A Race to (Be) The Top

Chapter 71: Happy to cooperate ┃ forced to cooperate!

Ke Ming stood up from his chair: "What do you mean? Zero 'kidnapped' Lubi as a hostage in order not to be destroyed?"

The technician replied hesitantly: "At the moment, it seems to be the case."

"What do you mean it seems like this?!"

The team leader's face was pale: "Zero is different from other AI-NPCs. Those NPCs have a set intelligence level and they have no evolutionary ability. And Zero is our first attempt to apply AI self-learning technology, and no one knows how much it will evolve. ."

And what it learns is a huge database of network information and millions of gamers.

It observes human frowns, smiles, anger and sorrow in the dark, and simulates those as its own emotions.

It may learn good, it may learn evil, and it must know that survival is the first law.

"Why not filter its learning content!"

"Because the original intention of this project is not to create perfect products, but to create 'human beings' who can replace people's pets with real ones and serve appointments, who can guarantee that a person will learn from childhood to adulthood. "

"Very good! Now your AI has learned to take hostages!"

"..." The team leader was speechless.

Ling Long interjected nervously: "Well, then my little deer is better than now... No way, I have to go online and see."

He started the GM peripheral to connect to the game, and the first thing he saw was not Ling Xiaolu, but a masked pooch, who rolled back offline faster than when he came.

Everyone present was staring at him as he left and returned.

With a height of 1.9 meters, he nervously squeezed out two words in front of everyone's eyes: "...There are birds."

Crowd: "… "

Ling Long calmed down a little: "But I think Xiaolubi seems to be fine. Just in case, it's best to have a colleague go over to confirm."

Ke Ming sent someone to check and asked the project team leader, "These two people... Can the data bound to these two accounts be separated?"

The team leader is also analyzing the data: "From the current situation, it is difficult to operate, the data is very cumbersome, and there are many encryptions."

Even if it is forced to separate, it is a big project that cannot be completed overnight.

"If the data of zero is forcibly destroyed, what will happen to Lubi's account?"

"The best case scenario is to be kicked off the assembly line and never be connected. But if Zero's purpose is to take hostages, it should be more than that."

"What about the worst-case scenario?"

"...he'll be on the line, unconscious. There's no way we could take that risk."

Ke Ming also gradually regained his professional calm: "Give me a solution, are we going to let it evolve in the holographic network like this?"

Kidnapping a hostage today may not necessarily be a shocking act tomorrow. Xinshan doesn't want to have a scandal due to network security issues.

"Because there are problems with Lubi's account itself, it may lead to the worst result. If his peripherals can be removed, the two characters can be destroyed together, which will not affect the player himself."

The problem seems to go back to the beginning.

"Then when will his peripherals be taken off?"

The members of the AI R&D team looked at each other: "This is not the responsibility of our group."

Ji Meng was concerned and confused. After "hello" on the phone for a long time, he remembered that he was also online.

He flew to Ling Xiaolu, just as he was slowly waking up.

"What's going on!" he asked the pussy dove.

"He passed out just now, but for a short time."

Ji Meng's hand shook nervously in front of Ling Xiaolu: "Are you sick? What's wrong with you?"

Ling Xiaolu grabbed his hand, the sound was like a mosquito, Ji Meng put his ear close to listen carefully.

"What did you say?"

Ling Xiaolu: "You make me uncomfortable."

"… "

Ling Xiaolu stood up again, jumping up and down, without the slightest adverse reaction.

But Ji Meng was still worried and called his customer service.

His customer service—the one who was so coincidentally sent by the manager to check on Ling Xiaolu’s status—quickly performed a health scan for Ling Xiaolu, and the results seemed to be fine.

The customer service was relieved and bowed politely to Ji Meng: "What help do you need?"

"This person just fainted for no apparent reason. Is there something wrong with his body? Do I need to go to the hospital for a check?"

Ji Meng looked so cautious and nervous that Ling Xiaolu wanted to call him "Mother Ji".

"I'm fine," he patted himself and turned around, "Look, it's really fine!"

"Nothing will cause you to faint for no reason?" Will there be low blood sugar in the game

Even if he has low blood sugar, he will not be able to catch Ling Xiaolu, who does not have fatty liver and sounds credible!

"I see, you must have eaten something messy again!"

Ling Xiaolu: … What can he eat if he robs a minecart, the magic stone

The customer service coughed lightly: "Please, the two of you..."

She looked carefully at the poison dove: "Please rest assured, the three of you, just now the server fluctuated briefly, resulting in abnormal reading of the peripherals of very few players. This situation is very rare, but it will not affect the players' health. ."

The customer service read the script according to what the manager gave her. In fact, she didn't know what happened.

In the entire VIP customer service department, only the manager and Ling Long were mysterious.

A very small number of players... Ling Xiaolu subconsciously touched the back of his neck, hoping that not all the fans fainted collectively, then it would be impossible to argue.

… not right! Back of the neck!

Ling Xiaolu felt that the place was empty, indicating that the collar had been triggered and hidden within fifteen minutes!

He just woke up in the arms of the puppet, and the only possibility is that he was caught by the puppet when he fell, and then touched the hidden trap.

Now the question arises, did he fall forward or backward, did the poisonous dove touch him directly or after turning it over... The point is, did the poisonous dove find it!

As he thought about it, he subconsciously took turns to simulate the movements of leaning forward and leaning back, and repeatedly figured out the possible consequences of falling down in various postures. Ji Meng was so nervous that he wanted to reach out to pick it up.

"What's wrong with you? Are you still unsteady?"

"..." Ling Xiaolu only woke up when he saw his half-raised arm. Poison Dove might not be aware of the emergency just now.

Even if you find it, you may not know what it is. Ji Meng and Li Zheng have met in the same place, isn't he still standing here well

Ling Xiaolu calmed down and glanced at Poison Dove with a smile on his face. Pond Dove's expression was the same as always... so he couldn't see it.

It's too bad not to be able to observe microexpressions.

But what if you knew what it was? Ling Xiaolu's gaze shifted to the ID of the pooch, and put an equal sign after the black name, followed by "safety".

"This situation is very rare..." Poison Dove repeated the customer service's words.

"Yes."

"I haven't encountered it once since the first time I deleted the file and played the beta test. It's really rare."

Customer Service: … keep smiling.

"Thank you for your support to Xinshan Games over the years."

She diverted the subject wisely (and not very wisely). What can she do! She also joined the job after three months of the public beta, and she had to be called an old man in the ranks of seniors!

Ji Meng sneered: "Oh, aren't you that or something, Ou Huang? You don't even let this chance go."

Ling Xiaolu: … You don’t want to be involved in such an event, okay

"Okay, now that I'm fine, let's move on to the next question." Ling Xiaolu akimbo, "Why do you have my phone number!"

Ji Meng: "I don't!"

Poison Dove added fuel to the fire: "He has your phone number? Did he check your information privately?"

Ji Meng: "I didn't!!"

"If you can find his phone number, you can find out his pupil code, home address, and bank account. What? Can the senior family members of the game company be illegal players?"

Ji Meng went mad: "I didn't!!!"

Ji Meng's personal customer service felt that she had to defend her client.

"This player, you misunderstood, personal information is the player's privacy, and even our VIP customer service has no authority to call it, it can only be authorized by the superior. And the superior will not leak the player's privacy at will, even to the family members of the company's senior management. Can."

Ji Meng felt aggrieved: "I also want to ask, why I called him when I clearly wanted a phone number from a company employee!"

"Company employee? Who is it?" Ling Xiaolu asked.

"Zero, he was... He resigned today."

Poison Dou: "Zero is an employee of Xinshan? He was fired from the company? Because he illegally used his authority on the battlefield yesterday?"

Ling Xiaolu: ... This is what Prince Xinshan said leaked, it should not be counted as my leak. But what kind of monster is the dove, Ji Meng just said, he has completed the inheritance and transfer alone... Wait for Zero to illegally use the authority on the battlefield? when! Why did I look like a blind man when I was there!

Customer Service: I don't know the ins and outs of the whole thing, so keep smiling.

Ji Meng: Stay unhappy.

"Sorry, I don't know the reason for this. I have limited knowledge of colleagues in other departments."

Ji Meng waved his hand: "I know, it's none of your business."

"Could it be that I and Zero's phone numbers are relatively similar, and you made a mistake?"

It's not impossible, but Ji Meng was reluctant to admit that he had made such a low-level mistake.

"do not know!"

"Forget it, who made you my friend?"

Ling Xiaolu turned on the external communication device and saved his phone number in front of Ji Meng. The note was "friend".

"...What are you doing!" Ji Meng was actually a little happy when he saw this operation, but his instinct was to make him arrogant.

"Next time I call you in the middle of the night and ask you to roll over and fall asleep."

"..." Happy ghost!

Poison Dove interjected: "Little brother, aren't we two friends?"

Ling Xiaolu: "Come come come."

Ji Meng: ? ! !

Even more unhappy!

A group of people came suddenly, and Ling Xiaolu remembered what they had done before.

"Friend, do you want to have some fun together?"

Ji Meng stared at the menacing crowd with a bad expression on his face: "Do you call this Lezi?"

He glared at the dove again: "It's all caused by you!"

The dove let out the crow lazily: "The kindergarten kid will just go and catch the baby, you won't understand the fun of adults."

It was the first time that Ji Meng was called a kindergarten kid. He was so angry that he was usually called a primary school student!

"Wait and see!"

The clear sky rang out with bursts of thunder, and Lei Lulu slammed into the crowd like a bowling ball. what happened to the baby? Babies can also be used to fight!

The customer service disconnected the connection unhurriedly and reported to the superior.

"Manager, there is no abnormality in Lubi's physical condition. In addition, Ji Meng said that he called a former employee of the company, but the phone number belongs to Lubi."

"Ji Meng checked Zero's personnel file?"

The customer service didn't know who Zero was at all, she just wanted to threaten Ling Long personally and tell him everything she knew.

Threatening Linglong is easy, just find a chicken...

Ling Long was stared at meaningfully by her, and he froze for a while.

After the customer service left, Ke Ming questioned Ling Long, "I remember that you filled out the zero personnel file?"

Linglong said vaguely: "Strictly speaking, I didn't fill it in. Zero was created directly from Lubi's data. Other content is easy to make up. I didn't change the phone."

Seeing Ke Ming's displeased expression, Ling Long's eyes flickered.

"How do I know Ji Meng will call Zero? I'll delete the file now."

"Don't delete it," Ke Ming kept him, "Ji Meng found out that the phone number was wrong, so he will definitely come back and check again. Wouldn't it be more suspicious to delete it?"

"Then what?"

Ke Ming tapped on the table erratically: "Change the previous number to a number, whichever number was empty, use that number, and then buy the number."

"..." Ling Long gave a thumbs up, "High, it's really high, I'll do it now!"

Ke Ming felt a headache again. With so many games under Xinshan, how could the eldest lady and the prince be the one in charge of him

The manager also wants to apply for group transfer today.

In the evening, Zero came back unscathed. The operation team issued an announcement in a very inconspicuous position, stating that the account was misjudged by the system to use a plug-in program. It has now been identified and re-unblocked.

Chang Huanxi was very dissatisfied with the result of this treatment. He wanted the manager to apologize publicly, but was stopped by Ji Meng.

"Stop it, few people know about the fact that Zero was banned, why make it known to everyone? Did you buy the live broadcast announcement?"

Chang Huanxi said with disdain: "Hey, I still want to get a monthly subscription and put my home's advertisements 24 hours a day."

That picture is beautiful.

Ji Meng reached out his hand with a cold face: "Bring it."

"Bring what?"

"photo!"

"I asked you to exchange your phone for a photo. Where's the phone?"

"Everyone is back, what more phone do you need!"

Ji Meng asked his relatives to help him check again. Sure enough, he made a mistake, but there was no need for Chang Huanxi. If he wanted zero's phone number, he could have asked himself.

Chang Huanxi thought about it too, and simply gave him the photo generously.

Not only did Ji Meng earn photos, but he also got Ling Xiaolu's phone call, becoming the biggest winner in this title turmoil.

And the real protagonist of the storm, Ling Xiaolu, didn't know that he had escaped from the tiger's mouth, and he was very happy to see Zero return to the game.

"I knew you must have been wronged!"

"Thank you for trusting me."

Ling Xiaolu paused for a moment. Zero has been speaking more fluently recently, and he doesn't always use inverted sentences like he did before.

"But after hearing you talk a lot, why do you always feel that your voice sounds familiar?" Ling Xiaolu asked curiously, "Do we know each other in reality?"

Zero shook his head: "I don't know."

"Then I must have heard it wrong."

He looked carefully at no one around, leaned closer, pointed to his neck, and asked in a low voice:

"Test brother, can I ask, when will this thing be available?"

If he doesn't take it off, he will start school!

Zero drooping his eyes, glanced at him, his eyes did not contain any human emotions.

But it has learned the human pun.

"When it's safe."

"Yes," Ling Xiaolu rubbed his neck, "I can't cut off my head."

"It's hard work." Zero said.

"No, no, you must work overtime often and work harder."

"Pleasant to work with."

Ling Xiaolu:

His second-in-law monk was confused, what to cooperate with? what pleasure
