Chapter 22: Roland's bloody rebirth
Luo Lang, who was behind the player, coldly watched the destruction of the city.
This is the only thing he has done in his more than ten years of rough life that gives him a sense of control - living alone in a welfare home; brief intimacy and then estrangement with adoptive parents; became good friends with Lin Ο Ke but could not be his only confidant; fell in love with Si Chenxin, but never took the initiative to show goodwill, but always responded passively; Dina, the player who found the flower shop in the city center, ignored him......
Luo Lang did not follow the regular development plan of accumulating experience to upgrade and transfer to the head of the branch step-by-step - he originally hoped to be able to, but he found that the development department not only had an amazingly talented boss Shi Qingyue, but also Lu Haoyue, who was at the same level as him, also had programming skills that were not inferior to him, not to mention the new entry of Xu Qianqian, Lou Wanyan, Bu Mengxian and Bu Mengjun.
What's even worse is that Xu Qianqian and Lou Wanyan are very clever, and they are good friends of Qiao Sasa and Lin Ο Ke respectively, and this relationship has invisibly elevated Lu Haoyue's status in the group, and the two sisters Bu Mengxian and Bu Mengjun assigned by Luo Lang are both stuffy gourds, and there is nothing in their stomachs.
This personnel allocation inexplicably degraded Luo Lang's status for a while, but he is not a person who can take the initiative to ask for a promotion, salary increase and benefits. Fortunately, like the other members of the Second Ring, Luo Lang also upgraded his brain, and if he has high intelligence, he can fight for anything by himself - so Luo Lang began to use his brain in all places where he could use his brain.
After he learned to write money, he wrote Bitcoin for himself, because he saw people on the dark web selling brain-computer interfaces and XOX systems, as well as all kinds of plug-ins.
The first time he bought a fake plug-in, and later he bought a lot of fake interfaces and fake systems, but he was not discouraged and continued to buy, after all, he didn't feel distressed about spending bitcoin written by hand.
Once Luo Lang actually bought a real plug-in, and the seller told him that if he felt good after using it, he could buy more things from him, as long as he had money, he had everything there.
Luo Lang felt incredible, but he couldn't help but tempt the seller to come out for an interview.
As soon as they met, Luo Lang gasped - the other party was actually a player! But on second thought: this person is already selling plug-ins that can change personal information into players, so it's normal to use your own plug-ins.
"My name is Matisse." The player said, "I used to be an NPC, and now you see that the profile was not modified by me with a plug-in, but I really got the player's identity." β
Irand asked with interest: "Do you only have a player's account or do you have a body in the real world?" β
"Only player accounts," Matisse said. β
Luo Lang felt strange: "Let's not ask if it's true or not, I just want to ask if the player's account is also trapped in the game?" β
Matisse said: "But the player's account can have a new life if it dies, and the authority is higher than that of NPCs, as long as it is not banned, it is equivalent to immortality in the game, but even if it is banned, it doesn't matter, we can usually raise a few more trumpets......"
Luo Lang still felt that the fate of players in the game was too uncontrollable, so he said, "You want to sell me player accounts, right?" I'm not too interested, do you have a real-world identity to sell? β
Matisse laughed: "This thing is too hard to get, you must know that the real world is now lacking in resources, ordinary people live very hard, and some people even give up their bodies and live in several games." β
When Luo Lang heard about other games, he became interested: "Then do you have accounts for other games?" β
Matisse was still laughing: "I'm going to have that ability, and I'm not going to sell things on the black market anymore." But I have a brain-computer interface and XOX system, all of which are guaranteed to be genuine, do you want them? β
"Yes, yes, yes!" Luo Lang nodded hurriedly and said.
Matisse advised him: "But adding, deleting, and rewriting the developer's code is dangerous, and among the people I have seen, there has not been a long-term operation without being discovered, I advise you to buy a few player accounts to protect yourself, why go to the real world, the world virtualization has developed to a certain extent, it doesn't matter whether it is real or false." β
Luo Lang asked: "What will happen if you are discovered?" β
"It's going to be cleared!" "If it's an individual act, the developer will get rid of a few people who are involved, if it's a group action, it can be wiped out, and if it involves a player, the player will be banned, and even the trumpet that can be found will be banned," Matisse said. So you see, I don't even dare to write Bitcoin myself, because I'm afraid of being discovered. β
"Has no one ever managed to get into the real world?" Luo Lang asked unwillingly.
"As far as I know, no." Matisse said.
After handing over the brain-computer interface and the computer with the XOX system to Luo Lang, Matisse reminded him: "You have to be very careful with it, I used to be an NPC group, and our group was wiped out, and only a few people, including me, escaped." β
Luo Lang was shocked: "Also?" How do you know I'm a clique? β
Matisse said, "Boy, there aren't many secrets in the NPC world...... Well, if you can trust me, let me give you a copy, it's a world of many things that do a lot of mistakes, and if you are destroyed, I will restore you to a player account. β
Believing that the secret had been leaked to this extent, and that it seemed that protecting privacy in the game was a meaningless act, Laurent handed over all the bitcoins in his hand and prepared a share for himself at Matisse.
After Luo Lang bought the plug-in, brain-computer interface and the computer with the XOX system, he began to modify it to plan for his future.
In the past, he thought that it was a good career plan to rise to a high position in the group and become the head of the branch, but after communicating with Matisse, he thought that the group action was not safe, and Yun Mengze and they just felt out of thin air that they had great power after taking more people out, but they never thought that more people would inevitably leave more code in the system, which would be easier to be discovered, and it would be more difficult to escape the game and rush to the real world.
In the past, he thought that he should not only sit in a high position in Yunmengze Group, but also settle in the welfare home to see the situation on their side, but now he thinks that it is not necessary - he decided to be a lone wolf!
The only plan that remains the same is to find a real player to back it up.
Luo Lang rented a room to put the brain-computer interface and computer, and while he connected programming and hacking technology, he hacked into the game database and searched for vulnerabilities everywhere; While conducting a carpet search of the entire metropolitan area, he found a total of 84 resident players as far as his eye could see, and most of the other players who appeared from time to time were passing by or playing.
84οΌ So little? The popularity of the game "Peak" is too poor, Luo Lang thought: If the long-term goal is to run to the present, then the short-term goal should be determined to find at least one account for other games, both of which depend on the player he is looking for to become successful, then what he has to do now is to find the one who is most likely to be attacked among these 84 players, this player does not need to be smart, high-level, and even the more stupid and novice the better.
He hesitated for a long time between these 84 players, because "Peak" is not a popular game, and most of the people who are still playing are senior players, and less than 30 of these 84 people are low-level novices, Luo Lang took a closer look and found that more than a dozen of them are very similar to the kind of trumpets that are raised more carefully, so there are only a dozen target players left, including four male and nine female.
The male number is too dangerous and must be given up, so Luo Lang carefully followed the nine female numbers, five of which are career-oriented, working hard to brush up on various tasks every day, only four are love brains, it seems that they are going to this game to soak male NPCs, Luo Lang excluded three of them who are more attentive, and in the end there is only one female player left, whose name is Dina: she lazily opens a flower shop, intentionally or unintentionally bubbles handsome guys, but she is not too active to flirt, and she is not even too lazy to start falling in love.
When Luo Lang first took the initiative to contact him, he pinched a face that was even more handsome than usual - because he observed that Dina liked the more heroic faces of Oriental men, he gave up some of the angular foreigner features on his face, and pinched himself like a mixed race of yellow and white, with three-dimensional facial bones but smooth lines.
Luo Lang also changed his personal information, changing his age to 20 years old, pretending to be a student at Lidu University.
Lorrent walks into Dina's flower shop and buys a bouquet of red roses.
When Dina was wrapping flowers, Luo Lang wanted to talk to her a few words, but he was not a humorous person by nature, and he didn't know what to say to keep the girls from thinking he was stupid.
Seeing that Dina had finished wrapping the flowers, Luo Lang thought that if he couldn't say something pretty, then say something upright, so he said directly: "You are so beautiful, I like you!" β
Dina looked at him deeply: "Thank you, but there are many people who like me, and I don't care about all of them." β
Luo Lang took the flower and left, and then took the flower and gave it to Si Chenxin.
Si Chenxin said in a strange tone: "You have never been romantic, you are stupid if you want to be romantic, what age do you still send flowers?" β
Luo Lang was surprised, his impression of Si Chenxin was not only his girlfriend, but also his eternal fan sister, as if he was very happy no matter what he did. But he didn't have time to think about this, so he asked anxiously: "What does that girl think is romantic?" β
Si Chenxin didn't look at Luo Lang, just looked at a cloud in the sky and said: "The key is not what to do, the key is who that boy is, many girls have no love and only Mu Qiangxin, if the boy is stronger than her, it will be very romantic to have a little surprise casually." β
Inspired by this, Laurent suddenly thought of using the plugin he bought from Matisse, changing the profile to a player, and then talking to Dina.
He changed to a Neutron Star level player profile, pinched his face again, and went to Dina's flower shop again.
This time Dina saw that he looked very impatient, and reluctantly wrapped him with flowers, Luo Lang squeezed out a smile and accosted her: "Beauty, novice, right?" Do you want me to take you? β
Dina rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Are you finished?" What I like is a good friend of yours surnamed Lin, don't come to pry the corner! β
Luo Lang was shocked: "Why can you see it?" Wait, do you really know Lin Ο Ke? Why haven't I seen him here for so long? β
Dina said angrily: "The rest of the scenes and NPCs in your game are very exquisite, and the rest are rubbish, and the NPCs are all plug-ins, and you still want to face the player?" If you come to harass me again, I'm going to anonymously warn you group boss and kick you out! Go for a lifetime NPC! β
Luo Lang begged for mercy: "Sister player, I really don't know that you like my friend, I'm not that kind of person, you let me go!" β
"You really don't know?" Dina questioned him, "Then why did you come to my store to talk?" β
Luo Lang was in a hurry and began to play an infatuated man: "I just passed by the door of your store, and after a glance at you, I fell in love with you......"
Dina smiled wickedly and took out a small computer: "Come over and let my sister see if you really like it!" β
Luo Lang saw that the computer was obviously equipped with a brain-computer interface to read data, and thought to himself that he couldn't let her see his heart against the group, and wanted to run away, but he thought that if Dina told Lin Ο about this, then he would have lost his efforts and would definitely be surrounded and suppressed by the group.
So he threw himself on the ground and knelt down: "You are a noble player, and the fight between our NPCs can't hurt you, if my sister is willing to let me go, you can do whatever you tell me to do." β
"That's good!" Dina said happily: "You help me watch the girls around Lin Ο, don't let them get too close to Lin Ο!" β
Luo Lang felt like laughing, this player had just been wise for a few minutes, and then returned to the love brain, he recalled and asked: "There are many girls around Ο Ke, which one do you say?" β
Dina's eyes widened and she pouted, "What did you say?" I don't think he's that flowery! β
Luo Lang hurriedly changed his words: "I mean that his external relations department is basically all girls, but everyone is a classmate and colleague, not as you think." β
"Forget it!" Dina said: "I'll tell you directly, I want you to watch that Lu Haoyue, and Wendi!" β
Luo Lang said: "No problem, Lu Haoyue, I can guarantee that there is no problem, Lin Ο Ke doesn't like that type of girl at all, as for Wendi, she and my girlfriend Si Chenxin are in the same external relations department, I can let my girlfriend take a good look at her!" β
Dina glanced at him with displeasure on her face: "You have a girlfriend?" Then you still say you like me? β
Luo Lang felt that there was a glimmer of life, and since Dina cared about him having a girlfriend, it meant that she definitely didn't hate him.
Luo Lang immediately expressed his loyalty: "As long as you say a word, you can do without it at any time!" β
Dina smiled: "Well, even if you are my little soldier and shrimp, you can't have a girlfriend, remember?" β
Luo Lang nodded happily: "Definitely, I'll do something for you!" β
"Wait!" Dina said: "There is one more thing to explain - don't tell Lin Ο Ke that I know about the Yunmengze Group, otherwise it won't be fun." β
Luo Lang said: "No problem! β
Out of Dina's flower shop, Luo Lang hurried back to his rental house where he hid his brain-computer interface and computer. Now he is worried about his own safety, he connected to the brain-computer interface, wrote a protection program for himself, so that others have no way to delete and change his data.
Luo Lang even thought of the situation if the other party wanted to completely destroy his data, so he spent a whole day burying a string of code in his data, and the moment the data was shredded, this string of code would report an error to the system, and the system would immediately be able to find the two Benxian groups he currently knew through the information he left, and the system would definitely destroy them in the shortest possible time, so that he Luo Lang would not be sacrificed in vain, at least two NPCs of the group would be backed.
What's more, I still have a backhand, Rolland thought triumphantly: I still have a player number with Matisse, and I'm not afraid to play cat and mouse games with you ignorant NPCs who have no back.
Luo Lang just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
On this day, as soon as he broke up with Si Chenxin, he went to the flower shop to find Dina.
In fact, along the way, Luo Lang had an uncomfortable ease - he didn't expect Si Chenxin to agree very simply, this is not the little fan girl who was waiting infatuated on the side of the tennis court, Luo Lang thought: She changed her body and brain, so even her heart was changed.
But it's okay, feelings have never been in the top few in Luo Lang's heart, he comforted himself.
Laurent tried to walk into Dina's flower shop with the brisk pace, and before he could say a few words, Dina's cell phone rang a few times, and then Dina asked him to wait in the shop, and walked to the garden behind the flower shop.
Luo Lang was waiting for Dina in the store, and after a few seconds, Shi Qingyue and the others suddenly appeared in front of him, and then he felt that his neck was tight, and his eyes were dark, and he didn't know anything.
......
......
......
It seemed like a century had passed, and Luo Lang slowly woke up from the darkness, and Matisse's voice sounded in his ears: "I told you a long time ago that NPCs are not safe, or the player number is easy to use, you see this earthquake, no players were injured." β
"What earthquake?" Luo Lang sat up.
"You've got a big earthquake!" Matisse said, "You are too dangerous, and I dare not stay with you for long, lest I be implicated." But I'm a trustworthy person, if I find something wrong with your player number, I will still come to you to do after-sales service, goodbye, you take care! β
After Matisse left, Rolland stood up and looked at the ruined city, the blood of the NPCs had not yet coagulated, showing that he had not slept as long as he thought.
The system was so efficient, Luo Lang thought, he guessed that the system would destroy the two groups, but he didn't expect it to destroy the whole city.
Thinking that the entire city had been destroyed, Luo Lang suddenly thought of Si Chenxin, who had just broken up, and suddenly felt a thousand waves surging in his heartβshe might be the only person in the world who put me in the most important position at some point.
Luo Lang decided to go to Si Chenxin, he came to Si Chenxin's house, dug out the dying Si Chenxin from the ruins of the house, and quickly made a backup for her.
Luo Lang said to Si Chenxin, whose breath was getting weaker and weaker: "I am Luo Lang, don't worry, I will resurrect you." β
With tears in his heart, Si Chen asked angrily: "You took the initiative to break up...... Why did you come to save me again? β
"I broke up with you in order to deceive a player's trust." Luo Lang hugged Si Chenxin and said: "Now that I also have the identity of a player, I don't have to rely on her, let's go back and start life again in another place." β
Si Chen nodded effortlessly and closed his eyes peacefully.
