Chapter 122: The Cinema in the City of the Future

"So where is this Crown Garden?" Wang Xuanjun asked.

"The garden before the Tower of Babel, where the mayor is located, is also the only way to the Tower of Babel." Betty replied.

"Oh, the Imperial Garden." Chen Xingying summed it up in three simple words.

"If invitations are one of the main goals, what is likely to happen next?" Xiaoyu said with a serious face.

"Chances are, in this Crown Garden, it's a gathering between players." Chen Xingying confirmed.

That's right, maybe it's a mode of gathering clues and eventually going to the decisive battle.

Chen Xingying feels that the bionic chip taken from the Salvation Society will become the key to victory or defeat.

"Then tomorrow morning, you will continue to meet with us to participate in this carnival." The two squads confirmed each other that the alliance was unbreakable.

"So what are we going to do next?" Xiaopeng raised his head and said.

"You don't have to stay here for 12 hours, do you? Or simply offline? Then he asked.

"Sister Betty, is there any fun place to take us in Uptown?" Xiao Chu pinned his hopes on Betty.

"Ah, if you go uptown, there are naturally many places to entertain, but we are not qualified to go." Betty went straight back.

"Why?" Wang Xuanjun asked.

"Because, only people from Uptown can go to these entertainment venues." Betty then replied.

"Oh, so the civilians aren't qualified to have fun here, which is really infuriating." Although from Wang Xuanjun's expression, he couldn't tell how much fire there was.

"Hehe, the son of the richest man is actually the first time he has been rejected because of his identity." Xiaopeng teased Wang Xuanjun.

"Cut, come on, I don't bother to go to these high-class places. Lao Tzu also plays in the real world. Wang Xuanjun replied in a non-gimmicky tone.

Indeed, in any case, this is the world and there are no such outrageous rules... To be precise, there is no limit to an entire area like this.

"Hmm... By the way, I'll ask Kelly, maybe she knows where. ”

Betty then called Ms. Kelly.

"Oh that's right, I didn't use any of the several movie tickets issued by the community last time. You just take a little bit and go to a movie, and the movie theater only looks at the ticket and doesn't check your identity. ”

So Kelly sent all the ticket information to Betty.

"So let's go to the movies." Betty said.

"Movies? Anyway, what is the way you don't watch movies like this? Chen Xingying asked.

"Watching a movie is about bringing you into a scene, and then changing scenes with the development of the story or the perspective of the protagonist."

Betty's understatement is enough to see that it is not the same thing as the movies they usually watch, at least not a form of expression.

"Isn't this just a VR movie... Or rather, our Taoyuan system. Chen Xin whispered in Chen Xingying's ear.

"That's right, in essence, the Taoyuan system is a more advanced VR movie." Chen Xingying nodded in agreement.

Experience VR movies in a holographic (VR) world. What a strange experience it is... But it's already here, so I have to go and see, and pass the time by the way.

However, Xiaopeng and their rented car can't swagger out for the time being, although there is no time limit for their team in Shangcheng District.

"Take a taxi, you have money anyway." Betty suggested.

Officially by walking through this Jiangnan water town-style street... I have to say that the restored smell is quite strong, that is, compared with the real water town, the shops on both sides seem to be a little more upscale.

Chen Xingying looked at Chen Xin, thinking in her heart that it was a pity that she was wearing modern clothes, if she changed back to the set of the Immortal Sword Tribulation, there would definitely be no sense of disobedience.

"What's wrong, Professor? Stared at me for a long time. Chen Xin said.

"Ahh It's nothing! Chen Xingying withdrew her gaze, and she didn't know when she was able to stare at her without taboo.

"By the way, why do you always call Professor Chen Xingying?" Betty finally asked this question on the third day of their relationship.

"I'll do this!" Xiao Chu used a very fast speed of speech to explain the origin of the title to Betty.

"Oh, that's a bit like an honorific title. But I always feel that it is not appropriate for you to call your little brother professor, obviously a child. Betty complained directly after hearing this.

"No matter, anyway, my name is Master." Xiao Chu seemed to be very proud.

But... The title of Master and Professor are half a pound and eight taels... Chen Xingying complained secretly.

Led by Betty, the group arrives at a floating platform that is said to be a taxi call, which looks similar to a parking space, except for an additional operating station.

"I look, we're still seven people." Then enter the number of people on the laser screen and press confirm.

Only a minute later, a taxi of the same model as the car Xiaopeng and the others rented.

When everyone got on the bus, the interior was very clean, with a bottle of drinking water next to each seat and a laser screen with advertisements in front of it (just like in the real world).

"Greetings, dear guests! Express Taxi is at your service! Please tell me where you are going. The driver's shrill voice was heard. Needless to say, the taxi driver is a android.

"Viking Street Cinema." Betty went straight back.

"Get to know the guests! Then please enjoy this flight that I brought to you. After saying that, the driver started the car smoothly.

"Viking Street... What a sentimental way of naming. Chen Xingying mentioned.

"Well, all the streets in Uptown are named after civilizations that have existed throughout history. It should be the mayor's personal hobby. And for those who are familiar with ancient history, it is easy to distinguish the direction according to these names. Betty explained.

Indeed, according to the geographical distribution of these civilizations on the world map... For example, Chinatown, where they were just now, is on the east side of Uptown. It's really convenient.

After about half an hour's drive, the taxi took you to your destination.

"Your destination has arrived safely, pay attention to what you bring with you when you get off the bus, remember to give a good review!" As soon as the formulaic language was finished, the taxi door opened automatically.

After paying, everyone got out of the car, and there was a movie theater in front of them, although it looked futuristic on the outside, but it always felt that there was no big structural difference from the real world movie theater.

"The love of life and death for androids." Chen Xin looked at the largest banner and poster outside the movie theater and read out the name of the movie.

"Oh, it's a new movie that came out recently. It is said to be a sadomasochistic relationship between humans and androids, and it is very controversial, with many positive and negative reviews. Betty explained.

"Then look at this." Chen Xingying is very interested in movies on such sensitive topics, and naturally does not want to miss this future worldview.

The others didn't have any opinions, after all, they didn't have any other ideas.

With the movie tickets given by Kelly, everyone came to the screening room. Surprisingly, the screening room was a relatively small room, and there were only ten seats in it, and there were no other audience members except the seven of them.

"It's a private theater, right?" Wang Xuanjun complained.

"Private theater?" Betty had never heard of the term, "The movie theaters in Uptown are full of private rooms like this, isn't that what your VIP world looks like?" Then he asked.

"Well, our cinema is a hall that can accommodate hundreds of people, and it has a big screen, and every time a big-budget movie premieres, it's full." Xiaoyu stepped forward and answered her.

"Oh, isn't that a retro theater? These were the forms of the ancient cinema 300 years ago, which I saw in museums as a child and experienced once. Betty suddenly realized.

"Although... Holographic cinema is indeed the mainstream of the future. Chen Xingying only muttered so.

Ten minutes before the start of the movie, Betty, who was already sitting in her seat, suddenly jumped:

"Oops, how did I forget this."

With that, he hurriedly walked out. Everyone looked at her with bewildered expressions.

But after a while, she walked in again, holding four things that resembled popcorn buckets in her hands, and by the way, a waiter brother with the same thing in her hands.

"There's no one here, since you can't watch a movie without snacks, little brother do me a favor and send it!" Just like an elementary school teacher, deliver every snack to everyone's hands.

Chen Xingying took it in her hand and glanced inside, it was not popcorn or something like puffed food.

Xiao Chu couldn't wait to take one and put it in his mouth.

"Well, it's delicious!" Then I ate several more in quick succession.

Can it be delicious just as a snack? Chen Xingying was puzzled and took one and put it in her mouth... Sure, this is also a synthetic food, and the delicious flavors of various other snacks converge on this bite.

By the way, there are several drinks on the side of each seat, so I guess the audience can choose at will.

The lights in the screening room are all turned off and the movie begins... At the same time, the already dark space suddenly lit up. Cool lights shine and come to the accompaniment of passion. It was as if they were sitting in their position and suddenly taken somewhere else.

"Wow, the opening is so cool!" Xiaopeng exclaimed.

After a brilliant performance, the screen appeared: Babel Film and Television Company presented it.

"What... It turned out to be an opening producer's animation. Everyone complained.

And so the movie officially began, first showing the names of the producer and the main actors around the perimeter, and then the plot began to unfold.

The process is actually no different from a normal movie, except that during the movie, you can look around at will, and even stand up and walk closer, and carefully observe the tiny things.

This sense of presence is not quite the same as being in the Taoyuan system, after all, you are not personally involved, you just watch things unfold... The simple metaphor is as if the gods in the sky are observing the people of the world.
