Forces of Temptation

When the thinking advances to this step, many previously buried undercurrents are detonated in one go.

Yuan Mingqing said: "That period of time was our 'observation period'."

"At the beginning, before the dungeon was abandoned, in order to see more biological wonders, the game administrator accelerated the time flow of the dungeon. What you call Cambrian, Jurassic , Cretaceous period, until the cataclysm occurred and the copy was destroyed, in our timeline, only two years have passed."

"After receiving the instruction to discard the copy, in order to reduce energy consumption, the game administrator lowered the time flow rate in the copy to a constant value."

"This also leads to the fact that when we discovered your existence, our world had just passed 1200 cosmic years. But you have passed a million years."

Nanzhou can probably understand what this time difference means.

"Eternal Day" created by cartoonist NEVER, as a medium-length comic, the time span of the virtual world has reached more than ten years, including Nan Zhou's birth, to being bitten by his sister in the neck The whole process.

But the serialization time of comics in the real world is only two years.

However, in places no one knows about, Nanzhou really spent those years.

"After discovering you, the researchers adjusted the time flow rate of the two worlds to synchronize at the first time, so as to avoid allowing you to gain time for development when we were conducting investigations - after all, you The crooked hit is connected to the copy world through data, and the engineer surnamed Cen can hide this secret for a year or two, but paper can never hold fire."

Otherwise, we'd be in trouble."

"In that year and a half, we put together all the information you have developed so far; at the same time, we are also watching you."

"Then we found something more troublesome."

"You have achieved the upgrade and update of the individual version by yourself, and it is no longer a copy creature that we could control in the past."

Jiang Fang: "But you still tried manipulation."

Yuan, Ming and Qing nodded: "Of course."

Jiang Fang: "You guys used the game "Gravity" itself."

Yuan Mingqing nodded again: "Yes, we have to sample and test your basic situation. "Universal Gravity" is a data world created by you humans. For us, the It's very convenient... a free test suit."

"After a few simple data plundering tests, we successfully achieved data interception. Through lottery, 300 game players were randomly selected and detained in the system as experimental subjects..."

Jiang Fang recalled the occasional bug that he couldn't quit while boosting, and the tingling of his temples caused by abnormal equipment, and lowered his eyes.

Nanzhou, who was sitting beside him, thought he was in a bad mood and wanted to grab his hand.

But his wrist was held by Jiang Fang in advance.

Dry and warm palms pressed against his wrist veins.

Jiang Fang smiled and looked at him: "Look, don't I have a chance to see you now?"

Yuan, Ming and Qing were obviously choked.

…Making these two gods meet should be the biggest failure of the high-dimensional people in the entire experiment.

After a moment of relief, he continued: "...We haven't changed the dungeon mode in "Gravity", in order to test the average value of your physical strength and intelligence. However, in order to obtain the The data is more realistic, and we adjusted the somatosensory system and the death system."

This kind of murderer's deeds, Yuan Ming and Qing Dynasty said it was right.

Li Yinhang felt uncomfortable for a while, but seeing no emotional reaction from the two bosses, she swallowed her dissatisfaction.

In the eyes of people in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, they are indeed a group of inferior creatures who are weaker than them and can have fun at will.

After pondering for a while, Nan Zhou got the meaning of Yuan Mingqing: "In the beginning, you just wanted to test the degree of control over the existing creatures in this dungeon, and didn't want to have fun?"

"Yes." Yuan Mingqing affirmed Nanzhou's speculation, "However, the performance of the testers in the game is indeed entertaining and ornamental. This just meets our needs, directly As a result, the top management upgraded and revised the "Gravity" plan."

Nanzhou: "Turn 'exploring human beings' into a 'play project'?"

Yuan Ming and Qing Dynasties: "No, it should be said 'reset copy'. Because this is our playground."

Li Yinhang suddenly realized, his hands and feet also became numb and chills: "At 6 pm on February 5th, we saw the sentence 'sun.exe did not respond' on the sun..."

Yuan Mingqing: "We did it. We deliberately used different human languages ​​so that each of you can understand, and Windows 16 also happens to be your widely used computer system, so you A warning understood by the current state of the art. This is a humanitarian reminder, to remind you that the world you are in is a copy, and to inform you to prepare for it."

Li Yinhang understands.

Why did a large-scale accident in "Gravity" cause hundreds of people to fall into a coma and shock, but a few months later, on February 5, the sun showed a strange phenomenon.

…Because the high-dimensional creatures have aroused their strong yearning for entertainment in the barren spiritual world in the process of observing human beings.

The time difference between these two events directly caused many people not to connect the "Gravity" accident with this event at all.

When something goes wrong with the sun, there is an absurd speculation that is all the rage: "It's not possible that aliens are maintaining the earth online".

Who would have thought that this guess is the most factual?

It's just that there's something wrong with cause and effect.

That's not maintenance at all, it's a warning.

Yuan Mingqing continued: "The hundreds of copies that come with the "Gravity" test suit are definitely not enough. After the testers provided us with enough data, we began to try to add some New elements that test the limits of humanity."

Jiang Fang sneered: "The new element, refers to the new copy and PVP mode?"

"Yes." Yuan Mingqing readily admitted, "But as the test progressed, we found many limitations."

"Simply put, because you are no longer creatures we can control, we cannot plan your path of action and limit your thinking ability. Your high degree of autonomy determines "Gravity" The official service can only be a spectator match.”

"After determining the game form, we created some small space-time channels, pulled players into safe spots, distributed you some props, gave you some abilities, and then put you into us In the pre-designed massive dungeons, let you decide whether to win or lose, and the audience will conduct side-by-side games and bet on which team will win in the end.”

Jiang Fang asked: "So, the reason why there are no old people and children in the game...?"

Yuan, Ming and Qing replied: "We don't use children and the elderly as players, because we have entered into an entertainment treaty based on the actual situation of your evolution that game characters must not be younger than 18 years old and higher than 60 years old. ."

"In this way, players who are not suitable for high-intensity games can be screened from physiological conditions, and also meet our entertainment regulations there."

Jiang Fang snorted.

In the annihilation of human nature, there are still some specious humanizations.

Nanzhou's ability to focus on key points is unparalleled: "You have a 'treaty'."

Yuan, Ming and Qing were also surprised by Nanzhou's keenness: "Yes. Just like you humans planning games, you also need to set the ultimate goal of the game, the means to achieve this goal, and the final reward. ? Before making the game, we must submit a detailed plan in advance to formulate the relevant contract for this copy."

"Especially, "Gravity" is a game with a competitive nature, and there will be a first place in the end. Since there is a first place, there must be rewards, and the nature of the game can be satisfied. Game logic can only be established."

"This is an 'iron rule' that the game world cannot violate. It is a prerequisite for the establishment of the game. Even if we are the people who make the rules, we must abide by it."

“…let me make an analogy.”

"You should have discovered that, if you set your original world as world line A, each copy and safety point in the "Gravity" game is set as world line B, and our world is set as world line Line C, for the convenience of watching on the C world line, the time flow rate of B and C is the same frequency, and the flow rate of A is slowed down. Therefore, five days have passed for A, and more than half a year has passed for B. "

"This is also pre-set, it is a time class 'iron rule' that cannot be changed. So this determines that the game party cannot go back in time to modify what has happened in the copy and safe point, This is also to ensure the fairness of the game."

Thinking about this layer, Li Yinhang was refreshed and looked at Nanzhou: "That is to say—"

Nanzhou responded: "As long as we can win, our wish will be fulfilled."

This is also the reason why Yuan, Ming and Qing would rather risk betrayal of Gaowei and must join them.

In this way, the problems encountered in the copy of [Sand, Sand, Sand] will be solved.

When they initially set the "iron rule", they did not set the item "dungeon creatures cannot be stored in the warehouse".

Probably because there is no such provision in the original copy of Gravity.

In order to save Sun Guojing, Nan Zhou accidentally loaded the dungeon boss into the warehouse.

You can imagine the ignorance of the game party at that time.

Unfortunately, within the framework of the game, they can neither adjust the time flow rate, nor forcibly break the pre-set rules. They made a deal to redeem the boss.

In addition, the official can manipulate the time under certain conditions.

The [Evil Fall] dungeon is a low-level dungeon made by the game party by capturing the scenes and characters of Tyrande five years ago.

This means that they have the data archive of the earth, and they can use the archive to achieve a true "rewind in time".

The frog hands that appeared in [Fear of the Full Moon] and the incomprehensible words in the [Brain Invasion] library were all explained.

This indicates that players from other dimensions have appeared here.

That may have been the relics left by the playthings of high-dimensional creatures.

As for the NPCs that make up the copy in [Brain Invasion], it is also an adaptation based on fairy tales circulating on the earth.

This proves that the influence is mutual.

After discussing their thoughts together, the group of four fell into a long silence.

Yuan Mingqing thought he had shown enough sincerity, so he wanted to get their feedback: "You...what else do you want to ask?"

Seeing that they remained silent, Yuan, Ming and Qing were faintly anxious.

In order to express my position, have I confided too much in one go?

What if they can't accept who they are?

If this hits their motivation badly, will the win be affected?

Thinking of this, Yuan Mingqing held back his anxiety and carefully probed: "You... can't accept it? Although it is a game character—"

Listening to what he said, Li Yinhang looked at him in surprise and said, "What happened to the game characters? I haven't seen anyone open to us since I was born, and there is only one life available. A car accident may hang, and a high fever may hang, which is very precious."

Yuan Mingqing was stunned to hear that she accepted her identity so calmly.

…He thought of something that happened not long ago.

Before the end of the thousand-person chase, Nan Zhou, who had already secured the victory, was questioned by the world channel.

Some people questioned why they should trust "The Ark" instead of "Adam".

At that time, Nan Zhou replied: "Because we have Li Yinhang."

When Tang Song saw this response on the World Channel, he sneered: "The answer is wrong. It's just a waste, holding it like a secret weapon."

During the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, they did not understand why Nanzhou would raise Li Yinhang like this, and he smiled.

But now he seems to understand.

Li Yinhang has an average IQ and an average force, but she has a pragmatic and tenacious human mind and soul.

Live first.

Only by living will you have another chance.

It is because of this that the struggle of human beings in the face of death is particularly interesting.

Jiang Fang leaned back, folded his arms and asked the two off-site personnel who had a telepathic device and listened to the whole conversation: "Did you hear it?"

…Lin Zhisong was silent for a long time.

He was so shocked that he could not speak.

Yi Shuige let out a helpless laugh after closing her eyes for a long time.

He finally understood what the "miracle" was in the mouth of the crazy vice-president Cen.

The passage leading to "Eternal Day" and to the Nanzhou is indeed a miracle among miracles, and a disaster among disasters.
