Now that Liu Wei has found this place, Alvin doesn't plan to continue to hide it. So he will go from participating in the closed beta, to being in a car accident, to signing up for an artificial intelligence development project, and then to entering the game during the final open beta...... Alvin told Liu Wei all these things.

"How does it feel?" Finally, Alvin asked.

"How's that?"

"I think this story is still a bit creepy." Alvin said.

"I don't think so." Liu Wei shook her head, "But it does feel a little subtle." ”

Alvin: "......"

"Wouldn't someone like you play as a player and it doesn't affect the balance?" Liu Wei asked.

"There are overclocking limitations." Alvin said.

"......" Liu Wei lowered her head and thought for a long time, "So, did you also treat games as your real life from that time?" ”

"So to speak." Alvin nodded.

"......" Liu Wei fell into a long silence again, the two sat opposite each other, each sucking a bowl of steaming noodles, and it took a long time before Liu Wei broke the silence, "The noodles are good." ”

"Well, it's still old." Alvin said, and Liu Wei smiled after hearing this.

"What about the future, what are your plans?" Liu Wei asked.

"What else can I plan, that's all." Alvin said.

"Even when 'settles', you're going to stay in the game?" Liu Wei asked.

Regarding the fate of the characters in the game after the game is closed, it has also undergone a lot of changes over the years. In the beginning, all game data was deleted after the server was turned off. However, it is obvious that many people are emotionally unacceptable to such a processing method, so a second way is derived, which is to save the data in a certain way, which is not costly, and in a sense, it does achieve "eternity", but people also know that the method is actually a kind of comfort, and it is basically impossible for the game that has been shut down to see the light of day again.

In fact, this method has been used for a long time, but except for various scenes and characters that have been recreated in movies and virtual idols, everyone has basically never seen the resurgence of in-game materials. So after a while, a new method was derived, and that was the ability to retain data, and the game continued as an independent world after it was separated from the player, and although it was impossible to see each other again, it was a great comfort to know that the other person was still fine.

But the limitations of this method are obviously greater, as for the problem, of course, the cost is too great, the cost of maintaining a virtual world is not a small number, this money is not willing to be paid by the game company, and the players also do not want to bear it, or cannot afford this expenditure, so plans like this are basically abandoned in the end.

However, these failures also provide lessons for later generations. In recent years, a new way of dealing with it has emerged, which is what Liu Wei calls "settlement". After a few failures, one thought came to the crux of the matter - since there were no more players in the game, why not speed up the time process in the game? This method not only takes care of the player's psychology (the characters in the game are born and die normally, and they live their own lives, not in an instant), but also reduce the time the server occupies, which can be described as the best of both worlds. Of course, there are also some people who are worried about this situation, and they are worried that some virtual characters will gain a huge amount of knowledge over a long period of time, and finally grow into an artificial intelligence that poses a great threat to humanity. However, judging from the previous experience, this possibility is very small, after all, the information in the virtual world is relatively closed, and it is almost impossible for an NPC to grow into a super AI in such an environment.

And the reason for Liu Wei's question is precisely this, she wants to know how Alvin will choose the two worlds at the moment when the two worlds are separated - although Alvin's body is no longer there, but with his financial resources, it is not impossible to continue life in the form of a machine.

"......" Alvin did not speak, but silence was precisely the best answer.

"You're so stupid." Liu Wei said.

Although she said this, Liu Wei was thinking about other things at this time.

- Who is stupid?

Liu Wei has taunted Alvin more than once, and he actually likes a virtual character, although both of them know that this is just a joke, but at this moment, in retrospect, Liu Wei feels particularly ironic. The other party likes a virtual character for their own reasons, but on the other hand, they ......

Many of the other people's choices seem incredible, and only when you are in them will you understand the feeling of being involuntarily. It's like now, Liu Weiming knows that sooner or later the two will be separated forever, but at this moment, it is extremely difficult for her to let go of her inner feelings.

"I suddenly understood something." Liu Wei spoke, "You deliberately delayed the progress of the game, not just to give the Terran more time to prepare! ”

"That's right." Alvin nodded.

"Huh......" Liu Wei let out a sigh of relief, she suddenly found that the time when she knew about this matter seemed to be a little late, at this time the power of the human race was already in full swing, and the final battle was coming, and the distance of this game was already calculated by days.

"Are you really not thinking about it anymore?" The ghost made the god stumble, and Liu Wei asked again.

"......," Alvin paused, "I'm sorry. ”

“…… You don't have to apologize to me. Liu Wei shook her head.

Even if she wants to separate later, this wish can't be realized, to say that Liu Wei is not disappointed at all, it is impossible, but she knows that she can't show it at this time.

"Actually, I've considered taking them back to the real world, but Pangeria's game is a little different." Although he wasn't sure if it made sense, Alvin explained to Liu Wei, "The operation of this game involves a project......

Because of the confidentiality regulations, Alvin couldn't explain all the details to Liu Wei, but, through Alvin's description, Liu Wei roughly knew that Alvin had signed a plan with the game company, when the settlement began, Alvin must be in the game, otherwise it would not only be a matter of liquidated damages, but more importantly, the settlement would be suspended!

"They sent you to monitor the operation of the game world?" Liu Wei asked.

"That's right." Alvin nodded, "There will be people who check the data regularly, but time in reality passes too slowly relative to the time in the game world, so humans need observers who are in sync with the time in the game." ”
