Chapter D012 – Dreamhouse

[Quantum Network: Cyberworld]

Ruri let her consciousness dive into the Quantum Community.

Wanting round, she realized the surroundings round her was just a little totally different from what she remembered. It was a ‘universe’ with numerous marbles with totally different sizes scattered in every single place.

From a distance, they appear like planets, however it solely takes one look to know that they don’t seem to be.

Moderately than planets, they give the impression of being extra like ornamental marbles. There was no gravitational power and these marbles didn’t transfer in any respect, they had been simply mounted of their place on Quantum Community.

There are options that solely Premium and Govt Capsule Pod have, specifically Connection Bookmark and Flash Join.

Connection Bookmark permits Capsule Pod customers to bookmark addresses they’ve visited beforehand, whereas Flash Join permits customers to rapidly linked into addresses they’ve bookmarked in Connection Bookmark.

Each time Ruri dives to a brand new deal with or an deal with that was not recorded within the Connection Bookmark, she should set up a connection to the vacation spot first, which is represented by a fractal hall. And since Flash Join could not be used, she needed to dive usually within the Quantum Community, whose pace wasn’t as quick as when utilizing it.

Thankfully, the pace of the Govt Capsule Pod’s “Prioritized SSL Quantum Connection” was very quick.

Utilizing this connection, the distinction between regular dive and Flash Join was not that a lot, with the previous was ~3 minutes whereas the latter was ~10 seconds. And because it was a “Prioritized” connection, she would not have to attend too lengthy within the queue to attach.

Beforehand, when Ruri did a traditional dive, there wasn’t any distinction within the hall in comparison with utilizing Flash Join aside from the connection pace. There was no surroundings or something like that within the hall. However now, this hall had change into barely clear and she or he might see the surroundings outdoors the hall.

Ruri can see numerous locations with totally different types inside the marbles, a few of which she acknowledges.

These marbles are VR-Areas and VR-Worlds that folks create and publish on Quantum Community. Their sizes are self-explanatory, proportional to the dimensions of the information area inside them. Small marbles are VR-Areas, whereas massive marbles are VR-Worlds.

‘Oh, that one appears to be Grand Fantasy On-line, and that one is Metropolix, and that one…’

And the massive marbles that Ruri noticed had been really VR-Worlds from VRMMO video games aside from Ascension.

She acknowledged them clearly as a result of she had performed briefly in these video games a while in the past. Though they’re additionally VRMMO video games, sadly their gadgets can’t be introduced into the actual world with Ruri’s particular potential, like she will be able to do in Ascension. To not point out, their immersion was not so good as Ascension.

‘So, that is Gaia’s breakthrough with their Quantum Community expertise.’

Gaia Company’s analysis and technological achievements in Digital Actuality are well-known in every single place.

It isn’t that Ruri was ignorant and did not know there was a ‘universe’ outdoors the SSL hall, however this ‘universe’ did not even exist earlier than and was solely created on the identical day because the earlier upkeep.

“Cyberworld…”

Ruri uttered the title of the undertaking that Gaia Company marketed on the Techno Truthful a number of years in the past.

The corporate was very formidable and apparently aimed to recreate the universe via digital actuality, which was the idea of the immersive VR that individuals are utilizing in the present day.

She did see information in regards to the undertaking’s breakthrough on the web the identical day after the upkeep, however at the moment, she did not really feel something and did not assume a lot of it.

“Certain sufficient, seeing it on the web and experiencing it for myself are two various things.”

However nonetheless, she would not understand how this improvement will have an effect on her life.

At present, the view of the universe merely made the hall fairly and that was all. Possibly one thing extra will occur sooner or later, though she would not comprehend it now.

Ruri did not keep too lengthy and continued to dive in direction of the Actual Property VR-House.

[Dreamhouse Real Estate VR-Space]

Ruri’s avatar appeared within the Switch Gate, expressionlessly trying in direction of the indoor corridor in entrance of her.

At present she was utilizing her pupil avatar, which triggered some curious glances from the individuals round her. She had already used from these glances and went straight to the feminine receptionist, who was clearly an AI.

“Welcome to Dreamhouse Actual Property, how could I make it easier to, expensive buyer?” (Receptionist)

“I deliberate to purchase a home, please give me the catalog.” (Ruri)

Thankfully, the AI did not differentiate between prospects primarily based on look, and she or he greeted Ruri politely.

However after all, the extent of this AI was much like that of a family assistant robotic, removed from the extent of Natives at Ascension. There was some rigidity in her habits, however on the similar time she was loyal and had no ideas aside from her work.

“I perceive, I’ll ahead the catalog to your holo-screen. By the way in which, expensive buyer, you can too use the Switch Gate there to dive into the digital copy of the home within the catalog. Do you want an data information? I can introduce every home’s data to you without cost.” (Receptionist)

“No, thanks. I need to have a look first earlier than deciding.” (Ruri)

“Understood, please take your time.” (Receptionist)

After Ruri acquired the catalog knowledge, she sat within the ready room and checked the home data one after the other.

There have been many sorts of properties on the listing however Ruri solely skimmed via them. She filtered the listing to point out all of the properties in Tokyo, and naturally, most of them had been flats or workplace buildings.

There are not any small LDK homes out there in Tokyo.

On this metropolitan metropolis, there are now not any city villages, that are thought of to be destroying the concord of the town’s panorama. These city villages had been evicted a number of a long time in the past, with everybody dwelling there on the time was moved into communal flats, and all of the landowners concerned have acquired massive(lol) compensation.

“Lets check out your design? You may click on the Generate VR Simulation button within the Switch Gate.” (Astrid)

“Okay.” (Ruri)

The 4 of them walked to the Switch Gate, and let Ruri generate her home design.

And instantly after that, their avatars disappeared in place after which reappeared inside a very magnificent home. On the similar time, detailed data of the design appeared on their holo-screens.

“What do you concentrate on my home design?” (Ruri)

Rena might solely be amazed whereas Emilia might solely be speechless.

“Wow, your potential home may be very massive, Ruri-chan” (Rena)

“That is… fairly wonderful.” (Emilia)

With out additional ado, the 4 of them toured the home.

The home design that Ruri made was the identical as what she mentioned to Astrid earlier, with a couple of modification.

The primary ground is split right into a front room, eating room, kitchen space, bathroom and enormous lavatory. This huge lavatory could be mentioned to be much like an onsen, the place there’s a bathing space and a pool of heat water.

“Is that this an onsen?” (Emilia)

“That is certainly an onsen, bathing right here can relieve fatigue and stress, or so I heard. I additionally wish to strive the so-called carbonated bathtub later, so I included this onsen.” (Ruri)

Subsequent, the second ground is linked to the lounge with an enormous staircase within the middle half, and the remainder divided into east and west components, the place every half has 4 rooms separated evenly by corridors, with 2 on one aspect and a pair of on the opposite.

Every room could be mixed with adjoining rooms into one at any time by eradicating wall dividers, and even hall partitions could be eliminated to create one massive room, one within the east and one within the west.

“What’s using these empty rooms?” (Rena)

“These 8 rooms are multi-purpose rooms, they can be utilized for something, for instance a gear room, wardrobe room, and may even be used as a visitor bed room.” (Ruri)

Then, the third ground is particularly reserved for a greenhouse mixed with an indoor pool, geared up with synthetic daylight, synthetic waterfall, and automated watering system.

The ceiling is made within the form of a dome made from anti-spy tremendous tempered glass which could be made clear so she will be able to see the view of the sky at night time.

“It have to be good dwelling right here, you may swim right here each day and the greenhouse is sweet. However the place is your bed room, Ruri-chan? Out of your perspective, I do not assume you’ll use any of the rooms under as your bed room.” (Emilia)

“Over there, do not you see the spherical space over there? I used to be planning to place a mattress there.” (Ruri)

“What? So, this whole room is your bed room?” (Rena)

As for the basement, there was no sophisticated operation, solely area for a storage, warehouse and workshop.

Lastly, her home is supplied with 10 layered tremendous photo voltaic panels, 5 bladeless wind generators, and a rainwater filtration system, all of that are the newest expertise, so she now not has to fret about electrical energy and water payments.

After all, she additionally did not neglect to supply carry area on every ground to make transportation simpler, in addition to integration with the Sensible Dwelling system in order that AI can handle the house administration.

As for the overall worth…

“581 million yen…” (Astrid)

Astrid might solely smile wryly after seeing the overview data and complete worth.

This complete worth consists of tax, residence insurance coverage, and the placement the place the home will probably be constructed.

One of many causes for the excessive worth was additionally as a result of Ruri didn’t select one of many vacant plots that had been ready, however as a substitute insisted on deciding on land plots from 4 adjoining ready-made homes and mix them into one.

Because of this she has to pay taxes, insurance coverage, and site payment 4 occasions. And naturally, the homes on these heaps need to be demolished, leading to further prices.

Effectively, the design of the home itself is kind of massive, besides, it solely makes use of round 20-30% of the area from these 4 land plots, and the remainder was solely used because the garden.

Speak about losing land area.

“Are you positive about this? 581 million is just not a small quantity, you understand?” (Astrid)

“Effectively, 581 million… That is about 50 kg of gold, no drawback.” (Ruri)

Astrid expressed her concern, in any case, 580 million yen is just not a small quantity.

Nonetheless, as a result of Ruri herself did not appear to thoughts the worth, Astrid did not ask additional and instantly accomplished the deal. In any case, the shopper who will pay is the King… or Queen if the shopper is a loli.

“Then high quality, depart the remainder to me. I’ll begin constructing the home as soon as I obtain the gold, and switch possession of the home to you as soon as the development is full.” (Astrid)

“Okay, I’ll ship the gold to you in the present day. It might take 1 or 2 days till the gold reaches you.” (Ruri)

As an indication of a profitable transaction, Astrid shook Ruri’s hand. Each of them smiled with satisfaction.

In the meantime on the aspect, Emilia and Rena might solely stare at them with sophisticated expressions. Possibly after this, they’ll redefine the which means of the phrase “wealthy” of their minds.

“As I assumed, the world of wealthy individuals is totally different. Is not that proper, Rena?” (Emilia)

“Why are you me like that, Emi-cchi? Even my household would not have that a lot cash, you understand?” (Rena)

Each of them sighed on the similar time.

Certainly what they skilled in the present day could be an unforgettable expertise for them.
