War Paradise

Chapter 209 “Black Box” (plus more)

Opening the safety lock of the game compartment and unlocking the restraints on his body, Lin Chi, who had just quit the game, stared blankly at the ceiling of the living room.

As in the previous two rounds, after the end of this round, it was midnight again. After all, he has to train in other games during the day, and only in the evening can he have time to enter “War Paradise”.

Although his appearance is no different from the invincible “countercurrent” in the game, Lin Chi in the real world does not look like a person at all from the guy in the game before.

The difference between the two is not in image, but in temperament.

Once he returned to the real world, Lin Chi seemed to be weakened suddenly, and there was a decadent breath between his gestures.

“call……”

He walked out of the game compartment while yawning, leaning on the sofa in a sloppy posture, closing his eyes and recalling the hearty battle in the game just now.

In fact, he is not malaise, but simply has no goals.

On weekdays, Lin Chi is simply the image spokesperson of the word “emptiness”.

This guy doesn’t have any positive elements, and he doesn’t bother to work hard at all. It perfectly reflects what “mixed eating and waiting to die” is like.

Of course, unlike the guys who were really eating and waiting to die, he relied on powerful game technology to support himself.

But even so, at the usual level of laziness, he still reached a point where he was almost hopeless.

If it were not for worrying that his own muscles might shrink, Lin Chi was afraid that he would have bought an exoskeleton to wear on his body, and used a machine to move around.

When I remembered that I would continue training in “Blade” tomorrow, Lin Chi was about to wash and sleep, only to see the mobile phone screen on the coffee table lit up.

A line of concise text messages appeared in the air in the form of holographic projections, reflecting the originally dark living room:

“Found the information. — Frankenstein.”

Seeing the message from Frankenstein, Lin Chi finally cheered up a little, picked up the phone and sent a message back:

“Is it about the equipment carried on the rocket?”

As it is suspected that a missing rocket accident two years ago was related to Pulse Entertainment, Lin Chi is also commissioning the infamous TDK-131 virus, the “Frankenstein” in the game, to investigate intelligence about the rocket accident.

Lin Chi is still very interested in the mysterious company that developed and operated “Paradise of War”. After all, ordinary companies can’t make this level of brain imaging games. and……

How does this so-called Pulse Entertainment company put countless self-aware AIs into their games?

Based on the experience of the previous three games, Lin Chi is almost certain that the special and heroic NPCs in the game, and even the ordinary passers-by on the street, are “advanced AIs” that are very different from the mentally retarded NPCs in other games.

This situation where advanced AI is everywhere, almost completely subverted his previous cognition that “advanced AI is very rare”.

It is no exaggeration to say that the game of War of Heaven, as if in front of Lin Chi’s eyes, opened the door to a new world.

Even if these AI’s actions and lines follow procedures, the workload of programming will undoubtedly be to a terrifying level. In any case, a new company can develop this kind of game, just like the Vatican suddenly succeeded in developing an atomic bomb, it is completely fantasy.

When Lin Chi was thinking about it, Frankenstein once again responded:

“I investigated the archives of the rocket launch and the list of goods that were launched. In addition to two satellites and a quantum computer, there is another item on the list.”

“What project?” Lin Chi asked immediately.

Frankenstein did not answer in words, but directly sent a document. Lin Chi opened the document, and what caught his eye was the original English text of the document, as well as the Chinese name automatically translated by the translation program in the phone:

Listing 023518A9:

Launch time 19:00.

After the second inspection, the launch is allowed without special circumstances.

Contents:

Two satellites, one quantum computer (carried by the satellite), and one black box.

“Um?”

Seeing the last strange “black box”, Lin Chi couldn’t help frowning slightly.

Since this list was too brief and provided too few clues, he could not think of what this so-called “black box” was.

As for the original English name shown in the list, it is as simple and rude as the translated content, only BLACK-BOX is written.

So the question is, what is the black box?

Although still at a loss, Lin Chi always feels that the key to the problem lies in this mysterious black box.

According to his speculation, the recoverable rocket that disappeared in space was probably launched by Pulse Entertainment. Moreover, the rocket and the things carried in it were probably deliberately “missing” in space for some reason.

——Pulse Entertainment launched two satellites, a quantum computer, and a “black box” into space.

And these things may be the reason why the game “War of Heaven” is so weird.

After thinking for a moment, but couldn’t think of any reasonable explanation, Lin Chi put down his phone and walked slowly into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. Looking at the familiar face in the mirror, a terrifying thought suddenly appeared in his mind:

——Will the black box contain countless “souls”?

Lin Chi, who has always been a complete atheist, had doubts about his original beliefs at this moment. After all, there are so many self-aware AIs in the game, which is really weird.

If the “soul” stored in the black box is really “soul”, then when I entered the game, didn’t I also enter the state of the soul out of the body, putting the “soul” into the game completely?

Lin Chi, whose mouth was full of toothpaste foam, stared at the dull man in the mirror and almost swallowed the foam. After rinsing, he sighed long:

“Forget it, go to bed first…”

His team is about to participate in the “Blade” arena competition, and now is not the time to stay up late.

If I remember correctly, in addition to training tomorrow, as the captain of the team, I will also participate in a single-player PVP competition called “God of War”.

After all, if you can win the singles championship, you can also get five thousand yuan in prize money. Although it sounds like a small amount, you can make yourself happy for another month.

As for the tactics to be used in tomorrow’s single player match, Lin had already thought about it sooner than later.

The traditional MMORPG like “Blade” is naturally not as changeable as the war paradise, nor can it use any gorgeous or weird combat methods.

But even so, it can still play a more “entertainment” style of play.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi raised his hand to wipe off the foam at the corner of his mouth, and a serious smile appeared on his face:

“Tomorrow…may be interesting.”
