Chapter 357 An Architect Who Doesn't Want To Play Demolition Is Not A Good Architect

This is not a city, but a village?

What do you mean?
This is the first hint, the most critical hint, but it is this sentence that Yu Liang can't understand the most.

A city refers to an area with a large population and more prosperous economic development, while a village is the opposite, with a relatively small population and a backward and scattered economy.

Judging from the development status of this cyber city, it can't be attributed to a village, right?
Or do the "city" and "village" here refer to something else?
As for the following words, it is somewhat confusing.

This village is real, and so is the ghost man, but the ghost man is a dream, a fantasy creature.

True or false, Yu Liang now has too little information to make a judgment.

However, he is still very familiar with dreams. He has already experienced dreams in the third dungeon, and he knows how to deal with such dreams.

Yes, "wake up" characters.

No matter how gaudy and charming the dream is, as long as he escapes from the dream and enters reality with the character "wake up", he can intuitively see the reality with his eyes, and the context of all copies will become clear.

Yu Liang thought of this and went straight to it. The money-saving ghost sold most of the "awake" characters in the third dungeon, but there were still some in stock, which can be used now.

So a "wake up" character appeared in his hand, and the architect on the side saw the character in his hand, and suddenly realized what he was going to do, and immediately reminded: "It's useless, I tried 'wake up' 'Character, this city is not a dream, and characters cannot be used to force awakening."

"Okay." Yu Liang threw the characters back into the money-saving ghost's jar, shrugging helplessly.

Indeed, this architect also experienced the copy of the rabbit game, so the architect must have tried the "wake up" character.

The mechanic on the side stared at the pot in the hands of the money-saving ghost with wide eyes, feeling a little dazed for a while.

jar?

Can hold characters?

Also, is this thing in a large overalls with a paper headgear the "beast" trained by the animal trainer in front of him?

This ability is also an ability that looks ordinary but is actually very useful, but I don't know how many characters can be contained in this jar.

As if sensing the mechanic's curious gaze, the rich ghost frowned vigilantly, then hugged his piggy jar tightly, hid behind Yu Liang, and stared at the mechanic with a thief-proof look.

The mechanic waved his hand, indicating that he had no intention of robbing the children.

Of course, if he knows how many characters are in the jar of the money-saving ghost, that may not be the case.

"Well, the 'awake' character is useless to us, but as the clue says, ghosts are dreams, so the 'awaken' character must be used on ghosts." The architect continued.

Ghosts are dreams, and the character "wake up" is going to be used on ghosts?
Yu Liang instinctively felt that there seemed to be a logical loophole in this.

If it is replaced by a certain person, it means that the person is dreaming, and the way to eliminate the dream should be to use the character "wake up" on this person, so that the dream will naturally disappear after he wakes up.

Now it is necessary to use the "awake" character on the dream itself to destroy it...

Could it be that the ghost man is his dream?
I dreamed myself, so I exist in dream form?
The logic of this kind of mutual causation is unreasonable, but it is probably just right in the world of ghost stories, so Yu Liang didn't think about it, but just wrote down this one.

"However, it should be noted that if you use the 'awake' character to kill ghosts, the viewing time will be deducted according to the ghost's level, and at least 3 hours." The architect said seriously, "so use the 'wake' character to kill ghosts If so, you need to carefully calculate the remaining viewing time."

"Is that so? Alright." Yu Liang was also a little helpless. He just thought of this dungeon a bit more simply. As a strange creature that exists widely in this dungeon, ghosts can be solved only by relying on the "awake" character. It would be too much of a joke.

The setting of deducting the viewing time is very reasonable, and it puts a kind of pressure on the players invisibly.

It seems that in this copy, more reasonable planning is needed for the use of viewing time.

But in this case, another situation may appear in this dungeon, right?

Watching time is also a resource, a resource that everyone is equal to, but weak players cannot keep this resource.

For example, strong players use force to restrain weak players, take them with them, distribute "wake up" characters, and order them to use "wake up" characters to eliminate ghosts at critical moments, and deduct the viewing time to save their lives.

hiss--

If I remember correctly, the current Huangpo Group has captured hundreds of players, so if an average value is taken, the viewing time of the players in their hands is at least [-] hours, right?
What on earth is this actor Aze going to do?
Yu Liang felt that he seemed to have caught some inspiration. According to the coaches and programmers, actors and Li Huachao were both fun people, but Yu Liang felt that there was still a slight gap between the two.

Li Huachao basically does whatever he thinks of, and basically doesn't think about the follow-up development. Often the follow-up plots are covered by money-saving ghosts, Yu Liang, or Lu Mingzhe.

Actors, however, seem to be different.

To say what is different, Yu Liang knows too little about him, so he can't make an accurate judgment at the moment, but according to his own feelings about him, Yu Liang thinks it can be described in four words.

Delayed enjoyment.

Yes, compared to Li Huachao, actors know how to delay enjoyment.

He used the barren slope group to gather hundreds of players, not just simply disgusting and harming people, but also had other plans.

What actors are really eyeing...

It may be the viewing time of these players. He has to use a lot of viewing time to complete a more important thing.

Or something more fun.

"'Awakening' character? Oh, is it a combination of 'wine' and 'star'? This thing is not hard to find." The mechanic put on a thoughtful look, probably just learned from the words of the architect. Something about "awake" characters.

Thinking about it carefully, the ghost man is really far away from him, and it was already three years ago.

Three years ago, Cyber ​​City was roughly what it looks like today. At that time, it was not difficult to complete the basic tasks. It can be said that there are new origins of ghosts everywhere.

He alone knew a lot, but the origin of most of the ghosts at that time was very old-fashioned and sloppy.

For example, ghost people come from aliens, ghost people come from some kind of human experiment, ghost people come from vampires, etc...

Most of the ghosts in the past were relatively "simple". Although there were still some difficulties in escaping, it was not as difficult to find clues as it is now. It required a certain amount of luck and reasoning ability to encounter them.

Thinking of this, the mechanic couldn't help but look at Yu Liang and the architect with a smile, and reached out to pat their shoulders.

You were born in a good time.

At this moment, the mechanic was somewhat fortunate in his heart. After completing the basic tasks, he chose to stay in Cyber ​​City, and basically hid in this shop all the time, away from the strange power of this city.

There are occasional ghost incidents, but his place is not a high-incidence place, even if there are ghosts, they can be easily dealt with.

But Yu Liang and the architect were not as comfortable as the mechanic, and they began to analyze some follow-up clues.

Knowledge is stagnated here, time is stagnant, and history is fiction.

"I once wondered whether this Cyber ​​City is fake, and we players are actually 'brains in vats', just like the one in "The Matrix". This kind of setting is not uncommon. "The architect wrote the few words just now on a piece of white paper, "But the following things make me feel that it is not so simple. I suspect that this has something to do with the city's internal system."

"System? What system?" Yu Liang didn't understand these things.

"In this city, basically you can't change occupations casually after obtaining a registered permanent residence. Are you aware of this?" The same goes for the job, because the city resists too much change."

He continued: "The same is true for knowledge. The physical books here have almost disappeared, and most of the materials are stored on the Internet, but it is often necessary to pay an extremely high price to obtain this knowledge. Most people have no channels to obtain this knowledge. "

"This is probably the meaning of 'knowledge stagnated here'." The architect concluded, "Secondly, I really can't understand the stagnation of time, but the history is indeed fictional. I found some history of the city, basically It is a very unscientific unscientific history, and this city seems to have developed to this point out of thin air, it is a rootless city."

"En." Yu Liang accepted the architect's information, but didn't think too deeply.

The mission of the third stage of the pioneers is to leave some key information for later players, but under normal circumstances, the information left will be some relatively clear reminders.

For example, Yu Liang, the problem-solving ideas and information left by Yu Liang on the flesh and blood planet are very clear, and there will be no such thing as unclear meaning.

Leaving such a mess of information is most likely because this guy's thinking has been affected by some kind of strange talk, and it is a clue left in a state of mental instability.

That being the case, there is no need to interpret the information so carefully. The content inside is useful, but not necessarily correct.

If you want to solve the root of the strange talk, it may be better to find the clues left by player No.1 in the pioneering book, because that must be the most objective analysis of the entire copy.

Yu Liang participated in the pioneering book, but the architect didn't seem to have participated in the pioneering book, so he told the architect about the tasks of the players in the pioneering book, which solved some of the architect's doubts.

"Okay, maybe I'm a little bit of a dead end, but the information I collected shouldn't be a problem." The architect scratched his head and said.

He sighed: "This city is like a pool of stagnant water, and the degree of class solidification is too obvious. 20% of the people create 120% of the wealth, while the remaining 80% of people do useless work every day and can be replaced by robots." , can’t create any value at all, so they are owed 20% of their wealth instead. For these people, the meaning of work is bondage, which is equivalent to letting them stay in a cage obediently.”

"It's like walking a dog. The dog's energy must be vented. If you go out for an hour, you will save an hour at home." Yu Liang echoed abruptly.

The architect nodded subconsciously, and then asked back: "Almost, so your family has a dog?"

"It is." Yu Liang nodded in the same way, he probably has a certain understanding of this cyber city.

Neon lights, billboards and high-rise buildings are not the core of cyberpunk, nor are prosthetics and fancy clothing. The core of cyberpunk should simply be "high-tech low life".

As Yu Liang understands now, the degree of class solidification is far beyond the player's imagination. The lock-up of knowledge makes the lower class completely unable to see the hope of climbing up. Everyone's work is irrelevant, and everyone is related to the assembly line. There is no difference between the products produced on the Internet, so we can only pursue innovation in some superficial aspects, which has created all kinds of strange cybermen.

But there is one thing that the upper class and the lower class share, and that is Taoism.

The worship of Taoism exists in almost every corner of the entire city, otherwise it would not be possible to become one of the compulsory courses in the school, even cybermen who don't study anymore will mention their Taoist culture of "natural inaction". He proudly puffed up his chest, thinking that he was practicing the teachings of Taoist ancestors.

In fact, it's just that there is no hope, and it's just swaying in place.

Of course, the upper-class people don't care whether they are bad, because the real wealth of society is not created by these people.

Against this background, Cyber ​​City was divided into four regions.

Area A, the area where the backbone of Cyber ​​City lives and works, at least the middle class.

Area B, the scientific research area, is an area where a large number of technology companies exist, and many of them have the power to crush the government, but due to various reasons, they are still restraining each other with the government.

Area C, the most presumptuous area, has loose management, and the scale of entertainment venues is beyond imagination, which is the area for "venting".

Area F is an ordinary living area. This is the most "reality" area, but it has a stricter management system, such as the "curfew" and "law enforcers" that Yu Liang has experienced.

And this is what surprised Yu Liang the most. The F area that is closest to reality is also the area where ghost incidents occur most frequently.

If you want to find the origin of new ghosts, Area F is the best area to explore, and it is for this reason that players in the dungeon will gather in Area F during the day to seek clues to complete the mission.

"So next, let's go back to Area F?" Yu Liang heard the meaning of the architect's words.

"Yes, by the way, I also want to see the situation of other players I know." The architect nodded, and he seemed to have a relatively complete plan in his heart.

He sent an invitation to Yu Liang: "Try to solve the basic tasks first, and then try to rescue those players caught by the barren slope group when you have extra viewing time."

"After discovering the origin of the new ghost man and escaping, we will get a ticket to leave Cyber ​​City safely. We can choose to leave this instance at any time, and we can make a big fuss without any worries."

Having said that, the architect narrowed his eyes, he let out a cold snort and opened his hands, and a goblin bomb appeared beside him.

"I'm very vengeful, Huangpo."

"Ah?" Seeing his appearance, Yu Liang was taken aback immediately.

"After blowing up the shopping mall last time, I feel comfortable all over. It just so happens that one of my companions in this dungeon is a 'replicator', so I prepared some goblin bombs." The architect showed a bright smile, stretched out his hand and patted his side Stacked bombs.

Yu Liang touched his head, did this guy turn on some strange switch?

You are a construction engineer, not a blasting engineer!
