People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 81 New News at the Frontier of the Times

Li Qi sent the old man to the airport and then onto the plane. After that, Li Qi waited for about an hour and then got on another plane.

Yushan, where the Chanxin Gate is located, is very close to Qiming City.

Today, there are twenty-three famous technology cities in the world, and all kinds of technologies are at the forefront of the times. Qiming City is one of them.

Even the name Qiming comes from this.

This is also where Li Qi's younger brother Li Si came for winter study camp. With such a distance and in such a big city, if it weren't for the country's training, given Li Qi's family situation with his parents lying down, it would have been impossible for Li Si to come here.

The flight took only over an hour from Yushan to Qiming. Li Qi was there, but there was no one to pick him up at the airport, so he contacted an online taxi early, just before getting on the plane, and agreed on a time in advance.

Li Qi didn't have much luggage, just a suitcase for clothes and a knife bag for a wooden sword.

In fact, after he enters the country, he can go to a special agency, take an assessment, and then obtain a legal certificate for carrying cold weapons. At that time, he can go anywhere without any obstacles.

It's just that he has no free time during this period.

Of course, weapons don’t mean much to him. They are only needed when he is practicing. If he really needs to fight someone on a daily basis, his hands and feet are enough.

As for what would happen if he encountered an accident and was surrounded and attacked, in this day and age, if someone really wanted to kill him, they would dare to kill him in the street. He couldn't just use cold weapons to fight him in close combat. Wouldn't it be better to just use a heavy sniper rifle?!

Unless the enemy has low intelligence, it is impossible for him to find someone with similar combat power to fight with him.

For Li Qi, it doesn't matter whether he uses a knife or not to his enemies who are not as strong as him. If he faces enemies who are much stronger than him, it doesn't matter whether he has a knife or not. Everything is so real.

"It is indeed a city of science and technology. The whole style of painting is different from Tiannan."

Li Qi sat in the back seat of the car, looking at Qiming's building complex through the glass.

Tiannan has a permanent population of several million. The city is very large, with all kinds of high-rise buildings and elevated roads. In fact, it has everything you need, but it is different, from the overall architectural style to the various details in the streets and alleys, and even the people coming and going on the streets.

From architecture, to culture, to thoughts, to concepts... everything in this place is very different from Tiannan.

Although Li Qi had seen a lot of things about Qiming City through videos on a daily basis, the feeling of seeing them through the screen was completely different from that of being there in person.

As far as Li Qi could see, most of the people on the road were in a hurry, and the buildings throughout the city used bright metallic colors on a large scale. At the same time, in the detailed decoration, there were a large number of circuit logic diagrams, gears... These were patterns representing industry, used as decoration.

More importantly, the entire city displays a highly intelligent state of life. Along the way, Li Qi saw numerous driverless online taxis, and the garbage on the streets was also being cleaned by robots controlled by highly intelligent AI.

Many people are wearing special glasses that can automatically adapt to different scenarios and use voice commands to place orders directly in front of stores or scan codes to pay...

In addition, basic operations include displaying navigation arrows in front of your eyes and even applying a layer of mod to the entire world.

Even in this city, many seemingly meaningless decorative patterns can be seen as interesting dynamic patterns when viewed with intelligent eyes...

In this city, seeing things with or without smart glasses is like seeing two completely different worlds.

As for the automatic power-assisted trails along the way, they are distributed in various places, allowing for efficient walking...

These technologies have not been used on a large scale in other places, but here they have become the norm.

In the sky, Li Qi saw small drones delivering express delivery and takeout flying around like a vast flock of birds.

This place and Tiannan are two completely different worlds. Li Qi at this moment deeply felt the gap between the times. This place was at least thirty years ahead of Tiannan.

At the same time, Li Qi also knew that there were many places overseas that were still in the ancient feudal era of Yanhuang, and there were not even coal-fired steam engines. The natives there even believed in primitive gods and made a living by farming and hunting.

"It seems that this is your first time to Qiming, sir."

“This place is definitely different from other places.”

"From the way he's dressed, he doesn't look like an ordinary person. Could he be here for an inspection?!"

"I heard that there seems to be something going on recently, the popularization of artificial intelligence, and many people have come here to conduct research..."

"If you ask me, this means they don't want to give ordinary people a way to survive. It's true that the transition from agriculture to industry will benefit future generations, but how many people care? What about the people who starved to death during the transition?!"

"Even now, when it's mentioned, it's just a few words, a fleeting thought, the price of our times..."

The driver was talking to Li Qi. He clearly lived in this technological city, but he was somewhat pessimistic about the future.

"Come to see a friend."

Li Qi responded without elaborating.

Instead, he continued to look out the window. In just a short while, as the angle of light changed, the colors of many tall buildings actually underwent subtle adjustments.

Further away, Li Qi also saw that in an open space, there were some children around eleven or twelve years old, playing on suspended skateboards, and some were doing some cool moves.

This is magnetic levitation technology.

However, this skateboard can only be used in specific places nowadays. In other places, it is just a heavy plastic board. Due to cost issues, it cannot be popularized on a large scale.

In the past, Li Qi only saw it online and said 666 in his heart.
As for the topic the driver was talking about, Li Qi was naturally clear about it, but he couldn't change anything now.

This world has always been cruel to the weak.

It is because he knows this that he chooses to become a strong man.

As for changing the world, this is not something a weak person can do.

After more than ten minutes, Li Qi finally arrived at his destination, a coffee shop with a very spacey decoration style.

The name of this coffee shop is Space Monkey. It is a chain store with many good reviews, but it is not available in Tiannan because this store is not located in a small city.

Li Si is still studying and doesn't have much free time, so Li Qi chose a store very close to where Li Si is studying and booked a table.

The seats here also need to be booked in advance, the time must be set, and there is a special table fee, but Li Qi doesn't mind that little bit now.

In his current situation, even without the support of his family, he would not be short of money by simply doing some fighting or selling some courses. After all, his fighting ability is there. Many people who come here can never achieve his level of skills even if they practice for their entire lives.

Powerful people always have more choices. This is the rule of this world.
