Ji Le returned home and breathed a sigh of relief.
He lives alone in this apartment, which is not very spacious—it was a house he bought with a loan after a lot of effort. Although there is no privacy in this era, Ji Le can still feel at ease at home.
At this time, the golden pop-up window popped up again, and the Gantt chart lit up.
[You have activated a recruitment task: Please go to Unit 7, Unit 202, Building 3, Orange Apartment at 23:30 today to find your main programmer. 】
[You have activated an update task: please update a trial version before 23:00 tomorrow. 】
It makes sense. To make the function, you need to find a programmer first, but why go there in the middle of the night?
There are a lot of online scams these days, don’t let them be traps.
But he has never seen such a "high-end" fraud method.
Ji Le looked at the virtual glasses in his hand doubtfully, and then stared at the Gantt chart suspended in front of him.
He remembered that he had never installed a brain terminal or used nerves to directly connect to the Utopia system. All network operations and virtual reality projection are all done by virtual glasses. That is, if he does not wear virtual glasses, he will never see any virtual pop-up windows and cannot connect to the Utopia network.
Now, he is not wearing virtual glasses, but he can still see the pop-up window of the virtual reconstruction system, which is abnormal in itself.
Can current viruses directly attack people who do not have a terminal installed in the Utopia brain?
In short, this matter is beyond Ji Le's common sense. If this pop-up window pops up normally when he is wearing virtual glasses, he can kill a poison or something, but now he can't do anything.
In addition to the Gantt chart, there was also a project document called "Wonderful World". To be on the safe side, he never opened it.
If this virtual reconstruction system exists in virtual glasses, then Ji Le can kill and disinfect the entire system first, but now that he can't do anything, he can't just dive into the disinfectant water and kill the virus in his brain, right?
“The risk of trusting a pop-up window of unknown origin is really high.”
——Although the content written on this pop-up window is very tempting to him.
Ji Le decided to see if he could find a new job first. If he could successfully resolve the income verification matter, he would not need to worry about this suspicious pop-up window.
He'd better find a new job in time before the bank starts the loan recovery process, otherwise he'll end up sleeping on the streets.
"It's too difficult to find a suitable new job within 24 hours, and Philips Company is already considered the ceiling of the industry. Where can I go?"
So he held on to the virtual glasses with a broken leg and entered the recruitment process of the Utopia system.
The Utopia system monitors the information of each citizen, including academic qualifications, hobbies, personality and mental state, and can assign suitable occupations and... partners to citizens. Of course, you can choose not to follow the plan of the Utopia system, but in many cases It shows that those who do not follow the plan will not live a good life in the end.
[Sorry, Philip Company has submitted you to the list of dishonest persons, and you cannot apply for game development-related jobs. ]
Ji Le cursed in a low voice, did his old club need to be so awesome? Are you afraid that he will fight back again?
[The jobs you can currently engage in are: Garbage sorter. ]
[Utopia Systems reminds you that a garbage sorter’s income doesn’t cover your mortgage. When the bank detects that your income is not up to standard, it will still initiate the loan recovery process. ]
Buzz——
The virtual glasses in his hand were vibrating. Ji Le quickly put the glasses in front of his eyes and held them with one hand.
[City Central Hospital reminds you that the next suppressive treatment appointment you make is on next Monday, and the system will automatically deduct money from your account. ]
[Because your medical insurance has been closed, please deposit 500% of the treatment fee in your account promptly. If the account balance is insufficient, we will refuse your next treatment. ]
"What are you afraid of?"
There is a strange shadow on Ji Le's brain that compresses the nerves. This is why he cannot install the Utopia system's brain terminal chip and nerve direct connection device. Growing up, he had to go to the hospital regularly for suppressive treatment, otherwise the shadow would expand.
Now is Ji Le's most difficult moment. Not only are they at risk of living on the streets, but they may also die because they cannot afford medical bills.
Whether it was a trap or a scam, he had nothing to lose anyway.
Ji Le growled: "Damn it, do it."
The situation is already very bad. If it is really a fraud system, what is the purpose of defrauding this guy who has lost his job and is sick? Even if there were countless doubts, Ji Le had no other choice.
This so-called virtual reconstruction system suddenly appeared when he was in the most difficult moment, and it was the last life-saving straw for Ji Le.
At 22:15 in the evening, Ji Le put the nutrient solution into the storage space in his belt. Secure the virtual glasses to your head with a rubber band.
Night fell, but the city did not quiet down. Huge billboards and virtual projections occupy all the visual field. After people have finished their work for the day, they still want to enjoy another life at night. They let their nerves indulge in illusory utopian networks and low-quality alcohol, overdrawing their spirits.
"Disabled people" like Ji Le, who are unable to directly connect their nerves, are not so addicted to virtual networks and continue to jog every day.
Even though the technology to replace mechanical organs is now available, Ji Le still firmly believes that the original body is better.
Orange Apartment is only two kilometers away from where he lives. For Ji Le, it is not too far to run there.
Half an hour later, Ji Le stood in front of the Orange Apartment, but was stopped by a long line of police cordons.
A circle of people surrounded the cordon, and inside were cars with flashing police lights and a group of peace officers in blue uniforms.
"Excuse me, what happened here?" Ji Le looked up at the blocked apartment, which had 20 floors in total.
"Someone had a breakdown and deputies are dealing with it."
"But it won't be a complete lockdown. We won't be able to go home."
"Did someone die?"
"Don't talk! The situation is unknown now, and you may be in danger when you go back." The Sheriff over there heard the discussion, raised his head and said. "Don't try to sneak past, our cordon will react to your brain terminals."
Ji Le looked at the time.
[22:50 minutes. ]
He doesn't like to be late.
Ji Le looked at the apartment again. The night was dark, and the outline of the apartment became a little blurry, stained with a layer of blood under the flash of red neon lights.
He left the crowd and walked around to the back of the apartment, where there was only a police cordon but no sheriff guarding him.
He crossed the cordon without causing any alarm.
If it only reacts to the terminal in the brain, for Ji Le, who does not have a terminal installed in the brain, this warning line is in vain.
The Sheriff may not have expected that in today's world there are still people who have not installed brain terminals - after all, people who still use traditional methods to access virtual networks are as backward as the ancients.
When Ji Le stepped into the cordon, the world changed in an instant, appearing in a form that he could not understand.
