Let time rewind a little.
Star Moon City
Earth Surface City.
On a certain street.
In a very ordinary shop.
An unbelievable thing happened in a completely unremarkable way.
"Mr. Kade, could you please settle the bill?"
"Okay, let me see."
A mechanical arm descended from the ceiling, rummaging through the shopping basket for a while.
"WeChat number 9557 processor, second-hand;
Five alloy bolts;
Brainwave sensor, ah, this is an obsolete item, sometimes it causes seizures, so I'll give it to you cheap;
And a — duck? Alive? Ah, are you sure you want this duck?"
During the questioning, the old man behind the counter poked his head out and glanced at the duck.
Duck.
Where did the duck come from?
The calm voice of the girl sounded:
"I heard ducks are good food — in the Ancient Era people ate such creatures, so I wanted to buy one to try."
"Mr. Kade, please calculate the bill."
The old man immediately dismissed his doubts.
