Since this book enters the story from the perspective of NPCs, in order to allow the male protagonist to slowly explore the whole picture of the world by himself, we did not introduce the game setting at first.

Therefore, some readers may not be able to clearly understand what the overall setting of the game "A Dream of a Thousand Years" is.

Here is a chapter on simple popular science.

First of all, "One Dream Millennium" is a product of Dream Company. And the basic data of this game comes from the previous "up and down five thousand years" game.

All the NPCs in the game "Five Thousand Years Up and Down" are built by an engine called "Historical Personality", so after going online, after having enough interaction data, the NPC as a whole has undergone AI evolution.

After a series of problematic accidents erupted, the game was suspended.

The historical personality is about this, each NPC is like a robot shell, and at the beginning it is a blank sheet of paper, how much data you enter him, how much data he has.

If there is an NPC named Zhuge Liang, then you enter his Zhuge Liang's life, and the details are implemented to the fact that he is a person from the Three Kingdoms era, and does not let him come into contact with the knowledge after that, then he will show that he is a Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms era. To master other knowledge, he needs to learn it on his own.

This setting is what I call a combination of science fiction and history. Design an ancient robot with artificial intelligence. By analogy, Xiang Yu, King Qin, Lu Bu, and Li Shimin can all design it this way. That's why it's called "historical personality".

"The Historical Personality Engine" is the work of Dr. Xie Tianyi, who has passed away by this time. The NPC boss of the previous generation, called "Thank God", is the digital avatar of the Doctor, or his digital son. Tianyi means "seamless", and providence means "unpredictable" and "undivilate".

Decades later, Dr. Mu Chenxue, a student and assistant to Dr. Xie Tianyi, developed "A Dream for a Thousand Years". During the trial run of the closed beta, the game automatically activated the "Chosen AI Repair System", and there are a total of seven such Chosen Children in the game.

In addition to having the same upgrade system, they also have a set of different special systems, such as Li Wu's "I am for everyone, everyone is for me". No spoilers for other people's systems.

The "One for All" system is to sacrifice one's own attribute points and use them to control the behavior of other NPCs. The system is also divided into several levels, and the current Li Wu mastery is the first level, which is to temporarily control the behavior of others. It has not yet reached the brainwashing stage.

In the closed beta phase of the "One Dream for a Thousand Years" game, some NPCs left over from the old program were also resurrected, and the two forces were mutually exclusive. After the closed beta ended, the Chosen One fell silent.

Li Wu and Guan Changsheng, who have appeared now, are the new chosen sons after the game is officially running. Their unifying feature is that they all have a dual system of NPCs and players, and they all have unique exclusive systems.

And the setting of the chosen one in this book will be more detailed in the subsequent stories.

Let's talk about this game.

Li Wu's initial identity was an NPC of the "Wild Horse Slope Bandit Dungeon". He is not an NPC on the free map outside, so not every player can meet him.

For example, if there are 1,000 teams farming the "Mustang Slope" quest at the same time, only 1 team will encounter him.

The so-called copy is a bit like a "parallel small world" under the big world.

In this small copy of Li Wu being activated, other NPCs will slowly change slightly with him, and if there is no external interference, it is likely to evolve. But as you know, the game must have upgrade maintenance and downtime for daily maintenance, so external interference will come at any time.

After he rushed out of the dungeon, he could be regarded as truly entering the "Dream Thousand Year World". In other words, he is now in his novice village.

The "Mustang Bandit Dungeon" is divided into two parts, one is the short-term dungeon "Bandit Robbery", and the other is the long-term dungeon "Mawei Town Chamber of Commerce". For players, the maps of other villages and towns outside Yanmen County are their novice villages, and the Mustang Slope dungeon is the novice village dungeon.

One more explanation about the copy:

If the player dies in a mini-quest, start over from the Rebirth Stone. If the group is wiped out, the NPC will be refreshed, so they won't encounter Li Wu for the second time.

In a long dungeon, the player dies and cannot be re-online for ten minutes. Therefore, if the team is destroyed, the dungeon is over.

Although theoretically, players can log back in in 10 minutes in a long dungeon, in a thousand-year-old world, most novice players can't stand the pain of dying. It is basically impossible to return to the dungeon state after 10 minutes.

The above is about the question that a reader friend recently asked, about why those people didn't come back to life after Li Wu killed some players. I thought about it, and I really needed to answer it. Then, in addition to the reason for the game system setting, the main problem is that the dream of a thousand years is too real, resulting in beginner players not being able to adapt to death.

Finally, let's talk about "a thousand years of dreams". This is not just a game like "Sword 3" and "Warcraft", nor is it an existence like Genshin Impact. Its worldview is larger.

Gamers don't need to choose a class, they are not limited to what weapons they can use, and they are not limited to magic or cold weapons. You can develop as much as you want.

For the average player, even stat points are not particularly important. Because this game can also be used as a buying and selling platform, similar to a certain cat and a certain dog. Players opening shops in the virtual world and then interacting with the real world shops will be a direction of the metaverse.

I'm sure many people have seen the movie "Ready Player One", which is something similar to that game world. Players can take adventures and become the heroes of their dreams.

You can also make a salted fish without risking it inside. Even if it's a mess, no one will accuse you.

Therefore, this story does not have the concept of the player's professional division of labor in it from the beginning. There's no such limit, if you pile up your health, you can make a meat shield. If you refine archery, you can be an archer. There are "achievement rewards", but there are no career title restrictions.

Game novels are also a process of exploring the game world, and the above 2000 words are a small explanation of the content of the last 20 chapters. After that, it will continue to advance, so I won't spoil it in advance. Thank you all for your support!

This is a novel with artificial intelligence at the heart of the story.

AI novels are usually divided into: human perspective and robot perspective. The latter is relatively rare.

And because the first half of the story mainly takes place in the virtual world, the protagonist will appear more decisive.

I know that many of my readers are my regular readers, thank you for bookmarking. I'll try to update. Fist clench!

I try to tell the story as fast-paced and relaxed as possible. But our novels are certainly hot-blooded! The word count is slowly accumulating now, which is a bit meaty, and everyone is welcome to kill it from the bookshelf.

Everyone is welcome to discuss the plot in the comment circle, and the game company will soon start interfering in the evolution of NPCs. It was as if a big hand from outside the universe pressed down on Li Wu, the little ant.
