The whole world thinks I'm inscrutable

Like Xiao Shun's "auspicious words", Xia Jun was really "lucky" and was drawn.

The moment he saw the notification, he jumped up from the chair with his mobile phone in his arms, cheered several times, "Long live", and excitedly said to Ke Shaoan, "I've won the lottery!"

Ke Shaochen looked calm and said with a smile: "Yo, good luck."

Xiao Shun watched silently, "The Best Actor."

Then he took out his phone, opened the link, took a look, and said, "I won the draw too."

Xia Jun laughed loudly, shook Xiao Shun's hand up and down: "That's great! Let's play together later!"

After speaking, open the company group and friend group, and send a message to ask: "Who has drawn the World quota? Let's form a team and play together!"

The moment it was sent out, several groups exploded, the phone buzzed non-stop, and a bunch of voices of envy, jealousy and madness could be heard endlessly.

At the end of the count, Rao had Xia Jun's extensive social network, except for him, Xiao Shun and Feng Tang, there were only three people who got the helmet.

While replying to the messages in the group, Xia Jun quickly filled out the logistics form. In less than half an hour, the helmet was delivered to him.

Xiao Shun's share was also sent together.

Open the box, take out the black silver-rimmed helmet with a full sense of design inside—that is, the one that Xiao Shun has been sending around these days, pick it up and can’t wait to ask the boss Ke Shao’an: “Shao Chen, let me now Just go to the lounge to play for a while? When I ask for half a day off."

Ke Shaochen said generously: "Go."

Xia Jun cheered, hugged his helmet, and extended an invitation to Xiao Shun: "Let's play together?"

Xiao Shun glanced at Ke Shaochen and nodded, "Okay."

The two walked into the lounge and found a spacious sofa to lie down on.Xia Jun put on the helmet excitedly and pressed the power button.

"Please close your eyes." A female voice came from beside my ears, the voice was as real as it sounded in reality.

What?Do you have to close your eyes while playing games?

He hesitated and closed his eyes, and the moment his eyelids closed, an immersive login screen suddenly appeared "in front of him", without any pixel texture.Xia Jun couldn't help but let out a gasp of admiration, excited by this novelty.

Although it is a holographic game, the registration process is not too cumbersome and complicated, but there are more things to be reminded of than ordinary games, such as paying attention to the safety of the surrounding environment, please maintain a comfortable posture and reduce physical movement during the game, etc.After Xia Jun registered the citizen information and game account, he clicked Confirm. In the next second, his eyes blurred, and he felt as if his consciousness had passed through some tunnel-like place and entered a certain body.

When he was able to see clearly again, he found himself "standing" in a lush and vast forest.

The scene that was too real made Xia Jun sit up subconsciously, and randomly touched the environment around his body to make sure that he was still in the lounge.The heart thumped and beat faster, the uneasy emotions quickly faded, and the excitement and incredible emotions rushed into my mind instantly!

It's like time-traveling, the real and frightening scene, every flower and tree, every grass and every tree, looks just like the real thing!People can't believe that this is really just an online game.

"Have a drink and come to the 'Demon Realm', I am your exclusive elf."

When Xia Jun was staring at the surrounding scenery, his mind was blank, and he was dumbstruck, a goose yellow light the size of a firefly floated in front of Xia Jun's eyes and said to him.

After searching for a while, Xia Jun followed the direction of the voice to find the subject of the speech, and asked hesitantly, "Is that you?"

"Voice fluctuations have been detected." The elf's body emits light that fluctuates regularly like breathing, and said: "You only need to think in your brain and come up with the idea of ​​speaking, and then you can communicate with me."

Xia Jun closed his mouth, tried it, and found that it was not difficult to do: "Is that so?"

A crisp juvenile voice came out from the "body" of his game character.

"Yes." Unknowingly, the elf had already started her novice guidance, and said to Xia Jun, "Please follow me."

Xia Jun followed up subconsciously, and it took about three or four steps before he realized that he was actually controlling this small animal, walking with a fluffy body and limbs, and then stopped in a slow reaction. .

This game is too great.

He raised the "claw" with the pads, looked down, and tried to use it with a fist in his hand, and found that the manipulation of this body was very handy, without any difficulty.

He raised his head again, glanced ahead, and found that in front of the little elf flying, there was a faint blue pointing arrow floating in mid-air, which did not block the vision, and confirmed again that this was really a game, not some kind of time travel, hurry up He quickened his pace and followed.

"World is a fully open game with a high degree of freedom. Here, you can experience the fun of various types of games such as exploration, adventure, planting, cultivation, making friends, fighting, and placing... Find what you want the way you play, do whatever you want."

The elf started to introduce the game introduction, and Xia Jun pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

"In the game, all NPCs have an independent AI intelligence system. Each character has a different personality, thinking, good and evil, and is equipped with its own favorability system and reputation system. When getting along with NPCs, please pay attention to the attitude and way of speaking, Play friendly."

Xia Jun froze for a moment, and said, "What? AI?"

"Yes." The elf said: "In this game, communicating with NPCs is an inevitable link. You may encounter a lot of troubles if you make enemies with NPCs. But if you become friends with them, you may get A lot of convenience. I am also one of many AIs."

Only then did Xia Jun realize that he seemed to be chatting with the NPC that guided the system without realizing it, and he said, "Are you also an intelligent AI?"

"Yes."

Xia Jun asked curiously, "If I talk to you, will you understand me?"

Elf: "Of course, if you don't believe me, you can ask me a question to test me, and I will definitely exceed your expectations."

Xia Jun thought for a while, and asked a simple elementary school-level test question: "Use 'Xiaoli, mine, yes, friend' to form a sentence? There are two answers, and no matter which one you choose, it will give you full marks."

The elf's answer directly gave the perfect score: "My friend, Xiao Li is mine."

Xia Jun: "..."

He raised his fluffy paw and gave a thumbs up: "Qualified!"

"Thank you for the compliment." The elf said modestly: "Only a smart AI like me can be selected as a system assistant, and can communicate with players at any time, and a stupid one can only be an ordinary NPC. An excellent head melon."

"Do you still have a difference in IQ in the AI ​​world?" Xia Jun wondered, "What are 'parents', programmers?"

"This belongs to our personal privacy, and we are not allowed to discuss private family matters at work." The elf continued: "In short, every NPC here has wisdom like me, has their own family background, personal experience... If you plan to Actively participate in social activities in this world, and soon you can also become a member of NPCs and become a part of this world."

Xia Jun couldn't help but said, "I can also be a member of the NPC? What does this mean?"

Elf: "That is to say, you can issue tasks to other NPCs, and you can also take the place of NPCs and become the owner of the store or the leader of the guild. To put it bluntly, you are here, it is equivalent to being an NPC who came to a foreign country. Tourists. How to survive on your own strength, meet more local people, and obtain a corresponding social status depends entirely on your own ability."

Xia Jun said, "Does that mean 'Second World, Second Life'?"

I remember that's what it said in the game introduction on the link.

"That's right." The elf said, "All the things that can be done in the real world can also be done here. Whether it's making things, plowing the fields, or making friends, it can all be done."

"You mean, if I want to have a bicycle here, as long as I know how to make it, I can actually make it?" Xia Jun couldn't help but said, "Don't you need to buy it?"

"If you have the patience, you can start collecting materials one by one and then make them." The elf said, "However, it may be troublesome for you to sharpen steel and make tires by yourself, or wait for other players to open factories here. You can also spend money to buy one directly.”

Xia Jun replied casually: "The factory can be opened wherever it is said, and if you don't say it, you have to rely on yourself—"

In the middle of talking, Xia Jun suddenly remembered what kind of people his group of players who participated in the game with helmets were in the real world.

The world's top adventurers, gamers, chess players, athletes, doctors, scientists, mathematicians, bachelors...

The most powerful group of people on earth are basically gathered here.

For those people, making a bicycle and opening an assembly line processing factory is as simple as eating and drinking.After all, most of the facilities on the entire earth are basically supported and supplied by them.

Xia Jun suddenly figured out something: "Wait a minute, perhaps it is precisely because of this game mechanism that they can better display their strength..."

If it is a game that ordinary people can easily get started with, who can turn into a human emperor after clicking the buttons on the screen proficiently, and can become the top of the leaderboard with krypton or liver, they may not be interested in participating at all.

Seeing that Xia Jun seemed to have figured it out and accepted it, the elf continued: "Although we are a game, as you can see, such a real game experience can easily give people the illusion that this is the real world, whether it is injury or death, It will leave me with extraordinary memories, even shadows. Therefore, we do not advocate aggressive game methods, the death penalty is very heavy, and it is difficult to heal easily after injury, please understand."

"I can understand, I can understand." Xia Jun nodded repeatedly, and said, "If you throw me from a high place now, I'm probably going to faint from fright."

After all, every time you take a step, you can have the illusion of stepping on green grass on the soles of your feet. Everything here is too real.

"If you're worried that you won't be able to bear the extreme scenes, you can lower the restriction level, and the system will automatically block bloody and brutal scenes for you, and remind you to avoid combat scenes."

Xia Jun imagined for a while, using the current "body" perspective, to fight the monster.That kind of "live" stimulating experience makes the heart beat faster and the blood pulse faster just thinking about it.

Don't let this rare opportunity pass you by.

So he said, "No, let's drive first."

"I found that you seem to be very interested in fighting. I suggest that you register with the Adventure Guild. After making friends, you can receive tasks and go on an adventure." The elf said: "I suggest that you add some local NPCs to your partners. They are familiar with fighting and have Skills and knowledge of the world make him an excellent teammate."

Xia Jun said: "Okay, I remember, but how can I find such an NPC?"

"Of course you have to look for partners you recognize one by one according to your own vision." The elf said: "Each NPC has different abilities, personalities, and intelligence, and there are side tasks and background settings hidden behind it. They are all different. Maybe you will meet a companion who is kind on the surface but is ruthless in reality, who runs counter to your ideals, or a character who looks weak but whose combat power breaks through the sky."

Xia Jun was eager to try, and said excitedly: "This is too interesting!!"

"What I need to tell you here is that because the AI ​​intelligence is too high, it also has corresponding emotions, so if the AI ​​emotions are generally negative, the world will not be able to function normally. Therefore, the World has legal standards. The seriousness of the matter will lower the punishment for the player, ranging from temporarily freezing the account, to directly forcing the account to be blocked. Please pay attention to friendly games and avoid unnecessary disputes, and even take the initiative to provoke for the sake of hunting for novelty."

Xia Jun nodded again and again: "In short, you should also pay attention to your words and deeds on the Internet, right? Don't worry, the real-name system is now required online. We have long since lost the keyboard warriors and trolls of the early days."

Elf: "Thank you for your cooperation - as I said before, you can live the life you want here. As long as you get permission, you are free to build houses, expand land, open shops...but Because your main focus is on the real world, and you can't take care of it all the time, you need to hire workers to do things for you."

Xia Jun said, "Yes, I understand."

The elf reminded: "But please pay attention to try to find a character that you can trust - you can spend money to hire workers, or you can ask NPCs who have a good relationship with you to help you build a house, but they may take the money but not Work, or be lazy or even steal. After all, they are all intelligent NPCs, and it is impossible for you to know what is thinking in your heart."

Xia Jun was a little stunned after hearing this, but still got used to it: "Okay, yes."

The more I know about this game, the more I feel it is too real. The "Second World" in the introduction is indeed correct.

The elf said: "However, our AI personality is generally simple, so the probability of similar things happening is very low. But AI intelligence will learn and improve. If it fails to learn from humans, will it do it?" That kind of thing can’t be said.”

Xia Jun didn't know where to start complaining.

Thousands of words merged into one sentence: "I am convinced!"

"This is the novice protection area, so there will be no emergencies or battles." The elf led Xia Jun all the way forward, leading him to a huge towering tree.

Around him, many players like him can be seen, all walking towards the top of the big tree.A group of people took off in the electric elevator with the magic circle engraved on it, and walked forward on the "thousands of feet" like a cliff-like suspension bridge, and finally stepped on the broad "road" of branches to their respective destinations... Each The strong fantasy atmosphere of another world can be seen in the details, Xia Jun is dazzled by the sight, and feels as if he is in a strange dream.

"This is your room."

The little elf brought Xia Jun to the middle of the trunk of the big tree, in front of a tree hole with a wooden door somewhere, and said: "When you exit the game, please try to go back to your room, or find a safe place to log off. Because even if you leave Now, your body is still in place, in a dormant state."

Xia Jun nodded kindly: "Okay."

Pushing open the door and walking into the house, I found that although the decoration inside is simple, it reveals warmth everywhere, and I can vaguely feel a trace of warm kindness. I took the beautiful bouquet on the table and said: "The flowers are very beautiful, as if I haven't seen it before, what's its name?"

"This is a flower unique to our demon world, which means 'friendliness'." The elf said: "The monsters who made the tree house knew that this place is for you to live in, so they went to the hillside to pick flowers this morning and gave the bouquet as a gift. For you."

Listening to this "background setting", Xia Jun felt a little fresh: "They also made the room?"

"That's right," said the elf, "every room is different."

Xia Jun said with interest: "Link really put a lot of effort into making the game, and the settings are really detailed enough."

"By the way, you'd better not mention words like 'game', 'real world', 'setting' in front of NPC. Even if you tell him 'this is the game world, you are the character in the game' , They will not believe it, but it will inevitably arouse their suspicion." The elf said: "You can try to understand their worldview and the history of this world. This will help you become better friends with NPCs."

Xia Jun nodded, expressing his understanding: "No problem."

The elf continued to explain: "World is bound to your link account, so all your real-world skills will be extracted into the game and turned into game skills. For example, your martial arts and painting skills are all C-level, Therefore, it is possible to participate in tasks with a requirement of C or below."

Xia Jun was amazed: "I didn't expect that the information filled in on the link to improve the score and obtain tasks can also be used here."

"Yes, this is also one of the means by which our game makers intend to urge everyone in the real world to improve their abilities-in the real world, the higher the ranking and the stronger the ability, the more things they can do here. Many." The elf said: "After introducing your room, please follow me to the 'Task Management Office'."

After entering the room, the arrow that disappeared for a while to reach the destination reappears in front of the eyes.Xia Jun followed the elf out of the room.This time I didn't take the elevator downstairs, but turned left and went directly to the teleportation array.The moment after the light flashed, Xia Jun found himself in a "city" with very prosperous buildings.

He said: "I thought you guys would take a 100% realistic route, so there are also fantasy settings!"

The little elf imitated Xia Jun's tone of voice: "After all, it is the demon world, so of course it can use witchcraft!"

Xia Jun looked at the antique ancient buildings around him, and felt that he was traveling, as if he had traveled across time and space, and came to a thousand years ago—although the "people" who walked around all had some inhuman characteristics—this It should be the local residents of the demon world called "monsters" by the elves.

I have to say that although it is a combination of humans and monsters, each monster has a very handsome appearance and does not look weird at all.Moreover, among the same clan, the appearances of the monsters are all different. At first glance, I was really moved.

Their facial expressions and movements are too vivid!

Seeing Xia Jun standing there, looking up at him without blinking.A tall, elegant-looking crane monster with stunning white wide wings on its back walked towards Xia Jun with reserved steps.He bent down, held Xia Jun in his arms, looked around curiously, and said to himself with joy, "It's so cute!"

Xia Jun found that his body was suddenly suspended in the air, and he was caught. He subconsciously struggled with his hands and feet, feeling an involuntary sense of fear, and shouted in a panic: "What, what's wrong?"

The little elf said to Xia Jun: "It should be treating you as a small animal on the roadside, you can try to communicate with him."

Xia Jun had no choice but to endure the uneasiness in his heart, managed to calm down, and said to the "NPC" in front of him, "You, hello, my name is 'Tianhong', and I am a human being. This time I came to visit the Demon World."

The monster looked less calm than the panicked Xia Jun, its wings flapped wildly in excitement, setting off gusts of wind and waves, so that Xia Jun could only feel the wind and waves blowing over his body, and the hairs all over his body flew around: "You are human?! I actually saw a human being!!! It turns out that human beings look like this!!”

The elf found a suitable answer for Xia Jun: "This is the body I borrowed temporarily, not the original one. Please give me more advice in the future."

Xia Jun recited the lines, but couldn't help complaining: "You guys have done too much detail in this game, it's as true as it sounds."

The sense of substitution is too strong, as if he really borrowed this body to play in the demon world...

"Please get along well with every NPC." The elf repeated again: "It's as if they are all real, and you can become friends with them."

Xia Jun was dumbfounded, and a lot of thoughts popped up in his mind - seeing Xia Jun's cute and ignorant expression, the monster was so excited that he was about to be dazed: "Where are you going next? Can I How about staying with you any longer?"

Xia Jun was a little overwhelmed. This game was completely different from the usual games he imagined: "Is this a mandatory plot?"

Elf: "No, we don't have any mandatory plots in our game, everything is free."

"Then..." Xia Jun tried to communicate with this NPC: "I'm going to the 'mission exchange' ahead, do you want to come?"

The monster nodded again and again, holding Xia Jun in his arms, but he couldn't bear to let go: "Wow, wah, wow!"

Xia Jun couldn't help but think again, the expression setting of this NPC is really well made, and the emotions look lifelike, just like the real thing.
