waste time in Four Eyes Star.She went to the fifth floor, where she had been before.At that time, they knew that the fifth and sixth floors should be parks and planting areas. Since it was the middle of the night, they didn't see anyone... During the day, maybe they could meet tourists or workers?
The vertical passage quickly took her to the fifth floor. Seeing a wedding not far away, she walked over curiously.According to Aquamarine people, passing by these places can always bring some joy to the newcomers.

Green grass, pink and purple bouquets decorated the scene beautifully... Hearing that she didn't have an invitation, the robot waiter stopped her outside the venue.

When the music started playing, the projections of three couples suddenly appeared on the high platform covered with purple carpet, and then the shadows of the spectators gradually appeared on the empty seats.

The wedding host happily blessed the three couples, and the relatives and friends in the audience also used various communication tools to send their blessings to the big screen... Under the melodious background music, lines of blessing words floated across the screen, and the newlyweds While listening to the host reading these blessings aloud, he said words of thanks through the projection...

When she discovered that the host could connect three couples at the same time, the new fifth Yue realized that the host, who looked very much like a real person, was a simulation robot. It was very strange that no real person was present at this dream-like wedding!

She hurriedly changed to an island, and she could see from a distance that the island was full of colorful large-scale entertainment facilities.The colorful colors can alleviate her uncomfortable mood to a certain extent...

Tickets for the Happy Park are quite expensive, but you can see various recreational facilities hidden among the vegetation. She thinks there should be more people here.

After buying a ticket and entering the park, she saw many students. Some were playing around, some were waiting in line for various rides, some were eating, and most of them were looking down at their mobile phones... She suddenly saw so many students. Man, her depressed mood was indeed relieved.This was the first time since she left the port that she saw so many four-eyed people gathered together.

When she approached these students, countless words reached her ears, and the happy atmosphere that she had managed to catch suddenly fell back to a distant place.

"There's so much homework today, why do you have to come out?"

"I've finished my homework, but the school stipulates that I must complete more than three entertainment projects before I can go home. I'm so tired!"

"I don't want to wait in line at all. Instead of wasting time waiting in line, why not go to the playground and run a few laps. Isn't it good to increase my physical fitness like this? Why should I go out to play..."

"I heard that this amusement park will soon be out of business. If we don't come, the last amusement park in Four Eyes Star will have to close down."

"Why do you need an amusement park? Can't you just plug in a brain computer and play whatever you want?"

"Can you please lower your voice? I'm studying the questions and I can't even hear what the questions say."
