Chapter 56: Recuperation#
It's easy to wait until the autumn harvest has soaked enough to come out of the hot spring pool, and the two of them wanted the legendary god to show them the skills of mixing in the old city, but they got the autumn harvest and said: "Not today...... I have to work overtime today. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow may not work...... I'll talk about that later. ”
"Your Excellency Autumn Harvest, when are you free?" Parasitism asked.
"I have a lot of space, but why is little XUO practicing fighting zombies." Qiu Harvest was wearing a yukata, and turned around suddenly, so frightened that Gardenia and Jifusheng hurriedly turned their heads away, "You two really plan to go to Hongxue?" ”
Parasitism thought that this person would not be a pervert, and if he didn't have time this week, he wouldn't be able to catch up with their progress, so he said, "Let's just say that, you have something to do." ”
"Huh." Qiu Shui raised his eyebrows and said casually, "It's slippery, you remember to do your homework when you go back." Then he disappeared into the humid air of the sandbank hot springs.
Really...... Let's go.
The parasitism was still soaked in the water, and he turned around and patted the empty alley on the shoulder: "Hey, empty alley, what the autumn harvest said also makes sense-"
"Turn around!" The Gardenia of the Empty Alley slapped his hand away.
By the way, Qi Fan is a real girl. Ji Fusheng hurriedly coughed twice and apologized: "I'm sorry I forgot...... Well, I didn't mean to come to the hot springs with the autumn harvest. ”
Who knew that the empty alley was calm again: "It's okay." I just didn't get used to it...... It's really different from the real world in the brain-like body. ”
——
Qi Min didn't actually mean to go offline in this "O. Henry-style" way, but she was thinking about asking Anton to go online to harvest zombies, but a message from Anton appeared in front of her, telling her to hurry offline and pack up her things.
Pulling out the thread from his head, Qi Min sat up from the sofa and found that his hand swept onto the coffee table as he collapsed unconsciously, knocking over the black tea in the cup. She made this cup of tea before she went to work in the morning, thinking that she would be able to drink it after an hour of rest. But during the first break, Qi Min habitually retreated to the status of an ordinary player and went to Baihua Street to drink milk tea with stockings.
Since the activity of consciousness takes place in the brain-like body, consciousness is indeed affected by the assimilation of the brain-like body, so it needs to take a break every once in a while. But this kind of rest does not necessarily have to be offline, as long as you retreat to the status of a normal player, let the consciousness activity take place in your original brain, and there is no longer a risk of assimilation. However, usually, after an hour of high-intensity work, the employees of the brain-like company will want to get up in the real world to drink and eat or respond to the call of nature, but Qi Min's "Internet addiction" is obviously not comparable to those ordinary people.
During the second break, Qi Min went directly to Yelena, who was Doposa, as the autumn harvest. During the third break, I went to have lunch in the virtual world with Li Yanjing. Then it was lunch time in the real world, and after the meal, Qi Min also pulled Anton online to play a new track in the mechanical town. After the fourth break, Qi Min and Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan's conversation did not end, so they made an appointment to talk about the rest of the matter in the Sky City in Beijing as an ordinary player...... In the end, the cup of tea was not drunk, but spilled on the coffee table.
Qi Min stood up a little sleepy, thinking that last night because of the long time spent in the old city, which squeezed out the sleep time, the body in the real world seemed to be still in a state of exhaustion. She glanced at the treadmill on the balcony next to her—it had become a must-have piece of furniture for long-time brain-like office workers to maintain muscle strength and coordination—and it occurred to her that it was more important to pack her things.
Of course, this "packing up" will not be much work for Qi Min, who is "not diligent". It's just because Qi Min plans to take Anton anonymously to go out to recuperate with the people in the marketing team of the management department, but after all, she is also a CTO with busy affairs, and she has to arrange everything before leaving. Although there must be a brain-like body in the hotel where she is recuperating, it is unlikely that she will be on call 24 hours a day, and she must first shake off the BUG that has no liver finish left at hand, and upload the relevant records from the PC to the cloud of the brain-like company by the way.
However, it was such a small matter, and Qi Min still delayed until the night before departure. It can't be helped, she's such a selective procrastination everywhere, and she can stay up all night when she is interested, but transactional work is often delayed until the last minute. If it weren't for Bai Rong, as the secretary of the CTO, who set all kinds of deadlines, the R&D department probably wouldn't know how many things went wrong because of Qi Min's habits.
Speaking of which, Bai Rong is really good. Qi Min silently thought that the undergraduate student who went to her laboratory for paddling and internship was almost suspended from school because his sexual orientation was different from that of the so-called "normal" people. The leaders of the Chinese Technical University probably couldn't have imagined that even if Bai Rong only barely got a graduation certificate and did not study for a doctorate, he finally became the No. 1 in the R&D department of the brain-like company, which can be called a young and promising figure.
Although this young man still jokingly called his current work "paddling" and "giving Teacher Qi a hand". But perhaps the nature of the work hasn't changed much.
Maybe it's some kind of delusion. Qi Min suddenly felt that even if she left now, the R&D department of the brain-like company would be able to operate normally. Of course, perhaps this in itself is due to the fact that she, the founder, is still too Buddhist, and does not seem to have put forward any strategic advice other than supporting expansion as always. Qi Min is indeed the backbone of the R&D department – both mentally and technically – but these jobs don't require her to be present in the real world.
Maybe in the future, she will be able to do better in these aspects by integrating with the brain-like body.
It's just that if the contradiction between the grassroots administrator and the senior management department cannot be resolved in the short term, Qi Min may really have to leave the real world in the near future. The introduction of the physical law system can divert the public's attention to a certain extent at first, but the contradiction of the management department is essentially an irreconcilable contradiction between capitalist labor and capital, and it will certainly be completely exposed as the public's interest in the new physical law system wanes.
At that time, there will be the problem of dead souls, the problem of the black market, and the gray operations carried out by various capitals using the legal vacuum of brain-like bodies...... These contradictions arise with the creation of the brain-like body, and accumulate exponentially with the rapid expansion of the brain-like body, and will erupt at that point in time when the management department is out of control.
At that time, it was also the time when Qi Min would turn into a dead soul, and this recuperation - she had to think that this recuperation was the first recuperation activity she had participated in since the establishment of the brain-like company, and it might be the last.
