A new volume has begun, this volume is called "The Palace of All Things".
**578 I'm back**
December 22, 2022, 6 pm.
But this is the time in Rongdu, Qingmang Republic. If we switch to the Taotie Redwood City, it will be five o'clock in the morning on the same day.
Luo An had just had breakfast. He was sitting in an office that was spotlessly clean, as orderly as a chip factory, and dominated by warm colors, typing away on the keyboard in his hands.
Even after becoming an immortal god, he still insists on going to bed at eleven o'clock in the evening, getting up at four o'clock in the morning to exercise, wash up, have breakfast, and then start work like a mortal.
His work has nothing to do with Taotie's various national affairs. God has no need or disdain to interfere with the world. The mediocre things will be dealt with by mediocre people.
He spends all his time doing what he does best: finding vulnerabilities in the world's code world and creating invincible protection and attack code.
In his view, the world actually has two levels.
The outer layer that people see is composed of atoms and molecules of stone, soil, natural objects, artificial structures and various living things. This is the representation, the body of the world, which is the world of things.
The real soul is preserved in the nervous system made of protein and water, and in chips made of silicon wafers and semiconductors.
They control logic, allow signals to flow in circuits and neural links, and control the most active and meaningful part of the world behind the scenes.
This is the real "spiritual world". Luo An no longer cares about the "physical world", he only focuses on wandering in the spiritual world.
How to open the channel between the program and human consciousness is the biggest problem he faces. Once cracked, he will be able to freely enter and control the hearts of all humans around the world just like a control program. But this step is extremely difficult.
His weapon is his code. He is still sitting in the same office chair as when he worked at Mantis Technology, holding an ordinary membrane keyboard and writing code by tapping on the keyboard.
The only difference is that the computer he's using has been vastly improved. In fact, the computer he is using now is the Taotie National Space Computer buried deep underground.
Although Qingmang's national computer has made rapid progress, Taotie's national computer is still one of the most powerful in the world.
With this machine, even a large-scale online game with 100 million players on the same screen will not have any lags. Of course you have to have a big enough monitor.
Luo An's display is a super AR that directly interacts with his optic nerve, and densely packed flashing characters are suspended in the air.
At this moment, his heart seemed to throb.
There was a weird twist in the colorful codes. It is as if a convex lens has been thrown in front of the symbols.
Luo An's originally calm mood stirred up a whole wave. He raised his head and stared closely.
The characters on the screen are still distorting, and the convex lens is changing, gradually transforming into a transparent, slender woman's body.
Then the surface of her body directly absorbed the color from the code characters and turned into a colored metal material composed of red, yellow, blue and gray similar to the code style.
It is like a finely carved statue of a girl, a beautiful body art.
But she's just a woman.
Luo An stood up, pushed the office chair back, and then knelt down on one knee, his tone mixed with piety and unconcealable joy:
"You are finally back."
Since the age of the God of Death, Qi Mei has been a slave of the Luo An family on the surface, but this has never been the case. The opposite is true. Qi Mei is his real master.
Whether he is in Qingmang or Taotie, working for anyone is just a transaction, and it is also a transaction arranged for him by Qi Mei behind his back.
Only serving Qi Mei is his true duty.
During the long thousand years, he and his master had been together less and more apart, making his heart full of regrets and even a little dissatisfied.
But this dissatisfaction disappeared completely when the master appeared again, even in the illusory code world.
Her very presence heals all scars.
"Yes, I'm back."
Qi Mei looked around, and this environment felt strange to her. Of course she has never been here, let alone "come back".
But she felt that she should go with what Luo An said.
"But I'm leaving soon."
She said again with a little regret.
Luo An lamented:
"Fortunately, it won't take a thousand years this time."
He still didn't get up and kept kneeling on one knee. He seemed to have lingering fears about the past thousand years.
Qi Mei smiled casually:
"How can there be so many thousand years? This thousand years must be consumed, otherwise this world is too primitive and cannot meet our requirements.
"It is impossible to have another thousand years. Although it is impossible to predict what will happen after another thousand years, I feel that this world does not have such a long lifespan.
"I'm saying that I'm free now. I'm free from Suzaku's control, so no matter where I am, there will be no difference from being by your side."
"Hmm. So where are you going next?"
Qi Mei didn't answer, but quietly began to disappear.
As the human figure made of code disappeared completely in front of him, the code screen returned to calm. Luo An stood up a little disappointed, pulled the chair back and sat down again.
All the words Qi Mei said are still saved in the form of text in the chat history of Must Die.
She was connected through Must Die, and her avatar is a graceful woman looking at the sunset on the beach.
At this time, he was surprised to find that Qi Mei's profile picture moved.
"Don't worry, I will be back soon this time."
"good."
When the biggest licker in history had just finished licking her with this word, another wife-licker was taking care of his wife in the ward.
The avalanche did not happen, Qi Mei fell off the cliff and was broken into pieces. Meng Fei climbed back to the top of the mountain, and the people sent by Li Mu also arrived.
Ai Ting and Suzaku were taken directly back to Wutong City by helicopter and then sent to the hospital. Yes, two gods were admitted to the hospital!
According to Suzaku's explanation, it is completely feasible to use the vitality of the Qingmang Goddess to "repair" them.
But this is the same as Hema's treatment of people's diseases. They are all operations to swallow negative entropy and bring chaos to the world.
Especially when it comes to gods, negative entropy losses are huge. This is not recommended unless it is an emergency situation during combat.
You won't have this problem if you lie in the hospital. The negative entropy needed for hospital treatment and injury is generated by doctors, nurses and hospital managers, with no unnecessary loss.
Not only that, treating any patient or injury will allow doctors to accumulate experience and improve medical technology, which will continue to produce negative entropy, and the more it is used, the more it will become.
So in this world, God can only consume negative entropy. Mortals, like photosynthetic plants, will continue to create negative entropy.
This is the special needs ward of Red Kingfisher Hospital not far from Moon Hall. The room that originally had only one hospital bed was crammed into two.
