At ten o'clock in the morning, it was raining lightly in the city, and the sky was still as dark as ink.

Lu Li was wearing a transparent raincoat and holding a metal storage box in his hand as he walked on the crowded street.

Frankly speaking, he felt that the stacked neon signs were extremely dazzling and had no aesthetic appeal, especially compared to the billboards on the wall of the building two hundred meters ahead, they looked inferior.

"Hello handsome."

"I'm very tired today."

A beautiful girl with deep features and exquisite makeup was projected on the giant screen. She was looking at Lu Li with a smile, stretched out a finger, and said in a gentle tone, "Are you alone?"

"I can accompany you."

It was just an advertisement. Even if Lu Li had never seen the world before, he would not answer it.

After the novelty subsided, he lifted his steps and prepared to leave the entertainment area where he was currently, when the girl's soft and charming voice sounded again: "You look like a good man."

A good man?

Lu Li was amused. He paused and continued watching this advertisement from the future.

I have to say that the girl on the screen looks particularly charming. She is half squatting, pointing one finger at passers-by, and her lips are slightly open.

Which female star is this?

What product are you endorsing?

Just as Lu Li was guessing, the beautiful girl disappeared, and a piece of text flashed with pink light:

【Joy Company, let you feast your eyes】

[Want to customize your own holographic girlfriend? With only 900 credits, there will be one more person who loves you in this cold city]

Hiss...human beings in the future are really good at using neon Al girls to seduce men.

Next to Lu Li, a man with an African-American face was breathing rapidly.

"Oh my God, I'm going to have her."

Next to him, an Asian man with slender eyes spoke to dissuade him: "Dan, calm down, you just bought an apartment in District 16 with a loan, and you still have to repay the principal and interest every month."

"No, I can sell one eye and replace it with the most advanced prosthetic body."

The black brother seemed to have been single for a long time and was desperate for love. He squeezed his friend's arm hard and said excitedly: "And the remaining money was used to buy her. Don't you think it's a big deal to suddenly have someone who cares about you?"

Is it a beautiful thing?"

The conversation between the two was very interesting, and they immediately attracted a police officer. He was wearing a black raincoat, with a metal circuit exposed on his face, indicating his identity——

Synthetic human.

"Sir, because of your dangerous remarks, please come with me."

The moment he saw the certificate, the black man's face froze. He suddenly remembered that starting last month, the Human Protection Act officially came into effect, and one of the provisions prohibited the sale of organs.

Before that, free people could sell their organs at will. Limbs were the cheapest, followed by eyeballs and internal organs, while spine, cerebellum, and pons were the most expensive. If you sold any of them, you would have no worries about food and drink for the rest of your life.

The reason for this is related to a rule issued by the Planet Alliance: if all planets in the alliance want to improve their level, they must ensure that the number of humans within their jurisdiction remains within a certain range.

Take "Nemesis No. 216" where Flowing Light City is located, for example. It currently belongs to the third level. The government must ensure that the number of humans in the area accounts for more than 16% of the total population. Otherwise, it will be downgraded by the alliance and some of its technology and funds will be withdrawn.

support.

In addition, the concept of human beings is also very interesting.

First of all, synthetics, replicants, and robots are not human beings.

Secondly, residents like Lu Li who have never had prosthetic limbs are pure human beings, while those residents who have had prosthetic limbs are subdivided into multiple levels according to the unified rules established by the alliance.

Like the residents who sold their cerebellums and replaced them with prosthetic limbs, ten of them together can be considered a pure human being.

Therefore, since the "Human Protection Act" came into effect, Lu Li instantly became a "noble".

In my memory, the government first subsidized a high-end apartment, and then arranged for him to attend the best high school in the city. Although he had not graduated yet, the government had already booked him into the best college on the planet.

That's why Lu Li appeared in the entertainment area——

In the past, children were too poor to have access to entertainment facilities. Now that they have become upper-class people, they naturally have to go to the game arcade to experience them.

By the way, today is not a day off. Lu Li's behavior is skipping class.

"A real man should conquer the stars and the sea. What's the point of sitting in school?"

The original owner didn't like staying in school and hated dealing with advanced mathematics and advanced physics, let alone Lu Li, who had just arrived but had already established lofty ideals.

High school student?

There is no way for people in society to feel comfortable.

For Lu Li, the most important thing right now is to build a spaceship, gather a team, and start exploring the universe.

In addition, it is also important to study history seriously. You must know that the school does not assign tasks to them, so they can only find things to do on their own.

You can't just stay at home and perform daily shows every day, right?

Next..., Lu Li looked at the time and saw that it was almost noon. He decided to go home first to check if any equipment was missing.

Then, plan how to realize the dream of exploring the stars. After all, no matter how rich a high school student is, he can't afford a spaceship, even the most basic one, so he has to find a way to make money.

"Woooooooo..."

Suddenly, the whistle sounded.

A steam locomotive is traveling at high speed along the track. God knows why this kind of transportation powered by boiling water can be so fast.

Unfortunately, the inherited memory told Lu Li that he could not take this kind of bus, as the machine ticket inspectors on it would check the packages one by one.

Therefore, he could only choose to walk home.

1:20 p.m.

Kabukicho.

"The white plover that lives in Bashizunoiso!"

On the billboard on the wall, a broad-faced lady in a kimono is singing, but the subtitles next to it are: Strong わかもと.

A gastrointestinal medicine called "Qiang Wakamoto" can treat hyperacidity, constipation, loss of appetite, and strengthen the body.

On the street, drunk men supported each other. They came out of the bar and walked along the street for a few steps before they were taken away by a group of sexy girls.

"Nichiryu", "Quality Assurance Shop", "Eigaido", "Turra", "うどんそば中野"

Here, neon signs are becoming more dense, and there are many more old-fashioned lanterns.

In addition, when passing by the dark alley, Lu Li also saw many familiar and friendly words written on the wall with paint: Wind Tiger Yunlong, Brothers Dragon and Tiger, the haze will not dissipate, Nine Yang Magic, never,

Honor list, safe entry and exit, compatriots...

With the advent of the era of the big universe, the small concept of country has been abandoned and replaced by the federation and the planetary alliance.

However, in this case, people still like to live together with people of the same skin color and eye color.
