"Finally cleaned up!"

Tuo Yi was a bit depressed.

Three months ago, he rented the apartment to a pretty young girl, but when he went to take it back after she left, he found it incredibly dirty. There were takeout boxes all over the floor, and even dog poop in the corners of the room.

He called two cleaning ladies, but they were initially unwilling to take the job. He added several hundred yuan to the cleaning fee, and they reluctantly agreed.

After cleaning for most of the day, he finally got the apartment clean.

Today is the release date of 《Civilization》!

Tuo Yi had been eyeing this game ever since Long Yuan announced it, and he had been looking forward to it.

It's his favorite kind of game to kill time!

He didn't expect to run into such a frustrating thing on the game's release day.

After cleaning up the apartment, Tuo Yi hurried back home.

Before he even entered the house, he heard his baby crying loudly.

"Why is he crying?" Tuo Yi wondered. After growing up a bit, his baby didn't cry as much as he did when he was younger, and his wife was taking care of him. He wondered what was wrong.

However, upon opening the door, a strong smell of vinegar hit him in the face. Tuo Yi frowned at the smell and knew why the baby was crying. The reason was obvious!

Pinching his nose, Tuo Yi asked in a muffled voice, "Wife? What's going on?"

"Quickly close the door! There have been a lot of flu cases recently, so I'm using vinegar to disinfect. If you open the door, it'll all float out."

Tuo Yi was amused and exasperated: "Hey, the concentration of acetic acid in the air is too low to kill any germs. It's useless!"

His wife was doubtful: "Really?"

"Really, stop using it. Look, the baby is crying so much. Quickly open the windows to ventilate the room."

"Okay..."

Tuo Yi laughed: "Wash your hands often and keep them clean. Don't go to crowded places if you don't have to. If you're worried, I'll buy a bottle of disinfectant spray tomorrow. By the way, the apartment I cleaned today was disgusting. Guess what?…"

After the smell of vinegar was blown away, the air in the house finally improved, and Tuo Yi was able to sit in front of his computer in peace.

《Civilization》, download!

The screen went black.

The camera slowly moved down, revealing a bright full moon under a dark sky. The moon cast a long shadow on the quietly surging sea.

Two iron candlesticks hung from the cabin window, swaying slightly with the rocking waves. The yellow flames of the candles flickered gently in the sea breeze, and the background music was as soft and faint as the moonlight.

A middle-aged man with a thick beard and bushy eyebrows held a pen made of hardwood, dipped it in the ink in a wooden tube, and used a straight iron ruler as an aid to draw on a nautical chart.

With a "creak," the wooden door of the cabin was pushed open, and a woman in plain white clothes entered. She had a long braid over her shoulder, her eyes were gentle, and she walked softly to the man's side: "Are you drawing a new route again?"

The man looked serious, his voice gentle yet firm: "The tides of history are constantly changing. If we want to reach the end of our journey, we must constantly adapt and move forward courageously."

"Then how will we know if we have arrived?"

The man looked into the woman's eyes, raised his eyebrows, and smiled without saying a word. A blazing flame burned across the left side of the screen, and the background of the cabin behind the man also changed. The window with the silver moonlight became a sea surface rippling under a magnificent sunset, with several sailing ships sailing on the horizon.

The man turned his head along with the flames, looking straight ahead. The camera zoomed out, revealing that the flame was coming from the torch in his hand.

The background music suddenly became grand and magnificent, and Tuo Yi couldn't help but get goosebumps: "This transition is amazing!"

A seagull flapped its wings and flew past behind the man. He was actually walking on the arm of a bronze giant!

As the seagulls circled, the full view of the bronze giant gradually appeared. His face was calm and wise, holding a bowl in one hand and a long spear in the other. In the distance behind him, one could see a magnificent castle on a hillside, and at his feet was a prosperous port where many large ships were docked. Compared to this giant, humans looked incredibly small, and the contrast gave a strong sense of shock.

Tuo Yi's scalp tingled a little: "This... this seems to be the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?"

He had heard of this giant statue. It was said that in ancient times, someone invaded the country of the Rhodians. The Rhodians fought bravely, and after defeating the invaders, to commemorate the victory of the defense, they melted 12.5 tons of captured bronze weapons and spent 12 years building the 36.5-meter-high Colossus of Helios as a lighthouse.

Unfortunately, this statue stood for only a little over a hundred years before collapsing in an earthquake.

It is said that the later Statue of Liberty was inspired by the Colossus.

The man at the wrist of the standing bronze giant slowly brought the torch in his hand into contact with the black liquid in the bowl, and the flame spread out instantly from one point, burning fiercely.

The burning flames dissipated, and this time the background was the Great Wall under the night. The man became a merchant dressed in red, and camels loaded with goods snorted and walked steadily into the city.

The camera rotated around the man, and one could see that festive red lanterns had been hung under the eaves of the city gate, as if it were going to be the New Year.

Passersby wore antique clothes with belts around their waists, and many vendors were hawking and selling on both sides of the city gate. The noisy cries of "Hey, come and take a look!" rose and fell, making it extremely lively.

The man was waving to signal the people behind him to follow when he suddenly heard a "crackling" sound. Something flashed brightly, and he and the passersby all looked up to the sky. They saw fireworks blooming overhead, colorful and brilliant.

"Civilization..." Tuo Yi savored the word, feeling an incredibly profound aura!

In the crisp sound of "Pa, pa," the scene naturally transitioned to a battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke. This was a snowy forest, and after the bullets of the musket were fired, the heat wave drew a striking white smoke in the air.

Warhorses neighed, and a knight with feathers all over his back and a spear in his hand charged on the battlefield against the flying snow.

"Ah!!!"

The camera gave a close-up of the man's face. He raised his spear and roared loudly, and the soldiers behind him also shouted loudly and charged!

Hooves galloped, shells roared, and bursts of snowflakes splashed...

The snowflakes dissipated, and the propeller whirred. A man lay on a simple "airplane," took a deep breath, and pulled the wrench. The plane immediately slid on the lawn, and the speed continued to increase...

The background music of an eaglet taking off, coupled with this scene, couldn't help but make people imagine the scene of a pioneer in history taking to the blue sky for the first time.

Tuo Yi didn't know why, but he felt a little like crying.

Humanity is so great!

It is in this way, advancing hesitantly between savagery and civilization.
