Tokyo Juggernaut 2077

"Work even if it's worthless?" There seemed to be a little admiration in Haru Arisukawa's tone.

"Yes." Yuan Ye nodded, "This society has developed to the point where all low-end jobs are replaced by intelligent machines, so that the jobs of these unemployed are worthless. It is precisely because of the hard work of them and their ancestors, so They have the right to demand labor to maintain their dignity."

"Although the logic is very strange and has a taste of sophistry, it does make sense." Arisu Chuanchun nodded frequently, "I will work hard in this direction, thank you for your suggestion, Ning Yejun."

It seems that because of the Japanese Roman accent for pronunciation, Arisukawa Haruna stuttered when he recited Genyo's pseudonym, and he felt a little cute.

"It's just my own nonsense." Yuan Ye said politely, "Thank you for the coffee, it's delicious."

Yuan Ye thought for a while, the other party called him by his pseudonym so seriously, it was impossible not to respond, so he added: "Youqichuan sauce."

Arisu Chuanchun seemed to hear someone call her that for the first time, and his neck shrank involuntarily, like a kitten.

Yuan Ye didn't see this scene, he turned and left after speaking to catch the last tram.

It is indeed a very strange thing for two strange people to chat about strange topics at the station using strange aliases.

By the time both of them felt that this incident was not strange, it was already a long time later.

===Chapter 9 Yagyu Sakura===

Yuan Ye hummed his pop song before time travel while cooking today's breakfast.

This is an old rental house, with four and a half stacks of single rooms, which can only accommodate a bed, a table, plus a bookcase and a wardrobe. The bathrooms and toilets are shared. In the style of the 20s in Japanese dramas, time seems to have stood still in this house for a century.

Due to the small environment, Yuan Ye could only set up an induction cooker on the small table, and used a rectangular cast iron pot to cook.

In the process of cooking, Yuan Ye tried to take out a book from the bookcase to pass the time. Although the original owner was quite ignorant and filled the bookcase with various entertainment magazines, it was just right to pass the time now.

Unfortunately, I found that the magazine in 2077 could not be read in the hand. The whole book was full of garbled codes, which could only be viewed after being decoded with the augmented reality device attached to the personal terminal. One code per book—although the cracked version It's still all over the internet.

The physical book industry was already a sunset industry before Yuan Ye crossed over, and now it seems that the good way they have found to continue is to turn themselves into something like a console, and make money by selling exclusive products-but it seems to be considered A good way, at least let the physical book industry successfully continue until 2077.

"It seems a bit burnt." Yuan Ye tasted the tamagoyaki he fried, but found that the taste was not very good. Neither he in his previous life nor in this life has mastered the standard cooking skills of the hero Asahi. The rice is just to catch the ducks on the shelves.

Although he also thought about using the system to increase his culinary skills, judging from last night's experience, the system directly adds "experience" instead of "experience", even if he points the culinary skills with those As tall as a chef is, most of them only have basic skills such as chef-level knife skills and fire control ability, which cannot make recipes automatically appear in his mind.

If it is combat skills, experience and basic skills account for the vast majority, and it will be effective immediately if you increase the level, but these life skills still need to be practiced in private to fully master, so why waste your life for food and drink.

After finishing this ordinary breakfast, Yuan Ye put on his school uniform and went out to school.

The arrival time for Yingzhou High School is before 08:30. Yuan Ye specially arrived at the school half an hour earlier. His personal terminal was broken, and there happened to be a rental service of augmented reality equipment for poor students in the school. He was going to borrow one for temporary use, and then buy a new one after school.

Yuan Ye walked to the door of the library where the rental service was handled according to the route he remembered, and tried to push the door, only to find that the door was already open.

"Is the library open so early?" Yuan Ye knocked on the door while talking to himself.

Since the original owner didn’t focus on his studies at all, he never came to the library once, and he didn’t know if the library would be open in the morning, so he had to go to two classes at night before borrowing the augmented reality equipment. ready.

"You can come in." A promised voice came from behind the door, and Yuan Ye directly pushed the door open and entered.

"Ah, it's classmate Yuan Ye." The girl sitting behind the library management desk said in surprise when she saw Yuan Ye who pushed the door open.

"Good morning, student Sakura Yagyu." Yuan Ye searched his memory and called out the girl's name. In his memory, the girl was in the same class as him and served as a study committee member. librarian.

"Did you skip your morning exercise?"

"I've already retired." Yuan Ye replied according to memory.

The original owner once joined the Kendo club, which is also the origin of his second-level swordsmanship level. As a result, he was excluded because of his family situation, so he quit the club angrily.

"Retired from the club, do you want to prepare to study hard?" Yagyu Sakura also joined the Kendo club, but she was a member of the ghost club who only registered and did not attend, so she didn't know the situation of the Kendo club. She just regarded Yuan Ye as a senior in high school and quit the club to prepare for the exam with peace of mind. people to look at.

"Probably." Yuan Ye vaguely confused the topic, "I'm here to rent augmented reality equipment, and my personal terminal is broken."

"Obviously there is a reason to skip the morning class in a fair manner, but instead I took the initiative to borrow the equipment." Liu Shengying closed the book in her hand, "It really is the prodigal son who turned back?"

"It's not that exaggerated." Yuan Ye shook his head, not intending to go any further on this topic.

Yagyu Sakura was also keenly aware of the change in Yuan Ye's tone, so she readily helped him complete the formalities, and handed him a pair of glasses and a small box.

Yuan Ye pressed the power button on the small box, put on the non-prescription plain glasses, and after the glasses read his iris, he completed the account login, and a clock was displayed in his sight, very simple.

"The equipment rented by the school is not for you to play, so there is no exaggerated personalized interface." Yagyu Sakura seemed to see through Yuan Ye's expression, and ruthlessly broke his fantasy, "Study hard."

Yuan Ye smiled, unlike what Yagyu Sakura thought, he actually had the idea of ​​experiencing the fancy future technology, but now it seems that his expectations have been dashed.

"I will come to open the door at seven o'clock every morning. If Yuan Ye really wants to study, you can come. There are free study materials in the library." Liu Shengying shook the key in her hand, "But it's also for tomorrow. It's over, the class meeting is about to start, and I'm going to leave too."

Yuan Ye and Liu Shengying walked out of the library one after the other, and Liu Shengying locked the door of the library with the key. This school was established 30 years ago. Although the smart devices were very developed at that time, due to public The school's budget is tight, and a large number of traditional building materials are still used.

The class in the morning was lackluster. Although Yuan Ye hadn’t touched a book for a long time, what he had learned was not so easy to forget. In addition, even after time travel, there was still no major breakthrough in theoretical technology in 2077, let alone The public schools in Yingzhou originally pursued relaxed education, so Yuan Ye could still understand the teacher's lectures.

Of course, he can barely understand it, and can barely correspond to the knowledge points that have long been blurred in his memory. It really makes his test scores now terrible.

During lunch, Hoshino Shiori, who was considered a childhood sweetheart with the original owner, sat across from him with his own plate, and asked excitedly, "Did you walk into the classroom with Sakura Yagyu this morning?"

"It seems to be, it's nothing." Yuan Ye tried hard to recall, trying to keep the same tone as he originally remembered when he was with Hoshino Shiori.

"What do you mean 'it seems to be, it's nothing'? Your tone exudes a strong smell of cash!" Shiori Hoshino patted the table, pretending to be heartbroken, "You don't want to date secretly, do you?" ?”

"But this is also good, I can finally play games with you without being gossiped." Hoshino Shiori's face returned to normal, but immediately became ugly again, "No, maybe I will still be criticized like this." Saying it is a third party, wouldn't that further lower the reputation?"

Yuan Ye looked at Hoshino Shiori's exaggerated acting skills that he deliberately pretended, and suddenly felt a certain familiar feeling, as if he had returned to the high school days before time travel. At that time, he also had a few bad friends who were single together. If you have a little contact with girls, you will be ridiculed by other people with yin and yang statements during class, basically starting with "No, no, no one really wants to play with girls ? Don't disgust me" and other words that raise blood pressure.

But I didn't expect that the bad friend here was actually a beautiful girl, which gave Yuan Ye a wonderful sense of dislocation. This sense of dislocation constantly reminded Yuan Ye of the fact that he had crossed over. Of course, it shocked him the most. Or the space shuttle that he mistook for a pure white meteor last night.

But in the final analysis, it is indeed a very happy thing to be able to have this kind of conversation with the beautiful girl, just like communicating with Arisu Chuanchun last night.

This made Yuan Ye feel a little joking, so he intentionally gave a rather vague answer: "I can't tell, probably not."

"What do you mean there shouldn't be?" Hoshino Shiori was shocked, "You should be dragged and dissected by [Mechanical White Clothes]!"

"Student Yuan Ye, it's not correct to slander others behind their backs." Liu Shengying held the dinner plate and sat next to Yuan Ye with a seat apart, ending the gossip discussion.

Yuan Ye, who was caught, was a little embarrassed, so he had to change the subject abruptly: "Hoshino, what is the mechanical white clothes you mentioned just now?"

===Chapter 10 Urban Legend===

"Mechanical white clothes?" Hoshino Shiori looked puzzled, "The urban legend that was just circulated last night should be known to all high school students in the entire Tokyo prefecture. You usually tell me this kind of news."

"My personal terminal is broken, and I haven't seen any news about it." Yuan Ye was a little surprised by the speed of information circulation in this era, "So what exactly is it?"

"How should I put it..." Shiori Hoshino tried hard to organize his thoughts, "A white doctor's robe made of machinery?"

"You can know this in a literal sense, right?"

"Anyway, that's all I know. A medical doctor's robe made of machinery will attack couples walking together in the middle of the night." Shiori Hoshino spread his hands, "If there are detailed information, it won't be an urban legend."

"It is estimated that some reckless person crossed the 50.00% limit of prosthetic body modification, and then went crazy." Hoshino Shiori took a pair of chopsticks and broke up the noodles that had begun to clump, "Usually this kind of thing There are quite a few, but they are all limited to the level of urban legends, and if they really get too big, they will be cleaned up by the authorities. If they are only limited to the level of urban legends, then [Sword Bearer] will take action."

In Yuan Ye's memory, there is a memory about the name of the sword-bearer, which also belongs to some kind of urban legend, but the evaluation in the circulation tends to be positive, and the characters belonging to the "vigilante" category will appear in other urban legends. Come out to defeat the enemy and protect the citizens when you do something wrong.

"But isn't the sword bearer rumored to be a running dog of the capital chaebol? What's more, the sword bearer doesn't make frequent shots at all." Yagyu Sakura, who was eating salad at the side, suddenly said, "Every time the target of the shot is finally found out People with a chaebol background, either former executives who chose to do evil after the company’s struggle failed, or test subjects who escaped from a secret laboratory, except for these people, they are not the targets of the sword-wielding man.”

"That should be a kind of conspiracy theory." Yuan Ye quite agrees with the behavior of the sword-wielding man in his memory, as long as he doesn't forcefully let the tiger go back to the mountain for the sake of sales like in comics, but decisively takes action to eradicate the evil, even if it is He also thinks that a little crossing the line or the purpose of the action is not pure, which is completely tolerable, after all, it doesn't matter what you say.

"Perhaps." Yagyu Sakura said flatly, "Anyway, I don't think that sword-wielding man is a good person."

Yuan Ye and Hoshino Shiori looked at each other, and they both thought it was strange that Liu Yuying would say such a thing, and finally Yuan Ye took the initiative to speak: "Liu Sheng knows this very well."

"This is also a kind of 'fashion trend', and it is very common among girls to discuss it." Yagyu Sakura said seriously, "Even if you don't discuss this kind of thing, you may be excluded. The circle of girls and boys are different."

"So that's how it is." Yuan Ye and Hoshino Shiori both expressed that they had been popularized by science. For a house girl like Hoshino Shiori, this is no different from new knowledge.

But in fact, both of them are deeply touched by this, because their families are not considered wealthy, and they are born to be excluded in the class. Originally, Yuan Ye joined the ace sports club such as the Kendo Club, which is also considered in the class The upper class is the upper class, but the result of retiring in anger is being excluded.

Now the two of them are considered marginal people in the class, and Hoshino Shiori's beauty made her sit firmly in the position of being excluded at the beginning. He often hangs out with Yuan Ye, barely becoming the target of bullying.

Because they are not too familiar with Yagyu Sakura, Yuan Ye and Hoshino Shiori did not continue chatting on this topic, but immersed themselves in eating. On the way, Yuan Ye went to the vending machine to buy three bottles of happy water, and threw it to Hoshino Shiori. After that, he handed the last bottle to Yagyu Sakura.

"I'm very sorry, Yagyu-san, we were just joking just now, and didn't mean to slander you."

"I believe you have no malice, but I don't drink Coke." Yagyu Sakura tidied up her tableware, "I always drink tea."

After finishing speaking, Yagyu Sakura left with the dinner plate in her hands without dragging her feet.

"It's really traditional." Hoshino Shiori looked at the back of Yagyu Sakura and muttered, "Someone still likes that kind of tasteless green water."

Due to the further development of the food industry in this era, artificial additives are already comparable to or even surpassing natural flavors. Under the sweetness brought about by the genetic desire for high-sugar substances, zero-calorie high-sweet industrial beverages have perfectly occupied the market. However, traditional beverages such as tea and coffee have instead become products exclusive to the upper class or self-entertaining in small circles—of course, tea and coffee beans have become luxury goods because of the pollution of the production area due to wars, and are also expensive. one of the reasons.

"I also like to drink tea." Yuan Ye said casually, "Of course, I like to drink Coke too. No one can refuse the temptation of happy water, right?"

"By the way, Hoshino." Yuan Ye took the initiative to say, "I want to buy a personal terminal this afternoon, and I want you to refer to it for me. Do you have time?"

Hoshino Shiori has a good understanding of electronic products, and can even be regarded as a mechanical nerd. She even secretly violated the prohibition of minors from performing prosthetic transformations, and installed several brain-computer interfaces for herself—this is why she One of the reasons for being excluded.

Yuan Ye sometimes speaks without thinking, and this time is the same. It was not until he said the invitation that he realized that he was inviting a beautiful girl to accompany him. her response.

"Okay." Out of Yuan Ye's expectation, Hoshino Shiori agreed in an instant. She was still looking forward to having something to pass the time. Anyway, there was no one at home, and her sister would only come back late at night. She used to go back basically. You will choose to play games online with Yuan Ye.

There were only two classes in the afternoon, and school was over early, and the two of them didn't need club activities, so they went straight to the Electric Street in Chiyoda District. Shiori Hoshino said the model, Yuan Ye compared the parameters and bought it immediately. The whole process was completely complete. There is no waste of time, which can be described as a model for straight men's shopping.

"If you choose that type of terminal, the local computing power can still increase by about 15.00%." ​​Shiori Hoshino was still talking about the topic of data, and the conversation box couldn't stop once it opened.

"That one needs to carry the terminal in my pocket. I have sports needs, so it's better to choose the bracelet version."

Yuan Ye put on the terminal bracelet in the elevator of the mall, pressed the start button, the glasses began to communicate with the bracelet, and after automatically connecting to the wireless network of the mall, suddenly there were only a few functional windows in sight A lot of tweets poured out.

"I feel like I've returned to a civilized society all of a sudden." Yuan Ye waved away all the push notifications in front of him, and entered the normal use mode.

The world of Yuan Ye seems to be refreshed, countless strange things appear in the eyes, as if a whole medieval world was forcibly inserted into the normal world, orcs walk on the modern streets, magic dragons and personal flying machines fly together in the sky, it looks weird And harmonious.

This is the visual mod that the original owner is using. It can change everything in the sight into the set appearance through real-time calculation, but Yuanye didn't expect the original owner to be such a second-level player, setting himself as walking in the modern world. Heroes of the magical society.

Yuan Ye turned his head and glanced at Hoshino Shiori, and suddenly a chill came to his heart - in the visual MOD, Hoshino Shiori appeared as a female magician in cool clothes.

"How hungry is the original me!" While complaining frantically at his pre-traveling self from the bottom of his heart, Yuan Ye took a second look, and then quickly exited the visual modification software.

Everything in front of him instantly returned to normal. Although according to memory, most of Yuan Ye's peers have played visual mods, the unmodified world will indeed make Yuan Ye feel more comfortable.

On a certain level, maybe he is also an old antique.

===Chapter 11 Mechanical White Clothes===

After bumping along the way, it was already midnight when the two returned to the station near the school. Although the Tokyo Prefectural No. [-] Middle School that Yuan Ye attended was nominally affiliated to Tokyo, it was actually far away from the core six districts, and spent most of his time in on the way.

"You are really willing to buy the latest terminal." Shiori Hoshino bought a popsicle and gnawed it against the cold wind.

"I've been working part-time recently, and it's a necessary expense." Yuan Ye couldn't say clearly that he made a fortune from going to the Jidao Arena, so he could only use part-time work to cover it up.

"That's right." Hoshino Shiori wrapped the finished popsicle sticks and put them in his pocket, "I don't want to work part-time. It's boring to be yelled at by people."

"Where do you get pocket money if you don't work?"

"Well, maybe one day someone will take a fancy to my technology and give me money to hack the database of a small company, or suddenly I will be attacked by mechanical white clothes on the way, and I will be attacked by a mysterious You are almost rescued by a handsome man." Hoshino Shizhi spoke out of tune fantasy.

"By the way, you will dedicate yourself to him again, right?" Yuan Ye followed Hoshino Shiori's words.
