Chapter 56: The Realm of Freedom
Commercial District, Machine Street, Z-42.
It's not far from the "Lightning" studio that the team temporarily borrowed when Potter was tweaking the car.
According to the address given by An Xin, Mo Fan came to a small four-story building.
The first floor is a collection of antique electronics, and the second floor is a mechanical parts grocery store.
On the outside of the third and fourth floors, there is an independent neon sign that reads Lembongan Cyber Security Maintenance Center.
"Blue Dream Network", Mo Fan still has an impression of this name, it was the drone of this store that sent the map of the Death Speed Contest to the Ruyi Office.
The owner of the Blue Dream Network is the target he is looking for this time.
Enter the third floor, rely on the pass given to him by An Xin, swipe open the door of the Blue Dream Network, and enter the store.
The store was empty and there was no one in sight, and he asked in a loud voice, "Is Miss Sharon there?" ”
"Here we are."
A brisk female voice sounded from the inside, listening to the voice, the age should not be more than twenty years old.
Soon, with the sound of wheels turning, a computer chair slid out of the back room.
A girl with long lilac hair and maintenance goggles sat upside down in a computer chair, holding the back of the chair with both hands, and greeted him:
"You're a newcomer from the Bodhisattva's side?"
Seeing that the girl's speed was too fast, and it was too late to brake and hit the wall, Mo Fan grabbed the back of the computer chair when she passed by, and lifted the girl up with the chair.
He held the computer chair in one hand, spun around in a half circle, and after removing the force from the computer chair, he put the girl down.
"Hello, I'm Mo Fan, it's a pleasure to meet you, you helped me a lot during the Death Racing Contest before."
Sharon took off the goggles that covered most of her face, revealing a face full of youthful energy.
Sharon has a goose egg face, smooth and light facial lines, a high forehead, round cheeks, and a little baby fat, looking like a sister next door.
But the calm eyes filled with reason, and the lips with a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth and a slightly crazy smile, show that she is by no means a stupid white sweet who does not understand the world.
Listening to Mo Fan talk about the Death Speed Competition, Sharon said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, hacking into the database of the Death Speed Race Team is not much more troublesome than hacking into a vending machine." ”
"What's more, you kid is righteous enough, and you have given a lot of extra hard money. For the sake of the 50,000 federal coins, I will definitely take you around the "free world" today. ”
Mo Fan asked suspiciously, "'Free Realm'?" ”
"You'll find out later, come with me first, and help you make a virtual pass." Sharon kicked her feet on the floor and slid into the workroom in her swivel chair.
Mo Fan followed Sharon to the workshop, only to see Sharon controlling the computer chair and stopping firmly in front of the workbench, constantly entering data on an instrument.
With a click, the instrument's indicator light turns green, and Sharon pulls out a chip from it.
Immediately after, she took out a bracelet and a pair of sunglasses and motioned for Mo Fan to put them on.
"The Bodhisattva said that you are a protobody, you don't have a brain-computer interface, and if you want to connect to the "free world", you have to use these external devices."
Mo Fan put on the bracelet and sunglasses, and under Sharon's guidance, he inserted the chip into the bracelet, the screen inside the sunglasses lit up, and a message appeared in front of him.
"The Freedom Pass has been activated, please complete your personal information."
Filling in the personal information, no different from registering a game account, the other options are normal, but when it comes to the gender column, he is a little confused.
There were hundreds of options for gender, but he couldn't drag them until the penultimate and third, when he saw the familiar men and women.
As for the penultimate option, it is customized, and the choice can be expanded to fill in the blanks.
Mo Fan was stunned and looked at Sharon, "What gender should I be?" ”
Sharon grimaced, "From a principled and moral point of view, I can't and shouldn't assume your gender, but in my experience, you should be male. ”
Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief and chose a man.
"Thank you."
Sharon also took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead, "For such a sensitive issue, you should consult the Bodhisattva next time." ”
After completing his profile, Mo Fan asked, "What should I do after that?" ”
"Follow me." Sharon slid the computer chair and led Mo Fan to the next room.
Inside the room is a chaise longue connected to a special mainframe.
Sharon pulled two threads from the recliner and attached them to Mo Fan's bracelet and glasses.
"Go up and lie down, and then take you into the free realm, you may be a little dizzy for the first time to connect with your consciousness, but hold back for me, don't throw up in my studio."
"Rest assured, I'm not that vulnerable."
Lie down as Sharon asked, and a line of prompts pop up on the screen in front of Mo Fan's eyes.
"Whether or not to enter the free zone"
Be.
The next moment, his eyes went dark, and when he opened his eyes again, he had entered a completely unfamiliar world.
The soft light shines from overhead, and even if you see it suddenly, you don't feel dazzling at all.
He was in a square, with neatly cut bricks underfoot, and no one else was present in the square except him.
The platform is not very large, and it takes a few steps to reach the border, and if you look down the border, there are dense clouds below, and you can't see the bottom.
Looking into the distance, you can see a huge tree growing in the sky.
The distance between him and the giant tree is 10,000 meters, but when he gazes at the giant tree, he can magically see every detail of the tree.
The trunk and branches of the giant tree are made of gold, and the dense branches are covered with emerald crystal green leaves.
At first, he thought that the giant tree was a switch to a certain scene, but after staring for a while, he found that there was no change in his surroundings, so he could only turn back and study the square.
As he explored the square, he kept feeling the space.
The space is very detailed, you can feel the flow of air, you can also see the change of clouds, and when you look down, you can see that each square brick has its own lines and holes.
Whether it's the texture of the environment, the touch coming from the surface of the skin, or everything you see, it's exactly the same as in the real world.
There is no delay in all the movements made, and the objects you see are like real objects, and there is no trace of special effects.
If it weren't for the mythical golden tree in the distance, he would have thought he had arrived in a new world.
But here is magical, standing alone in the bare square, looking at the big trees in the distance, you will get tired of watching it for a long time.
Just as he was thinking about whether the instrument was wrong, a friend application popped up in front of him, and the applicant was Lan Meng.
Immediately after accepting the invitation, a prompt pops up:
"Your friend Sharon, request to speak to you."
"Accept."
A purple cat head appeared in front of him, and Sharon's voice rang in his ears.
"I'm sorry, I forgot that I made your connected device, and I didn't transplant the intelligent AI guide assistant into it. So the initialization setup can only be done by me to guide you. ”
Mo Fan: "......"
Sharon: "Now, you click twice on the center of your eyebrows, can you see a miniature golden tree?" ”
Mo Fan: "Yes. ”
Sharon: "Look at the Golden Tree and think about the menu. ”
Mo Fan followed Sharon's instructions and immediately called up the options menu, and dozens of icons were arranged in front of him.
Sharon continued: "See the wardrobe icon, gaze at it and go to the personal appearance management interface. ”
The wardrobe icon was enlarged, and a wardrobe appeared in front of Mo Fan, and a dressing mirror stood next to the wardrobe.
In the fitting mirror, various data emerge, like the face pinching and dress-up interface in the game.
The degree of freedom to adjust the appearance is very high, and not only the facial features, body shape, clothes, and other data can be adjusted, but also the race and creature species can be adjusted at will.
Anyway, it can be changed at any time, so Mo Fan chose the system's default "Template 1" and turned into a black stickman of about 1.6 meters.
"I've chosen my look."
"Very good, go back to the main interface, find the castle icon, and select Connect to public areas."
"Let's enter the realm of true freedom."
