Chapter 106
Zhang Cishun’s footsteps paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
The bar on the 13th floor is just as X introduced before. As soon as you enter the door, you are directly greeted by the lobby. The lighting in the hall is gentle, not like the color of the bar in my memory. Familiar and unfamiliar faces to them were in every corner of the hall.
Zhang Cishun has a very good memory. At least during the few days he was in the team, he basically paid attention to what he could see and remember, not only the people in the car he was in, but also the people in other teams.
Directly opposite them was an oval bar with a few people sitting scattered in front of the bar. The bartender inside was not the kind of bartender that Zhang Cishun intuitively understood.
But a...
"Robot?" Jing Shuo's eyes lit up.
He really likes this kind of mechanical things, otherwise he wouldn't have worked hard in this area at such a young age. Especially in City No. 88, a place where knowledge is closed off.
The robot at the bar was dressed in a formal suit, and the clothes were very decent. Even though he was not a real life form, he still showed a temperament similar to that of a gentleman butler.
It has no simulated skin, and all that is exposed is bare steel. The only thing that is very different and eye-catching is the position of its brain.
It was a transparent cover, and there were countless star points drifting under the cover, like electron clouds, extremely gorgeous and beautiful.
In the queue of five people, Jing Yan showed an inexplicable happiness, and his body was ready to move, as if he was ready to beat to the beat of the music.
She took a few steps forward, ignoring that her hand was still being held by Wen Yan, and approached Jing Shuo, tugging at his clothes.
"Brother,"
she said.
Jing Shuo seemed to be startled, and turned to look over, only to meet Jing Shuo's smiling eyes.
"It's so happy here, let's go play!"
To Jing Yan, Jing Shuo is different, not only because his ability can suppress his own abilities, but also because he can't see through it. But even though she couldn't see through it, she could still feel that Jing Shuo had no ill intentions toward her, but only helplessness and a well-hidden irritability that was occasionally provoked.
This makes her very dependent and enjoys this feeling.
Compared with Jing Yan, she seemed much more cautious. She looked at the wine glasses in the hands of the people here, smelled the fragrance in the air, and wiped her hands on her body to wipe away the slight sweat.
"Um..." He muttered again, as if he was considering something: "We don't seem to have money."
Yes.
No money.
But it can't be said that there is none. If they are willing to carry out barter transactions, they can still come up with something.
"Call me by my name, brother or uncle." Zhang Cishun said.
"Oh oh oh." He nodded again. This was what she was hesitating about just now, because she didn't know yet what to call Zhang Cishun. From what she has observed in the past few days, this team is extremely weird.
Taking the title as an example, apart from Wen Yan, I have never seen anyone else called this name, and I don't even use any title. At this point, Jing Shuo was particularly obvious. When he was communicating with Zhang Cishun, they usually looked at each other and then went straight to the topic. Sometimes even a look is not needed.
The same goes for Zhang Cishun, who never calls Jing Shuo by title, and rarely even calls him by his name.
She originally planned to follow Jing Shuo and learn how to call him, but Jing Shuo didn't give her a chance!
"If you want money... follow me." Wen Yan patted Jing Yan's hand again and again, and then squeezed Jing Yan's hand tighter. This little kid has been getting stronger and stronger lately.
Wen Yan passed by Zhang Cishun and led the team forward instead of the latter. Zhang Cishun did not object, but followed him.
It has to be said that for those who are qualified, to a certain extent, no matter what the circumstances, it is much more convenient to release and hide their abilities. At least they do not need to use their eyes like when they are liberating their core abilities. A very eye-catching sign will appear.
In this city No. 114, fusion person is obviously an unfamiliar term, and Zhang Cishun is not prepared to take the initiative to expose anything. Originally, he planned to make Wen Yan work hard during this period, but now that the other party took the initiative, he was naturally very relaxed. I just don't know...if Wen Yan is using her ability on herself again.
But that's not important.
Wen Yan walked to the bar with ease and sat down in front of the robot bartender. Then he tilted his head to indicate to them, then pulled Jing Yan up and put him on a chair.
"Two glasses of wine and three bottles of drinks. You can have whatever you want." Wen Yan said.
"Okay." The robot bartender bowed slightly, and his movements began to speed up. In a short time, five drinks were pushed to several people.
Naturally, she prepared the wine for herself and Zhang Cishun, and the three bottles of drinks were for the remaining three people.
"Prepare five more oasis cores for us." Wen Yan took a sip of wine and said.
"Okay." The bartender responded, but made no other move.
But not long after, a waiter walked over from another direction in the bar. The waiter held a tray in his hand. When he walked to Zhang Cishun and the others, he stretched out his hand to lift the cover on the tray and placed the five neatly arranged items inside. An oasis core was placed in front of them.
"Your core, I wish you a happy game." The waiter said, then bowed and left.
No sloppiness.
At this time, the bartender came back and asked, "Do you need me to explain it to you?"
"Not yet, I'll call you later." Wen Yan rejected him.
Then, she picked up an oasis core and handed it to Zhang Ci, who was savoring the taste of the drink.
"The next thing should be what you are good at." She said.
Zhang Cishun glanced at her, and finally his eyes fell on the core. One hand held the wine glass and the other took it.
The core of the Oasis is not big, square and not too thick. It is like a thick sticker. It has a very delicate packaging on the outside. It is not difficult to use. Just peel off the glued side. Just open it, and after tearing it open, fine contact points will be exposed inside, and then you can stick it to your body.
Think of it as a different kind of watch. In other words, it is a watch, a watch that belongs exclusively to City 114. After Zhang Cishun glanced at the description data about it on the system panel, he put down the wine glass, tore off the thin layer of the encapsulated side, turned his neck slightly, and pressed it towards it.
As a core, it is in a sense more refined than the No. 88 watch, but its functionality is greatly reduced. It only has two functions. One is activation and activation based on the human body's bioelectricity, and the second function is data exchange.
After Zhang Cishun attached it, he closed his eyes. After waiting for the activation to be completed, his consciousness instantly intervened along the information flow generated by its data exchange.
In the virtual space, it represents the wealth value owned by Zhang Cishun, which is called credit points in City No. 88 and Oasis Coins in City No. 114. The value starts from zero and increases rapidly upwards!
Of course, in order to prevent the information self-checking mechanism of City 114 from detecting problems, Zhang Cishun did not create wealth out of thin air, but transferred a trivial Oasis Coin in everyone's account to himself through everyone's 'account' in the account.
It's troublesome, but relatively safe.
While watching the Oasis Coin in his account maintain a high-frequency and low-value increase, Zhang Cishun didn't know why, but suddenly remembered a movie he had watched a long, long, long, long time ago.
It seems to be called the penny thief.
That story tells the story of a bank clerk who transferred a penny from each account into his own account and eventually became a multimillionaire.
At that time, I felt that this story was nonsense, because it was impossible to achieve due to human efficiency reasons and regulatory mechanisms. But now, Zhang Cishun relied on the power of his core to do it.
"Done."
After a long time, Zhang Cishun opened his eyes.
Wen Yan nodded. Then he called the bartender over.
"Check out."
Zhang Cishun was already ready to pay, but when the bartender came over, he did not charge them Oasis coins, but said: "This should be your first time visiting City 114. According to the According to the rules of City No. 114, all people who enter this city for the first time are free of charge for all purchases on the first day. So... you do not need to pay for this order. In addition... I wish you a happy game." "All purchases on the first day are
free
? Is City No. 114 so rich in resources?" Jing Shuo asked.
He never thought that the pie falling from the sky was edible. After experiencing everything in City No. 88, he felt that he should have the most basic vigilance.
What era is it now? The end of the world! And what is most important in the last days?
Nature is a resource! No one does not need resources, and no city does not need resources. There may be cities richer than No. 88, but no matter how rich they are, they shouldn't be like City No. 114 and set up such outrageous rules of conduct in his opinion, right?
Did the people in power in City 114 never consider how big an impact it would have on City 114 if this news spread? It will definitely attract people from the wilderness to come, even for the free consumption on that day.
Jing Shuo's doubts exist objectively. But Zhang Cishun is more concerned about another point.
"Why did he wish me a happy game?"
The question only arose in Zhang Cishun's mind, but Wen Yan seemed to have a tacit understanding and raised his finger to point at the screen in the lobby.
Zhang Cishun looked sideways.
There was an extremely realistic image on the screen. Zhang Cishun guessed it was some kind of speeding movie. But the plot seems a bit boring, or there is no plot at all. It's like the Grand Theft Auto that drives around and speeds on the streets without doing any tasks at all.
Until the picture on the video flipped violently due to a violent impact, the picture instantly darkened.
"The score of this game: 47. Please keep up the good work."
"The current highest score on the record list: 98 points. Record creator: Play while playing."
The text that seemed to be a summary popped up, disappeared after a few seconds, and the screen changed to the most How it started.
"This is a game screen. And it's real-time!" Zhang Cishun didn't pay attention before, but now he used his right hand in front of his eyes and rubbed his temples to release his abilities.
Core Force captured the data flow coming from a room further back in the bar. The image in front of me is just a projection of the game played by the people in that room.
"City 114 is a city that prefers pleasure. You must know better than me how developed and huge the network here is. In order to avoid the pain and torture of the real world, people choose to dive deep into the game to gain happiness. To paralyze themselves.
They created an extremely huge game world, in which people can get everything they want without having to care about the troubles in the real world. Oasis Coin is a product of the virtual world, and it is their product in the virtual world. It is a bargaining chip for transactions in the game. However, as time goes by, Oasis Coin is gradually not limited to transactions in the game. It also begins to spread to the real world, replacing the original currency system and forming a new one. Currency."
"Their so-called free purchase on the first day is a means of attracting people. As long as you are in this city No. 114, you will inevitably be exposed to the games of this city. When the first day has passed, those who have arrived are still If they want to enjoy everything here, they must enter the game world and obtain oasis coins to support their lives through various game tasks or other various methods." Wen Yan's voice
sounded She didn't say good or bad, she was just stating a fact very plainly.
She spoke in a gentle voice, raised the wine glass in her hand to her eyes, looked through the glass, through the wine, and finally fell on the bartender at the bar.
"There is one more thing that I can't understand. No... it should be a group of more things."
Zhang Cishun digested the information Wen Yan brought.
Jing Shuo was also thoughtful, even frowning gradually.
Then again, I can understand but not understand, so how can I know? Didn’t they just arrive in City No. 114? Did I faint? Have you been dizzy for several days?
Zhang Cishun and the others never blocked anything in front of Youyou, but they never explained anything to Youyou in detail, which led to her current situation.
Jing Yan, on the other hand, didn't care. He drank until the drink in his cup reached the bottom, and even quietly reached out to grab Jing Shuo's cup.
Of course Jing Shuo saw her little move, but didn't say anything. To him, as long as she doesn't misuse her qualified abilities, these things are nothing.
"According to you, this city No. 114 is full of hedonistic and escapist people?" Jing Shuo said.
"Most of them are, but some are not. In short, I don't know how to explain it to you." Wen Yan took a long breath: "City 114 has a considerable burden on my ability as a qualified person, and a small number of them Partly it's the robots. I can't see them as clearly as a garbage truck. And secondly it's the people who are immersed in the game world. When I try to get information from them, the vast majority of the feedback is It’s based on information from the game world, and it’s very confusing. That’s why I didn’t say more.”
