Shen Yiran couldn't remember how he got back to his bedroom.

To this day, his mind was still thinking about the conversation he had just had.

"Parallel Universe?Multi-faceted Game?Tencent Entertainment Empire?"

In the bathroom before, the weak voice in the headset told him for a long time, although he didn't fully understand many terms, but he clearly understood one thing, that is, the game in his mobile phone connected to another world.

"In other words, in another dimension, there is a planet called Earth, and there is a company called Tencent Technology on it, which made this game in my phone, and you are the artificial intelligence of this game. ”

Leaning on the bed and sorting out his thoughts clearly in his mind, Shen Yiran then asked: "So, I want to ask, Mr. AI, since your civilization has such a powerful level of technology, what is the purpose of letting me download this game?"

Hearing this question, there was silence in the headset for about half a minute before he replied: "Actually, the civilization that developed me was completely destroyed tens of trillions of cosmic years ago. ”

"What? Destroyed? How is this possible?"

Ignoring Shen Yiran's shock and rhetorical question, the voice in the headset continued: "Tencent Technology used to be one of the world's largest integrated Internet service providers, with billions of users, and my developer was the programmer of this company.

They combined the latest spatial particle transmission with artificial intelligence technology to create Idol Road, an almost flawless development game.

However, due to the increasing international political tensions, until the outbreak of all-out war, the game was not able to go live and operate.

My developers didn't want their game to disappear in the war, so they compiled me into particle code and launched it using teleportation technology.

They have a ridiculous dream that one day my signal will be picked up by other similar civilizations, even if the possibility is infinitely close to zero, but at least there is a slight possibility of a real player. ”

Hearing these words, Shen Yiran felt a little heavy for a while, although he was not a programmer, but as a student of the Conservatory, he knew very well what kind of sadness it would be for creators to have no audience for their works.

With empathy, he couldn't help but ask another question: "Then why do they set such a high membership fee?

"Feelings?"

The voice in the headset paused, and after a while, he said: "Players who are reluctant to spend money on games are not real players, and creating happiness with money is the philosophy that our company follows." ”

Shen Yiran is obviously not very satisfied with the answer given by artificial intelligence, and there is nothing wrong with dividing the audience with money from the perspective of art economics, but such a high membership fee seems a little too unreasonable.

Shaking his head and thinking for a few seconds, suddenly he thought of a reason, slapped his thigh, and analyzed it seriously: " I think it should be because of the political situation that led to the collapse of the economy, so there was inflation, and during the period of game development, the purchasing power of money will definitely drop significantly, maybe 10,000 yuan can only buy a bottle of water or even lower at that time, so the programmers who develop the game will set this kind of membership fee that is sky-high in my opinion, and the concept you just said, I think it's more like a self-deprecating way, I believe that the real philosophy of this company is to create happiness with heart......"

Seemingly satisfied with the explanation made up by his brain, Shen Yiran continued: "Mr. AI, I am not against these paid projects in the game, and I am not unwilling to spend money, on the contrary, I respect creators with dreams, but unfortunately I really don't have so much money, so in order to better fulfill the wishes of the producers, do you see if you can readjust the membership fee in the game according to the purchasing power of the currency?"

"Sorry, not at the moment. ”

The cold six words made Shen Yiran sigh in frustration, picked up his phone, looked at his cartoon avatar on the screen, and asked unwillingly: "So, Mr. AI, what should I do next?"

"The game assistant costs ten yuan an hour, do you want to buy it?"

As soon as the voice fell, a sweet system prompt sounded in the earphones, and a purchase pop-up pop-up pop-up popped up on the mobile phone screen at the same time.

"FUCK! I don't know why, but I suddenly want to take back the defense I just made on behalf of your company. ”

For this ubiquitous internal purchase, Shen Yiran couldn't help but complain, but his fingers couldn't help but choose the button to confirm the purchase, a blue light flashed, the account balance was reduced by ten yuan, and a man wearing a lilac suit, tough facial features, and sword eyebrows appeared on the screen.

"Hello dear players, thank you for your purchase. I am your game assistant Chu Han, you can call me Mr. Chu, I can help you solve all the problems you encounter in the game and bring you a better gaming experience. ”

The voice of the artificial intelligence that came from the headset was still the one who had spoken to him before, maybe because he had paid, and this time there was a little more sincerity in his tone.

"That, Mr. Chu, I just want to ask a question. ”

Looking at the beautiful man on the screen, Shen Yiran was a little indignant.

"Why is your art style different from mine, why can I only be a Q version of a cartoon character in the game!"

As an artificial intelligence, it is an unforgivable thing for all players to design their image so perfectly.

"Dear gamers, since Idol Road is a female-oriented development game, my image is designed based on data from tens of millions of women's research reports. ”

Chu Han said as he pulled out a page on the screen and continued: "If you are dissatisfied with my image, you can design a look for me in the mall or buy all kinds of clothes, and you can enjoy ...... for new summer styles."

Without waiting for the voice in the headset to finish, Shen Yiran closed the dazzling shopping page, and when he thought of the price in this game, he suddenly felt that the image of artificial intelligence was actually quite cute.

"Okay, Mr. Chu, let's not worry about these details now, just tell me, how can I continue the game?"

Obviously, Shen Yiran has a strong curiosity about a civilization that has disappeared, and he can't wait to continue the game.

"Gacha!"

Artificial intelligence Chu Han gave a simple and crude answer.

"What else?"

Shen Yiran continued to ask without giving up, he didn't believe that a cross-space, cross-plane, cross-platform game that claimed to be flawless, and the core gameplay was just card drawing.

"Draw more types and higher levels of cards after topping up......"
