Awakening Millennium
Vol 2 Chapter 989: Eve, can you see it?
"And even there are ways to show off, but compared to now, there are far fewer things to show off in ancient times than now."
Eve looked at the photos on Levi's phone and nodded thoughtfully.
"People in the past wanted to show off that apart from jewelry, crafts, and artwork, there are not many things that can show their status and wealth. Like now, if you have a luxury car, I can buy a yacht and a private jet. You go Traveling in Europe and even the Antarctic and Arctic, I can still take a rocket to go around in space."
Although Eve has always lived in the environment of the "Great Universe Age", it is not that some technology has been relatively backward, and it has not yet reached a planet that can enter the level of cosmic technology. She listened to Levi and remembered the general living conditions of some people on the planet. Even if the people living on those planets are not necessarily ‘human beings’ in the concept of human beings on earth, they have to admit that Levi’s words are quite correct. As long as it is a wise life, most of them really have similar thinking patterns and needs and desires.
"There are not many novelty things to show off and pay attention to, then those people can only work on the details of the existing things. Just like now it is clearly mechanized and developing in the direction of artificial intelligence production, many high-end luxury goods Things in the field are in turn focused on'backward' handmade."
No matter how much emphasis is placed on ‘human ability’, at least in refined work, the average human being, no matter how proficient in skills, can’t compete with a computer-controlled machine. Levi is an ordinary person who does not believe that he has been skilled for decades, and can cut leather goods that are more beautiful and'precise' than high-precision processing machines. I don’t even believe that hand-carved jewelry can be more skillful than machine-carved jewelry.
"Even pure mechanical products, such as cars, have started to be hand-made at a certain level. It is obvious that ordinary workers without special capabilities can never be better than machines, but because hand-made is more difficult than machines, More time-consuming, this has become a'reasonable' price increase, so that those rich can buy it at a'reasonable' price, so that they can'reasonably' show off their wealth."
"Worse things are more expensive to sell, but people who buy them feel more worthwhile?"
Eve can't understand this idea a little, and she is confused when she tilts her head.
"It's similar to what you said, but those who buy it feel that the value is not worth it, and it's not because of the quality of the things they buy. But because those things are made by hand, they buy other people's craftsmanship, others Labor, and the notion that it takes more time, more trouble, and cannot be owned by more people. These are the real values of those products."
Eve shook her head, it seemed that after listening to it, she understood it a little but not too well. Fortunately, she didn’t have much interest in this kind of thing. Otherwise, Levi, a good teacher but not a real person in every aspect, has to reveal that he is actually just an English teacher.
"So it's because people in the past don't have so many novelties, so they pay special attention to details that don't make sense at all. It's because these things are meaningless, but they can make them'different' from others, right? ?"
Levi is not a good teacher, but Eve is indeed a good student.
The other teachers in the school felt that it would be tiring to teach students like Eve and Nagato Yuki who were always silent. However, Levi knew that Youxi did not like to say anything, and Eve was actually not a ‘level’ with her.
Eve is not just like Levi now. When she stays with a girl who has a better relationship with her at home, she is also more active and can play with people well. Although it sometimes feels a bit dull, it is mostly a matter of speaking tone and facial expression. If you really communicate, you will find that this girl is not as difficult to get along with the appearance.
For example, at home, Eve has a very good relationship with a girl who is more lively and easy to touch and is very pure, such as Tanamachi. Although it didn't take long to know each other, even Eve admitted that Naye was her best friend, and often saw two people sitting and chatting together, or running around without knowing what to do.
"Yes, that's what you said. At least I think it should be like this."
In the final analysis, this is just an explanation imagined by a middle school teacher who teaches English in Levi. Is it exactly as he said, I am afraid that Eve is not interested in asking experts who study history or sociology~www.wuxiaspot.com~At least Levi said that she already feels very reasonable. . After she had heard it, she looked at the man that Levy felt suspicious as if she felt something was wrong.
"That person does look a little strange."
Eve blinked and looked at the man's appearance and manners more and more abnormally.
"His actions are more like looking for excitement than looking for something?"
Not only the problem of dressing up after Levi's explanation, Eve did a closer look and found some strange behavior of the man. For example, he doesn't stare at the gate of the museum and the police who come and go like the people around him who are also busy and watching. On the contrary, from time to time, some sneaky heads turned to observe the pedestrians crowded around him.
The look of the man gave Eve a bit of a crime, and after returning to the crime scene to observe the situation. On the one hand, I was observing the police's actions and wanted to see which clues the police found. On the other hand, he paid attention to his surroundings, and became a guilty conscience, fearing that others would find his anomalies. Especially the plainclothes policemen who may be mixed in the crowd, or the "detective detectives passing by" that are common in inference novels.
"As far as I know, there are indeed many criminals who will return to the scene of the crime after committing the crime."
Levi had never been a policeman, but in the past he was nominally a killer, but much of the work he did was not too fundamentally different from the policeman.
The police is responsible for arresting the criminal suspect and bringing it to the judicial organ for trial and conviction. In Levi’s work, most of them omit the process of review and conviction by some judicial organs, and he replaces the police to arrest criminals and make the guest role of ‘executor’.
Perhaps those who insist on the rule of law will believe that Levi is also an unforgivable crime.
