No Man's Sky: One Hundred Years of Solitude Chapter 13: Encounter in a small shop
'Okay! It worked! It's perfect!'
Seeing the passers-by outside glance at him and then show an expression of sudden enlightenment, Li Lin gave himself a thumbs up in his heart and secretly hated himself for not thinking of this prop earlier.
In fact, in this world, your real face doesn't matter anymore. It's better to say that if you really show your real face, people will be shocked, right? It's normal for people to pursue beauty, so it's normal for you to dress up casually or take out something to disassemble and modify it. You can see that white-haired and red-haired people walking on the street are all normal.
In other words, the reason why Li Lin caused a sensation was not simply because of his identity as a natural person, but because he was really a natural person. There were no small decorations on his body, no special filters, no molecular materials or built-in camouflage structures, but a real natural person, 100% pure and original, without any external accessories, which caused a sensation. Now with such a disguise, other people just looked at him strangely at most, and then went about their own business.
Although there are few natural people, there are definitely some. Many natural people with external machinery or internal power reactors and other devices are living in this world. What is really rare is the pure and original 100% natural person.
Just like in the past, if an ancient person appeared who spoke 100% ancient language and behaved in a very ancient style, he would also attract onlookers.
After figuring this out, Li Lin was so happy that he liked everything.
What does this mean? It means that he just needs to pay a little attention in the future! It has nothing to do with anything else. As long as he pays a little attention and integrates into the social environment here, he can live his life freely again.
He was just complaining about himself from the beginning to the end. Well, no one would specifically target anyone. As long as you think that this is actually the inevitability of technological progress, there is basically no problem. As long as you cover your face a little and tinker with it, there is basically no big problem. This is all very normal.
"Oh no, no, I need to go shopping."
Li Lin shook his head and walked into the shopping mall he had been to before.
Compared to the stores and malls we used to remember, today’s stores obviously have some elements that we used to think of as science fiction. Most of the things inside are projected, and you can feel the texture through prosthetics or interfaces.
Although he is not a prosthetic person, Li Lin's brain interface is still there, and it has been modified with the latest modern features. Basically, all functions can be used. Just a slight touch can clearly feel the quality of the object and smell the smell inside. For the technology of manipulating brain nerves and telomeres, all this is not big news. It is more like ordinary.
However, Li Lin is not only an African, but also has a problem with making choices. He has no idea what to do when he sees two similar things. Especially when he can touch and try them, Li Lin's petty-mindedness comes out. Although he knows that he can just buy all these things, Li Lin still doesn't want to waste too much money. It's better to spend that money on krypton gold, so he feels a dilemma when he sees two items with similar prices and functions.
At this time, the robot coming down from the stairs seemed to notice this situation. It floated over via its own magnetic levitation device, and a friendly smile appeared on its anthropomorphic face.
"Citizen, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Oh, nothing, thank you."
I can choose it myself.
Facing the servant machine that came up to him, Li Lin spoke in a friendly manner with a slightly awkward smile.
But the robot did not appreciate it. Instead, it showed a slightly serious expression and said to Li Lin in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:
"Citizen, are you imitating this character and performing? If so, I suggest that you show a cold and distant expression, so that you can perfectly reflect the essence and connotation of this character."
“…Huh?”
You robots still manage this?
Ignoring the shocked expression on Li Lin's face, the robot stood in front of Li Lin with its hands behind its back and its head held high. The electronic synthesized voice contained words that were unquestionable or completely logically correct.
"As a legal business, the cosplay industry now has corresponding rules and regulations. If you are an amateur cosplayer, please mark your identity as 'trying it out'. If you are a professional cosplayer, please show your professional level. This profession has given many people hope and dreams. I hope you have the ethics and standards of a professional cosplayer and don't do anything out of line. Doing so will not only cause unnecessary trouble to you, but will also hurt those who support you."
"Ah? Oh, I just want to have fun, not seriously. How can we make it a trial run?"
“You just have to think about it in your mind.”
"oh oh……"
I'm really sorry.
Li Lin was startled, and then he responded repeatedly, thinking for a moment that he was in the state of trial. As expected, the three words "trial" appeared on the pure white and elegant kimono, which were not conspicuous but definitely could not be ignored.
"Thank you for your cooperation and wish you a happy shopping."
"oh……"
At this time, the robot showed a satisfied expression, bowed to Li Lin, and then floated to another place to check the supplies. It looked almost the same as a serious and responsible human. The others did not show any special thoughts, only Li Lin stared at the background of the robot in a daze, thinking about a mess of emotions in his heart.
"Isn't he really any different from a normal person?"
Or is it that I haven’t met enough people?
Looking at the robot's meticulous appearance, Li Lin recalled the other self in the game who could make him furious, and he sincerely admired the programmers, engineers, and scientists who invented these things.
At least Li Lin, who only knows how to play, can't figure out how these things work and what algorithms are used to calculate them. However, those professionals always show a happy expression and tell you clearly. Li Lin still has a sense of awe for these people. Thinking of this , he was less willing to continue shopping.
'Let's go back after shopping.'
Li Lin thought secretly after looking at the products on the screens around him.
