Chapter 13 Domain
This is the most common low-rent housing in Shenmoss District. It is assembled from a kind of polyethylene plastic plywood. Song Shi lives on the third floor.
Song Shi walked quickly upstairs through a narrow and winding alley. The turbid and sultry air hit him in the face. There were people huddled in the corridors on each floor. The dim light shone through the misty smoke, reflecting indifferent faces.
The temperature adaptability of low-rent housing is not very strong, but it is much warmer than the outdoors. Every night, these people will come out and spend the night in the corridor.
Hearing the noise, some people raised their heads slightly and glanced at the young man walking through the corridor, but most people just buried their heads in the quilts wrapped around them, indifferent to everything.
These people are very well behaved.
Although there are always scattered needles, cigarette butts, and various suspicious stains of garbage in the corridor every morning, they will not harass the residents here. They just quietly do their own things and stay there for the night - those who don't follow the rules will be thrown out by other people who stay overnight.
Song Shi walked through the crowded corridor and stopped in front of a door.
When the fingerprint was tried for the fifth time, this old smart-controlled door, which had passed through countless owners, finally creaked and slowly opened.
But it immediately got stuck at one-third of the slide rail.
Song Shi's expression remained unchanged, but he was speechless in his heart.
He pried the door open with force, squeezed in, and then closed it with a loud "click".
"call--"
Stepping in, Song Shi let out a breath of foul air.
The space of this low-rent apartment is quite small, about eight or nine square meters. The moment you enter, the cramped space squeezes towards you, bringing an indescribable feeling of suffocation.
".Um."
Although he had related memories, it was only when Song Shi stepped into the room and looked around at the surrounding layout with his own eyes that he truly felt a subtle sense of reality.
The metal shutters, which showed obvious signs of acid rain corrosion, were closed tightly, and next to the window was a wooden desk.
This desk is a rare treasure. I bought it at a garbage disposal site for 13 credit points. It is made of real wood, with a black walnut content of up to %. The original price is at least to credit points.
Probably because two corners of the table were chipped and a piece of the table top was badly discolored, the original owner didn't want it, and Song Shi picked it up at a bargain price.
This wooden table was cut into two with a cutter. Song Shi kept one half for himself and the other half was placed in the opposite room.
The resident opposite was a corporate employee who had just graduated and was still in his probation period. He had an overwhelming amount of tasks scheduled every day, so when he saw Song Shi picking up the wooden table, he spent a hundred yuan to buy half of it and used it to voluntarily work at home every night.
There were some sundries on the table, including a few magnetic cards, chewing gum, lighters and the like. Song Shi skipped over them, quickly took a shower in the bathroom, changed into clean clothes, dug out a box from under the bed, took out the things inside and put them on the table.
This is a device that looks like head-mounted glasses, with a high-tech texture, some kind of high-precision crystal grinding, and multiple contacts for neural connection.
When Song Shi came of age, everyone at the Romond Welfare Home pooled money to give him this as a birthday present.
"Jack's Seed" portable deep-diving device.
The previous generation of products from the giant company [Zero Degree Network] mainly targets the mid-to-low-end civilian market.
For those who do not have implanted prostheses such as deep-diving technology, they can only go deeper into the network through this external expansion device.
For example, one of the most common uses of "deep diving devices" is virtual reality services.
By connecting to neural circuits with touch terminals, simulated servos, cognitive simulation and other technologies, the five senses are simulated, making people feel as if they are in the scene and unable to distinguish between reality and the Internet. This is "virtual reality."
[Brain in a Vat] is the pinnacle of "virtual reality" technology.
Valhalla, one of the most popular live streaming platforms, provides a premium service called "Heroic Tribute". When a user's consumption in the live streaming room reaches a certain amount, they can invite the anchor to enter an online private room - both parties generate a "stand-in doll" through the uploaded data and do some Gala Gala Modo Modo things.
There are many more things you can do in the virtual world than in the real world.
Including but not limited to adjusting personal sensitivity multiples, scene replacement, and various special props.
This is why Song Shi wanted to come back.
of course.
It was definitely not for the purpose of giving rewards in the live broadcast room or playing any virtual games. He wanted to use another main function of the network deep diving device, "deep diving", to sneak into the lower network domain outside the [network firewall] and go to a certain place.
Originally, Song Shi was just an orphan from an orphanage. He had no access to many things and had almost no connections.
Right now, that is the only place that can be used for emergency response.
——Replace equipment, purchase intelligence, and find out the situation in Palose.
Even though he had memories of the next twenty years and knew some major events in the future, the most important thing at the moment was to recover his strength as soon as possible and deal with the "Parousse Institute of Mental Psychiatry III" which would never give up.
As for later.
Last time, I stopped at the fourth ring of spiritual power, [Sublimation].
And this time, I must see the scenery of the fifth ring of psychic energy, [True Spirit] with my own eyes!
Song Shi packed up his equipment, looked around again, thought about it, and decided not to take anything else.
There's always a day to come back.
"Hello, we have arrived at our destination. This service costs 450 credit points. We do not support installment payment. Please complete the payment within five minutes, otherwise I will..."
The calm and gentle voice of the in-car intelligence suddenly changed, and said happily:
“Confirm payment is successful! Thank you for your patronage! This service is provided by Convens Travel! Welcome to visit us next time!”
The intelligent control and vehicle technologies of the giant company [Time Sequential Access] are world-renowned. "Convis Mobility" is a sub-brand of the former, focusing on the low-end unmanned vehicle travel service market.
In addition to its own travel services, "Convens Travel" also provides value-added services: anonymous travel, including but not limited to clearing travel records and concealing user information - at least the Municipal Security Bureau is not qualified to ask the former for relevant data.
This is also the reason why Song Shi’s fare this time was as high as 450 credit points.
Song Shi gathered his coat and walked into a hotel.
Crooked and faded signs, dim and flickering lights, stuffy and turbid air, lingering smell of cheap alcohol, and suspicious syringes and nicotine atomizer filters hidden in dark corners.
This is the most common inn in the Deep Moss District, cheap, old, and full of corruption.
But in the deep moss area where a large number of cameras are damaged, there is a dense flow of people, and there are all kinds of people, this kind of place also means relative safety.
"Book a room for the night."
no respond.
A middle-aged man was lying on a chair behind the counter. The helmet he was wearing was obviously a kind of deep-diving equipment. He was probably watching some exciting program, and his breathing was becoming faster at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When he was about to reach the top, a loud voice suddenly sounded, forcibly interrupting the man - his helmet was not a high-end product, the immersion level was not high, and its ability to resist environmental interference was very weak. It was very easy to be interrupted by external forces, causing him to exit virtual reality.
"grass!"
The man wailed and pulled off his helmet, only to find someone standing in front of the counter.
"Boss, book a room for the night."
Song Shi slowly withdrew his hand that was knocking on the counter and said with a smile.
"Can't you wait a little longer?"
The man sighed weakly, stood up reluctantly, and fiddled with the tablet in front of him:
"There are still empty rooms. By the way, do you need to call someone? Do you want to eat candy?"
"No, I don't eat candy."
"Then it's B302, credits a night, scan the QR code on the wall yourself."
The other party rummaged in the drawer for a while, then threw a magnetic card over and said, "Check out before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and remember to come and return the room card."
"no problem."
Avoiding the exposed wires that fell from the gap in the ceiling, Song Shi went up to the third floor, swiped the magnetic card, and entered room B302.
Song Shi sat on the bed, took out his glasses and put them on.

【——Welcome to use the "Jack's Seed" network deep diving equipment】
The device is ready.
When Song Shi opened his eyes again, the base scene composed of three-dimensional grid disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by the bizarre network world.
The next step is to find the entrance address.
go for a trip.
