The planet that Rhodes is currently on has a nice name, called Huayingbi.
Huayingbi is the only planet with life in the Southern Cross constellation among the fifteen galaxies under the jurisdiction of the Elder Civilization.
The Elder Civilization manages a total of seventy-three living planets.
Currently, the Elder Civilization is at war with the Mechanical Intelligence Universe.
The two sides have been fighting for nearly three hundred years, fighting intermittently. No one has been able to fundamentally eliminate the other. The battle lines have always been tug-of-war.
Because Huayingbi is far away from the front line and is nearby a vast galaxy, it is the only planet that has life.
Therefore, the location of Huayingbi can be said to be remote.
According to what Rhodes learned from Tang Guoguo, there are currently only five cities on the entire planet.
And what they call a city is not, as Rhodes understood it, a big city with millions of people.
Ulaanbaatar, the third largest city where he is now, has a total of more than 120 people.
In Rhode's mind, this size was not even a town, at most it was an ordinary village.
But with just such a small number of people, they can be called a city. The reason is actually very simple.
Because the population of the Elder Civilization is very small.
The people here possess extremely powerful racial talents.
As long as the knowledge is deeper, the ability will be stronger.
But it may also be that for this reason, it is very difficult for them to reproduce.
A couple may have to work hard for many years before they can conceive a child.
Ever since, the people in Ulaanbaatar were so nervous because the predecessor of Rod's body got lost when he went to visit his parents' graves.
In the end, even the sages stationed in the city took action in person.
The root cause is the worry that the small population in the city will face accidental attrition.
This is something they won't allow.
At this time, Rhodes was studying the book floating in front of him in the room.
All the existing pages in this book, called the Book of Fate, are blank.
It seems that after the death of the original body, nothing that was recorded by this body is now left.
During this time, Rhodes was constantly familiar with the books stored in the house.
These are all left behind by the original body.
Since he wants to continue living under the name "Chu Yusheng", he must slowly pick up the things that his original body knew.
This knowledge is hard to understand.
It's not that the people who wrote the books intended to do this.
But there are some mysterious things that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.
Whether you can comprehend it all depends on your personal talent, and many people comprehend completely different things from the same book.
But fortunately, there are countless smart people behind Rhodes.
For any questions in the book, there will be a dedicated person responsible for clarifying the details.
Everyone will make the simplest and most understandable comments based on their own understanding.
So Rhodes quickly got many versions of the answer.
Just when Rhodes was about to engrave it.
At this time, the door to Rhodes' room was pushed open.
A little guy with a little head sneaked in.
She seemed to be looking to see if Rhodes was doing anything strange.
Finding that Rod was studying hard, she shouted, "It's time to eat."
"Okay, I'll come right away!"
Rhodes put down the book in his hand, stood up and followed her out.
The two came to the dining room together.
In the dining room, the male master of the family, Tang Bailu, was sitting at the top.
On his right side are his wives Tang Xushi and Tang Guoguo, and on his left side is himself.
Tang Guoguo once said that it was because her parents in this body saved the lives of Tang Bailu and Tang Xu when they went to the battlefield with the Tang family.
So after his parents unfortunately died in the war, it was up to the Tang family to take care of him.
Rhodes quickly walked to his seat and sat down cross-legged.
Everyone has a small table with a few dishes of side dishes placed on it.
A plate of green vegetables, a plate of dried meat slices, a bowl of soup, and a portion of rice.
These foods are all varieties that Rhodes has never seen before.
Once everyone has arrived, there are not so many false gifts. Everyone can just take care of themselves and start eating.
This kind of civilization, which has been highly developed intellectually, has become very indifferent to rules.
They don't need to use rules to form a sense of class, nor do they need to keep each other polite because of rules.
As long as you understand me, we are good friends.
After finishing the meal, Tang Guoguo and Tang Xushi began to pack away the leftovers.
Tang Bailu, who would normally leave immediately after eating, today sat firmly in his seat without moving.
Originally, Rhodes wanted to help the Tang Xu family, but as soon as Rhodes had this idea, Tang Bailu stopped him.
After watching Tang Guoguo and her daughter completely disappear outside the door, Tang Bailu asked Rhodes, "Are you feeling better now?"
Rhodes replied: "I feel that my body is recovering well. Although I have lost my memory, I can learn it again pretty quickly."
Tang Bailu nodded after hearing this.
Seeing that Tang Bailu didn't continue talking for a long time, Rhodes took the initiative to ask: "I wonder if you asked me to stay. Is there something wrong?"
A person like Rhodes would never feel that Tang Bailu only stayed behind to ask about his health.
Why should we wait for Tang Guoguo and his daughter to leave before asking about such a casual question?
There must be something he couldn't say in front of mother and daughter.
"Hey." Tang Bailu sighed first, and then said, "Your aunt and I will return to the front line soon."
"Huh?" When Rhodes heard the news, he felt it was quite sudden.
Tang Bailu and Tang Xu had only been away from the front line for less than a year, why did they want to go back again?
Is the war between the Elder Civilization and the Mechanical Intelligence Universe so intense now?
Rhodes asked: "About how many people in the city will go?"
Tang Bailu glanced at Rhodes in surprise: "How do you know that others will go?"
Rhodes smiled and said:
"Uncle, I just lost my memory, not stupid.
People like you who have just returned recently will be warned, so how can someone like Uncle Wang next door, who has not been on the front line for five years, escape? "
Tang Bailu nodded silently: "You are right."
He looked at Rhodes and asked, "Then you should also know why I left you alone, right?"
Rhodes replied: "I can roughly guess that you should ask me to take care of Tang Guoguo for you, right?"
Tang Guoguo was similar in age to herself. As parents who were about to travel far away, it was within the scope of reasonable speculation that they asked them to help take care of their daughter who was left behind at home.
But after Tang Bailu heard this, he slapped his thigh and started laughing.
He pointed at Rhodes and said:
"You guessed it completely wrong! You used to be a complete nerd. Originally, I just wanted you to listen to Guoguo's instructions and stop running around.
That's why I left you alone to avoid losing face.
But looking at you now, it seems that you have really enlightened yourself.
If you think you have the ability to take care of Tang Guoguo, then I look forward to your performance! "
Rhodes looked a little surprised.
Oh, I guessed wrong.
But it doesn't matter at all.
It is normal for young people to act recklessly and blindly confident from time to time.
Although Rhodes already knew what kind of person he was from Tang Guoguo's mouth.
But if you have just lost your memory and act mature in everything, and do things flawlessly, that is what will make people suspicious.
Rhodes said: "I am already an adult, and I understand your instructions."
Civilized people are born with extremely high intelligence.
After the age of three, the writing of this world is taught.
Then all they have to do is read, read, read.
No matter how old you are, as long as you can pass the adult examination in the city, covering more than ten categories such as astronomy and geography, history and philosophy, and life skills.
Then you can be considered an adult legally.
Although the predecessor Chu Yusheng was a nerd, his academic ability was indeed not bad.
He has already passed the adult examination and already has certain combat capabilities.
So now Rhodes calls himself an adult, there is no problem at all.
"Yes." Tang Bailu was quite satisfied with Rhodes' statement.
"We'll leave tomorrow,"
Rhodes was surprised: "So fast?"
Tang Bailu said: "Time waits for no one."
Rhodes nodded: "I wish you a safe journey and a safe return."
After Rhodes chatted with Tang Bailu for a while, he said goodbye and left.
When he reached the door of his room, he faintly heard some sobbing coming from the room next to him.
Rhodes took a look and found that Tang Guoguo and Tang Xu were holding each other and crying.
But he didn't care so much and opened the door directly and entered the house.
Early the next morning, Tang Bailu and Tang Xu had already left home.
Leaving with them were more than half of the people in Ulaanbaatar.
After these people left, all the people in Ulaanbaatar, apart from the officials, were left with the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Tang Guoguo was nowhere to be seen early in the morning.
The door to her room was always closed, and she still seemed to be hiding in the room crying.
There was no one to cook when she didn't come out, so Rhode had to do it by himself.
Fortunately, Rhodes' cooking skills are pretty good.
After grabbing something to eat, Rhodes was ready to go out for a walk.
This is the first time he has gone out since he came to this world.
Although the household registration system of the elder civilization is not strict, all people have considerable strength.
Even a kid of a few years old on the street might beat you up.
The cards they pulled out of the books had all kinds of strange abilities.
According to the analysis of people in the Strategy Department, the Zerg cannot easily defeat them.
If you do it forcefully, the noise you make will easily attract the attention of others.
So I can only come secretly.
While Rhodes was recuperating, the Zerg tried to sneak into the city many times.
But neither snakes, insects, rats, ants, nor common wild beasts can break through the city's defenses.
As soon as you get close, you will be killed immediately, and the cause of death is not even known.
These things still need to wait for Rhodes to understand.
Only when you know your roots can you find a breakthrough.
And, Rod had tried it before.
He put a piece of fresh meat in a moist and dark place, and it would not rot for a long time.
It seems that there is a different kind of magic in the whole city, which is preventing all bad things from happening.
Now, in the entire city, there is finally a large vacuum area of power. This is a rare opportunity!
So Rhodes planned to look around and observe the situation in this city first.
Speaking of which, Ulaanbaatar is a city.
But in this city, there are only two short rows of buildings.
In the middle of the building, there is an aesthetically pleasing street.
There isn't even a decent green plant on either side of the street.
Rhodes didn't find any shops on the side of the street. It seemed that all the buildings were residential buildings.
At this time, there was no one on the street.
I accidentally discovered through the window that there were people in the house, but those people were immersed in reading.
Looking at Rhodes passing by outside the window, they all cast surprised glances.
It seems that he is curious, why is Rod not reading at home but still hanging out?
But no one would keep their eyes on Rhodes for long.
Rhodes was like a passerby in their eyes, and only the books in his hands were their eternal companions.
In a short street, Rhodes quickly walked back and forth.
He found that these people here liked to stay at home and would not go out unless necessary.
Being able to stay in the house and read books all the time is the happiest thing for them.
Outside the two rows of buildings, Rhodes did not find any city walls or shields.
It seems that there is no distance between the city and the forest outside.
But even at this distance, the Zerg tried many times but could not break through.
So Rhodes shifted his gaze back to the building.
Every building here is made of wood, and the sound insulation effect is extremely poor.
It’s hard to get started in this environment!
Although you have the template, if you don't have a suitable identity, it will be quite difficult to do many of the things you want to do.
What to do?
While Rhodes was thinking, a guard appeared at the street corner.
He looked at Rhodes who was walking outside and asked solemnly: "If you don't study at home, why are you out here?"
Rhodes replied: "Isn't this just amnesia? Come out and familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment."
The city is small, so the guards also know Chu Yusheng's situation.
He didn't see anything wrong with Rhode's excuse.
So the guard said: "When you are done shopping, go back quickly."
"OK."
Rhodes didn't stay any longer and immediately walked towards home.
As soon as he returned home, he saw Tang Guoguo, with red eyes, opening his bedroom door.
She saw Rhodes who had just entered the room and turned her head to the side.
But she still asked: "You must be hungry, right? I'll make you something to eat."
Rhodes waved his hand: "No, I've already eaten it myself."
"Have you eaten?" Tang Guoguo was a little surprised, "What did you eat?"
Looking at Tang Guoguo's bloodshot eyes, Rhodes pointed in the direction of the kitchen: "I just made some and ate it."
Tang Guoguo looked at Rhodes suspiciously.
She seemed to be full of doubts about Rod's ability to cook.
She walked into the kitchen minding her own business.
Looking at the kitchen that had been completely tidied up, I touched the remaining water stains beside the sink.
She asked in a very surprised tone: "When did you learn to cook?"
She seemed to think that the probability of Rhodes lighting the house on fire was much greater than the probability of being able to cook.
Rhodes said: "After all, I passed my own efforts and successfully completed the adult examination. Isn't cooking a part of it?"
Tang Guoguo was doubtful about Rhodes' answer.
But Tang Guoguo did not stay on this issue for too long.
Tang Guoguo, who is also only 8 years old, already looks and speaks exactly like an adult.
She looked at Rhodes and asked, "How many cards do you still have in your life book?"
Rhodes replied: "There's not a single one left."
Tang Guoguo's eyes widened, seemingly in disbelief.
"How is that possible? I heard that someone lost his memory before, but his cards are still there?"
Rhodes replied calmly: "Who knows? Maybe he is special."
Tang Guoguo quickly took Rhode's arm and dragged him away.
"Then why are you hanging around outside now? Why don't you go back and do things quickly?"
"boom!"
After pushing Rhodes into the bedroom, Tang Guoguo immediately closed the door to Rhodes' room.
She shouted from outside the door: "You are busy working in there. I will come to see you after dinner."
After saying that, Tang Guoguo left.
Rhodes behind the door looked at the closed door, stood for a moment, and then sat down at the desk again.
