META Quantum Era

Chapter 7 Substitutes1

The Cyber neighborhood where the two of them are located was built by a real-world architect. He once bluntly stated that his design was inspired by the writings of a historian who has studied ancient and modern times.

The work not only mentions the rise and fall of architectural history around the world, but also the aesthetic changes of people in different cultural contexts.

When building the virtual model, the designer boyishly mixed the aesthetics of architecture and gardens from all over the world for thousands of years, not only cleverly integrated into the full humanistic feelings, but also made people unable to see the slightest sense of stitching, it is completely a work of art.

The beauty of the model is shocking, respected by countless people, and attracted continuous capital increase. With the support of dynamic meshing, it eventually became a giant public commercial district with a radius of more than ten square kilometers and a capacity of more than 50,000 people to visit: Yongye Ji.

After opening up for operation, nearly 100 copies exploded in a short period of time. Media Tower Company once again conducted commercial bidding. To date, more than 600 copies have been added, and the average number of people online every day exceeds 20 million. The largest consumer center in the Yuan Universe.

Although the businesses in each industry vary widely, most of them are mainly in the service industry. After all, other industries have their own customer centers or virtual stores. If you shop physically, you don't need to walk the streets and alleys here.

And overall, the proportion of restaurants is the smallest. After all, except for the brain-computer interface, it is difficult to perfectly simulate taste in other ways. What's more, enjoying food requires the entire mouth and nose cavity to work together. Temperature, soft and hard touch, dry humidity, etc. all have a significant impact on the taste of the mouth, and it will not help to deceive the taste buds alone.

Compared with the few people who use dormant warehouses, the main body of Yuanshuangxue's current consumption lies in vr users, so nearly half of Yongye's merchants are actually focusing on social interactive entertainment. If you are looking for emotional stimulation, go to the plot to make friends, and if you are looking for sensory stimulation, go to the arena to compete. Hundreds of shops have their own different ways to play, and you can always find a way you like.

In addition, the system will select the server based on the user's geographic location. If you think a*****e online is not bad, you can quickly find the nearby real store offline. Similarly, if an offline store is respected, its corresponding virtual store will be assigned to a server with a larger number of people online and a higher level.

The unique scoring and ranking mechanism and the uncontrollable flow of users have allowed each server and its nearly a thousand shops to enter endless competition. Merchants hollowed out their minds and pondered new activities almost every day, making this market inexhaustible vitality.

The Yongyeji server where Pang Tai is now located belongs to the ‘fantasy'type, which refers to the relatively loose user permissions. There is no no-fly zone over the neighborhood, and people can enjoy using small virtual flight props, or they can use any virtual image. In addition, businesses can also modify the details of the building model, such as the venue for a special event of a certain game, and so on.

In the long run, each server has gradually formed its own characteristics and slowly gathered a group of specific users. This has also produced an officially recognized gathering phenomenon. Some servers have even changed their names and become a meeting place for a group of specific audiences.

Although such a market looks lively and lively, the actual ranking is not high. Users with strong consumption power are more inclined to an orderly environment than these bells and whistles marketing gimmicks.

However, for lovers of fantasy games, wonderful things can happen at any time in such places, which is obviously much more interesting.

Pang Tai and the two were chatting happily, when suddenly there was a flicker of light and shadow on the dining table, and a small two-headed flying dragon spit out its tongue and fell directly in front of it, smashing the door of the shop in a mess.

An Ji jumped up from his chair in fright, but the uncle who played the guitar was not surprised. This kind of thing often happens in this server. The lobby manager skillfully reset the data before the impact in the background, and everything was restored as new.

The little flying dragon fluttered twice in front of him and then fluttered its wings and left. The image of a slightly sullen anime girl suddenly leaned in front of Anji, so close that she could almost feel her breathing temperature.

“What did you guys do? Let me find it easy! ”The girl was thin and wore a pair of medieval armor. Without saying a word, she pulled out the cross sword from her waist and began to question.

An Ji was taken aback for a moment, a little unable to laugh or cry.

“Ji Jiao? Why did you change your image again? ”

“It's a little bit, it's boring, but you can still recognize it every time you change it. ”The girl spit out her tongue, patted the bulky armor on her body, and suddenly turned into a set of regular clothes, her hair was bunted with a shawl, the cartoon lines slowly transitioned into a sense of substance, and the bright color saturation became much dimmer.

“You haven't answered me yet. The opening ceremony has been over for several hours. Why do you keep blocking communications? ”

“I just played an immersive game with Brother Tai and forgot to unblock it. "An Ji scratched his head and asked, “Having said that, you are pretty good now. How did you find us?" ”

Ji Jiao pointed to Pang Tai's nose: “Uncle Fat taught me to track the encryption protocol of the communication channel. He said that your encryption algorithm belongs to the most complex kind in the world. It is very eye-catching in the background of the server and can be easily found. . ”

After hearing this, An Ji immediately became dumb. He didn't expect that the encryption he had hollowed out of his mind was originally for purity, but instead it became an easy way for others to track him down.

“Brother Fat, don't you teach her to be serious and engage in these crooked ways all day long?" "An Ji couldn't help but complain.

“How many times have I said, I'm not fat, I'm strong. Besides, don't fool around with this girl. "Pang Tai was a little impatient: “Ji Jiao, I am more than ten years older than you, and it's not your turn to be called an uncle." ”

“But Professor Zhang said it's okay, haha, if you call me brother, it will make me look old. Ji Jiao grinned and suddenly opened her mouth wide: "Oh!” By the way, I almost forgot about business. ”

“Let me just say, an Internet-addicted girl like you can't wait to get into the game after get off work every day. If nothing happens, it's impossible to find someone in a hurry. ”

“Hmm? What does ’Internet addiction' mean? New vocabulary? ”

“It's a very old word. In the words of your fat uncle, it can be called a ‘digital believer’,” Anji added.

This explanation made Ji Jiao's head foggy, but she didn't bother to pay attention to it.
