Chapter 150 Goodbye, System.

Before the end of the year, the development of the game entered the final stage. Although it was a very hard year, everyone was hesitating.

"Trial operation will start in January. If there are no problems, it will be officially launched in February, and the number of people who have registered and made appointments has far exceeded our plan." Gu Congsu was looking at the timetable and said proudly: "Lao Tzu I'm so excited now! Hey, boss, what are you looking at?"

Xie Wenyi was staring at the computer screen, reading a lot of English.

"Boss, I'm half illiterate, please speak human language..."

"There is an international game competition." Xie Wenyi said.

"Boss, I never knew you were so ambitious..." Gu Congsu's mouth opened into a big O shape.

"The prize money is very attractive?" Gu Congsu said.

"No, international competitions can open up our popularity." Xie Wenyi said.

Yin Shan raised his head from the computer and said thoughtfully: "I seem to have heard of this competition, it only happens once every five years. When I was just working, it happened to be the last competition. Excellent game producers will participate, and the competition is very fierce, no more than two of each country can enter the finals, so that team must be eager to try this time."

"Which team?" Gu Congsu asked.

"The one who lost to us in the previous game." Yin Shan replied.

Ren Ran had a bit of an impression, the team that was almost neck and neck with them in the previous game, vaguely remembered that their boss was a man named Wang Jidong, whose messy hair was even more messy than Yin Shan.

"They are very strong." Xie Wenyi admitted, and added: "It's a pity that they ran into us."

"Ha, the boss is indeed the boss! I still remember that the people in their team were very irritable, especially the kid with the green hair, his temper was like a bomb, and he would blow up at one point. I still remember that they lost to us in that game. Come backstage to stop us, tsk tsk, I can't afford to lose!" Gu Congsu said.

"I'm the head of game development, so it's no wonder they jumped." Ren Ran said.

According to what I said before, as the founders of the game, they naturally want to leave their footprints in the game. Xie Wenyi gave them permission in advance. The game ID of ordinary users is eight digits, and they can have Your own unique ID, you can name it whatever you want.

Ren Ran didn't go home for several days, and when he got home, he lay dead on the bed. When the cloud was in the fog, his phone vibrated a few times, it was Ren Yan.

[I'm the most beautiful: how are you doing recently? 】

[Burning Youth: Very good, the game we developed will be trial operation soon, and it is currently in the registration stage. 】

[I'm the most beautiful: I'm here to support you, just throw me a link. 】

[Burning Youth: No problem, here you go, continue. 】

[I am the most beautiful: how is life? 】

[Burning Youth: Very good. The teammates are all very good people. Unfortunately, I can't help you find a few. Among them is a couple, and there is a person whose intuition is not your favorite type. 】

[I am the most beautiful: Is there another one? 】

Xie Wenyi?When Ren Ran thought of him, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

[Burning Youth: No. 】

After the message was sent, Ren Ran realized how inappropriate the words were.

[I'm the most beautiful: Hehe, it's tricky. 】

Ren Ran didn't know how to answer, because there was indeed something tricky.

[I'm the most beautiful: I want to see photos of your teammates, do you have any? 】

Ren Ran found a news link when they won the game before, Ren Yan didn't reply him for a long time, and when Ren Ran was about to fall asleep, the message popped out.

【I'm the most beautiful: Ren Ran, this time, I hope nothing will hinder you again. 】

Ren Ran didn't understand what she meant, so Ren Yan waved her off, and at the same time, Xie Wenyi also sent him a message.

[Mr.SH: How about it, have you thought about the ID yet? 】

[Mr. HP: No, haha, are they all healed? 】

[Mr. SH: Yes. 】

[Mr. HP: This speed. . . 】

[Mr. SH: EQ1224, JM1104, KK1104, SH520. 】

[Mr. HP: It's too neat, I think I should line up. 】

Ren Ran simply admired the digital logic of this group of people.

【Mr.HP: Li Qing's birthday is 1104, and Yin Shan has changed it to 1104, so there is no need to show affection like this!What happened to Gu Congsu’s 1224, I remember his birthday is in June, and your 520. . . 】

Of course Ren Ran understood what 520 meant, but he wanted to know what Xie Wenyi meant.

【Mr.SH: Do you know how many levels our game has in total? 】

According to the way they are arranged and combined, many possibilities can indeed be created, and the specific number of Ren Ran has not been converted.

[Mr. SH: More than 520 million. 】

Oh, it didn't mean that, I was instantly lost.

[Mr. HP: I have decided, HP0831. 】

August 8st was the day he returned to China, the first day he actually met Xie Wenyi.

A few minutes later, Xie Wenyi replied to him.

【Mr.SH: Alright, I have established your player identity for you, you can log in now, take a good rest, I will send you a gift tomorrow, see you tomorrow. 】

[Mr. HP: See you tomorrow. 】

Ren Ran got up and turned on the computer, Xie Wenyi gave them a very large authority, completely different from ordinary players, his identity was written as a player.

Ren Ran felt that with such a powerful authority, he could walk through every level at will and pass the level without any effort.Of course, Ren Ran wanted to know what gift Xie Wenyi was going to give him more than this.

He got up to wash up and then fell asleep, somehow he had a flash of inspiration.

He sat back in front of the computer again.

HP0831: Game identity, NPC.

That's what makes it interesting.

The next day, Ren Ran went shopping first, and then went to the old town on the way. Before he entered the door, he heard anxious voices from inside.

"Damn, the disc is gone!" Yin Shan shouted.

"How come, I remember I put it in the drawer!" Gu Congsu said.

"Don't worry, look again, it's a mess here, is it somewhere else?" Li Qing said calmly.

"Don't make trouble, no matter how sloppy I am, this kind of thing can't go wrong. I remember it very clearly. I put it in a drawer and locked it firmly, but this drawer is actually open..." Gu Congsu I almost want to cry: "I have backed up several of them, and this disc contains relevant information and data of the game, what the hell!"

"Wait a minute, I remember that when I came here, I saw a man walking out of the alley with a hat on. I thought it was just a passer-by, but now that I think about it, it's not that our family still lives in this small area. , who will go here." Yin Shan felt that something was wrong: "Someone came and stole it."

"The man in the hat? I saw it before, and I just walked past it..." Ren Ran turned and ran outside, saying loudly, "I'm going to chase him!"

"Ren Ran, I'll go with you!" Gu Congsu also chased him out.

Since this person was able to find this place when they were not around, he must have followed them secretly many times. He must know the alley here very well. When you get to the main road, it's hard to catch up.

Ren Ran quickened his pace, his prediction was correct, when he was about to run to the entrance of the alley, he saw the back of the person in front of him, wearing a hat, with a thin body, it was him.

The man noticed Ren Ran and rushed out of the road.

There were loud human voices and piercing car honking in his ears, and the figure of the man disappeared in the repeated traffic lights, Ren Ran felt that he seemed to be hallucinating.

A pair of gray pupils and a woman's scream.

All of this exists in the deepest part of his memory, and everything in the past flashes back and forth in front of his eyes like broken fragments.

That was his lost memory.

------------------------------

Ren Ran sat alone quietly, he didn't know how long time had passed, all his lost memories came back, five years ago and five years later, all these were as sharp as a murder weapon, piercing his chest with a knife .

Except for those memories that he couldn't let go of, his mind was filled with only that person called "Xie Wenyi".

He tried to recall what kind of life Xie Wenyi lived after his car accident in his third year of high school, and what kind of mood Xie Wenyi was in when they reunited five years later.

And all these jokes seem to never end. When everything is about to be on the right track, everything that happened five years ago is tirelessly repeating itself.

Ren Ran felt that the probability of being hit by a car twice in a few years like himself was the only one in the world.

Ren Ran's eyes fell on the backpack on the ground, and he dumped all the contents on the ground, except for some props, the heaviest were two encyclopedias, but Ren Ran found that there was a third Ben, only the weight of a small book, Ren Ran ignored it when he fled from the hotel.

It says Encyclopedia Volume Three.

The third volume, the third volume has been in Xie Wenyi's hands.

There is only one page inside, and the first line says introduction.

The third volume of the encyclopedia, attribute modification, can modify the player's attributes, can access any copy and modify any information.It is emphasized that unknown events may occur.

Han Yifeng has been looking for the encyclopedia, thinking it is the trump card for customs clearance, but Ren Ran has never really understood it. Although the previous two books have helped them to some extent, it is still unknown whether they can pass the customs. Thinking that the third volume turned out to be such a powerful function.

Modify any information, perhaps including the necessary possibility of direct customs clearance.

He's in the last place.

Ren Ran's fingers nimbly tapped every key, and these extremely complicated formulas and programs that he had seen in Gu Congsu's computer poured out deftly from his fingertips.

A few hours later, Ren Ran got up and left. Before closing the door, he took a last look at the computer that was still working.

He found a Mobike on the street, and from the urban area to the suburbs, passing through layers of empty and quiet roads, the street in front of him was getting wider and wider, and there were a lot of vehicles here on weekdays, and he seemed to be the only one at this time.

Ren Ran rode for three hours and arrived at the largest airport in the suburb.

In the arrest warrant, he and Xie Wenyi came here to pick up Ren Yan.

In reality, he went overseas from here, and on that day, no one came to see him off. Ren Ran thought that he had been extremely unpopular in the past 18 years, so no one came to see him off.

Occasionally, sporadic lights flashed across the ink-stained sky. They were not stars in the sky, but those flights flying at night. Ren Ran walked into a large open space.

This is the place where the No. 290 Fifth Wanted Warrant is gathered, and it is also the place with the best view of the entire airport.

Someone is already standing there.

Xie Wenyi looked up at the faraway flight in the sky, the moonlight was shining all over his body, lonely and cold.

"I came to see you off that day, but I was standing here."

In fact, I really came that day and watched your plane go away and disappear into the sunset. That day was May NO.20.

"Look back at me." Ren Ran said loudly.

It has always been him, never changed, from beginning to end this man named Xie Wenyi.

Xie Wenyi turned around slowly.

The person in front of him overlaps with the person in his memory, five years ago, five years later, in reality, in the dungeon, there seem to be countless shadows layered on top of each other.

"I can't help it, you haven't woken up, your sister has returned to China, and your friend Lu Linsen." When Xie Wenyi said these words at this time, his emotions were already calm, "Your doctor said that if you want to wake up your Consciousness is too difficult, but she believes that the human brain is a very complex structure, and all information is in the deepest part of the brain."

"So, you took advantage of the game we developed?" Although Ren Ran had a rough guess, he wanted to hear from Xie Wenyi himself.

"Yes, the main purpose of this game is to make all players feel immersive. I want to use this to awaken your consciousness. Of course, I hide my selfishness." Xie Wenyi said.

I want to wake up your old memory, the memory with me.

Xie Wenyi will never forget that more than a month, every day is burning with anxiety, he and Gu Congsu almost sleepless nights, modifying the program, he wants to embed what happened, what they said, and the places they have been to into the copy.

He hoped that Ren Ran would wake up and think of him.

"But something went wrong with the program." Ren Ran said.

"Yes, the same is true of the magnetic field. There is a deviation in this technology. It creates a new space and brings all registered players into this virtual space. The formulas and programs we designed are completely in this virtual space. Out of our grasp, it's like a conscious, thoughtful and logical human brain, and it starts to take over."

The source of all this is my fault.

During that period of time, it was very scary and panic. Every day, people disappeared and disappeared mysteriously. The news media made a lot of reports, and they even thought that there was a terrorist organization.But Xie Wenyi understood that these people who disappeared suddenly were brought into a strange space, but he couldn't tell all of this.

He needs to enter the game, find Ren Ran, awaken his consciousness, and he has no time to take care of the rest.

He admits to being selfish.

"I don't want Gu Congsu and the others to take risks. After all, I don't know whether after entering the game, it is still the scene and clearance conditions designed in our database. I need their backing, so Gu Congsu and I entered the game first, but the system The level of complexity is far beyond our imagination. Players who have not cleared the level will die and become NPCs, which means that they will only exist in this virtual space. What makes me even more unexpected is that when I found you, your The identity turned out to be an NPC, not a player who has not cleared the level, but the information itself when registering is an NPC."

By mistake, when Xie Wenyi gave him the registration information of the founder, Ren Ran changed it to an NPC, because he thought it would be very interesting. At that time, he even imagined that if Xie Wenyi, a player, saw the big boss while playing the game What kind of expression would Ren Ran have?

"Not only do you not remember anything, but you are also an NPC who cannot leave the game. It is cruel for a person to lose his memory once, but you lose it twice. I don't want to see you like this." Xie Wenyi said again: "Exchanging cards, this It’s an item card that hides the branch line. I originally designed it to allow registered players to change their identities. During the trial operation, there were only ten cards in the entire server. I got this item card in the game.”

He didn't say any more, Ren Ran already understood, Xie Wenyi used this card to swap identities with Ren Ran.

"At that time, I entered the game to find you and to crack the system. After all, so many people were forced to be involved in this disaster because of me. I put the first chip in the old city, but the copy I experienced There is no such area in China. Until the end, Gu Congsu was also out, and my points accumulated to one hundred, and after I found you, I made a decision. I don’t want to see you like this, I want you to leave here , I thought you would clear the game, but at that time the system was so powerful that it far exceeded my estimation, it had completely become a human brain, it could think independently, it would have its own likes and dislikes, and it even tried to put This place becomes an independent world that you can control, it will not allow players to reach [-] points at all, even if the points have accumulated to [-], it will erase the player's memory and start over."

Ren Ran was the only player who exchanged identities with Xie Wenyi, brought one hundred points, but was erased by the system in the game memory, and restarted the game.

"Ren Ran, in fact, I had no chance of winning at all at that time. I might be an NPC in the space for the rest of my life, and I would never see you again, and even implicate so many innocent people, but I didn't expect you to modify yourself into an NPC at that time." At that time, I actually got a lot of permissions. I can freely shuttle in different copies. I know that as long as I find the chip, everyone will be saved. I put the first chip in my real home in the old city, but the chip is not there. , I guessed that maybe the system was messed up, the second chip was released by Gu Congsu and Yin Shan, but at that time Gu Congsu was out, Yin Shan and Li Qing I did not let them enter the system, so the second chip I have absolutely no clue about the chip."

Xie Wenyi said that his expression showed a little powerlessness and paleness, and Ren Ran couldn't imagine how he was able to support himself until now.

"I don't understand why Gu Congsu didn't become an NPC since he was out of the game? And Yin Shan and Li Qing, didn't you let them enter the game? Why did they appear here?" Ren Ran realized that he didn't know anything about the iceberg corner.

"Prepare for a rainy day. I don't know how powerful the system is. When Gu Congsu and I entered the game, we strengthened the protection program on my ID and his ID. I guess it's because of this. The system can't turn him into an NPC. Can wipe his memory and let him start the game again."

"But Gu Congsu thought of you!"

"Yes, this is where I am surprised. I have been traveling through various dungeon scenes, until one day I came to a place where there are the colleges and universities we used to study, the lively financial district, the old city and the Shiku where I lived. Men, I even found Gu Congsu, and saw you. I felt like I had returned to reality for a moment, but all this was an illusion of the system. It's not the same, the system automatically integrates the information when the player registers.

Let me make an analogy. The registration requirements we provide come with a questionnaire. These questions are too biased, such as occupation, name, gender, personality, expectations, etc. If you study in high school, then this player will be in the same class as us in this game, so this seemingly realistic place is actually another copy, and everyone in this copy is a registered user, just like you And Gu Congsu, Lu Linsen, you are all players, you will receive text messages to enter other dungeons to clear the level, and other people who have not received text messages may tend to become NPCs in the game when they register, such as your sister Ren Yan . "

Xie Wenyi paused, and then said: "The system is very powerful. It tries to become a human brain to control us, but its foundation is programs and formulas, which cannot be changed. What we have is a truly complex brain. To this extent, your consciousness is strong enough and may not be controlled by him. For example, Gu Congsu, he gradually remembered everything. As for Li Qing and Yin Shan, if they really listen to me and stay in reality instead of entering the game, then they will not He is Xie Wenyi's teammate."

At this point, Ren Ran completely understood all this.

"They also came into the game to come to us."

"Yes, Yin Shan should have made some changes before, causing them to become a special existence in the system. They are also looking for chips, but the system is very strong and will become stronger. It has been monitoring us A few, so Li Qing and Yin Shan kept hiding, until I used the encyclopedia to modify their attributes and became players, I confused the monitoring of the system, and discovered the loopholes of the system for the first time.”

Ren Ran took out the third volume of the encyclopedia from his backpack, which is actually a modifier property.

"Ren Ran, do you know? The day before your car accident, I said that I have a gift for you, and this is what I meant." Xie Wenyi recalled the past, and smiled bitterly: "This is the program I did overnight , I want to send it to you. When I entered the game, the third book was always in my hand, but the system was monitoring me, so I couldn’t use it, and I couldn’t modify your information directly. Li Qing and Yin Shan are different, their own The identities are very confusing, and I just modified their attributes with the idea of ​​giving it a try, but I didn’t expect that I found a loophole in the system. Only when he feels dangerous, the system will break for a short time, such as the night in the old city , the appearance of Yin Shan with the first chip made the system feel uneasy, and there was a white light in the sky. For example, after I modified the attributes of Yin Shan and Li Qing, the system fluctuated for a few seconds, it was afraid, afraid We will be out of its control."

The time of fear is the best opportunity.

"It's just that I didn't expect you to keep a part of the data privately to make the third chip." Xie Wenyi took a step towards him, "It's like you set yourself up as an NPC, it really catches people off guard."

"On a temporary basis, I haven't had time to tell you. In order to prevent technical problems, I added this level and put a chip in the program. Also in order to prevent it from being cracked, I split an extra one." Ren Ran said .

Because at that time, even if I lost my memory of you, I still fell in love with you when I got to know you again. I hope that time can go back, the same university and the same major we had agreed upon, the beginning of all this It should happen in the examination room of the college entrance examination, so I put the third chip there.

"Smelly and shameless is also your program?" Ren Ran asked.

"Yes, she was originally just a program with a tracking function. After we restarted the game, it became a text message program. This should be a masterpiece of the system. The system uses it to monitor players, but it doesn't know that Shameless is in a certain place. In a sense, they are our teammates.”

If the entire system is evolving into an independent individual with human thinking and emotions, then all programs are essentially the same. Shameless, as a program set by Xie Wenyi, it also has the ability to think independently and cognition, she Prompting them repeatedly became the key to opening the last patch.

Ren Ran opened the third volume of the encyclopedia, held the pen in his right hand, and the tip of the pen landed on the snow-white pages.

He suddenly asked: "If the system is cracked, will we return to reality, or disappear completely?"

"I don't know." Xie Wenyi said suddenly: "You can choose to stay here forever, because I won't leave, and you are here too."

Ren Ran didn't speak, but wrote down the first name on the tip of the pen.

[Gu Congsu, game ID: EQ1224, game identity: remove. 】

Xie Wenyi smiled: "The Ren Ran I know would not choose to stay here, let's take a gamble, luck is on our side."

A terrified bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.

[Li Qing, game ID: JM1104, game identity: remove. 】

The flight that was flying in the sky disappeared.

[Yin Shan, game ID: KK1104, game identity: remove. 】

There was another flash of lightning in the sky, and the dark night was as bright as day.

And the computer in the room in the old city is still running the program to automatically clear the formula, integrating all the data in the three chips, this time there will be no mistakes.

However, the pen in Ren Ran's hand didn't stop. He had a very good memory, and he could recite several player information that had jumped on the electronic screen.

Lightning bolts fell from the sky one after another, as if a huge barrier had been cracked with hundreds of gaps, the dark night was completely dispelled, and their surroundings, the sky and the earth were connected into a vast expanse of whiteness.

In the bright white, Ren Ran saw many scenes in a trance, high-rise buildings, streets and alleys, lofty mountains, green water and green mountains, white snow, countless pictures were frozen in the scene of the copy, and it was like a broken illusion, and then fell apart .

The number of copies that all data can form is 520 million.

Ren Ran also saw countless names and IDs floating in front of his eyes, which gradually became clear and then gradually disappeared.

The players' names were gradually being eliminated, and Ren Randu's luck was on their side, although he always remembered that he was a non-chief.

In the dazzling white light, he was surrounded by a familiar embrace.

"Xie Wenyi." Ren Ran called out his name, "Why didn't you tell me directly at the beginning?"

"I'm sorry, this is my selfishness. I want to know if you will still love me when we meet again."

Ren Ran didn't speak, but hugged him tightly.

"Do you know why you look like this after entering the game?" Xie Wenyi's voice fell into Ren Ran's heart.

"It's the age we just met."

After that, meet strangers.
