Chapter 41: A boring, but far-reaching chapter
The woman's outfit was similar to what she wore at the bar that day, a crumpled oversized shirt, senior sweatpants, and slippers on her feet...... On his mouth, he still has a cigarette in his mouth.
At this time, she was carrying the two largest plastic bags, about to walk out of the supermarket, Lu Yuan subconsciously glanced at the contents of the plastic bags, almost all of them were wine and snacks.
The woman stared at Lu Yuan with her godless eyes: "I'm here to buy something......"
"Uh...... Well, goodbye. Lu Yuan didn't want to have too much intersection with this guy, so he responded casually, crossed the other party, and walked into the supermarket.
......
Next, Lu Yuan began shopping in the real sense for the first time in his life.
Bread, compressed biscuits, peanut butter......
Lu Yuan looked at the various foods, compared their prices, and chose which one was higher in calories and which one was full of sugar, speaking of which, he still enjoyed this feeling.
In fact, even he didn't realize that he was so concerned about 'shopping', and he even considered the 'taste' factor when choosing a certain bread.
It's as if he is no longer just used to linear thinking, but more inclined to an emotional 'person'.
After about twenty minutes, he finally had all the food for the next week, paid for it, and walked out of the supermarket.
But the next second he walked out of the supermarket, he was stunned for a moment, because he found that the sloppy woman was sitting on the road guardrail directly opposite the supermarket, smoking cigarettes in her left hand and drinking wine in her right hand, staring at the door of the supermarket with her eyes.
"What is this stinky woman doing?" Lu Yuan muttered in his heart. However, as I said before, Lu Yuan didn't want to have too much contact with this guy, so after a staggered look, Lu Yuan immediately looked away, and then quickly turned around and walked in the direction of his home.
Just two steps away......
"Hey!" Sure enough, the woman began to call herself.
Lu Yuan ignored her at all and continued to walk.
"Hey, can you do that guy who starved himself by playing games, can you do me a favor?" The woman shouted again.
"Can't!" Lu Yuan responded weakly, and his pace sped up a few points.
"I've bought too many things to carry."
Lu Yuan responded with silence.
"I'll give 300 yuan ......"
This sentence, the woman did not shout, but said it quietly, as if talking to herself, but Lu Yuan's footsteps stopped suddenly.
"Hey, brother, you have to have backbone, it's only 300 yuan......" Lu Yuan clenched his hands and roared at himself in his heart.
......
After 10 minutes, the door to the bar was pushed open.
"Where's the stuff?" Lu Yuan had a big bag in his hand, but his face was not afraid of power.
"Oh, just put it on the bar." The woman pointed casually.
Lu Yuan immediately walked over and put the things in his hand up.
"Money......" he turned to the woman and held out his hand.
"Oh~ Wait a minute."
Although this woman is sloppy, she must be very rich, which can be seen from the decoration of this bar.
I saw her digging and digging in her trouser pocket, and finally, piled a large pile of crumpled banknotes on Lu Yuan's hand.
"No~"
Lu Yuan looked at the money in his hand, there was a hundred-yuan bill in it, which had been kneaded to the extent that he was afraid that it would leak shit even if he wiped his buttocks, and he not only sighed, the world of rich people is really wonderful.
But no matter what, even if it's really, it's money, so Lu Yuan's evaluation of this woman has improved slightly.
"Would you like to have something?" The woman asked again.
"Uh......" Lu Yuan adheres to the principle of taking advantage of the advantage to the end: "Coke." ”
The woman nodded, walked to the back of the bar, rummaged for a while, and finally pulled out a bottle of Coke from a cabinet, poured it into a cup, and added a few ice cubes.
Lu Yuan took the cup, took a sip, and made a refreshing sound.
"What's your name?" The woman asked casually.
Lu Yuan frowned, speaking of which, this woman can be regarded as the first real human person he came into contact with.
"Lu Yuan......" He hesitated for a moment, and finally responded.
Now that you have come to the real world, you can't always lock yourself in a hut, people always have to communicate and get in touch with this world.
So, "What about you?" Lu Yuan asked along the topic.
"Song Xiaoxin." The woman replied.
"Forehead......" Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, wondering, this name sounded so cautious, why did this person be so arrogant.
But nothing appeared on his face, and just like that, the two sat facing each other, smoking cigarettes and drinking Coke...... But I didn't find any other topics.
After a while, Song Xiaoxin seemed to feel that this atmosphere was a little too silent, so she took out a remote control and pressed it.
Immediately after, the LCD TV on the wall lit up. Above, it seems that a piece of news is playing.
[The next quarter's press conference of the Ark Group will be held on the 30th of this month]
[Ark Group spoke, at this stage, the vicious bugs inside the game have been basically eliminated]
[Ark Group's next batch of high-performance game warehouses are under development, and the release date has not yet been announced]
After listening to a few news, it was basically related to the Ark, and Lu Yuan listened to it with relish, but Song Xiaoxin seemed to be a little bored, so he changed the channel.
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment: "You don't seem to pay much attention to the Ark Company." ”
Song Xiaoxin also nodded directly: "Yes, in fact, I still hate this company." ”
"Oh?" Lu Yuan seemed to be interested: "Why?" ”
"This ...... I don't know why. Xiao Xin responded: "Maybe it's just that I think the game [Ark] is very unreal." ”
"Unreal? Don't you play Ark? ”
"Don't play." Song Xiaoxin replied. And this answer made Lu Yuan slightly surprised, you must know that in this world, there are very few people who don't play the ark.
Song Xiaoxin obviously hadn't finished speaking, she took a puff of cigarette: "However, I just don't like the Ark a little, it's not that I resist it, after all, the Ark Group has brought a lot of convenience to the world, industrial production, machinery is fully automated, last year, the Ark Company announced a kind of 'unmanned assembly line for buildings', and now it only takes dozens of people and less than two months to build a building." ”
As she spoke, she smiled as if she thought it was a little ridiculous.
"More and more human labor is being replaced by machines, and there are fewer and fewer jobs, and I can't imagine what those who don't have jobs would do every day without the game [Ark]. Therefore, the Ark Group is gradually changing the world, and it is still a very balanced change. ”
"Hmm......" Lu Yuan was silent for a while: "So, the Ark Group seems to be pretty good." ”
"yes...... Pretty good. But I just don't like it, because ...... It's just too perfect, and what is too perfect is not a good thing. ”
Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly, thinking that this woman's idea was really extreme, but he was still quite happy, because ...... I don't like the Ark Group myself.
The ark created one world after another, and then arranged a predetermined fate for the lives in these worlds, which could not be changed, and could only be enjoyed by the player, how could this kind of behavior make Lu Yuan not disgusted.
"You say, if one day, someone blows up this Ark Group, what will the world be like?" Lu Yuan asked jokingly.
"Well......" Song Xiaoxin pondered for a while: "I think, this world should become the same as a hundred years ago, people need to work, and the pace of the world has slowed down, but if that's good, although it will be a little tired, but at least it won't be like now, everyone is immersed in a virtual world." ”
"Haha, okay." Lu Yuan smiled: "I hope that the person who can blow up the Ark Group will come soon." ”
"Huh?" When Song Xiaoxin heard this, she leaked a very uncomfortable expression: "Forget it, hate it, hate it, but if someone really wants to trouble the Ark Group, then I won't have a quiet life." ”
Lu Yuan didn't seem to understand this sentence a little: "Huh? Someone looking for the Ark Company, what does it have to do with whether you can live a free life? ”
Song Xiaoxin smiled helplessly: "Of course it matters, but this is my business, you don't have to care......"
"Okay." Lu Yuan saw that the other party didn't want to say anything, so he didn't ask more.
In this way, in the ever-changing sound of advertising, the conversation between the two fell silent again.
Soon, Lu Yuan's Coke was finished, and he also said goodbye to Song Xiaoxin and walked out of the bar.
On the way home, Lu Yuan always seemed to be intentional or unintentional, and began to ponder Song Xiaoxin's evaluation of the Ark, as well as the sentence "If someone makes trouble with the Ark Group, I won't have a quiet life~"
Unconsciously, a light suddenly shot on Lu Yuan's face.
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked up in the direction of the light......
At this time, before the sun set, the brightest light happened to shoot from the gap between the two small buildings, and it was a coincidence that Lu Yuan was enveloped in it.
Looking into the distance along this gap, you can clearly see a huge tower reaching into the sky.
Lu Yuan knew that the tower was the headquarters of the Ark Company, the tallest, richest, and most powerful place in the world.
Lu Yuan just looked at it, and he didn't know what was going on in his head, and after a while, he ...... He lifted his hand that was not carrying the food, and held out his thumb and forefinger in a 'pistol' pose...... To the tower that could be looked upon.
"Bang~!"
The two lips touched lightly......
That's when it happened.
"Drop! Drip! ”
A series of car honkings.
"Hey, what are you doing in the middle of the road? Get out of the way! ”
Lu Yuan turned around and saw a car behind him, and the driver inside stretched out his head and yelled at him.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Lu Yuan apologized embarrassedly, and then walked quickly towards his small apartment.
......
Soon, Lu Yuan returned to his apartment, he first took out a bottle of Coke and a pack of compressed biscuits, and sat down in front of the computer, ready to check something.
First of all, he first typed in the words [Song Xiaoxin].
However, it was found that there was no useful information about this name on the Internet.
After that, Lu Yuan checked the words [vegetative person] again.
This word can be found on the Internet, and not only about this disease, but also about many posts about the mind, body, and soul have also been associated with it. Lu Yuan ate and watched.
Suddenly, in an article about ideas, he captured these words.
"Thought is a very magical thing, from a certain point of view, it is a kind of spiritual cognition and feedback of external things!"
Well...... This sentence is very mysterious, Lu Yuan didn't understand it too much, but the next sentence, he easily comprehended it.
Therefore, if a huge external stimulus is imposed on a mental individual, it may lead to the mutation of the spiritual individual.
For example, some people, after receiving a great shock, pain, or blow, they may faint and go crazy, which is the most straightforward proof of mental mutation. ”
Lu Yuan chewed on compressed biscuits in his mouth, and his eyes seemed to burst with a touch of light.
Combined with Dr. Chen's words in the hospital, it seems that life in the ark is a spirit without a body.
So when I was constantly electrocuting myself, I was able to gradually awaken my understanding of the [Ark], does this mean that my spirit was mutated by electricity?!
If that's the case, isn't it that when facing your fellow countrymen, as long as you give great stimulation, fright, or pain, etc., you can also mutate the fellows!
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Yuan slapped his thigh!
"Yes, exciting! Be sure to give plenty of stimulation! Lu Yuan shouted.
This time, he seems to have suddenly found a new way to save his fellow villagers!
At this point, Lu Yuan's whole body surged up with enthusiasm again, and he gobbled up the compressed biscuits into his stomach and poured a few sips of Coke to ensure that he could stay in the game cabin for 48 hours.
After that, Lu Yuan came to the toilet again, worked hard to soak, and peed along the way, he didn't want to be playing a copy and suddenly wake up by.
After making these preparations, Lu Yuan lifted his pants and prepared to enter the Ark game cabin.
Suddenly, though, his gaze swept over the mirror on the wall.
"Huh?"
Lu Yuan was stunned.
He immediately leaned in front of the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror in disbelief.
"This?? ...... What are you doing? ”
