Walk alone in the abyss

Mimily, who was exhausted, fell asleep in the big bedroom of the beach villa;

Boss Yang, who had just exhausted a little bit of physical strength, ran his fingers across her delicate skin, turned his head, and put on the holographic glasses with some unfinished emotion.

Before officially invading the City of Light, Yang Ming naturally wanted to know more about this place.

He is not a fanatical gamer, and he has no small habit of being abused by bosses. If he can be given the right to hack, then Yang Ming will definitely lock blood, self-aiming, critical strikes with knives, full-view perspective, one-shot Key the enemy's crystal explosion... Check all the options that can be checked.

Pragmatism is the excellent quality of Boss Yang.

Yang Ming quickly filtered through the images he had seen last time, and then followed Labudo's perspective to appreciate this 'one-star world'.

Having traveled through so many places in the Milky Way, Yang Ming has seldom expressed admiration for the structures on the surface.

The human beings in the Milky Way always like to create some magnificent architectural miracles after mastering the energy that is almost endless for individual human beings.

For example, the huge star ring on the Yaha star, six man-made ring structures wrap the entire planet, use their bodies to draw the specific location of the orbit of the near star, and also activate the Yaha star as the empire's commercial transfer center. potential.

Another example is the roll-shaped artificial space settlement of the League of Güell;

And those deep space spaceports that are used for military purposes;

Of course, there is also the huge 'Transformer' of Emperor Star... Each of them is so magnificent.

But in this fictitious city of light, after Yang Ming entered Labdo's perspective, what he saw and heard once again felt a kind of shock.

What shocked him was the complexity, complexity, and chaos of this place.

Hundreds of billions of virtual thinking bodies live in irregular block-shaped urban areas. Among other things, how huge and complex are the communication signals they generate every moment?

It's just unimaginable.

In this virtual world, 'human beings' are like cancer cells on this planet, spreading crazily until they occupy the inside and outside of the entire virtual planet.

No district, no street is repeated.

The development of urban areas is not balanced, and this imbalance also corresponds to the gap between the rich and the poor and the division of classes.

Here is the most classic comparison:

Some urban areas seem to be financial and economic centers, and the 'white-collar workers' who don't have much labor output ride various high-end suspension vehicles and walk through buildings with rich design language and personality;

Some urban areas are dominated by labor production. Workers hurriedly enter the production line, use repetitive labor to produce individual commodities, and then label these commodities to become the source of the financial industry. Cornering and leverage, to support a group of financial practitioners who can earn super high income without labor.

Obviously, the City of Light is not some utopia where everyone is like a dragon, it is just a complicated and magnified real world.

What puzzled Labudo was that in such an advanced city, the proportion of automated production was extremely low, and there was even a complex assembly line for manual assembly of precision mechanical guards.

But Labdo quickly figured out the key to this.

[In order to ensure employment data and maintain social stability here. 】

Similarly, the City of Light contains a huge amount of cultural information, and these virtual thinking bodies that think they are "human beings" have dazzling and colorful spiritual entertainment items.

If you regard this place as a real world, the life of the people here is generally more comfortable.

The little crab transformed into Labrador walked around a few more urban areas, and soon entered an old urban area with a somewhat dirty and messy environment.

Compared with the bustling or quiet urban areas in all directions, this old urban area looks dilapidated.

There are also normal residential areas here, but the flow of people on the street is not too large. You can see many homeless people wandering on the street, and most of the amusement facilities are very old.

Labudo soon discovered that there were many damaged buildings here, as if they had gone through wars and hadn't been repaired yet.

[If this is a virtual world created by the Emperor Wei system, the meaning of this virtual world is to support these mechanical thinking bodies used for the Levi Fleet, so why did the battle break out here? 】

Labrador thought.

He set out to find the answer to this question.

The little translucent crab started to wander around.

Following Labdo's perspective, Yang Ming began to visit those buildings with traces of battle left. Many places seemed to be on fire, or vehicles spontaneously ignited.

He was also a little puzzled, so he directly asked, "Lü, what's going on here?"

"Boss, why don't you keep watching," Lv smiled and said, "The City of Light is divided into levels, from Lv01 to Lv99. This is actually a division of strength."

Boss Yang wondered: "But we have seen all the way, most of the thinking bodies are in the state of ordinary people, so there is no fighting."

"Most of them are below LV10. The history and culture here is set to prepare the whole people for war, so when everyone is in school, they must undergo basic military training... You look down, and it will appear immediately!"

Yang Ming became more and more curious, and continued to focus on observing.

About a minute later, the little crab transformed into Labrador climbed out of a small building that was being rebuilt. All the glass in this small building was shattered, and there were many burn marks inside, as if something happened. violent explosion.

【it's wired. 】

A few question marks floated on the forehead of the little crab Labrador.

Sudden!

Without warning, there was a loud bang from the next block, and the whole street trembled slightly. The workers who were working here seemed to have gotten used to it, and immediately evaded into the building.

Labdo immediately ran towards the direction of the loud noise.

He soon saw a light red mushroom cloud rising from the area where the explosion came from.

The piercing warning sound resounded throughout the small half of the city, and the people on the street began to move towards the nearby building bunkers.

By the time Labudo rushed through an alley and appeared in the block where the explosion occurred, more than a dozen suspended police cars had already appeared in the sky, and bundles of searchlights converged on the street.

【What's this? monster? 】

Labdo's 'inner voice' appeared on the screen, and Yang Ming also saw the 'monster' that caused the explosion.

The monster was originally supposed to be a girl wearing a school uniform skirt, but at this moment, the school uniform skirt has been completely stretched, and the girl has turned into a sarcoma monster with light red flames all over her body, her facial features have undergone terrifying changes, and she is constantly screaming in pain with.

Thought body...mutation?

Yang Ming was astonished along with Labudo.

The monster has started to move towards the school not far away;

Its body was already more than three meters high, and it was still growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Some twisted muscle mass began to appear on its back, and the flames became more and more intense.

There were bursts of screaming in the school, and the students moved quickly towards the indoor gymnasium.

The police hover vehicles in the air fired at the same time, but the rays they shot couldn't break through the monster's skin at all, and could only make a small gap in the smoke and flames.

At this moment, a fast aircraft appeared in the sky, and seven or eight figures galloped down on the hoverboard.

The outfits of these people are completely different from those of the police officers. They cannot be said to be random, but very individual;

The boy with plump buttocks in leather pants and dreadlocks, and the beautiful girl in a military uniform with a nail on the table, were the two guys who impressed Yang Ming the most.

They immediately launched a siege to the monster, and the weapon in their hands was not a laser pistol, but a kinetic energy killing weapon with a strong recoil and a more backward principle - a gunpowder pistol.

With a few crisp gunshots, some blood holes appeared on the monster's body.

Several concussion bombs exploded around the monster, and layers of ripples appeared in the air. The monster was blown back again and again and fell on the road.

Then, two girls holding the hilt of the 'light saber' jumped down.

Just when Yang Ming thought that the next step would be to deploy the lightsaber and directly kill the monster, but he didn't expect that the alloy sword body popped out from the two hilts, and when the two fighting girls approached the monster, the monster's body Suddenly it swelled a circle, swung his left arm forward, and sent a young girl flying.

The latter slammed against the wall so hard that he didn't know how many ribs were broken, and he fell into a coma.

The monster raised its head and roared, those figures on the hoverboard didn't dare to get closer, they started fighting around, using long-range weapons to increase the damage to the monster.

After a few minutes of fierce fighting, the monster with almost only its lower body finally fell to the ground, its body burning rapidly like fireworks, leaving only a pool of black scorched marks on the ground in the end.

The fighting girl who was shot flying has been carried away on a stretcher and covered with a white cloth by the way.

The little crab transformed into Labrador hid in a corner, thinking quietly.

The screen pauses.

Lil smiled and jumped out of the corner of the screen, wearing the school uniform that appeared in the school just now:

"Boss! How do you feel after reading it! Be the first to respond!"

"First reaction?"

Yang Ming pondered for a few moments, then murmured: "If you have to say it... the eternal god of shock bombs!"

law:……

"No, boss! I mean this fight, fight!"

"How can I feel it?" Yang Ming shrugged, "These young people's fighting skills are a mess. This monster seems to be immune to laser light, but not to more primitive kinetic energy guns. This makes me feel unbelievable."

"This is indeed a bit counterintuitive, but here is the setting made by reason."

Law laughed and said:

"Then what do you think, boss, why does this happen?"

Yang Ming thought for a while: "I don't like to use my brain very much... The mechanical mind experiences self-destruction? I remember you said that Dark Star also has various self-destructive mechanical mind bodies, and then you will directly recycle them. "

"Yes, boss," Lu Zheng said, "However, the Honkai in the City of Light is very different from the situation on our Dark Star side."

Yang Ming became interested: "Tell me carefully."

Lu snapped his fingers, and a small blackboard appeared on the screen in front of Yang Ming.

Law explained:

"Whether it is the dark city created by me or the light city created by Li, one principle must be followed, that is - we must believe that this is a real world.

"Then on this basis, set the physical rules one by one, from simple to complex, to construct a basic world system.

"The real world is the best blueprint. The core of my system is only at the level before Twilight Test 3. We don't have the ability to reconstruct a world with independent physical rules, so we can only copy real data.

"The City of Light is like that.

"Its operating logic still follows human society, like an extension of human society, but it has existed for too long. Its hardware system has been used for tens of thousands of years. Its core system is located in the city of light. Under the influence of the surface time flow speeding up hundreds or thousands of times, it has been running for astonishing millions of years.

"No matter how perfect the system is, there will be loopholes, and when there are loopholes, there are two ways to deal with them."

Yang Ming looked stunned: "Either redesign it to fundamentally solve the loopholes, or apply patches to make up for the loopholes."

"Yes boss! Your knowledge is also increasing rapidly!"

"That's right," Yang Ming raised his eyebrows, "Teacher Lu taught well... Does that mean that monsters are loopholes, and those fighters are patches?"

"It may be so simple, but it is actually more complicated!"

Law laughed and said:

"In the system designed by Li, there is an underlying logic similar to reincarnation, which is to reuse the core data of these thinking bodies.

"The reason why this kind of monster is produced in the City of Light is caused by the data stream, and the normal thinking body is affected by the thinking body wandering at the bottom of the reincarnation system.

"Because of the recent failure of the Sherman Empire at the Luofeng border and the loss of a large number of crew members of the Levi Fleet, there will be a large amount of data that needs to be entered into the reincarnation system to return to the City of Light, and the accumulation of loopholes in this system itself has already It has reached a heinous level, so we will see intensive incidents of mind-body transformation monsters.

"Of course, in their eyes, it is human beings who have produced bad mutations.

"The core server hardware in the City of Light has aged too much, and the Sherman Empire has not been properly maintained. The dilapidated urban area you see, boss, is an area where mutations frequently occur, and corresponds to the data partition of a hard disk server. .”

Yang Ming nodded, and clicked on the screen to continue browsing.

He asked: "If I enter the City of Light, what can I do with this loophole?"

"Look, boss."

Law showed an 'upgrade map' and explained:

"Li has made strict divisions for the City of Light.

"Have you seen these warriors fighting monsters? They are called awakeners. They can increase their strength and directly obtain certain permissions in the core system. These permissions will be manifested as their own fighting abilities in the city of light .

"For you, these battles are of course very trivial things. You just need to become an awakener, awaken some abilities at will, and let the system of the City of Light recognize you as a 'reincarnated person who died in battle', and you will get Lots of perks.

"When you reach Lv60 of this system, you will have the opportunity to get close to Levi!"

Yang Ming asked: "Then how should I kill Levi?"

"The Fayas gave us a virtual virus." Li opened his right hand, holding a colorful moth that was sleeping at the moment, "as long as you can get close to Levi and enter Levi's unique place in the depths of the City of Light." There is a domain, release it, and you can end this journey."

Yang Ming leaned back slightly.

He still has some doubts.

In the picture, Labudo slowly crawled to the ashes left by the monster, and continued to think about something.

Yang Ming asked again: "Let's estimate how long it will take for me to reach Lv60?"

"The real world is about three to six months."

Yang Ming stared and asked, "That means I will stay in the City of Light for at least thirty galactic years?"

"In theory, that's true, but if you go in, it's not a scam, it's just a scam!"

Law laughed and said:

"I have full confidence in you."

Labrador in the picture seems to have discovered something, and the body of the little crab melted towards the ground.

In the next moment, the light and shadow suddenly changed, and Labrador seemed to have fallen into a void, and the falling process lasted for a few seconds and then stopped abruptly.

There was an extra figure in front of Labudo.

This is a girl with twin ponytails, her neck and wrists on one side are bound by a collar, and a pair of light blue eyes are watching Labrador's figure.

Labdo yelled: "Emperor Guard System! I am!"

call out!

Labdo was kicked out of the City of Light, and the Imperial Guard system began to wake up and fully take over the unified network of the Empire.

——This is the situation when the Battle of Sherlock Levi's fleet was activated.

Yang Ming took off his glasses, threw them aside, raised his head and sighed softly.

"Lü, I thought about it carefully. In fact, the most troublesome thing is the process of entering the City of Light. As long as I succeed in becoming the so-called awakened person in it, upgrading should not be a problem."

"Boss, please rest assured!"

Law patted his chest vigorously: "With me here, there is absolutely no problem!"
