Set Sail (Light Novel) Chapter 17, Tamir World
"Grunt", Yuzu poured a large mouthful of soda directly into her mouth, and fluttered her hands and feet up and down comfortably, letting out a satisfied moan.
A few days ago, Yuzu still looked like a weak and pitiful girl, but now she, Nangong has an illusion that Yuzu at this moment seems to be able to take charge on her own.
Only then did I notice that Yuzu was still wearing his own clothes, and he was about to arrive at Tianma Star, which is the destination of Nangong and Streamer's trip, and he wanted to change Yuzu's outfit.
"What? Want to try it? Yuzu thought that Nangong wanted to fight again, and glanced at Nangong defiantly.
Many of Nangong's clothes are mixed with magnetic fibers, which are all products designed to facilitate interstellar travel and overcome weightlessness in the universe when they were in the ancient martial arts world before.
When a strong electric current is applied to the floor of the spacecraft, a gravitational magnetic field is generated to bind the passengers in place.
Unlike Nangong's high-tech products, Yuzu has overcome the weightless environment of outer space by relying on her superpowers, wrapped in countless tiny cyclones.
"Now, Yuzu, have you heard of virtual communities?"
"A magical place, right?"
Yuzu threw the finished soda bottle into the metal storage box, which was like an animal's stomach, and then there was a wriggling sound, and the garbage was automatically sorted after being disposed of. Yuzu sat still, manipulated the cyclone to fetch delicious treats from the snack box, and opened the nearest box of crème brûlée to feast on. Thinking of Nangong's words just now, Yuzu seemed to be suddenly interested, and his eyes exuded a different passion.
"Ah...... It's a place I haven't been to in a long time! The first time, it was with Jona. ”
Seeing that Yuzu could enjoy the food in his hand freely in the spaceship, without being limited by time and space, Nangong held his head and looked at Yuzu "eating" jealously, and it was not until a while later that he gradually came back to his senses.
"Yuzu ......"
"What's wrong? You guy, out of love? Yuzu didn't notice Nangong's jealous gaze, and after eating the pastry, she sucked the spice left on her thumb with a nostalgic expression, revealing a satisfied expression.
"Hey! Can you please stop eating in front of me. Nangong finally sighed helplessly, and then took off the dark blue watch on his left wrist and threw it to Yuzu. Let's go, I'll take you inside. That magnificent and magnificent world! ”
Yuzu fanned the cyclone, took the watch from mid-air, pinched it in his hand and looked at it curiously, and then put it on his left wrist, and a blue holographic projection was immediately projected on his chest. Yuzu stretched out her fingers, not yet very skilled at using the device, following the instructions on the screen to draw in the air, Yuzu was unlocking the operating posture of the watch. It didn't take long to get acquainted with its operating system.
Nangong was busy with the instrument on his chest while explaining its working principle to Yuzu. "This watch is a piece of hardware for the virtual community on board."
Nangong didn't have any additional watches for himself, so he took three thumb-sized balls with a silver metallic luster, and adsorbed them to the ground to form an obtuse triangle pattern. Soon, a holographic projection took shape in the sky.
This is a projector embedded with MR technology (Mixed Reality Technology) that can provide real-time interaction between people and the virtual environment.
"Nangong, do you rarely use MR products?"
Yuzu uses both hands, immersed in blue light and shadow, and slowly records body information into the system in front of him. Nangong sat on the gray floor.
"Well,I still prefer the immersive model of projection,MR is okay,It's just that projection is more convenient,Once you are in danger, you can react at any time,So I will use it more often."
"Danger?" The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Yuzu thought of that day, Nangong's kendo attainments on the Little Dog Star. Nangong, he must have experienced a lot of ups and downs!
After entering the relevant data of various bodies, the two stepped into a virtual space at the same time under the traction of VR glasses.
This is the virtual world built by Tamir, which everyone likes to call a virtual community.
The metaverse is a joint project between Tamir and the military. (virtual community. referred to as VC)
Cover it all in one sentence: everything.
Shopping paradise: Buying clothes will be much faster, and there are various magical functions for trying on clothes in the virtual world: size, color, and floral decoration are adjusted by yourself, and they are not limited by geographical environment and time, which is convenient and fast.
Barber Room: It's almost like changing clothes, you can fix your hairstyle, hair color, whatever you want. Or change your virtual pet with a cool magic hair accessory.
Game Community: Here you can play the game products of major game companies.
Chat, Room: You can meet with friends and family anytime, anywhere, at your own home or at your parents' house, it's up to you.
Chat and make friends: KTV, company meeting rooms, concerts and other functional places are all available.
The degree of freedom of the virtual community is extremely high, and after work, you can come and do whatever you want, and there will be no restrictions on time and place.
On holidays, VC has large celebrations such as float parades, fireworks displays, and occasionally official events such as international film festivals.
So, the virtual world, in a sense, is a different kind of planet. There are only 17 floating islands in the shape of water drops in the world, which stand above the clouds, and people's activities are generally limited to this giant island.
Below the island, from afar, there is a wild world. Giant sea turtles are followed by a series of black and yellow ornamental fish swimming in the air. Magical creatures that have never been seen before appear frequently in forests and canyons. The yellow Gobi Desert stretches as far as the eye can see, and sandstorms rage. There is a wide rainbow bridge on the sea......
The body appeared out of thin air in this big world of wind and sunshine, Yuzu's consciousness suddenly returned, looking at the familiar body in the virtual world, looking at the familiar place he was currently in, Yuzu raised his head as if he remembered something, and sighed softly.
"It's beautiful!" Every time I come here, the view is so pleasant. It's like when I was a kid, the first time I came here with Jona, everything ...... None of this has changed. These extremely nostalgic scenes appeared in front of Yuzu's eyes one by one at this moment, making the girl can't help but burst into tears. Jona's Mama ...... When she was a little girl, it was the first time she took her young self to this fantastic, cool, and magnificent world, and saw this wonderful world that was unheard of in the barren little dog star.
"This is the outer area of the VC, but unfortunately, Tamir is rarely closed to the public!"
Between the islands, rain and fog shrouded in rain.
"Isn't it open on holidays? It's so beautiful! Yuzu said regretfully.
Standing on the edge of the floating island, Yuzu cautiously poked her head out to look at the world below. Looking through the layers of clouds and mist, in the area below tens of thousands of kilometers, Yuzu saw the greenery of the warehouse. What's so interesting about that place? The eyebrows on her pale face furrowed slightly, revealing a faint look of nostalgia, she had never been there since she was a child.
"Not really. You're rarely here, the world below isn't really a forbidden area in Tamir. Throughout the year, Tamir is also open to the public several times, and each time it opens, it is ...... Oh, that situation, you should be able to expect, the crowd is full. You can't even squeeze in. ”
"Let's go, let's go out into the street, you look weird in my clothes. We'll be in Beihai right away, and we'll have to change our outfits. ”
Yuzu Wen looked under him, it was still Nangong's clothes. Only then did she realize that it had been several months since the little dog star left, and what had happened to her that day.
"Huh? You okay. Nangong saw Yuzu stunned for a while, and her little hand shook in front of her.
In a flash, the two of them disappeared into the street.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them came to a city with a unique style, with colorful streamer roads under their feet and crowded oversized buildings crowding the entire city.
Located at the top of a tall building, the wide entrance is open to the public like an apron. The flow of people coming and going here is endless.
Walking on the open street 100 meters wide, there is no traffic on the road, and the advertising information of new products is flowing around you like a stream of water. There are the youthful and beautiful faces of the stars, there is also information about product features, and there are also reports on the release of new games.
The huge buildings on both sides of the street reflect the pedestrians on the road like small people, and the shops are modern buildings made of transparent glass. The sun here is just right, and it shines brightly under a clear blue sky.
Nangong and Yuzu finally bought a few suitable fashion clothes after shopping for a few streets, and Yuzu at this time looked completely like two people from the outside, and the haze in their hearts was swept away, and their faces were full of sunny days.
Yuzu picked up the clothes very quickly, and there was no delay at all. Unlike the kind of girls who like to go shopping, it only took a few minutes for Yuzu to get all these trivial things done. After changing the delivery address to Tianma Star Beihai School Park, the next thing is waiting for the merchant to ship the goods.
Nangong did not continue to accompany Yuzu, but lazily sat on the milky glass bench by the square, facing the sun, quietly watching the five fingers of his right hand slowly clench their fists, flattened, clenched fists, flattened, clenched fists...... Nangong was doing nothing to fiddle with the body in the game.
There is not much difference between my current self and my body in the real world. The warm sunlight felt by the body, the fragrance of freedom smelled at the tip of the nose, and the elasticity and smoothness felt by the fingers touching the skin, made Nangong feel more free than the outside world.
Looking up at the sunlight passing through the clouds, I couldn't help but admire in my heart.
"People in the tech world are incredible! Compared to them, the people of our ancient martial world are completely like another species. ”
Yuzu just appeared out of thin air not far away, and after seeing Nangong on the milky white bench, he walked from under the billboard with the packaging box of his clothes, his steps were brisk, and his mood was naturally quite happy.
