So she stretched out her hand to stop the door from closing and said, "Now that we are here, why don't you invite me in and sit for a while?"
Hey! Are you sure you want to be my guest at this time? The one inside obviously doesn't want to be seen by outsiders, right? Wouldn't you feel embarrassed if you saw him?
Well, the other person is the kind of person who can say something like "studying the process of creating life" without batting an eyelid. Obviously, he may not have any other thoughts about seeing the body of a person of the same sex. Maybe he has just lived too long and is knowledgeable!
As the management AI of the Holy Grail, maybe he could even see the magic replenishment between the master and the servants in the previous Holy Grail Wars through the Command Spells!
Ling Wu Ji was filled with complaints.
But now that the other party has said that, it is not easy for him to refuse the other party. Of course, Ling Wuji actually doesn't care about such etiquette. For him, being a guest is meaningless if it is just for contact. Since communication software can do it, why do they have to meet in person?
"Ling Jun, your idea is too avant-garde. I'm sorry I can't understand it," the silver-haired, red-eyed woman said as she looked around Ling Wuji's residence curiously, "If we don't meet, then what are you going to do to satisfy your physical needs like you are doing now?"
"If you don't want offspring, you can use VR technology to solve the problem, right?"
Ling Wu Ji said it casually.
"Descendants?"
Yustisa was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
"You are now..."
Ling Wuji looked at the instant noodle bucket in his hand and immediately realized: "If you say that, as long as the nutrition is met, the taste should be reproducible through VR technology..."
“VR is such a wonderful technology.”
Yustisa is a bit of a good read.
Ling Wuji thought her reaction was a bit strange, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"No," the Winter Saint was a little restless on the sofa in the living room, but she still stared at the boy with her blood-red crystal eyes and said, "I was just wondering, if the so-called VR technology can really satisfy human physiological needs from a sensory perspective as you said, then, won't it really make people immersed in the virtual world and unwilling to wake up?"

“Although I don’t know why discussing these issues with you makes me feel like I’m in a science fiction world instead of a fantasy world, I suggest you watch The Matrix,” Ling Wuji heard her ask, and just washed the kitchen utensils in the kitchen that he had hardly used since he moved in, and then started to cook instant noodles, saying, “Not to mention, the resources of today’s human society don’t seem to be rich enough to support most people to fall into such a world without having to obtain the necessary living conditions through labor…”
"But that possibility does exist, right?"
Ling Wuji thought about it and said, "I don't deny that possibility. Although I think that some jobs in society today don't actually have much value, this society still compromises with those jobs that have little value in order to create economic circulation. In the future, society may develop in a way that although the overall social resources can indeed allow all human beings to live a life of ease and comfort even if they don't work, the operation of the entire society still requires most people to do jobs that actually produce little value..."
When Justissa Rizleich von Einzbern heard Ling Wuji's conclusion, which had such messy logic that was like a castle in the air, she didn't know what to say for a moment.
The picture of the future described by Ling Wu Ji was a little too cruel for someone like her who once hoped to bring salvation to all mankind.
"why?"
“Monopoly is the natural goal of capital?”
Ling Wu Ji said this casually, and then he saw the woman looking at him with a strange look.
"how?"
"As I recall, isn't Lingjun an international student from that western country?"
"From a purely geographical point of view, you are also a German!"
"What I mean is, doesn't China believe in communism now?"
"Lao Ma used to be a German!"
Ling Wuji rolled his eyes and said.
"It doesn't seem to matter, does it?"
"I am a pessimist. I think things will not necessarily go in the ideal direction, just like your plan to use the Holy Grail to materialize the human soul. Even if we don't take Gaia's problem into consideration, after the materialization of the souls of all mankind is achieved, the various problems and contradictions that exist in human society itself, the conflicts between classes, ethnicities, countries, genders and even ideologies will not disappear just because humans gain immortality. They may even intensify..."
"But if you think that way, doesn't that mean you think the progress of human society is ultimately meaningless?"
"There is no such thing as meaning."
Ling Wuji just raised his eyebrows and said something nonsense.
The Winter Saint was also stunned for a moment after hearing that nonsense, and then said: "But why do you choose to break the wall between the inner and outer worlds? If you don't recognize the significance of social progress, then you should hide in the mountains and forests and not care about worldly affairs."
"Strictly speaking, I acknowledge the significance of technological progress."
Although it has only been a short time since she ran out of the Holy Grail, the Winter Saint is not completely ignorant of the changes in the world. She also feels that the advancement of science and technology does have some kind of unspeakable power on this world. After all, the Internet was just a prototype in the 1990s, but in today's society, it has penetrated into every corner of the society, greatly changing the face of this society, and even transforming this society to a certain extent.
Of course, for the Japanese who still conservatively use fax machines in their offices, this change is a bit too drastic.
But when the Winter Saint heard him say that, she changed the subject: "So, what I mean is, if VR technology can ultimately simulate a complete world without loopholes, then this technology can actually simulate a person's entire life, and even convert human consciousness into photoelectric signals and store them in electronic components, so that person..."
When Ling Wuji heard her say that, he thought she had given up that goal, but she was still thinking about these questions?
However, similar questions have actually been raised in related topics.
Moreover, strictly speaking, the woman in front of him had actually completed that process once.
However, the carrier of her consciousness was the Holy Grail instead of some electronic components, and she was also a user of the third magic, and had already completed the materialization of her soul. He was not sure whether it was applicable to ordinary people. He had not found the simulation program that Kayaba Akihiko had uploaded to the Internet after scanning his brain with a device, and...
“Not everyone can accept this way of living, right?”
And to be honest, Ling Wu Ji felt it was incredible that the communication between the two of them could develop to this level.
Is he someone who is so keen on exploring the future survival mode of mankind?
Needless to say, in his opinion, he was very satisfied with his current living condition. Although he did not understand what the so-called Nascent Soul and Yang God were, it did not matter to him even if he stayed in his current state forever. Sometimes he would even take the initiative to close the overly sensitive senses brought to him by the Golden Core stage. After all, the information that could be detected by that sense was sometimes too noisy.
After converting human consciousness into that state, even if we can now use VR technology to simulate photoelectric signals into human senses, if human consciousness itself is a photoelectric signal, why should we retain the original senses?
Ling Wu Ji felt as if he was trapped in a strange logical circle.
"But if anyone can accept..."
"I say, are you planning to use androids for experiments?" Ling Wuji keenly sensed her intention and said, "I advise you not to do that. Although I don't deny that you androids can be considered a type of human, the premise for androids to identify themselves as humans is that they have a similar survival form to humans. But if you do that, then it's hard to say whether the androids that have become AI will maintain that sense of identity. Who knows, by then, they might undergo some strange logical evolution in the online world in order to achieve your illusory goal, such as changing the definition of humans who can get relief into a situation that only a small number of people can meet, and in the end..."
"Will it become a crisis that destroys the world?"
Volume 4: Where is Penglai: Chapter 47: Misunderstanding
"But if that's the case, haven't you saved the world many times?"
Justisa Rizleich von Einzbern looked at him and said.
Hearing her words, Ling Wuji shook his head, looked at the instant noodles in his hand, and said, "I don't think I have ever saved the world, or prevented the outbreak of a crisis that would destroy the world. If the world is destined to be destroyed, then this can only mean that these are just preludes. But if the crisis of world destruction can be prevented before it breaks out, then it means that the world has never been saved."
He tasted it and then took the instant noodles to Arisa, who was still in the bedroom.
"I say, where's my share?"
When Ling Wuzhi came out of the bedroom, Yusitisa opened her bloodshot eyes wide and felt a little strange.
"At your current level, you shouldn't need to eat, right?"
Let Wu Ji speak.
He really didn't expect that the Winter Saint would be interested in instant noodles.
Of course, in theory, his hospitality was a mess.
Because since she came in, Ling Wuzhi just gave her a can of Coke and didn't care about her anymore.
"Then I also want to ask, at your current level, you clearly know that the possibility of leaving an heir is very small, so why do you still want to be so involved with that young lady, in broad daylight..."
The tone of the silver-haired, red-eyed woman when she spoke these words was solemn and holy, just like a nun reading the Bible to an adopted child in a monastery. For a moment, Ling Wuji couldn't even figure out whether she really didn't understand or was deliberately making such a gesture to tease him. However, seeing her like this, Ling Wuji couldn't help but interrupt her. After all, Ling Wuji felt that it was simply blasphemy to hear that word coming out of her mouth:
"It's just the pursuit of some physical sensation..."
"Pleasure?"
"Correct."
"Then why can't I pursue the physical pleasure you mentioned?"
Ling Wuji immediately sighed: "You will make me misunderstand if you say that."
"What misunderstanding?"
"Never mind. That's not important."
Ling Wuji waved his hand, but still brought her a bowl of instant noodles. As he walked into the kitchen, Justisa Rizleich von Einzbern immediately reacted, and looked at Ling Wuji with a red face, almost unable to hold the chopsticks.
"How about it?"
"What...how?"
"The taste. You said you wanted to eat instant noodles just to try the taste of them, right?"
Although for Ling Wuzhi, who almost vomited from eating instant noodles during his college life in his previous life, instant noodles are definitely not delicious. Although he missed this kind of thing when he was a child, when he went to college he could use his living expenses freely, so he had to save money and eat instant noodles until he vomited. The taste was almost the same as ordinary bread.
Of course, I am referring to the kind of retail bread wrapped in plastic bags in supermarkets.
As for what freshly baked ones are like, he has never had the chance to try them.
Although he actually wasn't interested.
In the eyes of the Winter Saint, after Ling Wuji said "You will make me misunderstand if you say that", the boy's scrutiny of her had the so-called profound meaning of "male gaze" in it. So even though she had been curious about this kind of food before, and part of the reason was actually because she was attracted by the contrast that a person of Ling Wuji's status would actually cook for an insignificant person on the secular side, but at this moment, under Ling Wuji's gaze, she felt like chewing wax and could not taste anything at all.
"It's... not bad."
So that's all she could say.
Ling Wuji also noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with her attitude.
But he didn't take it to heart.
After all, the other party is a person from hundreds of years ago who has just come into contact with the present world.
It’s normal to not feel comfortable with current conversations or even life.
That's not right. She obviously accepted VR technology very quickly and even proposed a concept equivalent to mechanical ascension. This means that she has quickly adapted to the current society and all the new concepts that come with it. Ling Wu Ji even heard that people from the IS forces said that her command was quickly standardized. There is no reason why she can't cope with it now, right?
Let Wu Ji think about it.
"Ling Jun, although I think you are a good candidate for a partner, this is wrong!"
But the woman couldn't stand Ling Wuzhi's gaze on her, so she pointed it out sternly.
Hey! What's going on with your brain?
How on earth could you have thought of getting there?
I don’t think I have ever mentioned my personal love life on my own initiative, right?
And you didn't seem to be criticizing my private life before?
