Lan Yu lifted the quilt and was about to get dressed, but found that there was another person in the quilt.

"Oh my God! Blue ice. Lan Yu was completely blindsided, he didn't expect Lan Bing to come back with him at all.

He was afraid of waking up Lan Bing, knowing that he couldn't get an inch out of cloth now, Lan Yu hurriedly opened the cabinet door and pulled out a few clothes to put on.

As soon as Lan Yu put it on, he saw a line of fonts projected on the retina by the World Simulator in his hand

[Super God Permission: Designated Round Trip (Activated)]

The system's prompt, Lan Bing woke up, she saw this scene and hurriedly summoned the void skin, her face and the root of her neck were all red: "I... I was just... You..."

"Just what?" Lan Yu's face also turned red, and he suppressed the thumping heartbeat and asked.

"We don't seem to be on Paradise Island anymore, what's going on?" Lan Bing's face was still flushed.

"The supergod authority has brought us back to the real world, and it stands to reason that only I can come back, but I don't know why you also came back with me."

"What about the others?"

"I didn't come along, I only saw the two of us in the horizon - I didn't expect this ability to be used in the real world."

Lan Bing's eyes lit up: "Great, my parents must be worried to death, I have to hurry home." ”

"Don't be in such a hurry." Lan Yu pointed to Lan Bing's void skin, "You're going to scare your parents like this." ”

"Wait a minute." He took out a set of clothes from the bottom of a closet and handed it to Lan Bing, "The clothes are all clean, both men and women can wear them, and the size may be slightly larger." ”

"Can you please avoid it?" Lan Bing picked up his clothes and shook them, and said to Lan Yu

Lan Yu nodded and walked out of the room, only to push the door in until Lan Bing said it was okay.

She changed into jeans and long sleeves to look youthful and beautiful.

"It's missing."

"What's missing?"

"You want me to wear your underwear?!" Lan Bing stared at him.

Lan Yu didn't want to buy that kind of thing, he didn't want to be seen as a pervert.

Lan Yu said to Lan Bing: "If you wait, your Void Skin can make do anyway, and there are only two of us in my family, so there will be no ......"

Lan Bing's face was expressionless: "Do you think this is really good?" ”

Lan Yu asked embarrassedly, "What's the size?" ”

"You won't see for yourself? Do you have to let the girl tell you herself? ”

"I don't understand."

Lan Bing snorted, stepped forward, and drew a semicircle on the back of his hand.

"Boys going to buy this stuff will be considered perverted, or will you just go with me? I have a device at home to visit the metaverse mall. ”

"I'm like this, do you think it's really good for me to go with you?"

"Okay, I'll go. You wait for me to come back. "Blue Feather can't help it.

Blue Feather puts on a virtual reality headset and enters the metaverse mall.

The shopping guide saw a customer coming and asked enthusiastically, "I don't know what type of ...... the lady needs."

Blue Feather's delicate face can easily make people facing the lights misidentify his gender.

After Lan Yu approached, the shopping guide realized that she had made a mistake, and she skillfully resolved the embarrassment: "You are so good-looking that I have a delusion, are you here to shop for your girlfriend?" But we have everything in the store so you can ......"

The clothes on the shelves are all luxury brands, and each one is expensive.

Lan Yu found out that Lan Bing only told him the size, but not the style.

(Use the exhaustive method, buy one piece of various styles and colors, there must be what she wants)

He told the shopper sizing: "One for all the styles." ”

The shopping guide looked at him with strange eyes, and the guests who heard this also turned their heads to look at him.

The store's artificial intelligence quickly calculated the price, and Lan Yu swiped his card without looking at it - he just wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible now.

Although it is expensive, it is nothing to him.

But the scene was extremely embarrassing at one point.

The goods will be delivered by a courier drone soon......

"I didn't expect such a handsome guy to have this kind of habit, and I plan to ask him for contact information." After Lan Yu left, the clerks commented.

"yes, now there are more and more of these perverts. I didn't expect us to meet a ......."

"Perverted." Lan Yu heard the scolding.

…………

Lan Bing wandered around the house curiously. She walked up the spiral staircase to the third floor and looked at the wall, which was covered with portraits of the sages he revered.

On the left wall, there are portraits of Schopenhauer, Wagner, Nietzsche and others - philosophy of life; The portraits on the right wall are those of Kant, Descartes, Weber, etc., rationalism.

The sages have long been forgotten by the world.

I can no longer read the famous books that have been handed down to the world, only the lace news of the stars; There are no more vows of generosity, only the numbness of the steel rainforest; There is no more tremor of history, only the wind whining in the neon lights.

Lan Bing entered the room that served as a library room, and the books were stuffed to the brim, and the rosin and the scent of books made Lan Bing's heart feel refreshed.

She took out a book, Nietzsche's "Thus Said Zarathustra", which turned out to be in German. Lan Bing turned the page, and what caught his eye was a dense collection of notes............

She noticed that all the books were classified only by category, not by language. Lan Bing thought: Does it mean that Lan Yu can read fluently when he picks up a book.

She was taken aback, although her English had passed level 6 early, it was still difficult to read professional books.

Lan Bing gently put the book back on the shelf, and the super-giant three-dimensional photo that filled a wall caught his attention.

This is a group photo of Blue Feather and the members of New Eden, the silvery white building and golden sand beach were taken on Paradise Island at a glance, and the shooting time should be when Blue Feather was still in high school.

She pressed the projection button.

Lan Bing walked into the projection, and the first thing he saw was a flat-chested girl wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a white coat, and an expressionless face, discussing academic issues with a shy mixed-race young man of the same age.

From the notes, Lan Bing learned the names of the two: Yoshiko Nishina and Vickers. Lee

A teenager who looks like a junior high school student and an older youth stand side by side on the sandbank where she stayed last night, watching the sunrise over the sea.

The note is the nickname of the two: Little Willy, Little Mary

In the depths of the projection, a noble young man with a sunny sun and another young man with a tilted head and a pencil in his ear, looking like an engineer, sit on the trunk of a fallen coconut tree, laughing heartily and playing a game of the old timepad.

Remarks: Ludwig. Feng. Bollen. Halbeck. David. Garand

In the deepest part of the projection, Lan Bing found Lan Yu, and there was a blonde girl with blue eyes and big breasts standing next to him, the other party's temperament was completely different from her, but it was not inferior, making people feel that she was very kind and kind to everyone.

At that time, the temperament of Blue Feather was also completely different from now, making people feel the warmth of down, rather than the cold of flying high in the sky now.

Remarks: Little angels, little wings.

Lan Bing flicked his bangs and narrowed his eyes.

(What does this mean?) ）

On the other side sat a couple, a young man with affectionate eyes combing the hair of a young girl

Notes: Lynn, Tian Yue'er

The names of the others are all golden, but Tian Yue'er's name is gray.

There were several figures in the distance, but Lan Bing crashed into the wall as he tried to get deeper into the projection - they weren't in the picture.

(Are they the companions that Blue Feather said they were?) ）

Lan Bing turned off the projection and walked out of the room.

"Di~Di~" The smart housekeeper prompted an incoming call, and Lan Bing followed the sound to find a silver disc.

"Three-dimensional holographic instant messaging device." Blue Ice recognized it.

Stereoscopic holographic instant messaging devices have only been on the market for two years and are more advanced than traditional video communication, and because they are too expensive, few people can afford to use them.

Lan Yu has one at home, and it's still mobile. The caller light is an emergency red, which is obviously a special matter.

She wanted to send a private message to Lan Yu to ask him to exit the metaverse, but she found that her personal terminal was not around, not to mention that she didn't know Lan Yu's account yet.

It would be rude to answer someone else's communication without consent, but Lan Bing was afraid that ignoring it would cause Lan Yu to miss something important.

Blue Feather is set with a gesture password. However, this did not bother Lan Bing, and she put the disc in the light and saw a Z-shaped mark left by the hand oil on the smooth surface.

She unfastened the disc and recognized the caller as one of the people in the photo.

Ludwig's bust emerges. He was so anxious to die in the past three days, his first reaction was that something had happened. If Lan Yu didn't answer the communication again, he planned to fly directly to the door.

Now the phone is connected, but it is not him who answers the phone.

"Blue Feather, what the hell are you doing? You haven't heard from you for more than two days, and we can't get in touch......" the other party complained.

"Shhhh Wait........ where did Blue Feather go? ... Why are you here? ”

Ludwig was first stunned, then reacted quickly. He glanced at Lan Bing, saw that the other party looked like he had just gotten up, and saw that she was wearing Lan Yu's clothes, and he was good at brain supplementation, and he quickly figured out the "truth".

"Hello, Ludwig. Pollan. Ludwig Bohlen und Halbach. Lan Yu isn't here, he has something to do now. Lan Bing learned his name from the caption of the photo frame.

"I have a hard time listening to Chinese, but you can actually speak English with me."

Ludwig was even more surprised, he didn't expect Lan Yu to tell the other party everything about New Eden, and now he firmly believed in his judgment.

"Then you transfer the communication to his personal terminal, I have something important to talk to him."

Lan Bing knew that he couldn't say that he didn't know Lan Yu's contact information, that would definitely arouse the suspicion of the other party.

"He's playing a virtual game." She could only make an excuse for Lan Yu.

"Playing games? Okay, don't hang up. I'm waiting here for him to come back. Ludwig was convinced.

While waiting, Ludwig finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and couldn't help asking:

"Well, what's the relationship between the two of you?"

"Friends only."

Ludwig smiled - girls are thin-skinned.

"Then we're friends, you can call Alfred."

…………

The flying car was parked on the tarmac, and Lan Yu took out two large bags of underwear, opened the door and walked in.

Lan Bing handed him the disc.

"Guten Tag (German: Hello), Herr. Krupp (German: Mr. Krupp). I've got something special going on here. ”

"Oh, good evening, dear pot friend, very happy ......"

"Stop! You speak Chinese badly, it sounds really hard to hear, speak German or English with me. ”

"Listen to me, the case of Longhua Group has been found on us, but they have no conclusive evidence, they are just suspecting us. Thankfully, you destroyed our files, and they only found a few clues. Ludwig, who was always cheerful and lively, said in a serious tone.

"Also, why haven't you heard from you for two whole days?" Ludwig lowered his voice.

"Special circumstances."

"Special circumstances?" Ludwig's avatar turned around on the disc, and when he saw the contents of the bag that Blue Feather was carrying, his eyes jumped back and forth on Blue Feather and Blue Ice twice.

He suddenly realized: "I can't think of you...... Oh...... Got it, got it. ”

"Get out!" Lan Yu was rarely angry, he really wanted to throw the disc out as a frisbee, but he couldn't help it.

He took the disc, sat down on the couch in disgust, and said solemnly, "No kidding, Alfred. I have important matters to discuss with you. ”

"New variables, the Übermensch plan needs to be significantly adjusted. We met in Rabaul three days later to discuss two things together. ”

"Yes, we'll inform the others." The figure on the disc jumped and vanished.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask one thing. Have you heard of Yunni Group? I was told that they were an important partner for us. ”

"Huh? I've never heard of this company. Ludwig's dimmed figure reopened.

Blue Feather told him the cause of the incident, and Ludwig found out the truth of the matter five minutes later: "That's right, one of our subsidiaries has established a branch in Asia. The office building was contracted to a local builder, and the Yunni Group burned cement for the builders. ”

Lan Yu laughed with a "poof", no wonder he hadn't heard of Yunni Group, it turned out that the other party was too low. That Zhao Yunfei can really talk about it, build a branch building for their subsidiary, and in his mouth, build a headquarters building for the parent company.

He pondered: "Does this group have an important position in the industrial chain of that subsidiary?" If you don't have one, change it. ”

"Okay, then we'll see you in Rabaul in three days." The silver porcelain plate shook, and the figure vanished.

Lan Yu put down the disc and walked to the second floor with Lan Bing, opening the floor-to-ceiling window.

Outside the window, the dull thunder is like the pulse of a decaying city, unsettling and frightening. The wind swept the torrential rain like whips towards the windows, and the raindrops gathered together like beads with broken threads, and a waterfall flowed down the outer surface.

"Hey, it's El Niño again, it's been a few years in a row?"

In the midst of the rainstorm, the huge city dome rises with a rumbling sound. The curtain of the city rain is activated!

Soon, the torrential rain turned into a drizzle, and the flying cars that had taken refuge in the high-rise city tarmac were flying insects in the concrete rainforest.

The crowd of people hiding from the rain in the shops in the bottom city walked out with colorful energy umbrellas, and wandered in the city like zombies again.

The two of them stood in front of the window with their hands behind their backs and looked down on the city, only a flash of light set off their lonely backs.

The world is whirling in the breath of decay and depravity. The whole world is crazy! This is the city of 2084!

A few words made Lan Bing realize the huge energy behind Lan Yu, and she asked tentatively, "How strong are you?" ”

"It's so strong that ordinary people can't imagine it, but it's still too weak compared to the company."

Lan Yu introduced their family history: "On the eve of the death depression, we borrowed from the bank with our respective assets and obtained a considerable amount of money. Then he intervened in the futures market with a large amount of money, and was a long seller of bulk materials such as gold, silver, coal, steel, copper, zinc, and grain, and a short seller of national bonds, currencies, stocks, and real estate indices of various countries.

In the midst of several geopolitical tensions in the death depression, we are also long gold, military enterprises, bulk materials...... Short them until the situation de-escalates. And many times through the loan of working capital......

"With the enormous wealth of this capital operation, we have absolutely controlled a mega-enterprise with a special status in Ludwig, which has a history of two centuries, quite legendary, with three rises and three declines. In our hands, it has achieved its fourth rise. ”

Even better, many of the banks that lend to us have gone bankrupt in the Death Depression, creating bad debts...... We used the hairy bills of quantitative easing to pay off the rest of the debt, and we lost most of it......

And towards the end of the death depression, we became short-sellers of bulk resources, and by constantly closing positions, adding weight, and reversing operations, we also benefited greatly from the subsequent false boom. ”

"We've also hitched a ride on a virtual currency that is riding wild in a false boom......"

"Using this business as a platform, we continued to expand outwards and eventually set up our own organization to fight the company. And even have its own military power. You can think of us as umbrella-like megacorporations. ”

"What is a 'company'?"

"It's not a company in the usual sense, it's an order. I'll use the analogy of spiders and cobwebs, and you'll get the idea. ”

"There are many spiders in a huge web. Insects such as small bees and small ants feed on small bees and small ants through cobwebs. There are different species of spiders, and they will also fight for territory. But one way or another, all spiders hunt through their webs. So they have a tacit understanding of weaving and reinforcing cobwebs.

"Some spiders only feed on bodily fluids, while many more eat all the scum left of their victims. Sometimes, even if the meat-eating spider is eliminated, there will be a spider that sucks bodily fluids instead...... But either way, for small insects, they are all spiders. ”

"Ordinary people can only see the spider silk that sticks to them, the smart people can see the whole spider, and we see the whole web."

"This cobweb is the company!"

"There are four divisions in the company that are particularly noteworthy. the Ministry of Truth, which is responsible for weaving lies; the Ministry of Peace, which is responsible for waging war; The Ministry of Friendship is responsible for arresting and suppressing those who resist. The Ministry of Wealth, which is responsible for protecting the wealthy. ”

"I've seen too many industrious insects sucked up by spiders and sucked up to dry corpses, and they only get the crushed residue after they have been crushed. Driven, enslaved, yet believing in the 'truth'. ”

"But the spark of hope and ideals has always been there. We are planning to destroy the company in one fell swoop through disruptive technology, and we have launched Project Übermensch, which means to surpass the slave morals.

We plan to combine human ingenuity and supercomputers to break through the company's firewall in an instant, paralyze the Ministry of Peace, and take control of the security systems of all cities...... But now, we may be able to subvert all of this through individual power. ”

Lan Yu took out a book from the bookshelf next to him and put it back, and said a meaningful word: "Hey, we ...... It's a rabble that entertains to death. Living in an animal farm in a rainforest, you think you're in a brave new world. As everyone knows, Big Brother is looking at himself through the electronic screen next to him......"

The news broadcast on the holographic television interrupted Lan Yu's words: "Today, astronomers have discovered a new habitable planet with a mass of 1.1 ⊕ and a radius of 1.07 ⊕, orbiting an orange dwarf star and is tidally locked............ Scientists say there is an almost 100 percent chance of life on the planet, and that insectoid life will live near the dawn and dusk line........... The people gave her a poetic name - the Twilight Ring, or Twilight Ring Star for short. ”

Lan Yu sighed again: "The more civilization progresses, the more regressive thinking becomes. Humans have long forgotten to look up at the stars, and no one but us cares about it. ”

He turned to Lan Bing and said, "If you want to see your parents, hurry up, we have to go to the South Pacific." Pull us some reinforcements. ”

"Huh? This... It's not good. We've only known each other for a few days......."

"I mean you should be safe."

"Oh, oh." Lan Bing was embarrassed.

"Companions of New Eden?"

"Yes, they are leaders in their fields. I've got a guess about the regression mechanics of the system. Since you can go back to the real world with me through my dreams, it should also be feasible to do the opposite. ”

"So you know I'm in your ......" Lan Bing tilted his face sideways, letting his bangs cover his flushed cheeks from him.

"Yes, I guessed, such a clear dream, it's not that you are a ghost."

He stuffed the underwear bag to Lan Bing: "It's all inside." ”

"Where's the locker room?"

"No, just do it in my bedroom."
