Chapter 234 Hong Fu
After hearing the hint, Chen Chuan directly refused: "No need."
The sound then disappeared.
He washed his face first, then began to pack his things.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a voice from the internet informed him that the purchasing agent would be downstairs in ten minutes and asked if he needed the school security to deliver the goods to the dormitory door, but a certain fee would be deducted.
He did not save the money, saying he needed it.
After another quarter of an hour, the prompt sounded. He went to open the door, took a box from the security guard, thanked him, closed the door, and returned to the room.
He put the box on the table and opened it. There was no ice cubes or anything like that in Lao Qi's box. There was only a packaging bag buried deep in the thick cushioning pad.
He took out the thing, removed the packaging, and found that it was an almost transparent eye mask. But upon closer inspection, there seemed to be tiny tubular veins inside, and at the back were thin bone tubes extending backwards that could wrap around the head and face, forming a bony buckle at the back of the neck.
If you don't look carefully, you will hardly notice the existence of this thing when you wear it, and you will only think of it as a decoration. Although it looks light, it is very strong. Moreover, because it is a biological material, it can repair itself after being damaged by soaking in a suitable nutrient solution.
This thing is worth 3,520 Jianyuan coins, but there are ones that cost tens of thousands of yuan or even more. The best ones are custom-made. This price is still a relatively cheap and affordable general-purpose product, but you need to pay some extra purchasing fees.
He took off the bone mask and put this thing on. He felt the fibrous bone tubes stretching themselves, surrounding the auricle and closing at the neck.
The moment after tapping, he found that it was indeed different. The flickering lights and shadows outside the building became clearer and more vivid. In terms of functions, first of all, he no longer needed to use boundary points to contact and add personnel, and he could also query various interfaces and services.
The biggest difference from the bone mask is that it can receive images. It forms a light curtain between half a foot and one foot in front of the body, which can be read and communicated with fingers and voice, and can also remove invalid light and shadow pollution that you don't want to see.
Only now did he realize that the old model of bone mask had no choice but to stuff all the information around it. If it weren't for him, an ordinary person would definitely feel dizzy and vomit if they couldn't get used to it, but there was no guarantee that anyone would like it.
At this moment, he looked at the contact interface. There were currently two contacts. Lao Qi's personal communication screen showed a cool man wearing fingerless gloves and gesturing with a short knife.
Tan Zhi is different in that he is a scholar dressed in ancient clothes, with a feather fan and a scarf. The feather fan in his hand is gently waving, and there is the sound of flowing water and guqin.
In addition to this, there was a message that came in half an hour ago, followed by an evaluation inquiry from the transit agency.
Chen Chuan directly clicked on the "Good" column, then swiped away from the interface and began to search for other things. He first looked up some things that some students in the academy must know, then he thought about it and began to search for "biofield interactive link technology".
This time the results came quickly.
Biofield technology emerged as early as seventy years ago. It is based on a super-large group of mimetic organisms. Through transfer nodes and biological contact parts, the individual biofields located therein are merged and integrated into the field links they accommodate.
It is a huge biological community that spreads throughout the central city. Each boundary point is its neuronal tentacle, through which individuals can strengthen their connection with it, and the boundary certificate is the port that directly interacts with the human body. It allows the field to recognize and confirm each individual, so that they can express and exchange information with each other within the field.
The consciousness body is the center responsible for processing huge amounts of information. It is divided into active consciousness bodies and inactive consciousness bodies. Inactive consciousness bodies are spread throughout the city, helping and processing countless information flows every day, but they are relatively rigid and will not make any responses beyond the granted authority.
Posha, the central city's consciousness, is an active consciousness. It directly reports to government and public authorities, independently making optimal decisions based on external circumstances. It possesses a massive body, somewhere between plant and animal, and is heavily protected by government security.
Each company in the central city has an independent active biological consciousness to serve it, and each has a code name, such as Wu Yi's "Hong Fu".
Her body is buried deep in the "Swallow Boat" located underground in the Xuan Palace, but her tentacles extend to every corner of Wuyi. She can guard against the invasion of other creatures' consciousness, and can also take the initiative to attack when necessary.
She can disconnect from the Mother of the Cicada at any time, forming an independent bio-field entity to maintain the use of Wuyi's internal personnel. In fact, Wuyi's daily use does not go through the Mother of the Cicada.
That’s the general introduction in the interface, which is for the public. However, it does not provide a detailed description of how these things and technologies were developed and the detailed process.
To query further, you need to increase your permissions.
Most people probably have no interest in knowing about this thing because it is too far away from them. Most people just want to enjoy the convenience brought by these things and don’t want to know where they came from.
What’s interesting is that under such technical conditions, the upper echelons still attach great importance to fighters. Wuyi College is located in the second largest district of the central city, occupying an area alone, surrounded by state-owned enterprises and companies with good cooperative relations.
When Chen Chuan found that he could not find any more information, he deleted an advertisement that had been inserted there and started to check the news in the central city. Most of the news was about violent incidents in the downtown area.
Downtown is just a general term, not a distinct area. Most of its residents are those without formal or temporary status, making up the vast majority of the Central City's population. The real "Downtown" is the vast slums beneath the Central City.
At this time, he noticed a piece of news. At about four o'clock this afternoon, the algae oil power plant in the northern industrial zone of the city was bombed, causing power outages in a large area there. The city's public security forces blocked several major streets and city entrances and exits, and the blockade continues until now.
That's probably why we encountered a patrol car on the road today.
However, we have seen a lot of armed company security in the news and on-screen scenes, so things should not be that simple.
After some inquiries, he saw that it was already half past nine, so he took out his certificate, went to the shower room to take a shower, changed his clothes and went to bed, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
At five o'clock the next morning, he woke up on time, opened the curtains, went to the bathroom to wash up, and took out a few nutritional pastes from the freezer to eat.
After coming out, he walked to the window. Looking down from where he was standing, he estimated that the height was about three hundred meters. From here, he could overlook most of the city.
At this time, the sky was not completely bright yet, and the lingering sea fog was floating around some tall buildings, making them appear and disappear. Gray-blue broken clouds were scattered in the sky, and a golden-red halo was pressing on one end of the horizon.
The sun is about to rise.
This is a world without any boundaries. In Lao Qi's words, it is a false central city, not its true appearance.
Chen Chuan remembered that when Jing Lin met him, he kept talking about the real world. The underlying meaning should be everything behind the world. Immersed in this biological field and enjoying conveniences that are difficult to enjoy outside, one will indeed have a sense of psychological superiority and looking down on people outside.
But this situation is actually very abnormal.
Cheng Zitong told him that the world is divided into one circle after another. This is partly due to actual circumstances and partly due to artificial divisions.
He could feel that behind this so-called real world there was actually something deeper and unknown hidden.
However, he had a hunch that as his strength increased, even if he did not take the initiative to contact them, these things would sooner or later slowly reveal themselves to him.
After watching for a while, he began to do the most important thing after entering school.
He took the diploma from the table and walked into the 400-square-meter private training room, connected to the biological consciousness of Wuyi Academy, and began to inquire about the courses he needed to study after admission.
After entering the Wuyi Academy interface, a voice rang in my ears:
"We've detected that student Chen Chuan is in the freshman orientation period. The academy needs to conduct a basic test and potential assessment on him to confirm whether he meets the learning standards and is capable of completing his studies. Would you like to conduct the test now? If so, please call 'Hong Fu'."
After hearing this, Chen Chuan said, "Hongfu, I need to take an entrance test now."
And at the moment he submitted the application, he saw the woman in red who was standing on the eaves last night appeared in the training room. At close range, the look in her eyes behind her veil looked even more lively. Unlike last night, she had a goose-feather knife hanging from her waist with a red tassel tied at the end of the handle.
"I saw you use a knife and thought you might like knives, so I brought one with me."
Although the main body is the same, her voice is completely different from what I heard before in the interactive world. It is heroic, very pleasant, vivid and emotional.
She seemed to be a more independent individual, more like a living person.
Chen Chuan said politely, "Thank you."
Hongfu's eyes fixed on him for a moment, and she waved her hand gently. The surrounding scene suddenly changed. The clouds and mist rolled around, countless peaks rose and fell, and thousands of feet of golden light shot from the side.
Chen Chuan found himself standing on one of the peaks, and Hong Fu was not far away on the opposite side, and the two were confronting each other from a distance.
Hongfu said, "Draw your sword."
Chen Chuan was a little surprised. The scene before him was all illusory. Could this kind of test really detect one's true level? However, since the other party had made this choice, there must be a reason.
He nodded, held the Xuejun Sword horizontally in front of him, held the scabbard in his hand, and gently pushed it to the side. The entire scabbard flew out, revealing the blade with a cold glow.
When Hongfu saw him draw his sword, she grasped the handle of the goose-feather sword with her slender white fingers and pulled it out with a clang. With a flash of red, her dress fluttered, and she was in front of Chen Chuan in an instant, slashing at him with the sword.
Chen Chuan did not use the second self to overlap this time, but he could still see her movements clearly. He raised his knife and swung it, making a sound of metal clashing. Suddenly, a strong force came from it, causing his feet to sink slightly.
His eyes narrowed slightly. This feeling was definitely not an illusion. Could the person he was facing at this moment be a real person?
