Chapter 49: Dreams

Five hours later, Reilly walked out of the castle with a green badge in his hand.

"What is this?" asked Nereus curiously.

"The key used to control the dragon god's armament. Reilly replied.

"Dragongod armament?" Richard thoughtfully said.

"That's them. Reilly gestured to the castle.

Richard looked up and saw a group of elven archers coming out of the castle and forming a neat phalanx in the open space next to it.

"These fighters...... Which castle was made?" asked Richard, bewildered.

"It's not that exaggerated. Rayleigh spread his hands and said, "A first-level Dragon God Fortress can only produce three elven archers of level 12 per day, or a jungle warrior of level 15. The army you see is a reinforcement sent by the Earth Dragon. ”

After the elves came out, Rayleigh counted a total of a thousand elven archers of level 12, 500 sword dancers of level 12, a hundred jungle warriors of level 15, and 30 level 15 druids. In addition to this, the Earth Dragon also sent three elven heroes. They are the archer Gru, the sword dancer Selene, and the druid Faruk, all three of whom are seventeenth-level powerhouses.

This force was left behind in the Dragongod Fortress, tasked with guarding the Tree of Life and keeping an eye on the Green Forest Elves. Reilly and the others returned to the base city and continued to cut down trees. This time, the Timbercutter's attack was directed at the Tree of Life, ready to cut a passage.

In the days that followed, the base city was attacked by two other elven tribes, and they still harassed the walking forest. However, the Norlanders already have experience in dealing with them. Richard and Reilly split up and succeeded in killing five druids, so that the two elven tribes did not dare to come out again.

In the blink of an eye, two months have passed. During this time, Rayleigh has been studying the Ryujin system and has begun to recall his experiences on Earth.

Reilly was originally a good programmer and a game enthusiast. His dream was to design a game that surpassed Warcraft.

One day, Reilly created a program on a whim. In the beginning, the program had only one source code, and Reilly gave it the ability to self-replicate and enter a command: exist.

After that, Reilly began to observe the program's reaction. At first, it didn't react, so Reilly dragged it into the background and let it develop on its own. However, he quickly threw himself into a game and left the program behind.

After a month, Reilly remembered the program and opened it to see what had become of it.

In the month following the program's birth, the source code steadily self-replicated, resulting in a lot of duplicate code, until one day, a bug occurred when one code was self-replicating. It began to combine with other code, which in turn resulted in different kinds of code. Then, in the process of self-replication, these codes produce other codes, making more and more types of codes.

Intrigued by Reilly, he began to observe the program again and named it the "Founding Program".

Over time, the founding program became more and more code, and at some point it ushered in a round of explosive growth. Seeing this phenomenon, Reilly remembered the explosion of species in Earth's history.

Soon after, something even more shocking happened!

In order to execute the "existential" instructions entered by Reilly, the codes began to devour each other in order to compete for limited hard drive space. Some simple and weak code is eliminated, so that the code after the Big Bang is rapidly reduced, and then it starts to reproduce again.

Reilly quit his job and used all his savings to buy a set of servers to serve as a carrier for the founding program.

In the days that followed, the code in the founding program multiplied and varied. After several rounds of outbreaks, those uncompetitive codes were eliminated one after another, and the rest were some extremely adaptable and complex codes. Some codes are even selected and combined without receiving a command, making for a simple program!

Reilly was ecstatic, he felt like his dream was about to come true!

In the days that followed, Reilly built a game engine based on Stratagus, which he then added to the founding program to create a new world.

However, things quickly got out of his control.

Once the engine was obtained, the evolution of the founding program was on the fast track. The amount of code grew exponentially and soon filled up a server. After that, the founders went so far as to hack into other servers on their own and plunder resources!

After discovering this, Reilly immediately unplugged the network cable connected to the external network, isolating his server from the outside world. As a good programmer, it's not hard to imagine the consequences of founding programs coming to the Internet. That would be a catastrophe for the whole of humanity!

Since then, Reilly has been interfering in the evolution of the founding program, trying to add some constants to it in order to control the growth rate of the code.

However, as time went on, the code in the founding program became more and more abundant, and the servers were quickly overwhelmed, eventually triggering a crash and all data being wiped out.

During that time, Reilly had the idea of connecting to the Internet more than once, but he eventually gave up. When he struggled the hardest, he even cut the network cable with a knife to force himself to dismiss the idea of networking. Reilly endured unforgettable pain and helplessness as he watched the founding process that carried all his dreams come to an end.

After the collapse of the founding program, it became clear to Reilly that he did not have the capacity to carry a world. He decided to start from scratch and become a game tester.

Across the gaming industry, there's no job as hard as a tester. The monotonous workflow, the hard work environment, the extremely low salary, and the endless BUG......

The reason why Railly chose such a position is to sharpen himself in the process of finding and fixing bugs and prepare for the future.

However, before Reilly could start a new creation, he was brought to the Norland plane by the Tower of Eternity.

After learning the reason for his crossing, Reilly began to think about the way forward. Now he is both the master of the Tower of Eternity and the successor of Asha. While receiving her inheritance, she is also obliged to bear the responsibility she left behind.

"It seems that the resettlement of those remnants is going to fall on me. Reilly spread his hands and said to himself, "However, the top priority is to improve your strength." ”

The next day, he said to Richard, "As things stand, we can't attack the other two Living Trees for the time being, unless you have a way to break the will of the forest. ”

Richard frowned and said, "There doesn't seem to be much left to do other than cut down trees." ”

"In that case, let me go to Faro to have fun. Reilly smiled and said, "Count the time, the humans there should be restless again." ”

Richard thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. With you in Faro, I don't have to worry about things over there. ”
