Volume 11: The Cursed Hammer Witch Chapter 1 No Accident
The moon does not have soil in the ordinary sense of the word. Although various conversion technologies are very popular nowadays, it is undoubtedly a time-consuming and laborious task to turn an entire area into a terrestrial structure .
Compared with the entire perfect ecosystem of the Earth, it is obvious that maintaining life on the Moon requires a lot of costs. For example, drones for regular inspections, bionic robots for monitoring ecological disasters, fluid computers that simulate the atmosphere, artificial suns that simulate light, and so on. The Earth is undoubtedly a place made of miracles, and there is no way to rebuild a real artificial ecosystem that can self-circulate internally. Therefore, it is not surprising to invest a lot in this kind of greenery in space.
At least Li Lin now found that he had misjudged the distance between the natural facility and himself. It seemed that there was a park downstairs, but in fact, due to the semi-fluid structure of the entire lunar city, Li Lin needed to go through a series of complex shuttles and means, and pass some inspections before he could directly reach the ecological forest and enjoy the scenery that was now everywhere on Earth.
"It looks like you've worked really hard..."
Looking at the drones that were flying around him but still not spreading too far and were constantly spraying mist, Li Lin was sincerely in awe of this responsible attitude.
After all, only machines can do this kind of maintenance work that is repeated over and over again for dozens or hundreds of years. The drone models here range from the early A series to the current Azure, and they are all maintaining their own work in different areas. In this way, compared to the drones that are applying and correcting the airflow in the atmosphere, the humans who are joking and having fun on the green lawn are actually outliers.
Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of hidden or unhidden drones, the humans spread out their picnic baskets and tablecloths on the lawn, chatting and laughing. Some drones kept appearing and disappearing from their optical invisibility, laying out a series of picnic products on the lawn and guiding others to the special picnic area. The cyborgs didn't reveal anything special, perhaps because their cyborgization was not very advanced. Li Lin watched them exaggerate their surprise and screams as they grilled over the bonfire, and then laughed with the people around them.
A natural person like me doesn't need to be surprised and scream, right? Your cybernetic bodies can withstand such temperatures, right?
Or do cyborgs pay more attention to atmosphere than natural people? That's true. After all, there is no danger. Compared with the real situation, the atmosphere is definitely more important. Just like the haunted houses and adventures in the past, we know they are fake but we still cater to the atmosphere.
Humph, superficial humans, this simple social relationship is really lame.
Thinking back to the female anchor who never met in person and was no different from an ordinary netizen, Li Lin snorted from the bottom of his heart and felt that his toughness as a human being had increased a bit.
But it may be that Li Lin's plain white clothes walking in the forest were too conspicuous. Those who were barbecuing and singing soon saw Li Lin walking at the edge of the forest. After discussing for a while, a man who looked very enthusiastic came out. It was obvious that he had downloaded the emoticon package from the psychology app, and waved to Li Lin with a warm and sincere face.
"Hey, friend over there, you look unfamiliar. Are you new here? Are you an actor? Or a big star? You don't look like an ordinary person."
"…I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary newcomer. I don't have any extra settings. I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"Really? Then would you like to join our barbecue party?"
The enthusiastic man smiled as brightly as the sun at the equator. If you had to put it bluntly, it was like a pyramid scheme leader promoting how big his organization was. And the people who were sorting out tools and food over there also smiled friendly when they saw Li Lin.
"I'm not bragging, I've always won first place in the barbecue competition on the moon. I still have some confidence . Of course, it may not be as good as those truly valuable and memorable top-notch products, but in comparison, I think our banquet is still worth attending. And we all happen to be from the same community, so it's okay for us to get to know each other."
“…”
That’s great. You can tell at a glance that these people have a deep bond with each other.
Just by looking at the people behind the man laughing at each other, Li Lin knew very well that these people should be a group of good people.
At least if it was just a superficial effort, there would definitely not be people cursing at each other while working closely together. Although most of the transportation work was done by drones, these people still worked hard to have a barbecue outdoors, and it seemed that this was not their first time.
It was probably the first time they saw strangers. Perhaps this place was a very secret place. When they were setting up, they turned their heads to look at Li Lin, and then smiled at him in a friendly way. Some women even waved with a smile. However, Li Lin, who had always been alone, felt like he was being burned by such brilliant smiles. So facing the Gate of Reality, he just shook his head in silence.
"Sorry, I don't like crowded places..."
"That--"
"I have something else to do, so I'll go back first. I appreciate your kindness, but I'm sorry."
"Oh, I see. Oh..."
Watching Li Lin disappear into the forest like a ghost, the tall man stretched out his hand with a sense of loss. The people behind him booed in unison. It was unknown what these people were discussing. In the eyes of the hiding Li Lin, these people did not express any dissatisfaction, but instead laughed at each other, as if it was just an accident.
There was nothing to worry about, it was just an accident. After seeing this scene, Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the shadow of the woods, and tiptoed back to his nest to continue his game journey.
However, halfway through the walk, Li Lin's portable terminal vibrated. At the moment of confirmation, a young but cute face was projected onto Li Lin's retina.
"'Ah~ Brother Li Lin~ We meet again~ It's been three years, right?'"
The top student girl named Zhang Lingmeng looked at the ghostly Li Lin, smiled and pulled out a candy ball from her lips and pointed it at Li Lin.
"'So I came to you as agreed.'"
