Staring at the "receptionist" next to him, Cheng Lin moved his lips but didn't say anything after all.
He wanted to explain that in the era he lived in, this kind of thing was already rare. Many people would never encounter it in their lifetime, so why did it become a daily occurrence?
However, Thirteen was indeed smart. She seemed to see Cheng Lin's doubts and explained with a smile:
"Why do you think the park chose two hundred years ago as a template for restoration?"
Cheng Lin glanced at her, this was a good question:
"I would say it's probably because of information. As far as I know, before this era, although there were already methods of preserving images, photography, and photos had been invented, the data collected was still too little.
Until the Internet is really spread, big data stores enough information, involving all aspects of society. In theory, this excess data will always be allowed to be read. With the help of this, we can carry out the most complete restoration possible. As for how late it is
time……"
Cheng Lin smiled: "The closer it is to today, the less attractive it will be to tourists."
"Your thinking is very profound," Thirteen complimented in a programmed manner, and then said, "This is indeed a very important reason, but there is another soft factor, which is the issue of the times.
Taking the Xia Kingdom as an example, Xia, Shang and Zhou... Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing... spanned thousands of years, but in the end only a few of them were remembered.
For example, during the Taizong period of the Tang Dynasty, the Huizong period of the Song Dynasty, and the Qianlong period... The park conducted public opinion surveys before its construction, and it won with an absolute advantage in this era.
According to historical data, the current period is the early stage of the recovery of spiritual energy. In this era, some individuals among human beings have awakened and become those with extraordinary abilities. Some of these people have become greedy due to the expansion of their power, and frequent security incidents have occurred.
Robbery, destruction, killing, bullying...happened every day, that's why it was said to be the daily routine of the ancients."
As she was narrating, the commotion across the street further expanded. The young man who escaped was covered in flames and turned out to be an Awakened One. However, from Cheng Lin's perspective, this was just a first-level person, and he was also responsible for the explosion.
, this is undoubtedly a vicious case.
"stop!"
During the commotion, a tourist shrouded in an orange halo suddenly walked out from nearby, shouted loudly, took a step forward, and pulled out the afterimage. In a moment, he caught up with the awakened person, punched him until he vomited blood, and hit him against the greenery.
Take it with you. Police are coming nearby.
The shocked crowd calmed down and applauded the tourist.
"This is……"
"Experience project," Shisan added thoughtfully and gently when faced with Cheng Lin's question, "or it might be more appropriate to say it is a plot mission."
Cheng Lin looked across the street twice, nodded to express his understanding, and then continued the previous topic:
"So, this era was chosen to arrange this...task more reasonably?"
"Perhaps," Shisan smiled and followed Cheng Lin as he walked slowly, "According to historical data, similar robberies were very frequent. Of course, the Xia Kingdom's land area was too large, so it was diluted a little. The incidents that happened in each city at that time were not
So often."
Cheng Lin walked slowly along the street, crossed the street along the zebra crossing, and watched the crowd. After the Asian guest accepted the admiration of the crowd with dignity, he seemed to see Cheng Lin and waved to him in a friendly manner.
.
"Can I also trigger this kind of task?"
He returned the greeting from a distance and then asked softly.
"Of course, you can choose between two modes. One is the 'tourist' mode, which is the state you are in now. In this mode, you will not directly encounter any cases, such as the vicious case just now.
Even if it happens next door to you, the awakened person will not run towards you, you can regard it as part of the scenery here." Thirteen patiently explained.
"Well... that's understandable, it's just a trip," Cheng Lin nodded, and then he happened to see a bus stop at the stop next to it. He stepped onto the bus, followed closely by Shisan, who helped him pay.
After paying the money, the two found a seat and sat down. He continued, "What about the other mode? Well, if we talk like this, will other people regard us as mentally ill?"
Cheng Lin looked at the citizens who got out of the car.
"No, these are all under the control of the central program," Shisan smiled and sat next to him, put his legs together, smoothed the light cyan skirt, and straightened the ruffled fashionable soft hair on his head.
Hat, "The other one is the 'event' mode. After turning it on, you will frequently encounter security incidents similar to the ones before. There are many types, such as robberies, which are relatively simple, but are slightly more complicated...
For example, there will be a practitioner who uses a strange ability to drag this bus into a strange dream, killing passengers, and similar situations, and then you can fight with it."
"Fighting? What if I were an ordinary person?"
"I can give you certain powers. Of course, they are limited to the fifth level. In special circumstances, you can open them to the sixth level. No higher. Otherwise, the area damaged by the battle will be too large. Repairing the building is a trivial matter, but it can affect other people.
Guests’ travel is a big problem.”
The bus moved slowly, and Cheng Lin nodded slightly.
Thirteen smiled and continued:
"If you choose the 'event' mode, I can also adjust your pain sensation. The default is 0%, which means that the robot cannot make you feel any synaesthesia. However, many tourists will adjust it appropriately to enhance the sense of reality and feel the pain. Of course
, it is only limited to pain and will not actually cause physical damage."
"It's quite comprehensive." Cheng Lin looked out the window at the cityscape that was passing by quickly.
"Do you need to turn on the 'event' mode?"
"No, I'll just take a look."
Hearing that he wouldn't be hurt, he gave up his plan to use the robot to hone his powers. Even if he turned up the pain sensitivity, this kind of training without being hurt was of little value. If he wanted to fight, he would wait until the deduction was over and go into the projection.
Just hit it.
He had a hunch that this projection would definitely give him a chance to really show off his skills.
"laugh……"
During the conversation, the bus stopped. Cheng Lin thought for a while, got up and got off the bus. There happened to be a restaurant across the street.
Although you can't fill your stomach with the food here during the deduction, you can still try it. Cheng Lin has no interest in sightseeing, and these "retro" lives cannot interest him in any way.
"Let's go have a meal."
he said.
"OK."
Thirteen followed him, and the two of them entered this exquisitely decorated and high-end restaurant. There was space, so there was no need to make a reservation. The two of them were taken directly to the seat by the window.
Cheng Lin took off his coat, casually put it aside, and casually scanned the inside of the restaurant. Cheng Lin was about to order a few dishes and wait for the program to start the task.
However, his eyes suddenly stopped and he was surprised to see a "familiar face".
It was the "passenger" on the same train as him, a fat white man wearing a casual suit!
If I remember correctly, he came out of car No. 10.
"We actually met again? What a coincidence."
Cheng Lin, who had seen the map of "Eastern District" before, knew that this city almost truly reproduced the area of a first-tier city, and there were probably millions of people living in it. It was really fate that the two of them met.
Guest No. 10 did not seem to recognize Cheng Lin, or perhaps he did and was too lazy to say hello. He was sitting on a seat opposite his receptionist. The table was filled with Chinese dishes, but there were two pairs of them.
The liquid in the goblet is bright red, it seems to be red wine.
Eating Chinese food and drinking red wine... Well, it's really a good combination. It would be better if you add some Sprite... Cheng Lin silently said to himself.
The fat white man seemed to be middle-aged. He had taken off his suit and wore a shirt on his upper body. The buttons on his collar were loose, making him look a little decadent.
He seemed to be drinking poorly and looked slightly drunk. He was leaning on the soft sofa cover seat, and his brown eyes were staring at a young couple at the next table.
To be precise, it was the beautiful and young Asian girl.
Cheng Lin suddenly had a vague hunch that something might happen.
The next second, with a premonition, the white man stood up unsteadily, walked straight to the table with a strange smile on his face, and then uttered a string of foreign words in the girl's vigilant eyes.
Receptionist No. 10 translated simultaneously:
"Mr. Frank is willing to pay a dollar to have this lady spend one night with him."
As soon as this sentence was uttered, it immediately attracted the attention of all diners, and the place instantly became the focus of the restaurant.
Because it is a high-end restaurant, it is not noisy.
Therefore, this sentence clearly reached the ears of all diners.
The guests at other tables nearby stared in disbelief and started talking:
"Is this person drunk?"
"What does he think this is?"
The faces of several of the onlookers immediately darkened.
As for the girl who was "invited", she was completely stunned, her face was red, she was suppressing her anger, and she had a disgusting look on her face. The boyfriend opposite stood up in a hurry, and her anger was beyond words: "What did you say?"
The passenger named "Frank" repeated it again with a smile, and the strange look on the corner of his mouth became more intense.
"Are you looking for death?"
The young man's eyes were spitting fire. In front of everyone, his girlfriend was insulted in this way. How could he bear it? He immediately rolled up his sleeves and punched Frank.
Not far away, the restaurant manager was running over with a worried look on his face, calling "security" in his mouth.
No one doubted that the drunken fat man would be knocked to the ground.
However, the smile on Frank's face became brighter and brighter. He refused to dodge and received a punch. He took two steps back. At the same time, the watch on his wrist lit up, and where the fist landed,
Unscathed!
Robots cannot cause real harm to tourists!
Before the surrounding diners could react, Frank muttered:
"Now there is a reason to take action."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and a metal glove appeared out of thin air on his right hand, and immediately struck forward fiercely.
The young man screamed immediately, his face covered with blood, and fell to the ground. Frank refused to give up, and punched him several times with a metal glove. The sound of cracking bones could be heard until the young man was beaten until he was dying.
He resisted again and then stopped.
At this time, the restaurant was deathly silent, no one spoke.
This scene was so sudden that even people's exclamations were stuck in their throats.
The blood even poured onto the girl. On her face, she was completely stunned. Her eyes were red and tears were rolling down her face, but her body was stiff and she could not move.
Immediately, Frank wiped his gloves with a clean white tablecloth, took out a bill from the receptionist, placed it in front of the girl, and said:
"Now do you reconsider? Well, don't worry, I won't force you. This is a forbidden matter in the park. However, your boyfriend took the initiative to attack me. I am very timid. Maybe I accidentally over-defended...
...Well, excessive defense does not violate the prohibition.”
There was silence in the restaurant.
Not far away, Cheng Lin had an expressionless face. He stared at this scene quietly, and slowly clenched his right hand on the white dining table...
"Thirteen, can the park regulations be used in this way?" he asked without emotion.
The receptionist, who was wearing a light blue dress and a ruffled bonnet, slowly smoothed the folds of the tablecloth, maintained an impeccable smile, and was silent for a moment before answering:
"Every rule has loopholes, there are no exceptions."
The update is a bit late, but the word count is long.
