Just as he expected, the dishes he picked would be "cartoonized" by AR and appear in the game one by one.
Although Kiana had never eaten this kind of tabletop barbecue before, the foodie's pursuit of delicious food is engraved in her bones. She turned on the electric oven, put the barbecue in the baking pan and started cooking without Jinyun's teaching.
It is worth mentioning that although Jinyun did not turn on the oven, the oven in the game screen was still working. Obviously, this is also the result automatically generated after the game character interacts with the environment.
Originally, Jinyun wanted to see if Kiana in the game could roast the meat without turning on the stove.
During the meal, Jinyun also tried to pick up some food for Kiana.
He noticed that if the food he picked up was the one that Kiana had taken, then from his real perspective, what he picked up was air. If the food he picked up for the other person was the one he had taken in reality, then even though Kiana in the game screen had eaten the food, the food in reality would not change at all.
This result is normal. If his own food really disappeared out of thin air, Jinyun should be scared.
After a hearty meal, Jinyun took Kiana to other places. Before they had taken a few steps, Kiana grabbed Jinyun's arm and pointed to the Mixue Ice City next door and said:
"Stupid teacher, I want to eat ice cream!"
"But, didn't you just eat so much barbecue?"
"Barbecue has its own taste, and ice cream has its own taste. Don't you understand this?"
"...How many stomachs do you have?"
Jinyun shrugged helplessly, walked into the store and bought two ice creams.
He was curious what would happen if he bought two and handed one to Kiana.
This problem was soon confirmed. Although Kiana in the AR glasses took a portion of ice cream, Jinyun in reality still had two portions in his hands. The portion that Kiana took was copied out of thin air by the game.
Tsk, I can only say it's very reasonable.
"what about the taste?"
"Sweet! Much better than snow!"
"You're talking nonsense."
Jinyun rubbed Kiana's little head with a smile. Just as he was about to enjoy the ice cream, a loud "boom" sound like a bomb explosion rang out and reached the ears of both of them!
The two men quickly raised their heads and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a black car with thick smoke coming out of its tires, speeding towards the crowd on the zebra crossing at a very fast speed. The sharp sound of brakes was extremely piercing, and it was obvious that the car had lost control due to a tire blowout!
Seeing that the out-of-control car was about to hit the crowd, Jinyun ignored the panic in his heart and instinctively reached out to the car and lifted it up.
The car in the AR glasses was affected and suddenly flew high up on the spot, then landed steadily under Jinyun's drag, only two meters away from the crowd!
But after realizing that this was just a game screen, Jinyun quickly took off his VR glasses.
However, as soon as he took off his glasses, Jinyun was stunned by the scene before him.
The out-of-control car was dangerously stopped less than two meters away from the crowd, just like in the game scene just now. Even the angle was exactly the same.
He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and stood there, muttering to himself in disbelief:
"How on earth did it stop?"
With the help of enthusiastic people, traffic police and ambulance quickly arrived at the scene and took away the out-of-control car and the driver.
The driver did not appear to have suffered any serious injuries, but was knocked unconscious by the airbag.
According to the description of onlookers, when the car was about to hit the crowd, it suddenly flew into the air as if it hit something, and then fell back to the ground.
It was as if an invisible hand had thrown him up and caught him again. It was very magical.
After hearing the people's description, Jinyun stood there in amazement, feeling cold sweat oozing from his forehead and sliding down his cheeks.
How could this be possible?
Is it a coincidence?
No matter how you think about it, it's just a coincidence...
Chapter 123 Mon3tr (4K)
Dusk faded and night fell.
Jinyun didn't know how he got back to the community.
On the way back, he kept recalling the scene that had just happened on the street.
Am I really affecting reality through virtual games?
But the problem is that Jinyun made several similar attempts after that.
He tried to crush the stones on the roadside with his hands and tried to make the shared bicycle take off on the spot.
But these attempts are only effective for the images in the game. The stone pillars and shared bicycles in reality remain the same, with no trace of having been moved by him.
He was even criticized by Kiana in the game for looking for trouble.
In other words, the car being stopped just now was just a coincidence.
The question is, how did the car stop?
The road was flat and gentle, without any bumps at all, and the car did not hit the fence, so how could it fly into the air and then land steadily?
It's exactly the same as the game screen...
The more Jinyun thought about it, the more troubled he felt. Just then, the AR glasses popped up a reminder that the battery was too low and was about to shut down. He had no choice but to give up trying, pause the game, and then turn off the power of the AR glasses.
"Jinyun? What are you doing here?"
As soon as I entered the community, Yun Xi's familiar voice came from behind me.
Jinyun turned around and saw Yunxi walking towards him with one hand in his pocket, carrying the food he had packed from lunchtime.
The two white and smooth legs like jade looked even more delicate and attractive under the light of the street lamp. If it were usual, Jinyun would have to take a few more glances, but now, his mind was full of the car in the daytime, and he had no extra thoughts to pay attention to these things.
"Sister Xi, did you go buy food?" Jinyun glanced at the take-away box in Yunxi's hand and replied casually, "I went out for a walk today and just came back."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet, I'll go home and do it now."
"No, I took my uncle and aunt out to eat something. This is takeaway. Let's eat at my clinic before going back."
Yun Xi said this as he walked past Jin Yun and headed towards the clinic.
Jinyun thought about it for a moment and felt that he had no reason to refuse, so he agreed and followed Yunxi to the clinic.
After opening the rolling door, a familiar smell of disinfectant wafted towards me.
Perhaps it was because he had walked too far today and was too tired, Jinyun actually felt that the scent of disinfectant made him feel extremely at ease, as if he had returned to a second home.
Yun Xi found a few stools to use as tables and chairs, and placed the still warm leftovers in front of Jin Yun.
Jinyun was not very hungry originally, but as soon as he smelled the fragrance of the food, his empty stomach immediately groaned.
He picked up the lunch box and started to eat without saying a word, while Yun Xi considerately poured him a cup of hot water.
Halfway through the meal, Jinyun pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Sister Xi, do you believe there is magic in this world?"
"..."
Yun Xi frowned slightly, with a calm expression on his face. He didn't care at all and asked instead, "Why are you asking such strange questions all of a sudden? What cartoons are you watching?"
"No, I just... well, how should I put it, maybe I've been having too many strange dreams lately."
Jinyun put down his chopsticks, and those strange dreams and his experiences while shopping during the day kept emerging in his mind.
Yun Xi snorted and said calmly, "Don't always talk about wild and unrealistic things. You are not young anymore. If you have time to think about those things, you might as well plan your future well.
Auntie's illness has improved a lot, and it's time for you to get your life back on track. Either find a proper job or learn from me. I recently saw a store in Beihai City and plan to open a branch there, and let you be in charge."
"Ah I?"
"Don't you always feel that I look down upon your abilities? It's time to prove yourself."
"No, no, no, what I mean is that investing in a shop is no small matter, especially in a municipality."
"People go to higher places, water flows to lower places. You have to develop in a big city. Isn't your goal to bring your uncle and aunt to live in a big city?"
Jinyun scratched his hair and said awkwardly: "That's true, but I have to work hard on my own. How can I let you pay for it, as if I'm just a gigolo..."
Yun Xi tapped Jin Yun's head with his finger calmly and said:
"Then work hard and don't live off others. Young people today are not like those decades ago. At that time, no matter if you were rich or poor, hard work would pay off, and you could really get rich with your own hands.
If we, the elders, don’t help you, you will never be able to gain a foothold in a big city even if you work hard all your life.”
"That's so realistic..."
Jinyun put down his chopsticks, looking quite helpless, but he couldn't find anything to refute.
Yun Xi was speaking the truth. He was a man who had experienced the whippings of society. He was also very clear that he was one of the luckiest people. He had won the qualification for the Star Network's game beta test and had earned over a million dollars in less than half a year just by lying in bed.
Any top student would have to work hard for ten years to earn this amount of money, not to mention ordinary people with low education and working-class families.
Jinyun picked up the chopsticks again, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he told the other person what happened during the day:
"By the way, Sister Xi, I encountered something while shopping today. After thinking about it, I still want to hear your opinion. This matter has been on my mind for a long time, making me feel suffocated."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"Ahem, actually it's somewhat related to what I just asked you. Today..."
In the next few minutes, Jinyun used his slightly exaggerated body language to vividly describe to Yunxi what he had seen and heard during the day, especially the scene of the car taking off out of thin air and then landing steadily. Jinyun described it as so thrilling.
After listening to Jinyun's statement, the usually calm Yunxi couldn't help but reveal a serious expression, completely forgetting that he had previously taught Jinyun a lesson for his wild imagination.
"If what you said is true, this should have been on the news."
"Well, maybe. My phone died and I haven't checked it yet. How about you take a look?"
Yun Xi nodded, took out his mobile phone, opened the short video platform, clicked on the homepage of the local county news account, and indeed saw the car accident that Jinyun mentioned.
The on-site video was captured by a surveillance camera at the door of a roadside shop. Due to the low pixel count, the video is not very clear, and the title is specially marked with the word "bizarre".
Yun Xi clicked on the video and watched the whole process with Jin Yun. According to subsequent expert analysis, the car lost control due to a sudden tire explosion, and the same was true for the reason why it was airborne.
The right front wheel of the car exploded and the rear tire detached. Because the car was traveling at high speed, the tire did not detach in time and the rear wheel of the car rode directly on the tire. Due to inertia, the whole car flew into the air, which resulted in the scene in the video.
Jinyun recalled carefully that he heard the sound of a tire bursting at that time, and was sure that the car lost control because of the tire burst. However, if it had hit a tire and flew into the air, its flight trajectory should have been a parabola, not flying straight in place.
The weirdest thing was the way it landed. Falling from such a high place, it should have been smashed to pieces, but when the car landed, it seemed to be supported by some force, with an obvious resistance...
Could it be that it hit something when it was about to land?
From a practical perspective, although the expert's analysis is a bit forced, it is indeed the only explanation that can make sense. If we look into it in more detail, we can only rely on metaphysics.
Unless there was a tornado in that place at the time, it would be difficult to explain what happened using real physical phenomena.
Yun Xi put down his phone, stretched out his finger and poked Jin Yun's temple, scolding him lightly:
"Don't worry about it. Go home and rest early after dinner. Accompany me to Beihai City tomorrow."
"Ah? Are you really going to open it?"
"Ah."
"Well, I'll invest in it, too. You pay half and I pay half. You can't refuse. You can't let me live off you forever, right?"
"Let's wait until it's confirmed. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"walk slowly!"
-
The next day, Jinyun told his parents about Yunxi's arrangements and left home for a nearby underground commercial parking lot.
Yun Xi had been waiting here for a long time. Her vehicle was still the black luxury car of unknown brand. At least it looked very high-end from the outside. Jin Yun wanted to get one of the same model, but unfortunately the other party refused to tell him where the car was from.
He fastened his seat belt, put on AR glasses, and planned to enjoy the driving journey that combined the second dimension with reality.
Because Sister Xi was there, Jinyun did not activate Kiana's character card. If the other party knew that he was using these glasses to play the game of supporting a wife, he would definitely be given a cold shoulder and scolded.
As the augmented reality filter was activated, the world in Jinyun's eyes suddenly changed from reality to a virtual world that combined the real and the virtual. The underground parking lot was filled with all kinds of colorful luminous graffiti, and there were many black shadows swaying around.
Jinyun observed the dark shadows carefully, and suddenly felt an eerie sense of familiarity.
The black shadows were hiding in the shadows, with various shapes. From the outline, some looked like humans, some looked like wild beasts, and some were giants with huge bodies. They looked almost the same as the Bu Li human-machine beast that he had killed in the game before.
Jinyun frowned, opened the UI interface, and selected the black shadows in front of him with the virtual mouse. The names displayed were actually:
Mysterious black shadow!
He had just vaguely sensed that these things looked very similar to the mirror-like black shadow that had been pestering him before.
