Interlude 45: Healthy Play Starts with Me

"Wow...really? My whole body aches..." Yi Yi struggled to get out of bed, looked around, and finally felt a little familiar with the room that the heartless capitalist had arranged for her.

"I haven't left my room in so long. I was a little unaccustomed to it when I was brought here. Now this room is much nicer than my doghouse."

She rubbed her head again and said to the cerebellum, which was the embodiment of the housekeeping robot, "Wow, what happened? It feels like someone hit me on the head with a stick."

While Cerebellum took out a pillow and placed it behind Yi Yi's back, it busily extended its mechanical arm to massage Yi Yi.

It looks kind of cute, though, because it's struggling a bit.

Yi Yi couldn't help but chuckle, patting the robot's round head and saying, "Why are you so nervous? I've been resting for several days, and there's nothing wrong with me."

Cerebellum took the hand off her head and squeezed it, saying, "That won't do. Xiaoyiyi is an employee of our company now, so she should have her health guaranteed."

Yi Yi raised an eyebrow, just about to express her surprise that the heartless boss of Lianmeng could still have such a conscientious statement, when Xiao Nao continued, "Besides, the main system has crashed right now, and only Xiao Yi Yi is fixing it, so you absolutely mustn't get sick."

Well, he's still the same heartless capitalist I know!

After thinking for a moment, Yi Yi felt her mind was still numb, and occasional dull pain would interrupt her thoughts. She couldn't help but complain, "No, it's just playing a game, how can it hurt so much? It never hurt this much when I played before!"

Upon hearing this, the cerebellum paused for a moment while the robotic arm that was massaging Yi Yi silently returned to the smart system terminal in the room.

Under the control of the cerebellum, the housekeeping robot continued to massage Yi Yi, but Yi Yi noticed it and looked up at the screen that was slowly descending from the ceiling.

A huge projection appeared in front of her, and Yi Yi leaned back again, ready to see what tricks the shady company's high-tech AI was going to play on her this time.

The first thing you see is the user manual for the Love Dream Game Pod.

Yiyi:? ? ?

With the adjustment of her cerebellum, Yi Yi was finally able to see the important information clearly—

The warnings regarding the use of game pods specify strict controls on game duration and game speed.

"But isn't there a security lock controlling the game time? It will automatically pop up when the time is up, so players don't usually need to pay attention to it themselves, right?" Yi Yi asked.

“That’s right, but does Xiaoyi know why the game of Love Dream requires strict control of game time?” Xiaonao continued.

Yi Yi tilted her head and naturally asked in return, "Isn't it because immersive holographic games are easy to get addicted to, and the nutrient solution in the game pod has a limited content, making long-term gaming potentially dangerous?"

"That's one of the reasons," the cerebellum continued, pulling up an image of a virtual brain from who-knows-where. "The main reason is the game's speed-up."

"Currently, the highest game speed that Lianmeng can achieve is a 365:1 ratio between the game time flow rate and the real time flow rate."

"Little Yiyi, as you know, the Dream of Love game is played while the body is asleep, but the brain is highly active."

"Because when playing games, the brain needs to receive and process a lot of information, and prolonged high levels of brain activity can be very damaging to the nerves."

"The higher the game speed, the higher the brain activity. Therefore, we strictly control the game speed and game duration for players."

The language was fluent, the information was comprehensive, and it was explained using a way that Yi Yi could easily understand.

It's not hard to see that the cerebellum was prepared for this explanation long ago.

Yi Yi nodded, then thought for a moment and felt something was off, saying, "So what I'm experiencing now is a side effect of excessive gaming? But I've played for over ten days straight before and run out of nutrient solutions. After all, you need to sleep and rest in games too, and it wasn't like this before."

"So it's not just a matter of time," said the cerebellum. "Little Yiyi, think about it, how much of the past two weeks have you spent in the game? Specifically?"

“That’s naturally…” Yi Yi paused for a moment, then calculated in her mind using the timeline before answering, “More than a hundred years…”

Then, reflecting on it, I realized that I had indeed lost my sense of time while playing the game, and I suddenly found it a bit funny, saying, "Playing too many games can make you a little silly."

The brain activity brought about by the amount of information in one day being equivalent to a year is incomparable to the situation I experienced this time, where half a month was equivalent to more than a hundred years.

No wonder my brain is still so blank.

As Yi Yi was thinking this, she heard the cerebellum say, "However, we didn't let you live through these 106 years completely. The reason why your sense of time is confused is most likely because we compressed the invalid time without information."

Compressing invalid time that contains no information?

"Exactly, for example, you've come to the beginning of 'The White Witch' nearly a hundred years ago, but what's really effective, Xiao Yiyi, is the period at the start of the game. In theory, we'll integrate the information from the previous hundred years and then feed it back to you, giving you the concept that 'a hundred years have passed'."

On the giant screen, the cerebellum switched through a PowerPoint presentation that had been created at some point, and continued to explain: "Actually, if you hadn't met the male protagonist, Adolf, so early, and the system hadn't counted your time with Adolf as valid, according to our plan, you wouldn't have had such severe aftereffects..."

"So my current distress is entirely your fault?" Yi Yi interrupted softly. "If you were going to monitor me, you should have done it better! The system already knew it was the male lead, why didn't you remind me!?"

The cerebellum felt a cold sweat break out on its AI self, and hurriedly explained, "No, no, it's because my appearance signifies the provision of effective information. In order not to give Xiaoyiyi too much useless effective time, I am often arranged to be in hibernation, especially during those hundred years..."

“That doesn’t hold water,” Yi interrupted again. “It’s completely untenable. You should be fully integrated with the main system…”

"Waaah, anyway, I've already leveled up, this won't happen again!" Seeing that Yi Yi was still looking at him suspiciously, his brain worked quickly, and suddenly an idea came to him. "Little Yi Yi, how did you rest? You seem pretty energetic. How about we start the next leg of our journey?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Yi's spirit immediately flared up. Her determination to never give up made her forget about what she had been investigating earlier, and she protested, "Seriously? Even the donkeys in the production team can rest more than I can! Let me rest for two more days!"

After saying that, he lay down on the bed, pulled the covers over his head, and started pretending to be dead.

Seeing this, Cerebellum breathed a sigh of relief, and after controlling the housekeeping robot to charge, it also temporarily left Yi Yi's room.

After leaving Yi Yi's room, Cerebellum arrived at another room with the same layout.

“Dad!” Xiaona shouted.

The man on the bed slowly sat up and asked, "How is she?"

"Mom's much better now, she even has the energy to find flaws in my logic." The cerebellum appeared on the man's watch on the bedside table and asked, "What should we do? I told you that excuse wouldn't fool Mom!"

"It's alright, she'll just think you've suddenly become artificially stupid." The man chuckled, tapped his watch twice, flipped through the calendar, and asked, "Did she say when I can enter the game?"

“Ah… Mother said in a couple of days,” Xiao Cerebro replied.

The man nodded and said, "Okay, you go back and look after her. Take good care of her. If she needs anything, just ask for help yourself."

The cerebellum obediently responded and gracefully left.

The man on the bed tapped his watch, and the electric curtains slowly opened.

He looked out the bright daylight through the floor-to-ceiling windows and muttered to himself, "They say humans only develop less than 10% of their brain..."

"It's also my fault. Two variables are indeed a bit too many. For her safety, we need to improve the controllability."

"But...it seems we've discovered something terrible..."
