Mysterious Catastrophe

"Where are you from? Mysterious sect?"

A wheaten-skinned woman saw his silent posture before and asked a second time.

"Natural person?"

Aaron looked at her metal arm: "If it means without your transformation, then I am indeed a natural person..."

"It's unbelievable...you can survive in this environment. The air here is poisonous. Breathing for a long time can easily corrode the lungs and heart!"

Chloe patted herself on the chest: "See...my artificial lung is the 'Nature Green' type five! If I get another artificial heart, I might be able to live in the upper city... ...Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Chloe, they are the old man, Jason, and Wilson, we are the hunter team from the 'city that never sleeps'!"

"My name is... Aaron!"

Aaron smiled slightly: "As for the air being poisonous? I didn't find out..."

Don't say that he is at least the living immortal of the seventh essence. Even if he is only the 'melting furnace' of the fourth essence, he will not be afraid of any toxins in the air. After being inhaled, he will be incinerated by high temperature...

"Chloe, this little brother is from a mysterious sect, so he can definitely adapt to the environment through some rituals, such as flesh and blood transformation..."

The old man explained with a smile that although the muzzle of the weapon in his hand was lowered, he did not put it down.

Obviously, he is still wary of strangers!

'A mystical sect?ceremony?Flesh Transformation...'

Hearing these nouns, Aaron felt a little familiar and kind inexplicably.

A little 'Yao' and 'Tower' were consumed, and under the dual effects of divination and deduction, he immediately understood many things.

"Well, even though Siming has drained the spirituality of the world, it is not without loopholes... such as my 'Invisible Hermitage', and the Extraordinary of 'Shadow'... as long as Pure Shadow reaches the fourth rank, it is still possible Go directly to the spirit world... smuggling some 'spirituality' from the spirit world back to the earthly world, although it is definitely more difficult than before, it is not completely impossible, but it is also necessary to deal with the spiritual spillover effect...'

'So, the mystery of the world still exists, but it is quite small, or non-mainstream...'

'Now the mainstream of the world should be science and technology, as well as prosthetics and body modification? '

'My identity is very suitable to pretend to be a natural person believer of a mysterious sect who resists transformation? '

In a blink of an eye, Aaron understood a lot of information and smiled: "Yes... some rituals are quite convenient in life. I'm lost. Can I take a ride to the 'City That Never Sleeps'?"

He is quite interested in the city that never sleeps that Chloe said.

Besides, rather than wandering aimlessly in the desert, it is naturally better to go to a place where many people gather.

"No problem... just a fee!"

The old man smiled and said: "One month! How about a month's fare?"

"Old man?!"

Chloe looked at the old man in surprise, Jason and Wilson next to him also shrank their pupils slightly, and then quickly restrained their expressions.

'It looks like this old man is going to kill me? '

'One month?What unit of measurement is this? '

'That's right... Judging from his cautious performance, if it wasn't for profiting from me, how could he keep communicating with me?Already ran away! '

Aaron showed doubts: "What is 'one month'?"

"Cough cough..."

The old man seemed to be choking on his own saliva. Chloe looked at Aaron's expression, as if he was looking at those primitive people in the primitive tribe who only knew how to barter.

"Well, you will know soon... Come on, get in the car!"

A flash of ecstasy flashed in the old man's heart, it's best to lie if you don't know anything!

After Aaron got into the car, he immediately made a big turn, didn't even pick up waste, and drove straight back!

Whoosh!

Howling wind!

While driving, the old man played dynamic metal music and looked at Jason who was shaking his head: "Jason, I remember you still have an old smart glasses, right? Brother Aaron is a naturalist, certainly not If you like to implant a 'Gaia Chip' in your head, use this Dingding first, let him connect to the virtual network, and then teach him to open an account in the 'Life Bank'!"

"Gaia chip? Virtual network? Life bank?"

Aaron found it very novel.

"Yeah... buddy, it's just like this... cool!" Jason pressed his temple, and the fluorescent light was projected from his eyes, forming a three-dimensional image: "In the lives of the residents of the city that never sleeps, Dealing with those Leviathan giants is always necessary...they are Cyber ​​Transformation Group, Gaia Network Corporation, and Life Bank!"

When he was speaking, one after another three-dimensional images began to add explanations: "After every baby is born, it must take a loan to buy artificial lungs, remodeled stomach and other organs from the cyber transformation group, otherwise it will not be able to survive the pollution at all. ...Then, it's even more cool, implanting a 'Gaia chip' and connecting to a virtual network. If there is no chip assistance, you are a third-class idiot... You can't learn many skills, you can't find a job at all, of course... ...The most important thing is that there is everything in the virtual network...women, food, all kinds of enjoyment you can think of, you can find everything...In the game, you can even become an ancient king, or planet ruler, and do everything you want What you want to do... as long as you have enough currency, that is, the 'time' of the life bank! 'Time'... is the most common currency!"

"I probably understand..."

Aaron nodded.

The word Leviathan, actually from the spirit world, has the meaning of 'huge, terrifying'.

At this time, it is probably used to describe a giant who monopolizes the industry!

'It seems...the world no longer has the concept of a country...a huge and terrifying company that rules everything? '

'However...can the concept of time be sold and traded? '

'Can technology do this?Or... a mysterious function? '

Aaron understood a little bit, but more puzzlement emerged.

Still, he put on a pair of silver glasses as good as he could, and pressed the start button...

Chapter 1013 Metaverse

Whoohoo!

Aaron's eyes went dark, and then a torrent of data composed of countless 0s and 1s emerged, falling like a waterfall.

He had a little expectation in his heart, and at the same time 'secret' his origin, and casually fabricated another false identity in the sense of 'occultism'.

The next moment, his eyes brightened, and he had already appeared on a plaza full of sci-fi metal style.

Surrounded by towering metal buildings, some are directly suspended in mid-air.

In front of him, a light curtain appeared:

【Welcome to the Metaverse! 】

【A new user has been detected, is the registration complete? 】

[It is detected that the user is not using the 'Gaia chip' to log in, and the 100% simulation function is turned off, and the intracranial orgasm and tide functions are turned off...]

……

"register!"

Aaron had already used a false identity at this time, so he was naturally not afraid of anything, and calmly gave orders with his mind.

【Ding!Please enter your username! 】

"Aaron!"

[Successful registration, input of neuron and brain wave information, and automatically generate a unique account——%￥#@! 】

【relative!You are welcome to join the family of Gaia Virtual Reality Network. Gaia Networks will serve you wholeheartedly and provide excellent virtual network experience. Please give us a good review! 】

……

【Ding! 】

['Big guy' sent a friend request, did it pass? 】

"by!"

Aaron clicked to confirm, and a huge figure suddenly appeared beside him.

It was a strong man with a height of more than three meters and a frightening degree of mechanized transformation of the whole body: "Hello... I am Jason!"

"Jason?"

Aaron thought of the skinny short man: "How did you become like this?"

"In virtual reality, all shapes and appearances can be chosen... I have long wanted to make a 'metal giant' transformation, but unfortunately I don't have so many days, so I can only try it on the Gaia network... Just this skin, Gaia Network Company took me for three days, how stupid!"

Jason squatted down, and his voice sounded like a trumpet, which made people's eardrums hurt.

"Is this... a virtual reality network? Wireless networking, unimaginable technology!"

Aaron looked around and found that many 'players' were of various weird styles. Demons and ghosts could be seen everywhere, and there was even a puddle of mud wriggling on the ground.

"Hey...we are still poor and cannot use many paid functions of the virtual network...you have to recharge every game, and only a few basic contact functions are still open for free..."

Jason lamented: "We are all 'retail investors', and the login area is also this public square. Those rich people bought real estate directly in the Metaverse and logged in directly. We have no authority for that kind of private place. go in..."

"Real estate in the virtual universe?" Aaron gasped: "Are you asking for money?"

"Not only does it cost money, some are even more expensive than real estate!"

Jason's face was full of disappointment. After a while, he patted himself on the cheek: "Come on, I'll add you other friends and form a group together."

Aaron chose to accept one by one, and saw the usernames of Chloe and others.

The old man is an 'old handsome guy'!

Wilson is the 'captain'!

Chloe is weirder called 'Trojan Horse'!

"Trojan horse?"

"Yeah, Chloe has had a wish since she was a child, to become the top hacker, break through the background program of Life Bank, and adjust her account balance to infinity..."

Jason smiled: "It's a pity...she doesn't have much money, and she can't afford top-level chips. No matter how good the programming skills are, it's useless."

"It's not a good habit to speak ill of people behind their backs!"

A flash of white light flashed, and Chloe's figure emerged from the side. She had colorfully dyed hair, two antenna-like hairpins on her head, a pair of translucent fluorescent wings on her back, and a stick in her mouth. Lollipop.

"That's right! Compared to the old man's shameless act of spending money on handsome guy skins, hoping to cheat in the metaverse... we've already figured it out."

Wilson also came over. He was wearing a pirate captain uniform, and his face was much more handsome than in reality.

'With your flamboyant appearance, how dare you talk about others? '

'Wait, if it's a fully virtual reality network... how can you confirm whether the person opposite is a man or a woman, or... a dog? '

The corner of Aaron's mouth twitched slightly: "Okay... let's go to the bank first, it seems... there is no money in this place."

The building of the Life Bank is large and conspicuous, just opposite the public square, occupying a huge space.

Its symbol is a Mobius ring, which looks like an infinite loop in the metaverse, representing time.

"Life Bank has branches everywhere in the Metaverse, and it is very convenient to do business. If you have money, it is time, and you are God there! The favorite motto of those bankers is 'time is money'!"

Chloe led Aaron into the majestic, palace-like gate of the bank, her body trembling unconsciously, as if a little scared: "No one can owe money to Life Bank, because once you open an account, your account If the balance is 0, you will die immediately!"

She seems to have a good heart, and she is still hinting and persuading faintly.

Jason and Wilson beside them were a little anxious, and they gave Chloe winks again and again.

"I don't care...after all, I have confidence in my lifespan, and...according to what you said, if you don't have money, it will be difficult to move an inch in the 'City That Never Sleeps', right?"

Aaron shrugged.

Chloe let out a long breath: "That's true... For us residents of the city that never sleeps, we are born with a life bank loan due to body modification, and the time is always not enough... Engine oil, pure water and food , housing, medicines... Many people have no more than one month in their accounts, and their wages must be settled daily, otherwise many people will not see the sun the next day!"

'Using life to squeeze employees?This is really the ideal model for factory owners and financiers... because if you don't work, you will die, so you must work hard! '

Aaron touched his chin and came to the counter.

"Hello, dear customer, what can I do for you?"

A sweet smiling blonde in a small suit asks with a professional smile.

"Open an account!"

Aaron reported his Metaverse account.

In the next moment, he felt a vague scanning over, and he even wanted to imprint a certain brand on himself.

However, he has already made a disguise. At this time, he is just an 'ordinary natural person', equivalent to a puppet, and he just let the mysterious brand on his body.

'The occult?The personality of this ceremony is very high... It sees through everything about my false identity, and even gets entangled with lifespan. '

He said to himself, and then heard the slightly surprised voice of the blonde: "My dear guest, there are 29387 days left in your account balance! You have become our planet-level customer!"

"More than 80 years?"
