Killing Mary Sue [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Miss Cheng Yuan had a very magical day.

First of all, as one of the GMs, she used her trumpet in the game to muster up the courage to confess to a male god player she knew in "Oasis", and got a positive response from the other party, making her feel that 1 and 0 Both figures became lively and vivid.

Then a weird scene happened——she was taking advantage of her spare time to happily have a relationship with the male god online, when a voice message suddenly popped up in the lower right corner, and the sender's name was "J".Ms. Cheng Yuan was still thinking that this ID seemed a bit familiar, but her hand subconsciously opened the message faster than her thinking, and then a lazy female voice came to her ears——

"Hey, Yaoyaoling, I have something to talk to your boss—oh I mean, my boss..."

The upright Ms. Program Yuan hadn't figured out how this person knew the GM exclusive insider, so she retorted reflexively, "What's the matter? The boss is not here now, maybe I can—"

Before she finished speaking, she stopped suddenly, and asked back in a daze, "Wait——J?! You, aren't you—"

"Hello," the other party greeted her with a smile, and sent a smiley face emoji composed of a series of facial expressions, "ヽ(￣▽￣) Good morning, cutie, today is really a very fulfilling and beautiful day, isn't it ?"

……

Wadeworth, who was at home with his wife and children on the stove that day, received an emergency call from a company employee.

Wade, who was playing Pac-Man with his son in the yard, heard the sound of his wife Samantha knocking on the window. He turned his head and looked. Samantha pointed to his office on the second floor and gestured to answer the phone.So he stroked his son's soft hair and promised to continue watching "Ultraman" with him tomorrow, and then his son reluctantly let go and turned to play with the Labrador at home.Wadeworth got up and went up to the second floor, and walked to the VR game room dedicated to him. He had just landed in the "Oasis", and before he had fully entered the game universe, he heard a crazy roar from the message box——

Wade opened the letters curiously, and read them one by one. When he saw the familiar ID, his brows slightly moved, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled very amusingly.

……

Wadeworth, incarnate as "Parsifal," found his purpose for the trip atop one of California's most famous bridges, J.

He drove the aircraft and landed slowly on the giant steel tower of the Golden Gate Bridge, looking up at the back of the person sitting at the end.As we all know, the Golden Gate Bridge is famous for its dense fog. Since its establishment, the bridge has been "winded" several times due to too much wind.This virtual game is no exception, her back is facing her, her long black hair is blown into a mess, the fingers on both sides of her body are bouncing happily, shaking her head, and there is a faint humming in the wind, Wade stopped at the spot and listened attentively, only then could he vaguely hear that she was humming the BGM song "stayinalive" that he once played with his wife Samantha when they engaged in a game with Yiwu.

"Music cloud and women warm,

Loud music, hot girls

I've been kicked around since I was born.

Since I was born, I've wandered around"

He subconsciously caught the familiar lyrics behind.

"Lifegoin' nowhere. Somebodyhelpme.

Life goes nowhere.Someone help me. "

"I'm staying in' alive."

I am alive.

Wade looked at her back quietly, and in his eyes, this avatar was different from all the players in the oasis—the ID "J" hanging above her head was red instead of the normal white, which proved that revealed her identity: an NPC rather than a human.To be precise, the first autonomously born intelligent program in the oasis is an interesting bug.

Wade walked over slowly, sat beside J, looking at the bright lights on the other side, even the thick fog could not cover up the brightness of the city.He and J sat here quietly for a long time, until she finished singing the song, and then lazily raised his knees, propped his cheeks, and looked sideways at the legendary player who reshaped history——

"What a magnificent bridge." Unexpectedly, J did not ask his identity, nor did he mention his purpose of coming here, but instead said with a sense of exclamation, "—take the time to appreciate it, otherwise it will be later It's time to be bombed again."

Ordinary people would not be able to understand the meaning of her words for a while, but Wadeworth understood it immediately and smiled instantly.

The Golden Gate Bridge is not only known as a miracle of bridge engineering in the 20th century, but also a bridge that has been sadly urged in history. It has been "destroyed" countless times in the open and in the dark, and there are no less than dozens of times in his memory——

In "Call of Duty 11", once the player fails the mission, the Golden Gate Bridge will be blown to pieces.The movie "Terminator 5: Genesis" also blew up the bridge to show respect when the missiles attacked the earth. "X-Men 3" Magneto throws the entire bridge across the bridge without batting an eye. In the earthquake incident in the 1978 version of "Superman", the law-abiding citizen Superman was eager to save people, and he didn't care about the life and death of the bridge at all. In "Godzilla", the Golden Gate Bridge unfortunately blocked its way of chasing love, so it was cut in half. In "Journey to the Center of the Earth", the high temperature radiated by the earth melted alive and left no bones. The first monster in "Pacific Rim" destroyed coastal cities first, and the Golden Gate Bridge unfortunately included them. In "The Doomsday Collapse", the giant ship rolled by the tsunami smashed into the bridge so as not to die...

The world's worst MMP of the Golden Gate Bridge.

And the world they are in now is the part of the animated film "War Aliens" released by DreamWorks. According to the plot, the heroine Susan will soon start a war with aliens on this bridge.While the Golden Gate Bridge is still intact, J sits side by side with Wadeworth's virtual character "Parsifal" on the steel tower, looking at the night scene on the other side of California, performing the most unbelievable scene in "Oasis". Dialogue——

"How is Miss Program Yuan?" J asked with a smile, "Is she alright?"

Wade laughed hard, "It looks fine—I mean the physical aspect, but maybe she needs to rest for a while to digest the fact that 'the NPC took the initiative to call herself'."

J shrugged and said sincerely, "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare her."

"It doesn't matter." Wade said with a relaxed tone, paused, and turned his head to stare at J. This holographic game, which has invested countless funds, has reached the world's top level in terms of various technologies, so the visual effects it presents are indistinguishable. The doubt is very real.He could clearly see J's features, including the smile in those silver-gray eyes, and the luster flowing in every strand of hair-this is the masterpiece of founders Moreau and Halliday, and now he inherits deleted them.

"Oasis" has developed to the present, and it is almost impossible to have any procedural errors, and some are just artificially exploiting loopholes in the rules.And sitting in front of him at this moment is the first complete, intelligent, and unaffected by management authority BUG born in this virtual universe. This can be said to be extremely novel to him, overturning the "impossible condition" "A consequence of the probabilistic event that arises, a miracle.

And now, this miracle is sitting face to face with himself, having a relaxed and pleasant conversation, and apologizing to his employees in an apologetic tone-Wadeworth can hardly describe how he feels at the moment, but he must admit that he is very concerned about this Everything about the combination of miracles is full of curiosity, and he is even thinking about how to communicate with an NPC so that it doesn't look so weird——

But before he finished thinking about it, J just smiled at him for a moment after saying that, and suddenly reported a string of unfamiliar IDs.

"Angelabigbaby, songofabeach," she said while snapping her fingers, "I just want to try to see how long this game can last, 厊奀烎嘉嬲刕, the illegal name is E4396..."

Wade waited quietly for her to finish speaking, paused for a moment, and asked curiously, "These are all your friends?"

J tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head, and said with a brisk smile, "I don't even know them—but I think you'll be interested in these players, given that they should be known by 'Oasis'." contribution."

That's right, the players of the IDs mentioned by Jane are the real discoverers of the legendary missions in the previous life. If they follow the normal plot, they should all leave their names on the stone tablet in the park in the oasis to be remembered by future generations.But it is a pity that in this life, they are all just unknown little characters, and no one except relatives and friends will remember the existence of these people.The reason is simple: they may only have one chance in their lifetime to be snatched away by the reborn, and the "number one player" feels unapologetic about this, and it's only natural.

J Traveling around the plane is not just for liking, but the main purpose is to collect data.She traveled around almost all game worlds, had conversations with every NPC, browsed every post that appeared on the forum, and even the gossip and chats among players... She never let go of any information, picked it out, screened it, and summarized it , combined with the background information that comes with Life One, finally found these five names——

"The world is so big that it's easy to get lost," J lamented. "No wonder so many people don't want to go out once they're in, and they unanimously claim that 'Tuesday and Thursday' are the bad days of life..."

Since Wadeworth took over the company, he decided to close the server two days a week to encourage people to care more about real life rather than indulging in virtual games.After he found the easter eggs left by Halliday and found his true love, he stopped logging in to the game so frequently, and only occasionally went up to see this dream place that he loved, pursued, and would last his whole life.For him, "Oasis" is not just a game, but also a refuge in his youth, where he spent the most difficult period of his life and is always grateful.But he also knows very well in his heart that games can bring people fun, but only reality can make people have a hot meal.

In fact, Wade has heard of J's name a long time ago, and knows that there is an NPC who is keen on world travel and teasing players.He once asked the chief designer in the company if he had ever created such a character, and the answer he gave was within his expectations.He didn't ask the administrator to stop J's wonderful autonomous behaviors, but instead observed J's every move from time to time, trying to understand how she operated and what her ultimate purpose was.But he guessed and guessed, no matter what, he never thought that she would take the initiative to call the game party and guide himself here——

Isn't she afraid of being discovered and eliminated in one fell swoop? ——Almost all programmers do this when dealing with bugs.

Wadeworth found it amusing.Programs have always been good at calculation and copying, but this one is better at processing and summarizing, which is really interesting.

He saved the video of his conversation with her, and at the same time sent a message to the programmers, asking them to track and investigate the information of the five IDs that appeared in her words.The "Parsifal" in the game interface smiled shyly, his tone was very gentle, and there was still some youthful high spirits vaguely.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that this day will come," Parsifal said with a smile, "Having a conversation with an NPC outside of the plot design... This kind of little easter egg from the game world always surprises people. "

J shrugged, "Then congratulations on your dream come true, Mr. Parsifal, I believe this meeting will impress you."

Parsifal stared at her, and after a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Everything will inevitably have loopholes, some must be erased, while others can be kept."

J blinked, "Then what would you choose, Wade?"

Instead of answering one of her questions, the young explorer brought up another.

Parsifal, "Is this game fun, J?"

She thought about it, and answered firmly, "This is the best game I've ever seen."

He looked pleased, "So you liked it?"

Jane raised her eyebrows, "It's so cool, isn't it!"

Parsifal smiled. He looked at the beaming NPC with unexpectedly gentle eyes, "Then, you are very welcome to stay, J, I heard that many people are very interested in you."

J raised his eyebrows, "I'm not interested in them."

Parsifal shrugged, "Okay, still, thank you for your contribution to the oasis—because everyone suspects that you are a real person played by my relative."

J sighed, "Believe me, if that were the case, I would be much more arrogant than I am now."

Parsifal couldn't help laughing, "You know that sooner or later I will find out that the bug exists, right?"

J said meaningfully, "Hmm... Which Bug are you referring to?"

Parsifal smiled without saying a word.

So J replied briskly, "Well, I do know, in fact, I have been waiting for you."

Parsifal, "Are you not afraid that I will remove those bugs myself?"

J thought for a while, "Well...how should I put it, risks and opportunities always coexist—not to mention, as the only number one player who found the three keys and discovered the menu left by Halliday...I think , that person's perspective on things must be different from ordinary people. He can always find those little joys that others can't find."

Parsifal listened quietly, and at the end, he said with emotion, "I really didn't expect that I would discuss this with an NPC." He recalled the scene of the company's chaos after J called, and couldn't help laughing, "It's like most of them Think 'bugs are harmful'."

J also smiled, and asked him curiously, "How do you feel then?"

Parsifal smiled, "It's very real—I have to admit, it's like talking face to face with a real person."

J is quiet for a moment.

"But you also know that bugs don't last forever... Someone will always clean it up."

Parsifal replied humorously, "Isn't that why I pay a lot of money to hire the best programmers to work here? - to ensure that everything is in order and that a small mistake will not cause chaos in the world , people are panicked."

J smiled meaningfully. "What a coincidence," she said. "As another bug, that's what I was born for."

Normal people can't understand the meaning of their conversation at all. However, as a former severe Internet addict and hardcore game player, Wadeworth understood her meaning almost instantly, and also understood why she would report that unreasonable Related five IDs——

"As you said," Parsifal said with a gentle smile, "a bug won't last forever."

After a pause, he turned his head, nodded to J, and smiled, "Have fun, MissJ, nice to meet you."

J also smiled, nodded and replied, "Goodbye, Parsifal. Say hello to Artemis for me."

Then she watched the virtual character in front of her turn into smoke with a bang and disappeared in place.

Life No. [-], who had been watching for a long time, finally spoke at this moment.

[It’s really worthy of being the heir of James Halliday,] it sighed, [Only with a heart that loves games, can you discover the existence of those minutiae, and have an equal intersect with the 'bugs' that may cause the game to crash 】

Jane smiled and said nothing.

[You guessed that people like Wadeworth will come to you looking for clues, and will definitely listen to your words, right? 】Life No. [-] asked, 【And the IDs you provided are the most powerful evidence. Before the truth is revealed, even those administrators who know you exist as a bug will have nothing to do with you for a while——ha, I just said This task must not be difficult for you, awesome, mua! 】

[Everything has a cause and effect,] Jane smiled lightly, [If she chooses to seize the hard-won time after rebirth, work hard for her dream, and keep her feet on the ground, instead of plundering for quick success and instant benefits like now, and comfort herself that she can't help herself... ...the final outcome, but it was all different choices at that time]

[She thought she was doing it flawlessly, but in fact it was full of loopholes] Jane shook her head, [I haven't even investigated the background stories of those NPCs who have missions, understand the significance of those missions to the oasis, and directly use other people's achievements as For my own use...Think about it, if you copied other people's papers without missing a word, you never cast a glance at the "introduction", "reason for topic selection" and "research significance"... How should you face your tutors during your graduation defense? A barrage of questions? 】

She sighed, 【Cut the weeds but not the roots... It seems that rebirth didn't increase her IQ at all】

Life No. [-] also sighed, [Yeah, there are so many bugs in the logic, but they all choose to ignore them]

Rebirth is originally to make up for the shortcomings, to warn us that life is short, and to pursue what we love without regrets.But later on, this kind of rebirth turned into "revenge"—don't talk about freedom and ideals, they are just excuses. Only "revenge" is the ultimate salvation. This is the G-spot hidden in human nature, enough to It's so satisfying to overlook some glaring omissions.

What are the benefits of rebirth? Time lag in information, completely different perspectives on the big picture, and big data that can be summed up precisely and perfectly—literally and artistically: the predecessors plant trees and the descendants enjoy the shade.Today we have a more appropriate name for these advantages: cheating.

Rebirth is just going back in time, not resetting IQ.In the previous life, I was stumped by the multi-project time algorithm, and I will not suddenly realize the answer of "NP=P?" in this life.

Looking forward to rebirth is just a mediocre dream, and the brave will choose to stop losses in time.

[Having enjoyed enough fame, flowers, applause and admiration,] Jane sat on the top of the bridge, looking at the gradually brightening east, and the heat and brightness of the sunrise gradually enveloped her.

【Those things she once took away should also be returned】
