Araya Soren murmured.
"Huangye, what are you looking for?"
"My true self... my true heart..."
"Araya, what do you want?"
Araya couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Of course it's this contradictory world... the end of the spiral..."
The air seemed to be cut apart at this moment. The sharp knife penetrated into Araya Sōren's chest without any hesitation, completely penetrated, and flew out from the back of Araya Sōren.
The man's tall body fell down with a loud bang, and began to disintegrate from the place where he was pierced by the knife. The dust flew high into the sky with the wind.
Youfang didn’t know what kind of relationship Sister Orange had with the person in front of him, but he was happy to help Sister Orange accomplish something.
This knowledge may seem profound, but in fact there are plenty of ways to find relevant knowledge analysis on the right.
You know, the underground library of Mahora Academy is actually the concrete product of the "Akasha Record". If you really push the right side into a corner, he will stop eating and drinking and study hard to find the correct answers to related questions.
The core of the maze fell out with the death of Araya Soren. Youfang picked up this fist-sized thing and played with it for a while. The other players who survived despite Youfang's deliberate letting them win immediately received the coordinate signal from the maze core in Youfang's hand.
But after playing with it for just two times, Youfang threw it out along the edge of the roof.
He did not plan to take subsequent exams, but was ready to start preparing for the final step of the entire plan.
It is estimated that by now the information that they have been selected as crew members has been sent to their homes door to door in the dual form of physical files and virtual emails. Even if most of these more than 10,000 players have little contact with other relatives and are accustomed to living alone, it does not mean that they will give up their current lives and follow Youfang.
Of course, facing the level of all mankind, their own wishes basically have no meaning. The only difference is how hard they will try when they refuse.
If you want to make someone socially dead, there aren't too many ways to do it.
In order to avoid this situation and avoid even worse uncertainties in the end, the right side chose a gentler and softer approach.
That is, to bring the NPC with whom they have the closest relationship into reality.
It is not limited to partners. NPCs such as parents, pets, rivals, and friends are all within the controllable range.
And these NPCs will also be part of the crew.
Then just use the form of "winning a special reward" to send the NPCs to everyone. In addition, they will only continue to exist if the players choose to board the ship, and their data will not be deleted by the official. I don't believe that this group of people can survive.
The method is indeed a bit despicable, but in order to prevent them from being socially destroyed or even being killed for any random reason, this despicable method is necessary.
Chapter 801 Everyone Wins
Reality, Martian plains.
The huge oval built in the center of the subtropical rainforest slowly opened, revealing the huge body inside.
Looking at the huge Macross in front of me, which I have ridden countless times, I feel a little sigh in my heart.
Even though the degree of simulation in the game is almost equal to reality, the feeling of watching it in the game and in reality is different, and there is a sense of touching.
But then again, the rules of the real world are still quite special. For example, even after the right side merged with Toono Shiki in the game and brought some special abilities into reality, some abilities were inevitably castrated, and some ability rules also changed.
Take the Book of Origin as an example. In reality, there is no such thing as a heart container for Youfang, so what is actually consumed when summoning the black beast is the blood in Youfang's body.
For a black-winged crow, 10 ml is enough, while a wolfhound of average size needs 50 ml, and a black bear directly soars to 200 ml. The bigger guys on the right will really die if they don't try it. How much brown sugar water and red dates should they drink to make up for it?
You can't steal Elquet's donkey-hide gelatin, right?
The reality is that you can't replenish your blood by just eating two rice balls. If you use too much, it will not just be a problem of anemia.
This is a disguised way of sealing Youfang's summoning ability in reality. Of course, Youfang would not have nothing better to do than summon something like a two-faced angel in reality.
So Macross actually encountered many problems, but fortunately Youfang proved with his own body that the combination of real carriers and virtual data can greatly reduce the rule boundaries between reality and games. After a very long debugging, Macross in reality has successfully reached a state where it can operate normally.
Well, it's time to make final preparations.
Youfang raised the Tyrannosaurus in his hand and glanced at the huge Macross from a distance. This huge thing of unknown weight began to decompose and be stored in the Tyrannosaurus visibly.
With more than 3 humans, their partners, and some NPC crew members, the initial population living on Mars will reach about .
Looking at the whole human race, it is of course just a splash in the scale, but for this number, adequate living facilities are still necessary.
We can't let everyone stay at home every day, right?
Although they are happy to do so.
Of course, this is just the early stages, and the number of AIs is far greater than imagined. This place will become a paradise for players and AIs according to the idea on the right.
He waved to Gearmon, Machineloadermon and others who were on vacation, and the body on the right disappeared into the Digital Gate.
……
"Congratulations, you have been selected along with 12798 other members to be part of this space exploration journey..."
This is the message that players who participated in the exam received shortly after the exam.
There is no need to read the above long list of official templates word by word. The general meaning is that the game "College Wars" is actually made to select suitable personnel for space exploration travel. The official already has mature space navigation technology, and in addition to them, some unsuitable people have been eliminated.
In order to alleviate the boredom caused by space exploration, the official sent their close partners to their side, and in the future they will also board the ship as crew members to participate in the exploration of the universe.
Don't worry about safety issues, the authorities guarantee that they can send them out and pick them up intact. This will be a pleasant exploration trip.
Of course, as ordinary people, they also have the right to refuse, but if they choose to refuse, the officials will take back the rewards they have given to everyone.
If the exploration is successful and returns to Earth, a huge reward will be issued, and even part of it can be advanced.
The government rewards for each player are different and are customized according to the needs of each player.
The players in real life looked at the people around them, and the people around them looked back at the players. Many players fell into deep thought.
Yes, under the manipulation of the right side, all players who have participated in the exam, whether they have passed the exam or not, will obtain a robot partner loaded with close person AI, a highly realistic one, those who understand will understand.
Thinking back to how scared the guy on the right was back then, I guess the others weren’t much better.
After a brief moment of doubt, I was plunged into great surprise.
And this official notification is indeed acceptable.
The bigger the pie is, the more you spend, and you can even really give away a portion of it. Anyway, the ultimate goal is to get all players on board as voluntarily as possible.
Once you're on the boat, don't think about getting off easily. As for the pick-up and drop-off services, just listen to them for fun.
Not all players are so stupid. Some of them have their own information channels. There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and there will always be ways to get some forbidden information.
Whatever the higher-ups wanted to do, some players would do whatever they could to achieve it.
Written as "cosmic exploration", pronounced as "space exile".
As a human being, a human being living on Earth, and a human being who has never done anything bad in the social sense, he is suddenly exiled from the Earth by the order of God. No one can accept this immediately.
Even if the main point of "space exile" is not exposed, this "universe exploration" also means that players must be forced to give up their current lives and everything around them, so the voices of opposition will naturally be louder.
Naturally, a large number of players began to become mentally unstable, especially recently as their physical abilities began to approach those of the game. Some people even quietly awakened their superpowers and concealed them without being noticed by their superiors. Once they lose their minds and do something, the consequences will be disastrous.
This unthinkable thing is mainly aimed at the player group. The damage caused by a single person is very small, but once a player does this, it is very likely that all players will be killed together...
The current Earth Federation is absolutely committed to maintaining stability, and is so inward-looking that it is unwilling to be disturbed by any external factors. Once a player really does what they expect, then directly dealing with him is the simplest and most direct way.
It is only because of the issue of "human rights" that the player community has some breathing room.
At times like this, the right is still very grateful to those guys in the higher-ups’ organization who keep talking about human rights and freedom, even though they are a bunch of scum most of the time.
At this time, the robot companion loaded with intimate person AI plays a huge role.
The AI was undoubtedly a member of the group on the right, and before being loaded into the real carrier, all members had already discussed it. At this time, their calming effect was better than expected.
The players' emotions are generally stable.
Seeing this situation, the right side started the next step.
Chapter 802: Space Exploration Preparatory Training
Due to the particularity of AI, some players have doubted the authenticity of the people around them. Are they the people around them?
This kind of questioning can of course only point to one result.
When it comes to AI, the right side will not deceive them. Although AI is not like humans where each individual is unique and replicable, let’s look at it from another perspective.
There are so many people I like! Isn’t this a good deal!? (bushi)
In short, players' aversion to giving up their lives to join space exploration is initially reduced by the idea that "if I can be with him/her/it, even if it's an outer space exploration with no return, it's fine."
As a side note, the "it" here is not uncommon. Don't forget that Izumi Shinichi is the typical example. None of the guys he likes can be considered human.
You know, when Youfang and his friends were discussing what type of prosthesis to put Xiaoyou in, they troubled themselves for a very long time, and in the end it was Xiaoyou himself who gave the answer.
There is no need for a humanoid figure, just a transformable flying X cup with AI loading function will do.
There is no image in your mind for a moment, right?
It's the TENGA robot that's co-branded with both "Mazinger Z" and "Getter Robo", and it's a variant of that thing.
When others deliver goods to your door, they are usually the size of an ordinary adult, but this one is only the size of a water cup...
My goodness! Is this still considered a partner?
Whether they are a partner or not is not decided by the group of people on the right, only Izumi Shinichi himself has the final say. As the closest person to him, Xiaoyou knows Izumi Shinichi's way of thinking very well. I'm afraid this is what Izumi Shinichi hopes for in his heart.
In fact, according to Xiao You, he actually hesitated between the flying X cup and the gloves, but finally chose the flying X cup that can be transformed into three stages.
Youfang and others smiled and expressed their respect for Xiaoyou's opinion, then turned around and raised Izumi Shinichi's XP system abnormality level to the highest level.
Closer to home.
The players who were chosen to be crew members were more or less absent-minded when playing the game. After all, they were about to face a future they had never imagined, so it was normal for everyone to have some worries. But at the same time, they found that their family members began to frequently exhibit some strange behaviors.
After exchanging information, some familiar players discovered that their close partners would often gather together in large numbers across campuses and go to the Mahora Academy campus together.
What are they going to do?
The players were a little curious, and some of them just followed and asked questions.
Rather than being flustered by players behaving in this way, partners are more than welcome to have them come along.
During this time, some people felt something was wrong and wanted to run away, but they were forcibly dragged over.
What the players never expected was that their partners went to Mahora Academy in a group not to do anything shameful as they imagined, but to do a series of space training that was very familiar to the vast majority of mecha warfare players, but extremely unfamiliar to other types of campuses.
On a giant Macross, in a pitch-black universe.
The players were dragged over like ducks on a shelf without knowing what was going on and started training together.
The system even released training-related side stories, giving them more reasons to stay here.
Some real relevant information is also thrown out by someone intentionally or unintentionally, allowing players to have a fuller understanding of their current situation. What they are doing in the game now is what they will face in reality.
Gradually, everyone began to get familiar with life in the universe and on the battleship. At the same time, they also discovered that the number of players here seemed to be increasing...
It seems that more than 90% of the players in the entire server are concentrated on this ship!
The players were somewhat curious, but more importantly, they broke all kinds of assumptions and prejudices about life in the universe. The video footage of life in the space station that they had deliberately checked was also forgotten by them.
It’s so narrow that you’ll hit your head if you jump lightly. It’s a narrow strip of space only two meters square?
The prosperous commercial street built inside Macross is no less beautiful than the ground except that there are no tall buildings.
Do you have to be careful when eating and drinking to avoid food and water entering the esophagus and causing breathing difficulties?
After turning on the internal gravity device, standing inside the battleship feels no different from being on the ground. There is no need to worry about eating and drinking, it is the same as on Earth.
All in all, this period of adaptation to life directly dispelled everyone's fear of exploring the universe.
What is the source of everyone's panic? Isn't it the unknown? When Youfang breaks these things into pieces and presents them to everyone, everyone will suddenly have a feeling of "Oh, this is nothing~".
For most players who don't have a rich social life, this is like just changing their residential neighborhood.
In this way, the aversion of most players to space exploration was reduced again.
The information released on the right is selective, but in terms of "tricking" the players onto the ship first, the idea on the right is consistent with the above.
Once you are on the boat, the right side has the final say.
If there is any unscrupulous corporate executive on the right, he will definitely send this group of people to a place 800 light years away to mine ore, buying low and selling high.
Um, just kidding.
Things have come to this point, and perhaps all that’s left is practice.
But before that...
