Hidden Yao Era

?"

"Well, unless civilians have made outstanding achievements in their jobs and accumulated enough points, they can buy custom clothing and jewelry here. Casto said.

"So you can't buy it with money?".

"No, it takes a lot of money if you don't use points. This is generally paid by the aristocracy. However, the aristocracy does not need to use so much money, and the nobility can buy custom clothing and jewelry here at a relatively low discount. "

"Well, that means you're also privileged here? "

"No, but it's true that there won't be some high-end services for retrofitters. But it's also true that people often bring transformers and clones with them. "

At this time, Sonia saw a man in a black shirt walking towards him with a tall woman. It was hot, and the woman was wearing only a sheer wrap and shorts. Sonia said to Casto: "That girl over there is so beautiful, but she wears very little, although the weather is hot, she dresses as if she wants to deliberately expose herself to arouse the sensuality of others." "

"That woman is supposed to be a reformer. The person with her could be a broker. If you are an aristocrat, you should not let your sexual partner dress so revealingly in public. "

"Hmph, sexual partners, which means their job is to provide some kind of service?".

"Well, sort of, and provide some emotional comfort or something. "

"But they will not be comforted by these nobles. "

"Well, the aristocracy will only provide them with a luxurious life, and there will be little other emotional comfort. This emotional output is one-way. The spirit of these girls has been transformed into a one-way model, and they are not even accustomed to receiving the love and affection of others. When the aristocracy expresses attachment, they even repuls. All of their behavior is just almost programmed pandering. The people who train them call it professionalism. "

"So, if you linger with such a person for a long time, you will get tired of it, right?"

"Yes, some of us in my family are like that. But there are also many people who find it easy and don't need to be emotionally connected with women. Perhaps for modern people, love is too heavy. "

"I don't have enough mental strength, I don't even have the courage and strength to love. Are there also male clones and transhumans?".

"There are also those who have been transformed to be more exaggerated, and some are even ....... Castor then whispered in Sonya's ear.

"Poof~!Are your noble women so dissatisfied?" Sonia couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

"Alas, many young boys and girls are addicted to the sexual resources at their fingertips. Now that the marriage rate is getting lower and lower, the economic attributes of marriage are rising, and the emotional and sexual values seem to be declining. In the long run, the family will face another disintegration. "

Sonia nodded, she remembered the record in the brief history of mankind she had seen before, so she said, "That's right, more than two thousand years ago, the human family had its first disintegration. The emergence of artificial wombs has completely liberated women from childbirth. At the same time, it also broke the bond between many couples to take care of each other and raise their children. Women are no longer attached to men, and sex becomes open and wild. But this has also brought a lot of social problems, such as the moral decline caused by sexual indulgence, and the psychological problems caused by the dislocation of the family in newborns, which have caused countless adults to have antisocial personality disorder. Eventually, everything converged into the civil strife on Earth on the eve of the opening of the universe. After the end of the civil strife, humanity learned from the pain and once again united humanity through blood kinship. This is also why so many aristocratic families suddenly appeared during the Universe Pioneer Period, because the family bond exerted a huge cohesion during the Pioneer Period. "

"That's right, but the basis of such a family is no longer emotion and sexuality, but profit. Although humans were not aware of this at first, later, the interests of the family became more and more prominent, and now it seems that only interests remain. "

"If emotions give complete way to interests, the family will inevitably disintegrate. Because of the interest orientation, if the family members cannot bring benefits, there is no need to cohesively together. Each individual will inevitably gravitate towards those who can bring benefits to him/herself, rather than necessarily choosing a community of interests based on the principle of family. "

"You're right, that's what you say. The aristocracy will soon dissolve?".

"I don't know, I haven't had a good feel for your aristocratic world!" Sonia pointed to the shoe store in front of her and said, "I want to go and see the shoes, the shoes there should be the highest grade here, right?" I see that the decoration there is good, the storefront decoration is simple and neat, and there is some sense of design. "

"Okay, it's hot, do you feel a little covered in these sneakers?" Casto noticed that Sonia had been wearing the pair of white sneakers he had bought for her since she was discharged from the hospital.

"Well, I don't think so, I've been wearing these shoes in Pluto. However, I rarely go out in casual clothes in this kind of weather, it seems to be a little hot. Do you have any other shoes to wear?".

"Well, the clothes you're wearing are a bit thick, and I can take you to buy a few lighter ones. "

"Hahaha, it's the first time I've been shopping in such a warm place. I thought I was thin enough, okay, I'll see what your clothes and shoes look like. "

With that, Casto took Sonia to the shoe store. Upon entering, the waitress seemed to know Castor and said, "Ah, are you Brigadier General Cavendish Shoff, the hero who saved Titan?"

"Oh, you know I've been promoted to brigadier general, it's very well informed!" Casto was a little surprised, after all, he had only been promoted to brigadier general for less than a month.

"Of course, I have been following your news, you are the idol of all our Martians. The waitress looked at Casto with adoring eyes. But Casto didn't believe her at all, and he suddenly realized that what his cousin, who had been a fan of luxury collecting, had told him was true, and that the owners and marketing departments of these luxury stores would investigate every potential user and grasp all the data and preferences of the aristocracy. Casto couldn't believe that the information could be easily controlled by these merchants, but now he felt as if he was covered in a large net.

"Is this your lover?" asked the waiter.

"Well, yes. "

"Do you want to customize a new pair of shoes yourself or buy a new pair of shoes for your loved one? We have a lot of the latest production shoes here that are perfect for your loved one. "

"No, I need a custom model on the spot, anyway, it's easy for your machine here to make a pair, and it will come out in a few minutes, isn't it?".

"However, our customization service is limited to the aristocracy. Your lover doesn't seem to be from an aristocratic family, is he?"

"How do you know!?" Castor seemed to be suddenly enraged, and Sonia hurriedly grabbed him.

"Oh, sorry, I'm just guessing. After all, the customized service here requires real-name authentication, and I'm afraid that in case it ......."

Casto sat down, his emotions seemed to calm down, and he asked unhurriedly, "You guessed right, I just wonder why you guessed that?".

"Because there are no rumors of new marriages between the Cavendish family and other noble families. And you are the youngest and most talented young officer of the Cavendish family, and many people will care about your marriage. We are always watching which girl will be your bride. "

"Oops, I feel like I don't have any privacy right now. Casto turned back to Sonia with a wry smile.

"We're sorry we can't provide such a customized service to civilians. "

"There is no room for negotiation?".

"It's the rule on our side. I can only follow it, otherwise, I won't be able to keep my job, please forgive me. "

"In that case, we'll have to go somewhere else. "

"Mr. Cavendis!" was about to take Sonia out when the waiter stopped him.
