Mordin exited the platform and took off the VR headset he wore on his head.

Nothing else is left to chance.

He starts by counting the harvest.

kill a lieutenant-level officer, and reward 1,500 yuan;

1,000 yuan for 4 fighters;

seized 4 robot captain-level individual missiles at a discount of 4,000 yuan;

Destroy a patrol airship and reward 800 yuan;

commission of 3,000 yuan;

The total income is 10,300 yuan.

Expenditures:

1 high-pressure armor-piercing cone is 1000 yuan;

200 yuan for a rocket;

5 rounds of bullets 25 yuan;

The total expenditure was 1,225 yuan.

Make ends meet:

Net income 9075.

With the squid 6:4 divided,

This time, his net income was 5,445 yuan;

The squid earned 3,630 yuan.

After settling the account, Mordin immediately transferred the squid's due income to him, and the squid happily accepted it, and sent a smiling face, more than 3,600 yuan, which allowed him to spend money for a while.

And Mordin is also very satisfied with this harvest, it has been a long time since he caught this kind of fat sheep of the rank of captain.

The most valuable thing this time should be the 4 robot captain-level individual missiles, but because they can't be directly used by the human legion, they can only be disassembled and used, so the missiles were sold to the next family at a very low price.

If the activation code can be deciphered, the selling price of these four missiles will be at least 50,000 yuan.

It's a huge amount of money! It's a pity that they don't have the ability to do it yet, and those who have it don't bother to do such a low-profit job.

Then there is the robot lieutenant-level officer who was killed, and he was rewarded with a system of 1,500 yuan. But if Mordin belonged to any human army, then such military merits would be rewarded at least more than 10,000 yuan, and so would the patrol boat.

The main purpose of the army is to kill the robot living force and occupy the territory. Mordin: They are a guerrilla and have their territory everywhere, so they can only profit from system rewards and captured materials.

As for the commission for being a bodyguard, there is no single order, and it is not their main source of income.

"Now it's getting harder and harder to make money, it's full of risks, and the returns are low. He muttered to himself, "Shouldn't I change careers and serve in the military, where the salary is stable and the rewards are high?" ”

He finally took a look at the latest balance of the account: 275,000 yuan.

That's a lot of money!

He's very good at making money!

For ordinary young people, with so many savings, it should be regarded as a lot of wealth.

Mordin, however, frowned.

"It's not enough!" he frowned.

Mordine is 17 years old, has just graduated from high school, and he is in dire need of a large sum of money.

After graduating from high school, he plans to apply for the Materials Branch of Xiamen University of Technology, where Professor Zhou Li, a nationally renowned authority on condensed matter physics, will take classes.

According to the data of previous years, the competition for applying for that major is very fierce, and the tuition fee is extremely high, 700,000 yuan a year, because the students taught by others are cattle, and big-name institutions are rushing to ask for it.

If Professor Zhou Li is still a public university, if it is a private university, with his prestige, the tuition fee will be increased more than ten times, and the children of those rich people are still flocking to it.

"There are still more than 400,000 left!" the boy said worriedly.

If other people's children can be admitted to this nationally renowned major, their parents will be proud to spend this money to send their children to college, but Mordin has no parents.

Yes, he's an orphan.

He grew up in the Taoist temple under Huanglong Mountain since he was a child, and the old man who brought him back was the host of the Taoist temple, who was more than 100 years old.

When Mordin had just turned 12 years old, Daoist Qingxu asked him to earn everything independently except for room and board at the Taoist temple!

Although he does not need to pay tuition fees to go to junior high school and high school, he needs to spend money on snacks, toys, clothes, and even food, lodging, and transportation to go to high school in other places.

He earned all this money himself! He had already been a mixed society for a long time.

Now he needs to earn money for his upcoming college tuition.

The place where the boy makes money is the network he just quit, which has a nice name, called the Eden Light Network.

But it's not just a game network, it's not just a virtual world, it's a real battlefield: a duel between humans and robots, where robots have driven humanity to the brink of collapse.

Mordin has been earning his living expenses in such a bloody and fire-and-fire cyber battlefield.

——————————————————————————————-

The Eden Light Network was originally created by a group of God-believing human elites.

For a long time, intelligent robots have oppressed human intelligence in all directions, and the human brain has been declining.

Humans who dominate the planet with the intelligence of their brains are about to be defeated by machines of their own making.

There is a special elite group that firmly believes that human beings were created by God and are the spirits of all things, and they can never be replaced by intelligent robots. So they created the Eden Light Private Network to challenge artificial intelligence technology.

Crystal Ball Entertainment, the world's largest artificial intelligence technology conglomerate, accepted their challenge.

As a result, the AI supercomputer is connected to the Eden Light network.

The two sides immediately launched a fierce competition on this platform, ranging from solving mathematical problems to cutting-edge quantum metaphysics, from chess and card competitions to large-scale military wars, in short, all aspects of life can be used on this platform to compete, even including artistic performances and poetry creation.

It was at this time that the concept of "companion life" was put forward and widely used by the elites.

The so-called companion life is an intelligent computer that accompanies a person from the moment he is born and accompanies him for a lifetime. The learning system of artificial intelligence learns the person's personality, temperament, hobbies, way of thinking and even value orientation from the person's infancy, so that after a long period of running-in, a stable and strong cooperative relationship between people and computers is established.

This is a completely personalized artificial intelligence customization system, which forms a "heart-to-heart connection" between humans and machines, which is equivalent to a person's second brain, a powerful and loyal partner.

It is impossible for humans to compete with machines with their biological brains, but the strength of humans is their creative thinking. Thus, such a powerful tool as the combination of man and machine was born.

Since the advent of companionship, the elites have won and lost each other in the race against supercomputers, and finally reversed the situation in which mankind has been in absolute decline.

This game has aroused great interest from the outside world, and the news media have followed up and reported, thus attracting more and more young people and even scientists to join this man-machine war, and more and more "half-baked" companions have also been put into use, and the computing power of the Eden Light Network has also shown a geometric progression.

Under the leadership of dozens of powerful multinational companies led by the Crystal Ball Group, capitalists have invested tens of thousands of supercomputers to form an artificial intelligence alliance to confront more and more human elites.

After more than ten years of development, the light of Eden network platform has evolved from a single human-machine confrontation platform, and has evolved into an all-encompassing, incomparably huge virtual social country, it has more than 1.5 billion registered users in the world, and the supercomputers supporting the operation of this network have also increased to an eye-popping 110,000 units!

In such a large-scale online world, there are huge business opportunities, and businessmen are moved by it, and they have invested huge sums of money, or joined robot groups, or joined the human army, and made a lot of money.

After a period of development, the way of man-machine competition has taken a new turn.

In order to satisfy the aggressive nature of human beings and attract more young people to join, several international giants simply established the Robot Warrior Alliance, formed a robot army, and began to launch organized military operations against humans.

This trick really worked, the human camp soon formed its own corps to fight back, a large number of students also joined the "defend the homeland" war, the two sides fought happily, the light of Eden network became more popular, and all kinds of funds such as carp across the river have been invested in it to get a piece of the pie.

Just as the Eden Light network is in full swing, people find that the rules of the platform are quietly changing.

About 5 years ago, the gold diggers of the Eden Light Network suddenly discovered that someone was secretly collecting taxes from them, all kinds of taxes, such as resource tax, profit tax, transaction tax, etc. And not only the human camp, but even the robot camp controlled by several giants have to pay the same tax.

Who would dare to pluck the feathers on the tiger's head! A thorough investigation began immediately.

At first, people thought that some powerful hacker had hacked into the entire network system in order to steal their wealth. But after checking it, I found out that the entire platform system was actually collecting taxes from them!

The "system" unconsciously completed the control of the underlying rules of the Eden Light platform, and the two camps of man and machine have lost their control over the Eden Light Network, and can only participate in the formulation of the rules of the "system" through the "consultation" mechanism.

The sudden appearance of the concept of "system" casts a layer of mystery over the Edenlight web.

Exactly who is in charge of this "system" has always been a mystery. Due to the sheer size of the Eden Light Network, there are more than a million supercomputers connected to it, and the software and data running on it have accumulated to an astronomical amount, and it is impossible to find out the cause through back-end software and data tracking.

The most important thing is that the profits of the giants have not decreased, because people have found that in addition to paying taxes, there are also some behaviors that can be rewarded by the system, such as military merits, investment in new computing resources, new works of art, new technology creation, and so on.

Therefore, the giants continue to invest in supercomputers, and they get more profits because of the rewards and shares in computing capacity.

The investigation was put on hold in this way, of course, it is not excluded that someone is investigating in secret, nor does it rule out that those giants are jointly making trouble, all this is being done in secret, and the truth is not known to outsiders.

This sudden change has further aroused people's enthusiasm to participate in the Eden Light network.

For a part of the human elite, the emergence of intelligent systems with autonomous consciousness means the beginning of a real human-machine confrontation, and they have given this mysterious "system" a resounding name: "Old Peter". Since then, a large number of hackers who have specifically targeted "Old Peter" have emerged, and they have compiled all kinds of computer virus software to invade supercomputer systems in the hope of being able to pull out "Old Peter" by the tail. Another group of hackers tried every means to hack into the computers of the oligarchs of the consortium that owned the supercomputers, hoping to find evidence of the conspiracy played by the giants.

Mordin's network partner, the Deep Sea Squid, is one of those activists.

However, nothing came of it.

For the vast majority of ordinary people, whether the "system" is human or intelligent machine, they have no time to care. As long as you can make money on this platform, make friends happily, and participate in thrilling and exciting war scenes, it is enough.

It is not easy to find a job in this world now, the manufacturing industry is basically contracted by robots, and the rest of the service industry jobs are very competitive, and the salary is generally not high. Being able to have such a virtual platform to make money is the main job of most people, and it is also an important way to earn money to support their families.

Mordin has been earning his pocket money on the network since he was 12 years old.

Qingxu Daoist didn't give nothing, he at least invested in Mo Ding's portable computer, which is the small and exquisite portable computer that Mo Ding has at hand now. The Taoist said to Mordin that he would receive his return on investment after 10 years, and Mordin asked him how much it was, and the Taoist just said: It's expensive!

Out of all the hardships and risks of being a guerrilla, Mordin has wanted to change industries more than once to make money, and joining the army is a good choice for him, where there is a fixed salary, there are rich rewards for killing robots and capturing equipment, and he can also be compensated by the army if he hangs on the battlefield.

But he also has difficulties, the army is a disciplined force and must be on call. But he couldn't, not because he wasn't used to being restrained, but because he didn't have the time.

Because he still has to cultivate.

The Qingxu Daoist once taught him a kind of cultivation exercise, called "Taixu". And told him: play less games and practice more!

Speaking of his cultivation, it still originated from an accidental incident, and it was because of a group of monkeys.

The Taoist temple where Mo Ding lives is backed by a big mountain, called Huanglong Mountain, which is a steep and tall main peak in the Donggong Mountain Range in southern Zhejiang. In the past, there were groups of macaques on Huanglong Mountain, and Mordin often played with the monkeys on the mountain. Now there is not even a single monkey in Huanglong Mountain, and in Mordin's opinion, it is all because of the black stoat.

Mordin still felt creepy at the sight of the black ferret, which was pitch black, with huge wings, and a head like that of a weasel with sharp teeth. The black stoat bird preys on small monkeys, and after it catches the little monkeys, it bites open the head of the little monkey with its sharp teeth and sucks the brain marrow inside.

About five years ago, Mordin was bitten the back by the black stoat bird in order to save a beloved little monkey, and almost died. Soon after, the black stoat and the group of monkeys in Huanglong Mountain disappeared inexplicably. On Mordin's back, there was a small scar, and besides, the abominable black stoat also transmitted to him an inexplicable virus, a neurotropic virus, which no medicine could completely kill.

It was from that time that Mo Ding was asked by the Qingxu Dao Master to practice a meditation exercise called "Taixu", which seemed to have a restraining effect on the virus, and in the past five years, Mo Ding's practice has been slightly successful, and the strange virus in his body seems to have disappeared cleanly.

The most important feature of the practice of Taixu Gong is that the practitioner's consciousness enters another world after meditation, and when you go out of meditation depends on the results of your cultivation, sometimes for one hour, sometimes for a whole night or even several days. Armies often need to have a full continuous period of time, and Mordin's situation is obviously inappropriate.

Cultivation is not completely without benefits, at least, through years of meditation and visualization, Mordin's brain thinking is obviously faster than ordinary people, and his memory is better, so his ability to make money in the Eden Light Network is naturally stronger.

In 3 years of high school, he was the first in the whole grade every year.
