*Feature: 10 Years*

"Dad, your tie is crooked!" Cheng Peng was about to go out, and his son Cheng Ming, who was checking his schoolbag, reminded him, "And the appearance of the tie is also a little strange." ”

Cheng Peng was stunned for a moment, drew a circle in the air with his hand, used the virtual screen as a mirror, and sure enough, he saw that his tie was a little crooked - although it was not very obvious, but if you pay attention to it, you can still see it.

"Big husband, Meng Da Nai!" My daughter, who will only enter elementary school next year, skillfully borrowed Uncle Levi's mantra and raised the spoon in her hand to strengthen her persuasiveness.

"Don't learn from Uncle Wei! In the future, others will say that they are otaku! ”

"Otaku? Otaku? ”

"Don't point it at me! I'm a hot-blooded teenager full of energy, so I'm not at home! ”

"Otaku!"

"Cheng Xiaoyu! I warn you in all seriousness! Even if you were my sister, I would be angry if you ruined my reputation like this! ”

"Cheng Qiyu!"

"You're smaller than me, so it's a little rain!"

"Cheng Qiyu!"

"Cheng Xiaoyu!"

"What are you competing with your sister...... Cheng Peng rubbed his son's head helplessly, "Is it okay for you to procrastinate like this?" Today you are a student on duty. ”

"There's no hurry, it's still early." The son smiled calmly, and continued to check the schoolbag without hurry - when the black technology first broke out, the school once adopted a completely paperless teaching method, but now with people's reflection, many aspects have reverted to the slightly troublesome traditional way.

Of course, there wasn't much in the bag, three sets of textbooks and workbooks, a stationery box, and that's it.

Retro does not mean asking for hardship, and adults cannot put too much pressure on children, no matter how young and old, the schoolbag will not be heavier than others.

Under the farewell of his wife and daughter, Cheng Peng drove his son to school in a flying car.

At the beginning of the outbreak of black technology, there was a serious decline in population growth, so much so that politicians were worried, and it is said that the production and promotion of "Big Adventure" was to strengthen interpersonal communication and promote population growth. Although the results were not immediate at the time, the disturbing situation gradually improved over time. Although it seems that there is still a long way to go before the population explosion or something, it seems that the number of the next generation of mankind can be guaranteed from the increasingly busy elementary schools.

At the school gate, Cheng Peng met Xiao Moran. The Sneering Emperor, who was still full of sneers, was also sending his children to school, but unlike Cheng Peng, he had to send two children.

Xiao Rong, female, eight years old.

Chen Zihao, male, 7 years old.

Although he got married much later than his friends, Xiao Moran got a child a year earlier than Chen Wumian, mainly because Chen Yu's mother-in-law has been guiding his wife, who is ten years younger than him, to do contraceptive work in line with the idea of protecting the body of his righteous daughter, until Xiao Moran's daughter was born, and Mrs. Tamir allowed him to have children.

According to the gossip revealed by gossip person Li Wei, in fact, it may be because there are many young girls who admire Dean Chen, so Mrs. Tamir changed her mind and let her righteous daughter get pregnant and give birth to a child in advance - originally according to her plan, she planned to let her righteous daughter give birth at the age of 20......

Even Detective Ms. Alis can't be sure of the authenticity of this news, but judging from the fact that Chen Wumian often goes out and has been bumped into more than once by Wende, a wandering man, in some places where decent people like Cheng Peng will never go, I am afraid that the Chen family will be in trouble in the future!

Because Mr. Chen is often away from home, his next-door neighbor, Lao Xiao, often helps to send his son to school. According to Xiao's practice of often instilling in Chen Zihao such views as "men should be dedicated", I am afraid that the little handsome guy has been booked by him for his daughter.

However, looking at Xiao Rong and Chen Zihao, who were playing while walking, Cheng Peng always felt that Xiao Moran's thoughts were a bit wishful thinking, which was really unreliable!

After watching the children walk into the classroom, Cheng Peng and Xiao Moran said goodbye and drove to the unit.

He is currently the Director of UNESCO's Virtual Culture Focal Point and works every day.

Soon after the first Adventure Tournament (formerly known as the "Super Martial Arts Conference"), the Black Technology Management Center established a unit to coordinate virtual culture, and Cheng Peng and many famous players were hired as consultants. Because of his outstanding work attitude and achievements, he was transferred from consultant to deputy director when the Virtual Cultural Focal Point was transferred to UNESCO just one year later. A few days ago, the old supervisor who suddenly sprouted the second spring resigned and took his golden wife to embark on a honeymoon trip around the solar system, and Deputy Director Cheng was naturally promoted to full supervisor - today is the first day of Director Cheng's tenure.

The speed of the new car was fast, and in half an hour he arrived at the virtual cultural coordination center on the outskirts of Beijing, where the office building and a set of outbuildings floating in the air for a thousand meters were painted emerald green to look like a leaf floating in the sky.

There weren't many staff in the building, and most of them were his acquaintances. There was Horus, an Egyptian who went to Africa with him to mediate the feud between two tribes, and that time the work was really thrilling, and they were once chased and beaten by dozens of black uncles; There is Dongliuxingchen, who is doing research on the topic of "martial arts and social culture", he is the assistant of Professor Jun Shijun, but everyone likes to call him "secretary"; Zhang Channian and Lixiao organized a group to restore famous species in the virtual world, and from the cultural, social and biological perspectives to study which virtual species are necessary to be restored in reality, and they have just successfully restored the unicorn......

Cheng Peng greeted every colleague he met as he walked, and passed one office after another along the corridor - of course, most of the offices were empty, because the work time had not yet arrived, and he just habitually came early.

But when he came to his office, less than a minute after he sat down, there was a knock on the door.

"Is Director Cheng here? I'm the new investigator Xiao Du~"

Cheng Peng was stunned, this voice sounded very familiar to him......

——————

Cheng Peng's story came to an end like this, I don't know if everyone will have any regrets?

So...... I've added two very short theaters.

It's a "maybe happen" future, and when something changes, they're just as authentic narratives...... Maybe, (laughs)

*IF 1 • 100 Years*

"Big Adventure" has been in operation for more than 100 years now, and for more than 100 years, players have come and gone, I don't know how many people have changed, only the world of the game is as prosperous as ever.

Asia, Oriental Gensokyo World.

The wind is strong, blowing through the peaks, through the fields, and through the woods of Gensokyo, bringing a refreshing aroma.

"There are no players during system maintenance, and Gensokyo has become quiet~" Wearing a red and white costume, the Hakurei shrine maiden sat on a large rock and enjoyed the tranquility leisurely.

"yes. It's fun to meet those young people every day, but it's nice to clean up once in a while! The golden armor of the head of the martial arts sect of the garrison who lived in the nearby human world did not hinder his movement at all, and he sat on the ground easily, putting away the wine bottles, wine glasses and some side dishes, "Usually they are busy looking for us to ask for tasks...... There are so many tasks! Why don't you go to the training ground and practice the basics if you have some spare time? Strengthening oneself is the right way! ”

The shrine maiden smiled, this man is still in this style even if he becomes an AI program.

Calm, down-to-earth, very reliable feeling...... It's like a legendary pillar that supports the sky.

"Speaking of which, I still don't understand, why do you leave a will before you die, which makes your memories into an AI program? And it's still to Gensokyo to be a guard......" The shrine maiden looked at this colleague who had just arrived not long ago, this old friend who had been absent for a long time, and asked suspiciously, "I died too early, and I was unwilling to end my life like this, so I made this choice; But you...... I've heard from those players that you've achieved fame in reality, right? Is there any dissatisfaction with this? ”

"It's because I've fulfilled my lifelong dream that I can do some wayward things, do things that don't quite fit my identity." He looked back at the girl's delicate face that would never fade, "Many years ago, I had a question. Later, the question mark turned into an exclamation mark, and slowly into a full stop, and finally into an ellipsis mark. I didn't want to end this with an ellipsis as an end, so I wrote the will. ”

"You know what? I can't be more grateful for this era! He smiled, and there was no trace of the heroism in his smile, only a soft leisure, "Only in such an era can life leave no regrets!" It doesn't matter if it takes another hundred years, I'm idle now. ”

*IF 2 • Millennium*

Most tourists who travel to the home planet Earth will go to the Sprout Memorial Museum, which records many famous people and events in the embryonic stage of the new era, and many things that can only be seen in history books are truly there.

"We're now in the Museum of the Origins of Virtual Culture, which records the origins of virtual culture, the most famous of which is the first and most influential virtual game in history, Big Adventure." The cold-faced electronic tour guide guides visitors slowly through the exhibition hall with impeccable perfection.

"It was a turbulent era in the history of virtual culture, and most of the glorious historical celebrities in the following 100 years left a magnificent story in the world of virtual culture, where many celebrities and events were recorded."

"Huh? Isn't that Cheng Peng, the third chief executive of the Centaur New District? He's also a player of Big Adventure? A young man with a name tag on his chest that read "Wang Yuanzhen" saw a certain record and couldn't help asking, "I remember that the history books said that he was a very serious and serious person, known for his stability, reliability, fairness and justice, and he actually played games?" ”

This question immediately drew laughter from the surrounding tourists.

"Did you sleep in a virtual culture class?" An old man said with a smile, "Cheng Peng is the first world-class celebrity in the history of virtual culture, and his identity in this field is much more important than his identity in the history of interstellar exploration!" ”

Wang Yuanzhen blushed, so he had to look left and right to hide his embarrassment, and when he saw the project of "The Origin of the Virtual World Competition", he was suddenly stunned and turned his eyes to the electronic tour guide.

No matter how you look at it, he feels that the guy standing on the runner-up podium ...... It's familiar......

The e-tour guide noticed his expression and nodded slightly, indicating that he was not mistaken.

"When the virtual cultural memorial was built, that person applied to make an electronic tour guide based on her appearance, and was responsible for explaining the exhibition hall of 'Big Adventure'." Her gaze fell on the stereoscopic projection, and there was some embarrassment in her words, "Probably to make up for the regret of leaving early...... I'm here to narrate the history on her behalf and tell the legendary stories to every visitor who visits. ”

"There was our world here, and there was a ...... here that belonged to us Adventure! ”
