Paper Lover

On the second day of the monthly ticket incident, Li Shuoxing, who was passionate about the whole night, was still sleeping on the bed. In a daze, he suddenly heard a drop in the mailbox.

He opened his eyes in a daze, glanced at the lit phone, and saw an email in English displayed on the phone's taskbar.

There is something wrong.

Li Shuoxing closed his eyes again.

I don’t know which spam email was sent, and I used “I’ve read the letter you sent me, I’m very sorry.” It’s a shameful appetite...

Two seconds later, Li Shuoxing suddenly opened his eyes again.

He took a long hand, grabbed the phone, turned on the screen, and took another look. After finding that the sender was the person he wanted, he jumped up, rushed into the bathroom and washed his face, and then called the villain:

"Baby, come out soon, there is news from the US, George has responded to the email!"

This mail from George, which has crossed the ocean, is now lying quietly in Li Shuoxing's mailbox.

Su Mingqian had already come out of the app. He stayed in the corner of the mailbox and looked at the mail with a slight hesitation.

Li Shuoxing could understand Su Mingqian's feelings. He waited for a few minutes, guessing that Zai Zai's mood was almost stable, and then said, "Cub, can you click on it?"

Su Mingqian nodded slightly.

The email unfolded on the screen, and all the contents of George's writing came into the eyes of the two.

"I have read the letter you sent. It is a pity that our friend is going through a very difficult time now. He may not be able to contact you in a short time. But please believe that he will eventually get through this difficult time. Goodbye to you."

After reading the email, both of them felt surprised.

Li Shuoxing is a little puzzled: "Looking at his tone, how do you feel that he is confident that you can regain it? Has your situation improved recently?"

Su Mingqian thought: "Perhaps. Last time I was able to generate fragmented memories through keywords."

Li Shuoxing: "Anyway, we have to determine where your actual body is before we can make the next step."

He did not delay any more and replied a brief and concise email to the other person: "I want to see him. Please give me the address of his hospital and I will go now. Please also tell me his English name, thank you very much."

The email was sent, and the two waited patiently.

For a moment, a new email came in, and George responded quickly and unexpectedly: "Simon. S. Modeste, this is his English name. But sorry, I can't tell him where he is now."

Before Li Shuoxing was happy to get Su Mingqian's English name smoothly, he was confused by the other party's last sentence and almost sent an emoticon with a black question mark.

But at this stage, the other party is the only clue he can contact, and before it has value, he cannot easily offend him.

Li said that Xing was stable and asked: "Why?"

George: "You are not qualified."

Li Shuoxing typed calmly and politely: "I don't quite understand what you mean by qualification. Are you trying to say that my relationship with him is not close enough to visit him? I think you have some misunderstanding. Although he didn't mention me to you. But my relationship with him is really extraordinary. I know many things about him. I know you, John, and Ask."

When this email crossed the Internet and entered the sight of George on the other side of the ocean, there was a crisp sound in the room.

The coffee cup in the owner's hand fell to the ground, the cup broke, the coffee splashed on the trousers, and the man was throwing his legs again and again, but even so, George did not move his eyes to the screen.

Two minutes later.

George stood up suddenly, hurriedly left the room, and ran to the next door: "John—"

On the other side, Li said that Xing waited for a long time, and did not wait for George's response.

He was a little anxious, not sure if he should send another email to remind him.

At this time, his screen was knocked by the villain.

Su Mingqian said: "Ximu, I found something in the browser, you can check it out."

Li Shuoxing temporarily quit the email and switched to the browser.

He saw such a web page.

"Simon. S. Modeste: Simon Modeste, born on February 12, 1993 in Los Angeles, USA, a well-known neuroscientist, received a doctorate in biology from BAFc University in 2009, and joined the Howard laboratory in the same year to participate in the human brain Plan, responsible for the research of neuron signal direction. Became a professor in 2011 and engaged in daily teaching at BAFc. In 2013, he received a Ph.D. in computer science and was invited by John Howard to jointly set up the'ashwood' laboratory."

He also saw a photo.

The person in that photo has delicate and profound features and flawless beauty. It is like a master who spends his entire life, carve and trace it, and finally create it, while the gray pupils on that perfect face are lit by God himself.

In the huge constant temperature space, the silver-white machine was running programs. Suddenly, the closed door opened, and a group of researchers entered from the door and surrounded the machine.

The operation of the machine stopped for the time that humans could not feel, and the machine continued to operate calmly.

Then, a bill was taken by the electronic eye.

John holding the bill is a silver-haired, vigorous old man. He smiled and said, "Ask, I found out that you have been paying electricity bills with us for the past two months."

Ask: "..."

John: "Ask, why do you want to pay the electricity bill with us? Don't you think it's strange that you, as a machine, pay the electricity bill with us?"

A line of text appears on the screen.

Ask can speak, but it does not speak easily, and always communicates with the outside world through words.

It explained: "You told me that machines are responsible for their actions and cannot use them to steal non-public resources at will."

John: "So you used electricity?"

Ask: "I used it."

John: "What do you use electricity for?"

Ask declined to answer this question.

So the second thing appeared in front of Ask Electronics.

That's still a bill.

John counted the bill: "Labor fees, installation fees, some network software usage fees...Ask, you spend a lot of money in various directions, why do you spend these? In addition, I found that one was abandoned in the laboratory. The server in 2012 was reactivated. Would you like to explain this incident by the way?"

The facts are there.

Ask lowered his head and admitted: "I put together a new server and put Simon in it. I made a love APP game to let Simon meet the people he likes. Running this game requires various expenses, especially It’s the electricity bill..."

John is curious: "Where did your money come from? Is it deducted from Simon's account?"

Ask: "The basic maintenance fee is obtained from the player through the game Krypton."

John exclaimed, "Ask, you did a great job."

He began to applaud. Under his leadership, the researchers in the laboratory collectively applauded Ask!

The machine's indicator light flashed, and the green light seemed to be on longer than before.

John said: "But Ask, since you use the lab's electricity and the lab's servers, when you pay the electricity bill next month, don't forget to also pay the server rental fee."

The green light suddenly went out and the red light began to flash.

Ask: "Server rental fee? How much?"

John Shi Shiran took out the third piece of paper, which had all the billing methods.

The red light flashes sharply.

John Shi Shiran said: "Money is not a big problem. Ask, as long as you can let us observe Simon's activities on the server, I will exempt you from all expenses."

Ask refused: "This is privacy."

John stepped back: "Then let me go in and see his current situation, I know you can carry the minds of two humans now."

Ask still refused: "From the results of my calculations, Simon is not in a contract with you to meet at this moment. This will not help him recover."

The negotiations have reached a deadlock.

Until George suddenly put forward an idea: "If we can't, let the person with Simon go in, how about? You don't need to show Simon's activities to us. You can show us some daily activities that do not involve this person's privacy. Research." He added, "I think the other party also wants to be in the same space with Simon, and this will also help Simon's recovery."

The machine analyzed George's proposal and the green light resumed blinking.

Ask: "But I don't have a brain access device."

John and George looked at each other.

John announced: "We can send the access device directly to the other party so that the other party can enter the virtual world and meet Simon."

***

The other side of the ocean.

Li Shuoxing, who hasn't received George's reply for a long time, has already started searching for related information on the Internet.

The awards that Azai has won since childhood, the interviews of Azai, and the academic papers of Azai...Of course, the most important thing is the photos of Azai on the Internet.

There are not many photos of Azai on the Internet, but if you look for it carefully, you can still find it.

In the process of searching, Li Shuoxing searched, and slowly indulged in the photos of the cubs. After five minutes of indulging in the photos, he suddenly woke up, searched for another two minutes, and became obsessed with new photos again.

Although B.A.Fc used to give him a psychological shadow, after all, the application was unsuccessful for various reasons...

But it's different now.

What if I didn't go to school, I was the man who taught in this school!

Li Shuoxing glanced at the cubs, and he felt happy in his heart.

Until a horizontal ad from the love bar app jumped out.

Li Shuoxing clicked on it casually, and it was all in English.

What the hell.

He eased his hand and focused on sucking the cub.

Poke the little cub and look at the big cub.

Double cub, double happiness!

***

The free "brainwave access device" written by John and George was accompanied by a risk statement and confidentiality responsibility. The 30-page advertisement was directly rejected.

Ask sends the result of the player's rejection back to the laboratory in real time.

Neither John nor George believed it.

John wondered: "How could anyone resist the temptation to enter the virtual world before the world?"

George pondered for a moment: "He is Chinese, maybe he doesn't understand English, just translate English into Chinese."

John agrees with this view.

They asked Ask to translate the text from English into Chinese.

Ask dutifully reminds: "Even if translated into Chinese, the probability that players will accept it is still only 12.3%."

***

Another message banner appeared on the phone screen.

Li said Xing was a little annoyed, but he still clicked.

The ad that popped up this time was finally in Chinese. He glanced casually and saw "free gift" first, which aroused his interest, but then he saw some "access device", and the rest were all kinds of He can understand every one of the professional terms, but not one of them even together. Looking further down, it's amazing, there are dense small prints with various precautions, risk reminders and confidentiality clauses written on it.

Li said that Xingyi dragged the wheel for fifteen seconds, but he didn't finish the remarks of the ad.

He scolded: "What is it."

After talking about it, say goodbye to the advertisement manually.

***

The second feedback arrived at the laboratory.

This time, Ask also intimately sent the video of Li Shuoxing's closing of the ad.

In the video, Li Shuoxing's face was punched and his voice changed.

But that dismissive aura was still perfectly displayed in front of everyone in the laboratory.

Embarrassment enveloped everyone.

a long time.

George is a little anxious: "If he doesn't sign a non-disclosure agreement, we can't say anything, and we can't even reply to him."

John asked the machine: "Do you have any way to give him the cranial nerve access device?"

Ask: "Human psychology tells me that valuable things always make people care about them. The higher the value, the more people care about it. To give him the access device, he must first let him know how much the item is worth."

Ask has calculated the price of the brain access device.

Cranial nerve access device = 18888 = express fee + electricity fee + rental server fee + my commission

It's hard to have no money.

I want to make some money.

I want to write a supreme sales copy to promote this supreme consumption.

The machine started computing again.
