Chapter 360: This Must Be a Fake NPC, Right? (2-in-1)

Xu Jing set the character name to a hidden state, and then devoted himself to learning.

Time flies, and a day passes in the blink of an eye.

This day was very pleasant for Xu Jing, not only did he make up for a large number of movies he hadn't watched, but he could also gain experience in improving his authority, and at the same time, he gradually began to understand Halliday's hobbies.

But for Wade, this day was torment, he felt very painful in every class, and at the end of the day, it was as if a year had passed, and finally waited for the end of school, watching the students around him leave or disappear directly from their seats, and he had to hold back until he was the only one left in the empty classroom.

"Oh!"

He finally let out a cheer and rushed out of the classroom door and ran to the hall on the first floor.

Xu Jing stopped studying as early as the school bell rang, waited for Wade, and after seeing the other party appear, he immediately said seriously: "Since you came as agreed, then let's make an agreement." ”

As soon as the words fell, Wade received a prompt message: "Ultron's request." ”

His heart almost jumped out at this moment, Ultron?

Shouldn't this be in the superhero world of Zone 3? How did you run here?

And how is this Ultron different from the one in the movie?

Wade's heart was full of questions, the entire Lutus more than 1,000 schools are all the same low-level NPCs, but their school has a high-level NPC with a name and a surname and can issue tasks, but he feels that no matter whether this Ultron is that Ultron or not, there must be something wrong with this.

Hidden mission for sure!

He was so excited that he looked at the content of the mission - to guide and accompany Ultron to play the game, five hours, reward: 1000 gold coins.

“……”

Wade was stunned.

This is too far from the hidden mission he imagined, no matter how you look at it, it is an ordinary mission.

However, the task did not seem to be difficult, and the reward of a thousand gold coins was a huge amount of money for him, converted into dollars, which was enough for a hundred dollars, which was comparable to his income for a few days of repairing a computer, and it was also a game for five hours.

If you look at it this way, the rewards are very generous, considering that in today's real world, the unemployment rate has repeatedly reached new highs, and the fast food restaurants in the community are facing job applications that take two years to process.

This should be a precursor to the hidden task, for sure.

He kept guessing, and without hesitation, he took the task: "I'm willing to serve you." ”

"Good."

Xu Jing was satisfied, he spent a day, the authority was upgraded to the third level, in addition to the further expansion of the scope of activities, he also has the function of issuing ordinary tasks, but this reward has to be paid by himself, and it can't be set too low.

The task he posted required a minimum of five hundred gold coins, but he deliberately raised it to one thousand.

If Wade is the protagonist as he thinks he is, then the investment is definitely worth it.

Maybe we'll find out soon.

Xu Jing opened a separate "chat room" in the afternoon.

A chat room in an oasis is not a web page, but a building or room created like a school, and the larger the space, the higher the fee.

Anyone who buys a chat room can decorate it however they want, use whatever they want, transform it however they want, and just have an idea.

Xu Jing's chat room is very simple, just a room of about 50 square meters, with a comfortable large sofa in the room, a large-screen TV in front of the sofa, and a Xiaobawang game console connected to the TV.

In addition, the shelves against the wall are filled with game cartridges, audio and video tapes, and discs, which are the embodiment of the movies and television series he has purchased.

There is also an arcade machine in the room, so he can switch between any arcade games he wants, and there is also a jukebox next to it, which is playing the classic song "Wild Child" by the band Duran at the moment.

"Wow!"

Wade was granted access to the chat room, and after condensing his body in the room, he suddenly let out an exclamation, his eyes lit up, and he walked around the room excitedly.

Xu Jing was very satisfied with Wade's reaction, only those who are truly committed will pour their love into what Halliday likes, and the other party's performance is exactly like this.

In addition, perhaps Wade's preconceived notions overlooked an important issue, which was that chat rooms could only be set up by players.

Xu Jing naturally didn't wake up Wade, and he didn't bother the other party, anyway, it wasn't bad for this time.

Wade seemed to love everything on the shelf, he really liked everything here, and since he found his dream, he has been hopelessly obsessed with it, even if his grades are a mess.

Halliday's taste was not clear, he listened to everything, so he was, pop, rock, new wave, punk, heavy metal, he accepted them all, and even memorized all the lyrics he listened to word for word.

In order to win the competition, he read every movie and TV series he had watched, and he had collected every comic, so he often tossed and turned until midnight, until he ran out of gas and ran out of gas before going to sleep.

When it comes to putting his heart and soul into the game, he is unmatched, especially when it comes to the game.

Wade found himself with an unparalleled talent for gaming, classic arcade, home computer, console, handheld, text adventure, first-person shooter, third-person role-playing, eight-bit, sixteen-bit, and thirty-two-bit consoles of the last century, and the harder the game, the more enjoyable he was.

Most action games he mastered in just a few hours, and RPGs were a breeze, and he never had to tread or cheat.

Even if he is now in the oasis, although he has not officially started his hunter career, he believes that when he walks out of Ludes, his name will be known to everyone like Edge, no, he will be even more famous than Edge.

Ten years of sharpening a sword, once trying the edge.

Wade believes that he will be the first to reach the top of the standings in the future.

After a visit, he remembered his task and began to enter the teaching state, directly picked a few boxes of game cartridges from the shelf, sat down on the sofa, and then inserted the cartridges into the game console, and said, "I'll start teaching you from a two-player game." ”

"Okay."

Xu Jing looked at the screen, the game he was playing was Contra, he had played it a few times in his previous life, but he was not proficient in it.

In the competition for Halliday's easter eggs, especially in the game, his shortcomings are obvious.

"This game can be adjusted, the password is up and down, left and right, left and right, BABA, after the adjustment, there are 30 lives......"

Wade is very conscientious, the whole teaching that should be taught, anyway, these games have the most perfect strategy on the Internet, and he is not afraid of competition, in a fair environment, whether the game can be played well, it is not enough to have a strategy alone, it depends on talent.

Xu Jing found a guide on the Internet, and silently listened to Wade's explanation, where there will be food props, what kind of enemies will be, and how to fight each level, he memorized all the scenes exactly one by one.

Wade played like a textbook, never died until he cleared the level, and then said: "You should have memorized it all, as long as you practice a few more times, you will soon become familiar with the mastery." ”

He knows that NPCs are all artificial intelligence, they can remember what they see visually, and they have a strong learning ability.

"I think I've learned and mastered it."

Xu Jing picked up the controller and started playing the game again.

Since he was at the first level of the Divine Soul, he has entered the stage of subtle control over his body, and the current Oasis World is real to him, and the body at this time is equivalent to a real body with artificial intelligence talent, combined with the Divine Soul, he feels that even if it is the first time to play, as long as the consciousness is reached, reasonable manipulation can be achieved, and he will never lag behind.

Sure enough, once he was familiar with shooting, jumping, and lying down, he was running like a perfect machine.

Wade had a smile on his face, and he didn't think much of what Xu Jinggang said, but soon, his expression changed, he couldn't believe it, and said in surprise: "You really just learned this?" ”

"yes." Xu Jing also cleared the customs with one life, "Okay, let's change to the next game." ”

Wade was suspicious in his heart, changed the cassette, this time it was a double dragon, and he only taught it once, and then he watched Xu Jing master the game.

Then he tried the Tomahawk, the Thunderbolt, the Great Chaos, and the Fury......

He taught each of them once, and Xu Jing was equally proficient after reading it.

Wade was shocked in his heart, although he had expected that NPCs had strong learning ability, but he didn't expect it to be so strong, this must be a very advanced AI, right?

Unconvinced, he stood up, sat down in front of the arcade, and said, "Let's change our tastes and play some battle games." ”

"Okay." Xu Jing threw down the handle and sat down in front of the arcade, "What are you playing?" ”

"The battle for the eggs." Wade said.

Xu Jing's heart moved, and the arcade machine became the corresponding picture, he threw two game coins, held the joystick and said, "How to play this?" ”

"It's simple." Wade gushed.

In the Battle of the Eggs two-player mode, each player controls a knight with a spear, the main player rides an ostrich, and the secondary player rides a crane, and the player has to control the characters not only to attack each other, but also to deal with computer-generated enemies.

The computer is a vulture knight, and when killed, it turns into a green egg, and if it is not blown up, the computer will emerge from the egg, and sometimes, a full-screen attacking pterodactyl will suddenly appear in the game.

Every time a player dies, their lives drop by one square, and whoever loses their last life first loses.

Wade had been playing this with Aitch some time ago, and at first he was mistreated by Aitch, but after going back to practice with the computer dozens of times a day, he has now abused Aitch to the point and vowed never to play this with him again.

At this moment, when he faced Xu Jing, he was more unconvinced, knowing that every time he was proficient in a game, it would take at least a few hours, and some even longer.

Without contrast, there is no harm, and he feels very devastated in his heart.

Fortunately, NPCs will not participate in easter egg competition, otherwise the player will be too disadvantaged in terms of learning.

Wade refused to admit defeat, even if he guessed that Xu Jing was a high-level AI, he would win, and he believed that there was no invincible AI.

Especially in games like the Battle of the Birds' Eggs, because the program will not improve, the current AI still does not have the real ability to think, and the improvisation is based on the predictability of the calculation program, and it is absolutely impossible to predict some of his unexpected actions, and the opponent's every move seems to be perfect, but there must be traces to follow.

This is the truth of video games, at least until humans create artificial intelligence in the true sense of the word, absolutely true.

Xu Jing could feel Wade's competitiveness, but he didn't care, but was a little happy in his heart, from Wade's superb game level, he felt more and more that the other party was the protagonist, and there was such a powerful master to take him to play games, and it was much faster to learn than he was to explore it himself.

"Let's get started!"

Wade's expression was solemn and he looked very serious.

Xu Jing also concentrated his attention and started the game.

A few minutes ago, Wade didn't forget that he was teaching, and he didn't come up to deal with Xu Jing, and after Xu Jing became familiar with the operation, the two sides began a formal battle.

As soon as Xu Jing got started, he quickly entered the state, although he had not played this game, but the advantage was still obvious.

Divine soul plus the advantage of artificial intelligence, under the operation of "dual core", you can calculate all kinds of results when you see the screen, each attack is extremely accurate, dodge or retreat without delay, and the trajectory is flawless.

However, Wade is also worthy of being a master of the game, with his talent, he can actually keep up with Xu Jing's rhythm, and his reaction is unexpected, which makes Xu Jing's several attacks fruitless, and he also lays a trap to counter-kill.

But unfortunately, Xu Jing is not a real AI, he also reacts quickly, and the actions he makes are also unexpected by Wade, and sometimes even completely unexpected.

Wade didn't have time to think, he had already died once, and he was at a disadvantage in this competition, but it also stimulated his desire to win, and the operation became sharper.

The two sides went back and forth, locked in a stalemate, and as time went on, more and more vultures appeared on the screen, forcing the characters they controlled to flee in all directions.

The more Wade played, the more surprised he became, he couldn't believe what he saw, the reason why he was confident that he could win Xu Jing was because he saw that the AI could not predict his unexpected movements, but after playing this game, he found that he was very wrong.

Is this really an NPC?

He even suspects that the person playing the game with him is a human with AI capabilities, or artificial intelligence in the true sense of the word.

It's horrible.

Fake, this must be fake, right?

Wade could feel the sweat running down the edge of his mask and on his forehead in reality, and he resisted the urge to wipe his face, and he became more and more careless.

He didn't want to lose, he was very unconvinced, frantically slapping the buttons and shaking the joystick, but in fact he was just dying.

Soon, his character first came to the end of his life, being besieged and exploded by a bunch of vultures.

I lost.

Wade turned his head and stared at Xu Jing deadly, because he had been practicing a lot recently, and his hands were hot, even Aiqi was going to be abused by him, but here, he lost to an NPC who had just learned to play for the first time.

"You ......"

He had a lot of questions in his mind, but he didn't know how to ask.

Do you want to ask if the NPC in front of you is a real NPC?

He thought about it and felt that this question was idiotic, how could the other party issue the task if it weren't for the NPC.

"You're amazing." Xu Jing affirmed: "It's only worse than me, but I still have a lot to learn from you, let's continue." ”

"......" Wade.

The character he controlled wiped his face with his sleeve, and in reality he was already sweating profusely.

Xu Jing asked, "What do you learn next?" ”

"Street Fighter." Wade is still a little unrelenting.

……

Five hours later.

Xu Jing put down the handle, patted Wade's shoulder and said, "Thank you, I have gained a lot today." ”

“……”

Wade looked depressed, he had already received a thousand oasis points reward, and he had also gained a lot of experience, and he had been promoted two levels in a row, but he was not happy at all in his heart, but he was a little suspicious of life.

"Will you come back after school tomorrow?"

Xu Jing looked forward to it, through today's study, he verified his strength and found a faster way to learn, as long as he watched Wade play once, he could even find a video directly on the Internet to watch, as for the battle class, it was still better to have a master sparring partner.

As long as he continues like this, it won't be long before he becomes proficient in all the games.

Wade took a deep breath and asked, "Can I bring a friend here?" He's also a master. ”

"Yes." Xu Jing couldn't wait, took out a blank permission file to enter the chat room, and handed it over, "But I won't pay more." ”

"No problem." Wade took it and finally smiled, "See you tomorrow." ”

He decided to bring Aitch tomorrow as a good friend, and this kind of good thing that can play the game, improve the level, and get Oasis points and experience rewards must be shared with Aitch.
