In the middle of the night, Zhang Yue woke up in a dream.
This may sound strange, but it is true. With their?consciousness, they?opened their eyes, sat up from the bed, and saw the familiar room before falling asleep.
An extremely thin layer of mist floated in from the window, blurring the dim light into a hazy color.
The clothes hanging on the hanger seemed to be held by invisible arms, and they flew up automatically, and came to them. Zhang Yue dressed skillfully, got up and got out of bed.
"This kind of thing, no matter how many times I have gone through it, it still feels very novel." He muttered like this, he walked to the window, pushed open the glass, and saw a familiar street, a familiar neighborhood, and a building. A familiar building.
It's just that compared with the daytime and reality, all of this is shrouded in a mysterious mist.
This is the projection of the real world in the dream.
At this time, Zhang Yue seemed to be one of the residents of this dream world.
As Zhang Yue's eyes swept over, he vaguely saw that the houses in the mist were starting to light up, and some people also opened the windows to look this way.
With a thought in Zhang Yue's mind, mist surged in the room, and a cup of steaming coffee suddenly appeared in his palm. He leaned against the window sill, lowered his head and took a sip, leisurely admiring the night view outside.
"... Such a posture, such a movement, cough, full marks for handsomeness?!"
Just when he was intoxicated, an emotionless voice suddenly sounded in his ears: [It is detected that your Mengyuan is less than 100 points, please recharge as soon as possible. ]
This voice was like an evil devil, waking up the intoxicated Zhang Yue from his sweet dream. His face twisted all of a sudden, and the coffee almost spewed out: "Don't mention this, everything in the dream is still the same. Perfect!"
"Everything needs money. This is the biggest shortcoming of the dream world—no, if it really only asks for money, I am a krypton player! However, dream yuan cannot be exchanged with real currency. If there is a complaint message Board, I must strongly recommend opening a time-limited recharge channel!" A series of complaints popped up in his heart, and Zhang Yue summoned a transparent personal panel.
The content on this panel is very simple, except for their personal ID, there are only two lines of data, one is reading currency, and the other is dream yuan.
In the short time from the system prompt to when Zhang Yue clicked on the panel, Mengyuan's number has risen from 99 to 102.
In other words, the emotional energy generated by my long period of complaints and intense mental activities is only worth three Meng Yuan... Zhang Yue couldn't help but complain again, and saw the number ? ?It rose by a few tenths, and the corners of the mouth couldn't help but froze slightly.
Why do I feel like I'm living more and more like a spitting slave... No, it's all because of this weird dream element birth mechanism (—everyone's intense emotional ups and downs in the dream world will be turned into energy and absorbed by the dream world, And the feedback to everyone is Mengyuan points—) My cool and handsome image is gone forever... Right? It's all the fault of the dream system!
This strong idea had just been born, and seeing the Mengyuan value jumping up to 110 points, Zhang Yue's appearance and heart finally fell silent: "..."
... At this moment, he didn't know whether he should be happy that he had gained so much Mengyuan all at once, or sad that he had completely embarked on the road of making complaints about slavery and never returning.
"Ha, the guy who set up this system mechanism must be a skilled user of 007's skills in reality." After a moment of silence, Zhang Yue, who had completely given up, muttered, "...just squeezing the author can't satisfy him anymore? Why, even the readers who enter the dream have to gather waves anytime and anywhere?"
Tucao returns to Tucao, Zhang Yue actually knows that the composition of this entire dream world is built on the subconscious mind of all living beings? Every collection of emotional energy is helping this world become more stable. And the dream yuan that is fed back to them is the virtual currency of this world.
For example, the clothes automatically flew up just now, the coffee suddenly appeared, etc., all of which were realized by Zhang Yue's consumption of dream yuan in a single thought. In the dream world, they can manifest anything they can imagine. As long as there are enough dream yuan.
Although it was not the first day to land in the dreamland, Zhang Yue still felt that all this was wonderful.
Although there are no entertainment activities such as games and movies, I can freely create various interesting things in the room, eat snacks without worrying about physical problems, and can go to any foolish place in a single thought... This Adding all these together, it is interesting enough.
—The only thing you can't do is to enter other people's houses without the owner's permission. That is everyone's safe zone in the dream world, and people who are not invited cannot enter.
Habitually complaining about the capitalists who are hiding behind this currency system, Zhang Yue honestly walked back to the side of the bed and sat in front of the computer that suddenly appeared.
"... Forget it, let's get down to business first."
There is no need to turn on the computer, the computer screen lights up by itself, a clean interface is displayed, there is no other software, there is only an icon of Dreamland Bookstore.
—Yes, the so-called business is reading novels.
In the past, this was definitely something that would be reprimanded by teachers and parents as not doing their job properly, but now, the first thing everyone does after entering the dream world is mostly to log into the dream book city to read novels.
During this process, the love for the characters in a certain book, the love for the plot, even the admiration for the author...all positive emotions will be absorbed by Dreamland Book City and transformed into specific values.
Part of it will be converted into reading currency on the reader's account, and part of it will be converted into the reputation value of the corresponding author's background.
This is the key to their power in reality. The more coins/reputation they have to read, the safer they are. Because no one knows whether they will encounter danger one day, this is a weird world after all.
Under such a premise, no one would think there are too many reading coins?.
—Compared to Meng Yuan, which is a dispensable virtual currency, reading coins are like skill points, which can manifest skills in the real world. After all, Meng Yuan is just a virtual currency in the dream world, so how can life matter!
Compared with Mengyuan, which can be generated anytime and anywhere, it is more difficult to obtain reading coins. Only the emotions generated during the process of reading novels can be converted into reading coins, and the reading coins of different novels cannot be shared.
That is to say, the 100 reading coins generated by reading A novel can only manifest the power related to A novel in reality, such as the skill items mentioned in A novel, or summon the characters in A novel, and cannot be used In the B novel. This means that only novels that readers really like can be realized in reality. There is no use in forcing yourself to read a lot of books.
Even Zhang Yue and the others couldn't fake it. Because the novels they don’t like just don’t like it, even if they know the importance of reading coins, they can’t force themselves to have positive emotions and get reading coins.
"I really envy those Xiaobai. When I just started reading novels, I must find everything interesting?" While turning on the screen, Zhang Yue kept thinking, "It's not easy for an old bookworm like me."
While talking?, Zhang Yue has skillfully opened the "Investigator's Daily" that has been placed on the top of the bookshelf.
After just one glance, he wailed:
"—It's too difficult for me!"
"Today is another day when Yuanxia didn't update!"
... For an old bookworm who doesn't have many favorite books, but the author always likes to fish, life is making things difficult for me, a little cat!
At this moment, in the comment area of this novel, many readers also sent out crying complaints about being let down by the author:
[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuyou are not human! I declare that you are the number one expert in the fishing world, the salted fish king who rules all salted fish! ! ]
[Why? why treat me like this? For the first time, you can read novels openly, and for the first time, you can also manifest skills while reading novels. The two happy things are superimposed? It is obviously double the happiness, why did it become like this...]
[Obviously I read other? The author is very diligent in updating! Part of it? The author is said to be a ghost living in the dream world, and there are a lot of time code words every day. The rest? ah. In order to earn prestige points, I heard that even the few pigeons that I used to love the most have become daily watchers now. Why is Yuanxia so different and distinctive? I'm dry. ]
The comment area was full of howling ghosts and wolves. At this time, a comment with a significantly different style of painting popped up.
[Stop howling, stop howling, it's useless. I know an investigator from the Special Affairs Bureau. According to him, the entire dream world was created by Yuan Xia. Of course, he has the privilege of overriding others. Such as fishing :)]
[Hearing you say that, I feel bad all over. Is this the legendary employee bald boss fishing? Ah~ It is said that the whole world is connected in the dream, this salted fish must be wandering somewhere, right? I have a foolish trick, everyone should pay attention now, if anyone finds this salted fish, we will teleport it there collectively, pay attention, approach carefully, so as not to arouse their vigilance, and then catch it on the spot...]
[Add one, we will eat boiled salted fish tonight! ]
[Charcoal-roasted pigeon is also good. ]
[Tears flow out of his mouth unsatisfactorily. ]
A group of readers have liked it in the comments, and some people have even started to recommend? Cooking methods from all over the world. Even Zhang Yue was eager to see it, gearing up for it.
At this moment, an inappropriate reply came out, causing everyone to fall into a strange silence.
[… So, does anyone recognize him?] ]
In the quiet silence in the comment area, someone finally couldn't help but sighed, bringing out strong anger.
[I'm getting stupid now, the photos of other great masters have been leaked, but Yuanxia has never exposed them—damn it, it must be this pigeon spirit who did it on purpose! It seems that they?yes?the truth that he is a pigeon spirit is very close, and he has long been on guard against our offline real person to remind us to update! ! ! ]
Zhang Yue, who was gearing up, suddenly woke up.
For some reason, the first thing that popped into his head was the scene of stars suddenly descending in Tianze City: "No, if we really go offline to urge the update, it is not certain who will be caught in the small black room Woolen cloth."
With this understanding, his feverish head finally calmed down, he recovered his normal thinking ability, and began to flip through the other books on the shelf: "Forget it, let me chase this book I collected yesterday. It is said that the author She is a ghost lady who updates more than 30,000 a day... It is said that there are many ghost authors who are very diligent in updating... "
"...to be so diligent after turning into a ghost is obviously not for prestige, but because of the love of? writing! Compared with a certain? "
·
"I'm already a dead ghost, why am I even more tired than when I was a social animal?" From a hidden interlayer in the dream space, a long sigh came faintly, "The life after death is not the same as in my stupid elephant! "
Another voice asked back: "Are you stupid? What is it like in the elephant?"
The voice that sighed before said in a chant-like tone: "I thought—death is an eternal sleep!"
"That's a pity. You have to get used to it as soon as possible. The reality is that death is the beginning of 007 and the endless noise of the codewriter!"
Fang Luo imitated the poetic tone of this new ghost who had just painted the bottom layer of the dream world and officially entered the job, and told the cruel truth.
Then, he pushed the dazed new ghost to a computer, and said mercilessly, "The work rules are on your left, and you can start working."
"...Of course, if you are not used to the form of computer code words, you can also turn it into other things."
In addition to this new ghost, there are many computers densely packed in this mezzanine space at this time, as well as ghosts and ghosts working at desks. Hearing the voices of the two talking, they couldn't help casting ghosts here. gaze.
This, what a sad feeling, as if I was an overseer with a whip overseeing the work of the slaves... It's a pity you can't help it, this is the boss's decision... One after another thought came out of my mind, conscience Fang Luo, who was still alive, could no longer bear this atmosphere that seemed to be oppressing good people, and left the mezzanine space of this dream world in a hurry and rather embarrassed.
…Although knowing that these evil spirits also benefit from the emotional energy of readers’ feedback can at least stabilize their humanity and eliminate the need for constant coloring, but the benefits are definitely not enough to make them so obedient? , I'm really curious how the boss made them? They are so obedient
There is also the Wenhao system, no, it should be called Dreamland Book City now, it is said that it is a strange creature with intelligence, how did the boss make it obedient, the only one in the world? Weird, what if it? Tries to deceive everyone, is not good for humans, or manipulates secretly
Fang Luo was still thinking nonsense, when a clear male voice suddenly came into his ears: "Ordinary weirdness is like a rigid rule, stupid? It is impossible to change, and weirdness with wisdom is simple. Spiritual Wisdom means being able to communicate, be able to persuade, know the pros and cons, and know how to be in awe... Only such weirdness is willing to cooperate and make changes."
Fang Luo looked around in astonishment, and saw a familiar figure who had appeared not far in front of him at some point.
Dark gray long windbreaker, jet black and slightly messy hair, deep black pure eyes, clear and clean face, and a little smile randomly drawn on the corners of the lips.
Yuan Buwei ignored his surprise and continued: "Weirdness is the rules that distort and pollute. Rules are the composition of the world, so they cannot be destroyed. But the wisdom born in the rules is not the same. It is not protected."
Fang Luo suddenly understood: "Destroying the weird body is against the rules of the world, but if you just clear the intelligence of the Wenhao system, it is equivalent to bypassing the armored body and directly dealing with the undefended soul. ?”
... As for how the boss made the "soul" choose to surrender, and was convinced that the other party would not betray, Fang Luo's intuition told Fang Luo that it was definitely not something he? foolishly knew.
Yuan didn't want to glance at him: "It's not difficult, it's as simple as paying for a small cake."
Before Fang Luo was stupid, he understood what was going on with "Little Cake", and his whole body became alert all of a sudden: "You, you know I'm stupid? What?" He subconsciously threw out the honorific.
Only then did he realize that before he hadn't opened his mouth, he answered without reason, and now it's the same again. This is no longer explained by a simple coincidence.
Yuan raised his eyebrows not in surprise, maybe he was surprised? Did he see it, or was he surprised? It was so late to see it: "I can indeed."
Touching the transformed sugar jar in his hand, he threw the candies into his mouth one by one. Under Fang Luo's horrified gaze, he slowly bent his lips: "In general, there are I can't clearly see the soul in the clothes of the flesh body; but "out of the body, facing each other in the state of the soul", then all your secrets, right? I am not a secret. Especially when you are too emotional, those things in your heart Yu? Fa just hit me head-on."
Seemingly afraid that it would not be enough image, Yuan Buwei turned the sugar bowl in his hand and added: "Well, you can be foolish? It's like a candy jar burst open suddenly, and countless candies hit your face? The feeling when it hits you .”
Fang Luo: "...???"
... It sounds like enough image. No, why am I doing such a weird Lianyu?? Only children will be fooled into small cakes, candy jars and the like.
"Still thinking? To complain, it seems that your psychological endurance is better than my foolish imagination."
Didn't he glance thoughtfully at Fang Luo, seeing that the latter felt guilty for a while, and his mind was full of keywords like #呵呀呀大少婷生#.
"—Then I'm going to tell you the news, you should also be able to accept it :)"
Seeing that the big brother didn't pursue it, Fang Luo heaved a sigh of relief, and curiously asked, "What is it?"
He? At this time, he has completely calmed down. I have entered the dream space with the big brother before, and it is only today that the big brother has revealed his ability in front of them... From another perspective, the stupid is also a kind of trust.
No, I just hope you have a clearer understanding of me, and use it as a tool to let other people in the Secret Service understand, so that they don't doubt what I'm going to say next... I didn't want to glance again He glanced at it, and then said: "I once used a certain tool to spy on the future destiny of this world..."
In the fate plot given by the system 999, human beings perish, Zhang Chen is the son of luck, and finally merges with the weird. This trend seems to be nothing at first glance, but? Combined with the original undiscovered "world rules are polluted and distorted" From the perspective of the truth, there are obviously two interpretations.
The first interpretation: This world has been completely polluted, and it tends to be more weird, just like those ancient overlords who were eliminated? Then humans were chosen to be on the stage? Now the human race will also be eliminated, and weirdness is the future era The protagonist of the world—this is chosen by the will of the world.
If so, then no matter what humanity is doing now, it will be a futile death struggle, and the short-lived light of hope will be extinguished sooner or later. Because fate is unwilling to favor, the world is not on the side of human beings.
The second interpretation: The world is not completely polluted. He is like a person who is still struggling after being invaded by a virus. Because of a fever and dizziness, he chose the wrong child of luck. Neither Zhang Chen nor the direction of human extinction came from the will of the world. It can only be said that if there is no reason to do nothing, in the established direction, the struggle and resistance of the world itself has failed, and it has been completely polluted.
—If so, it can still be rescued.
As long as mankind removes pollution and distortion step by step, the speed of removing pollution is faster than the speed of pollution spreading, and helping the world recover from the "sick" state, this may be a long process, but sooner or later everything will usher Back to normal day.
It was not because the part about Zhang Chen being the son of luck was hidden, but also the process of analysis was hidden, and only two possibilities were presented to Fang Luo.
"In short, maybe everything is meaningless, and we can only sink together in the end; maybe, after a long time, the hope they were looking forward to will finally come—" He fell into a panic in a voice that was calm enough to contain no emotion Fang Luo said, "Remember to tell the Special Affairs Bureau."
Fang Luo is still immersed in the horror of the future? But God, countless terrifying pictures have emerged in his mind
Seeing that Yuan didn't want to finish this sentence? He was about to leave, he subconsciously said: "Why didn't you say it yourself?"
"No, I'll probably be busy next time."
——For the mysterious existence that passed by unintentionally at the beginning, and for the aura that just radiated from the other party at random and distorted the rules of the entire small world, Yuan Wuwei was quite curious. He? Ready to try to catch a ray, to see what that essence is.
Pleasantly thinking about the next plan, Yuan didn't want to stuff himself with a candy again.
[Host?, I thought you wouldn't tell them the truth. ] System 999 wondered, [After all, this is not helpful, and it is too cruel.]
If it's the first kind of guessing foolishness, even if they know the truth in advance, they can't do anything, instead they will fall into despair and chaos, making everything today come to naught; if it's the second kind, let alone, as long as ?Let everything fall into place and hope will come.
The system 999 came up with his own analysis, and suddenly felt as if he had become smarter. With a flash of inspiration, he said: [We can even fabricate white lies, as long as we talk about the second possibility, everyone can have hope , Just live like this without knowing the truth, even if the end comes in the future, at least you will be happier, right?]
"Wouldn't you be happier if you don't know the truth? Even if you live in false lies all your life..." Yuan Buwei repeated, accidentally biting the candy.
He puffed his cheeks in frustration, and the rich black color in his pupils seemed to become much deeper and purer in an instant.
The next moment, the ink color faded, and he spoke casually.
"Well, then think I'm suddenly stupid? Do something bad."
