Forces of Temptation

Lin Zhisong still didn't believe it.

A high-dimensional person must look a little high-dimensional.

As low-dimensional people who are willing to be fished by mermaids, how can they really understand the thoughts of high-dimensional people?

Isn’t this another form of self righteousness?

But Jiang Fang said: "Even if it is high, how high can it be?"

He informed the two of them that he saw the logo of the [Brain Invasion] company in the previous dungeon on the ice cream cups sold in the "Colosseum".

Yi Shuige whistled, and quickly got Jiang Fang's meaning: "...Sponsor?"

There are sponsors, perhaps implying commercial activity?

Gaowei also has commercial activities, so does it mean that their social system is also similar to theirs?

However, Lin Zhisong has always been stubborn, and naturally likes to get to the bottom of things too much.

So when communicating with him, his performance can often only be described with a "bar": "Not necessarily. Why do you think that the [brain invasion] you experienced is a high-dimensional world, not an ordinary copy? Maybe it's just a design. Something went wrong, and the copy and the accessory pattern in the safe point crashed."

Jiang Fang smiled.

"Actually, I've felt something was wrong for a long time," he said, "since we hit and kidnapped that door by mistake."

In the [Sand, Sand, Sand] dungeon, Nanzhou had already cracked the secret of the teaching building, but because he wanted to save Sun Guojing, he used unconventional means to directly confiscate the door violently.

They took advantage of a loophole in the system design.

At that time, Jiang Fang discovered their weakness.

——They actually want to reclaim this door by updating the system.

Once Nan Zhou refused to update the old version, they would have nothing to do with the kidnapped boss.

Even if the "Cubic Ark" has the ability to completely disrupt the rules of the game for a short time, they can only be patient, deal with them to redeem the boss.

The 8 hours they stayed in Squirrel Town was not only to allow time for the oxygen consumption left in their old version, but also to allow time for the players in Squirrel Town to withdraw.

At the same time, it also allows time for the game official.

The fact is that after 8 hours, the officials did nothing, and in the end they relied on the lure of "building the ark" to make them take a step back.

On the surface, it's just a small loss of points.

But in fact, the officials completely exposed their weaknesses in front of Jiang Fang.

——They are not as powerful as players imagined.

Jiang Fang's experience of this point is more intuitive than other players.

As a tester who was forced to enter the server, he felt the gradual improvement of the game system very clearly.

This is also the first time that Yi Shuige and Lin Zhisong knew what happened to the only survivor who fell into a coma in the small-scale fourth natural disaster half a year ago.

"In the beginning, we have been playing the dungeons in "Gravity". The dungeons we experienced were repetitive, and sometimes we would encounter the same dungeons, and we had to play them again."

Yi Shuige has an enterprise-level comprehension ability, so without further words, he understood Jiang Fang's meaning: "Gaowei people are collecting relevant data about human beings."

Jiang Fang nodded: "Thus, these high-dimensional people cannot directly analyze human physical fitness data, but need human beings to 'test'."

He paused and added: "It took them half a year to collect information and improve the system."

Lin Zhisong's heart skipped a beat.

In terms of today's increasingly mature game technology, human beings have basically realized the perfect integration of biotechnology and electronic technology.

Where the sword of thinking points, a small world is thrivingly established.

The original version of "Gravity" took only three years from the official project approval, to the public beta, and then to the service launch.

And the group of high-dimensional creatures built another high-rise building on the foundation laid by this mature game.

This is also a great feat.

But after hearing Jiang Fang's words, Lin Zhisong felt that the gigantic creature hidden in the mist seemed to have shrunk a little, and it was not so terrifying.

...Yes, if these aliens are really as powerful as I imagined, playing with them should be like playing with a cricket in a cage or a frog in a urn.

Lin Zhisong even felt that if the real development team of "Gravity" and this group of high-dimensional creatures were put together and let them use "Gravity" as a blueprint to expand and create another new game at the same time, their completion speed might be comparable.

...Maybe the human development team will go one step faster because of 007's baldness.

But after some careful thinking, Lin Zhisong's heart fell heavily into the abyss again.

"No." Lin Zhisong said, "It's not that simple."

Uneven bars player Lin Zhisong started his performance again: "What if their time is not synchronized with ours?"

For example, just like in ancient Chinese mythology, one day in the sky and one year on the earth.

Gaowei is an existence they cannot understand. For Gaowei, half a year on the earth may be just a snap of the fingers.

If this is the case, then their technology cannot be caught up by human flattery.

The more he said, the colder his heart became.

Gao Wei's shadow shrouded him more and more intensely, making him feel an unprecedented chill.

At first, not many people took it seriously [sun.exe did not respond], but thinking about it afterwards, it became Lin Zhisong's only nightmare.

It was a cold, inorganic horror.

The subtext behind it makes people think carefully.

Gao Wei is peeping.

Gao Wei is spying.

Gao Wei issued a warning to humans early, and specially used language and forms that humans can understand.

Yet no one understood the warning.

Perhaps, they know that human beings can't actually understand the meaning behind this.

Even if it is understood, the earth is here, and human beings have nowhere to escape.

This is just a horror mystery that they have prepared in advance, waiting for the mass disappearance to occur, and then let people come to the answer and tremble with fear.

...This is nothing more than a nasty game easter egg.

"Also, mass disappearances have erupted all over the world." Lin Zhisong said with a stern voice, "They have the ability to directly control the earth."

Regarding Lin Zhisong's pessimism, Jiang Fang gave a response: "Then, such a group of high-dimensional people with extremely fast time flow and the ability to control the earth spent 8 hours unable to remove a boss from our backpack." .”

Lin Zhisong: "..."

indeed.There is a contradiction in this.

But because the information between the two parties is really not equal, they can only make the most extreme guesses under the shadow that makes people breathless.

It's no use imagining your opponent is indestructible.

What's more, they seem to be beyond their capabilities.

Lin Zhisong, who finally realized that he had been building up his opponent's ambition, took a breath, and brought the topic of going off track back on track: "Did you also meet Nanzhou during the game?"

The word "Nanzhou" seemed to touch Jiang Fang's heart steadily and lightly.

Jiang Fang smiled: "Yes. The luckiest thing."

Yi Shuige, Lin Zhisong: "..."

Well, yes yes yes.

Talk about business, talk about business.

Jiang Fang continued to tell about his spiritual adventures after coma.

From the self-contained copy of "Gravity" to a completely unfamiliar new copy.

From the beginning of the game with only PVE mode, it has developed to PVP.

The test of physical strength, intelligence, human feelings, and humanity is upgraded step by step and constantly updated.

Indeed, as he said, people behind the scenes are constantly absorbing information and improving their cognition about human beings.

Then, when everything was mature, the game was officially launched, and tens of thousands of humans were put into the non-repeating game copies.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhisong started to pour cold water on his own people again: "Their copy of the game never repeats."

Yi Shuige unexpectedly expressed his opinion: "I think these copies of the game are ready-made copies that have been developed long ago. We were just thrown in."

Jiang Fang agreed with this point of view.

The frog arm they picked up in [Fear of the Full Moon], as well as the tin soldier trapped due to game failure in [Brain Invasion], the swan, and the densely packed floating puppets supporting the lighthouse in the sea area of ​​the little mermaid...

Those are former players.

It's just that they belong to a different race.

Lin Zhisong, who also experienced the copy of [Full Moon Fear], thought about it and agreed with this point of view.

Jiang Fang added: "This game has a clear competition mechanism, and the number of players in the game is also limited. So, in your opinion, in the eyes of Gaowei people, what is the form of our game?"

Professional Yi Shuige gave a relatively reliable answer: "Each of us has a strong sense of autonomy and does not have a strong sense of being manipulated. All survival choices in the game are made by ourselves, and the sense of participation from the outside world It's not strong. So, I guess it's a live broadcast, a game live broadcast, and betting on the market."

Speaking of now, the situation is gradually becoming clearer.

Their opponent, the "god" who towers over them with abilities, skills, and oxygen, may not be entirely indestructible.

Jiang Fang asked Lin Zhisong, "Have you told Team He about our private association?"

Lin Zhisong replied: "No."

As Liang Shu said, Lin Zhisong was still a student soldier.

Although he is also willing to die for responsibility, but the disadvantage is that he has no consciousness and relatively loose organization and discipline.

Jiang Fang asked Yi Shuige again: "What about you? Did you tell Xie Xiangyu?"

"He thought he wouldn't wish to know about it."

Yi Shuige looked sideways, at the half-scarred shoulders exposed by his side, who was exhausted and lethargic, and covered him with the quilt.

He said with a smile: "If he knows that he was slept by so many people and he cares about face so much, he will probably go crazy on the spot."

The smile in Yi Shuige's voice became more and more obvious: "...then, he will definitely work hard to cooperate with us in solving Gaowei."

"In this way, he won't be in the mood to go out and make trouble."

Xie Xiangyu in the dream: "..."

He seemed to sense something bad, frowned, and moved his waist uncomfortably.

Compared with Yi Shuige's strange goal, Lin Zhisong is obviously more pragmatic.

"They may also be monitoring us now. They may be able to hear all the plans we say, and they will hear what we do." He said rationally, "It is very likely that we are hiding our behavior now. any sense."

Jiang Fang smiled brightly: "Yes, there is a possibility that in the end, the winner will not be able to realize his wish. Everything is just a mirror image."

Lin Zhisong heard his overtones and fell silent.

Jiang Fang said: "Instead of believing that everything is meaningless, it is better to believe that meaning exists."

Yes.

They should have a little hope, a little luck.

Otherwise, what will be left to them will only be the despair of being slaughtered.

Lin Zhisong: "Can we take any effective countermeasures?"

Jiang Fang and Feng Xiaoyu said: "How do they control us? If it's data, why can't we counter it?"

... High-dimensional people also use C language and go?

Lin Zhisong finally vented his anger.

He felt that Jiang Fang was lying.

Yi Shuige said, "It's not impossible."

"No matter how they develop later, the foundation and origin of this game is always "Gravity."

When talking about his major, Yi Shuige added a bit of unspeakable fanaticism in his tone: "...it is "Gravity" developed by ourselves."

However, he also quickly recovered his normal thinking ability.

"But we don't have computers. I can't squeeze one out with my bare hands," he said.

Lin Zhisong: "...I have."

When he was teleported in, he carried many sophisticated electronic communication tools.

It's just that there is no signal after coming in, just like a mobile phone, it is useless.

He pointed to the reality of the problem: "There is no Internet."

"I heard from Yinhang that you can make grenades." Jiang Fang casually made an extraordinary request, "Then can you build a base station?"

Lin Zhisong: "..."

Jiang Fang: "I heard that domestic infrastructure capabilities are world-class."

Jiang Fang: "In the safe place, it seems that these raw materials are not difficult to obtain."

"It's nice to even pry open a gap to see their world, and see the faces of the things that look at us, isn't it?"

This is simply a fantasy.

Lin Zhisong was dumbfounded for a while, then remembered to ask: "Then what are you doing?"

Jiang Fang said in a warm tone, "Ah, what does this have to do with me?"

Yi Shuige: "..."

Lin Zhisong: "..."

Yi Shuige was the first to wake up.

He smiled and asked, "So, this is not cooperation, but temptation?"

From the very beginning, Jiang Fang had been using the information he possessed to confuse the two of them step by step and work for him.

Both of them are unique technical talents.

Since it is a talent, there are always some inexplicable fanaticism.

As long as this fanaticism is induced, they are willing to do anything.

For example, the young Lin Zhisong closed his eyes and lay beside the four "Bronze" teammates, pretending to be asleep, but his body was shaking with excitement and his fingertips were burning hot.

Looking at the sly light in his own eyes in the mirror, Jiang Fang smiled and said, "You don't have to do it."

Yi Shuige laughed.

His tone became leisurely: "We can't do it with just the two of us."

He seemed careless, but anyone who knew him well knew that this was a sign of his fighting spirit being ignited.

Jiang Fang said: "I remember that there are many idlers in the safe point who can't even eat enough, and almost have no money to buy oxygen. Before they entered the game, they wouldn't be like this."

There is also gold buried in those ordinary teams.

For example, the architect Zhao Guanglu who failed in the ghost guessing game.

Another example is in [Xiaoming's Daily Life], the computer expert Shouhou who contributed his own strength.

They are in the copy, they may be delayed, they may be timid, and they may cause trouble, but they are valuable.

Everyone should be valuable.

Knowing this, Lin Zhisong unconsciously clenched his fists, and hot sweat broke out on his back.

As if they could really pierce the hazy sky and see the faces of Gaowei people.

Yi Shuige asked Jiang Fang, "Aren't you doing anything?"

"We are also working." Jiang Fang's tone was as warm as a spring breeze, "We will win, we won the first place, we will be the ones who make wishes, and you are our backing, the second fortress."

"One computer, as long as it has an S-level duplication card, it can duplicate ten, twenty, or hundreds of units."

"It's not bad to kill them instead of infighting with the abilities given to us by the high-dimensional beings."

"Even if everything you do is useless, it won't make those people feel worthless before they die. Isn't it?"

"A good speech." Yi Shuige smiled, "Although it is used to persuade others to work for him, it is very effective."

After some see-sawing, the three finally reached a preliminary cooperation intention and mutual recognition.

The details still need to be worked out.

In the future, this spiritual line must be very busy.

Before hanging up, Lin Zhisong asked, "Can I ask a question?"

Jiang Fang: "Me?"

"Yes." Lin Zhisong asked, "Why are you the only one left alive?"

Yi Shuige kindly reminded: "Little brother, talking like this is easy to get beaten."

But Jiang Fang rarely gave an answer frankly: "Because everyone is dead."

Lin Zhisong: "..." Ah, isn't this nonsense.

Just as he was about to get to the bottom of it, he heard Jiang Fang say, "Including me, I should be dead too."

Lin Zhisong froze, opened his mouth, and was about to ask again.

——There was a disconnected beep from Jiang Fang's side in time.

Lin Zhisong: "..."

Yi Shuige laughed, thinking that Jiang Fang was really a bad person.

Lin Zhisong pursed his lips, sullen.

Even if Jiang Fang was talking nonsense, he would definitely be tortured to sleep tonight because of Jiang Fang's ambiguous words.

……

Jiang Fang who hung up the line walked out of the bathroom slowly.

When he stepped out of the bathroom, a bronze bell in the "Ancient City State" rang the time.

At the same time, the World Channel officially announced that the pursuit of thousands of people was over.

Winner, "Cubic Ark", Nanzhou.

In such a peaceful atmosphere, the chasing battle of thousands of people, which should have been full of gunpowder, ushered in a rather dull end.

Even though many players who can't sleep at night know that the result is bound to be like this, they still grit their back molars uncontrollably.

With 82000 points, "Cubic Ark" once again stepped on those players who entered the dungeon early and tried their best to climb up, and advanced to six places leisurely.

They finally entered the team's top ten mark.

In addition to the trial level, they played all the games and only played 5 copies.

Jiang Fang turned off the control panel, ignoring the invisible jealousy and unwillingness coming from all directions.

He walked to the side of the bed and knelt on one knee.

The slight sag of the mattress made Nanzhou, who had been awakened by the sound of the bell for a little while, let out a low "huh".

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Fang.

Having dealt with one important thing, there is another.

... something more important.

In front of Nan Zhou, he faded away from the strange and deceptive language charm just now.

He no longer speaks eloquently, and no longer advances or retreats with empty words.

"I'm lying to you, but I don't have that many friends." Jiang Fang leaned into his ear and said softly, "You are the only one I have."

The author has something to say:

The bewitched Jiang Fang was bewitched by a cat
