Thursday, June 20, 2097, sunny.
In the morning, Zhong Man took a short jog along the winding path in the jungle on the north bank, panting.
Alerts kept popping up in the work group and related mailboxes, and the corresponding information kept opening and closing on the retina. Although the formats and writing methods were all strange, for Zhong Man, who was already well versed in this, he could roughly figure out the customer by just looking at it. requirements.
Well, it’s also because today’s businesses overlap too much.
It’s truly top-notch. If there were humanoid wallets like this crossing the border every day, I would post them!
This kind of nonsense can only be said twice in your head.
After all, in the current context where aberrations still occupy most areas of the earth's ecosystem and dozens of metropolitan areas are autonomous, the efficiency of people and logistics has declined catastrophically compared to before the Third World War.
Even though the information network now covers the world, the counterattack on the wilderness seems to be picking up, but for the entertainment industry floating on the surface of the entire social economy, it is still in the stage of painful separation from past experience.
In recent years, following the advancement of technology, some virtual idol businesses have emerged and seem to be becoming a trend. However, those real-life entertainment stars who live in the real world and need to eat, drink, and have sex are inevitably impacted. It is becoming increasingly difficult for them to cross the barriers of the city and gain regional or even global reputation.
Then again, virtual idols that can be accessed as long as there is a network and access equipment are too cheap to a certain extent. Still those real stars with blood, flesh, distance, and flaws need the love and support of fans even more.
The separation of the wilderness and the threat of aberrations make every cross-city performance by these stars have an aura of love, dedication and even tragedy, which makes the relevant fans more and more unable to stop.
Therefore, every time at this time, the queue to pick up passengers at the airport is extremely crazy. It seems to be a bit more sincere than that era of mature commercial and professional entertainment.
It is precisely in this chaotic background that how to make good use of high-performance high-definition cameras that are also prone to exposing defects, and PS technology that is increasingly vulnerable to reverse restoration methods, to create virtual idols that can match those flawless ones. Comparable materials are becoming more and more difficult and professional.
Zhong Man is such a professional who rises to the challenge, and calls himself an expert in proxy photography who can never be sentimental. Of course, in the eyes of her collaborators, she is a senior station lady who can entrust her with trust and fully display the perfect state of her idol.
"The airship arrives at the port at 3:00 pm. The seat has been pre-occupied. The team on the opposite side is also OK. You can have breakfast before going over... The prices at the airport are simply inhumane."
Zhong Man checked the time again and decided to end today's morning run. He also no longer planned to come to the jungle on the north coast in the coming days.
Compared with the South Bank Campus, most of this area is still an undeveloped wilderness. You can see it from a distance, but you really have to run for a while in the depths of the jungle, especially in the vibrant summer season, where all kinds of strange reptiles, animals, Strange birds are too much trouble.
She raised her head, straightened her long neck that satisfied her most, corrected her direction slightly, and ran towards the most conspicuous artificial structure nearby, the North Shore Gear.
There is at least a green oxygen track there, and there are no other problems except that there are a little more students doing morning exercises.
When Zhong Man stepped onto the artificial track, her perseverance and interest in morning exercises had been exhausted. She slowed down her pace, slowly adjusted her breathing, and began to adjust the external device embedded in the auricle, which was a bit like a return of the ear.
This set of small and valuable external devices was just purchased a few days ago. It is specially used to upgrade the recording function of personal smart brain devices, enhance real-time rendering capabilities, and achieve ultra-realistic effects, ensuring that she can operate in complex environments. There is still a life-saving straw that can be harvested.
Although in addition to the main functions, it also comes with "portable reality" and other embarrassing functions that seem to be high-end but are actually unreliable, in order to ensure the best effect, Zhong Man still gritted his teeth and bought the flagship version. In this way, almost all the savings were wiped out, plus the salary for the next three months.
Whether you can guarantee that you will not starve to death in the next three months depends on the effect of this baby!
The latest news from various channels has not stopped, and the information that the top man is about to arrive in Xia City has been spread all over the special small circle. Others uploaded live photos of the airport, which was quickly filled with ardent female fans.
Zhong Man hesitated: Maybe earlier?
"Hi, beauty, you look very eye-catching."
The old-fashioned but thin greeting suddenly rang in my ears.
Under Zhong Man's surprised look, a tall and thin boy with a similar body shape to her panted to her side. He was wearing retro glasses. It was unclear whether he was a gentle man or a gentle scum, with a smile on his face:
"I haven't seen you in the club..."
"I just joined the job this month, this classmate." Zhong Mancai didn't waste time on this inexplicable conversation and directly revealed his identity as a faculty member.
It was obvious that this tall and lanky young man was not a veteran, and he obviously choked. Zhong Man took the opportunity to leave the runway and enter the adjacent forest path.
According to the electronic map, this leads directly to the North Shore Gear Square, where you can take the free commuter bus.
What was a little surprising was that the young man followed him again. Even though Zhong Man stared back at him and felt a little guilty, he still approached the conversation with an attitude that seemed to be an explanation and a refusal to give up:
"Teacher, don't get me wrong. I'm also going back to the club. It's not like you are so young! Oh, my name is Tian Qi. I will be a junior when school starts again. My major is architectural intelligent design. The club is in front..."
This section of the forest path was actually quite short. As Tian Qi stammered, they bypassed a section of the arc-shaped outer wall on the side of the gear, and could see the relatively empty square in front of the gear.
Zhong Man only ignored the words of the young people around him, adjusting various parameters of the equipment at will, looking at the people and scenery around him, zooming in and out smoothly, and taking a few empty shots to try out the feel.
During this period, she also found the commuter bus stop and walked straight in that direction.
Entering the square, Zhong Man relied on his determined attitude and fast walking speed to quickly leave the boy named Tian behind.
A commuter bus happened to arrive at the station, and Zhong Man was already preparing to get on the bus. He was far away from the gears, but suddenly there was a small commotion.
Calling it a commotion is a bit exaggerated, but in fact it is just a change in the atmosphere. It seems that someone called a certain name. Half of the scattered people in the morning square looked over - at this time, human beings are the most important. Sensitive animals unconsciously align themselves with their own kind.
Relying entirely on his professional sensitivity, Zhong Man turned around. He didn’t have his usual camera at hand, but he used the retinal camera of his personal brain, supported by a newly configured external device, to quickly zoom in a "what you see is what you get" mode. , framing the entrance at the far end of the square.
At this time, someone happened to come in over there.
The device automatically locks the face and continues to focus.
Strangely enough, the two people framed in the frame seemed to be very sensitive, and they turned their faces and eyes here almost simultaneously...
Then the picture is frozen, and according to the preset mode, the continuous shooting and video recording functions are respectively activated to continuously track and shoot.
At the same time, Zhong Man also used the professionalism of a station sister to use peripheral functions to open up a second perspective and try to capture more accurately.
"The smoothness of this kind of recognition of thoughts, and the clarity of the second perspective. I have made money. Even if I have to advance three months' salary, I still make money!"
In contrast, photos are most likely useless and are just used to warm up the equipment...
Why!
Zhong Man let out a low cry. An obstruction suddenly moved in front of her "lens", directly destroying the originally clear imaging field of view.
It took her half a second to switch from camera logic to reality logic, and then she confirmed that someone deliberately stretched out his hand to block her eyes.
"Hello!"
"Ahem, this teacher. I sincerely suggest you that in such a nice weather, the air is fresh, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, wouldn't it be nice to chat with handsome men and beauties?"
Another forced conversation?
No, just block the shot.
Zhong Man frowned and did not force another shot. She is just a proxy photographer who doesn't have any feelings, not a fanatical bastard. There is no need to conflict with people over photos of unknown value.
But……
"you again?"
"Yes, what a coincidence. Teacher, do you want to go back to South Campus? We're going all the way..."
It can be seen that this college student named Tian Qi is not particularly good at saying these words, and his face is a little red behind his glasses. But it was this kind of temperament that made Zhong Man naturally guess:
"Over there, your friend?"
"Well, maybe... it's not enough? But the advice I give you now is from the perspective of a new friend."
"What advice?"
"keep distance."
Little brother, if you haven’t acted in a movie before, don’t force yourself to do it!
Zhong Man suppressed his outbursts and secretly synchronized the photos he just took to his own cloud space, triggering the relevant mechanism to instantly form multiple backups and then transfer them to other locations.
This is the instinct to protect your food when you meet those difficult celebrity bodyguards as a shooting agent. Of course, if everyone can resolve it peacefully, she will also destroy them all with professional ethics.
She didn't have to do this originally, but the serious attitude of the college student in front of her allowed her to sense the possible business opportunities inside.
However, she was a little disappointed that there was no negotiation, and Tian Qi did not have the toughness to ask her to delete the photos immediately.
The flirting was still annoying but not calm enough, making her feel that her mature charm could only provoke these little losers who had not really entered the society.
Looking at his physique, he is not even a little wolfdog.
Although she was also...very annoyed at the moment.
