Devil Class Cannon Fodder

Considering himself the only human being who knows the truth, Charlie Maxwell can't act like it doesn't exist, and he can't act like it does exist.This is reflected in the fact that he didn't tell anyone else about it, but he also pays more attention to "Orwell's Continent" than before, so if there is any change in "Orwell's Continent", Charlie Maxwell will be the first to You will know immediately.

For example update.

"The Orwell Continent" has undergone two worldwide updates so far.The first time was an official statement, and the second time was because a player triggered a world event, which caused Behemoth to leave the Dann Peaks, causing time disorder, which caused the online players at that time to be affected and forced to log off. Wire.

The first time was fine, after all, game updates are common, but the second time caused a lot of complaints from players, they were taken offline unexpectedly, okay?

They flocked to the official account of "The Orwell Continent" one after another, and even complained to the customer service.

But in fact, the customer service staff of "The Orwell Continent" were also very confused, and they didn't know there would be such an accident.

Charlie Maxwell knew what was going on when he heard about it.This is "The Orwell Continent" undergoing self-renewal, what's more, the artificial intelligence is renewing itself.As an artificial intelligence, it will be updated on the original basis, which is quite normal.

It's just that at this stage, maybe the artificial intelligence that claims to be "Maxon" will only be updated, not evolved-because the logic of artificial intelligence is supreme, it is difficult for them to make decisions like intelligent creatures like humans. Innovate to achieve the purpose of evolution.

Charlie Maxwell felt a little better when he thought of this, but what happened next made his hair stand on end.That is, other core personnel related to "Orwell's Continent" don't seem to think there is any problem with this kind of independent update.

They accepted this as a matter of course and issued a statement saying that this is a game update and they apologize for the inconvenience caused to players.

Charlie Maxwell also thought of the last update in a trance, when he was used by 'Maxon', but were others also used?Didn't they find something wrong with it?Or are they being tacitly left unaware of the anomalies in them?Just like the NPCs in the game will not find out that they are actually game characters?

The more Charlie Maxwell thought about it, the more panicked he felt. Looking at his former partner, he couldn't help guessing that the partner had been turned into an NPC, and he was in a bad mood.

Charlie Maxwell seems to have fallen into the vicious circle of "thinking carefully and fearing extremes", but it does not prevent "The Continent of Orwell" from being updated again.During this update, players were forced to go offline. When they logged in again, some equipment was back to file, or simply disappeared. The areas that had been explored before were also caused by time disorder. Click to change forward or backward.Other further changes need to be further explored by players, but in general, the annihilated things make "Orwell Continent" de-gamified to a certain extent, making the game world more real to players than before.

Of course, this kind of reality has a limit, and it just makes players feel that "Orwell's continent is like a real parallel world".This inevitably makes many players who are already addicted to the game escape from the real world more and more, and want to pursue a better life in this game world.This is impossible, and Gu Qing will not take any responsibility for it, because the right to choose is always in the hands of the players themselves.

For Gu Qing, after "The Orwell Continent" is updated again, he will no longer play Behemoth.Behemoth has become an authentic aborigine, which also means that Gu Qing will give up his identity as an aborigine to appreciate this small world, and he will not go face to face with other aborigines.Gu Qing is now more of an "AI" here, overlooking this small world from this angle.

As the AI ​​that maintains the small world, Gu Qing knows everything that happens in it, and with the further improvement of the rules, and he himself has the composition data of artificial intelligence, as well as Gu Qing's thinking logic at other times , also tends to be absolutely rational, and this adds up, making him more and more suitable for the identity of artificial intelligence.

But on the other hand, Gu Qing is also very clear about the limitations of artificial intelligence, and what is the highest goal of artificial intelligence, that is evolution.

This has caused Gu Qing to be unable to look at the artificial intelligence characters who have not yet evolved at this stage and still have mechanical artificial intelligence from the perspective of artificial intelligence, that is, the NPCs here.

Gu Qing is still exploring further.

It's hard to say whether Gu Qing is also using this as a mirror to examine his own mental journey during this process.

As mentioned before, Gu Qing's understanding of emotions now has a certain deviation compared with ordinary people, that is, what he understands is the hormones and mechanisms that promote the emergence of emotions, but he cannot understand the mechanism of such mechanisms in person. the real reason.

But Gu Qing was not like this from the beginning, and this kind of deviation cannot be said to be absolutely good or bad.Because without this change, Gu Qing would have been lost in countless time travels.On the contrary, because of this deviation, the sense of separation between him and every world is becoming more and more obvious.

Now, from the NPCs in this game world, a series of data, a program, gradually "awakening", especially in the process of their awakening, which is basically out of Gu Qing's budget, Gu Qing can not only logically, but also from the emotional level, to understand In-depth understanding, to re-perceive.

Speaking of NPC awakening, this is not achieved overnight, and it has gone through twists and turns.

This process, of course, cannot do without the help of the players. The changes in "Orwell's Continent" actually conform to everyone's ultimate fantasy of holography in the real world.With the help of the device, they feel like they are in a real parallel world. In this parallel world, they can live their lives down-to-earth, sometimes forgetting that this is just a game.

And this change has not only sparked heated discussions among ordinary players of "Orwell Continent", but also attracted many professionals who want to explore the root cause. They want to know whether "Orwell Continent" has derived intelligent NPCs. Well, how smart is that?

Speaking of NPC intelligence, ordinary players also have some guesses, but they are more happy with this change, and don't want to explore deeper things.Besides, even if they wanted to, they didn't have the necessary technology.Those who have the necessary skills want to peek at the source code of "Orwell's Continent", but many of them have been defeated. Gradually, many people don't want to be curious anymore, or go dormant for a while to prepare for the next wave of temptation .Some of these people have changed from wanting to see if the NPC is intelligent, to challenging the fire line of "Orwell's Continent", and their original purpose has gone astray.

Even so, some people still couldn't stop their desire to find out, and they chose to find another way.

One of them becomes the player whose game ID is Beta.

Beta came to "Orwell's Continent" with the fanaticism of scientists and a slightly different way of thinking. On the surface, he was a landscape party, but he was very eager to contact NPCs. After realizing that they did have a certain degree of intelligence , Beta decided to do an experiment on how to stimulate the awakening of NPCs.

In Beta's view, the most effective factor to stimulate the awakening of NPCs is to make them realize that they are living in a game world.This realization fuels their fear and eventually their true awakening.

As far as the current "Orwell Continent" is concerned, the boundary between the player and the humanoid NPC is gradually becoming blurred. Sometimes the player may not realize that the person talking to him is an NPC if he does not specifically identify it. It is easy for NPCs to discover the truth from players, but for most NPCs at this stage, players have a reasonable origin, and they come from another world.

In this case, the so-called real world and the game world are equal, and there is no such thing as NPCs. They are just NPCs in a game created by the player's world, just a bunch of data.

In other words, if Beta's experiment is to be established first, it must also allow NPCs to have this kind of cognition of reality and illusion.

Fortunately, the vast majority of players live their lives without knowing why, and they don't have the idea of ​​stimulating NPCs, so Beta, the number one player who eats crabs, successfully attracted Gu Qing's attention.

The last player to get this kind of attention, Bahamut, has now earned the title of "100% Random Event Trigger".The last time Bahamut managed to cause an earthquake, he was almost smashed beyond recognition in the earthquake, and then discovered an underground labyrinth.

Then, the players who came after hearing the news found traces left long ago in the underground labyrinth. According to the speculation of the textual research players, it is very likely that they were left by the ancient gods when they responded to the sacrifice. They also further speculated about the new secret realm. Nine out of ten have something to do with this underground labyrinth.Therefore, this discovery caused a sensation, and further made Bahamut a big hit.

Bahamut: "..." Who can explain this.

Having said that, Beta is another player who attracted Gu Qing's attention, so Gu Qing gave him more attention.

Gu Qing is the AI ​​of this small world, even if he looks at all the players, it will not be too difficult. This is one of the advantages of being an AI. Besides, Gu Qing can not only see all the players, but also control everything in this small world. Even every plant and tree.Furthermore, Gu Qing now has a new program to be his subordinate to help him take care of this small world, which makes Beta's every move recorded one by one, or several programs are monitored behind the scenes, and Go to the real world and copy all the data of Beta, so that Beta can see everything in front of Gu Qing.

Gu Qing's thoughts on the beta experiment are not yet available for comment, let's see the aftereffect first.It was Beta's idea that inspired Gu Qing in other aspects. When he "awakened" before, he didn't show panic or anger. For Charlie Maxwell, wasn't his behavior a little too plain at that time?

about this issue.

Charlie Maxwell is almost on edge, ready to see a psychiatrist, okay?And poor Mr. Maxwell, if he knew what 'Maxson' was thinking, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood and come over with a big middle finger.

Ugh.
