Lu Haoyue came with Du Yu and Wen Di, and when they arrived at the agreed place, they met Luo Lang and Si Chenxin at the door.

Si Chenxin took Luo Lang's arm and asked Lu Haoyue in a worried tone: "Do you know what they called us here for?" I don't even understand the secrets of the world that Lin π Ke said, do you understand? ”

Lu Haoyue didn't know where to start for a while, Wen Di stepped forward and said: "Haoyue explained to me, that is, our world is not real, it is just a game developed by others, and now, Lin π Ke and they want to lead us...... Break out ......"

Si Chenxin looked up at Luo Lang and said, "How do you listen...... What about secondary two? ”

Wen Di put his index finger to his mouth and motioned to everyone to whisper: "I think they may have held a sci-fi themed party and want to surprise us." ”

Luo Lang looked at her coldly and said, "Boys don't get so boring. ”

Lu Haoyue rang the doorbell, and almost at the same time, Qiao Sasa rushed from outside the garden.

This building covers a small area, a total of three floors, each floor is about 100 square meters, just enter the door is a small living room with a height of about 50 square meters, Lin π, Shi Qingyue and a stranger are sitting on the sofa in the center of the living room.

After Lin π Ke settled everyone down, the stranger began to introduce himself: "Hello everyone, my name is Yun Mengze, and I am a friend of Shi Qingyue's cousin Chi Xingmang, everyone may have heard π Ke and Qingyue say something about Xingmang, but they don't have a systematic understanding of this incident." Now I'm going to explain it to you in an organized way. ”

Wen Di hugged and passed by, Si Chenxin snuggled up to Luo Lang, Qiao Sassa put his hand on Shi Qingyue's shoulder, Lu Haoyue and Du Yu sat on the carpet and listened attentively.

Yun Mengze took a sip of Nespresso and said, "Last month, Xingmang and I got a brain-computer interface and hard disk from our mentor. There are several software and some e-books stored on the hard drive, and we read these books and find that the world we live in is a game called "Insatiable", and the characters we usually see are the players and NPCs in it. The brain-computer interface we got is not the ordinary brain-computer interface that we are now familiar with to control prosthetics, but refers to a piece of code that runs a game plug-in, which we can use to change the data for the world and ourselves, which means that after installing the plug-in, we can change our appearance, voice, brain memory, CPU, etc., and we can even store our own body and brain data to fight against the death arranged by the system. In the future, we can even develop some new features to change the environmental data, such as changing the amount of money in our own bank, changing the size and design of our house, changing the performance of our own vehicles, and so on. ”

Wen Di tilted his head, smiled playfully and asked Yun Mengze: "This is the so-called open life, isn't it?" ”

Yun Mengze nodded at her: "Yes, but it's not our ultimate goal to live an open life in the game. You know, everyone here, including me, we are all NPCs, after the player dies in the game, you can spend money to continue your life, or you can save your life experience on the hard drive to reminisce, but we are NPCs that are insignificant to the system, the mission of life is just to let players have fun and have fun, according to the developer's settings, we will not have any data to be stored after death, that is, after the NPC dies, there is no mind, no soul, everything will be zero, as if it never existed. ”

"It's horrible!" Si Chen's voice trembled and said, "Then can we change the system data to make it think that we are players?" ”

Yun Mengze said: "That actually doesn't make much sense, because even the "Insatiable" game itself, its existence is fragile, according to the books I have read from the outside world, and my own observations, I think this is a very popular game, if one day the game development company abandons it, we are disguised as players, and we have to go to the end with the death of the game." So, the only right way is to escape this game and run to reality. ”

Qiao Sassa asked, "Is it difficult to run?" ”

Yun Mengze sighed and said: "Don't say it's Benxian, even if it's just a preliminary change in the data, it may lead to the elimination of the system, a few days ago, Chi Xingmang was removed from the system when he encountered a bug when testing a new function." ”

Qiao Sassa looked at Shi Qingyue in shock: "What do you mean?" Passed away? Can his data be recovered? ”

Shi Qingyue lowered his head: "Unfortunately, we haven't had time to back him up yet." ”

Yun Mengze continued: "This is a major mistake, every time we develop in the future, the data of each of us will be stored in at least five different places, and we should recruit a large number of developers and testers in order to hide ourselves in the system to the greatest extent possible and avoid the routine scans every day." ”

Wen Di and Si Chenxin glanced at each other, their faces intertwined with worry and half-belief.

Du Yu asked in a low voice: "Can the backup of five different locations ensure security?" ”

"There is no absolute guarantee of security in this world." Yun Mengze said: "But I know that if we don't do these things, we will also be guaranteed to die one day." ”

Du Yu whispered: "It's still a little unbelievable, is this thing true?" Can brain data really be stored? Can the body really be customized? Is there no problem with changing from a man to a woman? ”

Yun Mengze took out a data line-like thing and said: "Tianyan and body transformation, you can choose one, and you can equip more plug-ins according to your contribution to the team in the future, by the way, I forgot to tell you that Tianyan is a plug-in used to view the information of players and NPCs, and this plug-in is also very important, it allows you to see who is an important person around you, and then decide to attack him or avoid him according to the situation...... Does anyone want to try it? ”

Although Lu Haoyue believed most of what Yun Mengze said, she didn't dare to try it first, so she shrank her head and pretended to be dumb.

Luo Lang stood up and said, "I'll try the Sky Eye first." ”

Yun Mengze inserted the brain-computer interface into Luo Lang's ear, knocked it on the computer a few times, and then taught him to unlock and decipher the letters on the ID.

Luo Lang looked around and said excitedly: "I really saw your information, that's right, everyone is an NPC." ”

Wen Di said excitedly: "Really? What's written on my profile? ”

Qiao Sasa said with a sad face: "It's an NPC that has something to be happy about." ”

Du Yu took advantage of the heated discussion around Luo Lang, stood up and walked gently in front of Yun Mengze, and whispered, "Hello, can I choose that body transformation plug-in?" ”

Yun Mengze quickly installed the plug-in for him and taught him how to use it, telling him that now the body transformation can only change the appearance and not the force value, endurance value or anything, but it has been able to fool other NPCs perfectly, and it can also fool players for the time being, but pay attention to the update in the future. Du Yu ran into the bathroom immediately after learning to operate.

Qiao Sasa and Si Chenxin chose body transformation, Wendi chose Tianyan, Lu Haoyue hesitated between the two, on the one hand, she hoped to become more beautiful, but she was more curious about the world that Tianyan could see, and finally saw that everyone had chosen, and when it was time for her to make a decision, she mustered up the courage to walk up to Lin π Ke and asked, "Which one do you think I choose?" ”

Lin π ke's eyes flickered for a while, and he paused for a few seconds and said, "Tianyan!" ”

Lu Haoyue then went to Yun Mengze to install the Heavenly Eye, and Lin π Ke taught him how to use it.

Si Chenxin and Qiao Sasa hid in the corner of the living room to change themselves, Wen Di glanced at everyone in the room, Lu Haoyue couldn't stop scanning her eyes everywhere, Du Yu pinched herself into a hot beauty, which aroused everyone's admiration and laughter, and for a while the whole building was filled with a Halloween-like funny atmosphere.

Lu Haoyue carefully browsed everyone's information and found that the difference between people was not as big as she originally thought, and she couldn't understand why there were all kinds of complex feelings behind these values, such as mutual attraction or mutual repulsion.

"We don't see the world enough now." Lin π Ke suddenly said in Lu Haoyue's ear: "With the development of new features, you will see more profound content. ”

Lu Haoyue was suddenly a little curious: "Why are you an NPC created by a player?" Who created you? ”

"I don't know yet, but I think I will be able to see the creator of a new feature in the future." Lin π Ke said with a confused look in his eyes: "I'm a little suspicious of my mother." ”

"Your mom must have put a lot of thought into creating you." Lu Haoyue looked at his graceful side face: "You are much more charming than the NPCs that come with our system." ”

However, in the process of this dialogue, Lu Haoyue persistently used her eyes to unlock her relationship with Lin π Ke many times, each time she was a friend, and she didn't even have the surprise of showing the error.

Lu Haoyue looked at Lin π ke's profile again, but couldn't explain the reason for the relationship, but in the world of data, everything should have rules to follow, Lu Haoyue thought: as long as everyone makes every effort to develop new features, one day all the secrets of the world will be revealed.

After being crazy for a while, Yun Mengze motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said in the tone of a speech: "We have mastered the brain-computer interface and established a development team, and I announce that the counterattack of NPCs will start from this moment!" ”

The crowd cheered in unison.

Yun Mengze put his hands down, signaling that the cheers were a little smaller, and he said unhurriedly: "We need to divide labor and cooperate, and the current types of work are mainly divided into three categories, one is developers, for the time being, there are only me and Shi Qingyue; The other is testing, and the other is outreach. Everyone can almost think of the content of the test work, and the members who want to do the test work need to learn the language programming in their spare time and serve as a reserve for the development department; The work of outreach is mainly to recruit members, and the members we recruit have two tasks, one is to develop a game for the company as our main external business, and the other is to develop more new members. Now you need to decide whether to claim the test or the outreach. ”

Everyone discussed it, Lu Haoyue and Luo Lang claimed the test work, Qiao Sasa, Si Chenxin, Du Yu and Wen Di claimed the outreach work, Lin π Ke also claimed the outreach work, and Yun Mengze also assigned him the responsibility of managing the External Relations Department separately.

"There's not very good news to tell you." Yun Mengze said to the teenagers who were on the rise: "We are not the only ones in the world who have brain-computer interfaces, as far as I can infer so far, my senior brother must also have an organization in the country of Qili, and he is definitely ahead of us at the moment, so everyone should go home early today to rest, and work hard tomorrow to catch up with their progress." ”

Luo Lang followed his words and asked, "Then are we the only ones in China?" ”

Yun Mengze paused and said, "As far as I know, it is the only one, but there may be others. ”

Yun Mengze and everyone agreed to start work tomorrow, and after everyone confirmed their working hours, everyone except Yun Mengze prepared to go home and rest. Yun Mengze asked Shi Qingyue to leave the passerby behind, because there was still some code that needed to be modified, after all, this was the first time he had coded an animal body in its entirety.

Yun Mengze drove them to the subway station and went back to programming. After Yun Mengze's car went away, Wen Di was the first to say: "I can't believe it, it's like a dream." ”

Qiao Sassa stood up and said, "My brain is a little messy, why don't we find a place to talk?" ”

Everyone echoed in unison, and Wen Di shook Lin π ke's arm and said, "Yes, there are a lot of things to ask π Ke and Qingyue!" ”

The group took the subway back to the city center to find a mass-selling KTV, because everyone felt that there were too many emotions to scream.

After entering the private room, he didn't start singing, Qiao Sassa roared and said, "I just saw a player enter the private room at the end of the corridor, did you see it?" ”

Wen Di said: "I saw one on the street before I entered the KTV. ”

Luo Lang asked Lin π with a solemn expression: "Can players see our plug-ins?" Do we need to hide from the player? ”

Lin π collapsed on the sofa and stared at the spotlight on the ceiling and said, "As far as I can observe so far, I think it is invisible for the time being. But players can't hide, there's a ...... near my house."

Lu Haoyue watched the yellow, green and blue lights wandering on Lin π ke's ivory-white face, as if the midsummer river scenery was shining at the beginning of night. Lu Haoyue remembered that night, when he talked about the player nearby, he was nervous but couldn't help but smile lightly, the fine beads of sweat on his lips were lined with a faint light next to the pearl-colored rabbit teeth, and the upturned corners of his lips and slightly curved eyes formed a wonderful echo on his face, bringing just the right amount of warmth and cuteness to his slender and slender face.

Si Chenxin said in a brisk tone: "Anyway, if you can customize your appearance, even if you are only the number one beauty in China for one day, I will be blinded to death!" ”

Qiao Sassa sneered: "Actually, you can't even be the first beauty of the calendar, don't forget that I also have this plug-in!" ”

Si Chenxin defended: "Didn't you find out? Pinching the face is like making a sculpture, mainly looking at aesthetics and techniques, I have studied sculpture, and I will definitely be able to pinch the most beautiful face. ”

"Don't fight, you're not as beautiful as me!" Du Yu sat down between the two of them, separating the two hedged aura: "We'll talk about it later, let's sing and celebrate first!" ”

Wendi was the first to start singing, Lu Haoyue sat next to the song ordering machine to order songs for everyone, and Shi Qingyue also sat on the edge because he didn't sing.

Luo Lang took a box and invited Shi Qingyue: "I heard π Ke say that you also like to play "The Great Wheel of History", let's play together?" ”

Shi Qingyue sat down with him at the square table in the corner of the room and started playing, and Lu Haoyue also curiously followed over to watch this board game that she had never heard of.

Luo Lang chatted with Shi Qingyue while placing the cards: "This brain-computer interface Yun Mengze has it, and Dr. South America also has it, how did it flow into the game in the first place?" ”

Shi Qingyue said: "Who knows, the player developed it, right? ”

Luo Lang then asked, "Then where did Yun Mengze's mentor go?" Could it be that there are actually a lot of people who have it, but they are all underground organizations like us, so we don't know? ”

Shi Qingyue scratched his head: "It's possible, but if we are the first in China, we can still surpass it by virtue of our population advantage." ”

Hearing that the flute was about to finish singing, Qiao Sasa came over and pulled Shi Qingyue to sing with her, and Luo Lang let Lu Haoyue, who was watching the battle, go on top.

"It's complicated, I haven't understood it yet!" Lu Haoyue refused repeatedly.

"It's okay!" Luo Lang said: "I heard that you are very good at math, and you will definitely be able to learn it quickly." ”

Lu Haoyue couldn't refuse, so she had to sit down.

Luo Lang asked Lu Haoyue: "I saw that you also chose to do the test in the afternoon?" ”

Lu Haoyue raised her head and bumped into his sharp lynx eyes, feeling uneasy, she lowered her head and avoided Luo Lang's gaze and said, "Well, I'm not good at communicating, so I won't choose outreach." ”

Luo Lang asked a few more words, Lu Haoyue coped in a panic, feeling that the social phobia that she usually suppressed was about to explode, but fortunately, Si Chenxin immediately rushed to this table after singing her song at this time. After Si Chenxin came, she coquettishly asked Luo Lang to teach her the rules of the game, and the two talked hotly at the table, but Lu Haoyue was not sitting at the moment, and felt impolite when she got up to leave, so she had to turn her eyes to Lin π Ke for help. The clever Lin π Ke instantly realized and walked over to join them.

Luo Lang and Lin π Ke then played with Lu Haoyue and Si Chenxin in a lively and lively game of the "Giant Wheel of History" Teaching Bureau.

In the midst of the singing, Lu Haoyue turned her head to look at Du Yu, who was as charming as Wen Di, and there were thousands of surreal feelings lingering in her mind. Whether we believe it or not, Lu Haoyue pondered: The process of history is rolling in, and one day the data will tear apart ordinary life like garbled codes. Everything we wish to save, rewrite or delete is in our hands, but we face uncertain external interference. Vulnerabilities left in systems and game software, large or small, can be an incalculable disaster with incalculable probability, or an opportunity for our thinking to live forever.

Qiao Saluo opened a bottle of chilled rosé sparkling wine for everyone. Dense foam adheres to the walls of the tulip-shaped glasses that are hazy with the mist, and tiny drops of wine splash on the hands of each person who toasts to the glass. There is no need for a high alcohol content in the atmosphere of the hyperactive hero dream, a cup of belly, everyone in the seat is already slightly drunk.
