Chapter 18: The Real World
Thinking of his location, it may be the legendary Penghu sea. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Tang felt the need to go offline, make up for the geography, check the map to see where his island is located, as well as the customs and so on.
Anyway, it's been a while since I've been online, and I still have a lot of unsolved doubts in my head, so it's time to go offline and take a look at the introduction of this game!
Speaking of this game, Li Tang is very strange. Li Tang has only been out of the mainstream society for only a few years, and today's technology has developed to an incredible extent?
After spending so much time in the game warehouse, I didn't eat at all, but I didn't feel hungry.
Moreover, after Li Tang entered the game warehouse, his body was suspended as if in space, with the slightest feeling of force, because of weightlessness, his body was extremely relaxed, and there was no sense of fatigue.
Also, the most incomprehensible thing about this game is that it can capture the thoughts of the human brain, which is a science fiction thing, why did it suddenly appear in front of your eyes?
It seems that only the downline can figure out these causes and consequences.
Now, I'm rich, but that's in the game. In the game, you are on a desert island, and no matter how much money you have, it is useless and does not make much sense. And yourself, who have never been rich in real life, if you can make a fortune yourself, it's time to squander it in reality and experience the feeling of being a nouveau riche.
Li Tang got out of the game warehouse, called the big black dog, and went out. At this time, it was about nine or ten o'clock in the morning, but the street that should have been bustling seemed empty. Occasionally, a speeding sedan sped down the streets. Even if there are pedestrians, they are all coming and going, only staring at the road, and they don't have the heart to pay attention to their surroundings at all.
In Li Tang's impression, it is the morning tea time of the aborigines of GZ, their pace of life is slow and leisurely, and the importance of morning tea is even more important than lunch and dinner. And now the teahouse is still open, but there are not a few people sitting inside.
Li Tang originally wanted to experience such a leisurely life, but when the guys in the teahouse saw the customers coming to the door, they were obviously a little impatient, and seemed to be looking forward to everyone ending the morning tea quickly, what should they do! If it had been in the past, if the guys in the teahouse had such an attitude, they would have been fired a long time ago.
Although Li Tang was surprised, he was not too surprised. Because Li Tang can be sure that the idlers in the past have now entered the game. The slow flow of time in the game is equivalent to a disguised extension of life. Moreover, there is also a teahouse in the game, and it is more antique and tasteful, how many people do you say are willing to go to reality?
Now that Li Tang has come out, it is rare to order a lot of early orders that he was absolutely reluctant to order in the past. If you want to say that GZ's breakfast, it is not simple at all, a better breakfast is really not cheaper than a Chinese dinner! Li Tang looked at it and ordered it deliciously, and there were two or three hundred yuan.
However, the taste of the early is not as delicious as expected. After thinking about it for a while, Li Tang understood what was going on, because in the game, there was a chef who cooked for him every day, and he ate pure wild delicacies from the mountains and seas, and he had already nourished his stomach.
No wonder everyone likes to stay stuck in the game! Eat and drink as much as you like in the game, which can not only satisfy your appetite, but also avoid gaining weight, which is a thousand times better than using diet pills!
Originally, Li Tang ordered a big table to make breakfast, wanting to act as an upstart. It's a pity that no one appreciates it at all. Therefore, Li Tang ate tastelessly, and many things were tasted and then stopped. Even the Howling Dogs ignore these things.
"Forget it, don't eat it! Junk food, much worse than in the game. Li Tang went out and said on the side.
"Yes! I've eaten the things in the game, and it's really hard to swallow again, and if I don't eat them, I'll starve to death, and I will never eat them. ”
It turned out to be a guy from the morning tea shop who was talking. Look at the guy in the store, he is the only one, I guess he was sent out to watch the store. Seeing his reluctant look, he even agreed with Li Tang that the delicious breakfast was junk food, obviously he was also a hardcore player!
However, listening to the guy say that if he didn't eat, he would starve to death, which made Li Tang feel a sigh in his heart. Li Tang hasn't eaten these days, and he is still alive and kicking, without the slightest discomfort, obviously it should be all due to the nutrient solution in the game warehouse. And this guy obviously can't afford to buy a game warehouse, so he can only use a game helmet.
It seems that I should buy some professional nutrient solution for the game warehouse. If, at the critical time of the game, there is no nutrient solution, wouldn't you have to go offline to change?
The nutrient solution is very expensive, costing 1,000 yuan for a bottle and 500ml, which is comparable to the price of Wuliangye. However, the nutrient solution is much better than Wuliangye, a 500ml bottle of nutrient solution can maintain the nutritional needs of the real world for a week, which is not much more expensive than eating.
Of course, this is not a matter for Li Tang today.
However, Li Tang did not dare to transfer money to reality on a large scale, but it should be stress-free to transfer 20,000 yuan a month.
After all, it is understandable to earn one or two thousand a month in the game. Now, many companies pay some good gamers more than that. Moreover, even if you are a slave, you can earn 10,000 yuan a month.
Li Tang paid the electricity bill for his home, and then changed a smartphone for himself. Through his smartphone, Li Tang began to search the Internet, trying to find the reason for the rapid development of earth technology.
On today's Internet, Li Tang is not the only one who raises questions about the development of science and technology, but also a lot of people.
As for the explanation of the development of science and technology, the answers given on the Internet can be described as strange, and the mainstream interpretation is the following aspects:
1. The crystallization of the wisdom of the best scientists among the major powers of the world.
2. Something from an extraterrestrial civilization.
3. The computer equipped with alien technology was left on Earth and used by the earthlings.
4. The product of a higher civilization hidden on Earth.
……
Anyway, for every claim, there are many people who don't trust it and give a lot of evidence to refute it. Li Tang didn't understand these things, and he couldn't judge the truth of these statements.
It can be said that in this regard, there is no affirmative and universally acceptable statement. In addition, the People's Daily of the Celestial Empire government also published a front-page editorial, denying the existence of alien technology and declaring that all alien claims are rumors. I call on everyone not to spread rumors and not to spread rumors.
Obviously, there are some things that Li Tang is destined not to know. On earth, there are only a handful of people in every country who know these secrets.
Li Tang still carefully read the news in recent years according to the tips of others in the forum. I didn't care about it, but I really realized that in the past few years, the world has changed too much......
In previous years, a small number of countries in West Asia were in turmoil, which eventually spread, and the entire Arab world was in turmoil.
On the other hand, country M and the polar bear country launched a new round of disputes in Eastern Europe and provoked local wars. And the countries of Western Europe are also beginning to get restless.
China sees an opportunity to build islands in the South China Sea, and even effectively occupy islands and reefs that have been stolen by small countries in the South China Sea.
China's old enemy, Japan, is anxious to recover its wings, and since it has sent troops to the South China Sea, it wants to fish in troubled waters. And the account of the Diaoyu Islands is still confused.
The two countries on the Korean Peninsula are even more eager to try their part, as if ending the current partition.
The two big countries in South Asia are growing in grievances and are even more tense.
The other major powers also feel that the world is on the verge of great changes, and they are eager to take sides and strive for the greatest interests.
……
War is so far away that people have forgotten the horror of war! Most earthlings' impression of war is only in film and television works and news, and they cannot experience the cruelty of war at all.
And those who know the cruelty of war are wantonly advocating the necessity of war at this time.
War, no matter how high-sounding its reasons are, the ultimate root cause is actually interests. And interests have blinded the eyes of most earthlings and lost the minds of most earthlings, so that they have forgotten the trauma and civilian harm brought to the earth by World War I and World War II.
Today, the economic crisis has lasted for far too long, so long that most of the middle class have become abject poor, so long that the people at the bottom have found it difficult to provide food and clothing, and so long that the assets of the capitalists have shrunk to the extreme......
And what is even more deadly is that no one knows how long this crisis will last? Because, the greedy capitalists have overdrawn too much economic vitality before, and the blow to the earth's economic system is almost devastating.
At this point, the savior appeared, and they were the warmongers! They preach war because war is the engine of the global economy.
In fact, there have been countless times in history when a country's economy has come to a dead end, war has often come, and then the economy will return to its original vitality. After World War II, wasn't the earth's economy booming for decades?
However, almost no one thought about when the Fourth World War would come after World War III.
According to the current technology of the earth, after the third world war, the fourth world war may never appear! Even if it appears, the protagonist may not be human anymore!
……
However, the long-awaited world war did not start in the end, but finally ushered in a game jointly launched by all countries - "Eternity".
"Eternity" has only been on service for a week, and the world has calmed down a lot.
The bigwigs of the superpowers have announced that they will cut their military spending and reject war. The nuclear-armed States have even announced that they will destroy their nuclear weapons for peaceful purposes. Even China has announced that it will retire its only aircraft carrier, and the United States has even sunk all its aircraft carriers to build an underwater paradise......
The United Nations also announced that part of the proceeds of the game will be used to make cheap nutritional blocks to solve the problem of food and clothing for the extremely poor people in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Nutrient blocks, is something that appeared last year. Extremely inexpensive, a small piece of paste about the size of an egg can ensure a person's nutrition for a day. However, the taste is really not good. However, it is very cheap, and you can buy one piece for only 1 cent.
If Li Tang hadn't entered the game before, he might have scoffed at the fact that the United Nations had provided nutritious pieces to the poor. However, now, Li Tang knows that compared to the things in the game, the things outside the game taste similar, and they all have only one role, which is to fill the stomach.
And, as the game progressed, many countries began to announce mergers, with the aim of promoting the merger of game areas:
There are basically eight countries left in Europe, including Russia, England, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Greece, Italy, the Vatican State, and the European Union (other countries).
The Americas became country M (Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean countries) and the Confederation of South America.
African countries also make up four countries: South Africa, Egypt, North Africa, and Central and West Africa.
Australian State of Oceania.
In Asia, China (plus Vietnam, Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Nepal, and Bhutan), Japan, Korea, Mongolia, the Central Asian States, ASEAN (Southeast Asian countries), India, Thailand, Turkey, the Persian Empire, and the Arab Empire.
The world has incredibly changed from nearly 200 countries to 26 countries, and the reason for this is unknown.
The world has changed so dramatically that it has not been able to attract the attention of many people, let alone oppose it.
After all, in general, the unification of the world is the trend, with fewer countries, fewer disputes, and the people benefit; To put it mildly, the merger of countries will lead to the merger of game areas, which is equivalent to a disguised increase in the strength of the region. In the future, if the borders are opened, there will be more power than more people.
The power of many people is by no means an empty phrase. In the game, no matter how many people there are, there are not too many people. Otherwise, why do Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Nepal, Bhutan and other countries can't wait to be incorporated into China?
There are also three South Asian countries, the grievances between them have been difficult to resolve for dozens of lifetimes, but now they are eating in a good pot. There is no benefit, they will merge?
Li Tang thinks this is very good, what grievances do you have, what hatred, vent it in the game, as long as you have the ability!
