Chapter 34

To the book friend in the comment section who is defending the doctor, I want to say that while I can't say all doctors are unscrupulous money-grubbers who disregard medical ethics, you also can't deny that such people do exist.

And the one I encountered this time is exactly that kind of person. So, we are both right; it's just that human nature is flawed.

...

Feeling a bit disappointed that he couldn't trick Tony Stark again, Liu Ruian couldn't help but admit that the large party Tony arranged for the evening was quite impressive.

Especially since, although there were indeed quite a few people at the party, the only males present were himself and Tony Stark. Hehe... the enjoyment was absolutely not comparable to something like the Hainan Sky Feast.

Fortunately, Liu Ruian was no longer the same as before; otherwise, under the waves of top-notch beauties' "attacks," he would have been defeated in no time. But now, he managed to take on eighteen different beauties in one night, leaving Tony Stark, who had intended to outdo him, quite speechless.

After enjoying the热情 and "meticulous" service of the many top-notch girls, Liu Ruian didn't dare to neglect his grand plan of crossing over.

Although the world he was about to enter posed no danger to him, considering the time limit for crossing over and some other plans, he still made thorough preparations.

...

Getting off his beloved motorcycle, Sam Flynn looked at the Flynn's Arcade that often appeared in his memories but had been absent for a long time.

Various scenes he thought he had forgotten involuntarily surfaced in his mind, and he felt a mix of emotions.

Walking into the long-abandoned arcade, Sam Flynn spent some time savoring the memories and feelings, then his attention was drawn to a game machine in the corner.

Presented by ENCOM, the Tron game. After uncovering the dust cover, Sam Flynn looked at the simple screen in silence for a while, then took a coin from his pocket and was about to insert it into the coin slot.

Just as the coin was about to touch the slot, Sam Flynn, the owner of the coin, felt a sudden darkness and subconsciously let go.

In the next moment, the coin, which should have fallen according to the laws of physics, strangely悬浮 in front of the slot, as if an invisible hand was holding it in the air.

With the sound of footsteps, Liu Ruian, dressed in a well-fitted casual Tang suit, slowly walked in from the entrance of the game center.

Walking to the jukebox, Liu Ruian, with a thought, telekinetically moved the coin that was destined to be unused into his hand.

Looking at Sam Flynn, who was standing stiffly in front of the game machine with his back to him, Liu Ruian smiled and walked up, placing his right hand on the other's forehead.

In just a few minutes, when Liu Ruian opened his eyes and lowered his hand, Sam Flynn, who had been standing stiffly in front of the game machine, slowly regained consciousness.

"Liu, why did you take so long to get here? I've been waiting for you for a while," Sam Flynn said, showing no surprise at having lost consciousness, but rather speaking familiarly.

"Please, I dropped everything and rushed here as soon as I got your call," Liu Ruian, who had just implanted a false memory in the other, said with a shrug.

"How about a game?" Sam Flynn said, pointing to the outdated game machine in front of him and smiling.

"Maybe another time. But I think you should look at the floor," Liu Ruian, who had no interest in the game, pointed to the floor in front of the game machine and said.

"The floor?" With a puzzled look, Sam Flynn looked down and found some marks on the floor where heavy objects had moved.

"What is this?" After confirming his discovery by squatting down, Sam Flynn quickly pushed the game machine aside, revealing a hidden door behind it.

"What is this place?" Sam Flynn asked, looking at the hidden door.

"I don't know, but I believe it has something to do with your father," Liu Ruian, acting as a good friend, shook his head and explained.

Under the influence of the false memory and mind control, Sam Flynn did not doubt the truth of these words.

Eagerly, he led his close friend, who had once saved his life and served as a mentor, into the hidden door.

Under Liu Ruian's deliberate guidance, Sam Flynn quickly found the secret room where his father, Kevin Flynn, had perfected the digital world.

"Wow, there's actually such a place," Sam Flynn said excitedly, holding a flashlight and looking around the secret room.

"Don't waste time, see if this place has anything to do with your father's disappearance."

Liu Ruian, who had already scanned the entire structure of the secret room, urged the other to get to work while admitting that the world of "Tron: Legacy" was indeed interesting.

Although this world didn't have any artificial intelligence, the fully virtual digital world was enough to prove its value.

Especially the genetic algorithm and quantum mind transfer used to create the digital world and the digital life within it, which Liu Ruian considered even more important than the artificial intelligence technology he had previously obtained.

Not to mention the technology that could quantumize and digitize real people and also materialize digital life, which, whether in research or application, had immeasurable value.

Under Liu Ruian's subtle guidance, Sam Flynn soon sat down at the dusty control platform.

Following the original plot, Sam Flynn quickly gained the necessary permissions through a backdoor in the system.

"Laser beam confirmation? What's going on?" Sam Flynn said, puzzled, looking at the prompt on the control panel screen.

"Who should I ask? Trust your instincts and just do it," Liu Ruian, leaning against the side, continued to guide him.

"Liu, you know me best."

Sam Flynn smiled, then lightly tapped the confirmation button with his right pinky.

Almost as soon as the button was pressed, Liu Ruian, standing at a safe distance, instantly felt a huge energy fluctuation.

Then, Sam Flynn, sitting at the control panel, disappeared from Liu Ruian's sight.

"Very impressive technology, it was indeed worth the trip."

After confirming that he wasn't hallucinating, as Liu Ruian's praise echoed, the previously quiet secret room quickly became lively.

With the appearance of numerous intelligent robots, the entire secret room was quickly cleared out.

"Activate the Starling's avatar and see if you can gain the highest control of the digital world through infiltration."

Following Liu Ruian's command, a portable terminal, about half the size of an adult, with a sci-fi look, was quickly activated.

Through a data cable connection, the infiltration of the digital world began smoothly.

As time passed, the news from Starling's avatar was mixed.

The good news was that although the highest control of the digital world was not obtained, some functions were already under control.

The bad news was that the highest authority in the digital world was still in the hands of its creator, Kevin Flynn. Without his identity disc, it would take a considerable amount of time to gain control of the place without damaging the digital world, even with the technology Liu Ruian currently possessed.

Liu Ruian was not surprised by this result.

Although Sam Flynn, the protagonist, once said in the original plot that CLU, no matter how powerful, was just in the digital world and could be deleted with a single button in the real world, if it were that simple, Kevin Flynn wouldn't have been trapped in the digital world for so long.

After all, CLU, who only had a secondary control panel, could send a message to lure the protagonist. How could Kevin Flynn, who had the main control panel, not be able to do the same?

Even if he couldn't do it the same way, he could have thought of other methods, but Kevin Flynn didn't.

"Monitor the target closely, provide assistance at any time, and help him meet Kevin Flynn as much as possible."

Following the new command, Starling's avatar quickly used the permissions it had to contact Sam Flynn, who had entered the digital world.

After entering the digital world, Sam Flynn's actions were not much different from the original plot.

First, he was captured by patrollers because he didn't know the truth about the digital world. Then, he narrowly survived the disc wars but was discovered to be a user.

Unlike the original plot, Starling's avatar's infiltration quickly caught the attention of another controller in the digital world, CLU.

Because of this, Sam Flynn's experience in the digital world became more dangerous.

Fortunately, Starling's avatar's timely contact prevented Sam Flynn from facing any life-threatening situations in the subsequent speeder bike race.

Well, Liu Ruian had to admit that although Sam Flynn was rebellious, his motorcycle skills were indeed good.

Even without Starling's avatar's help, he performed quite well and might have had a chance to turn the tables if CLU hadn't cheated.

Since the time flow in the digital world and the real world was different, a few minutes in the real world equated to several hours in the digital world.

Liu Ruian didn't have to wait long before Sam Flynn, who had been "struggling" in the digital world, finally met his long-lost father.

"Send a message to CLU, telling him I can help him get Kevin Flynn's identity disc, but I need a corresponding price."

After confirming his "friend" Sam Flynn's situation through Starling, Liu Ruian suddenly issued a new command.

"Master, CLU asks what price you want," Starling's avatar quickly brought back the message.

"I want Quorra, the last ISO, and power and wealth," Liu Ruian, floating cross-legged about half a foot off the ground, said with a smile.
