Chapter 319 The Final Test Speed
Under the strong request of Jessica and other scientists, this interstellar expedition ended prematurely after just one day. The Optical Axis hastily collected basic information about this galaxy and launched The hyperdrive begins its return to the Valiant.
Wang Zhifan expected that alien artificial intelligence would be taken seriously by scientists, but he did not expect that they would take it seriously to such an extent that they would directly drop everything on hand, which made him a little surprised. Unexpected.
"Good guys, those people are discussing cutting-edge scientific theories around Hope again...I don't understand a thing at all..."
At this moment, the Guangshu reconnaissance ship is on its way back. During the super-light voyage of the mothership, Wang Zhifan saw all the scientists and even some The cabin staff were all gathered around the alien artificial intelligence, where they were intensely discussing esoteric knowledge. He, who was relatively illiterate in comparison, couldn't fit in at all, so he had to sneak aside and be in a daze. After all, everyone couldn't be safer in this situation. , he, the security captain, has absolutely no tasks to do.
"It is impossible to practice the Wind and Thunder Stepping on the Sky technique in such a place... Practicing the Great Dream Sword Sutra while sleeping? Why don't you stop telling fortunes..."
Being bored, Wang Zhifan prepared to practice the technique, but in Before that, he planned to do something he wanted to do yesterday while a certain ball was not around, which was to give hope to the alien artificial intelligence and explore its details.
Don't look at the fact that when he just returned to the Guangshu yesterday, he patted his chest and promised that he hoped to be a good partner who is harmless to humans and animals. In fact, it is impossible for him to simply believe in a being who has known him for two days, or even This being is not yet a person.
"Hexagram of Destiny, tell me whether the hope is sincere cooperation, does it have any conspiracy?"
After a while, Wang Zhifan, who returned to his cubicle, took out his The epic props and calculations began.
Perhaps the destiny hexagram book was not suitable for calculating the fate of an artificial intelligence. It made Wang Zhifan wait for more than a minute before showing the result, which almost made him think that the calculation failed.
"It's true and false, it seems something but not something."
When these eight words appeared on the hexagram book, Wang Zhifan almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, and couldn't help but complain in his heart:
“What is your calculation result? Say It means you didn’t say it!”
But after thinking about it, he realized that the statement in the Tianming Gua Shu was not without information. It at least showed that the alien artificial intelligence was not as innocent as it appeared, or more or less. Shaodu contains some hidden intentions.
"It seems that I have to pay more attention to it in the next dungeon time and not let it interfere with my completion of the task."
After thinking about the results of the Tianming Gua Book for a while, Wang Zhifan put this matter deep in his heart. At that time, he began to practice the Dream Sword Sutra while sleeping.
Although he looks like he doesn't care about anything while sleeping, in fact, the outside situation has always been in his awareness, especially hoping that he will pay more attention to it.
But fortunately, the crew of the Guangshu are also monitoring Hope and prohibiting this guy from touching any equipment of the spacecraft, so he doesn't have to worry too much about anything going wrong.
All in all, this expedition yielded an alien artificial intelligence, which was a very unexpected thing for Wang Zhifan and others. Everyone supports taking in this valuable existence, but what exactly should be done to it? There are still some differences of opinion.
In the blink of an eye, another day passed. The Guangshu reconnaissance ship had exited the super-light speed navigation state and arrived at the Brave mothership in a regular sailing manner. Then, before everyone got off the ship, they reported to the mothership's senior management the reason for their early return. , reported to the superiors that they had discovered this alien artificial intelligence that they hoped could communicate.
Similar to other people on the Guangshu, Wang Zhifan thought that there would definitely be some troubles at this stage, such as high-level officials coming to take Hope into custody, arguing with them, and severely criticizing them for ending the inspection mission without authorization. , but the result was completely different from what they expected.
In fact, less than five minutes after they reported, the most senior person on the Brave, that is, the chief, came to the anchorage in person to meet them, which made them feel flattered. After all, the chief is a busy man and seldom To see him react so quickly was as if he had been prepared in advance.
What makes Wang Zhifan even more puzzled is that after meeting them, the chief of the brave scientific research ship, apart from chatting with Hope and a few scientists at the beginning, later changed his focus. got to him and offered to talk to him privately.
"Chief, are you looking for me to know the origin of hope? Everything I know has been written in the report, and I have nothing to hide."
At this time, Wang Zhifan had already arrived with the chief in an office on the Brave Mothership. There were currently only two of them here, and not even the clone guards were brought in. Wang Zhifan felt that this copy NPC had something to say, so he raised his doubts. .
“No, Captain Wang, I’m not looking for you to ask about Hope’s situation... Although it’s a bit strange to say this, my understanding of Hope should be much deeper than yours.”
As the chief said, he sat behind his desk, took out two cigars from a beautiful box, and raised his hand to give one to Wang Zhifan.
"Sorry, I don't smoke this."
Wang Zhifan has no habit of smoking and immediately waved his hand to refuse. At the same time, his eyes were fixed on this NPC that had made him feel strange very early on. I hope he can explain what he just said.
However, the chief was not in a hurry to explain. He first lit a cigar for himself and took a puff, and then slowly said:
"Captain Wang, in fact, I was once a player just like you. You should understand what I’m talking about.”
“You’re a player too?”
Wang Zhifan's face changed slightly when he heard this. He glanced over the whole body of this middle-aged white man, but could not see any characteristics of him as a player. For example, his life breath, in Wang Zhifan's perception, There is nothing supernormal, unlike many senior players of supernormal games, who are basically little supermen.
"I am no longer a player, I just used to be...and the price of getting rid of this identity is to become my current state, an almost ordinary middle-aged man." The chief continued to explain, his eyes seemed to flash. After passing some distant thoughts, I seemed to be recalling something.
"No, there is no exit mechanism after becoming a player! You are lying!"
Wang Zhifan did not choose to believe the other party even if he saw that he did not look like he was lying, because with all the information he knew All show that players of extraordinary games can only move forward and not backward. Otherwise, ordinary players who have been tortured by the dungeon would have already chosen to quit and run away. How could there be so many people dying in the dungeon?
"Haha... You don't know that it's just because you haven't been exposed to it long enough and you haven't reached Lv100 yet... When you reach Lv100, you will know that there is a final test waiting for everyone. , and cannot complete the result of this final test, except for the permanent Death, it is also possible for me to live an ordinary life in the copy world at the cost of losing all power, and serve its operation like an NPC..."
The chief's deep voice revealed something The desolation and unwillingness made Wang Zhifan more and more inclined to believe that he might not be lying.
"What do you want to say when you come to me? Is it just to tell me that you once reached level 100? I don't think this has anything to do with my current mission."
Although his heart was slightly touched, Wang Zhifan still I have to say that I was confused by this person and didn't know what he wanted to do.
"I'm looking for you to help you, because you have the hope of liberating all the worlds."
The chief thought for a moment before speaking slowly.
“That existence is carrying out its plan in countless universes. If no one can pass the final test, then it will affect more and more worlds at all costs, and there will be more and more people. The more creatures in the world die innocently... Maybe you think this is nothing like I did at the beginning, but please understand The world will become more cruel and harsh as we go further... Just like the hope you just brought, it is actually one of the mechanical disaster seeds in this universe. The creatures in this universe have been destroyed many times by those wandering disasters. , it’s just that the existence likes this kind of torture drama, constantly letting the tragedy repeat..."
The middle-aged white man smoking a cigar revealed quite novel information to Wang Zhifan, pointing out that Chaofan Games was not a good thing and should be ended, and Wang Zhifan was the candidate with this potential.
“What on earth are you talking about? I can’t feel the same way as you! Extraordinary games bring some dangers, but it also brings unprecedented experiences to many people and gives them unimaginable power. It is not a completely despicable and cruel existence!"
Wang Zhifan raised his voice! Yin refutes the chief's words, because he personally feels that the emergence of extraordinary games has brought him more benefits than disadvantages. He currently does not have much dislike for this thing. He even looks forward to something interesting every morning when he wakes up in the real world. The copy is waiting for him, which means that he does not think that the extraordinary game needs to be ended.
"Haha... Really... Your reaction now is exactly the same as mine. At that time, I was also very successful, thinking that I could gradually control everything and even dominate the extraordinary game... But the final test woke me up! Let me understand that we are just its playthings! When it is satisfied, it will give us some meager benefits, so that we can be motivated to continue to perform for it! But true freedom is never like this! Break without limit Bad! The world I was born in once had a very bright future! There were many intelligent races that hoped to reach the peak of prosperity and civilization! But now they are all extinct! Only a few descendants who grew up in the ruins thought they were the chosen ones! Civilization! But they don’t know that they are just meals left for natural disasters!”
The chief’s emotions were very excited, as if the emotions he had accumulated for a long time had finally exploded, and they all flooded Wang Zhifan. body.
Wang Zhifan looked at this guy's excited face, which was very different from the past, and vaguely understood where his hatred for extraordinary games came from.
Because he remembered that in the real world, the originally peaceful world was being eaten away by pieces of gray areas. From the moment the gray areas appeared, it was destined to gradually become unrecognizable. And who can deny that the Gray Realm is not caused by the extraordinary game?
Perhaps all the complacent players in the real world do not realize that one day, their homes will become a copy of the disaster.
"Were you really a player? And you were born in this universe? You were not a human being at the beginning?"
Finally, Wang Zhifan made this inquiry based on what the chief said, otherwise he would not be able to understand him Why is the pain so realistic?
"That was a long time ago... Now I have long been familiar with this new identity in reincarnations. You can regard me as a human being, a human being from a different dimension than you."
< br>After venting for a while, the chief finally regained his composure. He took another puff of cigarette, answered Wang Zhifan’s question, and then got to the point:
“When you entered this dungeon, I noticed you through monitoring, otherwise I wouldn’t have shown up to meet you when you completed the first small task, and then guided you to use the fastest method. way to trigger the follow-up mission...but I didn't expect that you could obtain the disaster seeds at all. It is actually not something you should be exposed to in this copy. It should also be inaccessible... The occurrence of this abnormality shows that your ability is very strong, enough to carry my expectations for you... So, you who are valued by the older generation of losers, please accept my last help and leave this place! The world is dominated and destroyed! Go to other universes! Complete the final test as soon as possible! Every dimension will be saved by you! Every universe will forever remember your name!"
Wang Zhifan listened to the chief behind the desk in front of him speaking these words impassionedly while operating the computer in front of him! What, before he could figure out how this person was going to help him, he suddenly found a familiar light screen flashing in front of his eyes.
