Using Ji Lianjia's interface, Qi Fan entered the brain-like body.

She was a little nervous at first, afraid of repeating the accidents she had in elementary school. However, when she actually stood on the ground of the virtual world, she found that there seemed to be nothing wrong.

"Look, I'll just say it's not difficult." Ji Lian also went online, and since she could choose to follow the positioning under the same physical address, the tall and thin young man Parasitism soon appeared in front of her, "Hey, why are you so short, and you are still wearing an elementary school uniform?" ”

"The last time I went online, I was in elementary school." Qi Fan explained with some unhappiness.

"Then you should change your image, it's too weird." "And your name is so weird—Mimi, is that how you pronounce it?" ”

The name can be changed once a year, and the name change can only be handled by going to the brain-like user management office and paying the fee.

But Qi fans don't know this. She casually pulled up her file and took a second to change the name to "Gardenia in the Empty Alley".

She called up the file interface that was not visible to the parasitic student, and he just found in a blink of an eye that the name tag on the chest of the elementary school student with a ponytail in front of him had been updated to "Gardenia of the Empty Alley", and he was immediately shocked: "Wait...... I just saw ......"

"You're wrong." The Gardenia of the Empty Alley said deliberately. She thought that the permission to arbitrarily call up her own and other people's files was brought by the members of the brain-like company, and she was barely one of them, so she also had this permission. But Ji Lian shouldn't know about it.

"That'...... You should quickly change your image. Parasitism had no choice but to say.

"How?" The Gardenia of the Empty Alley asked.

Jifu paid the wormhole toll and brought the empty alley to the self-service business handling station of the user management office. He explained how to design the image, how much it would cost to adjust the various aspects, how long it would take for the changes to take effect, etc......

Then I saw the gardenia of the empty alley and directly clicked on the manual service: "May I ask if I can still use this appearance modification card?" ”

Then Ji Lian saw her pull out a card with a very simple style from the card coupon bar. If he hadn't carefully studied the brain-like body, he might not have known that this card was the first-generation appearance modification product that only 5,000 copies were issued during the "antiquity" period of the brain-like body. At that time, there were still very few brain-like users, the level of development was low, and modifying appearance was only a business in the testing stage, so the appearance modification card issued could allow a constructor to modify the appearance online one-on-one, and there was no need to wait for it to take effect on the spot.

However, for the average player nowadays, this kind of card only exists in the discussion on the forums. In the early days of the commercialization of brain-like bodies, only biopunks dared to be the first people to "eat crabs". Most of the users at that time have now become the constructors of brain-like companies, which are what these ordinary people can usually see now. Not to mention that most people think that the first generation of modified cards has long been used up, that is, even if there is a leftover, everyone thinks that it will only circulate in the black market, and this price is by no means something that ordinary people will touch.

"Hello, this card works." The agent politely said, "Do you need to use it now?" ”

"Yes...... Use it now. Gardenia of the Empty Alley replied.

A video window pops up on the screen, connecting directly to a constructor in the Department of Brain-like Research. Gardenia of the Empty Alley begins to discuss with her one-on-one constructor how to modify her appearance.

Ji Lian looked numb, what is the origin of his eldest lady friend? I haven't been on the account that my parents don't let me on for two years, and I still have a first-generation modification card, which is too rich, right?

But soon he was relieved. The richer Qi Mi's family is, the better, so it makes sense for him to work hard to assist Qi Mi in "ascending the throne".

In the end, Qi Fan changed his appearance in the brain-like body to a male young man who was somewhat similar to parasitism, and his voice was adjusted accordingly. This is also something she has considered before, it is said that there are many players in the brain-like body whose appearance does not match their real gender, and the identity of a young man is not easy to attract attention.

On top of that, she also has two appearance modification cards, and if she can't change them back, it's all over - that's the difference between an internal player and a regular player.

——

After changing his image, the Gardenia of the Empty Alley followed the parasitism to the nearby wormhole traffic station.

She had never thought about what the current brain-like world would look like, and she had always thought that it was like some once popular sci-fi movie scene. The public often calls it "incredible" when referring to brain-like bodies, but it is only when she walks on the path of the virtual world that she truly feels what is "wonderful and orderly".

The sky in the brain-like body is always blue, day and night. All the streets are spotlessly clean, and on closer inspection, their surfaces are smooth and lack detail. Originally, the pavement was not made of display material, but it was "drawn" with dynamic icons. If you use the analogy of popular literature that everyone is familiar with, these dynamic surfaces are like moving photos and paintings in Harry Potter.

Right in the middle of the street is the vehicle roadway. The vehicles in the virtual world are so bizarre that people with no money ride normal bicycles and electric cars, the average rich person drives a replica of a virtual sports car in equal proportions, and the more unconventional rich people design their own modified cars and hoverboats – as long as the money is enough, the brain-like companies can also make a difference in the laws of physics. There are even those who actually drive a basket box that looks like a TARDIS on the road, and I don't know if it's really bigger inside than outside. When the constructor is paid well and is in a good mood, it is quite easy for the imaginary space of the brain-like body to be distorted.

(Note: TARDIS is a spaceship in the famous British science fiction drama "Doctor Who", with a blue police box in London on the outside, and the internal space is larger than the outside)

With so many vehicles driving on the road without colliding into each other, you still have to rely on full damage immunity on the vehicle lane. The driving level of the brain-like user is high and low, and it is obvious that Xiaobai and the old driver of road rage can not be directly thrown together without protection, and the vehicle is too different and difficult to manage, so it is simply set to the vehicle on the special lane can not be damaged.

However, there is no vehicle for parasitic life, so he lost the opportunity to take his sister around Beijing. And twelve-year-olds like them are not allowed to use other vehicles except standard bicycles and electric vehicles. Even if the appearance is designed to be a young person, the real age in the file is clearly written.

"Brain-like bodies, it's really a paradise for the rich." Parasitus sighed enviously, "Have you seen that rocket project?" There is a brain-like company that specially invites astronauts to reproduce the experience, which means that as long as you can afford it, the brain-like body can let you experience the feeling of heaven. ”

"Experiencing the heavens in the virtual world is the same as the real thing?" The voice of the Empty Alley Gardenia asked curiously through the voice changer.

"Who knows, I can't afford to pay for it anyway." Parasitism shrugged, "In the real world, people used to say that money is not everything. But when it comes to brain-like bodies, money is now basically equivalent to omnipotent. ”

Qi Fan didn't expect him to comment like this. Ji Lian was quite appreciative of the invention of the brain-like body before, but "being rich is equivalent to omnipotent", which doesn't sound like a good thing.

"I thought the brain-like body was a free world." Gardenia of the Empty Alley said.

"The free world, of course." "It is precisely because we are so free that we are like this, and there is nothing more free than capital, and the ordinary poor are so poor that they are left with only freedom." ”

"What is capital?" The Gardenia of the Empty Alley asked.

"Uh......" The parasitism is deep for only three seconds, which is a failure to pretend to be X, "Actually, I don't really understand, probably referring to money...... That's what my stepfather once said, and I think there's some truth to it. ”

Perhaps, Qi fans can't help but think that being so poor that only freedom sounds really miserable. She didn't know why she felt so strongly about poverty, but it might have something to do with her lost childhood memories.

According to her mother, some of her episomal memories may have been damaged when she first entered the brain-like body, so that she almost forgot about her life in the United States when she came out. But Qi fans don't think it matters, most normal people don't remember too much what happened before the age of four, right?
