1083 About progress

"What are you thinking?"

Zhang Miao's gentle words pulled Lin Chi's thoughts back to the bookstore. Lin Chi looked at the bookshelf with a sense of age around him and said casually: "You are still a job here."

Apart from a welcoming robot, there are no other robots in Anjing Bookstore. The work of sorting out books and cleaning seems to be done by the mistress of the bookstore.

"Yes."

Zhang Miao smiled and glanced at the row of bookshelfs, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "I think the bookstore is still so good. Only when you contact people can you be called books. Books that are unwelcome to others are just waste paper."

Speaking of this, she suddenly lowered her voice: "And, I guess you can see it too? I don't like those things..."

"I understand your thoughts." Lin Chi nodded.

——Human science and technology are indeed making rapid progress, and can be described as rapid changes. People living in this era have all enjoyed the convenience brought by technological progress.

But for some people, technological progress has become a disaster, and Zhang Miao is obviously one of the victims.

If she hadn't had the damn genetic diagnosis technology, she might have lived a normal life now, but the so-called "anti-social personality" label was posted in advance before she became ill, destroying the woman's life.

The treatment of antisocial personality disorder is still a medical problem today. It is conceivable that Zhang Miao will live in the shadow of being monitored throughout her life, and it is very likely that she will not be able to start a family like other people. With the fact that her family has given up on her, the possibility of living alone is extremely high.

"Sometimes I think it's better not to invent some techniques. For example, this genetic diagnosis." Zhang Miao's voice was very soft, and there was no sign of "anti-social" at all: "I don't know if there are other people who are like me. I just hope this diagnosis and treatment method will not continue."

As soon as she finished speaking, a female voice suddenly came out from Lin Chi's cell phone speaker: "This is a necessary price for the progress of human society."

"What is this?" Zhang Miao was a little surprised.

"Shut up." Lin Chi took out his phone and adjusted it to a silent state, and then put it back in his pocket. Although Frankenstein could easily adjust it back, what he wanted to express was already obvious.

"I just forgot to say that it was a friend of mine. Because he was paralyzed in bed because he was sick, he entrusted me to take her out and use his mobile phone to 'see the world'." Lin Chi said his usual excuses with ease, and added: "Sorry, I forgot to turn off the video on her side just now..."

"It's okay, it's better to chat with one more person." Zhang Miao seemed to be completely careless, but just asked curiously: "Your friend seems to be very decent."

"She is indeed a bit pedantic." Lin Chi agreed.

"I don't." Frankenstein turned on the speakers of his phone again.

"Sorry." Lin Chi said as he planned to turn off his phone directly, but Zhang Miao stopped him again.

"I want to talk to your friends." The gentle woman said softly.

Lin Chi put his phone on the desktop. Zhang Miao looked at the green call icon projected above the screen and said, "Hello, this lady."

"Hello," said Frankenstein.

"You just said that this is a necessary price for the progress of human society, right?" Zhang Miao had no intention of being angry at all and was still in a state of "tenderness".

However, seeing that she is still so gentle, Lin Chi felt a subtle feeling of discomfort. It has to be said that this woman's ability to bear is too strong. Of course, it may also be because of her superb acting skills. If it is her acting skills, the subsequent conversation will be very dangerous...

"Remember to consider the other person's feelings. Human conversations cannot be straightforward." Lin Chi covered his mouth and used his throat to send a message to Frankenstein: "You will be beaten up in your way of speaking."

"I won't get beaten up." Frankenstein replied immediately.

"This is not the point, right?"

Seeing Zhang Miao's confused eyes, Lin Chi coughed pretendingly, picked up the teacup and listened to the conversation between the two. Frankenstein, who did not understand human "observation of words and expressions", still looked "righteous":

"Yes, that's what I said." Frankenstein answered Zhang Miao's question.

"Do you think this is correct?" Zhang Miao blinked, with a curious expression on his face.

"Every progress of mankind is accompanied by sacrifice, which is a price that must be paid." Frankenstein expressed his opinion.

——This guy is so straightforward…

Lin Chi covered his forehead and sighed. Seeing his painful appearance, Zhang Miao chuckled softly and turned to Lin Chi and asked, "I was just telling you, and now I should listen to your opinions. What do you think, guest?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Lin Chi looked at Zhang Miao's fair face through his fingers.

"Of course it's the truth." Zhang Miao said seriously.

"So, please don't tell others what I said - even if you tell others it doesn't matter." Lin Chi's mouth raised slightly, and he spoke steadily and said his opinion:

"My opinion is completely opposite to that of a friend," he said.

As soon as Zhang Miao said this, before Frankenstein could speak, Frankenstein had already questioned: "Do you think the progress of human science and technology should stagnate?"

"I don't mean that." Lin Chi put down his teacup, focused his eyes on the projection above the mobile phone screen, and expressed his thoughts to Frankenstein who was using his mobile phone to perceive the world:

"I think it is absolutely wrong to sacrifice individuals for overall progress. Everyone has the right to choose. It is too arbitrary to destroy other people's lives for such reasons."

Hearing his remarks, Zhang Miao smiled with his mouth covering his mouth and his eyes bent in a sweet curve: "Your words sound more like an antisocial personality disorder, aren't you really being monitored?"

"Maybe it's because I'm too lazy, they don't think I have any threats." Lin Chi teased.

"You are really interesting." Zhang Miao narrowed his eyes and asked suddenly: "I can see that you are not lying, but today's society does focus on 'whole'. Do you want to become a revolutionary and rise up to fight against this behavior?"

"Ha, stop kidding." Lin Chi laughed out loud: "I'm not a lunatic."

——No matter how crazy he is, he will not choose to change the entire society. To accomplish this with his own strength, it is completely a daydream. It is better to pray for buying a lottery and win the lottery.

"Then what are you going to do? Are you succumbing to this world like me?" Zhang Miao asked curiously.

After the other party asked a question, Lin Chi shook his head and expressed his attitude to the stranger he had known for less than an hour:

"I can't change the world, but maybe... I can change myself."
