Paper lover

On the second day of the monthly ticket incident, Li Shuoxing, who had been passionate about writing all night, was still lying on the bed sleeping, and in a daze, he suddenly heard a beep from the mailbox.

He opened his eyes in a daze, glanced at the lit phone, and saw an email in English displayed on the task bar of the phone.

Something is wrong.

Li Shuoxing closed his eyes again.

I don't know which spam email it is from, and it is very cunning to use "I have read the letter you sent, I am very sorry". It is shameful...

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

He reached out, grabbed the phone, turned on the screen and took another look. After finding that the sender was really the person he thought, he suddenly jumped up, rushed into the bathroom to wash his face, and then called the villain:

"Cub, come out, there is news from the United States, and George replied to the email!"

This email from George, across the ocean, is now quietly lying in Li Shuoxing's mailbox.

Su Mingqian has already come out of the APP, he stays in the corner of the mailbox, looking at the mail with a little hesitation.

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

Su Mingqian nodded slightly.

The email unfolded on the screen, and everything written by George came into their eyes.

"I have read your letter. I am very sorry that our friend is going through a very difficult time. I am afraid that he will 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 were surprised.

Li Shuoxing was a little puzzled: "Looking at his tone, how do you feel that he has full confidence in you? Has your situation improved recently?"

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

Li Shuoxing: "Anyway, we have to confirm where your real body is before we can make any further plans."

He didn't delay any longer, and replied a concise email: "I want to see him. Please give me the address of his hospital, and I will go there now. Please also tell me his English name, thank you very much."

The email was sent, and the two waited patiently.

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

Li Shuoxing hadn't had time to be happy about successfully getting Su Mingqian's English name, but was confused by the other party's last sentence, and almost sent an emoji of a black question mark.

But at this stage, the other party is the only clue he can get in touch with, and he cannot easily offend him until it is still valuable.

Li Shuoxing stabilized and asked, "Why?"

George: "You're not eligible."

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

When the email passed through the network and entered George's sight on the other side of the ocean, a crisp sound resounded in the room.

The coffee cup in the owner's hand fell to the ground, the cup shattered, and the coffee splashed onto the bottom of his trousers, causing the man to shake his legs, but even so, George did not move his eyes from the screen.

2 minute later.

George got up suddenly, left the room in a hurry, and ran to the next door: "John—"

On the other side, Li Shuoxing waited for a long time, but 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: "Nishi, I found something in the browser, you can take a look."

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

He saw such a web page.

"Simon.S.Modeste: Simon. Modeste, born in Los Angeles, USA on February 1993, 2, is a famous neurologist. He received a Ph.D. , responsible for the research of neuronal signaling. Became a professor in 12 and engaged in daily teaching at BAFc. In 2009, he received a doctorate in computer science and at the invitation of John Howard, jointly established the 'Ash' laboratory."

He also saw a photo.

The person in that photo has exquisite and profound facial features, and is flawless in beauty, like a master who spent his whole life sculpting and tracing it with great concentration, and finally created it, and the gray pupils on that perfect face are lit by God himself.

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

The operation of the machine stopped for a time that human beings cannot feel, and the machine continued to run calmly.

Then, a bill is ingested by the electronic eye.

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

Ask: "..."

John: "Ask, why do you 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 doesn't make a sound easily, and always communicates with the outside world through text.

It explained: "You told me that machines should be responsible for their own actions and cannot be used at will to steal non-public resources."

John: "So you used electricity?"

Ask: "I used it."

John: "What do you use electricity for?"

Ask declined to answer the question.

So the second thing appeared in front of Ask Electronics.

That's still a bill.

John counted the bills in detail: "Labor fees, installation fees, some network software usage fees...Ask, you spend money in various directions, and why are you spending these? In addition, I found that an abandoned two The server from [-] was reactivated, would you like to explain this by the way?"

The facts are there.

Ask bowed his head and admitted: "I sorted out a new server and put Simon in it. I made a love app game and let Simon meet the person he likes. Running this game requires various expenses, especially It's the electricity bill..."

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

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

John marveled: "Ask, you did a great job."

He started to applaud, and under his leadership, the researchers in the lab collectively applauded Ask!

The indicator light of the machine flickered, and the green light seemed to be on for a longer time than before.

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

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

Ask: "Server rental fee? How much?"

John shyly took out the third piece of paper, which had all the billing methods on it.

The red light flashes sharply.

John said calmly again: "Money is not a big problem. Ask, as long as you let us observe Simon's activities in the server, I will waive all your fees."

Ask rebuffed straight away: "This is privacy."

John took the next best thing: "Then let me go in and see his current situation. I know you can carry two human minds now."

Ask still refused: "Based on my calculations, Simon is not suitable to meet with you at this moment, and this will not help him recover."

Negotiations have stalled.

Until George suddenly came up with an idea: "If we can't do it, how about letting the person who is with Simon go in? You don't have to show us Simon's activities, you can show us some daily activities that don't 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 exchanged glances.

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

***

The other side of the ocean.

Li Shuoxing, who has not received a reply from George for a long time, has already started to search for information about Zai Zai on the Internet.

The awards that Ah Zai has won since he was a child, the interviews with Ah Zai, the academic papers of Ah Zai... Of course, the most important thing is the photos of Ah Zai on the Internet.

There are not many photos of Ah Zai on the Internet, but if you search carefully, you can still find them.

In the process of searching, Mr. Li said that Xing was slowly obsessed with Zai Zai's photos. After 5 minutes of obsession, he suddenly woke up, searched for another 2 minutes, and became obsessed with new photos again.

Although BAFc had caused him a little psychological shadow in the past, after all, the application was unsuccessful due to various reasons...

But it is different now.

So what if I didn't go to school, I'm the man who went to this school to teach!

Li Shuoxing took a look at Zai Zai, and felt elated in his heart.

Until a banner advertisement from Lianaiba APP popped up.

Li Shuoxing casually clicked to open it, and it was densely packed in English.

What the hell.

He clicked the fork and focused on sucking the cubs.

Poking the little one, looking at the big one.

Double the pups, double the fun!

***

The free "brain wave access device" written by John and George was accompanied by a risk statement and a duty of confidentiality. A total of 30 pages of advertisements were directly rejected.

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

Neither John nor George believed it.

John wondered: "How could anyone resist the temptation to enter the virtual world one step ahead of the whole world?"

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

John agrees with this point of view.

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

Ask dutifully reminded: "Even if it is translated into Chinese, the probability of players accepting it is still only 12.3%."

***

Another message banner appeared on the phone screen.

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

This time the advertisement that popped up was finally in Chinese. He glanced at it casually, and first saw "free gift", which aroused his a little interest, but then he saw some "connector", and the rest were all kinds of He can understand each of the technical terms, but he can't understand any of them together.Looking further down, it's incredible, there are densely packed small characters, with various precautions, risk warnings and confidentiality clauses written on it.

Li Shuoxing dragged the scroll wheel for 15 seconds, but he didn't finish the remark part of this advertisement.

He cursed: "What the hell."

After finishing talking, click the fork, and say goodbye to the manual and advertisements.

***

The second feedback arrives at the lab.

This time, Ask also thoughtfully sent the video of Li Shuoxing closing the advertisement.

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

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

Embarrassment surrounds.

a long time.

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

John asked the machine: "Is there any way you can give him the brain access device?"

Ask: "Human psychology tells me that valuable things always make people care. The higher the value, the more people care. If you want to give him the access device, you must first let him know how much the thing is worth."

Ask has calculated neuroaccessor pricing.

Brain nerve access device = 18888 = courier fee + electricity fee + rental server fee + my commission

It's hard without money.

I want to make some money.

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

The machine began to operate again.
