Forces of Temptation

When the thinking advances to this step, many previously buried undercurrents are formed in one go and detonated together.

"After "Gravity" opened its server, it should have been running stably for a year...a year and a half..." Li Yinhang tried hard to recall the specific time node, "During that time, what were you doing?"

Yuan Mingqing said: "That period of time was our 'observation period'."

"At the beginning, when the dungeon was not abandoned, in order to see more biological wonders, the game administrator accelerated the time flow of the dungeon. What you call the Cambrian, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods, until the catastrophe occurred , the copy was destroyed, in our timeline, but two years have passed."

"After receiving the instruction to discard the dungeon, in order to reduce energy consumption, the game administrator reduced the time flow rate in the dungeon to a constant value."

"This also led to the fact that when we discovered your existence, our world had just passed 1200 cosmic years. But you have passed a million years."

Nanzhou can probably understand what this time difference means.

"Eternal Day" created by the cartoonist Yongwu, as a novella comic, the time span of the virtual world has reached more than ten years, covering the whole process of Nanzhou from birth to being bitten in the neck by his sister.

But the serialization time of comics in the real world is only two years.

However, in a place that no one knows, Nan Zhou actually spent those years.

"After discovering you, the scientific research personnel adjusted the time flow of the two worlds to synchronize at the first time, so as to avoid allowing you to gain time for development when we conduct investigations-after all, you have connected the copy through data in a wrong way In the world, that engineer surnamed Cen can hide this secret for a year or two, but paper can never contain fire."

"Once your high-level personnel find out, with your current technical strength, the understanding and construction of the data world is very likely to achieve an exponential leap and take off, and become a creature on the same level as us. If this is the case, we will be in trouble. "

"During that year and a half, we integrated all the information you have developed so far; at the same time, we are also observing you."

"Then, we found something even more troubling."

"You have realized the upgrade and update of the individual version by yourself, and you are no longer the clone creatures that we could control in the past."

Jiang Fang: "But you still tried to control it."

Yuan Mingqing nodded: "Of course."

Jiang Fang: "You have used the game "Gravity" itself."

Yuan Mingqing nodded again: "Yes, we must conduct a sample test on your basic situation. "Gravity" is a data world created by you humans. It is very convenient for us...free test Clothes."

"After a few simple data plundering tests, we successfully intercepted the data. Through lottery, we randomly selected 300 game players and detained them in the system as experimental subjects..."

Jiang Fang recalled the occasional bug that he couldn't quit when he was power leveling, and the stinging pain in his temple caused by abnormal equipment, and lowered his eyes.

Nan Zhou who was sitting beside him thought he was in a bad mood and wanted to grab his hand.

But his wrist was held by Jiang Fang ahead of time.

Dry and warm palms pressed against his wrists.

Jiang Fang looked at him with a smile: "Look, don't I have a chance to see you now?"

Yuan Mingqing was obviously choked.

...Making these two fetal gods meet should be the biggest failure of Gaowei people in the whole experiment process.

After a moment of relief, he continued: "... We have not changed the dungeon mode in "Gravity" to test the average of your physical strength and intelligence. However, in order to make the obtained data more realistic, we have adjusted the Somatosensory system and death system."

This kind of murderer's activities, Yuan Mingqing said it should be taken for granted.

Li Yinhang felt uncomfortable for a while, but she swallowed her dissatisfaction seeing that the two big brothers didn't have any emotional reactions.

Anyway, in the eyes of people in the world of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, they are indeed just a group of inferior creatures who are weaker than them and can have fun at will.

After thinking for a while, Nanzhou got Yuan Mingqing's meaning: "At first, you just wanted to test the degree of control over the existing creatures in this dungeon, and didn't want to have fun?"

"Yes." Yuan Mingqing affirmed Nanzhou's conjecture, "However, the performance of the testers in the game is indeed entertaining and entertaining. This just meets our needs and directly leads to high-level criticism of the "Gravity" plan." upgrades and fixes."

Nanzhou: "Turn 'exploring human beings' into an 'entertainment project'?"

Yuan Mingqing: "No, it should be 'reset copy'. Because this is our playground."

When Li Yinhang suddenly realized, his hands and feet also felt numb and cold: "At 2 pm on February 5th, the phrase 'sun.exe is not responding' we saw on the sun..."

Yuan Mingqing: "We did it. We deliberately used a different human language so that each of you can understand it, and Windows 16 happens to be the computer system you widely use, so it is a warning that you can understand at your current technical level. .This is a humanitarian reminder, to remind you that the world you are in is a copy, and to inform you to make relevant preparations."

Li Yinhang understood.

Why a large-scale accident broke out in "Gravity", causing hundreds of people to go into a coma and shock, but it was only a few months later, on February 2, that the sun appeared strange.

...Because the high-dimensional creatures in the process of observing human beings aroused their strong yearning for entertainment in their barren spiritual world.

And the time difference between these two incidents directly caused many people to not connect the accident of "Gravity" with this incident at all.

When there is a problem with the sun, there is an absurd speculation that is all the rage: "It may be that aliens are maintaining the Earth online".

Who would have thought that this guess is the most in line with the facts?

However, there was a problem with cause and effect.

That's not maintenance at all, it's a warning.

Yuan Mingqing continued: "The hundreds of copies of the "Gravity" test server are definitely not enough. After the testers provided us with enough data, we began to try to add some new elements to test the limits of human beings. .”

Jiang Fang said sarcastically: "The new elements, do you mean the brand new dungeon and PVP mode?"

"Yes." Yuan Mingqing readily admitted, "But as the test progressed, we discovered many limitations."

"To put it simply, because you are no longer creatures that we can control, we cannot plan your action path and limit your thinking ability. Your high degree of autonomy determines that the official server of "Gravity" can only be a battle. Watch the game."

"After determining the game format, we created some small space-time channels, pulled players into a safe point, distributed some props to you, gave you some abilities, and then put you into our pre-designed mass dungeon, Let you decide for yourself whether to win or lose, and the audience will watch and bet on which group will win in the end."

Jiang Fang asked: "So, the reason why there are no old people and children in the game is...?"

Yuan Mingqing replied: "We don't use children and the elderly as players. Based on the actual situation of your evolution, we have established an entertainment treaty that the game characters must not be under 18 years old and over 60 years old."

"In this way, players who are not suitable for high-intensity games can be screened out physiologically, and it also meets our entertainment regulations."

Jiang Fang let out a huff.

In the annihilation of humanity, there are still some specious humanity.

Nanzhou's ability to focus on key points is a must: "You have a 'treaty'."

Yuan Mingqing was also surprised by Nanzhou's keenness: "Yes. Just like you humans plan games, you also need to set the ultimate goal of the game, the means to achieve this goal, and the final reward, right? Before making a game, we all It is necessary to submit a detailed plan in advance and formulate relevant treaties for this copy.”

"Especially, "Gravity" is a game with a competitive nature, and there will be a No.1 in the end. Since there is a number one, there must be rewards, so that the nature of the game can be satisfied, and the entire game logic can be established."

"This is an 'iron rule' that the game world cannot violate. It is a prerequisite for the establishment of the game. Even if we are the ones who make the rules, we must abide by them."

"...Let me make an analogy."

"You should all have discovered that if you set your original world as world line A, each copy and safe point in the "Gravity" game is set as world line B, and our world is set as world line C, for C world line It is convenient for us to watch, the time flow rate of B and C is the same frequency, and the flow rate of A is slowed down. Therefore, five days have passed in A, and more than half a year has passed in B."

"This is also pre-set, and it is an 'iron rule' of time that cannot be changed. Therefore, this determines that the game party cannot go back in time, modify what has happened in the copy and the safe point, and this is also to ensure the fairness of the game .”

Having figured this out, Li Yinhang immediately lifted his spirits, and looked at Nan Zhou: "That is to say——"

Nanzhou responded: "As long as we can win, the wish we made will definitely be realized."

This is why Yuan Mingqing would rather take the risk to betray Gao Wei than to join them.

In this way, the problems encountered during the dungeon of [Sand, Sand, Sand] will be easily solved.

When the "iron rules" were first formulated, they did not set the clause "no replica creatures can be accommodated in the warehouse".

Probably because there is no such provision in the original copy of "Gravity".

In order to save Sun Guojing, Nan Zhou accidentally loaded the dungeon boss into the warehouse.

The game side's ignorance at that time can be imagined.

It's a pity that within the framework of the game, they can neither adjust the time flow rate nor forcefully break the pre-set rules. They can only make a deal with them after patching this rule and redeem the boss .

In addition, officials can manipulate time under certain conditions.

The dungeon of [Evil Falling] is a low-level dungeon made by the game party by capturing the scenes and characters of Tyrande five years ago.

This means that they have the data archives of the earth, and they can use the archives to achieve a real "time retrospective".

And the frog hands that appeared in [Fear of the Full Moon] and the incomprehensible words in the library in [Brain Invasion] have all been explained.

This shows that players from other dimensions have appeared here.

It may also be the remains left by the playthings of high-dimensional creatures.

As for the NPCs that make up the copy in [Brain Invasion], they are also adaptations based on fairy tales circulating in the earth.

This proves that the influence is mutual.

After brainstorming together, the group of four fell into a long silence.

Yuan Mingqing thought that he had shown enough sincerity, so he wanted to get their feedback: "You...do you have anything else to ask?"

Seeing that they were still silent, Yuan Mingqing faintly became anxious.

In order to show my position, did I confide too much in one breath?

What if they are completely unable to accept who they are?

If this seriously hits their enthusiasm, will winning be affected?

Thinking of this, Yuan Mingqing held back his anxiety, and cautiously probed: "You... can't accept it? Although it's a game character——"

Hearing what he said, Li Yinhang looked at him in surprise, and said, "What's wrong with the game characters? Since I was born, I haven't seen anyone cheating on us. I only have one life to use, and I may die in a car accident. I have a high fever." It is also possible to hang up, it is very precious."

Hearing that she accepted her identity so frankly, Yuan Mingqing was startled.

...He thought of something that happened not long ago.

Before the end of the thousand-person pursuit battle, Nanzhou, who had already secured the victory, was questioned by everyone on the world channel.

Some people questioned why they should trust "Cubic Ark" and not "Adam".

At that time, Nanzhou's answer was: "Because we have Li Yinhang."

When Tang Song saw this response on World Channel, he sneered and said, "The answer is so wrong. It's just a waste, and it's like a secret weapon."

At that time, Yuan Mingqing also didn't understand why Nanzhou raised Li Yinhang so much, so he laughed it off.

But now he seems to understand.

Li Yinhang has an ordinary IQ and ordinary force, but she has a pragmatic and tenacious human mind and soul.

live first.

Only by surviving can there be another chance to think about it.

Because of this, the struggle of human beings in the face of death is particularly interesting.

It is also very meaningful.

Jiang Fang leaned back, folded his arms and asked the two off-site personnel who held the telepathic communicator and listened to the whole conversation: "Did you hear that?"

... There was a long silence on Lin Zhisong's side.

He was so shocked that he could not speak.

And Yi Shuige let out a helpless smile after closing his eyes for a long time.

He finally understood what the "miracle" that crazy Vice President Cen was talking about was.

The passage leading to "Eternal Day" and to Nanzhou is indeed a miracle among miracles and a disaster among disasters for the entire human race.
