In 2071, as I observed, the different structures of power in the human race began to disintegrate and disappear. Eloi and Moloch not only controlled the majority of the economic trade, but also controlled the freedom of human consciousness. I can't say they were wrong, and I have to thank the business for my survival.

In my opinion, Eloi and Moloch walked two completely different paths: the former tried to turn humans into a bunch of virtual signals, and it created an endless virtual empire; the latter tried to turn a bunch of virtual signals into humans, and it created countless — Of course, right now, the Bionic Human doesn't seem to have any self-awareness.

Preface: Access Visitor's Perspective

You are not Tomoko's hardcore fan – perhaps, more importantly, you are just a middle-class person who cannot afford to pay a high VIP fee – thus, you can only sit in the middle of the theater without moving. But in your heart, you think that you are still better than those people who are sitting by the side of the theater. They can't even see Miss Tomoko's face clearly! That being said, you're still envious of the live broadcaster in front of you, who's blocking your view from time to time. He would occasionally look back at you with a smile that wasn't a smile. You know that this is just a provocation, wanting you to lose your reason for a moment and hand over the hard-earned money to Moloch Company.

However, it was clear that his actions had already caught your attention, because he had even jumped up onto the stage and moved his face closer to Miss Tomoko! What right do you have to do this! " You are filled with indignation, as if you were about to stand up and chase that frivolous person away. But your escort, the live broadcaster sitting in the middle of the theater, doesn't move at all. Apparently he knows what he's paid for. " This is a privilege, an impressive death. " At the same time, you know how many VIP members have already come into contact with the Miss Tomoko from a distance. You even thought that you are not much better than those people who can't even see the face of the Miss Tomoko, the price to performance ratio of this position is too low!

You could only endure under the harassment of Tomoko by the VIP broadcast, he had already watched Miss Tomoko from left to right, from top to bottom, but of course, the Miss Tomoko did not care about that, she was only singing a song with her perfect voice. It was her duty and, according to her, her gift. She loved these passionate lyrics, these melodious melodies. Therefore, from this perspective, close proximity with the Miss Tomoko — even if one could see every single hair on her face — was meaningless. Music is for appreciation, not for observation.

However, the audience on stage immediately grabbed Tomoko's hand, and started dancing with her, as if they were immersed in music. "He actually took her hand!" Once again, you were filled with righteous indignation, your chest seemed to be ignited with anger, but your live broadcaster was still seated at the center of the stage, watching the performance of the two without moving an inch: VIP live broadcaster had even wrapped his arms around Tomoko's waist! That soft, feather-like waist! He nearly kissed Miss Tomoko on the cheek! You try to close your eyes, but the black sunglasses worn by your live broadcaster aren't turned off. You either watch the show or switch channels. Clearly, you have caught a glimpse of a number of other shows in the upper left corner, their frames flashing with golden light as they try to squeeze through the edges of your field of vision.

Forget it! The other programs do not have Tomoko either, they would only need to pay a month's salary to get close to her, the next time you can definitely hold her jade hand! You think this way, but still feel that it's not worth it. After all, it would take a month of expenditure to experience this short moment. You may be thinking about it, but there are a lot of shells floating on the right side of the horizon. Of course, only members of the VIP community can express their opinions on the precious field of view. They were just praising how beautiful and gentle Tomoko was, mixed with their own experiences, saying that holding Miss Tomoko's hand was really great! It was even more exquisite and gentle than his own woman's hand. You're full of disdain in your heart, thinking these guys are actually treating Tomoko as a real person?

However, in the "dream", you unconsciously licked your lips, yes, even though Tomoko was just a simulator, she was too 'lecherous'! Not only did she have a peerless beauty, but what was even more commendable was that she seemed to possess the most moving virtue of all females: gentleness, gentleness, wisdom, gentleness … She was simply a goddess in the dreams of countless people. Therefore, who would care that she wasn't human! You don't care at all. You are just jealous, jealous of those people who can get close to Tomoko on the stage. Now, your desire to pay is even stronger.

Tomoko sang one song after another, and the VIP Live Broadcaster also danced one song after another along with Tomoko. But you still haven't gotten tired of it. You think how great it would be if you could enter the field of "live broadcasters", just like the one on the stage, where you could get close to Miss Tomoko without paying for it. As you were thinking, a notification box suddenly popped up in front of you: "Less than five minutes from the end of the program. Please pay." Although this seat is very comfortable, you can only watch Tomoko and the rich man together. It's better to sit in the back row with the ordinary people and close your eyes and simply listen to the song.

At this time, a box on the upper left side of the field of vision began to shine intensely. You paid attention to that spot, and then it jumped to the center of the field of vision — — It was a live broadcast program of Eloi Company. You never had any interest in it, even though you thought that it had used pretty good props, it was still lacking in props, especially when there was no such outstanding actor as Tomoko. What does the matters of mortals have to do with you? You take a quick look at the content, and the tip says that this is a story about a mother and daughter, and it's very tearful. You smiled contemptuously: "It's all for the program's content, who knows if it's true or not." But you still want to know what's going on, so you pop the box into the center.

The program's broadcasters were all of different grades. The reason was that this program had just come online, so it could not attract a large number of audience members. Naturally, there was no payment mechanism. Now, through the dark glasses of the live stream, you can see a pretty cute girl standing in front of you, rummaging through the cabinets. The live broadcast asked, "What are you looking for?" The cute girl said, "This is my mother's room, so there are these old-fashioned cabinets. I say, can you take off your strange glasses. " No. The audience looked through my glasses. If I took them off, the Access Rate would become zero. "So, what are you looking for?"

You're terribly bored. Although this little girl looked very cute at first glance, her voice was very unpleasant to listen to, and could not be compared at all with the Miss Tomoko's. You don't care what she's looking for, or what's touching between mother and daughter. After five minutes, you might just close your "daydream" and wake up. After all, if you can't see Tomoko's face, what's so good about this program!

Then suddenly, from the right, the VIP barrage comes again, and you get annoyed, wondering what else they've said to you. But — "God! "Who is this person!" "It suddenly appeared in his hand …" "In my hand, is that a handgun?" "Is that for real?" "They have arrived on stage." "Who is she?" "She knocked me down. Oh, no, she knocked me out." It was so painful! "Pay up!" Can it be disconnected? "His hand is about to break." "What does she want to do?" Ah, Miss Tomoko! " Without hesitation, you bounce back the frame of the "Daydream Theatre," which chirps back to the left corner. Now, when you return your attention back to the stage, you saw that the VIP broadcaster was already lying on his back on the ground. Replacing him was a ferocious looking woman holding a gun and pointing it at Miss Tomoko's head.

However, maybe the Miss Tomoko did not have any reaction to this. She just looked at the girl calmly and stopped singing. "The woman grabbed Tomoko's shoulder, and then stuck the spear closely behind Tomoko's head. What exactly is she trying to do!? " You screamed in your heart, "Don't tell me she wants to kill..." Destroy the Miss Tomoko? " Why destroy a simulacrum, do you think? The Miss Tomoko has no enmity with anyone!

The VIP broadcaster was still lying on the ground, apparently untrained in this area. "Why can't I see Tomoko?", "Why can't I see the live broadcaster face the sky?", "I want to see the Miss Tomoko.", "What's wrong with the Miss Tomoko?". You feel ridiculous. Your broadcaster, on the other hand, has violated the rules. He leaned forward as if trying to figure out what had happened, and words even came out of his mouth, "You … Who is it? Why are you pointing your spear at Miss Tomoko? " The fiendish woman on the stage snorted, then said, "I …"

But in an instant, your view changed. The stage changed from being in front of you to a small dot in the distance, making it impossible to see the Miss Tomoko or hear what the woman was saying. Your live broadcaster has changed. You felt dizzy, but the program team immediately gave you a prompt: "This is a normal view. If you want to change your golden view, please pay!" Also has VIP perspective, not only can see more clearly, but also can zero distance contact Yo! Annual Payment Only... "
