The reverse engineering of the NG helmet and the reverse deduction of the SAO game source code are more difficult than imagined.
During this time, Wu Ke was practicing his game character level in the SAO game, while at the same time learning the world's knowledge about the virtual network field in reality.
Super thinking gave him super high learning ability, but the more he studied, the more Wu Keye discovered that his super thinking was not a cheating device or anything like that. There was an upper limit to his ability, and the upper limit was what he could get. Learn.
“The research and deduction of any kind of unknown science requires the accumulation of knowledge from generations or even dozens of generations, as well as the sudden emergence of scientific geniuses to break through the upper limit of existing knowledge, rather than simply relying on powerful computational thinking abilities. .
You are a learning genius that I have never seen before, and you have mastered my current level of knowledge in the field of virtual networks in a short period of time.
However, without the guidance of knowledge with a clear direction, your efficiency in cracking the reverse engineering of the NG helmet and reverse deducing the source code of the SAO game will not be much better than mine and my team. "
This was the evaluation given by Shigemura Daiteru after learning about his learning progress and trying to do reverse engineering work with him.
In short, he only has a strong talent for learning in the field of virtual networks, but he does not have the talent to break through the upper limit of knowledge.
Although he can be more powerful than ordinary geniuses, he is still not as good as Kayaba Akihiko, a genius that is rare to see in fifty years.
"We make theoretical assumptions, and you make practical verifications of the theories in the hypothesized direction. If we combine them in this way, the efficiency will be improved, which can greatly increase the speed of reverse engineering cracking..."
In terms of experience in researching knowledge in the virtual field, Wu Ke has less experience than Shigemura Daiteru and the group of senior researchers. In terms of calculation and deduction speed, Shigemura Daitetsu and the group of senior researchers can't keep up with him even if they try to catch up with him, and they can't even see him. His back.
Therefore, the combination of the two has the effect of giving a group of senior researchers in the virtual field a human-sized supercomputer to do computing research.
"According to some papers published by Kayaba Akihiko on the direction of virtual networks, and the current situation of the SAO game's main server in our hands, if it goes well, it will take one and a half years, if not, it will take three to five years, regardless of the NG helmet It’s still the source code of the SAO game, we will definitely analyze it.”
After Wu Ke joined the research team and cooperated in the theoretical deduction and verification, Professor Shigemura made this judgment with confidence. In addition, since his daughter was determined to be safe in the SAO game, Professor Shigemura can now be said to be in a safe position. , doing reverse engineering research calmly and unhurriedly.
Knowing that he was not a material in the field of virtual network research, Wu Ke was not too entangled. He had a specialization in the field of technology. He was very open-minded in this aspect and did not force himself to do some useless behavior. .
In addition to receiving some experimental data from the reverse engineering laboratory that required him to do a lot of calculations and verifications every day, he devoted himself to the SAO game, using his limited strength to crush all the enemies he encountered as much as possible. .
As the days passed, in the SAO game world, the game character controlled by Wu Ke was leading the players to advance.
In just the past half month, they had reached the fifteenth floor of the game world, almost at the speed of clearing a level of maze in a day, and Wu Ke's game character level had also reached forty-one.
Within a month, the maze BOSS on the thirty-ninth floor was defeated, and Wu Ke's game character level reached fifty.
At this time, the speed of conquering the maze slowed down. It was not that Wu Ke was incapacitated. In fact, the maze BOSS on the thirty-ninth floor was still crushed by him. It was just the exploration group players who searched the maze BOSS room, and their levels were a little higher. Can't keep up.
Wu Ke's high level is due to a lot of wild monster experience, so he always has the advantage of level crushing.
Although other players in the exploration group also spawned monsters, their levels were gradually unable to keep up due to the leveling mechanism of the SAO game and the ever-increasing number of world layers.
It is really dangerous to continue to let players in the exploration group explore the maze and face maze monsters that are higher than themselves.
And letting him find the BOSS room by himself would waste a lot of time and be inefficient.
As the saying goes, sharpening the knife will not waste time cutting wood, but Wu Ke chose another method.
"Hurry up, the wild monsters in the fourth area, let the fifth group make up for the last blow."
"The second group of wild monsters reaches the kill line, we give up our position, and the third group prepares to step forward to finish the kill."
…
In the SAO game, the player who made the last blow can reap 50% of the profit, so Wu Ke led the team to level up.
He will cripple the wild monsters and leave it to lower-level players to do the finishing touches.
And that's not all, Wu Ke also organized the players in the exploration group into groups according to their levels.
Let a group of high-level players take a group of lower-level players to level up.
One level after another, and he is the top of the pyramid.
Players in the exploration group show a stepped leveling method.
A large amount of equipment and materials were revealed, and dedicated backpacker players were responsible for collecting them.
After the backpack is full, use the return crystal to return directly to the city and hand over the equipment to the rescue Freemasonry and the management player responsible for arranging supplies.
After handing over the materials to the guild's logistics team for professional players to deal with, they will soon be replaced by a group of high-level players with the new equipment they have produced and dispatched, as well as the medicines purchased in the city. Send each other to leveling locations.
Wherever the leveling team of the Rescue Freemasonry goes, it can be said that no monster is left behind. Even after too many monsters are spawned, someone will be responsible for calculating the refresh time of wild monsters and doing it again.
The levels of players in the exploration group are increasing at an extremely efficient rate, but they have almost conquered all the wild monsters in the world above the 30th floor.
As for players who are not in the exploration group, they are warned not to play in a world with wild monsters and game levels that are generally higher than their own level.
Nowadays, the level of ordinary players has reached the level of ten or twenty, and the most secure place is in the first twenty levels of the game world.
The level of more powerful players is close to level 30 or even above level 30. These players can wander in the wild of the game world on the 20th floor or above. As long as they do not seek death, they will generally not die. .
And in these game days where there is no pressure on ordinary players, some guys with bad intentions appear. Those people rely on their higher game character levels, and the players in the maze exploration group usually The world that couldn't get down to the next level actually started to make people yell and scream among the ordinary players.
To put it simply, it is the phenomenon of malicious PK bullying in the game. It is relatively normal to grab wild monsters and collect items, but some guys actually still play in the game. For players of the opposite sex, well, as long as the same sex looks good, They don't mind robbing someone either.
"Outrageous, outrageous."
When Wu Ke got the news, he cursed directly.
"Are those guys just sitting around with nothing to do? I'm trying to save others, and they are maliciously bullying others. Are they pretending that I don't exist?"
"President SD, what should we do?"
Heathcliff inquired.
He is the second-in-command of the Rescue Freemasonry. Although his gaming skills are not good, he has outstanding management skills.
Wu Ke gave him a heavy responsibility and asked him to be responsible for the daily management of players and the important work of arranging guild supplies.
"Now that the level of the first echelon players has caught up, let them pause their exploration of the maze BOSS room first and go to the lower level to catch those restless guys. If there are people who are full and holding on, then catch them up. Do something serious."
"What are you talking about?"
Heathcliff asked curiously.
"There are too many labyrinths and trap rooms above the 40th floor. Let's use those restless guys behind our rescue as cannon fodder."
Wu Ke said directly.
"Would this go too far and cause some riots among the bottom player groups?"
asked Heathcliff.
He didn't care about the lives of those players, he was just taking the opportunity to test them.
In these days of getting along, Kayaba Akihiko became increasingly unable to see through the person in front of him.
It's said that she was sent in by the imaginary class, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
But saying that she is an official rescue worker, she doesn't completely care about the lives of all players.
"Heathcliff, do you know that the evil of human nature must be restrained by harsh means and punishment?
This means that they haven't caused any bad facts yet, otherwise I would arrest those guys and execute them in public.
However, you have a point. It is a bit excessive to directly use those bad players as cannon fodder. Therefore, as long as they do not die after exploring the path three times, we will forgive him and let the other party remember this lesson and go back. "
Wu Ke accepted his words and said so.
"What about the unfortunate players who died while exploring the path?"
asked Heathcliff.
"Killing chickens to scare monkeys, if you don't kill a few chickens, how can it serve as a warning to others?"
Wu Ke asked back.
The meaning is very clear, it's a dead player, it doesn't matter.
On the contrary, killing some players with bad intentions is in line with expectations.
"Oops, someone was killed."
At this time, Klein hurried over.
"What?"
Wu Ke and Heathcliff both looked at each other.
"A female player came to our rescue guild for help. She said that when she was leveling up with her friends in the wild, she was surrounded by a group of players with evil intentions. Her friends tried to buy time for her to use the return crystal to return to the city, but after When she returned to the city and ran to us to ask for help, she found that her friend's game ID was completely hidden in the friend column..."
Klein said succinctly, and this is probably the first time a player has killed someone in an SAO game.
"Very good. The plan of small punishments and big punishments can be put to rest. Let's go check out the situation. If it is true, we will catch the murderous player and deal with him as a typical example."
.
.
"If we do this, there won't be any problem, right?"
"What are you afraid of? He was killed by a wild monster. What does it have to do with us?"
In the wild of the game world on the 21st floor, a group of players watched the male player who had been poisoned by the paralyzing toxin, was submerged in the monsters and turned into light and disappeared. Some people felt uneasy, but the eldest brother Vasak who took the lead was a The face doesn't matter.
Although Vasak's level in the game is not very high, his gaming skills are good, and he also knows how to form gangs in the game, so he has gathered a group of younger players around him.
But this time, he just met a pair of male and female players in the wild. He saw that the female player looked good and wanted to let them play with him, but he was rejected.
And that male player dared to resist and actively attack them. He was simply looking for death.
However, considering the game settings that after killing a player, they will become red-named and cannot enter the town again.
And in the upper game world, there is a group of high-level players called the Rescue Freemasons.
Therefore, he did not choose to do it himself or let his younger brother do it to kill the male player.
Instead, I asked my brother to attract a group of wild monsters, leaving the opponent who was infected with the paralysis poison in place, and let the group of wild monsters that would actively attack the player to deal with the opponent.
He felt that this method of killing was perfect. As long as he didn't say it himself or the younger brothers around him, who would know?
I'm afraid even if he returns to reality, even the police won't be able to convict him.
"SAO, it's really a nice world..."
The Big Brother player licked his lips and felt extremely happy. It was the pleasure of breaking away from the legal framework of reality and the freedom to dominate another person's life in this world.
A beast called the desire to kill was released in his heart. The elder brother felt that he might try again in the future and do what he had just done.
Thinking of this, he suddenly said: "Let's form a guild too!"
"Eh?"
The younger brothers don't know why.
"Don't you realize that it feels so good to control other people's lives?"
He said seductively.
"Think about it, the chains called rules that bind our hands and feet in reality are not there in this game world. We don't need to look at anyone's face, we can do anything.
As long as we see someone unhappy, we can just throw him into a group of wild monsters and watch him be killed by wild monsters, without paying any price..."
"Isn't this a bit...bad?"
"Don't you have people you feel unhappy with, such as enemies, or people who take away important things from you?"
Shut up, little brother, he really does, and they are still in this game, his ex-girlfriend, and his current boyfriend who is now in love with his ex-girlfriend.
"So boss, what is the name of our guild?"
"How about a smiling coffin? It means to put all the guys who look unhappy with you into the coffin and bury them with a smile!"
.
.
The murder guild, Smiling Coffin, was formed.
But the day after its establishment, their guild members were surrounded.
"These are the people, right?"
"It's them!"
The female player with red eyes nodded, followed by a group of high-level players.
"Smiling Coffin Guild, right? Come with us."
The leading [Lv41] strong man looked at the guild name displayed above these people's heads and said directly to Vasak, the guild leader who was only in his early thirties.
Vasak: "..."
