The world enters the age of myth

"That's awesome, Xiao Lu, have you started your own business now?" the roommate said in the group chat, "Facial recognition is still very promising. How much can you earn in a year?"

Lu Yiming laughed and said nonsense: "I'm just a collaborator. I only hold a small share of the stock. I just write some database content... It's only a few hundred thousand a year, which is not much."

The other party asked again: "Where should I open a company?"

"In Yunhai City, you can come and take a look when you have time. This project has just been established. If you are proficient in computers, you can also cooperate."

"Yunhai City, it's too far away. The rent there should be very expensive, right?"

"We have raised a venture capital investment for a small company with only a few people, so the overall expenditure is not bad. In addition, it is a government cooperation project, and Party A's credibility can still be guaranteed. There is already an advance payment, which will last for a while. Time is no problem..."

"I heard that the government's money is not easy to earn. They ask for a lot. In the past, there was some gray income, but now it seems that it is not so easy..."

The two of them chatted in the group chat.

Lu Yiming sighed in his heart. When he was in college, this roommate was known as the "brother who brings food" and he was a good friend to talk to. When the rest of them couldn't stop playing games, they asked the rice cook to go to the cafeteria to bring food.

At that time, all the chat content was basically about games, school gossip, or the opposite sex. A certain senior had a good figure; a certain girl had a boyfriend every now and then.

There are all kinds of things, and basically this is the chat content in the boys’ dormitory.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, everyone had only been in society for a year, and the content of their chats had completely changed. Many people have become more practical and begun to focus on their own future and how much money they can earn in the future, but they don’t talk much about entertainment...

This is what changes...

A somewhat indescribable change.

After chatting like this for a while, Lu Yiming continued to type: "Please help me, please help me test whether this software can be used. Scan these QR codes and then use facial recognition! Don't worry, everything connected is The government database is definitely not my personal mess, didn’t you see there is a .gov at the back?”

The relevant software has naturally been developed a long time ago. There are countless geniuses in the research institute. Under the threat of world-destroying disaster, they used all their strength to create an almost perfect software.

After typing this line of text, Lu Yiming thought to himself: As long as you do as I am told and do a small favor, it is equivalent to being willing to help me, and you will save your own life.

If you are unwilling to do such a small thing and give up this opportunity, don't blame me.

"The chance of selection is five out of one thousand, you can gamble for yourselves... maybe there won't even be a single survivor in the entire grade..."

After waiting for about half an hour, only the roommate who spoke to me, "Brother with Rice", registered his information.

"Your software is very easy to use. It actually recognized me directly!"

"Haha, it's not really a high-end product. Every hotel has this kind of facial recognition device."

At this moment, a few lines of gray text suddenly appeared at the bottom of the group chat.

[Zhao Yunyun quit the group chat. 】

[Xue Wenxuan quit the group chat. 】

When Lu Yiming saw these lines of information, he felt a little uncomfortable. The two girls who were pulled in left directly without registering information.

But he was quickly relieved, because the relationship between people is like this. Just because they used to play together doesn't mean they are familiar with each other now. Whether to help or not is just a matter of thought.

"It's only been a year."

Thinking of this, he sighed again. There was another roommate who didn't talk or register information, and didn't respond at all.

"Most likely you saw it and didn't pay attention to it... Then I'm sorry."

Lu Yiming withdrew the remaining three QR codes, and then began to send messages one after another to the familiar people he met on his messaging software, all using the same set of rhetoric.

As long as someone is willing to register their identity information, it is equivalent to sending the ticket directly. If they do not reply at all or do not register, it is equivalent to giving up this precious opportunity.

It's hard, really hard!

It was so difficult to give away a boat ticket. This was something Lu Yiming had never imagined before...

“Everyone, please help, it only takes a few seconds!”

"It's a small program I developed, please help me! Just facial recognition..."

Very few people helped.

Lu Yiming could understand this mentality. If a classmate with whom he had only a casual acquaintance suddenly asked for help, he didn't know whether he would help.

But this time he chose people with whom he had been relatively friendly.

"If it's just a facial scan, it might help, but it might just ignore it... If you have to enter sensitive information like your ID card, it probably won't help."

"Why……"

But this software really just scans the face, and then a message pops up for confirmation. This is to keep the secret better and no more information will be displayed after it is done.

It looks like an ordinary software.

Of course, as long as the files are included, these lists will be the first priority for invitations to come on board.

The main reason is that QR codes are extremely rare and cannot be obtained by ordinary people.

In the end, there were not many people willing to help. There was only one "meal brother" from the university. Yes, there was only one person! Lu Yiming couldn't help but laugh at his own naivety. You think you have good intentions, but others think this person has ulterior motives.

"Forget it, let's give the decision-making power to my parents. Relatives are more reliable than friends."

He could only ask his parents to help him find a way to distribute the boat tickets to his parents' distant relatives or his parents' best friends. His parents' social circle was much wider than his own.

These distant relatives have contact with their parents, and they meet during Chinese New Year and festivals. However, Lu Yiming doesn't like interpersonal communication, and he basically doesn't attend weddings, birthdays, etc. Give them a chance to survive, and their parents may be happier afterwards, which can be considered a relatively good choice.

Sometimes, blood relationships are the most stable. If you use the same method to test, you will find that the probability of relatives helping is much higher.

"It's so fucking difficult." Lu Yiming cursed in his heart and collapsed on the bed.

But after finishing this matter, it felt like a big stone fell to the ground, and I felt relieved all of a sudden.

And the whole process is without any psychological burden.

"Hey, that's it, I wish you good luck! I've done what I can do... I can only leave it to fate as to what happens next. I hope we can all be well, and I hope this gift will never be used... …”

After looking at the time, it happened to be 9 o'clock in the evening, and took out another book "Mechanical Design and Manufacturing".

There are many improvements to his superpowers. For example, after being possessed by his mind, he can open a metal lock. The structure of the lock is relatively complicated and requires a certain degree of understanding of machinery. Brutal force alone will not suffice. Only with more knowledge can we use our superpowers in more places.

To be honest, Lu Yiming is not a person who loves learning, but at this moment, he can only bite the bullet, calm down and let himself watch for more than an hour.

After this stage was over, he lay on the bed and trained his superpowers for a while.

A sharp knife levitated from the table and flew rapidly in the sky. Under the influence of superpowers, the knife continued to accelerate, and finally formed a rapid phantom.

Suddenly, with a bang, it hit the wall and fell to the ground.

This is an attack method he came up with after his super power increased.
