Closely observing the owner of the clothing store from making a wish to catching the clothes slowly emerging from the air, Wu Ming, who turned on his extraordinary perspective to observe, saw it very clearly - the Wishing Network had indeed 'created' this thing from scratch. Suits and masks.
No abnormal energy fluctuations were observed, and there was no possibility of energy converting into matter. There were no abnormal changes in the surrounding particles, which ruled out matter generated by rearranging and combining basic particles at the microscopic level. Wu Ming couldn't help but think of this nature of creation out of thin air. As for the psykers - those group of cheating extraordinary professionals who can directly 'modify' reality like modifying a program through the guidance of the fantasy sword.
On the surface, this world of abandoned history is not much different from the earth in the physical universe. The atmospheric pressure and gravity standards are consistent with the real earth. There is a normal sun hanging in the sky, and a normal moon appears at night. The geomagnetic field is consistent with the earth's. There is no abnormality in the core. At most, it means that all members have universalized the extraordinary power to make their wishes come true. Without further investigation, it is easy to mistake it for a society in which extraordinary power is universal.
However, through this generation of matter, Wu Ming got a glimpse of the truth of this world - the basic structure of this world is no longer stable, and it is likely to have a certain degree of idealistic properties, which is why the generation of matter is also at a low level. A state that completely violates the common sense and physical rules of the physical universe.
The clothes that the owner of the clothing store manifested through making a wish were a long black dress with a rather classical style. Perhaps Siegfried's identity could be seen through Siegfried's unadorned black robe and the black iron sword on her back. Due to the dressing preferences and behavioral habits, the design of the long skirt is not complicated and fancy, and can even be said to be a bit plain. It only has a circle of lace as decoration on the cuffs, neckline and skirt, and the skirt and waist have also been optimized to a certain extent. , try to ensure that it will not affect Siegfried's actions too much.
Compared to the plain black dress, the mask embodied on the clothing store owner's hand is even more eye-catching - it is a full-coverage mask with sharp edges and corners like a helmet. If you look carefully, you can see this mask It is 'spliced' together by movable structural parts one by one, and its appearance alone is full of a sci-fi texture of mechanical deformation.
According to the clothing store owner's demonstration, this mask can be transformed into three completely different structures according to the user's preferences - a full-coverage ghost-faced helmet with eyes flashing ferocious red like an evil Rakshasa; A helmet mask with an exhaust pipe and a breathing valve that is full of mechanical and sci-fi feel; and a V-shaped mask that covers the eyes and nose like goggles, and extends along the cheeks to the ears.
Siegfried obviously liked this mask more than the classic dress - when she saw this deformable mask, her breathing and heartbeat involuntarily accelerated a bit.
"Wow! Fei Ge! Look! How about this outfit and the helmet! Isn't it beautiful!" Elizabeth stood next to Siegfried like a curious baby. After watching the clothes and masks appear out of thin air, she couldn't help but wonder. When the dragon girl reacted, she looked up at Chubby with hope in her eyes, but there was no sparkle in her eyes: "Boss, boss! You can give it a try!"
Perhaps because of Elizabeth's excited expression, the shop owner's empty eyes fluctuated slightly, flashing a fleeting light of surprise. Then he twitched the corners of his mouth and revealed a stiff smile: "Of course, the fitting room is beautiful over there. Miss..."
Then Elizabeth pulled Siegfried and ran to the fitting room happily...
"It's really strange... I haven't seen a similar expression on anyone's face for almost three to forty years..." Looking at Elizabeth's back jumping away, the chubby shop owner said with emotion, "Brother , your friend should be living a very happy life, right?"
Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood the meaning of the boss's words.
"She easily feels happy because of small things. Sometimes I also envy her lifestyle." Wu Ming responded vaguely, as relevant memories slowly flashed through his mind, as well as what he learned about the world from Mori. All kinds of information, pretending to be a local, and then naturally leading the topic to other directions: "The Wishing Network has changed too many things..."
"Yes, the Wishing Network has changed too many things..." The fat boss repeated Wu Ming's emotion, and then he stiffly twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a stiff and ugly smile, "Do you know? What happened in this world I was actually a chef during the drastic change, and I probably never thought at that time that after the drastic change in the world, I would be able to have my own shop and then become a fashion designer..."
"...?" Wu Ming didn't know how to answer the call at this slightly larger career span. Then he realized his gaffe and immediately found an excuse to fool him: "Sorry, I was born later, so I Often they are not particularly able to understand the... changes in the careers of the older generation."
"Are you a child of the new era? It's normal that you don't understand. Although the Wishing Network claims to be able to solve all problems, it cannot calm people's hearts." The fat boss looked at the rows of clothes on the hangers in ecstasy and shook his head slowly. The expression on his face seemed to be mocking something, or self-deprecating, "In an era when the War of Miracles had not yet started, and the wishing network had not yet spread, materials and resources were not as rich as they are today, so that everyone had almost unlimited rations. , if people living in the world at that time wanted to survive, they had to work and earn money. Chef was my job to support my family. And this..."
The fat boss pointed to the rows of clothes for display on the hangers: "This should be my dream all along, to open a store where all the clothes are designed by me..."
Wu Ming had already guessed what he was going to say next, but he still answered the question in a way that was very consistent with his personality: "Then why didn't you choose to be a designer in the first place... Well, I mean in the old days. Where’s a store like this?”
"Because I don't have this talent, I don't have the talent to design clothes. No matter how much relevant knowledge I learn, the samples I design still have no beauty. I also don't have the talent to make these clothes. No matter how many times I practice, I can't make them satisfactory. "The works..." The fat boss' tone was very calm, as if he was mentioning a casual thing, "And more importantly, I can't take care of life while persisting in my hobbies and realizing my dreams. I have to live. I had to make money to support my family, and I had to take care of my family before I could think about realizing my dream, so I chose a profession in which I was somewhat talented - chef."
"Talent, talent... Maybe you don't understand it. You are a child of the new generation. You must not be able to understand the conflict between your dreams and reality, and the regret when your hobbies are limited by your talent and you have to choose to give up. But even so , at that time I was still dreaming and hoping that one day, one day I would have enough savings, and finally I would be able to design clothes that would be on the market and be liked by others, and then open a store like this to sell the designed clothes. Hang them up in rows..."
"Now that your dream has come true, boss, you... don't look happy."
"Well...after the popularization of the wish-making network, I transcended the limitations of my talent for the first time, designed the perfect work in my mind, and at the same time had the store I dreamed of. Two happy things overlapped. And these two happinesses, It should have brought more happiness..."
This subtle and familiar sentence pattern made Wu Ming's eyebrows jump suddenly, and his expression when he looked at the fat boss suddenly became strange.
"Now that I see that little girl's expression, I understand that my dream is not just to open a shop and design a few clothes..."
"Now that the wishing network has been implemented, anyone can make a wish and realize the things they want to do but cannot do. This is the best era. Everyone has the right to pursue their dreams and not be constrained by reality or talents. and ability, it is also the worst era, because now dreams can only be a dream forever..."
