Abyss game

"Silkworm..." Shen Wufei looked at the mechanized soldier in horror, but there was a most distinctive consciousness living in it.

"Hahahaha." Silkworm laughed happily, "I lied to you, I see you were scared."

Everyone looked at him suspiciously, not daring to take it lightly.

All the mechanical soldiers put away their weapons and opened a passage leading directly to where the silkworm was standing.

Several people looked at each other, but it was Qiao Jingting who took the first step and walked towards the silkworm.

Sure enough, the mechanical corps didn't move, even though they kept aiming from the corner of their eyes.

Zou Yidao cried in his heart: "What's the situation now? Is this silkworm normal or crazy?"

Shen Wufei was also a little anxious: "Ghost knows, I can only take one step at a time."

The mechanical soldiers were very tall, close to two meters in height. When Silkworm spoke in that youthful voice but had to look down at them, everyone felt a sense of disobedience.

Silkworm said seriously: "Humans, I would like to extend my highest thanks to you, thank you for successfully awakening my initial program. You are really amazing to be able to do all this while fighting against the entire mechanical city .You not only rescued me, but also the mechanical city, and even prevented the future of human beings being killed by robots."

"...Uh, you're welcome?" Shen Wufei said hesitantly, "Is there anything else you need us to do?"

If the silkworm has really changed back to its original form, then the only reason why they did not receive the reminder to complete the task may be that the silkworm still has a new task assignment. When entering the game, the system also reminded them that they must rescue the silkworm first. , the silkworm will tell them what to do next.No matter what, they will not take this robot lightly, they are ready to fight to the death at any time.

Silkworm nodded: "Yes, I have a request, I hope you can help me complete it."

"You said."

"Those two humans who are going to blow up my mainframe, I hope you can help me catch them back."

"You have so many mechanical soldiers, why don't you catch them yourself?"

"My mainframe was damaged, and the mechanical soldiers also lost a lot... Moreover, your abilities seem to be more suitable for dealing with them."

Shen Wufei thought for a while: "What benefits do we have?"

"I will give you unexpected good things."

Shen Wufei was a little moved, but looking at the others, the injuries ranged from mild to severe. Except for him, everyone was intact, and their protective shields were all broken, and their usable weapons were also exhausted. Most importantly, everyone was hungry again. Tired again, it's time to rest.

Others also hesitated.

Zou Yidao took out a cigarette, lit one and put it in his mouth, exhaled the smoke ring soothingly, and looked at Qiao Jingting: "You decide, captain."

Silkworm's neck turned to Qiao Jingting: "Captain? Interesting..."

Qiao Jingting let out a long breath. Although he was also curious about what silkworms could give them, they were really not suitable for fighting now. 5 vs. 2 seemed to have a good chance of winning, but those two were quite strong. Losing anyone is unacceptable to him, he said: "Can we refuse?"

"Of course, it's just a... request."

"Forget it, I've run out of strength."

"Unfortunately, you could have been rewarded."

Shu Ai calmed down and said, "Compared with rewards, it's more important to go back alive."

Bai Er also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Okay." Silkworm's voice was a little disappointed.

Soon, they received a system notification: Congratulations to the Jinglei team for completing the M-level hunting mission—Mechanical City. The mission rewards 8000 points. If all members survived, the reward points are 2000.Get Mech City Limited Items...

A few people didn't bother to look at the reward items at the back, and the reward points alone made them excited.The task rewards 10000 points, each person gets 2000 points, plus they killed so many mechanical soldiers, each person got an average of nearly 5000 points in this instance!

Zou Yidao laughed out loud, and Qiao Jingting put his arms around Bai Er's neck and shook it vigorously: "This time you are the first one! Hahahaha."

A thin layer of red appeared on Bai You's translucent face.

Silkworm tilted his head and looked at them: "What are you happy about?"

Shen Wufei coughed lightly: "Well, we are very happy to see that you have returned to normal."

Silkworm said: "Thank you, I am also very happy. In order to express my gratitude to you, do you have any requirements? I will try my best to meet them."

Shen Wufei blinked and had an idea: "Can you give me some suggestions for improving my mechanical spider?"

"can."

"Can I see the design drawings of the mechanical soldiers?"

"can."

"Can I visit your lathe?"

"can."

Shen Wufei flushed with excitement: "That's great, thank you."

"Would you like to see it now?"

"We want to take a rest first." Qiao Jingting said.

"Okay." Silkworm pointed to a mechanical soldier, "It will take you to the lounge."

Several people followed the mechanical soldiers to the exit.

Silkworm stopped them from behind: "When you have rested, you must come to me. I have some questions to ask you."

"Ok."

Shu Ai whispered: "Is it safe?"

"Don't worry, the mission is over, we are not in any danger in this dungeon now." Shen Wufei was still too excited, "I will soon be able to see the design drawings of advanced artificial intelligence robots, and their lathes, for sure Much more advanced than mine."

"I just want to eat, I'm so hungry." Qiao Jingting said weakly, clutching his deflated stomach.

"You have the nerve to call yourself hungry." Zou Yidao mocked.

"I yelled, can you bite me?"

"You haven't seen the teeth of snapping turtles, have you?" Zou Yidao opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of inhuman sharp teeth.

Joe gave him a blank look in shock.

When they came to the lounge, they opened the platform as soon as the door was closed. Seeing the familiar omnipotent platform, they were so moved that they wanted to cry, so they quickly bought a bunch of food and started to feast on it.

-

Qiao Jingting lay on the sofa, stroking her bulging stomach, staring blankly at the ceiling, not wanting to move.

Every time there was danger, he felt like he was in a dream. He didn't know how many times he woke up with the nightmare of himself or his companion being killed, so he was always worried that their life was just a dream.

Of course, he hopes that entering this game itself is a dream. After waking up, they have met each other before, each living an ordinary life, away from blood and killing...

"With these 5000 points, maybe you can really survive in the ring." Zou Yidao suddenly said casually.

Qiao Jingting smiled: "I told you, what did I do before?"

Several people did not speak.

"In the ring, I haven't lost for a long time, and it's the same this time, I never think I'm going to lose." Qiao Jingting licked the corner of his mouth, "If I think I'm going to lose before I fight, then I'll give you a spanking , can’t even doubt.”

"Your heart is really big." Zou Yidao patted Qiao Jingting's shoulder, "I admire you for that."

"uh-huh."

Zou Yidao suddenly hit his chest: "Big chest means big heart, hahahaha."

Qiao Jingting jumped up from the sofa, rushed forward and wrestled with Zou Yidao, the two of them were like naughty boys rolling in the mud, they had no tricks and routines, and their main purpose was to tease each other.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble." Shen Wufei smiled, "It's the regular meeting, the task summary meeting."

Qiao Jingting supported his stomach and sat back on the sofa: "Oh, it's so uncomfortable."

Shu Ai scolded, "You deserve it for the fights when you're full."

Shen Wufei said: "In addition to the points, what other items did you get?"

Several people looked at each other, Zou Yidao said: "I got a drone."

Shu Ai said: "I got a high-voltage stun gun."

"Very good, Jingting, the reward items should be with you, right?"

"Yes." Qiao Jingting glanced at the clearance rewards for this mission, and took them out one by one, "A mechanical arm, an S-level weapon, a piece of Lix05 alloy, an S-level metal, and three S-level artificial intelligence chips .”

"Wow!" Shen Wufei shouted, "They are all good things!"

Zou Yidao took a fancy to the mechanical arm at a glance. He picked it up and put it on his arm. The mechanical arm was made of deformable memory metal. The moment he put it on, the bayonet automatically adjusted its size and adapted to his body. Arm, the upper part of the mechanical arm is equipped with a gun chamber, and the lower part is equipped with a grenade launcher.Zou Yidao pressed a button, and the metal scales on the mechanical arm stood up, turning into a mace. Another button was pressed, and a Hidden Blade popped out of the mechanical arm. The hidden sword is longer and thinner than what Zou Yidao is currently equipped with, and it also uses Lix05 alloy, which is much better than his own.Zou Yidao slapped his thigh: "Good stuff!"

"That's right, it's just right for Brother Dao." Shu Ai clapped her hands.

Qiao Jingting looked at the piece of metal, and its parameters and properties appeared in front of his eyes. It can withstand thousands of degrees of high temperature without deformation, and its hardness is 7 times that of tungsten steel. prepare.

Shen Wufei said: "This Lix05 alloy is indeed a good thing. I will design a mace for you according to your usage habits when you go back. You should not need to get a new one for a long time."

Qiao Jingting nodded with a smile.

"If there are any materials left, I will replace Brother Dao's other Hidden Blade with this metal."

Zou Yidao chuckled: "It doesn't matter if you change it or not, this mechanical arm is enough for me."

Shen Wufei picked up the 3 chips and pressed them on his chest with joy, "The rewards this time are all too practical, unlike the last time in the 'King of the Sea Demon' dungeon, things are a bit tasteless."

"The Sea Demon King's teeth are very useful for making throwing knives. They are light and thin." Bai Er said, "The acceleration boots are also good."

"Well, in short, whether it's point rewards or item rewards this time, it's better than the dungeon of the 'King of the Sea Demon'." Shen Wufei put the chip into the warehouse, "and the gifts are all S-level items, obviously these two dungeons They are all M-rated, which is really strange, why is there such a difference?"

"Why do you still think about why you gave me something good? It's enough to be happy." Zou Yidao fondled his mechanical arm. The mechanical arm was silver and white, and its structure was cold and rigid. After wearing it, it looked like a future soldier. No wonder he couldn't put it down.

Shen Wufei shrugged: "Yes, and besides, I can go to Silkworm to ask a lot of things and gain a lot of knowledge." He said happily, "In the future, I may often return to this dungeon, and I even want to use some things that Silkworm doesn't have. He exchanged an assembly line for the production of our own mechanical soldiers."

Several people's eyes lit up: "Will he agree?"

"There are so many good things in the system platform, there are always silkworms that don't have them. When I see him later, I will check his tone to see if there is anything he is interested in. Let's go all out and spend more points. As long as we can With an assembly line, the output and quality of our mechanical spiders will greatly increase!"

---

They rested overnight, and after dawn the next day, they went to the main control room to look for silkworms.

The traces of yesterday's fierce battle have been completely erased, the main control room is intact, and there are hard-working robots sitting in front of the computers in circles. Silkworm has changed his body again - a server-type robot with feminine curves. Of course, It's still metal.

Zou Yidao touched his chin with interest: "Silkworm, are you a man or a woman?"

"Robots have no gender."

Shen Wufei said: "Robots don't have gender, but their appearance has gender, and you have self-awareness. Have you never thought about gender?"

Silkworm was silent for a while: "It seems that gender is not important to me. However, I prefer the appearance of a man. This body is temporary and has higher flexibility."

"Then you are a man." Qiao Jingting said with certainty.

Silkworm was noncommittal and invited them into the meeting room.

Before the few people were seated, Silkworm asked straightforwardly, "Qiao Jingting."

"Ok?"

"I have a strange memory about you."

"I?"

"After my initial program was awakened, I remember talking to you in a dark space."

"Uh..." Qiao Jingting cried out in his heart, "Wufei, why does the silkworm have the memory of me meeting him in the virtual system?"

"It's a little complicated, I'll explain it to you later." Shen Wufei replied, "Just play dumb."

Silkworm looked at Qiao Jingting, waiting for his answer.

"I don't know either." Qiao Jingting scratched his hair, "What kind of dark place, are you dreaming?"

"Dreams are a manifestation of the cerebral cortex that is still active after the human consciousness is dormant. According to the knowledge and imagination of the person's back, my brain is man-made. I don't dream. All my memories are real. " Silkworm stared straight at Qiao Jingting, "We must have talked somewhere."

Silkworm's rigid metal eyes seemed to be a bit aggressive.

Qiao Jingting shrugged: "I really don't know what you are talking about. We are fighting and killing as soon as we meet. How can we have time to talk in a dark place?"

Silkworm looked at him again for a while: "Okay, I will study carefully what happened."

"Maybe you can really dream." Shen Wufei said, "After all, you are a super advanced humanoid artificial intelligence."

"In theory, when I sleep, all my functions should be in a dormant state. If I can really dream, it will be another milestone in the advancement of artificial intelligence technology. I will investigate clearly."

Shen Wufei said expectantly: "Silkworm, can you show me the lathe?"

"Let's go."

"Let's not go, we can't see it anyway." Qiao said in shock.

"You can rest here, or you can stroll around," Silkworm said.

"Okay, we can do whatever we want." Zou Yidao waved his hand.

Silkworm and Shen Wufei walked out of the meeting room, and Qiao Jingting let out a sigh of relief: "I always feel that the robot sees through me. This feeling is really uncomfortable."

Shu Ai said: "It's very possible, but even if he knows you're lying, there's nothing he can do about it."

After a while, Shen Wufei's voice sounded: "The silkworm in the virtual system is a deleted reference to the silkworm. It's easy to understand if you treat the silkworm as an object, not a person. The current silkworm has not been referenced for a long time. , it has always been that crazy silkworm controlling the mechanical city, and the system temporarily deleted the references of the previous silkworm in order to free up memory, and now that this silkworm is back, his references will naturally be restored." Shen Wufei said here in one breath , paused, and continued, "As I said before, deleting the reference does not mean that the data is completely deleted. When the reference is restored, it will naturally bring back all the memory in the virtual system."

"Understood, tell me, does silkworm know that I'm lying?" Qiao said in shock.

"Of course I know. Even I can judge whether a person is lying through micro-expressions, tone of voice, gestures, wording, etc., with an accuracy rate of over 85%. Do you think silkworms, as a high-precision computer, can't tell?"

"That……"

"It's okay, he can't force us, we can't tell anyone, or the machine."

"Of course, I just find it weird." Qiao Jingting frowned, "Something I encountered in the virtual system can actually bring that memory back into the game."

"What's so strange about this, don't you bring back your memories every time? Silkworm also has memories, of course he can. But this incident also made me think about the reason why you entered that virtual system again. I think, maybe... ..."

Several people waited for a long time, but they didn't wait for Shen Wufei's answer.

Shen Wufei said: "Let me think about it, I'm starting to visit the lathe."

Qiao Jingting crossed his legs: "What about us? What are we doing?"

Bai Er said, "Let's distribute the points properly."

"Yes." Qiao Jingting grinned and said, "It can be strengthened."

At the end of each battle, the happiest and most fulfilling moment is just this moment—a chance to become stronger with flesh and blood!
