The sun is shining brightly outside the window, the thick double-glazed windows cut off the bleak cold wind outside the house, leaving only the pleasant winter sunshine into the living room. On the big rocking chair, taking advantage of the winter afternoon sun, drowsy and drowsy, he looked like the evil landlord Lao Cai. Ding Dong ran around along the armrest of the rocking chair, and occasionally came over to grab my buttons and hit the swing, making a fuss about going out to play, but no one paid attention to this little thing who was a little too excited after finally being jet-lagged. Out of the corner of his eye, the black and white maid outfit flashed past - flashing past the coffee table, it was An Weena who was busy cleaning the room, and the little ghost's route of action was always the shortest between two points.
Life is so leisurely and the world is so beautiful, I feel that I am about to become a fairy at this time.
Not far behind is Little Bubble, who is quietly playing with something by herself. Ji Xingxian is sitting on the blanket next to the little girl and staring at the ceiling in a daze. My elder sister is teaching Mercury Lamp to write the names of our whole family. The little puppet So full of resentment towards Sandora.
On the other side, there are two guys sitting on the sofa in class. One is Lilina. It's Fina, this unsmiling queen girl is obediently holding a notebook, recording what the other party told her. This scene looks a bit weird, but you can understand it if you know what they are talking about: today's topic Yes, common sense to live in this world.
Fina, the former mechanical queen who has not lived in human life for hundreds of years, is as weak as a piece of white paper in terms of common sense. It took me half a day to let her remember that the water must be boiled before drinking, and then I used it again. It took another half a day for her to remember that it needs to be left to cool for a while—of course, considering the physical fitness of the Xiling Apostle, it seems that she doesn't know these two common senses, but this still shows that Fina is an idiot in terms of common sense , so it is not surprising that she came to listen to Lilina's class. No matter how unreliable, Lilina can still undertake this teaching task.
The little teacher who is more than one meter away today is talking about Chinese customs and taboos between people who need to know to live in this world. This kind of knowledge is something that Fina urgently needs to catch up on. I feel very gratified that the unreliable fake loli finally has a serious business.
"Remember, you can't get a haircut during the first month!"
Lilina said sternly, and Fina blinked, and quickly wrote this sentence in her small notebook, and then asked curiously: "Why? Will you catch a cold?"
"Because a haircut in the first month will kill my uncle."
Lilina said with a sad face, her voice was very reliable.
Fina nodded in a daze, she didn't know what she was thinking, and suddenly showed a shocked expression, jumped off the sofa and ran to me, looking at me with big eyes full of panic: "You guys want to sum up this rule How many uncles did you kill?"
I jumped out of the rocking chair with a bang, and Ji Xingshan, who was in a daze, stretched out her hand to call for help: her neck was stretched, and my sister was holding the hand of the mercury lamp to trace the word "Wei" for Kai Erwei, but she used too much force Pricked a hole in the book suddenly, the mercury lamp began to scream, and Lilina immediately understood what she should do: she dragged her recycling basket from the side of the sofa, and jumped in by herself: "Call me when you are eating. "
"What's wrong?" Fina looked at the scene where a group of people in the living room were turned upside down in an instant inexplicably, and opened her mouth with a very innocent expression, "Is there a question I asked?"
It turned out that she knew it was her own problem!
I slapped my forehead and stood up, and slipped Lilina out of the basket. The little girl started kicking and kicking and protesting. Na!"
"It's not normal for my uncle to shave his head and die in the first month!" Lilina protested righteously, "I saw you telling Mercury Lamp that way the day before yesterday! Do you dare to say that you didn't teach her this because Mercury Lamp doesn't have an uncle?"
I:"… "
I shouldn't have tried to communicate normally with Lilina from the very beginning. When I encountered this mobile novelty-seeking machine, it was the most basic moral quality for a new citizen of imperialism to give her a few brains!
After kneading Lilina's little face into a red bun, I spent ten minutes explaining to Fina in detail what was going on with the saying that my uncle had his head shaved and died in the first month. Obviously, the former queen felt very difficult about the so-called folk taboo I understand, or she doesn't understand all the taboos that exist but are unreasonable. Fina listened to me and told her that this is just a customary custom, but in fact, both the uncle and the second uncle follow your hair. After having nothing to do with it, he frowned in distress: "Then why is there such a statement? It is unscientific, and it does not generate any benefits, and it will also affect the income of the barber..."
"People believe this," I spread my hands, "at least the Chinese people believe this, you don't have to believe it, but if others regard this thing as a taboo, you have to be scruples, that's what the so-called custom taboo means. Of course you are in the shadow The city should not be exposed to this kind of statement, so take this incident as an example of your understanding of the so-called 'customs and taboos'."
"Then this is worthless knowledge," Fina muttered, pointing at Lilina, "Then why did she tell me these things?"
I looked at Lilina, who had been thrown into the recycling basket by myself, with the eyes of blessing my eighth generation ancestors, and gritted my teeth and said, "She deserves a beating!"
"Don't mind, boss!" Lilina quickly shrank her neck in the basket, "Fina really takes it seriously, she will beat me to death by then!"
I glanced at Fina in surprise, and she nodded seriously: "You said, she deserves a beating. You are my friend, so I will help."
There was a burst of people in the living room, and I found that talking to the girl in front of me was too much fun. You must be prepared to suppress your ribs before you open your mouth. This blank girl will take anything you say seriously—as long as After she decides to believe in you, and she will put any of her ideas into practice and say it frankly, without any flamboyance, such a clean girl is a rare animal in this era, basically the modern loli is over five years old It’s almost hard to lead them to see goldfish anymore. Ninety-nine out of a hundred people over the age of twelve who still believe that mermaids will turn into bubbles after they die are all staying in the Juvenile Intellectual Correction Center, and the remaining one is named Fei. Na, I'm sure of this because yesterday morning she was holding a high school physics book and wanted to discuss with me the law of conservation of mass and the corresponding relationship between the volume of a mermaid after it turns into a bubble. Isana was there at the time, and then there was no …
I think Fina and Lilina should have as little contact as possible in the future. The latter is keen to wash the nerves of normal people with his curious worldview, and Fina, who knows nothing, is undoubtedly the best experimental field for her. , she will definitely try her best to instill all kinds of common sense in Fina. I can't imagine that if Fina continues to keep in touch with this fake loli from the inside out, what will this simple mechanical girl look like one day...
"Speaking of which, I see that Avalon seems to be very lively these two days. A group of monsters are running around and mixing with many Atlantean artificial gods. They even built a large auditorium outside the village—you and They are also neighbors, do you know what's going on?"
While watching my elder sister teach Fina how to make tea, I asked casually.
"Because the newborn is to be celebrated." Fina put her finger on her chin as if remembering, "They say this is very commemorative, but I don't quite understand it. Population growth should be a natural law, so it's a waste to celebrate it. "
As soon as Fina's voice fell, a group of girls in the living room rushed over, Qianqian Bubble's sister Lin Xue and even Ji Shanshan, everyone surrounded me and Fina and looked at this side eagerly. There is a strong gossip look on everyone's face: women are the creatures in the world who are most keen on listening to gossip, and none of them, even the usually stable elder sister can't control her at this time. The only few exceptions present were Sandora, Little Bubbles, and Pandora. Two of them were really not interested, and the other was busy chatting with the ants he caught. I think they should be called big, middle, and small. Calm trio.
Viska's shiny blood-colored cat eyes were particularly conspicuous among the crowd. The little girl pushed forward vigorously while bluffing: "Children, children? Whose? Renault and Zeratul's?"
I almost slipped out of my foot and slipped under the coffee table, screwing Viska's little face angrily: "What kind of mess is this!"
Viska's soft little face turned into a ridiculously shaped dough in my hands, and while pointing at the bubbles with eyes full of eyes, she said vaguely: "She said that Zeratul and Renor are a pair..."
A second later, Bubble and Lilina were thrown into a basket.
Fina was a little flustered by so many people around asking questions, maybe she didn't understand why the girls in this circle were so excited, even though she was a girl herself. Later, she thought about it, and decided to answer my question first, that is, who is the child who has such a big face, that so many people in Avalon are preparing to celebrate? One thing is not easy.
"It's an Atlantean child," Fina replied unhurriedly amid a circle of stares that wanted to eat people. "I don't remember the names of my parents, but they seem to be civilians."
"oh-"
There was a burst of dejected responses from all around, and the beauties were obviously disappointed: after a long time, just an ordinary Atlantean child was born, so the group of monsters gathered together to celebrate purely on whim.
But there will always be a thoughtful person who will notice the places we have neglected. My sister suddenly remembered something when everyone was busy and disappointed, and reminded loudly: "Wait! In this way... that should be Atlantis The first child born since the New Era!"
Everyone froze for a moment, and finally realized that this is really not an ordinary newborn.
And another sentence from Sandora elevates the atmosphere again: "Not only since the new era, it should be the first child born since Atlantis was torn from the earth until now."
I glanced at Sandora, who was walking towards this side with a smile, with a puzzled look. The latter explained with a soft smile, "Maybe you didn't pay attention to those files. : Ever since the Atlantis continent was torn apart and thrown into another world, a law prohibiting births has been implemented, and this is the first time they have welcomed newborns in so many thousands of years."
"Prohibition of... procreation?" Qianqian asked dumbfounded, "Why? Why do they implement such a strange law?"
"It's very simple, because the artificial gods of Atlantis are immortal."
Sandora replied, we quickly thought of many things, so we fell silent in unison.
They are immortal, so they will not have population loss due to lifespan at all, and the transformation of the empire has given them an extremely strong body, so it is difficult for them to have a population decrease due to daily accidents. In this case, These immortal transformed people were sent to the cold space of another world, where they could not find a way to restart the starship, nor could they find other planets to land on, and it was impossible to talk about any resource replenishment. What survived the survivors was only a large number of ancient machines that were in disrepair and constantly malfunctioning. Although those ancient machines produced enough materials for them to maintain the basic operation of the city, they could not provide them with surplus living space and were locked in the living space. Under the condition that resource replenishment may be exhausted at any time, natural reproduction is prohibited.
In fact, the prohibition of natural birth is only a stopgap measure. For the survivors of Atlantis who do not know when they will end their wandering life, the extremely limited living environment of the starship is like Damocles hanging over their heads. Sword, those ancient machines that do not know when they will shut down, as long as one of them is completely shut down and can no longer be started, it means that tens of thousands of people in the entire city will lose their supplies. When that happens, it is the biggest Disaster: Not only newborns will be forbidden to be born, but even the old, weak, sick and disabled who are still alive will be forced to give up. In fact, it is just a guess, and I am sure that such a thing may not have happened.
When the disaster just arrived, the city of Atlantis became the ultimate shelter for all artificial gods, and almost every Atlantis who stayed near the "Holy City" poured into the city with extremely limited space , and then the city was thrown into another world, becoming a starship floating in space with no power. What awaited them was all kinds of shortages that followed.
This is what happens to all civilizations during times of disaster: the last safe haven will always be overcrowded with refugees far exceeding its carrying capacity, and as the disaster continues, a large number of refugees will die in the subsequent lack of living space. Something similar must have happened in Atlantis. After all, although they have been transformed like gods, they are not truly immortal apostles of the spirit after all. Those who can physically travel into space for a certain period of time still need a stable material supply to survive.
Suddenly thinking of these things made us all a little speechless. Although Lin Xue said more than once that our big family is the most heartless gang in history, even Qianqian is not heartless at this time. But these glooms did not last long, because in any case, everything passed, and the Atlanteans survived after all.
"It's really something to celebrate."
The elder sister gently stroked Little Bubbles' head, and said in a low voice, "They didn't invite us, maybe they thought the birth of a commoner among them was not worth alarming the 'great gods', but..."
"Sure enough, it would be more appropriate to go and have a look?"
Qianqian quickly spoke out everyone's thoughts.
This is the first time that the whole family has expressed their agreement to Qianqian's idea in such a synchronous manner. We all feel that we are too sorry for the great reputation of the First Family in the entire multiverse if we don't get involved in this kind of matter!
"Fina, when does the celebration start?"
Seeing that Qianqian was about to go back to the house to freshen up and get ready to go, I hurriedly turned to Fina to understand the situation, because although I was theoretically the "leader of the gods" in the hearts of the Atlanteans, I had no respect for their actions. I don't know much about customs and customs, and I don't know what taboos are in the so-called newborn celebrations. Just now, this side was still teaching Fina to learn the taboos in normal social life. Now it means that Feng Shui has taken turns to us.
What if someone's newborn celebration has to wait until the auspicious day, how embarrassing it would be for Qianqian to rush into someone's delivery room recklessly and ask to take the baby out to see.
"For the celebration, it's this afternoon." Fina thought for a while and nodded affirmatively, "There should be a while, they said that the baptism cannot be performed until seventy-two hours after the birth of the newborn, which is stipulated by the Great God 'The nascent cycle'."
"It seems to be the time it takes for Xiling's master machine to copy the next generation's mother machine." Sandora explained to me in a low voice, and I nodded knowingly: It seems that this is another deified common sense of the empire.
Well, so to speak, it takes three days for a parent machine to copy the next generation of the mother machine, which is much longer than the mass production machine. I remember that the time required to copy a mass production machine is even longer than frying a plate of tomatoes The eggs are still short (don't ask me why I associate the production time of the mass production machine with cooking, isn't this when I was discussing this with Sandora, who was eating), I didn't expect the bubble to use Did it take three days to give birth to Little Bubbles—the child's mother really worked hard for you.
Bubble suddenly glanced at this side with a feeling, and muttered in a low voice: "Why do you feel a little cold all of a sudden?"
I:"… "
Such a murderous sixth sense! Child, mother, you are mighty! RO
