Doomsday Game: I become stronger by staying at home!

Hearing this, Su Yi raised his eyebrows slightly: "You said, I can bear it; you said, the worst thing is to restart."

"The necessary condition for restarting is that I have to die. Do you know how uncomfortable it feels every time it is shattered?"

Wang Peibo rolled his eyes and said lightly: "Of course, the answers to these two questions are not that serious."

"First, the real doomsday, or the real mechanism."

"At this point, as much as you want to know what the mechanism is trying to do, it's still in a state of being deciphered and we don't fully know yet."

"But at least we already know that the mechanism itself can manipulate the world's resources to a certain extent to derive [danger]."

"In the eyes of intelligent creatures, danger often corresponds to new evolution and changes."

"So in most cosmic civilization systems, the mechanism is regarded as a [test], although no one knows what it wants to test."

"Of course, it is not ruled out that it is raising gu, testing powerful individuals through danger, and then satisfying its own needs. Although this guess is unreliable, it can at least explain the source of the mechanism's power, which is in line with the law of conservation of energy."

"The so-called real doomsday is actually just a process in which the intensity of the test continues to increase. Of course, its intensity increase is unbearable for us."

"Second, when does the developmental phase end."

"You must first know that the developmental stage is not a state explicitly mentioned in the mechanism. It is just a concept proposed by me. To be precise, it is a special time node span in the mechanism that the two of us discussed and analyzed."

Wang Peibo paused and said calmly: "We regard the type of doomsday that can be endured and quickly suppressed by you as being in the development stage."

"Because the doomsday that makes you feel relaxed allows you to obtain a large amount of resources to make yourself stronger without having to face danger directly. It shows a formula that [the speed of getting stronger] is greater than [the increase in danger intensity]."

"And when this formula gradually balances and reverses itself, that's the end of the developmental stage."

"That is, the dangerous intensity of the doomsday rotation has made it impossible for you to easily solve it. Even before you have gained much means to become stronger in the current doomsday, the next round of stronger doomsday has already arrived, allowing you to gradually enter a vicious cycle until Really dead."

Just as Wang Peibo's voice fell, Su Yi couldn't help but frown and said: "According to your statement, these two issues seem to still be within the scope of the future threat theory you mentioned before, and have not reached a serious level that I don't want to know."

"Oh? Really?"

Wang Peibo raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "What if I tell you that the development stage has ended from the moment I appeared?"

"it's over?"

Su Yi was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you say before that the difficulty of the mechanism will be greatly increased in the tenth round of doomsday, so shouldn't there be at least six rounds of doomsday in development time? This means that I should have at least six more rounds of doomsday. It takes half a year to prepare!”

"No, no, no, this is just the underlying logic of the mechanism. It is the result of our discussion and verification in the initial cycle, but this result does not mean that it is an unchangeable part of the mechanism."

Wang Peibo said calmly: "To be precise, the mechanism itself does not have any immutable logic and settings. You can actually regard the mechanism as a living intelligent creature, an intelligent creature without physical existence."

"Will the mechanism change and adjust itself appropriately?"

Su Yi murmured that this was a possibility that he had never thought of. Based on Su Yi's current understanding of the mechanism, it is more like some kind of higher-level operating program in the eyes of Su Yi and most of the survivors on earth. .

A [program] naturally has its basic logic and fixed mode of operation, so how can it be changed at will?

In the past few months, Su Yi has tried many times to find loopholes and bugs within the mechanism, and many detailed attempts have been successful, which further proves the theory that the mechanism is similar to a program.

But now Wang Peibo has overturned this argument and put forward the argument that the mechanism has self-adjusting intelligence, which is no different from humans, or even far smarter than humans.

"What if?"

Wang Peibo lay lazily on the sofa, his body stretched out, as if he was about to take a nap: "You still don't really pay attention to the mechanism. I said, if the mechanism was really that simple, we would have succeeded long ago, why bother to restart so many times?" ”

"Of course, you don't have to be too discouraged. This speculation has not yet been confirmed. It is just our previous deduction and speculation. Many parts of the mechanism itself still have procedural rigidity."

Wang Peibo tilted his head and yawned tiredly: "Brother, in short, you just need to know that your situation is very dangerous now, and there is not much time left for you."

"I see."

Su Yi frowned. He looked at Wang Peibo and suddenly asked: "Is it because the mechanism is targeting me and knowing the means and abilities we can restart, so we will make relatively adaptive adjustments to provide stronger dangers in advance?" Destroy us."

"Half of the answer is correct."

Wang Peibo suddenly raised his head, looked Su Yi up and down, and smiled a little proudly: "I'm not targeting you, I'm targeting me. I said that from the moment I appear, the development time is over."

"This is because the mechanism has found out my existence in too many restarts. It cannot interfere and eliminate me, but it still knows that I exist in its program like a virus."

"When an intelligent program faces a virus in its body, it will naturally try its best to eliminate it and take different countermeasures."

"If I don't show up, you do have 10 rounds of doomsday mechanism development time."

Wang Peibo paused. Before Su Yi could ask that question, he said lightly: "Don't ask why I didn't let you develop longer before I appeared. We have deduced that ending the development stage early may not be a bad thing. This impact is two-way for us and the mechanism."

"But the difficulty is still very high."

Su Yi's brows were still furrowed. He had almost figured out the future situation that Wang Peibo was worried about: "I originally thought that if you had the means of unlimited reloading, no matter how many times we lost, we would win the last time."

"But now it seems that since the mechanism already knows your existence, it must have means and measures to deal with your ability, and now the chance of winning is even smaller."

Su Yi took a deep breath, worried in his heart.

"Don't worry. If it's a future where we're 100% sure to lose, I'm too lazy to restart."

Wang Peibo turned over and adjusted to a more comfortable sleeping position. He turned his back to Su Yi and said, "The mechanism knows my existence because I'm willing to let it know."

"Using an obvious chess piece to cover another more important chess piece can hide our true intentions."

"You mean... me?"

Su Yi was stunned, and Wang Peibo interrupted Su Yi's question: "It's not you, it's your talent, it's the loophole of the mechanism."

"This is our only chance of winning."

"You must not be discovered by the mechanism."

"We must ensure that in the judgment of the mechanism, you are just a survivor who is struggling within the coverage of the mechanism, not a BUG."

Wang Peibo's words made Su Yi blink, and he probably understood what Wang Peibo meant.

"You mean, you are a virus and I am a bug?"

"Yeah, that's understandable."

"Then, the virus and the bug have to join forces to fight against the mechanism program and find a way out?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Fuck! This statement is so weird! Why do I feel like I exist in a computer, not a real person!"
