On the way home, Hilda hardly said anything. She was wearing the new clothes that Hao Ren bought for her, and her worn and dirty old dress was contained in the clothes bag in her hand—this bag It was also the kind of disposable packaging that seemed unbelievable and extravagant to her. Looking at the bag in her hand, she seemed to be lost in thought. mx?mobile network
The two are walking on the sparsely populated streets in the southern suburbs. Because there is no urgent matter, Hao Ren didn't send it back directly. He thought that letting Hilda experience the public transportation on Earth might help the worried Elf Queen relax a bit. By the way divert her attention. After all, although Hilda will only stay here for two or three days, she can still be considered a trip to Earth. It’s just that these efforts seem to have no effect. Hilda is not in the mood to pay attention to how novel and interesting things are around her. She frowns most of the time and raises various questions about the way of life of the earth people. The rest of the time she just bows her head Brooding, completely absorbed in worries about his home kingdom.
Hilda did not show these things during the few days of walking in the dream plane, because at that time she walked through a wild area with everyone from beginning to end, and only slept one night in a simple and cramped lakeside outpost. Opportunity to observe and judge the lifestyle of the residents of the Dream Plane, she lamented that the vast blue sky and large natural forests of the Dream Plane were enviable - but Hao Ren didn't think about it at that time. Seeing Hilda's strange behavior now, Hao Ren couldn't help it: "Your hometown...what's it like?" He heard Hilda mention that the reason for her time travel was due to the lack of resources in her hometown, so she had to use space She teleported to find a new world where she could live, but the portal malfunctioned and she was thrown into the Dream Plane. But Hao Ren did not delve into this issue at that time.
How scarce are resources
Hilda was silent for a moment, and pointed to an old iron shelf on the street corner that had been abandoned for several years. This iron frame was placed there as a support for an advertising light box when the southern suburbs were still a little prosperous: "Have you seen those metals that were wasted for nothing?"
"oh… "
"We're going to resmelt these materials from various scraps, each of which has been recycled countless times before that. The energy and other chemical elements needed for resmelting come from a facility set up near a star, That facility, called a corona station, collects energy and trace elements from the sun's jets. Every year, the radiation and light disasters on the corona station consume the lives of hundreds of elves."
Hao Ren was stunned.
Hilda saw the sluggish look on this man's face, and she smiled expectantly: "I can't imagine, right? I was born and raised in such a world, and I have slightly higher material rations than other elves. But until I was transported to a world with vast blue sky and fresh air (dream plane), I also couldn't imagine what a world with abundant resources would look like." Hao Ren didn't want to admit it, but he really couldn't imagine Hilda What will my hometown be like. So he could only humbly bow his head, and began to think about what he could do—as an examiner.
The two returned to their residence in silence. Hao Ren put these things aside for the time being when he opened the door. dream plane. On the day of return, aliens, the "wall" that is about to collapse, and the spaceship that needs to find its owner, there are too many things that require his brain, and it is best to take one step at a time.
"I'm back!" Hao Ren stood at the door and greeted the living room. Immediately, Vivian's voice was heard from the kitchen: "Are you back? Go and rest first. Lunch will be ready in a while!"...
Hao Ren likes the current state of life very much: the noisy and abnormal tenants in the house are not just living here as tenants, these guys with special identities and sharing special secrets are more like a family getting together for warmth . No matter who comes home. You can stand at the door and shout "I'm back", and then there will be a response from somewhere in the house. This is the real homecoming.
A few months ago, Hao Ren could only welcome a silly cat rolling on the floor every day when he returned home, but now he can welcome a table of good meals.
oh. There is also a silly husky whose tail is wagging and almost falls off.
When Hao Ren came to the living room, Lily immediately rushed towards Hao Ren's smell. The target was the snack bag in Hao Ren's hand. The dog girl wagged her tail and tossed all kinds of snacks there: "Latiao, latiao..."
"Eat less spicy sticks," Hao Ren sighed, "What if I accidentally transform after eating too much?"
Lily is the first werewolf in history who will not be affected by moonlight, but will be completely animalized if he eats too many spicy strips-this we have said before.
Lily mumbled and ran to the refrigerator with her precious snacks in her arms, but Hao Ren suddenly found an unfamiliar-looking girl sitting on the sofa not far away: she was wearing ordinary casual clothes, with chestnut hair It was casually draped over her shoulders, her skin was a healthy wheat color, and she looked like a sports girl of mixed race. She was sitting on the sofa watching TV while fiddling with the remote control clumsily. When she noticed Hao Ren's gaze, she turned her head Lai waved his hand friendly.
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment before realizing: "Betsy?"
"Yeah," Becky waved the remote control excitedly, "It's so interesting to talk about you here! This thing called a TV... and this remote control! Your alchemy skills are amazing!"
"Well, I didn't recognize it all at once," Hao Ren looked at Becky's completely earth-like outfit in amazement. The mercenary girl who was originally dressed like a fantasy ranger changed into Nangong Wuyue's casual clothes. The ponytail was also loosened and turned into a daily hairstyle, and there seemed to be a little light makeup on her face (it should be helped by Nangong Wuyue), which made her look like a different person, "This dress looks very suitable."
"Ah, it's pretty good," Becky tugged at the clothes on her body, "But Nangong Wuyue said that something is missing, and wants to take me to the street tomorrow..."
At this time, Nangong Wuyue came over from the side: "Oh, go buy her two underwear tomorrow..."
Hao Ren was immediately embarrassed to continue on this topic.
Becky studied the working principle between the remote control and the TV with great enthusiasm, and she even wanted to use magic to test the energy connection between the two "alchemy props", but considering that she had no place here After reading the article, she dismissed the idea that she might sell herself to pay off the debt. She asked Hao Ren very curiously: "You must be quite a big shot here, right?"
Hao Ren was puzzled: "Why do you say that?"
Betsy pointed at the TV, and then pointed at the surrounding electric lights and air conditioners: "Look at these, the huge crystal screen, the magic lamp that doesn't use grease, and the temperature control device! I never saw such a thing when I went to the Earl's house to pick up a mission. Awesome thing, you must be a big shot here! And you said that you are dedicated to managing the world shuttle, I think I hugged my thigh... "
Hao Ren suddenly coughed: "Ahem... It's not the same thing. My job is classified as a secrecy profession. In addition, the things you see here are actually common electrical appliances on the earth. Almost everyone here has them."
Becky's eyes widened immediately: "Are you kidding! Everyone has these luxuries?"
Hao Ren spread his hands: "Science is the primary productive force, and demand is the godfather of productive forces. If your alchemy workshop can realize the importance of market economy and industrialization transformation, you can also live like this, I know You guys have a similar technology base, but they are all limited to a small range of applications.”…
Becky stared blankly with her mouth open for a long time, then she suddenly came to her senses and took out the "music box" that Hao Ren had given her before: "How much is this thing worth to you?"
Nangong Wuyue, who was lying next to her watching the play, suddenly couldn't hold back a puff: Miss Sea Demon is in trouble. She had already guessed that Hao Ren would face this kind of problem soon, and she has been holding back until now.
Hao Ren's face was instantly the same color as Doudou's tail, and he couldn't get rid of one sentence: people from other worlds are not stupid!
"Well, you don't need to talk about it," Becky knew what was going on just by looking at Hao Ren's face, but she didn't seem to care much about it, or another thought that fascinated her completely overwhelmed her. Unhappy with the deception, she looked down at the "music box" in her hand and muttered to herself, "This thing is probably just a toy here, but at least it can be exchanged for several horses on our side..."
Hao Ren's ears perked up immediately: "What do you want to say?"
Becky held the "music box" and raised her head expectantly: "Buy a lot of music boxes from the earth, take them back and sell them for money, and then send our worthless alchemy waste to you to sell as gems. Within half a year, I can Accumulate a large sum of money, then set up business firms in the two worlds, monopolize cross-border trade, and hire many, many bodyguards to protect me. During this time, someone may detect my secret and come to provoke me, so I smashed myself with money Become a peerless expert to kill them, and then I will use money to kill every troublemaker, and by the way, I will be enshrined as a countess...or even a duchess...no , I might as well buy a piece of land in the east to build a city and become king, and then I have to fight against the evil forces in the world... If there are no evil forces, I will spend my own money to build one, anyway, I have to find a way to make myself The name goes down in history... Hehe, hehehe... I don't need to be a mercenary anymore, I can eat a bowl of stew from now on... "
Hao Ren: "..."
Dare love this girl is the main character, right? She knows the way of thinking of the two worlds without a teacher! )
