I am weak and friendly

Chapter 221 I searched for him a thousand times, and there he was, writing code.

Tang Yiping stared blankly at the elevator buttons in front of him.

He knew it the moment he sensed Wei Song's "aura".

Wei Song has been forgotten.

Actually, this is a good thing for him, because it has entered his domain.

He never expected that he would follow the scent back to the Qihang Building.

No way, is there another passage in Qihang Building that leads to "the other side of the world"?
No, no, no.

But he also felt it made sense.

It seems that everything that happened before was related to Qihang Building.

Following the scent into the elevator, Tang Yiping then smelled the unpleasant odor of his company's booming business.

As the most thriving company in the entire Qihang Building, its own company is no longer viable.

This made Tang Yiping sigh deeply.

Alas, what was once so beautiful, now filled with the stench of decay, has turned into this!

It's heartbreaking!
It’s so uncomfortable!
Then, as the elevator passed the eighth floor and continued upwards, Tang Yiping sensed something new.

It's faint.

The air was thick with the stench of decay.

Not the kind you dislike, but something even purer, more mellow, and more enticing than Linghai Technology's original product...

If Linghai Technology is like beer diluted with water, then this is at least a glass of 1982 Lafite.

As the elevator ascended higher and higher, the aura grew stronger and stronger!

Ah, the stench of corruption! I love you so much!

Tang Yiping felt his heart was instantly moved!
It smells so good! It smells amazing!

Really want!
Ah, why didn't we notice this before?
What is this? Why does it smell so good?

Tang Yiping felt like a mouse that had entered a rice jar; his scavenging instincts were pounding, and he couldn't wait to jump right in.

This is not the aura of a "passage"!

It's the scent of something forgotten, devoid of competition, waiting to be devoured!

What will it be?
Could this be the forgotten office space of Touchpoint Connect?

That makes sense, since it's an internet startup company located in Hailing City, it's quite possible that it's in the software park.

If an internet startup manages to attract wealthy investors and secure sufficient funding, then it's perfectly normal for such a company to be located in the Qihang Building.

As the elevator ascended, the atmosphere grew stronger and stronger.

Then he discovered.

40 is too low, 42 is too high.

But there is no 41st floor.

This situation is not uncommon. After all, ordinary elevators do not go to all floors. Many floors have equipment floors or the like, which are directly bypassed.

So Tang Yiping hadn't really cared about it before.

But now he feels... it's not that simple.

"Awoo, woo-chirp woo-chirp woo-chirp..." Stokka suddenly became excited, its two dog eyes fixed on the front.

"Stoka, what do you see? What's inside? What's in there? Wow! It smells so good! I feel like I'm going to strike it rich!"

Stoka turned to look at Tang Yiping. He didn't know how to describe what he had seen to Tang Yiping. Even using his listening ability wouldn't help, since there were no words in human language to describe this kind of thing.

He could only whimper and moan.

Stokka can see it, but he can't?

Yes, Stoka perceives the world differently than I do. He said he can see "bubble spaces." Could there be something like a bubble space here?
But anyway, here we are.

The elevator finally stopped on the 42nd floor, which is a high-rise observation deck. Tang Yiping stepped out of the elevator and looked down.

Then he asked Stoka.

"Stoka, is this a bubble space?"

Stoka nodded and then shook his head.

"Yes? No? Not entirely?"

Not entirely, is it?
An incomplete bubble space? Is that the correct understanding?

"Can you open it?"

Stoka shook his head.

"What about Lola and Lux?"

Stoka thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"They can't open it either? Do you know how this bubble space was formed?"

Stoka shook his head again.

Then he shook his head vigorously, as if to remind Tang Yiping of something.

Tang Yiping had studied dog language before, so even without listening to the dog's voice, he could understand its meaning.

"Okay, I understand. You're saying this isn't entirely a bubble space..."

So, what exactly is it?
Tang Yiping frowned in thought.

He looked down.

Aside from the floor, he couldn't see anything else, but his [Carrion Eater] was reminding him, touching him. Then he saw the [Dust of Tranquility] that had been following him, floating up and down beside him.

Is this where you came from?

How did you get out?

"If you were able to get out, this place must be able to be opened, or it must have been opened before."

"Why? Who opened this place and let you out?"

"Was it Wei Song? He opened this door, so you ran out?"

"How did he open this place?"

"Could it be related to forgetting?"

Tang Yiping rocked the handles of his wheelchair back and forth, deep in thought.

He had a vague idea of ​​what it was, but he couldn't quite grasp it.

Whenever he gets into trouble, he asks someone for advice.

Tang Yiping thought for a moment and sent a message to Master Tang: "Old Tang, why do humans forget? What is the mechanism of forgetting?"

Old Tang was doing something and didn't answer him for a long time.

Sigh, Lao Tang, he's unreliable when it really matters!
Tang Yiping frowned, pondering who else he could consult.

Then, on a whim, he opened the forum of L station, which he frequented, and posted a question for advice.

"Guys, what if something actually exists, but nobody remembers it? And because everyone has forgotten it, it can't be found in reality anymore; even the traces of its existence are disappearing, as if it never existed? What could this be? I need an answer urgently!"

The post received responses very quickly.

"Hey, why didn't Hirako update his live stream post today? I was really looking forward to seeing the big scene of chasing down [0xT1P]! Was he not there today?"

"Why isn't Hirako focusing on coding? What philosophical questions are you pondering?"

"I think it's a ghost story."

"Wait a minute, what's the point of coding? Hirako, hurry up and update us on the whereabouts of the master [0xT1P]!"

They're all useless comments.

But someone below said:
"Isn't this just the garbage collection mechanism in memory management? Forgetting means losing a reference. If an object loses a reference from the main program and becomes unrelated to the main program, it becomes a dangling object. Dangling objects will be treated as garbage and cleaned up by the memory cleanup mechanism, and the things associated with it will also be treated as garbage and gradually cleaned up, freeing up more memory."

Wow, that makes so much sense!
So this is how you can think about problems?
The expert's remarks immediately sparked heated discussions, and a group of people began to brainstorm, wondering what would happen if they were forgotten in the real world and disappeared, and whether the real world is a virtual program, and whether humans live in a virtual world. The topic immediately veered off course.

"If we lived inside a program, wouldn't we programmers be in high demand?"

"I'm currently looking for my own interface and trying to modify the values ​​for myself."

"The Matrix, huh!"

"I'm going to the window now to see if I can fly! Everyone wait for me to come back!"

"Where's upstairs? Are they back yet?"

Watching their discussion, Tang Yiping suddenly understood.

If being "forgotten" means losing "references," then the solution is to get more people to remember it!
I understand!
Let's make more people remember [Touchpoint Connect].

Tang Yiping immediately asked, "Does anyone remember a company called Touchpoint Connect?"

Unfortunately, no one answered him after that. Everyone started following the expert who answered him about "memory cleanup mechanisms" and speculating whether humans might be living inside a giant program.

Tang Yiping immediately started a new thread and asked the same question, but only one person answered him "I don't remember".

Then the post sank again.

People have no interest in Touchpoint Connect.

On the contrary, the post where he suddenly asked a question was pushed to the top and the discussion became increasingly heated.

Tang Yiping was speechless. I am the biggest obstacle to my own questions, right?
I'm the king of trending topics on the Xiantian Forum, right?
How can you guys have such wild imaginations?
Now how to do?
Why are you asking this question from your main account?
Let me explain this issue to everyone.
Then, Tang Yiping suddenly realized, damn it, he shouldn't have used a secondary account to ask the question. Now that he's logged into his main account and asked the same question, wouldn't that expose him?
What to do now?
How can we make this issue a hot topic?

The problem is that Touchpoint Connect is a company based in Linghai City, while the forum participants come from all over the country, so they don't really "remember" Touchpoint Connect.

Because most people probably don't know about it and have no connection to it.

How can we connect with everyone, and with more people, through Touchpoint Connect?

Should I write a popular science post about Touchpoint Connect, explaining its history and background, and introducing everyone to this company with passion and vision, as well as its philosophy?
Ugh! I can't write any popular science posts, I always get low scores on my essays!

I'm a programmer, all I can do is write some code, and my code is terrible.

Moreover, just giving a brief introduction doesn't really constitute a "connection"!

Is this method enough to combat forgetting?

Wait, I'm a programmer?!

Yes, I am a programmer!

An idea exploded in Tang Yiping's mind, and then he turned around, pulled out his notebook from his backpack, and placed it on his lap.

After an unknown amount of time, the elevator doors opened on the 42nd floor, and Li Tieqiang, Gao Ming, Shen Hong, and others stepped out.

They stared at Tang Yiping with utter bewilderment.

To their utter surprise, Tang Yiping returned after going around in circles.

Moreover, they were so anxious and disoriented from searching for Tang Yiping.

This guy... is actually writing something?
Moreover, he wrote so carefully that he didn't even see them come in.

"What...is he writing?" Gao Ming asked in a low voice.

“Let’s… write some code,” Li Tieqiang said.

"Pfft... He can even write code?" Gao Ming laughed.

I didn't expect this Tang student to know so many things!
