Is it really the Ark of Tomorrow?

Fast and Slow

The streets of Longmen are sometimes bustling and noisy, but it is very likely that there will be incomparably quiet and serene just across the wall.

Just like the small alley where Li Lin is staying now, although you can see countless noisy crowds walking and buying in the brightly lit night market next door, there are very few people walking here.

Some little hooligans who seemed to be dubious didn’t come over to mess around, on the contrarySome kind-hearted old people, or middle-aged people who look tired often stop and go in this stall, or directly take a bowl of fish balls in a paper box and eat while walking, or simply order sauce soup Sit on a small chair and savor slowly.

Sometimes, if you really slow down, you can enjoy different scenery. As it is now, it is obviously noisy outside, but looking at the slow rhythm, feeling the unprecedented peace and tranquility, Li Lin chewed the chewy fish balls slowly, Taste real food that you haven’t had in years.

It is completely different from the exquisite concept extracted. The real fish balls are a little rough. Although the owner has worked hard to make such a delicious bowl by hand, it is still too simple for the concept of soul extraction. . However, the feeling that the living thing was gradually wriggling in his mouth, and the substance rubbed in the mouth with the chewing action, and finally swallowed alone, still made Li Lin feel a little strange and familiar.

And looking at the two bright moons in the sky, Li Lin suddenly realized that he probably hadn’t lived normally in this world for a long time.

He has always been like a clockwork top, crazily running around in this world, and has been developing, researching, and sorting out various data for several years and decades. with all this.

He was the first to go deep into the river, he was the one who was first responsible for drilling holes, and he was the one who was always responsible for suppressing the concept in the deepest part of the river. The time velocity in those surface hole areas has reached an outrageous level, so how many times the velocity will Li Lin, who is immersed in the deepest part of the river and vowed to use his own ability to deal with everything, face it?

He himself has forgotten how many times he has fought, and he has also forgotten many of his feelings and thoughts. Except that the anger brought about by those sacrifices was still raging in his chest, he didn’t remember what it was like outside for a long time. Most of the time, I simply take responsibility for my actions and then reflect on my own life. Life in Colombia even allowed him to find a touch of sensibility that he had not seen for a long time.

Originally, he wanted to spend more time with Ifrit and Sereya, but after the real hole crisis appeared, he left without hesitation.

There has been no sleep for a long time, and there has been no peace for a long time. It may have been close to a hundred years for such an intertwined day of illusion and reality, and now it has finally come to an end.

But now he is in a position that many normal people dare not even think about. His language and thinking have become some kind of pollution, his behavior and thoughts are closer to the gods, and all of this is not what he wanted at the beginning.

What would happen if we slowed down from the very beginning?

“Little brother, have another bowl of fish balls.”

“it is good.”

After receiving the fish balls handed over by the gray messy-haired owner of the Usas shop, Li Lin curled up a bit, ate the fish balls slowly, and thought about his own life.

If he had slowed down at the very beginning, he might not have participated in the selection for the Victoria Royal Guards School, let alone do anything eye-catching. Rather, I started doing those things because I wanted to do something.

But if he had made up his mind to slow down from the beginning, he would definitely not have gone there. It is more likely to be kicked out of the orphanage after becoming an adult, and then find some place to waste your life, save a sum of money, relying on your excellent language ability—or a language that is no different from your original world, Come to Longmen to have a meal.

Then rely on your ability and eloquence to open a small shop here, or wait for the opportunity from the beginning, trying to join Penguin Logistics. It was a very popular organization, the people in it were good-looking, and all of them spoke nicely. A handsome guy with affection and intentions like himself will definitely be able to mix well into the small team that seems to have no problems but actually has big problems. Success and beautiful girl stickers.

Then after a period of time, I will complete a series of tasks logically and get in touch with the hearts of popular and beautiful girls. After so many years, by the time the main line arrives, I might have children.

By then, I might be very happy. At least live a much happier life than now. Every day, I complain about some important national events, enjoy the life surrounded by beautiful girls, and come to an exciting race from time to time, swaying my youth and life.

I will definitely live a very happy life and get a very complete and even more satisfying life. It won’t be like now, like an old dog who is about to die of exhaustion, planning his final plan and life, squatting here alone drinking fish soup and eating fish balls.

Yes, although on the surface I am very young, but spiritually, too long has passed. Even normal human interactions become mottled and fragmented.

And his thoughts and ideas are already contrary to normal human beings. Is this choice right or wrong?

Is it better to get such a result in an accelerated world, or is it better to slow down and get a happier world?

Looking at the soup left in his bowl, Li Lin somehow felt more and more tired and less interested.

And at this time, a pale palm stretched out in front of him.

“Boss, pay.”

“Wait a mininute,I went out and got someone to come and pay for it for me. Can you give me two more bowls of fish balls? ”

“…Boss, you’re not going to fool me, are you?”

“Do you think I look like a fool? Let me tell you, when I gave lectures in Columbia, the venue was packed with people. How could I lie to you for two bowls of fish balls?”

“…”

Seeing the boy selling fish balls silently put the knife aside, as if he was about to call the police, Li Lin suddenly realized that this might be a real social crisis since his time travel.
