Wandao long distance

Chapter 704 Rapid Civilization
Li Qi looked at the battle report from the front line, where he is now, is far away from the front line, and his contribution is enough for him to rest for a while, so there is no rush.

With the addition of Xiantian, Demon Dao, True Dragon and Wu Ji, the current form of Human Dao is not very good.

But...humanity has brought out a lot of weird things, such as...a lot of geniuses.

It’s really a huge amount, I don’t know where it came from…

But it seems to be related to Zajia.

In addition, the Demonic Way seems to be investing more and more, and the Human Way seems to have to find a way, otherwise it will lose quickly.

Putting away the battle report, Li Qi looked down.

Skyscrapers, various flying locomotives below, a large number of automated facilities, servitors, and local aborigines covered in prosthetics.

The neon lights flashed, looking particularly dazzling against the dark night.

But it can’t be said that this is actually not cyberpunk, it’s just that the art style is more similar.

In the world of the Forward Alliance, they do not have giant companies, nor do they have humane laws. In fact, although their political system cannot be absolutely fair, it still has a very good promotion mechanism.

Of course, this is also necessary.

The personnel in this world change so fast that a group of people can be completely replaced within a few hundred years. Moreover, whether it is strength or anything else, it all depends on the development of the entire civilization and technology. Therefore, a smooth and fair promotion path is a must. Otherwise, we would not be able to achieve this level.

They are not powerful because of the strength of a certain strong person, but because of the strength of the civilization as a whole. It is this system that allows them to enjoy the technological improvements brought by the Fantasy Realm to the greatest extent.

"Why are you sitting here in the middle of the night?" In the room, Shen Shuibi rubbed her eyes and walked out.

Unlike Li Qi's light nightgown, she was still wearing a thick Taoist robe. Except for her hands and face, basically nothing else could be seen. Even her neck had to wait until she turned her head to see a trace of whiteness through the collar. .

This is her customary attire. She doesn't like the popular cyber-style clothes in this world, so she still wears her ordinary robes, which have faded.

It's really ordinary, the kind that ordinary people wear, with a simple Taoist bun, but without a hair crown.

"We have been in this world for seven years." Li Qi said while sitting on a chair.

Shen Shuibi walked up to his back, supported the back of the chair with her hands, placed her chest on the back of Li Qi's head, and said lightly: "What's wrong?"

"Look at the world. It has changed rapidly in seven years. The buildings in front of us have been demolished, rebuilt and demolished twice." Li Qi pointed to the high-rise buildings outside.

"So?" Shen Shuibi was a little confused.

"We seem a little out of place in this world. This world is changing too fast, and we are like two old antiques and two old wooden piles, unable to keep up with this fast world." Li Qi said.

"Immortals are like this to begin with. Is there any problem?" Shen Shuibi tilted her head and asked.

"You think, I have experienced too many things before, it was too long, and it was thousands of years at every turn, but now we seem to have encountered a world that is changing with each passing day, a civilization that is full of vitality, and we happen to be in it." Li Qi looked at the outside world: "These seven years are really mediocre, I want to spend a few years to join this world, to experience this spirit and courage of ever-improving, this may... make old tree stumps like us Can you rejuvenate your mentality?"

Shen Shuibi didn't know what it meant, but she said: "I don't care. If you want to play, then go and have fun."

"It's not a play, but a serious practice. I think we are too insensitive to the passage of time now, just like the past seven years. Can you recall what we did in the past seven years?" Li Qi asked.

Shen Shuibi's face turned red and she didn't reply.

It’s really hard to reply, the rabbit is still very shy.

Li Qi ignored this and said directly: "But in the past, seven years was enough for us to do a lot of things. I didn't stay in Chang'an for seven years in total. This has nothing to do with cultivation, but I think, Our concept of time should not become more and more deviated from the normal flow of time, what do you think? Otherwise, even though an old tree stump is still light, it might turn into stone."

'Normal time flow rate' is a very abstract concept, but it is very concrete when implemented.

Why do immortals live forever?
The purpose is to have more time to go to Zhudao, to have more time to do my own things, to not be bothered by time, and to have a lot of time to do what Zhudao needs.

All this points to the same purpose, which is 'immortality is to gain more time'.

Then, if you become a wooden pile or a stone, does your time really increase?

Suppose there is a species that can live for 1 years, but its perceived time flow rate is only 100 years. In the eyes of others, its movements are extremely slow, a hundred times slower than ordinary people.

Then, compared with the speed world mentioned earlier, that is, the seventh-level race that can only live for eight days, who has more time?

Obviously, the speed world will have much more time than this stone man, even if he actually only lived for a few seconds.

Li Qi now feels that he has a tendency to live like a wooden pile.

Many years have passed easily, but has he really done anything during these many years?

The immortality of the immortal should be used to accomplish the great deeds that only a hundred generations can accomplish on their own.

Instead of letting time turn yourself into stone, let yourself become an 'immortal' who is slow, stupid, waiting for time to pass, self-righteous but actually doing nothing at all.

Now there was a good opportunity in front of him. Faced with this ever-changing world and this progressive alliance, Li Qi felt that maybe his gradually slowing concept of time could be reconnected with mortals.

"Well... what you say makes sense, but what are you going to do?" Shen Shuibi asked.

"First participate in the operation of this society, live like ordinary people here, integrate into their fast life, and first get rid of this habit of sitting still and meditating for four or five days." Li Qi said with a smile, then stood up and waved.

The clothes on his body also changed accordingly, turning into a set of the most common clothes in the Forward Alliance. It is a set of quite avant-garde clothes, suitable for sports, somewhat close-fitting, with the upper and lower body separated, and has various plug-in openings on it, which can be directly Connected to various mechanical devices, of course there is nothing yet.

"Are you ready to go out now?" Shen Shuibi asked.

"That's about right. Let's go check out the situation first. Just do it as you say. There's no need to delay." Li Qi said goodbye to Rabbit and walked downstairs alone.

The rabbit just looked at him, blankly.

It wasn't until Li Qi opened the door and then closed it that she shook her head.

Hmm... Li Qi's whimsical ideas are quite interesting.

As for this, in addition to restoring his normal concept of time, he also planned to use this time to stabilize his cultivation.

But Rabbit shouldn't have any feelings about this. After all, she is a born immortal, and time has always been like that for her. She doesn't have a sense of separation from her current situation like Li Qi does.

Li Qi's time used to pass very slowly, and now time passes very fast, but Rabbit has no feeling about it, she thinks it's the same.

On the other side, after Li Qi went downstairs, he looked at the flashing neon lights outside, some people walking on the street, and the flying locomotive roaring by.People come and go, roads intersect, and crowds of people come in waves. Large tram public transportation is like an ocean current in the urban ocean, passing through this bustling city.

Li Qi saw that some girls were smiling, holding a drink sold on the street in one hand, wearing glasses with a very sci-fi feel, or simply artificial eyeballs, looking around.

There are also some adults on the street scratching their heads and worrying about work. Even in this world, hard work is still indispensable.

The giggling young people are having a great time playing on the street. They are hitting the air. It should be in their field of vision that a complete virtual game is being projected into reality in front of them.

There were many pedestrians on the street, but everything was not completely connected to virtual reality. In fact, Li Qi was not connected to those virtual reality scenes, but he could still see many decorations from reality.

They are immersed in the virtual, but they have not forgotten the reality. The virtual is just an embellishment of reality.

Looking at the restaurant, the aroma is lingering, and the food cooked is real food, not nutritious pastes and seasonings. This also supports the above idea. The Forward Alliance is not immersed in the virtual world, although they Virtual reality is very advanced, but it is still only a part of the real world.

Li Qi just stood on the street and watched until dawn, and he suddenly didn't realize it.

In the sky, there is a grating composed of neon lights, and further up, there is the world's sky and the world's barrier. There are stars on it, which are the lights lit by the star officials.

Looking down, it is a vast world of mortals.

The prosperity of the world and the rolling life can be seen at a glance.

Ok……

quite pretty.

However, at this moment, Li Qi suddenly felt someone patting him.

He turned around and saw a man who looked like a police officer. He looked very young. He must have just joined the work. In terms of cultivation, he was...not good enough. Of course, if you include his equipment, he should be able to fight. A relatively weak seventh-grade one, right?

This is the benefit of this world, mass-produced seventh-grade products, but... Correspondingly, their upper limit is relatively low, but in the final analysis, it is difficult for their talents to reach seventh-grade, and they can reach the sky in one step, even if they only live a few years. It has been a hundred years since we got the glory of civilization.

In a place like Tianxia, ​​they might not even be able to touch the edge of the eighth rank.

Li Qi looked at the other party, thinking about the other party's situation.

But to the other party... Li Qi was just dumbfounded.

Therefore, the young patrol officer said in their own civilized language: "Friend, according to the surveillance, you have been standing here for four time rings. What's going on?"

Time rings, this civilization’s way of keeping time, divide a day into twenty time rings, corresponding to the positions of the sun and moon.

Li Qi came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly: "Ah? Has it been so long? Sorry, I'm a little dazed."

Getting sick again, this is what he wants to change, this kind of alienation in time is not good.

"In a daze? Also, why do you only have one set of clothes and equipment on you? You came out without any equipment, so what are you doing here?" the patrol officer asked again.

I didn’t bring any equipment, I couldn’t even ride on the bus, and I couldn’t buy anything. What were I doing here in a daze?
Anyway, no matter how you look at it, Li Qi looks suspicious.

"I suspect that prohibited psychotropic substances may have been used. Please come with me and we will check your body fluids," the patrol officer said.

Li Qi was stunned.

Uh, with my own attire and a few hours of being in a daze, I can be regarded as a drug addict!

But to be honest, if I think about it carefully, it seems quite similar.

That's not difficult for others. Li Qi nodded: "Okay, let's go."

With that said, Li Qi simply stretched out his hand and motioned for the other party to cuff him up.

He knew that he had almost understood the basic common sense of this world in the past few years. This civilization called the Forward Alliance would actually use this method to arrest unsettled elements.

This time, the patrol officer was in trouble.

"Uh... okay, come with me first, have you eaten yet?" The other party did not choose to handcuff Li Qi, but asked Li Qi to follow him, and asked at the same time.

"Not yet." Li Qi responded.

The other party's expression clearly showed a trace of pity when he saw Li Qi, and he had no intention of cuffing Li Qi at all. He just said, "Okay, let's go first and have something to eat first."

He took Li Qi to a fast food restaurant on the roadside. The food culture here advocates careful cooking, so the meals are basically unrecognizable. A large number of local spices are added and reshaped into brand new ones. appearance.

For example, make the vegetables look like steaks, and make the meat look like fruits.

how to say……

Molecular gastronomy?

That's pretty much what it means, but no matter what, it actually tastes quite delicious, but the raw materials can't be seen.

Some food was served, and after Li Qi thanked him, he started eating.

He ate his meal slowly, and the patrol officer just looked at Li Qi, analyzing the identity of this mysterious visitor.

I was in such a daze before, maybe I suffered some kind of shock.

He didn't have any external devices on his body. He was probably not used to being stripped naked.

The way he eats is quite elegant, and every move seems to have a special rhythm. It can be seen that the other person must have a background, not that simple, and is not a passerby on the street.

Just staring at Li Qi while eating, after a while, the patrol officer asked: "Brother, how did you end up in this situation? I see you looking dazed, but with your hands as steady as they are now, you shouldn't have any problems." What kind of psychotropic drugs were used, and why is there nothing all over the body?"

"Oh, well, actually, I didn't install those devices. The main reason I came here this time was to try to integrate into society. I have always lived alone before, and now I want to try living alone. But when I came down, I saw I'm just a little obsessed with the scenery outside." Li Qi said with a smile.

The young patrol officer looked at Li Qi again.

It can't be mental illness, can it?
It's the end of the month, ask for a monthly ticket.
