Chapter 4 Ellie will always support you!
Apart from those commuting to work, there are not many pedestrians on the road. All the entertainment needs of modern people can be completed through the game world. Except for a few nostalgic old men and grandmas who come out to walk around, the rest are sanitation robots.
The sanitation robot exists in every corner of Xindu. It looks like a green cylinder. The two mechanical arms are brooms and garbage shovels. They can rotate to various angles. The driving method is also mechanical tracks. The head is glowing red. When falling leaves and garbage are detected, they will pick them up and eat them into their stomachs.
Ellie parked the flying motorcycle and pulled Xu Zhou, who was curiously looking at the sanitation robot, into the super-large shopping mall in front of her.
Most modern people’s shopping is completed online, and after placing an order, logistics robots will be delivered to their homes. The shopping process has been very complete.
But offline shopping has not been completely banned. It has its own unique charm unless humans never go out again, but this is obviously impossible.
However, in this era, individual small merchants no longer exist. Such super-large shopping malls with comprehensive functions are the mainstream of offline commodity economy, and there is only one in Xindu.
Ellie held Xu Zhou's arm, like an excited little butterfly, wandering around curiously.
"Xu Zhou, what are we going to buy?"
"Didn't you say you want to buy something?"
"But I don't know what to buy," said Ally. "I like to buy things because I'm a girl, so I should like to buy things. Although I don't know what to buy, I'll be happy to buy something casually."
Listening to Ellie's full explanation of the reason, Xu Zhou could not refute it.
It makes sense.
So Ali took Xu Zhou to the clothing store. The shopping guide is a beautiful intelligent robot who can scan Xu Zhou's physical appearance data and automatically analyze his most suitable clothing matching.
"Sir, how do you think of this one?"
The beautiful shopping guide with a professional dress flashed his eyes, and another "Xu Zhou" appeared in front of Xu Zhou. This was a holographic projection, and he had already changed his new clothes to "Xu Zhou". He could see the effect of dressing without trying on the fittings.
"Good looking good!"
Ellie nodded repeatedly, and Xu Zhou also looked at her, she was still quite handsome.
The aesthetic changes have not been much. The handsome guys and beauties in the past are also handsome guys and beauties now, but people have higher requirements for personality. Unlike in 2020, beautiful guys all looked the same.
After buying the clothes, Ellie held Xu Zhou and wanted to buy food.
The famine problem that has plagued mankind for many years has long been solved, and the food is rich and diverse, but the cooking technology has gradually been abandoned.
Every household has a smart kitchen. Just put the ingredients in and you can automatically cook and produce dishes.
As for the taste, it does not taste bad without fireworks, but it is not much delicious.
It is said that human development is because of laziness. Today's human beings are inseparable from various intelligent robots.
Of course, there are excellent chefs, who work in major high-end restaurants and have a high salary level. Xu Zhou thought that if he couldn't become a scriptwriter in the game world, he seemed to be a chef. After all, his egg fried rice was still very good.
"Xu Zhou, will we have steak tonight?"
Ellie pointed to a piece of beef and asked, "This piece is natural beef, which is quite expensive and has cheap beef, which is artificial beef cultivated from cells."
"Have you ever eaten stewed mushrooms with chicken?" Xu Zhou asked.
Ellie shook her head and said, "It seems that there is no such dish in our kitchen."
"Then I'll make it for you to taste."
Xu Zhou rubbed his hands and skillfully selected some good quality chicken and mushrooms, and asked the shopping guide robot to send him various seasonings.
"You can still cook! Why don't I know!"
Ellie was surprised. This was a very amazing skill!
"Well, I went to school in 'Earth'."
Xu Zhou smiled and said, "Does our family have a pot?"
"Yes... But can you really eat the rice you cook?" Aili said suspiciously.
"Um?"
"I mean, Ellie will always support you!!"
After buying the goods, Xu Zhou and Aili went straight out of the mall and did not pay, but in a while, a reminder came from the bracelet: "China Bank reminds you that you will spend 895 star coins in Xindu Shopping Center this time, with a balance of 15226048.31 star coins."
Well, Xu Zhou is a millionaire, and one-star coin is probably equivalent to one dollar in the past, a global unified currency.
Although I have money, I still have to work. If I don’t have a job, the house will be recycled.
Because the property rights of the house belong to the federal government, no matter how rich you have, you can't buy a house in Xindu. If you want to obtain the right to live, you must make some contribution to society. Otherwise, everyone will be addicted to games in the virtual world and society will be in chaos.
Of course, life on the other side of the earth is also very good and suitable for elderly care. For young people, new capital is the place in their dreams.
Xu Zhou thought about when to go to the earth to see it. Judging from the pictures in his memory, the earth is now generally covered by forests and oceans, and has been banned from construction and expansion. In the planning for the next fifty years, the sky is the direction of human development.
There are nearly 50 million people living in Xindu, and there are still many office workers living in the land. It is five o'clock in the afternoon, which is just off work time.
On the way home, Xu Zhou saw many office workers wearing professional uniforms riding shared motorcycles and rushing to Xindu Tunnel to take a transit train back to the earth.
There is a circle of invisible energy around Xindu that protects the city and provides stable atmospheric pressure and temperature. It is not allowed to fly out of Xindu directly. You must take a passing train to get off the earth.
Modern people are under a lot of work pressure. Calculate their performance based on work points. Working five hours a day and working hard can basically achieve today's points requirements, otherwise you have to work overtime.
Most basic work was replaced by artificial intelligence, and the elimination occurred fifty years ago. Unemployment was extremely serious at that time. Today, it has basically stabilized, but it is difficult to lose work. After all, the jobs that can be held by humans must be difficult to replace.
Xu Zhou likes to observe life. When he was fine in the past, he liked to sit in the park, look at the expressions of pedestrians, and use this to deduce stories one by one, and enjoy it.
Although he didn't write a single word today, Xu Zhou was not panicked at all, and he called it looking for inspiration.
"Oh, Xu Zhou, don't hold me so tightly, you can't breathe anymore!"
Ellie angrily and got home.
The floor-to-ceiling window opened to both sides, and the small motorcycle landed steadily. The two got out of the car, opened the seat cover, and took out the things they had bought.
"Ride on my beloved little motorcycle~ It will never get stuck in traffic~ Humph~~"
Ellie hummed a song and raised the chick and mushroom in her hand again, "Xu Zhou, how do you do this?"
Xu Zhou took out a piece of ginger from the bag and threw it to Ellie.
"You start with ginger plowing!"
