The world enters the age of myth

Jin Lili looked at Lu Yiming's expression, paused, and then said: "Relax, don't be so serious. Because East China City is relatively wealthy, the social environment is actually not bad, and there are very few supernatural phenomena. On average, it runs about once a week. Right, and most likely it’s not a serious matter, it’s just some people’s whims and boredom causing trouble.”

"The poorer the place, the more troubles there are. Our place is relatively peaceful."

Lu Yiming paused in his heart. This is actually somewhat similar to Professor Huang's theory, because the poorer the place, the more serious the superstition.

"...If you meet some public officials who don't know you, but you need their cooperation, just open the software on your phone and call the number above, and they will be notified soon for their cooperation."

"But don't misuse the power in your hands, because every action you take is recorded on the file. If you do something too outrageous, you will still be criticized."

"No, no!" Lu Yiming said quickly, "I am still a very honest person and will not take the initiative to bully others."

Some people become arrogant when they have some power in their hands. They feel that they are superior to others and use chicken feathers as tokens. From the student unions of universities to the workplace and officialdom, this type of people can be found everywhere.

It is actually hard for Lu Yiming to imagine why many people have such inexplicable interest in showing off, and he has no desire to bully others.

To put it bluntly, his character has a bit of a salty mentality. If everyone can live in harmony, let's live in harmony as much as possible... Can he prove that he is superior to others by fighting back and forth?

After explaining these precautions, it is actually a very leisurely job.

Lu Yiming said: "We agreed to treat you to dinner. You can order whatever you want."

"Ha, I will kill you severely. I know a very delicious restaurant!"

Zhong Peng is still so taciturn, he basically doesn't like to talk. Seeing Lu Yiming's eyes, he just nodded slightly.

The three of them walked into the "Big Rice Bucket Canteen", a small restaurant near the security company.

The environment here is very good and the price is not expensive. Since it is an in-house restaurant, the confidentiality agreement is relatively loose. Everyone chatted casually in a private room, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

"Hey, my biggest dream now is to find a weird thing that suits me and enhance my superpowers..."

"It's really hard to say what the future will be like..."

"Even if you find it, isn't it dangerous for you to explore by yourself?" Lu Yiming took a sip of water and asked casually: "These things can kill people, and there is a chance of mutating."

Jin Lili said with a frown: "Oh, that's true. But no matter how suitable the strange objects in the research institute are, they only have the right to use them, not the ownership of the items. If there are two similar superpowers, how to distribute them? "

"There are fewer natural superpowers like you, but superhumans like us are the largest group of people. I'm not the only one with the ability to regenerate..."

"If possible, it is best to find a trick yourself as a trump card. As long as you find it yourself, the first ownership belongs to you. Although the risk is high, the benefits are also high. And even if you don't use it, , can also be used to conduct transactions with the research institute..."

"Hey, yes."

Lu Yiming can understand this statement.

However, the appearance of strange objects is often accompanied by supernatural events with a high level of danger, so where can they be found so easily?

…

The next few days turned out to be calm. Lu Yiming even felt that he was an idle man with nothing to do. He had almost nothing to do, no tasks, and no abnormal phenomena.

Being idle was boring anyway, so he began to carefully observe this society through online channels, trying to get some clues about it.

Even if the government departments use their utmost efforts to cover up some facts that have happened, we can still observe the subtle changes taking place in the world from various macro angles.

First of all, the first point is the sudden rise and fall of stocks!

Some shareholders of giant companies are reducing their holdings in large quantities. Some star stocks are obviously at a low price, but they are also reducing their holdings in large quantities, which is a bit unusual.

The only reason Lu Yiming could think of was that the top wealthy people who had learned the news were selling their shares and wanted to buy "shipping tickets" in large quantities.

There is no doubt that the price of the "ship ticket" is extremely expensive. The institute's expenses are so large that not only government support is enough, but also partly relying on the financial assistance of these top wealthy people.

If the end of the world really comes, stocks or money will inevitably be reduced to waste paper. It is better to buy your own life.

This fact is very helpless, but it is also a naked and cruel reality.

He sighed inwardly: "In any era, when disaster strikes, the rich have a higher chance of survival than the poor."

The so-called "wealth cannot last more than three generations" is because if the ancestors had never been rich, the poor would probably have no descendants...

Secondly, there is a second point. Unlike the stock market, the prices of commodities such as rebar, iron ore, copper, and silver have been rising for many years. It is like a super bull market!

This is completely inconsistent with the current economic situation, because when the economy is weak, commodity prices tend to be weak as well.

A group of economists from securities companies repeatedly called it "incredible". In fact, they had no idea why the prices of these materials were so strong.

Lu Yiming speculated that the construction of certain super projects may require a large amount of these materials, which has caused a long-term bull market in commodities.

After getting this information, he immersed himself in thinking: "In other words, this super project is unlikely to be placed in space... Human beings have not landed on the moon for a long time, and the most advanced rockets can only launch a few hundred tons of things. , it is unlikely that large numbers of people will flee.”

"So, this super project is still on earth."

There is also a third, rather strange phenomenon. Political disputes at home and abroad are basically invisible, except for some trade disputes.

There are less and less political quarrels, as if world peace has really been achieved...

Some small countries are still having conflicts, but the big countries have become extremely harmonious.

In other words, the world has not been at war for a long time. Leaders of various countries have become more and more Buddha-like. Cooperation among countries is far greater than competition.

World peace was simply unimaginable in the past!

What's even more strange is that through the "Internet Sovereign Space" agreement, various countries have completed firewalls, and people in various countries can only see news within each country.

The reason is also very simple. According to Lu Yiming's guess, governments around the world are busy covering up various supernatural events. In the face of an S-class super disaster that is about to break out, all kinds of trivial things become insignificant.

These are strange things in society that are difficult to conceal at the macro level.

Of course, if they don't think about it in a certain way, most people won't pay attention to it at all. They will only think that the world is running normally, the sun still rises in the east and sets in the west, and everything is the same as before.
