Chapter 122: Cinema in the City of the Future

"So where is this Crown Garden?" Wang Xuanjun asked.

"The garden in front of the Tower of Babel where the mayor is located is also the only way to the Tower of Babel." Betty answered.

"Oh, Royal Garden." Chen Xingying summed it up in three simple words.

"If the invitation is one of the main goals, then what is likely to happen next?" Xiaoyu said with a serious face.

"It's very possible that this Crown Garden is a gathering between players." Chen Xingying confirmed.

That's right, maybe the mode from the beginning is to collect clues and finally go to the decisive battle site.

Chen Xingying feels that the android chip taken from the Salvation Society will be the key to victory or defeat.

"Then tomorrow morning if you get the fake androids, you can continue to join us and participate in this carnival together." The two teams confirmed to each other that the alliance is unbreakable.

"Then what should we do next?" Xiaopeng said, raising his head.

"You can't necessarily stay here for 12 hours, right? Or just log off?" Then he asked.

"Sister Betty, is there any fun place you can take us to in the upper city?" Xiao Chu pinned his hopes on Betty.

"Ah, if you go uptown, there are many places for entertainment, but we are not qualified to go." Betty returned directly.

"Why?" Wang Xuanjun asked.

"Because only people from uptown can go to these entertainment venues." Betty then replied.

"Oh, that means civilians are not qualified to enjoy themselves here. This is really irritating." Although Wang Xuanjun's expression didn't show how angry he was.

"Hehe, this is the first time that you, the son of the richest man, have been rejected due to identity issues." Xiaopeng teased Wang Xuanjun.

"Tch, come on, I'm too lazy to go to these high-class places. I also play in the real world." Wang Xuanjun returned in a non-gimmick tone.

Indeed, after all, this is a world that does not have such outrageous rules... To be precise, there are no restrictions in an entire area like this.

"Hmm... By the way, let me ask Kelly. Maybe she knows where it is."

Then Betty called Ms. Kelly.

"Oh, that's right. I didn't use any of the movie tickets distributed by the community last time. Just take some and go watch a movie. The cinema only checks the tickets and doesn't check your identity."

So Kelly sent all the ticket information to Betty.

"So let's go to the movies." Betty said.

"A movie? By the way, how do you watch a movie if you don't have this way?" Chen Xingying asked.

"Watching a movie puts you into a scene, and then the scene changes with the development of the story or the perspective of the protagonist."

Betty's understatement was enough to show that it was different from the movies they usually watched, at least not in the same form of expression.

"Isn't this a VR movie...or in other words, our Taoyuan system." Chen Xin whispered in Chen Xingying's ear.

"Yes, Taoyuan system is essentially a more advanced VR movie." Chen Xingying nodded in agreement.

Experience VR movies in the holographic (VR) world. What a strange experience it is... But at this point, I just have to go and take a look and pass the time.

However, Xiaopeng and the others can't drive out in their rented cars for the time being, even though there is no time limit for their team in Shangcheng District.

"Take a taxi, you have money anyway." Betty suggested.

I officially walked through this Jiangnan water town style street... I have to say that the restored flavor is quite strong, but compared to the real water town, the shops on both sides look a bit more upscale.

Chen Xingying looked at Chen Xin and thought to herself that it was a pity that she was wearing modern clothes. If she changed back to the clothes of Xianjian Jie, it would definitely feel right.

"What's wrong, Professor? You stared at me for a long time." Chen Xin said.

"Ah! It's nothing!" Chen Xingying withdrew her gaze. She didn't know when she started to stare at her without any taboo.

"By the way, why do you always call Chen Xingying brother Professor?" Betty finally asked this question on the third day of their relationship with Chen Xingying.

"I'll do this!" Xiao Chu explained the origin of this title to Betty using a very fast speaking speed.

"Oh, it turns out it's a bit like an honorific. But I always feel that it's not appropriate for you to call your little brother professor. He's obviously a child." Betty complained directly after hearing this.

"No matter what, I called you Master anyway." Xiao Chu seemed very proud.

But...the title of master and the name of professor are not the same thing...Chen Xingying secretly complained.

Under the leadership of Betty, everyone came to a floating platform in the air that was said to be used to call taxis. It looked similar to a parking space, except that there was an additional operating console.

"Let me see, there are still 7 of us now." Then enter the number of people on the laser screen and press to confirm.

Only a minute later, a taxi similar to the one Xiaopeng and the others rented arrived.

Everyone got in the car, which was very clean. There was a bottle of drinking water next to each seat, and there was a laser screen showing advertisements in front of it (this was the same as in the real world).

"Dear guests, hello! Taxi is at your service! Please tell me your destination." came the sharp voice of the driver. Needless to say, the taxi driver is a bionic man.

"Viking Street Cinema." Betty returned directly.

"Understanding our guests! Then please enjoy the flight I bring you." After the driver said this, he started the car smoothly.

"Viking Street...what a sentimental way of naming it." Chen Xingying mentioned.

"Well, all the streets in the upper city are named after the names of civilizations that existed in history. It should be the mayor's personal preference. And for people who are familiar with ancient history, it is easy to distinguish directions based on these names.

." Betty explained.

Indeed, according to the geographical distribution of these civilizations on the world map...for example, the Chinatown where they were just now is to the east of Uptown. This is really convenient.

After driving for about half an hour, the taxi took everyone to the destination.

"Your destination has been arrived safely. Please pay attention to the items you carry with you when you get off the bus. Remember to leave a positive comment!" After finishing the formulaic language, the taxi door opened automatically.

After paying the money, everyone got out of the car and saw the cinema in front of them. Although the appearance looked futuristic, it always felt that there was no big structural difference from the cinema in the real world.

"Bionic life, death and love." Chen Xin looked at the largest banner poster outside the cinema and read out the title of the movie.

"Oh, this is a recently released movie. It is said to be about sadomasochism between humans and androids. It is very controversial and has many positive and negative reviews." Betty explained.

"Then let's watch this." Chen Xingying is very interested in movies with such sensitive topics, so naturally she doesn't want to miss this future worldview.

The others didn't have any objections, after all, they didn't have any other ideas.

After using the movie tickets that Kelly gave, everyone came to the screening room. Surprisingly, the screening room was a relatively small room, and there were only ten seats in it. Apart from the seven of them, there were no other audience members.

"Is this a private cinema?" Wang Xuanjun complained.

"Private cinema?" Betty had never heard of this term before. "The cinemas in the uptown area all have private rooms like this. Isn't this the world of you VIPs?" Then she asked.

"Well, our cinema is a hall that can accommodate hundreds of people, and it has a large screen. Every time a big-budget movie premieres, it is always full of people." Xiaoyu stepped forward and answered her.

"Oh, isn't that a retro cinema? The ancient cinemas 300 years ago were in these forms. I saw them in the museum when I was a child and experienced them once." Betty suddenly realized.

"Although... holographic movies are indeed the mainstream in the future." Chen Xingying only muttered.

Ten minutes before the movie started, Betty, who was already sitting in her seat, suddenly jumped up:

"Oh, how could I forget this?"

As she spoke, she hurriedly walked out. Everyone looked at her in confusion.

But after a while she walked in again, holding four things similar to popcorn buckets in her hands. She also brought in a waiter by the way, holding the same thing in his hands.

"Come on, no one has a piece. How can we miss out on snacks when watching a movie? I'd like to help you pass them out!" Just like a primary school teacher, deliver every snack to everyone.

Chen Xingying took a look inside and saw that it was not popcorn or something similar to puffed food.

Xiao Chu couldn't wait to take one and put it in his mouth.

"Yeah, it's delicious!" Then he ate several more in succession.

Can just snacks be delicious? Chen Xingying was confused and took one and put it in her mouth... It was confirmed that this was also synthetic food, and the delicious flavors of other snacks were all gathered in this mouthful.

By the way, there are several types of drinks placed next to each seat, so the audience should be able to choose at will.

All the lights in the screening room were turned off and the movie started... At the same time, the originally dark space suddenly lit up. Cool lights shone with passionate accompaniment. It was as if they were suddenly transported to other places where they were sitting.

.

"Wow, the opening is so cool!" Xiaopeng exclaimed.

After a splendid performance, the screen appeared: Babel Film and Television Company presents.

"What...it turns out to be an animation from the producer of the opening scene." Everyone complained.

Then the movie officially started. First, the names of the producer and main actors were displayed around it, and then the plot began to unfold.

The process is actually no different from an ordinary movie, except that while the movie is playing, you can look around at will, and even stand up and walk closer to carefully observe tiny things.
