Xueba's computing system

Chapter 128 Days without Digital Products

Lin Yuan was very bored as he stared at the iron bars. He had no cell phone or computer and only a few boring newspapers in his hands.

As a post-00s generation, reading newspapers is obviously not an ancient activity in his daily life. But he has read every article in the newspaper at hand because he really doesn't know what to do.

At this moment, Lin Yuan really wanted someone to come and examine him, or just chat with him. It was only the second day after he came in, and he was already dying.

As a result, his appetite decreased, and he finally understood why animals in cages would become depressed.

By the afternoon, the door of the detention room was finally opened.

It’s Zhang Yan.

Lin Yuan stood by the railing as if he had seen a savior.

"Are you going to interrogate me?"

Seeing Lin Yuan asking him expectantly whether he was going to interrogate him, Zhang Yan was stunned.

"Master, Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm so bored, can you please talk to me... I mean, can you interrogate me?"

"Ah~~, okay, I just came to check on you because I was afraid you were too bored. Most people really can't stand staying alone in a small space for a long time."

"Then hurry up and interrogate me."

Zhang Yan then sniffed, "Brother, you better pretend so that people don't think we are too familiar with each other. I will ask someone to take you to the interrogation room right away."

For the first time, Lin Yuan was so looking forward to sitting on that iron chair.

In the interrogation room.

Zhang Yan made up an excuse and replaced his partner with Lao Mo. Then Lao Mo was too busy and disappeared after he showed up.

Then she turned around and turned off the vertical camera. "The camera on top can't record sound. We can chat casually, but we must remember to manage our expressions."

"I understand." Lin Yuan thought to himself that if the two of them laughed out loud in the interrogation room, even the surveillance cameras would not be able to bear it.

Lin Yuan glanced at the camera on top. The system really hadn't calibrated it, and when Lin Yuan tried to call up the system, he found that he couldn't calibrate it.

It seems that the system still has some sense - it knows that there are some places that cannot be peeped into.

At this point, the system shows the genes of the program - acting in a programmed manner.

To put it simply, there is an obvious established logic behind the system’s camera calibration: it only calibrates cameras in catering settings.

This is naturally due to Lin Yuan's need to iterate the food delivery algorithm.

At the same time, under this established logic, the system often malfunctions - it randomly calibrates the cameras in catering venues, which has led to Lin Yuan's current situation.

These two points are completely consistent with how a program should behave - it will never execute anything outside the scope of the code, but bugs are always inevitable within the scope of the code.

Therefore, Lin Yuan suddenly felt that this system might be a set of programs that are beyond the scope of current human technology.

But now he doesn't have the energy to think about these things. This broken system won't even give him a VR movie or something.

Lin Yuan believed that this was a piece of cake for the system, for example, it could project images directly onto his retina, just like wearing Apple's latest vision product. Then he could lie quietly in the corner of the detention room, daydreaming, and occasionally couldn't help laughing a few times, because he was secretly watching the movie played by the system.

However, this broken system does nothing. The host is about to die of boredom, and there is no way to have fun.

Lin Yuan quickly collected his thoughts and glanced at the camera in front of him. "If I turn this thing off, will it be okay?"

Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows, "I just said that I accidentally turned it off because I was impatient."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "That's right. The camera still malfunctions occasionally anyway."

"Uh..." Zhang Yan was speechless, "Brother, please don't say that." "Well, when can I get out?"

"Let's wait two days. The trial of this case is almost over. By the way, brother, just call me by my real name in private."

Zhang Yan was very cheerful, and Lin Yuan was too lazy to be shy.

"Can I trouble you a favor?"

"Brother, you decide. But, giving you a cell phone, notebook, or something like that is absolutely not acceptable."

"I know. Can you tell my girlfriend for me? She's timid. Tell her she's safe."

"Oh, yes, I was the one who sent your girlfriend back home. She almost cried along the way. I'll call her for you now."

"Xia Ye's number is..."

"No, I can find it."

Zhang Yan said this and walked out.

Not long after, she came back.

"Brother, um, your girlfriend..."

"What happened to Xia Ye?"

"I just called her and the person who answered the phone was the community police officer. Your girlfriend went to the police station to look for you, but when she couldn't find you, she started crying and refused to leave. She was controlled by our people."

"Ah? What?" Lin Yuan suddenly became worried. "What's going on?"

"We heard from our people that she sat on the ground and cried like a child looking for her parents, asking us to return her boyfriend to her."

Lin Yuan didn't expect Xia Ye to have the guts to do such a thing. But you really can't expect too much from that little girl when she encounters such a thing. Crying for a boyfriend is already her limit.

Lin Yuan was transferred to this place that specializes in dealing with online fraud the day before yesterday. So when Xia Ye went to his original place to look for him, he naturally found nothing.

"Can't you just tell him where I am?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe our people didn't pay much attention to her because they saw that she wasn't your relative. As a result, she sat on the ground and started crying. But don't worry, I've already said hello. This is not a big deal. I'll go over and comfort her for you myself."

"Okay." Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh. His wife was a surprise to him.

"I'll trouble you later."

"You're welcome, Senior Brother. If you have any books you want to read, I can bring them to you. You can read them."

Lin Yuan seemed to have never read any other paper books except computer-related reference books. He was rubbing the red rope amulet with the Eight Diagrams that Xia Ye had given him on his wrist, as if savoring the incident.

When my fingers touched the exquisite little wooden Bagua plaque, I thought of what Dean Li had mentioned to me - there is yin and yang in the world, and there is heaven and earth in dealing with things.

So Lin Yuan said, "Help me find a book about the I Ching Bagua. Anything, as long as it's relevant."

He thought that except for the current state of isolation, he would not have the leisure to read such books in the future. Moreover, he had a feeling that after witnessing the three big guys' fake and real ways of dealing with things the night before, he always felt that he might seek answers from ancient wisdom.

"Brother, you are so young yet you like to read those things?" Zhang Yan found it very mysterious when he heard about Zhouyi Bagua.

"I don't really like it." Lin Yuan pretended to be profound and said, "As the saying goes, being behind bars, cut off from the world, is a good time to concentrate on the truth." Of course, he deliberately put on this tone.

But Zhang Yan was shocked. 'My senior brother is not much older than me, but he always looks so mysterious. I must ask him for advice.'

Since Xia Ye was still under control for causing trouble, Zhang Yan did not stay long. He chatted with Lin Yuan for a while and then rushed to help Lin Yuan look after his wife.
