Nightmare wake up

Chapter 134 Make friends
The Hesse sneered a few times, and was not in a hurry to kick off. He deliberately delayed his time to explain his "national pride":
"The land in the southern province is fertile, full of rivers, and rich in reserves of various ores;"

"Hesse has a large population, and the age structure is young, unlike other provinces in the Federation..."

"The Hesse have a long history dating back to the age of immortality;"

"The Hesse also have a rich, diverse culture, especially...we don't just believe in the Iron God;"

"It won't take long, maybe five years, maybe ten years, around 1120 in the unified era, the southern province will definitely become a super province of the federation;"

"You people, you can only stick to the Hesse's feet in the end."

The words of the Hesse immediately aroused boos from everyone present...

Unpredictable knows what they are talking about... On the continent of Rodinia, whether it is Tang people, Europa people, Dongsi people, or Hesse people, they are actually in a mixed state. provinces, with the exception of the southern provinces.

Because the race in the southern provinces is relatively single, and the Hesse people account for the vast majority... As for the reason for this situation, it is unpredictable and not very clear. I just guess that the Hesse people have darker skin, which is more suitable for the hot weather in the southern provinces— —

Dark skin can produce more melanin, which can effectively resist strong sunlight... This is the description in high school biology textbooks.

However, the economy of the southern province is very backward. It is said that it was just a wasteland at the beginning of the unified era. Later, after a large number of Hesse people flowed into the southern province, this wasteland was gradually developed... This is also because the level of technology has developed rapidly since the unified era. The mainland has gradually entered the era of industrialization, the population explosion of the Ironmen, etc... These are all historical contents described in university textbooks, and Mo Ke can learn from the memory of the original owner.

However, on the mainland of Rodinia, the Hesse are generally not liked by others. As for the reason for this prejudice, it may be because the economy of the southern provinces is backward. Except for the sparsely populated northern provinces, which are economically underdeveloped, The southern provinces are far poorer than other provinces, and are generally dominated by agriculture, and the Hesse people generally have a low level of education.

Because of poverty and lack of educational resources, the Hesse people gathered in the southern provinces are like uncivilized people, retaining many incomprehensible wonderful cultures or customs... For example, advocating various livestock, most of the Hesse people will cattle It is regarded as a sacred object, and even retains the custom of drinking cow urine. Another example is the admiration of the longest river in the mainland, the "Blue River". During festivals at the end of the year, the Hesse people will jump into the river, bathe with men and women, and even...

——This custom has been criticized countless times by the federal official media as "can't bear to look directly"...

Another reason for discrimination also stems from the fact that the Hesse generally engage in relatively low-end labor, such as coolies, nannies, servants, etc...

Of course, the Hesse people in the southern provinces rose up against this kind of discrimination, which made them extremely "proud". For example, they always tried to prove that the Hesse people were the best race from all angles; for example, the Hesse people The gathered southern provinces are the future "super provinces" of the federation and the future of the entire continent...Of course, these crappy proofs are vulnerable to the backwardness of the southern provinces, and the logic of the proofs is often full of loopholes, which are often used in turn. Slap in the face.

However, since the Hesse occupy such a vast and fertile land in the southern province, they will naturally not be willing to be at the bottom of the chain of contempt. This has led to the southern provincial government controlled by the Hesse attempting to be independent and self-governing, and to draw a line with the federal government , so that the contradictions continue... The essence of the current arms case also comes from this-independence can only be achieved by force, which requires a large number of weapons.

Unpredictable quickly sorted out the information in his mind, contacting the various realities he knew, feeling suddenly enlightened.

It's just that after trying to understand some things, I inadvertently contacted more clues and raised more questions.

Several races in this world are basically the same as the ones we know on Earth, and can find matching shadows from the memories of the previous life... But this is definitely not Earth!
At least, Mo Ke never knew that there was a continent called Rodinia on the earth, and according to the measurement of the Federal Academy of Natural Sciences, the area of ​​the continent is very vast, enough to be comparable to the land on the earth... It is absolutely impossible to be a new continent that has not been discovered on the earth .

Moreover, there is no moon in this world, which is also one of the evidences that "this is not the earth".

Thinking of this, there is another unreasonable thing. There is no moon here, but there is a concept of month, which is completely contrary to logic... The concept of time in the month comes from the orbiting motion of satellites. Without satellites, where does the word "month" come from? What about the concept of time?

Where do eggs come from without chickens?

If you have never been a daughter-in-law, how can you become a mother-in-law?

Not only that, although there is no moon, the Chinese commonly used by Ironmen has the word "moon", but many people don't understand the meaning of the word "moon", just like those rare words in ancient Chinese...

What is even more frightening to think about is...Although it is determined that this place is not the earth, this continent has the same ecosystem as the earth... All kinds of animals and plants are exactly the same as on the earth.

This doesn't make sense at all... It can only be explained by the "parallel universe" in the novel. After all, even the group crossing event has appeared, and the parallel universe is not so unacceptable...

Can't figure it out, can't figure it out... Mo Ke thought wildly for a while, but had to stop thinking, because the onlookers found him approaching, and all looked at him, including the Hesse man, who also nodded.

Most of these gazes are filled with awe...

Although Brother Pence has been dismissed, he still has some prestige. After all, the Director of Public Security is one of the most powerful positions in a city... Mo Ke understood, smiled and nodded to the strangers he didn't know. Sit casually on the chair next to you and watch the game with peace of mind...
The reason why I came to observe was not because of anything else, but because I noticed the fluctuation of the talisman on the Hesse.

He is the contractor!
This didn't feel very surprising, because I met this person at the entrustment office just now, and the person doing business at the entrustment office is of course the most likely to buy and sell origin stones.

Director Yan, who had just been ridiculed, was interrupted by the sudden arrival of the "former Director of Public Security".

"Hesse people... the southern province... hehe..."

"You Hesse are just a bunch of ignorant poor ghosts. Could it be that your funny wooden sticks are like machine guns and artillery that defeat us?"

"All you can do is to disgust us to death with cow urine... Oh, yes, there is another way, you can let the Hesse woman lazy us to death on the bed... Hahaha..."

The taste of provocation is very strong... The last sentence of "the woman of Hesse" caused the people around to burst into laughter.

The Hesse was not angry, and seemed to be used to such disputes and humiliation, and shook his head with a smile:

"In short, you lost this round, and you lost to a Hesse."

"Who is stupid, the result has already explained everything!"

"You..." Director Yan was immediately suffocated and speechless, the game in front of him was undoubtedly lost.

"Hehe..." The Hesse laughed dryly: "Look at it!"

After finishing speaking, he possessed himself and continued to hit the ball, calmly sending the black ball into the bottom pocket...

Overscored!
It seemed that he felt that the victory was not complete, so he hit the ball continuously, and after hitting the remaining red balls on the table, he inserted the cue stick into the bracket next to him, and stretched out his hand to Director Yan .

"This round is ten gold dollars."

Director Yan felt unwilling, but had no choice but to take out two hardware dollar bills and hand them over.

The Hesse took the gold thread banknotes and smiled:
"Does Director Yan not want to win back? Are you willing to lose to the Hesse? If not, let's continue."

"It's still a bet of ten gold dollars per game!"

This is a retaliation for provocation...

The people who can be here are all distinguished guests of Xinglong Villa. It seems that these people often gamble by playing billiards... The position of director can be regarded as the head of a certain department in Requan City, and the amount of ten gold dollars is not considered to him A lot, but not a lot. After this round, Director Yan has already understood that he is not the opponent of the Hesse in front of him.

Go on playing, just send money to the other party.

Losing is not reconciled, but fighting can't beat...

Director Yan's face was flushed, and he gritted his teeth and said firmly: "I'm not going to play anymore, it's boring! What's the point of beating you, a Hesse monkey?"

The Hesse smiled indifferently, and made a gesture of spreading his hands to the crowd, which again aroused boos from the audience.

Seeing that no one came up to play, Director Yan shook his head and left. Seeing no one left, the onlookers also dispersed.

... Mi Ke couldn't help frowning.

After noticing the fluctuation of the talisman, he originally thought that the Hesse was using his contract ability, and wanted to see what the Hesse's contract ability was, and whether he used it on billiards... Unfortunately, he only saw the Hesse's contract ability. I played a few balls in the innings, and I didn't see any clues at all.

With nothing to ask for, Mo Ke was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by the Hesse man who had already put the banknotes in his arms:

"Mr. Rodman, please stay."

He turned around, only to find that the Hesse held out a hand and said politely:
"My name is Tweedy."

Mo Ke took a second to confirm that Pence should not know this person, otherwise the other party would not need to introduce himself by name, so he was relieved and extended his hand in the same friendly way:

"Pence Rodman, but... I think you already know my name."

"Haha..." Tiwidi was immediately amused by the "humour". He had just called Mr. Rodman to stop... Pointing to the seat next to him: "Let's sit down and talk."

Mo Ke wondered why the other party would suddenly stop him from chatting, but after thinking about it, there was no danger, so he followed suit.

Tiwidi handed over a thick cigar, and introduced it seriously:
"Nothing else, I would like to invite you to taste the special cigars of the southern province."

Seeing that Mo Ke was stunned for a moment, Tiwidi smiled: "Forgive my presumptuousness, the guests in the entire VIP area know that Mr. Rodman loves cigars, so I would like to invite you to taste..."

Oh, I see!Mi Ke took the cigar, and smiled wryly in his heart. I just smoked a cigar to imitate Brother Burns...

However, there was no room for refusal. On the one hand, Tiwidi had already lit the lighter and personally lit a cigarette for Mi Ji.

Unpredictably ignited it, took a deep breath, and the strong tobacco smell unique to the southern province spread in the lungs...

Enduring the choking smell of smoke, Mi Ke pretended to be an "old smoker", closed his eyes and felt it, and smiled at the Hesse Tiwidi:
"It tastes good, and it tastes like a southern province."

"Of course..." Tweedy is very paranoid and proud of the Hesse. Hearing Mi Ke's praise of his hometown, he was a little excited, and said with a curry tone with a smile:

"Mr. Rodman is indeed a friend of the Hesse!"

"Let me just say, you will definitely like tobacco in the southern provinces. The southern plains are very suitable for tobacco cultivation, and the tobacco leaves grow very well...Cigars made with high-quality tobacco leaves have a mellow taste..."

"We Hesse people also have a unique secret recipe. If cigars want to taste authentic, they must be soaked in holy water..."

Cough~cough~cough~ Mo Ke shook his hand, the cigar almost fell to the ground, and then coughed violently...

He knows what "holy water" is in the southern province...Forcibly keeping his expression out of shape, Mi Ke bit his back molars and asked slowly:
"Mr. Tweedy, has holy water been used on this cigar?"

"Of course not..." Tiwedi spread his hands and said regretfully, "In Shouyang Province, how could it be possible to enjoy southern specialty tobacco soaked in holy water."

Well... I really forgive you! Mo Ke took another sip of the cigar, feeling that the spiciness was unbearable, so he had to snuff out the cigarette, and looked at the Hesse:

"You...not just for me to taste tobacco."

If you don't do anything, you can either rape or steal... This is an eternal truth.

"Hahaha..." Tiwidi laughed suddenly:

"As I said a long time ago, Mr. Rodman is a friend of the Hesse."

The phrase "friend" was repeated again, causing Mo Ke's heart to move suddenly... This person "struck up" with him must have a conspiracy.

The Hesse was unhurried, and pointed to the half-pigmented cigar: "I am a tobacco merchant in the southern province, and I want to cooperate with you in the tobacco business."

"Tobacco business?" Mi Ke was puzzled.

Tiwedi explained with a smile: "I have a lot of land in the southern province, and the tobacco production is very high. I need someone to help me distribute it. The profit is very considerable."

… Unpredictable looked at Tiwidi suspiciously, as if he was thinking about whether this business was feasible, but suddenly asked:
"Mr. Tiweedy, are you a contractor?"

Tiwidi laughed, stood up directly from his seat, and said:
"As a businessman going to the whole continent, the contractor can protect himself better, can't he?"

"You really have eyesight. You won that game of billiards just now because you used your contract ability."

He didn't hide his identity as a contractor at all... Unpredictable pondered for a moment, then looked at Tiwedi with a smile: "I have no interest in the tobacco business, after all, smoking is harmful to health."

Hearing Unpredictable's refusal, Tiwidi wasn't disappointed at all, as if he had expected it... His eyes lit up obviously, and he said solemnly:
"Even if we can't reach a cooperation, at least we already know each other... I really want to make friends with Mr. Rodman."

"After all, we are all Boss Ai's friends."

Thanks to Nanxiang Chengge for the 500 point reward.

Thanks to crying is sin and TYeee for the monthly pass.

　The world view of this book is still very large. I wrote more than a dozen chapters on A4 paper just for the setting. Later, with the establishment of the chat group for travelers, the plot will gradually lead to the setting of the entire continent.

　　A friend commented on the major bug about the "moon", that is, without the moon, there would be no concept of "month". I don't go to school, but I still have basic common sense. How could I make such a serious mistake?

　　Since there is something that doesn't make sense, it must be the setting and foreshadowing. Later, as the plot unfolds, it will be gradually explained.

　　There will be no inexplicable worlds and time travels without any reason in the old sleeping books. They all have stories and reasons.
　　Have some confidence in me.
