Chapter 9: The Infinite City and the Strange Tales
Seeing that Feng Xue didn't speak for a long time, Lao Li thought that he was stunned by this shocking news, and immediately waved his hand and said:
"Actually, you haven't had the time to think about these things, and the main reason why I'm telling you so much is to explain your original question."
"You mean onboarding?" Feng Xue pinched her eyebrows and waited for Lao Li's next words, but Lao Li didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, and said directly:
"That's right, in fact, the whole Infinite City is like a large server, everything in it is data, and people with professions are programs, and the label is the 'annotation' of our programs with specific functions, and the 'official entry' you ask about actually represents the first run of the program after being identified, in short, finding a job is like pushing a program to Infinite City, but only after you play the function that this program should have, Infinite City will really recognize that you are this kind of program."
"According to you, those corpses that may become bad omen are data redundancy that will produce bugs, and we, the corpse collectors, are actually data cleaning software?" Feng Xue felt more and more like a Digimon, and even wanted to find a divine plan or arc machine to see if she could evolve or something—well, maybe go to the real world to find a beast trainer?
Lao Li, who didn't know what Feng Xue was thinking, was very satisfied with his analogy, he kept this statement in his heart, and decided to say it the next time he met other novices, but on the surface, he nodded without any change, and continued:
"As you think, after confirming that we do have the corresponding functions, Infinity City has to allocate us some computing resources in order to make our programs run, and the work card is the medium for receiving resources, well, you can understand it as a salary and a salary card."
Speaking of this, Lao Li reached out and clicked his badge a few times, and then a few coins fell into his hand:
"After the work is completed, the Infinite City will issue a certain amount of tower coins, which you can use to buy the equivalent of food or other things, and those gang members will be happy to accept it."
When Lao Li said this, Feng Xue could obviously see a dissatisfied look on his face, but he didn't want to ask about this kind of thing that was likely to be related to personal grievances, so he could only change the topic and ask the question he was very concerned about:
"You seem to have been surprised by how quickly I coalesced the label? Isn't it possible to automatically condense tags after taking office? ”
"How is that possible?!"
Hearing Feng Xue's question, Lao Li glared as if he had blown up his hair and said:
"If you can condense labels when you get a job, then labels won't be so rare!"
At this point, he took two strong breaths to calm down his excitement before continuing:
"Didn't I say that? We are all 'garbage' that other worlds don't want, it's [nothing], condensing labels is a process of starting from nothing, labels can make us more existential, from 'that who' to 'the one who collects the corpse', to 'the one who collects the corpse', to 'the one who collects the corpse', and to 'the one who likes to guide novices'...... In this way, little by little, they gradually have a complete sense of existence, and finally become able to be recognized completely and independently......"
"Strange talk?" Feng Xue raised her eyebrows, as if she understood something, Lao Li nodded immediately when he heard these two words, and his eyes inevitably showed a bit of longing-
"That's right, it's a strange story, if you want to become a strange story, you need to become an independent individual first, which requires a lot of labels to achieve, listen to the old-timers, when Infinite City just appeared, the cohesion of labels was still very easy, but later, as the residents of Infinite City began to increase, the major gang forces cut off the passage from the landfill to the residential area, completely monopolized important facilities such as banks and libraries, resulting in the increasing difficulty of landfill residents to gather labels, until now, there is only one option left" to 'play'."
"Playing? Not an inauguration? Feng Xue keenly noticed the difference in Lao Li's words, and Lao Li nodded when he heard this:
"That's right, acting, to put it simply, is to imitate the behavior of a certain profession, let yourself have the corresponding tendencies, and over time, you can condense the corresponding label, we call this method 'playing'."
"It's okay to play...... Then can I, the corpse collector, still advance to the Grim Reaper? When Feng Xue heard this word, she immediately rolled her eyes, but Lao Li nodded and said:
"Of course, but it's not just a label or two!"
Speaking of this, Lao Li shook his head gloomily again and turned the topic back:
"All in all, when Infinity City first appeared, it was relatively easy to condense labels, and at that time, if you wanted to work in a certain profession, you had to have the label of the corresponding profession.
"And with the passage to the residential area cut off, those high-quality professions are basically monopolized by gang forces, and few people can live to condense the label of a dangerous and tiring profession such as a corpse collector.
"Later, the employment agency slowly lowered the entry standards, and as long as you have the [elements] corresponding to the occupation, you can find a job."
"Elements? What's that? Feng Xue heard this noun that overlapped with her golden finger again, and immediately asked, Lao Li heard this, and realized that he hadn't said this yet, so he could only add:
"[Element] is the basic unit that constitutes [Label], if [Knowledge] is 0 and 1, [Label] is a complete program, then [Element] is a code, the so-called playing, in fact, is to play through the role, so that the [Knowledge] in the body constitutes the corresponding [Element], but except for a few professions with special labels, most people are unable to see other people's elements."
"In other words, I moved the corpse last night and gave me some of the elements needed for the [corpse collector] label, and when I collected the corpse after I took office, I condensed other elements that happened to form the label of [corpse collector]?" Feng Xue felt that this reason was too ridiculous, if it was really such a coincidence, then he should really wonder if there was a Maozi priest squatting in the corner.
Fortunately, Lao Li just shook his head after listening to Feng Xue's words, and then said seriously:
"What such a coincidence! Didn't I say that? The label is a comment, so in addition to our own cohesion, there is also the possibility of direct distribution of the infinite city, the employment agency lowers the standard, you can understand that the infinite city does not have a good cleaning software, so I found a software with a cleaning function I don't know what software to use, on the other hand, if he finds that there is a software cleaning effect is very good, then it can also directly mark this software with a 'cleaning software' annotation. I think you did a very good job of collecting corpses twice, so Infinity City felt that you were a corpse collector, so they directly sent you a label to let you continue to work hard......"
"Is that okay?" Feng Xue's eyes widened and asked in disbelief, but Lao Li said with an expression of "what's this":
"In fact, this situation is the most formal channel to obtain labels,Decades ago,Everyone can directly get labels by practicing technology,In contrast,Playing the law is the evil way of the evil way,If it weren't for the library being monopolized,,There will be no way left left.,But as long as you have a label,You can use the knowledge in the label to bypass.,The most difficult first label you have gotten.,Then you just need to study hard.。
