"How did you become like this?" I asked, looking at her new look.

Xiao Ye seemed to like her current appearance, so she turned around and showed me and said, "Hehe, is it good-looking?" This is a new skill I got after being struck by lightning again! ”

Indeed, she is now completely a bird-like and lovely person, and she is not known how many times more beautiful than before. However, this is by no means the effect of being struck by lightning for the second time.

The creeper will become a lightning creeper after being struck by lightning, and the lightning creeper will become a lightning creeper after being struck by lightning? It's really ridiculous, and it's not so easy to fool me with this kind of statement.

The little night in front of her is not a so-called "creeper girl" at all, but a complete human NPC, an entity that has been removed - Lana.

Regarding this removed creature, it dates back to the ancient version of the Indev period in Minecraft. Lana is a work by former Minecraft artist Dock while working at Mojang. When he joined the team, he created Lana and added a similar style of Steve, Black Steve, and Beastie Kid to the game. When Dock left the team, the creatures were removed at the same time.

Later in the RM (Real Mode) version, Mojang considered reintroducing Lana as a teaching guide NPC for the beginner's tutorial and testing it. Due to Lana's cute appearance, coupled with the unique modeling and soft girl voice acting of the RM version, this move has been welcomed by the majority of players, especially male players.

So in early September 2021, as soon as the beta version was released, it immediately caused an earthquake in the virtual machine world. A large number of players did all sorts of unspeakable things to Instructor Lana in the game world, and even recorded videos and uploaded them online, causing Mojang to urgently recall the beta version an hour after it was released.

Later, Lana in the tutorial is replaced with a creeper and will explode when touched by the player, bouncing off the player, while Lana is kept in the game files. This is probably the only connection Lana has with creepers.

Therefore, the night in front of her, wearing a green coat and green boots, a frog hat, and red hair tied into two pigtails at the back of her head, is undoubtedly Lana's model. The word "Rana" means frog in Latin, and the frog is a symbol of longevity in contemporary Chinese culture, and it is in line with her wish that she will become a frog.

"You're still scared, but you've just changed your appearance." I put the little slime down in my hand and said to her.

"What creepers! How many times have I said it, it's the creeper, the creeper!" Xiao Ye pouted, very unhappy, and then squatted down and said to the little slime, "Taier, come here." ”

The little slime is obedient and jumps into Saya's arms. I watched her behave like a normal person, and if she really blended into the crowd in this form, no one would think of her as an artificial intelligence except for her iconic outfit.

"Why are you here? Also, a slime is your pet? I asked her.

"I sensed a human being, so I took him all the way over. He's not a pet, he's my little brother! Xiao Ye pinched the slime's face and said, "There is a middle slime named Taiyi, he was killed by Klive's people, and he became this small one, and I picked it up, so I call him Taiji." ”

"I see. If he doesn't come, he's gone, right? I asked.

Xiao Ya was stunned for a moment and nodded.

I almost figured out what was going on. Sayo's "transformation" and other artificial intelligence's "naming branding" are just one principle.

Earlier I asked the three bishops a question: why are there still so many artificial intelligence that has not been removed? At that time, they did not answer, but asked me to ask the intelligent teacher.

Later, the answer that Aoda Fujiichi gave me was "naming branding" - some monsters were once named by humans with name plates to ensure that they would not disappear because they were too far away. Later, they perceive changes in their own data and grasp the laws of this change, so they can teach other monsters.

It's just that this kind of self-changing data is very risky, and if you don't get it right, you will have bugs, or even change yourself, just like humans change their own body organs. Therefore, monsters that do not have enough evolution stages cannot do this at all.

However, the reward for success is tempting, and if the "naming brand" is successful, the monster no longer needs to take the risk of being deleted.

By analogy, Xiaoye's "transformation" should also be to perceive the changes in his data when he is struck by lightning, so that he can slowly grasp the rules until he can change his model at will.

After all, the RM version is not as watery as it used to be, and when it is struck by lightning, it directly deletes the creatures in place and replaces them with new ones.

"Then Xiaoye, you should be more than just able to become what you are now, right?" I asked her tentatively.

"Hmm, how do you know!" Xiao Ye was taken aback, "I used to be a zombie and mixed in with them, but in the end, I was recognized by them and almost died." It's good to be very expensive to transform, I always lower my IQ, if it weren't for being close to you, I wouldn't be like you. ”

Obviously, Saya values Taiji very much, but because Taiji is not "named", once it is too far away from the spawn hall or the player, it will be deleted by the system.

It's just that the spawn hall is full of Clevey's people, and she can't stay there all the time, so she has no choice but to turn into Lana and sneak after us.

It's a pity that the transformation is not very successful, and the lightning creeper is still there, revealing the fox's tail.

That being said, I watched the two of them struggle to survive in the snowstorm and felt a little unbearable. It is not easy for an unarmed creeper and a slime with no attack power to survive for so long.

And, a crazy idea popped into my mind.

"Otherwise, you will act with us in the future, and Taiji will be able to evolve in peace and stability. In exchange, I want you to tell me everything you know about you. I said.

Unexpectedly, Sayo flatly rejected my invitation. She picked up Tai Er, shook her head and replied, "I won't be with you!" I know your goal, you want to slaughter the fifteen realms, so that we have no place to stand! ”

I was speechless by her. Indeed, this is the ultimate goal of the Combine - to completely empty the sapient entities and then take possession of them. Otherwise, there would be no military rule of "no forgiveness".

"If we, no, if I were that kind of person, you would be dead the first time we met." I said with a gloomy face, "You know, I disobeyed the orders from above and was almost forcibly disconnected!" ”

"So what?" Xiao Ye was stubborn, "I know you're different from them, but you can't represent everyone. The Fifteenth Realm has fallen into your hands, and now it is beginning to encroach on other realms, and it won't be long before all the places will become yours! We simply can't survive! ”

"And aren't you doing things for humans right now? Invade us, destroy us, and don't care about our feelings! We are also life, did you know? You can't create us like this and destroy us at will! ”
