The area of the conference hall was larger than Li Yeshi had imagined. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

A long table is set up in a room of tens of square meters, and the sides are filled with people.

Li Yeshi sat on the side of the window, his eyes looking around, looking for the girl named Moonlight.

The meeting had not yet begun, and the open doors were still being opened from time to time.

After denying the existence of the moonlight girl in the field, Li Yeshi's eyes stared intently at the gate.

Since she wasn't indoors, she must have not come in yet.

Just in case, he even walked into the venue and asked the staff about whether all the beta testers would be there for the conference.

After receiving an affirmative answer, his confidence grew.

As the time between the official start of the meeting grew shorter and shorter, his body temperature gradually increased.

His mood at the moment is like a little girl who is about to meet netizens, excited and nervous.

"Please, come quickly."

Li Yeshi held his chin and began to pray non-stop.

What an innocent boy.

"So, now that everyone is here, let's start today's meeting."

The host's sudden voice made Li Yeshi panic for a while.

That's it?

But she didn't come?

The staff member at the door nodded and closed the door.

Li Yeshi wanted to stand up and ask a question, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do so.

Because he found that there were many closed beta players like him around him, and there was also a commotion.

Didn't their in-game companion show up either? What the hell is going on?

"Okay, okay, please be quiet, I know you may have a lot of questions now, but please don't be impatient for now, when our chief game designer arrives, he will naturally answer them for you one by one."

The moderator bowed as he spoke, then slowly retreated to the side of the long table.

The chair of the long table is still unoccupied, so it must have been reserved for the 'chief designer' mentioned earlier.

But it was clear that the chief designer was still on his way. So everyone was speechless and could only wait silently.

"Squeak-"

"I'm sorry, something happened on the way."

The dead silence of the hall was broken by the shrill sound of the door, followed by a calm, magnetic sound.

Hearing this familiar male voice, Li Yeshi's nerves instantly tensed.

"It's him!"

Li Yeshi looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a white coat with glasses standing in front of the room.

This is the mysterious man who once explained to him the power of the Origin!

The designer also seemed to feel Li Yeshi's burning gaze, so he glanced back at him flatly.

The man straightened his clothes and sat down without too much nonsense.

"Hello players, I'm the chief designer of this game, you can call me Kotojuro." He glanced around and threw out a succinct introduction of himself.

"I know a lot of you have some questions you want to ask me, and they're probably trying to convey the same thing." He looked at the faces of the players present who were speechless and said slowly.

All eyes were on him, expecting his reply.

Especially Xia is weak.

"We've made it clear before that all of our players are here today who participated in the closed beta, right?" Kotojuro looked at everyone and asked.

The players nodded.

"But it seems that in your eyes, some of your in-game friends didn't make it, right?"

The players nodded harder.

"And you'd love to see them in real life, right?"

The players nodded their heads almost feverishly, agreeing to the point of no more.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Kotojuro pressed down with both hands, signaling the players to calm down.

"If the people in the tech department could see how the players reacted now, I think they would be happy too." Kotojuro's face was still serious when he said this, as if he never smiled.

Technical Department?

What do you mean?

Li Yeshi chewed the meaning of this sentence carefully, and always felt that the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.

"But unfortunately, I would like to reveal one fact to you now." Kotojuro stood up, his gaze sweeping over all the players with uneasy faces again.

"The so-called friends in your game, they are actually our company's AI." Kotojuro said slowly.

Although it was Furui's tone, it conveyed an explosive message.

When the words fell, everyone was silent and stunned.

Then, in the next moment, a commotion erupted in the entire conference room.

Kotojuro's lifeless words were like a hammer, shattering the illusions of everyone present.

"What did you say!" A grumpy player stood up, pointed his finger at Kotojuro and roared, "I've been dating Megumi for so long, and now you tell me she's a fake!" ”

"I didn't say that, AI is alive too." Kotojuro looked at the man coldly, "At least, your memories are still true." ”

"You!" The man pointed at Kotojuro in a puffed up, unable to speak.

"Designer."

A calm voice suddenly rang out in the conference room.

Everyone turned their attention to the source of the voice, which was Li Yeshi.

"I want to ask you a question."

Li Yeshi's face was solemn and his tone was calm.

When Kotojuro saw that it was him, he didn't embellish it with too many words, nodded directly, and motioned for him to speak.

"Those AIs, will they ever come back?"

Li Yeshi stared at Kotojuro, and his tone was almost forced.

This question also seemed to express the hearts of all the players present, and I saw that those players also stared at Qin Shiro with Li Yeshi, waiting for the answer to the question.

Kotojuro looked at him with interest, "That's an interesting question. ”

"But I can't answer you directly, the answer to this question is up to you to find out for yourselves." As he spoke, he spread his hands and threw out a sentence.

"But I can tell you something." When Kotojuro glanced at Li Ye, who was determined, "All the AI used in the α test will be recycled by us and readded to some important NPCs to improve their intelligence. ”

"So, if any of you are still looking forward to reuniting with your friends, try your luck with the NPCs." Kotojuro looked at the wonderful expressions of the players present, and couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed.

For a while, the players who heard this ignited the fire in their hearts again. At least, that's a hope for them.

"However, there is a premise I want to say here." Kotojuro's originally relaxed tone suddenly changed back to normal lifelessness at this time.

Feeling the sudden switch in tone, the nerves of the players present, who had been slightly relaxed, also tensed again.

"Because we're going to reset the AI after we recycle it, so don't expect them to keep the good memories you once had, just think it's a dream."

This last sentence was like a winter rain, instantly extinguishing the only remaining flame of hope for all players.

Even Li Yeshi is no exception.

Now, like those players, he stared at Kotojuro blankly, not saying a word.

Maybe it's because the game company's AI is too real, or maybe it's because they're too emotional.

The scene that is playing out in their minds at this moment is probably like witnessing their best friends and lovers die before their eyes.
