"Are you saying that human beings are addicted to spiritual drugs, and the source of the addiction is the metaverse?"As an alien, Yunxi doesn't know much about the situation on Earth.

"It's not just because of the metaverse, it's also caused by some terrible ideas and concepts, which are deeply ingrained and difficult to get rid of.……", then the lens flashed and said:"Actually, the metaverse is quite useful, but in their hands it has become a tool for oppression and exploitation."

The man with glasses was silent for a while sadly and said:"It is a tool for human beings to indulge in the virtual world to satisfy their desires. The most important thing is that if their technology is not advanced enough to support the operation of the metaverse, the price will be the destruction of the entire planet! I have to find a way……"

"Xingchen, let’s have a bowl of noodles first. Come on, think about it while you eat!"The purpose of Yunxi's return to Earth Star this time is to ensure Yihua's safety. The mission planning of protecting Earth Star is left to the bespectacled man Xingchen. On the other hand, Yihua has returned to the villa where she stayed. The owner is her father's best friend during his lifetime. Aunt Mia, in return, was responsible for the cleaning inside and outside the villa and the replacement of the nutrient solution of the Yuanverse Connection Nest.

As soon as she entered the door and took away the protective umbrella, she heard Aunt Mia's son and daughter-in-law arguing fiercely. Yihua could only let Crashing roars and hysterical screams impact the eardrums

"You don't work in the Yuan Universe, you just have fun, and you also gamble, and you owe 8 million gold coins in two days! Ruth scratched her hair in pain and roared:"You don't want this home anymore!" We no longer have gold coins to live in the metaverse"

"I didn’t know that the gambling game was so deceptive. I just sold that acre of vacant land in the Yuan Universe! Is it necessary to yell so loudly?!"Lu Mu was also very upset. In order to ease the atmosphere, he admitted his mistake in a low voice:"There is a connecting nest at home, so you don't need to rent it. You only need to buy nutrient solution. At worst, I will work around the clock to earn back the gold coins!"

"We didn't have to work so hard originally, but now we have nothing!"Ruth couldn't imagine the life of having to work as a coolie in the Yuan Universe all the time. She broke down and cried.

Lumu felt a little distressed and knelt down to comfort him:"Why don't we stop going to the Yuan Universe and use the money from selling the land to take advantage of this period of time? Gave birth to a child? You are not too young, and if you miss it, you won’t be able to give birth.

Ruth said coldly:"Do you still have money to buy one more connection nest?"! If she were born, would you be responsible for raising her in reality until she could have a port installed in her spine?!"

"If there is no connection nest, the worst possible outcome is not going to the Yuan Universe! Our family of three is living in reality!"Lu Mu has suffered a casino scam and has no good impression of the Yuan Universe and no longer wants to live in the virtual world.

"You can stand real life, but I can't! It's dark outside, the air is poisonous, there aren't even any green plants to be seen, and what we eat is synthetic food that tastes like chewing wax. Without anti-aging nutrients, if you are invaded by toxins in the air, you will age quickly! Look at Yihua as an example. She is only 40 years old and has gray hair!"Ruth pointed to Yihua who was collecting her protective umbrella at the door on the first floor.

"I can't stand this little bit of pain, I shouldn't have chosen you in the first place!"Lu Mu was so angry that he spoke indiscriminately.

"Yes, you should have chosen Yihua in the first place! She can endure hardship and help you give birth to a baby!"Ruth became jealous of what happened 8 years ago.

Seeing that the two of them were arguing too much and involving herself, Yihua hurriedly hid in the room, thinking: Please, it's none of my business! At the beginning, you disliked my father's bankruptcy and the family I have nothing, so it’s the right thing not to choose me. It just so happens that I don’t want to get involved with this lazy playboy. Otherwise, now that the real world has moved into the metaverse, I will be the one who is bankrupt and in debt. It’s better to be single, so that one person can feed the whole family. Not hungry

"I'm furious!"Lu Mu saw that Ruth was getting more noisy and chattering incessantly, so he held up a protective umbrella and slammed the door and went out. He opened the dust cover on the bed and threw himself on the soft bed that he had not seen for a long time. Yihua began to reminisce about the food he tasted at the noodle soup restaurant.

His eyes were bleary. Staring at the string of wind chimes hanging on the wall, her mind went back to her 31st birthday: She once made noodle soup for a child she picked up, the kind she ate tonight. After raising him for more than a year, he He made a special string of wind chimes for her. He also said that when the crystal in the center of the wind chimes shines, it means that he is nearby, but one day he left a farewell letter and disappeared, and the crystal stopped lighting up from then on. I vaguely remember the child's His name is Xiao Xi, I wonder if he is still safe now...

After many days of fatigue, Yihua fell into a deep sleep, and the crystal in the middle of the string of wind chimes actually lit up. Yunxi stood beside the bed, guarding her obsessively.

Since then, In addition to working for Aunt Mia, Yihua would either read books or draw design drawings. During this period, she would check on Aunt Mia and her son and daughter-in-law from time to time in the connection nest, and found that Lumu had not returned home for 11 consecutive days..

She was very worried and connected to Aunt Mia and Ruth in the metaverse by phone, telling them that Lumu was not in the connection nest.

But the two of them didn't take it seriously and said that he must have gone to his brother's house to play. A few days later, The sky will come back, and Yihua is relieved.

In order to fulfill the contract, she rented a flying car for the first time on the morning of the 27th. Firstly, the place she wanted to go was too far, and secondly, she considered that she could earn enough fare on the same day.

Taking a flying car can be Looking down at the scenery on the ground, Yihua put her face close to the car window, and could see the tall oval Dimension Universe Server Operation Center in the distance, which was as tall as a giant mountain. It was dark red and translucent, with cable ducts extending into the ground winding around it. , like a cancer greedily absorbing the nutrients of the earth star.

The speeding car passed through industrial areas, residential areas, slums and refugee camps. From a height, Yihua saw smoke-filled chimneys, deserted and barren land, abandoned glass and iron sheets A patchwork of slums and refugee shacks made of rubble and mud

"Hey, are you going to Bai Shiling's house? Go for what?"The speed driver was very curious about how a little old lady from a civilian area could afford to be a guest at the richest man's home.

"Went to work doing makeup for his daughter's character in the Metaverse."Yihua said calmly, although her father's bankruptcy is probably inseparable from Bai Shilling, it is very difficult for her to survive now, and she can't even think about finding out the truth and taking revenge.

"oh!"The driver got the answer he wanted.

After more than three hours of flight, the flying car landed in the parking lot of a huge square living area covered by fiberglass.

As soon as he got off the flying car, Yihua was attracted by the lush vegetation around him and greedily Breathing the air with the fragrance of fresh flowers and plants in the venue.

She was quickly found by staff member No. 115 sent by Bai Xiaoshuang, and got into the electric limousine heading to Bai Mansion.

"No need for umbrellas in this living area!"Staff No. 115 looked at the protective umbrella in her hand with disgust.

"Oh, it's out of the way!"Yihua held the umbrella tightly for fear that it would be thrown away as rubbish. She thought to herself: This is what I use to save my life outside. Unless there is a safe safe to store it, the umbrella will never leave my body. Not to mention that this is the weird alien. The sealing fee was given, and it was the most advanced anti-corrosion version, so she couldn’t lose it!

Wherever the luxury car passed, there were flowers and beautiful scenery. Yihua watched it selflessly from the car window, wishing she could describe all of it. Seriously, it’s been too long since she’s seen flowers.

"Do you like it here? But to stay here, you have to work here."Staff No. 115 observed the words and said:"If you want to work here, you must pass a severe test."

"Does this entire living area belong to the Bai family? How many staff are there? How severe is the test?"Yihua was a little moved. The environment here is much better than the outside world.

"Yes, everything here belongs to the owner. There are 20,000 people serving the master. I heard that the test is different every time, but those who have passed the test are unwilling to mention it again."Staff No. 115 frowned as if he was thinking of something uncomfortable.

"Well? Such a strange test? There are 20,000 people, and there are artificial intelligence robots everywhere now. Why doesn't he use human power instead?"Yihua asked curiously, thinking: Is this old man abusing people through tests? He has to call him master when working here. It's so disrespectful. I would rather go back to Aunt Mia's house. She took me in at the beginning, even though she didn't care about food or drink. , but never interfered with my freedom.

Staff No. 115 smiled well-trainedly:"The master is closer to humans, and he is providing us with high-quality jobs.""

"oh?"Yihua said indifferently. She didn't believe that Old Man Bai would be so kind.

"There are all kinds of living facilities here, including farms, vegetable gardens, orchards, medicine gardens, fisheries, cinemas, opera houses, gymnasiums, libraries, restaurants, etc. Our employees’ canteens are all made with fresh ingredients. Today’s meals A meal costs hundreds of thousands of gold coins. The owner is really kind to us and we are very contented. No matter how miserable our previous life was, with the current treatment, everything is worth it!"Staff No. 115 expressed gratitude to Bai Shiling

"Yes, you are living well now!"Yihua was a little envious, but then she thought about it; ten years ago, not everyone could obtain all this, but now she has to be a maid to be given alms. The luxury car stopped in front of a tall building, No. 115 said:"Get off the car and find an employee to connect to the nest and enter the Yuan Universe. Then go to this coordinate to find Miss Bai. They will wait for you in the banquet hall."

Yihua got off the car and walked into the high-rise building. She looked around curiously. Sure enough, there was no robot. So she asked the staff:"Are there any empty employees connecting to the nest? I am the decorator appointed by Miss Bai."

After checking it, employee No. 1168 said:"Welcome, Miss Bai has reserved a two-day share of Connection Nest for you, please follow me."

Being brought into a comfortable suite with a bathroom, Yihua took a shower in surprise. You must know that clean water is a rare resource. You can only drink one cup a day. You can only use a wet towel with disinfectant powder to scrub in the shower. , I was able to take a hot bath today

"So comfortable!"In order to spend more time under the shower, Yihua decided to leave the banquet early the next day and go out to take a bath in the Connection Nest.

After drying off, she soaked in the advanced nutrient solution of the Connection Nest. She immediately felt that her skin was nourished, and she had already seen it. The speed became smoother, and she wanted to stay in the nutrient solution for a while longer.

Entering the Yuan Universe with a dilemma, Yihua discovered that this connection nest has its own body-beautifying function. The originally beautiful painter character was blessed with beauty. The beautiful girl looked forward to it. After admiring herself in front of the mirror, she sighed:"No wonder people work hard to make money. It turns out that becoming beautiful feels so good."

After applying for tools as a decorator, Yihua teleported herself to the banquet hall on the coordinates and saw Bai Xiaoshuang who was chatting and laughing with the guests.

"Hi, Painter Yi is here. You have something to eat first. I'll find you later."Bai Xiaoshuang turned around and said hello.

"OK!"Yihua wandered to the dining area, got a glass of juice, and ate a small cream cake.

The long-lost mango flavor and the smoothness of the cream made her energetic. She tried many pastries one after another, enjoying so many delicious foods without fear of getting fat. , because this is in the Yuan Universe.

She began to become attached to the food there, and even suspected that Bai Xiaoshuang wanted to lure her to become a slave of Bai Mansion by letting her come to Bai Mansion.

"Hey, Painter Yi, are you here too?!"

A hand slapped her shoulder hard, causing her to almost choke on the cake, and a big lump of cream stuck to her face.
