Chapter 406 The second person is about to wake up?

In the afternoon, she tried several strings of code and found that they all worked. The code the system gave her was quite advanced and the algorithm was very unique. After writing so many, she couldn't help but become curious about the Tianguang system.

For a massive system that could support 3,000 worldviews running simultaneously, its core algorithm had to be extremely powerful, its architecture had to be extremely stable, and its system network security had to be extremely airtight. Gu Nan felt incredible just thinking about it.

Only at this moment did she finally understand why Yi Jingrong attached so much importance to everything she experienced in the cyber world. The research on the integration of emotion and data was full of fascinating charm.

If the awakening project of the Tianguang Rehabilitation Research Center is successful, it will be a highly impactful reform for the medical field, the computer industry, and even the entertainment industry.

Of course, this was just her superficial opinion. As a software worker with no work experience, Gu Nan didn't know much about the Tianguang project and could only make such a superficial guess.

To be honest, the job she found after graduation was very suitable for her major, but looking at the entire computer industry, it was actually very ordinary.

There are thousands of programmers like her in the world, and they are constantly being replaced. She is highly replaceable.

There is a joke on the Internet that 35 is the death date for programmers.

It’s not absolute, but the 35-year-old rule can apply to most programmers, and some even change careers before the age of 35.

High salary, high pressure, heavy workload, and a short golden career period are the labels of programmers.

Gu Nan is 24 years old this year and has had a two-year gap, but it is understandable that she is not pursuing a big company. It is not difficult for her to find a new job with her resume, but that's all.

In a few years, when she was in her thirties, her competitiveness declined and her career crisis came.

These days, Gu Nan has been thinking about her future career plan. Until today, when she touched the computer, she came up with a bold idea: to learn algorithms.

This goes against her major and career plan, but she is full of expectations for the new and more challenging field.

She was eager to try, fantasizing about breaking free from the constraints of her profession, broadening her horizons, and seeing how far she could go.

She wanted to see how far this new brain could develop its potential.

She wanted to try to continue fulfilling her dream, this time the focus was not on being a programmer, but on being outstanding.

She had lost everything before, and now she was afraid of nothing.

Gu Nan paused, rubbed his fingers which were beginning to lose strength, and let out a sigh of relief.

But don't be impatient. First solve the current difficulties and generate income as soon as possible.

As the night deepened, the lights in the orphanage gradually dimmed and there was a gentle knock on the door.

Gu Nan got up and opened the door. Gu Wangnan handed her a cup of hot milk and gently reminded her, "Drink the milk and go to bed early. Recover your health first. Don't worry about making money. Mom can support you."

His tense nerves relaxed instantly because of Gu Wangnan's words. Gu Nan laughed and said, "Okay."

After closing the door, Gu Nan finished drinking the milk and sat in front of the computer for a while. At 11 o'clock, he turned off the computer and went to bed on time.

Such a peaceful life was fulfilling and comfortable until three days later when Yi Jingrong suddenly visited.

"I want to ask you for help with something, but it's not easy to say it over the phone, so I can only take the liberty of visiting you." Yi Jingrong said.

"What help?" Gu Nan sat down opposite her and glanced at the boy next to her.

The other person was carrying a backpack, wearing a mask and a hat, and kept his head down, with not even a hair showing. But looking at his figure, Gu Nan confirmed that he was not anyone she had seen in the research center.

Gu Wangnan brought some cold tea and then sat down next to Gu Nan. "Anan's body hasn't recovered well yet, so he might not be able to do anything too strenuous."

Yi Jingrong quickly said: "I just want to ask a few questions. Don't worry, it won't affect her recovery."

She wasn't very good at socializing, so she didn't say anything polite. She got straight to the point, "I'm very curious about your experience and want to know more details. I hope you can tell me more."

Perhaps her mindset had changed, as Gu Nan wasn't as repulsive to Yi Jingrong's probing, but she wasn't eager either. After all, she didn't have the habit of discussing the details of her relationship with others. "Wasn't what I said last time enough?"

"I've encountered a difficult choice and would like to seek your advice for further discussion. The system's signal for awakening you is the realization of the falsehood of the world. Besides that, do you believe death is a necessary condition for awakening?"

Gu Nan held the cold tea and did not respond immediately.

As the project leader, Yi Jingrong should be in charge of the research center. The problem that made her come to Qingcheng in person must be very difficult, but she was able to give constructive suggestions?

Gu Nan's gaze shifted to the boy next to Yi Jingrong, "Who is this?"

The boy raised his head slightly, but the brim of his hat was pulled down too low, so Gu Nan couldn't see anything clearly.

Yi Jingrong glanced at the boy, then at Gu Nan, and said, "A patient's family member."

Gu Nan became interested, "Is the second person about to wake up?"

"If it goes well."

Gu Nan: "Is the background also a future cyberpunk?"

"His background is rather complicated and can't be explained in a few words, but it does bear some resemblance to yours."

Gu Nan could tell Yi Jingrong wasn't too keen on revealing the second patient's information. Ultimately, this was all about saving lives, so he changed the subject and said, "I think so. The system's designated way for me to escape is death."

"If there is no setting, is death still useful?"

Gu Nan thought for a moment, "It depends on the setting. If I die the first few times and survive the next time, which doesn't meet expectations, I might not be so determined. If I survive the first few times and die again later, I might hesitate... It depends on the situation."

People's thoughts change rapidly, and a slight change can trigger a butterfly effect. In a dangerous world, the closer you are to returning home, the more sensitive you become, the more extreme your emotions become, and your judgment becomes impaired. It is hard to say whether luck played a big role in her being able to come back at that time.

Gu Nan's gaze unconsciously fell on the boy again. He still kept his head down, not speaking or drinking tea, as if he was in a different world from them.

From the sound of their voices, it seems that his relatives are at the critical moment of waking up. Yi Jingrong brought him here, but he didn't speak or show up. Is he suffering from social phobia or is there another hidden secret?

"Is the kid still studying?"

"I'm in high school and will take the college entrance exam next year." Yi Jingrong answered for him, then leaned back on the sofa and sighed tiredly.

She didn't say anything else. For a moment, the reception room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Seeing this, Gu Wangnan stood up and went to the kitchen. Gu Nan asked, "Which choice is so difficult for you?"

Yi Jingrong smiled bitterly.

How could it not be difficult? Her career might depend on this choice.

She looked at the boy sitting next to her with his head bowed, "What do you want to say?"
