Fantasy Game: Infinite City

More than ten kilometers away from the battle ruins.

Without the system's prompts, Garcia simply avoided those unknown native creatures, tried to choose the direction with only rocks, and walked aimlessly.

On the way, Garcia discovered a small naturally formed cave. The cave was not very big, only a few meters deep, and the entrance was only two or three meters wide. There should be no large creatures inside. Garcia searched the cave and found no living creatures. She decided to go in and rest for a while. She needed some time to rest and think.

"There seems to be something wrong with the task given by the system. This suddenly happened to me. The system itself that can be used also has some problems..."

Although the system said that the bird corpse he had eaten unlocked some abilities, it did not say whose abilities were unlocked. Now, that??? may not necessarily represent Han Zu.

"Although for Infinite Company, if Han Zu were alive, they would have the advantage of using him, but overall, his death is the best option for the company. The task given by this system may not be a good thing. Maybe I shouldn't follow the instructions of the system..."

An idea suddenly entered Garcia's mind, and she suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Could it be that the system is actually trying to use me to kill Han Zu?!"

Garcia's idea was not unreasonable. Garcia recalled a series of tests and experiments he had done on Han Zu in the research institute before, and one of them suddenly came to his mind.

Han Zu's body is very different. Even if a large area of ​​his body is destroyed, he will not lose any memory because his memory is recorded in all his cells. Therefore, as long as any piece of body fragment exists, Han Zu can clearly remember everything that happened during this period.

"In my previous experiment on myself, because I was affected by his power, he could communicate directly with me by reading my thoughts and transmitting his thoughts to my brain at a distance. Theoretically, he is not completely dead yet, and I transplanted his eyes onto my body. Logically, he should be able to communicate with me, but why didn't I receive any information from him?"

Combining previous research results and distrust of unlimited companies, Garcia came to a conclusion. Given the current situation, the possibility of this conclusion is very high, at least 90% certain.

"His body has entered a dormant state, so he can't communicate with me. But logically speaking, after losing more than 90% of his body, he should have a very high demand for repair. But now he has fallen into dormancy. There is only one possibility. There is some special ingredient in the bird's corpse that can temporarily suppress the activity of his cells!"

Thinking of this, Garcia couldn't help but curse a few words. The Infinite Company's methods were still very insidious. Even on this unknown planet that they had not yet completely occupied, they could still monitor and induce himself through the Infinite City's system.

However, there is one thing that is very wrong. That is, when Han Zu was using the system, there was nothing abnormal. However, the system he was using was inducing Garcia to use her hand to kill Han Zu. This is a very contradictory thing.

"Logically, this system should be able to read the thoughts of some so-called 'players' so that it can find countermeasures in advance. However, when Han Zu used the system, the system interface was no different from that of an ordinary system. Why is that?"

Being able to read the carrier's thoughts is a terrifying ability, even if it is only partial. This means that no matter how you want to do it, Infinite Company will come up with a countermeasure first, and then induce you to act according to their instructions.

"He can't read Han Zu's thoughts? Although the Gift of the Dead Realm has an effect on this, Infinite Company should not be completely unable to do anything about it... And the system of Infinite City seems to be able to influence the player's thinking only in the "copy" world. In other words, it will record the player's thinking patterns in the real world, and then use this to induce them in Infinite City... Ah! I understand!"

An unrealistic thought, which might be the real reason, appeared in Garcia's mind.

The reason why the system cannot induce or influence Han Zu is related to Han Zu's weird way of thinking, which has nothing to do with his thoughts and actual behaviors. Simply put, as a system that pays attention to logic and analyzes player behavior through big data, it is impossible to figure out how Han Zu's abstract thinking works.

"I understand."

Garcia thought of a way to avoid system surveillance, which was to imitate Han Zu's way of thinking. However, Garcia also knew that a person with normal thinking logic, such as herself, would never be able to imitate Han Zu's abstract thinking 100%. However, this did not mean that it was a dead end.

"At present, Infinity Corporation has not completely occupied this place, and the system will disappear occasionally, which means that they must still have people on this planet, but the signal enhancement device they carry, or the device that can maintain the effectiveness of the system, has a small range. It may be to reduce the attention of other people in this world. In other words, I can use whether the system can be used to roughly judge the distance between me and them!"

Garcia is now in a natural cave, which contains some special unknown minerals. They seem to have a certain degree of radioactivity and can interfere with the signals supporting the work of the system. Using this place, Garcia is thinking about countermeasures.

"But this also proves that the people of Infinite Company already know that Han Zu and I are here. If my guess is correct, their next goal should be to find and kill me. I have to think of a way to erase the system signal first, but that means I need to get closer to them..."

Garcia is a rational person. She knows that she may not be their opponent, but she understands that hiding all the time is useless. Moreover, according to Han Zu’s previous idea, if they want to complete the following idea, they must solve the problem of being monitored by the system. At the very least, they must figure out how this thing works.

However, the more he thought about it, the greater the chance of failure of Garcia's anticipated course of action. Garcia couldn't help but sigh that the more complicated it was, the easier it was to make mistakes.

"It seems I have to imitate his way of thinking. If it were him, what would he do?"

It is certainly impossible to perfectly copy Han Zu's ideas, but if the smart Garcia wants to imitate them about 60% to 70%, he can still do it.

Garcia thought about it for a while and quickly found a solution. First of all, Han Zu's idea was actually very simple, which was a goal-achieving approach. In other words, except for the goal to be achieved, all other processes were improvised, and even he himself didn't know what he would do.

For example, there is a maze where you need to enter from entrance A and leave from exit B. The normal way of thinking for people is how to find the exact route through the maze and anticipate the possible dangers in the maze. Therefore, most people will be more concerned about how to reach the exit than the exit.

Garcia might think about whether Exit B is the only exit, whether it is a trap, what is the purpose of the maze, and so on. She will think in more directions than the average person, so she will foresee more bad results, which will slow down her speed in passing through the maze.

But Han Zu was completely different. He would think about entering the maze and leaving. That was what he was going to do. So the entrance and exit, as well as the possible dangers, were not in his mind at all. Based on his behavior logic, he would probably just randomly choose a place, then crash through the wall and crash out from the other side. This would be considered reckless by others. But it was undeniable that his speed was often much faster than that of others who thought too much.

And this is not Han Zu's only way. If conditions permit, he may also enter the entrance of the maze, and then immediately return to the entrance, or directly blow up the maze. In short, any behavior or obstacle that prevents him from completing his goal, as long as it does not arouse his interest, he will kill the opponent without hesitation. Once he cannot eliminate the obstacle, or it arouses his interest (usually the two are the same thing), he will immediately switch his goal, put the matter of passing through the maze behind him, and continue to use the simplest and crudest way to achieve his new goal. However, after completing the new goal in this way, he will often get the correct method to solve the maze.

To ordinary people, doing so is simply reckless, but they ignore the fact that the other party will be completely unable to predict what Han Zu will do next, because even he himself does not know. Without a countermeasure, they will be timid and some enemies who could have destroyed Han Zu will be caught off guard and die at Han Zu's hands.

"He is not a fool. When he encounters something that interests him, his thinking is even more sophisticated than that of many knowledgeable people, but the way they are completed is still simple and crude..."

Garcia was ready. She decided to try Han Zu's behavior. However, she did not have as strong a physique as Han Zu, but she was just not as strong as Han Zu.

“My goal, then, is to . . . find a way or a tool to maintain a credit signal.”

After thinking of the goal, Garcia stopped thinking, walked out of the cave, and moved forward in a random direction, no longer deliberately avoiding those native creatures.

Not long after walking, the system came online again. It seemed that this place had entered the range where the system could be maintained active. Garcia pulled off some leaves and vines from the plants nearby and made simple clothes. He continued to walk deeper in this direction.

Without excessive thinking, Garcia felt relaxed and his body senses were much clearer than before. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but even his eyesight was better than before.

"So that's how it feels... No wonder he does this."

"Boom."

"Cuck!"

A creature bumped into Garcia's leg. It was the same alien creature that he had seen before, similar in appearance to a toad, but this one was smaller, only the size of a palm, and probably hadn't grown to maturity yet. Garcia suddenly thought this strange creature looked a little cute, and after looking around, he didn't find any water nearby, so he bent down, reached out and picked up the creature.

Garcia didn't think too much. She suddenly wanted to send this creature to a place with water. She immediately put her previous goal behind her, hugged the creature, and started looking for water.

"Crack."

"Quack."

After walking a few steps, Garcia encountered some of these creatures again. They were of different sizes, some as big as a motorcycle, and some as small as a basketball. Including the one she was holding, there were about seven or eight of them in total. The other creatures seemed to have followed her because of the one she was holding. Garcia ignored them, just slowed down her pace slightly and continued to look for water nearby.

"Quack."

"Crack."

"Quack!"

The creature in her arms did not move around, but just barked occasionally, not loudly, and Garcia did not find it noisy. The creatures around her also followed her, making some not-so-noisy noises.

“Hua La La…”

Unconsciously, Garcia walked into the depths of a dense forest. The clear sound of flowing water attracted her attention. Garcia lowered her head and saw a stream with clear water. Looking downstream along the direction of the stream, Garcia found a large pond not far away with a lot of plants similar to lotus leaves growing on it. Garcia followed the stream to the pond and then placed the creature in her hand to the edge of the pond.

After doing this, the other toad-like creatures no longer followed her. Garcia randomly found a direction and prepared to continue her original goal, which was to find a way or tool to maintain the system signal.

"Quack!"

But just as she turned around, the palm-sized creature she had brought with her suddenly jumped up, crawled along Garcia's plant-made clothes, and climbed onto her arm, clinging on it like a koala.

Garcia gently pulled it off his arm, held it in his palm, stretched out a finger to scratch its chin, then put it back on the edge of the pond and prepared to continue on his way.

“Bang…Bang!”

Suddenly there were several loud noises behind Garcia. Turning back, Garcia saw a creature with the same appearance, but it was the size of a main battle tank.

"Quack."

"Quack! Quack!"

The huge creature opened its mouth and let out a loud but dull roar, and the palm-sized creature behind it jumped onto Garcia again, climbed up Garcia's arm to her head and squatted down, also making a roar, as if it was communicating something with the huge creature in front of it.

"Quack! Quack!"

"Quack."

Garcia had no idea what they were doing, but she didn't care now. She suddenly wanted to touch the huge creature in front of her, so she did it.

Those hairs that look thin and hard are much softer to the touch, but a little damp, probably because this creature likes to stay in the water.

"Quack! Hey!"

"Danglanglang!"

The huge creature in front of him suddenly opened its mouth and spit out something that sounded like some kind of metal. Garcia lowered his head and saw a mass of something covered in mucus with slight signs of corrosion.

After washing off the mucus with pond water, a damaged exoskeleton backpack appeared in front of Garcia. The outer shell of the backpack had been corroded and the coating on it had been removed. However, judging from the shape of the exoskeleton, it looked like the equipment worn by the elite soldiers sent down from the rat removal company headquarters that he had seen on the island before.

Using the bone fragments to pry open the almost corroded lock of the backpack, Garcia took out something that looked like a signal enhancement device. Using the solid bone fragments, Garcia disassembled the thing, and through the structure inside, Garcia was basically sure that this thing was a device used to control micro-nano robots.

His own system also disappeared abruptly after the device was dismantled. It seemed that Garcia had accidentally found something that affected the system.

"Your ideas are so interesting..."

Garcia laughed. Now she not only solved the problem of being monitored by the system, but also found out how the system works. It can be said that she killed two birds with one stone.

"So they are nanorobots. These robots will gradually be devoured and transformed by Han Zu's body. So after he enters the dungeon for too long, a system failure will occur. It seems that all the nanorobots that maintain the system function have been devoured. In other words, as long as someone uses the game cabin, they will be monitored by the system."

At this moment, Garcia suddenly understood why Han Zu was valued by Infinite Company and even wanted to kill him, because he was a completely uncontrollable factor.

"I think I know what to do next."

Garcia laughed, left the pond and those creatures, walked in a random direction, and after a while, left the dense forest.
