I Have A Super USB Drive

"I have always admired the culture of Middle-earth."

Ryan nodded, looked back silently, and then said, "By understanding the culture of Central China and comparing with our Western culture, we can always find a lot in common."

"For example?" Chen Chen looked at the ocean and asked without looking back.

"For example... the culture of killing children."

Ryan glanced at Chen Chen, "You should know about "Twenty-Four Filial Piety", right?"

Chen Chen nodded.

"There is a story in "Twenty-Four Filial Piety" that I am very interested in."

Ryan laughed, "In the year of the catastrophe, a dutiful son named Guo Ju buried his son alive in order to save a sip of food to ensure that his mother would not starve, because he thought that if his son died, he could have a new one. If you die, you can't come back to life."

"It makes sense..." Chen Chen nodded.

"???"

Ryan was stunned, then smiled, "Chen, you are so humorous... This story is too simple, I'll tell it again."

"In ancient times, there was a man named Shun who was very talented, but his father didn't like him and often beat him hard for no reason. But Shun never resisted, and he endured obediently when he was beaten lightly; He fled into the wilderness, crying alone."

"Later, Shun's father became more serious. Once, he asked Shun to repair the roof, but as soon as Shun climbed up, he pulled the ladder and set the house on fire. In the end, Shun had to use the hat on his head as a parachute and jumped down. , escaped death..."

Having said that, Ryan observed Chen Chen's expression again, but found that Chen Chen was still expressionless, just looking into the distance indifferently.

Frowning secretly, Ryan continued, "Then two days later, Shun's father asked him to dig a well again, and Shun went to the bottom of the well. When Shun got to the bottom of the well, his father hurried to dig a well. I want to bury Shun directly alive.”

"Fortunately, Shun was very vigilant and knew that they had no good intentions, so as soon as he got down from the well, he dug a secret passage in the side wall of the well, which saved his life..."

"call!"

After speaking, Ryan finally couldn't help himself and asked, "Chen, don't you think Shun's father is very abhorrent?"

"It's okay." Chen Chen nodded, "If I were Shun, I would be very sad."

"Yes, I think so too." Seeing Chen Chen's attitude, Ryan was secretly delighted, and before he could speak any further, he heard the captain's voice on the cruise ship's dialogue device.

"Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Symphony of the Seas will leave Namibia's territorial waters in half an hour and arrive in the high seas of the Atlantic Ocean."

"Repeat, Symphony of the Seas will leave Namibian territorial waters in half an hour..."

The announcement sounded three times.

Immediately, the people who were still at the banquet burst into cheers, and many people left the banquet and walked towards the deck below.

"It's going to the high seas soon."

Ryan looked overjoyed. At the same time, three others walked out of the banquet hall and came behind them, "Chen Chen, Ryan, how about we go together?"

Of the three, one is Davis, the heir to the Wilson family, and the other two are heirs to Alexander and Edwards.

"Of course." Ryan turned to look at Chen Chen and invited, "Chen, are you interested in going around the casino?"

"Casino?" Chen Chen asked.

"Yes, not only the casino, in order to welcome you, Mr. Chen Chen, we also specially prepared a special program for you, I believe it will make your trip worthwhile!"

The three people on the side also began to encourage them.

"It's an honor." Seeing the invitation of the four, Chen Chen nodded, "I also want to see what kind of special program is Insight."

Before boarding the ship, Chen Chen had already studied some information about cruise ships. The reason why these cruise ships are so popular is because of the opening of casinos.

According to international law, the territory of aircraft, ships and other vehicles belongs to the country of the vehicle. That is to say, the cruise ship belongs to a certain country. If certain criminal cases occur on the cruise ship, it will be investigated and controlled by this country.

Therefore, as long as the country does not prohibit gambling, cruise ships in this country can have casinos on board.

Of course, if the cruise ship enters the waters of a country where gambling is prohibited, then he must immediately close the casino and not open it again until it leaves the country's waters again.

Before leaving with the crowd, Chen Chen took one last look into the distance.

Suddenly, the moonlight disappeared.

A dark cloud drifted slowly from the sky, spreading the thick darkness silently, covering the bright moon.

It seems that a storm is coming...

...

Since there was still half an hour's voyage to the high seas, in this spare time, Chen Chen was invited by the heirs of the four families to enter the opera house.

In the theater, which can accommodate a thousand people, only a few people are seated, but there is still a lot of momentum on the stage, and a group of stage actors are performing diligently.

Chen Chen was also very interesting to watch this opera. It tells the story of Zeus becoming the king of gods in Greek mythology.

According to legend, in the realm of the gods, Uranus, the god of the sky, imprisoned his children underground. As a result, his son Kronos rose up in the wind, castrated his father with a sickle, and replaced the rule of the god of the sky.

However, the god of the sky once cursed Cronus before his death, saying that he would also be killed by his heirs like himself.

So, Cronus made a decision to eat all the children born.

And he did exactly that. When his first five children were just born, they were swallowed by him before they opened their eyes.

When the sixth baby named Zeus was born, the mother Rhea hid Zeus and wrapped a swaddled stone to Cronus, calling it their child.

So, Cronus swallowed the stone in one bite...

Zeus survived by luck, and as he grew up, he began to understand his origins and decided to take revenge.

He first put an emetic drug in his father's drink, and then vomited after his father's drink, throwing up five of his siblings.

Among these five brothers and sisters, there are the famous sea king Poseidon and Hades, the king of the underworld.

In the end, the brothers worked together to defeat Cronus, imprison him in the bottom of hell, and Zeus became the king of the gods.

"How does it feel?"

As the opera ended, Ryan asked with a smile, "Chen, did you find that our western culture of killing children is similar to your eastern culture of killing children? A person is growing up and wants to overthrow the imposition imposed by the previous generation. Only with his will can he acquire a complete personality and become his true self."

"It's still a little different."

Chen Chen shook his head and denied, "This is actually a difference in culture. We in Zhongzhou are good at farming, and the older we grow, the more experience we can accumulate to farm, so as society multiplies, the older we get, the higher the seniority. , the greater the right to speak.”

"The Greek civilization is different. The land in Greece is barren and not suitable for farming, but it can produce olive oil, wine and wool, so the Greeks go to sea to do business and sell their goods to other countries in exchange for grain."

"However, the sea is obviously the world of young people. It is impossible for the elderly to go out to sea and fight against the waves. Therefore, the Greek culture worships young people even more, so the myth of killing the father appears."

Chen Chen analyzed, "So, this is the ideological difference between the two civilizations. In fact, the murder of children in our Central Continent is far less serious than that of the West's father-killing complex."

"..."

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone who was still in high spirits suddenly fell into a dead silence.

"By the way, doesn't it mean that there is another kind of show?"

Chen Chen suddenly changed the subject, showing a look of interest, "Can we go now?"

"It should be almost there, let's go to the casino lobby first..."

Davis on the side said, "Let's go there first, and then go to the boxing match!"
