Chapter 368 Disadvantages of Quantum Entanglement

Chen Yan was shocked by the construction progress of the construction workers. However, in one morning, they had already erected two cement stairs and repaired the windows in Room 304. Only the wall destroyed by the ivy remained to be treated.

.

After returning to the apartment, Messiah seemed to have rested and was able to walk around on her own. She even took the initiative to take on the important task of making lunch. Counting the people in the apartment and the construction team hired by Chen Yan, she would have to cook for more than ten people today.

's lunch.

Chen Yan felt that she must remember something, but she didn't know how much she remembered... In short, she must have part of her sister's memory.

He sent Messiah home and went back to the vegetable market on Walker Street to buy a large amount of ingredients. In the blink of an eye, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon.

Mundane chores, simple as they were, took up an incredible amount of time, and Marina was sorry because she couldn't help and was the only one left in the apartment.

The most important thing is that she has calculated in private that the rent she pays is not enough to live in this apartment.

She has known since she was a child that there is no free kindness in this world, and there is no random favor. In her world view, any kindness without reason is for other reasons.

So she was panicked, especially after Messiah grew up - and this panic reached a new level after seeing the closeness Messiah showed to Chen Yan.

Her daughter is so beautiful. In this city, beautiful girls are very dangerous. It is better to be an ugly girl and still live like a human being.

She told Jack Baldo about her worries, but Jack Baldo always used idiotic excuses like "Chen Yan is a good person, there is no need to worry about rent" to deal with her.

She knew that Jack Baldo was unreliable and that she could only rely on herself - and her daughter, Messiah.

After learning about Messiah's "talent" for cooking, she told the girl before going to bed last night that she wanted to let the girl cook more meals to repay the seemingly harmless landlord for his "nothing"

By "the favor that made her wary.

Messiah was confused at first when she heard her mother's request, but after her mother's insistence, she nodded.

The promise of the Messiah made Marina feel much more relaxed.

Compared with making money, cooking is an easy task, especially in an apartment with a kitchen like this - there is a bread oven, running water, almost brand-new iron pots, and enough coal to burn almost endlessly.

At this time, if there is someone who can cook delicious meals, it can relieve the landlord's hidden anxiety——

Marlena has observed that the landlord is in an awkward situation when it comes to eating. The girl from Yingguo's cooking skills are very sad. In order not to eat the food she cooks, the landlord has to cook every morning and evening.

Buying food to eat outside.

Ingredients are cheap, but processed food is very expensive. If there is someone who can cook, it will not only relieve the landlord from the embarrassing situation, but also leave him a sum of money - although it is not much, but it is definitely not enough

That's a small amount.

In this way, their stay in his house would not be in vain.

Marina carefully planned everything between herself and the Messiah——

After she recovers for a few days, she will be able to work in a textile factory and earn 6 pence a day. If she budgets carefully, this money will be enough to support her and Messiah's living expenses, because the dormitories and meals in the mission school are free.

, she only needs to pay a small amount of money to support the life of the Messiah.

When the time comes, she will find a cheaper apartment and move out, so that she can be far away from this seemingly benevolent landlord——

She had noticed the way he looked at Messiah.

That look was so malicious.

…

Chen Yan was sitting in the hall waiting for lunch, completely unaware of what Malina was thinking.

He discovered something very embarrassing.

Although quantum entanglement allows him to communicate with his quantum clone in the online world anytime and anywhere, he only has one consciousness, and he cannot use it both ways - once he focuses on things in the real world, he cannot allocate part of his energy to the quantum clone.

Likewise, once he focuses on everything he sees in the online world, he has no way to control his body in the real world.

Even when he is highly focused in the online world, he will ignore things happening around him in the real world.

It's like reading a book with full concentration and not feeling hungry even if you are hungry.

‘Am I actually going to practice my ability to use distraction?

This is not a joke!

This is completely different from drawing a circle with your left hand and drawing a circle with your right hand!

If you want to deal with things in two worlds at the same time, you must completely divide your consciousness into two parts and think independently.’

When Chen Yan thought about Wish's warning to him when he used [Quantum Entanglement Channel] before, he felt uneasy.

The wish told him at that time that this kind of supernatural power would probably lead to the independent consciousness of the clone.

He didn't understand what was going on at the time, and it wasn't until he tried it himself that he understood the joints.

'Practice really brings out true knowledge...'

He thought about the consequences of using his consciousness in two parts, so he temporarily gave up the attempt of "dual use of distraction".

If the consciousness is really divided into two parts and the quantum clone has an independent personality, he will really become a clown.

While sitting at the dining table waiting for his meal, he closed his eyes again and returned to the online world.

'When I just turned my attention away from the online world, they were preparing to receive visitors.

Those visitors are all investors in the director's [New Dawn] plan, and they should be some big shots...I don't know if they have left.'

He shuttled back to the building in the online world from the "Solar Eclipse" gateway and hid in a ventilation duct. After a simple search, he easily discovered the scene happening in a small room:

There was a man wearing a saddle crawling in the small room in front of him. Chen Yan had seen that man in the newspaper. He seemed to be one of the members of the Yanan City Council this time.

Next to the man, a girl transformed by a program was holding a spiked whip with arrogant eyes.

'this……'

Chen Yan quickly noticed something.

'But why does this congressman have a face in the real world in the online world?'

'Well... maybe it's because during this test, the directors' programmers did not encrypt the identities of these visitors... Having said that, people in this era may not have the awareness to encrypt identities on the network.

.'

'Or maybe the director wants to trick them. On the surface, they can't see their identities. From my current perspective - the underlying data flow, I can easily identify their identities.'

'This is really...so convenient.'

Apart from this small room, everything in the other rooms is different, and the number of visitors in each room is different.

In a larger room, nine visitors gathered around a large table that had been set up as a battlefield, playing a simulated rules-based battle flag game, shouting and having fun, and it looked really real

It looked like Chen Yan was playing online games for the first time.

‘I can hear their voices, does that mean the guest can already use the microphone?

Being able to play this kind of thing... is not considered [real-time strategy], it can only be said to be a strategy game similar to [board game].

The director knows a lot... He has even created games.

However, judging from the small screens I just saw, it would probably be uncomfortable to play these games.’

Chen Yan continued to look at other small rooms, and there was no longer the same surprise as before.

These small rooms are nothing more than: a chat room with only dialogue but no characters, an entertainment room with various novel ways to play, a game room with large-scale multiplayer board games, and a video room where you can watch operas.

It is worth mentioning the video room. In addition to the operas recorded in the opera house, there are also some small movies that Chen Yan had not expected. Some visitors stayed motionless in the video room, watching one small movie after another.

.

‘Is this what the director relies on to attract investment?’

Chen Yan thought to himself.

'These estimates alone are not enough. The director will definitely give them some advice. Now that there is a server, the director can tell them that they can share everything here, and the sharing is safe and encrypted, among other benefits.

.'

'Those big shots are very skillful speculators. They will definitely realize the value of the Internet. In this way, the director's next round of investment will be guaranteed, and the next round of Internet construction will probably be put on the agenda soon.

.'

'What's the next round of construction?'

'Of course, let civilians have access to the Internet!'

Chen Yan was very excited when he thought of this.

'More than 99% of Yanan City are poor. If the director really wants to launch a wealth equalization campaign to let them use the Internet... that would be so interesting!'

Chen Yan smelled the aroma of rice coming from the real world and calmed down for a moment.

'Probably not. The director himself belongs to a group with vested interests and cannot represent the interests of civilian groups. He will definitely use other methods to promote the Internet.'

'I really look forward to his method. In such a big environment, this kind of plan is simply hellish.'

Chen Yan moved the quantum clone outside the building to a far away place in the pale online world, then regained consciousness and opened his eyes in the real world.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a bowl of hot ramen in front of him!

The heat-dissipating light that appears in the hall at noon gives the ramen a beautiful halo, and around the halo where the ramen is, grilled bacon and thinly sliced ​​tomatoes are placed in sequence.

, and the meat sauce that smells fresh.

He was staring at the bowl of ramen in a daze when Messiah was already sitting next to him holding a small bowl also filled with ramen.

He looked at the girl's expectant eyes and couldn't help but said in Asian language:

"It would be perfect if there were coriander."

After hearing his critical words, the girl was stunned for a moment, and then she didn't show the slightest bit of disappointment, but nodded in agreement.

'She understands Asian languages.'

'She made no secret of the fact that she could understand Asian languages, but she was definitely not a younger sister, because she didn't act like her younger sister... yandere.'

'What the hell is going on...what's going on with her now?'
