Douluo See You For a Long Time

Chapter 618: The Era of Internet Addiction

The threat of Rui Wenwen has opened a new era. The Internet connects people to each other, but the productivity of society has regressed back to more than ten years ago.

This is like movies during the Great Depression, when other industries declined due to the economic downturn. Only movies that allow people to escape reality are bestsellers.

The same is true for the Internet. The Internet is an illusory real world. It is much more immersive than movies. It is difficult to imagine what interesting phenomena will occur when the Internet was born in an era of economic depression.

In the Tiandou Empire, in a mediocre workers' apartment, a man who came back from get off work collapsed weakly on the bed in the living room. The workers' apartment was basically an apartment with one bedroom and one living room for a family of two. There isn't even a kitchen. The bathroom is also placed directly in the living room. You can imagine what a terrible experience it would be for a family of three living in such an environment.

In order to develop the empire rapidly, he had to work until he was exhausted every day in the factory. The wages obtained are barely enough to maintain food and clothing.

This seemed good to people a few decades ago, at least they could have enough to eat. But there is no harm without comparison. There were days when the man and his family had their own house. He and his sister even had their own rooms.

But after the bloody reforms, everything changed. Their houses were taken back from the state and transformed into garment factories, and any larger buildings were expropriated.

And they were arranged to live in a small house and live a life that was like a screw every day.

The wind and rain of reality made him learn not to fantasize. No longer fantasize about having a romantic candlelight dinner with my wife, no longer fantasize about buying some toys for the children, no longer fantasize about going to the bar to order a cocktail when alone, and no longer fantasize about one day being able to escape from this repetitive and boring life.

But as he gradually became numb, the world quietly changed, the day he got the news that the network had been restored. For some reason, he started fantasizing again.

Maybe in reality he can't do anything anymore. But in the online world, he might have a big house. Maybe you can become the king of the game. Or maybe you can go see the illusory beach with your wife. He has never seen the sea since he was born.

Renewed hope was as beautiful and deadly as a poppy, and the sweatshops drained him of all his strength. And he wanted to devote all his energy to this illusory world.

He was not the only one lying on the bed in the worker's apartment, but also his wife and children. In this era, women and children are not without pressure. From a certain perspective, their pressure is not much worse than that of men.

It requires a lot of repetitive work,

Women are not excluded from the factory. Rotating machinery is often fatal to hair. In a row, several female employees were entangled in the machine because of their hair. And after being shattered to pieces.

All the female employees had to cut off their beautiful long hair, maybe because their long hair could be used to recall a meat meal, or maybe just because they couldn't afford a hat to restrain their hair.

Children learn in school, but the pressure to learn is no less than in a factory. Their scores determine their future far more cruelly than the college entrance examination. The score in that exam determines their fate for the rest of their lives.

Both hard work and talent are essential. Children without talent cannot change their destiny no matter how hard they try, because the empire does not have so many resources to train children who are not talented enough to become leaders.

They will be assigned to a small home similar to their parents, and then marry a woman they have never met before, and work like a machine to reproduce and reproduce.

Such a cruel future, they already knew that they wanted to escape from this fate the moment they stepped into the school. The minimum standard is to be in the top 3% of everyone. If we use the college entrance examination score line to measure it, it is probably that we must enter a key university to escape the tragic fate.

It is not a school, but a school marked at least 985 or 211. One can imagine the difficulty of this, and the results have become the standard for measuring everything.

Children from men’s families work very hard, but sometimes talent is really important. The brains of children before the age of 18 are still not fully developed. And this is only a subtle difference, which will determine the speed of their learning. Even if there is only a 1% difference, it will be a gap that is difficult to overcome over time.

There is no doubt that he knows that there is no way he can escape his tragic fate. In the future, he will still be like his parents, spending his life in mediocrity and pain.

So he decided to give up. It took a lot of courage to give up. Because there is no place to escape reality, and you have to face the cruel society after leaving campus.

But now, an illusory world lies before them. Perhaps this illusory world exists, and even becoming a worker with no future is not unacceptable.

Compared with the network in reality, the network connected through the spirit has the ability to have an immersive experience. They can taste food they have never tasted through their spiritual power. The illusory scene seen is also like the scene in the holographic virtual mode.

The more dreamy the world is, the more addictive it is. They will even choose some virtual food online when eating. Make real-life food less difficult to swallow.

This family is just a small microcosm on the entire continent. After the advent of the Internet, countless people chose to escape from the cruel reality. Almost all people living at the bottom of society suffer from Internet addiction.

There were no problems at first, but gradually the factory owners found that their work efficiency began to decrease. Staying up late and immersed in the Internet can relax their body and mind, but their spirit is not. Constantly getting tired.

In the factory, they begin to feel sleepy and unable to concentrate, and may even secretly turn on the Internet. After all, they do not need any Internet tools and can access the Internet through mental power.

The workers, who seemed to be sleepwalking all day long, finally faced the dissatisfaction of the factory owners. They began to report the situation to the country, hoping to get devices that block the network.

But this is difficult, and there seems to be only some records in the remains left by tulips. But it can only block the network within a small area. Otherwise, the two empires would never allow the Internet to enter their borders.

In the records of Tulip, this device has an appropriate and easy-to-understand name, called "Wall".

This is like a wall in the virtual world, separating the inside and outside, and such a wall is in this world. Undoubtedly more desperate.
