The process of connecting to the host is not easy.

The "Intrusive Neurotransmitter Editor" embedded in the back of his head was slightly hot, and Li Liang felt his consciousness tremble. The feeling of emptiness that he didn't know what to do, was like a sleepless night, staying up until the early morning and just about to fall asleep and then suddenly woke up.

He was leaning on the back of the sofa, staring intently at the gypsum board ceiling. The sound of heavy breathing came to his ears. Guo Xudong and Fan Yazi had already connected to the host, but they sounded like they were asleep.

From the "snoring" of the two people and the hum of the equipment, he could distinguish some subtle movements. Not far away, Tang Xintao seemed to be quietly playing with her mobile phone, tapping the screen with her fingers to make a slight clicking sound.

No matter what the ultimate goal of the Time Observer is, at least this "illusion" is created with great "sincerity", the details of the characters and scenes are flawless, and the background story is also "full".

There was just one thing he always wondered about, why was the power from the gods so easily blocked, and when did he fall for it without any warning?

Since he, the "heavenly spirit", is unable to resist, Holy Priest Tripoca will inevitably be spared, so at this moment, Cain and Child Li...

This day still comes too soon.

Confusing thoughts kept flashing through his mind. After an unknown amount of time, Li Liang suddenly heard the familiar sound of an anti-gravity engine, followed by the sounds of noisy people, sirens, and advertisements.

A smiling and energetic voice came from the top of the head: "Good morning, it is eight o'clock in the morning on June 1, 3024, dear citizens, it is sunny and good weather today again, let us thank Xi'an together! "

"Thanks Xian!"

As countless people shouted in unison, Li Liang came back from his daze, and a line of words appeared in the darkness in front of him: "Tianling: The Age of Rise."

Just when he thought the BGM was going to sound again, or a cutscene was coming, the background noise suddenly stopped, and the lower right corner of his vision began to scroll:

"The umg component is strongly inserted by Zuoshan withered to zero, and the will is as urgent as the law: p"

"Create he asset browser..."

"Creating a World Outline..."

"Create details panel..."

“Creating a visual building platform…”

"Creating a time stream..."

"Development 010145 has been authorized, co-workers: Dongli Old Farmer (c3), Fanya Ya (l5)"

The next moment, the darkness receded, and the surrounding scene became extremely clear.

This is an apartment. The living room has been transformed into a "maintenance workshop". The lights are dim and the floor is dirty. There are tool cabinets, bionic accessories, and discarded cardboard boxes piled randomly. In the center of the floor, there is a semi-automatic maintenance and diagnosis machine tool with a human body lying on it. A young man was naked from the waist down, with blood dripping from his abdomen.

Standing next to the machine tool was an old man with a serious expression, his hair was messy, and he was dressed like a mechanic. His right eye was staring at the holographic console of the machine tool, but his inferior bionic left eye was looking in another direction, causing his entire face to look different. Seems very wise.

Messi.

Li Liang reacted and returned to Mesai Bionic Pet Hospital, returning to the moment he just woke up. However, at this moment, he was not the "protagonist" who was saved across thousands of years, but a ghostly bystander.

Time seemed to stop passing, and everything in the room froze. He slowly walked to Mesai and stared at the "Li Liang" lying on the machine bed.

"How about the model? It's perfect," Fan Yazi's voice suddenly sounded. "It has over 100 million faces and is rendered in real time. It far exceeds the accuracy that human vision can distinguish. Only Will Zero can do it."

Li Liang turned around when he heard the sound, but there was no one behind him.

"You have to exit running mode to see us, snap your fingers with your left hand."

He raised his left hand and snapped his fingers. Guo Xudong and Fan Yazi appeared out of thin air. At the same time, the world changed into another form.

From walls and floors to as small as a screw, all objects are wrapped in wire frames. Among them, objects with complex structures have layers of wire frames, and "Li Liang" and "Messe" have become two The "hedgehog" is covered with "directional arrows" and adjustable markings.

"This is the visual construction platform," Fan Yazi pointed the index finger of his right hand at the semi-automatic maintenance and diagnosis machine tool, and then stretched the other four fingers. The precision equipment weighing half a ton instantly floated into the air and disintegrated into countless tiny parts.

One of the metal shells flashed, and a scrollable panel popped up. As Fan Yazi's fingers traced and dragged, the rows of values ​​displayed on the panel kept changing. At the same time, the metal shell also grew larger and smaller, changing colors and shapes. In the end, it even turned into a spherical shape with wood patterns but translucent state.

"To put it simply, artists can adjust all parameters of each model, such as basic attributes, materials, special effects, collisions, etc. Programmers can also write scripts for it, but generally, such fine adjustments are done by The will of No. 0 is responsible, because all parameters need to go through a 'logical' test in the end, and all modifications that are illogical will be rejected by it."

"Each time you adjust the parameters and compile and save, you can 'run' it to see if the change passes the logic test, like this," Fan Yazi flipped his right hand and selected "Run" in the arc-shaped panel that popped up above his palm.

In an instant, the world began to exit the "edit" mode, and the wireframes around all the items disappeared one after another like an ebbing tide. Only the parts that made up the semi-automatic diagnostic and treatment machine tool were still flashing. The metal shell that had been modified into a spherical shape emitted red light, and a line appeared in mid-air. Reminder: "error: relative coordinates) material logic) function logic)"

"You see, the modified model is in the wrong position, has the wrong material, and has lost its original function after deformation."



Fan Yazi shrugged, quickly canceled the modifications to various values, and "run" again.

This time, the world is truly back to "normal."

"This is the main function of No. 0's will, to sort out the logic and make all the rules in "Tianling" logical." Fan Yazi snapped his fingers, exited "Run", and said with a smile, "Mr. Li... give it a try?"

Li Liang raised his right hand, and a similar curved panel immediately popped up above his palm, which looked like an operable holographic light curtain in the real world.

After roughly looking through the various "menu options", he put down his hand again and asked casually: "Is Will Zero a strong artificial intelligence?"

From the very beginning, he had been wondering what role the Time Observer would play. Now it seemed that the most likely "vest" might be Will Zero.

However, upon hearing this question, Guo Xudong sighed heavily.

Fan Yazi looked helpless: "Do you also think that Will Zero is a time observer? Well, Will Zero is the 'prototype' of 'Zero' in the setting of "Tianling", but it is actually just a program. The reason why it is called It’s called ‘strong artificial intelligence’ in the industry, but it’s actually a matter of definition.

Let's put it this way, our human intelligence level is actually not that high. The previous "strong artificial intelligence" or "complete artificial intelligence" is basically a false proposition. We simply cannot build a machine that is smarter than us. Every time humans sign If the field of sex is lost to computers, that field will no longer be regarded as a symbol of intelligence. From the earliest number calculations, Go, painting, to the current music and movies, what humans are best at anyway is deceiving themselves and others.

Human beings do not have a complete method to evaluate intelligence level, and the Turing test is just a joke.

Dr. Li Shuang gave Will Zero a knowledge-based reasoning algorithm. Will Zero showed efficient intelligence because it created a machine language and then wrote software for itself. As a result, no one could understand the code. No one can evaluate its intelligence level, so they have no choice but to define it as 'strong artificial intelligence'. "

"So, it has no self-awareness?"

"Nothing has been found so far," Guo Xudong said solemnly. "After the incident, our first consideration was that there was something wrong with Will Zero. Xiaofan and the others monitored the background. After the player entered the game, Will Zero did not have any suspicious behavior."

Looking around the faces of the two people, Li Liang was noncommittal. This rhetoric must also be one of the "background settings". It doesn't matter whether it is reasonable or not. If a time observer wants to achieve his goal, he will always show his flaws.

"Then let's...continue?"

After getting Li Liang's approval, Fan Yazi stretched out his left hand and made a weird gesture, and a "timeline panel" appeared in mid-air.

The upper side of the panel displays the time coordinates, and the lower side shows the "level sequence", "events" and "frame table" arranged along the timeline.

"By retrieving keyframes, level progress or event nodes, we can switch editing scenes at any time, such as this level, you should be very impressed."

Fan Yazi wrote a crooked line of characters in the air: West Prison-1.

Everything in the field of vision flows rapidly, and the space is like a dynamic scroll, shrinking and spreading out.

When Li Liang looked around again, he found that he was already in the Western Death Row. Countless death row inmates surrounded the panicked "Li Liang", while "King's Nest" stood far away at the door of the special cell with a blank expression.

What happened here was the "beginning" of everything. He was more than impressed. He even remembered the smell in the air and the despair at that moment.

It was precisely because he woke up Leah at the last moment that he truly realized that his authority in Xi'an was unusual. It was also after massacring the death row prisoners that Yuan Zhen, who was hiding here, showed up on his own initiative, triggering a series of events that followed.

"One thing is very interesting," Fan Yazi said with his arms crossed. "In the first version, the players had not had any accidents and simply played "Tianling" as a game. When the central nervous system core was repaired in the previous level, Most people saw the permission settings, so many people immediately activated Leah after entering this level to complete the massacre, and then controlled all the guard robot troops in the hangar below, trying to escape from here."

Li Liang shook his head. The player was really brave. In reality, he was frightened by the pieces of meat on the ground. He almost vomited out the gall. He was also worried that Xi'an would discover his authority. He only wanted to save his life, so he had to use poor acting skills. Go negotiate with Yuan Zhen.

He couldn't help but wonder: "What will happen next?"

"As soon as we went out and ran into the troops coming from Zhongjing," Fan Yazi smiled, "We could still fight back and forth at first, but soon Xian was alarmed. At this time, Zero One, who controls the temple, will deprive the player of his authority. The robot defected on the spot, and most of the players simply replayed the game. A small number of people who persisted until Mayfly came over and barely entered the next level. The interesting thing is that after the release of the second expansion pack, new players will be able to play it. When we were here, no one dared to activate the guard robot army, and all of them triggered the negotiation plot."

Guo Xudong said in a low voice: "At the time, I felt that this phenomenon proved that our realism was very good. After reviewing the game afterwards, Li Shuang believed that there was already a problem with the players at that time."

mentality.

Li Liang knows that if he knows that everything he encounters is just a "game", no matter how real the blood is, he will not be truly afraid in his heart. He will probably be unwilling to follow the crowd like the players, but activate the garrison robot army to fuck him. , the worst case scenario is that it dies, loads the file, and restarts.

"Actually, passing the level roughly like this will affect the plot. Basically, every time you try it, the difficulty of the subsequent games will increase," Fan Yazi walked to the "King's Nest" and said, "For example, if you start the robot directly and accidentally kill the King's Nest together, This npc will be lost."

"If Wang Chao dies, wouldn't there be one less person around Lao Yang?" Li Liang wondered.

"No, Will Zero can adjust the event logic in the world outline in real time. Without the King's Nest, the leader of the Zhenjie Fort, NPC Lingye, would be persuaded by Yuan Zhen to take the place of the King's Nest, and would also use the threat of Mesai to force the players Entering the Spiritual Gate, if the player chooses to attack Lingye, he will be killed by Tam.

In fact, the biggest impact of losing the 'King's Nest' is that at the end of the goblin invasion, when the player returns to the earth from the spiritual world, Lingye will not convey the news of the player's return to the human legion for Ya Laili, and the 'all-or-nothing' plot cannot be triggered. When the player passes through the Gate of Spiritual Reason, Teemo and Siexie will die in battle, which directly causes the player to lose two important allies, Yoder and Pombotan, in the last level of the current expansion. "

Looking back on his life, Li Liang had to admit that this "butterfly effect" setting was quite reasonable. Everyone and everything he met was not only the "result" of his previous experience, but also the "cause" of everything that happened in the future. And move the whole body.

"By the way, killing Wang Chao will have another impact," Fan Yazi raised his eyebrows and wrote a line of words in the air again: Defend Number -1.

As time and space passed, the Western Death Prison turned into the Defender, a giant groove several meters deep.

In editing mode, the originally solid metal tank wall became transparent, and Cain was alone in the dark, sitting with his back against an "air wall".

Fan Yazi casually turned on the "space lighting", squatted next to Cain and said with a smile:

"If the player kills the king's nest and passes the level roughly, he will be attracted by Cain's subordinates and the leader NPC Carlos. The time to get to know Cain will be delayed, and no matter what the player does in the later stage, he will not be able to conquer Cain. Mizuno will rise to The first heroine, when the players set out to take over the spiritual core mine, the Cain who stayed on the earth will rebel, triggering the 'Mayfly Rebellion' plot..."

Hearing this, Li Liang suddenly remembered that before setting off from the earth, Cain was unwilling to stay on the earth. He once "threatened" him and said, "When you leave, I will swagger into the Xi'an Temple with Mayfly and close No. 0." , control the android army, then unite the group to get rid of Robben and Li Anqiao, and then control the world."

Maybe Cain, who doesn't have a "love brain", can really do such a thing.

"There is another setting about Cain," Fan Yazi became interested. "If the player conquers Cain, he can also conquer Mizuno at the same time. The two of them will live in peace and serve as the first heroine. However, if the player continues to overthrow For any one of Zero One, Andrea, Yuan Quan, and Li Ru, Cain's intimacy value will drop significantly, and the 'Mayfly Rebellion' will also be triggered."

"Li Ru?" Li Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Her age..."

"It's harmful. Age is not a problem. When the game was restarted, a few players killed Cain early and opened a harem later, overthrowing all the female characters."

"Mizuno won't rebel?"

"No, unless the player conquers the group," Fan Yazi said enthusiastically, "This is the most interesting. You know the setting of the group allows you to switch personalities. If you try to conquer Sorge, the group will give birth to a new gender model lake. Personality.”

Li Liang felt a chill when he thought of conquering Sorge, who was as strong as a bear. Who the hell designed this? The xp is so abnormal.

"It's a pity," Fan Yazi said with regret on his face, "Not many people triggered my carefully designed easter eggs..."

"..."
