Chapter 549 Changes in the Real World
Chen Luo put on the facial simulator again, adjusted his appearance to an ordinary one, randomly selected a teleportation point, and disappeared into the laboratory.
The next moment, Chen Luo had appeared on the roof of a building in Pengcheng.
Chen Luo did not jump directly from the air this time, but took the elevator to the first floor.
As a first-tier city, Pengcheng is no less prosperous than Beijing and Shanghai. From its location, you can see skyscrapers with no tops visible in all directions.
There are people coming and going on the streets, and everyone is in a hurry. It is obvious that the pace of life here is much faster than that in Jiangcheng.
"Book a flight to Yangcheng after six o'clock in the evening."
"Navigating Lijin City."
"play music."
...
Chen Luo was walking on the street and found that many pedestrians on the road were talking to themselves, but everyone was not surprised, as if they were used to it.
Chen Luo took a few glances, then found a street coffee shop and sat down, slowly observing the world ten years from now.
The first thing that surprised Chen Luo was that everyone's mobile phones were completely different from what he had.
Some mobile phones have folding screens that can be opened like a book. Videos are playing on one screen, and a chat interface appears on the other screen. Obviously, they are used for two purposes.
Some mobile phones have curved screens that can be bent and folded at will.
People in coffee shops are the same as people on the street. When they type on the screen, they use voice instead of manual input.
Chen Luo looked at it for a moment, then looked at the mobile phone in his hand, and suddenly felt a sense of time and space being confused.
His mobile phone may have been considered the best ten years ago, but now it is probably not even as good as a mobile phone for the elderly.
Chen Luo looked at his mobile phone, smiled, and immediately got up to find a mobile phone store.
On the road, Chen Luo also discovered changes on the streets. Most of the vehicles on the streets have become electric vehicles. Whether they are ordinary vehicles or sports cars, they all have new energy license plates.
Interestingly, Chen Luo found many advertisements for gaming helmets and gaming warehouses on the roadside. Regardless of the type of product, they all used "Second Life" to advertise.
What made Chen Luo even more amused was that he actually saw the endorsement advertisements of Fang Xingchen and Zhao Yi, and they seemed to be endorsing very big brands.
"Should I charge some copyright fees?"
Chen Luo felt speechless. "Second Life" said it had an official game, but in fact he was the only one.
These equipment companies and advertisers used it for advertising, and no one came to defend their rights, so they naturally used it unscrupulously.
Chen Luo smiled and forgot about it in an instant. He could also guess why this situation occurred.
As the terrifying influence of "Second Life" spreads around the world, many huge industrial chains have been formed around it.
Take the VR glasses for example. After these equipment manufacturers make money through this game, driven by profits, they naturally have greater motivation to research equipment that is more comfortable and has a stronger experience.
In fact, the reason why Second Life is so real is because players enter the fantasy world with their souls, and it has nothing to do with the equipment.
As long as their equipment can be connected to the network and they get permission from Hunyuanbi or Chen Luo, they can enter the Western Fantasy World.
The game warehouse is naturally designed to solve the problem of players playing games, food and water in the Western Fantasy World for a long time.
Nutrients can be placed in these game chambers in advance, and can be injected into the player's body regularly according to the player's settings. Even if they are in the fantasy world for a long time, the body in reality will not collapse.
According to Chen Luo's estimation, it will take at least fifty years or even longer for this kind of game warehouse to appear.
But when everyone knew that the Western Fantasy World was a real game, and that one could become a transcendent in the Western Fantasy World, and there was a greater chance of awakening and becoming a transcendent in reality, almost everyone went crazy for this game.
Now "Second Life" has become a well-known game all over the world. Among all minors, the most desired adult gift is a game helmet or game console.
Under such terrifying demand, a large number of game equipment companies have naturally spawned. Not only private companies are researching equipment, but also major national laboratories are conducting research in this area.
Decisions at the national strategic level, coupled with the influx of huge capital, suddenly made this industry more popular than ever before.
As a result, the game warehouse that originally took decades to develop was developed in just ten years.
But now the cost is extremely high, and only families above the middle class can afford it.
Chen Luo searched for a while on the street and soon found a mobile phone store.
The clerk inside took a look at Chen Luo's appearance, but no one came to greet him.
Chen Luo looks average, and the clothes he wears are still the same as those ten years ago, which seems a bit old-fashioned now.
Naturally, Chen Luo didn't care about the attitudes of these ordinary people. He didn't waste time and directly picked out a curved screen and a folding screen and went to pay for them.
But there was a problem when paying, because the cashier no longer used mobile phones to pay, but paid by swiping your face and fingerprint.
This is just like ten years ago, when mobile payments were everywhere and few people took cash out with them.
But now it’s just facial recognition, there is no QR code to scan.
"Can I transfer money?"
Chen Luo glanced at the cashier and asked.
The cashier looked at Chen Luo holding the "senior machine" with a strange expression on her face. These days, there are almost no people who have not enabled facial recognition payment. Even primary school students have the function of facial recognition payment.
"Yes, sir, you can transfer the money to this bank card."
When Chen Luo picked up his mobile phone and prepared to pay using the payment software, a new problem arose.
"The version has been deactivated, please update to the latest version."
Chen Luo chose to update, but a new prompt popped up, "The latest version does not support your mobile phone model, please try changing your mobile phone."
Chen Luo was dumbfounded. He knew that there was no need to try mobile online banking again, as the result would definitely be the same.
"There is something wrong with my mobile phone. Can I put my mobile phone card into a new mobile phone and I can pay again?"
The cashier was stunned for a moment. She looked at Chen Luo's elderly phone and said with a smile on her face, "Sir, both of these phones need to be activated before they can be used. Once activated, there is no way to return them. And even if I let
If you do this, your mobile phone card should still be an old-fashioned SIM card, which cannot be put into these mobile phones."
"forget about it."
Chen Luo didn't care at all. He pushed the two mobile phones back and planned to let Song Zhengxian prepare them.
"I'll help you pay. You change your phone and transfer the money to me."
