A sneeze destroys a magical civilization
Chapter 369 The first batch of residents of Infinite City (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
There is no doubt that Lucius Malfoy is a typical opportunist and will never easily let go of any opportunity to gain profits and benefits.
Although his ambitions are not too big and he knows how to measure himself most of the time, it does not mean that he has none.
Especially now that Voldemort is obviously unable to make a comeback, and Zuo Si has mastered the fate of the Ministry of Magic to some extent, it is natural and inevitable to want to reach into the Ministry of Magic to get the coveted power.
After all, in any human society, the level of power is much higher than the level of wealth.
Having money without matching rights is like a fattened pig that may be slaughtered at any time.
This rule applies equally to modern so-called legal societies, not to mention wizards who still retain some of the nature of the jungle.
Even though the Malfoys are now one of the richest families in the British wizarding world, their political influence is obviously not as much as those of pure-blood and mixed-race families who have served as ministers of magic.
The reason why Lucius was able to unite some people around him was entirely because when Voldemort fell, he was the first to use the poor excuse of "he was under the Imperius Curse" to successfully escape punishment, and actively helped others who were also under the Imperius Curse. An ally who joins the Death Eaters for the good of the family.
Because these people had betrayed Death Eaters who were loyal to Voldemort, they also killed many wizards and Muggles during the war.
Therefore, they were afraid that they would be suppressed by the members of the Order of the Phoenix headed by Dumbledore, and they were even more afraid that one day the Dark Lord would come back to settle accounts with them. As a last resort, they could only hug together and surround themselves with the Malfoy family led by Lucius.
This also gave Lucius a certain amount of political capital, allowing him to enter the Hogwarts school board, bribe Ministry of Magic officials through money offensives, and even influence the minister's decision-making.
It's a pity that he obviously doesn't understand what Zuo Si really wants.
Since acquiring almost all the magic knowledge, various magical animals and magical plants of interest, Zuo Si has basically no interest in the so-called magic world and wizards.
Just think of it as a vacation spot to rest and relax.
Apart from occasionally purchasing in bulk some materials for making magic items and brewing potions through the network of relationships I have established, I have no other needs at all.
Since there is no demand, then why bother fussing over it when you are full?
Just continue to maintain this stable state.
As for controlling the magical world in Britain, Europe and the world, he really has no interest at all, let alone waste precious time and energy on such meaningless things.
At least there won't be any big moves until Principal Dumbledore dies of natural causes.
Just the opposite!
Zuo Si is actually more interested in the world of ordinary people than the magical world.
Whether it is those high-level talents who have received higher education and proven their abilities, or the souls of countless ordinary people who were sent to the afterlife and finally returned to the original energy form, or the rapidly developing technological level and the highly industrialized zone The cheap fabrics, steel, food, condiments, large machinery and other products that came from here are what is really needed to rebuild the floating city world.
However, it is not difficult to obtain these things, especially for him who can withdraw cash from "the enemy" anytime and anywhere. It is easier than eating and drinking. There is no need to form a secret society spanning six continents and four oceans.
After giving Lucius, Gemma Farley and others a stern warning, Zuo Si immediately put the matter behind him.
Just when he returned to the door of the principal's office, the originally closed door suddenly opened.
Dumbledore and Umbridge, the Minister of Magic, walked out side by side.
Behind them were Snape, Black, Lily, McGonagall, Harry and other parties involved.
Especially Snape and Black, both were staring at each other with a look of extreme disgust, disgust and hatred. Even from several meters away, they could feel the sparks flashing in the air.
If there was no one else around, Zuo Si had no doubt that the two of them would fight immediately until one of them was completely torn to pieces.
Unfortunately, Harry and Lily, mother and son, physically separated them from each other, making them afraid to launch an attack at the cost of accidentally injuring the most important person in the world.
Of course, as the savior who has learned the truth and is caught between his stepfather and godfather, his reaction is also quite interesting, with a complex expression of joy mixed with a hint of embarrassment and entanglement on his face.
Happily, this biological father's former best friend did not betray him. Instead, he desperately chose to avenge him after the murder. He even suffered unjust injustice and was imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years without complaining. regret.
In other words, from now on, he has another godfather who cares about and loves him.
This is undoubtedly a very happy thing for Harry, who has lacked family affection and care since he was a child.
What's more, Black also promised that even if he spent all the money in the family treasury, he would find a way to get a piece of magic mercury to resurrect his biological father James.
But the embarrassment and tangle is that because his mother has been dead for so long, she has long forgotten the time she spent with her biological father. She is determined to marry Snape, and the two of them even have children. .
In addition, biological father James will most likely not remember his former wife after his resurrection, so getting back together is basically out of the question.
Coupled with the incompatible and tense relationship between the godfather and stepfather, not to mention a minor like Harry, even adults will feel a headache.
What's more, he used a gun to seriously injure Blake at the wedding.
Although the other party repeatedly emphasized that he didn't need to care, and even praised his brave and decisive character as worthy of being a Gryffindor lion, he was still full of guilt and apology in his heart.
Just when Harry Potter was thinking about how to deal with this complicated family relationship in the future, the reporters and people who had been waiting at the door for a long time finally reacted and gathered around him with excitement.
As a gold medal reporter, Rita Skeeter unceremoniously bumped a colleague away with her butt, got closer before everyone else, and asked loudly: "Principal Dumbledore! Minister Umbridge! May I ask? Is Sirius Black as innocent as he claims?"
“Through Legilimency, we have been able to confirm that Black is indeed innocent.
He did not betray the Potters, but secretly changed the secret keeper to Peter Pettigrew.
In other words, Peter was the traitor who secretly joined Voldemort and betrayed his friends.
Moreover, the curse that blew up a street and killed countless Muggles was also Peter's crazy move when he was cornered and jumped over the wall. "
Dumbledore was the first to speak and explain the ins and outs of the whole incident.
After all, he is a master of Legilimency, and he has authority in this area that others do not possess.
"So... the Ministry of Magic made a big mistake? Not only did they arrest the wrong person and throw the last heir of the Black family, the Holy Twenty-Eight pure-bloods, into Azkaban to die, they also treated murderers and criminals as heroes, and served them as heroes. Awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class Medal of Honor?"
Rita Skeeter's eyes lit up like a fly seeing excrement.
Obviously, she has always been good at using exaggeration and false information to fabricate eye-catching news. She realized almost immediately that this was definitely a big news that could make the front page of the Daily Prophet and other media.
If we add fuel to the fire and fan the flames a little more, many big figures may have to take the blame and resign, ending their political careers sadly.
"Ahem! Ms. Skeeter, please watch your words.
It was not the Ministry of Magic that made this huge mistake, but the previous Minister for Magic Fudge and the stupid officials he appointed who made unforgivable mistakes.
Corruption, weakness, and incompetence. Although I don’t really want to speak ill of my former boss, the bad influence caused by my tenure has been hurting the British wizarding community.
But please rest assured, this is no longer the dark age when Fudge was in power.
I vowed that when I go back, I will severely punish the relevant personnel who caused this unjust, false and wrong case, and hold them accountable. "
Umbridge made her promise in a stern manner in front of countless pairs of eyes.
Despite the sad expression on her face now, she was actually happy for a long time.
Because through this incident, not only can a big black pot be put firmly on Fudge's head, but at the same time, those who may pose a threat to his position as Minister of Magic can be cleared away.
For example, the prestigious Barty Crouch, Rufus Scrimgeour, and the wizards who hold the highest judicial authority in the Wizengamot governing body.
Then he would take the opportunity to promote some of his cronies to occupy important positions.
When it comes to fighting for power, Umbridge has a keen sense of smell that is different from ordinary people, and she also knows how to seize the fleeting opportunity to consolidate her position.
Principal Dumbledore on the side couldn't help but twitch when he heard these words.
With his intelligence, it was impossible not to hear that Umbridge was deliberately criticizing, saying that she blindly promoted Fudge to the position of Minister of Magic, which led to a series of serious mistakes later.
What's even more terrible is that Rita Skeeter also understood the unspoken subtext, and immediately used the quill that could automatically make up nonsense to record it wildly, depicting the greatest wizard in front of her as an old and dim person. image in order to weaken its terrifying appeal in the magical world.
Of course, having lived to Dumbledore's age, he no longer cares about what outsiders think of him.
So he just glanced at the content on the sheepskin, and did not stop the other party from unscrupulously arranging himself. Instead, he kept using the corner of his eye to peek at the girl standing next to his brother Aberforth.
Ariana…
His biological sister, a poor girl who was killed by her own ambition and desire.
Although in the eyes of many outsiders, the famous Albus Dumbledore is wise, calm and can remain calm at all times.
Apart from the moral restraint on oneself, there are almost no shortcomings that can be exploited.
But in fact, Albus himself knew very well that he actually had a very fatal weakness, which was his indescribable longing and guilt for Ariana.
This kind of emotion has been accumulated and superimposed for nearly a hundred years, and has long since become a huge mental and psychological burden.
This is why Dumbledore reacted so violently to resurrecting his dead sister.
When a person has strong feelings of guilt towards another person, they will subconsciously resist meeting the other person.
But he is obviously much more serious than this, almost becoming like an inner demon that he cannot get rid of no matter what.
While countless people were rushing to ask questions loudly and there was chaos at the door of the principal's office, Zuo Si quietly came to the ignored savior and asked in a slightly playful tone: "Harry, how do you feel now?"
"Uh... I don't know how to describe it. I used to fantasize about how great it would be to have a perfect family and parents if I were not an orphan. But now, I suddenly find that the adult world seems to be better than I expected. It's much more complicated." Harry Potter sighed slightly with a look of helplessness.
"Look around, don't be so gloomy.
Thinking on the bright side, you now have at least two fathers, one is your stepfather and the other is your godfather.
There is also a biological father who may be resurrected in the future, and a biological mother who is willing to sacrifice her life for you.
If your godfather and your resurrected biological father find true love and get married, there will also be a godmother and stepmother.
It is equivalent to a person having three fathers, three mothers, three families and a lot of brothers and sisters.
Isn't this the family you've always dreamed of? "
Zuo Si resisted the urge to burst into laughter, patted the other party's shoulder and explained.
You must know that this wonderful drama staged under his intervention is much more exciting than those cookie-cutter, boring and bloody love stories.
Look at this extremely complicated interpersonal relationship and plot. First, the bad boys led by James Potter in their student days became enemies with Snape, and then they took away Snape's childhood sweetheart Lily. Finally, a son was born.
In order to regain his love, Snape turned dark and joined Voldemort's Death Eaters, hoping to ensure Lily's safety.
But in the end, it was all in vain. For a long time, I fell into deep self-blame and regret and couldn't extricate myself.
After getting the magic mercury to resurrect Lily, Snape went straight to the golden house and cooked the raw rice into cooked rice at all costs. From a bitter and hateful NTR, he became a glorious one. NTR.
To a certain extent, he and James Potter can be said to have given each other a green hat, and they are barely even.
If you think that's the end of it, you're totally wrong.
In fact, the real fun begins after James Potter is resurrected.
At that time, Harry will have to face his biological father plus godfather VS biological mother plus stepfather, as well as more than one half-sibling.
In the face of such a complicated and contradictory family relationship, it would be good if it was not driven crazy. There would be no time to pay attention to the so-called old enemy-Voldemort.
"Thos... the smile on your face seems a bit evil now." Harry Potter reminded in a low voice.
Zuo Si immediately shook his head and denied: "No, no, no, this must be your illusion.
In fact, I am rejoicing that you are getting more and more of your loved ones back.
After all, no matter what conflicts they had before, their love for you is true.
What’s more, as long as you’re alive, there are endless possibilities.
Maybe you can resolve their grudges through your own efforts? "
"Yes! I can try it!"
Harry's eyes suddenly burst into light called hope.
After Zuo Si noticed this, he immediately flashed a hint of teasing that was not easy to detect.
Resolve the grievances between James, Black and others and Snape?
too naive!
And it’s absolutely impossible!
Just because of Snape's vengeful, vindictive and arrogant character, it was 100% impossible to forget the bullying and humiliation he suffered back then, as well as the unforgettable hatred of seizing his wife.
By the same token, the self-righteous James and Black would never sincerely apologize to Snape for their behavior during their school days.
Therefore, all Harry's attempts to make peace between the two parties will ultimately end in failure or even backfire.
Moreover, he will also become the object of competition and influence from both sides, just like a mouse caught in a bellows and receiving influence from both sides.
It won't take long for the savior to understand that in fact, things like family love tend to feel better the farther away they are, but when they are in it, they often feel irritated and upset.
Especially with a complex situation like his, I'm afraid that after ten or twenty years of growing up, the whole person may crack.
As the Ministry of Magic officially admitted that Sirius Black was innocent and that Peter, who was posthumously named a hero, was the real murderer, the British wizarding world was in an uproar.
Fudge, who had originally retired and prepared to retire at home and wait to die, was once again scolded by the overwhelming public opinion and even had to go abroad to avoid the limelight.
Instead of being titled "The Greatest Minister of Magic," he was given a series of terrible titles including the worst, weakest, most incompetent, and most corrupt.
Even the family and their descendants were affected. Unable to withstand the huge condemnation, they resigned and left the positions they had finally obtained.
Under the banner of "wiping out the remnants of Fudge" and "returning a clear sky to the British wizarding world", Umbridge launched a purge of various important positions in the Ministry of Magic, and conveniently inserted Gemma Farley and other "own people" into them. , the euphemistic name is to give more opportunities to young people who dare to fight and are full of adventurous spirit.
After a set of combination punches, even those pure-blood families who originally looked down on Umbridge could not help but be convinced, and believed that no other person could shake her position in a short period of time.
In addition, there is also interesting information, that is, Ron's pet rat, Scabbers, is missing.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Zuo Si.
At this moment, he was sitting on the chair in the principal's office, flipping through a research notebook on ancient magic with interest. After more than ten minutes, he raised his head and asked, "Why did you suddenly give me this?"
"Because I want to retire. From now on, the wizarding world will officially enter the era led by you." Dumbledore replied in a slightly tired tone.
It was easy to tell from the puffy bags and dark circles under his eyes that he had been suffering from insomnia recently since meeting Ariana.
But Zuo Si closed the note and refused with a sneer: "Sorry, Professor. I'm not ready to take on such an important responsibility. Don't forget, I'm still a student at Hogwarts."
"Haha, if you want, I can issue you a diploma right now, and you can get the full score assessment certificates for all ordinary wizards and ultimate wizards without taking an exam.
In fact, apart from your age, you have reached an astonishing level in terms of your total magic power, knowledge and skills.
With you around, guys like Tom can't make any waves.
In addition, I plan to drop everything and use the last time of my life to do what I must do to make up for the mistakes I made before. "
When saying these words, Dumbledore's eyes were no longer as sharp and aggressive as before, but showed weakness like ordinary people.
"First of all, thank you for your recognition and trust.
But unfortunately, I am not the kind of person you are looking for, and I will not dedicate everything to protecting the current order of the magic world.
Just the opposite.
If someone now jumps out and shouts that he wants to overturn the secrecy law like Grandevo, I will not only not stop him, but I will also strongly support him.
Because in my opinion, the current magical world is too comfortable and full of blind arrogance.
As the technological level of the Muggle world advances with each passing day, it will only be a matter of time before it is finally discovered.
By that time, it is no longer the wizard who holds the initiative.
In fact, the wizarding world is dying at a slow pace.
Maybe it's decades, maybe it's hundreds of years...
When Muggle technology reaches the point where they can fly out of the earth and embark on a journey to the stars and the sea, what do you think is the difference between the wizards who remain on the ground and the primitive and backward indigenous tribes in the jungle?
Excessive conservatism will only lead to elimination and destruction. This is a truth that has been proven time and time again in human history.
Although many newspapers and media may be advocating that I am the leader of the next era, I can tell you clearly that I will never become the second you.
Also, from the moment you defeat Grindelwald, there is no future for the wizarding world.
It was you who personally killed the wizards' last chance to dominate the world. "
After that, Zuo Si casually returned the note to the principal, and expressed his position and attitude very clearly.
Be the guardian of the magical world?
Sorry, he would never take over this kind of thing that only has responsibilities and obligations but no corresponding power, and may even be kidnapped by morality. As long as his mind has not been squeezed through the door.
The nonsense "with great power comes great responsibility" should be used to fool those passionate young people who have never experienced social beatings.
Dumbledore was keenly aware of the contempt and disdain in Zuo Si's eyes. He held his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Do you think the decision I made at the beginning was wrong? Are you a traitor and a sinner among wizards?"
Zuo Si shook his head slightly: "No, I didn't say that, I just stated an existing fact.
At least from the perspective of the Muggles, you successfully prevented an ambitious and wizard-oriented extreme racist who attempted to subvert the existing order of the world. You are an out-and-out savior and hero.
As for what will happen in the future of the magical world, who can say clearly. "
"What about you? If a war really breaks out between Muggles and wizards one day, what will you do and choose?" Dumbledore asked with a serious expression.
"I won't do anything. I will just stand by and watch them decide the winner. At most, I will protect some people I know and care about when the wizard side loses. That's all. Oh, by the way, I have been a little busy recently, maybe I can’t make it back to take the final exam, so I’ll ask you for a leave in advance.”
After saying these words, Zuo Si ignored the principal's reaction, stood up and walked out of the office door.
Looking at his retreating back, Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh again, turned around and looked out the window at the gloomy sky, his heart filled with anxiety and worry.
But this time, the worry is no longer about Voldemort, but about the future of wizards and the wizarding world.
If it had been in the past, he would not have doubted the wave that swept across the European magic world decades ago, as well as the choices he made, as he does now.
But since he began to pay attention to the technological development of the Muggle world, the centenarian suddenly realized that even with magic like the Muggle Expelling Curse, the probability of wizards being discovered by Muggles would inevitably become higher and higher in the future.
Especially the increasing number of surveillance cameras on the streets and alleys may capture wizards using various magics at any time.
Maybe the Ministry of Magic can still just send people to use the forgetting spell to delete these things.
But what if cameras become smaller and smaller, more hidden, and the number increases dozens or even hundreds of times?
By that time, can a dozen or even dozens of wizards really handle so many emergencies in a short period of time?
There is also a fast information transmission technology called "Internet" that has developed rapidly in recent years, which is also a huge potential threat to wizards.
Compared with the miraculous development speed of the Muggle world after the end of World War II, the insignificant progress and changes in the wizarding world are simply like a pool of stagnant water.
"Fox, do you think I was really wrong?" Dumbledore asked his pet phoenix.
But unfortunately, although Phoenix is smart enough to understand what the master wants to express, when faced with such an overly complicated question, he can only blink innocently, not knowing how to answer it.
…
At the same time, Zuo Si, who left the principal's office, went to say goodbye to Hermione and then started shopping with a list.
As before, he first randomly selected a few "lucky ones", then directly cast the Soul-Imperius Curse to complete the control, and ordered the other party to start purchasing the contents on the list through various channels.
In just a few days, countless steel, precision mechanical parts, advanced laboratory-specific instruments and other messy things were all stuffed into the box of the Traceless Stretch Spell.
After finishing all this, Zuo Sicai took the souls collected by Phoenix God Bennu during this period and returned directly to the Floating City, and met with these people in the virtual space that replicated Waterdeep City.
Since there were already thirty experts from various fields, and some of them knew each other or heard each other's names, their original nervousness was quickly calmed down, and their consciousness was injected into them through the psychic transmission channel. Inside the prepared clone body.
Immediately afterwards comes the popular stage of snatching people.
Since several relatively independent departments have been established in the floating city, and each department has a lot of urgent research topics, it can be said that manpower is very scarce.
Not to mention these geniuses who already have a certain reputation in the industry, even ordinary researchers are eager to get more.
In fact, due to the extreme shortage of manpower, many tasks have been completed by constructs and even corpse-embedded creatures with certain intelligence.
Of course, these guys are different from those mass-produced ones. They have been specially modified and strengthened according to needs. They often have two or three heads and seven or eight hands. One person can stand up to several ordinary researchers.
The only regret is that they can only engage in repetitive tasks that require little brain power, and have no ability to make independent judgments at all.
Including the heads of the weapons design and research and development team, overall planning and social science team, magic chemistry laboratory, energy and physics laboratory, biological and necromantic technology laboratory, psychic signal enhancement laboratory, materials science laboratory and other departments , and even put down their research to go into battle personally in order to grab more manpower.
Suddenly, the first floor hall of the central tower of the floating city turned into a recruitment scene.
No matter what department they are in, they are desperately trying to emphasize their importance, showcasing the projects they are studying and the heights they can achieve in the future.
It didn't take long for the new group of high-level talents to make their choices one after another and devote themselves to the magic field that they had never touched before with great enthusiasm.
For them who have died once, to be able to regain their lives and continue to engage in research that they are interested in, and learn to master the mysterious magical power, it is simply a matter of great luck, and they are afraid that they will not be able to perform well and will be eliminated. Lose.
In contrast, other players who know nothing about the truth are not so lucky.
These souls were first put into prepared containers to separate them, and then were inhaled in batches by the mastermind Isadora into another illusory world "Infinite City", and their memories were slightly modified.
Soon, the first batch of new souls woke up from the huge dormant chamber called "Ant Nest".
"This...where is this? Who am I?"
An Asian face in his thirties slowly climbed out of the silver dome full of science fiction and looked around with a blank expression.
There were about three to four hundred people who woke up with him, uniformly wearing white tight-fitting clothes, and slowly gathered towards the only passage at the door.
Although these people include white people from Europe and America, yellow people from East Asia, and Latinos from South America, they can communicate without barriers and speak very fluently in no language on earth.
When everyone gathered, the originally closed door slowly opened, and a young girl with short hair walked in from the outside.
You don't need to ask to know that she is the avatar created by the mastermind Isadora.
After first feeling the mental state of these souls and confirming that they were not crazy or stupid, Isadora said with a smile: "I think you must be confused about where this place is and who you are. ,Right?"
"That's right! Miss! Please give us a clear explanation." A strong white man more than two meters tall squeezed out of the crowd.
"No problem, that's what I'm going to say next. First, please calm down, search your memory, and then tell me if you remember anything?"
Isadora pointed to her temples and used words to guide the minds of these newly transformed souls.
About two or three minutes later, the first Asian to wake up exclaimed: "Ah! I remembered! I... I was in a car accident and was run over by a clock train and then lost consciousness. "
"Damn it! I remembered it too! I was hit in the heart by a bullet on the battlefield." The strong white man's face instantly turned pale.
"I have terminal cancer!"
"I'm having a heart attack!"
"I...I have acute leukemia!"
…
As one person after another recalled the last scene before death, they finally found what they had in common with each other.
When Isadora saw this scene, she immediately clapped her hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said to herself: "I believe you don't need to explain, you all understand that you have actually died once. But you are lucky, your family members are at the end An experimental agreement was signed at the same time, allowing scientific research institutions to freeze corpses and use them for related medical research."
"Wait a minute! If our corpses are donated for medical research, shouldn't they be dissected like those soaked in formalin solution in medical schools?" a young man wearing glasses asked. Broken road.
"No, you misunderstood. The agreement you signed is not the kind of ordinary medical research, but the research on consciousness and soul after death. From 1992 to now, three full centuries have passed. Our company has finally mastered the cutting-edge technology that can resurrect corpses. And you are the first people to be awakened."
When saying these words, Isadora carefully observed everyone's reaction.
As she expected, when these guys heard that three hundred years had passed, they were all stunned with expressions of disbelief.
"Three...three hundred years? We have been frozen for three hundred years!"
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old Latin girl opened her mouth wide, her whole body trembling slightly due to excessive emotion.
Isadora nodded slightly: "Yes. According to the agreement, you are the first batch to be frozen, so you are also the first batch to be awakened."
"But...but why can't I remember my name? Not only the name, but also other information has become very blurry?" The strong white man frowned and asked.
“Due to the immature technology in the early days, the freezing equipment was far less safe and reliable than later, and your brain may have suffered some unknown minor damage.
However, this situation should not be very serious, and maybe it will recover on its own after a while.
What's more, a full three hundred years have passed now, and your former family and friends are no longer here.
Since you have forgotten your past name, why not give yourself a new name to embrace your future life? "
Isadora was clearly well prepared and gave a straightforward and convincing reason.
In fact, the selective amnesia of these people was entirely the result of her deliberate erasure.
The purpose is also very simple, that is, to downplay the contradictions and conflicts that may be caused by factors such as race, nationality, religion, etc., so that these souls can quickly forget the past and become the kind of "fourth natural disaster" that Zuo Si needs.
There is no doubt that the possibility of long-term freezing causing damage to brain cells is so high that the strong white man immediately chose to accept it. At the same time, he sighed with a wry smile: "Well, as a person who died once, he can die again. I am already very lucky to be reborn. I really shouldn’t expect too much. Miss, if you don’t mind, can you let us see what the future world will look like?”
"Okay. Please line up and follow me. Remember, don't touch anything you don't understand. Otherwise, our company will not be responsible for accidents and casualties. If important equipment and instruments are damaged, , you must make compensation.”
After saying that, Isadora turned around and walked straight out of the gate.
Hundreds of people hurriedly followed closely, with either curiosity or nervous eyes, ready to see with their own eyes what the world would be like three hundred years from now.
As a result, as soon as they came out of the "ant nest", they were stunned by what they saw.
At the top of a building thousands of meters high, countless rectangular vehicles were flying along the gaps between buildings at extremely fast speeds, so fast that they even left afterimages in the air. .
But even so, not a single traffic accident occurred.
They don't even know whether this thing should be called a "car" or an "aircraft."
In addition, the exaggerated, sci-fi and dazzling buildings also make these "old antiques" from the past continue to exclaim.
In particular, the beasts projected by the lifelike 3D projection billboard looked just like the real thing and shocked many people.
Bionic robots and robotic pets are everywhere in the streets and alleys, violently impacting the cognitive limits of everyone present.
"Oh my God! This...is this the world three hundred years from now? Which country is this? Which city?" The first Asian to wake up asked, covering his mouth and suppressing his emotions.
"Now there is no concept of country and city. There is only one legal regime on earth - the coalition government, and there is only one super city, which is the Infinite City under our feet. Finally, please allow me to say to you on behalf of people of this era, welcome Come to the future!”
As these words blurted out, these souls who had been completely deceived by the illusory world could no longer control their excitement, crying and laughing like madmen.
But soon, a more rational old man raised a question that worried everyone.
"Now that three hundred years have passed and the world has undergone such drastic changes, what about our identities? The most important thing is, can we old antiques really adapt to a society with such advanced technology and find a job to support ourselves?"
moment!
The scene that was very lively one second was so quiet the next second you could hear a pin drop.
After all, how to find a job to make money and support yourself is a huge challenge that must be faced.
"Please don't worry about this. Our company has helped you apply for a new resident status, and is also willing to provide you with a job."
After going in circles for a long time, Isadora finally revealed her true purpose.
Obviously, the reason she put so much effort into creating such a huge and magnificent infinite city was not to allow these souls to live and live in peace of mind, but to introduce them to the floating city in the real world and transfer their consciousness into clones to serve Zuo Si's plan. .
"What kind of job? How much money can you make? Is it enough to support your family?" the old man asked immediately.
Isadora smiled and replied: "Of course. In fact, the content of this job is to play games in the virtual world to make money, and then exchange the virtual currency into real-world currency.
With the development of science and technology, virtual reality technology has been implemented decades ago.
It is called a second home outside the real world, and both adults and children will be immersed in it and enjoy the fun.
Since there is demand, there will naturally be a market.
Currency in virtual games can even be equated to some extent with real-world money.
Thirty years ago, the coalition government enacted the Virtual Property Protection Act and recognized that virtual property is as important as real-world property.
Now, I will take you to take a shower, eat something, and then experience this virtual reality game. What do you think? "
"We don't seem to have any other choice, do we?"
The strong white man shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
In fact, he had no idea that he had inadvertently revealed the essence of the virtual world "Infinite City".
Although Isadora seems to give everyone a choice, in fact, if the souls who enter here are unwilling to accept the job she provides and instead go out to work outside, they will soon find that they will continue to encounter various kinds of things. What a terrible thing, not only will you not make any money at all, but you will also be hunted down by gangs and even the police.
