Chapter 469 Yesterday's Events Are Like Yesterday's Death

Old Tang came over and saw an old IBM notebook on the table.

Old Tang picked up the IBM computer that had been discarded by Lu Mingfei and looked at it carefully. The heavy model did not look like a product of the same era as today's laptops. The scratches on the top cover showed that this laptop had gone through some hardships and was covered with traces of time.

Due to long-term use, the letter patterns on the laptop keyboard have been rubbed to the point of being blurred, especially the surface texture of the small red dot on the keyboard has been rubbed shiny and looks extremely smooth.

"Your laptop model is a bit old. It's even older than the one I discarded a few years ago."

Lu Mingfei shook his head. “I can’t help it. My grandpa and grandma didn’t love me. I had to beg my aunt for a long time to get this computer.”

"Aunt?"

"Well, my parents were never around, so I lived with my uncle from childhood to adulthood,"

Hearing this, Old Tang instantly became curious and began to ask about Lu Mingfei's past experiences. Lu Mingfei did not hide anything and told him everything about his past.

Because his parents were not around, Lu Mingfei had been living with his uncle since he was a child, while his aunt was in charge of his uncle's family.

Lu Mingfei's aunt was not very nice to Lu Mingfei, but she was not bad either.

Although the aunt was a little fierce and mean, she never abused Lu Mingfei. At least Lu Mingfei had food, drink and a place to live since he was a child. He even attended Shilan Middle School, which was known as an aristocratic school.

However, the reason why the aunt is so generous is that Lu Mingfei's parents send his aunt a considerable amount of child support every year.

Of course, less than one-tenth of this considerable child support was actually spent on Lu Mingfei. Most of it went into the pockets of his uncle and aunt, and some was spent on his cousin Lu Mingze.

So my cousin Lu Mingze can be said to live a very comfortable life. Not only are his clothes and shoes all good brands, but his aunt will also buy him whatever he wants on weekdays.

Compared to his cousin Lu Mingze's lavish spending, Lu Mingfei's life seemed much more difficult. Even this old, shabby IBM computer was something he had to go through great pains to get from his aunt.

As they were talking, Lu Mingfei told Lao Tang about his past experiences in school.

Listening to Lu Mingfei's past, the image of a bad boy gradually became three-dimensional in Old Tang's mind.

He looked at the current image of Lu Mingfei, tall and mighty, with a stern face, a macho man at first glance. He then compared it with the unlucky kid version of Lu Mingfei in his mind. He could not imagine that these two beings were actually the same person.

"Brother Fei, you must have had a very hard life in the past! It's hard to imagine that you were like that in the past."

Lu Mingfei smiled and shook his head: "It's all in the past. Everything that happened yesterday is like yesterday's death. The me now is the real me."

The two chatted for a while, and Old Tang picked up Lu Mingfei's obsolete laptop again, insisting on trying to play StarCraft with the red dot.

Lu Mingfei did not refuse. He returned to his study, logged into the game on his new computer, and started competing with Lao Tang.

Lu Mingfei used the red dot and Lao Tang used the mouse, and the two of them were able to fight back and forth.

At this moment, the situation reversed, with Lao Tang using the red dot and Lu Mingfei using the mouse, and there was no suspense about the ending at all.

"What the hell is this red dot? How could anyone use it to play games?" Old Tang shouted after losing several games.

Luo Mingfei walked directly to the living room and made a gesture of invitation: "You don't believe it, right? Then let's change it."

The two exchanged positions and started fighting again.

Not long after, Old Tang began to doubt his life again: "Brother Fei, tell me, are you cheating? Why can I still lose when you use the red dot?"

Lu Mingfei nodded: "I did cheat, and it slightly improved my thinking speed. After all, if I didn't cheat, I wouldn't be able to last long in front of you with the red dot now."

He played StarCraft with Old Tang just to prove that he had indeed used the red dot to fight against Old Tang before.

As for the game itself, after playing the game in Star Domain World, Lu Mingfei no longer has much interest in StarCraft.

Old Tang has just practiced Yangshen Taoism for a period of time. His thinking speed has improved a lot, and his gaming skills are also stronger than before. If he maintains his normal strength and uses the red dot to fight, Lu Mingfei will have no chance of defeating him at all, so he chooses to improve his thinking speed and end the game quickly.

As he had lost several games in a row and was still beaten after switching equipment, Old Tang was already a little frustrated.

He slammed the lid of his notebook shut. "No more playing. It's so boring to be at home playing games when it's a rare trip. Brother Fei, please take me out for a walk."

Lu Mingfei showed a mysterious smile on his face: "Do you really think so? Playing games doesn't have to be boring."

Old Tang nodded firmly: "Of course, I just want to go out for a walk, breathe the fresh air of the southern town, and feel the cultural atmosphere of China. I have no interest in games at all now."

Lu Mingfei waved his hand, a ray of light flashed, and two silver-white gaming consoles with smooth lines and a high-tech feel appeared on the floor of the living room.

The moment he saw the game cabin, Lao Tang’s eyes widened.

"This, this, this, that, that, what are these?!"

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be amazed at Lu Mifei's ability to take objects from the void, or at the two game cabins in front of him that looked like they should have appeared in a science fiction movie.

Although he had been mentally prepared for Lu Mingfei's extraordinary abilities after this period of contact, Lu Mingfei's performance at this time still exceeded his imagination.

"What else could it be? Can't you tell? Of course it's a virtual reality game cabin."

Lao Tang and Lu Mingfei were in the same StarCraft group chat. Most of the people in that group were game enthusiasts. They had discussed virtual infiltration games many times.

They have also studied the carrier devices of virtual embedded devices and agreed that the initial carrier is most likely a game cabin, and it is possible to evolve into a game helmet or even game glasses after technological development.

However, during the discussion at that time, everyone agreed that virtual infiltration technology was still somewhat out of reach for current human technology, and it would take at least thirty or forty years to play a virtual infiltration game.

Lu Mingfei patted the door of the game cabin and said, "How about it, do you still feel like going out for a walk?" Old Tang quickly shook his head, "No, no, going out for a walk is not as comfortable as staying at home and playing games. Come on, Brother Fei, take me with you and tell me how to play this thing."

Old Tang was too lazy to think about where Lu Mingfei got the game console from. Anyway, it was fine as long as he had something to play with. His Brother Fei was very powerful, so whatever he took out would be normal.

“Just sit in and close the hatch. After entering the game, choose the novice mode, and then an AI will guide you on how to operate it,” said Lu Mingfei.

Hearing this, Old Tang rubbed his hands and couldn't wait to get into the game cabin.

Lu Mingfei could even sense that Old Tang’s interest in this gaming console was no less than his interest in cultivation.

He nodded with satisfaction and followed them into the game cabin.

Soon, he and Lao Tang were connected online through the local area network.

"Wow, Brother Fei, this is so cool. The game is controlled directly through brain waves. The feeling of being able to control units by imagination makes me feel like I have become the creator of the world."

The battlefield of the Stellaris game is very grand and majestic, and many of the terrains are scanned from real scenes and then recorded in 1:1.

During the game, players can have a bird's-eye view of the overall situation, zoom in and out at will, deploy troops and generals, and control the operation of the entire empire. This feeling is no different from that of the creator God.

Old Tang familiarized himself with the operation a little and immediately initiated a game application to Lu Mingfei.

Soon, he came out of the game cabin with a frustrated look on his face.

"Brother Fei, you are too much of a bully!

Why is your empire running so smoothly that it has produced a Galaxy-class Nebula ship in just one hour, while my empire has just broken through the atmosphere. "

Lu Mingfei also poked his head out of the game cabin: "This is the power of this game. Even though the operation of this game is very simple and it is operated directly with brain waves, there are so many ways to operate it.

I can even set up individual shift schedules for each of my factories to speed up production.

Although these operational areas can also be directly managed by AI, if all resources can be integrated for ultimate development, the development speed can be accelerated several times.

In this game just now, I fully utilized my thinking speed, which is why I was able to develop so quickly. "

Old Tang wailed, “Ah, how can I play this then?

It’s okay for StarCraft, after all, the game mechanism dictates that even if you have a fast thinking speed, you can’t fully utilize your advantages.

After all, there are only so many things that can be manipulated. After the speed of thinking reaches a limit, strategic vision is the key to determining victory or defeat.

But this game can almost fully demonstrate your advantage in thinking speed, Brother Fei. If I play with you, I will be asking for trouble."

Lu Mingfei waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. I just wanted to show you how extreme thinking works in the game. Next time we play, I will control my thinking speed to the same standard as your cultivation level. Just give it your all."

The purpose of Lu Mingfei taking Lao Tang to play games is not just for the game itself. In fact, fully mobilizing the thinking to work at high speed is also a good way to temper the soul.

Moreover, linking the fun of the game with the level of cultivation can also serve as an encouragement for Lao Tang's cultivation, preventing Lao Tang from thinking only about playing games every day like in Master Hu's diary.

After getting Lu Mingfei's promise, Lao Tang enthusiastically went into the game cabin and started the game again.

This time, under Lu Mingfei's deliberate control, the battle between him and Lao Tang became evenly matched. Although Lao Tang still lost more than he won, he still had a lot of fun.

After having a partner who is a match for you, the fun of the Stellaris game is immediately revealed to the fullest.

With over a hundred races to choose from, completely different technology trees, and a completely realistic battlefield, this is like a paradise for a gamer living in 2008.

The direct evolution from mosaic to virtual reality can definitely be considered as the maximum experience.

Old Tang and Lu Mingfei had a lot of fun and stayed up all night.

Moreover, the two of them did not feel tired at all the next day. Instead, they were full of energy.

It was fine for Lu Mingfei to be in this situation, as sleeping was not necessary for his current level of cultivation.

Lao Tang was able to do this thanks to the function of the game cabin itself. In the game cabin, players will enter a deep sleep state, which is completely enough to replace sleep and can even provide better rest than sleeping directly.

Over the next ten days, Lu Mingfei's life became extremely simple. He attended classes and practiced during the day, and went home to play online with Lao Tang at night. His days were fulfilling and interesting.

And Old Tang's cultivation also made rapid progress during such days. On the one hand, it was because he had the spiritual power of Dragon King Norton as a foundation, and on the other hand, the game and the visualization method were too perfectly coordinated. He practiced visualization during the day and tempered his spirit through high-intensity battles at night. The combination of the two made Old Tang's cultivation level undergo rapid changes in a short period of time.

In addition, during this period of time, Lu Mingfei was not stingy with rare treasures to Lao Tang. He directly maxed out various resources to assist in cultivation, and even provided him with enough ancient dragon tooth rice.

Lu Mingfei didn't feel bad about this at all, because he couldn't use all these things by himself anyway.

After all, every time Han Li finished growing the Ancient Dragon Tooth Rice, he would share a portion of it with his group members, resulting in a mountain of Ancient Dragon Tooth Rice piling up in Lu Mingfei's storage space.

With the abundant supply of resources, in just one week, Old Tang made a breakthrough from the realm of exorcism to the realm of possession.

In just half a month, Old Tang went from a novice in cultivation to a Taoist practitioner who could be considered a master in the Yangshen World. If the people in the Yangshen World knew about this, they would be so shocked.

This speed of progress is much faster than that of Zhang Junbao at that time.

However, Lu Mingfei was not surprised by this. After all, Old Tang's true identity was the Dragon King Norton, who was born with an incomparable mental power. In addition, the training environment of the Ancient Dragon Fang was full of rice. It would be unfair if the training conditions could not improve faster.

However, after reaching the realm of driving away objects, the benefits of spiritual power that Lao Tang had gained from practicing were basically consumed by him, and it would not be so easy to make further progress.
