Chapter 153: Be Prepared
The next moment, Jiang Lan felt like his brain was in a trance, and then the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
The original spacecraft cockpit turned into a street paved with bluestone slabs.
On both sides of the street, there are buildings of different shapes, with an indescribable futuristic style.
And around him, there were crowds of people.
The crowd varied in height, weight, and skin color.
"This is the virtual universe network..."
Jiang Lan was shocked by the scene in front of him and whispered to himself.
"Hey, how about it, are you shocked?"
Babata's familiar voice sounded in Jiang Lan's ears.
"Um?"
Jiang Lan turned his head and looked at his shoulder.
Normally, when Babata communicated with him, the voice rang in his brain, but not this time.
Scanning his eyes to his shoulders, Jiang Lan saw that there was an elf the size of an adult's fist sitting on his shoulders.
This elf has horns on its head and a black robe covering its whole body. Isn't it just a smaller version of Babata?
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Lan asked in surprise.
"I am an intelligent life, so of course I can appear in the virtual universe. Didn't you see that other people also have their own elves on their shoulders?"
Jiang Lan looked at the crowd.
Just like what Babata said, there were elves of different colors sitting on the shoulders of others, but most of them looked like machines, not as vivid as Babata.
Jiang Lan glanced sideways at Babata, then closed his eyes and felt it.
Entering this virtual universe feels similar to entering the Palace of the God of War on earth.
However, although being in the God of War Palace is very real, if you look carefully, you can also tell that you are in a virtual space.
But this virtual universe is completely different.
Here, there is absolutely no difference from the real world.
If he hadn't known that he was in the virtual universe, Jiang Lan would have even thought that he was still in the real world, just in a different place.
Opening his eyes again, Jiang Lan sighed:
"Awesome!"
Babata, who was sitting on his shoulder, smiled.
"Of course, Virtual Universe Company is the largest force in the universe. And what you see now is just the tip of the iceberg in the Virtual Universe.
"Our current location is on the edge of the 'Ganwu Continent', on the 'Black Dragon Mountain Island'."
"island?"
"Yes, but even though it is an island, the area of this Black Dragon Mountain Island is larger than any planet you have ever seen. After all, anyone who enters the virtual universe network within the territory of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire will appear here. Within Black Dragon Mountain Island.
"As for the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, there are more than 8,000 galaxies. There are countless planets in these more than 8,000 galaxies, and the number of people surfing the Internet is simply incalculable."
"Awesome!"
Jiang Lan transformed into a ruthless sighing machine.
Previously, the universe was just a vague concept to him.
But now, Jiang Lan felt the vastness of the universe firsthand.
Babata's voice continued.
"The elves you saw on the shoulders of the crowd just now are their 'virtual assistants'. As long as they enter the virtual network, they will be equipped with them. The intelligence of the virtual assistant depends on the 'virtual helmet' used by the person surfing the Internet. 'Assisted optical brain', 'intelligent optical brain' or 'intelligent life'.
"The more advanced the equipment, the smarter the assistant will be. If it is the lowest level virtual helmet, it will be similar to the artificial intelligence on your earth, no different from a mentally retarded person. But an intelligent life like me, hehe..." He said , Babata grinned, looking quite proud.
Jiang Lan couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, let me introduce it to you again." Babata said: "In the virtual universe, you can teleport, chat with friends remotely, learn martial arts, trade, and play games. And the game is 100% realistic. There's nothing you can't think of, nothing you can't play.
"In short, you can think of this virtual universe as a super huge planet, where countless elites gather together. What can be done in the real world can also be done in the virtual universe. And what can be done in the real world If not, the virtual universe can do the same.”
Jiang Lan raised his eyebrows.
According to Babata, this virtual universe is really a bit outrageous.
If everything here didn't require money, I'm afraid many people would spend their entire lives in this virtual universe, escaping from reality.
After all, the real world has no advantages over this virtual universe.
While chatting with Babata, Jiang Lan walked forward along the street.
There are many shops on both sides of the street, and their signboards are all written in the universal language.
There are also many types of shops, including everything, including restaurants.
Jiang Lan asked curiously:
"Can eating in the virtual universe be fed back into reality?"
"What are you thinking? Of course you can't." Babata was a little speechless. "If the virtual universe is so powerful, why bother with the real world? Everyone is already living in the virtual universe."
He changed the topic and continued: "Although it can't fill your stomach, the food here is much more delicious than in reality. After all, the taste is simulated, and it can be simulated to best suit your appetite. of."
Jiang Lan raised his eyebrows.
"Then I have to try it."
Anyway, it will take a few days to return to Earth.
During this period, he will basically spend all of his time in the virtual universe.
It’s just a meal, so it’s not a waste of time.
After talking to Babata, Jiang Lan walked into a nearby restaurant.
The restaurant has a beautiful environment and the decoration is nothing special, except that there are no service staff and only a virtual screen for ordering.
After finding a seat and sitting down, Jiang Lan casually ordered a few dishes on the virtual ordering screen.
When the dishes were served, Jiang Lan said to Babata on his shoulder:
"By the way, help me buy a warehouse near the earth, not too close, not too far."
"What? You want to buy something?"
"I have this idea, but I haven't decided what to buy yet."
Now that I have money and the virtual universe is so convenient, I will inevitably buy some messy things in the future.
Things that can be purchased must not be sent directly to the earth.
Therefore, it is necessary to rent or buy a warehouse on other planets that are relatively close to the earth.
It’s always good to be prepared.
"Okay, let me take a look for you."
"Hard work." Jiang Lan grinned.
This is the good thing about intelligent life. You can find what you want directly through the Internet.
If he were to do it by himself, it would probably take him a while just to look for it.
"I found it. It's 23,000 light years away from the Earth. It's the Prismatic Star. There's a large warehouse there for sale, and the price is right."
