Chapter 369 The First Residents of Infinite City (10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
There is no doubt that Lucius Malfoy is a typical opportunist and will never let go of anything that can be taken easily Opportunities for benefits and benefits.
Although his ambitions are not big and he knows how to measure most of the time, it does not mean that he has none.
Especially now that Voldemort is obviously unable to make a comeback, and Zuo Si has mastered the fate of the Ministry of Magic to some extent, he will naturally want to reach into the Ministry of Magic to get the coveted treasure. that power.
After all, in any human society, the level of power is much higher than the level of wealth.
Having money without matching rights is like a fattened pig that may be slaughtered at any time.
This rule is equally applicable to modern so-called legal societies, not to mention wizards who still retain some of the nature of the jungle.
Even though the Malfoys are now one of the richest families in the British wizarding world, their political influence is obviously not as much as those of pure-blood and mixed-blood families who have served as ministers of magic.
The reason why Lucius was able to unite some people around him was entirely because when Voldemort fell, he was the first to use the poor excuse of "he was under the Imperius Curse" to successfully escape punishment. And actively helped other allies who also joined the Death Eaters for the benefit of the family.
Because these people have betrayed Death Eaters who were loyal to Voldemort, they also killed many wizards and Muggles during the war.
Therefore, they were afraid that they would be suppressed by members of the Order of the Phoenix headed by Dumbledore, and they were even more afraid that one day the Dark Lord would come back to settle accounts with them. As a last resort, they could only hug together and surround themselves with the Malfoy family led by Lucius.
This also gave Lucius a certain amount of political capital, allowing him to enter the Hogwarts school board, bribe Ministry of Magic officials through money offensives, and even influence the minister's decision-making.
Unfortunately, he obviously didn't understand what Zuo Si really wanted.
Since acquiring almost all the magic knowledge, various magical animals and magical plants of interest, Zuo Si has basically no interest in the so-called magic world and wizards.
Just think of it as a holiday place to rest and relax.
Apart from occasionally purchasing in bulk some materials for making magic items and brewing potions through the network of relationships I have established, I have no other needs at all.
Since there is no demand, why bother fussing over it when you are full?
Just continue to maintain this stable state.
As for controlling the magical world in Britain, Europe and the world, he really has no interest at all, let alone waste precious time and energy on such meaningless things.
At least there won't be any big moves until Principal Dumbledore dies of natural causes.
Just the opposite!
Compared to the magical world, Zuo Si is actually more interested in the world of ordinary people.
Whether it is those high-level talents who have received higher education and have proven their abilities, or the souls of countless ordinary people who were sent to the afterlife and finally returned to their original energy form, or the rapidly developing technology Level, as well as cheap fabrics, steel, food, condiments, large machinery and other products brought about by high industrialization, are what is really needed to rebuild the floating city world.
However, it is not difficult to obtain these things, especially for him who can withdraw cash from "the enemy" anytime and anywhere. It is easier than eating and drinking. There is no need to build a network that spans six continents. Secret societies across the four oceans.
After giving Lucius, Gemma Farley and others a stern warning, Zuo Si immediately put the matter behind him.
Just when he returned to the door of the principal's office, the originally closed door suddenly opened.
Dumbledore and Umbridge, the Minister of Magic, walked out side by side.
Behind the two of them were Snape, Black, Lily, McGonagall, Harry and other parties involved.
Especially Snape and Black, both were staring at each other with a look of extreme disgust, disgust and hatred. Even though they were several meters away, they could feel the lightning flashing in the air. spark.
If there was no one else around, Zuo Si had no doubt that the two of them would fight immediately until one of them was completely torn to pieces.
Unfortunately, Harry and Lily, mother and son, physically separated them from each other, making them afraid to launch an attack at the cost of accidentally injuring the most important person in the world.
Of course, as the savior who has learned the truth and is caught between his stepfather and godfather, his reaction is also quite interesting, with a complex expression of joy mixed with a hint of embarrassment and entanglement on his face.
The joy is that this biological father’s best friend did not betray him. Instead, he desperately chose to avenge him after the murder, and even suffered injustice and was imprisoned in Azkaban for ten years. No regrets for many years.
In other words, from now on, he has another godfather who cares about and loves him.
This is undoubtedly a very happy thing for Harry, who has lacked family affection and care since he was a child.
What's more, Black also promised that even if he spent all the money in the family treasury, he would find a way to get a piece of magic mercury to resurrect his biological father James.
The embarrassment and tangle is that because his mother has been dead for so long, she has long forgotten the time she spent with her biological father, and is determined to marry Snape, and between the two of them He even has children now.
In addition, biological father James will most likely not remember his former wife after his resurrection, so getting back together is basically out of the question.
Coupled with the incompatible and tense relationship between the godfather and stepfather, not to mention a minor like Harry, even adults will feel a headache.
What's more, he severely injured Blake with a gun at the wedding scene.
Although the other party repeatedly emphasized that he didn't need to care, and even praised his brave and decisive character as worthy of being a Gryffindor lion, he was still full of guilt and apology in his heart.
Just when Harry Potter was thinking about how to deal with this complicated family relationship in the future, the reporters and the crowd who had been waiting at the door for a long time finally reacted and gathered around with excitement. Go up.
As a gold medal reporter, Rita Skeeter unceremoniously bumped away a colleague with her butt, got closer before everyone else, and asked loudly: "Principal Dumbledore! Um! Minister Rich! Is Sirius Black really innocent as he claims?"
"Through Legilimency, we have been able to confirm that Black was indeed innocent.
Instead of betraying the Potters, they secretly changed the secret keeper to Peter Pettigrew
In other words, Peter was the traitor who secretly joined Voldemort and betrayed his friends.
And the curse that blew up a street and killed countless Muggles was also Peter's crazy move when he was cornered and jumped over the wall. ”
Dumbledore was the first to speak and explain the causes and consequences of the whole thing.
After all, he is a master of Legilimency, and he has authority in this regard that others do not possess.< br>
“So...the Ministry of Magic made a big mistake? Not only did he arrest the wrong person and throw the last heir of the Black family, the Holy 28 pure-bloods, into Azkaban to die, but he also treated the murderer and criminal as a hero and awarded him the first-class Medal of Honor of the Order of Merlin? ”
Rita Skeeter's eyes lit up like a fly seeing excrement.
Obviously, she has always been good at using exaggeration and false information to fabricate eye-catching news. She realized almost immediately that this was definitely a story that could appear on the front page of the Daily Prophet and other media. Breaking news in the headlines.
If we add a little more fuel and fan the flames, many big figures may have to take the blame and resign, ending their political careers sadly.
"Ahem! Ms. Skeeter, please watch your words.
It was not the Ministry of Magic that made this huge mistake, but the previous Minister of Magic Fudge and his appointment Those stupid officials made unforgivable mistakes.
Corruption, weakness, and incompetence. Although I don’t really want to speak ill of my former boss, the bad influence caused by my tenure has been hurting the British wizarding community.
But please rest assured, this is no longer the dark age when Fudge was in power.
I swear that when I go back, I will severely punish the relevant personnel who caused this unjust, false and wrong case, and hold them accountable. "
Umbridge made her promise with a righteous and stern attitude in front of countless pairs of eyes.
Don't look at the sad expression on her face now, but in fact, in her heart I've been happy for a long time
Because through this incident, not only can a big black pot be put firmly on Fudge's head, but at the same time, those who may pose a threat to his position as Minister of Magic can be cleared away.
For example, the prestigious Barty Crouch, Rufus Scrimgeour, and the wizards of the Wizengamot governing body who hold the highest judicial authority.
Then he will take the opportunity to promote some of his cronies to important positions.
When it comes to fighting for power, Umbridge has a keen sense of smell that is different from ordinary people, and she also knows how to seize the fleeting opportunity to consolidate her position.
Hearing these words, Principal Dumbledore couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
With his intelligence, it was impossible not to hear that Umbridge was deliberately criticizing, saying that she blindly promoted Fudge to the position of Minister of Magic, which led to a series of serious mistakes later.
What’s even more terrible is that Rita Skeeter also understood the subtext that was not directly stated, and immediately used the quill that could automatically make up nonsense to record it, and recorded the greatest contemporary figure in front of her. Wizards are portrayed as senile and dim to weaken their terrifying appeal in the wizarding world.
Of course, having lived to Dumbledore's age, he no longer cares about what outsiders think of him.
So he just glanced at the content on the sheepskin, and did not stop the other party from unscrupulously arranging himself. Instead, he kept using the corner of his eye to peek at the girl standing next to his brother Aberforth. .
Ariana…
His biological sister, a poor girl who was killed by her own ambition and desire.
Although in the eyes of many outsiders, the famous Albus Dumbledore is wise, calm and can remain calm at all times.
Except for the moral restraint on oneself, there are almost no shortcomings that can be exploited.
But in fact, Albus himself knew very well that he actually had a very fatal weakness, which was his indescribable longing and guilt for Ariana.
This emotion has long been accumulated and superimposed for nearly a hundred years, and has long since become a huge mental and psychological burden.
This is why Dumbledore reacted so violently to resurrecting his dead sister.
When a person has a strong feeling of guilt towards another person, he will subconsciously resist meeting the other person.
But he is obviously much more serious than this, almost becoming like an inner demon that he cannot get rid of no matter what.
While countless people were rushing to ask questions loudly and the door of the principal's office was in chaos, Zuo Si quietly came to the ignored savior and asked in a slightly playful tone: "Harry, what are you doing now? How do you feel? "
"Uh... I don't know how to describe it. I used to fantasize about how great it would be to have a perfect family and parents if I wasn't an orphan. Suddenly, I found that the adult world seemed much more complicated than expected." Harry Potter sighed slightly with a look of helplessness.
"Look around, don't be so gloomy.
Looking on the bright side, you now have at least two fathers, one is your stepfather and the other is your godfather.
There is also one who may be resurrected in the future. A biological father, and a biological mother who is willing to sacrifice her life for you.
If your godfather and your resurrected biological father find true love and get married, there will also be a godmother and stepmother. A person has three fathers, three mothers, three families and a lot of brothers and sisters.
Isn't this the family you've always dreamed of? "
Zuo Si resisted the urge to burst into laughter, patted the other party's shoulder and explained.
You must know that this wonderful drama staged under his intervention is comparable to those same, boring and The bloody love story is much more exciting.
Look at this extremely complicated interpersonal relationship and plot. First, the bad boys headed by James Potter became enemies with Snape during their school days, and then another one. He snatched away his childhood sweetheart Lily, and finally gave birth to a son.
In order to regain his love, Snape turned black and joined Voldemort's Death Eaters, and wanted to do so. To keep Lily safe
But in the end, it was all in vain. For a long time, I fell into deep self-blame and regret and couldn't extricate myself.
After getting the magic mercury to resurrect Lily, Snape went directly to the golden house to hide the beauty, and cooked the raw rice into cooked rice at all costs. From a bitter and hateful NTR, Became a glorious NTR.
To a certain extent, he and James Potter can be said to have given each other a green hat, and they are barely even.
If you think this is the end, you are totally wrong.
In fact, the really interesting part won’t really begin until James Potter is resurrected.
At that time, Harry will have to face his biological father plus godfather VS biological mother plus stepfather, as well as more than one half-sibling.
In the face of this complex and contradictory family relationship, it would be good if it was not driven crazy. There would be no time to deal with the so-called old enemy-Voldemort.
"Thos... the smile on your face seems a bit evil now." Harry Potter reminded in a low voice.
Zuo Si immediately shook his head in denial: "No, no, no, this must be your illusion.
In fact, I am happy for you to find more and more relatives.
After all, no matter what conflicts they had before, their love for you is true.
What’s more, as long as you are alive, there are endless possibilities.
Maybe you can resolve their grudges through your own efforts? "
"Yes! I can try it! ”
Harry’s eyes suddenly burst into light called hope.
After Zuo Si noticed this, he immediately flashed a hint of teasing that was not easy to detect.
Resolve the grievances between James, Black and others and Snape?
Too naive!
And it’s absolutely impossible!
Just because of Snape's vengeful, vindictive and arrogant character, it is 100% impossible to forget the bullying and humiliation he suffered back then, as well as the unforgettable hatred of seizing his wife.
By the same token, the self-righteous James and Black would never sincerely apologize to Snape for their behavior during their school days.
Therefore, all Harry's attempts to make the two sides shake hands and make peace will ultimately end in failure or even have the opposite effect.
And he will also become the object of competition and influence from both sides, just like a mouse caught in a bellows and receiving influence from both sides.
It won’t take long for the savior to understand that in fact, things like family love tend to feel better the farther away they are, but when you are in it, you often feel irritable and upset.
Especially with a complex situation like his, I am afraid that after ten or twenty years of growing up, the whole person may crack.
As the Ministry of Magic officially admitted that Sirius Black was innocent and that Peter, who was posthumously named a hero, was the real murderer, the British wizarding world was in an uproar.
Fudge, who had retired and was preparing to retire at home and wait to die, was once again scolded by the overwhelming public opinion and even had to go abroad to avoid the limelight.
Instead of being given the title of "The Greatest Minister of Magic", he was given a series of terrible titles as the worst, weakest, most incompetent and most corrupt.
Even the family and their descendants were affected. Unable to withstand the huge condemnation, they resigned and left the positions they had finally obtained.
Under the banner of "wiping out the remnants of Fudge" and "returning a clear sky to the British wizarding world", Umbridge launched a purge of various important positions in the Ministry of Magic, and conveniently removed Gemma Farley and other "One's own people" are put in, and the euphemistic name is to give more opportunities to young people who dare to fight and are full of adventurous spirit.
After a set of combination punches, even those pure-blood families who originally looked down on Umbridge could not help but be convinced, and believed that no other person could shake her position in a short period of time.
In addition, there is also interesting information, that is, Ron's pet rat, Scabbers, is missing.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Zuo Si.
At this moment, he was sitting on the chair in the principal's office, flipping through a research notebook on ancient magic with interest. After more than ten minutes, he raised his head and asked: "Why suddenly "Give me this?"
"Because I want to retire. From now on, the wizarding world will officially enter the era led by you," Dumbledore replied in a slightly tired tone.
It is easy to tell from the puffy bags and dark circles under his eyes that he has been suffering from insomnia recently since meeting Ariana.
But Zuo Si closed his note and sneered and refused: "Sorry, Professor. I'm not ready to take on such an important responsibility. Don't forget, I'm still a student at Hogwarts. ."
"Haha, if you want, I can issue you a diploma now, and you can get the full score assessment certificate for all ordinary wizards and ultimate wizards without taking an exam.
< br>In fact, apart from your age, your total magic power, knowledge and skills have reached an astonishing level.
With you here, a guy like Tom can't do anything. Wind and waves. In addition, I plan to put down everything and use the last time of my life to do what I must do to make up for the mistakes I made before.”
When he said these words, Dumbledore's eyes were no longer as sharp and aggressive as before, but showed weakness like ordinary people.
“First of all, thank you for your recognition and trust.
But unfortunately, I am not the kind of person you are looking for, and I will not dedicate everything to protecting the current order of the magic world. .
Just the opposite.
If someone now jumps out and shouts that he wants to overturn the secrecy law like Grandevo, I will not only not stop him, but I will also strongly support him.
Because in my opinion, the current magical world is too comfortable and full of blind arrogance.
As the technological level of the Muggle world advances with each passing day, it will only be a matter of time before it is finally discovered.
At that time, it will no longer be the wizard who has the initiative.
In fact, the magic world is dying at a slow speed.
Maybe it's decades, maybe it's hundreds of years...
When Muggle technology reaches enough to fly out of the earth and start a journey to the stars and sea, do you think the wizards who are still on the ground are like those primitive and backward people in the jungle? What is the difference between the indigenous tribes?
Excessive conservatism will only lead to elimination and destruction. This is a truth that has been proven time and time again in human history.
Although many newspapers and media can claim that I am the leader of the next era, I can tell you clearly that I will never become the second you.
In addition, from the moment you defeat Grindelwald, there is no so-called future for the wizarding world.
It was you who personally killed the wizards' last chance to dominate the world. "
After that, Zuo Si returned the note to the principal, and expressed his position and attitude very clearly.
Being the guardian of the magic world?
Sorry, this kind of thing that only has responsibilities and obligations but no corresponding power, and may also be kidnapped by morality, he will never take over the "ability" before his mind is squeezed through the door.
The bigger you get, the greater the responsibility.” This kind of nonsense should be used to fool those passionate young people who have never experienced social beatings.
Dumbledore was keenly aware of the contempt and disdain in Zuo Si's eyes. He held his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Do you think the decision I made was wrong? Are you a traitor and a sinner among wizards?"
Zuo Si shook his head slightly: "No, I didn't say that, I just stated a fact that already existed.
At least from the perspective of Muggles, you successfully prevented an attempt to subvert the world. The careerists of the existing order and the extreme racists who believe in wizards are out-and-out saviors and heroes.
As for what will happen in the magic world in the future, who can tell clearly."
"What about you? If a war really breaks out between Muggles and wizards one day, what will you do and choose?" Dumbledore asked with a serious expression.
"I won't do anything. I will just stand by and watch them decide the winner. At most, I will protect some people I know and care about when the wizard side loses. That's all. Oh, by the way, I have been a little busy recently, maybe I can’t make it back to take the final exam, so I’ll ask you for leave in advance.”
After saying this, Zuo Si ignored the principal’s reaction, stood up and walked out of the office door.
Looking at his retreating back, Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh again, turned around and looked out the window at the gloomy sky, his heart filled with anxiety and worry.
Only this time the worry is no longer about Voldemort, but about the future of wizards and the wizarding world.
If it had been in the past, he would never have doubted the wave that swept across the European magic world decades ago, as well as the choices he made, as he does now.
But since he began to pay attention to the technological development of the Muggle world, the centenarian suddenly realized that even with magic like the Muggle Expelling Curse, the probability of wizards being discovered by Muggles would inevitably become higher and higher in the future.
Especially the increasing number of surveillance cameras on the streets and alleys, which may capture wizards using various magics at any time.
Maybe now the Ministry of Magic can barely rely on sending people to use the forgetting spell to delete these things.
But what if the cameras become smaller and smaller, more and more hidden, and the number increases dozens or even hundreds of times?
At that time, can a dozen or even dozens of wizards really handle so many emergencies in a short period of time?
There is also a fast information transmission technology called "Internet" that has developed rapidly in recent years, which is also a huge potential threat to wizards.
Compared with the miraculous development speed of the Muggle world after the end of World War II, the insignificant progress and changes in the magical world are simply like a pool of stagnant water.
"Fox, do you think I was really wrong?" Dumbledore asked his pet Phoenix.
But unfortunately, although Phoenix is smart enough to understand what the master wants to express, when faced with such an overly complicated problem, he can only pretend to be innocent and blink. Don't know how to answer.
……
At the same time, Zuo Si, who left the principal's office, went to say goodbye to Hermione and then started shopping with a list.
Same as before, he first randomly selected a few "lucky ones", then directly fired the Soul-Impering Curse to complete the control, and ordered the other party to start purchasing the contents on the list through various channels.
In just a few days, countless steel, precision mechanical parts, advanced laboratory-specific instruments and other messy things were all stuffed into the box of the Traceless Stretch Spell.
After all this was done, Zuo Sicai returned directly to the Floating City with the souls collected by Phoenix God Bennu during this period, and met with these people in the virtual space that replicated Waterdeep City.
Since there were already thirty experts from various fields, some of whom knew each other or heard each other’s names, their original nervousness was quickly calmed down, and through psychic energy The transmission channel injects consciousness into the prepared clone body.
Immediately afterwards comes the popular stage of snatching people.
Since several relatively independent departments have been established in the floating city, and each department has a lot of topics that urgently need to be studied, it can be said that manpower is very scarce.
Not to mention these geniuses who are already well-known in the industry, even ordinary researchers are eager to get more.
In fact, due to the extreme shortage of manpower, many tasks have been completed by constructs and even corpse-embedded creatures with certain intelligence.
Of course, these guys are different from those mass-produced ones. They have been specially modified and strengthened according to needs. They often have two or three heads and seven or eight hands. One person can stand up to several ordinary researchers. .
The only regret is that they can only engage in repetitive tasks that require little brain power, and have no ability to make independent judgments at all.
Including weapons design and R&D team, overall planning and social science team, magic chemistry laboratory, energy and physics laboratory, biological and necromantic technology laboratory, psychic signal enhancement laboratory, and materials science laboratory The heads of various departments even put down their research and went into battle personally in order to grab more manpower.
Suddenly, the first floor hall of the central tower of the Floating City turned into a recruitment scene.
No matter what department they are in, they are desperately emphasizing their importance, showing the projects under study and the heights they can achieve in the future.
It didn’t take long for the new group of high-level talents to make their choices one after another and devote themselves to the magic field that they had never been exposed to before with great enthusiasm.
For those who have died once, being able to regain a new life and continue to engage in research that they are interested in, and learn to master the mysterious and unpredictable magical power, is simply a matter of extreme luck. They are afraid that they will not be able to perform well and will be eliminated. Lose.
In contrast, other players who know nothing about the truth are not so lucky.
These souls were first put into prepared containers to separate them, and then were inhaled in batches by the mastermind Isadora into another illusory world "Infinite City", and their memories were slightly altered. Revise.
Soon, the first batch of new souls woke up from the huge dormant chamber called "Ant Nest".
"This...where is this? Who am I?"
An Asian face in his thirties slowly climbed out of the silver dome full of science fiction and looked around with a blank expression.
There were about three to four hundred people who woke up with him, uniformly wearing white tights, and slowly gathered towards the only passage at the door.
Although these people include white people from Europe and America, yellow people from East Asia, and Latinos from South America, they can communicate without barriers and speak very fluently. They are not like any other people on earth. a language.
When everyone gathered together, the originally closed door slowly opened, and a young girl with short hair walked in from the outside.
You know without asking that she is the avatar created by the mastermind Isadora.
After first feeling the mental state of these souls and confirming that they were not crazy or stupid, Isadora said with a smile: "I think you must be confused about where this place is and who you are. , right?”
“That’s right! Miss! Please give us a clear explanation.” A tall white man squeezed out of the crowd.
"No problem, that's what I'm going to say next. First of all, please calm down, search your memory, and then tell me if you remember anything?"
yi Sadora pointed to her temples and used words to guide the minds of these newly transformed souls.
About two or three minutes later, the first Asian to wake up exclaimed: "Ah! I remembered! I...I was in a car accident and was run over by a clock train. Then he lost consciousness.”
"Damn it! I remembered it too! I was hit in the heart by a bullet on the battlefield." The strong white man's face instantly turned pale.
"I have terminal cancer!"
"I have a heart attack!"
"I...I have acute leukemia!"
… …
As one person after another recalled the last scene before death, they finally found what they had in common with each other.
When Isadora saw this scene, she immediately clapped her hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said to herself: "I believe you don't need to explain, you all already understand that you have actually died once. But you Fortunately, the family signed an experimental agreement at the last moment, allowing scientific research institutions to freeze the bodies and use them for related medical research."
"Wait! If our bodies are donated for medical research, then. Shouldn't they be dissected like the corpses soaked in formalin solution in medical schools?" a young hostage wearing glasses interrupted.
"No, you misunderstood. The agreement you signed is not the kind of ordinary medical research, but the research on consciousness and soul after death. From 1992 to now, it has passed After three centuries, our company has finally mastered the cutting-edge technology that can resurrect corpses, and you are the first people to be awakened."
While saying this, Isadore said. La watched everyone's reactions carefully.
As she expected, when these guys heard that three hundred years had passed, they were all stunned with expressions of disbelief.
"Three...three hundred years? We have been frozen for three hundred years!"
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old Latin girl opened her mouth wide, and her whole body was slightly agitated because of her excitement. Trembling.
Isadora nodded slightly: "Yes. According to the agreement, you are the first batch to be frozen, so you are also the first batch to be awakened."
"But... ...But why can't I remember my name? Not only the name, but also other information has become very blurry?" the white man frowned and asked.
"Due to the immature technology in the early days, the freezing equipment was far less safe and reliable than it was later. As a result, your brain may have suffered some unknown minor damage.
However, this situation should not be very serious. Maybe you can recover on your own after a while
What's more, it's been three hundred years, and your former family and friends are no longer there
Now that you have forgotten the past. "Why not give yourself a new name to embrace the future life?"
Isadora was obviously well prepared and gave a convincing reason straightforwardly.
In fact, the selective amnesia of these people was entirely the result of her deliberate erasure.
The purpose is also very simple, that is, to downplay the contradictions and conflicts that may be caused by factors such as race, nationality, religion, etc., so that these souls can quickly forget the past and become the kind of "fourth natural disaster" that Zuo Si needs.
There is no doubt that the possibility of long-term freezing causing damage to brain cells is so high that the strong white man immediately chose to accept it, while sighing with a wry smile: "Well, as a person who has died once People are very lucky to be reborn. I really shouldn’t expect too much. Miss, if you don’t mind, can you show us what the future world will look like?”
"Okay. Please line up and follow me. Remember, don't touch anything you don't understand. Otherwise, our company will not be responsible for accidents and casualties. If important equipment and instruments are damaged If there is any damage, you must make compensation.”
After saying that, Isadora turned around and walked straight out of the gate.
Hundreds of people hurriedly followed closely, with either curiosity or nervous eyes, ready to see with their own eyes what the world would be like three hundred years from now.
As a result, they had just walked out of the "ant nest" and were stunned by what they saw.
On the top of a building thousands of meters high, countless rectangular vehicles were flying along the gaps between buildings at extremely fast speeds, so fast that they were even flying in the air left an afterimage.
But even so, not a single traffic accident occurred.
They don't even know whether this thing should be called a "car" or an "aircraft".
In addition, the exaggerated, sci-fi and dazzling buildings also make these "old antiques" from the past continue to exclaim.
In particular, the beasts projected by the lifelike 3D projection billboard looked just like the real thing, which shocked many people.
Bionic robots and robot pets are everywhere in the streets and alleys, violently impacting the cognitive limits of everyone present.
"Oh my God! This...is this the world three hundred years from now? Which country is this? Which city?" The first Asian to wake up covered his mouth and suppressed his emotions. Emotion asked.
"Now there is no concept of country and city. There is only one legal regime on earth - the coalition government, and there is only one super city, which is the Infinite City under our feet. Finally, please allow me to represent the people of this era Say to you, welcome to the future!”
As these words blurted out, these souls who had been completely deceived by the illusory world could no longer control their excitement, crying and laughing like madmen.
But soon, a more rational old man raised a question that worried everyone.
“Now that three hundred years have passed and the world has undergone such drastic changes, what about our identities? The most important thing is that we old antiques can really adapt to a society with such advanced technology and find a job Feed yourself? ”
Instantly!
The scene that was very lively one second was so quiet the next second you could hear a pin drop.
After all, how to find a job to make money and support yourself is a huge challenge that must be faced.
“Please don’t worry about this. Our company has helped you apply for a new resident status, and we are also willing to provide you with a job.”
After going around in circles for a long time, Isa Dora finally reveals her true purpose.
Obviously, the reason she put so much effort into creating such a huge and magnificent infinite city was not to allow these souls to live and live in peace of mind, but to introduce them to the floating city in the real world and transfer their consciousness into the clone The body serves Zuo Si's plan.
"What kind of job? How much money can you earn? Is it enough to support your family?" the old man asked immediately.
Isadora smiled and replied: "Of course. In fact, the content of this job is to play games in the virtual world to make money, and then exchange the virtual currency into real-world currency.
With technology With the development of virtual reality technology, it has been realized decades ago.
It is called a second home outside the real world, and both adults and children will be immersed in it and enjoy it.
Since there is demand, there will naturally be a market.
The currency in virtual games can even be equated to real-world money to a certain extent.
Thirty years ago, the coalition government enacted the Virtual Property Protection Act and recognized that virtual property is as important as real-world property.
Now, I will take you to take a bath, eat something, and then experience this virtual reality game. What do you think? "
"We don't seem to have any other choice, right? "
The strong white man shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
In fact, he had no idea that he had inadvertently revealed the essence of the virtual world "Infinite City".
Although Isadora seems to give everyone a choice, in fact, if the souls who enter here are unwilling to accept the job she provides and instead go out to work outside, they will soon find that they will continue to encounter various kinds of things.
