King from scratch

reality.

Six hours after He Shu and Du Ming reported the dialogue process to their superiors, they ended their confinement, were taken out of their respective small rooms, and entered the conference hall.

The meeting hall is full of old acquaintances. Of course, as the team leader, Wu Xing is not here.

"This is the end of the report on His Majesty the King and the latest progress of the 'holographic game'. Next, let's talk about whether we want to further cooperate with His Majesty the King, and the depth of the cooperation, starting with Director Cheng on the left."

The appearance of He Shu and Du Ming did not cause any disturbance. They quietly sat in their seats and listened to other people's speeches.

Director Cheng stood up, went to the stage and pasted a few pages of paper on the blackboard - this simple conference hall does not have the function of a projector.

"I agree."

The other party pointed to the pieces of paper and said, "According to the previous profile of His Majesty the King by the Special Investigation Bureau, if we separate human beings from the system and analyze His Majesty the King as a Chinese, I think there is no doubt about it, from the beginning to the end. Now, he is conveying kindness to us..."

He patted the blackboard, and the blackboard made a loud rustling sound.

"He is from China!"

Someone disagreed with his point of view: "I agree with you that he has been conveying goodwill, but because the other party is from Hua, it is very unreasonable to conclude that he will not harm the national interest. "

"I agree that we lack effective constraints on each other. At this point, it is not a good sign to trust the other party's character too much."

"The paragraph in He Shu's report is correct. Since it cannot form effective constraints, why not let interests become the basis for our cooperation?"

"No matter what his real identity is on Earth, you have already seen one thing with your own eyes. In that world, he is the king. This is the basis of our equal cooperation."

"First of all, we can confirm that so far, there is no other way to enter the different world except the other party. Secondly, we can confirm that he has far more advanced technology than the earth. Finally, we can confirm that he is in Huaguo. With a good intention to cooperate, based on the above three points, there is no need to continue the discussion on whether to cooperate further."

"It's not if, it's a matter of having to cooperate further."

"The Kingdom of Akon is about to make a move on the 'holographic game' recently. If we hadn't always been stricter in this aspect, the current situation would not be so calm."

"It's a very risky opportunity, but we've got to take it."

So far, they have reached a consensus on this point.

Therefore, the next question became the detailed terms of further cooperation, because all aspects needed to be considered, resulting in the continuous extension of the meeting time, so that He Shu could not give He Xingwen an answer in a short time.

Compared with the final conclusion drawn lightly by the system, a huge organization composed of human beings needs more time to coordinate, operate and obtain permission. It is not until those scattered voices converge into a unified voice that this huge organization fully wakes up. when.

The number of dwarves once made He Xingwen worry that the main city would not be able to accommodate so many people—if the dwarves had to go to Novice Village because they had no place to live, the difficulty of the problem would rise sharply.

The lessons of the demons are still in sight. Demons can be indifferent to the death of their own kind, but dwarves cannot.

If it is not handled properly, it will turn into a bloody feud.

Fortunately, the worst did not happen. Before the vacant house was filled with people, two hundred dwarves successfully settled the accommodation problem.

The main city was very lively because of the appearance of dwarves, and He Xingwen successfully corrected his misunderstanding of the dwarf race.

Stubborn, loud, scheming, no grudges, straight-hearted, optimistic, and even though the wound is not healed, he has already started to move towards the factory.

After being rejected by Adisseo King to share the factory, a group of dwarves squatted at the gate of the factory, pointing at it and berating Fang Qiu.

Compared with them, Adisseo King is definitely a strange flower among the dwarves.

If what He Xingwen first met was not Adisseo King, but other dwarves...

He Xingwen thought for two seconds, and felt that the greatest possibility was that the dwarves would not have any further contact with the kingdom.

After meeting the expedition team, the other party would leave the Land of Fallen God without looking back, instead of pretending to be trapped and follow the expedition team into the kingdom.

"The encounters in life are really amazing," He Xingwen sighed: "You never know what the next chocolate will taste like."

System: "Forrest Gump?"

"In fact, all the movies you know and don't know are stored in my database as basic knowledge," the system: "I mean, I've seen them."

He Xing was puzzled: "It is stored in the database, so it is considered to have been seen?"

The system paused for a few seconds: "In fact, this is part of... civilization created by humans because of the low efficiency of receiving information."

"To me, it's inefficient and meaningless to appreciate movies in a human way."

He Xingwen chose option one in the altar, and dozens of npcs emerged from the golden light.

"I can completely understand. After all, for you, you already know the taste of the next chocolate."

The npcs went to all parts of the kingdom, blending in with the people of the kingdom, completely ignoring the dwarves who watched the humans appearing out of thin air with horror on their faces.

"But I never know what the next chocolate you bring will taste like."

He Xingwen withdrew his hand that pushed the altar away, the church door closed again, and the golden light scattered all over the ground disappeared.

"Then you must have analyzed the reason for this situation?"

He Xingwen turned his head and saw the light and shadow of the player appearing next to the altar when he "logged online".

He stopped and was about to leave, and he had a very accurate judgment on the identity of the opponent - after all, there were only two players offline in the main city.

He Xingwen glanced at the expressions of the dwarves watching from the sidelines. It seems that the world view has been repeatedly ravaged, and finally smashed into slag. The expression shows bewilderment, helplessness and weakness.

The system was silent for a few seconds: "I didn't deliberately conceal it, but I don't think it is a good choice to share these unconfirmed conclusions with you at this moment."

He Xingwen understood in seconds: "These conclusions are bad?"

The system emphasized the tone: "Very bad."

He Xingwen couldn't help laughing. This kind of intentionally emphatic expression is very rare for the system, so that it's hard for He Xingwen not to have a bad taste.

He said thoughtfully: "For example, the reason why I failed in the parallel world is because you betrayed me?"

The scene suddenly froze.

The voice of the dwarf's voice continued, and the wind caressed everything, and it was not this world that was frozen.It is the world where the system resides in He Xingwen's mind.

He Shu didn't eavesdrop on purpose - he also couldn't eavesdrop on the king's conversation in the kingdom under He Xingwen's control.

It just so happened that after he logged into the game and spent the loading page of the starry sky, those words floated into his ears.

"Betrayal?" The word is too sensitive, so that He Shu extended countless guesses in an instant.

His Majesty the King is the key object of their research and analysis. Strictly speaking, His Majesty the King is composed of two individuals, a purely ordinary person and a "system" beyond the definition of the existing technology on the earth.

They can define pure ordinary people through what His Majesty the King does, but they cannot define the undefinable existence through what His Majesty the King does.

So far, they still don't know what kind of existence that so-called "system" is, an alien creature?Another life form?Or is it the pioneer of the alien invasion of the earth?

Unable to define the existence of the other party, let alone know the process of communication between the other party and His Majesty the King, and ignorance of the other party's purpose, let them turn their eyes to the field that imagination can cover when they cannot stop their sights on science ——In novels and other film and television works.

In film and television works with novels as the main carrier, the system is mostly a loyal and non-existent background board, but this does not alleviate their fear of the "system".

After all, reality and fiction cannot overlap.

It's just that when they couldn't confirm how closely the "system" was connected with His Majesty the King, they didn't rashly bring up this topic with His Majesty the King to explore the other party's support.

That would only arouse strong resistance from His Majesty the King, and even lead to the termination of cooperation.

But...any human being who knows the existence of the "system" finds it difficult not to think about the relationship between the "system" and His Majesty the King.

loyalty?

It is an intelligent creature with an unknown purpose and an unknown form of existence. It seems that when Huaguo was preparing to accept cooperation with His Majesty the King on the different world, what he thought was definitely not how to improve the happiness index of people's lives in the different world, but how to learn from the different world. Gain greater benefits in general.

The first contact between unknown creatures, if you exclude the benefits, don't expect to find anything else.

The reason why the "system" chooses His Majesty the King among the billions of earth creatures is also impossible to improve the life happiness index of the earth people.

Ordinary people have the right not to recognize the essence, but the SBI does not.

Eliminate beautiful imaginations and unrealistic guesses, and take a pessimistic attitude towards everything on a reasonable basis, which is what they should do.

When someone is excited about the emergence of holographic games, someone needs to think rationally about the pros and cons behind it.

The premise of betrayal is trust.

There is trust between them?Or is it that His Majesty the King unilaterally believes that there is trust between them?

He Shu kept silent objectively, waiting for the other party to continue the conversation or start a new conversation with him.

He Xingwen felt the suddenly frozen silence, as if he opened up an existence that shouldn't be opened, exposing the turbulent undercurrents under the fragile trust between them.

Therefore, the system has been thinking about this problem.

He Xingwen ended the unbearable silence.

"It's not difficult to guess." He Xingwen said: "But the reason I mentioned it is because I'm sure you can rule out this possibility."

System: "It is the most likely guess."

He Xingwen glanced at He Shu who was engrossed in it, and said firmly, "It's not."

The conversation stopped here, and He Xingwen turned his attention to He Shu: "Are you finished discussing?"

"For various reasons, the discussion process was a bit long, but in the end we reached an agreement."

He Xingwen glanced at the altar, but didn't see another player who was following him before: "There is another player, is he not online?"

"Are you sure that the conversation between just the two of us is valid? Does this comply with your regulations?"

He wrote without changing his expression: "Obviously, if an agreement is reached, it is not against the rules for me to communicate with you alone."

He Xingwen didn't quite believe his explanation. He was very clear about the SBI's attitude towards him, and he didn't think that the deepening of cooperation would change their attitude.

System: "I think this is a way for them to express their goodwill. After all, you are about to become 'one of your own', aren't you?"

"Of course, another part of the reason is that this is a temptation."

"In this case, let's continue." He Xingwen went straight to the point: "About the specific details of further cooperation?"

"We have compiled it into a document, right where you are familiar..."

He Xingwen raised a question mark: "Organized into a document? How many pages are there?"

"103 pages, not including appendices."

There was silence for a few seconds.

He Xingwen: As expected of you, you actually prepared a contract?

The system completed the process of receiving the file, reading the file, and drawing a conclusion within a few seconds of silence: "Very rigorous, but meaningless."

"Because it is not binding, it loses the meaning of existence. Its only function is to provide weak psychological comfort to the partners."

He Xingwen coughed.

The system aborts harsh evaluations.

He Xingwen considered the appropriate vocabulary and said, "The contract is quite thick, so... what are your requirements?"

He Shu: "I want to confirm first, the kingdom's next plan?"

"Expand, develop."

"For the purpose of aggression?"

"For the purpose of civilization exchange."

He Shu paused for a few seconds: "Is this your idea? Or..."

Some people always feel that between the system and He Xingwen, it is the system that controls all of this.

He Xingwen didn't necessarily mean to persuade the other party, but this idea was obviously not correct.

"my thoughts."

He Shu is not good at communication. In order to allow him to complete this conversation, the Special Bureau of Investigation gave him emergency special training, so he restrained the urge to ask questions.

"Very peaceful, very humanitarian thought."

This sentence sounds like saying that he is stupid, no, it cannot be said that he is stupid, but it is saying that he is stupid.

He Shu didn't give He Xingwen too much time to react, and continued: "We hope that we can get a separate 'inside test quota', get limited rights to act within the kingdom, and get rewards from the kingdom when exploring outside the kingdom. support..."

This passage is a bit long. When He Shu was still making demands, the system said directly to He Xingwen, "They agreed."

He Xingwen: "What?"

He Shu's words stopped abruptly.

His eyes fell on He Xingwen, and he realized that He Xingwen was talking to the system.

"They are willing to help you build a school." The system said: "The rest are just some lions who are used to test and bargain. You don't need to waste time on this."

The SBI really didn't understand the system at all.

They are groping and testing to what extent this existence that cannot be defined by science can do.

He Xingwen looked up, and met He Shu's fixed gaze.

He Xingwen didn't mind giving them some friendly warnings: "You don't know anything about my companions."

He Shu was very surprised that the other party would take the initiative to mention the "system", and even prepared to popularize science for them. Just like His Majesty the King spared no effort to keep his true identity secret, the system's capabilities are also worthy of no spare effort to keep secret—this is The opponent's greatest reliance.

"He is an intelligent creature," He Xingwen said, "it is an upgraded version of the super AI that humans can understand."

"I suggest that you infinitely magnify his thinking and computing power, so as to avoid this unnecessary temptation from happening again."

"I have almost heard your request, so your..." return?Equivalent exchange?

He Xingwen stopped talking and thought of suitable words to make this naked exchange of interests less naked. This is somewhat difficult, because it is essentially an exchange of interests.

During He Xingwen's brief pause, He Shu took over his words: "The proposal on the 'Different World Investigation and Development Team' is being reviewed and voted on, and after the composition and responsibilities of the team are determined, a letter of appointment will be issued to you. "

He Xingwen repeated the word: "Different World Investigation and Development Team?"

"This is the full name. It leads and commands other departments under it, including but not limited to armed forces, propaganda teams, infrastructure construction, etc..."

It seems that their meeting not only prepared a 103-page contract, but also completed the follow-up arrangements for the development and construction of the different world...

He Xingwen was not interested in the title of the post on the appointment letter, after all, this could not change the substantive issues between the Kingdom and the Hua Kingdom.

But objectively speaking, this is He Xingwen's first official job.

"So, when will it be approved and voted on, it depends on our conversation?"

He Shu hesitated for two seconds between affirmation and tactful affirmation: "It doesn't just depend on this conversation."

He looked at He Xingwen: "It also depends on the content of our cooperation."

He Xingwen entered the topic: "Actually, I am preparing to build a school."

He Shu: "School?"

He glanced at the dwarves running around in the kingdom, and realized another point - the kingdom never stands still.When they were discussing the content and details of the cooperation, the kingdom had undergone tremendous changes and updated their understanding of the kingdom.

"The dwarves will be responsible for the planning, design, and construction, but I hope it can be completed as soon as possible, so..." He Xingwen looked at the other party: "A limited number of 'inside test places'."

"And, if you don't work, you won't eat. Use work in exchange for the daily necessities and other supplies of these 'inside test places'."

"A very fair offer."

He Shu once again confirmed the goodwill of the other party. This request separated the identities of these "inside test quotas" from the people of the kingdom, and confirmed an equal cooperative relationship.

On the premise that the other party has the initiative and advantages, they open up the kingdom and the different world to them almost in an attitude of giving in.

Of course, they will soon discover that the other party not only opened the kingdom to them, but also opened the kingdom to other civilizations in other worlds.

But right now, He Shu knew nothing about it.

He continued, "But the Kingdom doesn't seem to need a school?"

He Xingwen looked at him and wrote lightly, "This is a magic school."

"You mean, the school that teaches how to use ether?" He Shu's first reaction was: "School teacher?"

"The next video will talk about mages." He Xingwen reminded the other party: "You can watch it yourself and draw your own conclusions."

"By the way, I hope you haven't forgotten the basis of our cooperation."

"Attention and popularity?"

"Yes," He Xingwen said: "In fact, the attention that can be obtained from a country is limited, and the objective number limit limits the maximum attention that I can obtain."

He Shu became serious for a second: "Will you open the holographic game to foreign countries?"

"For now, no. There are already enough places for the internal test."

He Xingwen said: "However, in the era when the recovery of spiritual energy has officially kicked off, it is not in line with..."

He Xingwen considered the vocabulary: "Humanitarian spirit, isn't it?"

He Shu began to suspect that the other party might be a Holy Mother.

Under such pure interests, consider the humanitarian spirit?

"At this stage, I hope you will work hard to get enough attention for this series of videos in other countries."

He Shu's attention was so focused on the explosive news that the public beta would not be limited to Huaguo that he ignored the deep meaning behind the fact that He Xingwen cared more about the popularity than he imagined.

"Humanitarianism..."

He Shu repeated the word: "This is a very important decision. Are you sure that the influx of global players will not cause chaos to your kingdom or even the world?"

He Xingwen's attitude towards this is very indifferent: "This is a question I should consider."

He Shu resisted the urge to further persuade the other party: "How long is it until the public beta?"

System: "According to the speed of the kingdom's upgrade and Huaguo's research on the holographic game cabin map, this will not become a reality in a short time."

He Xingwen answered his question simply: "Longer than you think."

"You are not a qualified conversation partner," He Xingwen told the other party his conclusion at the end of the conversation: "You overreacted to this news."

"I mentioned one point in the statement," He Xingwen said: "The promotion and sale of this holographic game will be fully entrusted to the state."

In other words, even if the public beta starts, the initiative is still in Huaguo's hands.

In fact, any qualified politician, such as Shao Ming, would not react as excessively as He Shu, because in a sense, this is good news.

But in the final analysis, He Shu is just a researcher.

He Xingwen reminded the other party: "You can go back and report."

After He Shu's figure disappeared, He Xingwen said thoughtfully to the system: "You said just now that he communicated with me alone, it was a kind of temptation, I understand the meaning of this sentence."

System: "I'd be happy to hear your analysis on this."

"This is not a temptation to me, but a temptation to you."

He Xingwen said: "A scientific researcher with a high IQ but a low EQ has an important status and a special status in the Special Investigation Bureau..."

"If you have any targeted purpose on Earth or China, then he is a very suitable target for you to control."

"A very risky temptation." The system said: "They don't mind sacrificing a genius for this."

He Xingwen: "In this case, I understand very well that everything they do may require a huge price to choose."

Because it is these choices and sacrifices that ultimately constitute the continuation of civilization.
