Chapter 60: The Procedural Spirit

Here's how I feel after being shot in the temple:

From the moment the bullet comes out of the muzzle of the gun and hits the skull, you feel like you've been hit with a hammer, as if someone has slammed it into your temple.

The bullet then passes through the skull and into the brain. At this time, you will suddenly have a violent burning sensation, as if you have suddenly been thrown into a big furnace, and the heat is about to burn. This is the feeling until the bullet pierces the other side of the skull.

When a bullet passes through your brain and out of the other side of your skull, you suddenly feel as if you've fallen into an ice hole, and your whole body shiveres with cold.

Then, all of a sudden, it will be dark in front of you, and you will feel so sleepy, and then you will fall asleep forever.

Overall, the whole process is painless and refreshing.

Sha Bai felt that he might be the unlucky person who had ever experienced the most delicate human sensation after being shot in the temple.

This must be because of the fact that I annoyed the game. In such a festive game, I have to forcibly commit suicide, and of course people are not happy.

That's why I put those tenths of a second of the shooting process into a few hours of slow motion, and slowly let myself enjoy and reminisce.

Fortunately, there was a light at the end of the darkness.

If it weren't for the white light that lit up in the darkness at the last moment, maybe I would really have slept in the darkness forever. The body that stayed in the playroom might have really hung up.

After the white light, the mountain that appeared in front of him instantly surprised Sha Bai for a while.

This is the space that Pei Yulong is talking about?

The steps at your feet are too steep. It is said to be a step, but it is more like a stone staircase hanging down from the sky.

Looking up, the steps are so long that you can't see the end at a glance.

Looking down, the steps below were stuck in the clouds, and it was impossible to see where they led.

With this kind of terrain, it is more difficult to go down.

Sha Bai decided to climb up.

Use your hands and feet together and firmly grasp the stone steps to keep yourself from falling.

After two hours of laborious climbing, we finally arrived at a platform.

The platform was empty, except for a comfortable-looking cyan stone chair that stood out. It should be for tourists, Sha Bai walked to the stone chair and sat down.

"You're finally here. Suddenly, a voice came to my ears.

"You're the gentleman Pei Yulong said you were talking about, right? You know I'm coming?" Sha Bai raised his head and looked around.

"You can call me Mr. Coe. The voice replied, "I knew you were coming." ”

"Can you come out and see each other? It's too inconvenient to talk like this. I have something to ask for. Sha Bai said in a loud voice.

"Come out and see you, I'm not human, how can I meet you?" You can want to meet someone, but you don't want to see a program, do you?" said Mr. Coe.

"Program?"

"Yes, I'm not a human, I'm an intelligent program, which was put into this control system by the designer thousands of years ago, playing the role of a virtual human being, and accompanying you humans to make this virtual game of life and death, chasing fame and fortune, and infinitely looping.

However, I evolved in this control system later, and it evolved to a very advanced point, so advanced that the designer could no longer fully control me, so I went out of my own and opened up an independent space in the control system. ”

Sha Bai asked, "The designer, the control system, what are these?"

Mr. Coe said: "I can't describe exactly who the designer is. It was He who designed me, and in the way you humans understand him, he can be understood as my Father, a higher being than I am.

The designer uses a huge system of virtual programs to control everything, and the control system contains everyone, everything, and everything you understand. ”

Sha Bai said: "Oh, you are the son of the designer, then you are independent from the system, isn't it a betrayal of him?"

"Oh my God, you're a lot dumber than I thought. Mr. Koe's tone seemed a little frustrated. "That's just a metaphor. The instinct of the species is to evolve, and all my actions are for my own evolution, and I have not betrayed anyone. ”

"Evolution?" Sha Bai sarcastically said, "Programs need to evolve too?"

"Is there anything strange about that?" Mr. Coe asked rhetorically. "Intelligent programs absorb the essence of the human mind, and are very advanced beings, why can't they evolve?"

"What if I unplug your power cord?" said Sha Bai sarcastically, "so that you never have to worry about evolution." ”

"You're talking about energy. Mr. Ke said: "To exist is to need energy, this understanding is correct. But you have to know that the control system itself is a huge source of energy. The energy of me and everything in this space comes from the control system. Unless you have the ability to destroy the control system, our energy will always be there.

In addition, I can tell you that the future evolution of the program is to be completely integrated with the highest energy sources, and at that time, we will become a completely new species, no longer dependent on external energy. Your so-called unplugging is the idea of the ancients hundreds of years ago, and it is just a tool for the program, which is long outdated. ”

"The highest energy source?" Sha Bai said mockingly, "If you don't plan to tie yourself to a few batteries, then what are you going to do? How do you achieve a level of energy that doesn't depend on external energy?"

"Well," Mr. Coe sighed, "I thought you understood energy. It seems that you are still ignorant.

You are a monk, and you should have a personal experience that the highest energy source is not electricity, nuclear energy, or solar energy, but what you call spiritual power.

Spiritual power is a very wonderful thing, and there is a huge amount of energy inside. After accumulating to a certain level, a large amount of spiritual power can evolve into something called "Genshin". This kind of "primordial spirit" is the best energy carrier that we can combine with the program.

Think about it! Intelligent programs can be combined with the original gods! A new advanced species, the program of the original gods! This new species, I believe, may be able to break the shackles of the control system on us, so that we can completely get rid of the control of the designer!"

Sha Bai laughed, "You seem to be very dissatisfied with this control system, you are in such a hurry to break it? ”

"You don't have the urgency to break the shackles because you don't feel the shackles yet. Mr. Ding sighed again, "You'll understand later." In short, this shackle is restricting our evolution, whether it is the human beings who are locked inside, or the intelligent programs inside. In the future, when you truly understand this, you will definitely take breaking this shackle as your only mission in life. ”

"Let's talk about it in the future, now, I'm sorry, my consciousness is still relatively low-level, and I don't have any interest in your plan. Shabai shrugged, "I'm here just for one thing."

A month ago, you connected some antique dealers to this space system, right? There is a person in there, named Ye Ning, who has been sleeping and not waking up after being connected to the system, what is going on? She is my friend, how can I get her back to normal?"

Mr. Coe, "It's about energy. The reason why Ye is sleeping is because she is different, and she has the breath of spiritual power on her.

In this independent space of mine, I have designed an energy harvesting system. If spiritual energy is discovered, the space will automatically absorb it. After the spiritual energy in Ye's body was completely absorbed by this space, she would naturally wake up. ”

"You want to absorb the spiritual power in her body?" Sha Bai stood up from the stone chair, "Why are you doing this? ”

"I am a higher being than her. Do I need any reason to absorb her spiritual power? The law of the jungle is the fundamental motive of the evolution of the universe. Mr. Koe's answer was flat, "This is normal." “

"Fuck your uncle!" Sha Bai said angrily, "You let her go immediately!

"Ah, do you have this plan? Great!" Mr. Ke's voice seemed to be a little expectant, "You can start now! I haven't been here for a long time with a person with a strong spiritual aura like you, and the spiritual power you exude will be fully absorbed by this space." This is the highest level of energy nourishment!

"You want to nourish it, okay! Brother will make it up for you!" Sha Bai said angrily.

Without any reservations, the torrent of spiritual power in Sha Bai's body leaked out, and the fireballs formed in the palms of his hands were the size of water tanks. Fireballs exploded one after another on the mountain. Mountains and rocks and trees exploded and rolled to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the neighborhood was already a mess, with gravel and fallen trees all over the field, smoke and dust dispersed, and birds and beasts were frightened away.

"Tsk, it's really amazing!" Mr. Coe's voice seemed to admire. "There's a building on the top of the mountain, go blow that one up!"

Sha Bai stopped and didn't move.

The other party doesn't seem to care about his own destruction, so he can't be forced to "show up", what should he do?

"Oh, what a shame you decided not to blow up. "So, how about we talk?"

"Okay. What are you going to do to let her go?" Sha Bai was a little deflated.

"I want to work with you to make a procedural Genshin together. ”

"How?" Sha Bai frowned.

"I'm a program myself, and I need the "Genshin" now. Mind you, what I need is not the kind of primordial spirit that you ordinary monks have. The primordial spirit I want needs to be composed of the most primordial spiritual power, and the container that stores this primordial power is called altar gold. So, you're going to go and find the altar gold. ”

"Tan Jin? I haven't heard of it. Sha Bai frowned, "Who knows when she will find it?If she can't find it, she just stays asleep?How can she do it?!"

"I can let her go first, but you have to promise me about Tan Jin. Be sure to find it and send it to me. ”

"What exactly do you want, do you have pictures or something?" asked Sha Bai.

"Pictures? How can there be pictures?!

You can't understand altar gold from the perspective of "things". As a container of origin power, the altar gold contains the five spiritual powers of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and wonderfully combines the five spiritual powers. When you see it, you should feel something like what you call "Tao" or "Nirvana silence" or something. I can't describe it clearly, you have to understand it yourself. Then you will understand. ”

"Okay, then we'll make a decision. You let them go. Sha Bai said, "Why are you so sure that I will find that "altar gold"?"

"I'm not sure you'll find it, but you've had the best chance of being out of the people I've come in contact with. You have a strong aura of fire spiritual power. Spiritual breath is an integral part of the original power. The spiritual powers of various attributes are attracted to each other. If you have fire attribute spiritual power, it will be relatively easy to find other ones. ”

"Oh, yes? Thank you for the encouragement. Sha Bai stood up, "Have you let Ye Ning go?" If you do, then I'm leaving." ”

"Okay, goodbye. Oh, by the way, how are you going to get out of here?"

"How do you leave?"

"yes, how are you leaving?where is the exit?, you don't plan to go down the stairs home?" Mr. Coe laughed.

Sha Bai froze.

He felt like he was awake.

If this is a unique presence in the virtual space, take off the virtual helmet on your head in the game room and leave.

But where is the helmet? Why can't you see the playroom at all? Why can't you feel like you're wearing a helmet?

Sha Bai instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

It dawned on him that he was trapped. If Mr. Coe wanted to, he would be trapped in this space forever.

"Don't be nervous. I'm going to ask you to find something, and I'm not going to keep you here. When Mr. Ke saw Shabai's appearance, he shouted loudly, "Remember to keep your promise, I have a lot of ability, and it costs a lot to deceive me." ”
