This Game Is Too Realistic

Boulder City.

In the prosthetic operating room of Jushi Military Industry, a naked girl was lying on the operating table surrounded by multi-axis machining cantilevers.

Her skin is smooth and delicate, like flawless mutton-fat jade, and her quiet and beautiful sleeping face is like a finely crafted work of art, exuding an aura that makes people unable to take their eyes away from the inside out. magic.

In fact, it is indeed a work of art.

This brand-new set of simulated skin combines the most cutting-edge technology of the college and the engineering power of the company, and is installed by the alliance's uncanny prosthetic surgery skills. It perfectly replaces the original one that was damaged by neutron radiation. There is almost no intact cell left in the original skin.

Just from a series of senses such as vision, touch, etc., this new skin is flawless compared to the original skin, and can even be said to be even worse.

If I have to find fault, I'm afraid it's just the trivial point of "being too perfect makes it seem less real."

not only.

This set of simulated skin also strengthens the user's soft tissue defense capabilities.

When longitudinal incision and puncture damage cause the skin elasticity limit to reach a certain threshold, the simulated skin will automatically trigger the hardening effect, thereby forming a protective layer with strength comparable to titanium alloy in a short period of time to resist deep dermal tissue. cuts and puncture injuries.

With the titanium alloy skeleton and buffer components, it is not a big problem to withstand the kinetic energy damage of pistol and rifle-level light weapons.

In addition to the armor that comes with these skins, Jiang Xuezhou also continued to make DIY modifications on this basis.

For example, in order to adapt to outer space activities and various complex special situations, she asked Jushi Military Industry to implant a series of temperature-adjustable, negative-pressure and positive-pressure control items into her subcutaneous tissue during the skin grafting surgery. plugin.

This allows her to move normally in a vacuum environment without wearing protective clothing.

This system was designed by herself, and it can be regarded as an improved version of the system used by Ye Shi.

With many buffs, her body has indeed reached the level of a work of art.

And it’s the pinnacle of prosthetic art achieved through technical power!

With the end of the prosthetic modification surgery, the multi-axis cantilever hanging like an octopus above the operating table shrank into a huge sphere.

At this moment, vaporized liquid nitrogen was sprayed out from under the operating table, and Jiang Xuezhou opened his eyes for a moment, waking up from the white mist.

The moment she woke up, a light blue pop-up window was projected on the retina of her prosthetic eye.

[The server has logged in...the prosthetic body integrity check protocol is being executed...]

[Testing completed...all components are operating normally. 】

The light blue text and loaded data disappeared instantly, as if they had never appeared.

Jiang Xuezhou took a deep breath and tested the temperature adjustment and positive and negative pressure balance functions one after another. Then he held up his hands and jumped down from the operating table.

After standing in front of the floor-length mirror and admiring his renewed body for a while, Jiang Xuezhou felt refreshed.

"Not bad, not bad... I think I have the charm of a girl with a peak appearance of 78!"

Although I don’t know what competition I am participating in, I always feel that I have won at the starting line.

She even thought about how stupid someone would look with their jaw dropped.

Of course, if not, she wouldn't mind taking it upon herself to knock the guy's jaw off with one punch.

"Cool cool cool..."

The more he looked at himself in the mirror, the more he liked it. Jiang Xuezhou couldn't close the corners of his mouth in secret joy, almost like a villain, and laughed out loud with his hands on his hips.

At first she was still a little reluctant to let go, so she reservedly pinched the hair on her temples and twisted it around her fingertips a few times, feeling embarrassed.

Maybe she realized that there was no one else here anyway, so she quickly became more and more aggressive. First she gently flicked her bangs back, and then she struck several poses in a row.

Until she saw the rotating medical robot coming towards her, she blushed and hurriedly stopped. She hurriedly grabbed the clothes handed to her by the robot and put them on.

The satin-like gown was like a light stream, flowing over her shoulders and falling like a waterfall.

The friction seemed to disappear.

Jiang Xuezhou and Xin, neatly dressed, stood in front of the mirror, and this time, both appearance and demeanor were much more serious than before.

Raising her restored wrist, she looked at the smooth and soft silk-like, delicate and white skin like jade. After the excitement, she suddenly became worried about gain and loss.

This……

Is it really herself?

Standing in front of the mirror, there is no doubt that she is still her original self, and her smiles and frowns do have the same charm as before, not to mention the professional knowledge in her head, which has always been what she is most proud of. something.

The only difference is probably that the prosthetic body is like a work of art...

Everyone loves beauty.

She is not exempt from vulgarity.

What makes her uneasy is that she always feels that the thing from head to toe does not belong to her, and has replaced the existence that originally belonged to her...

Am I still me?

Maybe——

The real me is actually dead, and the one standing here is just a copy of me...

Jiang Xuezhou suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and his hands clenched into fists involuntarily, but he soon released them and calmed down with a deep breath.

First of all, this kind of love is impossible.

Secondly, her existence at this moment is extremely real, and this is what she can feel.

In the face of strict logic, there is no point in being suspicious.

However, maybe she was too sensitive, and another question quickly emerged in her mind uncontrollably——

Where is the boundary between imitators and humans?

Or rather——

From the moment a specific part is replaced, a person ceases to be a person and becomes a thing.

At this moment, standing in a mutual position, she suddenly understood the loneliness that Ye Shi had been silently bearing all this time, and the expression on his hesitant expression.

"so it is……"

In the past, she always felt that that guy was ignorant.

She had obviously put in so much effort to revive him when he was unconscious and replaced him with the best prosthetic body, but he was still not satisfied. Even thanking her was reluctant and desperate. look.

It was only then that she gradually understood the emotions he had experienced...

When thinking about this, Jiang Xuezhou suddenly felt his eyes burning slightly.

He wasn't the only one immature.

Also has myself.

"It's a pity for you."

Youyou's voice suddenly came from the side, and Ibbers was already standing at the door of the operating room.

"no……"

Jiang Xuezhou quickly put away his slightly gloomy expression, sniffed hard, put down his raised wrist, looked at his flawless self in the mirror and said.

"I just feel...that something on my body has been replaced. Although it looks like me, it's not me."

"Then do you want me to help you pack it?" Ibers said gentlemanly, "Although it is a bit troublesome, it is not a problem for me."

"That's not necessary." Jiang Xuezhou blurted out almost without hesitation.

Ibbers laughed out loud.

Listening to the undisguised laughter, Jiang Xuezhou was a little annoyed and complained in a low voice.

"What are you laughing at..."

"I'm sorry that my laughter made you unhappy." Ibers cleared his throat, but there was no hint of genuine regret in his smile.

Jiang Xuezhou muttered softly.

"There's no need to apologize...Thank you for the surgery."

"You're welcome," Ibers said politely, and suddenly the intriguing smile appeared on his face again, and he continued, "I probably know what you are confused about. Assume that a certain item The components have been completely replaced. Is it still the original item? Am I right?"

"..." Jiang Xuezhou said nothing, but that silence was a kind of awkward answer.

Seeing that he had guessed correctly, Ibers's smile turned into happiness and he continued speaking slowly.

"Actually, you don't need to worry about this kind of thing at all. The cells in your body can take up to seven years to take up to a day to complete a round of metabolism automatically... And for some people, this cycle will be shorter. But even so , in my opinion, some things will never change.”

Jiang Xuezhou was about to ask what it was, but Ibers continued speaking as if he had guessed what she would ask.

"It's the soul."

"I have stayed in this city for a long time, and thanks to this, I have a pair of eyes that can see things that others cannot see. Some people are just a piece of meat in front of me, and they will only explode at the moment of death. There is a spark like that, but some people have priceless treasures that I covet. Their souls are like burning torches that I never get tired of looking at."

Jiang Xuezhou couldn't help but complain.

"I think you've simply passed the scrap date..."

"Maybe." Ibers nodded with a smile, "But unfortunately, I am not a humanoid produced through normal channels, but a special product of a special era..."

Before Jiang Xuezhou could reply, the lunatic suddenly began to lament with self-pity.

"How sad... My lover designed my lover's final death, but my lover forgot to design my ending. Maybe I should find a corner to squat down and draw a few circles. ”

"..." Jiang Xuezhou looked at this guy speechlessly, not knowing what to say.

But it can be considered a gift from him.

Being interrupted like this, all the entanglements in her heart disappeared...

…

[...The above is the conclusion of our negotiations. 】

[The Tree of Destiny expresses its willingness to establish a closer common relationship with us, including repairing the damaged ecological environment on the wasteland, providing technical services such as establishing a biosphere for our extra-solar development zone, and promoting the production of agricultural products. 】

[In exchange, it expressed the hope that we can provide it with some chemical fertilizers or similar nutrients that can promote plant growth. Of course, it would be better if there were several forest rangers who were proficient in nutrition and psychic abilities. 】

Dawn City, Alliance Building.

Chu Guang, who was sitting at the office desk, read Ye Shi's report from beginning to end, with three parts of his face showing relief and seven parts showing appreciation.

"Yes, this kid has indeed grown up a lot, and he is much more reliable in handling matters than before."

Xiao Qi happily blew a rainbow fart and said.

"Hehe, if I can train you well."

"Hahaha, that's true, even if you don't look at who I am."

Chu Guang smiled and felt proud for a while, then left a [read] on the report, put the tablet aside, and went to deal with other things.

For a time, the southernmost part of the Central Continent was the French Fries Port across the strait.

Sitting in the hotel executive lounge to kill time, Ye Shi finally waited for a reply from the management.

When he saw the one-word reply, he almost spit out the coke in his mouth.

"Gan! I wrote so many words, why can I only read the reply?!"

Seeing this guy's ignorant look, Lao Bai laughed and said.

"You are still young and don't understand the value of this word."

Ye Shi: "...What do you mean?"

Fang Chang, who was sitting opposite, smiled slightly and said.

"To put it simply, the management thinks that there is nothing wrong with it and allows you to continue and keep working hard."

After a pause, he continued.

"Based on my past experience, the fewer words in his response to the mission briefing, the higher the completion rating. If there is a long paragraph in it, it means he is in a hurry."

Fang Chang had never encountered this kind of situation himself, but the battlefield brother said that he seemed to encounter it often before, and it was not until he became a captain that he gradually stopped encountering it.

Ye Shi scratched the back of his head, his expression not dissatisfied, just a little regretful.

"I thought it would be more grand."

Lao Bai said jokingly.

"For example, I can bring you a big red bird?"

Ye Shi: "It's not impossible."

Lao Bai: "Hahahaha."

Seeing Ye Shi taking advantage of the situation and acting well, Fang Chang couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"That's almost it. The reward you got is enough to make people jealous. What else do you want?"

Ye Shi smiled sheepishly and said.

"This... the more the merrier, who would think there are too many rewards?"

In fact, he was embarrassed to say it.

At the moment when he complained, Planner Gou seemed to have heard his complaint, and a series of pop-up windows appeared on his VM screen.

[Congratulations to the player "I got up more than a dozen times a night" for completing the mission of "Exploring the Nest of the Province of Yue Yue"! 】

[Task completion: 100%]

[Rating: S]

[Reward: "Jungle Conquest" limited title, 10,000 contribution points, and 10,000 silver coin rewards! 】

[Server Notice: The mother nest of Yue Yue Province has evolved into the Tree of Life, and its power relationship with the alliance is "ally". Unauthorized hostile behavior is prohibited. The Guardian Beast "Dragon Lizard" of the Tree of Life is also a friendly unit. Unauthorized hostile behavior is prohibited... Dialogue can be triggered after awakening "Psychic Power". 】

[Server Notice: The map level of the 100 miles surrounding Potato Chips Port has been lowered to 0 and included in the safe zone. The recommended level for maps in areas beyond 100 miles is set to level 30...]

The advertisement at the back flashed across the screen. Ye Shi did not look at it carefully, but only took a look at the income of his mission.

In general, Aguang gave more than enough.

Ten thousand contribution points are insignificant compared to his seven-digit contribution points, and his contribution point level has long been capped.

However, the two rewards of 100,000 silver coins and the title of "Jungle Conqueror" are still quite nice.

Especially Hou 佾, you can use 䙙 to laugh at Chicken Killer.

Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, Feng Feng, who was sitting at the table, suddenly remembered something and looked at Ye Shi and said.

"Speaking of which, after this trip is over, are you really going to look for the remains of that pioneer?"

Although the news of the establishment of an exploration team outside the solar system did not cause a particularly big stir on the official website, it was quite noisy in the NPC world.

Especially the residents of the most avant-garde ideal city, many people even took a special flight to the southern seas and even Friesport to find out where to sign up.

These people are indeed nerds, but their mobility is not that strong either.

Facing Guangfeng's questioning look, Ye Shi also stopped his joking expression and nodded seriously.

"Yes, I've thought about it."

When he said this, he paused for a moment and then continued.

"Sometimes I feel... this game is like a real world. In fact, there was no so-called main line from the beginning. The so-called main line was discovered by ourselves during the progress of the game. Do you still remember the beginning? ? When we burn cement together."

Listening to Ye Shihu's talk about what happened a long time ago, Lao Bai couldn't help but put a nostalgic smile on his face.

"When you remember... speaking of it, we have been playing this game for so long."

"It's been a long time. To me, it's like...a different person, a completely different person from reality."

Ye Shi nodded and continued.

"In fact, since then, I have been looking for the meaning of this game to me, just like thinking about the people in my own life, including why I came to this world, and what other people in this world mean to me. What does the word mean... Although I may not realize it myself, but thinking about it carefully, maybe from that time on, I no longer regard people in this world as simple NPCs. "

The turning point of this incident may be the death of an old man named Ji Xiang.

Of course, not only Jixiang, but also many other NPCs that he could name.

He would rather sacrifice himself than let them suffer any harm.

Looking at Ye Shi, who rarely showed a serious expression on his face, Kuang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"So, you found it?"

"That's right," Ye Shi smiled sheepishly, "I can't tell you exactly when I found it, but by the time I realized it, Ichiru had already thought about it...including what to do next. things, including where to go in the future.”

He wanted to see the distant world.

Of course, the most important thing is to be with the person you made an appointment with.

"Congratulations." Understanding his mood, Fang Chang reached out and patted his shoulder, "Also, I support your choice."

"Haha, don't make me feel like I want to go somewhere far away. It's just that we won't be able to play black together for a while. Besides, I'm not leaving right away. We have another mission."

Ye Shi smiled sheepishly, then looked at his good brothers solemnly and said.

"Thank you...you have always been with me who is not mature enough."

"Haha, don't make it look like we are far away. It's not like we can't meet offline," Lao Bai smiled and patted his shoulder, returned what he said, and then said solemnly Said, "Come back and see me when you have time. Your place will always be reserved in the Burning Corps."

Ye Shi nodded vigorously in emotion.

"Um!"

Guangfeng touched the bridge of his nose.

"I won't say anything sensational, but if you find the boundary of the map, please remember to tell me... it will satisfy my curiosity."

Fang Chang said with a smile.

"Why don't you go with him? It would be nice to have a companion on the road."

"I haven't thought about it yet, but..."

Kuangfeng sighed softly. He was about to say something, but suddenly changed his words as if he thought of something. He looked at Ye Shi and said in a half-joking tone.

"If I really hang out with you, you won't think I'm a light bulb, right?"

"What are you talking about? Jiang Xuezhou and I are not the only two people on the ship," Ye Shi said with a smile. "And we are planning to tie a few scientists on board. It would be great if you are willing to come! How about it?" Do you want to go together? If you're embarrassed, just nod and I'll tie you up."

"It's not necessary to tie him up."

Looking at Ye Shi who was not joking, Kuang Feng did not answer the question directly, but just laughed and said.

"We'll talk about the rest later. Isn't it too much to leave a bed for me first?"

"That's right!"

Ye Shi patted his chest.

"I have the final say on this matter!"

While Ye Shi and a few good brothers were chatting, laughing and boasting, a group of dull rookies were standing next to the sacred tree in the northern suburbs of Fries Port, looking at the giant lizard with a cockscomb head and pointing. Point of discussion.

In fact, when it comes to rookies, not all of them are rookies here, there are also a few unreliable veteran players.

For example, [Squirtle] has joined the Jungle Corps.

As a level 30 player, although he cannot compare with the hardcore players of T1 and T0, he can still be regarded as the backbone of the "Wasteland OL" server.

However, Squirtle is not resigned to this.

Like most players, although his strength does not allow it, it does not prevent him from wanting to become a strong man.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think about the dragon lizard crawling next to the Tree of Life.

Although the server lists him as a friendly unit and prohibits hostile behavior, and he is indeed no match for this thing, the server doesn't say that he can't abduct this guy, right?

If he uses this thing as a mount, who in the entire server can be his opponent?

I'm afraid that even if the manager comes forward, he will be trampled into pieces by him!

Quack, quack…

When he thought of this, his mind quickly became active - oh no.

"How much does such a big lizard need to eat in a day?" Rubbing his chin, Squirtle thought it was funny the more he thought about it, and he muttered something coldly.

[Water Arrow Turtle] and [Hanba Turtle] standing nearby were stunned for a moment, looked at each other blankly and said

"have no idea."

"What do you care about how much it eats..."

Squirtle said immediately.

"I want to raise one."

The two brothers nearby were shocked when they heard this.

"What the hell?"

"Are you serious?!"

Squirtle glanced at these two dreamless guys.

"Look at how useless you guys are. The server said that hostile behavior is prohibited, but feeding is not prohibited! If I feed this guy well enough, and it recognizes me as its father and insists on following me, can the GM still beat the mandarin duck?" "

"That's not true -" the water arrow turtle looked at him and said, dumbfounded, "Brother, have you ever raised a lizard?"

"I have raised... uh, palm-sized ones, but that's not important!" Squirtle looked at him seriously, put his hands on his shoulders, and showed his momentum, "You just need to Tell me a word, do you want to be a dragon knight?"

"think……"

"Then bring me two buckets of nutritional ointment. When I tame this thing, let's switch rides!" Patting his shoulder, Squirtle then looked at the silly turtle standing there, and also He patted the back man on the arm and said, "You too, move quickly!"

“Don’t let other dogecoins get the first chance!”
