Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

Page 170

After finishing the meeting with them, Uesugi Kenichi went back.

After returning home, Uesugi Kenichi was in a particularly bad mood. As soon as he walked in the door, his mother saw him and asked with a smile.

"...Kenichi, you're back? What have you been up to?"

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kenichi smiled and replied.

"I went to the company. Today, our company developed a new project. However, it is currently in the preliminary selection stage. It will probably take a long time before it is actually developed. This is a new project that we have never done before, so we have no experience and have to be cautious."

Reika Uesugi was delighted to see that her son's company had developed a new project.

She nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, are you tired? Would you like something to eat? I'll make you something to eat."

However, Uesugi Kenichi shook his head after hearing this.

He went upstairs and answered.

"No need, just get me a drink, anything (Zhao Nuo's) is fine, preferably milk or soy milk, nothing sweet, nothing with a lot of sugar."

Kenichi Uesugi is currently on a diet.

In the past, if he were thirsty, he definitely wouldn't have been able to control himself and would have gone to drink immediately.

But now, he can't explain why, suddenly, his self-control has become incredibly strong.

I don't know if it's because he was so hungry.

When I'm really hungry, my self-control becomes incredibly strong. But in the past, even when I was very hungry, I would really want to eat something.

If I don't eat, I get very irritable.

After Uesugi Kenichi returned upstairs, the game issue was resolved. Now, he was just waiting for Utaha and the others to write up the development proposal for him to review.

However, he's currently idle, so what should he do?

Kenichi Uesugi didn't want to waste a single moment.

He has to be busy there all the time; he absolutely cannot be sitting there in a daze.

Chapter 301 The Great World

Because he was making a female version of the game, Kenichi Uesugi would search for female companion games and download them to try out whenever he had time, to see how well other games were doing.

If this effect was achieved, why didn't a major fire break out?

Why didn't it cause a major fire? What shortcomings still exist?

These are all things that Kenichi Uesugi had to experience during the trial, and these answers cannot be deciphered by anyone else; only he himself could decipher them.

Right now, Kenichi Uesugi is busy with this matter.

Suddenly, he saw a video posted online. Uesugi Ken clicked on it and watched it. After watching it, he was speechless.

Kenichi Uesugi knew that there were even poorer places in the world outside of this place.

But he really couldn't believe that there were people in this world who ate dirt. You see, when he watched the video, he could see chickens being raised and green plants all around.

Even boiling tree leaves to eat is better than eating dirt.

Moreover, since chickens exist there, large-scale breeding is feasible.

After much deliberation, Uesugi Kenichi ultimately concluded that:

It's still because those Africans are poor.

His impression of Black people has never been good, and now that he sees these kinds of videos, his impression is even worse. They really seem to be completely incapable of thinking.

This reminded Uesugi Kenichi of the impoverished populations in some parts of his own country.

I guess they're like that too; it's not really that region, so there's no problem.

He had seen it online; there was a little girl there.

Even though he lived in the countryside, he lived a poetic life. Uesugi Kenichi thought that this was what a smart person was.

Those who are so poor they have to eat dirt are probably really stupid.

He clearly has the conditions for raising livestock, but he can't think of any reason not to do it. Doesn't he have any long-term vision?

I really can't understand the way these people think.

Because they couldn't communicate, and moreover, the other person wasn't from his country, Uesugi Kenichi had no idea what kind of life the other person was living.

He was simply thinking that he wasn't exactly at the very top of the pyramid either.

But compared to those people's lives, his life was truly blissful, like that of an immortal. Good heavens, even when Uesugi Kenichi was starving, he never ate dirt.

I have absolutely no idea what soil tastes like.

What I'm even more curious about is this soil, which you can just dig up and make yourself out of nowhere. Is it even edible?

Kenichi Uesugi was watching from there, internally criticizing their way of survival.

Unexpectedly, Mom came in with a bowl of soy milk at that moment.

Upon seeing Kenichi Uesugi, Reika Uesugi was delighted and smiled slightly.

"Qianyi, your soy milk is here. I got it for you iced. It's been chilled in the refrigerator, and it's sweet too."

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kenichi turned to look at his mother, and he was very happy.

"Ah."

When Uesugi Reika arrived, she put down the food.

At that moment, Kenichi Uesugi showed his mother the video and called out to her.

"Mom, look, look at this video."

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Reika was taken aback, looking puzzled.

"what happened?"

She took the phone and looked at it herself. After a few seconds of silence, watching the video intently, Uesugi Reika was surprised.

"Why are these people eating dirt?"

Seeing his mother's surprised expression, Kenichi Uesugi wanted to laugh, and he asked with a smile.

"Isn't it funny? Seriously, this is the first time I've ever seen someone eat dirt. I never thought of it before. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have believed that someone would actually eat dirt."

Hearing this, Uesugi Reika remained silent.

She just watched the video quietly and silently. I guess she felt quite sorry for those people who lived such lives.

Because when I first started watching, Kenichi Uesugi had the same thought.

I just feel that this world is really too difficult.

It's unbelievable that there are still people living such a life. Compared to them, Kenichi Uesugi feels that he is living the life of a god.

The video wasn't very long, about seven minutes.

When Uesugi Reika saw this, she seemed to have finally finished reading. She returned the phone to Uesugi Kenichi and said...

"They are so pitiful. They are still eating dirt in this day and age. I never thought that people in Africa were still living like this."

Uesugi Kenichi listened and nodded.

"Yeah, I didn't expect it either, Mom. Compared to them, I really feel like we're living too well."

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Reika sighed.

“Sigh, even when your father and I were going through the toughest times, or when I was going through the toughest times, we never lived like this. At most, we would go hungry for two or three days. But I never imagined that they would eat dirt like this. This is really too outrageous.”

Seeing his mother like this, Uesugi Kenichi didn't know what to say.

He thought to himself, "That's why we should cherish the life we ​​have now, because we are in a situation where we are neither rich nor poor."

Kenichi Uesugi felt thirsty, so he picked up the soy milk and took a sip.

Then, after drinking it, Uesugi Kenichi looked at the soy milk in surprise, his eyes widening considerably, and said to his mother.

"Mmm, it's delicious, sweet, but also cool, it's very refreshing."

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Reika smiled and asked.

"Is it good? As long as it's good, I made sure to chill it. Normally, people would drink soy milk at room temperature, but I thought that in this hot weather, it would taste even better if it were chilled like soda."

Uesugi Kenichi looked at his mother with a smile.

He didn't know what to say, he could only say that his mother was too smart. Actually, it was strange, when Uesugi Kenshin looked at the people in the video, he felt that their behavior was not really that stupid.

Why can't that region's population develop?

I don't understand.

Uesugi Kenichi sighed and continued drinking his soy milk, which was ice-cold and incredibly delicious.

At that moment, Uesugi Reika said to him.

"Alright, Qianyi, you go ahead with your work. Mom's going downstairs now."

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kenichi nodded.

"Ah."

Then, he watched his mother leave. After she left, Uesugi Kenichi looked away and stared at the soy milk, drinking it all the way down, before taking another sip.

It tastes so good.

Kenichi Uesugi was in a great mood. In the summer, nothing beats ice water, and thankfully, he was able to have some too.

Thinking this, Uesugi Kenichi took another sip.

Those people who eat dirt, they must also want a sip of ice water on a summer's day, right? Unfortunately, they will never be able to.

Life is indeed regional.

Kenichi Uesugi will never have any contact with their lives, and they will never come to Kenichi Uesugi's city; they will never cross paths.

Chapter 302 Strange Dream

After a comfortable meal and a comfortable sleep, Uesugi Kenichi woke up with a dream before he woke up.

In that dream, Kenichi Uesugi dreamed that he was abandoned by his fans.
