God Simulator

"It's really rare for people from the southern continent of the Yao world to come here... Let me confirm again, Joseph, the position you are applying for is a flying boat pilot?"

"Yes." Joseph sat upright.

"But why did you come to our maintenance station to report? The driver's income is much higher than ours, and unlike us, they don't live in the flying boat ring road all year round, far away from the ground city..." The skeleton maintenance captain sitting opposite looked confused. Its dark eyes looked at the bottom of the paper: "Huh? It turned out to be a test flight fainting, what a pity."

Joseph thought to himself, if I hadn't fainted, of course I would have gone on the flying boat.

Along with athletes and stage performers, flying boat pilots are among the three most popular professions nowadays.

Athletes can constantly challenge their own limits. If they can turn on [Flow], it will be a huge help whether they continue to practice or switch to other professions.

There are athletes in every world of the Yao people. They started from "Kuafu Chasing the Sun" and are now running everywhere.

This is not a simple cultivation path, but a basic profession with extremely high gold content. Each city has given subsidies to athletes who are willing to settle locally, provided them with sports venues, and vigorously promoted the participation of all people in sports.

Stage performer is an ancient profession with a long history, which can be traced back to the [Ale Theater] in the earliest beast-fighting era. At that time, there were performers on stage to perform the Yao people's classic play "Death of the Demon".

Since the "Green Forest Dance Company" completed its tour around the world, driven by this group of beautiful girls, the popularity of stage performers has rapidly increased, and the income of practitioners has also shown explosive growth. Especially young men and women flock to it, dreaming of being on stage and becoming the center of attention.

The addition of musical instruments such as the Jie Jiao Wooden Piano Box has also enriched the stage performances. Dance, music, drama, and live battle flags have made major theaters almost full of performance schedules every day.

Compared to these two professions, flying boat pilots are even rarer.

The flying boat is meant to break through the boundaries of the world, to enter the void that contains nothing but seems to encompass everything. This mysterious and curious high-end profession, which is beyond the existing civilization system, has always been admired by people, and girls are particularly fond of flying boat pilots.

Unfortunately, most of the pilots are skeletal ancestors and are unmarried, so non-undead and gold-noble pilots are more popular.

Joseph has been an athlete (completed the long-distance race around the continent in the southern continent) and danced on the stage (albeit in the background), but he ultimately wanted to be a spaceship pilot.

He has longed for challenges and adventures since he was a child.

The pilot of the airship can see scenes that many people cannot see, as if he has soared from the top of the world!

Another thing is that the income of flying boat pilots is very high, very, very high!

Adventure without financial feedback is meaningless!

The pilot of the airship met all Joseph's needs, including a mysterious adventure, wealth and income far exceeding others, and the admiration and love of the girls!

Relying on excellent physical fitness, good foundation and learning adaptability, he passed the two-and-a-half-year trainee assessment.

However, during his first cross-border flight, Joseph foamed at the mouth and rolled his eyes. Fortunately, the experienced airship pilot provided him with emergency treatment and he was able to land safely.

So his application for employment was rejected, and the only place he could go to was the maintenance station.

…

"Some people are born with dizziness when flying across borders."

Captain Skeleton expressed his understanding: "Although the maintenance station is not as beautiful as high altitude, we are very stable here. Our daily routine is to maintain the spaceship and ground track. We have food and accommodation at the station, which is very convenient."

"Then we take a vacation every six months, and each vacation lasts for two months. We usually have to stay at the site, and life is relatively boring. But now it is equipped with the [Fairy Palace], where we can usually go to sing and experience the feeling of returning to city life. , even if you have family members, you can move here..."

Joseph sighed inwardly.

What can be done? Just make do.

Breaking through limits can make up for congenital defects.

The maintenance station is not very busy, and he has enough time to exercise and develop his [athlete's] growth abilities.

"last question."

Captain Skeleton put down the job application in his hand: "The maintenance station needs stable personnel, and maintenance personnel need to stay at their posts for a long time. We may not have such outstanding talents, but we must have a responsible and perseverant attitude. You really decide , do you want to join our site and become a maintenance worker who is usually away from the ground and the city? "

"Joseph, you are an elf. Elves always love nature. No offense. I just have to be responsible for the entire site. I don't want us to just welcome a new member to join, and then he will leave us soon. "

"Do not worry."

Joseph opened his arms and said: "As you can see, I am a great elf. On the southern continent, great elves are traditionally responsible for defending and fighting. They are not as demanding on the environment as the elves. It's just that most great elves They all stay in the south. I will definitely stick to my post and become an excellent maintenance worker.”

"I see."

Looking at the Hulk in front of him, Captain Skeleton extended his hand to him: "Welcome, maintenance man Joseph, I am the station manager of Maintenance Station No. 77, Kepler. If you have any trouble or want to chat, you are welcome at any time. Come to me and I will give you the most honest advice.”

Joseph held hands with the opponent's dry bones.

"Joseph, you won't run, will you?"

"Of course not, Captain Kepler."

They both looked at each other and smiled.

…

On the first day at the site, Joseph wanted to run away.

Although he had planned to hone his will and body at the maintenance station until he could overcome the cross-border dizziness before applying for a job as a flying boat pilot.

But this place was much more difficult than he thought.

First of all, Maintenance Station No. 77 only has a small tower platform, and there is a circle of dormitories surrounding the tower. In addition, the scope of activities is limited to the track area they are responsible for on Line 4. His daily food is dried meat, dry wheat cakes, jam and water, and he can get one pound of fresh meat and one pound of fruit every seven days.

The vast majority of maintenance workers are skeleton ancestors. They do not eat or drink and have no need for food.

In the entire Maintenance Station No. 77, Joseph is the only non-undead being, and the others are all skeletal ancestors.

Skeleton maintenance crews usually like to play collision competitions. They form two teams and line up in an array to charge at each other at high speed. Whichever team has a complete skeleton standing at the end wins.

No matter which group Joseph joins, it is unfair to the other side, and no one can cut him into pieces, so Joseph becomes the permanent referee. Being a referee is really not a good experience. As soon as the game starts, he is always cursed by both sides.

Apart from his boring spare time, another difficulty for Joseph is inspecting the spacecraft.

In security inspection and maintenance work, there is a link called [loop inspection].

Today's flying boat has two loops assembled from crystal structures, namely the [dynamic loop] and the [static loop].

[Dynamic circuit] is responsible for transmitting the energy converted by the fire and steam furnace to every crystal structure in the spacecraft, activating the elemental structure of each area, and finally activating the entire spacecraft.

[Static loop] stops and extinguishes the entire crystal structure system. The safe and smooth landing of the airship completely depends on this loop.

When inspecting the double circuit, because the flying boat design itself needs to be as small as possible and have a small load, there is not enough space reserved for inspection and maintenance. This is not a problem for the Bone Ancestors. They can take apart their heads and arms and put them into those gaps for inspection and repair.

But for Joseph, it was a hell of a lot of work.

He had to suck his stomach - although he was neither fat nor exaggerated among the big elves, and had a well-proportioned body shape, but there was no way he could compare with those skeletons that had no flesh at all.

Every time he checked the circuit, he would get stuck in his neck or waist, and it would take a lot of effort to get out.

Regarding this point, maintenance staff have actually been protesting and demanding optimization. However, the transformation of airships is expensive. Although a small number of fourth-generation airships have been put into operation, the vast majority of those still in service are still third-generation aircraft.

Finally there is loneliness.

Joseph has always felt that as a tough guy, he would never feel lonely. That's a problem only weak boys encounter.

Besides, there are 14 maintenance personnel in Maintenance Station No. 77, and they are all very easy to talk to.

But after a year here, Joseph realized that he might have been wrong.

Loneliness is not about being alone in a deserted place, it can also be when you are alone in a place with many people, but you are incompatible with your surroundings.

Although he still appears cheerful and talkative, he can chat with every colleague. When he returned to the house and looked at the distant worlds beyond his reach outside the window, he felt even more lonely and insignificant.

Some people say that the sky covers people's eyes, so people don't dare to hope for places that are too high.

But only when he came to the orbit of Yunzhong Temple and lived in the Feizhou Ring Road far away from the land did he realize that the sky is a kind of protection for the small lives.

Looking too directly at the sun can burn your eyes.

Gaze into the infinite void, and the void will swallow you up.

Joseph felt a sense of insignificance and loneliness facing the infinite void, as if everything he cared about in the past became unimportant.

So what if I become a spaceship pilot?

Even those apostles on the ground who were powerful for an era are just a floating dust in the void.

Perhaps only gods are eternal.

Life loses its meaning in the face of this boundary beyond cognition.

Joseph was depressed.

He saw other skeleton maintenance workers doing boring work, always fulfilling their duties, and enduring the gaze from the void. If you want to stay here for a long time, perhaps you have to lose your life once like your colleagues before you can see everything clearly again.

He felt he should leave here.

Just when Joseph was about to resign and accept the scolding from captain Kepler, fate took a subtle turn.

This day was a routine security inspection that happens once every seven days, but instead of the skeleton inspection from before, it was a bright and cold red-lipped beauty who came. She has sharp and bright eyes, and her speech is concise, direct and clear. Even if she wears the heavy safety armor required for work, her bright and charming temperament cannot be concealed at all.

"My name is Leah, and I have been appointed as the senior safety inspection of Ring Road Line 4. From now on, I will be responsible for the routine inspection of Maintenance Station No. 77. I hope to work with everyone to do a good job in safety here."

"[Feizhou Ring Road Management Committee] In order to allow each region to respond faster, it is determined that crystal light circuits will be installed at each maintenance station to better complete the guidance of Feizhou..."

Joseph heard nothing.

His depressed heart was beating strongly and violently at this moment!

Now that neither money nor flying can make her happy, this beautiful girl has rekindled her long-dormant vitality and fighting spirit.

Joseph burst into tears.

When being stared at and eroded by the void, this beautiful senior inspector pulled himself up.

This is no longer a question of love between men and women, but a question of whether we can still have hope for the future and whether we still have nostalgia for life!

When the other party was leaving, Joseph walked over quickly: "Hello, Leah, my name is Joseph and I am a maintenance worker here. Nice to meet you!"

"Hello, Joseph, I wish you good luck in your work and life."

Leah smiled and waved, lowered her head and got into the airship to rush to the next checkpoint.

At this time, captain Kepler said to Joseph: "Miss Leah is very popular, but it is a pity that she is seriously ill..."

Joseph was puzzled: "According to my observation, Inspector Leah should be a vampire, right?"

Leah's sharp canine teeth, pale cheeks, red eyes, and flashing pupils are all characteristics of the vampire family.

"right."

"But don't vampires have a long lifespan? Is Leah inspection very old?"

"No, she's not that old, as far as I know."

Kepler recalled: "A researcher from the [Feizhou Ring Road Management Committee] she previously belonged to participated in the Feizhou's exploration mission to the [Magic Well] and suffered a crash in the spacecraft... Although she was rescued in the end, she was attacked by the magic well. The erosion of the well has caused irreversible damage. Although blood transfusion has been completed at the [blood mound], I heard that this rot will gradually infect the brain.”

"Lea was supposed to rest, but she insisted on coming back to work. It is said that her health has deteriorated seriously. Her eyes have become intermittent blind, and she often vomits blood and bleeds. I don't know how long she can last."

Joseph felt unhappy.

Such beautiful eyes can hardly see anything anymore.

He felt he had to do something.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to see her directly. Leah is running around. She is mainly busy repairing some technical areas of each maintenance station, and increasing the integration and linkage between the airship and the maintenance station. The purpose is to bring the maintenance station It's become more important... She's a workaholic," Captain Kepler said. "She'll be here next week."

A week later, Joseph saw Leah again, who came for inspection.

She seemed to be getting thinner, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and sometimes her vision became blurred, which may indicate that her blindness has become more serious. Leah was still in a hurry, Joseph managed to chat with her for a few words, and she left quickly.

Joseph racked his brains.

What can I do?

Technology, tinkering…

He couldn't help but think that if he could make some technical improvements, he should have the opportunity to sit down and chat with the other party face to face.

In the month since then, Joseph has been trying various methods to solve the most troublesome double-circuit problem at work.

Turn your brain around!

Keep up your hands and feet!

In order to keep his mind clear, he resumed high-intensity running, running wildly in the humanoid area of ​​​​the ring road whenever he had time. The faster he ran, the calmer he felt and the clearer his mind.

While running, the whole world seemed to have stopped. Joseph could clearly see the tracks drawn on the ground, every wrinkle of the soft leather boots under his feet, and the layers of his outer armor. Those muscles squeeze against each other rhythmically.

It’s [flow].

The flow that he had longed for as an athlete actually started under such circumstances.

Joseph drew on the years of experience provided by his fellow maintenance workers. He searched for answers in his memories of life in the southern continent, in his short career as an athlete, and in everything he observed while dancing...

Three months later, Joseph made a prop, which he called the "Magnetic Probe".

This prop consists of two parts, one is the magnetic element and the other is the special magnetic probe.

By pulling the magnetic elements into the double circuit, the flying boat can be inspected.

Magnetic elements react strongly with probes. Anyone can clearly see the magnetic elements uniformly adsorbed on the inner wall of the crystal on the crystal structure, and then through simple energy transmission through the fire and steam furnace, they can see whether the magnetic elements are leaking or partially blocked, and thus judge the current status of the entire circuit.

Dual-circuit detection no longer requires separation of the head and head, and there is no need to get stuck inside to suck the stomach. It can be completed with just one probe!

As soon as Joseph's invention was announced, Apostle [Fa Hai], the head of the Ring Road Flying Boat Management Committee, came personally. After confirming the tool's capabilities on site, he expressed congratulations and high praise to Joseph.

This high-status apostle talked with Joseph all day long. He asked Joseph for his experience and ideas, and invited him to become a researcher. Joseph didn't say no, but he asked to stay on the site because it gave him inspiration and everything - and most importantly, Leah was here.

Fahai gave him a dual identity with a wave of his hand.

No matter the congratulations and praises from the big shots, or the photography and interviews from the photographers, nothing could make Joseph happier than when he saw Leah.

"You made something amazing."

Leah, who is already blind, had a heartfelt smile on her face: "You have helped many people and made the entire ring road project a big step forward. Thank you, Joseph!"

Joseph was finally able to shake hands with her as an equal.

"...Miss Leah, is your illness hopeless?"

"Ah? What's hopeless?"

"Did something happen to you at the magic well and you became terminally ill..."

"It's true that something happened, but I'm just blind. I can walk, hear, and observe the world in other ways..." Leah was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said coldly: "Who said I was going to die? Who?"

Joseph's mind buzzed.

Spreading falsehoods is really harmful!

But... great!

"Miss Leah, what do you think of me?"

"You? You are very talented and have made great achievements. I would like to ask you for advice."

"Then will you marry me?"

"..."

Leah thought about it seriously: "I don't want to."

Sure enough, it still doesn't work.

Hearing this request, it was polite not to call yourself a lunatic.

Joseph didn't know why he said such words when his head was hot. Maybe Miss Leia had some kind of special attraction for him, which would invalidate his previous state and make him full of motivation and enthusiasm...

"Let's all start as friends." Leah suggested.

Joseph perked up.

"Okay, okay!"

The two started out as friends but got married a month later.

Then Joseph regretted it.
