Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 604

If you know some things, you can’t pretend you don’t know them, and if you know some things, you must deal with them, and Lannuo and others are still figuring out one similar thing after another. The Eternal Star Field is far from being as prosperous as it seems on the surface. , on the contrary, because people in this world are more secular, and their pursuit of immortality lacks purity, it has caused even more disastrous consequences.

Shimo Xinghai, here is one of the many galaxies revolving around the eternal ancient star. It is a galaxy similar to the solar system consisting of a star and multiple planets.

Lan Nuo also descended here, inspecting the people's livelihood here, this time he no longer descended with nothing, but learned how they look for people whose lives are about to come to an end every time, and then secretly followed them, in their At the moment of natural death, they are replaced.

In the past, this kind of thing required evolution space to help them do it. Now, they can do this kind of thing by themselves, and even when they choose their own targets, the effect is much better.

This time he chose an ordinary office worker, of course not the one who likes to watch the Mona Lisa, but a really ordinary type, living in a rented house, going out early and returning late every day, his own occupation It is a designer assistant. According to Lan Nuo's investigation of him and reading of his superficial thinking, it can be known that this person studied design in school in his early years.

But after entering the workplace, he could only exist as a designer assistant for many years, working very hard, but judging from his current living conditions, he didn't save much money.

This is actually a normal state of many ordinary office workers.According to Lan Nuo's calculations, the wealth they have obtained should not be too small in theory. In fact, if they can work normally for about ten years, it will be enough to pay for a house in a relatively prosperous area of ​​the city. down payment.

Although this kind of pressure is not small, in theory, it should not make this group of office workers look so miserable. After asking about the specific situation, Lan Nuo found such a person who was in extremely poor health and could be at any time. The individual who died suddenly replaced his identity after his death.

The name of the body that Lan Nuo is using now is Wang De. He is 28 years old, but he looks like he is almost forty. The top of his head is already bald, and this body itself also has many diseases.

After taking possession of this body, Lan Nuo also roughly understood what happened?He discovered that the spine of this body is not natural, but an artificial cervical spine, and the quality of this artificial cervical spine, how to say...

The quality of this artificial spine is very poor, and it is not that kind of inferior product, but it is specially manufactured to look like this.

In fact, many industrial products will design a deadline for themselves. This design is normal, because industrial products are constantly being updated. degree of trouble.

However, with the infiltration of capital power and the deepening of marketization, this kind of design scrapping has become more and more rampant. Some things that could have been used for most of their lives are deliberately used when designing and manufacturing. The reason for the key parts that are easily damaged is also very simple. If the old ones are not broken, why should consumers replace them with new ones?

Lan Nuo found the original owner's personal computer. There are also computers on this planet. Although they do not use semiconductors, they have the same goal as the computers on the earth. In the end, it is a computer system composed of gate circuits and integrated circuits. After logging in to the network, It is also a very convenient type for information query.

Lan Nuo quickly figured out from the original owner's shopping records a few years ago, what happened before?Fortunately, I found a conversation between him and customer service.

The general development process of the matter is as follows. Wang De, who just joined the company, is still a very energetic young man. He has just graduated and is full of hope and enthusiasm for his future.

But after he joined the company, he found that his colleagues were more motivated than himself, and the boss admired the wolf culture. The one who can compete the most and the one who rolls the hardest will be promoted.

And he found that no matter how hard he tried, he always seemed to be inferior to his colleagues in terms of competition. No matter how hard he tried, his colleagues always did better than him, and they were more able to persist in their jobs. Their perverted boss likes this straight sitting posture, thinking that it means that the employees are more awake.

At that time, he didn't know that the boss of the company actually had a cooperation agreement with the artificial spine company secretly. Among the employees, after installing artificial spines, he could get a considerable dividend.

Wang De could only rely on his body as much as possible and maintain that posture, but over time, working for more than fourteen hours a day still made his body a little bit unbearable.

He cautiously tried to search for what to do for back pain. In this era, searching for diseases on the Internet is a very dangerous thing. Facts have proved that he did not escape the capture of big data in the end. The day after he finished searching , his personal computer was filled with advertisements for artificial spines.

These are all included with the software he uses, and in this era, there are no software without advertisements. Removing the advertisements of the software without permission will be regarded as a serious infringement, and the fine is enough to put Wang De Lost to the point of bankruptcy.

As for saying that rich people don't want to see advertisements?Just block it directly. The money for blocking advertisements may be very expensive for workers, but it doesn’t matter to them at all. As for practitioners, as long as they reach the secret realm of the Dao Palace, they can be free of advertisements for life, and they are even protected by law. No app should serve ads to them without their permission.

In such an environment, Wang De endured the harassment of advertisements and the deterioration of his body every day. In the end, he had to choose to undergo surgery and replace his spine amidst the repeated advertisements and the severe warnings from the boss. .

That price has almost made him bankrupt, but even if he did all this, he failed to get promoted. The one who was promoted was a colleague sitting next to him, and the boss told everyone: "You are not wolf enough to know him Why was he promoted? He replaced the artificial stomach bag, he didn’t need to eat, he only needed to inject nutrient solution into the stomach bag, and he didn’t need to go to the toilet.

Nowadays, the culture of paid shit in the company is getting worse and worse. We must put an end to this culture. In order to limit the behavior of paid shit, I announce that the time for each person to go to the toilet every day will not exceed 10 minutes, and every time it exceeds 1 minute, It will be deducted from your salary accordingly. "

So, after the artificial spine, Wang De had to start saving money for an artificial stomach. He believed that as long as he could get promoted and raise his salary, everything would be fine. At that time, his salary would no longer be beyond his means, and at least he could save it. Some, you can slowly start to improve your living conditions.

It is precisely this goal that makes him work harder and harder at work, but this society has already arranged the fate for these ordinary people, and every time it can interrupt their accumulation of wealth, so that they have no way to jump out of society to save themselves. What is it like to see the higher sky in the frame that was built?
In five years of working in cramped bathroom cubicle-sized cubicles, he broke his artificial spine eight times, each repair costing him almost exactly the little money he had just saved.

After each repair, due to the lack of wealth, part of the authority of the artificial spine will be closed. Just after the last repair, the pain relief function of the artificial spine will also be closed.

He has returned to the way he suffered from back pain after doing it for a while, and this time, if he wants to shield this piercing low back pain, he must either watch an extremely lengthy advertisement, or pay to experience the pain relief function for a period of time.

And every time he is forced to endure, maybe as long as he survives this period, the pain may not be so painful in the future, and if he survives this period, he can save some money.

That's how it was, constantly consuming the little remaining life of this body, and finally died suddenly and silently during an overtime work.

After reading all this, Lan Nuo felt a rare fear deep in his heart. If he was still the ordinary person he used to be, if he fell into such a trap, would it be possible to climb out?

If it is the current him, who has lost all special abilities, including higher thinking speed, and has also fallen into the situation in front of him, can he break free?Maybe, but I'm afraid it will be difficult.

From Wang De's body, we can see that the traps of this society are already extremely sinister, but this society's malice towards these screw-like existences is always more profound than Wang De's experience.

Even those employees who were successfully promoted and raised their salaries and reached higher positions did not get any good endings in the end. In their later years, they will gradually find that artificial organs are not as good as their original organs after all. After gradually aging, the damage caused by the operation of these organs to their own bodies will gradually be reflected, and they need to pay a greater price than before to replace these artificial organs with the original fresh ones.

And these are actually reconnected with those underground black markets. These elderly individuals who have gained a little wealth accumulation are actually big consumers of organs in the black market, but in their view, the sources of these organs are all It is legal and has been whitewashed.

No one knows how many of them are the scarred organs replaced by the former office workers, how many of them are the ones who have a lot of debts, can't pay them off, and were captured by human traffickers in the dark corners, and drained their last value. batch of people.

As for how people persist in such a high-tech, low-living cyberpunk society?Lan Nuo also found the answer in that work, very much in Bobpunk's solution, which is the neural connection game. The reality is too cruel, and people often come to the virtual world to escape.

And in the virtual world, there are indeed many joys that cannot be realized in reality. At least they can use the cheapest means to experience content that they will never be able to experience in reality.

For example, high-end food, comfortable living environment, bloody and exciting game content, or a considerate, gentle and capable partner of the opposite sex. Although everyone knows this is fake, but they will not consciously forget this when getting along. .

In order to create such a realistic illusion, a large amount of hallucinogenic drugs and hormonal drugs will be used during the neural connection game, which is actually quite damaging to the human body.

Of course, there is a harmless version of this technique, but it's not something these migrant workers can afford.

In such a world of cyber science fiction, in addition to these relatively formal traps, life is also full of other traps that may make people irreversible. After taking addictive drugs, once you try it, it is basically impossible to get rid of it, and you can only fall into the abyss step by step in the end.

Lan Nuo turned off the personal computer of the owner of this body, which was full of advertisements, and did not overly repair the body, but only restored it from the edge of sudden death to the point where it could barely be used normally.

Lan Nuo wanted to see if he could revitalize this account that had been discarded by playing with his own ability.

To be honest, even he doesn't have the confidence. For Lan Nuo, this kind of opening is really a high-end game.

And this is also a verification, if even his will can't save these people who are in the abyss, then it can really be said that it is not these people who are wrong, but this world.

During the next period of manipulating this body, Lan Nuo will inject part of his autonomous consciousness into this body, and block out the extra knowledge, only grasp the knowledge of the body itself, and try to see if he can use it in such a body. Change your own destiny under the society.

……

"This feeling of ignorance is so uncomfortable, um... My current body can still function stably for about three months. During these three months, my waist will hurt more and more, but this is for me. It should be tolerable, but after three months, this kind of pain will cause continuous damage to the nerves. This kind of damage cannot be solved by will alone, and the damaged part must be replaced.

So now I need to save a certain amount of money, and I can't leave my current stable job, otherwise..." Lan Nuo has already learned from other selves. There will be no relief after falling from the social class. It will only be a more miserable hell.
