I participated in the development of EVA

"Realistic service?"

"Ordering food, delivering food, cleaning rooms, handling household waste, security, equipment maintenance... In short, it's this kind of work." After a pause, Makise Kurisu added, "In fact, these jobs can be completed by producing related mechanical equipment. Unfortunately... in order to ensure that these people who are out of touch with the times can live a normal life in reality, local officials have banned the intelligentization of this aspect."

"It's not a pity. The advancement of science and technology is to serve mankind."

“But the promotion of such intelligence will be delayed.”

Ikari Fumihiko asked back.

“Do you think it’s easy to create smart devices to replace these people now?”

"It's very simple."

"Since it is so simple and easy to do, it means that this is no longer a technological issue, but a business issue."

"Oh."

Although Makise Kurisu only responded calmly, her face was full of admiration.

Although the main business of Dreamland Hotel is built around the huge group of game players, this does not mean that reality lacks various entertainment projects.

Those who choose to live in reality also have needs.

Where there is demand, there will naturally be corresponding supply.

20:19:52

653. You still know how to play

"Anywhere you want to go?"

"This is my first time here too. I saw all those things online before."

Although Fumihiko Ikari does not have much experience in dating, he knows that at this time, he should take the initiative to make decisions.

I took out my phone and looked up some travel guides online.

Refusing virtual games and choosing to stay in reality does not mean that these people are all living fossils who do not touch the Internet. They are less dependent on the Internet, but they will also use it.

There are no fewer Internet services than in the previous life, and they are all produced by giant companies.

That is his company.

There are many entertainment options in reality. When making a choice, he thought of the time when he went to the water park with Ikari Yui and others.

"Then let's go to the water park."

Makise Kurisu's face, which had just recovered a little, turned red again.

Apparently, he thought that Fumihiko Ikari chose the water park because he wanted to see himself in a swimsuit.

"I...I didn't bring a swimsuit..."

"It's okay, go buy it over there."

Makise Kurisu responded in a weak and mosquito-like voice.

"Um……"

The two came to the water park.

Unlike the time when Seele was responding to the charitable donations organized by the Japanese government, the facilities here are complete, it is very lively, and most of the people are young people.

Makise Kurisu explained.

"Nowadays, many young people are influenced by the 'face-to-face' trend and refuse to play virtual games."

"Facing the tide of thought?"

"Well, some scholars have suggested that playing virtual games is an escape and abandoning the mission of our generation to rebuild our homeland after the Second Impact." Makise Kurisu said this with some anger, and she was obviously putting herself on the side of Ikari Fumihiko, wanting to expand the virtual games developed by Ikari Fumihiko to all mankind.

Ikari Fumihiko thought about it for a moment.

I think this should be a concept that Seele came up with to weaken the power of artificial gods! ?

But then he realized that not everything in this world is related to the apostles.

The original work revolves around the apostles, and reality is not so narrow, so it is not surprising that such thoughts appear.

Next, when it came to choosing swimsuits, Ikari Fumihiko gave his opinion, and Makise Kurisu kept making the gesture of crossing her hands in shy refusal, because the swimsuits chosen by Ikari Fumihiko were too bold for Makise Kurisu, who was still a college student.

In the end, Fumihiko Ikari gave in and chose a more conservative swimsuit.

When playing various water activities, there is always physical contact, which should have built up enough emotions.

however……

Fumihiko Ikari always thinks of Naoko Akagi, and the passion that should be rising in his heart cannot burn up, but instead makes his mood become increasingly heavy.

At this moment he understood.

Why in the original novel Misato Katsuragi always drinks after get off work.

Being too clear-headed is sometimes not a good thing.

Makise Kurisu noticed the distress in Ikari Fumihiko's heart and thought it was because she did not listen to advice and chose those embarrassing swimsuits.

So she plucked up her courage, put her face close to Ikari Fumihiko's ear and whispered something.

"There are too many people here. I'll buy it back later and I'll...I'll wear it at home for you alone..."

This time, Fumihiko Ikari almost couldn't bear it.

"Ah."

Not long after the two of them had been playing in the water park, Fumihiko Ikari received a phone call.

It was Rei Ayanami calling from the outside world.

【I'm back. 】

【Well, welcome back. 】

【Someone asked me to advise you. 】

Fumihiko Ikari was not surprised that NERV would start with Rei Ayanami.

After all, there are hundreds of millions of people in virtual games nowadays, and the job vacancies caused by these people are all taken over by the Three Sages system. He has now shut down all Three Sages services except virtual games, which is enough to cause problems in the operation of some cities. Nerv cannot remain indifferent to this.

Of course this is only a secondary reason.

If you want to correct it with the energy of nerv, it can be corrected.

But the fact that the apostles that appeared this time were weak does not mean that the overall strength of the apostles is so weak. After all, the wreckage of cities destroyed by the second impact can still be seen everywhere on the earth. They cannot let down their guard against the apostles so quickly. Therefore, the Three Sages system needs to prepare more trump cards to deal with emergencies, and the suspension of the Three Sages has also affected the second-generation machine plan and the space elevator plan.

Simply put, the sudden halt of technology from its explosive state is the thing they cannot accept the most.

The stagnation of technology will affect the war between humans and apostles on a macro level, and will hinder the research on immortality surgery on a micro level, hindering their ability to live longer and their chances of survival.

What did they say to you?

[It said that Naoko Akagi injected her soul into EVA, and now you are in a state of depression. It also said that many people around the world are waiting for the Three Sages System to perform surgery and treat diseases.]

[Don't worry about this. If you are bored, come find me in your dreams.]

【Um. 】

After hanging up the phone with Rei Ayanami, Fumihiko Ikari hesitated for a moment. Although he knew that NERV was testing him and wanted to use this opportunity to break down his defenses bit by bit, if he compromised this time, there would soon be a next time when they would use the justice of the world or the lives of others to make him compromise again, but he still compromised.

He took out his cell phone and unlocked the medical services.

Even though he hated nerv, he still didn't want to involve innocent lives.

With too many worries, Fumihiko Ikari no longer had the mood to continue playing.

"Let's go back."

However, Makise Kurisu misunderstood and thought that Ikari Fumihiko was in a hurry to go back and see her wearing those embarrassing swimsuits.

Therefore, the voice was still so weak that it was difficult to hear clearly.

After the two changed their clothes and were about to leave the water park, Makise Kurisu noticed that Ikari Fumihiko was empty-handed. She thought that Ikari Fumihiko was too anxious, and his mind was full of thoughts of putting on those embarrassing swimsuits as soon as possible, so he forgot to buy the swimsuits. So she hesitated for a moment and reminded him in a low voice.

“I haven’t bought it yet…”

Ikari Fumihiko didn't know what Makise Kurisu was thinking, so he asked back subconsciously.

"Didn't buy anything?"

Makise Kurisu shyly chopped peppers.

"Fool!"

The word "idiot" was referring to Ikari Fumihiko, and also to myself who actively cooperated with Ikari Fumihiko.

Although she was annoyed, she spoke again.

"It's a swimsuit."

Only then did Ikari Fumihiko remember what Makise Kurisu had said in his ear before.

Thinking that this could stimulate Naoko Akagi, he decided to give it a try.

"I almost forgot, wait for me..."

"Um……"

After Ikari Fumihiko left, Makise Kurisu realized that Ikari Fumihiko might not know her own size, so she hesitated for a moment and followed him.

"Why did you follow me here?"

"Fool……"

Makise Kurisu kept her head down with a shy face as she cooperated in choosing a swimsuit.

20:20:09

654. Role playing?

After returning home and eating the dinner prepared by Makise Kurisu, Ikari Fumihiko was a little surprised.

All the food on the table was his favorite, and the flavors were all suitable for him.

He opened the background program to confirm and verified what he had thought. He did not enter this information into Makise Kurisu's settings.

How did Makise Kurisu know all this?

This is the dream formed by the brains of the three wise men of the Type 02 prototype, so there is only one answer...

It was Naoko Akagi who provided these.

Thinking of this, he also noticed some other strange things.

This Makise Kurisu has many shadows of Akagi Naoko, including her walking posture and some small habits.

Current situation……

Are the three sages' brains influenced by Naoko Akagi and serving themselves?

Or is the soul in Makise Kurisu's body Naoko Akagi?

wrong……

I got the logic wrong.

Logically speaking, all the people in this dream are products of the three sages' brains, and from a certain perspective they are all Naoko Akagi.

His authority here cannot be higher than that of Naoko Akagi.

That is to say...

Whatever Naoko Akagi doesn't want to happen will not happen here.

His mind was a little confused at this moment.

What is the current situation? Does Naoko want me to cheat on her? Or does Naoko pretend to be the person I like to satisfy me?

"what happened?"

In response to Makise Kurisu's concern, Ikari Fumihiko responded subconsciously.

"I was thinking about something about you."

Makise Kurisu misunderstood the meaning.
