After Mo Fan chose to connect to the public area, a light door appeared in front of him.
Behind the light door is the same small square as before, except this time it was changed from open air to indoor.
Doors of light appeared in the square from time to time, and free world users like him walked out of them.
Not far from where he appeared, a purple Q-version cat dumpling jumped and moved over like a water balloon after seeing him appear.
Sharon: "I see you."
Mo Fan looked at Sharon's appearance. Her main body was a fur ball about one meter in diameter. The fur ball was soft and covered with fine fluff. On the front of the fur ball, there was a cartoon cat's face painted on it.
There are two wing-like ears on the top of the fur ball, which can float briefly when it flaps. The fur ball has no limbs and can only move its body by bouncing. Along the path it moves, a purple light band like a galaxy will appear.
You can tell at a glance that it’s a gold-plated skin, and it’s not cheap.
After the two met, Sharon led him towards the arch outside the square.
Behind the arch is a huge city.
The huge golden tree that I saw in the small square before is the pillar of the city, with its thick golden trunk running through the center of the city.
Looking up at the sky, the endless canopy of trees is like a canopy, covering the entire city.
Even though Mo Fan was used to seeing the big world, when he saw the true face of the free world, he was at a loss for words.
I held it in for half a minute before spitting out two words.
"Bullshit!"
There are many shops in the city, and all kinds of neon signs make people’s eyes dizzy.
Countless free users are walking through the streets, and many classic characters that have appeared in novels, games, and movies can find their prototypes among passers-by, but they are all scaled to about two meters according to the proportions of the prototypes.
Like a cosplay exhibition, people of all styles gather together.
There are superheroes wearing tights and capes, ghosts with transparent bodies, humanoid mechas with a sense of technology...
He even saw a guy with an octopus head and broken wings on his back, handing out candy to passers-by.
Mo Fan is like a country bumpkin who just entered the city. No matter what he sees, his eyes are full of novelty.
"How come I haven't heard of this kind of place before?"
Sharon led the way and said:
"Of course you haven't heard of it. Only satellite-level cities have public interfaces to the free world. Cities below the satellite level can only use private interfaces to log in to the free world."
"Use a private interface to log in, either transplant a brain-computer interface, or set up an external service station like me. In the entire Yefeng Town, apart from my clients, there are no more than ten people who have entered the free world."
Mo Fanruo asked with enlightenment: "I have heard a saying that only when you enter a satellite city can you be considered a real person. Is it because of the free world?"
Sharon: "This sentence is a bit exaggerated, but it is indeed because of the free world. Only in the free world can we get rid of the rotten world and let our souls be free for a short time."
"What about the price? Is entering the free world free?"
Mo Fan looked around. Even if he didn't know much about the Internet, he knew that developing and maintaining the free world was an astronomical sum of money.
"Time-based charges, if there are no additional charges, 5 federal coins per minute."
"5 federal coins per minute?"
Mo Fan was shocked by the price. According to this price, just traveling in the free world would cost 300 federal coins per hour.
300 federal coins is exactly the minimum income line in Meteor City.
Sharon had a helpless expression on her huge face, "If you want to experience the freedom of the soul, of course you need to pay a high price. All freedom is based on money, even the soul."
Mo Fan shrugged, "Wait until I go out and transfer the money to you."
"unnecessary."
Sharon raised her head, and a huge proud smile appeared on the face of the prototype dumpling.
“You have to pay for Internet access, so what kind of hacker is that?”
"Can you evade the fare?"
"No, I secretly connected a line from the mayor's office to Lembeng, and the fee was directly deducted from the town's public management fee."
Mo Fan: "Didn't anyone notice?"
"I modified the deduction system. They can only see the deduction, but not the reason. The Internet fee I paid is not even a fraction compared to the money embezzled by those in the town."
While talking, Sharon led Mo Fan to a door-shaped machine.
"The public central square is a place for advertising, socializing, and holding celebrations. If you want to experience the free world, you can't do it here."
With a bang, a ball as big as a fist condensed around Sharon's body, which was the "hand" of her skin.
She controlled the ball and moved it on the navigation interface of the door-shaped machine. Soon, a line of prompts was displayed on the screen.
"The target location has been confirmed, Random Avenue."
A silver vortex appeared in the center of the door, and Sharon pulled Mo Fan into the door.
Through the whirlpool, they came to a quiet path.
The branches of the golden giant tree hang down from above and are distributed on both sides of the road. The giant tree blocks the sky and the sun, but the leaves are only the size of a human face, emitting gem-like light on both sides of the road.
Mo Fan looked at the leaves and found that when he focused on a certain leaf, two scenes would appear in his eyes at the same time. One was him walking on a random avenue, and the other was him in a gorgeous palace.
There was a huge stage in the center of the palace, and a voluptuous woman stood on the stage, twisting her body to the music.
There were countless spectators like Mo Fan standing under the stage, with fluorescent sticks, light signs, rockets and other items popping out of their heads from time to time.
As soon as these items appear, they will turn into varying amounts of gold coins and pour them into the stage. The more gold coins appear, the more luxurious the palace will be and the more gorgeous the stage will be.
As the amount of rewards continues to increase, the dancers on the stage become bolder, their movements become more intense, and their clothes become cooler.
At the end of the dance, the dancer stopped and blew a kiss to the audience who had just had rockets shoot out of their heads.
The blowing kiss materialized into bright red lips, flew all the way to the audience, and turned into a card with a symbol printed on it.
The audience who received the card were particularly excited. Three or four rockets shot out from above their heads, causing bursts of fireworks to explode above the stage.
It seems that the top brother on the list bought enough gifts and obtained the contact information of the dancers.
Another audience member, who was suspected to be the second eldest brother on the list, was dissatisfied with being robbed of the limelight, and rockets began to gather above his head.
Mo Fan was watching the excitement, but his vision blurred, and both the stage and the audience turned into a hazy mist.
"The trial time has expired. If you want to continue to enjoy high-definition services, please subscribe to this channel and become a member."
He took a look at the subscription price:
Ordinary members: 300 federal coins/day.
VIP: For 500 federal coins/day, you can get a beautiful gift specially made by the anchor.
…
Emperor-level VIP: 5,000 federal coins/day, can have dinner with the host and enjoy a romantic night.
He calculated that the 2 million federal coins he had on him, not counting additional gifts, were enough to be an emperor-level VIP for one year.
The speed at which the free world spends money is terrifying.
Random Avenue brings together countless different spaces, which are pushed around completely randomly for passers-by to watch and choose whether to enter and subscribe.
Not all spaces require money to subscribe. The spaces Mo Fan saw at first were only a few, and most spaces had very few subscribers.
The titles of many spaces read: You can spray, but don’t leave.
Some spaces even offer free subscriptions in order to attract viewers, as well as cashback for watching for enough time.
After walking with Sharon on Random Avenue for a while, he began to gradually understand the usage of free circles.
The entire golden tree is the body of the free world, and each leaf is an independent space.
Every free user can apply for a private space.
Users can arrange the space in any way they like.
As long as they are within their authority, the user is the master of that space and can freely control everything and be omnipotent.
No wonder Sharon said that only in the free world can the human soul be free for a short time.
They quickly reached the end of the path, where the portal machine they came through was placed at the intersection.
If this random avenue doesn't find an interesting space, they can go through the door and into the next passage.
Next to the portal, there is a screen as high as one person.
Sharon pointed at the screen and said: "After looking around, it's time for you to try to enter your own space."
Mo Fan came to the screen and chose to apply for personal space. The type was free, and the specifications and layout were selected as default.
As the message that the application was successful appeared, his eyes flashed and he entered his own space.
Before he could see the images around him clearly, he felt that the Dayan body-training method in his body was stirring.
