Holographic Online Game: If I Don't Exist

Su Xu borrowed from a family in the village to take care of the sick.

Xiaoyao Powder is a chronic poison. The poison in the patient's body has spread to all limbs and bones. Once it invades the heart, there is absolutely no way to recover. The calming pills given to him can only temporarily suppress the poison.

Su Xu is not a doctor, but has some medical skills before. It is not enough to save people, and Xiaoyao San is a rare and strange poison in the world, because it is the most difficult to detect, it makes people turn pale.

The reason why he was able to discover the poison in the other party at the first time was because he had seen this poison a few years ago.The poisoned person usually looks normal, but if the poison occurs, he will inexplicably enter a state of suspended animation, and each time the attack occurs, the time of coma will be prolonged, until finally he cannot wake up completely, and he dies.

Although this kind of poison will not cause pain to people, it is listed as the fifth strange poison in the world because of its inexplicable death because it is not noticed, and the antidote for this poison is difficult to prepare, not only the prescription is complicated and changeable , and the medicinal materials are also difficult to find, so once poisoned by this poison, if the person who poisoned it cannot be found, basically there is only one dead end.

Su Xu sat in front of the bed and pondered for a while, trying to find clues about his identity from this person, but unfortunately, this person had nothing to show his identity other than a suit of luxurious clothes, except for a jade pendant with no discernible characteristics , he held it in his hand and thought about it for a while but couldn't figure out what was going on, so he had to give up.

The night passed, and the man still didn't wake up. Su Xu calculated in his mind, and found that the man had been poisoned for some time. If the calculation is correct, he should have been poisoned a year ago.

Because the poison has no warning, especially for me, if there is no outsider's reminder, I won't feel anything about my coma. Even so, this person should know the poison in his body, right?

The person on the bed still showed no sign of waking up, Su Xu looked out the window, it was still daylight, so he went out.It was still early at the moment, and since the village was located in the suburbs, it was quite cold, and a thin white shirt could not block the chill.

He walked to the small river outside the village, took out a bamboo tube from his arms and filled it with river water.The water that flows down from the top of the snow-capped mountains in the morning is the cleanest and pollution-free. At this time, the snow water is still bubbling with a chill, and people feel the chill when they get close.

When he returned to the bamboo house, the man was still awake, so he stepped forward to support the man's back, let someone lean on his chest, and fed him the snow water in the bamboo tube.Probably because the snow water was too cold, the person who was being fed frowned slightly, and did not swallow a sip of water in his mouth for a long time.Su Xu tilted his head slightly, then ran his fingers along his throat, and the water flowed down with a grunt.

After doing everything he could, Su Xu moved a stool and sat at the door, waiting for the sunlight to come over. Thinking of his purpose for coming out this time, a helpless expression appeared on his face unconsciously.

On the 40th birthday of the leader of the Qisha Sect, he invited the sects with which he had a good relationship with him in the Jianghu.It stands to reason that for the birthday of the leader of the Qisha Sect, no matter what happened to the Xuanbingmen, the owner of the Xuanbingmen should visit him in person. However, the owner of the sect is practicing in seclusion. The senior brother drove him out because he was more exposed to the world, and even gave him a crown. What you are going to represent this time is the big hat of our entire Xuanbingmen".

Knowing that he didn't like that kind of occasion, he pushed him to go there. If he didn't know that senior brother treats him very well on weekdays, he would have suspected that senior senior brother was deliberately punishing him.

He silently calculated the distance from here to Qishajiao in his heart. At his speed, it would probably take half a month, and the birthday of the leader of Qishajiao was only a month away. Difficult.

Su Xu is a nosy person. Although the elder brother said that he was hopeless and he was helpless about it, he really couldn't stand by and do nothing about some things, such as this person he met when passing by the village this time.If he does not save this person, this person will undoubtedly die.No matter how you say it is a fresh life, although he vaguely understands that this person has been away for a long time and it is difficult to find an antidote, and he may die soon, but he still cannot choose to turn a blind eye.

After this person wakes up, he should go to the Qisha sect immediately. It would be bad if he delays for a long time, and he might not be able to make it there. After all, his trip this time really represents the Xuanbing sect.

Thinking in his heart, suddenly there was a slight sound in the room, he turned his head and looked, and saw that the person had already woken up, he didn't know how long the person had been unconscious before he appeared, he only saw that the person rubbed his head when he got out of bed. Rubbing the shoulders and waist, it seems that the body feels a little stiff and unable to move.

"You're awake." Su Xu walked into the room and said with a smile, "I'm finally relieved. Now that I'm awake, I should go."

The man stared at him in shock. He didn't pay attention to what Su Xu said. Seeing that he was about to leave, he subconsciously grabbed his arm: "Wait!"

Being pulled from behind, Su Xu was caught off guard and did not avoid it. Feeling the strength from his arm, he couldn't help turning his head. He was a little displeased at first, but seeing the shock and unconcealable joy in the man's eyes, his expression changed. Leng.

"You know me?" Su Xu asked suspiciously.

"Is...is that you?" An Juntian had no expression on his face, but his tone was a little restless.

That's right, the person attached to this unlucky guy is none other than An Juntian. Originally, the MJ system gave him the priority to choose sects and races because he held a diamond VIP level. It's a pity that An Juntian has no interest and not only has a perfunctory attitude And he also severely despised Master MJ System who is the master of this game.So the MJ system master was so angry that he was shot into the body of the unlucky person who should have died due to the poison of Xiaoyaosan, and he slightly tampered with the data out of humanitarianism and extended the life of this person to one month. .If An Juntian is lucky enough to find the antidote for Xiaoyao San, that's fine. If he can't find it... Sorry, it can't do anything!

"I think, you may have identified the wrong person, and I don't know you."

There was indescribable disappointment in An Juntian's eyes, how could there be two people so similar in the world?Robot 003 is fine, because he made it according to the appearance of that person, but this person...

When you stand in front of a person who has been yearning for a long time and caused someone to suffer from lovesickness, I am afraid that no one will be able to calm down.

An Juntian prides himself on being calm and will not show his emotions when encountering anything. Such a gaffe at this moment is really eye-opening.

baffling.

Su Xu saw the obvious disappointment in An Juntian's eyes, and thought that maybe he was too poisoned and his mind was not clear, so he graciously forgave his rude behavior, and said: "Young Master, the poison of Xiaoyao San fainted in the body. On the side of the road, I made a private suggestion to bring the young master here, please forgive me if I offend you."

Su Xu's words were very polite, and An Juntian was stunned when he heard it. It took him a long time to realize that the environment he was in was very strange.Strangeness and weirdness were the first thoughts in An Juntian's mind. After pulling out the memory bit by bit, he suddenly realized that he was in the game, and he was slightly relieved.

Since it is in the game, does that mean the person standing in front of him is not a real person?An Juntian was extremely disappointed, put away the emotions in his eyes, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, I mistook the person." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

This time it was Su Xu who held his arm, because Su Xu found that the other party didn't seem to have listened to what he just said.

An Juntian turned sideways, staring down at him as he grabbed his fingers.

Su Xu also noticed that he was being impolite, so he quickly withdrew his hand and said in embarrassment: "Is that so, is your master aware of your physical condition? The Xiaoyao powder in your body has been around for a long time, and if you don't find the antidote in time, you may be in danger of dying." When the young master was in a coma, I gave him a reassurance pill, coupled with the effect of the snow water on the top of the snow mountain, it should be able to suppress the poison for a while, but the time will not be too long, so the young master should prepare early... ..."

"What Xiaoyao San?" An Juntian frowned slightly.

Because the other party has the face of a dream lover, but he is an illusory person. He wants to be out of sight and out of mind, so he is naturally as far away as possible, but the other party is not aware of it. He was not happy just now, but now he is so attentive, and his expression changes. Like flipping a book.

Hearing this, Su Xu opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to continue the conversation. He naturally saw the impatient expression on the other party's face. He was suspicious of his good intentions.

An Juntian doesn't seem to have a thick nerve, he has no doubts: does he really not know that he is poisoned?

"What is Xiaoyao San?" An Juntian frowned, his voice tended to become colder.

Su Xu sighed slightly, and said helplessly: "It seems that the young master really doesn't know. Forget it, save people and send the Buddha to the west. Xiaoyao San is a strange poison. People who are poisoned generally don't notice it, and usually have no problem with normal people. It is different, but after the poisoning, you will fall into a coma in a state of suspended animation, and the time will gradually prolong with each poisoning, until you can't wake up at the end. Usually, the time from poisoning to death is within two months after half a year. The specific situation depends on the severity of the poisoning. I have checked it below. The poison that the young master suffered from must have been a long time ago. The young master should have been poisoned by other poisons before. The poison was originally cleared, but Xiaoyao San induced it again by chance , so I don’t know how the specific trend will develop, but what is certain is that the situation is not optimistic.”

"How do you know so much?" An Juntian asked back.

Shouldn't most people be anxious about the fact that "their life is not long"?

Su Xu was surprised by An Juntian's reaction. To the other party's question, he just replied perfunctorily: "I know a little bit about it, and I have seen this kind of situation before, so I know."

An Juntian nodded slightly, then said thank you and turned to leave.

Su Xu watched An Juntian's figure gradually disappear from his sight, retracted his eyes, his eyelids slightly closed, and a thoughtful light flashed in his eyes.

It was raining, and An Juntian was standing under a big green tree, squinting his eyes slightly, his eyes were full of green.

In an era full of high technology, almost everyone is busy with the fast pace of life. However, some people are busy greening for all mankind, some are busy greening for individuals, and some are busy greening only for busy greening, which has no value or meaning, so that The pace of everyone seems to be fast forwarding, hurried and boring, busy and empty.

Human scientific and technological civilization has developed rapidly in the past hundred years, and has almost reached its peak. Every corner of life is full of technological colors, although technology has also made many people poor.

In such a fast-paced new century, the earth's resources are severely depleted, but it is not difficult for human beings with advanced minds and advanced technology. Therefore, when the climate is controlled by human beings throughout the year, people have also become accustomed to it.

The era of science and technology has come quietly, but it has been so naturally integrated into people's lives. Although there are people who complain about the disadvantages of technology, they still accept and enjoy the convenience it brings, so that after a thousand years, almost Few people remember what people's life was like in the past, and they can't imagine how to adapt to life when these technologies disappear.

Therefore, for people whose spirits have become numb, the realistic natural wonders in this giant holographic online game are also a highlight.

The drizzle gives people a real feeling. No one likes the artificial rainfall system on the earth's surface. The pace of human life is so fast that things around us seem so unreal.

The originally bright sky in the outskirts was covered with a layer of light gray, and the fresh air inhaled into the lungs was intoxicating.The cloth shoes and the hem of his clothes were already wet from the water droplets on the shallow grass on the ground. He realized that the rain would not stop for a while, so he simply stood under the tree, motionless like an old monk in meditation, but his mind was full of thoughts.

He was a little emotional just now, so that he lost his composure, and he couldn't judge anything from the tone of the other party's words. Looking back now, even if that person is very likely to be an NPC that has not yet been possessed by the player, before there is no definite evidence, he still Can't make a decision.

In the dream, the person he had always cared about, he knew nothing except the name of the other person, and he couldn't even tell whether the other person really existed in a certain corner of the world, or if it was just his fantasy as his mother said ideal lover.

Who is that man with exactly the same appearance? Is it really just a character in the game?

This idea only turned around in his mind before he decisively ruled it out. He didn't believe that there was such a coincidence in the world. Even the characters in the game had a reference model when they were designed, so he firmly believed that from that person Can you find some clues on your body, or check it directly from within the game company?

Concerned about it, An Juntian looked at the rainy sky, got up and prepared to go back to find that person.

The figure of that person was not seen in the village, An Juntian asked the villagers living nearby, and said that the person had left the village and disappeared.

Standing at the entrance of the village, he looked at the three paths in front of him, wondering which way the man would go.

The forest is very quiet, except for the rustling of raindrops on the leaves and flowers, there is only the sound of thin footsteps.It's just that this quiet scene didn't last long before it was broken by a burst of loud crying and cursing.

On the way to Chengdu, An Juntian met a group of refugees who were robbed by gangsters. Among them, the female relatives were forcibly robbed and occupied. The scene was chaotic.The old man shouted the injustice of the world, the young women were tied up by the gangsters crying and molested from time to time, and the young men in the team confronted the gangsters angrily. Low, when they resisted, they were determined but powerless. They were either beaten half to death, or simply stabbed to death. The scene was yellow and violent.

Although any pornographic violence is ostensibly banned in the real world, there are still places beyond the government's control. Natural selection of the fittest has been applicable since ancient times. Power is always in the hands of the strong, and the weak will either become victims or be attached to strong.

An Juntian is not a nosy person, so he is going to take a detour.But someone wanted to jump out to uphold justice, so when the person he was looking for appeared in front of the refugees with a cold face and confronted him with a sword, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

"Bold and lunatic, you are so reckless in broad daylight, do you still have the king's law in your eyes?" Su Xuping asked coldly, pointing at the big man who looked like the leader of the bandit.

The sturdy uncle was blocked from his good deeds, so he glared angrily, with a savage face that made him extremely ferocious, making people fearful.

He gave a strange laugh, and said: "Another decent person full of chivalry, tsk tsk, the people who died recently one after another are so lively, it's so exciting that I can't help but let out three long howls."

"Second master, he's asking if you have a king's law in your eyes." A thin man with a wretched face and a sinister smile next to him leaned into the ear of the sturdy uncle and fanned the flames.

"Wang Fa? What is that? Have you heard of it? Have you heard of it?" The sturdy uncle asked the people around him in surprise, and saw them all laughing and shaking their heads, and then burst out laughing, Pointing at Su Xu's nose, he said sarcastically, "I'm sorry, we are countrymen, ignorant and ignorant, and have never heard of Wang Fa." After finishing speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

Su Xu's face was cold, and the hand holding the sword couldn't help but tightened. Suddenly, someone grabbed his sleeve. He turned around and saw that it was an old woman with criss-cross wrinkles on her face, and her dark brown complexion resembled With dead bark, she opened a pair of cloudy eyes that were narrowing into slits, and begged bitterly: "Hero, save my granddaughter, save the people in our village, they have all fallen into the hands of these bandits, I have suffered so much. Hero, please, please do me a favor and save them!"

"You don't need to say that I will save them, don't worry." Su Xu hurriedly supported the old woman and said comfortingly.

"Boy, where did you come from? Report your name first. If you want to snatch someone from me, Hu Fei, you don't think about your own ability." The sturdy uncle sneered.

"I don't want to kill. If you still don't want to die, get out!" Su Xuhan said with a straight face. An Juntian noticed that the sword in his hand was still covered with a scabbard, but the scabbard was very close to the hilt except for the blunt and round edges. Similar, so I didn't notice it for a while.

Uncle Sturdy also has excellent eyesight. He obviously saw that the sword in Su Xu's hand was still in its scabbard. He laughed loudly and said in a wild tone, "Only you? What can an unsheathed sword do to me?"

The sturdy uncle raised his hand, and the gangsters behind him quickly surrounded Su Xu and the group of refugees. It seemed that he would not only deal with Su Xu, but also continue to arrest or kill the refugees, "Give it to me!"

As soon as the voice fell, many gangsters swarmed up. All the old and young strongmen became souls killed by the sword. As for the women among the refugees, they were caught in various obscenities and molestation. The sound of beatings and laughter mixed together was deafening.

Su Xu originally wanted to be merciful to these gangsters, but after seeing this scene, he suddenly became angry. There was a sword flower, and then there was a choking sound, the sword suddenly came out of its sheath, a silver light flashed in his eyes, the sword energy permeated his whole body, and blood and flesh flew everywhere he went, the scene was beautiful and bloody.

Such a neat and straightforward method of killing made An Juntian frowned. He looked at Su Xu who killed people like mud in the field, and felt that this person was very strange. Originally, he still had some kind of hope in his heart, but in his impression People are not like this, it's really... very disillusioned.

Is it really just that they look the same?An Juntian was confused.

Su Xu killed the second boss and more than a dozen gangsters, and the remaining seven or eight gangsters fled after leaving a cruel word.He knew that letting those people run away was equivalent to leaving disasters for the future, but he didn't want to kill people. Seeing blood was actually not in line with his values. It's just that once his Xuanbing sword was unsheathed, he had to see blood before it could be unsheathed.

The rescued refugees were grateful and kowtowed to Su Xu. Su Xu couldn't stop them, so he had to let them go, and then pointed out a clear road for them. After another post station, they would be on the border of Chengdu. It will be safe, and it will be accepted and rescued by Zheng Beihai, the prefect of Chengdu.

This group of refugees came from Songjia Village, and they lived a stable and good life. However, not long ago, a group of mountain bandits came and not only occupied their Songjia Village to drive them away and make them homeless, but also occupied the girls in the village. Damn it, even married women are not spared, as long as they are pretty, they take it for themselves.

Before leaving, the old woman begged him to go to Songjia Village to help rescue those trapped villagers. Su Xu thought that it would be delayed for a few days, and he would not be able to catch up with the birthday of the leader of Qisha Sect. Poor, she kept crying and complaining that her granddaughter hadn't escaped yet. Although the village chief took care of her, the village chief was also an ordinary person without any force.

Really helpless, Su Xu had no choice but to agree to the old woman's request, and watched them go in the direction of Chengdu, feeling really helpless, so he sighed slightly.

"If it's difficult, don't agree, why bother afterwards?" An Juntian couldn't understand Su Xu's hypocritical behavior.

"Helping the weak and helping the poor is a common thing in the world. Although I am weak and can only help a small number of people, I believe that if everyone lends a helping hand, the world will be peaceful." Su Xu wiped the sword with his sleeve and inserted it into the scabbard.

"Helping the weak and helping the poor?" An Juntian snorted coldly, "What is weak? What is poverty? Everyone has different standards and cognitions, just like good and evil are only relative, depending on your perspective Look at the problem. There has never been fairness and justice in the world. Poverty and weakness are just to set off the rich and strong. Goodness and beauty are just to set off evil and ugliness. Night is just to set off the day, and darkness is just to set off the light. It is said that where there is light, there is darkness. An ideal and beautiful world does not exist at all, so why do you think that the poor and weak need to be rescued and helped, that goodness and beauty are worthy of admiration, that day always symbolizes light, while night hides ugliness?"

Hearing this, Su Xu smiled, and he said, "I understand what you mean, but don't you think it would be boring if you don't do anything? I just want to live a fulfilling life."

Now it's An Juntian's turn to be dumbfounded. What is the structure of Su Xu's brain circuit? Why does he feel that his thinking is not on the same level as him?Just now he was full of righteous indignation and accused the gangsters of their arrogance and lack of law, why did he agree with him in the next second?

Could this be the difference between modern players and ancient NPCs in the game - the reason why the thinking is not at the same level?

"You think it's contradictory?" Su Xu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "You don't belong to this world, so you don't understand the rules of this world. If you just want to stand by and do nothing when you come here, I advise you to leave early. It’s good, otherwise life will be very difficult in the future.”

"...What do you mean? You know me..." An Juntian's eyes trembled, and something seemed to explode in his mind. He came to Su Xu almost like a gust of wind, and said in a trembling tone, "You Not an NPC? Are you a real person?"

Su Xu was taken aback by his crazy actions, and managed to get his shoulders out of his claws, but was hugged tightly by the other party, only to hear the other party ask: "What's your name?"

Su Xu was still in a daze, then subconsciously replied: "Su Xu."

Immediately afterwards, his body was restrained to death, and he couldn't break free, feeling angry in his heart, he cursed him secretly, and then his body became illusory, and disappeared into An Juntian's arms the next moment.

An Juntian looked at Kongkong's embrace, obviously that person was still there at the last moment... When he came back to his senses, he was almost weeping with joy, there was no expression on his cold and indifferent face, but he read a brilliant smile like a flower, If the subordinates in the army see the emotion that is more surprising than the 45-degree smile, they will definitely be terrified and unable to sleep for several days. It is a smile from the devil!

He said his name was Su Xu, he would disappear suddenly, he said he didn't belong to this world... There are all signs that he is not a rigid NPC in the game!An Juntian suppressed his emotions, and a frenzy flashed in his eyes.

But why doesn't the other party know him?

Of course, if he thinks that this is just a game, and the player is attached to the NPC, the natural appearance is not the same as the deity, maybe he will feel more comforted.

Poor Junjun, I didn't notice the meaning of Su Xu's previous sentence "You don't belong to this world".People say "you" instead of "you", let alone "we", so is this a beautiful misunderstanding?

The game player is attached to the NPC when entering the game, that is to say, when the player leaves the game, this character will not disappear out of thin air, and it will become an NPC character without the player's modern consciousness again.Because no matter whether you play the game up or down, once the game starts to work, the plot will not stop because of you.

However, the player is going to play the game to enjoy the game. What if the game changes for a day, or if you do a lot of tasks inexplicably, you don’t know what to do. The MJ system will perform intelligent operations on this, and the NPC character will still be normal. Life, but the plot task will not be carried out, that is, the task will not progress.

It’s just that this involves another problem. The speed ratio between the game world and the real world is ten to one, and the tasks in the game have a specified time limit. In this way, won’t the game tasks fail after staying in the real world for a long time? ?This problem is naturally still controlled by the MJ system.When the player leaves the game, the MJ system will automatically extend the mission period, which is equivalent to suspending the player's mission time, but so far, this situation is not perfect, and it can only be used for individual missions.

The so-called independent mission means that no other players participate, and the main mission is only related to yourself.If multiple players participate in the mainline mission, the process of the mission will not be changed if players who are irrelevant to the mainline go offline. In the end, many problems were reduced, but new troubles appeared.

Sometimes the task branch may also affect the progress and even the complexity of the main task, and finally form a criss-cross network. The game programming will be automatically expanded by the MJ system, and the logical operators required will become more and more complicated. .This requires game programmers to improve the MJ system, not only to expand its capacity, but also to upgrade it every once in a while, and every time it is upgraded, the intelligence of the MJ system will increase by one level. Generate self-awareness.

However, it is taboo for intelligence to generate autonomous consciousness.

In the age of science and technology, machine intelligence is a common phenomenon, but if it exceeds the speed and becomes self-aware, it may pose a huge threat to the entire human civilization, which is absolutely not allowed by the interstellar government.Because extraordinary technology will bring destructive threats to human beings, interstellar laws clearly stipulate that machine intelligence cannot exceed level eight—according to scientists’ calculations, when a robot’s intelligence exceeds level eight and reaches level nine or above , self-awareness may arise, and the robot will no longer be controlled by humans at that time.

As the largest game producer in the world, China Entertainment Corporation naturally understands this, but holographic online games have reached the bottleneck, and they urgently need to develop new varieties to break through this restriction, only then will they continue to occupy a leading position in the world .This Wuhun Online holographic online game is just their experiment. The intelligence of the MJ system was initially set at level five, which is not considered a highly intelligent system in the age of technology. Moreover, they concealed that the MJ system is a virtual space system, and they also want to show it to the interstellar system. The government has guaranteed that the intelligence of this system will not exceed level eight.

As a brand-new holographic online game that is ahead of the times in terms of game content and game setting configuration, the interstellar government knows that their military power often obtains technical information from it, and there are ready-made examples, so as long as they are not excessive, they I won't care too much.

China Entertainment Corporation firmly believes that they can control intelligent machine systems of level [-] or even level [-], and the reason why the earth crisis has not been completely resolved is that their technology is not yet developed enough, so they feel that they should further develop technology instead of standing still After all, the eighth level of intelligence in the current system is the limit of human technology.

They believe that since aliens can develop technology to that extent, why can't humans?Therefore, as long as the MJ system is intelligentized to level 9 and above through online games, mankind will enter a new era.

Back to the topic, how would An Juntian feel if he knew that the NPC character would not disappear out of thin air when the player went offline?
