The System Sent Me an Object [End of the World]

On December 25, 2020, snow was also floating in parts of Lake Province.

Although it does not usually snow often in winter south of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains, it is not absolute. After all, even the Southern City has a record of snowfall in the past ten years-although it is only the size of dandruff. Not to mention that Lake Province is an area where there has been a heavy snowstorm. In the last two years, the global temperature has changed again, so Hao Jian and the others encountered a snow on Christmas Day.

Originally, You Xiaoxiao and others were clamoring for roast chicken, but the tools were not complete and they could only play hot pot once.

This time, You Xiaoxiao contributed to the hare he had raised for several months. Last time he dug out the rabbit nest in Hao Jian's hometown, he almost took out a few of his family, and raised rabbits no matter how big or small they were.

Now that a few small rabbits have grown up, the two big rabbits have no use value, so You Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate to use them to shave them.

Lian Rumeng and the others chanted "Why do you want to eat rabbits and rabbits are so cute" while eating with relish.

A group of people are lively, preparing to spend another New Year together.

However, their ideas were destined to fail, because Hao Jian suddenly lost contact with the system.

Hao Jian was not flustered by the sudden disappearance of the system, even when she realized that she could not use the system's permissions, she was not at a loss. As early as half a year ago, she also heard some news one after another, saying that the apostle was assassinated and the refuge where the apostle was hiding was attacked by zombies...

The number of apostles on the rankings of the Apostolic Association is also decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Until a week ago, she learned that there were only more than forty people.

In addition, there should be one or two hundred apostles from abroad who acted alone and did not appear on the list of the Apostolic Association. Before contacting the system, she hinted that she would squeeze into the top 100. She felt that the loss of the system was related to this.

In fact, many people in the outside world have more envy, jealousy and fear than respect for the existence of the apostle, because apart from acting as a production machine, there is really no ability to make the public surrender.

People are often very wary and repulsive of dissidents. Although the official establishment of the Apostolic Association was to stabilize the public's various thoughts about the apostles, there are still many people who have envy and covet the apostles.

Therefore, once they have the opportunity, they will use all means to attack and exclude dissidents.

In 2020, there is a saying that is extremely popular: "Now the government has resumed production in some factories, and scientific researchers have also developed excellent crops suitable for environmental growth. Our food, clothing, and basic living conditions have been met. Why? Do you need those apostles? They have weapons in their hands, and no one knows if they will suddenly go crazy, kill us all, and then run away..."

It is precisely because of this statement that many apostles chose to flee, and then they were assassinated by other apostles who had the opportunity to start.

In some small refuges, the apostle’s help was needed because the materials were not obtained in a timely manner, so they insisted on being kind to the apostle. However, under the operation of the rules, zombies will besiege those small refuges, making the apostles put in a very dangerous situation. Those with superior abilities can naturally escape, but those with poor abilities won't have that good luck.

Hao Jian told the people around him about his loss of system ability. Although everyone was surprised at first, they felt that it had no effect on their lives.

Because Hao Jian has always advocated that they find supplies on their own, including their support to the guards, and they are also paid. They drove out two off-road vehicles at the beginning, and the materials they collected and obtained were placed in the back of the vehicle. Unless they really couldn't find food, they would look for Hao Jian to buy them.

As for other abilities, Hao Jian has always controlled that people do not rely on these abilities, so she collected a set of professional equipment for Shi Gongdu and installed it on the roof of the car. On weekdays, Shi Gongdu received and sent any signals. All convenient.

However, for most hosts, they usually rely on the system and are accustomed to the system, and suddenly there is no system, which makes them panic, fear and confusion.

Hao Jian also received a contact from Wen Shanggao, and the other party was really concerned about her ability.

She asked: "Wei Guojia and they are also incapable?"

Wen Shanggao knew that she was in the same situation when she said this, so he said: "I was thinking about whether you would be an exception."

Hao Jian smiled: "In this kind of competition, everyone has the same starting point, and the competition system is relatively fair."

"You want so much, those apostles below level 6 may be unhappy."

Hao Jian said, “I’m afraid there are no apostles below level 6, right? I think that with the sharp reduction in the number, there may not even be a hundred apostles in the world. As for the unfairness, that’s also true. I did not work hard and gave up a fair opportunity."

Wen Shanggao was silent for a moment and asked, "Should you come back?"

"I still need to go back?"

"Have."

Hao Jian smiled again. She said, "That's OK, I will try my best to adjust the schedule."

...

Just two days after Hao Jian finished the phone call with Wen Shanggao, Wen Shanggao called her again, still asking her about it. Although Wen Shanggao didn't say it clearly, she heard it out that someone's ability had returned, so he came to ask Hao Jian if he had recovered the relevant ability.

But she didn't. Ten days later, on the way back to Nanfang City, she could still occasionally hear news of someone regaining their abilities from Shi Gongdui.

Just when everyone wanted to comfort her, she suddenly discovered that the system's permissions had returned. However, with the reappearance of permissions, she also noticed some changes in permissions.

Originally, she only had experience and points to show, but after the system's authority came back, there was an extra "point exchange". Her points were originally more than 100,000, but it was reduced by more than 30,000. Instead, the 30,000 points appeared in the "point exchange."

She thought about it for a while. It seemed that she had exchanged cash for the more than 30,000 redemption points. Because sometimes she also sells some supplies to survivors, so if the recovered money is useless, she will exchange it for points.

And after she opened the mall, why there was such a classification, she also knew at a glance. Because some of the materials that could be purchased regardless of whether they were redeemed for points, now they can only be purchased with points.

Weapons, medicines, and militarized supplies need points to buy. Food and daily necessities can be purchased with redemption points or points.

In other words, the system basically restricts the host from taking the cash transaction mode to exchange the materials in the system mall. In this way, it is not very friendly to those hosts who don't do tasks, don't kill zombies, or even don't kill people.

In other words, the points they exchanged with cash on weekdays, at a critical moment, want to buy a bullet-proof clothing to protect themselves are a little stretched.

In addition to these, she also found some more specific data, such as level, number of zombies killed, zombie animals killed, killing, killing host, saving people, number of missions completed, achievements, etc., which are more than her level of investigation with sticky notes. The following hosts have more information.

Among these data, the data for killing zombies is calculated in units of 10,000. Although the number of zombies killed is not large, it has also contributed to her increase in experience. Only the two columns of killing and killing the host are two big duck eggs.

These are all in virtual form, invisible to others, but the changes that appear on the back of Hao Jian's hands are visible to the naked eye-a set of Arabic numerals appears on the back of her hands, like a tattoo, showing a dark green color The number "13".

This number can't be washed off, it looks like it grows in the flesh. Lian Ru Ning got interested and wanted to see if it only appeared on the surface, or if it actually grew inside the flesh.

Of course, Hao Jian wouldn't cut off his skin just to find out for her. Lian Ru Ning was disappointed, but she still got her a glove for her to wear.

Although I don't know what this number means, but when it's so sensitive, I'll hide it first.

Hao Jian counted the days when the system disappeared. Today is exactly the thirteenth day. Does this have anything to do with the numbers?

In addition, some people recover earlier than her. What is the reason?

She soon wanted to understand, this is estimated to be a ranking.

If her guess is correct, the reason Wen Shanggao contacted her again on the third day was because someone he knew had restored the system's authority on that day. Although he didn't say who it was, Hao Jian guessed it was Le Yan.

After Wei Guojia's self-defense, Xiehui's death, he was indeed depressed a lot, and then he didn't know if there was another level, so he was not in a hurry to upgrade, so that he was left behind, who had been upgraded faster.

But here comes the question, how is the ranking determined? Level, experience, or points?

————

"2018" has been paying attention to the changes in the number of hosts at level 9, until he suddenly received a temporary logout reminder from the central processing terminal system. He did not know that there were only a hundred hosts left in the multidimensional information space, and the committee proposed to change the number of hosts. The new competition system, which will be opened after the top 100 contestants are produced, will also be launched soon.

"In view of the adjustment of the new competition system, all contestants need to log out temporarily and start again in one month. We apologize for any inconvenience!"

"2018" found that he could not contact Hao Jian. He could only look at these "data bodies" as if the program had been suspended, and there was no change at all.

He knew that because his day in the multi-dimensional information space might only be a minute or two in reality, and because his temporary logout was definitely not just a matter of a while, so in order to prevent the time inside from going too fast, he simply stopped it.

Seeing this, he was a little hesitant, because he clearly realized that it is a virtual space, a data integration space, because it can be artificially intervened.

At this moment, the "data body" of the awakening that he had originally produced was also a human thought and could not help being disturbed. If it is a fresh life, how can it stop activities at will?

Leaving the multidimensional information space, he breathed fresh air again and was exposed to reality.

The adjustment of the new competition system takes one month, so he has a one-month break. However, after spending two and a half years in the multidimensional information space, after returning to reality, he really didn't know what he should do!

After thinking about it, he went to the Federal Library to look up historical materials two hundred years ago.

The Federal Library is the largest national library in the Federal Republic of Salah, and the Federation is also the strongest country in the league. The league sponsors and committees belong to the Federation.

He is fortunate that he grew up in such a country, and loves it, always thinking about serving it in the future.

When he saw the advertisement of the multi-dimensional information space in the library, he realized that if the multi-dimensional information space is officially put into use, then he may not need to use the library to read books in the future, because the multi-dimensional information space can completely import electronic information materials. Then presented to him in a virtual form...

He found that what he thought was planned and implemented by the committee, so as soon as the advertisement came out, it immediately caused a sensation.

He even saw some active fragments of the avatar in the advertisement. If he remembers correctly, it is the imaged image of the "data body" in the league.

It turns out that the committee really intended to treat this league as an investment promotion advertisement, and they succeeded. According to the information reviewed by "2018", more than 80 related chaebol groups have shown their intention to inject capital, including The Royal Consortium of Adolescence.

"2018" feels that I should be happy that so many chaebol groups are interested in the multi-dimensional information space. After all, these chaebols are the rich rewards they receive.

It's just that whenever he thinks of rewards, he thinks of the agreement with Hao Jian.

"It's just a virtual character, it's just data, do I really want to fulfill my promise?" He was hesitant.

A few days later, the organizers of the league launched the promotion of the new competition system, and the most noticeable thing is that after the top 100 are born, some viewers will be invited to access the multi-dimensional information space so that they can watch real-time matches. , And tickets can only be purchased except for the league organizer and the committee, and they are limited to 10,000 places.

As soon as this news came out, "2018" was shocked for a long time. The difference from his consternation is that almost everyone around him is very interested in this matter. They all rely on relationships and want to get this ticket.

"2018" is a contestant, and entered the top 100, but was given two admission tickets. However, his identity for the competition is confidential. No one around him knows that he emptied his net worth to buy a "data body" for the competition.

Besides, his family is lagging behind, his relatives no longer communicate with his family, and his friends have alienated him. Who cares if he has participated in the competition?

He wanted to be on the Hall of Fame, to be in the top ten, to get rewards that were generous enough to make their family stand up, and then let everyone who laughed at him know that he is famous and his future is impeccable. Limited.

He has now taken a big step towards his goal-squeezing into the top 100 from more than 10,000 people, is it not enough to explain his success? You must know that his "data body" is inferior, and don't look at those high-quality "data bodies" that are most likely to squeeze into the top 100, how many have been brushed down now!

But in the same way, he knows that the awakening of the "data body" Hao Jian is also a major drawback to contain him, because after the new competition system, the audience can watch the game at close range, so the "data body" is bound to be abnormal.

After thinking about "2018" for two days, I decided to sell the admission tickets in my hands, and then exchanged for an opportunity to visit the Alliance Genetic Information Research Institute.

This research institute was established more than two hundred years ago, but it has experienced various turbulent changes during the period, and its name has been changed again and again. It was decided after the alliance was established.

It belongs to a neutral institution and a benchmark for genetic informatics. All talents in this field want to enter here if they squeeze their heads.

"2018" got the chance to visit, but instead of visiting some confidential research rooms, he chose to go to the "brain body", which holds the "data body".

Through the glass, he saw the very quiet "Hao Jian" with a lot of equipment attached to it, and a monitor next to it would show the brain cell images it collected. Although it is just a piece of data, it does not prevent researchers from analysing its relevant information.

A recorder next to him saw him and smiled and asked, "Is here to visit?"

"Yes." 2018 replied.

"It's been a long time since no one has visited."

"Why?" 2018 asked.

The recorder shrugged his shoulders: "I think for most people, they are not very accepting of naked-exposed brains, which is disgusting for them."

"2018" asked: "Can I touch it?"

"Yes, its protective cover is not that fragile."

"2018" stretched out his hand and touched it, he seemed to be able to see Hao Jian always calmly and casually showing off his IQ in front of him, for short, pretending to be forced.

He asked: "Are they still alive?"

The recorder thought for a while and found this question a bit difficult to answer: "Their physiological mechanisms have stopped, but in my opinion, the brain has not completely died. It can be treated as if they are still alive, in a way we can't see."

"2018" was suddenly moved in his heart, he was stunned, and then nodded: "Well, they are still alive."

At this moment, the thoughts that had been deposited in his heart were suddenly solved, and his heart suddenly became clear.

He felt that he didn't need to be afraid of anything. Hao Jian's awakening matter would be discovered if he was discovered! Just as Hao Jian doesn't care if she will lose the system, because even without the system, she still has the courage to live. And he, even if he didn't make the top ten, he still proved that he has the courage to let go.

What he has lost now will be taken back by him himself one day!

Even if Hao Jian is found to be awakened and disqualified, the "data body" is his private property. Federal law protects personal property. As long as the "data body" remains in his hands for a day, he can find a way to get it. What it wants!

...

The January period is coming soon. "2018" is reconnected to the personal terminal system. When he connects, the interface immediately shows the changes in the rules of the new competition system:

"Welcome back to the entry number 2018. Thirty minutes later, the game will restart. The central processing terminal system has undergone a month-long adjustment, and new competition rules have been formulated..."

1. The competition is ranked based on comprehensive data, and the top-ranked participants will enter the multi-dimensional information space in advance to continue the competition;

2. The game is open to watch mode. According to the performance of the contestants, 10,000 spectators can vote for satisfactory contestants/data bodies. After the contest, the highest number of votes will receive additional rewards. Participants can choose to refuse to participate in this session;

3……

After reading a series of rules, "2018" first thought of refusing to participate in point 2. After all, he didn't want to expose Hao Jian's affairs more than anyone else.

However, the committee also said that they will not image the privacy of the "data body" because what viewers see in the multi-dimensional information space is only the "rebroadcast" after data integration.

Prior to this, they had a clear understanding of the "data body" that entered the top 100. That is to say, the performance of the previous "data body" would give them preconceived ideas and decide what they want. Watch the performance of a contestant, if they find that the performance is not good or not exciting enough, they can naturally change the object of watching.

"2018" decided to discuss with Hao Jian before deciding whether to participate in this link.

He is the thirteenth person to return to the competition, and it has been twelve days since the first participant returned to the competition. In other words, the lower the ranking, the more dangerous it is, because the higher ranking People can start hunting down the opponent before his abilities come back.

"2018" is indeed a little worried that Hao Jian will be killed in these twelve days, after all, she has also been a lot of limelight. Fortunately, her abilities are still outstanding, even without system authority, she can still return to Southern City unharmed.

"Hao Jian." After coming back in 2018, he couldn't help but cried out excitedly.

Hao Jian was a little surprised, and then smiled and said, "This is the first time you call me by name. Is this finally treating me as a human being?"

"2018" paused, and smiled where Hao Jian could not see: "You are a human, aren't you?"

...

According to permission restrictions, the system still cannot reveal the meaning of the numbers on the back of the hands to the hosts, nor will it even explain why they suddenly disappeared. But they can explain the meaning of points and redeem points.

Smart people have already guessed the meaning of the numbers, and there is no need for the system to explain the difference between points and redemption points, but they do want to know why the system disappeared.

In this regard, according to the requirements of the central processing terminal system, the systems can only answer that it is because of the upgrade. This explanation has been recognized by some people, but some people only care if they will suddenly disappear next time, because when the system disappears, several people died.

This is because some hosts who have restored the system's authority pretend that they have not been restored yet, so that they secretly killed them while other hosts were unprepared, and then escaped the official control.

Hao Jian murmured to the system: "Where can you escape? With the intervention of your central processing system, there is nothing to hide!"

"..." The system remembered the business and asked, "By the way, do you want to return to your old business?"

"Return to the old business? Live broadcast?" Hao Jian wondered why the system suddenly raised this matter.

"Well, yes, it's just with me." The system said slightly.

Hao Jian pondered over, dare to feel that this is the system reminded her that some unknown new competition system is probably added to the live broadcast mode.

"What I do, the kind of live broadcast that can be seen by everyone?"

"Privacy is probably not."

"Are there any benefits?"

The system said: "I think I am the only one to discuss with you...what will I do if there is no benefit?!"

After all, as far as he understands, no other contestant has ever thought that those "data bodies" are actually human beings, so the decisions they make will not communicate with the hosts. But he was different. He had already regarded Hao Jian as a human being, so he naturally wanted to discuss with her.

Hao Jian didn't even think about it: "Then do it!"

This is the turn of the system a little confused: "Huh? You don't think about it?"

Didn't she think about it, what if she was discovered that she was awakened?

Hao Jian was eating noodles. As she ate, she asked: "Have you thought of giving me any benefits?"

"Think about it, although I don't know if it will work, but it won't work today, there will be tomorrow, tomorrow will not work, and there will be a future..."

Hao Jian asked again: "Do you know what I want?"

"What you want, you have already mentioned through the mouth of Li Runing."

"That's fine. Now that you have all thoughts about helping us get what we want, what can I do without giving you some benefits. And I have been concealing your central processing system for so long, how do you conceal it? In my real situation, I'm very experienced."

The system is also happy: "Okay, I don't ask for the number one anymore, just the first ten will do."

In fact, for him now, the top ten is not so important, because he can attract the attention of some people through this "rebroadcast", which can be regarded as a bright spot in front of the public.

Of course, for Hao Jian, it is best to enter the top ten, because the top ten rewards can help him to move toward his goal more quickly, and then complete her vision for Hao Jian earlier.

...

When the authorities discovered that the apostle was incapable, it was a sensation. The research institute could not find out the reason, and even the apostle didn’t know what caused it.

This matter couldn’t be kept secret, and it was quickly known to ordinary people. When they discovered that the apostles who had thought they were aliens and thought to be out of reach had also changed back to ordinary people, some people couldn’t help but celebrate, and even pointed to the change. The apostle who returned to ordinary people scolded: "What were you proud of before? What was your air? Now it is not like us!"

Others are a little worried about whether their quality of life will decline without the apostle. However, only some of the beneficiaries would consider the situation of the apostle.

Perhaps it was also this short-term loss of the system. The apostles suffered mental torture that was unimaginable in their lives, either sad or happy.

Then when they regained their abilities, they became more ruthless and dismissive of ordinary people. That's why so many apostles who had not recovered their abilities were killed and defection occurred.

They used to think that they would be nice to others, and others might respect them, but they found that they were wrong! Since acquiring the system, no one regards them as adults. They are just production tools. In that case, why should they serve those people?

Especially since weapons and drugs cannot be purchased with redeemable points, if something happens to them, they will lose their self-insured capital, which is very detrimental to them.

After the officials discovered this situation, it was impossible to educate them. Except for the individual hosts who still chose to cooperate with the officials and stayed behind with their own purposes, they had basically left.

Of course, many apostles still didn't restore the system after more than ten days, and they quickly lost sight of everyone.

But the hunt against them continues.
