His face was covered with a layer of mist, making it difficult to see his appearance, but from his vague outline, it could be seen that he should be a relatively handsome young man. Surprisingly, his voice was completely consistent with his appearance.
It doesn't match, and it looks a bit vicissitudes of life.
"First of all, congratulations on passing the Terminator mission world. You are about to enter the ordinary area and become a real and official adventurer. Perhaps I should say that from now on, you will truly enter the bloody city and embark on an adventure.
"
Wen Wenwen said coldly: "Perhaps you should introduce yourself first. Who are you? How did you enter the bonus space of the bloody city?"
"This question is difficult to answer. Because I have many similarities with you, but there are also some differences. And my duties stipulate that I can say some things and some things I cannot say. This makes me don't know how to speak for a while.
.After all, there are not many opportunities for bloody cities to happen like today. In fact, this is the first time since I became a space manager."
Space manager? Everyone looked at each other.
Shen Yi suddenly said: "You are also an adventurer, right? What you are doing now is just like one of those novice instructors, or a barmaid, or a store salesperson. It is an urban publishing job?"
The space manager let out a hearty laugh: "You can understand it this way, but it is slightly different."
Shen Yi immediately said: "Of course, your job seems to be much more advanced. You can freely enter and exit the adventurer reward space, which directly affects the operation of the mission world. What I don't understand is, why does Bloody City set up this kind of job?"
"Oh, I can tell you this answer. Let me put it this way, Blood City is an independent world with its own rules. The authority of the rules is like the constitution of a country, sacred, majestic, and unshakable.
But we all know that there are no rules in the world that are without loopholes, and things will always change as time goes by. This requires someone to assess the situation and fill the loopholes, just like the law also needs law enforcers. I am responsible for this part of the work
, my mission is to ensure that the core meaning of urban rules is sacrosanct."
"You mean, you are the law enforcement agency in the bloody city?" Wen Wen couldn't believe her ears.
"Yes, but it's different. There is no privilege in doing this. You are completely equal to other adventurers who are engaged in work."
Hong Lang started scratching his head: "I've been on Earth for a long time, and I really didn't know that the government and civilians could be equal."
Everyone laughed at the same time.
Although the name of space manager is resounding, in essence, it is still just a job.
In the bloody city, no one can possess and abuse privileges.
"That's right, but not everyone can do this. It has very special requirements. Don't worry, don't worry that I will betray your secrets. Unless there is an accident, you will not have any chance to see me in the future.
The man laughed again: "But this is not what we want to communicate now. If I reveal more about my problems to you, then I will violate the city's rules. Let's talk about this mission."
Well, Shen Yi. To be honest, you have brought me some trouble, some trouble that I don’t like very much. I must communicate with you without revealing more information as much as possible without violating urban principles."
"The trouble you are talking about I caused is the fact that I tested the city?"
The space manager sighed: "No, that's not it. Testing the city does not violate the rules of the bloody city. Any adventurer can test the city in his own way. Those rules themselves are semi-public and semi-confidential. Just when you While testing the city, you must also accept the test of the city."
Shen Yi sneered: "You mean to block our memories, let us break into traps, and increase the difficulty of the task. This can be considered a normal test?"
"...No, that is not a test. In fact, you have already guessed the formal test. It is the hidden task. It is not difficult for you."
"Then tell me what trouble I caused you?"
The space manager sighed: "You should not study the manufacturing technology of the Terminator privately. As I said, I am the guardian of the urban rules, and your behavior has brought us trouble."
"Are you saying that my research on Terminator manufacturing technology violated urban rules?"
"Things are more complicated than that... Let me put it this way, according to the rules of Bloody City, there are only three ways to bring back any item in the mission world. One is the formal reward method. The other is the approved special props or methods. The third is Someone with special authority."
"But on the other hand, there is another rule in the city: any adventurer can learn how to strengthen himself in the mission world."
"In addition, Bloody City's definition of power is: knowledge is also a part of power and can exist as a reward. These rules were originally very simple, and there were no problems until you appeared... Shen Yi."
Shen Yi suddenly understood: "Does Bloody City regard the Terminator's manufacturing technology as a type of enhancement and lists it as part of the reward system, so it is essentially an item that can only be brought back through the above three ways? .”
"Yes, from this aspect, you cannot bring back manufacturing technology."
"The problem is that the city stipulates that any adventurer can learn how to strengthen himself in the mission world, and I learned it on my own. Considering this aspect, is it reasonable?"
"...Yes. This rule was originally used to allow you to learn combat skills from some strong men in the mission world. Of course, you can also learn some unsystematic and small amounts of knowledge, but no one has ever used it to study a complete set of Terminators. Technology... I have to admit that you are a mechanical genius, Shen Yi, you can actually find out how to make them from the finished products, you are the first to do it."
"So a contradiction arises. If I are allowed to take away those technologies, it will obviously violate the first rule. If I am not allowed to take them away, it will violate the second rule. This is the point of the problem, right? I made the city's rules contradict themselves."
"There are always loopholes in the rules. After all, a city is not a country. The rules it formulates are not complicated, so there must be flaws. The meaning of our existence is to ensure that these flaws will not be touched or induced."
Hong Lang and the others looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Shen Yi's imitation of Terminator production technology would lead to such a thing.
"So what happens if it's induced?"
"I don't know. But I know that if I can't stop you, I'll be derelict in my duty and my end will be very bad."
"So..." Shen Yi looked at the other party with questioning eyes.
"So I have to stop your behavior. But I don't have the authority to directly interfere with the adventurers' actions in the mission world, and I don't have the authority to modify the city rules, so the only way to solve this problem is to make the originally contradictory behavior non-contradictory. "
"So you designed for us to break into the Skynet base, and the reward is the Skynet core program chip. Since the knowledge that I copied is also in this chip, then when it is given to me as a formal reward, everything will comply with the rules. , the problem will be solved naturally?"
"Yes."
"Since Skynet has been monitoring us all the time, there is no way I would go there if I knew the inside story, so you erased part of our memory and let us ignore the risk of going to the Skynet base?"
"Yes."
"Then why don't you just erase my memory of the Terminator manufacturing technology? Isn't that simpler?"
"The memory about Terminator manufacturing technology is an intellectual enhancement for adventurers. Erasing this part of memory is equivalent to weakening you. This behavior is considered an attack in the city. I have no right to attack adventurers, so I can only erase another part of your memory that has nothing to do with your strength. Even so, I will restore your memory immediately after you enter the Skynet base to ensure that the impact on adventurers is minimized."
"So even though this loophole was closed, we almost got stuck in it."
"I must ensure that the city operates without errors. You can die in the mission, or you can complete the mission, but you cannot let the city's rules conflict with each other like now. This is the meaning of my work."
"It seems that your approach is more like you want me to die in the mission... If you let a first-level adventurer deal with the second-level boss, you might as well attack me directly."
"……I'm very sorry."
"What I want is not to apologize. Since the city doesn't allow you to attack us, then I guess it also doesn't allow you to introduce us into a certain death environment. And letting a first-level adventurer deal with a second-level boss, I can totally understand. A fatal mission."
A wry smile appeared on the space manager's face: "Yes, that's why I made remediation."
"I don't see any remedy."
"Don't say that, you actually got a big advantage in this matter. If I hadn't lowered the difficulty of the task, how could you have defeated Skynet."
"You said you lowered the difficulty of the task?"
"Otherwise, do you think you can really deal with Skynet? If Skynet doesn't enter Marcus's body, where does it have a weakness for you to find? But I didn't expect you to actually find that weakness."
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment.
It turns out that the reason why Skynet has that extra program is that the space manager specially arranged it to reduce the difficulty. Bloody City does not allow setting up a certain death environment, so after leading Shen Yi to the base, the space manager had to do another step. Some tricks caused problems in Skynet.
It's just that the reason why he was able to find that weakness was due to his own calm thinking, but also to the guidance of the girl in white.
From the perspective of the space manager, these actions were so difficult to capture that he never thought that Shen Yi could survive...
No wonder the other party's expression is so awkward, and judging from the space manager's tone, he doesn't seem to know the existence of the girl in white...
After sorting out his thoughts, Shen Yi still said: "That doesn't seem to be the reason for you to take away my reward."
The space manager flipped his wrist, and a small chip appeared in his palm - the core program of Skynet. He asked: "Speaking of rewards, do you mean this?"
"Robbing other people's rewards, I guess this is also not allowed."
The space manager chuckled: "Shen Yi, you are a smart person, and I am not stupid either. You are asking for benefits from me, right?"
"In any case, I was plotted in this matter. Your behavior of lowering the difficulty is just a small compensation. I still reserve the right to complain to the city about you. I guess the city also has the principle of fairness, which cannot be violated. "Shen Yi didn't mind at all when the other party pointed out his intentions, but the anger on his face gradually disappeared and turned into a smile.
"...Okay, I will make it up to you...you guy." The space manager looked helpless.
"Before that, you'd better return that thing to me." Shen Yi pointed to the chip in the space manager's hand.
The main program of Tianwang can be said to be Shen Yi's biggest gain, and he doesn't want to give up.
"Of course." The space manager looked at the chip in his hand and suddenly made a sighing sound: "Skynet... one of the best and most useless rewards in the bloody city. Its value is huge, but few people It can really play its role. Although it is rare, it can still be obtained by people, but no one who can get it can really play its role... Hehe, its value is far beyond imagination, but it can always be obtained. To perform as it should..."
Then he looked at Shen Yi: "Don't worry, you will get what you deserve, but you have to make a choice before you get it."
"What choice?"
"Skynet's intelligent program has two main functions. One is that you can use it to control high-tech instruments, but it cannot break through and control other types of intelligent brains, so its function is limited, just like the dead idiot boy."
"He's not an idiot, he's just a little autistic."
"You and I don't have to worry about this issue. Another function of Skynet, which is also the real function, is that Skynet can develop a large number of high-end weapons. Skynet is a production-type intelligence brain. Its confrontation ability is average, but its research and development capabilities are Excellent, even the most outstanding, it can develop various high-tech weapons. However, all Skynet can give you is the manufacturing technology, which means you have to find a way to manufacture it yourself... That is not easy. "
The space manager continued: "Whether it is control or research and development, there are corresponding level restrictions. This main program is double C level and can control and develop mechanical products below double C level. So now, Shen Yi, you have to Make a choice. You can choose the Skynet program that has both control and research and development capabilities. But the program will never be able to be upgraded, and its capabilities will end here. Or you can choose one of the capabilities, or control, or Research and development, programs can be upgraded. No matter which one you choose, it will be used as a reward for your hidden mission. At the same time, the perfect performance reward will be cancelled, and you will not be able to get any other rewards other than this mission."
The meaning of the space manager is very simple. If you accept the main program reward, you will not get any other additional rewards. In addition, the Skynet main program also has two functions: control and research and development, and Shen Yi can only get one. If he chooses research and development project, then it will not be able to use this program to control any cutting-edge equipment in the mission world.
After thinking about it, Shen Yi took out the three universal crystals from the coat of arms: "I want to ask two questions first. First, can I apply to combine these three crystals into a C-level crystal and request to exchange for one? t1000. Second, can all energy crystals be produced?"
The space manager quickly replied: "You can combine and redeem t1000. If you choose the research and development function of the Skynet main program, you can create energy crystals. But as I said, it is not easy. The more you want, the more you pay There will be more.”
"Understood, I choose the research and development function to keep the program intelligent and upgradable." Shen Yi said quickly.
The space manager lightly wiped the chip with his hand, and then threw the chip to Shen Yi: "Take it, this is the reward you deserve. You are a smart and adventurous person, if you can As you go along, you may become the most powerful adventurer. By then, you will know everything."
"Thank you, but I remember you said you would give me extra compensation?"
"Don't you think that me standing here and telling you the clear content of urban rules is a valuable compensation in itself?"
“When the court rules in favor of the plaintiff, the judge will never say to the plaintiff that you have learned a lot of legal knowledge in this lawsuit, which is compensation for you, so you don’t have to make a claim...this kind of nonsense. "
"...You will be compensated. Remember, the conversation between you and me today is only known to those present. You are not allowed to tell anyone about the existence of the rule enforcer, let alone reveal this incident, otherwise you will know There are consequences. By the way, don’t do this kind of thing again in the future, you really give me a headache!”
"Then I have to give you a suggestion and leave my contact information. If I want to do something in the future, I will ask you first. If you say no, I won't do it. What if I don't do it?" Shen Yi said with a smile.
"What a beautiful idea you have! From now on, I will become your personal secretary, right? I will be available whenever you call me?" The space manager could see Shen Yi's thoughts at a glance. This guy really knows how to find opportunities to take advantage of people.
Shen Yi spread his hands: "It's better than me causing other troubles in the future."
The space manager glared at Shen Yi fiercely, and after a while he said angrily: "You only have one chance to call me, remember, don't let me do anything beyond my authority. I can't help you complete the task, let alone I can’t help you deal with anyone else. I can only tell you what you can and cannot do.”
"That's enough."
The man stepped back, and his figure gradually became hazy.
"Wait a minute!" Shen Yi suddenly shouted: "How can I call you before you tell me your name?"
"My name is Lan Yan... Also, in this trouble, you are not the plaintiff, you are the fucking defendant..." With this whisper, the other party's figure finally disappeared completely.
Shen Yi, Wen Wen and others looked at each other, with indescribable excitement flashing through their eyes.
Shen Yi casually inserted the chip into the handheld computer.
Tip: "You have obtained the Skynet intelligent program chip, which can be used for the design and research of a variety of technological products."
