Dongcheng is quite a big city, and Xu Zhi and the girl wandered around for a while. He went to the mall and got a washing machine, a microwave, a refrigerator, and a bunch of other things, planning to modernize the old house. The mall owner naturally smiled from ear to ear. Nowadays, most people buy things online, and it's rare to have a wealthy customer like Xu Zhi who visits physical stores, so the owner immediately offered to deliver the goods to the countryside.
In fact, Xu Zhi wasn't inclined to buy home appliances online. After all, their performance was mostly the same. He was mainly concerned with the appearance of the furniture and the actual combination of how to arrange a cleaner living environment.
Next, Xu Zhi went with Chen Xi to some stores and got some instruments and equipment, such as high-pressure water guns, electric saws, and sprinklers to improve the farming tools. After all, these were necessary tools for creators!
"Pack everything up and send it to the farm for free," said the owner, facing such a wealthy customer. Xu Zhi had already spent seven to eight thousand yuan in scattered equipment, but he still had 110,000 yuan in savings. He didn't want to save anything in the short term, nor did he want to think too much about it. If he had money, he would spend it. After all, he had the financial ability to do so.
On the way back, Xu Zhi rode an electric bike in front, with Chen Xi sitting behind him. She couldn't help but touch Xu Zhi's thick hair and suddenly pulled out a strand with force, causing Xu Zhi to feel pain and tears almost came out of his eyes. He grimaced and said, "What are you doing? So clumsy."
Chen Xi was also very surprised and threw away the pulled-out hair. She was shocked, "What a solid hair! It took me so long to pull it out! Hey! What have you been through? What have you been through, hey!"
Xu Zhi had a headache. Why was she so fixated on his hair? Can't he grow hair if he wants to? He looked at her helplessly and painfully said, "I've told you, it's chemotherapy, chemotherapy! It's the after-effects of chemotherapy. I've recovered now, and I'm not naturally bald."
"Really?" Chen Xi widened her eyes.
"Yes, really," Xu Zhi said seriously.
"That's too exaggerated," Chen Xi was shocked on the spot. After all, they had been delivering food for several days. From the look of it, he didn't seem to be on the brink of death. Did he really change like this just by recovering and exercising his body?
She felt that something was not quite right. "You're being paranoid, I'm too lazy to deal with you," Xu Zhi said, riding a cool electric bike with a stunned Chen Xi behind him. They rode on the dirt road in the countryside, occasionally passing cow dung on the ground. After all, the bike was not his. On both sides were neatly arranged farmland, and aunties and grandmas greeted them warmly from time to time.
"Hey, Xiaozhi and Yatou just arrived in town!" "You young people should go out more often and explore." "Our village is aging, with those who study studying and those who work working. Now, only you two young people are left!" "Hello, Aunt Li and Uncle Zhang." Xu Zhi responded with a smile. "I'm taking Chen Xi out to buy some daily necessities." Warm sunshine poured down. It was already past six o'clock, and the sky could faintly see stars. Unlike the heavily polluted cities, the starry sky here in the countryside was exceptionally clear. Even in that miniature sandbox, during the fifty years of darkness, one could still see the brilliant and numerous stars and the round moon, understanding the vastness and infinite possibilities of the universe. "How small is our world? For them, the long period of over two hundred years, experiencing five or six generations of life and death, has only been two days for me, just a trip outside to buy something...." Xu Zhi smiled, bid farewell to Chen Xi, and returned to the courtyard to look at the sandbox. Just then, he learned from the Nest's Vice Brain that Gilgamesh was going to die soon. "It's probably tonight, even within half an hour," said the Nest's Vice Brain. "So soon? There's no sense of reality at all." In the orchard courtyard, Xu Zhi was stunned. He was silently peeling an orange with a small knife, and a complete orange peel ribbon dropped out, loop after loop. Suddenly, the knife shook. It broke. "What a pity it didn't get peeled successfully." Xu Zhi scratched his head, thought for a moment, and stood up. That tiny insect ape from back then, who had managed to come this far and write an epic of life, was truly admirable. He had only given him some tools; it was not possible for anyone to give a lever of civilization and move the entire history, becoming a great person. Undoubtedly, Gilgamesh was an outstanding king, despite his many flaws and brutality. The insect ape race he had created back then, called the "Baldies" Baldies", eventually multiplied. "Forget it, since he wants to see me, I'll go see him. I can't change his lifespan, but it's still good to see an old friend, and I also have to stop this race. I didn't expect that in just a few days, they would destroy countless ecologies and extinct many species. They conquer, wage war, kill, and show no mercy to the ecology. At this rate, I estimate that the sandbox will collapse soon, with countless species extinct, leaving only them behind. I must persuade them to exercise restraint." Xu Zhi stood up, put down the orange, and realized that it had only been a short while. It wouldn't be too late to eat it later. "Slow down their time flow rate and restore it to normal."
If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
After finishing speaking, Xu Zhi slowly stepped into the sand table wearing blue laboratory shoe covers.
Step, step, step.
The ground was slightly shaking, mountains, rivers, earth, and oceans.
Trees were trampled, huge footprints were left in the valleys, and countless beasts in the dense forest were running madly.
"This is..."
"The city, is it about to collapse?"
Gradually, the entire Uruk Royal City seemed to be trembling slightly, and the city walls, houses, ground, streets, and the pedestrians like ants all had slightly terrified expressions.
Gilgamesh led the ministers and knelt on the ground. Suddenly, he felt something. This great hero king, with an aging face, showed a childlike joy for the first time, "After two hundred years, the great wise beast that I saw in my childhood, the one that gave me the three treasures of civilization, has finally returned..."
The ground was shaking, and the whole Uruk city was jumping slightly.
This round and towering city, which accommodated tens of millions of people, was just a slightly larger disc than a dining table in Xu Zhi's eyes.
After all, it was a city of ant-sized creatures, and it was already extremely magnificent.
Exquisite beyond compare, every detail was meticulously crafted, exquisite and luxurious, and every detail reached the microscopic scale of ants. What kind of beauty was this?
It was like the most perfect fortress in the world.
Although this giant city was not very strong, their civilization was still too primitive. They didn't know how to build a part of the city wall's pillar into the foundation buried deep in the mud, causing it to tremble slightly when Xu Zhi stepped on it.
"This is also related to their inability to use cement. The simple jointing of stones results in low stability." Xu Zhi walked towards the royal city with big steps. Pieces of green trees were trampled underfoot, and he finally arrived at the ancient Nordic city that had already possessed civilization.
He surveyed the exquisite altars and temples in the city.
The old hero king with a snow-white body and a handsome and aged face was looking up at himself, holding the sword of Damocles and shedding crystal tears.
