Chapter Seventy-Three: Ready Player One (2)

When Xiao Mo crossed over, Kelly had just broken up with her seventh scumbag boyfriend, Tom.

So, at this moment, Xiao Mo is standing on the street.

After becoming familiar with the discomfort of the soul in another body, looking at the unfamiliar streets and strange races, Xiao Mo began to be a little nervous.

“Karry,how are you?” Xiao Mo was retrieving the route home in Kelly's memory when he heard the sound of someone talking.

Aunt Sandy is the owner of the slum commissary, and she can't help but be a little worried as she watches Kelly stand motionless on the side of the road after she breaks up with her recent boyfriend.

Xiao Mo's first reaction was English, and he didn't understand how to break it, but the meaning that automatically appeared in his mind made Xiao Mo, a person who relied on high school knowledge in college and passed the English test level 4, breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that Kelly's instinctive skills are still there, so that's good.

“Oh,I'm fine. Thank you!” Xiao Mo tentatively said in Chinese, "I'm fine, thank you!" And hearing that it was indeed in English, Xiao Mo was completely relieved. It seems that it can be automatically converted between English and Chinese, and the language barrier problem in this world has been solved.

Of course, it's perfect if you have this skill in the real world! The human automatic translation machine is a feeling when you think about it.

"Aunt Sandy, how's business going today?" Xiaomo carries forward the fine tradition of the Chinese: greetings.

"Not to mention, since the Oasis appeared, everyone doesn't seem to need the real world. On the streets, I saw people with smart gaming devices, showing their teeth and claws, and I didn't know what magic the oasis was...... "Maybe I haven't communicated with people for too long, and people are social animals." As soon as Xiao Mo asked, Sandy opened the conversation......

Xiao Mo looked at the street, and a group of students after school were passing by the commissary with their school bags on their backs. Xiao Mo saw the school's logo on their school uniform jackets: No. 23 Middle School.

They all wore goggle-wearing game access devices with eye patches, and danced with their hands. They may be in the middle of a battle for an artifact in the game, some with a painful expression of defeat on their faces, while others may be in the next level and appear elated.

They move on the road irregularly, like a group of blind people, if it is not for the front and rear of a leading teacher to take care of them, the drivers on the road are attentive, I don't know how many traffic accidents will occur.

Looking at the people waiting for the bus under the bus sign on the side of the road, they did not forget to seize the time to extend their second life in the oasis......

Next to it is a towering building, so high that it is impossible to see. Because of the population expansion, the buildings are so small that people can't see the colors of the sky.

Xiao Mo listened to Sandy's chatter, looked up, his mind was emptied, and suddenly realized that the world is vast, and you and I are just a drop in the ocean.

After a few words of greeting with Sandy, Xiao Mo found his way home with Kelly's memory.

In order to save space to the maximum, the original elevator was replaced by vines that did not take up space. People who live above the second floor can reach their residence by climbing the vines.

When passing through the fifth floor, Xiao Mo saw through the window that a little girl from 504 family angrily took off her blindfold, threw her game and said that the device was yelling on the sofa.

When passing through the seventh floor, Xiao Mo saw the house of 704, a little girl saw the pot on the stove burning, and looked for her mother in horror, but the hostess of the house was immersed in the game and asked her daughter to find her father.

When passing through the ninth floor, Xiao Mo saw that a couple completely ignored each other and occupied both ends of the sofa, each immersed in the second kingdom with game equipment.

Xiao Mo thought that when he watched the movie, Kelly was bent on saving money to move out of the slums, but the money was spent by her boyfriend in the game to win the artifact......

That's right, in Oasis you can do anything, become anything, unless you can't think of it, without which you can't achieve it. In reality, you may be a person with low self-esteem, cowardice, and being bullied, but in Oasis you can become a giant who can do anything......

However, no matter how great and admired you are in the oasis, you can only meet the food in the real world, fill your stomach, and really embrace your lover.

Dummy.

Reality.

Seeing the story of the neighbors in this building, Xiao Mo shuddered.

If everyone is immersed in the game, who will maintain order in the real world? If the real world is vulnerable and the essence of the human body is destroyed, the oasis will cease to exist.

23 floors.

Wade Watts saw his aunt Kelly go out because of a phone call in the morning, and in order to dispel the boring real world, he brought his game equipment into the oasis and began his usual search for easter eggs.

Xiao Mo opened the door with his memory and saw a boy immersed in the game, twisting the steering wheel in his hands while pressing the accelerator with his feet, guessing that this might be the first level in search of easter eggs: racing.

This boy is Kelly's nephew, the male protagonist of the movie, Wade, the real person is even more handsome than in the movie.

Xiao Mo didn't disturb Wade, who was playing the game, and returned to his room.

Despite being in the slums, Kelly's room was surprisingly clean and tidy.

The walls are a fresh pale green, and the colors of the beds are also dominated by green and blue, giving it a vibrant feel.

There are several books neatly placed on the table, one of which is spread out in the middle of the table, Xiao Mo looked at the content of the book, it is a brochure of a real estate developer, it seems that Kelly really wants to change to a new house.

Comparing the gap of one million dollars between Kelly's account balance and the real estate developer's offer, Xiao Mo knew that the key to completing his task was to make money!

In the movie, Kelly is just a cannon fodder who died not long after the male protagonist was bombed by hostile forces at the beginning, so Kelly's profession was not introduced, of course, this world tells very little about the division of labor of people in reality, and it is basically concentrated on working around the oasis.

Xiao Mo found out through Kelly's memories that she had previously worked in an oasis equipment manufacturing center as a quality inspector. Not long ago, because the company was acquired by IOI, the world's second largest game company, Kelly lost her job. In addition to the $20,000 in compensation, each person was given an additional company's product: the latest generation of Oasis access equipment.

Xiao Mo took stock of the work he could do in the real world: cook, office administration, accounting, etc.

Xiao Mo took stock of the wages of these jobs and found that if he hadn't bought a lottery ticket and became rich overnight, it would take him an estimated ten years or eight years to buy a decent house......

For now, only by finding the "easter egg" and owning the equity of the oasis can Kai Li's wish be quickly fulfilled.

Xiao Mo rummaged through the cabinets and found the game equipment that others were flocking to but Kelly was not interested in.

A feeling of dizziness, as if traveling through time and space, Xiao Mo came to the oasis world.

"Welcome to the Oasis!"

A voice with a sense of science and technology echoed in the space where Xiao Mo was.
