Chapter 1 Code 0854
The endless darkness was finally broken, and a beam of light traveled a hundred years into the year 2167.
In the world under the metaverse, capital dominates everything, and only the starry sky is eternal!
- Metaverse 2167
2167, Nakcheon City, 9th District.
Exhaustion dispelled the pain, and the light returned to Ji Yunfan's eyes.
There was a lot of noise all around, and countless sounds were intertwined. The smell of decay in the air from time to time was disgusting.
There was a damp touch to my fingers, a dirty, grease-covered and tattered sheet.
The room of less than 10 square meters is oppressive and cramped, yellowed posters are posted indiscriminately, the wall lamps are hanging and old, and the old world and the new world collide together to become the absurd appearance of today.
In front of the broken mirror, Ji Yunfan wiped the dust with his hands, and a still somewhat immature face appeared in his field of vision.
The strangeness that I thought would appear did not appear, as if the face belonged to him from beginning to end.
The face in the mirror is a little yellowish, with prominent cheekbones, blank eyes, and messy hair.
This state is not handsome at all. Looking at it again, some boxy windows suddenly popped up in the sight of the right eye.
"A broken mirror, you can't see your handsomeness clearly, do you want to jump to the Chaoyuan mall to buy a new smart dressing mirror?"
"Detect your current skin condition: dry skin, dull, with acne scars, we have recommended SK-V. Men's Cleansing Set for you, the limited-time special price is only 3999 super yuan!"
"Detect your hair is yellowing, recommend the Rejuvenating Hair Care Set ......"
Several pop-up windows quickly occupied the entire line of sight of the right eye, and the pop-up windows were like several pieces of frosted glass superimposed together, making the originally clear world instantly become a gray patch.
Fortunately, the remaining memory fragments in the original owner's brain let Ji Yunfan know how to close this thing, just move his mind, and the pop-up advertisements were closed one by one.
When you turn off an ad, no new ad will pop up for half a day when you gaze at the same item.
"Is this world occupied by 2345?" Ji Yunfan couldn't help complaining.
Ji Yunfan now knows that as long as he stares at an object for more than 10 seconds, this annoying pop-up ad will appear in time.
If you want to turn off these spam ads, you need to pay a monthly membership fee of 199 super yuan.
And if you pay this membership fee, congratulations, you'll unlock a new achievement – membership privileges.
You'll see fewer but more flashy pop-up ads!
If you want to completely turn off all ads, you only need to pay an additional 199 to upgrade to a big member!
Ironically, if you think the built-in pop-up UI is too ugly, you can also spend 200-1000 super yuan to buy the pop-up skin UI, allowing you to redefine the pop-up ad!
Ji Yunfan felt that if those keyboard warriors in his previous life were substituted, the thickness of the Xinhua dictionary was not enough.
Putting aside these thoughts, Ji Yunfan continued to inspect the thin body.
The once strong and powerful body became emaciated, and the ragged clothes could not provide the necessary warmth.
But none of this mattered, and only then did he notice that there were a few metallic sheens in the pupil of his right eye. Thanks to the memories of the original owner remaining in his mind, Ji Yunfan knew that this was an implantable lens prosthetic eye.
This is the lowest level of prosthetic eye, C-XK-0322!
C stands for the prosthetic grade, and there are two grades, A and S.
The higher the level, the more features and the better the results.
XK is the universal serial number of this lens prosthetic eye, which is only differentiated by product series.
0322 is encoding, and the higher the quality, the better.
The C-XK prosthetic eye is an early product of the Roselle Group, and it is an augmented reality product when installed separately.
As long as it cooperates with the brain-computer interface, it can achieve the symbiosis of virtual and real, so as to enter the metaverse of virtual and real symbiosis.
Annoying ads aside, this is definitely an epoch-making product.
It was precisely because of the advent of this product that the metaverse finally matured, and people no longer needed bulky headsets to enter the colorful metaverse world.
As for the brain-computer interface, it is a small disc with a diameter of two millimeters, which is installed behind the ear and connected to the nerves.
There is no subdivision in the specific models, but they are divided into implantable and inline.
Implantable type such as Ji Yunfan's ear, there is no trace from the outside, but you can feel a slight bulge with your hand.
The embedded type reserves an external interface, which is more compatible and more functional.
Implantable brain-computer interfaces, if you want to interconnect with other devices, usually use two methods: network transmission and touch.
What kind of world is this, there is no clear context in the memory fragments for Ji Yunfan to understand.
Thinking about it, looking at the appearance of this family, it is estimated that all the time spent on living is spent on living.
Want to surf the web and gather information quickly? Sorry, the network latency is infinitely close to 0, and the high cost of Internet access can also make your small possessions quickly reset to zero!
More information, there is always a way to get it later!
The current Ji Yunfan doesn't even have a name, only an 11-character code-51108420854, usually, when introducing himself, he only needs to introduce the last 4 characters.
This is the serial number of the brain-computer interface, and it is also the lifetime code number of the modified person.
In addition to identification, this code can also be used to complete a series of operations such as communication and data streaming.
In this world, the vast majority of human beings will be forced by the federal government to complete the implantation of brain-computer interfaces at the age of 9.
At the age of 16, he was free to choose to have a prosthetic eye implanted or remodeled.
In addition, he is a reserve member of Como, and in three days, he will be baptized from Como!
Cuomo is a branch of the Mechanicus Cult, which also adheres to the doctrine of "flesh and blood are weak, and machines are ascending", and all members of the society need to be baptized - complete 20% of the mechanical transformation!
Three days later, Ji Yunfan will be pushed onto the mechanically modified operating table!
……
The water vapor in the public bathroom was steaming, and dozens of men were crowded in the bathroom, many of them middle-aged disabled people with fierce faces!
Low-level mechanical prosthetics - no rust prevention!
Ji Yunfan looked at it carefully, turned off a few advertising pop-ups recommending underwear and divine oil, and the thing he was worried about still came.
The big man standing next to Ji Yunfan, the pupils of both eyes were glowing with metallic luster, and there were also a few metallic lines on his cheeks.
It was subcutaneous armor, a high-end prosthetic body, and it was resistant to sharp weapons.
The position of the right arm all the way to the shoulder was also covered with metal, and thanks to the advertising pop-up window on his right eye, Ji Yunfan quickly grasped some information.
"I have searched for the same product for you - A-RT-051, the limited-time preferential price is only 329999 super yuan, buy now, install it for free!"
Seeing that Ji Yunfan had been staring at his right arm, the big man didn't say anything like "what are you looking at", but grinned and waved his right hand.
"Well, isn't this thing awesome!"
"Heh, big brother, are you so familiar!" Ji Yunfan complained, and then quickly exclaimed: ", cow break!" ”
Dahan was affirmed, and the smile on his face was even worse. He looked Ji Yunfan up and down, and then smiled: "But if you usually eat more, you won't lose weight like this!" ”
Ji Yunfan couldn't help but slander, in this world, it is good to be able to guarantee three protein bars a day, and the only nutrition is only enough to hang his life.
Seeing that Ji Yunfan didn't talk, Dahan smiled again: "Don't be afraid, after the baptism is completed, I will cover you!" ”
Now I understand that this big man may be some kind of protector of Como, hall master or something.
Ji Yunfan rummaged through the memory fragments, and finally found some information, and the big man in front of him seemed to be his guide.
The so-called introducer is the recommender of a branch like Como and even the Mechanicus Cult to admit natives to the association.
As for the name of the big man, Ji Yunfan couldn't find it.
He had to bite the bullet and say, "Thank you, big brother, I will follow you after 0854!" ”
The big man smiled heartily, stretched out his mechanical arm and slapped it on Ji Yunfan's body, the force was so great that he almost slapped Ji Yunfan down.
"Are you kid stupid with dopamine chips, how many times have you said it, don't call me big brother, you want to call me Yang Daxia!"
"About my right arm is a mechanical arm, so is it Yang Guo?" Ji Yunfan couldn't help but think evilly.
The two talked, and left the public bathroom after a while, and Ji Yunfan also said goodbye to Yang Daxia.
As for the sentence "As long as the agreement is signed, then you must be baptized, even if it is a corpse, you must be baptized", Ji Yunfan can't forget it.
In the other party's words, the meaning of threat is undisguised. Ji Yunfan can be said to have heard it, Cuomo's authority cannot be provoked, and if he runs away at that time, I am afraid that he will soon experience the horror of RT-051.
After weighing and tangling the pros and cons, Ji Yunfan subconsciously looked at his right hand.
"So, the ancestral craft is about to be lost?"
