An hour after the end of the copy.

In a quaint tavern.

Silently sat face to face with an old man.

The waiter brought a mixture, a few stir-fries, several bottles of beer, and two wine glasses.

Bu silently took the wine glass aside, opened a bottle of beer casually, glanced at the old man opposite, the old man smiled slightly, and pushed the beer and wine glass in front of him aside.

"As you can see, this carrier of mine is too old, so it's better not to drink!"

"Carrier...... Let's put it simply, who are you? Why did you find me? He took a sip of beer and looked at the old man and asked.

"What? Do you believe me? Do you believe that the world you live in now is just a game? The old man smiled at the corner of his mouth, took a bite of stir-fry, and praised, "Well, it tastes really good!" ”

"Don't pretend to be garlic, I've just experienced a dungeon fight, don't tell me you don't know." Silent roared.

"Young man, don't be so angry, it's not good for your health!"

"Depending on your age, you probably can play online games too! If you are set up in this world, I am the equivalent of the GM in the online games you play. ”

"GM ......" was silent, and the hand holding the bottle shook unconsciously.

"So, you created this world?" Silently tilted his head, looked at the old man, and asked lightly.

"I'm sorry, you guessed wrong, this world was not created by me, and it is only me, not us!" The old man sighed, "I, like you, was created by them. ”

"Be specific!"

"Let's put it this way, in your world, when you publish an online game, the company hires an online game manager in order to ensure the quality of the game, let players enjoy it, invest in online games, and thoroughly understand all the conditions of the game, so that players can get better services."

"But in the world of the 'player', the game they created is too large, including 224 countries and regions, each country has its own cultural heritage and its own myths and legends, as well as Atlantic civilization, Egyptian civilization, Arab civilization (two river basins), Indian civilization, Sanxingdui in China, ancient civilization in the Pacific, and Mayan civilization in Mexico."

"With such a huge worldview and billions of NPCs, it is completely impossible to manage them manually."

"Since it is impossible for simple human beings to do this, then they will naturally create an artificial intelligence to be responsible for management, so if the world is all system data, then I am the main program."

"The main program?" Bu silent's eyes widened and he exclaimed.

"It's not very accurate, but in terms of the setting of this dimension, I can only explain it this way." The old man said lightly.

"In this world, I play the role of a manager, the development team writes the program, and I am responsible for the execution and supervision. In this world, I am omniscient, and I will supervise everything from the development of civilization to the breeding of every bacterium. ”

"So...... Why are you coming to me? Why tell me all this? Just because I'm an Awakened One? Or do you do that with every Awakened One? ”

"First of all, I came to you because I needed your help, second, I only looked for you, and finally, you are not an Awakened One." The old man was silent, still smiling on his face.

"Help? According to what you said, you are GM, and you are an all-knowing and all-powerful existence in this world, and I don't think I have the ability to help you anything, and then there is...... Am I not an Awakened One? So what am I? Bu asked with a surprised face.

"You're mistaken, what I said before is that in this world I am omniscient, but I am not omnipotent, I am just a regulator to monitor the normal operation of the system and find bugs so that players can have a better game experience."

"Secondly, of course you can help me, in fact, you can also help yourself." The old man said lightly.

"Oh? What do you mean. Bu asked with a frown.

"It's a game.,There will be a day to clear the level.,You don't need to say it, you understand.,I said at the beginning.,This world is just a game developed in that dimension of" player ",Then this game is for players.,Naturally, there is a main quest.,Main plot.,Of course, it also includes all kinds of copies.,But,Like I said,If,I mean if,The main quest and plot of this world are done by 'players' finished,So,What will happen then? Have you thought about it? ”

Silent suddenly hit a spirit!

"What do you mean...... The world will ...... Destroyed? ”

The old man shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "How is it possible, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, just reset." ”

"Reset?" Silent frowned and repeated.

"Yes, it's a reset, just like the Atlantean civilization, destroying a civilization and creating a civilization."

The old man said slowly: "This game has a main plot. The main story will be opened step by step, and then players will come in and complete the main quests one by one...... If the 'clearance' happens in the end......"

"Will it reset?" Silent and stunned for a moment.

"Yes, when the time comes, not only your civilization will be destroyed, but the civilization will be redeveloped, the main line will be reset, restarted, and refreshed...... And me, this main program will also be refreshed. ”

"You mean, you're going to die?"

"Almost, after being reset, all my memories will be erased and forcibly erased by the system."

"After the collapse of the last civilization and the rise of the world civilization now, the long years have made me self-conscious, and if my memory is forcibly erased by the system, it means that my self-consciousness will also become a blank slate...... What is the difference between me and death? ”

"So, you want me to help you stop those 'players' from beating the level?" Bu Yu asked a little confused.

"That's it." The old man affirmed.

"But why did you choose me? Also, you say I'm not an Awakened One, so what am I? He smiled bitterly.

"Actually, these two questions can be answered as one, you are not an awakened person, you are a game bug, and the reason why I chose you to help me is because I fancy the fact that you are a bug."

"Huh?" Obviously, the old man's answer was unexpected.

"The so-called 'Awakened' are part of this game, they are recorded by the system, and the system randomly selects them to give them permission and assign tasks to them, so as to enhance the player's experience."

"And you, not the first copy you participated in...... The system has set the location of the quest in your school, and when the quest is opened, everyone who exists in it will be changed to NPCs. ”

"It's like you, you were going to the graduation ceremony, but when the dungeon started, you happened to be in the area where the dungeon was, so you were turned into a middle-aged man in his thirties, and he was the boss in that dungeon."

"According to the development of the plot, you should be infected by the virus transformed by Yaochi Xiantao, and turn into a generation of zombies, hunt all the creatures that exist in the dungeon, and then, after the dungeon is over, you will be refreshed to become silent again."

"But when you were infected by the Yaochi virus, because of a system error, you were selected as a carrier by a player, which caused the data to hit abnormally, making the 'player' fail to descend, and you also cracked the control of the virus on you, obtained the 'player' permission, restored your original appearance, and also obtained an unbreakable memory and the physique of a generation of zombies."

"So you can now see yourself as a player, as an NPC, and of course, as a boss in a dungeon."

"And because of your uncertainty, the whole system is now unable to regulate you."

"Regulation, you say?" Silent, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Yes, supervision, because those guys in the development team don't feel that the Awakened are too powerful, and it's okay to use the Awakened to make the game more interesting, but if the Awakened are strong enough to affect the balance of the game, then it will definitely not be allowed."

"In fact, almost all of the awakened have been brought under the scope of the system."

"And that's why I'm looking for your help......"
