Stop, that monster!

Zheng Wei opened his eyes, and saw that the place he was in was a verdant green grassland, the sun was shining warmly on his body, and the grass gently pricked the soles of his feet.

He looked down at himself and saw that he was naked.

What is this scenario!

A wave of doubts surged in Zheng Wei's heart, but just when he was wondering, he saw clusters of white clouds emerging from the clear sky at a speed visible to the naked eye in the distance, and the clusters of white clouds changed rapidly, and finally Presents the face of a thin, bespectacled man.

Zheng Wei swore that he never knew this man.

The man made of white clouds smiled at Zheng Wei and spoke. His voice seemed to fill the world, and there was no source of it.

The man with the white cloud face first introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Wang Jian, and I am your creator. That is, the God you often talk about."

Zheng Wei felt bewildered for a while, he looked around, and at the other end of the sky, he saw some fine grids, with blue light flowing on the grids.

After 10 minutes, Zheng Wei had completely figured out what was going on in the whole process.

I am already dead.

Perhaps it is not normal to use death to describe the current state. Simply put, my consciousness and body have been separated, and my body is still on the earth, so I should be dead.Consciousness, however, was captured by humans, traveled through tens of thousands of years of time and space, and came to an unimaginable place, where it became a set of brain waves.In other words, it became an intelligent program.The place he is now is a virtual program, which was created to facilitate conversations with the programmer who bought him.

And the reason for all this is because of the pop-up window that lures you to cross.

The strange thing is that after Zheng Wei figured out all this, he didn't feel too much trouble in his heart.

Perhaps, I really don't miss the world without relatives, friends, and love.

Zheng Wei thought so, he looked at the human face in the sky, and said in a calm voice, "There is one thing, you made a mistake, I am not an intelligent program, I am a human being."

The face on the horizon laughed, and it made a sound: "It seems that this intelligent program is not bad, and it has self-awareness! Whether you are a program or a human being, it doesn't matter, I have already treated you I have conducted a simple test and found that everything about you is very in line with my requirements. Then, take a good rest and wait for tomorrow's company test!"

Zheng Wei asked: "What company's test?"

Wang Jian's face appeared as a huge virtual image in the sky. He explained patiently: "The programs written by our programmers have to be tested by the testing department to confirm whether they are qualified. The qualified ones will be sent to the game. In it, act as a smart npc."

"Then what about the unqualified ones?"

The huge face in the sky showed a trace of melancholy and loss: "The unqualified, of course they were deleted! I submitted ten smart programs, and all of them were deleted. You are No. 11. Hope, we Good luck, you can pass the test!"

deleted!

Zheng Wei didn't quite understand what it meant to be deleted, so he asked Wang Jian.

The answer I got was: to delete means to have nothing, to erase means to - for an intelligent program, it means death.For Zheng Wei, it is death from soul to body.

The huge human face that appeared in the sky quickly disappeared, leaving Zheng Wei with a smile.

After the smile, there was a slight click, and the earth, white clouds, and grass disappeared, leaving only darkness.

Zheng Wei didn't feel the passage of time, he just felt that he just blinked his eyes, and the light appeared in front of his eyes again, it didn't look like he had waited all night for so long.

Maybe this is the difference between being a set of brain waves and having a body, Zheng Wei thinks so.

This time, he found that there was a cave around him, which felt cold and hard to the touch, and there was the sound of water in the cave.

The light is emitted from the cave in the distance.The light was very faint, flickering, and pale blue.

At this time, a voice rang in Zheng Wei's ear, Zheng Wei turned his head, but there was no one in his ear.This is probably the test of the legendary company?

The voice sounded majestic and could not be refused: "Number 231, I give you ten seconds now, run to the light!"

"No. 231?" Zheng Wei found that there was no one else in the cave. The voice might be calling him, but he didn't know whether to follow suit or not, so he decided to observe for a while.

In the testing department of the universe online game company, the situation of all the tested intelligent programs is displayed on the huge screen.

The screen is divided into many small grids, and the scene in each grid is the same. The program to be tested is in a cave. After hearing the order, they all started to run towards the other end of the cave, with only one exception.

It was a naked program with a slender figure, short hair, and a stern face. After hearing the order, he didn't respond at all, which made the tester who checked him a little dissatisfied: "This npc, the appearance is not bad, but ...Did you forget to add a hearing system to him?"

The tester draws an X in the hearing system column on his computer.

Then he began to test the ability of these intelligent programs to distinguish the smell. The tester pressed a button, and all the tested programs could smell a strange fragrance.

In front of Zheng Wei, there was no exception a large pile of food.

The scent is very tempting, and it hooks the gluttons in people's stomachs at once. Zheng Wei couldn't help moving his fingers, but he didn't know what these foods were used for, so he kept Stay where you are, and continue to observe.

The tester looks at a bunch of programs under test on the screen.

Some programs quickly swallowed the food into their stomachs, while others tore up the food and scattered it all over the ground.

The only one that didn't respond at all was the previous program that had problems with the hearing system.

It appears that the program also has a problem with its olfactory system.

The tester also drew an X on the column of smell.

In the following tactile test and visual test, Zheng Wei's scores were all ×.

Only in the taste test, a half tick was drawn, because Zheng Wei showed a very uncomfortable expression of wanting to spit out the bitter taste that suddenly appeared in his mouth.

In the first round of basic testing, Zheng Wei was in danger of being deleted. The tester submitted a report: Among the 231 intelligent programs tested, there was only one program with poor basic perception, and its number was [-].

This result soon reached programmer Wang Jian. He covered his head in pain, which meant that his No. 11 program failed again, and he was about to be fired. The program will also be deleted as an unqualified program.

With the mood of trying, Wang Jian went to Manager Yue who recruited him to the company, and asked him to give him another chance.This program No. 231 may be inferior in terms of perception, but it should have its own strengths.

Manager Yue looked at the pleading Wang Jian, nodded reluctantly, and agreed to let the program enter the next round of tests—the test of learning ability and memory ability.

Zheng Wei didn't know at all that while he was observing silently, his fate had already turned around a few times, and he was on the verge of being deleted.

The scene in front of him changed rapidly, the cold and damp cave disappeared, some grids spread under his feet, changed rapidly, and then became a maze.

Above the maze is a mirror that reflects the panorama of the entire maze.

Zheng Wei raised his head and looked at the huge mirror in the sky. The maze roads inside are extremely complicated, and the forked roads are reborn everywhere, and some will turn back to the original place.

And Zheng Wei is in the center of the entire maze, and there are many more people around him. Those people have different looks, but their expressions are numb and dazed. He lowered his head and saw a number printed on his chest: 231 .

231 is indeed his own number, Zheng Wei counted, there are almost three hundred people in this scene.

A voice sounded in the sky: "Now, look up at the mirror reflection above your head, this reflection will disappear in ten seconds, you must find a way out as soon as possible to escape this massacre."

The sound of the second hand moving echoed throughout the maze, and Zheng Wei instinctively sensed a dangerous aura.

He raised his head slightly, looking at the image in the sky.He has studied right-brain memory. He was going to memorize the roads of these mazes in the way of visual thinking, but when he started to memorize, he found that without the constraints of the body, his thinking can be faster and more accurate. , memory, to be stronger.

A slight shaking came from under the feet, and the image of the huge maze in the sky disappeared. Zheng Wei found that in a small square in the center of the maze where everyone was standing, at the center of the central circle, cracks began to appear on the ground.

The crack, like a shattered glass mirror, quickly split open in a spider web at a speed visible to the naked eye.

earthquake!This was the first thought in Zheng Wei's mind, but then he remembered that he was participating in the test with other intelligent programs, so there was no possibility of an earthquake.

A scream erupted from the group of people. Zheng Wei turned his head to look at the screaming sound, and found that the program looked like a child. Drilled out, and soon revealed its original appearance - a monster similar to a giant spider.

The monster's eyes were like two light bulbs, turning straight and emitting an evil light.The monster broke out of the ground, and immediately after that, another monster like him emerged from the ground of the central square.

This time, there is no need for the system to make any more sounds, Zheng Wei also knows that he has to run away!

He ran quickly, the panorama of the maze just now had been memorized in his mind, he was running towards the road in his memory, he would encounter some obstacles on the road, but he was able to cross them very quickly without losing weight. slow speed.

During this running process, Zheng Wei could hear the screams of some programs behind him. He didn't look back, but he could imagine that those programs were being swallowed by monsters.

Perfect turns, jumps, and hurdles, Zheng Wei's movements are smooth and done in one go. Although he is tired of the life of an agent, years of training have made his series of movements instinctive, even without a body, even in a virtual program In all of them, he was able to achieve standard perfection.

In the test hall, the testers nodded in praise of the performance of program 231.

"Yes, this program has a lot of expressions, including frightened expressions."

"The details are well done, and the mechanical calculation of the take-off is very accurate."

"The memory ability is also good. I can remember the entire maze diagram that only appeared for ten seconds."

"There is nothing to say about the ability to adapt. When there is no road in front of you, you can use your body to knock out a passage."

Wang Jian, who was waiting for the test results, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard these comments.

But the result waiting for him was unexpected.

The tester who ticked Zheng Wei's memory ability and athletic ability submitted his own test report: "As an intelligent program, this program has its own fatal weakness! Therefore, it is unqualified!"

The manager of the company's program department had a conversation with Wang Jian: "Xiao Wang, I regret to inform you that you will not come to work tomorrow!"

"Why!! Isn't my program excellent in adaptability and responsiveness?"

Manager: "Don't get excited, there is something wrong with this program, we are discussing whether to delete it, but..."

"Manager, give me another chance, okay, I will definitely make a better program!"

The manager knocked on his desk impatiently, and said, "What is the task I gave you? It is to design a monster! Do you understand what a monster means? What is the task of an intelligent monster? Kill players! Look at the 231 you designed, how does he react when he encounters danger? A monster, when he encounters a player or danger, he should stand up and have the consciousness of sacrificing himself to entertain others. This 231 What about the number? He runs away when he encounters danger! Yes, he has a good memory and can memorize the path of the maze, but...he runs too fast, so the player can't find him at all. When you encounter yourself being killed, instead of standing up and willing to be killed, you run away, will players like this kind of monster?"

Wang Jian covered his head in pain. If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have gone to Chuanyue to buy such a useless program.

He wanted to beg the manager again to give him a chance.But the last sentence of the manager sealed his mouth: "You haven't even figured out what the basic attributes of a monster are. This is the simplest thing. So, I think you are not suitable for the job of programmer at all. I wish you good luck!"

The manager shook hands with Wang Jian as farewell.

When Wang Jian finished packing and stepped out of the company's gate, an employee from the testing department came to ask, "Manager, do you still have number 231?"

The manager pondered for a moment, then said: "No. 231 is not qualified as a monster, let's take a look at his attribute information."

The attribute panel was quickly transferred to the manager.

Number: 231.

Senses: touch, smell, hearing none.Poor vision and taste.

Nervous response speed: medium.

Memory ability: high.

Danger avoidance ability: very high.

IQ Test: Moderate

The manager looked at the attribute panel for a while, and said: "I remember our game. The last npc who showed the way was too stupid and always made mistakes. He has a good memory and can remember maps. He also has a high ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. He can Avoid being killed by some boring players. Let's change it, add a hearing system, and use it as a guide npc. The game will be officially sold soon, and there is no time to make a guide NPC again. "

Zheng Wei had no idea that his fate had already been defined.Moreover, Wang Jian, the only programmer who knows where he came from, will never appear in this company again.

He, a real earth human being, was entered into the computer as an ordinary intelligent program and became a guiding npc.

What he didn't even know was that the game he was about to enter was a terrifying and terrifying place.
