The Witch's Taste

Chapter 312 Decompression
"Speaking of which, what is it like for humans living in the Aegelaos Sector?"

After saying goodbye to Ms. Jiang Ying, Chen Ziang returned home and sighed in confusion on the sofa.

After Xia Zili made the call, the local furniture company quickly commissioned the sales, and it only took two hours to prepare all the furniture needed for the home - this is the commercially developed Aegelaos star district. , as long as you have money, you can do anything.

"You have to divide people." Tsukimiya Suzuna sat down next to him, "If they are humans who immigrated from the empire or the edge star area, they should be addicted to the extremely rich material life here, and be complacent about it."

"But if you are a human being who has been born in the Federation since childhood, or has been in the Federation for three to forty years, you will feel that there is an invisible barrier that limits the scope of human activities. In the words of Job,' You can only stay here, not beyond'."

"Invisible barriers?" Chen Ziang pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you mean specifically?"

"For example, in the workplace, the limit for human white-collar workers to reach the middle management level of a company is to reach the executive position. Once they attack the senior management position, they will find resistance everywhere." Tsukimiya Suzuna explained, "Another example is media propaganda. All propaganda will push human beings into the middle management position." Described as 'intelligent and hard-working, but lacking courage and leadership ability'. Even if there is a human being with charisma, he has absolutely no chance of appearing in the public eye."

"If we use movie terms to describe it, human beings are like the little followers who play behind the protagonist. He can appear on the screen, but he must not appear in the center of the screen. Any attempt to steal the scene will be punished by the environment. Strict suppression...I don’t know if what I said is clear enough, but I lived in the Federation for more than 20 years in my previous life, and this is how I feel as a human being from the Federation."

Chen Ziang listened a little heavily, while Xia Zili sat on the other side of him and added:

"It's not a feeling, this is a fact. The so-called 'diversity' in the elf society is actually a ranking of the major ethnic groups in the galaxy. The top of the pyramid is the high elves, followed by the wood elves and wild wild elves who are dependent on the high elves. Elves and dark elves, and then the culturally independent snow elves.”

"Among the non-elven races, they are arranged in the order of humans, dwarves and orcs, but the prerequisite is to surrender to the elves... In fact, without the existence of the empire, the status of humans in the Federation would be worse than it is now. Much higher."

This truth spoken from the mouth of the half-elf silenced both Chen Ziang and Tsukinomiya Suzuna.

Among the three major non-elven races, dwarves are paranoid and stubborn, orcs are violent and savage. Only humans are flexible enough, willing to abide by order, and tend to submit to authority. These are very good traits of a servant race, and they should also become elves. The “model minority” established.

However, it is because of the existence of the Human Empire that the humans in the Federation are unwilling to completely bow to the elves.After all, if I really can't survive, I will go back to the empire. There is a way out on both sides... On the other hand, the orcs will fight together to make trouble when they are oppressed, because there is no way to retreat behind them.

The result was that the orcs were causing trouble every day, but their status within the federation was rising; humans were law-abiding and good citizens, but were squeezed out and suppressed by the elves in the federation.

In the eyes of the elves, the former is just a house slave with a bad temper, while the latter is a traitor who may betray him at any time. It goes without saying who he wants to target.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziang couldn't help but feel a lot of sympathy for the humans of the Federation.

If it weren't for the existence of the Empire, you could have been a good dog... Ah, no, this statement is a bit too much. It should be said that if it weren't for the existence of the Empire, you could have integrated into the Federation more smoothly and become "a model for ethnic minorities." Existence” is so unfortunate these days.

In this case, is there any way to poach these people?
Instead of enjoying the discrimination of elves here in the Federation, why not follow our starship?We are a starship society, but our fellow humans are in charge!
Of course, Chen Ziang was just thinking about it.After all, in the face of material life and invisible dignity, most people will choose the material life that is visible and tangible. Unless the elves really put the knife on their necks, I am afraid that not many federal humans are willing to go to the stars at this stage. Go to the ship.

We still have to think of a way to make them suffer.

"I'm going to take a bath." Tsukimiya Suzuna suddenly stood up and said casually, "Senior, do you want to take a bath with me? There seems to be a big bathtub in this house."

Chen Ziang suddenly moved instinctively, but his reason quickly regained the high ground of his brain. Just as he was about to politely refuse, he heard Xia Zili say:
"If you need a back rub, I can help."

"Forget it." Tsukimiya Suzuna smiled slightly. She had already guessed that Xia Zili would come out and stab her. The reason why she said this deliberately was to make her angry - but it didn't seem to work well.

She went to the bathroom with a change of clothes.Chen Ziang continued to watch TV when he heard Xia Zili next to him suddenly say:
"If I'm not here, you actually want to go, right?" Chen Zi'ang:?

"Why do you say that?" He looked puzzled and thought about countermeasures quickly.

"Because you didn't control it last time." Xia Zili said lightly, her expression didn't seem to be angry, as if she was just chatting, "So I'm thinking, I shouldn't unilaterally add the relationship from my previous life to On you. After all, you don’t have that memory. You are still a single man now and you will have normal desires.”

"I want you to know that I wouldn't mind if you really wanted to go find her."

Chen Ziang was a little confused. Is this... retreating in order to advance?

"That's too cunning to say." He showed a helpless smile, "No matter what you say, I know you will definitely mind, and I won't go."

"Is it because I'm here?" Xia Zili looked at him sideways, "I can go out for a walk now."

"Well, no." Chen Ziang said frankly, "It's just because of the recent incident in Aegelaos, I feel like I'm trapped in a swamp, with dangers lurking everywhere, but I can't tell them apart for a while... The reality is already disturbing enough. , how can you still be in the mood to do that kind of thing?"

Xia Zili was silent for a moment, then said:

"But, isn't that kind of thing... a way to relieve stress?"

"Decompress, who did you listen to?" Chen Ziang asked in confusion, "It can't be the previous life..."

"Yeah." Xia Zili lowered her head and blushed slightly, "Although I don't have specific memories of this, I just roughly remember that in my previous life, every time you were under great pressure at work..."

"Okay, stop it." Chen Ziang said seriously, "I feel that the air conditioner is a bit cold. Should I raise the temperature a few degrees?"

"It's a little bit. Let me see...it's 25 degrees."

"Turn it to 26 degrees."

"The temperature outside seems to be 26 degrees. Is it necessary to turn on the air conditioner?"

"Generally speaking, due to electrical appliances, the indoor temperature will be one or two degrees higher than the outdoor temperature." Chen Ziang said seriously, trying to completely change the topic, "So it's okay to open 26 degrees..."

Before he finished speaking, his lips were sealed by Xia Zili.

The sound of gurgling water came from the direction of the bathroom. Chen Ziang was immersed in the warmth and softness. After hesitating for a moment, he put his hands on her waist.

Well, I’ve been really stressed out lately...
