Volume 6: War and Peace in the Black Forest Prologue: Bad Luck
“…”
Is there something wrong with this game? Is it a little too abnormal?
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Li Lin pondered such a serious question. After all, as a former professional player, he definitely had patience, not to mention the quality issue. So he honestly brushed the ruins for two weeks and a half months.
Then nothing was found. He had the Archaeology bonus, the Detective bonus, and spent half a month in a planetary belt that was said to be full of hidden treasures, but nothing was found. Is this wrong? There must be something wrong, right? This can't be explained by luck, right? Did the data get changed secretly or did they think they were too strong and wanted to limit it?
So Li Lin really sent an email to the game company. The game company obviously cared about the big guys in the game, and they replied with a letter in a short time. The words were sincere and the attitude was tactful. The record was probably something like "Dear player, I am your father". In general, the data was fine, definitely no problem. After all, we don't even know if there are any bugs in advanced artificial intelligence, so how do you know there are? You have to be responsible for saying this, right?
What else can I say? Li Lin has already been in prison for ten years. If he is accused of spreading rumors and sent to prison again, he will probably have to box with robot police for the rest of his life. Li Lin doesn't want to live that kind of life.
"…I really have bad luck?"
Really?
Looking at the simulated random numbers displayed on the screen, Li Lin felt that his skin color might become darker.
It seems that what the experts said is right. Playing games does affect perception. Otherwise, why would the person in the mirror feel like an African?
"Let's go out for a walk."
Li Lin sat up from the bed with a whoosh, and after fixing his appearance, he pressed the button for clothing simulation. Because half a month had passed and his hair had grown a little longer, he didn't wear a kimono this time, but what used to be called a small suit.
It was clearly a suit, but why was it called a small suit? Was it because it was not solemn enough? Anyway, it was just a random template. Li Lin pulled the tassels on his body and gave up thinking and walked out directly.
She didn't want to be a stay-at-home, it was just that there was no point in going out.
But now she only eats and sleeps, or plays games. If she continues like this, she will become a useless person sooner or later. She is not one of those prosthetic people who don't have to worry about replacement problems, nor is she one of those tool people who don't have to worry about body shape. It can only be said that natural people do have natural limitations. However, Li Lin still doesn't want to give up this complex perception and emotion. God knows what the touch feels like after the electro-neural signal is converted. Others say it's good, but Li Lin doesn't like to try it.
Unless she is disabled or dying, cutting off a limb while she is still alive and replacing it like a tire is not a good option.
Humming the song that Sally once taught him, Li Lin strolled leisurely along the well-greened street.
From time to time, cyborgs would walk by and talk to each other. Some of them simply beautified their appearance, while others were optimized for specific jobs. For example, a tool man whose palms had become pure interfaces would sit on a bench, chatting with his friends on the electronic screen while transmitting all kinds of data and lines on the other side.
Any technology starts with ease of use, and so do these prosthetics. Just as the initial cause was that an employee was too lazy to scan the code every day and simply implanted the chip under his skin, more and more people have subsequently paid attention to the convenience of this body change. On the one hand, there is the leap in materials science and the rapid development of electronics brought about by aerospace, and on the other hand, there is the human need for skilled work and multitasking. This is completely understandable.
But for Li Lin, it was still a little hard to accept that something that was still science fiction ten years ago suddenly became real after he was in jail. You have to know that when Li Lin first went to jail, opening a consciousness infiltration interface behind the brain was already the most advanced technology. Although it was very mature, it was not widely used. It was just an expensive toy for some people with a lot of money. Prosthetics were also small-scale items that were only circulated among the disabled and those with strong work needs. But ten years later, it became so popular that Li Lin felt that the world was turned upside down.
Ah, when we look at history, the popularity of smartphones was like this, right? Although the Internet was not well developed at that time, and the human technology and industrial production capacity had not reached the level of drastic changes, the speed of popularization was already so fast.
In other words, this is actually a pretty normal development?
Thinking about these random things, Li Lin walked around the street and soon arrived at the commercial gathering place and walked into a gym that looked magnificent.
Obviously, after ten years, the gym has become an exception. After all, there are fewer people, so what is the point of working out? However, the social activities of fitness that were popular at the time have given this place a different meaning.
But this has nothing to do with Li Lin. She just came here to exercise. What else can a natural person do if he wants to maintain a good physique without going to the gym? Isn't he afraid of muscle dissolution and urine soy sauce if he runs around randomly at home? Anyway, Li Lin is rich now, so it's not difficult to apply for a VIP membership . But every time the female coach in charge of him sees him, she will show a subtle expression.
Well, just like now.
"...I said, are you really here to exercise?"
"What else could it be?"
"You're a natural person, why do you come to the gym? Wouldn't it be better to get a prosthetic body as soon as possible?"
"It's because we are natural people that we need to exercise. Otherwise, what do you think a gym is for?"
"That's all old news. This is a social place, a social place. Just like a restaurant or an amusement park. I feel uncomfortable with you being so direct to a person who suddenly comes here to exercise."
"If it can make you feel comfortable, wouldn't it be easy to make money?"
Seeing the dissatisfied look on the female coach's face, Li Lin smiled and threw the VIP card in his hand over and walked into the room.
