Chapter 8: Became a Digimon with Me?
"Here we are." Lao Li's voice came out as the door opened, and Feng Xue also saw the scene behind the door.
The world behind the door is much bigger than it looks from the outside, and the excellent lighting from nowhere makes the inside of the container, which has no windows, look bright and not glaring.
At this time, Lao Li is no longer wearing the previous vertical brown, but wearing a silk pajamas that look smooth and smooth, and under the appearance of the container, the interior is a rather modern European decoration, and only a few places can see the furnishings that are biased towards the oriental temperament, such as the black gold stone tea tray on the coffee table and a complete set of tea sets.
However, compared with these side details, what Feng Xue cares about the most is the information she feels from Lao Li through her own label-
Occupation: [Corpse Collector]
Tags: [Corpse Collector], [Beginner's Guide], [Street Runner], [Invisible Rich]
Well, Feng Xue seems to understand a little bit what Lao Li is doing with the kind of good teacher he shows.
Compared with Feng Xue's suddenness, Lao Li, who was still smiling lightly, suddenly fell into a shock, and after a while, he said in a daze:
"How did you get the label together?"
"Isn't it possible to get the job done and the label will be cohesive?" Feng Xue saw Lao Li's expression, and his face was also inexplicable, he just collected a corpse normally, and then condensed!
"It's true that you can condense by completing the work, but the problem is that it needs ......" Lao Li said and shook his head again, beckoning:
"Forget it, let's come in and talk about it."
"Oh." Feng Xue nodded, if he was still a little resistant and suspicious at first, after seeing Lao Li's [Novice Guide] label, he had relaxed a lot, although he didn't know what the label meant, but at least it showed that the other party was not a strange character who jumped out to introduce him to the world view for no reason.
Following Lao Li into the room, Feng Xue felt more and more that this place was full of incredible, and it looked like it was only thirty square meters in a container, and this living room alone was more than that, not to mention that around the living room, there were doors that were obviously more than just textures, and Feng Xue even saw the large bathroom behind through an unrelated door.
As I said before, Feng Xue no longer needs to eat, naturally she doesn't need to go to the toilet, and she doesn't have any need for washing, in other words, these are not just needed items, they are all luxuries.
"Sit down and have tea?" Lao Li seemed to have finally sorted out his shocked mood, and opened his mouth to ask, Feng Xue shook his head lightly and said:
"Don't bother, I'll leave after asking."
"Okay." Lao Li didn't force it when he heard this, and poured himself a cup of tea, which seemed to be waiting for Feng Xue's problem, Feng Xue saw this, so he said directly:
"I want to know what this label is, what you said about the official entry, and how to use this badge."
"Your questions can be summed up as a problem." Lao Li took a sip of tea, straightened his back slightly, and then continued:
"If you want to know this, you must first understand a very basic question, that is, what is [knowledge]."
"Currency? Energy? Nourishment? Feng Xue carried forward the proper ethics of a platter, and asked a few answers that were wrong or incomplete at first glance, Lao Li heard this, and really shook his head and said:
"You're just looking at it, huh...... Is there an internet connection to the world before you travel through? ”
"Uh, yes!" Although he felt uncomfortable hearing the word "network", he still chose to accept this strange setting considering the century-old city walls, smart machines, and space-expanding residences that he had seen so far.
Lao Li obviously didn't care about Feng Xue's entanglement, but just nodded to himself:
"That's easy to say, in short, you can think of this world as a data world, all matter is made up of data, the so-called [knowledge] is the most basic unit of data, we absorb [knowledge], in fact, we are consuming data to maintain our own existence."
Lao Li's speech was concise and to the point, but Feng Xue only felt that after listening to it, many incomprehensible things since the crossing seemed to be explained at this moment, but he still couldn't suppress a complaint:
"Okay guys, this is a Digimon with me?"
"Digimon? What is that? Lao Li's face showed a puzzled look, Feng Xue immediately shook his head and said:
"Nothing, a fictitious information creature of our world."
"In fact, this is not bad, and it seems that 'information' is more suitable to refer to [knowledge] than 'data'." Lao Li nodded thoughtfully, updated the newcomer guide draft in his head, and then continued:
"Remember what I told you about the [real thing]?"
"Remember, it's the only edible source of [knowledge], right?"
When Feng Xue said this, her expression suddenly stiffened, seeing him like this, Lao Li knew that he had probably guessed the answer, so he showed an ugly smile, nodded and said:
"You're right, we're not 'real beings', but monsters that live by cannibalizing 'real-world information.'"
"Strange talk?" Feng Xue remembered the "vicious strange talk" that Lao Li once said when he talked about bad omens, according to this statement, they are benign strange talks?
"No, we are just [nothing], no name, no surname, no sense of existence, no one knows, the [nothing] who has nothing, and it is precisely because there is nothing that we can only survive by obtaining [knowledge] from the real thing, do you know why we wake up in the garbage dump after crossing over? Because like everything else in the dump, we are 'garbage' that other worlds don't want. ”
Lao Li's words revealed a sad feeling, which made Feng Xue's hairs stand on end, and he didn't have time to break free from the complex emotions of suddenly becoming "garbage", so he asked a more critical question-
"According to you, this landfill we are in is not the real world?"
"Hmm." Lao Li nodded, and said in a very serious tone:
"Not just the landfill, but the entire Infinity City is actually a special weird story, a weird one that will constantly receive all kinds of 'garbage'."
When Feng Xue heard this, he couldn't help frowning, because of the name Infinite City, he had seen it in a certain comic in his previous life, and in that comic, that city was also made up of information, but in the comics, there were very few people who knew this, and in this world, it seemed to be a common sense......
However, in the comics, there are no strange settings such as [Zhi] in the Infinite City, and there are no high walls, bad omens, strange stories and the like, which makes it difficult for Feng Xue to determine whether there is any connection between this world and the comic world.
