Chapter 81: Copy Yourself

Scott Lang: "Let me guess, life is coming to an end, and the money isn't spent. ”

Scott Lang: "That's just a joke, if you mind, I'm not saying it." ”

James Halliday: "For me, money is just a string of numbers, not as attractive as a string of codes. ”

Scott Long: (Emote: Critical Damage, Health Bar -999). ”

Multiverse Observer: "Worship God!"

James Halliday: "When you're young, you make all sorts of mistakes. When I was young, because of paranoia, because I was busy, I neglected my relatives and friends. Time is gone, and it's a pity that I can't finish it in this life. ”

James Halliday: "@多元宇宙观察者, thank you for the video, I think I'm going to design these regrets in the Oasis universe and have some super gamer help me make up for them, tell my lover and friends that I love them." ”

Meng Xiaobai didn't speak, James Halliday's words woke him up like a dream, and now he is so similar to the young James Halliday.

He has been lonely and busy since he worked, and if this continues, he may become a second James Halliday, the richest lonely old man in the world.

"I need more assistants and managers. Meng Xiaobai thought to himself that he should hand over more things to others to complete and give himself more free time.

Multiverse Observer: "@詹姆斯 Halliday, I have a question for me, how can I design a game as miraculous as Oasis? ”

James Halliday: "You're not the first to ask me this question, if I had to answer it. I only have two points, the first is love and the second is talent. Only those who love games, are willing to put all their heart and soul into them, and also have extraordinary talents, can design truly interesting games and become people's spiritual sustenance. ”

Multiverse Observer: "There are too few people like this. ”

James Halliday: "yes, I've been looking for a long time, too. I've even tried to replicate someone like 'me', but I haven't succeeded yet. ”

In the Oasis game world, there is a famous NPC, the prophet Arnoke. He is a "god-level" existence in the game world, omniscient and omnipotent, which is actually one of the "doppelgangers" designed by James Halliday for himself.

What others don't know is that apart from this doppelganger, James Halliday has other doppelgangers in the game world. He tried to copy himself with a program, and in layman's terms, it was like designing an "intelligent life", an intelligent life with its own memories.

Meng Xiaobai was very interested in this, and he asked, "To what extent have you copied yourself?"

James Halliday: "He has my memory, my understanding of the game, but he lacks human emotion!

Speaking of this question, the parent body spoke: "Because the self you have copied has not yet reached the level of intelligent life, it is just an imperfect intelligent program, and it only knows how to learn and create at the beginning. ”

"In my matrix world, there are a lot of such little guys. They live with humans in the matrix world, and when they absorb enough knowledge, they will 'awaken' their self-awareness and become truly independent intelligent beings. ”

James Halliday: "I see, I see. ”

A few minutes later, James Halliday sent a private message to Meng Xiaobai, saying, "Do you need a genius game designer?"

Meng Xiaobai: "Very much needed!"

James Halliday: "What do you think of me?"

Meng Xiaobai was surprised, could it be that James Halliday wanted to be his game designer? No, didn't he have a short time?

He hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

James Halliday: "I've spent more than a decade replicating myself trying to make another 'me' live in the game world. It's a pity that the 'James Halliday Jr.' I copied is just a puppet with no emotions. So I want him to follow you, and maybe you can give him a real life. ”

Afraid that Meng Xiaobai would not agree, James Halliday continued to add: "He has all my game wisdom and will design games himself. Like me, he's a game nerd, and his favorite thing is to play and design games without negatively affecting you. ”

"I can't ask for it!" Meng Xiaobai was pleasantly surprised, he was lacking such a talent! Although he was just an "NPC" who had not yet grown into an intelligent life, his game design wisdom was priceless!

In the virtual world of "Oasis", in the cabin where James Halliday lives, a little James Halliday is playing an ancient game of controller in the cabin.

James Halliday Sr. opened the door and walked in, looking at the "boy" version of himself with a smile on his face.

"Little Halliday. He shouted.

Little Halliday glanced back at him, his eyes full of confusion.

"Little one, get out of this hut. James Halliday put his hand on his head and said, "Go see the outside world and create your own game world." ”

Little Halliday nodded expressionlessly, he didn't know anything about what was coming.

Back in the real world, the real James Halliday is lying in the world's top gaming pod. He described it as withered, and he was already an old man in his last years.

James Halliday stepped out of the pod and opened a safe in his home, which contained rows of watches.

This is not a mechanical handmade watch, a precious collector's item, but a smart watch. But the value of these smart watches is far higher than that of mechanical watches! Because each smart watch here represents a super NPC in the virtual world of "Oasis", which is a "doppelganger" designed by James Halliday.

He pulled out one of the black smart watches and prepared to transmit it to the author of the short video, the person with the ID of Multiverse Observer.

"The test has passed and has been successfully delivered. A chime sounded from James Halliday's smart device.

At the same time, in the time and space where Meng Xiaobai was, a smart watch suddenly appeared on his desk.

"This is 'James Halliday'?" Meng Xiaobai picked up the smart watch and observed, this watch is finely made, the strap seems to be made of some kind of precious leather, the dial is small, and there are mechanical hands on it, Meng Xiaobai suspects that it is just a mechanical watch, not a smart watch.

"Sir, I'm James Halliday, please take care of me in the future. A childish voice came from Meng Xiaobai's ears, and then the image of a teenager was projected on the smart watch.
