Chapter 8 Letter from the Northern Kingdom

Xiao Liping was silent for a long time. "This solidified my idea that the 'world' is much more complicated than a game and cannot be just a commercial activity. I will use all resources to check its details. This afternoon, we will make an appointment

Let’s take the time to experience it for ourselves.

I think, first, this may be related to the mysterious incident of a large number of scientists disappearing more than 20 years ago. In China, the information related to this incident is classified as top secret, and it is difficult for me to get access to the core truth in my scope of work. For several years,

Before, we gave up on the investigation because the matter involved too much, was buried too deep, and was full of unknown dangers. The 'world' is likely to be related to it, and I will continue to investigate from now on; secondly, what I am more worried about is

, someone spied the secret of our countdown."

Gu Tie stared at him, "You mean..."

Xiao Liping nodded: "I don't think the traitor organization will be exposed. I'm afraid someone, or organization, will use different methods and come to the same conclusion, and then we will lose all the advantages of the forerunners."

"No. That string of irrational numbers is like a ghost wandering in the quantum network. It is an extreme coincidence that we caught it. From a probability perspective, it is basically impossible for it to happen again. Don't worry about it. What do you think is the point of developing a 'world'?

where?"

"They want to save mankind and regard the world as the home of human souls after the Day of Judgment?" Xiao Liping guessed.

"How to do it?"

"If they can predict the time of Judgment Day, if the final judgment is physical and within the scope of the solar system, then they can load the 'Genesis' carrying the 'world' data and human thoughts into the deep space exploration spacecraft and launch it a few years in advance.

Going out and wandering in space from now on is a much more realistic approach than interstellar immigration. It is an advanced and decisive will." Xiao Liping narrowed his eyes.

Gu Tie rubbed his temples and was silent for a few minutes. "You always think in such a dark place. I think this is unlikely. First of all, it is basically unrealistic for GTC to come to the conclusion of the countdown date through other methods; secondly, what about the discoverer?

Convince those in power that Judgment Day will come and mobilize huge resources to complete this game? Again, there are many people who want to be saviors. Can you use this silent, roundabout, and inexplicable method to save the world? Only you can think of it."

He teased.

"I can tell." Xiao Liping said. "If the 'world' will be the eternal home of mankind, then its worldview will be hedonistic, and the game will be full of beautiful scenery, splendid civilization, abundant consumables and unlimited supplies."

Exhaustive entertainment, in short, is a nursing home suitable for everyone, allowing people to indulge in it without thinking about the future. If, on the other hand, they enter a cruel world full of struggle and lack of resources, it will definitely be another world.

It’s the same thing.”

"Exactly." Gu Tie said with disdain, "You need to install a roller to raise a hamster. Fighting with the sky, the earth, and people is the most fun."

"No more words, I'm very busy. Send the syringe to my address. I'll have time after 4:30 this afternoon. Let's go in and have a look." Xiao Liping stretched out his hand to close the communication.

"You still don't understand, do you, Old Xiao?" Gu Tie glared at him, "'The World' is a real world. When we enter, we cannot choose our birthplace or role. The system will allocate a body for you to enter.

Replace the original AI personality. If the avatar dies in the game, your right to enter the 'world' will be forever deprived.

In the fantasy background of backward technology, it is frighteningly difficult for us to meet each other. Besides, how can we recognize each other inside? Maybe you are a peasant woman who cooks for Western nobles, and I am a barbarian fishing on the eastern coast. In this life,

We can’t even see each other!”

Xiao Liping ignored him and waved his hand. The image disappeared.

"Oh, by the way, I am an astrologer's apprentice. Much better than a fisherman." Gu Tie said to himself. He stretched and chirped, thinking that it would be a good idea to go back to sleep again.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard, "Is Gu Tie at home? Delivery!"

"Coming, coming!" Gu Tie muttered, put on his shoes and got out of bed, walked through the clean courtyard, opened the courtyard door, and signed for a thin registered letter from the express company salesman.

The sending address was a post office box in the Lenin District of Vladivostok, Russia. Gu Tie was a little confused and walked back to the main room while opening the envelope. Suddenly, a small stain on the corner of the back of the envelope attracted his attention.

.

"If I guessed correctly..." He patted his head, placed the envelope in front of an input lens of the projection terminal, snapped his fingers, and the enlarged pattern appeared in the air. Gu Tie called a simple password table program

, the center of the messy gray lines depicts a statue of a god with three eyes, four hands, a snake around his neck, a white bull on his feet, and a three-pronged fork according to the Fibonacci sequence.

"I knew it." Gu Tie threw the envelope aside and fell on the bed with a plop. "That lunatic is in trouble again. He wants me to wipe his butt every time." He frowned, but a word slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Smile. "——Who makes me like trouble?"

He sent two emails respectively. The first one was sent to a woman to arrange the fund operation for the next month; the second one was sent to Xiao Liping, telling him that he was about to travel far away and that this month's meeting would be held tomorrow.

Then Gu Tie turned off the terminal, dug out an old PC from the large cabinet in the west wing and connected it to the power supply. He also disassembled the rarely used simulation cabin in his house and spread the parts on the floor.

The housekeeper Lao Zhao came back from a walk at this time, hung the birdcage on the pomegranate tree, and asked in his unbreakable Hebei accent: "Master, what are you doing again? You have made such a mess in the upper room, you can clean it up yourself later."

Gu Tie raised his head and smiled: "You don't understand even if you tell me. If I can do it, I will be awesome."

"Not bad. Have you practiced boxing?" Lao Zhao was not interested at all.

"I didn't care, wait, wait. Look, by connecting these electrodes, you can analyze the input and output methods of the injection chip." Gu Tie showed off.

"Not bad. How about some hot noodle dumplings for lunch?" Lao Zhao made himself a pot of tea.

"I think it works." Gu Tie lay on the ground and inserted probe after probe into himself.

"That's fine." Lao Zhao yawned.
