285 The Eleventh Store
◎Open a small window for the soul.◎
When Lu Yao packed the twentieth order, Xiu Qi finally spoke.
The two guests opposite had just sat down and were looking for books they were interested in.
The shop owner was busy packing, and the guests who squeezed into the virtual live broadcast room with fast internet speed were happy to temporarily fill in for the host, while paying attention to the message strips on the message screen, and specially picked books that other viewers were interested in to try. The substitute
host was also very happy to interact with netizens, and the live broadcast room was suddenly filled with a strong "academic atmosphere".
Xiu Qi sat up slightly, and suddenly reached out and touched the shop owner's arm.
"Before entering the live broadcast room, I lost consciousness in the Black Star 38 Sea Area." Lu Yao
kept moving his hands, turned his head to look at Xiu Qi, and chatted: "Then how did you enter this live broadcast room?"
After Xiu Qi said the coordinates of "Black Star 38 Sea Area", the audience in the live broadcast room seemed to have heard something strange, and the message screen quickly scrolled across the message screen with shock or questioning messages.
There was a dream-fulfilling system that monitored the message screen in real time, but it did not give an alarm, and Lu Yao did not pay attention.
Xiu Qi propped up one leg on the chair and leaned back on it. He folded his hands behind his head and said casually: "The mechanical body is damaged to the point that only the brain and two remaining parts are left. I am ready to die. While I was groggy, I heard a voice that kept whispering in my ear. When I regained consciousness, I opened my eyes and saw you on the suspended light screen. Now that I think about it, fortunately the chip connecting the star ring and the optical computer was on one of the remaining parts."
The reason why Xiu Qi entered the bookstore's live broadcast room was probably because after he lost consciousness, the optical computer's self-rescue system started running and helped him connect.
His mechanical body was severely damaged, his spiritual body was under destructive attack, and he was trapped alone in the dangerous sea. His chance of survival was infinitely close to zero.
Through searching and calculation, the optical computer unexpectedly found a result with a rescue rate of 2%, so it sent Xiu Qi to Lu Yao's live broadcast room without hesitation.
Xiu Qi squatted in the bookstore's live broadcast room for dozens of hours, from the beginning of the broadcast in the morning to the afternoon, and gradually recovered some mobility.
After being able to move, he gave the owner a gift without thinking.
Lu Yao stopped what she was doing and tilted her head to look at Xiu Qi.
She didn't quite understand the intention of this customer.
Xiu Qi stretched out his left arm towards the ceiling, spread out his five fingers, then slowly curled them into a fist: "This is not an ordinary virtual live broadcast room, right?"
Lu Yao blinked, then lowered his head to continue packing: "Why do you say that?"
Xiu Qi: "Staying here, the spiritual body will become more and more active. There is no instrument at hand to detect specific values, but my feeling is very intuitive, especially after entering the virtual live broadcast room, my body and mind seem to be immersed in a hot spring, warm and relaxing. The tea and snacks in the live broadcast room are not data, right? With current technology, it is absolutely impossible to present such a realistic taste and flavor. Also, I want to know why the spiritual body can eat in this live broadcast room?"
Because of Xiu Qi's remarks, the message bars on the message screen were refreshed rapidly again. The audience was curious about his words and it also caused some panic.
[Wild Star No. 999: What is he talking about? Is there something wrong with the live broadcast room? ]
[Wild Star No. 497: Is he saying that the spirit body enjoyed real food in the virtual live broadcast room? ]
[Wild Star No. 2458: Impossible. Maybe it is a new technology developed by Guandao? The texture and taste of food are perfectly restored through data and modeling. ]
[Wild Star No. 923: I am more concerned about another point. Is it true that this live broadcast room has an impact on the activity of the spirit body? ]
...
Lu Yao looked up at the constantly refreshing message screen, and the guest who was reading a book opposite also looked up.
They had already seen the message screen and stared at Lu Yao with burning eyes.
Lu Yao kept packing, still calmly: "Because we want our customers to fully experience the charm of books, we did spend a lot of money to introduce new technology. When building the live broadcast room, we spent a lot of time and effort to perfect the details, just to make the customer experience in the virtual live broadcast room infinitely close to reality. I am very happy to hear your question, which shows that the money was not spent in vain.
"As for the saying that the live broadcast room activates the spiritual body, it is not entirely correct. To be precise, it is not the live broadcast room but the books that activate your spiritual body again.
"Thoughts from the distant past have come here across time with words as their bones and thin paper as their skin. The bookstore is just a small door standing outside the mountains, just to lead everyone into the vast mountain of books that encompasses everything and changes in a myriad of ways.
"When you open a book, do you feel that the world extending from the words is far more vast and boundless than the world touched by your eyes, ears and feet? "
The silver armor covered Xiu Qi tightly, and no expression could be seen. However, the long silence was also a kind of answer.
The owner's short speech seemed to be quite shocking. The message screen froze for a few seconds, and then quickly scrolled again.
[Wild Star No. 789: This is the first time I see someone talk about selling goods so elegantly. I'm suddenly a little moved.]
[Wild Star No. 636: Don't say it, don't say it! I want to place an order too.]
[Wild Star No. 427: I'm beginning to believe that "books are brain substitutes". The owner must have read a lot of books, right?]
...
Lu Yao didn't think what he said was anything remarkable. The enthusiastic feedback from the audience might be related to the fact that there are no books in this world.
Words, music, pictures, and images all have their own unique ways of expression and forms.
In this world, even the human brain can be made into a holographic exhibition hall for people to visit. The way humans obtain information is too dependent on vision and hearing. Everything they see and hear is like the food that has been prepared on the table. All the processes in between are omitted, and an expected delicious answer is presented.
The short-term sensory stimulation does bring an extraordinary and novel experience, and the result is that the sensory threshold is stretched. Too high, forming a path dependence, it is difficult to find a fresh sense of experience, and the spirit gradually walks into the cage drawn by itself.
The world outlined by words is not accurate and fixed.
In addition to the author's own ideas, the dark river formed by the collection of words will form a distorted and extremely honest mirror, which reflects the reader's appearance and allows the reader to see the ideal.
The existence of books is like opening a small window for the spirit trapped in the prison. The vastness and breadth of the world are outside the small window and within reach.
Xiu Qi also saw the rapidly scrolling message strips on the message screen, and suddenly stood up and left the virtual live broadcast room.
Several new order reminders popped up on Lu Yao's star ring. Among them, the Star Warrior Xiu Qi placed an order to buy a complete set of "The Count of Monte Cristo" and a copy of "The Killing of a Robin". The delivery address was exactly the Black Star No. 38 Sea Area.
However, after the package was sent out, it was not signed for and returned to the bookstore street in Guandao.
Half a month later, Lu Yao met a prisoner who called himself the Star Warrior Xiu Qi in the store.
At present, Lu Yao did not know that so many bizarre stories would happen in the future. She stayed in the bookstore during the day, working diligently and live-streaming. At night, she worked overtime with two artificial intelligence assistants until she was mentally confused, trying to maintain the work intensity of putting at least two new books on the shelves every day.
While her body was almost hollowed out, she was also constantly harvesting customers' wallets.
The next day, 0815 contacted the owner through Star Ring and took the initiative to mention that if the bookstore has plans to add new employees, they can directly submit the employee information to him.
After completing the review process, Guandao will send a specialist to other planets to pick up people to the island.
Lu Yao did not agree directly, and replied that it would take two days to consider.
0815 thought that the owner needed time to screen the personnel and did not urge him.
Two days after the first live broadcast, the first batch of customers who placed orders through Star Network began to receive packages one after another.
[Author's words]
I went home today. I was in a bad state after carsickness. I should be better tomorrow.
