"Really, I'm in a virtual world, but I can't even use the item bar." He complained.

"Okay, don't complain, it's quite cute when you hold it like this, haha." Chen Xin joked with a smile.

Chen Xingying looked like she was hesitant to speak.

Afterwards, the two went to watch a movie. A recently released popcorn movie with a racing theme.

"Taoyuan can even restore the real world in this way." Chen Xingying sighed casually.

Chen Xingying just hugged the bear doll and watched the movie.

The scenes and plot of the movie are still entertaining. Chen Xin is amused from time to time and looks very happy.

Chen Xingying noticed that Chen Xin's was placed on the handle of the chair.

Now the two of us are acting as if they are on a date. Can I put my hand on it?

After hesitating for a while, I finally didn't put it up.

So, the movie ended.

"Okay! Let's go back. Auntie made special arrangements this morning to prepare a table of delicious dishes for us to go back for dinner." Chen Xin stood up and said.

"Haha, you are more adaptable than me." Chen Xingying complained.

"You, don't think so much all the time. Now that you're here, learn to enjoy it. After all, I'm just a freeloader." Chen Xin cared so much and even made fun of herself.

"Hmm, okay, let's go back first, it's getting late."

In fact, for a moment, Chen Xingying thought it would be great if this happened in real life.

It's a pity that he couldn't completely deceive himself like this.

Chen Xin seemed to be aware of Chen Xingying's inner thoughts, and then she leaned into his ear and whispered:

"At least, my experience in the past two days is real." Then he walked away quickly.

This behavior made Chen Xingying blush instantly and her mind went blank.

She shook her head to wake herself up. But what Chen Xin said really made her feel a little more real.

Then he strode forward and caught up with Chen Xin.

…

When I got home in the evening, there was another sumptuous dinner.

If the experience of a table of dishes yesterday reminded Chen Xingying of the time when she went to a classmate's house as a guest, then the second consecutive day can be said to be an experience she has never had before.

This is the feeling of going home. I recall that after I entered high school, my grandma was not allowed to come every day because she was old, so she was always at home alone.

Every night I try to get something to eat, either by ordering takeout or simply eating instant noodles for several days. Although I know that everything in front of me is just a product of the virtual world.

"Xiao Xing, what are you doing standing there in a daze? Quickly ask Chen Xin to sit down and eat together."

"Mother" was there urging me.

"Oh okay." Chen Xingying sat down obediently.

Strangely, there is no feeling of violation at all.

There are two more dishes today. "Mother" said that these are southern dishes that she learned to cook temporarily, including chicken and rain. To suit Chenxin's appetite.

"Wow, Auntie, your cooking is really good." Chen Xin ate one of the dishes and praised it sincerely.

"Yeah, thank you. I thought I didn't do it well the first time."

"Mother" smiled from ear to ear.

"Your mother, you are very good at everything, especially cooking. You have been better than others since you were a child."

"Father" said to Chen Xingying.

Chen Xingying didn't know what to say, because like Chen Xin, she also ate "mother's" food the next day.

After dinner, Chen Xin helped her "mother" wash dishes in the kitchen.

Chen Xingying sat next to her "father" who was watching TV in the living room. He had some questions that needed to be confirmed.

"Dad...Dad, I have something to talk to you about." He mustered up the courage to call out.

"What do you want to talk about, son?" Normally returned to his child's luck.

"That's right, what do you think of the Taoyuan system reported in the news?"

The report in the news yesterday mentioned it, so Chen Xingying took the opportunity to ask here.

“That virtual reality system that’s been in the news?”

"Yes, do you think this kind of thing can really be realized with the current level of technology?" Chen Xingying then asked.

"I can't say this, but I heard from colleagues in the system development circle that the development of this system has national strategic significance, so it is not impossible if some cutting-edge technology that has not been disclosed to the public is used.

"

National strategic significance? This is the first time Chen Xingying has heard of it.

"Then have you ever thought about whether, if this project comes to market, people will be unable to distinguish the difference between virtuality and reality in the near future?" Chen Xingying's question was a hint about her current situation.

If the "father" in front of you is an AI created by Taoyuan System, then his answer also represents the answer given by Taoyuan System to a certain extent.

And his real father is also the developer of this system.

"How do you say this..."

"Father" raised his head, closed his eyes and thought for a while.

"Xiaoxing, the birth of any cutting-edge technology is to satisfy human desires and needs. The advent of many products has gradually replaced many foods that humans had to make by themselves. If technology is really used to create something that can satisfy the vast majority of people,

Even if the world of hope is false, there will be people who are not strong-willed or dissatisfied with reality and will regard it as their only world."

It seemed like profound logic, but Chen Xingying understood it.

"You mean, the purpose of developing this Taoyuan system is to prepare people who are at the bottom of the class and have high pressure in life?"

Express your understanding.

"You can say that, but I personally think that if that's all it is, there is no essential difference between it and those easily addictive drugs."

"Father" returns like this.

Unexpectedly, this critical answer was given by Taoyuan. Chen Xingying was slightly surprised.

"Then, what would you do if one day you find that a friend you don't know suddenly comes to your house and claims to have a good relationship with you, but everyone around you except you thinks so that he is indeed your good friend?

?”

For some reason, Chen Xingying suddenly asked a question she didn't originally intend to ask.

"Your question is a bit absurd. How could such a person appear? Unless there is a cognitive or information deviation between you and the people around you."

“Cognitive and information biases?”

"Yes, maybe he is really your friend, but now he has changed beyond recognition. You didn't recognize him at first, and everyone around you knows why he has changed beyond recognition. Or maybe this person who claims to be your friend did this in advance in order to deceive you.
