Abyss game

Qiao Jingting was stunned for a moment before realizing that the "he" Shen Wufei said referred to the second personality. He was puzzled and said, "What do you mean? Aren't you the same person? Besides, he will help us? He really wants to put I'm dissecting."

"He's better than me." Shen Wufei looked at the ground fixedly.

"Is he stronger than you? Your abilities should be exactly the same. He is stronger than you only in character." From this point of view, he is quite powerful.

Shen Wufei shook his head: "Not only... I can't tell, but I know he must be stronger than me. If it's really a life-and-death situation, you will die as a living doctor. Try it, at least he will try his best to save me. ...help yourself."

"That's true..." Qiao Jingting smiled, "I hope I don't have to go to that step."

Shen Wufei asked, "How many points do you have now?"

"About three thousand."

"Too little, the most important thing for you now is to cleanse the marrow."

"I know, if it wasn't for marking this city, I would have been able to wash my soul."

Shen Wufei looked at him helplessly: "Then who is to blame."

Qiao Jingting thought that they had snatched the city, and said embarrassingly: "The situation forced it, it's not a country, the points are worth spending, I'm from..." He suddenly thought of something and stopped.

Shen Wufei looked at him without blinking, his eyes were clean and sharp, making it impossible for anyone who wanted to hide anything to hide.

Qiao Jingting hesitated for a moment, and said: "Forget it, since you decided to stay, it's enough, I won't hide it from you, but you have to keep it a secret." Taking you as a brother, Shen Wufei knew that they were in danger and had escaped death, but he was still willing to stay and help them, and this friendship was enough when they robbed Shen Wufei's city.

"Of course." Shen Wufei's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Qiao Jingting coughed lightly, and told Shen Wufei about the game bug he discovered.

Shen Wufei was so excited that he couldn't sit still in the chair: "Really? No one can get in except you?"

Qiao Jingting nodded with certainty: "At least the three of them have tried, and it didn't work."

Shen Wufei twisted his fingers vigorously, and said to himself: "How could this happen, there is still such a thing... So, you know the attack mode of the roe owl so well, is it because of this BUG?"

"Yes, including many previous monsters."

"No wonder..." Shen Wufei blushed with excitement, "I have observed you for a long time, and found that your strength does not match your level at all. A level 6 player who has not been cleansed has the strength of a level 8 player at least. I haven't seen it in the game for so long."

Qiao Jingting shrugged: "It's hard to say at level 8, but I've killed level 7 ones, and it's only one or two levels away, so it's not too difficult."

"Bi, it's different from Xinshou Village." Shen Wufei said seriously, "In Xinshou Village, it's a few levels behind, but it's just the difference between ordinary people and athletes, but at the same level, if you don't wash your spirits, it's just empty-handed and holding a gun. difference!"

Qiao Jingting frowned and said: "Is it so magical to wash the marrow? But I don't think you are much better than me."

"This is where you are so good." Shen Wufei shook his head, "Have you never seriously thought about this matter?"

Qiao Jingting thought for a while, the 4 people in front of her were all cleansed, Shu Ai's professional tendency made her not good at fighting, Shen Wufei's fighting relied on Gu, these two can be ruled out, Zou Yidao's level is placed there, He thinks he is definitely not an opponent, but the gap between Bai Er and him does not seem to be obvious.He said with full expectation: "According to what you said, if I wash my soul..."

"It's no small matter." Shen Wufei said in a deep voice, "You have to cleanse your soul as soon as possible, and kill all the way up. There will be fewer and fewer people who dare to provoke you."

Qiao Jingting's blood boiled a little when he heard it: "I will enter the void space again today. Now we have 5 people, and we can farm monsters with higher points."

"Okay, then I need to monitor your brain waves."

"What do you think this BUG is? I've thought about it for a long time, and I think it's like a computer trash can."

"No." Shen Wufei pondered, "I think what you have entered is the virtual system of the game."

"Virtual system?" Several people said in unison, none of them understood the meaning of this term.

"Let me explain briefly." Shen Wufei said, "The game has a server, and you all know what a server is."

"know."

"In the real world we know, any program runs on a single server. This single server does not refer to one server, but all servers are running the same program, because a program with a huge amount of data cannot be loaded on one server. But this game, I can be sure, is at least based on multi-server distributed computing and storage. The English name of "Matrix" - Matrix, is what it means. Matrix shares data and computing with each other, a type of server, It is only responsible for the calculation of a certain area. For example, this type of server is responsible for the map, and that type is responsible for the equipment, and then run interactively. The reason why I can be sure is because the concept involved in this game is too complicated. I told you before Yes, how terrible this program is. It is impossible to perfectly integrate living people into computer programs without using such advanced technology. Matrix is ​​just the most advanced technology imagined by human beings. This game has surpassed human beings. At least as far as the perfect matching of living things is concerned, this technology must be practiced with higher science."

Qiao Jingting rubbed his forehead: "You...didn't you say that you want to explain briefly..."

Shen Wufei looked at the slightly bewildered faces of the four people, as if they had been poured with a bucket of cold water, and he coughed lightly: "The difference between single-server computing and multi-server computing is like...we want to get 4 Kilo fruit platter, this platter is composed of 100 kinds of fruits of equal quality. A single server is to use 100 bowls to hold the platter, each bowl contains 100 kg of exactly the same fruit, and the total is 1 kg. And multi-server It means that each bowl has only one kind of fruit, and 100 bowls are put together to weigh 100 kilograms. But at the same time, these 100 kinds of fruits must be next to each other, and those 7 kinds of fruits and those 3 kinds of fruits can never touch each other. The fruit must be on top of that fruit, and that fruit must pass through the middle of this fruit. Do you know how many different permutations and combinations of 6 kinds of fruits can be? 100 to the 2th power, that is an astronomical number. What's more, the elements in this game More than 100."

"Oh, that's enough to understand." Qiao Jingting once again felt that he needed to increase his intelligence, "Then what exactly is this BUG?"

"Don't worry, if I don't explain clearly, you will not understand." Shen Wufei also seemed to be struggling, "This multi-server system naturally needs constant maintenance while performing such complex calculations. The existence of a virtual system is to allocate system resources and space, and maintain the running status of the entire script system. Of course, this is a single-server virtual system. The situation with multiple servers is definitely more complicated. It may not be called a virtual system, but there must be such a thing , to automatically allocate and control resources, the virtual system is like a ghost, it exists in the system and controls all the data in the system."

"Then those things I saw... why did only some of them appear in the virtual system?"

"There are classes and objects in the program. A class is a template. For example, a weapon is a class, a runestone is a class, a map is a class, and an image is a concrete thing created based on a class. For example, a certain weapon, a certain Runestones, a certain map. And the virtual system maintains references to all objects."

"what?"

"That's... you use this weapon, you become the object of this class instantiation, otherwise I said this class is called ABC, do you know what is ABC? Only when I take out something that represents ABC, can ABC have actual Meaning. And when you don’t use this weapon, the virtual system deletes the reference to this object, but the actual object still exists, but your act of using it disappears.” Shen Wufei knocked on the table, “The key is, a certain In some cases, if the object has not been referenced, the virtual system will delete the object in order to reduce the pressure on the server."

Shu Ai suddenly realized: "So what Jingting saw was the elephant that was deleted by the virtual system!"

"That's right. For example, if there is an item that no one has bought, the virtual system will delete it to free up system resources. But in fact, this item does not disappear from the system. Its code is still there and can be recreated at any time. Only when you buy it, that is, when you quote it, the virtual system will create one for you. Similarly, if a monster is repeatedly beaten, various improvements may be detected during the period, such as your When playing games, there is an internal test, and the deficiencies found in the internal test will be continuously corrected, and those old versions that have been changed? Because they are no longer referenced, they are deleted by the virtual machine.”

"It's no wonder that the monsters I sometimes encounter are a bit broken." Qiao Jingting still remembered the first time he encountered a squirrel, the wires were all exposed.

"Yes." When Shen Wufei is concentrating on something, there is a firm aura around him, which is several times stronger than his usual timid appearance, "So, that empty space is the virtual system of the game, and what you see in it All things are objects that are no longer referenced due to various reasons such as version updates, data modification, and no one buying them, but their data still remain in the server, and appear in front of you after being deleted by the virtual system!"

Several people held their breath for a few seconds and nodded at the same time.

"Although it's a bit complicated, I understand it." Zou Yidao exhaled a smoke ring, "This explanation is very reasonable. Therefore, every time he goes to a place, what he sees is different, and it is also because of the server-based regional calculation."

"Yes, I don't know how many servers this game is supported by, but every time I go to a new city, the things deleted in the virtual system are different, which proves that there must be a lot of servers. However, the multi-server of distributed computing The system must be a redundant system, which means that multiple servers will superimpose a certain program, which can ensure that a server is broken, and this program will not cause problems. Multiple calculations and backups are used to ensure the stability of the system , so you're bound to see something repeated, it's just probabilistically infrequent."

Qiao Jingting asked: "Then after I became the lord of the city, I suddenly saw much more things than before. Why?"

"Permission problem." Shen Wufei said, "Even if you enter the virtual system, you are still in the system and subject to certain restrictions. For example, if you don't go to the country of Linyuan, you will not be able to see the country of Linyuan. If you don’t become a city lord, you won’t be able to see the city system, and you won’t have access to the authority to monitor various strange points. When these authorities are opened, you will naturally see more.”

Qiao Jingting raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I'll just say that the points are well spent."

"Then can this virtual system be implanted with viruses?"

"Virtual systems are very easy to implant viruses, but virtual system poisoning usually does not affect the programs in the real system. This is a major advantage of virtual systems. I can make viruses that poison the real system, but putting them in is a bit of a hassle. Huge problems, one is how to launch, and the other is the punishment we may receive from the system if the launch is not found.” Shen Wufei sighed, “The most important thing is that so far, the launch of the virus is a bit blind. Our virus Not just to make the system fail, not just to steal a certain secret, not just to spy on the system data, these are the goals we may need to achieve in order to leave the system, if we don’t try, we will never know what this virus is going to do What, which direction to improve, but once we try, we may expose ourselves."

"So I can't do anything now." Qiao Jingting was also very disappointed.

"That's not true. If you create some small viruses and small plug-ins that will not affect the operation of the system, it is possible to survive without anyone noticing. At least you should be able to get more benefits from the virtual system. Running With such a huge program, there must be various small bugs in the system itself, as long as they are small enough, they will not be noticed."

Shuai said excitedly: "This sounds very good. If we can improve the utilization rate of the virtual system, our efficiency of earning points will definitely increase!" She is a person who has benefited from the virtual system from the very beginning. , starting with her and Joe Jingting, who was only half alive, beheading the squirrel.Bai Er and Zou Yidao are stronger in themselves, and Qiao Jingting has already familiarized them with them every time they spawn monsters. Without comparison, they naturally wouldn't know how much less efficient they would be without Qiao Jingting.Therefore, she was as happy about this news as Qiao Jingting.

"I will take the time to study the virus, but the most important thing right now is to save your life." Shen Wufei's eyes flashed, "I will definitely try my best to let you... let us survive, you are probably 'Ni O', that 'savior'."

Qiao Ting was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Stop talking."

"No, I'm serious." Shen Wufei said firmly, "I have survived in the game for more than a year, and this is the only time I have a little bit of confidence in leaving the game, even if it's just a little bit. Since no one else has mastered this BUG, only you, only you have entered the soul area of ​​the game world, then you are the most different. From the perspective of probability, it must be a very small number of people who have mastered the key to things. Behind the reason for you to become this key person is the number Hundreds of millions of 'causal' interweaving calculations finally get the 'effect', why is it not someone else, why is it you, you have reached this causal point, then a larger and more complicated causal point will be produced. Everything , is both random and predestined, just like the single server and multi-server I just mentioned, the fate of a person is the product of multi-server computing, and you have been calculated to be the most important node at present, no matter how you go next, Whether you are only a cause in the calculation process as the real savior, or you are the savior itself, all the causes around you serve your result, no matter which possibility..." Shen Wufei took a deep breath, "You are very It's important, you can't die easily."

Qiao Jingting sneered: "No matter what you say, I won't die easily." As for the savior, he didn't bother to think about it. To save others, he only hoped that he and his companions could grit their teeth and survive, leave the game, and return to their families. As for more people, he couldn't save them.

Shu Ai and the other three all looked at Qiao Jingting with complicated expressions. No matter what the purpose was, they were all gathered together because of Qiao Jingting at the beginning. People are full of imagination.

"Now your life has a greater meaning, even as a carrier of viruses." Shen Wufei stood up, "Go, go to my place, and show you my works."

"What work?"

"Things to protect your life." Shen Wufei opened the door, a gust of cold wind poured into the room, he wrapped his cloak tightly, his seemingly fragile body braved the wind and snow and went out first, walking extraordinarily firm.
