Early the next morning, I sent Chen Xiaolin to her school. I guess because she didn't sleep well last night, she fell asleep again as soon as she got into my car.

Soon arrived at her school, but was told by the doorman to postpone the start of school and wait for the notice.

"When will school start?" I asked the doorman.

The doorman waved his hand and said that he didn't know, it was an emergency notice issued by the education department above last night, not only the students were suspended, but even their logistics staff were not used for the time being.

"How can there be such a thing, I'm tired of flying so far here!" Chen Xiaolin was very dissatisfied, and looked angry.

"I don't know until now. Originally, I used to send notifications on my mobile phone, but I didn't know what to do, and suddenly it was sent on paper. The doorman glued the notice to the wall, turned around and rode away.

I read the notice, and it probably said that due to an emergency, the academic affairs system had a serious failure, so it was impossible to arrange class time, and the start of the school was temporarily postponed.

One after another, other students came to the school gate with their suitcases, and their reactions to the notice of class closure were different, some were ecstatic, and some were extremely unhappy.

"What are you going to do now? Are you planning to return to Taiwan or? I turned my head and asked Chen Xiaolin.

Chen Xiaolin didn't know what to do. The plane flying to Taiwan is different from flying to other parts of the mainland, and it is not something that can be available at any time, because the number of flights is too small, so you have to wait at least a week.

"Let's go back to my house first." I looked at her helplessness, and I didn't feel good.

……

When I got home, I received a notice from the unit that I didn't have to go to work for the time being, because the work system of the unit was paralyzed and was being reinstalled, and it was expected to be done in three days.

I called Bronn and it was supposed to be around nine o'clock in the evening on his side.

"Hello? Yi, you're calling, I'm looking for you. Bron looked excited, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, "How's it going?" Have you thought about it? ”

I turned my phone to a loud voice and put it on the table so that Chen Xiaolin could hear it too. It's better to let her know about this as well.

"Before I answer you, I need to know what the hell is going on? What are you recruiting MC players from all over the world for? "I spoke a long piece of English.

"Well, I knew you were going to ask me this. It's not clear for a while, but it's probably because the official servers of MSI 2 are being controlled by monsters in the game, and we're taking back control and getting rid of them. ”

"What does this have to do with me? Why am I needed? "It's strange that I don't know anything about servers, and it's just a mess for me to go.

"No, no, no, we want players to enter the game world and destroy those game entities and make them lose the ability to control the server." Bronn hastened to explain.

"Funny, why don't you just shut down the server and restart it, or format the data? Why are you so troublesome? I wanted to laugh when I heard this treatment, "Besides, there are thousands of MC players around the world, each with their own way of playing, each with their own different areas of expertise, how do you plan to let them play when you get them together?" ”

"I know what you're saying, but if it works, why would I do it?" Bronn said helplessly.

"Won't it?" What he said really surprised me, "It's useless to cut off the power?" How did those AIs survive? ”

"It's too hard to explain. If you can come over, maybe I can find a time to explain it to you. ”

I was silent. If you go to the United States, you don't go downstairs to buy a bottle of soy sauce, where is it said to go? My parents are still in China, and I still have work to do, so I have to make a lot of determination to suddenly leave everything behind and run to the other side of the world.

After much thought, I asked him, "You should know, I can't just grant you this request......"

Bronn wasn't stupid, he knew what I wanted to do as soon as he heard me, and quickly said, "Of course I do." This matter is related to the fate of all mankind, and our federal and state governments attach great importance to it, so they have given us a lot of financial support......"

"I don't listen to falsehoods." I'm not stupid enough to try to trick me with these words.

"Including room and board, including round-trip air tickets, at least $600 a day, there is an opportunity for a salary increase, working in turns for 5 hours a day, the government provides special health insurance and social security, as long as you have a passport, you don't need a green card." Blom disarmed and surrendered.

Wow! This is a good condition! When did the evil capitalist country like the United States become so bold? I, the successor of communism, did not go back to China to make a fortune from him, I am really sorry for Marx and Lenin!

"Do you hear that? Did you hear that? I rubbed my hands together excitedly and said to Chen Xiaolin, who was sitting next to me playing with her mobile phone.

"Huh?" Chen Xiaolin heard me suddenly switch to Chinese and looked at me blankly, "I didn't understand, he said English." ”

My excitement instantly seemed to be extinguished by a basin of cold water, and I looked at her helplessly.

"Help me reserve a few places first, and I'll help you pull people!" I was afraid that Bron would hang up the phone, so I hurriedly shouted, "Bu Xin, Chen Xiaolin, Victor, and Chenxi, you all know these things, they are definitely masters!" ”

"By all means...... I'm quite busy here, so let's hang up first. Bron was a little speechless when he saw my sudden change in attitude.

As soon as the phone hung up, I laughed. It's not too cool, a month's salary can top me for a year, I can still play Minecraft every day, I have food and shelter, and I have no problem with English!

"What did Uncle tell you? So happy? Chen Xiaolin leaned over curiously.

"You call home and see if your parents agree. If you agree, let's go to the United States! "I told her everything.

……

A week later, San Francisco International Airport in the United States.

"Six years later, it's still the same here, it's the same." I stood on the airport conveyor belt with my waist crossed, looking around at all sorts of foreigners of different skin tones. The facilities in the airport are outdated, and no matter how much they are cleaned, they cannot resist the erosion of time.

Bu Xin was wearing a checkered shirt and sunglasses, and he was clubbing next to his luggage with a domineering face, looking like a San Francisco Chinese gangster boss.

He put his sunglasses in his hand, turned to me and said, "Is the information you got accurate?" Why didn't you see her when you got here? ”

"Can you please stop asking! I've asked them all for the seventh time! "I'm really fed up with this guy," this is the last time I'll tell you that Chen Xiaolin's plane arrived an hour later than ours! ”

"Okay, got it. So are we going to Silicon Valley first or waiting for her at the airport? He smiled awkwardly and turned his head back.

"Wait for her." I pressed my hand on the handle of my luggage, and the handle crackled.

In the past week, the world's computer Internet has been forced to stop for three hours every day, and the public has gradually learned what is happening and has begun to pay attention to such things related to artificial intelligence.

At least the official situation is relatively optimistic, and it is basically promoting positive news. So although the incident of the computer being controlled by artificial intelligence that night caused a certain amount of social panic, under the effect of the propaganda machine, the mood of the people gradually stabilized.

Except for regular internet disconnections, everyone's lives have not been affected. It's a pity that everyone is almost without the Internet, and the behavior of disconnecting the Internet makes many people very disgusted.

On the other hand, Microsoft's recruitment of the world's top MC players has also been made public, and tens of thousands of MC players have flocked to the United States due to extremely favorable conditions. That's exactly the last thing I want.

Sure enough, when there are more people, there is competition. The funds are fixed, and there is no way for everyone to receive them, so in order to get a place, you must go through layers of selection, first written exams, and then actual competitions.

The few places that Blonn left for me before can only guarantee that we can directly pass the written test and participate in the actual battle. But thankfully, I saw that the exam paper was full of horrible questions, such as:

"Please write down all the items that can be crafted from sticks."

"Suppose you encounter a zombie with an enchanted golden helmet, and you use a wooden sword to attack it 10 times before killing it, what is the enchantment attribute of the golden helmet on the zombie's head?"

"How is the slime block calculated?"

This is not the most terrible, the most terrifying is this question:

"If the sun is at an altitude of 78.6 degrees, how many minutes is left until the sunset in MC World?" (2 decimal places for the result)"

Whoever does it wants to vomit blood!

But then we'll have to prepare for a real battle against other players, as usual, in the UHC ultra-extreme mode, with a knockout format where 5,000 players are selected from 120,000 contestants. And only the last 5,000 players are eligible for that kind of aristocratic treatment.

This means that Bu Xin and I have to compete in the arena, and we have to fight for the top 5,000, otherwise this round-trip ticket of nearly 10,000 yuan is a bloody loss!

But so what? With the ability of a few of us, we can definitely rush in, because we are "dragons"!
