[In today's society, cancer is no longer a terminal illness that requires certain death. With cutting-edge medical technology and a professional medical team, as long as you have insurance coverage, the support of your family, or your own ...]
Chen Pingan turned off the TV and let out a bitter smile, "But I have nothing."
The notice of death was delivered on the same day, his girlfriend left the day before, and he himself collapsed only today.
As a freshman just entering the university campus, Chen Pingan's parents, two forest rangers, were killed in a forest fire a few years ago, and even their bones were turned into ashes, leaving only a limited amount of compensation.
Over the years, Chen Ping'an has gotten over the pain of losing his parents and has chosen to face life with optimism. With the compensation money, he was able to scrimp and save, and with his after-school job, he was able to finish college.
His grades were good enough to get him into a first class college, and it was rumored that he would be offered a job after graduation. Although the salary may be meager, at least he can make ends meet. However, the day before yesterday, he went to the doctor for a chronic pain in his ankle and was found to have mid-stage cancer.
Knowing that he can't afford the treatment, Chen Pingan simply moved out of the school and rented a one-year house near the city's Wetland Park, where he intends to spend the rest of his life. As for the dilemma after the rent expired?
He smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling that he would not live to see that time.
Opening his cell phone to check his account balance, there are still more than 30,000 yuan left.
"With a maximum of six hundred per month for food, plus other expenses calculated at one thousand, there will still be at least twenty thousand left after a year." Chen Pingan stared at the numbers and fell into deep thought, these years had been too hard, while other students traveled around, indulged in games, and talked about love, he was working non-stop, and even his girlfriend's betrayal was unaware of it.
In the future, he intends to live for himself.
Playing games, catching up on dramas, and if his body allows it, he also wants to go to the sea.
[Installation complete]
[Come and get your exclusive e-girlfriend!]
On weekdays, when he encountered such advertisements, Chen Pingan had always simply ignored them. But today, his finger paused in front of the screen.
An additional APP icon appeared on the main interface, with a Q version of an ancient style girl in green clothes and a sword.
"An automatically installed game? It can't be a virus ..."
In the past will directly uninstall and scan the phone, but today he wants to explore this "virus software" in the end what is the mystery.
Anyway, there is no way back, barefoot not afraid to wear shoes.
Click on the APP, the screen turns black and pops up a prompt box:
This game is limited to users over 18 years of age, after the opening of the real identity will be bound, the account can not be destroyed or transferred, enter the game that is regarded as agreeing to all the terms and conditions.
"Yoho, still know that this is the overbearing clause?" Chen Pingan snorted, still clicking start.
At this point, he was certain that this was virus software.
What exactly was the other party trying to do? Steal identity information? Or communication records? If he knew that he was the unlucky one who had cancer and was shy, would the developer choose to actively delete it?
Please choose your electronic girlfriend!
The game's interface is surprisingly polished.
Although it is a Q version of the icon, it is extremely realistic after entering the game. More than a dozen "electronic girlfriends" are arranged in front of you, with detailed information. The current display is:
[Neon gangster's daughter: Kirishima Kinko]
[Age: 22 Height: 158 Circumference: 89, 55, 86]
From the Live2D model, this character has a curvaceous front and back, and her kimono can't hide her exquisite figure. With her sweet face and gangster background, this kind of contrasting lolita is surely the favorite of many people. Unfortunately, she was blonde and from Neon, so Pingan Chen was not interested.
After browsing through the other characters, he found that these avatars spanned different time and space, and there were even intergalactic mech warriors. Eventually, his gaze rested on a young girl in green.
[Female Disciple of Qing Yun Sect: Fang Qing Zhi]
[Age: 19 Height: 169 Circumference: 90, 60, 91]
This was the Q prototype of the app icon, now in three dimensions: skin like gelatinous fat, eyebrows clear, black hair and green shirt, sword floating. The most mesmerizing is that pair of eyes, cold and numb with a broken hollow, seems to penetrate the screen.
"Hiss--! How could a small workshop put down such blood money?"
He began to wonder if this was really a virus. With such a well-made virus, should the developer go to graduate school or a doctorate?
"You're it."
[Confirm choosing 'Fang Qingchi' as your e-girlfriend?]
[Attention! The choice cannot be changed!
If your e-girlfriend dies, she'll disappear permanently and can't be resurrected!
"So serious?" Pingan Chen frowned, realizing that this was exactly what the developer intended.
He could almost foresee the game's kryptonite routine. But today, he resolutely clicked OK.
[Your remaining lifespan: 132 days]
The message flashed and the screen unfolded.
Chen Pingan had expected the stereotypical flow of an inferior Immortal Cultivation handheld game: wild novice village, one-button pathfinding, equipping mounts, yet before his eyes was:
In the thatched hut with four permeable walls, the only straw mattress that could be considered a bed had been soaked through with rainwater.
In the corner, a young girl in tattered clothes was curled up in a ball. Long disheveled hair covered her face, and her naked limbs were crisscrossed with bruises and purple, centipede-like wounds standing out on her fair skin.
"This is Fang Qingzhi?" Chen Pingan was filled with doubts.
He noticed the broken sword next to the grass mat, the very same sword that he wore in the character page.
[Fang Qingzhi's weakness has increased due to starvation and cold]
[Fang Qingzhi is attacked by fire poison, the pain is unbearable]
[Fang Qingzhi's remaining lifespan: half an hour.]
The moment the three prompts popped up, the girl let out a muffled grunt of pain.
She raised her head slightly, and her hollow eyes and pale lips were reflected in her eyes.
"This ..." Even if he only saw half of her face, Chen Pingan confirmed that this was the character he had chosen.
"What to do?"
A sense of urgency arose. The character's demeanor, voice, and even the details of her wounds were all too realistic, causing him to instinctively believe that if he did not take action, the virtual girl would really perish after the countdown ended.
At this moment, a prompt popped up:
[Ding! The first charge of 6 yuan is a limited time gift of house decoration gift pack, to create a cozy home for your electronic girlfriend!]
