Brainoid

By the time Qi Min picked up Qi Mi and returned home, Anton had already finished teaching the kid who was picking trouble with Qi Min and had prepared a meal.

At the dinner table, Qi Min complained casually: "Oh, the Third Ring Road is still so congested during the evening rush hour, and the brain-like body can't solve many traffic problems."

She originally thought that with the brain-like body platform, many people could switch to working online, and not so many people would need to drive to and from get off work. But now it seems that even if some work units have indeed moved to the virtual world, it is still too early for the remaining work that involves the physical field to be transferred to brain-like bodies.

After all, all virtual entities in the brain-like body need constructors to create them, and the secrets about those entities cannot be leaked to the brain-like body company by those units. Although the brain-like body company has no intention of making illegal money, there is no guarantee that the individual architect will not leak secrets again.

Moreover, changes in production relations lag behind the economic foundation. Even if some jobs are more convenient to do in a brain-like body, whether to move to a brain-like body must also consider many aspects, including the boss's personal wishes.

"How about Mimi take the subway from now on?" Anton suggested. Beijing’s subway system is really super convenient, especially since the villa they bought after the brain-like body company made a profit is right next to the starting station of a suburban line. Even if you have difficulty with your legs and feet, it won’t be a big deal if there are seats on the subway.

However, these words sounded particularly unpleasant to Qi Mi. With her background, wouldn't it be too shameful to take the subway? It would be too much to let her be buried among ordinary people.

"I won't go." Qi Mi retorted with a brief refusal.

Qi Min looked at her daughter and felt that the little girl was getting more and more arrogant. She felt that she should explain to Mimi that it wasn't that they didn't want to send her to and from school, but just that traffic jams were a waste of time. It takes an hour and a half to drive from the suburbs to the city to go to school in the morning, but it only takes an hour by subway, so taking the subway can save half an hour of sleeping time. If Qi Min herself had to choose, she would definitely choose to sleep. Moreover, the subway has full Internet coverage, which should be somewhat attractive to Mimi who cannot connect to the brain-like body.

But before she could think of what to say, Anton immediately regretted it and said, "Forget it. Yes, the subway is crowded during rush hours, so why bother."

Hearing this, Qi Mi couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart. He said all the good and bad things by himself, what else could he do?

By the way, is he trying to gain favor with her mother? After all these years, do you still need to gain this favor? Qi Mi silently thought that her mother's usual leisure and entertainment was the brain-like body, and she did not look like a super-high-net-worth CTO of a large monopoly company. This was different from the literary works she read. But Qi Mi believes that in Qi Min's position, it is impossible to be completely free of temptations around him. Even as a legal spouse, it is still necessary to consolidate your status.

Qi Min obviously didn't know what her daughter was thinking. If she didn't take the subway, she wouldn't take it. Anyway, she wasn't the one who usually took the bus to and from school. If driving, Mimi would have to go out at 6:30 in the morning, so the little girl would have to get up at 6 o'clock, and Anton would have to start making breakfast at 5 o'clock.

In Qi Min's opinion, this was simply torture. She was ashamed to say that she had never gotten up before six o'clock for more than three days in a row in all these years. Usually, Anton had already sent Mimi out and she just woke up and then got up slowly to have breakfast. By the time she was ready to put on the brain-like body and start working, it was already nine o'clock.

However, since Qi Min started working, Anton could still have time to catch up on his sleep, so her guilt was slightly reduced. Before, Qi Min thought about opening a restaurant and letting Anton work as the head chef, but the reality was that just picking up and dropping off Mimi, cooking and cleaning the house every day was already very time-consuming, and it seemed a bit cruel to ask him to work again.

Anyway, there is no shortage of money now, so there is really no use in working so hard. But she did fulfill her promise to install a modern, high-end kitchen for Anton in the villa where they lived. This is why they don't live in the city, instead of buying villas in the suburbs - how can such renovations be allowed in urban apartments.

——

After dinner, Qi Mi returned to her room to do her homework, while Qi Min sat on the sofa again, but was not in a hurry to return to the brain-like body.

Turning on the TV and watching the increasingly declining quality of TV programs, Qi Min suddenly said to Anton with some boredom: "Hey, it seems like we haven't had one for a long time... Well, it's indescribable."

Anton was stunned for a moment: "Huh? It wasn't just yesterday..."

He was referring to doing that indescribable thing in a brainoid. Because he is lazy, Qi Min always likes to do this kind of thing in the brain-like body.

Now ordinary players can only open one identity in the brain-like body, but before the early commercialization of brain-like bodies, people who entered the brain-like body basically had another initial identity. Qi Min is currently using the newly generated "Autumn Harvest" when playing the game. The set appearance of "Autumn Harvest" is male; her initial identity was generated based on her self-perception when she first entered the brain-like body. image of.

There is no doubt that she used the same initial identity as Anton in the brain-like body when she was indescribable, and Anton naturally also used the initial identity he generated back then. The virtual body that has been used for so many years has not changed at all. Although it is pleasant, it is also a bit divorced from reality.

"Would you like to do it in reality?" Qi Min suggested.

In the brain-like body, she initially proposed it, mainly because of the beauty control. She felt that Anton's appearance was already at its peak at that time, so it was very worthwhile to freeze time to that moment. But after a few years, I discovered that Anton's appearance has not declined much, and the slight changes are still surprising. She thought it would be nice if she could store a few more sets of appearance data, but it was really inconvenient to explain it clearly for this purpose.

"In reality... it's okay." Anton hesitated but agreed. There is no difference between the feeling in the brain and reality. He just feels that it is not good to do such a thing when his daughter is at home.

Qi Min carefully observed his appearance with appreciation. Compared to his twenty-five-year-old appearance that is forever preserved in the brain-like body, the thirty-three-year-old Anton in reality is indeed not as youthful as before. But what is surprising is that after losing part of the collagen, his eyes appear larger and gentler, making the entire face look more gentle and peaceful - it makes people want to see such a face reveal. Opposite expression.

After having this thought, Qi Min couldn't help but quickly reflect on himself. She is really blind, she still wants to play those tricks at this age. If this was spread out by anyone, it would be a real loss of face - so the tricksters should just play in the brain-like body, the real world is a little simpler.

"See you in the study later?" Qi Min suggested.

"Well, see you in the study." Anton nodded, preparing to marinate the fish for tomorrow.
