Chapter 389
At ten o'clock in the morning, it was raining lightly in the urban area, and the sky was still as dark as ink.
Lu Li was wearing a transparent raincoat, carrying a metal storage box in his hand, walking on the crowded street.
Frankly speaking, he felt that the stacked neon signboards were particularly dazzling and not aesthetically pleasing, especially compared to the billboards on the wall of the building two hundred meters ahead, they looked inferior.
"Hello handsome."
"Today is very tiring."
A beautiful girl was projected on the giant screen, with profound facial features and exquisite makeup. She was smiling and looking at Lu Li, stretched out a finger, and said softly:
"Alone?"
"I can accompany you."
It was just an advertisement, no matter how much Lu Li had never seen the world, he would not answer it.
After the freshness faded, he raised his feet and prepared to leave the entertainment area where he was currently, but the girl's soft and charming voice sounded again:
"You seem like a nice man."
good man?
Lu Li was amused, he stopped in his tracks, and continued to watch this advertisement from the future.
I have to say that the girl on the screen looks very attractive, squatting halfway, pointing a finger at passers-by, and opening her lips slightly.
Which female star is this?
What product are you endorsing?
Just as Lu Li was guessing, the beautiful girl disappeared, and a piece of text shone with pink light:
【Joy Company, Feast Your Eyes】
【Want to customize your own holographic girlfriend? With only 900 credits, this icy city will have one more person who loves you]
Hiss... The human beings in the future really know how to play, using neon Al girls to tease men.
Beside Lu Li, a man with an African face was breathing heavily.
"God, I want her."
Beside him, an Asian man with slender eyes spoke to dissuade him: "Dan, calm down, you just bought an apartment in the 16th district with a loan, and you still have to pay back the principal and interest every month."
"No, I can sell one eye and replace it with the most advanced prosthetic body."
The black brother seems to have been single for a long time, desperately longing for love, I saw him clutching his friend's arm tightly, and said excitedly: "And the rest of the money is used to buy her, don't you think it's a big deal to suddenly have someone who cares about you?" Is it a beautiful thing?"
The conversation between the two was very interesting, and a police officer was immediately attracted. He was wearing a black raincoat and had an area of metal circuits exposed on his face, indicating his identity: a synthetic human.
"Sir, please come with me because of your dangerous remarks."
The moment he saw the certificate, the black man's face froze. He suddenly remembered that since last month, the "Human Protection Act" has come into effect, and one of them prohibits the sale of organs.
Before that, free people could sell their organs at will. Limbs are the cheapest, followed by eyeballs and internal organs, while the spine, cerebellum, and pons are the most expensive.
The reason why it became like this is related to a regulation issued by the Star Alliance:
If all planets in the alliance want to improve their level, they must ensure that the number of humans in their jurisdiction remains within a certain range.
Take the "Nemesis No. 216" where Liuguang City is located. It currently belongs to the third class. The government must ensure that the number of humans in the area accounts for more than 16% of the total population, otherwise it will be downgraded by the alliance and part of the technology and funds will be withdrawn. support.
Also, the concept of humans is interesting.
First of all, the law clearly stipulates that synthetics, replicants, and robots are not human beings.
Secondly, residents like Lu Li who have never had their prosthetics belong to purebred humans, while those who have had prosthetics are subdivided into multiple levels according to the unified rules formulated by the alliance.
Like the residents who sold their cerebellums and replaced them with prosthetic limbs, ten of them add up to one purebred human.
Therefore, since the "Human Protection Act" took effect, Lu Li instantly became a "noble".
In my memory, the government first subsidized a high-end apartment, and then arranged for him to attend the best high school in the city. Although he has not yet graduated, the government has already booked him the best college on the planet.
Lu Li's appearance in the entertainment area is also related to this——
In the past, children were too poor and had no chance to touch entertainment facilities. Now that they have become upper-class people, they naturally have to go to the game hall to experience it.
By the way, today is not a rest day, Lu Li's behavior is considered skipping class.
"A real man should conquer the stars and the ocean, what's the point of sitting in school?"
The original owner didn't like to stay in school, and hated dealing with advanced mathematics and advanced physics, let alone Lu Li, who had just arrived but had already established lofty ideals.
high school student?
How can a social person be at ease.
For Lu Li, the most important thing right now is to build a spaceship, assemble a team, and start exploring the universe.
In addition, it is also very important to study history seriously. You must know that the school does not assign tasks to them, so they can only find things to do by themselves.
You can't stay at home every day and stage a daily show, right?
Next... Lu Li looked at the time, it was almost noon, he decided to go home first to check if any equipment was missing.
Then, plan how to realize the dream of exploring the starry sky. After all, no matter how rich a high school student is, he can't afford a spaceship. Even if it is the most basic money, he has to find a way to make money.
"Woo woo woo..."
Suddenly, the siren sounded.
A steam locomotive is running along the track at high speed. God knows why this kind of transportation powered by boiling water is so fast.
Unfortunately, the inherited memory told Lu Li that he couldn't take this kind of bus, and the machine ticket inspectors would check the packages one by one.
Therefore, he had no choice but to walk home.
One twenty in the afternoon.
Kabukicho.
"O white plover that lives in the deserted rock!"
On the billboard on the wall, a wide-faced lady in a kimono is singing, but the subtitle next to it is: 强力わかもと.
A gastrointestinal medicine called "Strength Wakamoto" can treat hyperacidity, constipation, loss of appetite, and strengthen the body.
On the street, drunken men supported each other, came out of the bar, walked a few steps along the street, and were taken away by a group of sexy girls.
"Nichiryu", "Quality Guaranteed Shop", "Eikodo", "テル", "うどんそばNakano"
Here, the neon signs are getting denser, and there are many more old-fashioned lanterns.
In addition, when passing by the dark alley, Lu Li also saw many familiar and friendly words written on the wall with paint: Feng Hu Yun Long, Brother Long Hu, The Haze Will Not Dissipate, Nine Suns Divine Art, Don't Do, Hall of Fame, Safe Entry and Exit, Compatriots...
With the advent of the era of the big universe, the small concept of country was abandoned and replaced by federation and star alliance.
Still, even in this context, people like to live together with people of the same skin color and eye color.
For this reason, the black-haired, black-eyed Lu Li was placed near Kabukicho.
