Global time travel

Chapter 250
"Yes, sir, but to be precise, it should be called a city-state or a city-state." Wulu corrected: "This city-state is called 'City of Light', and like 'Dark Forest', it is jointly owned by the six major races. create."

Hearing this, Liu Zhi couldn't help being stunned, he had already guessed the origins of these six races - the interstellar colonists who were driven here by the cooperation of hundreds of races from outside the region 8000 years ago!
Unexpectedly, they actually created such a vast forest here, and there are city-states in the forest!It seems that in the past 8000 years, they have lived quite well, at least much better than the Yan people.

"I don't know what the city-state built by the interstellar civilization will look like?"

"There is a shortage of various materials in this crying abyss, and the rules of the planet have changed. The interstellar city-state... is really unimaginable."

Liu Zhi was full of curiosity about this "City of Light", but he also knew in his heart that before going to the City of Light, the corresponding preparations had to be done well, otherwise his curiosity might not be satisfied, and he might have killed the two of them instead.

More than two hours later, Liu Zhi learned about the general situation of Guangguang City from Wu Luzui.

The city is located in the middle of the dark forest, about 30 kilometers away from here. There are five ethnic groups living in the city, the Guni, Nu, Dete, Hudi, and Qingwu, with a total population of more than 90.

The red people do not belong to the city of light. They are distributed in the edge area around the dark forest. Nearly one million, almost equivalent to the total population of the five ethnic groups.

The relationship between the red people and the five races is very bad. It is not an exaggeration to say that they will never die. Hundreds of years ago, they would attack Guangming City with all their strength every one or two years. The internal frequency has decreased, but it is basically a small battle every five years and a big battle every ten years.

Although the two sides have turned against each other so far, the red people have never captured the city of light, but they have never given up. The reason why they are distributed around the dark forest is to surround the city of light and not let any race go.

As for why the former allies turned into deadly enemies, Wulu seemed to have no idea. It said that these secrets were probably only known to the top few people, and even if it wanted to investigate, there was no way at all.

The highest administrative body of the City of Light is similar to the "Council of Elders" on Earth, with a total of seven seats, of which the Guni and Nu tribes each occupy two seats, and the other races occupy three seats.

Members of the Council of Elders are often the top powerhouses of all races, even if they are not the strongest, their prestige is undoubtedly the first.

In addition, the elders usually hold important positions. Among the two elders of the Guni nationality, one is the consul in charge of civil affairs, and the other is the inspector in charge of finance and fortifications.

The elders of the Nu nationality took over the positions of commander in chief of the army and chief officer of the guards.

The elders of the Dete tribe are in charge of technology and cultivation, the elders of the Hudi tribe are in charge of law, and the elders of the Qingwu tribe are in charge of education.

The rest of the senior officials are also held by the strong of the five clans.

As Wu Lu said, the city of Light pays attention to the law of the jungle, the strong have certain privileges and various benefits, but this does not mean that civilians live in dire straits.

The education and medical care in Guangming City are almost free, and the food is quite cheap. As long as you work hard, it is not difficult to support yourself. The remaining money can be used to enrich and improve yourself. This is equivalent to giving everyone a chance to climb up. chance to climb.

However, the reason why people's destiny is different is not because of brains and abilities, but because of ambition!
Some people work hard, but some people are lazy and comfortable; some people care about their family, country, and nation, while some people only care about themselves; some people endure everything just to soar into the sky, while some people are timid and dare not move forward.

Therefore, there is a distinction between strong and weak, superior and inferior.

After Liu Zhi understood this clearly, his interest in Guangming City undoubtedly increased a bit, his eyes fell on Wulu's face, and he said seriously: "There is one last question, Wulu, who are the people from Guangming City who come from the outside world?" What kind of attitude?"

Wu Lu was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a while and said, "I'm not too sure about this. It seems that since the completion of Guangming City, there have never been people from other than the six ethnic groups, and there are no relevant regulations in the law."

After hearing this, Liu Zhi couldn't help but fell into deep thought. He couldn't figure out the attitude of Guangming City towards alien races. He would never dare to go there lightly. The three-foot tail, 8000 years ago, the tail gradually disappeared in the evolution, it is not impossible.

If there were still people among the five tribes who remembered what happened 8000 years ago, he and Shu Yue would not even have a chance to tell the difference, and they would be shot to death on the ground - if they had guns!
Just when it was in trouble, Wu Lu spoke again. It looked at Liu Zhi and added seriously: "Master leader, you don't have to worry. Although your appearance is different from any other race, people with similar appearance and skin to you, There are still many of them, these people are the descendants of the union of different races, and they all have all kinds of strange looks, and everyone has long been used to them."

Liu Zhi was dubious, and continued to ask: "Then to enter the City of Light, do I need to show anything? For example, identity certificates and the like."

"I want it, but this matter is easy to solve." Wulu said with a relaxed expression: "I have a lot of identity certificates, just change it for you."

Lots of credentials?

Liu Zhi looked Wu Lu up and down a few times. Judging from his previous behavior of blocking the road and robbing, he probably lost a lot of lives. These evidences are likely to be obtained in this way, but this guy looks like a The innocent and harmless appearance, Liu Zhi really didn't know for a while, whether he should believe it or not.

"Where are the identity certificates you mentioned?" Liu Zhi asked.

"There, it's in my operating room." Wulu pointed to the bone ball with a big hole.

Liu Zhi was a little surprised. The door that Wulu jumped out of was not even ten centimeters high. Would there be an identity card worn by a human being inside?And a lot?How small are these certificates?

Strange as it is, Liu Zhi still took it and walked over. He opened the bone door and found that there was indeed a hidden mystery inside. There was a small seat that looked like an operating table in the middle. The chassis was stable, with a helmet and a buckle device. , a piece is recessed in the center of the operating table, which should be the place to place the red crystal block, other than that, there is no other complicated design.

Liu Zhi thought he would see something like a supercomputer or a projector, but he didn't expect it to be so simple. He guessed that the red crystal block should be the power device, the small seat is used to fix the body, and the helmet may not only replace the perspective of the skull, but also It has the function of issuing instructions.

Putting Wulu down, it immediately got into the bone door, and quickly dragged out a box the size of a pinky finger. This box is not too big for its size, so it should be easy to lift, but it has to be dragged, and It looks extremely laborious.

Seeing it clenched its teeth, Liu Zhi took a step and let out a cry, obviously using all the strength to feed it, so out of curiosity, he stretched out two fingers to help it pinch.

As soon as he took the thing into his hands, Liu Zhi felt his fingertips feel heavy. It was indeed quite heavy, probably at least a hundred or ten kilograms.

After the box was placed on the ground, Wulu picked up the crystal block and began to cast spells without hesitation. When the crystal block glowed red, a dark red light curtain suddenly appeared between Wulu's brows, covering the entire box inside.

When illuminated by the light curtain, the surface of the box shone brightly, and it began to grow continuously, but within a short while, it had already turned into the size of a table.

Liu Zhi opened his eyes wide, his expression was full of surprise, this was the first time he had seen such a magic that transforms the size of an object.

Shu Yue subconsciously rubbed her eyes, as if she couldn't believe what she saw.

Wulu walked to the front of the box, pressed a few buttons, and the box unfolded, and at the same time extended a long ladder. Wulu ran up the stairs, rummaged around in the box, and quickly took out two Holding the thin nameplate, he held it up to Liu Zhi, and asked, "Master, do you think these two certificates are suitable?"

Liu Zhi picked it up and took a look. This nameplate is somewhat similar to an ID card. The portraits on it are a man and a woman. They both look young, but their appearances are too different. If you take this thing into the city, a blind person can see them Not me.

"Can this avatar be changed?" Liu Zhi lowered his head and asked.

"Well, yes." Wulu nodded confidently, ran to the middle of the box with two nameplates in his arms, applied some liquid on the nameplates, wiped it with a cloth, and the head portrait gradually faded away, and soon there was only an outline left, followed by it He took out another pen, first looked back at Liu Zhi and the two of them, and then scribbled on the head with such a fast speed that it seemed to be scribbling.

But in the end, within 3 minutes, the heads of Liu Zhi and Shu Yue appeared on the card, as vivid as a photo.

This is not over yet, Wulu put away the pen, sprayed a layer of mist on it immediately, pasted a piece of paper of unknown material, waited for half a minute, the paper was torn, and the process of "making old" was completed, the head portrait It looks very old.

The whole process was very long, in fact, it took five or six minutes at most. Liu Zhi looked at the nameplate with his own face on his hand, and then at the innocent little dragon man. There was only one thought in his mind-how much did this guy do? Fake evidence?

After finishing the nameplate, Wulu jumped out of the box again, ran to the control room and stayed for a while, then the bone ball exploded and turned into hundreds of bones. It ran to Liu Zhi's feet, pointed at the pile of bones, and took He begged: "My lord, can I trouble you to help me put the operating room, these bones, and the equipment there into the box."

Liu Zhi squatted down and said strangely: "The operating room and equipment are all right, but there are only a few bones left, maybe less than one-tenth, so there is no need to take them?"

Wulu pursed her lips aggrievedly, and said in a low voice: "I collected these bones with great difficulty. A little left is better than nothing. Sir, please help me pretend, okay ?"

It raised its small head, with tears in its eyes, it almost grabbed Liu Zhi's trousers.

Although the words were sincere, Liu Zhi still did not agree, and continued: "Then tell me first, what is the purpose of you getting so many bones and forming this skeleton? Don't tell me that it is for robbery?"

Wulu froze for a moment, then nodded seriously and said, "Yes, it's just for robbery."

Liu Zhidao: "Then what is your purpose of robbing?"

Wulu didn't even think about it and said, "Make money."

Liu Zhi almost fell down, this answer obviously did not convince him, being able to invent a detector, and the technology of combining skeleton mechs, which one is not faster than getting money from robbery?Even if it is a fake certificate, at least the risk is not that big, and the income is stable.

"Then what do you want to do after you earn money?" Liu Zhi still didn't give up.

"Of course it's to replace with better bones, make better skeletons, and then continue to rob." Xiaolongren looked serious.

"........."

Liu Zhi was speechless for a long time, before saying: "How about this, I will provide you with better bones, you work for me, I can guarantee that your efficiency in collecting bones will be much faster than robbery, how about it?"

"Work?" Wulu asked in astonishment: "Are you planning to pay me? There is no need for this. I am already a prisoner of the leader. Isn't it natural to obey your arrangement?"

And this thing?

Liu Zhi frowned: "Why didn't you say anything just now?"

Wulu scratched his head: "I forgot, this is a very normal thing in our Guangming City. Anyone who is captured by others in the wild is counted as a captive of the other party. He must pay a certain amount of ransom to get back his freedom. The other party can dispose of them at will, every time I catch such captives, I sell them to the Academy of Science and Technology and the Department of Education, these two places require a lot of people to work, and the price is usually not low."

Liu Zhi stroked his forehead and sighed, it’s fine that Guangming City has such a weird regulation, but Wulu’s handling method is also so weird, there are a lot of free manpower and material resources, and they are not kept to help him make money, but they are actually sold to messy administrative agencies ?The important thing is that they are still selling happily?
Liu Zhi finally understood why this guy was so fond of robbery!

"That is to say, these identity certificates were obtained from the captives?" Liu Zhi asked again.

"Yes." Wulu nodded.

"Wouldn't it be easy to expose? They won't make up for it?" Liu Zhi was puzzled.

"No, the Institute of Science and Technology and the Department of Education paid for their redemption, which is tantamount to buying out their freedom. The more money they pay, the longer the buyout period will be. During this period, they only have job numbers. You don’t have citizenship, so you don’t have the qualifications to reapply.” Wu Lu explained in detail: “And the two I gave you are captives I sold half a year ago, and there is at least half a year before I regain my freedom.”

Liu Zhi frowned slightly, feeling a bit incomprehensible to this policy, isn't this a form of encouragement to fight?The City of Light is inherited from the interstellar civilization, and even intelligent creatures can be created. The productivity must be extremely high. Then why do the Academy of Sciences and the Department of Education buy so many people?Isn't it just to save people?
