‌ The Galactic Guide to Social and Terrorist Assistance ‌

When Kobayashi, a quantum Courier, was complained by AI for the 17th time, he finally triggered the medal of "social terror rescuer" - a holographic warning beat on his suspended takeaway box: "The stress hormone of the consignee has been detected, and the stealth mode has been activated."

This is the greatest invention of 2047 AD: whenever the customer's heartbeat exceeds the social terror threshold, the rider automatically quantizes it. Like a ghost, Kobayashi now walks through the walls of Starriver Apartment's Room 2701 and sees clients huddled in anti-gravity bathtubs with an anxiety index barrage floating overhead: "Help! There are people alive outside the door!"

He put the milk tea lightly on the maglev tray, but the AI butler suddenly activated the voicing encryption protocol: "Customer message: If you encounter a bionic man wearing dinosaur pajamas, please use Morse code to tell it to go away."

"But you only have a jar of glowing jellyfish in your house?" Xiao Lin asked into the air.

From the bathtub came a scream after the sound converter processing: "That is the emotional visualization jellyfish I spent three months 'salary to buy! Purple represents" do not want to talk ", red tentacles are "express delivery door"..."

Suddenly, the entire building's quantum corridors began to twist. When Kobayashi is transported to the 23rd floor, he encounters an intergalactic social showdown in which his neighbor in dinosaur pajamas uses his brain waves to control a nanobot and tries to push a takeout container down a ventilation tube. And out of the ventilation pipe came a girl wrapped in a phase invisible blanket, her laser disconnector aimed at the robot, her chest badge flashing the code of "Interplanetary Society for Fear of Mutual Aid."

"Stop! This is antidepressant coffee for the programmers in room 2201!" The brain computer interface on the forehead of the dinosaur Pajama man blinked wildly, "He converted his workstation into a low-Earth orbit module last week, and now even the AI psychologist has been encoded as a binary swear word!"

'Nonsense! An electronic synthetic voice came from under the invisible blanket, "Programmer boss hired me to fix his brain firewall on the dark web, said the neighbors were harassing him with telepathic takeout notes!"

Xiao Lin has not had time to find out the situation, the emergency protocol of the whole building suddenly started. All the house numbers start to quantum leap, and he watches as his delivery box is transported to the 19th floor, where a resident is using a holographic projection to fake the "murder house" effect, and the projection screen is rolling in large, bloody letters: "Please scan the code for food, conversation will trigger the curse."

The most outrageous is the 31st floor.

When Kobayashi breaks through the gravity field and rushes into Room 3105, the client is wearing an immersive helmet and holding a meeting in the meta-universe, while the real body is subconsciously signing for the document - the pad of paper printed with "Disclaimer regarding the Use of clones for delivery." And the real express has long been dismantled into molecules by domestic robots, reorganized into a mechanical betta fish in the living room aquarium, and the fin is engraved with: "five-star praise, do not be disturbed."

"Warning! Rider brain wave confusion detected exceeds legal limit!" The helmet suddenly ejected a nerve sedative, Xiao Lin before losing consciousness, heard the last sound is from the toilet -

It was the smart toilet of the programmer's brother that automatically updated the circle of friends: "Trapped in the company's synchronous orbital module on the 33rd day, today's human contact quota has been used up, please put the takeout into the cabin excrement recycling port."
