Rebel Demon King

Chapter 1135 Utopia (7)

"Uncle Onassis."

"Oh, dear boy, Athena is boring enough, don't be so lifeless, looking at me like a stranger!" Socrates Onassis raised his hands and patted Cheng Mo's cheek affectionately , said with a smile, "At least in terms of address, call me Uncle Socrates, it's a little more friendly."

Cheng Mo felt that the old man was really good at winning people's hearts. Whether it was his tone or his actions, he could not help but feel a sense of intimacy. It was completely unlike two people who had met twice and had known each other for less than 72 hours.

"Okay, Uncle Socrates," Cheng Mo said, "I came to see you to see if you could take me into the 'Dark Dream Bar'?"

"'Black Dream Bar?' What are you doing there?" Socrates Onassis asked suspiciously.

"What's going on there? Is there a problem?"

"It used to be a robot repair shop, but someone bought it later and turned it into a bar. At first, there were all kinds of robots in it. Later, there were not only robots, but also clones modified with genetic technology. Of course It will also provide some weird services, such as dismantling, abuse, and of course the matching that everyone loves to see. In short, it is very post-modern, and in the words of you young people, it should be very cyberpunk." Socrates Onassis waved his hands and looked at Cheng Mo, "Although I don't dislike technological progress, I don't think it's cool there at all. To be honest, I don't recommend you go there to experience the worst that can happen to human beings." In the future, I don't think you will need that kind of service."

Cheng Mo suddenly remembered the RPG game called "Cyberpunk 2077" that had been a hit for a while two years ago, and also remembered the electronic matrix in the "Exclamation Point Cafe". Yes, he pondered for a while, and then said: "I can probably imagine what kind of place 'Dark Dream' is when you say it this way. In the past two years, there was a game called "Cyberpunk 2077" in the watch world that was very popular. This is the world depicted. In 2077, capitalism developed to the extreme, and the whole world was controlled by a very small number of technological oligarchy. In the city, high-rise buildings piled up one after another, but most of them were like pigeon cages. Only the very few glass buildings with neon lights are magnificent. Those towering buildings belong to the rich, while the poor at the bottom all live in those small pigeon cages that do not see sunlight all year round. They have no way to resist. Because their minds have been connected to the "matrix" controlled by the rich, as long as they have resentment, they may be killed by sudden accidents, such as a car out of control. Only the rich and some people who broke free Only the hackers controlled by the 'Matrix' can have free thought and will. I feel that 'Black Dream' is a bit like the bar in "Cyberpunk 2077", but the X idol in "Cyberpunk 2077" is a kind of Even more uncomfortable, they (they) are a group of half-robots whose minds are controlled by chips, just like humans loaded with matching service software, in order to give customers a better experience”

"Oh~! Oh~! Cheng, to be honest, I hate this kind of uninspired imagination. What is the difference between this and the real world? Isn't this the world that human beings live in now? Rich people, mansions and beauties travel around the world, The poor live in overtime video games. There is no need to be so pessimistic. The world has always been like this, and it is spiraling. Isn’t the life of the bottom people getting better and better than before? It can only be said that technology may not be able to change everyone in essence life, the world has always been indifferent, and the Utopia in the dream will never come, or it can only belong to the group of people at the top of the pyramid.”

"I don't want to discuss such a distant and grand issue in the future." Cheng Mo shrugged his shoulders, "I just think Utopia is too strange, don't you feel that there is nothing wrong with you living here for so long? "

"How should I put it? I know you want to leave here. Anyone with a perfect wife like my daughter can't bear to stay here, but it's really impossible." Socrates Onassis patted Cheng Mo's shoulder, "Child, sometimes accepting the reality that we can't accept is also a lesson in life." He blinked at Cheng Mo again, "If you really can't bear the pain of lovesickness, you can customize an Athens Na-like robot, or a clone, to be honest, I think it’s good to order a robot, originally my daughter is similar to a cold-blooded and ruthless robot, maybe the robot is more tender.”

"No, Uncle Socrates." Cheng Mo shook his head and said, "That's your misunderstanding of Athena. She is actually a very loving person, but she is not very good at expressing it."

"Really?" Socrates Onassis laughed "haha", "Since you think so, then it's the best."

"No matter what, I will not give up and leave the other world." Cheng Mo said, "So I have to enter the 'Dark Dream'."

"Hmm~~~!" Socrates Onassis said in a deep voice, "Maybe I can't bring you into the 'Dark Dream'"

Cheng Mo was not particularly disappointed, he smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll think of another way."

"Don't worry! Boy!" Socrates Onassis glanced at Cheng Mo while turning around and said, "Come with me."

Cheng Mo and Socrates Onassis walked side by side along the broad marble-paved road to the White Jade Palace, followed by two robot maids in white gauze.

"How is it? My house is much better looking than Alexei's shabby house, isn't it? To be honest, I really can't stand Alexei's country bumpkin taste. He thought it was still in the nineteenth century? All the bells and whistles The decorations are all paired with eye-catching color schemes."

In the complaints of the old man all the way, the two stepped up the steps and entered from the white pointed eaves supported by two marble columns. Walking through the gate, there is a courtyard where 12 white marble columns stand, supporting A square patio.Cheng Mo knew that this courtyard was an essential part of the standard ancient Greek architecture.

Along the central axis, you arrive at the living room. Except for individual structures such as the roof, most of the rest of the living room is made of beautiful marble.Especially the marble on the ground is as shiny as jade, and the natural patterns on the four walls are like murals, giving people a sense of mystery.As for the furniture, they are all simple wooden furniture, elegant and calm.

The entrance of the hall is directly facing a row of wooden doors. After opening, it is facing the "Swan Lake", and on both sides are lush green forests. Swaying in the breeze, it is really picturesque.

Socrates Onassis first ordered the robot maid to serve tea and prepare snacks, then told Cheng Mo to wait in the living room, and then went to another room.

Soon the robot maid brought dessert and black tea. Cheng Mo admired the complicatedly decorated living room in the living room, and enjoyed the scenery for a while, before Socrates Onassis returned to the living room.

"How about it, Cheng, is my place much better than the palace?"

"Of course." Cheng Mo sighed sincerely: "This place reminds me of the Kairilos Courtyard, and it is even more beautiful. If I had to choose, I would definitely like to live here. Although the toilets in the palace are all It's made of gold."

Socrates Onassis sneered, "Alexey, who only knows how to show off his muscles in shorts, what taste does he have?"

The father-in-law mentioned Paul XIV again, and Cheng Mo remembered that Queen Drovna's chest was still in his room, so he whispered: "Uncle Socrates, you left something with me, what do you think?" Pick it up when you have time."

"Me?" Socrates Onassis asked puzzled, "What?"

Cheng Mo didn't have the nerve to speak out, and explained in a low voice: "Queen Drovna's stuff."

Socrates Onassis suddenly realized, nodded quickly and said: "Okay! Okay! I'm getting old and my brain is not working well, and I even forgot such an important thing. When I am free, I will go and get it."

Cheng Mo nodded, "OK."

Socrates Onassis changed the subject and talked about what Cheng Mo was most concerned about, "I can't help you with the matter you want to enter the 'Dark Dream', but your mother-in-law can."

Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "Mother-in-law?"

"Yes." Socrates Onassis said, "Your mother-in-law is an expert in artificial intelligence, and she is the one who created the deep learning algorithm for the robots in Utopia. She was also the one who made the 'Black Dream' robot at the beginning." Helped with the repairs, but the development of 'Black Dream' became more and more outrageous, so she never went there. But she can definitely take you in."

"Then how do I get in touch with Ms. Delorme?"

"I've already called for you." Socrates Onassis tilted his head and said mockingly, "Although I can't go to her island, she still doesn't answer my calls."

Cheng Mo smiled and said, "The last time I went to see Paul XIV, I heard from him that he was kicked off the lake by Ms. Delorme."

Socrates Onassis laughed "haha", "This is the funniest joke I've heard this month. It's worth having two drinks in the evening, how about it, okay, when you meet your mother-in-law, come and accompany me this Does the old man have a meal?"

Cheng Mo didn't answer immediately.

Socrates Onassis added: "Your mother-in-law will not arrange dinner for you."

"Okay, Uncle Socrates, I'd be happy to save money on a meal, but I'm boring and not good at chatting."

Socrates Onassis smiled and said, "It's fine if I'm good at it. With my daughter's virtue, it's impossible to find someone who can speak well and understand people like me."

Cheng Mo smiled, "Then I'll go to Ms. Delorme now?"

Socrates Onassis nodded, "I'll ask my butler to take you to the pier, and you can go there on my boat!"

Cheng Mo bowed slightly, and said sincerely, "Thank you very much, Uncle Socrates."

"No, no child, don't be so polite." Socrates Onassis patted Cheng Mo's shoulder again, "We are a family."

A moment later, Cheng Mo followed the robot butler in a tuxedo along the stone road by the Swan Lake to a simple pier. The pier only had a short bridge made of wooden boards. On both sides of the short bridge stood bronze street lamps painted with white paint. , adding a few strands of Mediterranean flavor.A small white yacht and a speedboat were parked beside the bridge.

The robot butler, who looks like a handsome middle-aged man, asked Cheng Mo whether he wanted to take a speedboat or a yacht. Cheng Mo chose the faster speedboat, and the robot butler asked Cheng Mo to get on the boat first. He untied the rope, jumped into the boat, took out the key and started the speedboat.

With the roar of the engine, the white speedboat pulled out a water mark and headed towards the lush island in the middle of the lake.As the distance got closer and closer, Cheng Mo could gradually see the light flickering in the center of the island. He squinted his eyes in the humid and cold lake wind, and saw a glass window reflecting the sunlight through the gaps in the dense branches and leaves. The house, he thought of the island that Athena told him about when he was a child, and he guessed that this glass house might be the same as the one on the island.
It didn’t take long for Cheng Mo to look around, and the speedboat arrived at the pier of the island. The pier of the island was also very simple. There was also only a wooden bridge, and there was only a lighthouse to guide the docking and a speedboat. There was also a "private island, Non-Do Not Enter" stainless steel brand.The robot butler docked the speedboat and told Cheng Mo that he would wait for him here. Cheng Mo went ashore and walked along the gravel road towards the glass house in the center of the island.

The forest on the island is lush, and the growth of various trees is excellent, and the sunlight can hardly penetrate the thick green shade.It took Cheng Mo more than ten minutes to pass through the forest and reach the center of the island, where there is another small lake, and the glass house is in the middle of the lake.Cheng Mo glanced around, there was no bridge leading to the glass house, no boat, just a stainless steel pile at the end of the gravel road.

Cheng Mo walked to the stainless steel pile and found a stainless steel button and a honeycomb hole on it, which looked like a communication device. He pressed the stainless steel button, and a mechanical female voice rang out, asking Cheng Mo if he had an appointment. Momo answered yes, and after a while, a silver stainless steel bridge floated up from under the lake, and stretched across the lake amidst the sound of rushing water.

When the bridge was completely still, Cheng Mo grabbed the railing and walked towards the glass house in the middle of the lake
