"All along, my father has strongly opposed me to work at Leili Technology, and for this reason, we even completely turned our faces for a while!

But when I was younger, I was rebellious and tough, and I always liked to confront my father...... In addition, he has a lot of interest in the game industry and is very eager for the metaverse, so he chose to major in game programming despite his resistance during college, and after graduation, he naturally entered Leili Technology. ”

The contradictions and frictions of the past are now spoken out of Ma Xingkong's mouth and have become memories worth remembering.

Ma Xingkong's explanation resonated with You Xiaobai, and the scene when her mother asked her to chop vegetables came to mind, and she said to herself: "My mother always forced me to learn to cook, but I didn't like to learn...... My hobbies were singing and playing the piano, but she just didn't support me. ”

Although Xiaobai, who is nearly 20 years old, is still unhappy every time he thinks of his mother's serious face back then; But if I had known that the "Spirit Tribulation" would separate me from my parents, I would have regretted that I didn't listen to my mother much at the beginning!

Silently looking at the two who resonated with their memories, Luo Lei's expression was low and he didn't say a word......

Looking at Ma Xingkong's eyes looking at Marco, Luo Lei seemed to see a fledgling eagle, constantly waving his wings, just to get rid of the protection of the powerful eagle and soar in the sky that belongs to him;

And You Xiaobai is like a little dolphin who has left his parents, finally able to sing freely in the ocean, but there are no relatives to listen......

And what about yourself?

The memories of his parents that remain in his mind are equivalent to zero!

Except for the nightmare I had every night......

In the dream, he fell into the deep sea, and his body sank with the shattered ship;

desperately wanted to go upstream, but in exchange for only a heavy feeling of suffocation, and deep despair;

At the same time, a man sank faster from his side to the bottom of the sea, and the man's face could stiffen with shock and confusion as it crossed his gaze;

Later, a strong hand stretched out from above and lifted him out of the sea, and the absolute power was almost irresistible......

When Luo Lei was a child, he once thought that the strong arm belonged to his father;

But as he grew older and his dreams kept reappearing, he began to suspect that the man who sank to the bottom of the sea was more likely to have something to do with him!

Because every time he met the man's gaze, Luo Lei's heart would have a fierce shock;

And that arm, what gave him more awe and fear.

But no matter what......

Dreams are just dreams!

Awakening from his contemplation, Luo Lei involuntarily stroked his forehead and sighed......

He didn't have any memories of his parents in his head at all;

Or rather, there is no memory of the age of eight!

If it is said that the eagle will spread its wings, the dolphin will swim,

At the moment he felt like a snake hidden in a black hole,

Without races and memories, they can only keep hunting and devouring other creatures in exchange for their own growth!

Amusing;

It's so ridiculous that he can't laugh out!

……

After briefly reminiscing about the past, Ma Xingkong walked up to Luo Lei and handed Luo Lei a chip the size of half a thumb.

"By scanning my father's hippocampus, I extracted all the existing memories in his mind, and based on these memory scenes, I wrote a virtual world with a 'linear timeline' running through it, and his current consciousness is in that world," he said. ”

"Plug this chip into your VR device and you can connect to it."

Luo Lei thought for a while, took the chip and looked at it in front of him for a while, and asked, "What do you need me to do in there?" ”

"It's easy!"

Ma Xingkong replied seriously: "Enter this metaverse that contains my father's spirit, find every most critical point in his life, and do everything possible to encourage him and help him complete his dream of landing on Mars!" ”

Luo Lei glanced at Ma Xingkong and had some doubts in his heart.

To be honest, it's okay for normal people to have such and such desires; But this desire is somewhat contrary to the mouth of "Rocket Maniac" Marco.

I always feel ...... It's more like the wish of the weak or the loser!

But in the end, he just smiled and didn't say much.

However, as if knowing what Luo Lei was thinking, Ma Xingkong explained: "Brother Luo, I believe you should know better than anyone else...... Everyone has one ultimate wish in their life that they want to accomplish and are passionate about it! But this passion and motivation will slowly wear off over time, and most people will not be able to stick to their original aspirations. ”

"But have you ever thought that if you had to do it all over again, let a person spend his whole life doing only one thing?"

Ma Xingkong's expression was a little fanatical.

Luo Lei was puzzled: "But your father is the kind of person who only does one thing in his life; He did refine physics and engaged in the new energy industry, but these proud achievements laid a solid foundation for his later entry into the rocket manufacturing industry......

And what I want to say is that even if he doesn't land on Mars in the end, it doesn't mean that he is a mediocre person, on the contrary, he is more successful than everyone in this world! ”

The little white beside him nodded again and again.

Ma Xingkong shook his head and said: "I'm not discussing with you my father's personality - landing on Mars, this is his wish to me personally, I don't want to analyze, and I don't have time to analyze how this wish came about, I just want to help him realize it...... Even in the virtual world! ”

Glancing at Marco's detector, Luo Lei didn't dwell too much on this issue, but said, "Why don't you enter this metaverse by yourself?" ”

"I'm his son, and I've long existed in his memory axis, so I'm an NPC in it......"

Ma Xingkong smiled bitterly: "Besides, if it were you, would you listen to your son when there is a key choice moment in your life!?" ”

Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh when he said this: "That maybe...... By the way, do you have a son? ”

"Nope."

Luo Lei glanced at her, and asked Ma Xingkong again: "Then how do you know that he will listen to me?" Didn't you say that your father was a strong man? ”

"I'm not sure!"

Ma Xingkong said: "But I think that if there is anyone in this world who can talk to my father on an equal footing, it is only you!" ”

Tapping Luo Lei's chest with his finger, he said in a deep voice: "You were his old friend, and you were the biggest competitor in your life, and even ...... And the only one who really defeated him! ”

"Besides, I think that in order to realize his wish, we must go back to the time of his childhood or youth, and use all means to strengthen and encourage him, so that he will be more determined in this wish, and finally realize it by his own means!"

He didn't hesitate to say what he thought, and it was clear that this method had been in his plan for a long time.

Xiaobai agreed: "Indeed, if you can achieve your wishes with your own strength, you will indeed be happy in life." ”

But in the blink of an eye, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Little Brother Ma, in fact, you just wanted to say that you weren't born when Uncle Marco was a teenager, right?"

Ma Xingkong still maintained a personable gentlemanly face, trying his best to hide his inner embarrassment.
