Chapter 3105

"Don't like the taste?" Lynch was still cutting the steak. Now the entire Earth was not short of supplies.

Whereas before people were unwilling to eat the sticky foods that provided the basis for their survival, now they are willing to accept them.

The only difference is that they no longer have to eat. Instead, nutrients will be directly infused into their bodies through life support devices, keeping their body functions unaffected.

In this way, the demand for food on the entire Earth is gradually decreasing, so that there is now surplus supplies to be transported to Green Star.

In addition, since all tastes and flavors can be simulated in "New World", people are dining less and less in reality and are becoming more and more addicted to a virtual world.

Connor didn't deny it. He shrugged and said, "There are reasons for this."

"Do you know that in the New World there is a life profession called 'Magic Chef'?"

Lynch shook his head, and Connor immediately became interested. "Their ability is to make food sparkle. The higher the level of the magic chef, the more amazing the dishes they cook!"

"There is a ninth-level magic chef in the Imperial Court. I paid him to cook a meal for me. Did you know?"

"The moment I put the food he made in my mouth and started to reject it, my emotions started to surge uncontrollably."

"I actually...soiled my pants several times!"

"It's so magical that it's like it doesn't exist..." Connor suddenly stopped talking here, and even his excited expression and emotions suddenly froze at this moment!
Because he realized that those things did not exist, and only here, now, by the table, was the real world.

Everything he experienced in the "New World" was just virtual and unreal.

Lynch could see the situation he was facing and didn't think there was anything strange about it. When a person confuses reality and virtuality, this kind of situation and behavior will mostly occur.

"You don't have to worry too much about the issues that cause you anxiety, because you have to understand that the virtual world is not necessarily fake."

"When electronic life is born."

"Aurora can give it more rules, making it infinitely close to our world. Even when more people become electronic life, the boundary between reality and virtuality is no longer so clear."

Connor rubbed his face. He was not used to the stiff and delayed tactile feedback. "I understand what you said, but I suddenly feel a little... frustrated."

"It reminds me of when I was a kid, I thought the stories in the comic books were real, and I always looked forward to the day I could meet those heroes."

"Until I grow up."

Lynch put down his knife and fork with a smile, picked up the napkin and wiped the oil stains on his lips, "This time, this won't happen again."

"You either grow up or you never grow up."

“When you can cross the real world and the virtual world anytime and anywhere, it’s like another side of the real world, a side that contains all the beauty and hope, releases desires and instincts, and is like a perfect side.”

"Tell me about the food that made you eat your pants."

Connor smiled and covered his face. "I was too excited just now. Actually..." He also felt a little embarrassed. "But I have to say that you should go in and take a look. Maybe you, the scientists, and Aurora created this world, but you really should go in and take a look. It is more difficult to give up than any of us guessed."

Without a company, without Lynch, and without anything to restrict him, he can do whatever he wants. This is the most attractive part of the virtual world.

For many people, all the dissatisfaction, anger, desires, and impulses hidden in their hearts can be completely released in the virtual world without having to take on too much responsibility.

At most, they will deduct money and prevent people from logging into the virtual world for a period of time.

In fact, at the beginning many people felt that not being able to enter the virtual world was not a punishment at all, but now, it has become the most feared punishment for people living in the virtual world!
Not being able to let them into that world is like stuffing them back into the womb, and it's not fucking funny!
Lynch took Connor's suggestion seriously, "I will, but not now."

"I'll go in and take a look as well, once I resolve our current crisis."

Connor laughed for a while, "Okay, let's continue with the topic just now and talk about the food that ruined my lunch today..."

After lunch, Connor said he wanted to go back to the virtual world. It wasn't that he didn't want to stay with Lynch, but he had too many things to do there.

Of course he also said that when war breaks out, he must be awakened.

Even if he died, he wanted to watch himself die with his own eyes rather than die in hibernation.

Most people chose to return to the virtual world, and the real world became deserted again.

Busy companies are gradually becoming less busy, with more and more robots and online offices replacing people who always have endless work to do.

Inexplicably, this makes people who remain in the real world feel more or less lonely.

In the evening, when Lynch returned home, he happened to meet Penny who had returned to the real world. The movie "Dragon Magic" shot by her and her company had just been released and the box office was very good.

Of course, this is also due to the excellent script. It is a story about a loser who has been regarded as a waste by his tribe since childhood and has only the third level of dragon power, and his rise all the way.

The story is very long. It is called a movie, but in fact the viewing time is as long as three hours. It is said that a TV series version will be broadcast later.

The ticket price is five yuan, and more than 400 million people have watched it. It has been played more than 600 million times so far, with a total box office of more than 3 billion yuan.

Several major organizations believe that its box office will exceed 5 billion during its release period, and that subsequent re-watches will accumulate to more than 2 billion, and that the potential for peripheral products is endless.

This movie actually didn't cost much money, and Aurora handled all the work except those related to the crew by herself.

Of course, about 80% of this profit belongs to the company.

Penny and her production company will get about 12%, and the remaining 5% or so will be evenly distributed among other investors and actors.

But even so, Penny's expected income within three months is guaranteed to be about 600 million, which allows her to achieve financial freedom directly.

So far, Penny can be said to be the most successful one in evolving from an actor to a capitalist, no doubt about it.

She has also become the life goal and role model for many girls, inspiring them to give full play to their own strengths and specialties and never look back on the road of growth.

After a simple hug, Penny talked a lot about recent events, including the filming and other things.

Lynch just listened quietly. These topics were actually a bit far away from him.

In fact, many people, including Connor, did not really notice the change in the speed of time. They felt that a long time had passed, but for Lynch, it was only more than a year, and there were still many things that had not been done or completed.

When Penny said that she had originally planned to take the team to the upper level of the shelter for vacation, but everyone asked to vacation in the virtual world, she also felt a little confused.

But fortunately, this problem was not a problem, and her confusion about virtual and reality was soon forgotten as the numbers kept growing.

In fact, at this point, many people have gone against their original intention, which is to make money in the virtual world and spend it in the real world.

According to statistics from Fortune Bank, to date, almost 80 percent of real and virtual transactions are transfers from real accounts to virtual accounts.

What people worried about at the beginning, that virtual wealth would be transformed into real wealth and would impact the real economic system, did not happen.

Instead, funds from the real world continue to flow into the virtual world - in a sense, this is equivalent to flowing into Lynch's pocket.

However, he no longer cared about such things. After all, the entire earth and all mankind could be said to be his wealth.

As long as the wealth circulates internally and as long as it remains in the bank, it remains his.

The more money invested in the virtual world, the more people rely on it.

The two of them fought twice naturally that night. After that, Penny quickly packed up and prepared to leave.

"Honestly, you've created something amazing, you really should go see it for yourself, you'll love it."

"I'm sorry I have to leave, I still have a lot of work to do..."

Penny kissed Lynch on the cheek and then drove away towards her villa. She had a series of promotional activities to attend.

Recently they discovered that they can sell movies not only to ordinary people, but also to characters in the virtual world.

This is also the reason why some people cannot distinguish between reality and virtuality at all, because every native in the virtual world actually exists.

They are not a simple, repetitive piece of program code that can only trigger a few things that can be triggered.

They are all living personalities and souls, with their own joys and sorrows, and they are also curious about new things!
Many people have already married people in the virtual world, and what’s even more amazing is that they can actually have children!

So it seems that it is not surprising that natives in the virtual world watch movies.

Of course, the price is not too expensive. Only fifty copper coins are needed to enjoy three hours of ultimate experience, which is still very attractive to the natives.

Penny and her friends plan to promote their business in the imperial capital. There are too many wealthy natives there. If they can gain the favor of some nobles or even the royal family, they can earn more money and gain status!

It's easy to make money, but it's really hard to improve your status.

After Penny left, Lynch, the maid, and a bunch of robots were the only ones left in the room.
