Chapter 183 Aijieka Network

After leaving the Hat and Dagger Club, Colt took Tilan and Anneli to continue walking on campus. In the sun, the shadows of branches and flowers passed through the bodies of the three people and fell on the mottled ground. The sound of insects in the summer broke into the conversation of the three people.

"Although there are many clubs in the academy, the members are relatively scattered. The Hat and Dagger has 62 people, which is already a large club. There are only two clubs with more people than it." Colt explained.

"Do you see that birdcage-like building? That's the activity building of the Indigo Cornflower Club."

"Is it the whole building?"

Tilan looked at the building in the distance. The outside was made of blue transparent glass. Through the glass, you can see various flowers and plants inside. The whole building has five floors, and each floor has circular plants and flowers. The middle is the place for people to move around. The overall building looks very elegant and fairy-tale, and the decoration inside is also exquisite in style, quite aristocratic.

"Yes, there are about 120 members in the "Indigo Cornflower" club, and they are all women. They don't recruit male members. It is a gathering place for the ladies and young ladies in the school."

"What are their daily activities?" Although Tilan was not surprised that such ladies and young ladies gathered together, she was also curious about what they did on weekdays.

"Their activities are nothing surprising. They probably just drink tea, take care of flowers and plants, raise small animals, talk about fashion, have parties, go out and have fun together, etc." From Colt's tone, it seems that he doesn't like these young ladies.

"Although these young ladies seem harmless, they are difficult to control if they cause trouble. Moreover, they are relatively united internally. Once the club president sets a requirement, everyone must abide by it."

"There have been some pranks they made because of boredom in the past. For example, a member who lost a bet in the club had to confess to a poor boy in the school and date him for a month without revealing the truth."

"During this period, other members will secretly observe and record, and this fake relationship will become a long-term joke for this member in school."

"What will happen after a month?" Anneli suddenly became interested.

"Of course, they will dump that boy, and even dump him in some humiliating way, so as to wash their reputation and show that they are "noble" and "just playing" or "flirting". If they really admit that they like the other person, they will probably be mercilessly laughed at in their group." Colt pushed his glasses and said in a cold voice.

"Has Colt encountered something similar?" Tilan noticed something.

"I haven't encountered this, but a friend of mine has, and it led to his later dropout."

"This..." Anneli didn't want to ask any more questions.

The three of them walked into the birdcage-like blue building. The interior was much cooler and more comfortable than the outside. The first floor seemed very quiet, probably used to receive outsiders. There were no members here, only a few self-disciplined units standing still.

"Please show your identity. Non-members of 'Indigo Cornflower' cannot go upstairs." A half-human-high self-disciplined unit slowly moved under the drive of the base roller.

"I am Colt, a member of the student union. I hope to go upstairs to meet your president." Colt stretched out his left hand, and the chip in his wrist was read by the self-disciplined unit. His identity portrait and basic information appeared on the screen.

"Received, please wait, connecting..." The self-disciplined unit stopped.

Soon after, the front screen of the self-disciplined unit lit up green, and then made way.

"The application is approved. The president allows you to go upstairs. Please go this way." It led the three people into the elevator and then went in together.

Soon, the elevator stopped after reaching the fourth floor, and then the self-discipline unit led people out and continued forward.

Along the way, you can see many small spaces separated by grids, with round tables and chairs inside, and potted plants around. Occasionally, you can see members gathering in groups of three or four to chat and drink tea, and occasionally play card games and fiddle with flowers and plants together.

These young ladies are fashionable and good at dressing up. When they see the three people passing by, they will turn their eyes curiously, but no one comes out to ask questions.

Leading the three people into the depths of the garden grid, a woman wearing a layered cream-style dress and a big spiral of blonde hair is sitting at the table. She has a plump figure, a blue tear-shaped pendant on the side of her ear, and her dress is also dotted with sparkling gems. The style is very luxurious and luxurious.

In addition to her, there is also a girl dressed as a butler standing behind her in this grid. Her dark blue hair is tied into a small knot behind her head, which is very capable.

"Long time no see, Colt." Seeing the three people coming, she put down the cup of tea she was drinking from and looked up.

"Good afternoon, President Cesarens." Colt still saluted with standard etiquette, then looked up and introduced the two people beside him.

"This is Tilan and Miss Anneli. Miss Tilan will be the new member of our student union and will be responsible for related matters in the future." He introduced briefly.

"Oh, are you Tilan?"

Cesarens bent her fingers slightly, propped her head sideways and looked at the black-haired new member wearing glasses. She has been sitting since Colt came in, and she didn't get up. It seems that she didn't mean to let Colt sit down at this time.

"I've heard of your name. Recently, the kid Jinsenke joined your club." She then picked up the teacup in front of her, blew a breath, and then took a sip with her red lips, her behavior was indifferent.

"New member of the student union, I know, is there anything else, Colt." Putting down the cup, she continued to look at Colt.

Frowning slightly, Colt continued, "This time I not only brought Miss Tilan to familiarize herself with the process, but also wanted to inform Cesarens that the members of your club have been too high-profile in showing off their wealth and booking the entire venue in South District 1 recently."

"High-profile?"

"Colt, are you aware of your identity?"

"Whether it is me or the members of my club, it is not your turn to make comments. I warned you before that if it were not for President Amors, you would have been taught a lesson by me long ago."

"Yes, I am indeed protected by President Amors, so I can stand in front of you and speak, but your club's actions include but are not limited to booking the entire venue in the busy streets of South District 1, customizing thousands of cakes and then wasting them all, inviting some celebrity actors to perform on a small stage alone and then humiliating them in person, and taking over all the billboards in the Spiral Leaf Square to broadcast live recordings in order to celebrate a friend's birthday, and so on." "

These actions will only make outsiders see the extravagant and decadent side of the students of Edes Academy, and give them a bad impression."

"Enough!" The other party raised his eyebrows, then waved his hand and asked the deacon behind him to drive the guests away.

"Originally, I thought that with the newcomers present today, you would be more polite, but it seems that I was wrong, Colt, you are still that impulsive and ignorant monkey, you deserve to be eliminated from the academy like your friends."

"Jian Yan, let them go, I don't want to see the faces of outsiders today."

"Yes, Miss Cesarens." Then the capable female deacon walked towards Colt and made a gesture of invitation to him.

Taking a deep breath, Colt calmed down, made an apologetic gesture to Tilan, and then walked away slowly with the two of them.

On the way down the elevator, Colt explained the conflict he had with the president before.

"After my classmate dropped out of school, he went to Cesarens to argue, but was ridiculed by her, saying that my friend was making a fuss and had poor psychological quality. I was very angry at the time and almost got into a fight, but was later stopped by the companions sent by President Amorth."

"The incident passed later, and I thought I had let it go, but when I saw Cesarens today, I was stimulated by her tone and couldn't help but burst out. I'm very sorry." Colt explained the reason.

"It's okay, let's talk to President Cesarens alone in the future." Tilan shook her head. She could see that Colt should be a very calm and rational person, but she didn't expect that his behavior just now was indeed a bit abnormal. It seems that what happened that year left him with some shadows.

"The "Indigo Cornflower" Club may require Miss Tilan to visit it herself in the future. Next, I will take you to the "Black Shirt Walker" Club. This club has the most members in our school, about 200 people."

"I don't think I've heard much about it?" Tilan thought about it for a while.

"Because their club is quite special, you have to be at least a sophomore to join." Colt led the way in front.

"Does Tilan know about the Aigeka Network?"

"I know a little about it."

"The Aigeka Network is an information channel built on the Aigeka Sea. It is also a rare way of communicating faster than the speed of light. However, the information between star fields is too vast and too much, so the networks between star fields are generally synchronized once every three days. For example, if a star in the Cuiyue Star Field releases a new album, ordinary people will generally find the information online three days later."

"But since I mentioned ordinary people, there are naturally non-ordinary ways to obtain information in a timely manner. That is to use the Aigeka Network to project one's consciousness into it, instantly cross space, and browse the interstellar networks of other star fields. This way of traveling through the Aigeka information network is also called immersive deep diving, which is somewhat similar to watching immersive movies. It obtains information very quickly and is more likely to produce side effects."

"Generally speaking, only adults who are 20 years old or above and Sequence 3 or above can enter this network, and the equipment for immersive deep diving is very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it at all."

"However, for Edes Academy, this equipment is very popular. As long as the students are above Sequence 4 and over 17 years old, they can apply to use this equipment in advance."

"Members of the 'Blackshirt Walker' community are all members who have been immersed in the Aijaka network for a long time. They will gather together to exchange techniques used in immersive deep diving, such as how to recover quickly, how to keep their mental state from going crazy, how to alleviate side effects, how to protect their consciousness during deep diving, how to fight in the Aijaka network, etc."

"It should be reminded that no matter how to alleviate it, maintaining this kind of projection for a long time and receiving various information flows at high density and high speed will cause a shock and load to the brain, which may cause nausea, vomiting, and mental weakness at the mildest, and mental disorder, madness, etc. at the worst, so this kind of immersive equipment should be used with caution."

"Okay, we're here." After saying that, the three stopped in front of a black building. The building was like a flattened can, a little flat, but also very large, with four floors and covering thousands of square meters.

After entering the building, the environment was very quiet. Only some backlights were illuminated inside. It was very dark, but it also made people feel a little relieved.

After verifying their identities in front of the self-discipline unit, they entered the second floor. The interior was like a movie theater, pitch black, but there were immersion cabins standing side by side in the hall. Some cabins had a light blue light inside, illuminating the surroundings.

When they got closer, they saw that people were lying in the cabins with light. They were covered with circular luminous goggles, their bodies were fixed in the cabins, and occasionally their fingers and feet would move, as if they were having a special dream.

Soon, three young men in black hoodies came over. They wore sunglasses, their hands were in the pockets of their hoodies, and they were wearing casual pants and sneakers.

"Hey, long time no see, Colt, are you coming to play today too? I found a lot of excellent movies on the Internet recently, and I will send them to you later."

"Ahem." Colt looked serious, indicating that he had companions with him.

"Oh, who are these two beauties?" The black-shirted man in the lead came closer, took off his sunglasses, and looked up and down.

"This is Tilan, a new member of our student union. I brought her here to familiarize herself with the situation." Colt introduced.

"Tilan, nice to meet you, my name is Taifu." His skin was a little dark, and he wanted to shake hands with the quiet girl.

However, the girl here was a little uncomfortable with this sudden physical contact, and Colt on the side stopped her in time.

"Okay, Taifu, let's talk about business." He led the topic over.

"It will take up a little of your time today. You need to introduce Tilan to the immersion infiltration and the usual situation of your club. It's her first time here, so she needs to understand the situation. Tilan will also be an important member of our student union in the future. With her help and understanding, the restrictions of your club will be much better."

"Oh, that's a really good thing. If the restrictions can be relaxed a little, our entire club can immediately support Miss Tilan to become the new student union president." Although his tone was a bit joking, it might not be untrue.

"Go prepare some snacks, and some drinks, normal ones, we have to entertain our guests today." Taifu instructed the two companions behind him, and then took the three of them to the private room in the round hall on one side of the hall. There was a light here, which was much brighter than the dark hall.

After the few people sat down, Taifu took off his hood, sat on the circular sofa, and then swiped the projection panel on the table, and a soothing jazz music sounded in the private room.

"Miss Tilan, is this your first time to contact the Aikeka network?"

"Yes, I've only heard of it before." The girl shook her head.

"Indeed, it is not easy for ordinary people in the outside world to contact this. Only some big cities have special Internet cafes for logging in, and the fees are expensive, and it may not be safe." He knocked on the table while thinking about where to start.

"The Aikeka network is based on the information channel of the Aikeka Sea. The countless information existing in it can be said to have constructed a virtual world beyond reality. Entering it is like entering another world, a world of strange and wonderful things, and countless possibilities." He used his hands as a metaphor, as if a door was opened.

"However, projecting your consciousness into this kind of online world is also very risky. If you don't stay in the safe zone, or visit in the prescribed manner, or are tricked into entering the dangerous black area, you may be attacked."

"It is your consciousness that enters the network, and you cannot rely on the magic power and body in your real body to fight. Even a Sequence 7 strongman is prone to accidents if he encounters an experienced and cruel hacker on the network." "

Although I have mentioned the dangers, there are also many benefits."

"First, you can always learn some information earlier and faster than others, such as cutting-edge technologies, topics, discoveries, etc. in various star domains, play some games that have never been operated and sold in this star domain, watch movies and TV series shot in other star domains, and find some rare and unpopular information in this star domain."

"Second, it is interaction. In reality, traveling across star domains is not only extremely expensive, but also time-consuming. However, in the Aijieka network, you can easily interact with the landers from other star domains. This kind of interaction is not only about communication, but also about entering the other party's preset spiritual space. If the other party is strong enough, you can even see the scenes composed of some of her memories."

"There are even many idols on the Internet who specialize in this business. They run their own 'rooms' and attract all kinds of tourists to watch. Among them, there are her singing performances, gossips, talks about certain topics, discussions on current affairs, sharing life, etc. Compared with ordinary Internet idols, you can have more immersive contact in the Aijieka network. For example, you can rotate the goods displayed by the other party 360 degrees to watch, touch and feel the touch, and even smell certain smells, just like in reality."

"This experience is really better than today's film and television videos. People who have been exposed to the Aijiaka network can no longer bear to watch those poor and monotonous videos. Only immersive movies can be compared. In fact, immersive movies are a weakened and improved Aijiaka network experience, but it uses a safer illusion crystal mist instead of directly connecting with neural consciousness."

"For certain unpopular skills that you can't find in reality, you can easily find relevant senior teachers on the Internet, and under his guidance, you can experience and learn in an immersive way, just like in reality. Or a senior doctor can use the neural information feedback of the Aijiaka network to perform surgery on patients in a remote hospital in other star fields. Finally, it can be applied to war, such as sitting at home and controlling drones to fight hundreds of light years away."

"This technology is definitely beneficial, otherwise it would not have developed so rapidly. However, because we are in school, we are still subject to a lot of restrictions when using related equipment, such as the length of time each day and restrictions on certain behaviors on the Internet."

"If we can relax a little, our club will also bring more glory and achievements to the academy." He opened his hands, looking pious and fanatical, as if he was a loyal believer in the Internet.
