On the Seven Towers

"I, I think it's better for you to leave. We are discussing our own matters." To be fair, in this fantasy world, the male student was well behaved. I didn’t drive people away rudely, I just wanted to stand up and ask Xiao Chen to leave. But he found that as soon as he got up, he was pressed down by a force that didn't know where he came from.

"I was passing by and heard that you were talking about fun things. How can I protect myself?" Xiao Chen looked at him with a look that was intimidating for some reason, leaving him with almost no chance to refuse.

When the female student and the foreign student saw the male student sitting down again, they thought he wanted to listen to Xiao Chen and kept silent.

Xiao Chen kept talking about the train, but he still mentally observed the movements of everyone around him. He found that as the insurance product he made up went deeper and deeper, the reactions of several people around him became slower and slower, and the same was true for Zhang Miao over there. It was very similar to the way computers used to have poor performance and skip frames when running large games. . It seems that the operator of the illusion, whether it is a human or something else, has limited computing power after all.

When the other party simply listens to him, the computing power consumed is not bad. When the other party has to react and say something, the computing power consumed is particularly large. There are even cases where the answers are incorrect.

For example, Xiao Chen asked just now: "After purchasing this product for ten years, a certain proportion of the insured amount will be transferred into your account every year. Calculate how much you can withdraw when you are forty years old, and how much you can withdraw when you are sixty years old. How much more?"

This was a very simple addition question, but the boy was stunned for a long time, turned to the international student with a smile and said: "Tomorrow I will take you to the tallest building here to have a look. It overlooks the entire Huangpu River. You can't see it in your hometown. You will definitely like this sight.”

Xiao Chen realized that the manipulator behind him was beginning to lose his ability to cope. He said a few more words to bring the topic back, slowly testing the limits of the other party's computing power.

After chatting like this for a while, Xiao Chen left these people behind and returned to Luo Ling. He introduced Zhang Miao to the topic and quickly ended the conversation and sent the other party away.

Then he said to Luo Ling: "I guess this operator is dealing with the illusion of the entire ship. Therefore, the computing power that can be allocated to us is relatively limited. If we overload him, maybe we can break this illusion. However, , It’s definitely not enough for us to talk to two people like this, how can we increase its burden?”

Luo Ling thought for a while and said, "To achieve such an effect, I have an idea."

"How?"

"I'll tell you in the next reincarnation," Luo Ling said.

The two walked out of the cafe, and the dazzling sunlight made them close their eyes again. Then Xiao Chen found himself back downstairs in mathematics. However, he had mastered the skills to avoid amnesia, and now reincarnation could no longer affect his memory.

"Follow me." Luo Ling hurried over, took his hand, and ran towards the mathematics building.

Luo Ling took Xiao Chen to the second floor of the mathematics building. In these classrooms, a class was preparing to start class. A male teacher was organizing his course materials in front of the podium.

The male teacher saw Luo Ling rushing in with a man and asked strangely: "Teacher Luo, what's going on?"

Luo Ling said: "Teacher Fang, the school has informed us that this class will be canceled and changed to an activity class. If there are tasks assigned, I will arrange this class."

"Oh, okay." The male teacher didn't know because he was a member of the illusion and had a simple mind, or because he had nothing to be suspicious of. Without saying anything else, he packed up his bag and walked out of the classroom.

As soon as Luo Ling waited for him to leave, she stood on the podium and said to the students below: "The school will now hold a debate competition and internal selection within the class. Today, we have thirty-two students here, divided into eight groups, two by two. Practice. Just group them according to their current seats..."

Luo Ling directed everyone to divide into groups, and then briefly introduced the rules of the debate.

Then he announced: "Today's debate question is: Does the role of gods in human society do more good than harm or do more harm than good. The positive side's point is that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and the negative side's point of view is that the harm outweighs the good, so let's start now. "

The students in these illusions were very obedient and began to debate. Their views probably all came from the consciousness of Xiao Chen and Luo Ling, so they talked in a relatively in-depth manner, and I really argued with each other paragraph by paragraph.

After Luo Ling listened for a while, she found that the content of each group was very similar, like a replica of the same thing. The same words will be heard from the debaters in each group.

"The controller's power is still limited. He only spent one group's computing power on eight groups of debates." Xiao Chen said.

"Then let's add some code to it." Luo Ling walked to the third and fourth groups, asked them to stop the current debate, and gave them a new debate topic: does the pros of teenagers pursuing idols outweigh the cons, or does the cons outweigh the pros. This time, the debaters in the third and fourth groups could no longer say the same words as the other groups. Xiao Chen obviously felt that their speaking speed had become slower.

"it works."

"Then continue." Luo Ling said.

She walked over to each group and gave them different debate topics. By the time the four groups of debate contestants began to debate completely different topics, this fantasy space had become very sluggish. In front of Xiao Chen and Luo Ling, a room full of people was debating, but all of them had long hair. My mouth couldn't spit out syllables, and the world seemed to have stopped.

"This operator should not be a person. He looks very rigid. Otherwise, he should have made these people not respond to our request, or simply attack us." Xiao Chen said. The mental power he spread out had already felt the cracks in the space, as if something outside could penetrate.

"I felt a trace of magic outside." Luo Ling said, "It means our guess is right. The attack really happened in World No. 1."

Xiao Chen said: "But this space has not reached its limit. We may need to do something else."

Luo Ling said: "Simple, there are more than one class next door. I will arrange some debate activities for them. You watch here. I suspect that as long as we don't look at the place, it doesn't need to consume computing power."

She said and ran to the next class. Xiao Chen continued to stay here, forcing the operator to calculate the picture here for him to watch.

Xiao Chen waited for a long time, and suddenly felt that the world that was still running slowly stopped completely, and then the world was slowly retreating, as if it was going to return to a perfect state.
