Invasion Civilization: Summoning Players To Push Across The Backside

Along the Pearl River, the night breeze is gentle.

"Mom, I'll be home in 15 minutes, I'll be there soon."

"You asked 5 minutes ago, I have grown up on this road since I was a child, and I will definitely not get lost... Well, I've seen Sunshine Elementary School... Got it, I'm definitely not going to walk and look at my phone, well, bye.

"I said, Xiaohang is so old, there is no need to rush him home so urgently, in case he is with the girl he wants, don't you delay his good deeds?" * '∀')" (Dad's teasing) "

You shut up! ( ̄ ε(# ̄)☆╰╮o( ̄ dish ̄///)" (mother's angry voice).

"Hearing

that my parents are so old and have such passion for each other.

Sky twitched the corner of his mouth and hung up his mother's life-threatening serial call.

Look up against the night breeze and look across the river.

It was already 10 p.m.

Under the curtain of the night, the lights in countless tall buildings are like countless twinkling stars, and in these small stars, figures smaller than them move like silhouettes... Regardless of the era, the skyline of the big city is a sight to behold.

This sight reminded Sky of the level of the recent expedition.

Level 11。

"It's a pity that I didn't see Level 11 at night."

"If the night of Level 11 can be recorded, Angela will definitely be envious to death."

Sky couldn't help but sigh slightly.

After defeating the crusher, the sun had already touched the horizon and it was about to be night.

Unfortunately, before he could see the night scene, he was called to the rescue by the base chief.

And then...... Cool.

Although there are regrets.

But Sky is not a pity, he believes that one day, he will be able to reach Level 11 again.

And he found that he had grown to like the feeling.

The feeling of adventure.

In addition to the desire for rewards, every time you explore a tier with your companions, there is a sense of surprise and anticipation in discovering a new map.

How big will the map of Level 11 be?

Will it be bigger than the entire Flower City?

The phone keeps popping up messages.

Sky eventually disobeyed his mother's instructions and played with his phone while walking on the road.

A large series of "Didi Didi" messages naturally came from the forum.

When is the forum most lively?

That's of course before each game version update!

["Backrooms" version 1.05 update, community system front: favorability evaluation system]

Sky has to say, the planner and administrator of this game is really appetizing!

Every update, the essence of the version will be put up, but what is not revealed, have to wait for the moment of the update to be announced, engaged in their many players itching in their hearts, so they had to chat wildly below to quench Mei's thirst.

This admin is also true.

In addition to banning and banning, basically do not communicate with them.

Just as Sky wanted to participate in the discussion, a private chat message was sent.

[Dreaming without waking up]: "Sky boss, are you there?"

[Skywalker]: "Yes, what's wrong?" [

Dreaming without waking up]: "That's right, I heard that when you cut into Level 11, you were nicknamed by the base commander, and then activated the exclusive mission, right?"

[Skywalker]: "Yes. [

Dreaming without waking up]: "He also called me my name today, is it that I am also going to activate the exclusive mission?" Sky

thought for a moment and replied, "It's possible, it may be related to favorability, I asked Cao Thief about them, and the base commander still called them 'explorers'." [

Dreaming without waking up]: "Oh, then can you tell us what happened after you activated the exclusive mission?" [

Skywalker]: "I'm dead." [

Dreaming without waking up]: "??? [

Dreaming without waking up]: "Isn't it?!" Does activating an exclusive mission kill you? I don't want to give away a single blood." QAQ

" [Skywalker]: "Don't worry, listen to me." [

Skywalker]: "I went on a trading mission, went back to the base commander, fought an elite monster of Lv 135, the crusher, and then was crushed back to the city during the rescue mission."

[Skywalker]: "To be honest, this death could have been avoided, and if I had prepared a support bar in advance, or had cleared the rubble from the upper floor first, I would not have died."

[Dreaming without waking up]: "Oh oh, it's that exclusive missions are dangerous, and they are not dangerous, right?"

[Skywalker]: "Yes, if you don't want to die, it's best to take exclusive missions with the base commander in the level that has already been explored, such as Level 1, and don't go to those unknown levels." [

Dreaming without waking up]: "Okay, I know, thank you Sky guy!" "

End the chat.

Sky put away his phone and looked out at the sparkling river.

The sound of the gurgling river echoed in his mind, making his thoughts clearer.

It was overshadowed by passion and excitement, so I didn't have time to think deeply.

But after calming down, he suddenly found that when facing the trapped faceless spirit father and daughter, the base commander seemed to be encouraging himself to die.

His identity is that of an M.E.G. warrior who is supposed to protect the people, so the base commander will weigh up and choose the father and daughter between himself and the father and daughter, and let himself risk death to save people.

Although reasonable, it requires a certain ability to think logically.

Does AI have such a high IQ?

The sound of a horn on the road in the distance interrupted Sky's thoughts, and at this moment, he suddenly had a bold idea.

NPCs in the base....

Could it be that the game company personnel are pretending?

......

Official website

: ["Backrooms" version 1.05 update, community system front: favorability evaluation system

] [Xiao] (administrator): "Hello everyone, after sacrificing hundreds of siege lions and program apes, the 1.05 version of the heart is finally updated and online, for the sake of planning is so hard, can you like it?" "

[What's new]

1. New task type

: Level-exclusive task description: Level-exclusive task, which refers to a task that will only be triggered after reaching a specific level.

(PS: Arrival at Level 10 and Level 11 will be triggered)

2. The AI of the base NPCs is further enhanced.

Already has a strong emotional feedback module, and realistic character behavior logic, to provoke Bloss in the future, he may beat you up, provoke Gardel, and open the blind box in the future has a probability of opening "Thank you for patronage" Oh ~

3. Daily task update: comfort

Dr. Part Recently, Dr. Part fell into extreme autism for unknown reasons, give it love (crossed out) to chat with it, and explore the truth of Dr. Anser's betrayal.

4. The third round of game test - Part A The third round of game

test is the most important test part, which will be divided into A, B, C a total of 3 parts to advance sequentially, Part A will enroll 5,000 people, test qualifications in the form of questionnaire + lottery.

5. Added more unknown layers

6. Fixed a small number of bugs

7. Mandatory

offline time change For players over the age of 18, the mandatory offline time is no longer limited to 0~6 o'clock the next day, and the online time in a single day cannot exceed 16 hours, and there is no limit if there are special events.

Ye Xiao exhaled lightly: "Next is point 8. That's

the heart of this update.

8. Community system front:

As the most important part of the 1.05 version, Ye Xiao felt it necessary to explain two sentences as an administrator.

[Xiao] (Administrator): "Some time ago we drew a big pie that would unlock the community system when we arrived at Level 11, but now there is a situation where the production team regrets to tell everyone that the community system is still being improved. [

Xiao] (administrator): "But in order to see the results as soon as possible, and in order to repay the enthusiasm of the players, the working group made a very bold decision: to launch an important part of it, the favorability rating system, in advance. [

Xiao] (administrator): "I believe that many friends have noticed that the game has the evaluation value of 'favorability', but before version 1.05, it was not of specific use, and it was not even displayed in the system panel.

"But now, it's working."

Favorability evaluation system description:

At present, only the main NPCs have a favorability for "you", and the favorability of different NPCs may affect each other.

The higher the favorability, the richer the dialogue triggered and the more rewarding the mission, and vice versa.

Value range: -50~100.

(PS: Saying bad words to NPCs, or doing strange and dangerous things, will greatly deduct the favorability)

[Xiao] (administrator): "We often think about how to build a virtual community that is friendly to human-computer interaction with "Backrooms", which focuses on sandbox + warmth + breakthrough, rather than a runaway and disorderly fast food world.

"Of course, this is the next version, or even the next version."

Skillfully edit game announcements.

Ye Xiao felt that he was more and more like a qualified planner, and after checking that there were no typos, he clicked upload with satisfaction.

As expected.

Just 1 minute later, the comment section below has already exploded.

However, to Ye Xiao's slight surprise, only half of them were discussing the "favorability evaluation" as the finale, and the other half were arguing about the third round of game testing.

One of the hottest comments

: [High Cold Diamond Block]: "Groove? Only 5,000 people? Can't dog planning recruit more people at once? Or your server can't stand it... What the? Places haven't started yet? Planning dad I'm wrong, can you give me a spot? (づ ̄ 3 ̄)づ"

..."

Ye Xiao rolled his eyes.

Players want to go into the back room and experience the thrill of adventure and violent assault on entities, why doesn't he want his little leeks and thugs more?

It's a pity that the balance does not allow ah.

Brainless rioters don't make sense.

What limits the number of players is the weapon capacity and the size of the territory.

The second test player has a gun ownership rate of 50%, and uses USP and MP5, which are small-caliber firearms with low power.

Although they do not lack the courage to charge at Lv 200 level bosses, courage alone is useless.

In the face of Ethan, it is impossible to take bricks and iron bars to beat.

At the very least, she must have an MP5 to sharpen her defenses.

Otherwise, an AOE skill is directly cleared, and there is no point except for deducting a bunch of structural energy.

Or, put the spring water in her face.

In the traditional MOBA confrontation game, in the face of low-AI NPCs, players can also use some monster tricks to lure the boss to the vicinity of the spring and grind to death little by little.

But the NPCs in Backrooms are actually real people.

In other words, highly intelligent AI.

Can think, have feelings, no fixed lines and patterns of behavior.

So, it's very likely that this will happen: you and your companions prepare your weapons, lay traps, and crouch for 3 days and 3 nights before encountering the boss.

Halfway through the result, people answered a communication, saying that TA's mother called TA to go home for dinner, turned around and walked away at the speed of light, leaving you with a confused face.

Or, you can evoke enough hatred.

Or, the opposite side is stupid enough.

But Ethan Nelson, as the leader of the masked girls, she will definitely not be stupid enough to mess with the player's spring water station, and once she finds the player pouring out from somewhere, she will definitely stay away from there.

Placing blockers requires that they are on the same level as the other party, which has certain risks.

Therefore, to expand the player team, we must continue to push forward.

But there is no hurry.

At present, it seems that when gradually expanding the total player team, it is imperative to cultivate a group of cutting-edge players.

What do these cutting-edge players have?

Related positions at Alpha Base.

Exclusive and customized equipment.

Exclusive special tasks.

And this can also be linked to favorability.

Just ask, when a player has the position of "squad leader" on his head and carries his own grenade gun or standard black knife on his shoulder, all the wanderers regard him as a hero, offering flowers and almond water, and the nickname of TA is engraved in the hero record book... Who can resist such temptation?

It can also stimulate others to work harder to do things that are good for the base.

Clear thinking.

Well, it's really me!

Just as he was about to draft a plan and write this down, a private chat popped up in the background, and Ye Xiao scanned his eyes, it was sent by [Skywalker].

I had planned to ignore it as usual.

But when he was about to close the pop-up window, Ye Xiao suddenly felt that in order to become a qualified planner, it was necessary to occasionally understand the player's thoughts, so he replied.

Xiao (admin): "What's wrong?" "

I'll go.

Actually got me back!

Sky on the other side quickly typed back: "Hello, administrator, can I ask a more sensitive question?" "

Did you really ask this?

Ye Xiao pretended to be confused and slowly typed a "? "。

Sky took a deep breath and typed his own question, even if it would offend the base commander, he wanted to know the answer!

I'm all offline, so I can't still deduct the favorability!

It's not that the administrator is the one who plays the NPC of the base leader!

[Skywalker]: "I want to ask, Base Commander NPC he... Is it a program, or is it played by a real person? [

Xiao] (administrator): "Why do you feel like that?

[Skywalker]: "It just feels like he's getting a little smarter, and he's not quite like a given program."

"Yesterday he called me by my nickname, and my friend also reported to me that he had this problem, and I feel that he is a special PUA person, and now that I think back, he seems to have encouraged me to die."

"Steve also told me that after he scolded the base commander, it exploded on the spot, this should not be a bug in the system."

Seeing that the administrator did not reply to himself for a long time, Sky immediately added: "I just asked casually, if it involves corporate secrets, I didn't say it."

[Xiao] (administrator): "It's okay, this is not a secret, and I don't have access to the technical details as an administrator."

[Skywalker]: "Uh-huh! Then please speak!

Ye Xiao cheekily took out the words that had been prepared long ago: "Your guess is both right and wrong.

[Skywalker]: "Huh? [

Xiao] (administrator): "To put it simply, his existence is very special. "

He's the first generation of fully artificial intelligence we're trying to develop."

What the?

Fully artificial intelligence?

Sky was flabbergasted.

[Xiao] (administrator): "In fact, it is not accurate at all, now 'Ye Xiao's intelligence level is only 95%, but his thinking mode is built by us according to human thinking."

"He has his own personality, memories, values and behavior patterns, and we actually loaded this module into him before the 1.05 update, so he will be a little smarter."

I see!

Sky suddenly realized: "I understand, no wonder he PUA us." "

An amazing idea is brewing in the head.

As he gradually thought deeper, Sky couldn't help but be shocked by the pattern that "Backrooms" wanted to create, and excitedly buttoned: "I understand, I understand everything, your company's layout is really far-reaching, this 1.05 version update, just the beginning, right?"

Ye Xiao: "??? "

What is this guy making up in his brain?

Sky continued: "Not surprisingly, the other NPCs in the base are also this kind of almost 100% artificial intelligence, right?

"Administrator, you once mentioned that the community system will be opened after arriving at Level 11, so what is a real community?" There will definitely be NPC evaluations of players, and favorability is an important part of this evaluation.

"So, in this round of version 1.05 updates, you are testing not only the game itself, but also the AI of the game, and even the interaction between players and AI."

"Combined with the game's map setting, so many layers, so many people and things and the story."

Sky

couldn't contain his excitement anymore: "Metaverse! "

Such a far-reaching layout, such advanced technology, such advanced game concepts: exploration, nostalgia, dream core, monster core...

There are also mini-game elements such as "Weird Rules Talk", and more "mini-games" that will be added in the future.

As you can imagine, Backrooms will definitely explode in the future!

And he is the first tester of this game.

However, in Level 1, in the face of Sky's wave of operations straight into the atmosphere, Ye Xiao was silent for a long time, and after a moment, he slowly typed:

"You are very smart." "

All the important NPCs in the base are actually the only test versions, and their code is all knocked out by us line by line."

"Because they simulate human thinking, they don't realize that they are artificial and they can't understand the concept of VR games, which for them are the real world that lives in them."

Skywalker: "What about those NPCs and hostile entities in Level 11?" "

I didn't expect to fool my teammates.

You also need to fool the player.

While sighing that he had paid too much for this base, Ye Xiao replied with his thoughts: "Those people are not knocked out, but generated by models and behavioral mechanism generators, we can't and don't have the energy to knock the code one by one."

"At present, this generation algorithm mechanism, we are still in the detection experimental stage, and the NPCs you see are the limit of the number of NPCs that can be generated at present."

"Fortunately, only one of you arrived at Level 11, and if there were a few more people, the server would have to overheat and stop on the spot for emergency repairs."

After

ending the communication with this clever player, Ye Xiao slowly let out a sigh.

No way, in order for players to reach Level 11 in the future, multi-level people can live in harmony with wanderers and friendly entities, he launched the favorability system.

Unexpectedly, Sky's brain supplement also provided him with an idea.

In future version updates or patches, there may be some small bugs left for players to guess and analyze, and maybe get some new ideas.

Otherwise, what is the long brain for?

Isn't it used for brain supplementation?

After sulking for a long time, the core drilled out from Ye Xiao's body: "Host, you are really more and more deceptive." "

Since he woke up in his body for 3 months, he has watched Ye Xiao change from a simple child to this scheming liar now.

Lying, it's more natural than drinking water!

Facing the core complaint, Ye Xiao leaned on the back of the chair without caring and hummed softly:

"Heh, I'm just becoming a qualified game planner."

......

In the bloody world.

In front of the dark brown cabin, a tightly bound member of the Eye of Argos struggled, desperately crawling away from the cabin, but because his hands were bound, he could only move like a worm on the crimson earth.

She is the captain of a squad of "pilgrims".

The teammates are all killed by a monster-like woman.

Even if it is only in vain to understand.

Fear also drove her to flee the wooden house behind her.

"Alice, are you ready for treatment?"

A haggard and numb voice replied

, "Yes, I'm ready."

2 short sentences of dialogue made the girl crawl faster.

Soon, Ethan Nelson came out of the cabin and stomped on the back of the escaped girl.

Then the marauder weeds wrapped around the arm, and the skin fingers fitted, a "red" arm appeared, Ethan grabbed the girl's left arm, and then slammed it hard

-"ah-"

With a harsh scream, the female team's arm was torn off, the throbbing muscle fibers and bones were exposed to the air, and the red blood was scattered on the crimson earth.

Quickly absorbed by the soil.

The female team member bit her tongue full of blood and passed out.

Ethan took the severed arm and returned to the cabin.

Alice, who was lying flat on the bed with her left arm empty, said softly

, "It will hurt later, bear with me."

Alice nodded stiffly.

Next, Ethan's "reddened" arm quickly disintegrated, and part of the marauder weeds wrapped around Alice's broken arm, burrowing into the wound that had stopped the bleeding and coagulation, and the broken flesh immediately flowed dark red blood, and the other part brought the fresh broken arm over.

The originally deadly marauder weed has now turned into a dexterous surgical line, quietly joining every blood vessel and nerve.

During the whole process, Alice did not scream in pain.

Not even a "hmm".

Just staring at the ceiling.

"Have a good rest."

After a brief instruction, Ethan turned to Sullivan in the corner:

"Have you seen Fina killed?"

Sullivan was silent for a moment and shook his head: "It was the partygoers who attacked us, those things... Fina, she couldn't have survived those things.

"If you don't confirm it with your own eyes, then there is a glimmer of life, don't just give up."

Before Ethan left, she patted him on the shoulder: "Give this thing to Alice."

She took out a bottle of azure potion.

Sullivan took it and asked,

"What is it?"

"A human body enhancement potion, I got after destroying an M.E.G. experimental base, it may be painful after injection, you let Alice choose by herself."

After Ethan finished speaking, he carried the unconscious female team member and walked into the distance.

Visceral organs can be used as nourishment.

Limbs can be used as raw materials.

In the Eye of Argos squad she attacked, there was no arbiter of truth, and she would not pick a team with arbiter of truth.

It's not that she's afraid, she is not afraid of the arbiters after the 002 sequence, but there is part of the power of Argos in each arbiter, and there is a certain risk of attacking them.

As long as the truth arbiter is not brought here.

She was able to make sure that Argos wouldn't locate her.

As for fighting in this bloody world, the "Hothouse of Judgment", no one can defeat her in this level unless Argos is present.

The figure was quickly covered by red mist.

Sullivan carefully looked at the potion in his hand, and then told Alice about it: "There is a chance to become stronger, do you want it?"

Alice quickly responded, "Give it to me."

Sullivan frowned slightly: "Lord Ethan said, it will be very painful, you just connected the broken arm, don't you think about resting more?" "

Give it to me."

"I want it now."

The words were calm and terrible.

Sullivan understood.

Without further ado, after filling the liquid into the syringe, slowly push the liquid into Alice's arm.

With the infusion of the blue liquid, a pain that was enough to make the adult strong man pass out rose up in Alice's body - as if every bone was exploding, making a recombination sound that clicked, the blood boiled, and the internal organs were churned into a mess in the burning... But Alice didn't say a word, and didn't even lift her eyelids.

Because she has more painful areas.

At one time, her world had 2 parts.

One is revenge.

The other is Elifina.

Once, she couldn't figure out which part was more important.

But at the moment of losing Elifina, she understood which was more important, and if she could exchange Elifina back, she would rather die forever with regret and humiliation.

What has already happened cannot be changed.

Now the most important part has disappeared, into an empty nothingness that no amount of memory can fill.

Then, her life is only left:

revenge.
