Don't follow the rules

Chapter 482: Haojiu Home City (Fifty-eight)
"Passengers? You mean these dead people - the passengers of the shelves?" With the big brother in front of him to give him courage, Gao Yang couldn't hold back his damn curiosity after all, and quietly came over.

Ning Yao glanced at him and said, "Oh, it's rare that you have some good inspiration to contribute."

Gao Yang was a little flattered by his elder brother's unexpected praise, and said shyly, "Really? It's okay. After all, like Yu Min, I also like to read some street literature."

Ning Yao looked away expressionlessly: "I see. After all, your inspiration has nothing to do with reality. It can only be regarded as a joke."

Gao Yang looked depressed.

Ning Yao sneered: "What if you turn around and look at the row of shelves behind you?"

Gao Yang turned around and looked, only to see the label on the row of shelves behind him read: Guard.

"Guards?!" Gao Yang shrank back to the ground in shock. His courage, which he had finally grown, instantly shrank. He hugged Ning Yao's thighs tightly and said, "What...what is this? Are the dead bodies here stored by occupation? It's okay for passengers, but there are guards here?"

Ning Yao did not respond, but just seemed to be randomly picking up the individual labels on each human-shaped body packaging bag on the [Passenger] shelf.

[Chen Heng]
[Tan Ai]
[Pool Thoughts]
[Man Yi]
[Lu Yi]
……

Sure enough it was these people.

Ning Yao raised an eyebrow and turned to look through the shelves on the guards' row.

Not surprisingly, they were all [Geng Xun].

Ning Yao lowered his head and looked thoughtfully at his shivering little brother at his feet: "Although the label looks like a certain 'profession', it is actually the 'social attribute' that this humanoid body will play next to Chunyu after hatching. People are the sum of social relationships. As long as the social attributes and interpersonal relationships that the body needs to play are accurately planned, then this 'person' can be replicated in batches. By the way, what are your 'social attributes'? Speaking of which, you should not be a student anymore, right?"

"Ah?" Gao Yang looked up blankly. "Didn't I tell you? Actually, I just passed the postgraduate entrance examination after five attempts."

"Wu Zhan...you are really a student?" Ning Yao was surprised. "Then Yu Min and Bai Yunyou must be students too. Liang Feng has made it very clear that she is a mall employee, not a student. Then what is her identity when she appeared with you? Bai Yunyou's companion beast? Oh, right, she was not a student before."

Gao Yang was even more confused: "Brother, please speak slower. I can't keep up."

Ning Yao was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to analyze on his own: "To create an independent, complete person with social attributes out of thin air, it would take up a lot of energy in this world. But now, the alliance only needs to select a few typical people from the people that Chunyu frequently interacts with, extract their inherent characteristics, and design their social attributes, and then we can get a set of production standards."

"Combined with Rao Ze's bionic human manufacturing technology, by injecting a little copied cyber soul, it can be replicated infinitely with extremely low energy."

Gao Yang was confused by what he heard, but he still tried to be a useful supporting actor: "Then... what is the purpose of that alliance?"

"Energy saving." Ning Yao said it in one word.

"Obviously, the energy in this world is not enough to support the Alliance to implement their 'grand plan', but Du Jingxiu will never give up on this plan. Characters like Du Jingxiu, who were born from the world of Chunyu consciousness, find it difficult to obtain energy outside the world, so when they cannot increase the source of energy, they can only choose to 'cut costs'."

"Mass production of copies of old characters with the same name is the most cost-effective and efficient method."

"As long as Chunyu doesn't have any new characters around him, his brain won't automatically generate matching social attributes for the new characters, and naturally he won't have to draw on the energy of this world."

"Oh...what?" Gao Yang couldn't even continue to support the joke. Ning Yao: "So they have been designing this energy-saving plan since the Fifth Hospital? Du Jingxiu actually saw the essence of Chunyu's world so early?"

As he was talking, he was suddenly stunned: "No... maybe Du Jingxiu saw it earlier than anyone else. The two technologies of humanoid body and duplicate with the same name are the core of the plan, so inciting Rao Ze to defect is an indispensable part. If we trace it back to Rao Ze's defection... that's too early, which means that before Chunyu officially entered this world, when this world was still at the subconscious level, Du Jingxiu had already planned to snatch control of the world from Chunyu?"

Gao Yang couldn't get a word in and could only complain silently in his heart: Ning Yao is the one among them who is most addicted to street literature.

Ning Yao continued to think.

He knew clearly that this world was not the real world, but just a corner of Chunyu's consciousness. The real Chunyu seemed to be in a continuous and deep coma. Because no one disturbed him, this consciousness seemed as stable as the real world.

A world derived from consciousness is as fragile as the light and shadow on a soap bubble and can be easily destroyed by any external force.

What's the point of Du Jingxiu snatching such a fragile thing?

As long as Chunyu wakes up, everything here will be reduced to ashes.

But if Du Jingxiu has already seen this, but still goes to great lengths to plan all this, then what is the reason that supports him?

Is there anything else, is there anything else that Ning Yao hasn’t thought of?
Could it be that Du Jingxiu had obtained some information that Ning Yao didn't know?
Ning Yao shook his head firmly: "Impossible, there is no way that someone knows Chunyu better than me."

Gao Yang weakly took over the conversation: "Uh, is it your teammate who got lost?"

Ning Yao was dissatisfied: "Show some respect, he is my father."

"sorry."

Ning Yao retracted his scattered thoughts and focused his thinking on the shelves in front of him.

In fact, the group of people Chunyu can come into contact with is very limited. In addition, Chunyu is a bit of a "workaholic", so the people around him are mostly his colleagues and people he meets in ghost stories.

And ghost stories are precisely Du Jingxiu's private territory over which he has absolute control, which also means that Du Jingxiu can basically control everyone Chunyu sees.

After Rao Ze's two technologies mature, Du Jingxiu can completely prevent Chunyu from automatically producing new characters forever, and Chunyu can only retrieve information from the cached database.

It is not impossible to keep Chunyu in captivity like in The Truman Show. After all, there is already such an experimental tendency in Dream Amusement Park.

But now the strange thing is that Ning Yao didn't spend too much effort to break into such a core humanoid body cold storage. Isn't Du Jingxiu afraid that he will go crazy and eat all the bodies in the cold storage?

Although it is uncertain whether these elements are the entire inventory of the alliance, if Ning Yao really destroyed so many elements at one time, it would definitely be a big blow to the world's already scarce energy.

Is it...

Are these humanoid bodies that have not yet been activated actually no longer important?

Can the so-called "energy-saving plan" be withdrawn?
