700 years later

"I don't know." Dou Yu said, "I don't know whether he is stupid or I am stupid."

"You're certainly not stupid," said the pirate captain.

Is Cheng Zhang stupid?It seems to be a bit.He doesn't know anything about most science and technology, and even the switch needs Dou Yu to teach him, but on some things, he thinks further than Dou Yu.

"He may not be stupid," Dou Yu said, "He's just not familiar with the environment for the time being."

The pirate captain asked, "Did he just transfer here?"

"I guess..." Dou Yu said vaguely.

"Then let him get acquainted with it?" The other side quickly gave a suggestion.

Dou Yu felt that what the pirate captain said was always so reasonable.

After thinking about it, he couldn't wait for a moment, and ran to knock on Cheng Zhang's door again.

Not long after Cheng Zhang came back, he saw Dou Yu rushing in again.

He sighed with a headache, thinking that Dou Yu was the cat he adopted: always appearing according to his mood, and always treating all places as his own territory.

"Come on!" Dou Yu stood at the door, "I will show you the high technology of this era!"

Cheng Zhang was not unhappy, anyway, he had nothing to do, and he was bored in the theory class, so it would be good to participate in the practice and experience it for himself.

"What is this?" Cheng Zhang asked.

"You put on the equipment first." Dou Yu said, and began to choose on the screen, "Is there any place you want to go? The desert or the Grand Canyon? Or the Grand Canyon!"

He made a decision like this and pressed the OK button. Soon, another scene appeared in front of him. Cheng Zhang was next to him, and the wind was blowing from behind.

"What is this?" Cheng Zhang asked, "VR?"

"How could VR be so real?" Dou Yu was furious, grabbed Cheng Zhang's hand, and jumped off the edge of the cliff.

"Fuck!!!" Cheng Zhang was stunned, the airflow brought by the rapid descent made his face shaved and painful, and instinctively grabbed Dou Yu tightly.

"Really feel the dream." Dou Yu was very proud, "Use your brainwaves to travel through the world, which is no different from reality."

Unlike Dou Yu, Cheng Zhang became alert: "Wait, is the pain the same?"

"Of course, but it can be blocked..." Dou Yu's chatter was halfway through, when it suddenly got stuck.

Seeing that he was about to fall to the bottom, Cheng Zhang panicked: "What's wrong with you?"

"I used it before, but I forgot to set it for you." Dou Yu said.

Cheng Zhang is about to pass out, high technology, really good.

Cheng Zhang had one last question: "If I fell to my death, can I wake up?"

Before Dou Yu could speak, a system notification suddenly sounded in the wind: "To celebrate the human being's TV rating reaching 10, we are sending rewards. This dream experience will last for 48 hours."

Cheng Zhang screamed: "I killed you—"

Fortunately, Cheng Zhang did not become disabled in his dream.Dou Yu protected him the moment he fell, and at the same time paid a little price.

"Although I can't feel it," Dou Yu was very calm, "but my hand seems to be broken and I can't lift it up."

Cheng Zhang felt a little guilty, although Dou Yu was the culprit who wanted to jump off the cliff: "Where else did you get hurt?"

"I don't know," Dou Yu said, "The system will only know when it recovers the pain perception."

This is of course impossible. Cheng Zhang helped Dou Yu up, recalled the position just now, and pressed Dou Yu's upper body.

"What are you doing?" Dou Yu was a little surprised.

"Your rib is broken." Cheng Zhang said, "Don't move around, if it gets stuck in your lung later, you will die for 48 hours. Have you ever died before?"

"No." Dou Yu said, "Every time I was on the verge of death, I chose to return. I am afraid of death."

"..." Cheng Zhang had nothing to say about this man's thinking, "What are you going to do now, can you ask?"

"Yeah." Dou Yu was planning to do the same, "System! Come out! Don't pretend to be dead!"

No sound.

Dou Yu was furious: "K88!"

Now there is a quick reaction: "Don't call me this number!"

"Why did you lock us here for 48 hours?" Dou Yu asked, "It's too long!"

"What's wrong with this, it takes a lot of energy to maintain it for such a long time." K88 said, "Why should I have less numbers than that guy, even one digit less?"

"If you blow yourself up, you can reapply for a serial number." Dou Yu said, "But why do we have to consume so many resources to dream?"

"It's hard to explain," K88 said.

Dou Yu became suspicious: "You make me think there is some kind of conspiracy."

Cheng Zhang couldn't bear it anymore.

"I think I know what they want to do." Cheng Zhang interrupted the conversation between Dou Yu and K88.

"What are you doing?" Dou Yu stared, "Executed in a dream?"

"They want an exciting script," Cheng Zhang said. "They will do whatever they can to get the ratings. Just like in those love shows, the men and women that everyone likes are always assigned to the same group."

"What's so weird, why doesn't K88 talk?" Dou Yu chased and asked, "Hey, it's okay to change back to your usual dead voice."

No sound.

"He's guilty." Cheng Zhang said firmly.

"I won't let you succeed!" Dou Yu protested to the sky, "Don't manipulate me randomly!"

He stood up, turned his back to Cheng Zhang and walked away.

Cheng Zhang thought of Dou Yu's arm, and looked at Dou Yu worriedly, but Dou Yu walked with great momentum, and Cheng Zhang had no reason to stop him.With the psychological presupposition that this is not realistic, there is no need to worry about life-threatening things.

Dou Yu suddenly stopped, no longer going forward, and even backed away after raising his head and talking to the air for a while.

"What's wrong with you?" Cheng Zhang asked.

"I'm hungry." Dou Yu said, "Before, I only blocked the pain by default."

Cheng Zhang originally wanted to say that this was a dream, how could you be hungry, but his stomach obviously didn't listen to his thoughts, so he also cried out.

"Can't this be blocked?" Cheng Zhang asked Dou Yu.

Dou Yu nodded, he was also very helpless: "You are right, they really do anything for the ratings. K88 also said..."

Dou Yu paused, he seemed unable to speak.

"What did you say?" Cheng Zhang couldn't figure it out.

"He said, since you appeared, they discovered that when I get along with you, I look like a human being in the data. So, they suggested that I get in touch with you more, and said that now is the opportunity."

Cheng Zhang was silent.

Cheng Zhang said: "I think they just want to watch us sell rot."

Dou Yu tilted his head, he didn't understand what Cheng Zhang meant.But based on his experience surfing the web in the 21st century during this time, that probably isn't a good word.

"You are so dirty." Dou Yu said.

Cheng Zhang: "..."

But the hunger was real, and Dou Yu hurt his hand again, so only Cheng Zhang worked.Fortunately, there was a current not far away. Cheng Zhang jumped down, picked up two fish, removed the scales, lit a fire, and roasted the fish.

"Let's eat," Cheng Zhang said. He had already picked up a bunch and was about to eat it. Seeing that Dou Yu didn't move, he realized the problem, "No, you..."

But the way Dou Yu hung his arms was really pitiful, so he had to hand it to Dou Yu's mouth. Dou Yu bit off the meat and commented while eating: "It's too bland, and it's not roasted well."

"Yes, yes, yes." Cheng Zhang has already learned it, and he no longer argues with Dou Yu. Besides, fish without seasoning is indeed a bit unpalatable. happy hour."

"Is it the chef?" Dou Yu asked.

"That's right," Cheng Zhang thought of his parents, and he had mixed feelings, "I originally wanted me to inherit the restaurant, but I was admitted to university again, so I said I should choose a major related to cooking, but in fact, only the name is the most relevant. ..."

"Ah!" Dou Yu exclaimed suddenly.

Cheng Zhang looked at him, and there was a very familiar cat at his feet, which had already plucked off the fish that belonged to Cheng Zhang, eating it with great relish.

This cat...

Cheng Zhang lifted the back of his neck: "Why were you also transmitted?"

"No way..." Dou Yu also came over, got very close to Cheng Zhang, and looked at the cat suspiciously. It really had the same pattern and pupil color, including black eye circles.

"Is this sent for our company?" Cheng Zhang guessed.

"No." Dou Yu said, "The animal's brain can't bear it at all. It should still be playing with balls of wool in the room. And this... can also be said to be it, its copy data."

"It's also fake?" Cheng Zhang couldn't believe it, he finally understood why Dou Yu was once in doubt.The cat was still flopping about in Cheng Zhang's arms, staining Cheng Zhang's clothes with fish meat. Cheng Zhang grabbed its paw and asked, "As a robot cat, how can your shit be so stinky!"

"Meow meow." The pirate captain replied.

"I knew it," Dou Yu said with a familiar expression, "how come there are still live cats in the zoo for adoption. But they don't even build a new model to perfuse me, K88, you wait, I will take you out It was destroyed!"

"You don't have permission." K88 finally came out, "You turned off this permission yourself, and it can't be restored."

Cheng Zhang glanced at Dou Yu in surprise, but Dou Yu quickly murmured, "I can ask Cheng Zhang to shut you down!"

Of course Cheng Zhang didn't turn off K88, he ate the remaining half of Dou Yu's fish, put out the fire, and walked away with Dou Yu.

"This is the most nonsensical travel show I've ever seen." Cheng Zhang said suddenly. Not far away, the setting sun set in the forest, and the setting sun melted gold. The whole forest seemed to be on fire. Cheng Zhang thought, like the end of human beings .

The cat still ran after them with a shameless face, and meowed behind them when it couldn't catch up, which sounded very miserable.Knowing that this little bastard was not real at all, Cheng Zhang stopped.The cat was clever, and quickly climbed up his trousers and jumped onto his shoulders.

"There's a house in front." Dou Yu obviously came to this map before, and began to guide Cheng Zhang, "I can't walk anymore, let's take a rest."

Sure enough, there was a house. Cheng Zhang picked up firewood and lit it in the fireplace.Dou Yu didn't do anything, just sat on the side to keep warm, Cheng Zhang ran out again, and came back after a while with some fruits: "Let's eat some of this first."

He handed it to Dou Yu's mouth.

Dou Yu turned his head away: "Eat first, I'm not hungry right now."

Cheng Zhang didn't know why Dou Yu suddenly became polite, and looked at him suspiciously.

After a while, Dou Yu whispered, "I'm sorry, I was supposed to bring you to experience high technology, but it turned out that you were helping."

Cheng Zhang froze for a moment, he didn't expect Dou Yu to think of this.

"It's okay." Cheng Zhang stammered, "Actually, I'm quite happy. It's just...it feels like being needed for the first time since coming here."

People, of course, are Dou Yu, and only Dou Yu.

"I used to cook with my dad," Cheng Zhang said, "because I really like to see other people eat satisfying food when they are hungry. When I was in school, my classmates would borrow my notes to copy, and my roommates also Waiting for me to cook for him and go back. But here, I always think that I seem to have no value in existence."

Is it important?It seems not.But once this feeling is lost, I always feel a little empty in my heart.

"I was actually adopted. My dad told me that at that time he failed to open a restaurant and owed a lot of money. He was arguing with my mom every day. He was drinking that night when he heard someone knocking on the door. He opened the door and saw something. A newborn baby was thrown at the door. He said that if it wasn't for my appearance, he would have committed suicide after drinking that day, but when I suddenly appeared, he thought, this little child needs me, if If you don't support him, you will die." Cheng Zhang said, "People seem to need to be needed. So I think, you may also be very powerful. If it were me, there was only one person, and I couldn't hold on for so long."

The firewood in the fireplace was crackling and crackling.

"Actually not." Dou Yu said in silence, "I also need others. Or, I didn't have it before, but since you appeared, I suddenly have it."

Cheng Zhang was still standing, and Dou Yu was looking at him with his chin raised. Under the firelight, he saw Dou Yu's eyes like glass beads.

Also, on the side of his beautiful face, there is a curve that is rising crazily. K88 is here again.

"If you come out again to show me the ratings," Cheng Zhang gritted his teeth, "I will shut you down permanently if I go out."
