[Online Games] The world is your enemy

In the end, he was dragged to the school Internet cafe by the monitor girl.

Her final reason for persuading Xue Pei is—even if you have a psychological shadow and don’t want to touch the computer, isn’t it okay to take a look at it?You are not allowed to play, just follow the sidelines.

So Xue Pei was forced by her to run to watch as a spectator.

When watching them start the game and play 5V5 confrontation, Xue Pei sat next to him and chatted with the squad leader girl who was unable to play in person as the organizer of the game.

First, he talked about the internship next year, and then he suddenly asked: "Do you believe in artificial intelligence?"

"There must be, but not now." The squad leader girl replied casually, "The current smart technology is still not available, so I can only talk nonsense in theory... To reach the mailman in "True Name" Who knows how many years we will have to wait for that level. But by then, Mr. Slippery and Elise Linna should appear accordingly, right?"

This long series of answers made Xue Pei stunned for a moment. Where did these names come from?

Then he remembered that their monitor girl was a fan of science fiction.Playing Warcraft, DOTA, reading science fiction in foreign languages... Anyway, as long as it is "things that normal girls don't do", she will definitely do it.

"What's wrong?" asked the monitor girl.

"It's nothing...just asking casually." Xue Pei said, "Then where do you think...the virtual consciousness might come from? A giant computer in a certain military base?"

He was slouching all the while he said these words.

Although the other students in the class played fiercely, he couldn't arouse any interest at all.

His current state is the same as when he was in class a few days ago, signing in every day, going to class, studying by himself, and never touching the computer.It's like a model student in the 80s of the last century, but he often seems to be wandering away, sitting motionless for a long time as if he lost his soul.

But just when he said that sentence casually, the squad leader girl jumped up all of a sudden.

"—I absolutely don't believe in the setting that 'a super AI was born on a certain giant computer'! I don't believe it at all, whether it's Skynet in "Terminator" or "The Matrix" are nonsense!" The squad leader waved her hand vigorously, as if she was chasing away some pests that did not exist in the air.She didn't seem to be talking to Xue Pei, but she was very excited to explain this topic herself.

"No matter how big a server is, it is impossible to give birth to a real artificial intelligence... How can there be life in a pool of stagnant water? On the contrary, a civilian server that interacts more with ordinary user terminals is more likely to give birth to a real AI. Although the server itself The capacity may not be too large, but there are still a large number of ordinary users connected to it... For example, game companies... Don't the number of people who are online at the same time for popular games often reach hundreds of thousands? If we follow our human model If it is inferred - the network connected by the central server and the user is like the human central nervous system and peripheral nervous system... information is the nerve impulse... and the real AI can only be born in the interaction..."

Xue Pei didn't understand.

The squad leader's girl spoke too fast, and it was such a theoretical content—he would be damned if he could understand it all at once.

He seems to have heard of this theory that "intelligence can only appear in interaction", but he doesn't know much about science fiction and doesn't care too much.He felt that if he didn't understand it, he didn't understand it, and he just planned to wait for the monitor girl to finish explaining those science fiction theories before perfunctory.

He really didn't listen very carefully.

However, after only a few seconds, he froze at the few words he heard.

The squad leader seemed to be distracted by him, and she gave him science fiction-related artificial intelligence knowledge popularization all the way: "The real AI can only appear in the interaction... Countless interactive information is gathered, and the quantitative change leads to the qualitative change. Finally, the information exchange Life is born in..."

She said in a nonchalant manner, "So the place where artificial intelligence was born is definitely not a large military base. According to my theory, the most likely to grow truly intelligent should be online game bosses and virtual idols who interact with players, such as the famous dumping Lady Onion Hatsune, Arthas in WOW..."

"...and Yujizi." Xue Pei heard his own voice say.

It wasn't until his own voice reached his ears that he realized that he had subconsciously answered.He almost involuntarily followed the list of girls in the monitor, everything came out of instinct.

And Yujizi.

Since one can think and act, and even rise up to resist because of the doomed fate...then the virtual consciousness born in the network, isn't it a life in another sense?

"What did you say?" The squad leader was stunned for a moment, and finally broke away from the state of eloquent speeches.

The monitor girl realized how long she had just said, and she said apologetically, "Uh... I shouldn't have talked so much about this kind of stuff with you all of a sudden. The guy who wrote YY Lei Wen pinches too much. I’m used to pinching so I always want to make a statement. And I really think my theory has a basis. If there is an independent AI that grows out of thin air, it must be in the game company It's on a civilian server like this, not the military. If you get tired of hearing it, I'm sorry, just pretend I didn't say anything... Hey, wait, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you talk all of a sudden? Wait, what are you running for!"

She looked at Xue Pei who suddenly ran out all the way in surprise, but she still didn't understand what she said wrong: "Why did you react so strongly? Why did I scare you away when I talked about artificial intelligence?"

She stood there in a daze for a while, then suddenly thought of hearing the rumor that "Xue Pei is a bit strange these days" from other students.She thought to herself that she didn't seem to have said anything. Even if some people might not be interested in science fiction-related content and find it boring, they wouldn't just run away in anger, right?

Li Mo was really right, he is really a bit weird.

Xue Pei almost ran away all the way out.

He found that if he didn't do this, he might not be able to stay there for a second.

Originally, I was just following along to join in the fun of playing DOTA games, but I didn't expect to hear such a speech from the class leader girl.He felt that somewhere in his heart had been stabbed hard again, and he couldn't tell what it felt like.

He has been recuperating for a total of two weeks since waking up in the hospital.

After going back to school for classes, it is now another week.

A total of more than 20 days have passed in total, and I don’t know what changes will happen to the world?Calculated in this way, the days that have passed since he left have been longer than the time he stayed there at the beginning... Will something happen after such a long time?

Perhaps more frightening than "something changed or something went wrong" is that nothing happened.

No change and absolutely no change, step-by-step running according to the rules...that would be more terrifying than any unexpected situation.

Xue Pei had another nightmare that night.

Since waking up in the hospital, he has actually been having all kinds of nightmares.Most of it is related to his journey in that world, and occasionally he dreams of what he will wake up from.He dreamed that he was floating, suddenly fell, and found that everyone in front of him was disappearing one by one.

Then he woke up and fell into another nightmare.

He dreamed that he was playing games tonight.

Instead of returning to the game world, but before it all started, he was sitting in an Internet cafe and playing games with his character.

doing what?

I don't know, it seems that I came back to brush up a copy.

Come on, four of the 67 books are missing one, so hurry up.

He didn't understand what happened, but since it was a dream, it didn't matter anyway.Dreams don't need any logic. He dreamed that he was playing the game with his old account, and then went to brush the so-called level 67 dungeon with a group of vague-faced teammates.

Book 67...is the third floor of the ancient imperial mausoleum.

Wait, is something not quite right?

What exactly is wrong, I can't tell.

It seems like something has been forgotten.

He felt like he shouldn't have moved on under any circumstances, but his blurred-faced teammates urged him to hurry up.

--can not fight.

--What's wrong?This is a game, obviously the purpose of the game is to max out the dungeon equipment.

——No... that person is known... a person who used to be very familiar with him day and night, but suddenly disappeared one day...

--who?You remembered wrong.

Xue Pei struggled in this chaotic dream for a long time, and in the end, he realized that he was dreaming.He felt that he should wake up as soon as possible, but in a blur of consciousness he suddenly realized another paradox—what's going on?Why do I feel that I should know the people in the game after I wake up?

Why is the reality in his memory more bizarre than the dream? How can people in reality know the game characters in the Two-dimensional world... Wait, which side is the dream and which side is the reality?

"--wrong."

Then at this moment, he suddenly remembered.

He remembered the man's name.

When he remembered that name, he suddenly began to condemn himself.How can I forget?Although he was dreaming, even in his wildest dreams, he shouldn't forget that name...

"Who are you talking to?! Saying your real name in the game's public channel, are you crazy?" Without logic, Li Mo's question came out of nowhere in the dream.

Then he saw those teammates with blurred faces urging him: "Hurry up, why don't you open the boss?"

Open BOSS?

He suddenly remembered... remembered everything...

Then he turned his head and yelled at the people created by his dream: "Whoever dares to drive, I will drive him first!!!" As soon as he yelled so loudly, those blurred-faced teammates went " Puchi" all disappeared.

Xue Pei looked at the scene in front of him.

Level 67 dungeon, the boss on the third floor of the ancient imperial mausoleum... Isn't it Yujizi?

Although it was a dream, the scene in front of him was exceptionally real... Or, maybe it was because it was a dream that such a real scene appeared in front of him.

The blue robe, and the pure black cloak on the outside.There was no expression on the face under the cloak.

Although he knew exactly that he was dreaming, for some reason, Xue Pei suddenly wanted a response.Although he himself knew how absurd this dream scene was - what was he doing?While brushing the dungeon, he followed a group of people whose names he didn't know and beat Yu Jizi all the way.How could he do such a thing, and take a step back and say that even if he wanted to, he couldn't do it, and he didn't have a suitable account.

He stared at that person all the time, although he knew he was dreaming, but his first reaction was to call out: "...can you see me, Master?"

Suddenly realized that the premise of this dream was that he was playing games normally.

If you play games normally, it seems that you should use the keyboard to type out what you want to say.He thought about it, and then typed the sentence again.

Still no response.

Xue Pei suddenly thought of another sentence, another sentence he wanted to say to that person if they met again.

"Hello...you...have you ever eaten shredded pork with green peppers?" He typed every word on the keyboard with trembling hands, and asked Yu Jizi's image in his dream.That was the first sentence he said when he first met that person, and he still remembers it quite clearly.

If it wasn't a dream...if we could meet each other one day...he would probably ask this question again as a greeting for reunion, right?

But this is a dream... in the dream he was a player sitting off-screen, and that person was inside the copy of the game.

When the mouse moves over slowly, only red attack options will always appear.
