Chapter 30: The Age of Interests

Entertainment to death is no longer considered a disease in this day and age. Because, here everyone has the unconditional right to entertain to death.

When a person indulges in play, we will feel that he is not doing his job, but when a group of people are indulged in playing, we will feel that this is a right that everyone should deserve, and it is a correct and legitimate right.

"Great citizens of Menau, welcome to the Demon Pillar." In Bai Xiaoyi's ears, there was a long and magnetic game prompt sound when he first logged into the game.

In this day and age, addiction to gaming is no longer a disease. In the last century, when a person suffered from an Internet addiction that everyone thought was a disease, he was really "sick", but now everyone is addicted to online games, and Internet addiction, which used to be recognized as a disease, has now become a normal form of entertainment.

Bai Xiaoyi also vaguely remembered that Felton Technology Company once published such a poster promoting the game in "Universe Weekly", which included a sentence that impressed Bai Xiaoyi very deeply: "We are not idle all day long, we live by games." ”

As soon as this poster came out, this sentence was cited by countless people as a motto, Bai Xiaoyi does not deny that many e-sports masters take games as a profession, but when people all over the world take online games as a profession, he more or less began to doubt whether the world is still normal.

In Bai Xiaoyi's eyes, the e-sports industry is just a bubble economy under gorgeous lies after all, and it should be that many local tyrants who have time to spend a lot of time for e-sports masters to help them spend a boring life together, but many poor people who don't have time would rather take out the fearless spirit of being willing to cut their bodies, stay alone in the rental house and eat instant noodles, and also spend a lot of time to let the e-sports master find a place for himself in the two-dimensional world.

Since his father's death, Bai Xiaoyi has suffered a series of disasters one after another, and he has been so poor that he has been so poor that he is now imminent. Bai Xiaoyi suddenly felt that the time that he valued before, fame and fortune didn't seem to be so important. The hegemony that he had gained in the online world in the past suddenly felt like a false illusion at that moment.

"Little brother, do you believe that your brother is still in the desert valley or the polar storm on the mission of special forces." Fei Qi grinned at Bai Xiaoyi, and the four arms of his upper body danced disgustingly like a snake.

"Heh, so what, aren't all people like this now?" Bai Xiaoyi's face suddenly became difficult to look at.

"Alas, Xiao Yi, I really can't bear you." Fei Qi suddenly said to Bai Xiaoyi in a childish and untouched Lori voice.

"What......" Bai Xiaoyi looked dazed, feeling that Fei Qi's appearance of pretending to be tender was really disgusting, "Can you be serious, look like five big and three coarse, pretending to be tender here, don't you feel disgusting." ”

Caron, who was sitting in the driver's seat, glanced at the left rear with very sharp eyes, and the corners of his mouth showed an "heh" expression.

"Little brother, I think your choice is completely correct, and it is a choice that transcends the times after being far-sighted."

"Huh." Bai Xiaoyi was in a low mood and didn't pay any attention to Fei Qi.

The "balloon boat" flying through the thick clouds and flying between thunder and lightning.

Through the heavy cabin glass, Bai Xiaoyi could clearly see that when the arc broke through the clouds and exploded, the shocking scene of electric light tearing was much more exciting than in the game.

"Little brother, do you know why electricity is a very clean energy source, and it will eventually be replaced by time energy?" Fei Qi didn't notice Bai Xiaoyi's frustration at all, and still chattered non-stop.

"Heh, that's not for me to decide." Bai Xiaoyi pursed his lips and clasped his hands to his chest, like a very angry child, "This is the leader's decision, I am just a plain people." ”

"Because two or three hundred years ago, Lu Xun had already said that time is life, and everyone thinks that everyone is equal before time, isn't it?" Bai Xiaoyi withdrew his gaze from the window.

The scenery outside the window is constantly changing, sometimes thunder and lightning, sometimes the wind and sunshine.

"Oh, what an idiot!" Caron, who was sitting in the cockpit, spoke.

"You...... Who are you scolding? Bai Xiaoyi was immediately furious, but if he thought about it carefully, he really didn't know why several large companies represented by Soray Technology and Felton Technology replaced electricity with time energy.

"Or think about what is driving the development of human beings, society, and even the world from primitive society to today's bizarre technological age?" Feige stopped dancing his arms and stared at Bai Xiaoyi seriously.

Bai Xiaoyi was suddenly surprised, he felt that such philosophical and truth-seeking words should not come from the mouth of a robot who plays cool all day long.

"Heh, I think you copied this passage from somewhere, if I still have my quantum chip, I will kill you immediately." Bai Xiaoyi twisted his head to the side and staggered Fei Qi's gaze.

"Uh-huh, without quantum chips, aren't you humans as powerful as our robots?" Feige got carried away, his body constantly making the sound of Katakata as the parts rubbed against each other.

"Who said I don't know, from the ancient ape man to the ancient Homo sapiens, and then from the ancient Homo sapiens to the modern human, all that is behind this is labor, labor has liberated our hands, let us evolve from reptiles to independent walking, labor has created countless wealth for us, and in the same way, it is labor that has created our world today." After speaking, Bai Xiaoyi began to sit proudly in his position like a middle school student who had finished answering the history test paper, waiting for the arrival of the marking teacher.

At this time, Caron, who was sitting in the cockpit, suddenly laughed, and Bai Xiaoyi looked at Fei Qi beside him with an embarrassed expression.

"Feiqi, let him be your partner in the future, the fight you two have is exactly the same as your original answer." After saying that, Caron couldn't help but laugh out loud.

In fact, this question was asked by Caron at the time, when Caron had just joined the robot club. One day he asked the old man what forces are maintaining the development of this world and even the entire universe.

At that time, the old man replied like this: "People always rush to all the things that are profitable in the world, and they never think that the cliff head of the cliff of profit is the mouth of the cliff." Why hasn't the world developed a literary and artistic era, but a technological future? Because there are few people in this world who can deduce its tomorrow development through the laws of physics and chemical formulas, history is inevitably born in many accidents. β€œ

Caron was silent for a long time, and suddenly felt that what the old man said obviously did not match the preamble, and the cause and effect did not match at all.

"Xiaolong, you should understand if you have a high level of understanding, many times facts tend to overturn the truth, and nothing in this world is absolutely correct."

Later, Caron took this question and asked it whenever he met people, and some people replied that the world we see now is actually a master who is planning all this, and some people replied that the picture of the universe is controlled by the forces of nature, and we can never know, and some people even replied that God is in charge of the development of the world, and all conspiracies cannot escape the eyes of the law.

All of these opportunistic answers were not the answers Caron wanted, and Caron found the recording of the old man's answers and kept playing them back, hoping to get some clues from them.

In the daily meditation, Caron continued to dig into the deep meaning of the old man's words, and only then did he realize that the continuous development of this world is entirely because of time, and to put it more concretely, it is profit.

After understanding it, Caron felt that the world was disgusting, but the old man said that the night gave you black eyes, but you have to use them to find light, and Caron did not refute again.

"I think you should both wear red scarves, and your answer must be very popular with the teacher." Caron laughed at Feige again, quickly lowering the ship's right wing and starting to dive down.

The ship immediately swooped down like a falcon and came to a halt in an uninhabited square.

In today's society, although the human population on the earth is unprecedentedly crowded, it is rare to see people on the streets. As long as you wear VR eyes, you can connect your vision to any part of the world through the network, and the immersive feeling of mechanical VR, the free rendering effect is simply refreshing.

In the public toilet, many unscrupulous young people often ignore the feelings of the public, secretly hide inside to watch *** videos, and make very loud noises from time to time, which seriously affects the image of the city.

Over time, everyone dragged a very bloated body, more than 200 pounds was already very thin, and many middle-aged men and women weighed almost 500 pounds at that time.

At that time, without liposuction and other messy surgeries, it was already a problem to take care of oneself, and it was difficult to enjoy the joy of nature while lying in bed.

But people can still lie in bed, put on VR and feel all kinds of immersive and wonderful scenes, so who wants to go shopping and walk on the street?

In the virtual world of the eternal system, we can accomplish the impossible.

In fact, there are very few real people on the streets of the whole city.

"Here we are." Caron turned off the ship and docked it firmly in the middle of the square.

"Yo ho." Feige quickly shrunk his extra two hands into a part of his body, and hurriedly put on the suit that he had prepared at some point, with a top hat and sunglasses on his head, and a pair of shiny leather shoes on his feet, "Let's go." ”

"Are you going on a blind date?" Karon and Bai Xiaoyi were both stunned by this not simple robot, "We are here to see Brother Bai, not to pick up girls." ”

"I won't talk about you wearing a suit, you still smoke? Who can't see you're a robot, greenskin. Bai Xiaoyi giggled at Feiqi's outfit.

"Heh, is there a rule that says robots are not allowed to wear clothes?" Feige retorted to Caron and Feige.

"Whatever you like." Caron used the quantum receiver to shrink the spaceship to the size of a pill, picked it up and put it in the body's storage box.

Fei Qi deliberately walked between Caron and Bai Xiaoyi, like an arrogant father who was leading his son and his personal bodyguards to "fight the grievances" for the children who were in the third grade.
