"Virus?" As soon as I heard it, I was happy in my heart. Is there a virus in "The Divine Realm"?

"That's right." Ivan sighed slightly, "There is no such thing as a perfect system. In the final analysis, "The Divine Realm" is also a world built by 0 and 1, and the existence of the virus is also a matter of course. ”

"According to my understanding, a virus is a relatively perfect, delicate and rigorous code, organized in a strict order. It is completely different from those garbled and random instructions that are generated due to some special reasons, such as sudden power outages or occasional errors such as these. Viruses can take up the free space of the system, reduce the efficiency of the system, and even destroy the system. I thought for a moment, then added, "I guess you're talking about the latter." ”

Ivan shook his head: "Not as you think. At the beginning, "The Divine Realm" was a specific experimental vehicle for the Harran Project, and we carried it out in the line of perfectionism. We envision it to be a large machine running at full power with no superfluous parts and every part working 100 percent. We have rules in place and are committed to keeping everything within the limits of our mission. However, it soon became clear that this path was wrong. ”

"Wrong?"

"Yes. Perfection is only a relative existence, not an absolute existence. Ivan smiled, "If 'The Divine Realm' is really perfect, then there is no need for it to evolve, because it can't become 'better', and this is contrary to the trajectory of human development." There is no end to the process of human evolution, and if there is an end, it can only be a moment of human extinction. Moreover, everything is limited by rules, then there are no variables, everything has a future that can be judged, and that world will be an extremely boring world. It's not what we need. What we need is a world of infinite possibilities, and we can tolerate even the slightest flaws in this regard. ”

"So, the Divine Realm is actually an imperfect world." I summarized it for him.

"Yes, not perfectly. It has many shortcomings, some of which we can deliberately ignore, some of which we deliberately create, and some of which we have not foreseen and cannot be repaired for a period of time. Ivan turned his head and locked his gaze on me, "Like, you." ”

"Me?" I don't understand why Ivan would suddenly pull me out of the single coach.

"Yes, you, you are the most interesting existence in "The Divine Realm", maybe you don't realize it yourself." A wave of frenzy suddenly appeared in Ivan's eyes, "Don't you feel like you remember your experience after entering the "Divine Realm", as if the rule thing didn't exist for you at all?" ”

"Really?" I lowered my head and recalled my extraordinary experiences in "The Divine Realm", and couldn't help but nod, "It seems to be true." ”

"Guo Yi, look." Ivan pointed out the window, "Every existence in this world is a string of code, a string of code that executes according to a certain rule. You look at the tree, it grows 0.004 mm taller per second, and in the spring it sprouts and grows new leaves. The creek stops flowing from October to December due to the freezing of the headwater. That's the rule. I can predict right now what these trees and creeks will be like this time next year. But you're different, I can't know what you're doing, what you're thinking, how you're reacting. The unknown world is the most wonderful. ”

"As long as it's a player, it's impossible to predict." I don't like people to treat me like a guinea pig in the lab.

"Ordinary players?" Ivan scoffed, "They're just humble beings within the rules. Ordinary fertilizer for "The Divine Realm". God's foil. ”

I smiled softly, I don't have much to say about a perfectionist and a genius theorist.

"Let's get back to business." Ivan sat back in his rocking chair and shook it regularly as he said, "Actually, this long-term task you're doing now is one of several emergency backup plans that the system uses to clean up the garbage. In layman's terms, it's antivirus. With the help of the player's hands, the system removes the slag of programs that the system thinks are outdated, harmful, and shouldn't be anyway. Strange to say, I don't know why the system singled you out of the crowd to complete this task. In my eyes, you are the biggest virus in "The Divine Realm". ”

Perhaps it is in response to the old Chinese saying. Take a hair of the dog that bit you. ”

"Is there such an old saying in China?" Ivan's eyes lit up, "It's very appropriate, it's really appropriate, and it's used on you now." Hehe, I'm just a trivial stopover in the middle of your quest series, and I'm going to give you instructions on the next step in continuing the quest. You may have a little difficulty in the next step, but of course there is some of my subjectivity here. You must kill the blue dragon Nordigos and bring its head to Blanc Khan, the Black Hand Chief of the Orc City. Then follow his arrangement. ”

Kill the blue dragon? I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on my head: "Dude, you think too highly of me." Can you change to a simple task, such as retrieving her missing little white cat for Aunt Xie Lan or something. ”

"I don't think this trivial task will help test the gold content of a supervirus. Killing an adult blue dragon is what you should do. Ivan rejected my attempt to mediate in a categorical tone, and at the same time issued an eviction order, "You have received the task, go out first." I have something to say to your companions, go and call Schilling in. ”

Damn, do you think you're in charge of your territory, acting like the boss, dumping me on such a crazy task, and calling me?

Hmph, I gave him a blank look, turned around and went downstairs, and hooked his finger at Xi Lin, who was standing in the corner in a daze: "The surname Xi, it's about you, the freak above told you to go up." ”

Schilling suddenly came back to his senses at my call, and instead of rushing upstairs, he leaned his head over and asked me, "What did that guy just say to you?" ”

I guess I won't let you know what I'm saying in my life. However, I did not want to simply throw him a no-comment, and remembering Ivan's deceitful appearance, I suddenly had a little evil thought in my mind. I pretended to be shy and lowered my head, and my voice was as cowardly as possible: "Actually, I didn't say anything." The weird uncle just asked me about my measurements and some other small questions. ”

Schilling looked suspicious: "He doesn't tell you about the mission, and asks you what you're doing?" ”

"You should know, the older you get, the stronger your desire for that kind of thing becomes."

"What kind of thing is that?"

"Oh, people are so shy. It's the dual cultivation of yin and yang. ”

Schilling seemed to be happy to realize: "That real NPC sexually harassed you? ”

Hooked. I peeked at Schilling and saw that Schilling was a little angry, and I couldn't help but smile in my heart, but I still pretended to be pitiful on my face: "There is no way, in order to complete the task, it is inevitable to sacrifice the hue." Fortunately, he didn't touch any key places. ”

"He touched you?" Schilling's brows tightened together, "There is no reason for it." Let me go up and reason with him. ”

After saying that, he went up to the little attic in a rage. Soon I heard Schilling's roar and the sound of a fierce fight. Oops, I'm not a little too bad. No way, abusing Schilling is the biggest enjoyment of the game right now, whether it's abusing it with my own hands or borrowing someone else's hand, the pleasure is unparalleled.

Half an hour later, I set out on my way home. I rode the white tiger in front of me in high spirits, while behind me was a blue-skinned and swollen Schilling lying languidly on his big stupid elephant and chirping.

"Turtledove, why are you lying to me? I had to be brought back to life by high-level magic. Schilling puffed out his cheeks and complained, "I really didn't expect that Ivan to be so thin and weak, and he could use the highest level magic of each department casually." If it weren't for the fact that my gear was more or less magically resistant, I might have had to get a resurrection point back. ”

I smiled: "Schilling, as a man, you have to learn to be strong, a man without a scar on his body is not a man. ”

"I'm not talking about injury, I'm not afraid of getting hurt, but it's too bad to be beaten by someone who didn't come." Schilling expressed serious dissatisfaction with my answer.

Naturally, I didn't even need to dismiss this kind of protest, and just ignored it. However, after all, it was my little evil thought that he had to suffer a meal of flesh and skin, and it was still necessary to comfort him. I stopped suddenly, turned my head and asked Schilling softly, "Schilling, do you care about me very much?" I just said that, and you are so excited to fight with others? ”

"Do you care? Of course...... Don't ......," Schilling's expression seemed to be a little unnatural, "People just resolutely follow the eight-character motto of the paladin, and do justice when they encounter evil things." I didn't expect to touch such a big mold. ”

Looking at his indifferent and somewhat indignant face, I don't know why, I have an inexplicable snickering joy in my heart. I smiled at what I thought was a gentle smile, "Schilling, I appreciate your sense of justice. ”

"As a paladin, protecting his princess is a matter of course."

"It's so meaty. But then again, a princess would be a little shabby if she only had a knight to protect her. ”

"You should say it the other way around, wouldn't it be a little chilly if a knight only protects one princess?"

“……”

"What's the matter, turtledove, didn't you eat something bad just now, your face is so ugly."

“……”

"Don't, turtledove, you're abusing the seriously wounded."
