Chapter 957 Oil Paint on a Blank Canvas

Xu Cheng left, and Xu Yang walked along the wooden pier trail.

The blue sea water surges under the metal railings. This is the famous Monica Paradise Pier on the west coast, where many movies and games have been filmed.

The landmark-like small Ferris wheel stops at the end of the pier, surrounded by colorful tents, and there is a row of tall palm trees outside the beach, covering the coastal road and the colorful exterior walls of the hotel.

He never thought that he would walk here in his lifetime, thinking that things in games will always be games.

At this moment, Xu Yang received a letter invitation from Rohit Memnon.

Memnon was the speaker of the West Coast Treaty Organization, the CEO of Yemen Technology Company, and a big shot. He just stepped down 2 weeks before the catastrophe and escaped the catastrophe. The Shenhui was also given to Xu Yang by him.

Did he go back to the West Coast? Xu Yang thought to himself. Shouldn't Memnon retire somewhere in Taixizhou?

"Hello." Xu Yang connected the signal.

"Oh, Mr. Xu, I'm on the west coast. Could you spare a moment to meet?" Memnon asked.

"I'm at the dock of Monica Paradise." Xu Yang said.

"I'll be there right away."

Xu Yang leaned against the metal railing, and Memnon came five minutes later.

His private shuttle was like a crimson bird, standing out on the beach, a tall robot came down first and stood beside the shuttle, acting as a bodyguard.

"That robot is the 'Barbecue Stove' produced by Taixizhou Covenant Industry?" Xu Yang asked.

He is very concerned about the subtle changes in the current world. After the catastrophe, the company in Taixizhou gathered the remaining industrial resources and established Taixizhou Covenant Industry.

"Yes, yes." Memnon had gray hair and was wearing a gray formal suit, respectful to Xu Yang, he extended his hand and shook hands with Xu Yang, with a smile on his face, "I finally see you again, Mr. Xu. "

"Why did you go back to the west coast?" Xu Yang asked, "Didn't you want to retire back then?"

"I did go back to my hometown in Taixizhou before, but I couldn't adapt to the environment there, everything was too old, the pace was too slow, and the people there didn't like me, I got up to work at six o'clock, and the others were still fainting Sleepy. I'm like the catfish that strayed into the sardine cargo hold. The environment has been poor these past few years, isolated, dangerous, and alien monsters everywhere, so uncomfortable." Memnon said helplessly.

"The work culture on the west coast is more suitable for you." Xu Yang said.

"Yes, to exaggerate, the city is calling for me. So I came back with great enthusiasm, and I came with a vision. I thought, although I am only an honorary citizen of Xintaixizhou, I am no more than a local citizen. Poor, I have knowledge, professional ability, and my own resources, so I should be able to stand out." Memnon said.

"It seems that you are not nominated on the list of committee members." Xu Yang said.

"...Yes, after the catastrophe, many people have changed, and many ideas have changed." Memnon sighed.

"The west coast is responding to the call and is preparing to build a new community of citizens." Xu Yang said.

"Not one, but twenty. In the future, the west coast will be divided into 20 distinct cities. Agave City, Xiaren Street, Rainbow Flag Community, Great Aboriginal Community, Black Community, Robot Street, and Furry Street , Two-dimensional City, Lalafell Reservation, New Gecheng Gang, Fifty-Star Flag...all messed up, each living in its own way." Memnon lamented.

"That's pretty good." Xu Yang disagreed.

"Of course, it was your idea. You proposed to decentralize the world and live in its own way. I, the 'big guy', came back to the west coast and found that it was true. They all lived their own lives and didn't care about me at all. There is no 'elite class' and rich clubs that I was used to back then, and the people left behind started to form groups according to their own ideas." Memnon complained.

"I think that people can organize their own production and life. Each member is not only the master of his own body and ability, but also the leader and master of the whole society. Everyone has equal status and weight in their own society. Now, all the forces that ruled and monopolized everything in the past have been damaged and beaten badly. Then, the dragons will have no leader, and the world will be happy." Xu Yang said.

"But you still have a council, and an army for the council," said Memnon, puzzled.

"Yes, but this is voluntary. The members of the council are all voluntary, and other people provide the resources provided by the council on a voluntary basis. What the council does is not management or governance, but non-compliance Selfishly assisting the entire civilization to resist foreign enemies, to be honest, what the council does is hard work." Xu Yang said.

"According to your thinking, there will be no such powerful large enterprises anymore, and there will be no powerful people who can force others to do this or that. After that, you can only sincerely believe that people will naturally move towards a state of order, Making a living without management." Memnon said helplessly.

"When intelligent life first produced thoughts from chaos and disorder, we have already entered a state of order." Xu Yang said.

"I came here to ask you for a job in the new West Coast." Memnon put his hands on the railing, "The world as I understand it has been turned upside down in the past six years, and I miss the old world. There are many shortcomings, but it is also very clear. For example, since it makes you nowhere to go, then you join the giant corporation and climb slowly in it. The giant corporation has its own army, laws and currency, and you only need to Just be a cell in this monster. If you are lucky, you can rise from the soles of your feet to your brain. Then sit and watch those people outside the giant corporations, those who work hard in small companies, do odd jobs on the street, People who sell their blood and sweat in the factory, see how they suffer, just like that, watching them with coffee in hand, has the most beautiful sense of superiority from the bottom of my heart."

"Resources are concentrated in giant enterprises, people's livelihood remains at a very low level, technology is extremely high, and life is extremely poor." Xu Yang said.

"Yeah, but I have the opportunity to enter a giant company since I was born, so I don't feel much. Thinking about it now, those people who were born in poor places did not have rights at birth, and they will not be able to fight for them in this life." Memnon said.

"People are tired." Xu Yang said, "People at that time were terribly poor."

"Hey, how about now? The West Coast is very strange now. The 'stability' I used to appreciate has disappeared. There is no such thing as an employee handbook or a life guide to guide our survival." Memnon said.

"I feel that something that is closely related to ideals is sprouting in people's hearts now. These things sparked a spark that will create a fairer society that is greater than the past and create a bold miracle." Xu Yang said.

"You are the greatest idealist I have ever seen, what you said is really like a beautiful dream." Memnon sighed long, "—Maybe I should really retire."

"Get back your past ideals, I guess, when you went back to the west coast, you thought you could find a mayor, but now you can't be a mayor, but you can still find what you really want to do." Xu Yang said.

Memnon looked at the undulating sea, and his thoughts seemed to drift back to his childhood.

"I want to." Memnon paused, then repeated, "I want to open a bookstore."

"Bookstore?" Xu Yang was curious.

"When I was 11 years old, I bought two books from the bookstore, one is "Introduction to Circuit Programming Design" and the other is "Fire on the Abyss". The things written in the previous book have been archived by me. It’s in the area to be destroyed in the chip, but I always remember the story told in the latter book. The story in the book...it’s amazing, 80 years have passed, and the story is still so beautiful, so beautiful! The story in the novel , took me to enjoy an incomparably strange life, I think we human beings live by stories. So I should also open a bookstore and sell stories to young people. I am 91 years old this year. When I am nearly a hundred years old, I seem to be really I have time to open a bookstore." Memnon raised his head and looked at the sky.

"Good luck." Xu Yang shook hands with him.

"Thank you." Memnon sighed, "I just thought that it would be difficult for people to achieve that ideal state, and maybe people would have to drive backwards in the future."

"If you don't reverse the car, you don't deserve to be called history." Xu Yang said.

Memnon nodded and said goodbye to Xu Yang. He boarded his shuttle and returned to the dilapidated cities on the west coast, where tens of millions of survivors evacuated from the interior tried to rebuild the city brick by brick.

People can't always look down on themselves. Xu Yang thought to himself. The past is gone forever, history itself has been killed. The great existence that was once famous far and wide has either fallen or been forgotten.

If civilization is like a mottled canvas, it has been wiped clean by successive wars. Now the surviving people are painting it with the color of the new era one stroke after another.

The future starts now.

...

Falosa reunited the fragments of the throne, just like in Aizu City, she entered the space of the throne again, and summoned all the ancient mystics.

"In the past, Orxian'an gave orders from the seat of God. It swallowed the god-ascension machine. It was so powerful that all the gods were forced to kneel forward and worship Orxian'an." Farosha took Xu Yang into the space of the seat of God. .

She sat on the brand-new throne, with her hands on the armrests of the chair, waiting for the gods to appear.

"How does it feel to sit on the throne?" Xu Yang was curious.

"It's just an iron chair, hard," Faroza laughed.

"You will also let them kneel down and move forward." Xu Yang said.

"No, no." Farosha was reminded by Xu Yang, thinking of this, she couldn't help getting up.

She stands on a high stage similar to a black stage, and below are many seats, facing Falosa in a semicircle. Soon they will arrive one by one to participate in the first meeting of the gods and decide the laws of the new world.

Yanduo and his three brothers arrived.

The Corporation Alliance originally housed a fourth Titan, and now releases him as well, the gaseous Titan Phaeus Faye.

It has been cooperating with the agents of the corporate alliance for a long time. They surrendered their souls and lifespans, and Phaeus taught them the special spell of "vaporization".

"Are they still involved in the formulation of the laws of the new world?" Faroza asked.

"If you don't participate, Yanduo has to go home." Xu Yang said, "I now understand why Yanduo insisted on finding his three brothers and returning to Xingyun Village together, because it would be too lonely to go back alone."
