Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Master Cat looked down at everything that happened below, and said in a naturally indifferent tone: "Look, war and chaos, collapse and destruction."
Qing'er was also browsing the forum, and she had a general idea of what happened, "How did you do it? That Guiguzi is your partner, right? Do you have some kind of cheating program?"
"You have to think about this problem from our point of view, otherwise you will never get the right answer." Master Mao began to pace back and forth: "First of all, we are not playing this online game, we are playing another game, that game requires We get 500 kills in this multiverse online game world, and the time limit is 500 hours.
You can try to think about it, according to common sense, it is almost impossible for two LV1 characters to accomplish this task. Therefore, if we want to achieve our goal, we cannot follow common sense at all. We must find some kind of loophole to help us ignore the established rules and gain a huge advantage beyond common sense.
And the 'source' of that vulnerability, I soon discovered, was us. We are different from all other players. You play the game through the signals sent by your brain. For us, in terms you can understand, for example, there is a player whose body is dead, but his consciousness is not. Magically stays in the world of this game, manipulating a character. "
"Is that possible?"
"Is this your world? I don't know, and I'm not interested. Anyway, we didn't appear here voluntarily in this form. But assuming this is true, you can imagine that our communication with the system is naturally different of.
For example, I can't taste the food, I don't feel hungry or full, I don't have to go to the toilet, I don't feel tired, so I don't need to sleep, I can sit at the table if I want, and I can't stop Eat virtual food and eat it without sleep for a month and keep going.
These differences seem insignificant, right? But often it is a tiny loophole that can cause the entire system to collapse. It is precisely because of this that the word BUG is so apt to describe it. "
Master Cat sat back at the dining table again: "Sitting here to eat and drink tea is also part of my experiment, although I can basically confirm that I can't feel this virtual taste beforehand, but before it is confirmed, any point of view has nothing to do with it. It's a hypothesis, not a fact." He glanced at Qing'er: "This is the only way to draw conclusions from the natural science you believe in."
He continued: "When I ate a lot of tasteless food in a row, I didn't feel full, so I switched to tea and poured it vigorously, trying to test the various reactions the liquid would bring to the body, but still nothing.
So far, combined with the experiments my companions and I have done in leveling and fighting monsters, the 'negligible' errors are almost tested, and the presidents of the three major guilds also happened to come to the Seaview Hotel building at this time Next, then, it's almost time to try the slightly serious mistake. "
Qing'er said: "Do you want to say that everything that happened below is due to the error of the system itself?"
Master Mao said: "Of course, no system can be impeccable. In this virtual online game you are in, there are countless program errors every day. Those errors are like the breath of the world. They are so insignificant that no one will noticed.
But there are still some, as I just said, 'negligible' errors, people can already perceive them, so the system needs to 'ignore' them. In other words, the existence of this kind of BUG is admitted, but this level of BUG has not caused much impact, at least it will not cause a fatal and devastating blow to the entire system.
My companion and I have no sense of taste in this world, we don’t have the illusion of slight pain like yours when attacked by monsters, and our fatigue will not decrease with time, which will not affect the order of the entire online game world, so the system chooses ' neglect'. "
He paused, and then said: "And 'ignoring' is only a response to the system itself, which is temporary. To solve these bugs permanently, it will naturally require the intervention and adjustment of the technical department. But there are too many mistakes. It is impossible to deal with it by manpower, and game companies generally give priority to correcting the most frequent and serious errors. For most other errors in the game, the system will perform corresponding operations on its own.
Hmm... The technology in your world is indeed a bit ahead of ours, but the basic principles of computers here are the same as ours, the same binary system. Although the system function of this game is excellent, it is not 'Skynet' after all. No matter how excellent it is, it is only reflected in the calculation speed and the huge amount of data it can withstand. It can be said to be semi-artificial intelligence.
It is difficult to break into a person's heart, but it is not so difficult to break into a machine. Once that 'can't ignore' error occurs, the crash will start...
So, it all started from the moment when my companion was instantly killed in the city. At first, he yelled and cursed, which was also part of the plan. Apart from making others determined to attack him in the city, more importantly, it was to shake people's trust in the system. At this time, he took advantage of a 'negligible' error, because the energy is always full, and there is no concept of fatigue. He can swear at people as much as he wants, and the system has nothing to do with him. Other players will naturally have doubts about this situation.
Then, when he was killed, the rule interaction between other people and the system remained as usual, but what about him...he didn't die. He was indeed killed and turned into white light, but he did not die. This is a simple paradox. Experience can indeed be deducted, and equipment will be damaged accordingly, but what about energy...
Since it cannot be reduced, what should we do? He swears, you can ignore it because you can't kick him off the line, so what if he's dead? "
Qing'er said: "Then don't let him die?"
"Exactly, the execution of the 'death' program was terminated.
The laws of the computer world are efficient and impartial, heh... at least much stronger than your belief in natural science. We humans sometimes question ourselves, use our imagination to explore the world beyond our understanding, and change some established rules as appropriate. This is not the case with computers. If the function fails to apply for memory, the protection mechanism will start immediately. Such a huge virtual online game naturally has a very robust system beyond imagination. Therefore, the death of my companion was terminated.
The experience is not reduced, the equipment is not broken, and the energy will not be reduced. Because 'death' didn't happen at all.
And when my companion took the initiative to PK in the city, the defense program near him—the NPC guard, went to kill him according to the rules, and then... the system simply shortened the time for him to turn into white light this time, the whole is a The same situation happened the second time, the calculation speed of the optical brain was faster, and the system quickly recognized his rogue program, and then terminated the operation of 'death'.
The NPC guard was also affected at this time, just like being infected by a virus. His duty was to kill the target, but a few seconds after he completed the operation, the system denied this behavior again, so the NPC The program starts self-destructing. When my partner attacked again, the program was disassembled into junk data and shredded.
The next thing is simple, as long as one person starts, more and more people will scramble to join the battle, and the new NPC guards will be teleported nearby. The mind performs the same operation, and as long as the defense system near this rogue program, they all collapse by themselves one by one. In the end, the city became a situation similar to anarchy. In order to protect real NPCs from being infected by this unknown error program, they were all forced offline when the first situation that could not be ignored occurred. There's also the failure of the resurrection point, etc. In short, everything related to his 'unable to die' situation is malfunctioning. "
"Aren't you afraid that this foul situation will cause the system to crash?" Qing'er asked.
"Crash? Hmph... That's like committing suicide, it's over once and for all. This system is an optical brain, and DOS systems can do that."
"I don't understand. You have already calculated all kinds of situations and possibilities, and after trying it, it has been proved that they are all correct. Why can't you use the characteristic of the two of you who will never die to kill others normally?"
"Isn't that obvious? Do you think I can kill you now?" Master Cat asked.
Qing'er thought for a while, then said with a smile, "I have to practice level 20 anyway."
"It's over. You are a high-level person. It doesn't matter if you stand there and let me slash. The blood recovery speed may be higher than my DPS. Even if we pick some people who are only one or two levels higher than us to kill, we can't kill them." He will soon become famous, and people will say that there are two cheaters who will never be killed who are wandering outside killing people. Who will we kill then? Even if we rush into the main city to kill people, everyone else will run away. "
"Can't you practice better before you start?"
"We don't have much time, and the leveling speed of this game is too fast, and the novice server is ugly..."
"So you're making war, right?"
"Am I the one who made the war?"
Qing'er said: "Is that still me?"
"You are still very young, you can spend thirty or fifty years thinking about it slowly."
"Hey, let me ask you, what if your plan goes wrong? If those three guys didn't fight and there was no chaos in the city, wouldn't you definitely fail?"
Master Cat replied, "Forty-eight hours."
"what?"
"My original layout, taking into account all the possible factors, the worst case occurs at every critical point in time, and it only takes forty-eight hours to achieve the goal."
"Stop bragging, are you so smart?"
"It doesn't matter if Aotian's task is accepted by someone else, or you don't accept it, or you come in and say a word to me and then leave. The overall situation will not change. I am not playing any conspiracy, but Is acting blatantly in front of everyone, and my partner and I have been very clear about what we should do from the beginning to the end. Because in the final analysis, no one in this multiverse, no matter what reasoning ability he possesses, can understand us. Even if I tell you the truth, don't you still express disbelief
So no matter how things develop, there will eventually be a large number of people flooding into the City of Heroes due to various reasons, and chaos will inevitably appear after the order is broken. If there are no three major guilds, there will be a fourth, and a fifth guild will emerge , Twenty-four hours have passed, and there is another twenty-four hours left. I can take out another 20 million to buy the life of the war spirit, your life, and I can even display my name on the side of the task issuer. There are many ways to create the final situation. Worst of all... When the scuffle broke out, Guiguzi and I sneaked into the city together and just put traps around. That thing... I bought a lot of raw materials at the commercial guild, and made about a thousand. "
"It seems that you really have complete control over the actions of us people..."
Master Cat replied: "As I told you, human beings will still make countless mistakes in history. The source of all wars and chaos is the 'balance' between people. When "karma" has accumulated to a certain extent, it must be released. The human heart is that kind of thing, the soul is that kind of thing, and it is the same wherever it goes... Unless all human beings are like what Lao Tzu said, "a small country with few people, chickens and dogs I heard, old age and death don't interact', otherwise, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes... "
Qing'er stood up and said, "My fatigue level is almost over, it's time to log off."
"Please..." Master Mao said.
"I still think you're just crazy." She smiled, but the smile lost its original hostility.
"I think, if you really believe what I said today and make it public, even you will be regarded as a lunatic."
"Hehe... Mr. Ripper from another universe, goodbye."
Master Cat shrugged: "I won't see you again."
Qing'er's figure gradually disappeared, Master Cat just wanted to send a message to Wang Xu to ask him how the killing was going, but the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
It's the streets of New York again, and it's still the teleportation point.
Wang Xu and Master Cat reappeared in the same place, even in the same posture as before being teleported, and the gathered zombies were still at that distance, as if time had stopped at one point, not a second had passed.
But at this moment, it all started again...
The two of them turned their heads and ran, and ran for more than ten meters in the same direction in a tacit understanding. Wang Xu shouted: "Is there any mistake! They are still surrounded!"
Master Mao knocked a zombie man in front of him to the ground with an elbow: "Go to the roof and open the game assistant."
They rushed into an alley together, and Wang Xu jumped on top of a dumpster, then jumped high and down a fire escape staircase on a second-floor balcony of a building. As soon as he got off the ground, before he could stand still, Master Cat stepped on his head and jumped up, taking a few steps to the third floor.
Wang Xu also yelled and followed, and soon, the two of them reached the rooftop, and started the one-day running tour on the rooftops of New York City again...
"I said, this thing has deformed again." Wang Xu found that the game assistant had turned into an electric shaver this time.
"Stop talking nonsense and watch."
Wang Xu turned on the switch, and the electric shaver actually projected a virtual image with a few lines on it: "Fire World's S-level level has been confirmed to be completed, qualified for the final final, and the reward item—the Holy Grail, has magical power. Do you want to claim it now? "
Master Mao said: "Don't be in a hurry to get it, let's go to Queens now to see if the S-level checkpoint teleportation point is still there. I still have some things I want to verify..."
Wang Xu said "oh", and then ran forward. Just as he turned his face forward, his expression changed drastically, and he stopped and shouted: "Be careful!"
Master Mao was also looking at the game assistant just now, so he didn't pay attention to the road ahead, but he reacted quickly and made an emergency stop, barely falling off.
At this moment, a huge ravine with a width of 50 meters appeared in front of the two of them, like a canyon in a city, but its shape was very strange. It was not the kind of terrain that would be cracked by an earthquake, but rather like someone driving a Gundam, holding a A machete like a skyscraper slashed toward the middle of the road.
The magma surged under the crack, and the surrounding buildings and streets were covered with blood and weird meat vines. There were also many weird creatures crawling on the cliffs. They looked like children in their teens, with red skin all over their bodies. Walking on foot, showing a ferocious face, with fangs coming out.
Wang Xu said: "I guess I can't make it through the jump, let's take a detour."
Master Cat said thoughtfully: "I understand... There is a fixed connection between the two worlds, and you cannot go back and forth unless you go through the designated entrance."
"So let's take a detour..."
Master Cat didn't seem to want to leave, he looked at the opposite side and said, "Look at the monster over there in Queens."
Wang Xu squinted his eyes, looked away, and saw groups of robots wandering around.
