Volume 7: War and Peace in an Abandoned Town Chapter 1 Excellent Citizens
"Would you like some coffee?"
Li Lin stepped aside to let the two big guys go in and check, then he turned around and walked into the kitchen, asking a question without hope. Then he got a negative answer like a formula. Although he knew there would be such a response, Li Lin always felt that if he didn't ask this question, he would feel like he was missing something, or that those "people" were missing something.
Li Lin still stubbornly called these social workers "people". Coming back from the old times, he still couldn't get used to seeing these social workers as real machines. Although the beautiful therapist claimed that there was an essential difference, Li Lin couldn't tell the difference.
Maybe he needed a prosthetic body? Maybe he needed some portable equipment? Li Lin couldn't tell, but it didn't matter.
Just treat him as a living person and he won’t give you any less meat. It’s always better to be polite.
The work of social workers is mechanical and stiff, and they look like robots. His fingers showed an excuse and inserted into the game console and network mapper, and layers of data streams flashed in his eyes, and then he showed an expression of understanding.
Another social worker soon opened the computer he carried with him, and layers of data were fed back on the data on it. These social workers did not seem to have any intention of hiding anything, and Li Lin soon saw his code and the data bar indicating his mental readings. The stable green and large-scale growth bar indicated that Li Lin's peaceful life and mentality had not been disrupted by anything.
He has always been able to distinguish between games and reality, and this is what the government wants.
"The examination proves that citizen Li Lin has no mental problems at all, has good behavioral qualities, and is not in any state of immersion or other conditions. Now he will be given the authority to be commended as an outstanding citizen. Most areas of the city will be open to you. I wish you a happy life."
“I’ve always been quite curious.”
Looking at the two big guys in front of him, Li Lin asked curiously:
"I just play games at home and go shopping occasionally. How do you judge that I am an excellent citizen?"
"Because your mental will has been shaken very little, you have not made any negative conclusions or thoughts, and your behavior outside is also positive, without any complaints or slander. Moreover, after ten years in prison, you have actively integrated into society, behaved properly and responsibly, and often helped others answer their questions, so the system believes that your behavior is enough to be called an excellent citizen."
"Well, does this really have nothing to do with the original ten years? How were the ten years calculated?"
"Due to a system malfunction that led to a misjudgment, your ten-year records are all defaulted to excellent. Starting from now, you have ten years of excellent citizenship qualifications, and now you have first-order permissions. I hope you can continue to maintain it."
"I just said...Okay, I'm fine now, you can go."
"Okay, it's a pleasure to serve the fine citizens."
Since becoming an outstanding citizen, even his attitude has changed. The two strong men bowed respectfully and quietly left the room. They also closed the door considerately and pointed out the measures taken by the police station to protect outstanding citizens.
Perhaps this is why modern people can distinguish AI from humans? They will show completely different attitudes towards humans with different permissions, rather than distinguishing by your appearance. In a way, these AIs may be more snobbish than those so-called snobs. After all, they only recognize permissions, not people.
But this is also a good thing. After all, if you recognize someone, more disgusting things may happen.
"Go out."
Still wearing the same star-studded outfit, Li Lin walked out of the room and prepared to go to the gym.
On the streets, you can still see all kinds of strange humanoid creatures, some of whom have been transformed into prosthetic bodies and have even reached a height of five meters. There are also some performance artists who often create twisted and deformed human bodies, performing their art on the streets and alleys, bringing all kinds of surprises and horrors to all kinds of people.
Li Lin had no aesthetic taste for art. All he could do was to avoid those who he considered to be mentally ill and crazy, and run along the road to the VIP area to the gym, where he continued to work on his little remaining muscle and fat.
However, after the exercise was over, Li Lin did not see any familiar people passing by outside or inside.
Strictly speaking, there are no people.
After all, it is a high-end place and it is impossible for it to be crowded every day. Even if the boss's son is an acquaintance, you can't expect to meet him every time.
After chatting with the fitness coach for a while, Li Lin returned home with a tired body, took a bath and had a good sleep. When he woke up, he stared at the dark night outside in a daze. He always felt that his life was a bit mechanical, but he was powerless.
In reality, I always have so many things that are not satisfactory, even if I have become a so-called outstanding citizen. I don't have any career, no job, and I have a lot of money, but I don't want to do anything earth-shattering. Li Lin sat on the bed for a while and then lay down on the soft bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Staring at something for too long will make you feel a little distorted. And this has become some kind of great pleasure. Li Lin looks at the ceiling that gradually changes in his vision or intention as some kind of simple entertainment. Then it took a long time before he realized that his behavior was simply meaningless. With such a long time to spare, he might as well just go play in the game. It just so happened that after learning the skill of Apocalypse, he hardly used it.
“…Let’s play some games.”
Li Lin jumped up from the bed, patted his cheeks, and lay down on the gaming recliner.
The warmth that seemed to sink into the dark ocean once again enveloped his consciousness, and then was delivered back to the depths of his consciousness, and then projected out once again, as if it had floated to the surface from the deep sea.
Slowly opening his eyes, the familiar ceiling once again came into Li Lin's sight. Just by looking at the delicate and exquisite patterns on it, Li Lin could feel how much effort the craftsmen had put into making this building. And this was just the tip of the iceberg of this huge and exquisite building. As if sensing Li Lin's awakening, the girl who had been waiting beside him quickly came over and smiled.
"My Lord, are you awake?"
"Yeah, I'm awake."
Shaking his head, Li Lin stretched and sat up from the bed.
