I have always felt that Lin Xue has an attitude towards life that is worth learning, that is, even if she has the power to predict the future, she is not willing to use it on herself lightly. In her words, it is to make life more interesting. After all, according to the prophecy mechanism, her observation of the future will cause the historical process to be predetermined in advance. Although the future is not 100% fixed, it will also make life change from the unknown full of surprises to the boring known. As a grown-up individual, the eldest lady obviously doesn't like this boring way of life.
But now, I feel that it would be great if I had this ability. At least I can know how my daughter was gradually poisoned by those unreasonable relatives.
The restaurant we stayed at was a cheap restaurant run by students. The owner of the restaurant was a business-minded Misaka sister and two goblin partners. It was a relatively famous restaurant on this street. The biggest feature of the store (and also a feature that cannot be copied) is that all the waiters are three mercury lamp dolls with a height of 60 cm. It can be said to be a scenic spot in this student restaurant. If you come here to eat, you can interact with the funny and cute three-headed dolls, but be careful to watch your feet when you walk, because it is easy to kick some rash little ones. guy. The tables here are all specially made, and there is a small folding ladder next to the table. Only the three-headed mercury lamp with a height of more than half a meter can climb up the ladder to clean up the dishes—after all, they can’t reach the table even if they jump up.
Looking at those puppets running around holding trays, Xiaoxue always had a happy face, and from time to time suddenly picked up a little guy who didn't hold anything in his hand and gave a kiss, and after a few minutes, No puppet dared to approach this place anymore, so I was a little curious: "Were these little guys still active at that time?"
"Of course. And the number has reached hundreds of thousands, in the royal district. These little doll heads are very popular partners and staff. They are cute and clever, but the 'princess dolls' at that time have been compared with these alchemists now. It’s not the same. When I was born, these dolls were differentiated into many types, and some types have their own intelligence and biological characteristics. In fact, they are a new type of apostles with special appearance. They are good at combat and logistics. In There is a large group on each spaceship of the Royal Fleet. Some dolls are directly controlled by Sister Deng, and they are equipped with super equipment by those scientists to act as guards. We call them 'Princess Knights'. They are enviable Yes, there are still a small number of prototypes that are now, and the Misaka sisters are behind the command. But at that time, the Misaka sisters were very busy, and the dolls they controlled would not be so fun, and they all had to work. " Speaking of Here, Xiaoxue seems to have remembered something interesting. I couldn't help but grinned: "Of course, the fact that you get stuck in the corners when you are careless has not changed. I heard that this problem has been there since the beginning."
It seems that some things are similar to what I expected.
I know that Xiaoxue was born many, many years later, time goes by, things change, and maybe many things around me will slowly disappear, but I think these mass-produced mercury lamps will always be kept, and there will be a lot of things behind them. Misaka sisters.
This is about the current biochemical transformation actions of the New Empire on the various races under it.
Prior to this, after obtaining the biochemical technology information of Atlantis, Sandora and I had already launched the genetic enhancement project for the servant soldiers, and now this project has gradually developed to face the entire macro world. With the joint efforts of a group of bio-specialized scientific research experts and Lilina, the empire has developed a standard biological transformation process suitable for hundreds of life forms. There is no need to participate, the automation equipment can handle everything. All Shadow City citizens, honorary citizens, contract staff, and vassal races have the right to accept the transformation of the standard process—of course, this is also an obligation they must fulfill. Even the life forms of many vassal races are constantly being adjusted by the empire. This is something no one can refuse, unless you give up any welfare benefits provided by the empire. This adjustment can make members of a race stronger, smarter, better able to adapt to extreme environments, and live longer at the genetic level.
Every world has many imperial biochemical stations that perform this adjustment task. The entrance of the biochemical station will be inscribed with this sentence: Extend your life, temper your body, and then use them to serve the emperor longer.
The original direct purpose of genetic enhancement was to add a more abundant source of excellent servants to the empire, making them stronger and able to accumulate richer war experience. The man-made gods of Atlantis were once the product of this plan when it reached its apex. : The entire race was collectively "jumped" into a superhuman race. And now, the new empire is constantly unlocking the technology tree, and we have begun to try to replicate the miracle that happened to the Atlantis race.
As for the byproduct of this plan, perhaps we will create countless super species with long lifespans that can fly and release ball lightning - of course, it is difficult to say in the short term whether all vassal races will be like the Atlanteans To be immortal, after all, the foundation of many creatures may not support eternal lifespan. Some races have limited soul lifespan and cannot see the possibility of unlocking it. Some races themselves are unwilling to let their age exceed a thousand years old. Not all People like to live forever, and for some mortal races, death is actually a part of a complete life. In response to these situations, our solution is the typical Xiling thought plus Jingdong teachings: if you really feel that you have lived enough and fulfilled all the responsibilities and obligations to this world, then you can submit a death application, which will This application will be verified by the priest of the God of Life Sect. After the verification is correct, the applicant can be sent to the Temple of Life in the local world for free, where he will return to the River of Life. Correspondingly, the death of the applicant will be One or two new birth quotas (extra quotas, because we don’t need to worry about insufficient survival resources, this quota is only used to commemorate the dead) will be generated in the region. The doctrine ratifies the dead as godfather/godmother, thus completing a life cycle from the actual to the symbolic.
"dad?"
"Dad!" A sudden call made me recover from my divergent thinking, and Xiaoxue was stretching out a piece of barbecue in front of me. "Dad, you eat. And Mom. Why don't you eat?"
I thought it was a bit weird, and while chewing the food that Xiaoxue handed over, I said vaguely: "You really know each other, we've only met for a few hours."
"That's what you think. I've been with you for more than ten years..." Xiaoxue said with a bulging mouth, without the restraint of a girl at all. Maybe this appearance really can't be said to be lack of education, it can only be said that she has no need to be reserved in front of her parents-her words woke me up.
Exactly, in my opinion. This strange girl named Chen Xiaoxue only met me a few hours ago. The relationship between myself and the other party, apart from the inexplicable intimacy that comes from blood, is basically equivalent to a stranger I just met, but what about Chen Xiaoxue
Before the projection came over, she had lived with our big family for ten or twenty years!
You can even guess that way. Maybe until not long ago, she was eating with her parents, watching TV, chatting and shopping with her parents in another time and space, and she is still with her parents today. It’s just that the person opposite is so much younger. Now this scene is novel to Lin Xue and me, but it has been repeated countless times to her. This difference in feeling is really amazing now that I think about it. strangeness.
Lin Xue obviously went with me, her face was still a little red, at this time she lightly touched my arm: "Wu Mu, it seems that we can get used to it in the future, I bet this child will not be polite to us at all. Yes, but I... really have no experience as a mother!"
I gave a smirk, and pinched Lin Xue's cheek: "Our child, our child..."
The corner of the eldest lady's mouth trembled, and she poked my waist with chopsticks: "You have the right to choose to be silent, anyway, I will find a way to make you shut up!" Then she looked diagonally upward with her eyes at a forty-five degree angle, and said with a sigh He muttered: "This is good. I have gone further than Sandora and Qianqian unprecedentedly. Originally, I wanted to find a balance in my heart, but this time the balance was too much."
After eating, Xiaoxue's energy didn't decrease at all, but she became more interested because she was full and full. She took Lin Xue and me to walk around the whole Xueyuan Road. This was the beginning of an embarrassing journey at the other end, because The girl saw a lot of familiar faces along the way. The girl has a sweet mouth and greets everyone she sees. Even if the other person's face is full of shock, she can't stop her from approaching everyone affectionately: "San uncle sells bracelets? Business is good? Bracelets Are you still fading?"
"The fourth aunt will grill skewers for both of us, me? Oh, you don't know each other yet, but you just need to know my dad, right?"
"Ah! Auntie, auntie, good afternoon, auntie!"
"Uncle! Uncle! The bracelet is so beautiful! Is this plastic or glass?"
"Is that Uncle Cu Chulainn? Still carrying his lightning rod?"
"Hey, Uncle Ball! You have writing on your body again, who wrote it for you: Please keep rolling at a constant speed to avoid crushing. It must be the group of junior students, oh no, you haven't gone to the college to teach yet—I ? I'm Chen Xiaoxue! You'll know each other from now on!"
The strange girl named Chen Xiaoxue is full of energy. She greets every upright walking object she encounters on the road, even including creatures that roll and walk (this is another cold). She jumped out of her mouth, crackling and knocking everyone fainted. If she greeted people like this under normal circumstances, she would definitely be regarded as crazy, but the people on the opposite side first saw her. What I saw was Lin Xue and me, so I was full of astonishment, and after this strange girl walked over, I turned to sneaking up and asked: "Where did you pick up this living treasure?"
I can't bear to tell these people that after a few years, a living treasure that is exactly the same will have to torment the residents of this entire city from the age of one.
After Chen Xiaoxue finally started holding the panic-stricken Altoria and screaming "Little Auntie, Little Auntie", Lin Xue and I finally couldn't bear it anymore, and we stepped forward and dragged back the girl whose tutor had collapsed : "Where do you get all these messy titles! Is Arturia related to you as aunt and nephew?!"
Xiaoxue looked up at the sky and thought for a while, then shook her head: "I don't know. There are a lot of people around me since I was a child. You say they are all elders, but I am still early in learning to speak. People like to say hello. So I said I can only bark indiscriminately, I have been called like this since I was a child. Except for men and women, it is good. Other titles are random, anyway, the people who are called will understand the spirit... "
I:"… "
At this time, someone finally came to his senses, it was Medusa who was caught by Xiaoxue just now and called Fourth Aunt: "Boss... what's going on?"
"Let me introduce you." I saw that there were quite a few people around. So he pointed at Xiaoxue, his face full of helplessness. "This is my daughter, uh, Lin Xue and I..."
The eldest lady turned her head to look at the sky with trembling corners of her mouth. She doesn't want to admit it. But it is even more undeniable, so there was an uproar in the surrounding circle of Ying Ling, Cu Chulainn spoke quickly, and pointed at the strange girl Chen Xiaoxue who looked at least 17 or 18 years old: "Boss! This is too big! Could it be Ding Dong?" Ripe it!"
Medusa's face changed drastically, while Artoria raised her sword and shouted: "Find cover! Take cover!"
A circle of people flashed clean in an instant, and I opened my energy shield and closed my eyes with a blank expression. Think one, two, three silently in your heart, and wait until you open your eyes. Cu Chulainn had disappeared.
Medea, who was running slower, walked back with her explosive head on her head: "As a guard, he should at least learn to add an honorific after the name of the goddess. So boss, this... the new princess... Uh, what the hell is going on?" What's the matter?"
The Heroic Spirits have lived in Avalon for quite a long time. Although they belong to Ding Dong’s soldiers in terms of organization, because of Ding Dong’s unreliable behavior, most of them still come into contact with me, so now I am quite familiar with these Heroic Spirits , as long as it is not on a formal occasion, they are easy to let go of each other. I am afraid that this will be the same in the future. Otherwise, Chen Xiaoxue would not be able to grab Artoria and call her aunt. Now seeing me suddenly appear with a brand new princess , and it is said that she is Lin Xue's biological daughter, so even the heroic spirits who don't like gossip come over, even including Artoria. I looked around, shrugged at the end, and told everyone about Xiaoxue's origin.
Of course, in the end, they didn't understand anything except "Xiaoxue is the princess from the future". The way this strange little girl came to this timeline is really too convoluted. Toss people's reasoning ability.
A group of heroic spirits were very interested in having another princess, and they all suggested that a welcome ceremony should be held, and at least one dinner should be held. From the era when princess knights swept half the sky, people in this era are extremely sensitive to the following words except for a few non-mainstream spirits: princess, king, knight, conquest, and honor. I believe that for them, the royal family members Anything more is worth promoting, including an extra princess and the king's cat cub, and Lin Xue and I, the pure couple, have been a model of love in the empire for a long time. Suddenly there is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old flesh and blood in this influential figure, how do you let these guys who are idle all day and accumulate adrenaline to soothe their turbulent cerebrospinal fluid...
However, Xiaoxue didn't seem to be very interested in the welcome ceremony, because in her opinion, it was nothing to celebrate. In her own timeline, she met these heroic spirits almost every day, and it was only a few days since the last time they separated. In less than a month, such a short time of separation should hold a banquet, which is too difficult to understand. This is another gap caused by different time axis perspectives, and visually, I will have to deal with this gap for a long time in the future.
Of course, in the end I agreed to the wishes of the heroic spirits to hold the welcome ceremony, because I know this group of unreliable guys who are drunk and half of the country, I am sure that more than half of the reasons for their welcome ceremony are actually for their own excitement, After hanging out with the elves from Gensokyo for a long time, this tendency has become more and more serious. Whether Xiaoxue is cold about the welcome meeting doesn't seem to affect their activities at all.
Before you know it, it's already mid-afternoon. Although Xiaoxue is still very energetic, her parents really don't have so much energy to hang around outside. You must know that we were very nervous in the first half of the day and ordered a simultaneous raid The great melee in the world of the three fallen apostles, I really want to know what material this strange girl of mine is made of. It stands to reason that she should be more tired than us: this girl has not only fought against the fallen apostles, she But led the fleet to raid all the way from the enemy's hinterland! By the way, is it possible that the group of "ultimate descendants" born after the Void Cataclysm are all special alloys
After I got home, I found that Qianqian had indeed returned. I heard that everyone in the family, including Sandora, was there, and there was a large circle of little girls around Qianqian, including those Rozen Maidens. Qianqian was cheering them up Talking about something, when she saw the three of us appearing in the living room, she immediately pointed at Xiaoxue and yelled loudly: "That's it, that's it! It's projected from the future! Your sister!"
As soon as the words fell, Little Bubble appeared in front of Xiaoxue without anyone noticing, looked at the latter with a special expression, stretched his arms and said loudly: "Goo!"
"Sister Pao'er! Wow, Sister Pao'er who can't talk yet!" Xiaoxue immediately picked up Little Pao'er with bright eyes, and rubbed it against her chest, making her want to feel what it's like to be an older sister Little Bubble yelled, Little Bubble looked naive but she was not stupid, she knew what a sister was and what a younger sister was, and because of her talent as a host of Xiling, she might not understand Xiaoxue's origin better than others She is much shallower, so she feels that she should greet her future sister as a big sister. The only regret is that she absolutely ignores her current height...
(Let me recommend a book, "Moon Driver", a new science fiction book, which tells what happened after humans discovered that the moon is actually a giant planetary mothership. The reason for the recommendation is that in this age of wild grass, it unexpectedly It has a good relaxed writing style and thinking, the protagonist’s mentality is normal, and the character’s performance is very clear, and what is commendable is that the content of the book is worthy of the label of "science fiction", which has a somewhat classic sci-fi flavor. Of course, there are also flaws. If you look at it from the perspective of orthodox science fiction, this book still has technical loopholes and errors in details, which may be related to the fact that the author is a liberal arts student—but in the current environment, it is actually difficult to find a science fiction book that is more like science fiction. up.)
