Chapter 404 403. Characteristics of the Quiet City

The words of Guangfa Bartolo made Lloyd laugh for a while, but it also had some self-deprecating elements, and then he said:

"Ahaha, when I was a child, I actually wanted to be a biologist, chemist, environmental scientist, or materials scientist. But when I grew up, I became an extraordinary person and was involved in the space department."

"You are already very good. You have become a lecturer at a young age, and you have also won the respected 'Outstanding Contribution' medal. It is really enviable and admirable."

The other party complimented and then asked:

"By the way, I just heard you say that you are going to the Quiet City? Visit the alumni association there?"

"Yes, go prepare some materials for transcendence."

"Then can you give me a ride? It just so happens that I haven't been to the Quiet City for a while, and I want to visit my old classmates there. By the way, I also know a lot of people in the alumni association. Can I introduce you to them if necessary? "

"Okay, let's go there when the elevator stops."

Lloyd nodded repeatedly. He happened to be missing a guide by his side. This time he was feeling sleepy and bald.

After the elevator returned to the ground, Lloyd took out a map of the Silent City - he brought it from the academy and spent some credits on it. It is said to be the most detailed, clearest and least wrong version of the ship today. .

Holding the map and comparing it to the address left on the business card, Lloyd could use the three-piece measurement set around him to estimate a coordinate with minimal deviation, and then open the portal with a swipe.

Although this was not the first time for the bald Bartolo to see Lloyd open the portal, he still said in surprise:

"Your portal opens so fast and so accurately. It's more skillful and fluent than the lecturers and professors in the space department. No matter how many times I see it, it still gives me a pleasant shock. I really dare not I believe you just joined the space department not long ago..."

Lloyd replied in his usual humble manner:

"Qualifications don't mean anything when it comes to true talent."

The bald man couldn't help but hesitated for a while...

The two of them passed through the portal and came to a quiet street where people were coming and going, startling the pedestrians around them.

But even though these passers-by were scared to death, they still didn't make a sound and just pointed at Lloyd and the bald mage.

Uh... is this city really not making any noise?

Lloyd couldn't help but be a little surprised.

I was taken around briefly by the saint of wisdom before, but I didn't hear any sound. But at that time, I thought it was the saint who had turned on some kind of 'silent mode', so I couldn't hear anything. But this time, as an individual, I suddenly Visited, but still the same?

Lloyd thought about comforting the passers-by again, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't make any sound?

But what I wanted to say, I still said it normally:

"Don't be nervous, everyone. We are not bad people, we are just extraordinary beings from other places."

The surrounding passers-by miraculously heard this silent speech. They turned from pointing to whispers, and seemed to accept Lloyd's explanation easily?

And the eyes they looked at were much less wary and uneasy, and oddly more envy and respect?

At this time, the laughter of Bald Bartolo came to Lloyd's ears again:

"Haha, is this your first time coming to the Silent City? I guess you're not quite used to the atmosphere here yet?"

"Hmm, feels weird?"

Lloyd replied, still unable to make a sound, but the bald head still heard it.

"It's like this. The whole city here is covered by some kind of realm of the Saint of Knowledge, making everything quiet, but it won't affect normal communication and life. You can pass the sound to the people as usual. Someone who wants to be heard.”

The bald man explained with a smile, then mouthed at the passers-by who were gradually dispersing, and continued to add:

"They were discussing in a low voice just now, but they didn't want us to hear them, so we couldn't hear them; and if you explain to them and want to convey your words to them, they can all hear it... It's probably such an environment and atmosphere Yes, it’s amazing, right?”

"Really, it's as if everyone has become a member of the [intellectual] system?"

Lloyd asked tentatively again.

"It's not like it's true, it's true."

The bald man said, pointing to his ear and asking Lloyd to touch it.

Lloyd quickly stretched out his hand and felt that there seemed to be an invisible earring on his ear?

To be precise, it should be some invisible force that formed the style of the earrings and hung on my ears in a very gentle and weak way, so that no one would notice or notice.

And as Lloyd stretched out his hand to touch it, a bunch of menu options popped up in front of him, like pressing 'esc' when playing a game.

These options include ‘City Map’, ‘Public Services’, ‘Service Guide’, ‘Attraction Recommendations’, etc. Basically, all the functions a tourist needs can be found.

There is also a line of small text next to various options with some welcome words and simple usage guidelines.

So even though the city's infrastructure is not very good, and the streets in front of you are a bit old and dilapidated, the options presented in front of you have a strong sense of science fiction and futurism, and they have a bit of a cyberpunk temperament.

In contrast, the so-called most prosperous Brilliant City is still in the steam age...

"Are these... all the power of the intellectual saint?"

Lloyd asked curiously again.

"It shouldn't be all, there must be other people, or rituals, holy objects and other assistance? Anyway, I can't say for sure, but I dare not pry into the secrets of the saint without authorization."

The bald man shrugged and continued:

"In fact, if we take the normal route, take a train or airship to come here, when we enter the city, someone will specifically guide you to adapt to the "characteristics" of this city, but you came in through the portal, so you skipped this step."

Lloyd nodded thoughtfully, and he had a basic understanding of the characteristics of this city.

I just don't understand why we have to spend energy to do this? Isn't it enough for everyone to talk and communicate normally? As a result, the whole city is weird, even the cars running on the road are silent, too quiet.

But this characteristic is not without benefits, right? At least you don't have to worry about your chat being overheard by others, and you don't have to set up a silent barrier; if you want to discuss some secrets or pass on some important knowledge, you don't have to worry about it being leaked.

Lloyd thought about it briefly and asked:

"I see, you tried to be convenient but ended up scaring passers-by, but fortunately they are pretty easy to talk to?"

Bartolo also nodded and replied:

"Well, although they are taciturn, the people here are still warm and hospitable, right? At least compared to the Eternal City;

And as residents here, they can use more functions than us tourists, they can quickly check our identities, and they can instantly know that we are both tourists, so they believe your previous explanation. "

After saying that, he remembered the changes in the eyes of those passers-by before, and asked with some doubts:

"But the way those people looked at us just now was actually a little envious and admiring? Are they envious of my appearance and your physique?"

Lloyd also remembered the changes in the eyes of those passers-by, and originally wanted to ask what the bald man said, but he didn't know it? So he could only answer with a smile:

"Are you sure you didn't say it the other way around?"

"Haha, I'm just kidding. Okay, the alumni association is just across the street. Let's go over there."

He pointed to a particularly magnificent building across the street.

The building is five stories high, and the style is a bit like some kind of high-end club. Not only is it beautiful in appearance, it is also well maintained. It is completely different from the other old and dilapidated buildings around it, and it is particularly eye-catching.

But there is no sign hanging at the gate. If it were an ordinary passerby, he might not know what this place is for?

When Lloyd followed the bald man across the street, a car horn suddenly sounded in his ears. It was a steam car reminding them to be careful.

It seems that the driver wanted to attract their attention, so they could hear it.

I didn't expect that the special field here can even affect machinery. It's really amazing...

If I can become a saint in the future and control a city that belongs to me, I will also add my own personal characteristics.

For example, drinks must be spicy, mediocre and traditional cooks are not allowed to cook, beautiful girls cannot wear shoes, and being fickle is not considered a scumbag...

Lloyd thought about it in his mind for a while, and then followed the bald Bartolo into the gorgeous building.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard a crisp ring in his mind, followed by an emotionless mechanical voice saying:

"Lecturer Bartolo from the Mage Department and Lecturer Lloyd from the Space Department are visiting."

As soon as the voice fell, a well-dressed white-collar worker immediately appeared and greeted enthusiastically:

"Nice to meet you, two lecturers, welcome to the Alumni Association of the City of Quiet."

Although these sounds were not transmitted through the eardrums, but were directly inserted into Lloyd's brain, they were processed more naturally and not as deliberately as outside. If you don't concentrate and carefully distinguish them, they are no different from normal communication.

It seems that the Alumni Association has made some optimization and improvements for the special fields in the city?

While Lloyd was thinking, he shook hands with the enthusiastic white-collar worker and exchanged a few polite words.

Coincidentally, at this moment, the other party also saw the golden collar clip on his collar, and said with a little surprise:

"Is this... the top student collar clip only for S-rated people? My God, this is the first time I have seen such an outstanding person like you, please come in quickly!"
