Forces of Temptation

Although a few people had eaten in the conscious world, they just bluffed and deceived their brains. Their bodies were still in a state of hunger and urgently needed to replenish energy.

It's a pity that the world channel is in chaos.

The emotions of the players are not anger at all, but confusion.

They don't know why "Adam" will suddenly combine with "Lifangzhou", and they don't understand why Qu Jinsha, who has been staying in the single chart and making a fortune silently, will enter a little-known team "Rumeng" Mix the water.

At present, neither of these two teams that can determine their fate can be trusted.

...But their fate fell into their hands.

With the current chaotic public opinion trends in the outside world, it may be unrealistic to want to eat out.

They simply stayed in the room, each holding an apple, to fill their stomachs before talking.

Yuan Mingqing had just escaped from a chase, jumping out of the window and running for his life, now his stomach was hurting badly, his appetite was poor, so he played with apples, thoughtfully.

Li Yinhang was still wary of him, and while stroking the hair on the forehead of Nan Jixing who was hugging her ankle, he asked him, "Are you hungry?"

Yuan Mingqing looked at Apple: "I remember that the first person to discover gravity was a man named Isaac."

Li Yinhang didn't know why he suddenly brought up this matter, so he looked at Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang.

Jiang Fang answered, "That's right. Here, we usually call him Newton."

Yuan Mingqing said: "He is very interesting. After we discovered your existence, he became a key topic of our planetary research."

Among the three, Li Yinhang and Jiang Fang put down the food in their hands except Nan Zhou who was still eating the apple with a serious and respectful attitude and parting out a little ear at the same time.

Yuan Mingqing took the initiative to mention the doubts that they have been concerned about since they entered the game, but no one is willing to answer them.

Why are they being pulled into this game for no reason?

What do the "people" behind it want to do?

Yuan Mingqing knew what they wanted to ask.

He squeezed the apple in his palm and gave the answer: "To be precise, this planet of yours was created by us."

Li Yinhang was taken aback for a moment, ready to say a word of bullshit.

Jiang Fang was also obviously taken aback.

He had a similar speculation, but after being confirmed, the first feeling was as if he was in a ridiculous story.

Among the three, Nan Zhou was the one who accepted this information the most.

He looked at the two of them and said calmly, "I was also created by you."

Li Yinhang: "..." Also.

Yuan Mingqing added: "In other words, our original purpose was not to create you."

Nan Zhou asked: "What exactly are you talking about 'we'?"

Yuan Mingqing tossed the apple back and forth between his hands, carefully organized his language, and said: "I have learned your language system, and express it in words you can understand. From what we can see, it is the so-called 'High-dimensional animals', but your growth path is what we have gone through; if you continue to grow, you are likely to become us in the end."

... Li Yinhang felt that he could not understand it.

Yuan Mingqing was also amused by his tongue twister and chuckled: "Well, let me give you an example."

He held up the apple.

"If we are the mature apples, you are the apple saplings that have just sprouted and protruded from the ground. We are in different states, but we all originate from a seed."

"Our growth history is exactly the same as yours."

"After tens of millions of years of evolution, historical evolution, separation and integration of countries, and gathering and dispersal of tribes, later, in order to survive more conveniently, we have mastered technology and realized technological evolution—we have successfully realized the transition from carbon-based life to silicon-based life. Transformation, we no longer depend on the physical body to survive, our consciousness can be uploaded and saved to the cloud, and the race has the hope of long-term existence.”

"Later, technology has achieved a breakthrough—we can manipulate data to reshape simple creatures, creatures, and even a data flesh that completely simulates the human body—for example, the me you see now. "

"We can recreate a city in virtual space, we can walk in the city as adults, and we can collapse into a piece of data at any time, as long as we want."

While listening to Yuan, Ming and Qing telling stories, Nan Zhou ate up the apple in his hand.

He said: "For a long time, I have something that I can't figure out. But your answer made me understand a little bit."

Yuan Mingqing: "What?"

Nan Zhou said: "I was created by the cartoonist 'Yong Wu'."

Yuan Mingqing: "I know."

Nan Zhou said: "I was created by people living in this era, so I have the appearance characteristics of modern people, and I can understand some things about people, but some things are still in the process of learning."

Speaking of this, he touched his slightly sore and swollen waist, and continued: "So, I heard Brother Fang said that when there will be high-dimensional audience watching us outside the stadium, I find it very interesting: you as human beings The evolutionary form of life has changed, how can we understand and appreciate the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of these "lower creatures" in your eyes? It won't be like we see ants walking, but don't understand what the ants are doing. ?"

Yuan Mingqing laughed self-deprecatingly: "No. Because we were also 'lower creatures' a long time ago. Same as you."

"But that created new problems."

Nan Zhou accurately threw the apple core into the trash can: "Have you lived for a long time?"

"No." Yuan Mingqing said, "I was born less than 200 years ago."

Nan Zhou was taken aback when he heard this answer.

When Nan Zhou started to tell the story from Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, because he was not a human being, he was the most stable of the three.

Seeing that he had special mood swings now, Yuan Mingqing was curious for a moment: "What's wrong?"

Nan Zhou said to himself: "Then you may indeed have some problems with your intelligence."

Yuan Mingqing: "..."

He wished he could slap himself.

Look at your bitch.

Talk too much and ask him what this kind of thing is for? !

Nanzhou ignored the vicissitudes on Yuan Mingqing's face, and continued to ask: "So, your evolution should have been completed for a long time. Why, as a product of the new generation, can you still understand human emotions?"

Yuan Mingqing sighed lightly.

What he was going to say next was related to the core secrets of his world. If he said it out, it would be a serious violation of the secrecy law.

However, only if he speaks out will it be more beneficial to them now.

It's just that once he really said it, "Cubic Ark" must win.

Otherwise, once the "Cubic Ark" loses, it will completely lose the protection of the "Wishing Law" in this world.

When he returns to the world that belongs to him, what awaits him will only be endless suffering in hell.

Yuan Mingqing said: "Because our technology has locked our desires and thinking together."

"We are data, but we can also make mistakes, and we can also have problems in non-stop calculations. In the end, the moment the calculations automatically stop, our lives disappear."

"But our lifespan is still very long compared to yours. Our average lifespan starts at about 1000 cosmic years."

"Because life is greatly extended, the cost of enjoyment is infinitely close to 0, and our need for reproduction is also reduced."

"Reproduction is just a pastime when you are bored. When someone feels bored, you only need to go to the relevant institution to apply, and you can customize the calculation according to your personal needs, and receive an ideal new child."

"After a new child is born, it will automatically be protected by our legal rules and will be automatically introduced to all the knowledge we have acquired so far. Therefore, as soon as each newborn is born, it basically has the ability to survive in our world Knowledge."

Nan Zhou added: "Understood. Knowledge does not include wisdom."

... Yuan Mingqing wanted to hit someone after hearing this.

But after thinking about it, he didn't protest.

Jiang Fang was also stunned: "But it's also because the data was input from birth, causing the thoughts and desires in your brain to be influenced by the predecessors, so they were locked up with high intensity?"

Yuan Mingqing nodded: "... After all, for us, it is a stamp that has been stamped in our brains since birth."

Nanzhou asked: "Is no one questioning?"

"Yes." Yuan Mingqing said, "But as soon as reform is mentioned, some people will question whether it is necessary to make newborns look like fools, learn knowledge from scratch, and finally cultivate a fool with only 10% brain capacity development. ?”

... Li Yinhang, who thought his brain development was only 7%, felt like he had been shot in the knee.

"Of course, the disadvantages are more than these."

"We have clear barriers, clear classes, and clear rules."

"Those who are willing to create and dare to make breakthroughs enjoy a high status among us. They are a type of people with higher authority and the power to formulate rules. They can mobilize better resources to serve others."

"People who don't want to take responsibility are the second type of people, who enjoy less authority. For example, the first type of people can eat foie gras at will, and the second type of people can only enjoy it once every half a universe month. But apart from this little inconvenience In addition, they can enjoy life more comfortably. The number of such people is the largest.”

"Also, those who violated the rules."

"These three types of people will be assigned to data factories to engage in tedious and dark data work, like scavengers in underground tunnels, serving only for the first and second types of people to live better until the data decays. . . . and it will take a long time."

… If he fails this bet, so will his fate for the next 800 years.

Yuan Mingqing lowered his head, adjusted his mood a little, and then continued: "We still have a prominent social problem-the birth rate of children is very low, but the suicide rate is high. Because everyone lives too long as a data, It would be no fun."

Jiang Fang said: "So, you put the focus of creation on developing new entertainment?"

As the conversation progressed, they finally touched on the core issue they were most concerned about in this conversation.

——"You guys, how did you choose us?"

Yuan Mingqing replied: "As I said at the beginning. Our original purpose was not to create you at all."

"In the beginning, we just wanted to make a 1:1 perfect copy of the ecological cycle of the universe, a rich and interesting copy of a large-scale game."

"This dungeon has a large area of ​​plants, a vast plain, abundant water sources, and continuous mountains. In short, it is designed for us to have fun. This is when we first uploaded our consciousness to the cloud. The game project development plan was still a huge test for our technical ability at that time."

"So, on the day this dungeon was born, it was listed on our daily activity list - it can be understood as your hot search."

"In the beginning, it was very popular, it could be used for parent-child camping, animal observation, and wild camping for some hardcore players. The most amazing thing is that after the initial script was drawn up, we found that It has a certain degree of evolution. As long as we run time relatively fast, every once in a while, it will evolve a brand new species."

"However, because of the high degree of simulation, everything runs automatically according to the law. In a certain cosmic day, a large-scale ecological disaster occurred in the copy itself. The erupting volcano wiped out almost all the creatures on it."

Seeing the inconceivable expression of Li Yinhang on the opposite side, Yuan Mingqing shrugged his shoulders: "Yes. The copy we developed, because it was too realistic, a huge collapse occurred."

"It's not impossible to repair it with our technical level, but it's no longer necessary. ... New games are emerging one after another, and the original designers were too ambitious, resulting in form over content. The needs of players can only be solved." Limited to playing camping + adventure games, but the designer added too many irrelevant materials-the ocean is too big, the forest is too vast, those amazing creatures, and the update iteration is too slow.”

"In short, in the end, it is obsolete by our time."

"After the copy went to natural destruction, we put the copy away and didn't care about it anymore."

Li Yinhang: "..."

She said in a harsh voice, "The 'creature' you're talking about isn't a dinosaur, is it?"
