Life in the collapsed world from scratch

"I'm almost past the age of development..." Cheng Xi thought for a while, and then tried to give a negative example: "Besides, Teresa eats on time every day, and I don't see how tall she is. ?”

"..."

Anna would not comment on this.

……

Walking on the bustling streets with people coming and going, Cheng Xi felt a little strange when he saw the scene of the fusion of technology and humanities around him.

Speaking of which, this is the second time he has come to Tianqiong City, but the last time he came here was just passing through the sky in a hurry, and did not actually come to the city, so if it is strictly counted, this should only be his first time to the city.

Seeing the city he saved with his own hands, Cheng Xi couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Different from the sky city he had been to before, every part of this city is filled with a sense of science fiction that is highly integrated with technology, which is also a major feature of sky city.

If we only look at the level of technology, the anti-entropy must be higher than that of Tianqiong City.However, unlike Tianqiong City, Anti-Entropy mainly develops military technology, and does not integrate it with people's livelihood in large quantities. This also creates a completely different technological atmosphere in this city and Anti-Entropy Base.

This is also a characteristic of technological civilization, that is, different route choices for the same goal will lead to completely different effects.It’s as if human beings have different choices between difference engine and electronic computer, mechanical prosthesis and biological limb cloning, liquid crystal screen and plasma screen, tokamak and stellarator… On the same basic theoretical science, different choices lead to paths There are many possibilities for development, which is also one of the charms and risks of technological civilization.

After all, no one can guarantee that the path he is taking is correct until he reaches a certain end.

For example, the pre-civilization, in Cheng Xi's view, has embarked on a road of obsessing with the fusion of warriors. Whether it is the research of stigmata or the manufacture of God's Key, it is essentially because of this road that they have to Developed, which also makes them have to spend a lot of energy on it. The greater the sunk cost, the harder it is to turn around.

...Of course, Cheng Xi himself only said this from the perspective of their failure, which can be regarded as a result theory.

As for himself... As mentioned earlier, he can't guarantee that his current path is correct.All he can guarantee is that he will not repeat the same failures of previous civilizations.

"That's why verification is needed..." Cheng Xi whispered to himself.

"Verify what?" The girl's curious voice came from beside him, interrupting his thoughts.

Only then did Cheng Xi realize that he shouldn't be thinking about these things at this time.

"It's just a wild idea."

He rubbed the head of the girl next to him and said.

Anna puffed up her cheeks slightly, as if she was dissatisfied with the boy's attitude of treating her like a child, but after hesitating for a moment, she was still reluctant to break free from his grasp.

"Speaking of..." Cheng Xi realized something.

Obviously possessing the power of the sky, I can jump to another city for breakfast at any time, right?Why bother with eating at home?

"What's the matter? Homemade food is always better than outside food, right?" Anna said, tilting her head.

This is...

Cheng Xi thought to himself.

Leaving aside my own words, Anna's current cooking skills are definitely much better than those of the breakfast shops outside.

Besides...

Glancing secretly at the young man beside her, Anna thought silently in her heart.

Cooking...sometimes it's not just for filling your stomach, master...

.......

Chapter 470 Master, what are you doing... Where are you from?

Although he said he would spend a day with Anna, Cheng Xi really didn't know what to do with her.

Anna herself didn't care, saying that as long as Master was by her side, it didn't matter even if she stayed in the anti-entropy base.

But Cheng Xi thought, wouldn't that be the same as usual?

After all, it's the girl's birthday, not to mention the tricks, at least there must be some things that are different from usual, and can be easily remembered when recalling in the future, right?

So, after thinking for a while, Cheng Xi brought her to Tianqiong City.

I didn't think too much about it, I just thought that since Anna grew up in Europe, she should be very familiar with that style of city, so I took her to see a different style.

And in his memory, the city with the most unique style probably belongs to Tianqiong City.

"Even in the world, there are very few cities like it that integrate technology so highly with people's livelihood."

Relying on the information they have memorized from the Internet, Cheng Xi and Anna showed off their knowledge.

It is probably useless to use this trick to deal with others, as long as you ask a few more questions, you will find that he actually doesn't understand it very well, but it is more than enough to deal with Anna... After all, before becoming Cheng Xi's apprentice, she She has actually been Cheng Xi's little fan girl from the very beginning.

Listening to the boy's introduction, Anna blinked her eyes, showing an expression of confusion.

"Master, it's amazing..."

"Cough cough..."

Cheng Xi coughed twice, silently put the phone back into his pocket, looked at the girl and continued, "Let's go on and see if we can find some place to eat."

When you come to a city to play, what do you usually need to do?

See the scenery, buy things, and eat.

In terms of scenery, the city itself is already a unique scenery, and there is no need to go to any scenic spot.As for shopping... Cheng Xi himself has no idea of ​​shopping, and Anna, who has always been dominated by him, naturally would not make such a request.

Then the only thing left is to find some delicious food to eat, right?

Although Anna's cooking skills are very good, there are some local characteristics that cannot be measured simply by cooking skills... That's why they are called characteristics.

Walking with the girl on the street full of science fiction, Cheng Xi thought in his heart.

As mentioned earlier, due to the key care of anti-entropy, the development of World Snake in the commercial field has been severely frustrated, and the development of its subsidiary Shencheng Pharmaceutical has been strictly restricted. Come here from Sky City.

This also led to the fact that Shencheng Pharmaceutical did not appear to be the dominant company in this city. Otherwise, Tianqiong City like that would probably be more like a cyberpunk city than it is now, right?

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·?

Cheng Xi thought to himself, and suddenly smelled a familiar smell, and stopped in front of a vendor.

"That's... hot and sour powder?"

"Eh? Does Master know you?" Anna was slightly taken aback, what was she selling on the Xinqi snack street just now.

"After all, I'm also from this country." Cheng Xi replied.

...... 0

Anna blinked her eyes. This was the first time she had heard her master talk about his own life experience... It should be said that the anti-entropy label on the young man was too heavy, and she had never considered this in the past.

"In your eyes, am I the kind of stateless anarchist?" Cheng Xi asked suspiciously.

Anna shook her head quickly: "No, no... I, I like Shenzhou very much too."

"You just learned about it today?"

"Now, now I like it..."

Then the speed at which you like something is really fast enough.

Cheng Xi rubbed her head: "Let's go, I'll take you shopping for more delicious food."

...Although he doesn't know much about this place.

"..."

Looking at the young man's back, Anna had a faint smile on her face, gave a soft "hmm", and started to chase after him... Death.

Chapter 470 Eight is the most important person

Originally, Cheng Xi was still a little worried, with Anna's taste, whether she could get used to the distinctive food here.

But now it seems...she seems to like it?

Looking at the girl who was holding a paper tube and tasting the skewers with relish, Cheng Xi thought in her heart.

But when you think about it, it is actually true. After all, in terms of individual differences, the objective genetic differences among modern humans are so small that even the smallest biological classification cannot be subdivided.

Under such a premise, the vast majority of human beings have the same perception of food. Putting aside the subjective differences in food culture, if a certain number of people think that food is "520" gourmet food, it will basically get a great deal of attention. What some people like is just a matter of habit and acceptance.

Maillard's reaction does not distinguish between races, so it can be said that not only music is common in the world, but also food.

"Master, master, this is delicious too!"

Anna handed a piece of glutinous rice cake covered with brown sugar to Cheng Xi, and shared it with him as if offering a treasure.

Of course I know this kind of thing...

Cheng Xi thought to himself, after all, it's not like he hasn't eaten before.

But looking at the girl's expectant eyes, after thinking about it, he still opened his mouth and ate the glutinous rice cakes that were handed to him.

Soon, the sweet taste spread in the mouth, paired with the soft and glutinous texture of the glutinous rice cake itself, it gave people a sense of satisfaction.

"It was really delicious."

How should I put it, although the price of seven yuan feels a bit expensive, but it is worth it to taste such a taste after a long absence, right?

"Hee hee~"

With the boy's affirmation, Anna smiled happily, took another piece of glutinous rice cake and put it in her mouth, showing a satisfied expression.

But then, she didn't know what to think of, and a blush soon appeared on her face.

"Stop wandering here, go to the next place." Cheng Xi patted her on the head lightly and said.

"Ah, oh..." Anna seemed to have just recovered, looked at the bamboo stick in her hand hesitantly, put it back into the box with a blushing face, carefully put it away, and hurriedly followed.

"Wait for me, Master!"

……

Walking on the street with people coming and going, Cheng Xi couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

In fact, at the beginning, Tianqiong City gave him the feeling that apart from the same geographical location, it basically had no similarities with the city in his memory.

But after coming to these snack streets and various small shops below, the smell and noise all over the street suddenly brought back his memories.

On one side is a metropolis full of sci-fi, and on the other is a small street full of fireworks. It really feels like cyberpunk.

Cheng Xi thought in his heart.

Looking at the lamenting young man beside her, Anna hesitated for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "Master, are you homesick...?"

"A little bit." Cheng Xi admitted without hiding it.
