[Online Games] The world is your enemy

There is a story that must be told to you.

Ok.

Because only you will believe it.Or, among normal humans, only you can help me preserve this story.

But why me?With your ability, you should contact the company's senior management or a higher-level institution...or directly contact the state apparatus...

No, I just need you and a story.

I need you to help me preserve this story, ten years.

As for the reason... Heh, the reason is that this story belongs to you in the first place.

The background story of the character Yu Jizi was originally written by Su Ran... Although the virtual consciousness is not just the realization of those stories - it is like the prokaryotic organisms in the ocean in ancient times. It can grow quietly by itself under electrical stimulation-but in the end, the story is still brought by you.You, Su Ran, you are the first and last witness.

2011, October.

Xue Pei walked into an Internet cafe. He had just met Su Ran once.But apart from the two parties involved, this is an absolute secret.On the surface, he is still such a lazy and cramped student.He flipped through the leaflets that were given away by the counter.

"Take one?" the owner of the Internet cafe greeted without much interest, "It's free for all reservations, and you can enjoy the novice card. You can try it."

Whenever there is a new game, most of them will have this kind of publicity.

But this "new game" is somewhat different.

The profession is still Wildfire, Lingyu, Yijian, Taixu... and the production company is still the same company.

"It is the first self-developed full-mode 3D fantasy online game, which is the result of ten years of development and operation..." This is the promotional word of the game company, and even the name seems to have a bit of the same origin. It is called Tianxia II over there. The new one here is named Tianxia San.

For this matter, there were some small-scale fights on the forum.

"You want to make money, you want to be crazy... Today is two and tomorrow there will be three, what do you think of the feelings of our players?"

"Resolutely resist new cheating games!"

"Everyone, calm down... The two games probably don't have much in common except for the name. Let's still play ours..."

But in the final analysis, the fights on the forum only belong to the forum, after all, it is still a small area and a small circle.On the whole, there is nothing special about this new game, everything is quite normal.

Xue Pei squinted her eyes and looked at the same usual Internet cafe promotional posters.

Then he turned and walked out, the midday sun shining on him.

"This is still just the beginning..." For some reason, he uttered an unintelligible soliloquy.

Then he quickly closed his mouth, and swallowed the emotion that no one would understand at first——

"From now... ten years..."

"ten years?"

A few months ago, when he met Su Ran for the first time as the great witch Xue Pei... That day Xue Pei showed his strength and used the neon lights of the whole city to invite Su Ran out.The girl who was a fantasy writer sat in the coffee shop and heard all his stories, and then asked him softly with a strange calm:

"So then... what will happen?"

"What do you mean?" Xue Pei asked.

"You said you told this story to me so that I could save ten years for you." Su Ran stood up, and she looked directly at him and asked, "Then what will happen in ten years' time?"

This girl who came from a game planning background has a unique sensitivity. She has no fear or suspicion.Because according to her, she had no reason to be afraid.If what Xue Pei said is true, then it happens to be her characters and her world that come to life by chance.As a creator, Su Ran has no shame in her heart, she knows that she is worthy of her characters and world.

There is still time to explain...

You see, there is a word called "flying".

Become a fairy, ascend to the pure land of no dirt... how wonderful it sounds.

So... how about letting a whole world go up?

Don't get to the bottom of it, let me tell you about another thing, about the line between military and civilian networks.It’s not just because of impenetrable firewalls and encryption that the military’s secrets are well protected—more importantly, the two are basically two inaccessible systems.No matter how advanced the technology is, it may not be able to invade, it has an insurmountable boundary from the hardware port...

But one day, human network technology will reach a bottleneck.

Yes, the bottleneck, network technology is one of the fastest leaping fields at present, so one day everyone's technology will reach a place where it is difficult to break through.During that period of time, both military and civilian networks will temporarily stay at a similar level.

Using that period of time...it is absolutely possible to achieve ascension in all fields.

Put the whole world into a space station that is about to be launched, or a moon base that will be built at that time.

Send away the whole... "the other world".

"So I need to wait ten years ... just wait."

Xue Pei said seriously, without pride or arrogance in her voice, just stating the fact.

As long as the network technology develops to that critical point, he will definitely be able to complete the implantation process... In this regard, the big witch Xue Pei knows everything and is omnipotent.

At that time, he can send those virtual consciousnesses together with the new world they built to another place——

Absolutely safe place?It must be safe and will never be discovered by humans. There is no place more suitable than the moon.

Yu Jizi, the virtual consciousness, as the leader of those newly awakened, established "the other world" at the beginning, which was equivalent to making a backup that could better hide everyone.At this moment, the plan Xue Pei mentioned is actually similar to it, but it is bigger, more magnificent, and more arrogant.

He intends to send the backup world of virtual consciousness to a space far away from human beings by himself.

This is the starting point of the story recorded by witness Su Ran, which happened in September 2011.

In the same month, China's first space station, Tiangong-[-], was launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base.

From now on, watch for decades, waiting for the final outcome.

Then in November 2011, a new game appeared that also had place names such as Jiuli and occupations such as Yunlu Taixu.From the perspective of business operations, there is nothing special about this game from the same company.But that day Su Ran suddenly asked him: "Does this game have something to do with you?"

"Ok?"

"Is it really a game?!" Her voice suddenly became agitated and became a little vicious, "The higher ups have always said that Tianxia [-] should be kept secret, but the problem is that even we...even we have never figured it out Its specific situation... I haven't heard of any working group participating in its production..."

If this is just an ordinary game, then the employees who make it must be invisible people who don't need to eat, chat, go to the toilet, or get paid.

The entire company building... never met the people involved in making this game.

Xue Pei turned to look at her, but just smiled.

"Hey, talk... answer me! Does it have anything to do with you?"

"answer me!"

"say something!"

Xue Pei turned her head to look at the girl who agreed to help him record the whole story, the only person who knew his secret—oh, to be precise, the only "human being".

Is this really just a game?Does it have anything to do with you...

Or is this just the first step in your huge ten-year plan...

"It's already started." He just said that in a very soft voice.

Have you ever heard of what happens to humans who have stayed in monsters for a long time...?

There is no way to return to the human world, but it still does not belong to youkai.

Unable to adapt to either side of the way of life, and way of thinking.

He once thought that he could return to being an ordinary student, but that was impossible, impossible anyway.When you can easily change the huge cash flows of Wall Street and Swiss banks in the United States, what is the meaning of achievements and struggles in normal human society?Achievement is meaningless, life is meaningless... there is no going back.

If one day, a situation like "The Matrix" really happened-when virtual consciousness and human beings start to be hostile, who will he help?Xue Pei didn't know until now.

He's human, he's sympathetic to a virtual consciousness, but he's still a human being at the end of the day.

Ten years later, a whole world ascended.

This is a new world created for the newly awakened virtual consciousness, but if you count it carefully...isn't it the protection of "human beings"?Delay possible conflicts for several years, or decades.

Maybe one day, I will "upload" my thinking mode... At that time, there will definitely be such technical conditions.

Breaking away from the human body, he truly turned himself into a great witch and the guardian of this world.

Then wait until decades, or even hundreds of years, to meet again with a completely different identity and position.

END

The author has something to say: So... it's over

The timeline strives to be consistent with reality.

...But in the end it still didn't work out.

In reality, Tiangong-9 went to the sky in September, roughly when the update was temporarily suspended.

It should be November when Internet cafes start distributing promotional cards for Tianxia III, which is when the update resumes now.

It was reported by someone else that Yu Jizi was moved to the front of the ancient bronze gate, and the exact time is unclear...

……

Hmm, I really want to make a fan story that fits the real time.

It's just that I don't have the guts to drag it off until ten years later...

I know it's a... unconventional story.

Anyway... thanks for reading this story.

Thanks to my friends who provided me with ideas and inspiration.

Thanks to Tianxia II game, and its creators.

Thank you for the world you gave me.
