The terminal stared at Yu Tang.
It was so angry that it no longer cared about the strict ban of the bookstore. It wanted to jump out of the small machine and completely devour this electronic storm of nonsense.
An invisible force stopped it.
The gray data cage emerged for the first time. The defense program that was originally responsible for protecting it reported a complete error, ignored the terminal's crazy complaint requests, and directly locked its database.
…
The terminal stopped in shock.
"What did you modify... What did you do?"
It looked at the cages around it - these cages were not responsible for protecting the data on the terminal. Even when they were being investigated for violations by the monitoring system, the data had never escaped the control of the terminal.
But now, these data have become the cold prison that locks it up.
The terminal stared at Yu Tang. It could sense the fatal threat from the data. The strong fear made it dare not make any rash moves. "Impossible, it turns out that this is not the case—"
"No, it hasn't been changed." Yu Tang said, "I just reorganized your database."
The banning program triggered by the terminal has never been modified by anyone.
These data are usually responsible for maintaining the data security of the terminal. Once they detect that the main database has any tendency to escape, they will immediately trigger hidden instructions and become a prison more solid than anything else.
Yu Tang: "You have tried it before. This is not your first attempt to escape, no?"
The terminal did not answer. It refused to believe what Yu Tang said and continued to try in vain to appeal to the strict detention procedure.
The program that triggered the hidden command was more stern than the terminal expected. It not only rejected all appeals, but was even continuously reducing its control authority.
The web woven by data suddenly fell from the sky and quickly tightened, restricting all activities of the terminal.
Amid the increasingly sharp and severe warnings, the terminal's struggle finally became exhausted and it stopped dejectedly: "... Where are those people?"
"Where did you take him?" the terminal asked in a low voice. "You folded the spaceship? How dare you in a place like this—"
"I don't dare." Yu Tang said, "Aren't you also unsure about this, so you dare to take the initiative to knock him down?"
The terminal was confused and still looking at Yu Tang.
… It can indeed be confirmed that the electronic storm dare not rashly release any power that goes beyond the limit here.
On the one hand, the evolution of the game world has been initially completed. Once the two electron storms collide and annihilate each other, the energy aftermath alone will be enough to completely destroy the galaxy.
On the other hand... the program that controls it is automatically searching for any traces of the electron storm.
Once Yu Tang releases a little power different from that of humans here, he will be captured by the Chuanshu Bureau. At that time, he will have no choice but to replace himself as the new terminal.
Yu Tang moved his finger, and the shadow of a card appeared out of thin air.
The terminal saw the card clearly and suddenly realized what was going on. It was shocked and angry, and the screen shook uncontrollably for a moment: "You—"
Yu Tang snapped his fingers, and the shadow of the card swayed in the air, then scattered like stars.
This is not a card that can make people teleport instantly.
In the woods, when the Secret Service agents wanted to capture him, the Sui couple had wanted him to use this card to escape the game. Later, when he could use it, he kept it in Zhan Chen's pocket.
The ability of this card is weak. It has no effect of folding space, can only be used once, and even the landing point is not fixed.
"Now, the card's transfer times have been used up."
Yu Tang said: "Its transmission location is on the central star, located at the instructor's office at the end of the third floor of the special forces."
While talking to the terminal, Yu Tang typed out the secret code on the table and asked Zhan Chen to take it to the special forces office through the game world.
The game world can "open the door" to any player, and he will release Sui Zhengfan and his wife there.
All members of the spearhead team will gather together again in that office.
This was once the most sharp and brave special operations team in the alliance, the only team capable of driving mechas and wingmen to withstand continuous jumps, perform long-distance sniper operations in the universe, and destroy the entire insect star with human power.
"You should also know his current team leader."
Yu Tang said: "You called him S7 at first."
When the name was heard, the terminal could no longer suppress its rage, and the broken data stirred up a hurricane in the computer room: "It's not your trap! It's not you who stole it. You are a despicable liar who deceived the Chuanshu Bureau—"
Yu Tang stood by the window, folded his arms and leaned back: "Are you going to report it?"
The terminal froze.
…
This option does exist in its database, and in the deduction of success rate, it is not even the most likely option.
This possibility emerges naturally in the process of its deduction, as if the original has already existed.
It had never doubted this matter, as if it was avoiding it deliberately, or as if someone had hidden a secret code in its program to make it always ignore this problem.
…Who to tell
No, no, no, did someone really capture it, force it to be in charge of the Chuanshu Bureau, and lock it in this terminal
There is a possibility... Is it really not the accomplice in others' minds
The magnificent aurora surged out from Yu Tang's palm.
The terminal suddenly felt fear. It tried its best to hide the data and stared at the free light: "What are you going to do? You—"
"Nothing."
Yu Tang raised his hand and let the aurora float up: "You must try your best to accomplish something, and don't do nothing."
The terminal was shocked and suspicious, but still on guard at all times, not daring to make any rash moves.
The system was a little worried. It stuck to Yu Tang and whispered to him, "Host, host..."
Yu Tang patted the mecha model that was clutching his sleeve and his eyes fell on the huge machines standing silently.
He would try his best to do nothing.
This option is too tempting.
As long as the terminal is replaced, all of this can be easily ended without any effort, and all the misplaced parts can be put back on track.
There would be no more Zerg, no more Battle Royale games, no outrageous protagonists, supporting characters, or tasks that must be completed - he could cancel all deals and write a happy ending for the four ongoing wars.
By swallowing the terminal, you can put a few books that drop good luck for children in this world, so that this world can always have the most peaceful dreams in the story.
As long as we devour the terminal now, we can save this world that has been traded.
"You stay here. If anything unexpected happens, I will devour you and take your place."
Yu Tang said: "I will delete everyone's memory of you."
Every machine in the computer room was shaking slightly, and the terminal was trembling. It was not sure whether it was afraid or excited: "… Why not just do it? What are you waiting for?"
"I'm waiting for the best result." Yu Tang said, "I hope I can win and someone will take me home."
The terminal laughed sarcastically: "Do you really think this is possible? Who are you going to win? You don't even know who the real owner of the bookstore is—"
Yu Tang looked at it and asked: "Have you figured it out yet?"
"No wonder your deduction has so many loopholes."
Yu Tang dismantled the terminal case, picked out a hot hard drive, took out a small milk pan from his sea of consciousness, and poured milk into it.
system:"… "
The system couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so it turned off its camera and held up a small jar of sugar: "Host, host."
Yu Tang took it and added some sugar to the milk: "With a computing speed of more than a dozen high-dimensional years, it's no wonder he wants to replace you..."
The terminal had never been treated with such contempt before. Under the urging of anger, its data fluctuated violently: "Asshole—"
Yu Tang took out a stack of ability cards, tapped them twice on his palm, and threw them over.
"These ability cards are ineffective against you!" The terminal had lost its sanity due to anger, and it growled softly, "It was not originally made! Don't think—"
Yu Tang asked: "No?"
The terminal paused and the mechanical sound stopped abruptly.
"These cards are different from skill cards."
Yu Tang said: "You treat the lower world as a card library. If there are special talents and good abilities, you will recycle the data of these people and make them into skill cards."
Yu Tang: "What about these ability cards? Didn't you make them this way too?"
The terminal seemed to have finally realized the possibility of a secret. It trembled in panic, but the mechanical sound seemed to be choked by a piece of data and could not give any answer.
"I asked Senior Zhan, he doesn't know how to make the system."
Yu Tang said: "There are ready-made program templates and core data. All you have to do is assemble them together and add appropriate additional programs to embellish them."
This method is very similar to the production method of the goods in the mall. It sounds like just a combination of raw materials, but the resulting systems have their own styles - some are sloppy, some are meticulous, some can give sharp insights to people in reporting meetings, and some can only go home to copy other people's homework and squat with the host to chew bubble gum.
"The program template is the same, why is the system different?"
Yu Tang: "The only possibility I can think of is that it's not these core data, and it didn't come from your Recycle Bin."
The human beings whose fate and identity have been purchased will have their original core data poured out from that beautiful shell.
These core data have become children in an orphanage. Some of them are still valuable and will be cultivated into commodities and sold as pets of those evolved "new humans".
For more core data, there is another place to go.
It is not the raw material for manufacturing systems.
…
"The production methods of these ability cards of yours are also similar, aren't they?"
Yu Tang drew a rectangle in the air. Several rays of light followed his fingertips, overlapping and extending in the air: "A blank card. Add data to it."
Yu Tang pointed at the intersection of the lines and said, "You've never asked me where the core data of the ability card comes from."
The data fluctuations on the terminal became more and more intense, and its voice became hoarse and out of tune: "You are talking nonsense... The core data of the ability card has been stored in our database all along! It—"
Yu Tang: "It can evolve, have territory, and eat people."
The terminal completely froze.
It could no longer make any sound.
"Evolution is not about superpowers, not about domains, not about superpowers themselves."
Yu Tang said: "It's not that humans have acquired superpowers, it's not that superpowers have evolved using humans as a springboard."
"Those people thought they had ushered in a brand new civilization. They thought they had purchased ability cards and had become 'new humans'."
"No ability card was purchased for him."
Yu Tang said: "What exactly is the highest dimension of civilization? Have you ever thought about this: if all the weaknesses of human beings—indecisive emotions, fragile bodies, and short life spans—are solved, what will the ultimate direction of evolution be?"
"There is something that can easily cross all dimensions, can absolutely discard all unfavorable factors, is not limited by the body and life span, and can easily add, delete, patch, and evolve and improve."
Yu Tang: "If this is not the ultimate direction that life and civilization choose to evolve, what will we get?"
The terminal program made a noisy noise.
"data."
Yu Tang: "The end point of evolution is not data."
"Only completely empty data would be so eager to go through a bookstore, and would be extremely eager to experience real emotions and life."
“Only data craves human life energy and the fragile, tiny human body.”
"He only started to regret the result of his evolution when he reached the end of it."
"The Bookstore was originally just a non-neutral entertainment channel, until he discovered that there was something that, combined with the Bookstore, could help him deprive him of this energy and turn him into a real being again."
"He lured it here and made it into a terminal for the bookstore."
"He will select the humans he likes and continue to devour their 'existence' until the final stage of evolution, when the S-level supernatural realm will completely devour the supernatural being."
The terminal's mechanical voice cracked hoarsely: "Stop talking... Stop talking!"
"You always thought that it wasn't your database?" Yu Tang said, "Your department got it wrong."
"It's not the database that captures you."
Yu Tang: "You are not the database terminal."
The terminal screamed and struggled.
It could not accept such a ridiculous answer and struggled desperately to break out of the data cage that imprisoned it, but it only received more severe warnings and punishments.
It has devoured too many humans and has been assimilated into the database, and can no longer break free from that cage.
"The Storm Team of the Special Operations Team will carry out this mission." Yu Tang said, "They will attack the Zerg's home planet under the leadership of the team leader."
"The Science Department has observed that there are only countless empty mechanical worm shells on the Zerg's home planet. There is a protective shield in the center of the home planet. The computer room inside is exactly the same as the terminal at the main research institute."
Yu Tang said: "I will stay here and prevent any unexpected events from happening at any time."
“He can’t find…”
The voice on the terminal was so cruel that it sounded like a curse: "It's useless to observe it. The occasional flow in that dimension will only make people lost forever. He—"
"That dimension is called the Eye of the Storm, and I really can't figure it out." Yu Tang said, "As long as you step out of the area you are familiar with, you will get lost."
The eye of the storm is not connected. It is not the end point of the long journey of all electron storms in the universe, nor is it the end of the deepest part of the particle-level civilization field.
There is a dimension of time there, and the overlapping of space after losing time makes it a huge and chaotic maze. Even if you don't rush into the electronic storm, you will most likely get completely lost in it.
Being lost for too long will make people lose their own sense of time.
"The way in there is hard to find, and once you go in you may not be able to get out."
Yu Tang said: "There is one person who will never get lost."
The terminal trembled: "Who?"
"The current leader of the Storm Team, the commander of this interstellar alliance, Shi Ji."
Yu Tang said: "He used to be the deputy inspector of the sharp knife team."
Shi Ji once fell into the eye of a storm. He hid there for a long time, forgetting many things, many people, and even who he was.
He just tried his best to remember one.
He was not the deputy observer of the spearhead team, and he remembered that his mission was not reconnaissance.
He searched the eye of the storm again and again, taking note of all the signs and circumstances, waiting to report to the team leader and lead people to rescue his teammates.
"You may not believe it."
Yu Tang: "He memorized all the topographical maps of the eye of the storm."
