"Luckily, only commercial spaces are preserved here, so if you see the full virtual Kyoto, you won't even have to look at it." The girl walked quickly, but she didn't forget to despise Qiu Yu.

"Complete? What does that mean, that is, the present is incomplete? Although the scene in front of him was indeed amazing, Qiu Yu's stunned expression was only a little uneasy because the scene had changed without realizing it. But there is obviously something important in the girl's words.

"Everything you're seeing now originated with the global virtualization initiative that Creators launched nine years ago, with the goal of building a world in the virtual world that is exactly the same as reality. In this way, not only shopping, but also all space-related activities can be easily completed, such as gatherings, traveling, mobilization of non-material resources, etc. Later, they found that the things in the real world that are restricted by various factors are actually not so good, so the global virtual world pays more attention to convenience and comfort while respecting reality. Therefore, the current virtual Kyoto is even more perfect than the real Kyoto. Business, entertainment, and accommodation are all created according to the optimal plan. Virtual Kyoto is better than real Kyoto in every way, so people choose to live here except for basic survival needs. At its peak, Kyoto had a population of 300 million. Can you imagine what kind of scale that is? ”

Qiu Yu didn't imagine it, because he couldn't imagine it at all, "Three hundred million? Isn't Kyoto only home to 20 million people? ”

The girl in front of her faced Qiu Yu and walked backwards, "Twenty million is the real world, but this is a virtual world that is not limited by space and resources. Countless people who are unable to live in Kyoto due to the constraints of reality can pay a small fee to get a place in this virtual Kyoto and enjoy a better quality of life than in real Kyoto. If it weren't for the diversion of other large cities, the population would probably exceed a billion people. ”

"In that case, it will be a big blow to the superiority of the people of Kyoto, right?" Qiu Yu thought of Xie Beizhang's strange reaction when he heard that he was from a "small place".

"It's true, there were many conflicts at the beginning, but compared to this small frustration of superiority, the people of Kyoto have gained an advantage in the law that makes people in other places jealous to the point of madness, and continue to maintain enough superiority......

Seeing that the backward girl was about to bump into the person behind her, Qiu Yu was just about to make a reminder, but the girl was already like a light kitten, taking a graceful step, and after letting the person behind her, she continued, "In short, the creator company has earned at least half of the world's wealth through the virtual earth, and then, because of the large transfer of labor into this world, there is a manpower crisis in the real world. When governments were aggressively trying to use this as an excuse to impose sanctions on creator companies, the creator companies, which had been prepared for a long time, came up with other technologies at the same level as virtual reality, and completely took over the world's agricultural production and most of the light industry. If it were not to save some face for the government, it would be able to take advantage of heavy industry and military power, but in that case, the government, which is facing the crisis of disintegration, will probably make some drastic moves. ”

Then, this awkward stalemate reached its limit five years ago, because of a friction that was said to have been deliberately caused by the creator's company. But at this time, the creator company not only has the wealth and resources that all the governments of all countries combined cannot keep up with, but also has an unshakable human heart - the perfection of the virtual world is incomparable to any government in history, there is no resource limit, there is no irreconcilable contradiction, and the life enjoyed is also the most ideal that human beings can think of. To put it simply, human beings are inseparable from this virtual world. Even with the love house and the black, he also worships the creator company like a god. If it weren't for the ambiguity of the creator company, I am afraid that a single statement would have become the de facto ruler of the entire planet. But even then, in countries where free elections are practiced, leaders have long since been replaced by creators, corporations. ”

At this point, the only thing that governments around the world can contend with the creator corporation is the destructive force in their hands, which is also the obstacle that the vast majority of people believe that the creator corporation has not taken the last step. However, since it has actively caused friction, it has also made everyone think that the creator company has a solution to all the troubles, perhaps relying on advanced technology, or penetrating people's hearts, or both. ”

The girl returned to her normal walking posture, "The process of the conflict is not something that others can know, but the final result is a little weird, the government still exists calmly, and the creator company no longer has any strange behavior, until four years ago, the law appeared...... The governments of the world, which have always regarded the creator company as its enemy, have made a surprising unanimous decision to support the development law of the creator company, and they will provide all the help free of charge. ”

The rhythm of Qiu Yu's footsteps was confused for a moment, "This deal that is beneficial to both parties is probably decided at the time of the conflict, and it took a year to announce it...... Are there any difficulties that take time to solve? ”

The girl nodded, "It did cause a lot of speculation at the time. But when countless netizens were still talking about it, the creator company took the initiative to give the answer - that year, in fact, a small number of people were recruited to conduct a closed test of the law. ”

"Testing?"

Qiu Yu was a little moved. Testing a piece of software in a year is nothing, but it takes a year to test it alone, so how long does it take to develop? The world called the law is clearly the foreshadowing that the creator company has planted from the beginning.

The girl continued, "According to the creator company, the law is a world created by applying virtual reality technology to its limits, where the degree of reality is countless times higher than that of a virtualized Earth...... Although no one can understand the meaning of this infinite fold. The one-year testing period is only a small part of the content, and two million more volunteers will need to enter the law for further testing. Amazingly, the governments that expressed their support received a million quotas. ”

"Shouldn't the government's compromise be just for a test spot in the virtual world?" Although it was a questioning tone, Qiu Yu was almost certain that this was the reason.

"It sounds a bit unbelievable, but when you see the rules, you'll understand the government's deal." The girl turned to a path like a dragon flying in the air, "Next, it is the smart and the well-informed who desperately fight for the remaining million places. Then, three years ago, the number of people entering the law was expanded again. In order to facilitate information gathering and upgrade the connection terminal, this time it is mainly people in large cities who are qualified. That's what I said earlier, the reason why people in large cities continue to maintain their sense of superiority. Later, the number of testers was gradually increased, and it was not until a year and a half ago that the law was fully opened to the world. However, this full opening up is the fuse of another major event. ”

"Could it be that the creator company forcibly shut down the rich features of this world in order to promote their new virtual world?" Qiu Yu continued to say what he was sure of in a questioning manner.

"No matter what is new, there will be people who will resist it, let alone the level of subversion of everything. This virtual reality world was already regarded by some people as demons, and after the appearance of the law, there were even rumors that the creator company was an alien who came to paralyze the earth with mental numbness. Although this rhetoric is in why not directly exterminate humanity; The creator company has long obtained all the resources on the earth, and it is impossible to have any conspiracies and other counter-arguments, which is completely untenable, but some people still believe in it, so that it has caused a little obstacle to the promotion of the law. Faced with this situation, the creator company, which has always acted kindly, for the first time, has responded to this small trouble with a strong posture - shutting down all services on the virtual earth except for basic needs, so that those who can no longer live without the convenience of virtual life will rush into the law to continue enjoying it before they are infected by rumors. Almost all people, once they enter the law, will be completely fascinated. ”

"The rest is simpler." Qiu Yu took the girl's words, "For those who love the virtual world, entering a more perfect world is their pursuit. For those who pay attention to reality, convince them with the excellence of the law itself. For those who are uncertain, they are driven by the general trend. It's a promotion strategy that people simply can't resist, so the end result ......"

As a result, in just a year and a half, only one in 100,000 people in the world have not entered the law, or who have resisted it. Most of the people you see in this virtual city now are just staying here for a short time to prepare some necessities for life in the real world. ”

"But, according to what you said, everything is monopolized by the creator company, and most people are obsessed with the law, so what is the economy of the real world that supports it? Even if there are people selling things here, then the people who buy things must at least have a source of income, right? ”

The girl who was making a dull explanation suddenly came to her senses as if she had talked about a topic of interest, "Of course it's the law." If the world is divided into three parts, the real world is the basis of survival, the virtual earth is the midpoint of maintenance, and the law is the core of the whole world. Because the law has become the main place of residence of human beings, the demand for resources in the real world has been reduced to a fairly small point, and even relying only on the creator company can meet all the needs of human beings to survive in the real world, and as a necessary condition, the wealth obtained in the law can be exchanged for the current currency, so you only need to do the work you like in the law, and you can live very well in several worlds at the same time. ”

"Like the job? That alone is fascinating enough. Then real-world money ......"

"No." The girl had an expression that I knew you were going to say, "The creator company only allows the wealth in the law to be exchanged for real money, but it is not allowed to exchange real money for the wealth in the law. ”

"Heh......" Qiu Yu smiled bitterly.

(I actually did this, and even if I were to lead the government to confront the creator company, there would be no other way than to use force.) If the enemy is really the creator company, he has already completely understood the reason why Qian Xiao is afraid that he will not come. It's an impossible task...... ）

"Okay, it's here."

The girl's crisp voice came.

Qiu Yu only walked down slightly, and when he condensed the realization again, the scene in front of him had changed again. Not far away is the super building that I had already seen when I first entered this virtual world. The other buildings around it are hundreds of meters high, but compared to it, they are nothing more than tiny ants with giants' feet. Just by looking at the part of the field of vision, I think it's already beyond the atmosphere.

"Here?" Qiu Yu's perception seemed to be pulled by the building in front of him, and there were slight fluctuations.

The girl looked at Qiu Yu with the happiest smile like an unscrupulous tour guide who was about to bring tourists into the black shop, "Enter the entrance to the world of laws." ”
