Chapter 21 Rewards

The cat master stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at everything that was happening below, and said in a tone of natural indifference: "Look, war and chaos, collapse and destruction. ”

Qing'er was naturally flipping through the forum, and she also knew a rough idea of what happened, "How did you do it?" That Guiguzi is your companion, do you have some kind of cheating? ”

"You have to think about it from our point of view, or you'll never get it right." Master Cat began to pace back and forth: "First of all, we are not playing this online game, we are playing another game, that game requires us to get five hundred kills in this multiverse online game world, and the time limit is five hundred hours.

You can try to think about it, according to common sense, it is almost impossible for two LV1 characters to accomplish this. Therefore, in order to achieve the goal, we cannot follow common sense at all, and we have to find some kind of loophole that will help us ignore the established rules and gain a huge advantage over common sense.

And the 'source' of that vulnerability, which I quickly discovered, was us. We're different from all players, you play through the signals sent by your brain, and we, in terms you can understand, are, for example, there is a player whose body is dead, but his consciousness is magically left in the world of this game, manipulating a character. ”

"Is that possible?"

"Is this world yours? I don't know, I'm not interested, and we didn't end up here in this form of our own free will. But assuming this situation is true, you can imagine that our communication with the system is naturally different.

For example, I can't taste the food, I don't feel hungry or full, I don't have to go to the bathroom, I don't feel tired, I don't have to sleep, I can sit at the table, eat virtual food, eat without sleep for a month, and go on.

These differences may seem inconsequential, right? But it is often the smallest loophole that can cause the collapse of the entire system. That's why the word BUG is so apt. ”

The cat sat back down at the table: "Sitting here eating and drinking tea is also part of my experiment, although I can basically be sure in advance that I can't feel this virtual taste, but until it is confirmed, any opinion is a hypothesis, not a fact." He glanced at Qing'er: "This is the only way for the natural science you believe in to draw conclusions." ”

He continued: "When I ate a lot of tasteless food in a row, and I didn't feel full, I changed to tea and poured it to try the various reactions that the liquid would bring to my body, but it still didn't happen.

At this point, combined with the experiments that my companions and I did in the previous leveling and fighting monsters, the 'negligible type' error was almost tried, and the leaders of the three major guilds also happened to come downstairs at this seaview hotel at this time, so it was almost time to try that slightly more serious mistake. ”

Qing'er said: "Do you want to say that everything that happened below is due to the error of the system itself?" ”

Mao Ye said: "Of course, no system can be invulnerable, you are in this virtual online game, there are countless program errors every day, those errors are like the breath of the world, insignificant, no one will notice at all."

But there are others, as I said, 'negligible' errors, that people can already detect, so the system has to 'ignore' them. That is, acknowledging the existence of such bugs, but bugs of this magnitude do not have much of an impact, at least not a fatal, devastating blow to the entire system.

My companion and I don't have a sense of taste in this world, we don't have the illusion of slight pain like yours when we are attacked by monsters, and our fatigue doesn't decrease over time, which doesn't affect the order of the entire online game world, so the system chose to 'ignore'. ”

He paused, then continued: "And 'ignorance' is only a response of the system itself, and it is temporary. In order to permanently solve these bugs, it is natural to need the intervention and adjustment of the technical department. But there are so many mistakes that it is impossible for humans to deal with them, and game companies tend to prioritize the correction of the most frequent and serious mistakes. Most other errors in the game are handled by the system itself.

Well...... It's true that the technology of your world is a little ahead of ours, but the fundamentals of computers here are the same as ours, the same binary system. Although the system function of this game is excellent, it is not a 'Skynet' after all, no matter how good it is, it is only reflected in the calculation speed and the huge amount of data that can be tolerated, so it can be said to be semi-artificial intelligence.

It's hard to break into a person's heart, but it's not that hard to break a machine. As soon as that 'negligible' bug appears, the crash is about to begin......

So, it all started the moment my companion was killed in the middle of the city. At first, he scolded as part of a plan, not only to make others decide to do something to him in the city, but more importantly, to shake people's trust in the system. At this time, he took advantage of a 'negligible' error, because the energy is always full, there is no concept of fatigue, he can scold people as much as he wants, and the system has no way to take him. And other players naturally have doubts about this situation.

Then, the moment he was killed, the rules between the others and the system were still the same, but what about him...... He didn't die. He was indeed killed, turned into white light, but not dead, this is a simple paradox, experience can indeed be deducted, and equipment will be damaged accordingly, but what about energy......

Since it can't be reduced, what can be done? He swears, you can ignore because you can't kick him off the line, so what about him dead? ”

Qing'er said: "Then don't let him die?" ”

"Quite rightly, the execution of the program 'Death' was terminated.

The laws of the computer world are efficient and iron-clad, huh...... At least much stronger than your belief in the natural sciences. We humans sometimes question ourselves, we use our imagination to explore the world beyond our understanding, and we change some established rules as appropriate. Computers don't do this, the function fails to apply for memory, the protection mechanism starts immediately, and a virtual online game like this naturally has an unimaginable, very robust system, so the death of my companion was terminated.

The experience has not decreased, the equipment has not deteriorated, and the energy has not decreased. Because the 'death' did not happen at all.

And when my companion took the initiative to PK in the city, the NPC guard, the defense program near him, according to the rules, went to kill him, and then ...... This time, the system simply shortened the time for him to turn into white light, and the whole thing was born and cooked twice, and the same situation happened the second time, and the calculation speed of the light brain was faster, and the system quickly recognized him as a rogue program, and then terminated the operation of 'death'.

The NPC Guardian is also affected at this point, as if he was infected by a virus, and his duty is to kill the target, but a few seconds after he completes the action, the system negates the action again, and the NPC program begins to self-destruct. When my companion attacked again, the program was broken down into junk and shattered.

The next thing is simple, as soon as one person starts, more and more people will rush to join the fight, and new NPC guards will be teleported nearby, even if they are not going to attack my companions, but the system will still perform the same operation according to the habitual thinking, as long as the defense system near this rogue program collapses one by one. Eventually, the city becomes something like anarchy, and in order to protect the real NPCs from being infected by this unknown bug, when the first unnegligible scenario occurs, they are all forced offline. And the failure of the resurrection point and so on, in short, all the parts related to his 'inability to die' situation are out of order. ”

"Aren't you afraid that this foul situation will cause the system to crash?" Qing'er asked.

"Crash? Hum...... It's like suicide. This system is a light brain, and the DOS system will do that. ”

"I don't understand, you've calculated all kinds of situations and possibilities, and you've tried and proven all of them right, why can't you use the immortality of the two of you to kill others normally?"

"Isn't that obvious? Do you think I can kill you now? The cat asked.

Qing'er thought for a while and said with a smile: "You have to practice another twenty levels." ”

"Isn't this the end, you're a high-level, it's okay to stand there and let me cut it, the health recovery speed may be higher than my DPS, even if we pick some people who are only one or two levels higher than ourselves to kill, we will soon become famous, people will say, there are two guys who open plug-ins, and they can never be killed are messing around outside to kill, who are we going to kill at that time? Even if they rushed into the main city to kill people, everyone else ran away. ”

"Can't you just practice a little higher and then do it?"

"We don't have much time, the leveling speed of this game is too cheating, and the newbie server is ugly......"

"So you're making war, aren't you?"

"Am I the one who makes the war?"

Qing'er said: "Is that still me?" ”

"You're still young, you can spend thirty or fifty years thinking slowly."

"Eh, I ask you, what if your plan goes wrong? If those three guys hadn't fought and there hadn't been chaos in the city, wouldn't you have failed? ”

The cat master replied: "Forty-eight hours." ”

"What?"

"My original layout, taking into account all the odds, would take the worst-case scenario at every critical point in time, and it would only take 48 hours to reach the goal."

"Don't blow it, you have such a god?"

"It doesn't matter if someone else takes the task of Aotian, it doesn't matter if you don't take the task, or it doesn't matter if you come in and say a word to me and leave. The overall trend is not going to change, I am not playing any conspiracy, but acting blatantly in front of everyone, and my companions and I have always been very clear about what we need to do. Because at the end of the day, no one in this multiverse, no matter what reasoning skills he has, will not be able to discern our true purpose, and even if I tell you the truth, don't you still show disbelief?

So no matter how things develop, there will eventually be a large number of people pouring into the City of Heroes for various reasons, and chaos after breaking the order will inevitably appear, and there will be no three major guilds, but there will also be a fourth and fifth guilds, twenty-four hours have passed, and there is still twenty-four hours, I can take another 20 million out to buy the life of the war spirit, your life, I can even display my name in the column of the task publisher, and there are ways to create the final situation. The worst ...... When the scuffle started, Guiguzi and I sneaked into the city and put traps everywhere, that thing...... I bought a lot of raw materials in the commercial guilds and made about a thousand of them. ”

"It seems that you really have complete control over the actions of our people......"

Mao Ye replied: "As I told you, human beings still make countless mistakes in history, and the source of all wars and chaos is due to the 'balance' between people, and the 'karma' accumulates to a certain point, and it will inevitably need to be released." The human heart is like that, the soul is like that, everywhere you go...... Unless all mankind is like Lao Tzu said, 'small countries and widows, chickens and dogs smell each other, and old and dead do not get along', otherwise, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes......"

Qing'er got up and said, "My fatigue is almost over, it's time to go offline." ”

"Please......" said the cat master.

"I still think you're just a madman." She smiled, but the smile was devoid of its initial hostility.

"I think that if you really believe all this I am talking about today and go out publicly, even you will be considered crazy."

"Huh...... Goodbye, Mr. Ripper of the other universe. ”

The cat shrugged: "There will be no goodbye." ”

Qing'er's figure gradually disappeared, and the cat master just wanted to send a message to Wang Xu to ask him how he killed, but the object in front of him suddenly changed.

It's the streets of New York again, it's the same waypoint.

Wang Xu and Mao Ye reappeared in the same place, even the posture was the same as before they were teleported, and the zombies gathered were still at that distance, as if time had stayed at a point, and they had not passed a second.

But at this moment, it all started again......

The two of them turned their heads and ran, and they ran more than ten meters in the same direction in an instant. Wang Xu shouted: "Is there a mistake! Still surrounded! ”

The cat master knocked a zombie man in front of him to the ground with an elbow blow: "Go to the roof and open the game assistant." ”

Together, they rushed into an alley, where Wang Xu jumped on top of a dumpster, then jumped high and pulled down a fire staircase from a balcony on the second floor of a building. As soon as he got off the ground and didn't stand firmly, the cat master jumped up on his head, and he reached the third floor in a few steps.

Wang Xu also scolded and followed, and soon, the two reached the roof and started the rooftop running day trip in New York City again......

"I mean, this thing is deformed again." Wang Xu found that the game assistant had become an electric shaver this time.

"Less nonsense, look."

Wang Xu turned on the switch, and the electric shaver actually projected a virtual image, with a few lines of words on it: "The S-level level of the fire world has been confirmed to be completed, and the final qualification has been obtained, and the reward item - the Holy Grail, which has magical powers, do you want to claim it now?" ”

Master Mao said: "Don't rush to get it first, let's go to Queens now to see if the S-level level teleportation point there is still there." I still have some things that I want to verify......"

Wang Xu let out an "oh", and then ran forward, and as soon as he turned his face to the front, his expression changed greatly, and he stopped and shouted, "Be careful! ”

The cat master was also looking at the game assistant just now, and he didn't pay attention to the road ahead, but he reacted quickly, and he stopped suddenly, but he didn't fall down.

At this moment, a huge ravine with a width of fifty meters appeared in front of the two of them, like a canyon in the city, but its shape was very strange, not the kind of terrain that was cracked by an earthquake, but very much like someone driving a gundam, holding a machete like a skyscraper, and slashing towards the middle of the road.

The chasm surged beneath the rift, the surrounding buildings and streets were stained with blood and strange fleshy vines, and there were many strange creatures crawling on the cliffs, resembling children in their teens, with red skin all over their bodies, walking on all fours, hideous faces, and fangs exiting.

Wang Xu said: "I guess I can't jump over, let's take a detour." ”

Master Mao said thoughtfully: "I understand...... There is a fixed connection between the two worlds, and it is impossible to go back and forth without the designated entrance. ”

"So, let's take a detour......"

The cat master didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, he looked at the other side and said, "Look at the monster over there in Queens." ”

Wang Xu narrowed his eyes and looked away, and what he saw was a team of robots wandering around.
