How Am I Still Alive?

Strolling through the Garden City, you will find birds singing and flowers blooming everywhere, as well as familiar yet unfamiliar signboards.

"Burger King, Didi Daren, Shanfu Shuiquan, Baishi Cola. What's so fun about this."

The names of the cottages are all over the streets and alleys, giving Lu Ping'an a little bit of a shock to travelers.

It may be that the "senior time travelers" are not merciful at all, and they really don't leave any life for the younger generations.

But what makes Lu Ping'an the most nervous is that he saw all kinds of "hometown dishes", "home dishes", and "authentic hometown dishes" restaurants that don't seem to have "hometown" or "home" in them. The taste is not serious.

"I'm still thinking of finding a local restaurant with hometown cuisine. It may be a branch of a business group. Don't these people care about trademark law at all? Are they really not afraid of being sued?"

The answer is obviously yes. You copy and I copy and everyone copies together. Not to mention protecting "similar names" and "highly repetitive trademarks". If they are not exactly the same, it will only give you and others face.

If you really want to file a lawsuit, even if there are official forces in this world that can uphold justice, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to collect evidence and prove "plagiarism" with various logical loops and sophistry. Maybe the other company has failed due to poor management and the lawsuit has not yet been filed. Finished.

"Is there really nothing you can do? It's a bit disgusting."

"Actually, there are. Anyway, we are not a society governed by law now. Every one is exterminated, shopkeepers are hanged, and shops are burned. Once word spreads, no one will dare to use it."

"Yuge, I think you are a bit extreme." Lu Pingan's eyes widened, a little unbelievable that these words actually came from such a delicate mouth.

"Isn't the world like this?" The woman pouted and didn't take it seriously.

Meiyuge was a little unconvinced when the boss looked at her with a strange look despite her well-intentioned suggestions.

But after a while, after thinking about it for a while, Lu Pingan could only sigh, as if he was really the one who was wrong.

Needless to say, he thought about it, but it seemed that there was really no effective way. Meiyuge's "extreme suggestion" was the most reliable and most likely to produce results.

"I didn't come up with it. Many big-name business groups do this. You see, there is only one Baishi Cola on this street, but there are more than a dozen beverage shops with various water springs and mountain springs. Baishi Cola is 'Happy' Samsara's branch church's exclusive industry, as long as there are drinks, any product with a Coke brand behind it will be killed by them."

Lu Ping'an opened his mouth, not knowing where to start vomiting.

Coke is not your brand, and I just went to the store to see it. All you sell is all kinds of sugar water, honey water, industrial sweetener, concentrated sweetener, the kind that are so sweet that your pancreatic islets can’t stand it after one sip. Based on the consumption level of local people, the price is not cheap.

".There are so many people buying it. Do the people here have a bit of a taste?" Not far away, there were a bunch of people queuing up. Business was very good.

"You can't compare it with the taste of earthlings who have been spoiled by various flavorings. For locals, sweet, pure sweet, and super sweet are their favorite taste choices. Being able to take a sip of sugar water is a lot. The most important thing in human life. Of course, various related diseases also come, but no one seems to care. After all, you have to live until the side effects are fatal."

Lu Ping'an touched his chin. This is really hard to comment on. After all, for local residents who don't even have flavorings, "industrial sweetness" is too hard to resist. Moreover, you told them that eating a lot of sugar is harmful to health. The people on earth say, "If you make too much money, your life will be meaningless." This is probably true. It may be true, but obedient people are considered educated if they don't take action.

"After all, in this world, the least valuable thing is human life, and most living people won't think too far ahead."

Meiyuge sighed and felt helpless. The values ​​​​in times of war are completely different from those in times of peace.

Lu Pingan thought for a moment and asked casually.

".Then, if there is a being who can let them exchange their lifespan for power, do you think there is a market for it."

"There is no doubt that it will go crazy." The woman said in a positive tone, and then added a few words.

"Even if they are only ordinary mercenaries with one or two levels of combat power. No, as long as there is the possibility of becoming a warrior to seize their lives, they are willing to sacrifice most of their lives."

“So extreme”

"This is just a simple profit decision. Although the lives of residents in this city are not bad, most local residents have no confidence that they will survive the next five years. And settling in such a large city is not an ordinary difficulty. Many people don’t have this opportunity.”

Extreme weather, sea monsters, foreign invaders, rampaging mythical beasts, there are too many things in this world that can kill people. Of course, the most deadly thing is always...

"Famine and disease, you may not think it is so easy for us to hunt fish, but in fact, the intensity of sea monsters is not low. For ordinary people, it is a life-threatening battle, and diseases are even more deadly. Not to mention various foreign viruses, and finally The fatal disease is pollution. In fact, most marine fish are contaminated now."

With the opening of entrances to foreign lands one after another, the pollution concentration in this world has also increased significantly. This has not only increased the pollution resistance of ethnic groups (those who are not enough will die), it has also brought about persistent and large-scale alienation diseases and Chronic death syndrome.

On the road to safety, I saw several long-handed people with mutated appearances, but they seemed to really not care. After all, as long as your life span is short enough, mutations and chronic diseases cannot catch up with you.

Under such circumstances, most locals are typically drunk today, and those consumer goods that don't look good on a safe road may be once-in-a-lifetime luxuries among them.

"The business of our business group's 'hometown cuisine' is actually average, not as good as the 'hometown cuisine' where you just smash candy cubes into it. Now many people think they are the authentic ones."

Although it was an expected thing, Lu Pingping was still a little nervous, but after thinking about it, "fellow earthlings" came to shop in his store before, and it seemed to be a matter of course.

However, fortunately, those operators also knew well and knew that Lu was really not easy to deal with, so they did not make a joke about Li Gui using Li Kui's signature.

".I kind of agree with your opinion. Maybe, I need a little fame, a reputation for cruelty."

Strolling on this familiar yet unfamiliar street, Lu Pingan lamented the changes in facts, but was also a little surprised and delighted.

Although there were many twists and turns and barbaric growth, the world and the times were indeed progressing. He saw local people busy in various shops, saw all kinds of strange fishing gear and practical tools, and saw all kinds of poorly packaged local snacks.

"Light industry and cultural industry have already taken off, but heavy industry seems to be only shipbuilding."

Ten years ago, all the operators of shops and industries were earthlings. The local free fish people and long-hand people were either wage earners or slaves. But now, those "shop owners" mean that they have their own "middle and upper class of society" ", there is a small world that is circulating internally.

Along the way, there were photo studios, bookstores, theaters and movie theaters that I passed by.

This means that they no longer only care about eating enough, but also pursue their own "value" and "history".

Then, they are no longer a primitive tribe that was randomly driven and broken into pieces.

"Although the gap between urban and rural areas is ridiculously large, and despite all kinds of barbaric growth and distortion, they are still a civilization."
