The System Sent Me an Object [End of the World]

On December 2020, 12, snowflakes also fell in parts of Lake Province.

Although the south of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains does not usually snow in winter, it is not absolute. After all, even Nanfang City has snow records in the past ten years—although it is only as big as dandruff.Not to mention that Hu Province is an area that has experienced heavy snow disasters. In the last two years, the global temperature has undergone some changes again, so Hao Jian and the others encountered a snowstorm on Christmas Day.

Originally, You Xiaoxiao and others clamored to eat roast chicken, but the tools were not complete, so they could only make hot pot once.

This time, You Xiaoxiao contributed the wild rabbits that he had raised for several months.The last time he dug out the rabbit nest in Hao Jian's hometown, he almost dug out the whole family, no matter how big or small the rabbits were raised together.

Now that a few small rabbits have grown up, the two big rabbits are useless, so You Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate to use them for cleaning.

Lian Rumeng and the others muttered "Why do you eat rabbits when they are so cute?" while eating with gusto.

A group of people are bustling with excitement, preparing to spend another new year together.

But their ideas were doomed to fail, because Hao Jian suddenly lost contact with the system.

Hao Jian didn't feel flustered by the sudden disappearance of the system, and she didn't even feel at a loss when she realized that she couldn't use the system's authority.As early as the past six months, she also heard some news one after another, saying that a certain apostle was assassinated, and the shelter where a certain apostle hid was attacked by zombies...

And the number of apostles on the list of the Apostles Association is also decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Until a week ago, she learned that there were only more than 40 people.

In addition to the foreign apostles who acted alone and did not appear on the list of the Apostolic Association, there should be 200 to [-] people.Before contacting the system, she hinted that she wanted to squeeze into the top [-]. She felt that the loss of contact with the system was related to this.

In fact, many people in the outside world are more envious, jealous and fearful than respectful of the existence of the apostles, because apart from serving as production machines, they really have no ability to make the public submit.

People are often very vigilant and repulsive to dissidents. Although the government established the Apostles Association in order to stabilize the public's various thoughts on the apostles, there are still many people who are jealous and covetous about the apostles.

So once they have the opportunity, they will do whatever it takes to attack and exclude dissidents.

At the beginning of 2020, there is a very popular saying: "Now the government has resumed the production of some factories, and researchers have also developed excellent crops suitable for environmental growth. Our food and clothing and basic living conditions have been met. Why? What about the apostles? They have weapons in their hands, and no one knows if they will suddenly go crazy, kill us all, and then run away..."

It is precisely because of this statement that many apostles chose to flee, and then were assassinated by other apostles who caught the opportunity.

Some small refuges needed the help of the apostles because they did not get supplies in a timely manner, so they insisted on showing kindness to the apostles.However, under the operation of the rules, zombie groups will besiege those small shelters, putting the apostles in a very dangerous situation.Those with outstanding ability will naturally escape, but those with poor ability will not be so lucky.

Hao Jian told the people around him about his loss of the ability of the system. Although everyone was surprised at first, they felt that it had no effect on their lives.

Because Hao Jian has always advocated that they find supplies by themselves, including their support for the escort, which is also paid.They drove two off-road vehicles back then, and the supplies they collected and obtained were placed in the back of the vehicle. Unless they couldn't find food, they would ask Hao Jian to buy it.

As for other abilities, Hao Jian has always controlled everyone not to rely on these abilities, so she collected a set of professional equipment for Shi Gongdu and installed it on the roof of the car. all convenient.

However, for most of the hosts, they used to rely on the system on weekdays, but suddenly lost the system, which made them fall into panic, fear and confusion.

Hao Jian also received a contact from Wen Shanggao, who was really concerned about her ability.

She asked: "Wei Guojia and the others lost their ability?"

Hearing what she said, Wen Shanggao knew that her situation was the same, so he said, "I was wondering if you might be an exception."

Hao Jian smiled: "In this kind of competition, everyone has the same starting point, and the competition system is relatively fair."

"You want so much, those apostles below level 6 may be unhappy."

Hao Jian said: "I'm afraid there are no apostles below level 6 now? I think, with the number of people shrinking sharply, there may not even be a hundred apostles in the world. As for the unfairness, that is If you don't work hard, you give up a fair opportunity."

Wen Shanggao was silent for a moment, and asked, "Is it time for you to come back?"

"Do I still need to go back?"

"Have."

Hao Jian laughed again, and she said, "That's fine, I'll try to adjust the itinerary as much as possible."

……

Just two days after Hao Jian finished talking on the phone with Wen Shanggao, Wen Shanggao called her again, still asking her about it.Although Wen Shanggao didn't say it clearly, she could tell that someone's ability had come back, so he came to ask Hao Jian if he had recovered the relevant ability.

But she didn't.Ten days later, on the way back to Nanfang City, she still occasionally heard news from Shi Gongdu that someone had regained their abilities.

Just when everyone wanted to comfort her, she suddenly discovered that the system's authority had returned.However, with the reappearance of the authority, she also found some changes in the authority.

Originally, she only had experience and points displayed, but after the system's authority came back, there was an extra item of "exchange points".Her points originally exceeded 3, but they were reduced by more than 3, and these [-] points appeared on the "Exchange Points" instead.

She recalled that the more than 3 exchange points seemed to be exchanged by her in cash.Because sometimes she will sell some supplies to survivors, so if the recovered money is useless, she will exchange it for points.

And after she opened the mall, she also understood at a glance why there was such a classification.Because some supplies that could be purchased regardless of whether they were redeemed for points can only be purchased with points now.

Points are required to buy weapons, medicines, and militarized supplies. Food and daily necessities can be purchased with exchange points or with points.

In other words, the system basically restricts the host from using cash transactions to exchange the materials in the system mall.In this way, it is not very friendly to those hosts who don't do tasks, don't kill zombies, or even don't kill people.

In other words, the points they exchanged for cash on weekdays, when it came to the critical moment, it was a bit stretched to buy a bulletproof vest to protect themselves.

In addition to these, she also found some more specific data, such as level, number of zombies killed, zombie animals killed, killing, killing hosts, saving people, number of missions completed, achievements, etc. The following hosts have even more information.

Among these data, the data of killing zombies is calculated in units of [-]. Although the number of zombie animals killed is not large, it also contributed to her increase in experience.Only the two columns of killing and killing the host are two big duck eggs.

These all exist in a virtual form, invisible to others, but the changes on the back of Hao Jian's hand are visible to the naked eye - a group of Arabic numerals appeared on the back of her hand, like a tattoo, showing a dark green color The number "13".

This number can't be washed off, it seems to grow inside the flesh.Lian Runing became interested, and wanted to see if it only appeared on the surface, or if it actually grew inside the flesh.

Of course, Hao Jian would not cut off his own skin just to find out for her.Lian Runing was very disappointed, but still got her a glove for her to wear.

Although I don't know what the appearance of this number means, but when it's so sensitive, it's better to hide it first.

Hao Jian counted the days when the system disappeared, and today is exactly No. 13, and does this have anything to do with numbers?

In addition, some people recovered earlier than her. What is the reason for this?

Soon she figured it out, this is probably the ranking.

If her guess is correct, the reason why Wen Shanggao contacted her again on the third day was because someone he knew restored the system's authority on that day.Although he didn't say who it was, Hao Jian guessed it was Le Yan.

Wei Guojia was really depressed after the death of Wei Shehui, and he didn't know if there was a next level, so he was not in a hurry to upgrade, so that he was left behind who had upgraded faster.

But here comes the question, what is the ranking based on?Level, or experience, or points?

----

"2018" has been paying attention to the changes in the number of hosts at level 9. It was not until he suddenly received a temporary logout reminder from the central processing terminal system that he knew that there were only a hundred hosts left in the multidimensional information space, and the committee proposed to The new competition system that starts after the first [-] contestants are produced is about to start.

"Due to the adjustment of the new competition system, all contestants need to log out temporarily and reopen after one month. Sorry for any inconvenience!"

"2018" found that he could no longer contact Hao Jian. He could only look at these "data bodies" as if the program had been terminated, and there was no change at all.

He knew that because his day in the multi-dimensional information space might only be a minute or two of reality, because his temporary logout must not be just a matter of a while, so in order to prevent the time in it from going too fast, he simply stopped it.

Seeing this, he was a little hesitant, because he clearly realized that it is a virtual space, a data integration space, because it can be intervened artificially.

At this moment, the awakened "data body" he originally produced was also a person's thoughts, which could not help but be disturbed.If it is a living life, how can it stop its activities at will?

After leaving the multi-dimensional information space, he once again breathed fresh air and came into contact with reality.

The adjustment of the new competition system takes a month, so he has a month's rest.However, after spending two and a half years in the multi-dimensional information space, after returning to reality, he really doesn't know what he should do!

After thinking about it, he went to the Federal Library to look up historical materials dating back 200 years.

The Federal Library is the largest national library in the Federal Republic of Sarahai, and the Federation is also the most powerful country in the league. The league organizers and committees all belong to the Federation.

He is glad that he grew up in such a country, and loves it, always thinking about serving it in the future.

When he saw the advertisement of the multi-dimensional information space in the library, he realized that if the multi-dimensional information space is officially put into use, then he may not need to come to the library to read books in the future, because the multi-dimensional information space can completely import electronic information materials. And then presented in front of him in a virtual form...

He found that what he thought was what the committee was planning to implement, so when the advertisement came out, it caused a sensation immediately.

He even saw some moving clips of avatars in the advertisements. If he remembered correctly, they were the imaged images of the "data bodies" in the league.

It turned out that the committee really planned to use this league as an investment promotion advertisement, and they succeeded. According to the information found in "2018", more than 80 related chaebol groups have expressed their intention to inject capital, including Ai Royal Consortium of Dovila.

"2018" feels that it should be happy that there are so many chaebol groups interested in the multi-dimensional information space, after all, the rich rewards these contestants get come from these chaebols.

It's just that every time he thinks of rewards, he thinks of the promise he made with Hao Jian.

"It's just a virtual character, it's just data. Do I really want to fulfill my promise?" He was hesitating in his heart.

A few days later, the organizers of the league launched a promotion for the new competition system, and what caught everyone's attention the most was that after the birth of the top 1, some viewers would be invited to access the multi-dimensional information space so that they could watch the real-time competition , and tickets can only be purchased except for gifts from the league organizers and the committee, and there is a limit of [-] places.

As soon as this news came out, "2018" was shocked for a long time.Unlike his astonishment, almost everyone around him was very interested in this matter, and everyone relied on their connections to get this ticket.

"2018" was a contestant, and entered the top [-], but was given two tickets.However, his identity in the competition is kept secret, and no one around him knows that he spent all his money in order to buy "data bodies" to participate in the competition.

Besides, his family was far behind, his relatives stopped communicating with his family, and his friends also alienated him, so who would care whether he participated in the competition?

He wanted to get on the honor roll, enter the top ten, and get rewards that were rich enough to make their family turn around, and then let those who laughed at him know that he is famous and his future is hopeless Limited.

He has now taken a big step towards his goal-isn't it enough to explain his success?You must know that his "data body" is second-class, and don't look at how many high-quality "data bodies" that are most likely to squeeze into the top 1 have been brushed down now!

But at the same time, he is well aware that the awakening of the "data body" Hao Jian is also a major drawback that restrains him, because after the new competition system, the audience can watch the game at close range, so they will definitely be able to detect the abnormality of the "data body".

"2018" thought about it for two days, and decided to sell the admission ticket in his hand, and then exchanged it for a chance to visit the Alliance Genetic Information Research Institute.

This research institute was established more than 200 years ago, but it has experienced various turbulent changes during the period, and the name has also been changed again and again. After the alliance was established, the name was decided.

It is a neutral institution and a benchmark of genetic informatics, and all the talents in this field want to enter here.

"2018" got the opportunity to visit, but he did not choose to visit some confidential research rooms, but chose to go to the "brain body" where the "data body" is preserved.

Through the glass, he saw the very quiet "Hao Jian", surrounded by a lot of equipment, and a monitor next to it would display the brain cell images it collected.Although it is just a piece of data, it does not prevent researchers from analyzing its relevant information.

A recorder next to him saw him and asked with a smile, "Come here for a visit?"

"Yes." 2018 replied.

"It's been a long time since anyone visited."

"Why?" 2018 asked.

The recorder shrugged his shoulders: "I think for most people, they are not very accepting of the appearance of naked-exposed brains. It is disgusting to them."

"2018" asks, "Can I touch it?"

"Yes, its protective cover is not so fragile."

"2018" stretched out his hand and touched it. He seemed to be able to see Hao Jian always showing off his IQ in front of him calmly and nonchalantly.

"Are they still alive?" he asked.

The recorder thought for a while, and found it difficult to answer this question: "Their physiological mechanism has stopped, but in my opinion, the brain is not completely dead. They can be regarded as still alive, living in a way that we cannot see."

"2018" was suddenly touched in his heart. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Well, they are still alive."

At this moment, the thoughts that had been deposited in his heart before were suddenly resolved, and his heart suddenly became enlightened.

He felt that there was no need for him to be afraid of anything. The matter of Hao Jian's awakening would be discovered if he was discovered!Just as Hao Jian doesn't care if she loses the system, because even without the system, she still has the courage to live.And he, even if he didn't make the top ten, he still proved that he has the courage to give it a go.

What he lost now, one day he will get it back himself!

Even if Hao Jian is found to be awakened and disqualified, the "data body" is still his private property. Federal laws protect personal property. As long as the "data body" is still in his hands for a day, he can find a way to get it it wants!

……

The one-month period is coming soon, and "2018" reconnects to the personal terminal system. When he connects, the interface immediately shows the changes in the rules of the new competition system:

"Welcome back with entry number 2018. After 10 minutes, the competition will restart. The central processing terminal system has been adjusted for a month, and new competition rules have been formulated..."

1. The competition will formulate rankings based on comprehensive data, and the top-ranked contestants will enter the multi-dimensional information space in advance to continue the competition;

2. The competition is open to watch mode. According to the performance of the contestants, [-] viewers can vote for the satisfied contestants/data bodies. After the competition, the one with the highest number of votes will get additional rewards.Participants may choose to decline to participate in this session;

3...

After reading a series of rules, "2018" first thought of refusing to participate in the second point. After all, he did not want to expose Hao Jian's affairs more than anyone else.

However, the committee also said that they will not visualize the privacy of the "data body", because what the audience sees in the multi-dimensional information space is just a "rebroadcast" after data integration.

Before that, they already had a clear understanding of the "data bodies" that entered the top [-], that is to say, the performance of the previous "data bodies" would give them preconceived ideas and decide what they want to do. Watch which contestant's performance, if they find that the performance is not good, or not exciting enough, they can naturally switch to watch the object.

"2018" decided to discuss with Hao Jian first, and then decide whether to participate in this session.

He is the No. 13 person who returned to the competition, and it has been twelve days since the first contestant returned to the competition, that is to say, the lower the ranking, the more dangerous the person, because the top ranking People can completely hunt down and kill the other party before their abilities come back.

"2018" was really worried that Hao Jian would be killed within these twelve days, after all, she had been in the limelight a lot.But fortunately, her ability is still outstanding, even without the premise of system authority, she can still return to Nanfang City safe and sound.

"Hao Jian." After 2018 came back, he couldn't help calling out excitedly.

Hao Jian was a little surprised, and then said with a smile: "This is the first time you have called me by my name, is this finally treating me as a human being?"

"2018" paused, and smiled where Hao Jian could not see: "You are human, aren't you?"

……

According to the authority restrictions, the system still cannot reveal the meaning of the numbers on the back of the hand to the hosts, nor even explain why they suddenly disappeared.But they can explain the meaning of points and exchange points.

Smart people have already guessed the meaning of the numbers, and there is no need for the system to explain the difference between points and redemption points, but they do want to know why the system disappeared.

In this regard, according to the requirements of the central processing terminal system, the systems can only answer that it is because of the upgrade.This explanation has been approved by some people, but some people only care about whether they will suddenly disappear next time, because when the system disappeared, several people died.

This is because some of the hosts who have recovered the system permissions pretended that they hadn't recovered, so they secretly killed other hosts when they were unprepared, and escaped from the official control.

Hao Jian murmured to the system: "Where can you escape to? With the intervention of your central processing system, there is nowhere to hide!"

"..." The system remembered the business and asked, "By the way, do you want to go back to your old job?"

"Return to the old business? Live broadcast?" Hao Jian was a little puzzled why the system suddenly brought up this matter.

"Well, yes, but with me." The system said slightly cryptically.

Hao Jian pondered over it. Dare the system reminded her that some unknown new competition system might have joined the live broadcast mode.

"The kind of live broadcast where everyone can see what I do?"

"Privacy probably won't."

"Is it any good?"

The system said: "I feel that I am the only one who discussed with you... something that is not beneficial, what would I do?!"

After all, as far as he knew, the other contestants had never thought that those "data bodies" were actually human beings, so the decisions they made would not communicate with the hosts.But he was different, he had already regarded Hao Jian as a human being, so he naturally wanted to discuss it with her.

Hao Jian didn't even think about it: "Then do it!"

It's the system's turn to be a little confused: "Huh? You don't think about it?"

Didn't she ever think about what to do if someone finds out that she's awakened?

Hao Jian was eating noodles, and while she was eating, she asked, "Have you thought about doing anything for me?"

"Think about it, although I don't know if it will work, but if it doesn't work today, there will be tomorrow, if it won't work tomorrow, there will be a future..."

Hao Jian asked again: "Do you know what I want?"

"What you want, you have already mentioned it through Lian Runing's mouth."

"That's fine. Since you've made up your mind to help us get what we want, why don't you give you some benefits. And I've been hiding it from your central processing system for so long. How to hide it? In my real situation, I have experience."

The system was also happy: "Okay, I don't ask for the first place anymore, the top ten is fine."

In fact, for him now, whether he is in the top ten or not is not so important, because he can attract some people's attention through this "rebroadcast", which can be regarded as making an appearance in front of the public.

Of course, for Hao Jian, it is best to be in the top ten, because the top ten rewards can help him move towards his goal more quickly, and then fulfill her vision for Hao Jian earlier.

……

When the authorities found out that the apostle lost his ability, there was a sensation. The scientific research institute couldn't find out the reason, and even the apostle himself didn't know what caused it.

This matter could not be hidden, and it was soon known by ordinary people. When they found out that the apostle, whom they thought were aliens and unreachable, had turned back to ordinary people, some people couldn't help but celebrate, and even pointed at the apostle who had changed. The apostle who returned to ordinary people scolded: "What were you proud of before? What was your air? You are not the same as us now!"

Others were a little worried about whether their quality of life would decline without the apostles.On the contrary, only some beneficiaries would consider the situation of the apostles.

Perhaps it was also due to the short-term loss of the system, the apostles suffered unimaginable mental torture in this life, either sad or happy.

Then when they regained their abilities, they became more ruthless and dismissive of ordinary people, which is why so many incidents of defecting occurred by killing the apostles who had not recovered their abilities.

They used to think that if they were nice to others, others might respect them, but they found that they were wrong!Since they got the system, no one treats them as human beings, they are just production tools, so why should they serve those people?

Especially since weapons and medicines cannot be purchased with exchange points, if something happens to them, they will lose the capital of self-insurance, which is very unfavorable to them.

After the authorities found out about this situation, it was impossible to guide them. Except for a few apostles who stayed with the hosts who still chose to cooperate with the authorities for their own purposes, they basically left.

Of course, many apostles still hadn't recovered their systems after more than ten days, and soon disappeared from everyone.

But the hunt for them continues.
