pinnacle throne

The word artificial intelligence is not unfamiliar to today's people. Works with this theme often appear in TV dramas and movies, but no one can imagine that this kind of technology will come to them one day.Just after the announcement was published on the official website, the wave of public opinion reached an unprecedented height.

At the beginning, it was just a hot topic in games, forums, Weibo, and post bars. In just a few hours, all major online media reported the relevant information. The next day, not to be outdone, all the newspapers and periodicals were not far behind. Relevant news was published in Nei, and the discussion on artificial intelligence became overwhelming, and everyone had different attitudes. There were extremely fanatical fans and onlookers who severely reprimanded them.

Under the pressure of this explosive news, the player contest became unattractive.Even Shen Xiao and the others were speechless for a long time after reading the report. Although Shen Xiao had already had a similar conjecture in his mind, when the conjecture became a fact, he had to fall into deep thought.The few people didn't care about discussing tactics and training, and Final was busy digging into the inside of the game team to get first-hand information.

Even though the next day was the match against the first team of Lingyun Guild, several people were still silently watching the latest development of the matter. No response. Although the majority of game enthusiasts have expectations for the arrival of artificial intelligence, in fact, more people outside the game circle hold an attitude of disapproval.

The more the game party keeps silent like this, the more intense the outside world's remarks will be.That night, Final, who had been busy for two consecutive days, came to YY, and at the same time brought news from inside.It was the first time everyone heard Final say in an unusually serious tone: "We are in big trouble. This time the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Information Industry have been alarmed. Run, the holding of the player contest is already at its limit."

The crowd was silent for a long time, and Napoleon mustered up his courage to ask, "What is the worst case?"

"The game is suspended for investigation. If it really reaches this point, it will be regarded as the first of its kind for an online game suspension investigation." Final replied.

Jueming then asked: "If the operation is suspended, how long will it be suspended?"

"Conservative estimate, three months."

Three months is enough to kill a company in this information-rich age.Even though everyone was impatient, they couldn't think of any way.The silent atmosphere gradually became solemn, but Shen Xiao suddenly asked, "Have any measures been taken internally?"

Final replied: "The internals of the game are very passive at the moment."

Shen Xiao thought for a while, and then asked: "Is there any incentive for the upper management to intervene in this matter?"

Final: "Yes, mainly because a few people with high status are firmly opposed."

Shen Xiao: "What is the point of their opposition? It can't be because they can't stand the development of technology, right?"

Final: "The dangers of online games, including online game fraud, and various adverse effects, coupled with the AI ​​butler launched in this game, make them feel that this is providing tools for criminals. After all, the current game party cannot guarantee the security of AI technology. maturity, and this technology does not have a systematic theory, so once someone attacks the vulnerability and uses it, the loss incurred at that time cannot be estimated, because it is not known what the consequences will be, so it is impossible to advance Take precautions. Judging from the current attitude of the upper echelon, they have affirmed this point of view.”

Shen Xiao: "So, as long as the game party cannot prove the safety of the technology, it can only face the worst result?"

Final: "Yes."

Everyone fell into silence again.The problems that the game is currently facing are beyond the reach of ordinary netizens like them. If the game party can't come up with a solution, let alone professional leagues and player competitions, whether the game can continue to run is a problem.

Although it is only a virtual platform, as one of the players, no one can deny the wonderful experience it brings, whether it is a holographic experience with milestone significance, or the people and things encountered in the game... that is all They paid what they got in return for their true emotions.

The atmosphere in YY became more and more dull, several people were silent for a long time, Shen Xiao suddenly said: "There is a competition tomorrow morning, let's rest early."

The others braced themselves up and went offline one after another after saying goodbye.

After washing up and getting under the covers, Shen Xiao still turned on his mobile phone to refresh the major websites. Although the latest news in many media did not provide the details provided by Final, the difficulties faced by the game were still exposed, and people on the game forum were panicked. At this time, no one is focused on fighting, and everyone is discussing only one problem.

Can "Peak" make it through?

When it was even later, many commemorative posts suddenly appeared in the forum. The posts included screenshots of the game with their relatives and friends, familiar map scenes, and smiling game characters. These things can prove that there was once.

Such posts quickly set off a wave of follow-up, and a sad atmosphere permeated. Many sentimental players expressed their reluctance. Shen Xiao flipped through the posts of his own guild member, but this person did not express anything. In a sad mood, most of the screenshots are happy. At the end of the post, this person posted a picture of his guild territory.

The once small and dilapidated place has now become magnificent, with palaces, squares, equipment warehouses... There are also streets with people coming and going, everyone is called "KFC luxury lunch", which looks very funny, and at the same time There is a touch of warmth.For some reason, Shen Xiao got up from the bed, turned on the computer, and logged into the account.

After going online, I found that most of the people in the guild were online, including Napoleon and others who had already made an appointment to go to bed early. They looked at each other, but no one accused the other.

Everyone gathered silently in the guild territory, posed their favorite poses, then took screenshots, and then everyone discussed and walked through every corner of the game together.On the road, I even met many players who had the same plan. They all had a tacit understanding and held the attitude that meeting is fate. Even if they didn't know each other, they all took a group photo together as a souvenir.Shen Xiao and the others stayed in the game until four or five o'clock in the morning, and they reluctantly went offline when they were too sleepy.

At 9 o'clock the next morning, everyone logged into the game on time and stood in front of the player contest NPC. The game time of the contest was from 04:30 am to [-]:[-] pm, and the match with the first team of Lingyun Guild was exactly [-]:[-] At the beginning, during the waiting time, few people did not discuss tactics. They waited silently until the game started, and Shen Xiao said the only sentence: "Come on."

Perhaps it was because his mood fluctuated too much before, but now he was much calmer when he encountered a match.Everyone is in an unusually calm state. According to the previous plan, they will test Ling Yun's team first. If this is a full-team team, they will consider using a new formation when necessary. After all, at this time The game video will not be released, and it is impossible for the members of the Lingyun team to share the first-hand information they have obtained with other teams.

However, when Shen Xiao cooperated with the two mages to test each other for two rounds, they discovered that Ling Yun's team was not a full team member, and two of them were obviously not as skilled as the other teammates, and the subsequent games were easier Many, Shen Xiao fixed his eyes on the two flawed people, and sent them off the stage with little effort.

After the game, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.The next time we meet a threatening strong team, it will be next week.After the day's competition ended, several people gathered in YY and waited for Final to hold a summary meeting, but Final only spoke a few words briefly.After the memories were over, Shen Xiao boarded the forum again and began to refresh the posts.

One day passed like this, and after Zhou Tian had played two games, the remaining teams finally became 64. After all the games were over that day, the official website posted a list of the 64 teams in a very low-key manner, and on the homepage of the official website A link to the live broadcast of the player competition was opened, but the players didn't want to pay attention to the game. After seeing the changes on the official website, they flocked to the official forum to ask if the game could continue.

The game side remained silent about this. After the disappointment of the players, dissatisfaction finally erupted. Many people posted posts indicating that they would join other holographic online games. The official moderator was still silent. After a few days of this, the official forum It was unprecedentedly deserted, and the rest of the posters were only venting their grievances. Shen Xiao and the others could clearly feel that the flow of people in the game had begun to decline.

Seeing that the game started to decline, Final simply asked everyone not to browse the forums recently, and blocked all channels after the game was launched. Unfortunately, this method only solved the symptoms, not the root cause, and even Napoleon became negative.

A week passed quickly, and everyone was about to face several rounds of brutal knockout matches. The competition between Shen Xiao and the others became more difficult. The strength of the entire team was completely different from that of ordinary teams. If it was a medium-sized team, the difficulty would be even more difficult. Big, not to mention that Shen Xiao and the others have already gained a little bit of fame in the circle. Even with the mentality of conquering the nine falls, these teams are very serious about the game.

Not only is Shen Xiao's fast pace no longer an advantage, but it has become a disadvantage that makes the team's cooperation out of touch. Although the opponent's main target is still on Shen Xiao, the strategy to isolate Shen Xiao from other players is becoming clearer.

Jueming and Ling Yexi desperately maintained a little cooperation with Shen Xiao, and Qi Le even roamed around the field, sometimes using themselves as bait to break the encirclement gradually formed by the other party.Although the few of them had a difficult battle, they won because they played steadily, and they often regained a slight advantage after a stalemate for 10 minutes.

In the first game on Saturday, it took Shen Xiao and the others five to ten minutes to win, which was due to a mistake made by the opponent.The long-term high concentration made several people fall into a state of sluggishness after the game. Fortunately, the second game was scheduled for the afternoon, and everyone had two and a half hours of rest.

While summarizing everyone's previous performances, Final introduced the opponents they will meet in the next round. Fortunately, the opponents in these two days were all members of medium-sized teams. But considering that there will always be stronger enemies in the future, thinking about how to win the current game is obviously better than complaining.

Unsurprisingly, the game in the afternoon was hard work. Although we won the game, the process was really not exciting.From the very beginning, Shen Xiao was entangled by two melee fighters, and Qi Le, who was a mobile operator, was also listed as the main harassment target by the other party. Jue Ming and Ling Yexi alone could not completely control the field, and the scene was out of control for a while. Fortunately, Shen Xiao Xiao broke through the blockade at a critical moment and broke the disadvantaged situation. Even so, he finally won the game with two heads.

Some people who were attracted by the reputation of Jiuluo to watch the game were disappointed. Under the hype, the originally interesting player competition became lackluster. Coupled with the influence of the rumor that "the game company is going to go bankrupt", the number of followers fell below the minimum again value.Wherever the topic of "Peak" is involved, there is a negative scene. After peeking at the comments, Napoleon couldn't help cursing in YY for nearly an hour.

However, after the anger dissipates, we have to face the reality. Zhou Tian's two games are still like two big mountains. With today's video data, the other two teams must have discussed tactics to restrain Shen Xiao. Napoleon mentioned the comment that "the era of nine falls has completely passed", and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

On Sunday, the weather seemed to echo the mood of everyone, and it became extremely gloomy. In the morning, there were gusty winds, and thick dark clouds made the whole sky extremely dark. Several people went online on time and waited for the next game.

The tactics against Shen Xiao really became more and more tricky. Almost from the beginning of the game, Shen Xiao's team was at an absolute disadvantage. Everyone resisted the opponent's firepower and gritted their teeth for more than half an hour. The consumption was far more than that of the opponent's priest. Everyone was red-eyed and risked a crazy counterattack, taking away the opponent's priest at the cost of sacrificing two DPS. The next battle was even more thrilling. Almost all of the bloodlines hovered around a quarter, but even though there was only one person left on the field, Shen Xiao still stood at the end.

Compared to the desperate efforts of Shen Xiao and the others, the comments on the forum were almost one-sided.

“Extremely disappointed...”

"Luo Shen ah ah ah QAQ"

"Hehe, why bother yourself so much, you said it's not good for you to hide quietly. In the past, you were still a figure on the altar, but now you don't even have a godhead. Oh, nozuonodie~"

"This team is too uncoordinated, what are you doing, a game like rubbish!"

"Are you sure this assassin is Luoshen? It's blinding me..."

After winning the last game on Sunday, Napoleon and the others were almost exhausted in front of the computer.At this time, there are only four teams left in the player contest, and the final champion will be determined on the first weekend of December.Everyone looked at the remaining two opponents leading to the championship, and let out a long sigh.

Team Yueyan and... Team Haotian.
