Fortunately, Qin Yan didn't ask the question anyway, so Yang Jia turned his eyes away, pretending not to notice his confused expression.
As a result, this turn made her discover something new.
You have to take a special train to get through the underground passage. There are no windows in the carriages, so you can't see what's outside or how the train works. Of course, even if there were windows, you probably wouldn't be able to see anything, as it's underground after all.
For the convenience of the passengers, the lights were on. The light was a soft, warm yellow, relaxing yet obscuring the surroundings. Yang Jia had examined the carriage upon entering and found nothing unusual. Only now did he notice a small sign in the corner against the wall.
Yang Jia couldn't be mistaken; it was the Feitian Travel Agency logo! The reason it was so memorable was that the enlarged version of the logo was printed on the cover of the travel brochure they used every day, guaranteeing that no player would forget it.
If the port-like room in the travel agency made Yang Jia think that it was related to the system, then now, the sign on the train gave Yang Jia a definite answer in his mind, and it was not just his own guess.
The system was not just running silently behind the scenes, but also "existed" in the game, which gave Yang Jia a very wonderful feeling.
When Yang Jia saw this icon, the feeling that "someone was watching him at all times" came back to him.
Although she had always known this, after talking to Li Bai today, this feeling became even more pronounced, even making Yang Jia feel a sense of urgency. If she couldn't conceal herself well, the result would definitely not be what she wanted to see.
Whether it's the system responsible for all data operations or those people outside who are watching her closely, once they discover her abnormality, they probably won't have any good intentions.
what to do?
Perhaps when people are in desperate situations, they always burst out with strength and potential that they don't normally have. For example, at this moment, after being shocked, Yang Jia subconsciously began to think about a solution, and then she actually thought of the key point.
In this game world, the root of everything is data. Whether it is Yang Jia himself, other people around him, whether NPCs or players, even every blade of grass and every tree, every city and every house, they are actually all made up of data.
But what should we do to protect data?
Firewall!
In the cyber world, all attacks are made up of data, and so are defenses. So, as long as you design a firewall to protect yourself, there will be no problem.
But what about a firewall?
Yang Jia had no professional computer knowledge and didn't know how to do it. No one could help him with this. At most, he could consult Zhang Zitao on some design issues, but he had to be wary of him guessing what he was doing. It was dangerous, but Yang Jia had no other choice.
Putting aside the question of how to build a firewall, she first needs to know what kind of data she is, be able to "see" herself, and then she can design a targeted protection program.
Yang Jia hesitated for only a moment before deciding to give it a try. Thanks to her homebody nature, while she spent most of her time at home playing games, she also found time to browse forums and read novels. In this age of information explosion, the internet is full of all sorts of imaginative ideas, and Yang Jia herself has come up with many. Many of them are far more terrifying and bizarre than the world she lives in, which is just a game.
Yang Jia had read several science fiction novels, many of which dealt with artificial intelligence. These AI characters, disguised as humans, often possessed robotic bodies, yet could navigate the cyberspace as data, acquiring information and earning money. They were omniscient and omnipotent.
Yang Jia's requirements were not that high. She just wanted to be able to see herself clearly, not as a simulated human appearance, but as the data itself.
She closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and tried to use this method to sense the entire world of data. After all, she had no other good ideas.
Maybe it was because of his extraordinary talent, but at the beginning Yang Jia could still feel the breathing of Li Bai and Qin Yan, the flow of light and shadow around him, and some other subtle details that he usually didn't notice. Then, it seemed like at a certain moment, his mind suddenly went blank, and the light and shadow in front of him and the sounds in his ears completely disappeared.
But it wasn't darkness, or rather, it wasn't any of the five senses, but rather the appearance of the world itself.
The moment this thought flashed through her mind, Yang Jia found herself in a torrent of golden light, being swept forward by everything around her. At first, she could only follow forward involuntarily, and it took all her energy to keep herself from falling behind. But gradually, she got used to this running posture, and then she freed up her energy to "look" to the side.
It’s not exactly the case that she “saw” it, but when she had this thought, everything appeared in her consciousness.
It was a world so vast that Yang Jia couldn't describe it. Countless "torrents" like the one she found herself in flowed everywhere. Some intersected, some ran parallel, some merged, and some diverged... Countless torrents intertwined, forming a vast and complex complex. But each torrent was so clear, without any interference from the others, and they flowed in an orderly manner.
This is what the "game world" really looks like!
The moment this thought came to mind, Yang Jia seemed to have lost all his defenses and was hit by the data around him. His mind was lost, and even the idea of "I" faded, almost annihilated in this torrent of data.
But at this moment, she felt her body sink and she couldn't move at all.
Yang Jia suddenly opened his eyes.
Only when she was sure she was still in the carriage, as if nothing had happened, did she suddenly relax. She felt weak all over, her temples throbbing, her head aching. And... one of her arms was held by Li Bai.
"What's wrong with you?" Yang Jia turned her head and saw Li Bai staring at her.
She quickly said, "I'm fine."
"How can you be okay? Your face has suddenly turned so pale." Qin Yan, who was sitting opposite, said, "Are you too tired? Why don't you take a rest?"
"No!" Yang Jia almost blurted out a refusal. Only after she'd said it did she realize there was something wrong with her attitude. Her gesture was simply a result of panic and dread. The overwhelming feeling still lingered in her body, making her resist closing her eyes, resting, or even sleeping.
Fortunately, Qin Yan didn't care about her attitude and just said, "Then hold on a little longer, we should be there soon."
Yang Jia nodded randomly, leaned back in his chair for a while, and then gradually calmed down.
For some reason, during this process, Li Bai never took back the hand that was holding her arm. She only let go when Yang Jia completely relaxed.
She must have noticed something, Yang Jia thought. But at this point, she couldn't disguise her feelings or spirit, so she just let it go. Li Bai had discovered more than just this one thing, anyway. Yang Jia didn't know why she had kept it a secret, and she had no intention of pursuing it. But Li Bai's attitude made her feel strangely at ease, and she didn't raise much of a defense.
Anyway, she wouldn't ask, and she probably wouldn't be able to guess anything so bizarre even if she racked her brains. Yang Jia thought to himself, it doesn't matter even if he knows something is wrong.
Everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion, but she knew it wasn't. Although Yang Jia tried hard to hold on, the feeling of mental exhaustion still had a profound impact on her. She relaxed, leaning back in her chair for a while, and before she knew it, she fell asleep.
It was naturally impossible to get into a sleeping position while sitting, and it was also difficult to keep oneself still, so after a while, Yang Jia's head hit Li Bai's shoulder.
Qin Yan, who was sitting opposite, was startled by what he saw and quickly stood up, intending to change seats with Li Bai.
But Li Bai just glanced at him, and he sat back down obediently.
Thinking about it again, Li Bai and Yang Jia seemed to have always had a good relationship. Although Qin Yan had always felt that few people could befriend Li Bai, it was undeniable that he was very reliable. Besides, hadn't she pushed Yang Jia away? Just leaning in for a while shouldn't be a problem.
Even though he thought so, he still felt inexplicably uneasy and would glance over there from time to time. Then he quickly noticed that Li Bai, who had been sitting very upright with his back straight, had somehow relaxed and slumped into the chair.
Even though her face was still filled with a solemn expression that made people dare not look directly at her, her posture, with someone leaning on her shoulder, diminished her aura. Qin Yan looked at Li Bai like this and was suddenly surprised to find that she was actually quite good-looking. And...
Li Bai seems to have some "popularity".
If Li Bai's expression hadn't been so frank, Qin Yan would have suspected that she and Yang Jia had something going on. Thinking of this, his heart suddenly jumped, and he quickly suppressed the thought, but a faint worry arose in his heart.
The Li family was definitely keeping a close eye on Li Bai. Even though she was surrounded by military subordinates in the game and no one from the Li family, there were plenty of people who took the initiative to report her affairs. It was undeniable that Li Bai's presence in Phoenix City would bring them a huge advantage, but being so close to Li Bai wasn't necessarily a good thing for Yang Jia.
It’s not that no one wants to hug some big thighs, but that they have already been dealt with before they can be hugged.
