Syllable!

The somewhat ruffian-masked archer placed his longbow on the tavern counter, and the two crooked nuts who were bartenders glared at each other as they took two steps back.

The whole tavern had become extremely unstable, and a figure on the ground was struggling, with a blue nose and a swollen face, trying to get up.

But most people have unbearable pain from a dislocated joint or the fulcrum of the torso that supports the body, and they have no chance to get up and retaliate in a short time.

And the one who started it all pulled over the high chair and sat down there.

If it's not Mu Qian, who else will it be.

"Oh? I felt a familiar aura," the tavernkeeper looked up, and the first thing he saw was the Iron Tire Bow, "Do you want to trade this for a drink?" ”

"Enough to compensate for the loss of your store?" Mu Qian said with a smile.

"Looks like ...... It's not enough ......."

With a few dings, Mu Qian threw a bag of gold coins over, and the tavern owner suddenly laughed and his beard trembled. "It's okay, it's okay, don't care about these little things, it's going to be refreshed in a while anyway."

"Let's talk in a different place, I have something I want to ask you," Mu Qian's voice was a little slurred, but he still said, "If it's convenient for you." ”

"I wouldn't have talked to anyone else, but you're different, and you have the right to talk to me."

The tavern owner pointed to the wooden door over there, which was the place where Mu Qian had been asked to go to the Killing Walker Trial, and several other players had entered, but only one Xiaoxiao Blue Rain had walked out of it, except for Mu Qian.

He also carried two bottles of spirits in his hand, and one NPC ignored the wailing villains around him and walked through the wooden door.

The small wooden door closes, with the angry roars and unwilling eyes of many people, but players who want to get closer to that side, regardless of skin color and nationality, will be pushed away by the light.

Only when Mu Qian disappeared did they dare to bark, which can be regarded as one of their great skills.

"Look at you confused, what's going on?" The tavern owner said with a smile, leaning against his rich cellar.

"Ah," Mu Qian took a bottle of wine and sat down at the barrel that was placed vertically beside him.

The barrel, if you use this to call the tavern owner, is also quite good, at least it is very vivid, and there will be a vivid character image there.

Then Mu Qian and the wine barrel didn't speak for a long time, only Mu Qian was drinking the spirits of the City of Sin.

"You seem like it's been a long time since you've drunk a cup of my blood."

"It's really not as good as that," Mu Qian put the wine bottle at his feet, looked at his left hand, and remembered the final boss he had defeated. Although it's only a technical victory.,And maybe the other party will be an existence characterized as a legal boss.。

The tavernkeeper yawned and asked in a daze, "What the hell is wrong with you, I see a hint of confusion in your determined gaze." ”

"It's just a little confused," Mu Qian took a deep breath, his spirits lifted a little, and he looked up and smiled, with a little more essence in his eyes. "So, to solve these confusions in my heart, I will ask one thing."

"What?"

"The game world, can it affect the real world?"

"Oh? Why do you suddenly have this thought? The tavernkeeper was also stunned, and said with a smile, "This is not like what a thick-lined warrior like you should think." ”

Mu Qian said in a deep voice: "You can answer me, can you influence it, how can it be affected." ”

"If you were to say impact, it would definitely be an impact, and for example, an individual player who has wasted a lot of his time in this virtual world."

Waste, the word used by the tavern owner caught Mu Qian's attention, but he didn't ask much.

The barrel continued to say with a smile: "And you also know that the structure of this virtual world, in order to highlight the sense of epic, will also have a variety of historical background settings, power system settings, and some positive spirits promoted on top of this, such as chivalry and gentlemanly spirit, will of course have an impact on individual players. ”

"Are you still satisfied with my answer?"

Mu Qian lowered his head and pondered, a scene appeared in front of him, and he asked: "I don't mean this, these are not only virtual online games, but also other games and cultural carriers." I mean, intervention...... Yes, intervention! ”

"The game world, can it intervene in the real world?"

"You got it?" The barrel raised an eyebrow.

"Know what?"

"This game world's intervention in the real world," the keg's smile retracted, and he made a treacherous expression again, "Look at you like this, you have learned our secret, and you should consider whether it is time for humane destruction." ”

Mu Qian stood up suddenly, and the mask on his face was automatically lifted because he touched the hidden sword on his back.

"Hahaha! Just kidding, just kidding, seeing that you are so preoccupied, I will cooperate with you to some extent. ”

The tavern owner laughed, kept waving his hands, and two cold sweats hung on his forehead. "I'm an NPC that can't be refreshed, and if I die once, other personality NPCs will appear in my place, don't be impulsive."

"Huh? Will you be afraid of me? ”

"Of course I'm afraid, although you are weak now, the player's immortality is very tricky." The tavern keeper smacked his lips, "Your sentence that you are immortal and can fight ghosts and gods is taboo for us personality NPCs." Just like in reality, the more you know, the more you feel your inadequacy, and the more you fear. This is the second law of personality. ”

"Personality laws, personality NPCs?"

"I thought you already knew, ah, this is a secret project of the development team of the game system and the virtual world."

The tavern owner motioned for him to sit down and talk, and Boss Mu also sat down honestly. The tavern owner didn't seem to want to hide him, and directly told Mu Qian a secret hidden inside the game.

In order to design this virtual world, there are many game companies with intertwined backgrounds of real-world government forces, and almost thousands of scientific research teams that study virtual reality technology.

The game background, humanities and culture, plot story, etc., are entrusted to the special game team to be responsible, although it is a huge but not too difficult topic.

There are five difficult topics: how to exist in the main engine of the game (i.e., the game system), the structure and existence form of the virtual world, the impact of human brainwave access and fading, how to eliminate the subconscious influence of the huge amount of information in the virtual world on human beings, and the digitization of thinking.

And these problems have been overcome one after another, and the wisdom of human beings has to be amazed, but when these problems come to an end, the game system has also successfully awakened and started to run, and the virtual world has been constructed according to the huge program that has been formulated.

When the researchers, as the first experimenters, entered the game world in the game warehouse, which was still extremely expensive at that time, they cheered and boiled, but then fell into an inexplicable emptiness.

Their value is about to be lost, because the game system that is responsible for the normal functioning of the game world can cope with any problem perfectly.

When there is nowhere to put these wisdom and redundant resources, there are three issues that are not recognized by the game company, and the war is quietly started.

The first topic, time acceleration in the game, is a landmark experiment, and Mu Qian has become an experimenter on this key topic.

Although this project proved to be feasible, it was only one player to run a large server at full capacity, and the existing computing power of human beings was not enough to support it, so the project entered the mothballing stage because of the successful completion.

The second topic is the highest achievement of virtual AI, the transition of NPCs from procedural to personalized.

"According to your normal ethical concept of human beings, how to judge whether the virtual AI is self or not depends on whether it can think independently of two questions. One question is 'who am I' and one is 'what is the proof of existence'. ”

"Proof of existence?"

Mu Qian listened like this, and the tight thread in his heart gave a lot.

"Proof of existence, this is proof of my existence," the tavernkeeper smiled and patted the barrels behind him, "I brewed it according to a simple magic." But it doesn't matter, the composition of the mind is from two simple points connected into a line, and when this line exists, it begins to construct complex mental equations until it awakens to a true personality. ”

"I guess I understand."

Mu Qian rubbed his eyebrows and asked again: "Then why, I am in my 'dream'...... I didn't feel so many personality NPCs before, but now I realize that so many NPCs seem to be thinking independently. ”

"It seems that something has changed," the tavernkeeper thought, "but this is all under her control, and neither I nor the old man in the magic tower have this access." But don't worry, you can't really have too many NPCs to think independently, as that would take up a lot of server resources. ”

After a pause, the tavern owner smiled: "Maybe these changes are all related to you." ”

"Something to do with me?"

Mu Qian glanced at his hands.

"Ah, mind you, don't always be so indifferent to NPCs, we also have a sense of existence. That's probably what it means. ”

Meaning of existence......

Mu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What is the third topic?" ”

"God-making."

"God-making?"

"Well, make gods, but this topic was just proposed by a team that was a little idle, and in the end no budget was allocated, so it was closed, because there was no practical meaning."

Mu Qian's heart moved, and he asked, "What god did you create?" ”

"The team of madmen seems to be from Northern Europe, and their general idea is ......"

The game world is a data-based and concrete world, and the NPCs in this world are the situation of the data chain, and the players' thinking is also the situation of the data-based and then embodied situation, so what is the difference between NPCs and players?

From the perspective of the game world itself, players only have their own personality data chains, and NPCs are puppets and puppets, and data chains with various restrictions are imposed, which can be regarded as the 'people' of the game world.

What is the existence of the world, the existence of the people, the system that controls the game world?

God!

When Mu Qian heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he heard his heart pound.

God......

The tavern keeper smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be so surprised, although this theory sounds reliable, which god will be destroyed as soon as the server is closed?" ”

yes, it's essentially just a game.

Mu Qian sat there dejectedly, bowing his head and thinking.

Originally, he came here today because of the recent incident of these NPC essences, which made him feel a little uneasy in his heart.

He is a person who has died once, although he keeps telling himself that he does not believe in the existence of God, but if there is no God, how can he be reborn again?

Essentially, he denies the possibility that 'God' does not exist.

What the tavern owner said, he hadn't thought about? Even if you don't really think about the past, you may have guessed this way subconsciously.

If there is a god in this world, what is the closest thing to God?

It's the game system in the game world......

"I look very comfortable with your reaction, boy, roar haha!"

"If, I say ......if," Mu Qian asked, "this god really exists and reverses time and space with a dead soul...... Is it possible? ”

"Got too much science fiction? According to the law of time, you scientists have essentially denied the possibility of reversing time and space. The tavernkeeper scratched his chin, "How did our conversation get off topic, do you still have any doubts?" I can tell you everything, whatever the problem...... Even if you want to know the color of my panties, I can tell you. ”

"Don't want to know!"

"Yellow."

"Whew!" Mu Qian's stomach churned.
