Chapter 32 I·Laiji Noodle House

I didn't expect the light barrier to be able to block the weapon, so I rushed in when I saw the opportunity, and then returned to the online world of Hong Kong according to Tianzhao's instructions, and went to the next destination. After leaving the light barrier, after walking along the deserted long street for a while, I finally arrived at the destination: Laiji Noodle House. This is Laiji Noodle House, which I am not familiar with. It is an online version that I should not have known existed. It is also the original Laiji. I have been helping to manage it on the Internet, just copying the version.

——This is the genuine Lai Ji, and it is the Lai Ji made by the owner himself. If it wasn't for a photo from the sky, I didn't even know there was such an online store.The store decoration looks good, after all, on the Internet, the operating cost is much lower.However, there are no customers, no clerks, and no people here. It's just an empty store. Merchants often say that the Internet is everywhere, but they fail to point out that if there is no publicity, no one will patronize it, or even no one has heard of it at all.If you want to calculate the area of ​​cyberspace, it is actually hundreds of times larger than the earth. Without publicity, online stores can be more deserted than physical stores.This kind of network zone with no traffic is called "network desert".

The Internet has its own unique geography. Of course, the principles of the physical world cannot be copied over, but there are also points of prosperity, and it also operates according to its own set of logic. I stepped into the store. This store should be a promotional store established by the owner to participate in the "Save the Old Store Love Campaign", and it is also a prototype for creating the style of the physical store in the future. According to the principle of "network first", if it is successful, the owner will definitely bring the style and operation mode on the Internet to the real world and revive it.

"welcome." A voice rang in the ear, and the lights in the store turned on, and it became bustling and crowded. A figure had just passed me, holding a steaming bowl in its hand.The man bent down, put down the soup bowl, and said kindly to the customer: "Please use it slowly." Customers smile with satisfaction. The man turned around, smiled at me, and asked, "How many?" "I'm the only one." "Sorry, there are no vacancies at the moment, please wait a moment." I looked at the man, it was a strange face. It's true that the voice is synthesized by a computer, but the face is transformed from a photo, most likely, from a real person's face.

I immediately searched for the car accident in the West Ring Road more than a year ago, added Porsche as a keyword, quickly found relevant news reports, and finally found the news pictures of the owner.Real owner photo, unlike anything I've seen. This is the face of the master. According to Amaterasu, the owner's diary is true, but the appearance and name of the owner I have seen in the past are all brainwashed and not true. Now, I know my master—even if it's only on the outside. The master was busy around me, continuing his busy work. This is of course not him, but his substitute, no, not the humanoid software, I am his humanoid software, this one is just a character attached to the noodle shop, and its scope of activities is limited to the shop.

Probably in order to cooperate with the design, the owner installed the customer environment interactive program, so that he can design the entire atmosphere and layout, and incorporate himself into the environment, so as to hone his hospitality skills. It's just that his shop hasn't been opened for a long time, and the customer program has been in a standby state and has been in a deep sleep until my existence was detected, or I just stepped on some mechanism inadvertently, and the program was awakened. The owner had a smile on his face and was still busy.Although very busy, but the smile is brighter.After all, his wish is to revive him.As soon as a guest left the table, the host invited me to sit and served hot tea.

"Guest officer, what do you want?" I didn't expect to see the master here, I was so moved that I couldn't speak for a while.I pondered for a moment before saying, "A bowl of wanton noodles." "Delivered soon. Would you like to order a smaller order? Our dace balls are as delicious as the wanton noodles." "Alright, I want a guest." I don't want to disappoint the master, even if the master is dead, this is just an illusion. "Thank you, please wait a moment, it will be delivered soon." I took a sip of tea and watched the owner write the order and then went to greet other guests, very busy.

With a thought in my mind, I finally saw one thing clearly. The owner, who has always been proud of his father, made wanton noodles that were not as good as those produced by the assembly line of chain restaurants. The result inevitably brought about a huge setback and disappointment.That anger, combined with pressure from developers, and disappointment, can drive people to the craziest things.like, like... At this time, the host just delivered the noodles to me. I shouldn't have guessed wrong, because I am his humanoid software, his clone.My idea is to inherit from him.He's a hacker, he's given me a lot of trouble, and I should hate him.However, he is still my master after all.Without him, there would be no me.

I was reminded of another entry of his diary—one of my favourites.
