Just when the Xiang Weiguo couple was experiencing the "torture" of being watched by teachers as students, Xiangchuan and Xiangxue were playing together in the commercial street of the third fleet's main ship.
If the decoration at home still has some shadow of the 21st century, then the commercial street is completely an imaginary future scene: three-dimensional advertising screens, young people spinning in mid-air in the square, floating anti-gravity vehicles overhead, The store is filled with a dazzling array of ultra-avant-garde aesthetic clothing...
Although Kagawa was mentally prepared after investigating the background of the era on the first day, actually standing at the scene was a different feeling. It was too bizarre and made her feel unrealistic.
Xiangxue took her to the game room, and Xiangchuan's first impression was: there were so few things.
At first glance, the entire game hall is full of shooting games, either simulating shooting of gravel on space routes, or simulating shooting of some giant insects.
Xiangxue asked her: "Sister, which one should we play better?"
Kagawa smiled dryly and remained silent.
Does it make any difference which one you play?
Finally, under Xiangxue's recommendation, I sat in an operating console that looked like an airplane cabin.
[Please authenticate your personal terminal]
The voice of the navigation guide guided Xiangchuan to place her personal terminal on the square silver table in the middle and scan it. She only heard the sound "The cost of this trip has been deducted", which frightened her. She relied on her "memory" to finally complete the operation. He called up the balance of his terminal, looked at the numbers clearly, and then looked at the deduction just now...
Playing the game once will deduct 100 star coins, but the available balance displayed on your terminal is 6 million star coins.
Kagawa began to think seriously about forcing herself to accept modern food to achieve a real life of a wealthy second generation. She was so frightened that she quickly drank the apple-flavored milk that the kitchen AI helped pack for takeaway to calm down her shock.
No, you can’t give up before eating pineapple buns and snail noodles.
Before she could finish her random thoughts, the dark surroundings immediately turned into a starry sky, with several rather complex-looking information boxes floating around her.
"Could this be a holographic battle game?"
Kagawa muttered, and suddenly the whole game room shook, startling her. When she looked carefully, she realized that she had been hit by a rock directly in front of her. Under the guidance of the navigation system, she grasped the operating lever beside her and struggled to avoid the meteorite in front of her.
She found that the machine she was operating was unexpectedly heavy and bulky, not at all as light and refreshing as when she used to operate those SF-set mechas when she went to a friend's house to play PS5.
Is this a real mecha? She couldn't help but sigh.
Gradually, there were fewer rocks ahead. Based on her game experience, she guessed that there was going to be a battle ahead.
Suddenly, a huge crab fell from the sky!
……Crab?
Xiangchuan blinked his eyes. The crab in front of him had hairs on its pincers and kept spitting bubbles from its mouth.
It is indeed a crab, even a river crab.
Wait, why do crabs appear in the universe? Have crabs evolved like this now?
Suddenly, the crab in front of her collided with her, its hard body causing the machine she was operating to pop up a red warning message box. She hurriedly fired forward with the help of navigation, but the tiny laser light couldn't make even two holes in the crab's shell, and it didn't even burn the crab's shell red.
Soon, Kagawa's body was shaken violently and buried in the crab's giant claws.
Looking at the four big words "Game Over" on the screen, Xiangchuan didn't feel angry or unwilling to lose the game, but only felt tired.
What are these things...
"Sister, how are you? This is a new game warehouse developed by Shisi Group. The simulation effect is great, right?"
Seeing Xiangchuan walk out of the game room, Xiangxue immediately threw away the boy who was chatting with him and went to meet him.
"Well... the simulation effect is pretty good."
Seeing that his sister was so excited, Kagawa couldn't express his inner complaints that were already filling the screen. He could only affirm the only advantage of this game.
"Eh? Sister, weren't you looking forward to playing the new game of the Smith Group?"
Xiangxue was immediately keenly aware of Xiangchuan's hesitant reaction.
"The authenticity of the graphics and operation is very good, but..." Xiangchuan said as he pulled Xiangxue out of the game warehouse. Because it is a new game, there are still many young people waiting in line to play it. "The level setting is too boring, lacks transitional parts, and the operations are too cumbersome. Most people can't react at all. Moreover, the final BOSS is too unrealistic. Why does a crab appear?!"
"Because crabs are terrifying aquatic beasts. Aren't we always fighting giant beasts in the game?"
Beast? snort.
Kagawa snorted disdainfully at the big signboard of the game warehouse. When the whereabouts of Cong Jiang are found in the future, I will let my sister have a taste of this "beast".
Seeing that her sister was not satisfied and Xiangxue was no longer interested in playing, he held her hand and went to the shopping mall upstairs together.
The shopping mall where the game arcade is located is aimed at young customers, so the products on each floor are so dazzling that Kagawa couldn't help but buy a few small ornaments.
The two of them walked all the way up and finally came to the rest area on the top floor.
Although this shopping mall does not have many floors, the top-floor rest area faces the square of the business district. There are many young people wearing anti-gravity rings chatting in mid-air or dancing to the electronic music MV on the big screen in the square.
Xiangxue checked the terminal at the door and was immediately led to the VIP area by a spherical navigation AI.
The VIP area is equipped with a fully transparent floor, which is very novel when looking down.
The two found a seat, and Xiangxue took out the lunch box she asked the kitchen AI to prepare in advance. The contents were similar to the lunch of Xiang Weiguo and his wife who were far away in the government building. This was considered lunch for the two of them.
After inserting a piece of potato pancake, Xiangchuan started to feel a little bored here.
The music is all the same electronic music. There are no snacks or restaurants in the mall. Even the occasional advertisements on the big screen in the square downstairs just dryly announce the specifications of the products.
Is this considered "as technology develops, people's happiness declines"?
But when you look at the young people outside the VIP area, they don't look very decadent, and they don't look very lively either. Although Xiangchuan was irritated by the young people shouting in the square outside the rental house in the middle of the night, but somehow, looking at them like this, he felt like he was watching Xiangxue in the 21st century change from a lively and lively girl to a naughty girl. However, everyone felt anxious about the unkempt young mother.
Thinking of this, she looked at Xiangxue who was enjoying fried bananas in front of her and smiled slightly.
In this life, our family has become a big family, and my sister can enjoy life well.
After all, he has at least 800 years to live.
