Su Mo looked at the sumptuous meal before him, gradually lost in memories.

Eight years old, he and his grandfather were still living within the high walls. In his memory, inside the high walls were brand new, magnificent houses, the environment was very beautiful, and even the air was fresh.

But suddenly one day, his grandfather secretly sold all his assets and fled from the high walls overnight, changing his name and hiding his identity.

The reason was simple: he didn't know who he had offended, but people were often wandering and spying in front of his house.

The accidental death of his parents had already made his grandfather uneasy, not to mention the strange things that had happened in recent years.

Because he was worried that something would happen, he escaped.

Finally, they settled here and acquired a large number of properties.

And every year on his birthday, his grandfather would bring him here to eat.

As for the so-called high walls, they were walls that separated the rich from the common people, and they had existed for hundreds of years.

Three hundred years ago, an extremely tragic nuclear war broke out in this world, killing a large number of people. The land, air, and ocean were all contaminated by radiation.

Towards the end of the war, the countries that had suffered from the disaster finally realized that in the end, no one was the winner in war, so they shook hands and made peace, and established a loose federal system to discuss and resolve the contradictions between countries.

They explicitly rejected war and embraced peace as their guiding principle. They resolved conflicts through talks whenever possible, and if not, they used other methods, including virtual game competitions.

As a result, the gaming industry in this world is very developed.

However, the shadow of war has not faded so easily. Although the world is at peace, and all countries are working together to improve the environment, the residual radiation is like a chronic disease, troubling everyone.

The radiation levels of all wild plants, animals, and marine life exceed the standard, and basically no one consumes them.

Fortunately, the technological explosion has led to breakthroughs in artificial synthesis technology. Starch can be synthesized artificially in large quantities, and domestic animals such as pigs, ducks, cattle, and sheep can be cultured with hormones to achieve rapid production.

As for vegetables, they can be cultivated using soilless chemical cultivation, but because green plants accumulate pollution, uncontaminated fresh water must be used for cultivation.

This also makes it unaffordable for the average commoner.

Everyone has entered the era of eating meat, and in this era, meat products are the cheapest. Uncontaminated vegetables and artificially uncontaminated ingredients have become the top-level delicacies.

At the same time, with the advent of great peace, the gap between the rich and the poor has skyrocketed, and countless rich people and chaebols have emerged in various countries.

The contradictions between different classes are becoming more and more serious.

In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts and greatly reduce anxiety, envy, violence, and crime, all the rich and chaebols are concentrated in the center of each city, and high walls are built. They live within the high walls, enjoying the best of everything in this world, and will not step out of the high walls unless there is something special.

And the commoners outside will not enter the high walls unless there is something special. The contradictions between the two extreme classes have thus been greatly eased.

But it has also created a technological gap between the two, a whole era behind.

In addition, the existence of high walls is not only to restrain the activities of both sides, but also to self-regulate the chaebols, strictly prohibiting them from arbitrarily harvesting the leeks of the people below.

For the external commoners, the state also provides a large amount of welfare. All citizens receive free education. Of course, the quality varies, which will directly affect future development.

Everyone in this era is assigned a job. However, due to technological development, heavy work has basically been replaced by machinery and artificial intelligence. Most of the jobs are very easy, and the wages are good enough to support oneself, and in the end, a little bit can be saved, but it is impossible to get rich.

Because most people's working hours are fixed, they can only work four hours a day. Even if you want to work part-time after get off work, you can't find other jobs, because there are very few.

There are so many technological products in this world that the remaining money is not enough to spend.

People who have finished work are idle, in order to prevent them from wandering in the streets and becoming a factor of instability.

Therefore, countries vigorously promote various forms of entertainment, including games.

......

At this moment, a roaring sound of revving engines rang out!

Boom!!!

Three decent second-hand sports cars drifted and parked stylishly in front of Zhao's Restaurant.

Then a young man with spiky, golden-dyed hair, wearing a floral shirt, got out of the car and threw a few banknotes to an old man collecting parking fees next to him.

"Keep an eye on my car, don't let anyone scratch it, you can't afford to pay for it!"

"Okay, sure!"

......

After speaking, the young man led a group of lackeys into Zhao's Restaurant.

"Brother Zhang Wu, choosing this restaurant is definitely right. This is the best-tasting restaurant in the neighborhood. The girl will definitely be satisfied later."

"Alright! Boss!"

Zhang Wu shouted flamboyantly.

"Coming, coming."

Uncle Zhao walked up with a smile to greet them.

"I heard that you cook well here. My girlfriend is coming over for dinner when the university next door gets out of school later. What good food do you have here?"

"Beef, mutton, pork, hamburgers, fried chicken, sea fish, we have everything!"

After listening, Zhang Wu smacked his lips and said with dissatisfaction.

"Why is it all meat? Don't you have any vegetables?"

"Oh, we don't have that stuff."

Uncle Zhao responded with a smile.

At this moment, Zhang Wu inadvertently glanced at the food on Su Mo's table next to him, and his eyes lit up and said, "Aren't those vegetables?"

"Well, those were ordered by someone a long time ago, we really don't have any."

"What a bummer, bring me one of each of your signature dishes."

"Okay, no problem."

Uncle Zhao readily agreed.

Zhang Wu glanced at Su Mo again. This kid was quite strange, staring blankly at such good food.

Then he found a place to sit down.

Not long after, a stylishly dressed college girl walked in and called out sweetly.

"Brother Zhang."

"Oh, Xiao Wen, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhang Wu stood up, feeling very happy, and reached out to pull the girl to sit next to him.

"I just got out of school, so I came as soon as possible."

Xiao Wen replied with a little complaint.

"Your brother understands, look, I've ordered such a big table of delicious food waiting for you. Come on, tell your brother, what do you want to eat, I'll get it for you."

Zhang Wu asked solicitously.

"Hey, it's meat every day. I'm going to get fat from eating all this. I want to eat green vegetables."

Xiao Wen complained unhappily.

"Oh, I also know that green vegetables are delicious, but the problem is that there's so little of that stuff, and it's so damn expensive."

Zhang Wu quickly coaxed.

"What? Isn't someone eating them over there? How come you don't have any?"

"Those were ordered by someone a long time ago, how can we get any right now? Be good, your brother will prepare some for you next time."

"I don't want it, I want to eat green vegetables. Didn't you say that you're doing so well around here, that you can do anything? How come other people can eat it, but I can't?"

Xiao Wen threw her chopsticks aside, turned her face away, and looked very angry.

The lackeys next to him looked at their boss in surprise. They knew that their sister-in-law had a bad temper, but they didn't expect her to make their boss lose face in public.
