"Why is it still May 20th? Shouldn't it be June 20th? How could this be? "
Luo Xiaolu was stunned. Her mind felt as if it had been struck by lightning.
She remembered clearly that when she first came to the internet cafe, the computer showed the date as May 20th. There was no mistake. She then spent a month in the Xingwu Continent. Logically speaking, it shouldn't still be May 20th!
"Could it be …"
Luo Xiaolu couldn't accept this conjecture.
"Could it be that the month I spent in the Xingwu Continent was all an illusion created by VR technology? In reality, I only played a VR game in the internet cafe for a night. Because the game was too realistic, I had the illusion that I spent a month in the Xingwu Continent? "
Luo Xiaolu felt her hands and feet turn cold when this thought popped up. She broke out in cold sweat.
So, she didn't save all of humanity. Everything was just her achievements in the virtual game. It didn't change anything in reality …
Luo Xiaolu panicked. She turned around and saw the first rays of the morning sun peeking through the window. The sky was bright, just like when she first arrived.
She felt a little dizzy. She leaned against the chair and panted for a moment. Suddenly, she staggered to her feet and walked toward the counter.
She had to confirm this with the internet cafe owner!
Was her month in the Xingwu Continent a game or reality?!
…
Liu Haoming had already noticed Luo Xiaolu. When the words "Game Cleared" popped up on the screen, he knew that the girl was almost done playing.
As expected, the girl exited the game interface. She leaned against the chair and stared blankly for a while.
Was she tired from playing the whole night?
Liu Haoming guessed.
Soon, the girl stood up and walked toward the counter. Her footsteps looked unsteady.
She was indeed tired from playing the whole night. She couldn't even walk properly.
Liu Haoming shook his head. He knew that not everyone had the energy to play the whole night. Besides, the girl's body was weak.
"Dear customer, did you have fun tonight?"
He put on a smile and asked in a friendly tone.
Luo Xiaolu was still thinking about how to confirm with the internet cafe owner about the game. She was stunned by the other party's first sentence.
"Boss … I-I only played for one night?" She repeated the key words in the other party's question, her whole body tensing up nervously.
Liu Haoming was surprised. He didn't understand why the girl would ask such a question. He replied, "Yes, you've been playing since twelve o 'clock. It's almost the whole night."
Luo Xiaolu was stunned. The last trace of hope in her heart was shattered by the boss's affirmation. Her heart sank to the bottom and turned cold.
No one knew how desperate she was right now. She originally thought that she had saved the world by building a level ten shelter, but it was just an illusory VR illusion.
His one month experience in the Other World was just a dream in the end.
"Ying ying."
Ali's cry woke Luo Xiaolu from her despair.
This pet of the great ruler looked at its competitor in front of it with schadenfreude. Previously, it had been cheated out of a large sum of money by the other party, causing its master to put the blame on it. Naturally, it was happy to see her suffer.
"Boss, may I be so bold as to ask you a question?" Luo Xiaolu glanced at Ali and suddenly mustered her courage to ask.
"Sure." Liu Haoming nodded.
"What exactly … is reality and what is a game?"
She was too confused by this question. If the game she played in the internet cafe for a month was all fake, then was the survival game in the Other World real?
How should one define the difference between reality and a game?
The girl's question was obviously not something a normal person would ask. Liu Haoming was somewhat shocked by her.
Is it because you're too addicted to the game that you're unable to extricate yourself from?
He thought to himself. He felt that Luo Xiaolu was similar to Li Xi. Her addiction to the game had reached the point where it could seriously affect reality.
"Reality and games …"
Liu Haoming muttered to himself. As a veteran gaming nerd, he slowly expressed his opinion.
"Actually, in essence, the nature of the two is the same. There's no difference between fake and reality because games are built on the basis of reality. It all depends on how you define them.
"If you think it's real, then the game can also be reality. If you think it's fake, then reality can also be a game."
…
The internet cafe owner's voice was grand and sacred. It was like the primordial bell that pierced through the endless chaos at the beginning of the world. It resounded throughout the universe and explained the supreme truth of the world.
When these words that represented the truth of the world entered Luo Xiaolu's ears, it was as if her soul had been redeemed. Her despairing and sorrowful mood instantly calmed down. She was suddenly enlightened, and all her confusion and confusion were swept away.
"So that's how it is …"
Realization dawned on her, and her delicate face gradually became firm.
At this moment, her thoughts were raised to an unprecedented height. Her mind was clear and clear, and she was no longer hesitant about the future where reality and fiction intertwined.
The internet cafe owner was right. As long as she was firm in her heart, the reality of her month in the Other World was not that important. As the saying went, "Reality is fake, and vice versa."
Liu Haoming saw the thoughtful expression on the girl's face. She seemed to have understood his words, and he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
He was only the owner of an internet cafe, not a psychotherapist. He could only explain to her to this point. As for how to understand and how to practice after understanding, it all depended on the girl's personal understanding.
"This is the internet cafe's badge. Every customer who comes to the internet cafe for the first time will receive one. You can treat it as a souvenir of the internet cafe. Next time you want to go online, you can come here again. I'm usually open at night."
Liu Haoming said as he took out a badge from the drawer.
The badge flickered with a bewitching red light as it lay quietly in his palm. There was an asphalt-like liquid flowing inside it. Luo Xiaolu could tell at a glance that this badge was not an ordinary item. She immediately respectfully received the badge with both hands.
"Thank you, internet cafe owner."
She bowed deeply, expressing her gratitude from the bottom of her heart. Even though the badge was scorching hot in her palm, she did not dare to let go.
Liu Haoming nodded lightly at her. Almost every customer who came to the internet cafe was this polite. He was already used to it.
So, this was a modern and civilized society.
…
When Luo Xiaolu walked out of the internet cafe, the sky had just turned white. Purple air rose from the east, and the morning sun bloomed.
However, the street was still shrouded in fog, and there was not a single person in sight. It looked bleak and desolate.
The fog that had gathered at the end of the street suddenly surged violently, and a dark vacuum tunnel appeared, as if inviting her in.
