Romance in the digital age
"You're so old, it's time to think about life events. Mom arranged a few blind dates for you......"
"I'm not going."
"Obedient, mom is all for your good."
It sounds like this is just an ordinary parent urging their children to get married.
However, as long as you look at the person who is being urged to marry, you will understand that times have changed:
"I'm out of body and want to get married?" A grumbling voice rang out from the speakers on the living room wall: "Please let me rest......"
"Isn't it possible for artificial intelligence to get married now?" The gray-haired woman sat on the sofa and looked at the humanoid holographic projection in the center of the living room: "Son, you are also a celebrity now, it's easy to find a partner, right?" β
"But I don't want to ......," the coach sighed.
As one of the strongest players in the history of brain imaging games, and also the coach of the original "pioneers", it can be said that the esports industry is very popular, with various advertisements and game invitations every day.
Even such successful people cannot escape the "torture" of their parents.
"The evening game is about to start, I'll go first."
The coach casually found an excuse and quickly left the LAN at home. contacted his old friend, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he directly began to complain:
"Which idiot invented AI marriage?"
"You've been urged to marry again?" A friend whose ID is a "gas can" sent a response.
"Yes." The coach replied, "So which idiot came up with it?" The lord is going to blow his dog's head. β
"I don't know."
The voice sent by the other party sounded weak: "But I think the AI companion is quite interesting, after all, it is a purely spiritual relationship, and I want to experience it if I have the opportunity......"
"Don't talk about it." The coach's voice was full of helplessness, and he casually asked, "How are you and Frankenstein progressing?" β
"What's going on?" The other party seemed a little confused.
"Don't pretend to be garlic, you're a couple with her, aren't you?" The coach continued to ask.
"Huh? No......" The other person's voice sounded even more confused: "How did you come up with this illusion?" β
"Didn't you?" This time it was a change to a coach and confused.
"Indeed." The other party's tone was very affirmative: "I'm not interested in falling in love, it's better to say that guy is ......"
"What's going on?"
"I've only heard about it, and it seems like something happened in my former team."
Speaking of this, the man laughed: "I'm a little interested in this kind of gossip. β
β¦β¦
"Hmm...... That's it for today, all right! β
Looking at her face in the bathroom mirror, the girl nodded with satisfaction, and her dark green eyes were reflected by the contact lenses, and she looked straight at the blonde beauty in the mirror.
Compared with the popular "big girl" trend, her style is quite retro. Whether it's blonde hair or colorful nails, there is a remnant of the style of the hot girls at the end of the last century.
However, in her opinion, this is indeed the most suitable state for herself.
Before going to the appointment, she recalled a few years ago.
At the time, she was still an Internet addict girl, and she chose to join a game team called "Hellfire", and the game ID was "Turbulence".
At that time, the captain was an eccentric fellow, but his combat effectiveness was very amazing.
However, the strength of several other players, including herself, is not so strong, and in her opinion, it is not an exaggeration to say that she has been dragging the captain back.
One day, the captain was unable to continue leading the team due to personal matters, but instead of disbanding the team, he let his brother use his account to play the match.
At first, the other members of the Hellfire team were skeptical about the strength of the new captain, but after a period of training, they realized that the new captain seemed to be more powerful than the old captain.
The new captain is so precise that he can never go wrong with his robots. If it weren't for his strong personality, Turbulence would even wonder if he was an AI.
Under the leadership of that newcomer, the Hellfire team has overcome obstacles all the way, and the results are much better than in the past.
The team, which was on the verge of disbanding in 2035, has survived until 2039.
And today, as the only female player in the team, she finally made up her mind.
"Let's go!"
The blonde girl waved her fist in the mirror and cheered herself on.
- This is probably the first time in my life that I have taken the initiative to confess.
She had been confessed by others several times before, but each time she decisively refused. After joining the professional team, I basically didn't have much contact with real men, so I have been single until now.
In fact, "Turbulence" from the Hellfire Sentai has always been holding on to the idea that "it doesn't matter if you're single" and devoting all of his energy to the game.
Not anymore, though.
Even though she's never seen a real person, she decides to confess to the current captain of the Hellfire team. Twenty fifty thousand
- The man who is usually very strict, always with indifference, tough and low-key, can be said to be in the middle of the turbulent good ball area.
The more I get along with him in the game, the deeper I fall.
Turbulence certainly knows that developing this relationship within the team can affect results. She also knew very well that the captain would most likely reject herself.
But even so, she plans to give it a try.
- So, let's go and confess.
She patted herself on the cheek, left the neighborhood and got into a self-driving taxi, heading for a small restaurant, where she had met.
When he asked the captain out before, Turbulence didn't say what he was going to do. She didn't even have a picture of the captain, she just booked a single room in advance.
She knew that with the captain's rigorous personality of always accurate to the second and without mistakes, he would definitely arrive on time.
Then, after the two met......
He has never seen the turbulence of the captain's real body, and has fantasized about the captain's true appearance countless times. The image of a cold man is generally imagined.
Of course, she had also considered that the captain could be an ugly man, a lewd man, or even an old man.
But no matter what, I have to confess today.
What makes her fall in love is not the other party's appearance, but his character and ability.
In the eyes of Turbulence, such a man no longer cares about his appearance, his attraction lies in his personality charm. Even if the captain looks like a leper dwarf, she won't let it go.
Of course, it would be better if he could be handsome......
"Don't get stuck in traffic......"
Looking at the traffic jam on the street, the girl couldn't help but sigh.
As a result, I probably won't be able to arrive on time. The captain may reprimand himself, and the success rate of confession, which is not high, has dropped by a few points.
She stared at the dark sky outside the window, anxiously waiting for the taxi to continue moving.
Five minutes later, the blonde hottie jumped out of the car and sprinted into a street-side restaurant, showing her ID to the welcoming robot in front of her door.
"Hello, please come with me." The welcoming robot bowed slightly.
Full of anticipation, feeling that his body was starting to heat up, he followed the welcome robot up the stairs and stood still in front of the door of room No. 305.
- The man I admired, waiting in this room.
She took a deep breath, mentally prepared to face anyone, and then slowly opened the door and looked into the private room-
"Hey."
The man sitting at the square table nodded at the turbulence.
ββ¦β¦β
The blonde hottie, who was originally extremely excited and felt that her whole body was about to float, froze in front of the door of the single room in amazement.
After being silent for a while, she finally squeezed out two words from her mouth:
"Female ...... Target? β
ββThe "cold man" I thought about for a long time turned out to be a baby-faced girl, sitting at the table and looking well-behaved, which is very different from the image I imagined.
Although the captain was dressed in black, he looked younger than himself. Just when the turbulence was still in a state of confusion, the other party's voice pulled her back to reality from her confusion:
"Sit down."
"Oh...... Good...... Good. β
Turbulence sat down resignedly, staring at the girl opposite, and then realized that something was wrong.
Despite the extremely fine workmanship, the half barcode exposed on the sideburns still reveals another identity of the captain:
"Are you...... Robot? Turbulence said slowly.
"Yes." The captain nodded, "Just call me 'Frankenstein'." β
"Ah......h
I thought that even the turbulence could be a lily, but I fell into confusion again:
The "man" I like is not only a woman, but also an artificial intelligence, and the blow is too big.
However, even so, I still ......
Looking at the cute robot girl in front of her, Turbulence plucked up the courage to say the long-prepared confession, and Frankenstein's next sentence completely knocked her into the abyss:
"I have someone I like."
"Ahh......h
The blonde hottie completely lost her strength, leaned back in the chair and slowly slid down, and asked in a low voice, "Who do you like?" β
Looking at Turbulence's depressed appearance, Frankenstein blinked his left eye and smiled, "Confidential." β
- Unrequited love, which lasted for several years, ended on this day.
