Chapter 4: Spring Cake Building
The brain machine stood quietly within Rey's reach, and he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had turned it on. Yes, the brain-computer is still the most powerful machine, a wonderful flower in the history of industrial design during the last technological explosion, and a beacon that illuminates human civilization.
However, the brain-computer is all kinds good, and the volume can't stand it. After half a century of hard work, the brain-computer design team finally achieved the point that the brain-computer that could not fit in the two large rooms to the point that the small half-room room had a surplus. And with the superior performance and supersensory experience that defies all equipment, it has successfully entered thousands of households.
History is always strikingly similar. More than 200 years ago, computers were said to have been a behemoth when they were born. In the end, it became more and more miniature, and successfully flew into the homes of ordinary people, becoming an indispensable artifact in work and life. Later, with the advent of mobile phones and the revolution of mobile Internet, computers gradually faded out of life.
A brain computer is like a computer, and a quantum crystal is like a mobile phone. Now, quantum crystals are nearing the end of their journey to replace brain computers.
Rey's brain machine is not far away. Lee's back from the Tower Province is different from the other brains, Rey's brains are even older. It is said that Rey's grandfather bought it under the threat of Rey's grandfather, whose great-grandmother smashed the pot and sold iron, and Rey's grandfather was still using diapers at that time.
The valuable brain machine became a family heirloom, and it was repeated in Rey's hands. It was once glorious, but now it is a twilight of heroes.
But, it's time to turn it on!
"Boom!"
The roar of the brain-machine resounded throughout the room. The stocky old brain machine trembled slightly, like a giant cannon.
Rey connected the crystal into the brain computer, put on the holographic helmet, and in an instant, the world was silver.
With a flash of silver light, Rey entered a verdant hut with green grass on the floor and unknown flowers blooming, teasing a few lost butterflies. The walls are covered with vines and creepers, and clusters of huge purple grapes sway in the wind. The wind blew in through a delicate little window of the hut covered with blue snowflake vines. Outside the window, the green peaks stretch, and the white clouds under the blue sky pass leisurely through the peaks. Near the window, a bend of turquoise water is crystal clear, and two swans are singing on the ripples.
On the windowsill of the small window, a mat woven of golden reeds is spread. There is a photograph standing on it. It was a woman, wearing a long gray dress, blonde hair and blue eyes, with some resemblance to Rey between her eyebrows, smiling slightly at the camera.
Seeing the photo, Rey was visibly stunned, stared at it for a few seconds, and smacked his lips.
This cabin is the desktop of the brain. It was Rey who was chosen and bought at a great price. Vines, vines, and creepers slowly converge from the walls on all sides towards the roof, and finally converge into a verdant green vine in the center of the roof, under which hangs a huge golden beehive.
On the hive, a small, delicate elf with wings is sleeping soundly.
"You guy, get up." Rey yelled at the hive.
The elf crawled up sleepily and looked at Rey.
"Hmph. It's you. The elf seemed disappointed.
"Who else? I've told you how many times I've been the only owner of this brain computer for a long time. ”
"Hmph, so I still have a master? I thought you were dead and I was completely free. The elf stretched and turned a male and female face towards Rey.
There are actually a lot of wrinkles.
"Don't face me. It's been a long time since I've been here, but you're not going to be like this. ”
"Hmph. The best way to take care of your brain computer is to use it regularly, and I'm only getting old so quickly given how often you use it. When your grandfather and your father were masters, I was a willow leaf with a cherry mouth, and anyone who saw me would be happy to look at it, and the Johansen family brain machine next door to us trembled when I didn't see me online......"
"Alright, stop. Johansen's kid's brain was collected step by step from various garbage disposal stations. I shuddered when I turned it on. ”
"Hmph. What happened this time? Your quantum crystal brother can't solve it? The elf scooped a piece of honey from the hive and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I've inserted the crystal, there's an unread letter in the mailbox, you just have to open it." Rey said excitedly.
"Hmph. You can just open it with the little crystal brother. The elf dug up another piece of honey and put it in his mouth.
"The crystal can't be opened. I don't know what to code, the amount of information is very huge, please old man. "Rey is embarrassed after speaking, he is the master, the brain machine is just a tool, the master actually asks for a tool?
"Hmph, you humans don't have a conscience. Ignore me, a beautiful elf like a flower like jade and omnipotence, and only spoil the little goblin with only a little computing power in the quantum crystal. The elf said, his hand groping.
Rey watched as the guy pulled out a bottle of wine and a crystal clear glass from the hive, and drank it with honey.
Rey thinks this is a great shame, a brain computer does not listen to orders, and pours himself a drink?
"You guy, open the letter in the crystal mailbox now! It's not a consultation with you, it's an order! If you don't care about it anymore, I'll start the manual operation mode. Put you elf in a dark room. ”
"Hmph. You humans are ruthless, but I, a beautiful elf, cannot be unjust. The elf poured a glass of wine and raised it to his lips, "I scanned the contents of the crystal when you first plugged in that useless thing. That letter was indeed very informative. Even my genius brain computer has to be adjusted to the best state. That's why I'm refueling and preparing for overclocking. The elf drank the wine from the glass.
"Now, overclocking is complete!" The elf stood up suddenly, its small body flashing with golden light.
The letter opened.
In the green hut, a young girl appeared.
Long hair is jet black and fair skin. A red dress in the spring of the garden. The colored hut is like a flower blooming proudly.
Rey's heart pounded.
The girl had watery black eyes and was looking at Rey generously.
Beauty...... Meimei ...... Meimei ...... Belle!
Groove cake is your favorite type. But Rey, of course, knew that it was just a multimedia letter, and that the girl was just a hologram.
But, it's so beautiful! Who is the elf in this green hut?
"Hmph." The elf snorted heavily, and lay motionless on the hive.
"Hello." The girl lightly lifted her lips.
"You...... Hello. Rey rushed forward and grabbed the girl's little white hand.
"First of all, congratulations on getting an invitation to our Time Games. I am one of the tour guides of the game workshop, my name is Xiao Qing. ”
Xiao Qing. What a wonderful name.
"Your invitation game starts at 8:10 p.m. on October 10, 2237 Gregorian calendar."
"The place of use is the roof of the Spring Cake Building."
The roof of the Spring Cake Building?
"Wait, wait." Rey said puzzled.
"The invitation letter is invalid after expiration, so please be sure to come on time. We'll welcome you on the rooftop. The beautiful girl casually combed the hair that fell to her ears, and then suddenly threw a wink at Rey, "Don't forget to bring crystals." ”
Rey felt his heart fly out.
"Zla...... Zla. ”
The image of the beautiful woman gradually blurred, and finally disappeared.
The wind blows through the delicate little windows, the vines cling, and the grass swayes. Rey, however, felt empty in his heart.
"Hmph." The elf lying on the hive snorted heavily.
Take off all the helmets and remove the quantum crystals. Rey glanced at the time nonchalantly.
It's 7 o'clock.
You know, today is October 10th, so you have to hurry. But, the location is actually the roof of the Spring Cake Building?
Is this a prank?
The Spring Cake Building is quite far away from Red Pomegranate Street, where Rey is located, and in just one hour, you can't get there without taking a quantum car. Taxis are expensive, and climbing stairs is even more laborious. Nothing on the roof at the end? Drinking the northwest wind and counting the stars yourself?
To go or not to go?
Of course!!!
The beautiful girl's long black and bright hair, delicate cherry lips, watery black eyes, flaming red dress, and proud figure that can't be hidden in the skirt all make Rey want to see her right away.
Rey immediately picked up the quantum crystal, casually ordered a cheapest Iron Dragon brand quantum car, rushed into the bathroom (in fact, it was another wall), and quickly washed his hair and shaved his beard a few times. Put on the suit that I wore on the blind date before and rushed downstairs.
At the beginning of the lanterns, thousands of lights are on.
A gray-green quantum car that hadn't been washed in I don't know how many years was parked downstairs. Under the dim street lamp, it looks like a huge lizard lying on the ground, listless.
On the front of the car, the Iron Dragon logo was drowning in heavy dust, looming.
It should be the car I called, and it arrived so soon?
"Excuse me......" Rey walked briskly into the quantum car.
"Rey, huh? I was about to go to the Spring Cake Building, and I happened to pass by here. I'll give you a ride. A sad face appeared in the car window, like a mournful face.
Give me a ride? Why does it sound so awkward?
"Get in the car! Stupidly standing. "This face is even more ugly than it was just now.
"Oh." Rey immediately pulled open the car door and sat down in his seat.
It hurts!
What's under the ass?
Rey was just about to fumble when the car started suddenly! Rey stumbled.
The quantum car is like a lizard spitting flames and running wildly. Its owner defies all traffic rules, even all life.
"Slow, slow." Rey's stomach turned upside down.
The owner had a dark face and did not say a word. just silently drove the quantum car as a flying saucer.
The brightly lit avenues, the streetlit paths, the rows of buildings, the simple and tidy houses, all these come and whistle again.
Rey held on to the armrest with one hand, and reached under his ass with the other.
Well, like a fragment of something.
"You also went to the Spring Cake Building to do that?" The owner of the car who had no time to take care of other cars suddenly said.
That thing? Playing games?
Isn't it just that you are the guest of that time and place? Could it be that many people are now preparing to go there? Is this a group game?
"You mean ......," Rey cautiously probed.
"Play dumb. Are you going to the roof of the Spring Cake Building? ”
Roof? It seems that this dejected-faced kid is also invited. Isn't this invitation precious?
"Spring cake building. What else can someone who goes there do at night? Looks like you're going to the top of the building too! The dejected-faced young man affirmed.
"Well, yes, it's up to the roof." It seems that everyone has the same purpose, and there is nothing to hide.
"And what are you for?"
For what? Isn't it for the sake of playing games?
"Hmph. Don't say it. The young man opened the skylight, took out a Red Star cigarette and lit it silently, "In this city, only the owner of the Spring Cake Building has not installed a gravity alarm device. ”
Gravity alarm device?
"So, it became a sanctuary for some kind of people! When my brother was in full swing, he felt that the owner of the Spring Cake Building deliberately did not install a gravity alarm device, and he was a person with bad intentions! Unexpectedly, my brother also has today. Alas, the world is impermanent. The smoke ring from the young man's breath floated weakly.
A holy place for some kind of person? The world is impermanent?
Rey seemed to understand something in an instant.
"It's good to have you on board. We're in company. With the voice of the young man who has no love, the car stopped.
The Spring Cake Building is right in front of you.
