The Beautiful Real World

"Speaking of which, I woke up from the game in broad daylight and saw my kitten, and I even had the urge to grind for experience points. Oh well, what can I do? It's not a humanoid monster." (Sister's waist, murderous knife)

"When I'm on my way to work, I feel like I have GTA syndrome—I just want to floor the gas pedal at every traffic light." —The nightmare of the top-ranked player.

"I had a fight with my girlfriend today. The reason is simple: her mom is coming over. Why did we fight because her mom was coming? Because I've helped old ladies cross the street dozens of times in the game, and I really don't want to see old ladies in real life anymore." - Zhi Tianyi, Ni Tiannan

"I couldn't resist playing the game today, so I tried to escape the city, but the city that never sleeps went into lockdown mode. No one can leave, ahhhhhhh—" I'm such a idiot.

"Are the game developers brainless? Didn't they consider that if people's negative desires can't be vented in the virtual world, they will spill over into reality?" - Zhi Tianyi, Ni Tiannan

"That makes sense. Have you all noticed that since various games came out, there have been far fewer street thugs?" (You reap what you sow.)

"This is no excuse for downloading dozens of gigabytes of torrents!"

"Want it?"

"Dad, please give me a chance to carry on the family line."

"A bunch of idiots. Solving the chip problem is so simple, just commit suicide! Find a secluded place, shoot yourself, and you'll be reborn and get a high-end chip—a win-win situation!" —Bitsugai Ryo

"Mainland Chinese players are flocking to watch from Alliance 3!"

"Mainland Chinese players are flocking to watch from Alliance #4!"

"Players from the mainland of Beld are watching with great enthusiasm!"

The three continents of the entire planet, Jili, were shattered into various island nations, or tectonic plates, after World War II.

Among them, the continents that split off from the empire are generally called by place names, such as the Guanzhong Plate, the Kyushu Island Plate, the Jiangnan Plate, and the Huting Plate.

When the alliance splits off from the continent, it is referred to by "code names", such as Alliance 1, 2, 3, and 4.

The continents that split off from the alliance were named after people or gods. For example, the continent of Belade, because Belade was a famous scientist on the planet Jili, and Belade's three laws are similar to Newton's three laws. Or the continent of Saint Yassan, because Saint Yassan was an ancient god of light who brought fire to the human world.

At this time, most players were just watching the show with amusement, and some casual players even planned to travel overseas to this "holy land".

But for the players who actually live in the city that never sleeps, it's a miserable experience.

"Damn it, Red Dream Club hasn't had any business for three days. All the old perverts have gone ashore. What are we going to do with all the girls in our shop? Maintaining a android is very expensive!" Sister Ji sent a crying emoji.

"I'm going to your club, will Sister Ji be in charge of entertaining me?" one player sent a heart emoji.

"You believe I'll stomp on your face, you hear me?" Ji Jie roared.

"They even offer this service?! Please take me with you!"

After a few lighthearted banter, many players started discussing things seriously.

"By the way, is it possible to leave the city to fight monsters now? Has anyone ever left the city?"

"I tried, went around in circles and came back; my morals wouldn't allow me to do it."

"Are you online?"

"I've tried it; any healthy website, once opened, makes me feel nauseous, vomit, and want to throw up," said Snake Cub Qiang.

"Holy crap, are they trying to wipe out humanity's infertility?!"

"Big Brother, please share!" I'm Big Muscle Man.

"What the hell are you asking for? Didn't you install a moral chip? If you did, why would you even be browsing websites?" Snake Cub forcefully posted an angry emoji.

According to moral principles, no intimate contact is allowed before marriage registration, except for holding hands.

"Hands are enough!"

!

I'm right-handed.

I'm left-handed.

I'm used to doing it with both hands.

"Huh? You upstairs, are you really that amazing?"

"Is this something someone with a moral compass should say?"

Thanks to Sister Ji, the style of this small group is increasingly heading in the direction of being shut down.

Are you all online right now?

"Go to hell with it! If I were online, I wouldn't be talking to you like this; I'd be helping an old lady cross the street by now."

"There are too many morally upright players; there aren't enough old ladies to go around!"

A serious statement finally brought the topic back on track.

"The cyberspace of the City That Never Sleeps is now blocked; simply put, it's become a local area network."

A player named "Master of Slacking Off" suddenly spoke up.

How did you know? Are you a business associate, a neuro-editor?

"Pretty much," replied the master of slacking off.

What does "more or less" mean?

"I'm a Hacker" - Master of Slacking Off

'...'

'...'

"Holy crap, this group is full of hidden talents! There's even Cyber Hacker —that's a hidden profession!" —Red Flower Fairy

"@Master of Slacking Off, how's cyberspace going these days?" - Sister Ji

"This is quite bad. The dozen or so companies that make up Unreal Engine are all focused on the virtual side. Antivirus software is everywhere online now, with daily crackdowns. Even veteran hackers have to keep a low profile. I've heard that many of my peers have already been arrested; it was the work of hacking agents."

"Looks like we'll have to use Plan B. @RedFlowerDemon, go die and see what happens."

"Damn it, why me again?!"

"You're a clone. Before you die, detach your arms and legs, and you'll be a hero again in three days."

"No way! I worked so hard to build up so much goodwill with Uncle Jack, and if I die, I'll lose it all."

"I'll do it, I'm a android too." The despicable me.

"Warrior! You're amazing! Which rooftop are you heading to? I'll give you a push!" - Red Flower Fairy

"Wait a minute."

"What are you waiting for?"

"I'll go sign a dozen or so loan sharks first, make back my principal, and then we'll talk about other things."

'...'

Generally speaking, the higher the player's level, the less likely they are to make money this way, as it is not worth the loss. However, there is an exception: androids. Their skills are all attached to their cybernetic bodies, so as long as they preserve their cybernetic bodies, the only loss is experience.

"@I love Baozi, where are you? Everyone's morally sound and has such high values these days, are you, the prosthetic doctor, about to lose your job? If you're unemployed, why are you chatting in groups? Are you planning to go back to your hometown to get married?" - Sister Ji

It took a long time before Baozi replied with a message.

"No, actually, business is so good it's almost unbearable; I'm barely managing to keep up!"

After hurriedly replying to a message, Baozi rubbed his temples as he faced the beautiful young woman in front of him. "So, you're here to reflect on your actions?"

"Yes, I'm sorry to my husband. I lied and said I only had body bone correction. In fact, I had a basic visual filter, a charm enhancement chip, and a transformation device implanted. They were all done at your place, but not by you, by another doctor."

"Oh, you're talking about my former boss."

Baozi sized up the young woman in front of him. Her features were delicate and exquisite, and her eyes were large and watery. He had to admit that this kind of skill was something he could never learn.

"So, you regret it?"

"That's right. According to moral principles, sincerity is the foundation of marriage, so I think I should remove these changes and win my husband's heart with sincerity."

Does your husband like how you look now?

"I love it so much, I can't put it down."

"Well, personally, I think that since my husband likes it, there's no need to change it."

"Are you asking me to be dishonest in our marriage?" the young woman asked seriously.

"Uh, I was just saying. Whatever you say, I'll do it."

After finally managing to appease the young woman, a holographic projection appeared, revealing her to be a gentle and graceful young woman.

"Hello, I'm looking for Mr. G."

"With Mr. G away, I'm in charge now."

Looking at the holographic young woman opposite him, Baozi couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Why are all of the boss's patients like this?"

"My husband had surgery here; his name is Guo Man."

"Guo Man, wait a minute, let me check the patient's information. Oh, it's a middle-aged man who had his hallucination generator adjusted. I hope the hallucination generator won't malfunction?"

Baozi got nervous; he didn't know how to fix this thing.

The young woman shook her head.

"I want you to deactivate his hallucination generator."

Baozi glanced at the medical record again, then exclaimed in astonishment:

"Why? After the illusion generator is deactivated, won't he know that you and your daughter are just illusions? And you will 'die,' right? You are his illusion."

"Yes, but he has morals, and as a good wife, I think I should do the same," Mrs. Benson said, her face radiating holiness.

"What the heck? What does this have to do with morality?"

Baozi looked up, only to find that Mrs. Benson had disappeared, but with a "ding," the transfer amount appeared.

The next moment, a middle-aged man wearing an inexpensive suit and a green wig walked in with a hunched back and a fawning smile.

"Mr. G, I'm here again. Oh, aren't you Mr. G?"

"Um, I'm Baozi, the new prosthetic doctor. What are you doing here?"

"My wife said she wanted to surprise me, so she specially made an appointment with you. I don't know what it's about, maybe installing a new Mr. Tree, hehe."

"Uh, no."

"Let's begin!" Benson said expectantly.

"No, don't you want to know what kind of surgery it is?"

"No need, I trust my wife."

Baozi hesitated, then sighed.

"Okay, please lie down on the operating table."

Capsule Man H opened his eyes in a daze, only to see the same pale white metal walls.

He instinctively reached out to touch his head, but his atrophied muscles prevented him from doing so.

Fortunately, the screen on my eyelids gave me a warning.

"You have completed the implantation of a moral chip."

"What is this? Did I go to do some drug trial again?"

Capsule Man H thought for a moment in confusion, not remembering any "body trusteeship" operation.

Ever since that strange thing was inserted into his abdomen, he has been able to remember the memories that came after the "body trusteeship," and this feeling is very unpleasant.

He decided to forget the harsh reality and enter the beautiful real world.
