The author has something to say: Disclaimer: The chicken's confession is over! Because he shouted it out in one breath, but the deer didn't finish it!

The phone rang in the silent living room, Ling Xiaolu's first reaction was that Ji Meng called, but it showed an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, is this Mr. Ling Xiaolu? This is Ke Ming, manager of the customer service department of Xinshan. I hope you still have an impression of me."

Of course Ling Xiaolu remembered.

"According to the technician's response, the problem of your peripheral failure has been resolved. Has your device been successfully removed?"

Ling Xiaolu picked up the other half of the collar from the ground in a complicated mood: "Yes..."

"I know that the next request is rude, but please stay at home for a while, and a staff member will come to your home later to pick you up at the company to sign the follow-up agreement."

Ling Xiaolu looked suspiciously at the night outside the window: "Now?"

"Sorry, this matter is urgent, and we urgently need your cooperation. The situation is complicated, and I will explain it to you in detail when you arrive."

Ling Xiaolu's cell phone consumed the last bit of power the moment he hung up, and when he wanted to charge it, Xinshan's staff rang the doorbell.

Even in an era of convenient transportation, Ling Xiaolu did not believe that they could arrive in such a short time. That is, before the collar was removed, the man who came to pick him up was already on his way.

Half an hour later, Ling Xiaolu sat in the reception room of Xinshan Customer Service Center for the first time.

Like the first time he saw it, Ke Ming interprets the word polite to the extreme.

"Thank you very much for your help with game data testing over the past few months, and on behalf of the company, I once again apologize for the inconvenience."

Ling Xiaolu still had one thing in mind.

"Excuse me, can I go online and contact someone first..." He suddenly thought that the disconnected peripheral might not allow him to do so, "or you can help me get in touch."

He suddenly disappeared without a sound, Ji Meng must be in a hurry, at least he wants to report peace.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and a female staff member came in. I don't know if it was Ling Xiaolu's illusion. When she entered the room, her eyes stayed on him for a moment, intentionally or unintentionally.

"What?" Ke Ming asked, the tone of his boss asking his subordinates.

The visitor whispered a few words to Ke Ming. Although the voice was very low, a very familiar name popped out. Ling Xiaolu was keenly aware that what she said was related to Ji Meng.

"Is it Ji Meng?" Ling Xiaolu stood up nervously, "Can I send him a message."

Ke Mingbi made a soothing gesture, turned his head and whispered to his subordinates, Ling Xiaolu seemed to have heard words such as "stabilize emotions" and "try to delay".

"Wait a minute," Ling Xiaolu said urgently, "Just a word, or lend me a charging source, and I'll make a call."

Ke Ming politely refused: "Sorry, it's not convenient for you to contact anyone now."

"why?"

With a wink, Ke Ming signaled Ji Meng's exclusive customer service to leave first. The other party finally glanced at Ling Xiaolu regretfully, and turned around to take the door of the reception room.

"Why can't I contact Ji Meng?" Ling Xiaolu was very anxious, "You know that person always thinks too much, maybe he will misunderstand something, he even thinks I am the AI developed by Xinshan."

"What if you were?"

Ling Xiaolu: ? ? !

Ling Xiaolu sat down heavily on the chair and laughed dryly for a long time.

"Ha, stop joking, okay?"

Ke Ming also sat down opposite him: "You really are not, but I'm not joking. What I say next may cause you embarrassment, but the situation is complicated, please be sure to cooperate."

Ling Xiaolu's brain was a mess: "What exactly do you want me to cooperate with?"

"In order to solve the peripheral failure problem you are experiencing as soon as possible, our company's technicians have created a test body using your data."

"Test... test body?"

"To explain it in popular words, it is the AI in your mouth."

Ling Xiaolu worked hard to digest the information in his words.

"You mean... You guys used my data... to create an AI? Does such an AI really exist? Isn't Ji Meng just fantasizing?"

"Yes, he may have gotten some information from other sources, but he just got the wrong person."

Ling Xiaolu originally thought that Ji Meng had a big brain hole, but he did not expect that he had misunderstood.

"and then?"

"In the process of testing this AI, there are also some problems, and the problems are more serious. At the beginning, we did not think carefully and gave him too much testing authority. By the time we found out, his authority was too large for the technical department to be able to. Control, which is too dangerous for other gamers, we cannot allow him to continue."

"Where is it now?"

"We have used some emergency measures to temporarily hibernate it, but there is a time limit to hibernation. We are very worried that once it restarts, it will cause unpredictable damage to the entire game."

"But what can I do?"

"For some complex reason, his data is bound to yours and cannot be separated. If you want to destroy it, there is only one way."

Ke Ming looked directly into his eyes.

"Completely delete all information of the account 'Lubi' on the server."

Ling Xiaolu: ? ? !

Ke Ming placed three stacks of documents in front of him in order.

"This is the test agreement you signed before entering the game, which contains detailed terms. You play the game in the capacity of assisting the company in testing. The company has all rights to research, copy, modify and delete your data. You are in the game. All images, audio and video materials left behind are also owned by the company, and you have no right to keep or backup them. The company will compensate you with the highest hourly salary of the testers, and these terms have been explained in detail when you signed. "

Every word he said was the truth, and when Ling Xiaolu signed this agreement, all of it was worthless to him, so he signed it without hesitation.

"But… "

But with the passage of time, his mood has already changed.

Those data are not just data to him, every frame of the image is his precious memory.

"The second is that during the game test, some unplanned situations occurred in the company. In response to these accidents, we have drafted a supplementary agreement, and we hope that you will cooperate with us to sign."

Ling Xiaolu could barely finish reading.

"I'm about to delete my account, what else can I add?"

"The terms are here, you can read them yourself. The hardest part of it is that you... have to give up your current phone number."

"Why! This is my private number!" Ling Xiaolu was a little annoyed.

"Because of our staff's mistake, I accidentally leaked your private number. I solemnly apologize to you again. We also have compensation for this, and these are written in the agreement."

He pushed the third document forward: "This last one is a nondisclosure agreement. Since there are so many development and commercial secrets involved, we hope that you won't reveal the whole thing to anyone, whoever that person is. ."

"Even if it's... your people can't?"

"Yes, neither can he."

Ke Ming seemed to be very sure of who Ling Xiaolu was talking about.

"We don't object to your continuing to develop relationships with players you know in the game, as long as you don't use the identity of 'Lubi'."

Ke Ming took out two more cards from his arms and placed them neatly next to the confidentiality agreement.

"All your remuneration during the test period, as well as the compensation mentioned in the supplementary agreement and the non-disclosure agreement, are all in this card. The other is a brand new calling card applied for in your name, just iris binding Can be used normally."

The clutter in Ling Xiaolu's mind is in stark contrast to the neatness of the desktop.

The other party was so perfectly prepared, so perfect that it was like... a long-planned plan.

He dipped his fingers into his hair, trying to escape from the perfect plan.

"I know that all this is too sudden for you to accept. I can give you time to think calmly, but this time can't be too long, because it will be 24 hours before the AI body goes into emergency sleep. We cannot put players at any risk, and we hope for your understanding.”

After he left these words, he left Ling Xiaolu alone in the room and walked out of the door of the reception room. Outside the door, a man 1.9 meters tall leaned heavily on the wall.

"Aren't you going in to say hello to him?" Ke Ming asked.

"Ling Long" glanced at him with a complicated expression: "What face do I have to see him. What should I tell him? I'm sorry, your account is gone? Is it really gone this time?"

Ke Ming patted his arm understandingly: "Then tell me, what should I say so that he won't refuse."

Ling Long threw off his hand angrily, and said angrily in a tone that was almost disrespectful to his boss: "Manager, you asked me to be his exclusive customer service to help him hide his identity, not to catch his weakness. , to threaten him!"

"I know, I know," Ke Ming reassured him as gently as possible, "but think about it, since this matter is doomed, you want him to accept the result as calmly as possible, right?"

"..." Ling Long leaned back against the wall, before speaking after a long while, "Xiao Lubi is a very emotional person. He often sacrifices himself for others... I can think of this."

Ke Ming pondered for a moment and seemed to have a countermeasure.

"I see, thanks for your hard work. Has the news been released?"

Ling Long nodded listlessly: "I have already asked a few employees who have nephews in the company to release the news, and said that Xin Shan made a fake AI player..."

In the "Elf Contract" game, the most lively place where gossip spreads the fastest is always the tavern in the town.

"Big news! Big news! I heard from my uncle who works in Xinshan that Dongtianling has made big news!"

"What big news, can it be bigger than the news that Prince Ji of Xinshan confessed that half of his partners ran away?"

Tonight's two major events on the server, Dou Kou Jieqi and Ji Meng's confession, the latter was more popular and more people discussed.

"I heard from my uncle that Xinshan secretly developed an AI player, this person!" His startled tone startled the people around him, "It's hidden among us."

"Isn't it, really? If there really is an AI, how could it not recognize it?"

"It's hard to say. AI technology is so developed now that you can't recognize high imitations walking on the street, let alone in the game."

"If there is such a person, no, AI, I have a personal choice in my heart."

"It's the AI selection, right?"

"Don't struggle with words, let him say who."

The man lowered his voice and asked mysteriously: "I've been suspicious of this question for a long time. Let me ask you, who can still remember what Lubi looks like after he goes offline?"
