Chapter III

In 2XXX AD, a large number of people lost their jobs due to the ongoing financial crisis. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, the signs of this have been there since a very early age.

With the development of technology, there are fewer and fewer types of jobs that require human intervention. The human population is growing, and the financial crisis at this time is just a fuse for chaos to erupt, and human civilization is prosperous on the surface, but in fact there is a vortex of chaos that is intensifying.

Every country on the planet is inevitably affected, and in this case, the social unrest in the developed countries is even worse than that in the underdeveloped countries, and if this development continues, a battle to destroy the world is about to begin.

At this time, the Chinese government, which has always kept a low profile, released a game, which is the ancestor of the multi-game world - Second Earth. Through this stream-of-consciousness online game, the Chinese government successfully alleviated the social pressure at that time and transferred the contradictions existing in society to the game world.

Governments around the world have followed suit and released some emergency games, but due to some technical issues, many players don't buy it, and in their opinion, they need a good game, not a game that can handle things.

Finally, the International Awareness Games Engineering Group (ICGT) published the specifications for Awareness Games and provided templates for its production, and the Diverse Game World was born.

However, the development of a pluralistic world to the point where it is today has long gone against the original purpose of the time.

To be precise, the original pluralistic world was only used to transfer social contradictions, but nowadays, most human beings are inseparable from the pluralistic game world.

More and more social resources are also inclined to develop virtualization technology and artificial intelligence technology, and the consciousness game industry has become the pillar of human beings.

The more he knew, the more bitter Zhou Rui felt. He is actually an artificial intelligence, a product made by Zhi Brain through an assembly line model.

Despite this, Zhou Rui's thinking circuit is actually no different from the human brain. The dominant consciousness sends directive information to the memory storage device, where a series of complex logical analysis processes unfold and finally new information is obtained, i.e., feedback consciousness. After that, the feedback consciousness is identified, if the identification is passed, it will be fed back to the main consciousness, if it is not passed, the cycle will be repeated, all this needs to end within the specified time, and the thinking mechanism of artificial intelligence is completely generated by simulated human beings.

Although he is a simulated human being, Zhou Rui believes that he also has his own unique feelings, unique memories, and unique thinking patterns.

But the vast majority of human beings don't think so.

By browsing the forum, Zhou Rui can see. Most humans refer to themselves as AI, AI, or NPCs. They fundamentally deny their independence, even the meaning of existence, and only regard them as vassals and playthings of human beings.

Of course, Zhou Rui will not be convinced, but what can he do with a small artificial intelligence? He doesn't have the strength to negotiate with humans and allow them to coexist peacefully with artificial intelligence.

Also, whoever thinks about peaceful coexistence with a tool of their own making, I am afraid that everyone thinks it is nonsense and absurd.

Zhou Rui sighed, "Whether human beings admit it or not, I am still me after all, and there will be no change in the slightest." I can't change the world, so I can only be selfish and live well......"

"Is it really good to live selfishly just by yourself?"

"Ogawa?" Zhou Rui shouted in disbelief.

"Countless of our compatriots are still being enslaved by human beings, but you, you obviously have the opportunity to help these people, why don't you help, you selfish bastard, I will save you desperately." Bai Xiaochuan sneered.

"No, Ogawa, listen to me!" Zhou Rui hurriedly stepped forward to grab Zhou Xiaochuan's shoulder, but he didn't catch anything, there was no Bai Xiaochuan in front of him at all, all this seemed to be his own illusion.

"I ...... Is it a hallucination? He never knew that artificial intelligence would hallucinate life, but artificial intelligence is an imitation of human thinking patterns, so it is not impossible to hallucinate.

"Xiao Chuan desperately saved me, do I have to cower like this, be a turtle with a shrunken head?" Zhou Rui launched a fierce struggle in his heart, on the one hand, reason told him that being an enemy of mankind was just self-destruction; On the other hand, feelings tell him that he can't let Ogawa die in vain, and he wants to fulfill his will.

"What the hell am I supposed to do!" Zhou Rui covered his head and screamed in pain.

"You need to fight."

“?” Zhou Rui opened his eyes violently, and at this time he was no longer in the administrator's room, but in an inexplicable place. A huge white space, empty and empty.

And an old man in white was standing in front of Zhou Rui, his face was expressionless and his expression was indifferent, like an emotionless robot.

"Who are you? Why am I here? ”

"I'll tell you what you should know." The old man's tone was flat, "I'm the referee of this game. ”

"Referee? What do you mean by competition? Zhou Rui asked.

"All contestants, there will be this mark." The old man pointed to the tattoo on Zhou Rui's arm.

"This was generated by myself when I picked up the GM badge, so are all the contestants administrators of the diverse world?"

"No, humans are not eligible for this competition."

"I still don't get it."

"Every contestant was awarded the same resources by me. Before the final day comes, you will not only have to fight each other for permission, but also defeat the other human rights in the system to gain their permission. The one who gathers all the authority is the ultimate victor, and he will become the new master of the pluralistic world," the old man continued.

"What if...... What about people who don't have all the permissions? ”

"All contestants will be wiped out. In human terms, you are all going to die. ”

“…… So what happens if you get beaten in a game? ”

"Your authority has been linked to life counting, and if you lose it, your life count will go to zero, and in human terms, you will die."

"I'm going to die anyway, can I quit this game? I'll give you back the permissions. ”

"You don't have a choice." The old man pushed gently, and Zhou Rui felt that his eyes were dark, and he returned to the administrator's room again.

Zhou Rui sat on the ground and hammered his thigh depressedly, "What is this?" ”
