After daybreak, the town gradually became more and more populous. This is the first time Lu Yu has seen such a thing as an NPC in this game, he couldn't help but observe it more, and tried to test the intelligence of the NPCs with dialogue, and the result was quite amazing.

"I said, this one gives me the feeling that these AI designs are qualified to challenge the Turing test." Lu Yu couldn't help but be speechless.

In some old-fashioned games, NPCs are simply used as a vehicle to provide information to the protagonist and to decorate the game world. So except for some important NPCs who will have a lot of dialogue, most of the other NPCs come and go with a few nonsense words like "The weather is nice today", "Have you eaten", "I bought a hiking bag last year, super wearable" and so on, which is as boring as greetings between unfamiliar colleagues in the office. Later, some producers began to work on improving the environmental experience in the game, adding their own rules of behavior to the NPCs and adding more daily dialogue to make them look more like real people. This idea is very good, but compared to what Lu Yu and they saw, there is really a world of difference in completion.

As the sun rises, the people of this town begin their day. For this relatively remote town, these strangely dressed outsiders who suddenly appeared were undoubtedly quite conspicuous, no matter who they were, they would look at them with a wary gaze when they passed by, and they looked very guarded.

"Pretty good." Lu Yu nodded to them and didn't forget to give a good review, "This reaction is very natural, and the attitude is also in place, if you don't think about it, you won't feel like an NPC at all." ”

"I'd advise you not to think so."

It was Zhu Xiaowen who spoke, and with the arrival of the day, he left the dark forest where he couldn't see his fingers, and his nervous condition improved a lot. The first game that Zhu Xiaowen played was a block-type detective reasoning class, and there were many NPCs in it, but during the whole game, except for the use of "staring at the player, player information can be displayed", he couldn't tell whether a person was a player or an NPC from words and deeds. What Lu Yu is feeling now, Zhu Xiaowen personally felt it in the first game.

"Not only that, but you don't want to call him an NPC in front of people, or give any hints or anything like that." Zhu Xiaowen said, "In my first game, an experienced veteran told me that he said that NPCs are like people who are dreaming, and you can communicate with him like a normal person, but you can't break it. Once an NPC realizes that they are not real people, something terrible can happen. ”

"What will happen?" Lu Yu looked very interested. Zhu Xiaowen shrugged: "I don't know, maybe he heard it from others." ”

"Lu Yu, I warn you." Nao said, "Don't you want to do any 'experiments' this time. This time, all the staff are betting on all the survival points, even if you are not afraid of death, you should think about us. ”

Seth scoffed beside him: "Forget it, you warned you like this last time, is it useful." ”

"It depends." Lu Yu was noncommittal.

The four of them chatted about some things, but they never waited for further prompts from the system. Lu Yu suggested that he go find a small restaurant and sit down first. While they don't feel hungry as a game character, in most old movies, public places like restaurants and taverns are a great place to get information, and the noisy bartenders and waiters will tell you everything you need. Maybe the clues to clearing the customs are hidden in these small conversations.

"Son of the Ash family? I can't see him now, that kid just got married a short time ago, and then moved to another place with his newly married wife. Alas, Ravensfar is like that, he can't keep young people. ”

The waiter wiped the table boredly, chatting with them without a word. At this time, they had just opened a store, and from the boss to the waiter, they all looked like they hadn't woken up, and Lu Yu and his party were their first customers. It's okay to leave and right, and it's good to talk about a few words as a refreshment. One of the advantages of the town is that everyone is an acquaintance, and the news spreads quickly, and the whole town knows about who has a gossip or something within a few days.

From the waiter's mouth, Lu Yu learned that the protagonist of the original movie, Jimmy Ash, has not returned, that is, the plot in the movie has not yet begun.

"It's a bit of a problem." Lu Yu frowned.

"What's wrong?" Seth didn't react. But Nao also sighed and said, "It's really not good. ”

"That's right." Zhu Xiaowen, who was a little slower, also figured it out, "Just now Brother Yu told us the plot of the movie, the beginning of the story is that the protagonist Jimmy Ash's wife Lisa was killed in the apartment, and then Jimmy returned to his hometown with a puppet he received, and then began to investigate and the story that followed. In terms of time, several days passed between Jimmy's return to his hometown and his killing by Mary Shaw. ”

"But the maximum single game time of the game pod we use is 12 hours......," Seth suddenly realized, "I understand, the biggest boss of the original work is undoubtedly that Mary Shaw, but if we defeat Mary Shaw in these 12 hours, there will be no follow-up story, and the so-called 'original' will not be established." ”

Lu Yu nodded: "Not only that, in the original movie, the protagonist burned all the puppets in the underground of the theater, which means that not only Mary Shaw, but even her puppets can be regarded as 'invincible' before they are burned according to the plot." Either the strength is too much beyond us, or the system will protect them, in short, from this point of view, we can basically rule out the possibility of killing the big boss to clear the customs. ”

"Ugh." Seth sighed regretfully, "It's rare that I gave an extra weapon with a freezing effect when attacking people during the last game settlement, so it seems that I didn't have a chance to use it this time." ”

As he spoke, he heartlessly flashed his weapon, a triumphant look on his face.

[Name: Blue Star Shimmering Sword]

[Grade: Excellent]

[Type: Weapon]

[Equipment Requirements: Fighting D]

[Attack: Strong]

[Special effect: When the target is a human, there is a chance that the freeze effect will be added for one second.] 】

[Description: With a flash of the sword, you will find that your head has left the body ......]

It was a one-handed greatsword that shimmered with a dazzling blue light, and as soon as Seth took it out, its light instantly lit up the empty restaurant. Nao and Zhu Xiaowen were shocked and blocked in front of the sword to cover it, so as not to attract the attention of others. Fortunately, the waiter happened to bend down to pick up something under the bar, and the manager happened to enter the kitchen in the back.

"Put it away! A sucker! Nao muttered, "It's too eye-catching to suddenly pull out a weapon here!" And it's completely incompatible with this worldview! ”

"It doesn't matter."

Lu Yu said as he took out the weapon he had just started last time...... Hmm, like a hammer?

【Name:Inflatable Hammer】

[Grade: General]

[Type: Weapon]

[Equipment Requirements: Fighting F]

[Attack: None]

[Special Effect: Double the attack power of targets under the age of 12.] 】

[Note: Dedicated to slapstick, pay attention to safety.] 】

"This ...... Was it the weapon you drawn? Zhu Xiaowen looked at the equipment information on both sides, and the expression on his face could be described as informative. If you have to calculate, the proportion is about 15% "can't complain", 20% "complain and I will lose", 25% "what kind of character is this product" and up to 40% "No, I have to hold back and not complain, otherwise the team will collapse".

"Waiter!"

Lu Yu shouted, and waved the inflatable hammer at the waiter without mind, asking him to come over and refill the water. And the waiter didn't even think there was anything wrong, so he came over with a kettle. After he finished adding someone, Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction and put away the extremely shameful inflatable hammer.

"I guessed right." Lu Yu took a leisurely sip of the water cup, "The NPCs here have an adaptive mechanism that ignores or obfuscates things that are obviously beyond the scope of their cognition. I noticed it when I introduced myself to the waiter just now. The two of you are better, the names 'Lu Yu' and 'Zhu Xiaowen' are obviously oriental, but he didn't have any feelings after hearing it, and only said a word of welcome, stranger. I guess even if my ID is called ' Life limit, no life limit, no throwing machine, the day before yesterday, Xiaoxin's underwear, Xinba's life, Barumung, Faizalion, Isaac Schonaid, one-third of the innocent feelings, the remaining two-thirds are the feelings of the barbs, betrayal, as if he knows my name, I know he doesn't know, not at home, dried squid, medaka, dried herring roe, dung pit, killifish, this is different from just now, oh, this is Chi Nai medaka, spicy oil, male imperial palace king, Kimura Emperor, baa, ba, no, ba, no, hey, hey, he, no, hey, he, he, ”

"You know, I didn't interrupt just to see if you can really memorize that string of names." Nao complained coldly, "There's yours." ”

"I can't see that you like that style of anime too, fellow travelers." Zhu Xiaowen shook his hand movingly, looking like he had found a soulmate.

The group chatted in the restaurant for a while, but the system never gave a prompt, and it seems that most of the task information is not triggered by time. Seeing that a lot of game time had passed, Nao couldn't sit still at first.

"It's not an option to go on like this, why don't we go out and look around the town? You may not know what event can be triggered. ”

"I suggest working in pairs...... Zhu Xiaowen raised his hand timidly, "then something can be taken care of." ”

"It's a good idea to explore, how about starting here." Lu Yu smiled and said, "Didn't you notice, the store manager entered the back kitchen an hour ago, and he didn't come out for a long time, and then the waiter came in to look for him......"

He quietly turned his head to look at the empty bar.

"They haven't come out until now."
