Xu Cheng left, and Xu Yang walked along the wooden pier walkway.
The blue water surges under the metal railing. This is the famous Monicaland Pier on the West Coast. Many movies and games have been shot here.
The landmark small Ferris wheel is parked at the end of the pier, surrounded by colorful tents. There is a row of tall palm trees outside the beach, setting off the coastal road and the colorful exterior walls of the hotel.
He had never thought that he would walk here in his lifetime, thinking that things in games would always be games.
At this moment, Xu Yang received a communication invitation from Rohit Memnon.
Memnon was the Speaker of the West Coast Treaty Organization, the CEO of Night Gate Technology Company, and a big shot. He had just stepped down two weeks before the catastrophe and escaped the disaster. He also gave the Shenhui to Xu Yang.
Has he returned to the west coast? Xu Yang thought to himself. Shouldn't Memnon retire somewhere in Taixi?
"Hello." Xu Yang answered the signal.
"Oh, Mr. Xu, I'm on the west coast. Could you please take a moment to meet me?" Memnon asked.
"I'm at the Monica Paradise Pier." Xu Yang said.
"I'll be there right away."
Xu Yang leaned against the metal railing, and Memnon came five minutes later.
His private shuttle looked like a crimson bird, standing out on the beach. A tall robot got off first and stood next to the shuttle, acting as a bodyguard.
"That robot is a 'BBQ stove' produced by Taixizhou Covenant Industry?" Xu Yang asked.
He is very concerned about the subtle changes in the current world. After the catastrophe, the companies in Taixizhou gathered the remaining industrial resources together and established the Taixizhou Covenant Industry.
"Yes, yes." Memnon had gray hair and was wearing a gray formal suit. He was respectful to Xu Yang. He stretched out his hand and shook Xu Yang's hand with a smile on his face, "Finally I see you again, Mr. Xu.
"
"Why are you back on the west coast?" Xu Yang asked, "Didn't you want to retire back then?"
"I did go back to my hometown in Taixizhou before, but I couldn't adapt to the environment there. Everything was too old, the pace was too slow, and the people there didn't like me. I got up to work at six o'clock, and others were still in a coma.
I'm about to sleep. I'm like the catfish that accidentally stumbled into the sardine cargo hold. The environment has been bad these past few years, with various places isolated, surrounded by dangers, and alien monsters everywhere. I feel really uncomfortable." Memnon said helplessly.
"The work culture of the West Coast is more suitable for you." Xu Yang said.
"Yes, to be exaggerated, this city was calling me. So I came back with great interest, and I came back full of vision. I thought, although I am only an honorary citizen of New Taipei Province, I am no better than a local citizen.
Well, I have knowledge, professional ability, and my own resources, so I should be able to get ahead," Memnon said.
"It seems that you are not nominated on the committee lists." Xu Yang said.
"...Yes, after the catastrophe, many people have changed, and many ideas have also changed." Memnon sighed.
"The West Coast is responding to the call and is preparing to build a new citizen community." Xu Yang said.
"Not one, but twenty. In the future, the West Coast will be divided into 20 distinct cities: Tequila City, Summer Street, Rainbow Flag Community, Aboriginal Community, Black Community, Robot Street, and Furry Street.
, Two-Dimensional City, Lalafell Reservation, New Katsuragi Gang, Fifty-Star Flag...all are in chaos, everyone is doing his own thing." Memnon lamented.
"That's pretty good." Xu Yang disagreed.
"Of course, this was your idea originally. You advocated decentralizing the whole world and letting everyone live their own lives. After I returned to the West Coast as a 'big man', I found that this was indeed the case. They all lived their own lives and didn't care about me at all.
.There is no longer the 'elite class' and rich people's club that I was used to, and the people left behind began to form groups based on their own ideas." Memnon complained.
"I think people can organize their own production and life. Each member is not only the master of his own body and abilities, but also the leader and master of the entire society. Everyone has equal status and weight in their respective societies.
Now, all the forces that used to rule and monopolize everything have been damaged and beaten badly. Then, if there is no leader, the world will be in trouble." Xu Yang said.
"But you also need to establish a council and an army of councils." Memnon said confused.
"Yes, but this is voluntary. The members of the council are all voluntary, and the resources provided by others are also provided on a voluntary basis. And what the council does is not to manage or rule, but not to
Selfishly assisting the entire civilization to resist foreign enemies, to be honest, what the council does is a hard job." Xu Yang said.
"According to your thinking, there will no longer be such powerful large-scale enterprises, and there will be no powerful people who can force others to do this or that. After this, we can only sincerely believe that people will naturally move towards a state of order.
Make a living on your own without management." Memnon said helplessly.
"When intelligent life first generated thoughts from chaos and disorder, we had already entered a state of order." Xu Yang said.
"I originally came to ask for your help to find a job on the new west coast." Memnon pressed his hands on the railing. "The world I understand has been turned upside down in the past six years. I miss the old world, which has
There are many shortcomings, but they are also very clear. For example, a giant enterprise, since it leaves you with nowhere to go, then you join a giant enterprise and slowly climb up in it. A giant enterprise has its own army, laws and currency, and you only need to
Just be a cell in this monster. If you are lucky, you can rise from the soles of your feet to your brain. Then sit and watch the people outside the giant companies, those who work hard in small companies and do odd jobs on the streets.
The people who sell their hard-earned money in the factory, see how they suffer, just like this, looking at them with coffee in hand, I feel the best sense of superiority from the bottom of my heart."
"Resources have been concentrated in giant enterprises, and people's livelihood remains at a very low level. Technology is extremely advanced, and life is extremely poor." Xu Yang said.
"Yes, but I had the opportunity to join a giant company as soon as I was born, so I didn't feel much about it. Now think about it, those people who were born in poor places did not have the rights and interests they had when they were born, and they will never be able to fight for it in this life." Memnon said.
"People are tired." Xu Yang said, "People were terribly poor at that time."
"Hey, what about now? The West Coast is very strange now. The 'stability' I used to appreciate is gone. There are no employee handbooks or life guides to guide our survival," Memnon said.
"I feel that something truly closely related to ideals is sprouting in people's hearts now. These things have sparked a spark and will create a greater fair society than in the past and create bold miracles." Xu Yang said.
"You are the greatest idealist I have ever seen. What you said is really like a beautiful dream." Memnon sighed longly, "——Maybe I really should retire."
"Retrieve your past ideals. I guess when you returned to the West Coast, you originally thought you could get a job as mayor. Now you can't become the mayor, but you can still find what you really want to do." Xu Yang said.
Memnon looked at the undulating sea, and his thoughts seemed to drift back to his childhood.
"I want to." Memnon paused, then repeated, "I want to open a bookstore."
"Bookstore?" Xu Yang was curious.
"When I was 11 years old, I bought two books from a bookstore, one was "Introduction to Circuit Programming and Design" and the other was "Fire on the Abyss". The things written in the first book have been archived by me.
I have reached the area to be destroyed in the chip, but I always remember the story told in the last book. The story in the book... is so amazing. 80 years have passed, and the story is still so beautiful, so beautiful! The story in the novel
, led me to enjoy an unparalleled strange life. I feel that we humans rely on stories to sustain our lives. So I should also open a bookstore and sell stories to young people. I am 91 years old this year. When I am nearly a hundred years old, I seem to really
I will open a bookstore when I have time." Memnon raised his head and looked at the sky.
"I wish you good luck." Xu Yang shook hands with him.
"Thank you." Memnon sighed, "I just think that it may be difficult for people to achieve that ideal state, and people may have to drive backwards in the future."
"If we don't reverse the course, it won't be worthy of being called history." Xu Yang said.
Memnon nodded and said goodbye to Xu Yang. He got on his shuttle and returned to the dilapidated city on the west coast, where there were tens of millions of survivors who had been evacuated from the interior, trying to rebuild the city brick by brick.
.
People can't always look down on themselves. Xu Yang thought to himself. The past is gone forever, history itself has been killed. The great existences that were once famous have either fallen or been forgotten.
If civilization is like a messy canvas, it has been wiped clean by the fires of successive wars. Now the surviving people are painting it with the colors of the new era one stroke after another.
The future starts now.
…
Falosa reunited the fragments of the throne, just like she did in Aizu City, she entered the space of the throne again and summoned all the ancient mystics.
"In the past, Orxian'an gave orders from the throne. It swallowed up the god-ascending machine. It was so powerful that all the gods were forced to kneel forward and worship Orxian'an." Falosa took Xu Yang into the space of the god's throne.
.
She sat on the brand new divine throne, placing her hands on the armrests of the chair, waiting for the gods to appear.
"How does it feel to sit on the throne?" Xu Yang was curious.
"It's just an iron chair, it's hard." Farossa scoffed.
"You will also ask them to kneel down and move forward." Xu Yang said.
"No, it won't." Falosa was reminded by Xu Yang. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but get up.
She stood on a high step similar to a black stage, with many seats below her in a semicircle facing Falosa. Soon they would arrive one by one to participate in the first meeting of the gods and decide on the laws of the new world.
Yando and his three brothers arrived.
The Corporate Alliance originally contained the fourth Titan, and now it has also been released, the gas giant Faeus Faye.
It has long cooperated with the agents of the Corporate Alliance. They handed over their souls and lifespans, and Faus taught them the special spell of "vaporization".
"Are they still involved in formulating the laws of the new world?" Falosa asked.
"If you don't participate, Yanduo will go home." Xu Yang said, "Now I understand why Yanduo insists on finding its three brothers and returning to Xingyun Township together, because it would be too lonely to go back alone."
