I will still be a god in this life

Chapter 2 The first meeting with this era
Zhou Fuxi stood under the bronze statue of Huang Xing at the entrance of the pedestrian street. He remembered that when he left Junsha in 2004 to deal with the Tianwai incident, this tall and majestic bronze statue had just been completed, and "Meeting the Bronze Statue of Huang Xing" became a date date for many young people. Something that is often said.

Almost 20 years later, the bustling streets in front of me seem like a lifetime ago. The only familiar elements seem to be the bronze statue of Huang Xing in front of me and the simple octagonal pavilion on the roof of the shop on the right.

He turned around and faced Jiefang West Road. The pedestrian walk here was designed in the shape of a "gang". Under the traffic lights, densely packed pedestrians flowed according to various rules like fillers, and like goods on an assembly line. .

After coming back to his senses, Zhou Fuxi felt that there were many mobile phones pointing towards him, and he couldn't help but wonder.

Judging from their behavior, using mobile phones to take pictures has become a very common means of daily recording, which also means that mobile phones now even have powerful night photography capabilities.

You must know that in 2004, although mobile phone types were flourishing, color screens had just taken over the mainstream. Counterfeit phones were booming, and they were more keen on integrating multiple functions into mobile phones than big-name manufacturers.

Polyphonic ringtones, photography, infrared and Bluetooth transmission, simple games and expensive Internet functions have begun to become selling points... Zhou Fuxi had a taste of the camera functions of mobile phones at that time, what should I say?

It's probably just a blur of colorful pixels, like a painter's palette, not to mention the ability to shoot at night.

What makes Zhou Fuxi even more confused is why everyone's mobile phone looks the same?

I don’t know whether Nokia, Motorola, or Samsung are the most popular right now... Maybe domestic models will dominate.

Zhou Fuxi made this judgment, of course, because the prosperous city in front of him reflected the super-developed industrial level.

The cities in a country with a very high industrial level are completely different from those in a country with a low level, especially in some details. It is impossible for a country with such a high industrial level not to enter the mobile phone industry.

Zhou Fuxi looked around. He felt that not only Junsha, but also the country's industrial strength might have exceeded his imagination. It might already be one of the top three industrial powers in the world.

This is a good thing. Zhou Fuxi nodded with satisfaction. He remembered that at that time, some people predicted that China's GDP would surpass RB in 2030. This was considered "overly optimistic" and was ridiculed. I don't know if it has been realized now.

The mobile phone shooting around him became more and more intense. Zhou Fuxi was not surprised that he was being watched. He did not use the little energy in his body to black out the screens of everyone's mobile phones, or let the neon lights explode to show that he was extraordinary in this place. Instead, he looked towards the surroundings. He smiled and waved, then hailed a taxi and left.

"Master, go to Dawang Town."

"Handsome, you're lucky. It's usually difficult to get a taxi at this time." The driver chewed the betel nut in his mouth and looked at Zhou Fuxi through the rearview mirror.

Zhou Fuxi also looked at him. The driver had abnormal chewing movements in his mouth and abnormal cheek muscles, which were related to his years of chewing betel nut. Therefore, his body revealed a special smell of tobacco and betel nut. There was a book of "Zhuangzi" in the car. ", and turned to the article "The Master of Health Preservation": A pheasant pecks at every ten steps, drinks at a hundred steps, and does not care for animals in Fanzhong...

Zhou Fuxi originally thought that this snack, which has a much higher disease incidence rate than tobacco, would soon be eliminated. As a result, people now smoke and eat betel nuts.

Human beings born from the universe pursue self-destruction just like the universe, and there seems to be no problem.

It seems that no matter how technology and industry develop, humans will still ignore health for the sake of extremely small pleasures and physiological addiction.

It is conceivable that today's teenagers may be more interested in "picking" which can bring weak pleasure and find it difficult to quit. After all, mobile phones seem to be more developed and popular now, so all kinds of astringent information are disseminated. Nature is also more pervasive.

He remembered that when mobile phone text messages became popular, there was a business method of using mobile phone text messages to spread erotic novels, and the online novels on computers were even more exciting and addictive.

Nowadays, this kind of novel may be able to include pictures and videos within chapters, and famous novelists can also invite some actors to present large-scale plots.

It's interesting to think about it. Zhou Fuxi looked at the two mobile phones placed by the driver on the center console with sharp eyes, without any intention of snatching them.

"It's not that I'm lucky, it's that you were attracted by my clothes, temperament and appearance. You ignored other potential passengers and stopped directly in front of me." Zhou Fuxi explained, because his luck has not been very good.

He relies on strength.

He rarely took taxis before. He remembered that taxi drivers at that time were basically equated with social delinquents. They often refused to go to places that were too close to each other. They had to cross the bridge and didn't want to go. They couldn't go out of the city and had to change shifts. Can't go.Places that are too far away may charge exorbitant prices, or they may not want to go if they think the destination is too remote to be picked up for the return trip. In short, taking a taxi depends not only on the luck of the passengers, but also on their faces.

With the progress of urban civilization, these phenomena may be improved, but some things are determined by human nature, so they will probably decrease, but they will not completely disappear.

"What you said...hey, it does make some sense."

The driver was stunned for a moment, then laughed twice.

"My son also likes this kind of clothing. He said it's called Hanfu. He wears it when he has nothing to do and walks around the streets. He also has a group of friends who also like fancy clothes."

Hanfu?

Zhou Fuxi doesn’t think Hanfu is a fancy dress, but what he is wearing doesn’t count as Hanfu either.

Compared with the current attire, it is not a problem to use the word "outlandish clothes" to describe it. Zhou Fuxi tilted his head, shrank his feet, and sat sideways. Because of his height and crown, he was in this sedan car. I felt a little aggrieved.

When he was outside, the energy in his body was almost gone. Now he did not have the luxury of using spells such as space expansion to make himself more comfortable. Instead, the feeling of returning to ordinary people's life made him feel slow. Slowness gives rise to the satisfaction of getting familiar with everything again.

Go east along Jiefang West Road, turn around at Xiangnan Provincial People's Hospital, which Zhou Fuxi is familiar with, then drive south for a while and enter Renmin West Road, until you reach Xiangjiang Middle Road along the river.

Zhou Fuxi opened the car window and saw the huge changes in the city scenery along the way, attracting his eyes and memories for comparison.

Especially the young sculptures on Orange Island, which gazed deeply at the human world in front of them, made Zhou Fuxi feel that this is the sculpture art that can shock the soul and guide life. Its spiritual value is unparalleled, far exceeding those that can only appear in private scenes. Works from collections and auction houses.

Cross the river from Xiangfu Road Bridge, pass by Yanghu National Wetland Park, and then drive south for a while before reaching your destination.

"Handsome guy, we're here." The driver reminded Zhou Fuxi as he glanced at Zhou Fuxi, who was rummaging around in the back seat, taking out his sleeves and pockets, his expression gradually becoming confused.

Zhou Fuxi found that he had no money. He was obviously so wealthy back then. He had everything in his storage magic weapon, except that he didn't put any money in it. But even if he did, it would probably be the fifth set of currency in 1999, so it may not be circulated.

"Scan code or cash?" The driver glanced up and down before asking again.

Scan code?Zhou Fuxi doesn't understand it very well, but that may not be a payment method he can use now.

So Zhou Fuxi hesitated for a moment, then took out a green fruit from his sleeve pocket and said to the driver: "This is the lowest grade willow fruit with basic medicinal properties. It can prevent oral cancer and treat oral fibrosis. It’s suitable for you, let’s use it to pay for the bus fare.”

The driver looked at the green fruit, then looked at Zhou Fuxi, his expression gradually changed to bewilderment, "Handsome guy, if you don't have any money, tell me, add a WeChat account and forward it to me. Bring me a betel nut." Talking about how it can prevent cancer, treat oral cavity and so on? Please don’t treat me like a treasure.”

How is this different from giving arsenic to a poisoned patient and saying that the medicine will cure the disease?
"Oh, that's okay too." Zhou Fuxi agreed. What does adding WeChat mean?
Mostly it is some kind of means with communication and payment functions, and it is used frequently on a daily basis, so you should be able to learn to use it quickly.

As for the driver's mistaking the willow fruit for betel nut, he didn't explain much. This fruit does look a bit like the unripe betel nut on the tree, but many people who eat betel nut all year round may not have seen the green fruit.

"But it can't be done now. There's something wrong with you. I can't trust you." Even a well-informed taxi driver saw this for the first time with a betel nut fruit as payment for the fare. "You...you ...You," the driver pointed around, "please put your sword here with me as collateral."

This sword looks like it is worth at least a hundred dollars... The driver thought that if the other party really defaulted on his debt, this sword could be left for his son to play with. Wearing Hanfu requires a sword to look cool.

Zhou Fuxi memorized the driver's mobile phone number, then looked at his sword and threw it in the car.
