dawn effect

Chapter 25

The resources that players can occupy in the virtual city come from the contribution system set by the Skynet system.

It is a very complicated system. Each player's activities in the virtual city, meaningful ones, will be converted into contribution points for consumption in the virtual city.

Just like in real life, you can open bars, restaurants, theaters, TV stations in the virtual city...

Because of the existence of real sense technology, although these things are virtual, they can also serve the real desires of human beings.

Any activity that can make the virtual city better and serve to satisfy human desires will be defined as a contribution.

Then when you have the contribution value, you can spend it in the virtual city to enjoy services provided by others that can satisfy your desires.

Human desires are complex and endless, so the virtual city is also extremely prosperous.

The panorama company that set up this system has learned from reality and used some of the system's own industry revenue effects to achieve a balance between contribution point distribution and recovery.

With Liu Xiaomao as the leader, Tangning knows how to discover the wealth of the virtual city.

Using the archaeological skills he learned from his father, he and Liu Xiaomao soon had their own way of making money.

The source of income comes from the original network.

Since the original Internet, the ancients liked to put some things on the Internet, store them in categories, and call them "websites".

Many things inside have considerable archaeological value.

What Liu Xiaomao likes to look for most is some videos that record the primitive life of ancient people. For this reason, he published a paper, arguing that in such records, in some videos, the key parts of the hero and heroine are artificially blurred. A concrete manifestation of the concept of human shame, which is the original cornerstone of the ethical value of human society, was published by "Nature" magazine, and it was also placed at the first place in that issue.

However, Tang Ning thought that Liu Xiaomao was talking nonsense. He intuitively believed that it was an ancient commercial practice. This thing should be called artificial grading. Those who did not have a price had one price, and those who had a price had another price.

Things like this are inspiring to some bigwigs who operate certain industries in the virtual city, so they are willing to pay a high price for them.

But Tang Ning only regards it as his sideline job in the virtual city to make money. What he himself prefers to dig is to study the spiritual world of ancient humans.

The spiritual world needs a cultural carrier—hence the story.

After the breakthrough of real-sense virtual technology, the cultural carrier of this world has developed to take the real-sense virtual experience as the mainstream.

People also habitually passively accept this more impactful and direct output method, giving up the previous secondary creation process of reading the text and then transforming the text into a picture in the reader's own mind.

Tang Ning staidly believed that although this was an advancement in technology, it was a regression in culture and spirit.

For example, he once deciphered and excavated a website. There are many novels in it, the brain holes are beyond the sky, but it is undeniable that following such novels to have an addiction of using imagination is indeed pleasant.

……

……

The reason why the virtual city can satisfy human beings is because of "real feeling".

For example, Tangning's nervous system now told him that he was in a villa left by his parents, clean and tidy, and extremely comfortable.

To find the things his parents left in the villa, he also had to do it himself.

Or, let Xiao Zhi search for it.

The villa is also divided into work area, living area, and leisure area. In fact, it is a virtual address allocated by Skynet, plus some digital computing storage resources.

It's not surprising. What's strange is that there is now one more... child in the villa.

The child was about five or six years old, wearing a loose white robe, and there was a yellow duckling on the robe. The duckling was as fat as the child, and looked very cute.

A child with bare feet came out of a room with a large stack of books in his arms.

The stack of books was already higher than the child's head, so Tangning couldn't see the child's face, only the child's hair.

The hair is very soft, longer than the average boys of the same age, shorter than the average girls, and the part near the neck is often placed on the shoulders, resulting in some curls.

The child carried the large stack of books in front of him and walked towards the study, still humming.

"Mountain! Room! An old man! Praise me for having roots of wisdom! Take me as an apprentice to impart knowledge and put on the upper body—"

"Originally! Come! This old man! An immortal enters the mortal world! Taishang Laojun Fang Xian himself took me to the gate of heaven—"

The voice was so familiar, Tangning couldn't help but froze, "Xiao...Xiaozhi?"

"Dad is back!"

"You... what are you doing..." Tangning couldn't help asking as she watched the child stick out her fat little butt and put down the stack of books in front of her with difficulty. road.

The child finally stood up, showing his angelic little face: "I'm tidying up my grandparents' house!"

"Why... are you so... 'tired'?" Tangning couldn't help feeling a little dazed, with a look on her face that you don't want to tease me.

After artificial intelligence is authorized, it is not a matter of milliseconds to organize this data?
"Because I want to learn how to be a human being, and now I have more detailed human living data..."

"Wait, where did you get the detailed human living data?"

"Dad, yours! The personal invisible window in your body can also read your body data, um, and it will be automatically sent to an address. That address has very high authority, and I can't get in."

Tang Ning understood that this was a potential threat that the Security Bureau of the residential area was monitoring the residents. Xiaozhi was a smart housekeeper, and had an interface with his personal invisible window, so he could also read his body information.

This is also the family doctor function of the previous smart housekeeper, and it can also be directly connected to the hospital.

Although the personal window has been greatly upgraded, it seems that the baseline version of many programs is still inherited from Skynet and depends on Skynet to run.

"You're like me, so you're a boy?" Tangning looked at Xiaozhi's pretty face and shoulder-length soft hair, feeling a little unsure.

Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment, with a look of fear on his face: "Dad, do you... like girls?"

In a blink of an eye, he gave a solution: "Girls can also, as long as Dad finds a female partner, forms a family with her, and then asks Mom to authorize me, Xiaozhi can connect to her personal invisible window to read Mother's body data, through learning and reference, Xiaozhi can become a girl!"

Uh... If you can find a mother for you, how complicated is it?Wouldn't it be enough to just give birth to one?
Quickly waved his hands: "No, no... Dad likes boys very much..."

Uh... It sounds like there is something wrong with this...

……

……

The two of them moved the books to the study room and put them in order. Tangning finally figured out the reason why Xiaozhi did this.

In the final analysis, it is Liu Xiangdong's original intention of designing Xiaozhi - to learn.

In Xiaozhi's view, Tangning entered the virtual city through a super-sensory helmet, mobilized the brain to absorb knowledge, trained operational proficiency, and realized supernatural powers.

Following his example, after Xiaozhi entered the human society of Shuzhou and was authorized by Tangning to act as an agent of Shuzhou's virtual property, he also turned himself into a child and lived the "life" of human beings in the new world. , which is actually a kind of simulated learning in the opposite direction.

Tangning thought about it, but did not stop Xiaozhi's behavior.

Although rationally speaking, Xiaozhi would waste a lot of Skynet resources by doing so, but now he doesn't seem to need those resources except for training.

Moreover, he already had deep feelings for Xiaozhi. During the four years of loneliness, the communication between him and Xiaozhi used to be the only light in his heart.

Although this light is virtual and man-made, Tangning has already developed a real dependence on it.

Having said that, what kind of emotion is not artificial?
Xiaozhi is full of housekeeping skills, not only limited to tidying up, but also seriously created a "key" for the villa.

The "key" was designed based on Tangning's physical electric field characteristics and some intimate experiences between the two of them. There were two such keys, one was hung around Xiaozhi's neck, and the other was hung around Tangning's neck.

Xiaozhi is very sorry that Tangyuan can't wear a helmet, otherwise it should have one.

Parents left a lot of things in the virtual space, but most of them were work-related materials, which were different from the strong life atmosphere left in the virtual space of Manzhou.

This shows that since they arrived in Shudu, they have devoted themselves to a large amount of work to make up for the pain of losing their son.

Strangely, in the process of sorting out, Xiaozhi discovered an encrypted storage space left by his mother, Lin Yu.

The encryption method is very complicated, and the password is a floating password generated based on a master secret key, because the formula of the floating password changes much faster than the exhaustive cracking time, and the length, dimension, and degree of correlation of the floating password are also very large and complex. Therefore, without the master key, it may never be cracked.

Such things are actually not surprising. In the history of mankind, there have been many undecipherable materials left in the vast network.

So Xiaozhi designed Mother Tang's encrypted data into a safe and placed it on the bookcase in the study.

After checking the private space, Tangning switched to the city.In Xiaozhi's words, it was my father who took me shopping.

Switching to the central square of the virtual city of Shudu, the hustle and bustle of people coming and going made Tangning's eyes moist.

I looked up at the number of log-ins in warm colors on the sky, 19286534, even at noon, the number of people logging into the new world accounted for the majority of the number of people in the inhabited area.

Finally, it is no longer the forever lonely 1.

The autonomy of the first to fourth floors of the tower is reflected in several buildings belonging to the virtual industry of the Self-Management Council in the virtual city of Shudu in the New World, which can hide their identity and appearance.

In order to attract more resources and offline transactions, the assets of the self-management association in the new world can be logged in anonymously.

Even the self-management committee can't check it.

This is undoubtedly a gray area, which can meet the needs of the gloomy psychology of human beings. It is said that countless low-level bosses often visit anonymously, making the business of these buildings extremely hot.

Super sensory love hotel, killing games, crazy racing, no-limit betting supermarket... This is the place where the residents of the residential area vent their violent and dark instincts.

Looking at the various splash screen advertisements and stimulating clips on the outer wall of the building's light curtain, Tangning said to the beautiful and obedient baby beside her, "Xiao Zhi, how did you find this kind of place? This place seems...not suitable for children."
