May you be happy and prosperous

It is easy to feel uneasy but also very interesting to get to know a new world again.

After getting the ID card, Lu Twelve got a temporary single dormitory in the rescue station. This dormitory is next to Sale's room... After everything was settled, he put the can of goat milk powder and the pet recipe book together. Lu Twelve, who was so hungry that his chest was stuck to his back, followed Saier's ass to get food to satisfy his hunger.

There are two large freezers and one shelf in the corner of the rescue station. The first freezer is full of meat food, the second freezer is full of nutrient solutions of various colors and levels, and the third shelf is a mess. There are small bags full of what looks like white flour.

Purcell drifted past the first freezer full of meat without taking his eyes off it, and stopped in front of the second freezer in front of the nutrient solution. Enter a series of numbers on a combination lock——

"The input is the personal number on the ID card. When inputting, remember to bring the ID card with you, because the food delivery system will be based on the ID card number you input and the corresponding ID number within five meters of the ID card. There are some contribution points, and different foods will be dropped—these machines have a fixed program, and an ID card number can only drop food once a day.”

While Saier was talking, he only heard a soft "bang", just like a drink dropped from a vending machine in the past, and a can of ice-cold nutrient solution fell out of the machine——Saier bent down and put the Take out the C-level red nutrient solution, open it and take a sip, sighed as if very satisfied, then pointed to the refrigerator full of meat behind Lu Twelve and said: "If you are capable, After reaching a certain level, you can exchange for meat products. The cooking tools in the kitchen are used to make these things—damn, I don’t know when was the last time I ate meat..."

In any case, there is no need to think about the meat, it is better to fill the stomach first.

Lu Twelve curiously came to the refrigerator where the nutrient solution was stored, and was about to enter his ID card number, but at this moment, Saier pulled him back and pushed him to the messy bag full of white "flour" "In front of the shelf: "For babies with zero contribution value - nutrition powder, you can take as many packs as you want every day, and no one will care about you. These things are completely worthless, and they are cheap waste disposal products after the production of nutrient solution. So it's offered for free."

Lu Twelve twitched the corners of his lips, bent over painfully and took a pack of nutrition powder, weighed it, tore open the package and smelled it, the tangy smell of flour made him take a little "poof" Sneezed a little, and then, with an embarrassing face, he commented sincerely: "It's like pig food."

"Oh, I reminded you just now, and you will soon know what it means to be 'worse than a wild dog'-do you feel it now? It's good to have something to eat, don't be picky-the nutrition powder is a bit dry, if you want to drink some water About one pack is enough to fill you up, there are disposable water cups in the kitchen, and the water in the tap can be drunk directly.”

Saier squinted his eyes and smiled, and after explaining everything, he stopped looking at the black-haired young man with his head lowered and studying the nutrition powder in his hand. He sat on the sofa in the living room with his own nutrition solution, moved his buttocks, and sat comfortably. He turned on the TV, watched TV, and drank nutrient solution—after waiting for a while, he heard footsteps behind him, and then a figure flashed in front of him, holding nutrient powder in one hand, and holding a cup of black tea in the other. The young man sat down next to him.

Purcell grabbed the remote control panel and changed several channels. Finally, when the screen switched to the competitive sports channel, his eyes lit up and he recognized the remote control——

What was shown on the TV was the final of a martial arts competition about three years ago.

At this moment, the commentator on the TV is very excitedly explaining: "This fight is actually not a top-level event, but this final has been frequently mentioned in three years—because in this Within a year after the first game, the two phantom beasts 'Longhua' and 'Saar' who were still in the form of beasts in the game video had 'awakening' events one after another. Ascension will not continue to participate in the martial arts meeting, this game has almost become their farewell match to bid farewell to the martial arts meeting—”

"What is 'awakening'?"

Lu Twelve picked up a handful of "flour" and put it into his mouth, while asking absent-mindedly—he pouted during this period, and found that this nutritional powder really deserves to be a free product that can be taken casually, except that it can fill your stomach In addition, this thing really has no taste at all, it really tastes like eating dry flour.

...Maybe worse than dry flour, the sticky and slippery taste after the mouth is very disgusting-although this kind of thing is called "nutrient powder", you can guess what it says it contains with your toes "Nutrition" probably equals almost nothing.

Purcell put up a finger and pressed it to his lips: "Hush! You'll know it when you see it!"

When Lu Twelve frowned and tasted his first meal on the earth after 500 years, two phantom beasts on the TV had already entered the arena one after another, and one of them looked like A snake with a pair of wings, and the other... The tone is to say that it is an animal, rather it is like an erratic elf shrouded in a cloud of smoke. It has a pale face, narrow blue eyes and floating eyes. Blue hair, it has no mouth or nose, and its limbs are shrouded in long white robes.

When the two phantom beasts entered the arena, the TV screen switched. First, the "ID photo" with the big heads of the two Phantom beasts appeared, and then another 3D stereoscopic picture appeared next to the ID photo—named "" The 3D stereogram next to Longhua's Phantom Beast ID photo is a beautiful woman. She has soft and smooth sea blue long hair, exquisite facial features and fair skin. No matter how you look at it, she is a top beauty. When the 3D stereogram It started to turn, but Lu Twelve was surprised to find that the ears of this top-notch beauty were not human-like, but wing-shaped ears that were exactly the same as the pair of wings on the back of the phantom beast "Long Hua"...

Lu Twelve opened his mouth wide, and before he could realize what it meant, the TV screen snapped everything again, and cut to the side of the phantom beast "Saar"—it was still the big head "passport photo" and the matching 3D stereogram, This time the 3D stereoscopic image is much more intuitive. In the 3D stereoscopic image, the face of the phantom beast is completely materialized, and the pair of narrow blue pupils have also become the blue eyes of normal humans. It has a nose and The mouth and round face have become angular and become the appearance of an adult man, and the erratic long hair has become spiritual short hair. The man has beautiful bronze skin and is wearing a simple white robe. When 3D Turning the three-dimensional picture, Lu Twelve was surprised to find again that this man had fairy-like ears that were exactly the same as those of the Eudemons...

This... well?

Just when Lu Twelve was confused, he heard Saier say: "Hey, didn't you ask what 'awakening' is? These 3D stereograms are the awakened states of 'Longhua' and 'Saar'—tsk tsk tsk, Longhua My sister is so beautiful after awakening! Look at that waist, look at that glamorous and noble facial features, look at that god-like temperament, I am her fan!"

"...Aren't they human?"

"Where do you see that they look like humans?" Purcell rolled his eyes, and gestured on his ears, "Which human's ears look like this! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It’s an old antique from before! Why don’t you understand anything! Don’t go out these few days, just stay in the aid station and read some books and TV to supplement your common sense!”

"..."

……

So Lu Twelve is like a life idiot who doesn't understand anything. For the next three consecutive days, he listened to Searle's suggestion and stayed in the rescue station in front of the TV. Blood TV dramas or news broadcasts, even if it is an advertisement that everyone hates, he still sits upright and watches it seriously-and what Saier said is not wrong, everything shown on TV is helping him gradually understand this world.

After 500 years, the anti-Japanese war drama is still popular in this world, but now the content of the anti-Japanese war drama is no longer about tearing up Little Japan, but about tearing up the Vatlun star——

In these anti-war dramas that are repeatedly broadcast on every channel, Lu Twelve roughly understands that the alien invasion war ended not long after he was blasted to pieces. Killed in his country, the invaders from these alien planets then evacuated the earth.

Decades later, human beings rebuilt a bustling city on the remnants of war, and buildings stood on both sides of the street again, but the weapons of mass destruction used by both sides recklessly during the war caused serious damage to the environment of the earth. The irreparable damage of human beings, the radiation from nuclear weapons used by humans and the explosion of new weapons and lasers with unknown components used by aliens have caused genetic mutations in many creatures on the earth, and what is worse is that in addition to mutations, more plants Animals have since been completely extinct on this planet.

People first felt the change in the environment, and it started in the Celestial Dynasty. When the people on the planet Vatlun left and returned to the life track, when humans tried to plant again on the once fertile black soil, they found that although the soil was still The previous texture, but on this land, no plants can grow anymore, and the once fertile land has become a wasteland.

Immediately afterwards, similar related reports began to appear around the world.

Vegetables are becoming more and more scarce, and garden vegetation can only live in a special artificial nutrient solution. Nutritionists have invented a synthetic vegetable nutrient solution to meet the elements needed by the human body-this is 500 years After the present, the original prototypes of those nutrient solutions.

After a series of panics, the entire social order is slowly recovering. However, there are still many small countries whose economies are sluggish after the war, and are forced to merge to form new countries or alliances—this is the first continental fusion.

And at this time, some scientists dug up a strange egg under the soil of the war relics. The egg was much larger than the eggs laid by ordinary animals-this egg was quickly sent to the research institute, almost A month later, when the egg that was placed in the incubator successfully hatched, a furry creature similar to a canine crawled out, but the tail of this creature was completely made of metal!In line with the post-war agreement on information sharing, the existence of this creature was quickly announced to the public, and the entire human society was shocked again, because they were too familiar with such biological structures—about a few years ago, they were once Creatures have invaded homes.

When the new article about "discovering the descendants of the Valterans" occupied the headlines of the major media, people began to unearth many such eggs one after another in war sites around the world.

In the beginning, all the eggs were nervously managed together.

But as life becomes more and more comfortable, decades later, when the oldest group of human beings who directly witnessed the war grow old, the young blood becomes the new force of the earth. What happened, they just learned about the most unbearable war in human history through books and movies.

Time has robbed them of the mournful resonance of war talk.

Along with the older generation of scientists and politicians retiring in old age, I don’t know from which day, some of the scientists suddenly proposed that these strange creatures that “we’re not sure whether they are descendants of the Valterans” should be used rationally. It was suppressed without hesitation—however, this voice seemed to be just the beginning, and more and more people began to think about these creatures that they spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to support...

In the end, headed by the Oudong Continent formed by the original "US, Britain, and Japan" alliance, they used a reason of "making young people understand the historical truth better", and the first such creature was put into Odong Exhibited inside the Central Park Isolation Park...

This incident seems to have opened a gap for "the last integrity of mankind".

In a free society that increasingly emphasizes "freedom", "individual interests" and "information sharing", Oudongda's move quickly won praise and approval from all over the world. The continent where the creatures were shared began to come under the pressure of public opinion. The power of the people is great. After a long-term battle of saliva, they finally saw such creatures in their own continent.

The farts even started to compare which continent has the beast shape that looks more effective in combat.

And the history of mankind has decided: when a creature is approved to be sent to the zoo, it is destined that one of the creatures will become the pet of the rich one day.

About the 230th year after the war, this unknown creature was sold for the first time at an astronomical figure of "[-] billion" to an Eastern European local tycoon whose name has been recorded in history since then. It exploded. From that day on, the real local tyrants kept aliens.

Since then, people no longer feel that these creatures hatched from eggs and grown up by themselves are "aliens". I don't know when people who read too many martial arts fantasy novels began to call these creatures affectionately. The thing is "Phantom Beast".

After raising phantom beasts as a local tyrant's behavior became more and more frequent, people gradually discovered that phantom beast eggs were handed over to the original owner, and after they hatched, they formed a strange bond with the "master", "absolute trust" , Absolute obedience" seems to be their nature - a warrior once said with a lot of emotion: These phantom beasts are born soldiers.

Some local tyrants began to hold fights between these phantom beasts. Here is the prototype of the first "martial arts meeting" - in the process of phantom beasts fighting, people were surprised to find that these phantom beasts can actually accumulate experience through fighting , and then proceed to physical evolution!

It is very likely that they will directly grow new body organs or learn new fighting methods during a certain competition. At the same time, their appearance will also undergo some corresponding changes.

In the 450th and seventh year after the Vatlun invasion war ended, when phantom beasts had become indispensable "pets" in the homes of people in the upper class, one morning, in Eastern Europe, a certain person successively won various large-scale "fighting games" When the local tyrant who won the competition woke up in the morning, he was horrified to find that the snake-shaped phantom sleeping next to him last night was gone, and replaced by a beautiful oriental beauty with a white face and a charming figure.

She has the same green pupils as the snake-shaped phantom beast, and the same cold body temperature. When she spoke, a soft "Master" made the local tyrant who had seen all kinds of great worlds faint in fright.

This phantom beast that can freely switch between human form and phantom beast form is the famous "protégé".

Only then did people know that the ultimate form of the phantom beast can actually transform into a human being. Some people call this state "awakening".

No one knows what conditions are needed for the awakening of phantom beasts, and no one knows what kind of circumstances their awakening will happen—almost everyone who has raised adult phantom beasts is imagining that one day this kind of surprise will fall on them on the head.

In the next few years, until 2015, when Lu Twelve was at this moment, the "awakening" events on the earth happened one after another fifteen times. The completed human figures are different from men, women and children, the only thing they have in common is that after awakening, their names will be talked about by people for a long time.

Just like the "Longhua" and "Saar" that Lu Twelve had seen on TV before, they are both idol stars of the fantasy beast world with a huge global fan club.

Owning an awakened Eudemons is quite a remarkable thing.

Above, the historical documentary spanning 500 years, the whole drama ends.

Lu Twelve sat in the rescue station, grabbed the remote control, fed his hunger with flour, and spent three days trying to study the world.

Three days later, his only emotion was: I just don't understand this world anymore.
