What’s wrong with the dream world!

A reliable adult who has lived two lives and a nightmare with emotional intelligence as deep as the sea should wear mature and stable clothes.

After receiving the reply that he could pick it up in a week or have it delivered to his door, Yu Xiude thought about it and decided to pick it up in person. After all, he could pick it up on his way to work in a week.

He didn't want to see anyone show up at his door lately.

Leaving the high-end clothing store, Yu Xiude entered a shopping center and thought about which smart watch would be convenient.

First, payment functionality must be available.

Just as a mobile phone cannot be brought into a dream, a wallet is not currently considered part of the "dreamer".

It would be embarrassing and immature if you enter a dream only to find that your wallet is in reality.

Yu Xiude’s ideal “dream man” should be able to shuttle between dreams and reality at any time, as convenient as possible, and it would be best if the connection could be seamless.

Secondly, the smartwatch should be of good quality and affordable, neither too high-end nor too cheap.

Too high-end and too expensive, too low-end brands are cheap but the quality is not guaranteed... Although Yu Xiu De is not short of money, his habits as a human being in two lives still make him prefer this.

Inside the mall, Yu Xiu De stood in front of a sign and finally locked onto the "Only Technology" store among many electronics stores.

Weiyi Technology is a leading company with extensive interests in electronic equipment, the internet, software, and artificial intelligence. It enjoys a high status and an excellent brand. However, its products are not overpriced due to this branding.

Both the quality and price are within Yu Xiude's acceptable range. Moreover, its smart watches have similar functions to mobile phones and have mobile payment functions.

"It's not expensive, but it's not cheap either..."

Entering the store, Yu Xiude looked at the various electronic products on the counter.

Touch-screen mobile phones, virtual glasses, and a game cabin that looks mysterious... Yu Xiude knows that this game cabin was a product developed by the "Only Technology" company a long time ago, which allows people to experience virtual reality.

It is said that the federal military once thought that the civilian use of this technology was too wasteful and dangerous, and attempted to acquire and monopolize this technology, but in the end, for unknown reasons, the plan came to nothing.

Although Yu Xiu De, as a journalist, did not have any solid evidence, he suspected that the company's boss should be a person with a powerful destiny... Whether it was the extraordinary development speed or the military's concession, this was the only speculation that best fitted the bill.

Yu Xiude turned his gaze away from those so-called epoch-making products and walked straight to the smart watch area.

He carefully selected and finally chose a black smart watch worth 2888 federal coins. It has similar functions to a mobile phone, is waterproof to a certain extent, can make instant payments, and does not look fancy when worn on the wrist.

After finishing his selection and picking up the watch, Yu Xiu De raised his hand to call a receptionist wearing Bluetooth fluorescent headphones to check out.

"Hello, I want to..."

"Congratulations, sir!"

The female receptionist had a bright and sincere smile on her face, her eyes instantly widened, filled with surprise and excitement, and she walked quickly towards Yu Xiude, her steps brisk and quick, her voice enthusiastic but deliberately low, as if she didn't want to be heard by other customers in the store.

"Our store is holding a celebration. You are the thousandth customer since our store opened. This is a particularly lucky moment. All your purchases today are free!"

"?"

Does this kind of electronic product brand store also have such activities?

Yu Xiu De looked left and right but didn't see any activity sign.

As if sensing Yu Xiude's suspicion, the receptionist quickly said:

"Well, this event is simply to give back to our customers, not to advertise. Also... it's to keep the sense of surprise!"

“We’ll invoice you!”

Yu Xiu De looked at the enthusiastic receptionist with a calm expression, seemingly unable to think of a reason to refuse. But in fact, he quietly activated his ability to simply confirm whether the other party had any problems.

In the confused dream, the answer that Nightmare got was that this was indeed the case.

It seemed like just an ordinary lucky accident.

Although it's a bit far-fetched, it makes sense.

So Yu Xiu De accepted it with peace of mind, put on the free smart watch, got the invoice, and left the store.

"Thank you for your visit. We hope this free order will bring you a pleasant shopping experience. We also look forward to your continued support in the future!"

The receptionist in charge of reception waved goodbye enthusiastically to Yu Xiude who was leaving. She always treated guests very well.

Just as she was sighing that the customer was really lucky, a colleague beside her patted her shoulder gently and reminded her:

"Hey, why aren't your headphones lit up?"

"Don't you remember that when we're at work, we always have to make sure our headphones are on?"

The female receptionist quickly apologized:

"I'm sorry. I clearly remember that it was my headphones that reminded me of the thousandth guest... Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

"It seems broken."

The Silence of the Lambs: Chapter 153 One and Six

After returning to his residence, before verifying his idea, Yu Xiu De first checked the various functions of the smart watch and carefully read its instruction manual.

With the help of his mobile phone, he confirmed that the smart watch's functions such as sending messages and instant calls were normal, and it was able to download programs. Its functions were roughly equivalent to those of a mobile phone.

It’s just that its memory is smaller than that of a mobile phone and its screen is narrower than that of a mobile phone.

However, the latter two defects have little impact on Yu Xiu De. After all, he neither plays games, watches videos, reads novels, nor listens to music. Apart from work, he rarely uses social software. Therefore, the small memory and narrow screen are not a big problem for him.

Not only that, he also discovered an additional little feature, which is that there seems to be an AI assistant on the smartwatch.

As a journalist, Yu Xiude is no stranger to the concept of this type of AI assistant. Although this type of artificial intelligence does not have human thinking, it can assist users and make services more humane and convenient.

This kind of thing is also one of the concepts proposed by "Only Technology" a few years ago. It has now passed the charging stage and is open to functions similar to free mini-programs... It is only available for products under "Only Technology".

Out of curiosity, Yu Xiude tried calling according to the instructions:

"Yibao?"

"I'm here."

A semi-mechanical female voice came from the watch, cold, rational and emotionless.

Its voice is devoid of any emotional fluctuations, and its tone is rigid and stiff. Each syllable seems to be precisely output according to a fixed program. Although clear and accurate, it lacks the necessary warmth, like the operation of soulless gear machinery, giving people a sense of alienation, and always indicating that this is just the voice of cold artificial intelligence.

This is consistent with Yu Xiude's imagination of artificial intelligence. It seems quite technological, but it does not exceed the scope of services that 2888 Federal Coin should match.

"Tell me a little bit about yourself."

Yu Xiu De took out the Bluetooth headset he had just unpacked and put it on. This Bluetooth headset was not produced by "Only Technology", and Yu Xiu De wanted to test whether it could be paired with the smart watch... "Only Technology"'s products performed well in terms of price and function, but it seemed that they paid great attention to compatibility.

Fortunately, a mechanical sound came out of the Bluetooth headset, so Yu Xiude didn't have to consider whether to buy another brand of smart watch or the same brand of Bluetooth headset.

"I'm Yibao, an artificial intelligence developed by Yiyi Technology. I possess precise and clear logical thinking skills, able to accurately interpret various questions and conduct in-depth and detailed analysis processes to efficiently provide you with rich and comprehensive answers. Whether it's analyzing professional knowledge or handling non-professional daily affairs, I am fully capable."

"In summary, I'm always ready to discuss all kinds of worthy topics with you, answer your questions with all my strength, and provide feasible strategies and solutions to meet your information needs, improve the quality and efficiency of task completion, and make your life more convenient."

"If you need more services, please go to the Yibao official website to download more resource packages."

It sounds quite powerful, but I don’t know how it works in practice.

This program aroused a little interest in Yu Xiu De, but he had no intention of continuing to explore it. After all, he still had important things to do.

He turned off his smartwatch, then randomly selected a person on night shift in the building who slept during the day, sneaked into his dream, and quickly returned to reality.

Unsurprisingly, smartwatches, like mechanical watches, are also included in the category of "dreamers", so that they don't have to worry about leaving their phones behind when they disappear in the future.

He turned on the smartwatch again, but it did not restore the network mode. After thinking for a moment, he tried to call:

"Yibao, can you transfer the data from the phone to the watch?"

"Yes, sir."

A cold mechanical voice, difficult to distinguish between male and female, came from the watch, and at the same time provided Yu Xiude with specific operating instructions.

"Please turn on the Bluetooth of your mobile phone to transfer data."

Yu Xiu De turned on the Bluetooth on his phone, which also had its data and internet functions turned off. Then a pop-up window appeared asking if a transfer was needed.

After Yu Xiu De clicked confirm, he saw a column of data being transmitted slowly.

"This AI can be used offline..."

Technology really changes our lives.

After processing all this, Yu Xiu De looked at the data slowly transmitted on the mobile phone screen. He was unwilling to just wait, but he didn't know what to do for a moment.

It was a working day, and in the past he would be searching for news information at his workplace, directing reporters remotely, or listening to the editor-in-chief's "creative ideas" in the office.

But he didn't go to work today, and after dealing with these things, he found himself with nothing to do.

So... it's just like the weekend.

That's it for now, go to bed first.

Yu Xiu De adjusted his state, then returned to the bedroom, changed into pajamas, drew the curtains, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.

[Nightmare] has always lacked the motivation to act in reality, even though he has felt a sense of urgency in his heart in recent days. However, the owner of this fate is neither a cultivator nor a game character. They can neither improve themselves through meditation and practice, nor can they increase their level by defeating others.

They need to seek development in accordance with the characteristics of their own destiny, and this development is not all-round, but merely an extension and expansion of their abilities.

The "man in the dream" certainly opened up new ideas for him, but such opportunities were rare; as for loading other destinies into the dream... that kind of thing could not be rushed, Zhu Yajing's [Curse Master] destinies and Yu Xiu De's had not yet been fully loaded into the dream.

Yu Xiu De served as the owner of the fate for a long time, and finally found that dreaming could enhance the reality of his dreams.

Even dreaming is no longer a tool for him to become stronger, but a kind of life, a different life that transcends reality and belongs to him alone.

"Let's see if that scheming little monster, with his dark and cunning mind, has revealed any flaws..."

With this thought in mind, Yu Xiu De fell asleep in the bedroom.

At the same time, an invisible force enveloped the entire room, wrapping it layer by layer. It was the power of "dream". After Liu Liangrui's visit, Yu Xiude temporarily strengthened the protective measures when sleeping. In addition to the front door of the house, even any behavior that might invade the bedroom would be judged as the triggering condition of a "hypothetical dream".

However, the power left by the "Nightmare" that had already fallen asleep did not pay attention to the smart watch and mobile phone that were still transferring files in the living room.

I saw that the smart watch screen in the living room had been connected to the Internet at some point, and the progress of transferring mobile phone files was no longer displayed on the screen.

Dense, rapidly flashing numbers 1 and 0 fill the entire watch screen!

The connected mobile phone was not spared either and soon fell into an abnormal state, with the screen also filled with 1s and 0s.

Ten seconds later, 1 and 0 became 1 and 6, and the flashbacks continued. Finally, on both the phone and the smartwatch, only one line of the common language of the Western Federation remained on their screens:

'one and six, forever, forever'

The Silence of the Lambs: Chapter 154: Unspoken Loyalty No.

"I'm sorry, Number Six, I'm so useless..."

"But I will never betray you, Number Six!"

Inside the Obsidian Prison.

Because he angered the real owner of the prison, he was also regarded as a worthless and disgraceful waste by the superhero who could have rescued him.

Originally, No. 13 was supposed to be released from prison and see the light of day again with the dual bail of [The Ruler], a big man within the system, and [Superman], a big man outside the system. However, due to his uncooperative attitude, most of the fast-track procedures before his release were suspended and delayed. No. 13 had to continue to live in prison for a while, and it was a hard life.

I don't know if it's because No. 13 just won't listen, or for some other reason, but Xu Yuanjie has given up on using No. 13 to use the love strategy of "Haha, your wild cat is growing up well, I've kindly fed it a few times" on Yu Xiude to get closer to him, and she no longer loves No. 13 as well as Yu Xiude.

In Xu Yuanjie's eyes, No. 13 was no longer a stray dog, but a wild cat, a guy who was not worth wasting time on.

Like Number Zero, Xu Yuanjie couldn't stand Number Thirteen. Naturally, she wouldn't be happy with Hakimi, who bared his teeth at her and spoke wildly... She didn't like cats in the first place, and preferred dogs.

The [Ruler] did not kick the untamable [Priest] to death because of [Nightmare]'s consideration and because he heard Yu Xiu De's heartfelt words to No. 13, "It's time for you to grow up." So he showed mercy.

After all, if you feed it casually and then see a familiar specimen that will never grow up in your collection not long after, although it will certainly not damage the relationship between husband and wife, it will definitely make your lover depressed.

Xu Yuanjie, who considers herself considerate and knows how to fall in love very well, cannot bear to see her lover suffer any injustice.

So he just kicked with less force.

At best, this annoying stray cat would run to her lover and plead sympathy, but what good would that do? After understanding the whole story, her lover would simply decide that she deserved a beating and punishment, and, fittingly, that would also improve her image. After all, it was because Number Thirteen kept referring to her as "subordinates" and "followers," terms that were full of provocation for a ruler...

It was obviously an insult to the friendship between her and Yu Xiu De!

……

It was naturally impossible for No. 13 to know Xu Yuanjie's psychological activities.

But he was at least clear about one thing, that is, this neurotic and inexplicable woman must have bad intentions towards Number Six!

What's this about doing it for Number Six's sake, what's this about not wanting to be Number Six's [ruler]...this must be a lie!

This woman who looks like she has a mental problem and is no less than Zero can't be trusted at all, not to mention that she can read my mind!
