Luo Lei and You Xiaobai walked on the greenway of the garden party;

Ahead, the little pony who was being held by his mother took a cheerful little step, obviously still immersed in the joy of receiving the prize.

Colorful and interesting caravan vendors can be seen everywhere, attracting the boy to look around and show joy from time to time, leading his mother to look here and there, for fear of missing any of the highlights.

This situation and this scene inevitably made Luo Lei and Xiaobai feel the same way-

It would be nice if time could freeze now.

About a quarter of an hour later, when his mother saw that Marco was crying out that he was hungry, she took him to a random food stall and sat down.

It seems that little Marco is a "carnivore" like most boys of his age, and when he gets up to the paralyzed man, he immediately points to the meat skewers and grilled sausages; Knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, she knew that she couldn't resist her son's mother in this matter, so she had to comply, ordered one for each of them, and asked for a sour and spicy pickled cucumber.

Not far away, Xiao Bai stretched out his head to stare at their food, and after a while, his nose actually smelled the aroma from the roast, the aroma of the roast meat and the crackling sound of the charcoal fire made Xiao Bai sigh at the magic of this metaverse technology product, but at the same time found that his stomach was also screaming.

Unexpectedly, just the existence of consciousness in a virtual space can actually induce gluttonous insects, Xiaobai began to wonder if this linear timeline was too real, or if he was originally a foodie.

Her kitten naturally couldn't escape Luo Lei's eyes when she saw the appearance of the fish, and she saw the glasses man shaking his head helplessly, stepped forward and smiled: "Hungry?" ”

Xiaobai subconsciously wanted to nod, but he desperately wanted to clench his mouth and turn his head away.

"Haha."

Seeing this, Luo Lei didn't say a word, just moved his mind; The two of them's virtual bodies at this moment gradually turned from virtual to real, and in less than a few seconds, they turned into entities that could be seen by the naked eye.

Xiaobai, who felt the abnormality, was startled at first, but Luo Lei swaggered to another empty table by the food stall and sat down, raised his big hand and said very chicly: "Boss, five grilled sausages, ten meat skewers, two bottles of soda, and a pickled cucumber!" ”

"Here comes brother!"

The owner of the food stall is a typical chef, with a strong body and a highly recognizable bald head, and he seems to be a bold person; I saw that he was skilled in business, and he put the food on the plate with three times and divided five by two, and brought it to Luo Lei like a gust of wind, and did not forget to praise his own taste succinctly when he left.

After Luo Lei greeted with a smile, he beckoned to the stunned Xiaobai on the side.

"What are you doing! That's the right thing to do! ”

Xiaobai, who came scolding, seemed to be tight, but the eyes that had never left the food betrayed her mercilessly.

"Come on, you." Luo Lei sneered: "I have long seen that you are a foodie, and on the night in Lin Hai Snow Plain, most of my roasted hare entered your mouth." ”

The girl in the prime of her youth couldn't hear this, she was suddenly ashamed and annoyed, and was about to fight but was interrupted by Luo Lei: "Don't get in the way!" Sit down and try it, if I'm right, you've never experienced what it's like to eat in the metaverse, right? ”

When he said this, Xiaobai thought to himself! So he climbed down the pole and sat down, pretending to be a gourmand tasting the dishes, picked up a shiny and slippery kebab and said, "Then I'll reluctantly taste it." ”

Pretending not to see Luo Lei snickering, she took a bite of it, and was instantly filled with the taste and tenacity of the meat, and the sweetness of the burnt ingredients of the roasted food merged into a mysterious force, which made her feel refreshed and lingered.

"It's delicious, isn't it? It's even better than the best yakiniku I've ever had! ”

Xiaobai's jaw dropped in shock: "Uncle Su in our village is a must-have for making barbecue, I thought that his old man's craftsmanship had reached the peak, but I didn't expect to be able to eat so delicious in this virtual world, it's just ......"

"It's terrifying."

Luo Lei said suddenly.

"Huh?"

Xiaobai didn't react at once, thinking that he had misheard.

At this time, Luo Lei took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and said: "The reason why you think these foods are supremely delicious is because of the set parameters of the linear timeline, a product of the metaverse; When the human spirit enters a specific virtual world, the acuity of the five senses is naturally controlled by the system behind the metaverse! Obviously, most metaverse products are as high as possible in the initial setting of the value of taste. ”

He took another sip, looked at Xiaobai and said, "The purpose is to make people addicted and addicted to the metaverse." ”

Xiaobai, who was originally feasting, heard these words, and suddenly felt a thrill, and the barbecue and sausage in his hand almost fell to the ground without pinching, and when he looked at it again, it didn't seem to be so fragrant.

"And ......"

Luo Lei seemed to talk about sex, and continued: "The enjoyment type is full, but the feedback effect such as 'pain' is minimized, and even some products do not set feedback at all; just imagine, if a person is in this environment for a long time, even those adults with perfect cognition, over time will gradually become sensory numb, lose the most basic acuity as a living being, let alone minors." ”

Xiao Bai also felt that his words made a lot of sense, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong there, and it took him a long time to remember, and he said angrily: "That...... The metaverse is not something you created yet! ”

With that, he put the food back on the plate.

Seeing this, the boss not far away thought that there was something wrong with his own meal that caused the guests to be dissatisfied, and was about to come forward to communicate and ask, but was scolded back by Luo Lei with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's fun!"

Luo Lei turned around and signaled that the boss didn't have to come over, and then turned back to Xiaobai and said, "Why are you so excited?" I'll just talk about it casually...... Eat it, don't waste it if it's so delicious. ”

Xiaobai is furious! Dare to love this man with glasses is making fun of her? He was about to fight immediately, but when he thought about it, the two of them were now in a physical state, and his every move was watched by the people around him, especially when the pony was close at hand, so he had to swallow his anger.

While the two were messing around, the next table heard the sound of little Marco and his mother talking......

"Come, good son, take a bite of pickled cucumbers." Mother said.

"Huh? Mom, I don't want to eat. "Little Pony said.

"Well, listen to Mom." Mother said softly.

"Don't eat it, don't eat it, it's too sour!" Pony is impatient.

"How can you go without vegetables all day? You see this cucumber pickled sour and spicy, just to your favorite taste. ”

Seeing that his mother was still persuading him, Xiao Ma was obviously not an ignorant bear child, so he forced himself to sing a mouthful, chewed and swallowed with difficulty, and said, "I ate it!" ”

The mother was about to praise her, but she heard someone behind her shouting her name; When I looked back, I saw that it was an acquaintance, and I responded enthusiastically.

"You're here so early?" The same middle-aged woman came, but no children followed.

"Marco, this kid did well in the exam this time, bring him to buy some gifts as a reward." The mother smiled and touched her son's head.

"Our ponies are so good!" When the middle-aged woman heard this, she also praised it.

Seeing that the other party also praised her son, how could a mother not be happy, and the smile on her face instantly became stronger.

The middle-aged woman smiled: "You have to help me come up with ideas today, my eldest family is ten years old this year, and the family has to be well decorated." ”

When they said this, Xiao Ma was bored, pulled his mother's hand and said, "Mom, you and Auntie are busy, can I take a look around by myself?" ”

When the mother heard this, she subconsciously felt uneasy, but when she thought that there were all the townspeople here, and the neighborhood was also where her son often came to play, she didn't stop him, but just told him not to run around, and to be within the range of people.

Little Pony nodded in agreement and left happily with his bag on his back.
