I can find treasures in my dreams.

Dinner time.

Peggy cooked four dishes: three main dishes and one soup.

Three of the dishes are summer dishes, and the other is an Atinna dish.

She had heard that summer meals were very complicated, but after actually making them, she found them to be very simple.

Because they are all pre-packaged meal kits, the main dishes and side dishes are all chopped and washed, and all the ingredients are also prepared. You just need to put them in the pot in the correct order, and even if you are not very good at cooking, it will not taste bad.

However, her boyfriend told her that it wasn't like this a year ago.

Every family in Daxia goes to the Shangtong platform to buy groceries. After returning home, they wash, chop, and cook the vegetables, and it takes quite a while before they can have a meal.

But the emergence of smart food factories has completely transformed the kitchens of every Daxia family.

Peggy watched the video her boyfriend found, and the footage deeply shocked her.

Take carrots as an example.

Once the carrots grown in the indoor farm are ripe, intelligent machines will begin harvesting them.

Each machine has four robotic arms, each equipped with four picking clamps, enabling precise and rapid picking of up to 32 carrots per second.

This new variety of carrot is crisp and sweet, with an average weight of 200 grams per carrot, significantly higher than the varieties produced before the natural disaster era.

The advanced planting technology of indoor farms can ensure that every carrot is of the highest quality, without any inconsistencies in size or quality.

Based on this calculation, a single intelligent harvesting machine can harvest approximately 20 tons of carrots per hour.

This is a speed far beyond human capabilities.

After the harvesting is completed, the intelligent loading and unloading machine will load baskets of carrots onto a truck, which will then be automatically transported to the intelligent food processing workshop by an intelligent transport vehicle.

The carrots are first washed with a high-pressure water gun, then peeled by a robotic arm, and then washed again, completing the pre-treatment process.

If a smart factory produces stir-fried carrots with meat, then a robotic arm will cut the carrots into shreds. The robotic arm in the video moves so fast that you can't see the movements clearly; you can only see the carrot shreds falling like a rainstorm.

The most impressive thing is that this intelligent vegetable cutter can cut any kind of vegetable; you just need to change the blade accordingly.

The shredded carrots are individually packaged, then combined with shredded meat and seasonings to form individual meal kits, which are finally stored in cold storage.

The entire process was controlled by an intelligent AI system, and not a single human employee was seen.

The video also stated that before the era of natural disasters, food was wasted at every step, from the fields to transportation, to the market, and finally to the table of every household, which added up to a considerable amount.

Food technology developed in the post-disaster era has minimized waste while ensuring high quality and health.

The ultra-efficient smart factory and ultra-efficient smart logistics system allow food to go from farm to table in as little as one hour.

Furthermore, the ultra-low cost of smart factories has driven food prices down to the extreme, creating the miracle that "prepared meals are cheaper than buying groceries and cooking yourself."

Therefore, in modern China, clean and convenient ready-made meal kits are now widely available.

After watching the video, Peggy felt that Great Xia was simply a country from the future.

At the time, she couldn't help but say to her boyfriend, "Great Xia is 100 years ahead of Atinna."

As for the remaining Atinna dish, it is a local specialty.

This dish is called "corn chowder". The main ingredients include corn, beans, pumpkin, onions, pork and beef, and sometimes ham is added.

To accommodate her boyfriend's stomach, she did a lot of research online and found a modified cooking method that people in Daxia like.

"Not bad!"

Pei Ming took a sip of the corn chowder, savoring its rich flavor, and immediately gave it a thumbs up.

Peggy's face lit up instantly: "If you like, I'll make it for you again tomorrow."

She glanced at her boyfriend and suddenly asked, "When someone introduced you to three girls from Atinna, why did you choose me?"

She immediately added, "Having big breasts is such a ridiculous reason. I want to hear the real reason."

Bei Ming let out an "uh": "It really is because your breasts are the biggest."

Peggy shook her head: "I don't believe it."

After thinking for a moment, Pei Ming replied, "About ten years ago, I saw a statement online that I personally found very reasonable."

"A woman with large breasts but not obesity usually has high levels of estrogen. Such women tend to be more gentle and have a stronger maternal instinct."

"When men first see a woman with large breasts, they subconsciously feel that she is very suitable as a partner, which is why women with large breasts are less likely to remain single."

"Conversely, women with excessive male hormone secretion not only have smaller breasts, but also have more combative personalities, making them more prone to conflicts with their partners that can lead to relationship breakdowns, thus making them more likely to be single."

"In my work and life, I have met women with large breasts who are not single. I have been on more than ten blind dates, and I have not met any women with large breasts."

Peggy was convinced: "Okay, you have a point."

She began to focus on another question: "Why would you go on a blind date?"

In her eyes, her boyfriend was simply the ideal boyfriend in every girl's heart. Why would someone like that need to go on a blind date?

Pei Ming explained simply: "The social environment of Great Xia was different at that time. Women in Great Xia generally had very high standards for choosing a partner. I remember media reports that there were 3000 million single men in Great Xia."

Peggy exclaimed in shock, "Oh my god!"

She felt that in the eyes of women all over the world, men from Great Xia were the best partners, and the fact that there were 3000 million men left in Great Xia made her feel like "has the world gone mad?"

Peggy immediately asked, "Are there any single men in Great Xia that you know? I have many female friends who are very eager to meet them, even if they are a bit older."

Bei Ming shook his head and said, "As I just said, the 3000 million is only a matter of a special period. Now it is very easy for men in Great Xia to find partners. I don't know any men who are single."

Peggy was a little disappointed, but she felt this was normal: "Okay, never mind then."

at this time.

"Caw!" A crow's cry suddenly rang out.

The two looked up at the sound and discovered that a lively crow had appeared in the living room at some point.

Peggy was startled at first, then exclaimed with delight, "The Raven!"

As Mr. Raven's fame grows, ravens are no longer seen as unlucky in many countries around the world, but have become a symbol of good fortune. More and more people like to wear a raven-shaped pendant around their necks.

Lingya spat out an invitation: "Mr. Bei, I am here on Mr. Lingya's orders to invite you to attend a ceremony at Lingya Dojo tomorrow."

The invitation fluttered onto the table, and the crow immediately vanished.

this moment.

Pei Ming strongly suspected that he had been scammed.

How could Mr. Lingya, such a big shot, possibly invite someone as insignificant as himself?
five minutes later.

Bei Ming put down the phone, looking dazed.

He contacted the Bactrian embassy in Atinna to verify, and they confirmed that he was indeed on the list of attendees.

The embassy also made it clear that what happens tomorrow will be "a new page in history," and urged him to attend the ceremony.

Bei Ming even asked a silly question: "Where is the Spirit Raven Dojo? How do I get there?"

The other party laughed upon hearing this: "Mr. Bei, all you need to do then is hold the invitation and wait at home."

Peggy shook her boyfriend, overjoyed: "I can enter the Raven Dojo too?"

Pei Ming snapped out of his reverie and nodded, saying, "Yes, the invitation says we can bring our partners."

"Ah~"

Peggy immediately opened her mouth and let out a scream.

Bei Ming suddenly realized something: "Could it be related to the fact that I just awakened my special ability by receiving Mr. Lingya's invitation?"

Peggy chimed in, "I think it's very likely."

She glanced at her boyfriend and suddenly felt that meeting him was definitely the result of using up all the good luck she had accumulated in her life.

*
The next day.

Bei Ming was dressed in a formal suit, holding the invitation in both hands as if it were an extremely precious object, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Peggy looked very nervous, touching her hair and the hem of her clothes, as if afraid of doing something improper.

The embassy said that this was a momentous event that would go down in history, and they couldn't help but be nervous.

Both of them were very clear that their upcoming trip to the Spirit Raven Dojo would be the most glorious moment of their lives.

none of them! !
Bei Ming glanced at the invitation, still somewhat incredulous: "Just by having an invitation, I can enter the dojo? Really?"

He glanced at the time displayed on the smart glasses interface and felt his heart pounding: "It's almost ten o'clock."

Ten o'clock, which is the time indicated on the invitation.

Peggy's gaze immediately locked onto the invitation in her boyfriend's hand.

A few seconds later.

The number jumped and became 10:00.

Time is up.

At the same time, Bei Ming felt the invitation in his hand tremble slightly.

Peggy exclaimed in surprise.

The couple simultaneously saw the invitation open automatically, its surface shimmering with a gentle light, followed by a steady flow of clear water.

Pei almost dropped the invitation, but fortunately he immediately realized that this was a very important matter and quickly gripped it tightly.

He also discovered something strange: the water looked extremely realistic, yet when the water splashed on him, his clothes didn't get wet.

For the two of them, this scene was simply unbelievable.

At first, not much water flowed out, but in just a second, the water flow increased rapidly by hundreds of times, and with a "rumble," it submerged the two people up to their waists.

Peggy was speechless, only screaming repeatedly, "Oh my god! My goodness! Oh my god!"

soon.

The water level rose to above their heads, turning the living room into a water world.

At this point, the clear water stopped flowing out and began to drop rapidly.

When the water level dropped to their necks, the two were completely dumbfounded.

Because the living room is gone.

A large complex of Xia-style palaces came into view.

Outside the palace, there was a vast, endless desert stretching to the horizon.

A tall column of smoke rises from the distance, standing between heaven and earth.

The scene was so impactful that the two temporarily lost their ability to speak.

A few seconds passed.

A voice filled with shock drifted into their ears from the side: "Is this what they call 'a lone plume of smoke rising straight in the desert'?" (End of Chapter)
