under the tower

A tiny bump can be felt between the hard bones.

This chip was inserted by Ji Xi when he was ten years old. The spine, an essential part of the human body, cannot tolerate a single mistake, let alone rough injuries. The most elite surgeons in Shanghai were gathered for that irreversible operation. The medical force, the five neurological directors and the doctors of the Central Scientific Research Institute continued to fight for three days and three nights, and finally the operation was miraculously successful, and he was then told that this smart chip would follow Ji Xi for the rest of his life after implantation , can no longer be removed.

This is of course a very cruel method, but the Ji family is also ruthless enough, and absolutely.

They gave Ji Xi absolute power. This chip allows him to enter any corner of the information database of the entire Shencheng base, manipulate and manage all equipment. As long as humans are still using smart devices, Ji Xi with parental authority will be the one existence above all else.

After the underground gate opened, everyone followed Ji Xi inside.

They did not walk through the main entrance. After entering, they first saw a wide underground wine cellar with wooden cabinets. Bottles of wine with different labels and years were neatly placed, and the electronic temperature control system was always in operation. , the real-time temperature is displayed under each bottle of wine, and a large wine tasting table made of golden nanmu is placed in the center.

Mao Hei, a heavy smoker and alcoholic, had a blank expression and muttered, "You people are really extravagant..."

"We're all starving to death, you actually have such a big wine cellar here, my god, this is actually the 2021 Lafite!"

Ji Xi glanced at him: "Take it if you want, I can't drink it anyway."

He went through the cellar, opened another door, and went up the stairs.

The sensor lights on both sides automatically light up, and you can only officially enter the main hall of the house if you go up this staircase.

The whole hall is covered with a woven wool carpet of milky white with light gray patterns, on which there are black footprints.

Everyone had to take off their shoes.

"It's really exquisite." Mao Hei sourly mocked.

Even though Ji Xi has been away from Shanghai for nearly a year, there is no trace of dust in the whole house. There is a faint scent of citrus flowers in the air. The humidity and temperature are suitable. The intelligent management and control system is still in operation, and it will be cleaned regularly when the owner is away. .

Ji Xi was very cautious. The first thing he did was to adjust the automatically opened floor-to-ceiling windows to a one-way light transmission mode to ensure that no one could peep into them from the outside.

The ceiling of the entire living room is extremely high, and there are star-shaped shaped ceiling lights hanging on it. Several crystals of different colors are dotted in it, shining brightly and looking very beautiful.

In front of the coffee table in the center is a holographic display screen, handles and controllers that have been thrown around are placed on the carpet, and there are even a few game discs that have not been put back in time.

Chang Huai rested his chin, looked around for a week and commented: "It's not bad, your little life is very nourishing."

He added: "I also want a game screen this big in the future."

Excitedly pushing the wheelchair, he picked up a CD from the ground and looked at it.

"Hey." He raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Escape from the Jedi 3? Are you playing this? The gimmick it advertised before seems to be based on the real history of the few years since the end of the world? What, it's fun, I've always wanted to buy it It’s a pity that my damn old man just won’t let me…”

Ji Xi: "It's very boring. I spend all day killing deformed people and operating machines, and the plot line is terrible. I can't continue playing after a few hours."

"Ha, okay." Chang Huai put down the CD, "You succeeded in persuading me."

Walking up from the living room is the dining room and kitchen. On the long table is a cluster of violet campanulas that will never wither and carefully carved, lifelike. The shiny silver tableware is placed on the table covered with a snow-white tablecloth, as if waiting for it at any time The arrival of the guests.

Ji Xi walked into the kitchen and opened the temperature-controlled food cabinet built into the wall.

The entire huge food cabinet has three layers. The top layer is food stored at room temperature, which is filled with snacks, instant noodles, potato chips, chocolate and carbonated drinks. The second layer is a refrigerator, and the real-time temperature is displayed as a standard 0 degrees Celsius. There are raw noodles, fruits, yogurt, etc., but most of these have exceeded the shelf life and are completely inedible. The last layer is a freezer with seafood, meat and some semi-cooked food.

Ji Xi breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't quite remember what things he left in the house before he left, so at least in a short time, they shouldn't have to worry about food.

He took a large black truffle pizza out of the freezer and put it into the smart cooker. It will automatically recognize and control the temperature to cook the corresponding ingredients, and then send out a notification at the right time without any other operations.

Mao Hei was completely unresponsive after suffering continuous shocks: "..."

Outrageous, exaggerated.

He finally understood why Ji Xi was so inattentive at the beginning and couldn't distinguish between grain and grain.

Waiting for the cooking process to finish, they visited the upstairs again.

Ji Xi directly bought the entire house, with a total of four floors. It is reasonable to say that the place is spacious enough. However, because Ji Xi had completely arranged it for him to live alone, there were only two rooms on the second and third floors in the whole house. The bedroom and other rooms were all turned into messy things by him.

For example, the entire fourth floor has been opened up into a constant temperature indoor swimming pool, which is even equipped with artificial wave machines and water slides. A huge study room was built on the third floor, and the rows of two-meter-high bookshelves are full of various comics and miscellaneous books. There is nothing serious on the desk, except for an all-in-one computer with outstanding performance and a large enough screen.And the second floor is even more exaggerated. There is even a dedicated audio-visual room, which is well-equipped, and it is to the extent that you can open a movie theater at home.

It can be said that all the entertainment equipment that a 16-year-old boy can think of are concentrated in this small building.

Ji Xi took them around, and even Chang Huai, who was used to seeing the world, was shocked. He said that he could only describe it in four words - "amazing".

"I really should bring Lu Mingxiu to see it." He said, "He will like it very much."

Ji Xi complained: "The golden decoration style of their house makes me blind once I see it."

Chang Huai nodded with deep sympathy, and said plaintively: "Upstarts, how much money is so great!"

Mao Hei looked at them with disdain.

They washed themselves in hot water, and they were filthy for several days on board.

After Ji Xi returned to his home, he relaxed a lot. He took a fluffy pajamas from the closet and changed into them. Like a cat, he lazily slumped on the sofa as soft as a cloud, waiting hungry for the pizza to be baked.

He was a little sleepy, his eyelids were glued, and he fell asleep in a daze.

It has to be said that this feeling of returning to the old place really made him feel a little bit of security.

He was tired and wanted to put all those sad and annoying things behind him for the time being.

In the dream, Ji Xi vaguely recalled how she was when she was 16 years old.

That should be the period when he was young and frivolous, not mature enough, but high-spirited enough.He has had many outlandish dreams, one of which is owning a house. He has nowhere to vent his enthusiasm, so he has bought many CDs of fighting games.He proposed to go to the front line and lead the army to solve the hidden dangers of abnormal people that have been disturbing the base for many years, but his grandfather sternly rejected him, telling him "absolutely not".

The man's majestic face full of ravines has gradually blurred in memory. When Ji Xi was born, Ji Xuan was already over 150 years old, but he was full of energy and looked like a 40-year-old middle-aged man.

Ji Xi seldom disobeyed him, he had a natural sense of fear towards Ji Xuan, but that time, he was very persistent, and even carefully planned a runaway to express his firm willingness to resist.

When Xu Shi understood that the child would eventually be rebellious when he grew up, Ji Xuan compromised and offered to give Ji Xi a well-built helicopter.

The old man who lived for a century seemed to see through everything, and he said in a rather helpless tone: "Son, go and see for yourself."

"The world is big, but it's not what you imagined." The old man said earnestly, "If you have too much from the beginning, you won't cherish it."

After hearing this sentence back then, Ji Xi thought stubbornly that he understood the meaning of Ji Xuan's words, and it was nothing more than telling him not to make trouble for nothing.

He has heard similar warnings countless times——

Child, you are already happy enough, why bother with what you have?

They were especially worried about Ji Xi jumping off the tower.

Born with such a good life, others can't ask for it, so how can you say no to it?

It is true that Ji Xi was born at the top of the food chain, but he never admits that he is happy.

What exactly is happiness?

Can you feel real satisfaction and happiness just because you are in a high place and can look down on the heroes with a superior and lofty posture?

At the age of 16, he was so puzzled.

After the end of the world, there are often pessimists who say that it is meaningless for human beings to live in this world, it is just the reproduction of a species, just like any other biome in nature, the joys and sorrows of human beings are what humans think The meaning of life is nothing but a silly joke.

Excellent individual survival, inferior ones are eliminated, the end of life and new life are just ebbs and flows, reincarnation.

Everything he pursues is also meaningless, just like those people kept advising him in persuasion——

Child, you should be content.

Ji Xi rubbed his eyes uncomfortably, his thoughts were churning in his sleep, he turned over, sank into the soft sofa, and changed into a comfortable position.

Vaguely, he heard the sound of someone talking, which seemed to be coming from far away.

About Maohei.

He said: "This young master, at this moment, he is still in the mood to sleep, his heart is really big..."

He seemed to be talking to Yan Yi, his tone was respectful but with a hint of resentment.

"You really don't plan to tell him? Just let him live in such a self-righteous dream? With all due respect, you feel reluctant, but is this really good?"

Followed by Yan Yi's cold voice.

"I've never been reluctant." He said lightly, "I just don't think it's necessary to tell him. Anyway..."

He didn't say any more.

anyway what?

Ji Xi closed her eyes, thinking in a daze.

When he heard Yan Yi say the phrase "I'm not reluctant", a kind of heart-wrenching sadness still couldn't be restrained in his heart.

sweet dream...

Yes, if this was a dream, he didn't want to think about it, and he didn't want to wake up.

So he closed his eyes tightly, emptied his head of the words he had heard, and buried his face tightly in the cushion.
