Lan Mengqi is a boundary transgressor, or to put it more simply, a time traveler from another world.

From the modern technological world that has entered the fourth technological revolution, we fell into a sudden space crack and jumped into a strange world where oil lamps, carriages, gods, and online live broadcasts coexisted.

The living environment has jumped over a thousand years, and everything we see has changed beyond recognition.

The strange and otherworldly scenery makes the female college students who are accustomed to the modern life of surfing the Internet and shopping feel a little confused.

In her time, time-travel novels were actually quite popular.

A girl/boy who combines the knowledge of the advanced world travels through ancient times/different worlds, uses the advanced knowledge/talent to kill, and then X and so on.

Although the routine is cliché, it is simple and crude enough to be refreshing, and the routine is easy enough to mass-produce. If you just modify a street from a comic book, it will become an industry chain.

Meng Qi, a sophomore in college, has not yet considered employment. While watching dramas, she has read many popular novels that have been lightly adapted from the original works.

At the beginning of the time travel, for a moment, she even had her own moment, the confidence that she could become the protagonist of the legendary story by relying on the difference in knowledge between the two lives.

Well, if she hadn't been caught immediately by the boundary-crossing management agency, commonly known as the Space-Time Administration

"Brother, if you catch the time traveler, you won't really slice it into slices, right?"

While trying his best to blink his big eyes to make himself look cuter.

After being taken to a small dark room, Lan, who was full of fear, was like a rabbit whose ears were caught.

But sitting at the other end of the table, a young black-haired official from the Space-Time Administration, looked at her with subtle eyes.

"It seems that you come from a technological civilization. This is their most common doubt. I have encountered it three times this month. According to the training manual of the authority, I will give you the most effective standard answer."

After a pause, the young man actually took out a booklet from the drawer, turned to the bookmark, and read aloud.

"The average number of cross-border incidents in Qianshi City in the past ten years is 37,281, and there are 3,121 cross-border people per year. The cumulative cross-border population exceeds 1.2 million, accounting for more than 7% of the total population. We just want to dissect it, and there is not enough time.

There are not enough professionals.”

Talk, talk, laugh out loud.

"Is it worth it to dissect you? Can the few parts obtained after the dissection afford the doctor's overtime pay? Even if the organs are sold, no one will be able to use them."

Such an answer frightened Lan Lan Mengqi.

Tomorrow your world will be turned into a plug, so will my scientific and technological knowledge still be of use? Isn’t this a legendary story that belongs to me?

"Let's sit down and talk. Some time ago, our department received a complaint. It was said that a group of people were sitting in the office while a worker was standing alone. They complained that our corporal punishment was inhumane."

"oh."

Lan Mengqi looked at the chairs by the wall, a little strange.

"Why are there recliners? Or three?"

"Isn't this another complaint to a human rights organization that we are inhumane? It's already stressful to have a closed environment, and there are a bunch of people standing staring at those who are sitting. It makes the office look like a collective trial, so we just change the chairs.

A lounge chair.”

Lan Mengqi's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch, which seemed to be a bit out of rhythm.

She found a reclining chair in the middle, and just when she lay down, the staff member opposite shouted again.

"Don't lie down, don't lie down. The Discipline Inspection Office just talked to us some time ago and said that someone complained that lying down to do things is too unserious and damages the image of Qianshi City civil servants."

"Then what should I do?! I can't stand, sit or lie down?!"

"Half-sitting or half-sitting on a recliner is enough. Sitting on the front third of the seat, with the front half hanging in the air, and lying down against the Queen Mother is not dignified and will be complained by the inspectors."

The office clerk who said this looked serious. He was really not kidding. He was already frightened by the complaints.

"I'd better stand. Standing against the wall doesn't count as corporal punishment."

"Okay, just wait a moment and you sign a letter of commitment stating that you need to stand up to do things. Don't look at me like that. We don't want to. Aren't you afraid of being reported? Your salary will be deducted, young lady."

"Pfft, it's not easy for you either."

The little farce made Lan Mengqi laugh and cry. At the same time, her uneasy mood calmed down a lot.

Lan Mengqi also smiled for the first time since time travel when she saw a recliner dragged over there. The standard black-haired clerk sitting in the front third was smiling and writing in a notebook.

It seems that, contrary to expectations, this is a more civilized and equal era? The world is not too bad? At least, it sounds very orderly, although the order seems to be pedantic.

The young clerk also smiled, and the work could enter the next stage.

Perhaps, the current relaxed communication atmosphere is what they want to achieve.

"Okay, as usual, in addition to telling you that such boundary violators are not too special. We are very experienced in dealing with them and will protect your basic human rights as an intelligent creature. Next, we will tell you that our

situation, it also affects your future life.”

Mercury is the sixth planet in the solar system named because more than 70% of its surface is covered by ocean.

It was originally just a gathering place for the human species known as the terrifying upright ape, but it was an ordinary technological planet that couldn't be more ordinary.

But after an event called the "Big Collision", the entire world line deviated.

"It is now the year 372 of the New Calendar. The specific time of the big collision cannot be calculated. It was at least a thousand years ago. It seems that scientists from a certain country messed up when they were doing the 'observer' effect. Oh, your world's physics level has also reached

At that level? That’s easy to explain.”

"The microscopic world is the theoretical cornerstone leading to the macroscopic universe. The continental-scale large particle collider has broken through the theoretical limits of microscopic particles and verified the observer effect of 'observation is reality' in an ultramicroscopic environment."

"Maybe you call it something else, but what we call the quantum mechanical observer effect simply means that the observation of a conscious body can have a significant impact on the conditions of the material world, that is, consciousness can participate in the formation of the material world."

"What I see and think is reality. Personal will directly rewrites reality. Isn't it very similar to the power of gods? Haha, yes, it is the realm of gods. It's ridiculous. The top of scientific and technological civilization has turned into theology.

.”

"The large particle collision test succeeded, although we would rather it failed. In the moment when physics reaches the realm of gods, our civilization also reaches the realm of gods in an instant, announcing our existence to the multiverse and their 'observers'.

"

"The result is that observers will also be observed. We have become competitors in the eyes of the gods, and we are still the weakest and weakest. So they really came and slapped us down. The technology to reach the realm of gods

All the trees were destroyed, and what happened next caused the entire population of Mercury to drop by 90%."

"In modern times, some researchers have said that it was not they who came but us who passed by and arrived at the arena of gods and civilizations. But there is no point in dwelling on these. The barriers of the world have become fragments, and we do not have enough weight."

Observer' to maintain the stability of the physical world"

"Today, the dimensional barriers of the entire world are still fragile. Our world is directly connected to at least three large worlds. There are too many time-traveling incidents to count. Just dealing with various illegal time-traveling beasts is very dangerous. You are so helpless

Harming time-travelers is a daily occurrence for us, and no one will slice you up, so don’t worry now.”

"Still don't understand? Well, it's an irrelevant background anyway. It's okay if you don't understand. The point is that in this era, the space barrier is as thin as paper. It is quite common to arrive in another world and become a transgressor, but it is extremely difficult to go back.

"

"If you can't return, how are you going to survive in our world? Do you have any special skills and are you inclined to find a job? Your past degrees and certificates have become meaningless. In order to prevent you from becoming a new factor of social instability, we need to

It is also my job to provide you with reemployment support."

Under the introduction of the enthusiastic management office worker, Lan Mengqi finally had an understanding of her situation.

This is a civilization that has re-emerged after the end of the world, and because the entire world space is unstable, "travel" events are frequent, and the security is relatively low.

Humanity's adaptability is amazing. Although the original technology tree has suffered a devastating blow, the new era still has new era technologies. They still find a way to relatively stabilize the space order, but they must also face the challenges of any new technology.

right question

Cost and efficiency!

The cost of each stable area is extremely high and cannot be easily mass-produced. Naturally, the lifestyle of large-scale population gathering places with the stable point as the core has become the main choice. Fifty-three super large cities have concentrated more than 60% of the population.

.

The Qianshi City described by the administrator is only a hundred years old and is considered an emerging quasi-first-tier city.

The total area of ​​the city is about 70,000 square kilometers. It is said that one city is closer to one province and it is a super large city composed of six super giant ring areas.

The total population is more than 40 million (census three years ago). The closer you are to the center, the more stable and safe the space will be, the better the living conditions will be, and the better the employment situation will be.

The reason? It seems that there is no need to explain. It is an old tradition of the intelligent life group. The house prices in the first ring road are sky-high and you cannot afford it. You will not even dare to live in a house in the sixth ring road.

In fact, when you reach the 5th and 6th Ring Road, there are basically no urban areas in the modern sense. The 5th Ring Road alone is several times larger than the previous four rings combined, and most of it is undeveloped wild land.

But this does not mean that the outer ring is unimportant.

The small and medium-sized fortress towns in the outer ring are both resource acquisition points and first-line processing plants, and are the main artery of the entire Shiqian City.

For ordinary residents in the outer ring, regardless of living comfort, the wages provided are quite high.

"Considering that you don't have any life skills and can't read words, working as a general worker in the outer ring will make money quickly and help you integrate into society. If you are willing to work as a factory girl in the Sixth District, I can write you a letter of introduction now.

The train can arrive at the factory at five o'clock in the evening, and we can still catch the payday on the 28th of this month."

The staff member smiled like a successful black agent, as if the red envelope of the factory's introduction fee was already placed in front of him.

Want to be a factory girl? Lan Mengqi was a little hesitant. It wasn't that she couldn't endure hardship, but she just couldn't believe it.

This staff member is the first person from another world I have met. Although the other person's words are nice, who knows how many tricks there are.

In a completely unfamiliar environment, it is too reckless to make decisions based on just one person's words, let alone make important decisions related to the future.

Moreover, this person is too scary!

The gills under the ears and the shark teeth exposed when he smiles. When he smiles, he seems to say "You look delicious." Can this be considered a human being?! Can he also be a receptionist?
