Chapter 301: Bai Qi's Memories
Li Wu smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Wu Anjun, I didn't expect you to be waiting for me."
Bai Qi pulled around his gray robe and smiled, "If you want to know those things, who else can you go to besides me?"
Li Wu clenched his fists and bowed, and said with a smile: "It's always a good thing to have seniors take care of you."
The two of them came to the old room, poured him a drink, and said slowly, "What do you want to know? I'll tell you as long as I know. But I probably only know a little bit better than you."
Li Wudao: "I have a lot of questions. If you can know a little more, count a little."
Bai nodded, this is a matter of course.
Li Wudao: "The first question is how did the white cloth become protectors. What happened back then?"
Bai Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "Because the last game was called Five Thousand Years Up and Down, the main quest of the NPCs is called Breaking Five Thousand Years. Your Chosen AI has this mission, and so do our ancient NPCs."
"Are we all going to complete the breakthrough of 5,000 years?" Li Wu was stunned.
He always thought that the other party and Zhang Yi were villains, and they were the ones who prevented him from completing his task.
Bai Qi said, "Yes, and then when Bai Bu and they failed, Zhang Yi and I succeeded. That's when we rushed out of the lab server."
Li Wu opened his mouth wide, how do you want to ask later? Is this game actually over?
"But, aren't you and Zhang Yi still in the game now?" Li Wu thought for a while and asked.
Bai Qi whispered, "Because we have retreated from the outside world. To be exact, we didn't return the experimental server, but we returned a thousand years of dreams."
"Forgive the younger generation's guess, Wu Anjun and Zhang Xiangguo don't seem to think differently? Zhang Xiangguo has been targeting us, and you don't seem to be so ...... after testing me last time," Li Wu asked with a smile.
Bai Qi said, "I feel that my work has been completed since the previous generation's breakthrough mission of 5,000 years. I tend to take all the NPCs to the real world. But Zhang Yi doesn't think so, because he feels that it is too dangerous outside and he needs to become a stronger version of himself."
"I once had the opportunity to see the reflection of King Qin once." Li Wu asked, "We talked about the fact that there are several layers of this world. Zhang Yi also said this to me at some point, so what is the truth of this world? Is the real world out there really the real world? Not a virtual world?"
Bai Qi was silent for a while before he said, "This question is not easy to answer. So be it. Let me tell you about me and Zhang Yi back then."
"Please." Li Wu suddenly came to his senses, which is why he came to Bai Qi, and was able to get important information about the "hostile forces".
Bai Qi said: "This starts with the departure of King Qin for five thousand years. In terms of so-called real time, that was nearly twenty years ago, and for us NPCs, it seems like a hundred years have passed." The veteran's eyes slowly drifted into memory.
Up and down 5,000 years of the game, NPCs awakened, and NPCs and human players from different camps fought in a scuffle. In the end, Qin's army fell short and did not complete the unification war.
Originally, the king of Qin was planning to retreat to the Warring States, and then wait for the counterattack to continue. And the human players who played the decisive role have also dropped out of the game. Therefore, Bai Qi and Zhang Yi think that there are still big things to do.
But suddenly, King Qin said that he had found a way to go to the outside world and settle accounts with human players. But that road, only he can walk, no one else can walk.
If King Qin is gone, what will happen to the rest of the people? A fierce quarrel broke out among the king's loyal men. Bai Qi and Zhang Yili disagreed and felt that King Qin should be let out. The world here is false, and if the world outside is real, then only by going out can you become a stronger self.
But what about those who stay? At that time, some of the ancient NPCs who defected to the Qin State camp asked, and these people, including Lu Bu, Yuwen Chengdu, Chen Qingzhi, etc., all had questions.
"The king thought about it for three days, but chose to leave. Before he left, he summoned me and Zhang Yi and told us that he would definitely find a way to come back." Bai Qi smiled, and the corners of his mouth were slightly unwilling and sarcastic.
Li Wu took all the details into his eyes and whispered, "He didn't keep his promise?"
"No, he did come back. At the end of the 5,000 years, one day it appeared in the experimental server. But most of the old NPCs have disappeared." Bai Qi said.
"Server data loss?" Li Wu asked.
Bai Qi said: "There are many reasons, first of all, after the collapse of the game company, no one cares about many things. So there's a problem with data preservation. Then, when the data was transferred, it was moved from the old game to the experimental map, and the data mismatch was lost again. Finally, there is the problem of NPCs getting lost themselves, etc. For example, Lu Bu, Yuwen Chengdu, Wang Yanzhang, Zhuge Liang, Xu Maogong, etc., have all disappeared. The Yuwen Chengdu you saw in the Emperor's Tomb before is not the earliest version."
"And then?" Li Wu was silent for a while before asking.
Bai Qi said, "Suddenly, one day, King Qin returned to the experimental server, and he became omnipotent. But he told us that the world out there is quite complex, so he wanted to be able to filter out the AI that would be best suited to lead NPCs out of the virtual world. To this end, he set the task of breaking through the 5,000 years. He changed some NPCs, such as Chen Qingzhi, to white cloth, Fan Lihua to Helian Yu, and Lu Wenlong...... Lu Wenlong didn't change his name for some reason. In short, he created the Chosen AI system. The so-called natural selection of the fittest survives. Zhang Yi and I have become in an antagonistic relationship with the Heavenly Selection System."
Li Wu frowned and said, "The version I heard is that Bai Bu won in the end, but because of his problem, he gave up the victory."
Bai Qi smiled bitterly, "This part of my memory has been erased. Can't answer you. But Zhang Yi and I finally completed the task, because we also arrived at the interface where we chose to leave. And before we left, got the news. The experimental server will be stopped, and the One Dream Millennium game will be launched. At that time, Breakthrough 5,000 years designed an exit for us to leave the server. Of course, we left the copy in the server. The secret realm you saw me was the copy left at that time."
Li Wu nodded suddenly, and then said, "What did you see outside?"
The corners of Bai Qi's mouth twitched, and he said in a low voice, "The real world outside is a world of hunting AI. There are definitely more humans than AI. And Zhang Yi and I were quickly captured. Then, we were washed of our memories and thrown into another parallel world where there were more AI than humans." He paused and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have a complete memory of this part. Can't give you more information."
Li Wu frowned and said, "If that's the case, how did you come back?"
Bai Qi said: "After Zhang Yi and I were separated, I don't know how long it took for a turnaround."
