Si Yan: "Virus...in fact, it's just a name we call it. At its root, it's just another form of NPC just like you..."
Qing Ya: "Same as us?"
Si Yan: "Well, it seems that your current server is indeed not very safe..."
Qing Ya always felt a little weird when he heard the other party say, "Our server?" Don't you, the system master, belong to the server
Si Yan heard Qing Ya's implication, and said with a faint smile: "Of course we don't belong to the server, we... Strictly speaking, we belong to the switchboard. There are many extensions under the switchboard. We can also be called the host. These scattered servers, as well as the complex plot world. And we, a... auxiliary organization of the mainframe."
When an ability to create an independent NPC is born in a central area, it will be automatically upgraded to become a server in this area.
But this server has been in operation for a long time, and the inside may be infiltrated and corrupted by players, or it may be attacked by other external forces. At this time, the only thing we can do is to have an independent space, so that even if the server crashes, it can still exist independently. Of course, the premise is Don't get eaten by other powerful NPCs.
Qing Ya felt dizzy and asked, "Then... the players we met in the plot world before? Are they the same as our professional NPCs?"
As soon as Si Yan heard the word player, he sighed softly, "Same, different... To be precise, we are all 'characters' that can be added to a specific plot world at any time, but we belong to They have their system, and we... are independent. They have their rules of survival and beliefs, and we have our rules and missions, so... just do your part."
Si Yan spoke objectively and did not stand on one side to criticize the other.
Finally, he said: "Do you still remember the last battle of the lords and the battle of the city lords you organized?"
Qing Ya nodded, of course she remembered that she participated in both times, and even took the initiative to lead one of the battles.
"Do you know why those players have infinite resurrection and privileges in our world?"
Qing Ya: "Because they are players."
Si Yan: "That's right, they are players, because they still have their own noumenon world, where they have all the energy to supply the body where their soul consciousness resides. So in the game world, everything is just the projection of their consciousness, so how come Neither will die."
Qing Ya knew this, so Si Yan suggested that she accumulate more fragments...
Si Yan: "But they are not satisfied. I remember telling you before that someone once opened up the channel between the real world and the virtual world. The place where the server is located is the "knot" of this area, which can also be called the hub. Adjustment of the surrounding plot worlds. Once this knot is broken, those powerful species will invade the weak ones, and the weak ones will disappear... "
After Si Yan sorted it out, and then contacted the characters he had experienced, a thread gradually became clear.
Qingya thinks of the last time she became the guardian boss of the temple, and thinks of those players who want to capture the temple frantically, and the other side of the temple barrier is a very dark and terrifying world, the host is so for the players, but they want to break in I feel a little depressed in my heart. Some don't understand: "Since they want to die, why not let them die?"
"Hehe" Si Yan smiled lightly, he didn't answer Qing Ya's question directly, because these "big truths" are always illusory if they are told by others, and only when they truly experience and understand can they become their own comprehension.
He used to think like this, and it is only now that he gradually understands the truth.
Qing Ya pouted: "You said that those species are so powerful even the weakest human beings, why did we have to guard this hub?"
The smile on the corner of Si Yan's mouth widened: "Of course it's because we are weak, because we are weak, and our root is in the mainframe, so we will never recite it... Of course, the only end of recitation is annihilation."
Qing Ya: "Even in the end... You said that if you gather all the fragments and have a soul, you will be annihilated?"
Si Yan: "Of course."
As the foundation of the law, it naturally cannot tolerate so many "excuses".
After Qing Ya heard this, she was silent for a long time, her heart was filled with huge waves, and then slowly calmed down again. When all her thoughts returned to calm, she felt that her whole body had some kind of sublimation.
The two chatted for a long time without realizing it, and it went too far.
Right now, Qing Ya faces the question of survival.
Those professional NPCs who have survived for a long time have already started to plan ahead, or contacted other servers, or cuddled with each other, and have found a way out. Now they are a little calmer in the face of virus invasion, and the rest are also looking for backers.
It's too late to rush to hug Buddha's feet only now. Of course, unless you are particularly outstanding, people still need strong talents.
However, once they get together with each other now, it means being bound forever, which is equivalent to solidifying the NPC, which is really not Qing Ya's original intention.
As a small professional NPC who has not yet shed the "junior" skin, if she, Mimi, Jiu'er, and Mumu want to survive the big waves washing the sand, they must make the defense of this "homestay" as good as possible. Strong, strong again.
After resting for a whole day, Qing Ya took out all the gold coins and fragments she earned this time and handed them over to Mimi, letting her not care about other things now, only need to strengthen the defense wall of the "homestay" as much as possible.
Mimi felt that these guys were acting obediently, and asked: "Yaya, tell me honestly, is it because of those viruses? Are we really going to be breached here?"
Before, Jiu'er and Mu Mu kept it from Mimi, but they were actually afraid that Mimi would be worried.
But Qing Ya thinks that if you want to worry, let everyone worry about it together, how good it is.
So he said: "Yes, yes, isn't it the virus that is about to attack? We have handed over our base camp to you. You must make it impenetrable, or we won't even have a home next time we come back. "
Mimi was really frightened by Qing Ya, her expression changed.
Standing up suddenly, he murmured: "Yes, yes, I must protect our home well so that I can wait for you to come back..."
She didn't even delay at all, she went directly to the World Channel to buy materials for the defensive wall, and threw Qingya where she was...
Qing Ya was stunned for a moment, it was the first time seeing Mimi frightened like this.
Will I make Mimi too nervous
But that's good too, I didn't even have to waste my time to let Mimi take the gold coin fragments, the other party just took them and left.
"Well, everyone is working hard, and I can't be lazy. In order to survive this big wave, keep fighting, NPC!"
