Chapter 3 Poor Students
"Haha~With the world's richest man with a surname~" There are a lot of in this class, but don't mean that they will gather around handsome guys to ask questions after class, which requires considerable courage, and the first to come to talk is the ones who sense the same kind of houses.
Anyone knows that there are so many people in a country who use the same surname, but they subconsciously play the most boring surname stalk when they don't know what to say in front of Lyle's Western face.
Despite the awkward way of talking, they took the initiative to talk, and then they will respond depending on the way Lyle answers. If it's a humorous denial, move on, and if it's a stinky and hard denial, turn around and leave.
However, Lyle's answer was that the otaku had not expected another answer, "because that's my grandfather." ”
"Huh......?" The otaku were stunned, "Uh, you're making a funny joke............ Or seriously? ”
"I don't mean to show off, but you shouldn't lie when you make new friends." Lyle doesn't have a 'never lie' paranoia, and he doesn't speak up if someone doesn't mention issues related to his family, but he doesn't bother to lie about it.
"Really!?" The otaku invariably leaned back tactically.
At the same time, the classmates who had been pricking up their ears to eavesdrop on their conversations also reacted in various ways of showing surprise, of course, not violently, because they were only half-convinced.
The otaku tried to ask, "Then, why did you transfer to country R?" Is country M bad? ”
Although they think that their country is very good, it also depends on what country they compare with, no matter how dark country M is, it is still a brother.
"Because I'm looking for employees for the new VR equipment in development," this is also a question that doesn't need to lie, at least that's how Lyle judges, "It's not programmers, but some talents with characteristics, and there are more talents in this area in country R." ”
"I am, I see." This is an overly realistic question, and the otaku look at each other, a little unsure of how to proceed.
After a while, a relatively weak-looking otaku asked, "What's that, what kind of new VR equipment is that?" ”
"At present, we are developing somatosensory clothing, which can not only control the movements of game characters with the player's movements, but also provide pressure feedback to players according to the game content." When it comes to his area of expertise, Lyle can't help but say more, "In addition, I plan to add temperature adjustment and texture change functions to simulate how players feel when they are in different environments in the game." ”
"Isn't that like being in a game world!! The otaku orgasm collectively.
Although 'otaku' is also divided into categories such as anime otaku, game otaku, and military otaku, their group all like games to a greater or lesser extent.
The previous gentle otaku asked curiously: "Which is more powerful than NERvGear?" ”
"Damn, and people, you Emperor of Europe! Do you have to ask this question? "Other otaku have voiced their denunciations, and NERvGear doesn't know when it will actually be released, but there are a very few lucky people who have successfully drawn a number to make a reservation, and Kazuto Kiritani is one of them.
Lyle shook his head and said, "No matter how much the somatosensory clothing is improved, there are still limitations to the hardware performance, and it is not as good as the unlimited potential of NERvGear." ”
"Hey, but in that case...... "The otaku were embarrassed to say it too bluntly, but since there is a better NERvGear, what kind of second-class somatosensory suits do you need?"
"Let's not talk about software problems for the time being," in fact, software problems are the focus of Lyle's research and development," although this is not suitable for me, there is a kind of commercial blackening meaning, somatosensory clothing is a peripheral, the design has fully considered the safety needs, generally unlikely to have electric shock and fire accidents, at most it is a functional failure. ”
One of them immediately answered: "And NERvGear is a brain-computer technology, and the body is almost unconscious when playing games, and I don't know what accident happened?" ”
"Wow~Book plot~" Another otaku wriggled his body disgustingly, the reason why this group of people has such a low evaluation in the group of girls, he has to bear considerable responsibility.
Lyle nodded and added: "In addition, when playing games with NERvGear, it is equivalent to handing over your life to the operator, if there is any operational accident on the operator's side, such as a power outage, a fire in the computer room, or man-made destruction, it is still unknown whether the consciousness of the players online at that time can be safely returned to the body." From this point of view, I think that it is better for NERvGear games to be operated by the government of country R itself, which is always safer than for companies to manage themselves. ”
“…… I suddenly don't want to buy NERvGear. The other house patted Kiritani and people on the shoulder with a lonely face.
Kiritani and people smiled bitterly: "Don't say it so terrifying, if other companies can take things out and sell them, they will definitely take safety measures." ”
"Haha, I'm just talking about the advantages and disadvantages of NERvGear and somatosensory suits, because it's really not advisable to choke on food, that will hinder the progress of the times~" Lyle gave a thumbs up to Kazuto.
As for his worries, which eventually turned into a fact, one of his first friends after transferring to another school was trapped in the game world for a long time, and that was half a year later.
》》》》》》》
All the faculty and staff were informed that there was an investment project involving an unknown number of dollars behind it, and no one would deliberately let the newly arrived Lyle get up to answer the questions as if they were at fault, and the morning class was spent peacefully.
It's time for the lunch break –
"By the way, don't you all eat your own bento boxes and bread?" Although he was satisfied with the exquisite set meal that was a 'canteen product', Lyle originally preferred to go to the commissary to grab the fried noodle bread.
"Even if you eat bread, it's not nutritious to eat every day, and it's common to bring a bento from home, but the value of the canteen can't be denied." The otaku smiled when they heard the foreigner's prejudice, because they all knew where it came from.
"Not all schools have canteens, and smaller schools will give up canteens for funding and food safety reasons," he added. ”
The idea of developing schools in country R is basically the same as that of enterprises, and some schools are easy to be merged or bankrupt if the admission rate is not high, or the enrollment rate is not high.
If there is a mass food poisoning incident, the school will basically lose money; If we pay attention to food safety, we will inevitably increase the price, and if the price is too high, more students will choose to bring lunch boxes from home, and if the food cannot be sold, they will lose money.
"That's right...... It's okay, anyway, I haven't eaten a canteen lunch in country R. Lyle looked around and spotted a familiar face, "The table over there is empty, shall we go over?" ”
"Huh? It's not so good over there. The house hurriedly persuaded him.
Lyle wondered, "What's the matter, there is a conflict between you?" I think Uesugi is a good person, he's serious, and he helped me move the table just now. ”
"There is no contradiction...... It's just that eating with Uesugi and Yui is a bit of a thing. "The otaku secretly added in their hearts, 'Especially you'.
"Are you afraid that you won't find a common language? There's no need to dwell on this kind of thing. Ignoring the dissuasion of the housekeepers, Lyle walked over and sat down, immediately noticing the abnormality at the table, "Huh? ...... you guys? ”
"Lyle-san?" Only I was fortunate enough to poke the only ingredient of the homemade bento with chopsticks', 'bean sprouts', and said with a wry smile, "That, our family background is a little difficult......
"Everyone thinks that the cheapest thing in the student cafeteria is rice, but in fact, if you don't need to barbecue for the barbecue set, you can get a miso soup and pickles for the price of rice, although you can't use it Lyle, but this is my big discovery after coming to this school~" Uesugi picked up the rice without any embarrassment.
“…… We'll talk about it. The otaku whispered.
Some people do laugh at students from poor families, but these people have very good personalities, but they don't want to eat with the two of them with a normal set meal in their hands, and it feels like giving the food to each other, and it feels unreasonable not to give it to each other.
"Is your family in trouble?" Lyle looked the two classmates up and down (although one of them had just met), felt that their reaction was quite pleasant, and asked, "Does this school prohibit students from working part-time?" ”
"No, there is no such rule." And people answered.
"Although I originally wanted girls, but ......," Lyle tilted his head, "I need a short-term tutor and a long-term tour guide, do you want to apply?" ”
