Infinity through different life

Chapter 363 This must be a fake NPC, right? (two in one)

Xu Jing set the character name to a hidden state, and then devoted himself to the study.

Time flies, and a day passes in a blink of an eye.

This day was very pleasant for Xu Jing. Not only did he catch up on a lot of movies he hadn't seen, but he also gained the experience of raising his authority. At the same time, he gradually began to understand Halliday's hobbies.

But for Wade, this day was a torment. He felt very painful every class. The whole day seemed like a year had passed. He finally waited until school was over and watched the students around him leave or disappear. In his seat, he had to hold back until he was the only one left in the empty classroom.

"Oh!"

He finally cheered and quickly rushed out of the classroom door and ran to the hall on the first floor.

Xu Jing stopped studying when the school bell rang, and waited for Wade. After seeing the other party appear, he immediately said seriously: "Since you came as agreed, let's make an agreement."

As soon as the words fell, Wade received a prompt message: "A request from Ultron."

At this moment, his heart almost jumped out, Ultron?

Isn't this supposed to be the superhero world in District [-]?Why are you here?

And how is this Ultron different from the one in the movie?
Wade's mind is full of doubts. There are more than a thousand schools in Ludes, all of which are the same low-level NPCs. However, their school has a high-level NPC with a name and surname who can issue tasks, but he feels that no matter whether this Ultron is that Ultron, there must be something wrong with this.

It must be a hidden mission!
He was very excited, and looked at the content of the task - to guide and accompany Ultron to play games, five hours, reward: 1000 gold coins.

"..."

Wade was stunned.

This is too far from the hidden mission he imagined, no matter how you look at it, it is an ordinary mission.

However, this task does not seem to be difficult. The reward of 100 gold coins is a huge sum of money for him. Converted into US dollars, it is [-] yuan, which is comparable to his income from repairing computers for several days, and playing games. Only five hours.

If you look at it this way, the rewards can be considered very generous. You must know that in the real world today, the unemployment rate has repeatedly hit new highs, and the fast food restaurants in the community are facing job applications that can only be processed in two years.

This should be a precursor to the hidden mission, and it certainly is.

He kept guessing, and accepted the task without hesitation: "I am willing to help you."

"very good."

Xu Jing was satisfied. It took him a whole day to upgrade his authority to the third level. In addition to further expanding the scope of activities, he also had the function of issuing ordinary tasks, but the rewards had to be paid by himself, and he could not set too much Low.

The mission he released requires at least five hundred gold coins to pay, but he deliberately increased it to one thousand.

If Wade is really the protagonist as he thinks, then this investment is definitely worth the money.

Maybe we'll find out soon.

Xu Jing opened a "chat room" alone in the afternoon.

The chat room in the oasis is not something like a webpage, but a created building or room like a school. The larger the space, the higher the fee.

People who buy a chat room can arrange it as they like, decorate it with whatever they want, modify it as they like, and just use their ideas.

Xu Jing's chat room is very simple, just a room of about [-] square meters. There is a large comfortable sofa in the room. In front of the sofa is a large-screen TV, which is connected to a Xiaobawang game console.

In addition, the shelves against the wall are full of game cassettes, audio and video tapes, and discs, which are the embodiment of the movies and TV shows he bought.

There is also an arcade machine in the room, he can switch any arcade game as he likes, and there is also a jukebox next to it, which is playing the classic song "Wild Child" by Duran Duran at the moment.

"Wow!"

Wade obtained the permission to enter the chat room, and after condensing his body in the room, he immediately exclaimed, his eyes lit up, and he walked around the room excitedly.

Xu Jing was very satisfied with Wade's reaction. Only those who are really devoted will dedicate their love to what Halliday likes, and the other party's performance is exactly like this.

In addition, it may be Wade's preconceived idea, so he ignored an important issue, that is, only players can create chat rooms.

Naturally, Xu Jing would not wake up Wade, and he didn't bother him, anyway, it wasn't too short of time.

Wade seemed to be in love with everything on the shelf. He really liked everything here. Ever since he found his dream, he had been hopelessly addicted to it, and he didn't care even if his grades were a mess.

Halliday's taste is not clear and he listens to everything, so he also accepts pop, rock, new wave, punk, and heavy metal, and even memorizes all the lyrics he hears verbatim.

In order to win the competition, Halliday has read every movie, TV series, and comics he has collected. For this reason, he often tosses until midnight, making himself exhausted before going to bed.

He's unmatched in his commitment to the game, especially the game.

Wade found that he had an unparalleled talent for games, classic arcade machines, home computers, consoles, handhelds, text adventures, No.1 shooting, third-person role-playing, eight-bit machines, sixteen-bit machines and 32-bit machines in the last century The more difficult the game is, the more he enjoys it.

He can master most action games in just a few hours, and role-playing games are even easier for him. He never needs to use strategies or cheats.

Even in the current oasis, although he has not officially started his career as a hunter, he believes that from the day he walks out of Ludes, his name will be known by everyone like Ai Qi, no, he will definitely be better than Ai Qi. And to be famous.

After ten years of sharpening a sword, try the edge once.

Wade believes that he will be the first to reach the top of the standings in the future.

After visiting around, he remembered his mission and began to enter the teaching state. He picked a few game cassettes from the shelf, sat on the sofa, and then inserted the cassette into the game console, saying: "I will teach you from the two-player game. .”

"it is good."

Xu Jing looked at the screen. The game he was playing was Contra. He had played it several times in his previous life, but he was not proficient.

In the competition against Halliday's Easter Egg, especially in games, his shortcomings are obvious, and he can't be taught by a master if he just looks at the strategy by himself.

"This game can adjust lives, the password is up and down, left and right, left and right, BABA, after the adjustment, there will be 30 lives..."

Wade is very conscientious, and he can teach everyone. Anyway, these games have the most perfect strategies online, and he is not afraid of competition. Look at talent.

Xu Jing found a strategy guide on the Internet, and silently listened to Wade's explanation. He memorized everything exactly where there would be food items, what kind of enemies there would be, and how to beat each level.

Wade played like a textbook, he survived until he cleared the level, and then said: "You should memorize it all, as long as you practice a few times, you will be familiar with it soon."

He knows that NPCs are all artificial intelligence, they can memorize what they see visually, and they have a strong learning ability.

"I think I should have learned and mastered it."

Xu Jing picked up the controller and started playing the game again.

He has entered the stage of subtle control over his body since the first level of Shenhun. The current oasis world is real to him, and the body at this time is equivalent to a real body with artificial intelligence talent. Under the combination of spirit and soul, he felt that even if he was playing for the first time, as long as the consciousness was achieved, reasonable manipulation could be achieved, and he would never hold back.

Sure enough, after he became familiar with the operations of shooting, jumping, and lying down, he started running like a perfect machine.

With a smile on his face, Wade didn't take what Xu Jinggang said in his heart, but soon, his expression changed, he couldn't believe it, and asked in surprise, "You really just learned this?"

"Yes." Xu Jing also passed the level with his life, "Okay, let's change to the next game."

Wade was suspicious in his heart, and changed the cassette, this time it was Double Dragon, and he only taught it once again, and then he watched Xu Jing master the game.

Then he tried the battle axe, thunderbolt, chaos, anger...

He taught each of them once, and after reading it, Xu Jing became proficient in the same way.

Wade was extremely shocked. Although he had expected that the NPC had a strong learning ability, he did not expect it to be so strong. This must be a very advanced AI, right?
He stood up in disbelief, walked to the arcade and sat down, and said, "Let's change our taste and play some battle games."

"Okay." Xu Jing dropped the controller and sat down in front of the arcade, "What are you playing?"

"The egg fight," Wade said.

Xu Jing's heart moved, and the arcade machine changed to the corresponding screen. He threw two game coins, held the joystick and said, "How do you play this?"

"It's very simple." Wade said up and down.

In the two-player mode of Egg War, each player controls a knight holding a spear, the main player rides an ostrich, and the secondary player rides a crane. Players not only have to control the characters to attack each other, but also have to deal with computer-generated enemies.

The computer is a vulture knight, and it will turn into a green egg after being killed. If it is not blown up, the computer will emerge from the egg. In addition, sometimes, a full-screen attacking pterosaur will suddenly appear in the game.

Every time a player dies, one life will drop. Whoever loses the last life first will lose.

Wade has been playing this game with Ai Qi some time ago. At the beginning, he was abused by Ai Qi very badly, but after going back to practice dozens of games with the computer every day, he has already tortured Ai Qi to explode, and vowed never to play with him again play this now.

Now facing Xu Jing, he is more dissatisfied in his heart. You must know that every time he is proficient in a game, it will take at least several hours, and some even take longer.

Without comparison, there is no harm, and he felt very shocked in his heart.

Fortunately, NPCs will not participate in the easter egg competition, otherwise the players will be at a great disadvantage in terms of learning.

Wade refused to admit defeat. Even if he guessed that Xu Jing was an advanced AI, he would still win. He believed that there is no invincible AI.

Especially in games like Bird's Egg, because the program will not improve, the current AI still does not have the real thinking ability, and adapting to changes is based on the predictable calculation program, and it is absolutely impossible to predict some of his unexpected actions , The opponent's every move seems to be perfect, but there must be traces to follow.

This is the truth of video games, at least until humans create a real artificial intelligence, absolutely true.

Xu Jing could feel Wade's competitive spirit, but he didn't care about it. Instead, he was a little happy. From Wade's superb game skills, he felt that the other party was the protagonist, and there was such a powerful master to play games with him, so he started to learn. Much faster than groping by himself.

"let's start!"

Wade looked solemn and looked very serious.

Xu Jing also concentrated his attention and started the game.

A few minutes ago, Wade hadn't forgotten that he was teaching, so he dealt with Xu Jing before he came up. After Xu Jing became familiar with the operation, the two sides started a formal battle.

As soon as Xu Jing got started, he quickly entered the state. Although he has never played this game, his advantage is still obvious.

The soul plus the advantages of artificial intelligence, under the "dual-core" operation, you can calculate various results when you see the screen, each attack is extremely precise, dodge or retreat without sloppy, and the trajectory is perfect.

However, Wade is also worthy of being a game master. With his talent, he was able to keep up with Xu Jing's rhythm, and his reaction was unexpected. Xu Jing's several attacks were fruitless, and he even set up traps to counter-kill.

But it's a pity that Xu Jing is not a real AI. He also responds quickly, and the actions he makes are also beyond Wade's expectations, sometimes even completely unexpected.

Wade had no time to think. He had already died once and was at a disadvantage in this competition. However, this also stimulated his desire to win and his operations became sharper.

The two sides are back and forth, in a stalemate, and as time goes on, more and more vultures are on the screen, forcing the characters they control to flee.

The more Wade played, the more surprised he became. He couldn't believe what he saw. The reason why he was confident that he could beat Xu Jing was because the AI ​​couldn't predict his unexpected moves. But after playing this game, he found that he Big mistake.

Is this really an NPC?

He even suspected that the person playing the game with him was a human with AI capabilities, or a real artificial intelligence.

too frightening.

False, this must be false, right?
Wade could feel the sweat dripping from the lower edge of his mask and his forehead in reality, he resisted the urge to wipe his face, and he didn't dare to be careless.

He didn't want to lose and was very dissatisfied. He slapped the buttons and shook the joystick frantically, but in fact he was just struggling to death.

Soon, his character goes to the end of his life first, being mobbed and exploded by a group of vultures.

Lose yourself.

Wade turned his head and stared at Xu Jing. Because he practiced a lot recently in the battle of eggs, his hands were hot, and even Ai Qi was about to be tortured by him, but here, he lost to a freshman. An NPC to play with once.

"you……"

He had a lot of questions in his heart, but he didn't know how to ask them.

Do you want to ask if the NPC in front of you is a real NPC?

When he thought about it, he thought this question was idiotic. If the other party hadn't been an NPC, how could he have issued the mission?

"You are very good." Xu Jing affirmed: "You are only worse than me, but I still have a lot to learn from you, let's continue."

"..." Wade.

The character he controlled wiped his face with his sleeve, and was already sweating profusely in reality.

Xu Jing asked, "What to learn next?"

"Street Fighter." Wade still didn't give up.

……

Five hours later.

Xu Jing put down the handle, patted Wade on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, I gained a lot today."

"..."

Wade looked devastated. He had already received a thousand oasis points as a reward, and gained a lot of experience. He had been promoted to two levels in a row, but he was not happy at all. Instead, he was a little doubtful about life.

"Are you coming after school tomorrow?"

Xu Jing looked forward to saying that through today's study, he has verified his strength and found a faster way to learn. For clearance type, he only needs to watch Wade play it once, and he can even directly find videos online to watch. As for battle type, , then it would be better to have a master to train with you.

As long as this continues, it won't take long for him to be proficient in all games.

Wade took a deep breath and asked, "Can I bring a friend here? He is also a master."

"Yes." Xu Jing was eager, took out a blank permission document to enter the chat room, and handed it over, "But I won't pay you much."

"No problem." Wade took it from his hand and finally smiled, "See you tomorrow then."

He decided to bring Aiqi tomorrow. As a good friend, he must share this good thing with Aiqi, who can not only play games, improve his level, but also get oasis points and experience rewards.
