Philosophical question

A gentle breeze stirred Qin Yiguan's hair.

The wind in this Metaverse remains unchanged; it's always early spring, a gentle breeze caressing your face.

Slowly turn around.

Qin Yiguan glanced at the signboard behind him— "Daxiu Clinic".

Even across the universe, we will still be friends.

I hope you will be well in the future.

Qin Yiguan strode forward. Ahead lay a low-lying area, where a vast city loomed in and out of the thin mist, magnificent and awe-inspiring.

This is the China Mirage City within Multiverse No. 012.

Qin Yiguan was very curious; could there be any strange or inexplicable things happening in this city?

Qin Yiguan knows too little about the Metaverse.

The Boundless One is a clone created by Bo You within the Metaverse, so the ' Matrix ' from his perspective is essentially also the Metaverse, a world created by the Gemini Superbrain.

The Metaverse is an abbreviation.

The proper name for this world should be 'multiverse' or 'Metaverse '.

"If I log off now, I should return to the physical world, right?"

Qin Yiguan asked himself the question and then answered it himself, "No rush. With such an interesting world before us, of course we should explore it thoroughly!"

So,

What is the true nature of the ' Jingye Meinan I just met'?

After all, once a human lies in Nutrient Pod, their consciousness can only form as ' Half-Humans '.

The real Meinan in my Minecraft is that playboy.

Are the Meinan in this world... Digital Human?

Is it Digital Human simulated by the Gemini Superbrain, based on the Meinan's design?

What is the significance of Gemini Superbrain's actions?

Qin Yiguan walked along with a smile on his face, finding the world truly fascinating.

It was at this time.

The voice of the Boundless One echoed in Qin Yiguan's mind, "Perhaps, a human consciousness can only form Half-Humans, but how can you be so sure that the playboy Jingye Meinan you met is definitely Jingye Meinan himself?"

"The entire Matrix Universe is Infinity vast."

"Among the equivalents of Jingye Meinan, there are perhaps 100, perhaps 1 million, perhaps 10 billion who are currently healthy and alive."

"You can't be sure who the real Jingye Meinan is."

"As for that playboy, he's just the 'first' Meinan you've encountered in your subjective perception."

"From a timeline perspective, he was indeed the first to appear."

"But from the perspective of the Matrix Universe, this has absolutely nothing to do with who he actually is."

Qin Yiguan stopped in his tracks.

He suddenly realized and asked, "Wasn't the universe we left earlier the main universe?"

"Joke."

The voice of the Boundless One rang out, "The Matrix Universe is vast; there is no distinction between primary and secondary. What you lived in before was Multiverse No. 0573, one of countless Metaverse, a grain of sand on a giant beach."

Qin Yiguan's body stiffened slightly.

My thoughts were in turmoil, and upon closer reflection, they became terrifying.

Jiaolong said that what she thought was the physical world might not actually be the physical world.

In other words, could the so-called physical world also be one of the Metaverse?

If that's the case, then it's not so hard to understand why all the employees of the Gemini Tower suddenly "ascended" 12 years ago.

In the Metaverse era.

The standard by which 'humans' judge whether they are truly human is whether they can go offline.

Nowadays, ordinary humans can no longer log off.

Qin Yiguan is very likely the last remaining 'sole survivor' in the world capable of proving his authenticity.

But if...

Even after you log off, the physical world remains virtual...

In this Matrix Universe, what is real, what is fake, who is human, and who is not? And yourself, are you truly yourself...?

This is clearly a question worth considering.

"Perhaps, in a single Matrix Universe, out of nearly ten billion humans, only one is a real person."

"The others are all actors."

"And these actors, under the arrangement of the Gemini Superbrain, all believe they are human beings."

"In other words, a Metaverse, created solely for one person, while everyone else is a virtual being, merely an accessory."

The voice of the Boundless One echoed softly.

Qin Yiguan stood in the wind for a long time.

Finally, he uttered a statement that was both philosophically profound and extremely sincere.

"I really wish I were a human being."

But the next moment...

Qin Yiguan smiled again and walked towards the city ahead.

If you've lived and loved, then this is the truest world.

Senior Liu Di always carried this kind of sunny disposition.

The cityscape became increasingly clear.

Skyscrapers stand tall, and aircraft shuttle silently through the city; these are the city's buildings, nothing particularly special.

On the outskirts of the city, a row of shops lined the street.

It's quite strange; they have their backs to the city and face the wilderness.

Qin Yiguan narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw a long queue in front of one of the shops, with at least a thousand people standing there.

"This shop is strange."

Qin Yiguan took a slightly roundabout route and passed by the shop.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that all the men in the queue were men, and many of them were rubbing their hands together, their expressions somewhat lewd.

Of course, there were also many handsome men among them who looked upright, behaved in a proper manner, and wore expensive clothes.

"I've been waiting in line for three days, and today it's finally my turn!"

"I've also prepared an expensive gift!"

Unlike those handsome guys in front, who look dashing but are actually penniless!

Qin Yiguan overheard whispers among the people in the group.

He quickly grasped the general situation before him.

He approached a man with a simple, honest face who was clutching an exquisite gift box tightly in his hand, and said with a smile, "Brother, I think this area is already the city's edge. Mirage City is right next to the Experimental Zone, and the queue is so long that it's practically inside the Experimental Zone fields."

At this point, Qin Yiguan grinned mischievously and said, "Is it worth taking such a big risk to seduce the shop owner's wife?"

"Experimental Zone?"

The honest-looking man looked puzzled. "We're taking risks, that's true, but what's Experimental Zone?"

But at this moment, Qin Yiguan's expression suddenly froze.

Because he saw at the very end of the long queue, at that extremely minimalist shop painted white.

There are no advertising slogans or electronic projection equipment on the outside of this shop.

There is just a small plaque hanging above the white wooden door, and there is only one word on the plaque - pattern.

Qin Yiguan's eyes snapped open.

Suddenly, the straightforward man beside him revealed his true colors, "Hehe, just as you said, brother, I, and all these thousands of brothers you see, are here to pick up the tattoo shop owner's wife."

"Brother, you're obviously an outsider."

"You wouldn't believe it, the owner of this tattoo shop... that petite figure, those snow-white shoulders, those long, slender white legs, and that incredibly sexy short silver hair, oh my god, if I could just get a touch with her... tsk tsk!"

But then Qin Yiguan suddenly shook off the man's hand from his shoulder, frowned, and said, "Screw you!"
