Hidden moth

Chapter 45 Virtual and Reality

Since he was old enough to understand, He Kao has learned to read people's expressions, especially the faces of the adults in the family. He appears to be very well-behaved, thoughtful and good at pleasing others.

But this is not the kind of calculating sophistication, it is just to better adapt to survival and thus develop a way of dealing with people.

It's easy to get along with people like him, whether it's Lao Qian, Xiao Pang, or E Zong. I've seen many experienced people with high emotional intelligence, but not He Kao's style.

Since he was a child, He Kao has always been regarded as "the other people's child" by the parents in the neighborhood. For example, Mother Chen likes him very much and always uses He Kao as an example to criticize Xiaopang.

Huang Xiaopang grew up under the comparison of He Kao, a "positive role model". It is really not easy for the two to have such a good relationship.

Of course, Xiaopang seems to have a detached mentality, as if he doesn't care about comparing himself with ordinary people. In his eyes, He Kao has always been someone who needs care.

But He Kao himself, of course, prefers a relaxed and enjoyable life. For example, he is very good at cooking. Whether it is because the adults at home are too busy or he just wants to eat better, the fundamental reason is that he has to learn how to cook.

After he started working, there was a simple stove in the apartment, but he had never even cooked.

The company's cafeteria is very good, with a wide variety of food, good quality and low prices, and can accommodate three meals a day. If you want to change your taste occasionally, there is a food court not far from the apartment... How convenient!

The lamb leg he stewed yesterday was the first meal he had cooked himself in the past six months, but it felt like a kind of enjoyment in life, very suitable for relaxing the mood.

During dinner yesterday, several people discussed how to deal with the house, and he also realized the benefits of having connections.

Xiaopang took the lead in taking over the matter. He told He Kao not to worry, saying that he had a friend who lived in Guanliu Community, and that his classmates knew the people in the property management there, and asked him to help find out the information first.

Lao Qian nodded in agreement, and then said that He Kao himself did not need to show up. If there were any problems, it would be left to the lawyer to handle, including transfer procedures, etc. Anyway, the house title was here, and He Kao was the legal owner of the property rights.

Before He Kao could express his opinion, the two guys had already discussed the matter. In short, the core idea was to prevent He Kao from having to go through so much trouble.

He Kao knew that they all had great powers, so he thought, forget it, just follow their arrangements and worry-free.

When Huang Xiaopang woke up the next day, he found that he had a bunch of unread messages and several missed calls. Then he remembered what He Shan had asked him yesterday, so he called back.

By the afternoon, many people in the town knew that He Kao had found a pair of gold paperweights and a house deed in the safe deposit box. Each gold bar weighed about ten pounds, and the house was a luxurious large apartment in Guanliu Community.

The rumors spread more and more outrageous, until some even claimed that He Kao had obtained a box of gold left by his father, plus a box of property deeds. Could anyone carry a box of gold? As for a box of property deeds, that was even more outrageous!
At dinner time, uncle He Changshan finally couldn't help but call He Kao, first inviting him to his home for dinner, and then mentioned the rumors in the town.

My uncle finally got the first-hand information from He Kao, which was a pair of gold paperweights and a house deed... As for dinner, I won't go over for dinner, as He Kao still has things to deal with.

My uncle made small talk again, and then he talked about how he had lost a large batch of goods last time and that his business had been a little short of working capital recently...

He Kao naturally changed the subject and said that the pair of paperweights were his father's relics and he would never sell them unless he was completely penniless.

As for the house, no one has lived in it for more than 20 years, and its situation is still unclear. The transfer and title confirmation procedures have not been completed... Even if he gets the house, he has no plans to sell it for the time being. He is still renting an apartment in the city.

It was true that he didn't have much liquid funds. After working for more than half a year, He Kao lived a relatively frugal life and had saved about 60,000 yuan.

If you entrust a lawyer to handle the subsequent matters of the house, it will cost a lot of money, and 60,000 may not be enough.

He recently had an extra two million in his card, which was the deposit for Senior Lin Qingshuang to "rent" the pendant, and one and a half million of it had to be returned in a few months.

Theoretically, He Kao owns 500,000 yuan, but he feels a little uneasy about the money and does not plan to touch it until the matter is over.

At this time, the eldest aunt snatched the phone away and warned He Kao in a loud voice that it would be better for him to hide recently and not stay in his hometown for no reason. The rumors outside were outrageous and many people in the village were planning to borrow money from He Kao...

When his aunt reminded him, He Kao had actually returned to the city and had received several calls. The callers were neither strangers nor familiar, and they were all people he had known since childhood.

As soon as they opened their mouths, they all congratulated He Kao. But before they could say anything else, He Kao retorted: "Congratulations for what? Congratulations on your father's early death!"

What He Kao really disliked was not the attempt to borrow money. Maybe the other person really needed the money urgently, and he could choose to lend it or not... But this matter itself was not worthy of congratulations, at least that was how he felt.

It was not He Kao's habit to speak like this, he almost never did so, but for some reason, he couldn't help it this time. Every time he hung up the phone, he felt a little regretful, but he would feel the same way again when he answered the phone again, because he really couldn't bear to hear congratulations again.

He almost wanted to shout to the sky - Can you please stop congratulating me!
In the end, He Kao simply set the do not disturb function and stopped answering calls from numbers he didn't use frequently. As for other matters, people who wanted to contact him would send him messages directly.

While He Kao was talking to his aunt, Qian Guran was also on the phone. He said seriously, "Yes, I confirmed it myself. There is a pair of gold paperweights and a house deed in the safe.

The paperweight weighs about ten kilograms, pure gold. The property's title deed is registered to Zhou Du, Room 602, Building , Guanliu Mansion. There's nothing else...

I personally waited at the door. As soon as he came out of the bank, he got into my car. I couldn't have missed anything on him. Bank insiders could also confirm that he took everything with him. We can investigate and check the surveillance footage.

As for the materials you mentioned, there are definitely none, at least I haven't seen them... This is understandable. The best things a father would leave to his son are of course money and a house."

The person on the other end of the phone said, "Not necessarily. Those things might not have been left to his son. They must have been saved by him. He just didn't expect to have the chance to retrieve them later... Otherwise, how could his family have been completely unaware of it for the past twenty years?"

Qian didn't argue, agreeing, "You do have a point. According to my research, Zhou Du left over 800,000 yuan in savings for his family, but he never mentioned the safe deposit box."

The other party: "Oh, how much do you know about his family situation?" Qian Guran: "The savings have been spent long ago, and the old people have passed away... There were so many old and young people at that time. You have never met his relatives. If it was left twenty years ago, it would never have reached the hands of that child in the end.

I think it would be more reliable to wait for my son to come of age and get it directly in 20 years. I wonder if there are other things stored somewhere else... What kind of material are you talking about?"

The other party: "It's just the transaction records. It might have been quite sensitive at the time. I don't want more people to see it."

Qian Guran: "I see. I won't ask anymore. I'll keep an eye out for more information for you when I have the chance... I'm in Pingjing. I wanted to come and see you in person, but something happened during the holiday, so I had to call you first."

He Kao once thought that there was something wrong with Lao Qian, and it turned out that there was something wrong with Lao Qian. Someone asked Lao Qian to investigate what was in the safe deposit box, focusing on the documents, but Lao Qian helped He Kao hide them.

Lao Qian didn't even meet with the client. He found an excuse to go out of town first, and then informed him over the phone. Of course, He Kao knew nothing about it.

He Kao had a very fulfilling holiday. After stopping answering the phone, he began to adjust his body and mind. He also realized that his emotions had some minor fluctuations and he needed to return to the state - the state of preparation for cultivation annotated by Senior Lin.

He Kao practiced the set of meditation techniques annotated by Senior Lin at midnight every day. After waking up the next day, he practiced the Eight-Section Brocade taught by Lao Qian, and then had breakfast before starting work.

Even though he has a serious job, he still works overtime during holidays. However, he does not live in the apartment. Instead, he moved to the newly opened E-era community. It is not a temporary rental house, but his workplace.

While President E didn't require anyone to work overtime during the Golden Week holiday, she did assign tasks, leaving it up to each person to complete them. He Kao was on-site collecting data and performing debugging.

E-Era Community is the latest real estate project developed by the Bada Group. The real estate market has been sluggish in recent years, a severe downturn that has even a strong real estate developer like the Bada Group struggling.

In order to promote sales, they also came up with many ways, including cooperating with the "Ideal City" project team to move the promotion online.

The ideal city is a virtual living community, requiring detailed details in every aspect, including virtual homes. Online, a home is just a string of data, seemingly meaningless, but offline, the situation is different.

This project integrates online and offline elements, bringing the virtual into reality. Simply by wearing AR glasses, customers can easily enter the E-era community in the virtual city, select their preferred house and apartment type, and then compare it to the real world in a 1:1 scale.

In addition, there is a modular decoration style, which provides several sets of plans that can be switched with one click. More importantly, various home furnishings and practical scene simulations can be completed in virtual scenes.

The system is connected to the shopping mall and provides a variety of virtual products, including furniture, cabinets, various electrical appliances, and even bedding, as well as combination solutions provided by various design companies.

In modern home decoration, even if you buy a fully furnished ready-made house, there are still many troubles when adding various furniture and supplies. Some of them are not suitable in size, and some of them are not coordinated in layout after purchase, and the cost of regret is too high.

If all this can be done in a virtual scene and restored in reality, it will not only be extremely worry-free, but also become a pleasure.

Anyone can freely arrange and try again and again until they are satisfied. This is an experience for users, and it creates another business model for the platform.

This virtual scene can include all the products needed in the home.

So, for example, a refrigerator might appear to offer a variety of models and brands in the virtual scene, but these are all provided by the platform. What products does the platform offer? Of course, they are all from partners who are collaborating on the project, and they need to provide data.

Bada Group is one of the cooperative partners. It not only provides floor plan drawings and design data, but also provides houses of corresponding types for on-site testing by technical personnel.

Data on electrical appliances and furniture are easy to handle, you just need to directly call the templates provided by the merchants, but data on spatial scenes still requires technicians like He Kao to actually sample and adjust them. After all, the employees at Bada Group don't do this.

The product data templates provided by merchants also require the platform's technical staff to provide correction feedback during testing.

He Kao has been working overtime these days in a three-bedroom apartment, which houses a full set of household items, all of which are samples for testing. He only needs to bring some spare clothes and toiletries.

To outsiders, his behavior seemed a bit strange. He walked around the room wearing AR glasses every day, and then worked on his laptop for a long time.

In fact, the glasses He Kao wears have three modes: full virtual mode, semi-transparent mode, and full reality mode.

The full virtual mode means that he cannot see anything in reality and is walking completely in a virtual environment, but the virtual and real scenes are theoretically almost overlapping.

For example, if he wants to go to bed, he can go to the bedroom in the virtual scene, reach out to open the door and lie down... and in fact all these things really exist.

Future users will not need to do this and are unlikely to do so. They can simply control the handle in place to achieve spatial displacement and scene switching.

But development and testing personnel like He Kao often need to really step out of the real space and the corresponding data.

He needs to constantly switch between full virtual and full reality modes, compare the subtle differences between the two scenes, adjust the virtual scenes as much as possible to make them more realistic, or give suggestions for model modification.

The so-called semi-transparent mode, also known as the safety mode, allows you to see both virtual and real scenes. This makes it less likely to cause accidents such as door collisions, and it is also convenient to intuitively compare the differences between the two scenes.

Xiao Wu's master, Zhang Yanfei, once lamented that perhaps the detention center was a good place to concentrate on cultivation. He Kao felt that this kind of virtual scene testing, once completed to a certain degree, could be a good way to inspire spiritual perception.

As the times change, many methods have emerged that our predecessors never thought of.

In the full virtual mode, theoretically, what he saw were not real objects in reality, but he seemed to feel the existence of those objects very clearly.

At first it was because of the virtual glasses, but in the end, he used another mode - the power-off mode.
