Ling Xiaolu was very irritable. He knew every word in the contract, but it looked completely unfamiliar when connected.
He has only just become an adult, why does he have to face so many complicated things alone
He casually flipped through the last page of the non-disclosure agreement. The breached amount on it suffocated him. He just glanced at it and quickly closed it. It seemed that his eyes would be burned by the string of numbers if he looked at it for another second.
Ke Ming gently pushed the door and entered, sat in the position just now, and placed a glass of water in front of Ling Xiaolu at the same time.
In the eyes of Ling Xiaolu today, his perfect politeness is like an impeccable shield, isolating all confrontations.
"Is there anything you don't understand?"
"Yes," Ling Xiaolu clenched his fists, "Do I have the right to refuse?"
Ke Ming lowered his eyes: "Mr. Ling, I want you to know that these agreements not only affect you personally."
He cleared his throat: "Let me give the simplest example. You let your exclusive customer service disguise as a pet and publish the winning message without authorization, which itself violates the rules of the game. The company has received complaints from players that you are a fan. The company's credibility has been affected by this incident, which has already affected the company's credibility. If players continue to complain, your customer service, Linglong, will most likely be punished, the most serious The consequence is dismissal."
"… "
"So, as an AI, we publicly delete the account of 'Lubi', not only to remove potential threats, but also to give a reasonable explanation to the majority of players. The reason why we ask you to keep the identity of 'Lubi' confidential, It is also for the same reason, especially..." He deliberately paused, "The sensitive relationship between you and the family members of the company's senior management is more likely to cause criticism."
"Ji Meng obviously doesn't know!" Ling Xiaolu hurriedly said, he was kept in the dark like everyone else, even the one who was the most deceived.
"But players don't know, and they won't believe it. They only believe what they see, plus a little guesswork, plus a little rumor, and that's what they believe is the truth."
Ling Xiaolu clenched his fists even tighter, and Ke Ming could see his shaking.
"I might as well reveal some more confidential content to you. The reason why the project team was forced to hibernate AI is because AI has mastered the ability to restrict players from logging in and offline. The former only prevents players from logging in to the game, but the latter can Make online players unable to leave the game. We can't judge whether it will be provoked after it wakes up, and whether it will take players hostage. This is a very dangerous hidden danger. Suppose the real environment of the player is a fire, earthquake and other emergencies , the original game has built-in emergency hedging monitoring, but AI has evolved its own priority to emergency hedging."
"AI's ability... is it that big?" Ling Xiaolu frowned tightly.
"In our game, there are also special players who have to be treated regularly due to poor health. If they can't go offline, the result can be fatal for them, which is why we can't risk the safety of the players. A little risk."
Ling Xiaolu's pupils tightened: "Xiao Nanxun..."
He searched on the desk in a panic, and the neat documents were cluttered by him. Ke Ming took out a pen from his suit pocket and handed it over. Ling Xiaolu's hand was shaking, and he couldn't find the position several times.
He hesitated for only two seconds, then scribbled his name, then quickly put the pen aside, as if it wasn't a pen but a hot soldering iron.
Ke Ming stared at him to sign the last one, and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation..."
Ling Xiaolu waved his hand in annoyance, not wanting to listen to any official words from him: "Can I go?"
Ke Ming stood up politely: "I'll arrange for someone to see you off."
Ling Long was no longer visible outside the reception room. Ling Xiaolu passed the glass windows, and he seemed to feel that many people were looking at him through the translucent glass windows.
He suddenly changed his mind: "I want to stay. I can't keep Lubi, can I give him a ride?"
"This..." Ke Ming was embarrassed.
"I have signed the non-disclosure agreement, what else do you have to worry about?"
Ke Ming hesitated and nodded: "Okay."
When Ling Xiaolu walked into the office of the project team, everyone present showed a surprised expression. A few sitting staff stood up, and Ke Ming shook his head behind him, signaling everyone to keep calm.
Ling Xiaolu's attention was not on any one person, but was completely attracted by the huge display on the wall. There are dozens of playing pictures on the screen, all of which are the images left by "Lubi" in the game.
His first public appearance was recorded, and Li Zheng protected him from a fight with Ji Meng...
The archive of his first live broadcast, Dou Kou was mad at his calculations, and that was also the beginning of getting to know Poison Dou...
The picture of him dancing at the wedding ceremony of the goddess, the picture of him fighting the dragon to protect the five soldiers in the old world, and more of the moment when he and Ji Meng were laughing and cursing together...
Unconsciously, he left so many traces on this continent, Ling Xiaolu greedily stared at the screen, wishing to copy all the pictures into his mind.
The most central screen flashed and switched to the real-time screen in the game.
The same picture also appeared in every corner of the magic continent. Just now, I was still discussing whether Lubi is an AI melon eater, and they all quieted down and waited for the official live broadcast announcement.
Ke Ming's image appeared on the announcement screen: "Good evening, players, I'm sorry to take up your precious game time..."
Ling Xiaolu turned back suddenly, Ke Ming himself was still standing behind him, and this so-called "live broadcast" was also recorded in advance. Ke Ming probably guessed what he was thinking, and smiled apologetically.
"It's a pity to announce the news to everyone under this circumstance. The R&D department of Dongtianling tried to launch a learning artificial intelligence a few months ago..."
The server frys the pot instantly, and players' discussions can be heard everywhere.
"Sure enough, there is AI! This is probably the fastest time the news within the uncle's party has been confirmed!"
"So what? Is that artificial intelligence really Lubi?"
"It's no wonder that when the prince confessed, he would say that he didn't care whether the other party was human or AI. Dare he knew that Lubi was not human!"
"Knowing it's not a human being... God, thinking about it is extremely cruel! Why do you do this to our husbands!"
Ke Ming: "There were several unpredictable accidents during the testing of this artificial intelligence, which may affect the balance of the game. In order to ensure the fairness of the game, the R&D team decided to permanently delete all data of this artificial intelligence."
"What?? The Lubi number is gone??"
"I have an objection! Does Lubi know that he is an AI? If he doesn't, Xin Shan is killing people!"
"This account that affects the balance of the game is not deleted for the Chinese New Year? Is it a green name, a fan name, and a pet? No wonder the customer service hesitated when I reported that there was a shady scene in the Fenglong lottery."
"So it was you who reported it? It was people like you who forced Xinshan to delete his account. What did the Crown Princess do wrong?"
…
Offline Ke Mingchong nodded to the R&D staff. Ling Xiaolu watched as one of them pressed the button, and the small screen in the upper left corner turned into a blurry screen after a period of rapid upside down.
Ling Xiaolu clearly knew that part of Lubi had disappeared forever.
The central picture suddenly changed, it was a piece of ice and snow, and a persistently waiting figure.
Ke Ming's expression changed: "Who asked you to put this?"
Ling Xiaolu's heart suddenly twitched: "Don't cut it!"
His eyes were tightly locked on the central figure, unable to leave half an inch.
"Can you give me another look?" His voice was so sad that no one could refuse.
"..." Ke Ming didn't say anything and chose to acquiesce.
The highest mountain peak in Beimang was snowing heavily with goose feathers. Ji Meng sat in front of Lingxiaolu's line and did not leave. Snowflakes fell on him, were swept away by the strong wind, and quickly gathered new ones.
Ling Xiaolu's nose turned sour, the temperature in Beimang was so cold that one could freeze, and he didn't know if Ji Meng had turned off environmental awareness. If not, how can he fight this severe cold
Ji Meng couldn't feel the cold anymore. He sat alone in the snow, with the video of the past playing on the holographic screen in front of him. In the video, Ling Xiaolu's frown and smile are still as vivid.
As usual, he took out photos when he encountered a wonderful scene, and unknowingly accumulated a stack.
In his photo album, he didn't know how much he had saved for photos like this without Ling Xiaolu, and every time he was questioned, he used Lei Lulu as a prevarication.
Ling Xiaolu outside the screen covered his mouth. Every time Ji Meng said he took Lei Lulu's photo, he believed it. He would rather let himself laugh at him as a show pet madman than let him know that he is already the protagonist in his album.
The small screen on the wall spent another time, and the deer in the photo in Ji Meng's hand disappeared, leaving only a hazy black shadow.
He was stunned for a few seconds, and nervously wiped the surface of the photo, thinking it was a fan of wind and snow.
The second, third... The people in the photos disappeared one by one, Ji Meng panicked, the photos in his hands were scattered all over the place, but only a shadow was seen.
The goose feather snowflakes quickly buried the photos on the ground, and Ji Meng unwillingly took down new photos from the video, but in just a few seconds, they would become the same as the previous photos, until the people in the video disappeared completely.
Ling Xiaolu watched him frantically repeating the same action, his eyes changed from unwilling to believe to despair, he had never seen Ji Meng show such a helpless expression.
He really wanted to tell him not to try again, the screen on the wall had already dimmed for the most part, and soon Lubi would disappear completely in that world.
The previous female customer service staff appeared again with a more embarrassed expression.
"I tried my best to persuade him, but he wouldn't leave or go offline if he didn't see anyone, he said...
"Off the assembly line, I can't remember what he looks like anymore."
Ling Xiaolu couldn't take it any longer.
"Would you like me to meet him again as Lubi?"
He turned and pleaded.
"On the last side."
Ke Ming: "..."
He asked the staff next to him: "Can you confirm that you can take it off this time?"
"should be no problem."
Ke Ming glanced at the time: "I can only give you one minute. After one minute, whether you are offline or not, we will take a forced disconnection."
"One minute is enough," Ling Xiaolu agreed immediately, "I don't want to go quietly, I just want to say goodbye to him."
The relentless gust of wind became more and more raging, not only driving away the snowflakes, but also rolling up blank photos scattered all over the place.
Ji Meng raised his head with a bewildered expression, thinking that he had hallucinated in front of him. In the gap between the swirling snowflakes and the photo, the person he was waiting for was standing opposite.
He double-checked until he believed it wasn't a hallucination.
Ji Meng hurriedly got up from the ground, his frozen legs almost unsteady.
They stared at each other across the wind and snow.
Ji Meng flapped his lips twice, there were thousands of words deep in his throat, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Time passed by, Ling Xiaolu slowly raised his index finger to his mouth, making a quiet "shh".
After making this gesture, Ling Xiaolu disappeared, and there was no one in front of Ji Meng.
He took a step anxiously: "Lubi! Deer..."
As if a pair of arms stretched out from behind, Ji Meng's body froze, and those arms gently wrapped around his chest and hugged him gently.
Ling Xiaolu's voice came from behind, following the wind:
"I am leaving, bye."
Tears that had been held back for a long time welled up.
The power around his waist disappeared. The north wind is cold, the snow is flying, and Ji Meng is empty, all alone. In the vast world, there is no trace of Lubi who has ever existed.
