Lin Chi opened his eyes.

He didn't know the time at this moment, nor where he was. The first thing he saw was the brown soil and the green grass stained with water.

The sunlight casts over his head, illuminating the green grass. The rich fragrance of flowers stimulates his nose, making him sneeze.

Lin Chi slowly got up and looked down at his body:

At this time, I was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans that I usually use when going out. I stretched out my right hand and pressed it on my chest. The touch was also extremely real, completely different from the feeling in the virtual world.

Although "War Paradise" is already very realistic, in the eyes of "pioneers" who use the first generation of equipment, there is still a subtle difference from reality.

However, this place seems to confuse the boundaries between virtual and reality. In short, it is-

"This is too real..."

Lin Chi sighed and reached out and touched his cheek.

He still remembered what happened before and knew that this place could not be real, but the level of imaginaryness here was beyond imagination. He even began to doubt.

Can this simulation effect be achieved by relying solely on brain imaging devices?

Whether it is the slight tingling sensation on the soles of the feet or the sweat beads flowing down the cheeks, it is no different from the real world. This "world" is like a projection of reality, and there is no sense of incongruity that should be found in the virtual world.

Lin Chi tried to wave his right hand and wanted to exhale the menu as usual, but it was naturally futile.

He knew that at this moment, he could be said to have completely cut off contact with the outside world.

However, if those two guys hadn't lost the chain, Frankenstein and the coach should have acted as planned. Now, Pulse Entertainment is probably in a state of being hunted by Americans and has no time to take care of quantum computers floating in space.

If they have bought time, then what they have to do now is to leave this ghost place quickly and make decisions for the Creator.

But, how can we leave?

Lin Chi, who had no idea where he was, could not find a way to leave here.

He looked around and saw that he was standing in a valley, with high mountains on both sides, clear streams flowing from not far away, and water splashed against a rock blocking the middle.

The bright silver butterfly flapped its wings and flew into the sky, and the foot of the mountain was filled with blue flowers. If it weren't for the scenery here, it wouldn't have appeared in the seriously polluted reality. Lin Chi might really think that this is the real world.

Based on the principle of survival in the wilderness, he followed the stream upstream, and his black sneakers stepped on the mud, leaving clear outlines.

——This should be regarded as the deepest part of the virtual world of "War Paradise", and perhaps the real core of the quantum computer. Lin Chi never expected that he would encounter such a scenery before. But since it has appeared here, that is to say...

——This place is likely to be the retreat of the real "final boss".

Lin Chi walked forward silently, touched his pocket, but found nothing that could be used as a weapon. He picked up a branch from the ground and broke it, revealing a sharp end.

Of course, it is impossible to fight against the "residents" here with this pitiful "weapon". However, this branch can at least bring some psychological comfort, which is enough...

After following the stream for a while, a turn near a right angle appeared in front of him. Lin Chi slowly leaned to the foot of the mountain and poked his head out to observe the scene behind the turn:

A double-storey wooden house stands quietly at the foot of the mountain, with dark brown walls full of ivy and light purple flowers blooming around.

This building, surrounded by mountains and rivers, looks like a poster posted by a real estate developer.

Unlike those PS pictures, this wooden house is "real". At least in this world, it is real.

“…”

Lin Chi was hesitating whether to go over, and then he smelled the aroma of barbecue.

The residents living here seemed to be planning to have a picnic. Faced with this guy who seemed to be relaxing, Lin Chi finally made a decision and walked over carefully and alertly.

The red slices of meat sizzled on the grill, and a tall figure turned his back to Lin Chi, flipping the barbecue with a clip. The other party was wearing a short black jacket and gray pants, wrapped in an apron on the outside, and had short hair with ears. It was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman just by looking at the back.

Lin Chi held the wooden stick tightly and walked slowly towards the man.

The other party seemed to have noticed his existence long ago, but did not look back, just said softly:

"Ah, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

It was a beautiful female voice, and there was no trace of hostility or strangeness, as if she was waiting for her husband to return home, and she greeted her naturally:

"Sit down and it's ready to bake right away."

“…”

Lin Chi threw away the completely useless branches, sat down on the grass beside him, waiting for the other party's next move.

He thought there would be a war, but he never expected that he would eat barbecue in such a place.

However, since the other party has no malice, I have saved a lot of trouble from it and can communicate with this person directly.

"Hello." Lin Chi whispered.

"Yeah." The woman put the barbecue into the plate, turned around and walked towards Lin Chi with the plate. Her eyes happened to meet Lin Chi, and a sly smile appeared on her face:

"Eat it, this is my unique secret skill, specially used to entertain guests."

The crimson ends of the hair swayed in the ears. The girl had freckles on her face and her facial features seemed to be a little unfolded. She looked at most fifteen or sixteen years old. It may be because of the long-term sunbathing, and her skin was a little dark.

She is not like the female characters commonly seen in virtual games, with an unreal beauty. She looks like an ordinary girl next door in every move. In addition, her lively and cheerful attitude makes people feel a little intimate.

"Um."

Lin Chi picked up the chopsticks handed by the girl, picked up a piece of barbecue and put it in his mouth. He was immediately burned and barked.

"Haha, you're too reckless, do you want to drink water?" the girl chuckled.

"It's okay... I just haven't had barbecue for too long." Lin Chi shook his head.

For the sake of residents' health, most housekeeping robots will not provide barbecue for their owners. Lin Chi hasn't touched this food that is risky of cancer, but is very delicious.

"I know my skills are very good, and you don't need to be so anxious." The girl's brown eyes were bent into a crescent shape, she took off her apron and threw it on the grass, revealing the Godzilla logo printed on the black top.

She sat beside Lin Chi casually, then jumped up suddenly and shouted:

"Wait for me, I forgot to get Coke!"

The girl who was shocked was startled, and Lin Chi sighed: "Cola is not very healthy."

"Why are you like an old mom?" The girl completely disagreed with his opinion: "Life is short, and if you don't enjoy it now, when will you have to wait?"

——Is this really the case?

Watching the other party jump into the wooden house, Lin Chi looked down at the plate full of barbecue, and a question mark slowly rose above his head:

This place where the girl lives can be said to be the deepest part of this virtual world, and it is likely that it has never even been exposed to "designers".

Judging from the time when this world was born, she may have lived here for millions of years.

However, can the "monster" who has spent such a long time still maintain such a pure state?

Lin Chi, who was completely unable to understand the other party's situation, did not intend to continue thinking about this issue. He just picked up the barbecue and blew it down, and bit it down.

"Well...is not bad."

The gravy on the outer layer has a strong aroma. I don’t know what seasonings are added, but this piece of meat is roasted just right, neither a piece of raw or a slight burnt spot.

Lin Chi, who had experienced a "deadly restaurant" cuisine downstairs, could understand the value of this deliciousness even more. He ate a piece of meat voraciously. He just picked up a second piece and a bottle of coke fell on the grass in front of him.

"Don't hurry to drink, I just took it out of the refrigerator!"

Lin Chi had no time to respond to the girl, but continued to solve three pieces of meat, and then he put down his chopsticks with satisfaction and turned his attention to the girl sitting next to him:

"Yes, you should be a chef."

"Thank you for your compliment!" The girl nodded vigorously, with a smug smile on her little face: "I had this kind of thought before."

Looking at the other party's defenseless appearance, although he was unwilling to destroy the current atmosphere, Lin Chi still spoke slowly:

"Who are you? Where is this place?"

"Oh..." The girl who was eating barbecue muttered in confusion: "Wait for me... to finish this..."

She swallowed half of her flesh in her mouth, grabbed a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, leaned on the grass with both hands and raised her head, and moved her eyes to the sky:

"I know you're confused. But like you see, I've lived here all the time and been very happy every day."

"It would be very happy if I lived in such a place." Lin Chi nodded: "My previous ideal was to build a tree house and live in the wild."

"Is the tree house too dangerous?" The girl's tone was a little blamed: "What should I do if I turn over and fall to death at night?"

"Haha, I never thought about this." Lin Chi smiled embarrassedly.

"Well, I know you must be envious of me." The girl looked back proudly at her home: "Back to the mountains and rivers, leisurely, how about it, it's very good!"

"Yes, but you haven't answered my question yet." Lin Chi pointed out the key point.

"Ah, um..." The girl picked up the Coke, pulled the pull ring awkwardly, and sprayed it with foam soda and sprinkled it on her coat.

"This is really...annoying."

She said this, but she raised her head and took a big sip, and still had a bright smile on her face.

"Well, we can eat and chat." She blinked at Lin Chi: "Do you want to eat potato chips? There are still some at home."

"No, there is enough meat." Lin Chi shook his head.

"Are you losing weight?" the girl asked.

"I'm already very thin." Lin Chi looked at his clear-cut fingers.

"Well, I think it's not good to be too thin, but who told me that I can't eat fat or not?"
