Another Life: Elf Archer

Real world, Country H, "Mind Uploading" project team.

The "Mind Uploading" project team and the "Life in Another World" game studio are set up in the same building, with seven floors above ground and four floors underground. Albert's residence and private research room are on the top floor, but he usually spends time with the team members He lives in the underground floors and does research, but the game studio has been more troublesome recently. He created an account himself to check in. Recently, he directly moved most of the team members to the game studio.

The operation, planning and development of games are not the same thing as scientific research. However, the game world itself is very special. Although the person in charge of the game project has some complaints in private, he does not dare to raise his opinions, especially when he knows that the customer service department has been The number of complaints and questions he received was rising steadily, and when negative news related to the game was flying into his inbox like snowflakes, he was even more grateful that Albert, the general manager, could personally take charge of the overall situation for him. .

When Walton was led to Albert, the first thing he saw was dozens of exhausted employees huddled behind rows of computers, and an anxious supervisor who was talking in a low voice.

Although people were coming and going in a hurry, these people were obviously deliberately walking slowly so as not to disturb the work of those in another area by the window. However, everyone passing by would take a look at them pretending to be calm and curious, but Unable to help but feel the tense atmosphere emanating from those people, my chest felt stagnant, and my heart was filled with questions.

As soon as Walton entered the door and saw Albert's stiff back, the screen that was mostly blocked, and the nervous looks of the three people surrounding him, he knew something was wrong.

After he left the game world, he immediately contacted Albert and relayed the entire negotiation between him and Nian Nian to Albert, hoping that he would consider it carefully. However, after waiting for 3 minutes, there was no reply. Suddenly, I felt uneasy and rushed over immediately.

After calming down and quickly sorting out his words, Walton walked towards Albert's seat. As soon as he took a few steps closer, he heard Albert talking to himself:

"The data erasure has reached 70.00%. Is it true that she doesn't know how to take action?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Albert refuted himself:

"No, absolutely not. As long as her nature remains unchanged, she will definitely take action."

Hearing this, the people around him couldn't help but glance at Albert, hesitated for a moment, and finally said nothing.

They are all engaged in research, and words such as nature, original intention, and sensibility will never appear in their judgments. Therefore, when Albert told everyone to arrange the arrangements, many people felt that this The success rate is very low.

If it were anyone else, Albert would naturally not choose this method to make him compromise, but he knew Nian Nian's character relatively well, especially the first time the two met, when he went to the Hidden Flower Valley for the sake of Yu Tao. NPC's memory data to ask for Nian Nian's opinion. Based on her reaction at the time, Albert believed that Nian Nian should be very concerned about "memory".

This was when Albert chose the necklace of wolf fangs related to the past as a medium to hide secrets every year. Albert only recalled this. He carefully analyzed the changes in his personality before and after the new year, and finally decided on this honest and upright choice. conspiracy.

"Team leader, if that Nian Nian doesn't intervene, do we really have to erase the memories of those two data personalities?"

The memory erasure has been advanced to 80.00%, and someone around Albert couldn't help but ask.

"Ah."

Albert stared at the progress bar closely, his eyes dark and unclear.

"If you do this, it seems to be a violation of the agreement," the man continued cautiously.

"Don't worry, I will be responsible for anything that happens. It has nothing to do with you." Albert waved his hand to signal the man to be quiet.

The game world has opened three free ports for research laboratories and project teams from other countries to use, allowing them to put their own designed data bodies into the game as players. The designers of the twins have occupied two places.

When the agreement was made, Albert and others thought they were releasing two characters at the same time. Later, they learned that the two characters entered the game in the form of identical twins, similar to split personalities. Even the values ​​​​were calculated separately. At that time, I just thought this design was interesting, so I didn't pay too much attention to it.

This time they were able to successfully pull the twins into the trap, and Albert and others relaxed a lot. In any case, processing two artificial data bodies is much safer than designing those living people, and the consequences will not be too serious, let alone It would violate the spirit of scientific research and lead to inner condemnation. The only thing I am not satisfied with is that I will probably be a little more rational every year and not be as impulsive as a living person in danger.

After all, deep in Albert's heart, he also felt that they were just two data bodies. They were not completely erased, but just a whitewash of memory. They were not worth getting angry at.

But thinking about how much he cared about the NPCs in the game every year, he decided to take a gamble.

"Albert, I need an explanation."

Walton had already analyzed the current situation based on what he had seen and heard. Standing behind him, he raised his hand and pressed Albert's shoulders, and spoke with severe condemnation and questioning.

Albert looked back and handed him the small flat screen display in his hand.

"The impact of this consciousness-immersed game on the mental health of players, especially the negative impact, has become a big deal and is known to the world. I must give an explanation to the outside world." Albert explained.

"So you're going to use every year as a scapegoat"

Walton did not take the display screen, but took a step forward with his hands behind his back. He stood next to Albert and stared at the large screen in front of him and the red progress bar in the center of the screen.

"I'm not that despicable," Albert smiled bitterly and sighed, "I just want to prove the benefits and prospects of this game world through her existence."

"Well, I understand. She's not a scapegoat, but I want to use her to divert attention and seize such a major scientific research achievement that shocked the world. You can also leave your name in history."

Walton raised his hand and pointed at the screen and sneered:

"Stop it, I'm afraid you'll end up trying to draw water from a bamboo basket."

The twins' memory erasure has advanced to 90.00%. Although the erasure speed is getting slower and slower, Walton's heart is getting heavier and heavier.

Whether it was the guy behind the twins who was considered an old friend, or the twins he met in the game world, they all made him reluctant to leave.

Perhaps, it is also because he is old and no longer has a heart of stone that can face sacrifice.

"I, believe her, she will not"

"The team leader has stopped"

Albert's expression changed greatly, he was filled with surprise, and he immediately ordered:

"Follow the preset steps for data impact"

data shock

Walton threw himself in front of the computer that those people were operating, but was squeezed away by the busy people. His feet were unsteady and he was about to fall. Albert quickly stood up and gave him a hand.

Walton turned around and grabbed Albert's wrist tightly, and asked sternly:

"What the hell are you going to do"

There was something strange in Albert's eyes, and he patiently comforted:

"Just use some meaningless data to pour it back. Nian Nian's personality data is well protected. I can't dig out anything from it. I just use reverse impact to prevent her from completely closing the backdoor channel."

They had no way to take things out from the door, so they had to stuff things in from outside the door, like placing a bamboo pole next to the door frame to prevent the door from being shut.

Walton didn't completely believe his explanation, and calmed down at this time, but it only made Albert's wrist hurt:

"To be honest, what do you want to do to her?"

"You must speak clearly, you know, I want her to come back alive, otherwise I will ruin your reputation even if I risk my life."

Having known Walton for a long time, Albert saw this old man’s ruthlessness and embarrassment for the first time. He was suddenly shocked and subconsciously stiffened his tongue and mumbled:

"No, it's nothing. It's just like neurogenic shock. It won't be a big problem."

"Neurogenic shock"

Walton repeated, his face that was flushed just now turned pale, he couldn't help but let go of his hand holding Albert's wrist, holding his chest and breathing hard.

He understood that Albert had impacted Nian Niannian's nervous system with a massive amount of useless and meaningless data in an instant. Not only did this data exceed her instantaneous processing limit, but its meaninglessness would also cause continuous processing errors. The consequences are similar to downtime, and this is just a theoretical analysis. In fact, the feeling at this moment is

"You want to make her hurt to death."
