Chapter 9 It's Nice To Be Young
Modern people have a high degree of freedom in their work compared to before. In a task-like model, when they reach their work points, they can freely arrange their personal time without staying in the office.
Lanxun Technology owns a whole building in Xindu. It is around four o'clock in the afternoon. Su Nuan from the Planning Department packs up her desk and prepares to get off work.
"Have you received a good contest script today?" asked the colleague around you.
"No, I have read hundreds of copies, and the quality is very poor. I'm afraid this year will be worse than last year." Su Nuan said helplessly.
She is one of the main judges of the '2120' annual script solicitation event and also a game planner of Lanxun Technology. She is the development bridge between the script and the game world. Without a good script, she naturally cannot develop a wonderful game world.
"I feel like if this continues, the company will have a big problem." My colleague sighed.
"There will be a solution. I'll get off work and see you tomorrow."
"Yeah, see you tomorrow."
Su Nuan walked out of the Lanxun Technology Building and lived not far from home. She usually walked to work.
A huge flying train flew over her head, bringing a light breeze that blew her long hair.
For Su Nuan, who was born in this era, she had long been accustomed to flying in the sky with various means of transportation and was not worried that they would fall suddenly.
The road is lined with flower beds and street trees. New Year is not as warm as spring every year. Various flowers embellish this sky city.
Su Nuan walked slowly, the ordinary days were quiet, simple, without waves, and every day was monotonous repetition. No matter the seasons changed or the passage of time, as usual, everyone felt like they had set up a program from birth, without surprises or surprises.
If Su Nuan’s only expectation now is that she will go to the “Earth” to experience life every day after get off work.
She prefers the different self in the game.
However, just yesterday, Lanxun Technology received the highest federal government order, and the popular "Earth" game around the world will face forced server clearance.
Not only the ‘earth’, but other game worlds will also be strictly reviewed. The review standard is only one ‘anti-addiction’. Any game that easily leads players to become addicted to it will be forced to close.
With the barbaric development of virtual reality, a huge crisis has occurred in human society. If this continues, human beings will sooner or later become a string of numbers living in the virtual world.
This one-size-fits-all solution is also a helpless move. Humans must come out of the game experience cabin.
Lanxun Technology's employees are also panicked about this government order. The latest version of "Earth" is about to be suppressed just now. Where should Lanxun Technology, which focuses on the game world, go in the future?
In this era, unemployment is a terrible thing.
...
"Ba! General!"
A loud shout from the old man came from his ear, and then a chess piece slapped heavily on the chessboard.
Su Nuan heard the sound and looked over. It turned out that there was someone playing chess on a stone table and chair next to her.
The game was an old man in his 80s and a young man in his early twenties. There were two old men watching chess around them, busy giving advice to the young man.
"Young man, listen to me, don't fly to the elephant, you will get the sergeant in this chess!"
"What kind of bad chess are you playing..."
The young man was so angry that he was so angry that he tapped his chess piece with his fingers and moved it a few squares.
"Bang! Put it again!"
The old man should take advantage of the victory and pursue the game. The sound of making a move must be loud and he must slapped hard on the chessboard so that he can be strong.
Su Nuan found it interesting, so she stopped to watch it for a while. This scene was really rare. After all, in Xindu, except for office workers, you can't see such leisurely young people, let alone playing ancient games like chess.
The young man seemed to notice someone was looking at him, so he looked up and then met Su Nuan.
Su Nuan was a little embarrassed, so she quickly looked away and continued to walk forward.
But the face of the young man appeared in my mind, strange... Why do you seem to have seen it somewhere...
It looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it.
The young man was Xu Zhou. After calculating, he went out to buy vegetables with Alice. Seeing someone playing chess, Xu Zhou came to join in the fun and asked Alice to go shopping for vegetables by herself.
Xu Zhou naturally had no impression of the girl just now, and just thought she was a passerby. Although she was very beautiful and elegant, she would remember her appearance at a glance.
"Oh, I lost and lost. I was in a bad state today. The main reason is that you are too noisy."
Xu Zhou gave up the chess and admitted defeat. After he finished typing, he would go to the park near his home for a walk. Naturally, he played a lot of chess with the old man in the park. He knew one truth well, he could admit defeat, but he must not admit that his skills were not as good as others, otherwise the old men would not play with you again.
Only those who have strong mouths can challenge those who have strong mouths.
The three old men are both in their eighties and nineties, and their bodies look very strong. They always stay at home and feel so anxious that they will make an appointment to play chess and cards here.
Nowadays, young people can't play games, and they are afraid that their hearts will not be able to hold back their burps.
People always get old, and they tend to get nostalgic when they get old. Compared to what young people play with today, they miss the era when they were young.
While holding the chess piece, Old Man Liu asked Xu Zhou: "How old is the young man?"
Xu Zhou put his hands in his jacket pocket, and his face was very rich. Whether it was his "arrogance" or his "exciting" when playing chess, or his "die and never admit his own food" and "losed because you were beside him". From Xu Zhou, the old men seemed to see young people from the past, and I really miss it.
Of course, this is what the old men saw. Xu Zhou always felt calm, resourceful, and not arrogant or impatient.
"I, born in the 1990s."
Xu Zhou smiled, he didn't lie, he was born in 1998.
"Twenty-two, so young."
The old men nodded, and they naturally thought that Xu Zhou was born in 2098.
"What era are you born?" Xu Zhou asked back.
"Old Zhang and I are born in the 1940s and Lao Li are born in the 1930s." Old Man Liu said.
Xu Zhou nodded and sighed: "I have been separated from me for half a century."
The three old men nodded in agreement. It’s great to be young, they are all old.
The time was almost over, and the three old men's nanny robots also came over to take them back. On the other hand, Ellie also drove a motorcycle and parked next to Xu Zhou.
"Hello, three old men." Ellie said well.
"good."
After the chess was closed, Old Man Liu did not forget to greet Xu Zhou, "I'll play chess again the next day. Now these young people hide at home all day. You are different from them, so you're gone."
"Let's go slowly."
Xu Zhou also turned around and stepped onto the motorcycle, skillfully hugged Ellie's slim waist, and with a whistle, Ellie drove Xu Zhou home.
"Xu Zhou, I bought pork belly tonight!"
"Then do you like to eat double-cooked pork or braised pork?"
"I want to eat it!"
As dusk approached, Ellie drove her beloved motorcycle and passed a faint golden color in the sky. She talked to Xu Zhou, and occasionally let go of her hands to perform her driving skills, which scared Xu Zhou's face turned pale.
After returning home, Ellie helped peel the garlic, Xu Zhou processed the ingredients and started cooking.
When Xu Zhou was busy, Ellie stayed by his side and looked forward to it, sniffing it with her little nose, like a range hood.
Xu Zhou held the spatula and said funny: "Just go outside and wait for food. Why are you jumping around here?"
"Ally wants to see you cook! I want to learn too!"
Ellie likes the cooking process. It’s great to think about it when watching the ingredients cook into delicious dishes step by step.
I usually use a smart chef to cook, but I don’t even have any fireworks. Put the ingredients in and take them out and it’s a dish. Without the fun of cooking by myself, I feel that eating is just to meet physical needs.
Unlike now, Ellie is full of expectations for supper.
Xu Zhou made dishes, and what the machine made can only be called food.
"Xu Zhou, what is the point of cooking?"
Xu Zhou was frying sugar color. The rock sugar was cooked on low heat and slowly turned into a maroon. After coloring the braised pork, the meat will have a slight caramel flavor.
"Hmm? Color, fragrance and taste. For a more advanced dish, you have to pay attention to form and meaning, mainly depending on the feeling."
"Does every chef taste the same?"
"no the same."
Xu Zhou smiled and stretched out his finger to flick Ellie's smooth forehead.
"When you get used to the dishes I cook, then the dishes I cook will taste home."
Ellie blinked her eyes, and she was looking forward to it just thinking about it~
