First Player - Chapter 798

  Chapter 798 Chapter seven hundred and ninety-seven · “Minecraft.”

  Su Mingan put the folding ears on the windowsill. Lin Guang’s entire room was very dark, with only a few rays of sunshine on the window sill.

   “There are still drawers I haven’t looked at. He should have left something for you.” Noel said.

  Su Mingan opened the drawer of the bedside table.

  The first drawer is full of stacked Spring Festival couplets.

  The second drawer is a safety freezer. As soon as Su Mingan opened it, it was full of bright red strawberries. It seems that it has not been brutally murdered.

  The third drawer is a folded Hanfu, and next to it are several unfinished nets.

   These are all the traces left by Lin Guang, and everything has been combined into his life.

   And then the last drawer…

   This drawer is a bit difficult to open, it should be rusted inside, Su Mingan used his strength.

   With a “Hula”, when Su Mingan struggled to open the drawer, countless ginkgo leaves poured out, and each piece was marked with the year and message.

   “Clatter—!”

  They danced freely in this narrow room, like dancing golden elves, brushing against Su Mingan’s hair and cheeks, and under the flickering light, they looked like strands of dancing golden spots.

  Su Mingan glanced at the ginkgo leaves that first flew out, and saw the writing on them clearly.

  【In the 33rd year of the catastrophe, I saw him through the window of the City of Gods. 】

  【Thirty-four years after the catastrophe, I gradually regarded being friends with him as the meaning of my life. 】

  【Shan Tiantian, female knight, smiling tiger…】

  …

  The content of Ginkgo Leaf is similar to Lin Guang’s diary, except that these are written by himself.

  Su Mingan pulled out the bottom leaf. A few lines of writing are engraved on the bottom of the drawer.

  【If one day after I die, Luvis comes here. Luvis, please take away the gift I buried in the Zheergen soil. 】

  【I am a failure, I will fail in everything I do. Perhaps only by burying the gift in the soil can it not be taken away. 】

  【I only wrote this text here. If you hated me, you wouldn’t come to my house, and you wouldn’t see these words. In this way, my gift will not cause you trouble in vain. 】

  …

  Su Mingan closed the drawer.

  He walked to the window sill, dug out the dirt at the root of the folded ear, and saw a hard mechanical ring. The ring was glowing with a faint iron gray light, and two lines of small characters were engraved on it:

  【Lin Guang’s gift to Luvis, the real version. 】

  【It’s great to know you. 】

  Su Mingan stared at the ring for a moment, then looked out the window.

   This time, no one stood outside the window, holding a flute, reaching out to him, inviting him to take a walk under the moonlight.

  Dawn rises, that person’s existence and name are erased.

  He has brought 2,300 simulations of winter, embracing the rising sun, mixed with the grief, magic and confusion that have existed or disappeared countless times, and become the last ice sculpture of this spring.

  Su Mingan stared at it for a moment, then put away the ring, but Ah Du said, “An Jiang, bring the ring closer to me.”

“doing what?”

   “Put the ring close to me, I won’t fool you.” A Du said: “Everything about me belongs to you, you can always trust me.”

  Su Mingan put the ring on the watch, and in an instant, a ray of blue light passed from A Du’s watch.

   A moment later, a familiar voice sounded on the ring:

   “Hi, I’m T-0321.”

  Su Mingan recognized whose voice it was: “Lin Guang?”

“An Jiang, after Lin Guang dissipated, I captured the traces of Lin Guang in the data stream, and I kept his piece of data. This mechanical ring also has a little bit of Lin Guang’s initial program, and now I will save them Combined.” A Du said.

   “This will form Lin Guang?” Su Mingan said.

“There is a possibility. Before he dissipates, he really wants to live. This ring is his last hope.” A Du said, “Now this mechanical ring is just a simple initial AI. But maybe you will experience it later. In a sci-fi world, you can find props to revive him? Maybe he can become a player like Su Rin?”

  Su Mingan knew that Ah Du was comforting him. But as long as there is a possibility, it will not be 0%.

  He put the ring on his index finger. In this way, his body was extremely lively. Adu on the left wrist, Yeya on the right wrist, a T-0321 on the finger, and a calling chip of Team Mu on the back of the neck.

  T-0321 is still in a mentally handicapped state. Except for saying “Hello, I’m T-0321” when turning on the machine, he didn’t say a word.

   “0321?” Su Mingan called it, but nothing happened.

   “Lin Guang, are you there?” Su Mingan called again, but there was still no response. This ring doesn’t seem to be very good at talking yet.

  Su Mingan stopped calling, left Lin Guang’s room, walked through the dark gallery and hall, and pushed open the door—

  He saw a person waiting at the door.

  The sunlight swirls around that person’s hair, as if holding a circle of shining golden light. A white bird stood on the tip of the man’s raised finger, pecking it intimately.

  The man lowered his head slightly, his dark gray eyes reflected the white feathers, his expression was extraordinarily gentle, and he could treat a bird gently.

   “You are…” Su Mingan said.

  The man looked at Su Mingan, and the white bird flapped its wings at his fingertips and flew into the sky.

   “I’m sorry I could only see you in the form of a white cat. Now that the gods have been driven away by you, I can see you in the form of a bionic body.”

  Across a long distance, that person stretched out his hand:

   “Hello, formal meeting, let me formally introduce myself, I am the owner of the ruined world ‘Source of Civilization’, Asa Actor…AI.”

   “You are the representative of your civilization—Su Ming’an. At present, as the ‘first player’, you are indeed a well-deserved representative of civilization. Nice to meet you, Su Mingan.”

  Su Mingan’s heart was beating very fast.

  Before [Tawei]’s surveillance was everywhere, which turned everyone into riddlers.

   But now, he finally got to touch the truth.

   There was some vague fear in his heart, like a sixth sense. It seemed that after he knew the truth, he would fear the truth again.

   “Su Mingan, is there a possibility of a trap?” Noel asked alertly. He didn’t believe the truth presented before him, who knew if this guy who called himself Akto AI was friendly.

   “The possibility is very low.” Su Mingan said.

  He looked at Actor’s outstretched hand, and strode forward,

  The sun was shining down on the road, and Su Mingan stepped on the tiles in the hall and strode towards Akto at the door. One step, two steps, three steps…

  The tiles reflect the light, reflecting between the two of them, like a thin bridge between civilizations.

   A moment later, Su Mingan stretched out his hand and shook Akto’s palm. Their palms were cold, maybe it was too cold, when Su Mingan held hands, Su Mingan even thought he had touched a piece of painful ice.

  After shaking hands for three seconds, Actor said softly, “It’s so cold.”

  Su Mingan said: “The world of ruins is very cold.”

  Actor smiled, the sun shone on his pale face, and the corner of his mouth was stained with coughed up blood:

   “Maybe it won’t be cold in the future.”

  Although he did not see spring before his death, there will definitely be one in the future.

   “I’m here, and you are here, of course it won’t be cold.” Su Mingan said.

  Akto smiled: “Su Ming’an, what do you think is the ‘real thing’?”

   “A brain in a vat.” Su Mingan replied after pondering for a moment. His task of being in power is to [find the real thing]. He has been thinking about this issue for nineteen days.

  Actor listened, but neither affirmed nor denied.

“Su Ming’an, do you feel that the ‘brain in a vat’ is actually another form of human evolution? Human bodies have been very weak since ancient times. Tigers, elephants and other creatures can easily kill us, but humans are stronger than them The only place where there is consciousness and thought. If the body can be eternal, we are equivalent to breaking free from a bondage.”

“I agree with your point of view.” Su Mingan said: “From the perspective of the ‘world game’, we players are equivalent to getting rid of our original flesh and blood bodies and becoming digital bodies. If there is no one-year period, I think it’s an evolution.”

   “Have you ever played a sandbox game?” Actor said.

  The topic jumped a little fast, but Su Mingan quickly responded: “I played.”

“Let me use the sandbox game ‘Minecraft’ as an example.” Akto said, “If you haven’t played this game, you should be able to understand it—if gods invade your civilization, human beings will fight to protect themselves.” Uploaded consciousness and hid in the game ‘My World’. God learned to use computers later and wanted to continue invading. As a result, human beings used ‘My World’ to create another ‘My World’, using the infinite sandbox Building their own world, going deeper and deeper—is this a form of self-preservation?”

   “Of course.” Su Ming’an said: “No matter what method is used, even if it is lingering to extend the life of civilization, it is definitely better than hitting a pebble with an invader. Only when you are alive, you have a chance.”

  He admires Actor.

  Aktor’s three-dimensional defense plan abruptly dragged mankind to 102 years. The technological gap between human beings and [Tawei] is too great. As early as Qiuli’s introduction that year, he knew that human beings have no chance of confrontation, and “dragging” is the only way.

  If there is no superposition of dimensions, it is impossible for human beings to survive until now, just like the countless times of annihilation of human beings simulated by Kaiusta, human beings will not even be able to survive the 72nd year.

   “But the most critical question now is—you’ve fallen into a trap that has been going on for many years.” Actor said.

   “Trap?” Su Mingan was puzzled.

   “You have signed a ‘civilization bet’ with the gods. As long as you fail to restart the dawn system within 20 days, the gods can obtain the source of your civilization.” Akto said.

   “Yes.” Su Mingan also remembered this hidden danger. Today is the nineteenth day. It is impossible for the god’s actions to be useless, there must be a big hole waiting for him.

   “Please come with me to a place, and I will help you solve this problem.” Akto said, “I will borrow your wheelchair and I will show you the way.”

  Su Mingan called out the wheelchair. As soon as he sat on it, Akto sat on the armrest of the wheelchair with ease, and his white coat swept over his knees.

   “Nuel, go back and rest.” Su Mingan saw that Akto didn’t want to be followed, and said to Nuoer.

  Noel nodded, turned and left.

  The wheelchair took off, and Su Mingan looked back.

  The villa left by Lin Guang still stands in the garden full of flowers. Between the blue and white fences, the spray of the fountain is spraying thinly, as if erecting a rainbow of water and sky.

  It seems that there is still a white-haired agent standing there, holding the silver pistol of Lily and Butterfly, waiting for him two thousand three hundred times.

  Su Mingan thought that this should be the last time he came here.

goodbye. Folded ears, spring couplets, a thousand paintings.

  The wheelchairs flew across the sky, and the bright sunlight sprinkled their black hair, like golden fireflies dancing with the wind.

  Su Mingan turned his head and looked straight ahead, feeling a little weak in his body.

——

  When the mechanical ring of his index finger brushed against the chocolate bag, the mentally handicapped T-0321, who had never been able to speak, suddenly made a voice:

“chocolate.”

   “Luvis…”

“…like.”

  …
