People in Tokyo, almighty useless people

It seems that everyone's tastes are quite fixed.

Yihe, who was sitting opposite, started pushing and shoving, talking rustlingly between fights.

Shi Liangping couldn't hear it, but he thought it was quite interesting.

He chatted with Maruhashi, asking if it was the same way they used to get along.

Maruhashi expressed her denial. She used to think that Xiju and Yihe were quite normal, but a little lively. The two of them today do not belong to the category of earth creatures for the time being.

"Hurry up, you lose in rock-paper-scissors." Yihe Jianzi frowned, grabbed Nishito Kyoko's shoulder and shook her non-stop.

"Did you forget the minister's order? The minister wants Shi Liangping to replace Hisada Kota as the new four senior male seeds.

This matter can be related to the major event of the Kendo Competition. If the minister finds out that you are fishing, he will definitely beat you up. "

Xi Duo sat on the outermost side of the sofa, and was pushed around by her like this, almost fell out.

Xi Di, who was a little cautious because of the previous incident, was irritated again.

Xijue Jingzi glared at Yihe angrily and said: "I am such a lady, you actually ask me to humbly beg others, I will not do it!"

When Yi He heard Xigu say the word "lady", his smile trembled wildly.

Kyoko Xijue crossed her arms and turned her head dismissively to look at the bustling street outside.

She didn't expect that Shi Liangping didn't notice the two of them at all when he was in the kendo field. He even thought it was the first time he met them,

She thought that Shi Liangping would take revenge on her, but it turned out to be her wishful thinking.

I really don't know whether to feel lucky or sad.

But anyway, Shi Liangping doesn't have the idea of ​​murdering her now, and she doesn't need to talk to him with the attitude of Tu Xiazao.

"Hmph, with my strong ladylike charm, maybe Shi Liangping will talk to me automatically."

Kyoko Nishijo raised her chin, brushed her short blond hair around her ears, and showed a proud expression.

"What was your original plan?" Shi Liangping asked Maruhashi, "Where do you want to travel before the exam?"

Maruhashi was lying on the table, her long hair was scattered on the table, glowing brightly.

She looked a little sleepy, and stretched out her index finger to lightly touch the glass filled with green tea, making the tea in the cup sway slightly.

Hearing Shi Liangping's question, her little ears moved.

"What was the original plan? Yihe wanted to go to Asakusa to take a water bus and a rickshaw driver, and Nishito wanted to go to Shibuya to buy clothes and peripherals at Shibuya 109-2 and the Disney store.

For Iwako, I want to go to Shibuya District to see the statue of the loyal dog Hachiko and take pictures at the Meiji Jingu Shrine. I want to go to Sensoji Temple to inspect the architecture again.

In other words, I am hesitating in Shibuya and Asakusa. "

Kyoko Nishito showed a puzzled expression when she heard what Marukashi said.

"You said the original plan, is it possible to change the plan?" Xijue Jingzi stared at Shi Liangping, speaking in a low voice.

"Is it possible that Shi Lianghei also participates in the selection of the region? Did you choose Shibuya or Asakusa?"

Shi Liangping shook his head: "No, Marubashi happened to be busy, so the original travel plan was cancelled."

"what!"

Hearing that the travel plan was suddenly cancelled, everyone present was blown out.

Several people looked at Maruhashi one after another, trying to wait for Maruhashi to give a reasonable answer.

"Hey, the travel can only be postponed. Recently, a company wants to cooperate with me to produce a comic." Maruhashi Yoko said with a depressed face.

"If it's done well, this manga is likely to be animeized, so it's very important. But the copyrights of many of my works have already been sold, and the rest don't meet the requirements.

So I can only take advantage of this time to come up with some new ideas and write a story outline,

But how can there be so many inspirations?Very annoying.

After I finish making this comic, let's go on a trip.I will cover all travel expenses by then. "

Shi Liangping was a little surprised. He knew that Maruhashi liked literature very much, and he also created his own works.

But I didn't expect her to be so powerful, and the copyright of her work was chased to buy,

Is she famous for writing light novels?Or why?

But Shi Liangping laughed in the next second. It turned out that Maruhashi was troubled because he had no inspiration.

"If you have no inspiration, you can seek everyone's opinions. You can tell me what special requirements you have for this comic."

Shi Liangping patted Maruhashi's shoulder lightly, encouraging him.

Maruhashi's eyes lit up, and she suddenly felt that she was somewhat limited by fixed thinking,

If she has no inspiration, she can indeed spark sparks of inspiration through communicating with others, and she can even find her own inspiration directly from other people's ideas.

Especially Shi Liangping, he has a very good foundation in the field of novels,

If it was him, he would definitely come up with a good idea that would amaze everyone. His idea is no worse than hers.

Maruhashi cheered up, she smiled and said to everyone:

"There is only one requirement for this comic, which is a good story composed of trendy elements. It cannot be a traditional literary story, nor can it be a simple rough splicing of elements.

But a complete good story composed of trendy elements. "

Shi Liangping nodded,

This requirement is not particularly harsh. It is easy to solve this problem by brainstorming.

If Maruhashi can solve the problem earlier, he can travel with him to places other than Shinjuku.

He had never been to the really fun sights in Tokyo.

If Maruhashi wants to treat you,

Ahem, how can you refuse a friend's invitation to travel?

"Well, let's listen to my arrangement. Starting from Yanzi, everyone will tell a story element that they think is the latest trend. What do you think of this idea?"

Shi Liangping pointed to Yanzi who was holding a water glass with both hands, and was drinking water in small sips with his lips pursed.

Then point everyone clockwise.

"After Iwako, it's Yihe, then Nishiho, then me sitting across from you, and finally Maruhashi to decide whose element to choose!

As long as we help Maruhashi solve this problem together, we can all travel early,

I am also very interested in traveling, so that everyone can meet their own needs. "

Everyone nodded when they heard Shi Liangping's interesting opinion.

For a happy trip, everyone is motivated.

Only Iwako Akemi lowered her head shyly. She didn't expect that she would be chosen as the first person to play.

"Come on, Yanzi!" Shi Liangping shouted with a smile.

Chapter 24, The Tron Metaverse

Iwako Akemi is really the traditional quiet and reserved female image of "Yamato Nadeko" in the impression of most people.

When others communicate, Iwako Akemi seldom expresses her own views, but quietly watches everyone from the sidelines, as if in a daze.

But when others ask her about certain things, everyone will find that she has been listening to everyone's words,

She can express herself fluently.

Iwako Akemi lowered her head, her neck was a little red, as if she was not used to everyone looking at her directly.

After thinking carefully for a while, she said softly:

"If it's a trendy element, the idea of ​​metaverse may be very good. Recently, many people have bought virtual currency and nft virtual collections."

After all, Iwako Akemi raised her eyes and took a peek at Maruhashi Yoko who was directly opposite it.

She knew Yoko Maruhashi was involved in this.

"Well, yes, I also bought it." Yoko Maruhashi twitched her hair boredly, "I lost a lot of virtual currency, but I made a lot of money by buying the virtual collection Boring Ape."

Shi Liangping was a little dumb beside him,

Virtual currency and virtual collectibles are the hottest financial products now, and indeed many people buy them.

After all, the third-generation Internet with "virtual currency", "virtual collection", "metaverse", "VR", "blockchain" and "decentralization" as its core elements is now attracting attention.

Whether it is fanatical capital or fanatical individuals,

They all hope to find new opportunities in the new wave of the Internet era.

However, according to the current development process of the third generation Internet,

Many products of the third-generation Internet are still at the stage of copying the products of the second-generation Internet and cutting leeks through hype.

For example, the "Boring Ape" product, as the most successful product in the virtual collection, actually does not have much core technology.

However, with the intervention of capital and the favor of the goddess of fate, its price has doubled by 1800 times within a year.

Now the lowest price on the market is $42.

Those who dare to play these things are rich people.

Because there is no money, he is not even qualified to enter the venue as cannon fodder.

Shi Liangping glanced at Ye Zi Maruhashi next to him, and belatedly realized that Maruhashi was a rich woman.

Iwako Mingmei saw that everyone was attracted by this topic, and her voice became firmer.

"Actually, the first thing I learned about this was because I saw a book called "Tron Uqbar Orbis Tertius", which was written by the writer Borges in 1940. A science fiction novel written in [-].

This book can be said to be the pioneering work of the Metaverse. The novelist Philip Dick who wrote "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" was inspired by this book and wrote "The Man in the High Castle" .

And all the works of virtual invasion of reality in later generations can be said to be influenced by this science fiction. "

Shi Liangping looked at Iwako Akemi in confusion,

In his impression, the Internet was only born in 1962, but to be truly popular, I am afraid that it will be in the 90s of the last century.

How could the so-called "Metaverse" appear in the era before the Internet?

This aspect really involves his knowledge blind spot.

When Kyoko Nishidori heard Mingmei say this book, she raised her hand super excitedly, shaking it in front of everyone:

"I know, I know, when Mingmei borrowed a book, I borrowed it to read it, and I finished it!"

"What is that book about? Can you tell me?" Shi Liangping asked curiously.

Shi Liangping was slightly surprised that there really was such a book.

He has read quite a few books, but he has never even heard of the title of this book.

Xiju Kyoko was still laughing excitedly in front of her, and the next second she heard Shi Liangping's question, she was like an eggplant beaten by frost.

"I don't know, I don't understand at all, woo woo woo." Kyoko Nishitou covered her face and cried helplessly.

"I only know that a new name suddenly appeared, and then Balabala introduced it for a while and stopped talking, leaving no impression.

The content is exactly like the introduction of a book, as if a title appeared, and then Barabara introduced a lot of things, and finally nothing seemed to be explained. "

Shi Liangping was speechless,

This guy's reading a book doesn't mean reading the cover, the first page, and the last page, right?

Seeing everyone quiet down, Iwako Akemi continued to explain:

"When Borges was 27 years old, he once wrote such an essay called "The Scale of My Dream", in which there is such a passage.

Buenos Aires at this moment is not a city, but a country, and we must find poetry, mythology, painting, religion and metaphysics that match it.

This is the measure of my hope, which invites all of us to be gods and to work towards it.

In the book "Tron", the Tron world that appears is a virtual world that is opposite to reality.

In the Tron world, people advocate idealist philosophy, materialism makes Tron people unbelievable, language is not dominated by the subject, and people are encouraged to revise history.

The Tron world uses literature as a medium to achieve the multiplication of the Tron universe and the invasion of reality.

So, I think the metaverse, or the virtual invasion of reality as a trendy story element is pretty good. "

After Iwako Akemi finished speaking, she picked up the green tea with both hands and drank it with a blushing face.

It was the first time she had expressed her complete thoughts so boldly, and it made her heart pound.
