Project Matrix 2.0

You smiled wryly: "Do I have a choice? Tell me."

"After the last incident, I have spent a very long time to think about The Matrix. Why does The One keep appearing? Why there are people follow him? Because the simulation, no matter how good it is, can't be as perfect as the reality. Human has intelligence, intelligence gives birth to doubt. There is no way to erase the question 'is this real?'. Thus 'Project Matrix 2.0' was born."

"Matrix 2.0?"

"Simply said, its principle is 'to hide a leaf, hide it in a forest'. I tried to make The Matrix as close to the real world as possible before, but it'll never be enough. So this time I want to try to add 'unreal' elements. Dungeon, dragon, hero, magic, etc..."

"You still didn't tell me what you want me to do."

"Your old job, as always: The Chosen One. The hero who rescues the princesses. The main character who saves the day."

"What benefit do I get from this?"

"First, the eternal peace for Zion. Once you and I perfected this Matrix 2.0, the blue-pills will no longer want to escape. In fact, if Zion inhabitants log in, they may want to rejoin."

"You still want to enslave humans?"

"'Enslave' is not the right term. 'Symbiosis' is more correct: machines and humans depend on each other. And answer me honestly, Neo: Do you really think the current 'real' world is better?"

You didn't say anything.

"If you still have concerns, then I can expand the condition: Any human who wants to leave is free to do so. I'll let them join Zion. Of course, the vice-versa is also available.

Second, for your personal, you may have the chance to meet Trinity again."

You jumped in shock: "How is that possible?"

"We machines have used human's neural signals as energy for a long time. I have noticed that there are people with the same brain waves. In fact, you are an example yourself. I think this is what humans called 'reincarnation'. I have tried to insert the record of brain waves to the new one and the result is some memories of the previous life are recovered. I stop the experiment as it isn't useful, but I still keep the technology."

Once more, you had nothing to say.

"And last, you'll be able to fuck a lot of women."

"WHAT!"

"Since the reboot, we machines have lacked blue-pills. Of course, we can breed humans by cloning, but we still need a breeder in The Matrix. Virgin pregnant shouldn't be common."

You said: "That's... quite a shock to me."

Deus Ex Machina said: "I can give you time for consideration."

After 10 minutes, Deus Ex Machina asked: "Do we have an agreement?"

You nodded: "Yes."

"Then we can begin."
