Chapter XVIII Location
In the face of the tone that old Anne taught me, I felt a little more comfortable. The www.biquge.info shook off the snow off his body, took off his coat and sat on the sofa next to him.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" He moved a cup of tea and deliberately skimmed the tea leaves.
"It's nothing, I haven't been here for such a long time, I'm coming to see you........" I know I lied, and I don't know why I lied.
"If you have something to say, I've said it all, what's the hypocrisy with me? Is it because the adventurous tasks are over, and now the team's problems are coming one after another, and you can't be busy? "Old Anne suddenly broke what I care about the most.
The team's handling was too troublesome, and I thought that the team was handled well by Erin, and I just had to do it vigorously. But now it seems that it is not so simple. All kinds of laws were born, rules and regulations were introduced to limit us, and even fighting a war requires a reason and intervention as much as it does in the outside world. Moreover, the circulation of points is more inclined to money, and I always feel that our peace is not a good thing.
"Looks like you get the idea, too. If Dream City is premised on all sorts of unrealistic games, why advocate peace? "His experience is beyond my imagination, and even if I don't put what I think on my face, he can tell what I think by the current situation and my state.
"Yes." I confessed my doubts.
Old Anne took out a box of homemade cigarettes from her padded jacket, and after taking a pleasant breath, she said with a complicated look in her eyes: "Show you a picture, tell me what you see.........
The picture is in a building. Inside, everyone is busy typing on the keyboard in front of every computer. Some female staff members picked up the fallen paper from the ground and ran away in a panic. The strange thing is that they all have a watch on their wrists, which is a stopwatch.
"Isn't this a mediocre person who works for the sake of work?" I don't understand old Anne's intentions, does it have anything to do with my current situation?
He pointed to the person typing inside, "Look closely." ”
This time I carefully observed the faces of everyone who typed on the keyboard, and there were two colors on their faces, one was numb, and the other was panicked.
"They all seem to be afraid of something, something to do with that strange stopwatch, right?" I came to such a conclusion.
Old Anne nodded and asked, "What are they working so hard for?" ”
"For the money." There is no doubt about that.
"That picture perfectly illustrates what it means to be 'time is money'." His old, deep voice said meaningfully.
He pointed to the stopwatch: "If you look closely, the number that the stopwatch is decreasing is decreasing at a very high value, and the initial number of this value is the maximum salary they can get, and every time they spend a little time, they lose a lot of money, so this is the state that comes after peace." One is already numb, and the other is panicked when he just joined the work. ”
"Slave to money! Do you mean that? "I suddenly thought of this possibility, after all, this is the only kind of person who is so desperate for money.
His gray beard raised slightly: "That's it, so is Dream City." I think people nowadays will keep fighting for money, and what they do is not to win the favor of their leaders, but to get money handouts. The people added this time are all people who have money in their lives except for their families, and they don't have the thrilling journey of passion like yours, so if you continue to follow this trend........"
I suddenly discovered a terrible fact: "They are the virus, they will make our lives more stable, and our mission will be completely dismantled by the subtlety, and no one will remember what the mission is, because we can't tell where we are." ”
"That's it." Old Anne breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered something in his low voice, as if glad I had seen it.
"But we can't fight, and we can't seem to stop this phenomenon." Think about the current situation, whoever does it without declaring the vote will be named by the new team rules of Dream City, and finally the maintenance robots in the city will come to stop the war, and ...... If you don't destroy the other party, you will be falsely accused by the other party. How can it be fought, and even if it does, according to my estimates, it will take half a year to a year or more......
"That's because you're thinking in the wrong direction."
Am I going in the wrong direction? Well...... That's what old Anne just said, yes.
"What did I do wrong? Team-oriented, what's the problem? ”
He laughed out loud at my childishness, and then said angrily, "If you don't come to me again, you'll give up the chance to leave Dream City in this life!" ”
"Speak up if you have something to say!" I screamed impatiently.
Old Anne put on a stinky face as usual, and said to me, "I ask you, what is on the poster of Dream City?" ”
After a moment of thinking back to him, he said to him, "There's that funny guy from Timinade on it, saying that you can get money, honor, status, etc. by passing thirty levels, and you can get everything as long as you win." ”
"Then let me ask you, who are the important characters in the game?" He asked angrily.
I pulled my mouth: "Isn't this nonsense?" The main character, of course! ”
Old Anne's nostrils pointed at me: "Humph! On this question, the man named Chen Changguan had already thought of it, otherwise he would not have delayed it for so long to promote the team to a first-class team! ”
"He's thought of it a long time ago!?" I was dumbfounded.
He refilled the warm tea in my hand and said, "Of course! Even the boss of your enemy's family, I've visited you! ”
"Can you get out!?"
This time, he was stunned: "I'm a person with a pass, otherwise what do you think the pass is for?" ”
")(&&&**"There are 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping in my heart. It turns out that the pass is just the surface meaning, and you can come and go at will!
I waved my hand: "Go on." ”
"I'm a couple of decades old, and he's a doll in his early twenties. He actually thought the same way as I did. Old Anne exclaimed.
"So terrible?" I approached him, knowing a little more about my future enemies.
"Originally, the words in my heart after seeing the current society actually came out of his mouth. He said: 'Life now is nothing more than money and family. As long as you can make your family and yourself live better, even if you become a slave to money, it doesn't matter. Most of the people who say they don't like money are people with money and status, or they are crazy. ”
"What kind of person is he?"
Old Anne was also puzzled by this question, and after a moment he hesitated and replied, "He is no longer human." Abandoned his family and money, his status was still given to him by the state, and he just made a very cheap guarantee, which was not very binding. ”
