(Thank you to your friend Shi Miao and your friend Liao Wolf for the monthly pass~~)

Every day, the quantum network is changing people's lives, and the crowds on the street almost all bring a small treasure, in fact, the small treasure can exist in the initial state of the bracelet, but no one wants to, rather follow a burden around to dangle around.

When lovers take them for a walk, their little treasure will also hold hands, when the working class goes to squeeze the subway bus, they will have a little treasure sitting on their shoulders, when shopping for groceries, shopping in the supermarket, shopping in the mall, Xiaobao will also provide pertinent advice.

Major online game companies have also launched the Xiaobao version of the popular game in a timely manner, because Xiaobao's 3D holographic projection is very realistic, one after another 3D games have been adapted and launched, and have won countless praises.

The TV station also kept up with the trend and launched a Xiaobao version of the program, and even Xiaobao snack shops appeared on the streets, making snacks with brown crystals and selling them exclusively to Xiaobao for consumption, and it didn't take long for Xiaobao to become an indispensable partner in people's lives.

However, Xiaobao has always adhered to a principle, never working for human beings.

For example, cleaning, tidying up the house, grabbing seats, etc., Xiaobao will never do anything that humans can do, and only provides information consultation and social entertainment services, unless it determines that the host is incapacitated or in danger.

This is set by the central measurement brain, mainly to prevent humans from becoming lazier and lazier.

At 8 p.m. on July 15, the virtual world opens!

To enter the virtual world, you only need to close your eyes, calm down, and communicate with Xiaobao with your heart, Xiaobao will let you enter a strange state similar to deep sleep, and land in the virtual world in a pure conscious way.

This needs to provide people with a very safe landing place, and the virtual lounges in various cities are currently being built, similar to a small compartment of a phone booth, which is unique for you to scan the code to enter, and you can't enter when you enter.

Of course, this is not absolute, there are couples who want to enter the virtual world together, they can go to a double room, and if they want to be together, they can enter a multi-person room, but for now, the safe landing place can only be in their own home.

At eight o'clock sharp, one by one consciousness entered the virtual world.

What is the world like?

Everywhere there are forests and grasslands, boundless, the breeze blows, there is a fresh smell in the air, and the whole world exists in the form of continents.

"Oh, it's beautiful, how do I feel like I'm in a dream?"

"Aren't you just dreaming?"

Countless consciousness bodies gathered in groups of three or five, pointing and pointing.

"What are we going to do next?"

"Look, there's a city ahead, hey, isn't this the city where my house is, let's go over and have a look. “

The consciousness bodies rushed one after another, as if they were light and nothing, and the comfort of running was simply not to mention.

"Look, the guy is flying. ”

Someone ran and ran, and even jumped and glided in the sky.

"Ah, it turns out that I can fly, I'm so stupid, I'm going to fly too!"

Flying requires practice, some people are proficient in a few strokes, soaring in the sky to their heart's content, and some people fly and fall to the ground, very unwilling, can only take off again.

Someone has arrived in the city one after another, the city is empty, except for a pair of frames, nothing, even the streets are loess roads, everyone just entered, will receive a piece of thought, to the effect of: "Welcome to the earth online, this world needs all people to build together, it will get better and better, in order to make people more familiar with this world, the brain control center has set up a series of tasks from low to high, you can go to the city lord's mansion in the center of the city to read and receive, complete the task, there will be a reward!"

Suddenly, the crowd was sensational, turning into countless streamers and flying towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Unlike the empty city, the Lord's Mansion is extremely opulent, with a notice board outside the gate to remind you of the tasks of the newbies.

Go outside the city to cut down 10 cubic meters of timber and excavate 3 cubic meters of granite stone, and after returning to the city lord's mansion to pay the task, you can get the corresponding development rights in the city and complete the next task.

So, a large group of consciousness rushed out again.

Flying and flying, suddenly someone was surprised: "Huh, I don't have tools, can I dig by hand?"

"Yes~~" Everyone expressed their incomprehension.

At this time, someone pointed down: "There is a tool shop down there." ”

The consciousness has dropped, and when they enter the store, they see that there is a dazzling array of everything.

There are saws, axes, hoes, hammers, carts, etc., and the tools are not for sale, only rented, and the price is calculated by the hour, ranging from 1 yuan to 10 yuan.

Someone was not happy, and shouted: "This TMD is really dark, I work, and I have to pay, how can there be such a reason, Lao Tzu is not doing it, without this virtual world, I can't live." “

"Yes, yes!" shouted some of them, turning and leaving.

The rest of the people were also hesitant, the boss was a fat NPC, neither greeting nor paying attention, smiling and lying on the counter.

After a while, a girl came out and said to the boss, "I'll rent a saw, an axe, a hoe and a cart for six hours." ”

"Okay!" The boss crackled for a while, looked up and said: "The saw is one dollar an hour, the axe is two dollars an hour, the hoe is three yuan an hour, and the cart is ten yuan an hour, a total of ninety-six yuan, please pay with your portable treasure." ”

In the virtual world, Xiaobao automatically degenerates into a bracelet, and the girl raises her arm and shakes it at the card reader.

"Tick!" sounded, and the transaction was successful.

The boss stretched out his hand and pointed: "Then, it's there, take it, remember to return it on time, otherwise it will continue to be deducted, and if you don't pay, you will be on the blacklist of the City Lord's Mansion." “

"Well, I see, thank you. The girl put her tools on the cart and walked out.

"I want to ask, why do you have to rent tools, it's very expensive, so much money, even a few nights in it, enough to buy outside. A young man asked.

The girl smiled slightly: "I am in the real world, just an ordinary clerk, only a few thousand yuan a month salary, I have always wanted to change, but how can it be so easy, I lost a lot of money, fortunately I remember that Dr. Qin once said, in the virtual world, whoever builds is who's, I hope to have my own small shop in the virtual world, try it."

By the way, I must point out that this price is not expensive, because the raw materials are not counted with us!"

"Oh!"

Investing in labor now is equivalent to owning property rights in the virtual world, which is a lifelong business.

"Hehe, it's a pity that those people are gone!"

"What's the pity, isn't there less competition with fewer people, come, boss, I want a hoe and a wheelbarrow!"

"I want a saw, an axe, and a wheelbarrow!"

"I want all four!"

At one point, there was a long queue in the tool shop.

Those who rented tools immediately pushed the cart out of the city, or cut down trees, or mined stones, and felt just like the real thing, and when the trees were cut down, they fell with a bang, and they needed to use a saw to cut down useful parts.

The same is true for granite mining, where every hoe is followed by a splash of fire and a small stone being hoeed down.

Although the virtual world is similar to a game, it is more real than the game, and many people are crying out.

There are also people who are idle and bored and try PK, this is a real fight, fists to the flesh, and even some people feel that the fists are not enjoyable, so they pick up hoes and axes and prepare to do it.

At this time, a voice came from the sky: "Although the virtual world does not prohibit PK, but for no reason PK will never be supported, what the Earth Online needs is construction, not destruction, if there is really an unsolvable contradiction in the Earth Online, you can go to the City Lord's Mansion to apply for arbitration, if the City Lord's Mansion can't determine the conclusion, you can go to the PK station PK in the city."

I hope that the next is not an example, if there is another PK for no reason, both sides will be punished, and the serious ones will be kicked out of the earth online, and finally I remind you that since you are all here in a state of consciousness, once you are injured, it will also affect the body outside, so I hope you can do it yourself. “

Those who are ready to do it, they have put down their weapons, there is no conflict and contradiction in itself, the main thing is to have fun fighting, since PK has such serious consequences, then what else to fight, work hard.

But someone asked, "Who are you, God, or is it an NPC here?"

The voice replied: "I am the master of the measuring brain, you can see me as a creature that exists in a special state, my duty is to build this world, the earth is your home, this is my home, the more prosperous this world is, the stronger I will be, unlock more abilities, better serve you outside, and everyone who contributes to the earth online will be duly rewarded." “

Someone else asked, "Can I understand that you have the ability to evolve yourself? So, when you are strong enough, will you control humans? As described in science fiction, artificial intelligence in turn turns humans into slaves." “

"Hehehehe~~" The voice laughed: "In my setting, this is impossible, if I violate this setting, I will self-destruct, there is a high-level, and magical power is restricting me."

Actually, there is no conflict between me and human beings, there is no human being, my existence is meaningless, I need human beings to help me build this world, human beings also need my services, reality belongs to you, illusion belongs to me, we are two parallel lines that affect each other, after the self was created, I and human beings have formed a relationship of both prosperity and loss, do you understand?"

Many people understood and nodded, and there was an unconcealable excitement in their hearts.

Yes, in this world, the measuring brain is equivalent to the gods, and it is not a great honor to help the gods build the world, or what?

"Work, work, and see what the virtual world can eventually become!"

After the measurement brain came forward to explain, everyone's enthusiasm soared, and after a while, someone pushed a cart full of materials back to the city.
