[Comprehensive Entertainment] Reincarnation reality show

"Return to the main city."

"receive."

After bidding farewell to her friends one by one, Yili finally gave the return order in her heart, and the system responded immediately.

After a while, Yili returned to the strange and familiar main city of Yinli in the familiar teleportation dizziness.

"Eli." Her friends were already waiting at the transmission line.

"Sang Yu, Kong Yao." Yi Li looked at them in surprise, she didn't expect that they were the ones who came to pick her up this time.

"If you have something to say, let's go back and talk about it." Sang Yu, who has always been calm and capable, glanced around and said to Yili.

"Okay." Yili, who knew the secret of the reincarnated people, fully understood their prudence.

The three quickly returned to their apartment.

"Xie Cheng is waiting for you." Kong Yao said to Yi Li at the door.

"Yeah." Yili nodded, and didn't ask such stupid things as "Since Xie Cheng didn't have a match, why didn't you pick her up".

——He must have more important things to do, so he didn't appear in front of her immediately.

This is the trust between two people.If it was Xie Cheng who finished the game first, and Yi Li was in the interval between games, then she would definitely go to meet him, unless something force majeure happened and she had to deal with it first.

On the sofa in the living room, the three light screens of the optical brain surrounded Xie Cheng, and kept sliding left and right following Xie Cheng's movements.

Xie Cheng focused his gaze, switching between the screens with his fingertips like a shuttle, and the light of data flow was reflected in his dark pupils from time to time, but as the flow of data became clearer, Xie Cheng's brows frowned unconsciously.

Until the door of the apartment opened quietly, the sound of footsteps belonging to others gradually approached.

Xie Cheng didn't react for a while, he looked up reflexively, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his frowning brows also unfolded.

"I'm back." Yi Li said to Xie Cheng with a smile.

"En!" Xie Cheng almost jumped up, walked up to Yi Li in three steps at a time, and hugged her into his arms, "Sorry, I couldn't..." You come on.

"It's okay." Yi Li leaned gently on Xie Cheng's shoulder and said in a low voice.

She is not the kind of girl who needs her boyfriend to pick her up every day. For her, coming once in a while is a surprise and sweetness. enough.

Now, seeing Xie Cheng, her always tense heart finally relaxed.It was also now that Yili suddenly realized that although she had separated from the game world, she hadn't gotten rid of that nervous state of mind. Until now, until she saw Xie Cheng, she really felt at ease and at ease.

"What happened?" The two quickly sat down on the sofa, and Yi Li asked proactively.

"...Well." Xie Cheng stared at Yili for a while, and he nodded heavily until Yili became worried, "Do you still remember the abnormal log we captured before? We found the abnormality log there. The data template, but it has not been successfully located, but that template has a great impact on the host, almost to the point where it does not hesitate to restart the world."

"I remember." Yili nodded. Of course, she would never forget such a major event that concerns the fate of all reincarnated people. "So, is the positioning successful now? Or, what else happened?"

"That's right." Xie Cheng took a deep look at Yili, "The abnormal template is Kate."

"Kate?!" Yili's eyes widened suddenly.

"When you were participating in Hell's Kitchen, you met Kate. At that moment, due to your meeting, her data underwent an unknowable change, and the system defined it as a mutation." Xie Cheng explained.

"Why? It was just an encounter..." Yili murmured.

"This time, when you met Di Nisha in American Super Voice, Di Nisha's data also changed in the same way."

"..." Yili didn't know what this meant, but she always felt that it was very important.

"You know, our original plan was to use the characters created and retained by the reincarnation players in the game world to interfere with the reincarnation host in the main city to get a mobile phone opportunity, although the chance is very slim." Xie Cheng suddenly changed the subject.

"Yeah." Yili nodded. Xie Cheng had discussed this with her before, which is why she tried to find a way to contact Lisa, Leah, and Haili.

According to Xie Cheng's guess, if the reincarnation host is compared to a computer, then the so-called competition world is just like a partition in the computer, just like the C drive, D drive, E drive, and F drive in the computer.However, as a general system disk, C disk should correspond to the entire main city of Samsara, while the game world should be similar to D disk, E disk, and F disk. As a non-system disk, it can be created, deleted or formatted at any time.

Further calculations, if each reincarnator is a file in the host, then when they enter the game world, it is equivalent to copying and pasting a file from the C drive to the D drive and renaming it.After the game, the character disappeared by itself, and the copied file was also deleted.Of course, there is one exception, that is, like Yili, who chooses to spend points to keep the character after the game, then the copied file will naturally be preserved.

Informed reincarnators call this the "world duplication theory."

What does this mean?Imagine, as reincarnators, because they have the reincarnation system, the new file they represent probably has certain administrator rights.Because their actions are not within the scope of the host's calculations, in order to normally participate in this world's competition, the host must give them some permissions.Even though the contestants may not realize it, but this permission does exist, how else would they interact with other contestants?

To put it more bluntly, if there are no permissions, the copied file that symbolizes the reincarnation is a read-only file and cannot be modified in any way. That is to say, players cannot change their hairstyles, makeup, or Is it possible to change clothes?It's impossible to think about it.Therefore, the file that symbolizes the reincarnated people should be an archiveable file.

Of course, if the players leave the game world, the remaining characters are likely to be read-only files. All changes in this file are due to the manipulation and deduction of the system, and are dominated by the system's AI algorithm, rather than from the heart. In other words, the human thinking of the reincarnated person has become the artificial intelligence of the system.

So here comes the question, since reincarnators are likely to have administrator authority in the game world, can they use this limited authority to do something?For example, when faced with a retained copy file, can you try to restore it from a read-only file to an archiveable file with administrator rights?

That's what Ellie did on America's Biggest Voice.

In the indirect contact with Leah and the others, use this kind of administrator authority to try to trigger the data fragments in their background, which is the so-called "memory of the past". If the system limit is exceeded, the other party will not pop up the "Insufficient User Rights" prompt.

This sounds really incredible. How can a file spontaneously decide whether to pop up such a prompt?This should be stipulated by the system, shouldn't it?However, if the opponent is a super quantum computer capable of simulating the evolution of the entire world, anything can happen. At least, there is no doubt about the AI ​​level of each part of the system.Even if the file itself is restricted by system rules, there are too many operability outside the rules.

Currently, in order to limit the actions of the host at important moments, Xie Cheng and the others have two plans.

The first one is to use the naming characteristics of those read-only files to cause the host to fall into temporary data disorder and crash.

More specifically, it is to let reincarnations like Yili stimulate the memory of these "retained characters". When the latter remembers that they were once human beings and the truth of this world, their identities may change. At that time, Lisa was not Lisa, Leah was not Leah, and Hayley was not Hayley, and their self-perceptions were unified into "Eli".

During this process, Xie Cheng can also change their file attributes through Yili's previous contact, changing them from read-only files to modifiable archive files, as long as they can restrain the instinct to remind "the user has no permission" , Resisting the urge to report this reminder to the host, Yili and Xie Cheng's plan almost succeeded.

To put it more simply, when the source file Yili was copied from the reincarnation world of drive C to the game world of drive D for many times, she was renamed to Lisa, Hayley, and Leah successively, which is normal and allowed by the system operation, but if one day, the file names of the latter three suddenly change back to Yili, will the system be disordered?Will it crash?

The answer is yes, anyone with a little common sense about computers knows that you cannot have two files with the exact same name in a folder.If this happens, needless to say, let's check for a virus first, and the virus can be found out in the end.At this point, even future super quantum computers are powerless.

Therefore, when the system crashes and the mainframe self-checks, it is Yili and the others' chance.

Compared to the first complicated but effective solution, the second solution is much more straightforward.Rather than exploiting the inherent flaws and loopholes of the system, this solution relies more on Xie Cheng himself.In this plan, Xie Cheng will use all the resources in his hands to find the location of the host from the path of the read-only file, and then launch a violent DOS attack.

As we all know, DOS attacks do not have high technical requirements for themselves, but they have very high requirements for resources. In the final analysis, DOS attacks are a resource duel. Who can use resources to explode the opponent, and who can eat all the resources of the opponent. Whoever wins, it's that simple and rude.But for Xie Cheng, how could his resources be on par with the reincarnation host?

Behind him are just reincarnations who have nothing, but the system has everything.Not to mention, in between, the data processing speed of the two is very different.This is destined to be a tough battle, and a tough battle that is bound to fail, but in this battle, all he has to do, all he can do, is just delaying time, and he doesn't really expect to win against the host.

Therefore, the efficiency and effect of this plan cannot be compared with the first one, and it can only be said to be a backup plan.

"So, what do you want to do now?" Yi Li looked at Xie Cheng.

"It's not a question of what I want to do." Xie Cheng sighed lightly, feeling a bit reluctant to tell Yi Li the cruel truth.He knew that the Yili he liked was not such a fragile girl, but she was too easy to give her sincerity. Even if she was a destined opponent, as long as the other party showed kindness, she would regard him as a true friend. This is the most important thing in Yili. Lovely flaws—well, maybe this is Xi Shi in Xie Cheng's lover's eye.

"What do you mean?" Yili frowned slightly, not quite understanding what Xie Cheng meant.

"When Kate was finally located, I started to think about a question." Before Yili could ask, Xie Cheng continued, "We are reincarnators, Lisa and Chester are based on the data we generated, what about Kate?" What about Denisa? What are the players who participated in the competition with us? What are the thousands of ordinary people we have never met?

We don’t know much about the latter, so let’s leave it alone, but is the former really random data generated by the system?Can pure data be so fresh, so vivid, so indistinguishable from real people?Even if it is a super quantum computer beyond our imagination, can it do this? "

Xie Cheng's series of questions is not so much questioning himself, but rather torture this unreasonable world.

Yi Li was stunned, those questions that she had never considered before flooded into her heart like a tide.

No, has she really not considered these issues?Is she really not curious about the truth of this world?

No, when she first entered this world, what she had thought about, what she had thought deeply about, was that after running around for too long in each game, she gradually got used to it—what a terrible thing.

But what is more terrifying than this should be the truth that even Xie Cheng couldn't bear to tell.

"So, what are they?" Yili asked in a low voice.

An answer faintly appeared in her heart, but that answer was so terrible that she was unwilling to admit it.

She never knew that she was such a timid person. The truth she had been longing for was close in front of her eyes, but she turned a deaf ear to it.

"They were once like us."

Xie Cheng took a deep breath, and only then did he say the answer that both of them had expected but was still sad.

"Maybe not long ago, maybe a long time ago, they also came to this world as reincarnations."

"Here, they have worked hard and struggled, but they still failed. They have not been able to leave here from beginning to end."

"Their souls were annihilated in that furnace, and the characters they created became part of the world."

"All the players who have had contact with us may be their last remaining proof..."

Before Xie Cheng could finish speaking, Yi Li had already covered her mouth, crying uncontrollably.

It never occurred to her that Kate, Denisa, Bertha...

They, too, were reincarnations.

They also struggled for their own destiny.

It's just that they all failed, and they all became great victims of this city...

Yili has no doubts about Xie Cheng's words, she knows that her lover is not the kind of person who just talks about it.

The fact that he can say these things with such certainty means that he has enough evidence to prove it all.

The fact is indeed the case, when Xie Cheng pieced together the truth of this world from countless channels, he was no less astonished than Yi Li.

"Feel sorry……"

This was the first time Xie Cheng saw Yili crying like this, and he was at a loss for what to do.

But soon, he came back to his senses, carefully hugged the girl into his arms, and patted her on the back.

"It's okay, it's okay, no one will do this again..."

"With us, with me, with you, and countless reincarnations, we will change everything..."

He didn't know whether he was talking to Yi Li or to himself, but he knew that this was a real promise.

No matter what happens, he will never let this tragic history repeat itself.

"Um……"

Yi Li cried almost choked up, but she nodded vigorously when she heard Xie Cheng's words.

"They shouldn't be left here."

"I thought, take them home."

"Okay, let's take them home."
