Apocalypse: I watch a survival game in a safe house

Fatty Xu was a little confused by the explanation, but when he saw the cute and flawless humanoid girl in front of him, he felt relieved and a blush appeared on his fat face.

He twisted his hands together and nodded.

"Ah."

The girl in red suddenly spoke up, "My image is the product of the personal hobbies of the unconscious creators. It's perfectly normal for it to trigger the sexual fantasies of those we call otakus. You don't need to feel ashamed."

Fatty Xu almost jumped up from where he was.

"No way, no way, no way??? I... I'm normal, okay? Haha, who would have such a stupid imagination?"

Fatty Xu looked around with a disdainful expression, but his entire face had turned the color of liver.

The girl in red didn't care about his hypocritical words and honest deeds.

"Well, the trial begins. Now please answer two questions for me."

"First question, what do you think is the meaning of life?"

Fatty Xu's eyes were stunned.

Huh? Philosophy?

How the hell do I understand these things!

No, now when you advanced civilizations do screening, do you have to look at academic qualifications first?

The recruitment competition in large companies before the end of the world was already competitive enough, and now it has to be this way even when you move up to a higher level civilization. It’s really enough.

"Uh...ah...that..."

Fatty Xu wanted to speak, but he really didn't have much ink, so he looked conflicted.

The girl in red said, "Just follow your heart. I want to know your true thoughts."

Fatty Xu made a face, thought about it for a while, and suddenly relaxed.

"Why should I be anxious? I'm just here to make up the numbers. They're screening capable people, bigwigs like my boss or King Arthur. Just answer casually!"

After relaxing, Fatty Xu was completely free of stress.

"Living things have life, and only with life can we talk about so-called meaning! If they die, the meaning is naturally gone."

The girl in red nodded without commenting and continued to ask the second question.

"If you were given eternal life, would you be happy?"

Fatty Xu answered almost without hesitation this time: "If you give me endless games, figurines, and cute girls to play, I can be happy forever."

After listening to this, the girl in red nodded.

"Good, you passed."

Fatty Xu was stunned for a moment.

Huh? That simple?

Then he became excited.

“I’m a genius!”

The light in front of his eyes changed, and he was teleported to another space.

……

Yang Xinxin's side.

She looked at the girl in red, and their expressions were almost identical.

Faced with this self-proclaimed information-integrated thought entity, she simply said, "A high-level intelligent system? Got it."

The girl in red asked, "What do you think the meaning of life is?"

Yang Xinxin: "Life has no meaning."

She answered decisively without any hesitation.

The girl in red asked, "Why?"

Yang Xinxin replied, "Life will inevitably come to an end. The essence of living things is just genetic sequences. Memories disappear with the death of individuals, and species become extinct. Meaning is created by individuals, the reason they find for their own existence. Otherwise, they will fall into despair because of the loss of the meaning of existence."

The girl in red asked again: "If you were given eternal life, would you be happy?"

Yang Xinxin: "Eternal life itself does not bring happiness. Therefore, happiness or not has nothing to do with the length of life."

This answer made the girl in red silent for a long time, and finally she nodded.

"You passed."

……

King Arthur's answer to the first question was: "What a boring question! Only those who are about to die have time to think about such meaningless questions."

As for the second question, he responded: "Probably not, because the reason why life is brilliant is that it will come to an end."

……

Itugal, the six-winged king of the mechanical civilization, answered the question confidently but cautiously.

He pointed to the spot between his eyebrows and replied, "The essence of life lies here. The existence of all things is spirit. Everything is illusory, only the true spirit is eternal."

The girl in red then asked him whether eternal life could bring happiness.

Yitugal responded with a deep gaze, "The survival of individuals is simply the self-renewal of the group. If we can allow the group to survive forever, then we will create meaning for our own existence."

"So, individuals cannot achieve eternity! But groups can."

When he said this, he pointed at the girl in red in front of him.

"Just like you! Gather the unconscious, and you will be the eternal existence of the Yihen Clan!"

The girl in red simply said, "You passed."
