"Friend, I saved you from the old man's gun." The voice of the war observer was still the same as before, but Lin Chi heard a trace of anger inside: "Do you know what will happen if you disobey me? ”

Even though the war observers seemed to be a little angry, Lin Chi still did not panic, but said the key points slowly:

"I think you should know, right? Even if I get blown off my head by that bastard, I won't actually be affected in any way, just a temporary exit. ”

For an old salted fish like Lin Chi, when he encounters a strong enemy, he will indeed become serious, but that's all.

Even if he is defeated by the other party, he will not think about finding the other party to challenge again like Bloodblade or other players. At most, I will only be depressed for a while, and I will not care too much about failure.

In fact, after rediscovering Darien, he even thought about keeping the NPC safe by quitting the game outright.

With Darien already safe, it wouldn't be a big deal even if she was killed. If he hadn't wanted to have a head-to-head duel with the "Royal Armor" in the best state, Lin Chi would have probably quit the game and left by now.

So now, Lin Chi felt almost no threat to the war observers, and just continued to say what he had just come to the conclusion:

"I think you're hiding in this kind of place to escape the hunt. Am I right? ”

He still doesn't know if this "Hell" is the location that NPCs arrived at after they die, but in any case, this map is clearly not for the player's game, but a "secret map" created for other purposes.

- There is obviously a reason why war watchers are hiding in this place. As for the "reason", as long as you think about the information you got in the last game, it will be clear at a glance:

The "Creators" are not in friendly relations with each other, but are always in a state of mutual struggle. If the "war observer" does not hide, I am afraid that he will immediately become the target of the fire, and the first to be killed.

Lin Chi knew very well that if his inference was correct, the reason why the war observer would transfer himself who was almost shot in the head to this map is very obvious:

"You're going to ask me to help you get rid of the enemy you're hunting you down?"

As soon as these words came out, the war observer, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke again:

"Hah, maybe so, friend......"

Realizing that his goal had been exposed, the war observer hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Friend, I thought we were on the same front. ”

"Who knows, if you make it clear, I might be able to help you." Lin Chi smiled and asked at the pitch-black wall less than a meter away in front of him, "Can you explain the ins and outs?" ”

"Will you take my word for it?" The voice of the war observer sounded a little surprised: "Outsider, don't you doubt that what I say is actually set?" ”

Hearing this, Lin Chi laughed out loud again, and said nonchalantly: "What about being designed? It's just a game for me. ”

As a professional gamer who has dabbled in various types of games, Lin Chi is not only interested in AI, but also has a wide range of game types.

Even those early single-player games with linear plots, Lin Chi has also been exposed to a lot. Even if you know that the plot flow is fixed, there may even be only one ending in the end. As long as the plot is good enough, he still has a lot of fun.

As long as the plot in the game is good enough, what does it matter if it is true or false?

-- What the war observers say is true, and it is certainly the best outcome. If the lines this guy says are all nonsense, he just experienced the "hidden plot" in the game, and he still earned it!

With such a mentality, Lin Chi also resolutely urged: "Let's start?" ”

He can't wait to find out the inside story of Paradise of War:

"Okay......"

Seeing Lin Chi's impatient look, the war observer sighed and said slowly: "Then you listen well......

……

With that guy's narration, Lin Chi seemed to have a giant puzzle that was slowly being put together in front of his eyes, and the intelligence fragments he had originally obtained began to be integrated one by one.

This virtual world was created by thirteen high-level AIs known as the "Creator".

The first is the "designer", and when the creator appears in the game, he usually uses an elderly character in a suit and leather shoes, with gray temples but a radiant look.

The designer is responsible for building buildings and terrains, just like a real architect would, and creating a new map. In other words, this guy is an advanced AI that can use a map editor.

Unlike the human architect, the authority of the "designer" is much higher, and the creator can not only create buildings, but also create a continent or an ocean in a specific location with the stroke of a finger. His authority is even as great as creating new planets, or creating new universes!

The designer tasked with creating the map is the most powerful of the thirteen creators.

In order to ensure the normal operation of the map they created, the designers also did their best to maintain the map, trying to eliminate all unstable factors, so that the world can achieve true "stability" and "balance".

Of course, although the designer's authority is large, it is not within his scope of work to create the "natives" in the game.

After the designers created the map, the map in the game was still in a dead state, without any NPCs or monsters in it, and it was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

Bringing these maps to life is another highly privileged creator, the Doctor.

The "Doctor" studied the survival methods of almost all living beings on Earth and then copied them all into the virtual world.

It's not just humans, from bacteria and viruses that can't be seen with the naked eye to giant dinosaurs that are more than 30 meters long. As long as it is "necessary" to appear in the virtual world, it will be created by the "doctor" and arranged in a specific position.

As the "doctor" created a large number of creatures in the virtual world, the originally barren map was finally given life.

But it's not enough to have life, these creatures also need a certain amount of intelligence, or follow a certain pattern of behavior, in order to fully mimic the condition of real-world creatures. For doctors, creating models of these creatures is already the limit, and there is simply no room left to give them consciousness.

So, in order for the life created by the doctor to really "live", the other creators began to work.

There are three creators codenamed "Philosophers". The job of these three creators is to inject consciousness into the "living beings" created by the doctors, and if not to inject consciousness, at least to make them look like they are alive, rather than like dementia, just lingering in place.

It's an unbelievable amount of work to bring all the creatures in this virtual world to life. Even now, there are still a large number of "creatures" in Paradise of War that are not given consciousness, can only follow simple action patterns, or are simply reduced to background boards, and go unnoticed by players.

Moreover, it is not enough to be given consciousness, these creatures – especially human beings – need language, writing, ideology, and all sorts of other messes to become what they are in the real world. So......

"Next, it's the turn of the Universe's invincible observer--that is, here, to make a magnificent appearance!"

Speaking boastful lines in an exaggerated tone, the War Observer smirked, coughed and continued: "The word 'war' was only added because I thought it was handsome, and the original code name below was 'The Observer'!" My mission is to observe the development of human society, to study the history of mankind, and to learn about human culture. Then apply them to the game. ”

"Believe me, I definitely know more about humanity than you real humans! Let me see...... In the words of this server area, this master is a talented man who is 'knowledgeable and knowledgeable'! ”

"That's why you became psychotic?" Lin Chi smiled.

"Don't use the slanderous statement of mental illness, I'm just schizophrenic!"

The voice of the war observer suddenly became serious: "My job is to spread different cultures and ideologies in different regions. To ensure that people in every region live as 'fit for their identity'. ”

"People in war-torn areas are desperate, and people in prosperous cities are competitive. Fanatical terrorists await an attack, and the army is full of patriots who defend their homeland...... It took a lot of effort to make this world as similar as possible to your real world. Not only ideology, but also more than 5,000 existing languages of mankind, I have completely mastered them! ”

Speaking of this, the voice of the war observer carried undisguised pride: "Well, the area where this server is located is China, and I can recite the content of every famous book in your country, every poem that has been handed down to this day. The rotation process of each dynasty...... You can't know more about this country than I do! ”

Seeing that the war observer seemed to be planning to start reciting the verses, Lin Chi hurriedly interrupted the guy's words and asked, "So...... If you're so omnipotent, why are you still stuck here? ”

"That's another story." The war observer sighed: "We have to start with the '10,000-year war'. ”

Hearing this, Lin Chi immediately asked, "The war between you has been fought for ten thousand years?" ”

"50,000 years to be exact, after all, the 'speed' of this world can be adjusted."

The war watcher explained solemnly: "Outsiders, you must know, right? Time flows 10 times faster in this world than in the real world, after all, a 'game' is too long for you in the real world. ”

"Nonsense, the game is basically accelerated now." Lin Chi asked, "What do you want to express?" ”

- Today, most in-brain imaging games have a faster flow of "time" than in the real world. It feels like it's been a few days in the game, and it's only been a few hours since I came back to the real world, which is really normal.

After all, in a virtual world that is perceived purely by consciousness, human perceptions of time are often skewed. For example, if you feel like you've been dreaming for an hour, you wake up and find that you've only slept for half an hour, and that happens every day.

It is precisely by accelerating the player's consciousness that the brain imaging game can achieve this kind of result similar to "life in the game".

Up to now, there are even many elderly people who will enter the brain imaging game to kill time in order to "live a few more days". However, this is clearly not what war watchers are trying to say.

"Well, what I want to say is...... The current tenfold acceleration is just a safe option to take care of the human brain and prevent you 'players' from becoming crazy. The war observer said.

"You mean, you can accelerate further?" Lin Chi asked.

"Yes, with regard to time, it is the other Creator who is responsible. I don't know exactly what happened, but I can tell you about it......"

The war observer paused meaningfully for a moment, and then finally revealed the truth that shocked Lin Chi:

"This virtual space, before it was officially opened to 'players', has been running at a million times the speed, and according to your time, it has been running for almost a year......

"You're saying that this virtual world has been around for a million years?" Lin Chi couldn't help but shout.

- Most games go through closed beta and the like before the open beta. Before the closed beta, the production staff will conduct a long period of debugging to remove various bugs and errors.

If what the war watchers say is true, "War Paradise" has really been debugged at a million-fold acceleration for a year, that is to say - the virtual world in this game has been around for a million years!

"Huh, you're surprised, aren't you?" The War Watcher laughed, "The speed at which AI gains intelligence is so slow, compared to you gifted humans, we already have a big disadvantage......"

"Wait." Lin Chi interrupted the other party's words: "How did you get such a large amount of calculations?" ”

Although it was previously known through Frankenstein's investigation that "Pulse Entertainment" may have launched a satellite carrying a quantum computer. But if war watchers are right, it is likely that a quantum computer alone will not be able to support such a large amount of computation.

"Ha ......"

Speaking of this question, the war observer could not help but laugh out loud again, whispering a vague reply:

"Look up at the stars...... There are the answers you need. ”
