If you think about it carefully, Katsuragi Asa's strategy is also a helpless move.
If you configure an implant, you always need a set of the most basic nerve current bundle. The cheapest is 1,000, the expensive is 50,000, or 200,000. It is related to the basis of subsequent implant performance, and it is difficult to replace. Usually the first
It must be prepared in one go.
I myself took out a loan of 100,000 yuan. If she falls into debt, her life will not be easy.
The neural current is configured, what next?
Hydraulic muscles, neural response assistance, adrenaline stimulator, optical scanning eye, joint strengthening, telescopic arm knife, metabolism enhancer, pain shielding device, hearing enhancement, electromagnetic blast protection... There are endless enhancements to the human body, but they all depend on money.
heap.
What's even more ironic is that people can't become stronger as fast as machines. People have implants inserted into their bodies, and then they can almost defeat combat robots of the same price. Then wouldn't it be better to use combat robots from the beginning? Gangsters
The same goes for buying so many mechanical combatants.
Katsuragi Asa will encounter a development bottleneck sooner or later in the future.
What about myself? Xu Yang looked at the stitching marks on the back of his hand. Should I continue to install implants on myself? This thing also has side effects. The more implants there are, the more sensitive they will be to electromagnetic pulses, and subsequent maintenance and replacement will be required.
All require a lot of money.
People who have a large number of implants installed are often called modified people. They rarely die because the implants are planned to be scrapped. Long-term durable implants do not comply with the company's marketing strategy and are always designed to have a limited service life.
Once damaged, customers must purchase or upgrade new implants.
For the company, it improves efficiency, but for individuals, it means endless health risks.
Therefore, Xu Yang is very cautious about further transformation of himself.
Human body enhancement should be a good thing, but corporatism has turned it into a means of drinking poison to quench thirst.
The same goes for other things. When happiness is clearly priced, its essence is dissolved, turning from pure joy into a brief respite from endless drudgery.
Xu Yang took the brewed coffee and took a sip. It tasted good. It was bitter and had an evocative aroma. It had a distinct taste and was refreshing. It was not a cheap product. The boss of the Lijia Group really knew how to enjoy it, but it was a pity that he had bad luck.
, corpse corridor.
With the security system here, he and Farosha, including the eccentric Ye Zi, finally no longer have to rely on others, nor do they have to live on the sympathy of gangsters.
This is a good resting point. Xu Yang looked around, but it won't last forever. We are now trapped at the bottom of the underground. Our first goal is to go to the surface alive, not to stay here, fight against some rat people, or join a gang.
Dog fights between.
He returned to Suzuki Springs.
On the way, Xu Yang looked up and saw that the huge ventilation unit was operating slowly. In the darkness, he could vaguely see the fan blades moving at a slow speed, like a clumsy giant slowly turning behind him.
The surface also provides some power, allowing it to operate slightly, but obviously not smoothly.
If he couldn't leave Aizu Castle as soon as possible and go to the surface, he might suffocate to death underground.
After returning to Suzuki Spring, Xu Yang searched for leaves everywhere. After searching for a long time, he found that they were playing games in the game room on the second floor.
They sit in a game cabin with a translucent glass cover on the front, wearing virtual helmets on their heads. It uses external devices to connect the human spirit with the virtual world, allowing its senses to be overwhelmed by simulated signals, bringing the gaming experience to
A whole new level of simulation.
Falosa definitely couldn't get such a thing, Ye Zi must have helped her debug it.
"Hi-Hi! It's hit!" Ye Zi was very excited, and his voice came from under the helmet, "Be careful, it's coming towards you!"
Farosha remained silent. Xu Yang saw a real-time feedback light effect on the side of the game chamber, which was full of light. Farosha's side kept flashing red, which seemed to be related to the damage in the game.
Immediately afterwards, there was green light and colorful light on its side, as if Falosa had performed some extremely difficult action.
"Why are you so good at playing?" Ye Zi shouted, "That's it! It's dead!"
"If you smash its body into pieces, will it drop legendary materials?"
"It didn't explode this time!"
"Then go find the next one, I haven't killed enough yet."
"Hey, an NPC is here, let's take the mission."
"Can you kill him? His clothes are great."
They were intoxicated. Xu Yang was sitting on the tatami. There were handmade cakes on the low table. He was eating while waiting for them to come out.
Falosa seemed to be uncomfortable with wearing the virtual helmet. After playing for another ten minutes, her body began to twist uneasily.
"How to quit?" she asked, "I want to quit."
"Ah, it's only half way. You still have two-thirds of your blood. Just drink a bottle of medicine and it will be full."
"I don't want to play anymore, I want to leave here."
"Just call up the menu."
"What? How?"
"It's a heads-up display. You raise your neck and a menu will appear in the air."
"No, it flashed for a moment and then disappeared again."
"Oh, it's an old bug. I'll see how to exit using the console. I'll think about the password..."
"Hurry up, hurry up." Falosa seemed anxious.
Xu Yang used his digital mind to connect to Falosa's game chamber and executed the shutdown program. The limiter of the virtual helmet opened and rose upwards, and the densely packed electrode patches and metal probes fell off from Falosa's head.
She looked pale and was covered in sweat from overexcitement.
Ye Zi also turned off her virtual game and turned on her helmet. She looked quite excited.
"Farosha, you played so well!" she said, "It's not like the first time."
"It's...too real." Falosa was extremely weak, Xu Yang walked over and helped her out of the game warehouse.
"It's the truth that makes it interesting." Ye Zi said.
Ye Zi pulled out the data card from the bottom of the game compartment, and Xu Yang glanced at it. It was the deluxe version of "Dimensional Eternal Life". The name was given because the producer was determined to build a virtual world of various forms for players, so that people can stay there all the time.
Live and play, the game is produced by O Star Studio, a subsidiary of Lighthouse Core.
Xu Yang has also heard of this game, which has become a hit in recent years.
The game world of Dimensional Eternal Life is randomly generated by an algorithm. In theory, the map is infinite. All tasks and plots are also written by AI. Every day when you go online, you can encounter all kinds of new adventures designed by AI. You will never feel strange or encounter something new.
to any duplicate content.
"This game is fun." Xu Yang said. Although he has never had the chance to play it, it sounds interesting. You can kill monsters, farm, eat and drink, ride horses and hunt, and lead troops in battle. There are four seasons, natural laws and physics.
The nature is exactly the same as the real world. There are spells and guns. You can also jump to other areas outside the main world, which is endless fun.
"Of course, it's a pity that I have too many games to play, otherwise I would specialize in this." Ye Zi said, "The entire map is shared. Many early players have established their own countries, camps and forces in it, and it is as prosperous as in reality.
There are palace political dramas from various countries being serialized on the forum. However, the signal here is too poor and other players cannot be seen, and downloading new maps is also slow."
"I think you can work and live there," Falosa took a deep breath to calm down her overly excited body and mind, "just like real life."
“But it’s even more exciting,” Ye Zi said. “Everything in the game is visualized. Once you practice your skills, they will level up. If you give gifts to NPCs, they will smile at you. There is a progress bar on your head. You can clearly see who is good and who is bad.
You get what you put in.”
"You can't stay in the game all the time. You have to eat and drink." Xu Yang said.
"This has high technology," Ye Zi was very excited. "It provides a brand new anti-riot function. When we sleep in the game, the helmet will also let us fall into real sleep. If we eat or drink in the game, the game warehouse will be
Nutrient solution is injected into our bodies."
"What should I do if the nutrient solution is not enough?"
"You can consume in-game currency and let the real-life courier company use drones to deliver the nutrient solution to your door and load it into the virtual warehouse."
"That means a lot of people have been in this game all their lives." Xu Yang felt amazing.
I had only heard about it before, but I didn't expect it to be so complicated.
"Of course, there are already tens of millions of people with 'dimensional immortality' in the world." Ye Zi said.
"Perhaps this is the biggest weapon to dismantle corporatism." Xu Yang said, "If everyone goes into the game to produce virtual data, no more consumption, no more marriage, the marriage between husband and wife in the game will never come true."
"It's really possible." Ye Zi said, "It is said that they will collect this and that, and then send it to the other side by ocean courier. They will conceive for ten months in the virtual warehouse, enter the maternity care mode, and finally give birth to the child and send it to the local foster care center."
When this happens, won't it turn into a virtual world where all human beings have tubes inserted into the back of their heads? After all, humans no longer need to be awake.
Maybe this is the ultimate goal of the Lighthouse Core Authorization Studio to develop this game.
The core of Lighthouse is an advanced giant company in the Western Hemisphere. They have the most high-end and mysterious technology among all giant companies. They don't have many employees, but they are one of the most important giants in the company alliance.
Falosa looked back at the game warehouse with lingering fear.
"It's so amazing," Falosha said, "The game... is more terrifying than the highest level illusions of wizards. I feel varying degrees of pain, ecstasy and sorrow. The grass under my feet and the breeze blowing on my face are all so real.
, I don’t feel fake at all, but I don’t even feel a little bit in control, but I enjoy it.”
"You seem to be having fun killing in the game." Xu Yang said.
"It would be nice if I could use magic in the game, but unfortunately I can't." Falosa showed a strange smile. "It seems that the so-called 'game' is for human beings after all, and is not for the enjoyment of witches."
"If you like playing games, it means you have fallen into the illusion. Its name is 'addiction'. Fortunately, you can still distinguish right from wrong and return to reality."
"What is 'addiction'?" Ye Zi was dissatisfied. "Playing games is a very legitimate need. And she plays particularly well."
"Me? I played well?" Falosa was curious.
"Of course, your reaction speed is too fast, and you... have you memorized all the spells? You are so fast. Although I have practiced magic for 1,400 hours in the game, I feel that I can't memorize the spells as fast as you."
"My first time playing."
"It means you are a gaming genius." Xu Yang said, "And Ye Zi is just a gaming geek."
"Do you play games?" Ye Zi was a little angry, "Do you know how to play this game?"
Xu Yang observed the game warehouse. If the server data is modified using the digital mind, it will be equivalent to a built-in modifier. The game will become invincible at the beginning and can bully whoever it wants.
"Playing games aside," he said, "I have great news for you."
