I rely on copies to build infrastructure

Although "living together" in the same house, Qin Lu sometimes can't understand the brain circuits of new friends.

For example, this immersion dungeon is obviously a setting to increase the difficulty. Why does Xi Xiaoren still look interested? Ordinary players will die if they get lost in the dungeon!

"fine."

Xi Ren patted him, as if he misunderstood his expression.

"I will remember you and find you, you don't have to worry."

Qin Xiaolu: ...

Well, suddenly I don't know what to say...

Just, a little complicated.

But no matter how complicated it is, time will still pass by a little bit.

In the last week, Qin Lu has been studying the treatment guide left by the blonde girl.This is the first-hand information that really comes from the dungeon world. Although I don't know how much I can remember after entering, it is always good to preview it in advance. If this part of the memory is preserved, then he will earn money.

Not only did he watch, but he also took Xi Ren to ponder together.

The medical treatment guide left by the blond girl, in addition to the introduction of various services of the Cold Spring Harbor Medical Center, also recorded some of her own thoughts, including daily life, but also revealed some copies of the information.

For example, in a world where all people admire appearance, appearance represents wealth and ability.The people believe that beautiful people have better minds and talents. They are favored by nature and destined to take on more important responsibilities.

In such an atmosphere, many children born in wealthy families will be sent for plastic surgery since they were young. Plastic surgery hospitals are the most profitable business in the whole family, and Cold Spring Harbor Medical Center is the leader among them.

This is not only because of the excellent plastic surgery techniques of the medical center, but also because they master the aesthetic rules of the whole world.

Cold Spring Harbor Medical Center is affiliated to PV Group, which is the number one technology company in the world. Its business covers medical, electronics, biology, medicine, media, finance and other industries. It is an out-and-out commercial monopoly giant.

PV Group's fortune comes from "Timmy", the world's only intelligent self-computing cloud center, which is independently developed and manufactured by the founding team of PV Group. It can use the most scientific algorithm to calculate the appearance data, and it is said that the accuracy rate is 99.9999%.

The test report of "Tianmei" has now become the most important basis for evaluating personal abilities in the dungeon world, and because of the creation of "Tianmei", PV Group has transformed from a little-known small company to a technological upstart sought after by the world. With a steady stream of money pouring in, and countless dignitaries standing for them, the snowball got bigger and bigger, and PV Group quickly grew from a super company that dominates one side.

The media under the PV Group publishes the "Aesthetic Report" every year based on the "Tianmei" test data, leading the beauty trend of the dungeon world.But pure natural beauty is always more respected than artificial beauty, so even if the family is poor, it doesn’t matter if you come from the lower class, as long as you have a beautiful body and a beautiful face, the fair and just "Tianmei" will praise you generously. The world beauty pageant is the road to heaven for many people!

Because of her beauty, salty fish turn over and reverse, this is the most popular drama of the people of Cold Spring Harbor, and I will never get tired of watching it for nothing.

As a result, today, the beauty pageant is not only an entertainment program organized by PV Group, but also a carnival that attracts the attention of all the people.All citizens who have reached the age of 18 must accept the assessment of "Tianmei", and it must not be postponed until the age of 24. The results of the first assessment will be made public and used as the basis for evaluating potential, which can be called public execution.

It's the prelude to the pageant and one of the highest-rated segments.The top 100 contestants in the evaluation will automatically get a place in the beauty pageant, and the rest of the contestants need to sign up by themselves and accept auditions and various evaluations.

In every beauty pageant, some lucky ones will soar to the sky, and of course some people will fall from the peak.The same is true even for the proud sons of wealthy families. The public opinion is even more harsh on them. Ordinary people only need to meet the standard of C. If they are replaced by aristocrats and wealthy families, they must be raised to A. Those below A will be reduced to the whole world. laughing stock.

After all, I have enjoyed the convenience of artificial transformation since I was a child. If the appearance still cannot meet the standard, people can't help but question how bad his original appearance is. This will shame the family, be abandoned by the mainstream circle, and eventually die socially.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaolu smacked his mouth, feeling that the world of Cold Spring Harbor is really distorted.

Taking beauty as the entire criterion for evaluating a person, and having beauty means having everything, this is undoubtedly pushing society to an extreme direction.

And that PV group is weird too.

According to their own company introduction, they were discovered because they invented the "Tianmei" program, but in the introduction of the blonde girl, this company has changed from a game service provider to a rule maker, and can even affect the qualifications for entering and exiting top circles , which is somewhat abnormal.

After all, the original patrons of the PV Group are these "old money" and "nobles". They are PV investors and endorse the credibility of PV. How can the owner tolerate the backlash of pets?

"Blonde's note said her own original rating was not good and that her fate was changed by her participation in the pageant."

Qin Lu's finger clicked on a certain line of writing.

"Why change fate at the beauty pageant? Isn't appearance rating a pre-procedure of the beauty pageant?"

"If her rating is not satisfactory, she will not be automatically eligible for the beauty pageant. Instead, she needs to sign up and pass the audition. But how can a person with an unremarkable appearance pass the audition? It's not scientific at all."

"Perhaps the original rating she was referring to was not the rating of 'Tianmei'."

Xi Ren replied.

"When we met her in the food street, she had a strong smell on her body, and her face was almost completely replaced. The source of the smell is the rejection and decay between organs. This situation is different from the robots in Wasteland City. , blonde women are using real human organs, not artificial substitutes."

"Then the question is, where did these organs come from?"

Hearing his question, Qin Lu hesitated for a moment.

"Perhaps someone who died in Cold Spring Harbor World?"

"After all, the blond girl is still a person who left the world of Cold Spring Harbor, which means she didn't use organs from other planes."

"you're right."

Xi Ren nodded with a smile.

"But there is another possibility."

He paused, and said again.

"In a world where beauty is the highest standard, an unsatisfactory initial assessment means that she does not have enough capital to make an early investment. According to the world view of Cold Spring Harbor, a turning point in fate means a counterattack in appearance, that is to say, the blonde girl The facelift was done before the pageant even started."

"So, where did the money come from? Or, what price did she pay?"

When Xi Ren was speaking, Qin Lu's back was always shivering.

He also thought of a possibility, but he couldn't believe it, after all, this guess was too unbelievable.

"She made some sort of... exchange?"

"Yes, I'm afraid so."

Xi Ren tapped the table with his fingers and said softly.

"She is willing to stay in Wasteland City, but I'm afraid she has nothing to exchange."

"The copy is her last reliance, but this kind of reliance is not safe, and she might lose her life at any time."

"So instead of returning to the world where life is cut off, it's better to stay in the copy and die slowly. I said that she is not bad, that's what I mean."

"Unfortunately, she still has to go back. Her world has become PV-oriented, and everyone lives according to strange rules without realizing it. Such a situation will not occur in a normal plane."

"Maybe this is why Cold Spring Harbor will become a dungeon. When there are serious problems in the world and cannot be corrected by themselves, players from another world may be the last salvation."

Xi Ren didn't say the latter, but Qin Lu understood.

Going forward on the wrong path, a hopeless world will generate copies, and when the entire world becomes a copy, it means that collapse is coming.

The possibility of entering the dungeon is the final salvation, and that is only a "possibility".

If the people in this world do not want to change themselves, but use salvation as another resource that can be grabbed, then the demise of this world is almost irreversible.

They cut off the last hope with their own hands.

Such as Wasteland City.

"Small blade."

Qin Lu hesitated for a moment.

He has been curious about some things for a long time, but he has never been able to find a chance.

Since we were talking about dungeons today, he asked tentatively.

"I found that you know a lot about the system?"

"Did you also connect to the system when you were on the island in the far east?"

In fact, he wanted to ask more about Xi Ren's blood contract, but he swallowed the words and changed his approach.

Xi Ren shook his head.

"I have not connected to the system."

"Then how do you know about the duplication of the world?"

Qin Xiaolu asked.

"I remember you also said before that the world without problems will not generate a copy, how do you know?"

Xi Ren was taken aback.

"I just know it."

He replied subconsciously, with a rare look of uncertainty on his face.

"Something... I don't remember."

When he said this, Qin Lu couldn't ask any further questions, but the doubts were planted after all.

The longer we get along, the more he feels that Xiaoren's sexuality is not only Gou 8's attitude towards him, but also his ability to bring people or things outside the domain into and out of the dungeon at will. This setting is almost against the sky. The presence.

How could such a person be trapped in the extreme east island?

But Qin Lu didn't feel any malice from Xiaoren.

So far, he has gotten along well with this "roommate". Not only has his living standard improved significantly, but his personal safety is also guaranteed.

If Xiao Ren doesn't want to talk about it, then he should just pretend he doesn't know.

Anyway, sooner or later it will become clear.

Seven days passed in a flash, and soon it was time to enter the copy.

Qin Lu and Xi Ren stood by the sea, a white light flashed, leaving only the empty beach, wave after wave.
