King from scratch

No one knows what kind of storm a butterfly flapping its wings can create in a different world.

This is a fork in a different path.

The undead are unpopular for a reason, and the ability to manipulate souls and control death hovers on the edge of the moral bottom line—even if the moral bottom line of this world is so low.

And endowed with the ability to think mechanically...

Taking the soul of a living person out of the body and injecting it into the machine can achieve the same effect. This is not only in line with the consistent image of undead creatures, but also simpler and more rude. It is a complete shortcut.

Embers is a stalker who insists on following He Xingwen back to the kingdom. He is not interested in the negotiations to carve up the grand future territory, nor does he intend to participate in it on behalf of the undead.

He is more interested in this mysterious kingdom.

The kingdom also lived up to his expectations. He saw the origin of the world on the monument standing in the center of the city, and he was almost not blinded by it.

When He Xingwen took Adisseo to find the other party, he had to face some weird scenes - the other party was looking at the monument and crying?

He Xingwen paused, not sure if the two bloodstains on the red ghost's face were tears from the other party...

Maybe the other party changed to a new makeup on a whim?

Although the two words ghost and makeup are completely incompatible, the world is magically like this, and it is not so strange that ghosts have personal hobbies... right?

He Xingwen fell into thought, but Embers noticed their arrival first, and turned to look at them with two lines of blood and tears.

"This place is too flashy..." Embers' eyes fell on He Xingwen, the color of blood and tears became darker, and he suffered a second wave of visual impact on He Xingwen.

Embers originally thought that the surging vitality surrounding the opponent when he was outside the kingdom was amazing enough, but he didn't expect that after the opponent returned to the kingdom, this level of astonishment would escalate again, and he was almost integrated with the entire kingdom.

Embers angrily poked his eyes blind, changed his perspective to perceive the world, and finally got rid of the blinding golden light.

The pupils of the red ghost floating in the air turned into black holes, and the image became more and more strange: "This place is not suitable for undead, the vitality is too surging, and undead is suitable for places without vitality, such as the canyon of undead, which is completely made of Made of death and corpses..."

Seeing that the other party's talkative nature broke out again, He Xingwen interrupted what he would not be able to finish for a while: "I have something to ask you."

Embers closed his mouth, thought for two seconds, and became vigilant: "If you want to talk about the new order, you have to talk to the Undead Emperor, I don't care about this..."

His voice was a little softer: "Besides, it doesn't count if I say it. The entire Undead Canyon, the Undead Emperor has the final say. Otherwise, why do you think the Undead Emperor is called the Undead Emperor? Of course it is because it is appropriate. He is a thorough dictator……"

Regarding whether the Undead Emperor is a dictator, it needs to be understood in conjunction with the special ecology of the undead.

But there is no doubt that there is a strict hierarchy among the undead.

But since Embers mentioned this point, He Xingwen casually asked the question that he had never thought to understand: "So what is your relationship with the Undead Emperor?"

Emberska lowered his shell: "I won't be able to tell for a while..."

He Xingwen stared at him with a puzzled expression, suspecting that the other party was fooling him. What kind of relationship can't be explained clearly for a while?

Embers' voice was a little softer: "He is my father, I am his brother, we have our own opinions..."

You undead really know how to play, you are indeed a race that can bring the dead back to life.

He Xingwen coughed, did not dare to dig deeper, and turned the topic back to business: "The dwarf has something to talk to you about."

Embers' attention moved down and landed on the short figure at He Xingwen's feet, and suddenly realized: "I thought this was a pendant you carried with you, but it is not."

"What do you want from me? Who do you want to resurrect?" Embers said in a relaxed tone, "It's a small matter. But first, the resurrected dead have to go back to the Canyon of the Dead. His personality may change, but you You have to understand, after all, you have experienced life and death.

If it has been dead for a long time, it can only be resurrected as a skeleton. I do not guarantee that it will still be sane at that time. If it dies for too long, the soul will lose its vitality. Of course, if it died recently, it may be able to resurrect a necromancer. ..."

Seeing that the other party said a lot in just a few minutes, Adisseo, who had never seen such a battle before, interrupted him: "No, I didn't come to ask you to resurrect someone, I came to ask you Do you want to cooperate with us to study the soul field?"

Embers, who was floating in the air, stopped: "Huh?"

Adisseo patiently explained to him: "We have recently researched a new technology. This new technology has a little problem. I think the undead may have a way to solve these problems."

Embers, who didn't understand at all: "What?"

The dwarf, who couldn't explain clearly, simply took out the disc again, showed Embers the big-changing robot on the spot, and then looked at him expectantly.

Embers looked at him in blank dismay, hesitated for two seconds: "That's it?"

"You use such a torrent of energy to toss out a toy without any combat effectiveness?" Embers felt incredible about this: "It's too wasteful."

Adisseo was not shocked by his evaluation. For intelligent creatures who don't know how to forge, it's normal for them not to understand the potential of this rough toy.

"In short, I hope it can be more 'smart', able to judge obstacles, assist dwarves in forging, and even attack alone..."

Embers was at a loss: "What does this have to do with the undead and the realm of souls?"

"I hope it can think." Adisseo looked at the other party expectantly: "It can have basic logical judgment and discrimination..."

Embers suddenly realized: "Do you want to introduce a soul into this little toy?"

He glanced critically at this rough toy: "This is not very good, the workmanship of this toy is not fine at all. No soul would like such a body. If you just want a better helper, why don't you grab it?" What about some slaves? The idea of ​​having a soul in this thing sucks..."

He Xingwen, who was listening on the sidelines, was a little surprised. In this regard, Embers was unexpectedly cautious.

"No, no, I don't want to introduce a soul into it."

Embers didn't mention this, and Adisseo didn't think about it at all. He glanced at the king at the side, and quickly clarified: "The kingdom prohibits the slave trade, let alone allow such a terrible act."

"Introducing the soul into the mechanical body... This idea is too crazy." Adisseo said seriously: "You didn't understand me, I don't need to import the soul, I want it to have its own soul... No, Not necessarily a soul."

Adisseo said in a panic: "The description of having a soul is too weird, I just hope it can be smarter..."

"Does he know what he's talking about?" Embers looked at the king, suspecting that the little man's mind was not normal: "Smart is used to describe intelligent creatures, and he hopes that this is much more evil than our undead."

The scene suddenly fell silent, and Adisseo was lost in thought.

He Xingwen organized the wording: "This involves another point, independent thinking ability and self-awareness ability. If the other party does not have self-awareness, can it be classified as an intelligent creature?"

"Of course you can," Embers said decisively, "You have seen those skeletons, most of them have only awakened some remnants, but they are still undead creatures."

I made a mistake, and almost forgot that this is a world with an extremely loose definition of intelligent creatures.

They can even define Man Xing, who has no way of communicating with each other, as an intelligent creature by virtue of certain laws and intelligent behaviors of the other party, let alone a man-made product with thinking ability.

This properly belongs to intelligent creatures.

"I see!" Adisseo, who had been thinking for a while, suddenly said: "Then give him thinking, life and a new race."

Adisseo looked at He Xingwen with piercing eyes: "Your Majesty, we can create a special new race, cultivate his thinking ability, improve his self-awareness, until he is born with wisdom."

He Xingwen:?

He Xingwen, who was once again at a loss for this development, didn't pick up the words, but Embers who was on the side spoke again.

"But there is a small problem," Embers asked the most critical question: "Do you think the new race is Chinese cabbage? You can grow it if you want to? How do you plan to create a new race?"

"That's why I found you," Adisseo said, "Mages will definitely be interested in this topic, so do you want to join?"

Adisseo held out his hand to him: "Come with us to study how to create a new race."

Embers' voice suddenly rose: "It's too arrogant, you know you are meddling with God's authority, right?"

Adisseo glanced at the king beside him: "If the king allows it, why not?"

"I like your arrogance!" Embers floated to the ground and held Adisseo's outstretched hand: "But one thing must be made clear at the beginning, if you succeed in creating a new race, what are you going to do?" deal with?"

Adisseo shrugged: "If it is determined that he has self-judgment and thinking abilities, and his intelligence level is sufficient to meet the minimum standards for intelligent creatures, then he will automatically become a citizen of the democratic republic and enjoy the same rights and obligations as us."

Adisseo gestured to the stone tablet engraved with the laws of the kingdom standing next to the monument: "The laws of the kingdom guarantee this."

Embers had no other questions, he was much more excited than Adisseo: "Then let's start the first step! First..."

Emberska got out of the shell. As a novice who had never conducted practical research, he knew nothing about how to conduct subject research.

"We must first determine how the soul is composed and where the brain's thinking ability comes from..." Adisseo said enthusiastically, "What kind of brain can support the birth of consciousness in a mechanical body."

"The Undead Emperor is much more accomplished than me in this area," Embers withdrew his hand, and suddenly shook it up and down twice: "By the way, I can ask him to help!"

He Xingwen, who was dumbfounded watching the miraculous direction of this conversation, couldn't hold back, and uttered a monosyllabic puzzle: "Ah?"

The white mist gradually rose and dissipated in the air because of the special nature of the kingdom.

"Oh, it's not convenient for him to come in here. Later, I'll ask a skeleton to talk to him outside the kingdom's territory." Emboss didn't think it was too much for him to call out the undead emperor at all. , he explained casually, and concentrated on communicating with the Undead Emperor.

Adisseo appreciated the other party's attitude towards this subject, and waited with great anticipation for Embers to finish communicating with the Undead Emperor.

He Xingwen felt that he was probably the only normal person among the intelligent creatures present.

Although I don't know how the problem went from how to develop mechanical intelligence to how to create a machine-intelligent race...

But in the end did not come to another fork in the road of fate.

Today is also a peaceful and beautiful day for the world... shit.

Although the bottom line of morality has been kept and there is no crisis of destruction, this group of people will not really give him any intelligent life in the future, will they?

He Xingwen subconsciously glanced at He Tong.

He Tong showed a smile: "Don't you think this is very interesting?"

The two people who devoted themselves to the research topic obviously forgot the existence of He Xingwen long ago.

He Xingwen simply took He Tong out and left here.

He Tong said unhurriedly: "They plan to create a kind of mechanical life, which is far beyond what the mechanical army of the Dwarf Kingdom could do."

If they could, the mechanical armies of the dwarves would become real armies, comparable to the undead.

Although Adisseo hasn't clearly recognized this point - the subject he proposed, the new race he tried to create, were undead creatures.

Artificial, undead creatures.

Before this project was successful, it was just a topic that sounded very unimaginable, just like the "building a new world with the continent as the core" proposed by Nubida at that meeting. Before actually building this new world, It's also just a proposal.

A crazy proposal that makes people flock to carve up the whole new world together.

He Xingwen can leave those negotiations in the other world to Zhe, but he can't leave the conversations that happened on earth to other people.

The long-lost conversation using the computer screen started again.

This time He Xingwen faced not only Shao Ming, but also a human team of all colors and races that filled the entire conference room and represented the interests of the entire earth.

He Xingwen has not paid too much attention to the exchange of interests between Huaguo and other countries regarding the "holographic game", but judging from the scene in front of him, after more than two years of wrangling, they finally reached an agreement to sit together and face the situation together. Opportunities and challenges for human beings on Earth.

Of course, it is hard to say whether this has a direct relationship with the crazy proposal made by Nubida.

But just as all the races on the continent revel in this, it is hard not to be moved by the earth, which maintains a close connection with the other world.

"Before officially starting this dialogue..." Shao Ming, as the person who had the most contact with His Majesty the King, was honored to be the moderator of this dialogue: "Hua's same-sex bill was just passed in the early morning of this morning."

He pushed two small red books onto the table: "One is reserved for you."

Under everyone's gaze, the red book disappeared from their eyes.

He Xingwen glanced at He Tong.

He Tong opened the marriage certificate and showed He Xingwen the inside page, on which were written the names of His Majesty the King and He Tong.

He Xingwen: ...What kind of procedure would allow such a strange name as "His Majesty the King" to appear on the marriage certificate?

He Tong didn't have so many problems. He liked it very much. He showed He Xingwen these two notebooks, then included them in the data, and hid them in the safest place together with the previous memories.

After the red notebook disappeared, the cursor on the computer screen moved slightly, and words appeared.

"I love so much."

After this little episode, the conversation really begins.

"We need to have a closer connection with the other world," Shao Ming said, "and we are sure that this is a good thing for us and the other world."

The text slowly emerged.

"If you haven't fallen into madness, you should be clear that the reason why it exists in the form of a game is to protect the earth's civilization. There is no need to discuss the fact that earth humans use their own bodies to enter another world, because it is absolutely impossible."

"Then, the flora and fauna from another world are sent back to Earth..."

"Not for discussion."

"Dead things that don't include life?"

"It can be discussed."

"The other world has a world projection, what about the earth? Can we explore the world projection corresponding to the earth?"

"The recovery of the earth's aura is in its infancy. For the earth, world projection is an extremely distant topic. If you are interested, you can estimate how long it takes for a planet to be born, and so on. How long does it take for the earth's world projection to be born. "

It has taken a total of about 40 billion years from the birth of the earth to the present. If it is substituted into the world projection, let alone the lifetime. After 40 billion years, whether human civilization will exist or not is another matter.

"Then how do we get the benefits we deserve from the new world with the continent at its core?"

"If you turn your attention back to the game, you will be able to understand how to get the benefits you deserve. The expansion of the game map, the increase of NPCs, and the emergence of new races all mean that there is room for further player strength. This That’s what’s closely connected to you.”

"We need further cooperation with the different world, including scientific research on the Safa Federation. The existence of the different world itself is the greatest treasure. The ecological environment, social composition, and various civilizations of the different world are completely different from the earth. It is worthy of our further research.”

"..."

He Xingwen only listened to one ear, and He Tong was responsible for answering the endless questions. It took them some time to reach an agreement.

It was a very long basic agreement, covering a comprehensive field of cooperation as well as the rights and obligations of both parties between the different world and the earth.

That's right, the partners are different worlds and the earth, not His Majesty the King and Huaguo. His Majesty the King can only be regarded as a witness and a middleman.

In a sense, he is also responsible for ensuring the smooth progress of the cooperation between the two parties, and ensuring that everything is back on track when one party breaks the rules.

The signing of this agreement marks the end of the negotiations within the mainland, and the frenzied move to carve up the unformed new world is finally over.

All the races on the continent have reached an agreement and adopted a new continent order centered on peaceful coexistence and open research.

And this new order has a place for all the races involved in the discussion.

The emergence of this new continental order also means that the continent of the weak and the strong has entered a brand new era.

The age of kingdoms, or the age of science.

After the negotiations came to an end, His Majesty the King issued a notice to all players through his account, announcing that the game will undergo a major update.

forum.

"Without holographic games to play, I'm going to be bored to death"

[Old Landlord: On the first floor, post the notice just released by His Majesty the King.

His Majesty the King v: The holographic game is about to undergo a large-scale update. The update time is scheduled from the early morning of May 5.27th to the early morning of May 5.30th. During the game update period, the game will not be able to log in. Please be prepared and go offline in the safe area before the early morning of the 27th to avoid equipment loss.

Game update content: the adjustment of the relationship between various forces on the mainland, new maps, new occupations and new game plots - the road of science will be grandly launched.

Please look forward to it. 】

[The road to science?The new occupation will not be a great scientist, will it? 】

[The next version is the rise of scientists? 】

[I just said that so many npcs appearing in the ruins must be related to the Salfa Federation! 】

[The Salfa Federation has collapsed like that, can they restore science? 】

[The name of the plot is Road to Science, maybe it just shifts the focus of the plot to science. 】

【so!Can players finally copy real-life inventions? 】

[Although both are science, the two are completely different, right? You haven't learned from the vehicles that players have researched themselves?That thing can move, which is enough to prove that the game does not talk about science at all. 】

【Then what kind of scientific path...】

【Wait, is this the point?The point is obviously that it is the 21st century, how can there be games that cannot be launched during the three-day update period? 】

[Your Majesty the King, please withdraw from the group, shame on you! 】

[Fuck!Can't play the game for three days?Is it too much? 】

【Wait, think about it carefully. Doesn't this mean that I can take three days off? 】

[I see that the trending search has already exploded, and they are all strongly demanding to shorten the update time...]

[Looking up at the title of the post, it's so apt. 】

[Three days? !Is this for players to force their internet addiction? 】

【Why does this update take so long?Still can't play during the update?Isn't it just a normal version update?It's not like it hasn't been done before, isn't the update completed quietly? 】

The previous updates that were used to perfunctory the players were not so much completed quietly, as they were just used to perfuse the players to explain some small changes in the different world.

But this time it's a big change.

The different world needs a little time to adjust and adapt to the new order.

Each race also needs a little time to train how to get in touch with players, and how to have a more in-depth interaction with players in a special way, that is, in line with the concept of the game.
