Simulate a thousand times, I have a method to speed through the escape game

Zheng Xun and Luo Mingxuan spent a full two hours in the dungeon, with the sound of hammers and Luo Mingxuan's screams interspersed during this time.

Despite this, Luo Mingxuan himself was not injured. One is that he runs fast, and the other is that Zheng Xun is just scaring people.

After struggling for a while, Zheng Xun, who was running wildly, suddenly stood on the same spot and yawned, feeling tired.

Just as the preset time limit for the copy was reached, Luo Mingxuan suddenly opened his eyes and pulled the patch off his forehead.

Turning around, Zheng Xun lay on the bed with only wooden boards, curled up, and slept soundly.

"It seems to be some sort of fixed setting that forces him to go into sleep mode at ten o'clock."

Xu Guan explained from the side.

Luo Mingxuan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's amazing. I remember that he doesn't need to sleep in the dungeon? Doesn't it mean that players who download the dungeon in the middle of the night can also bump into Zheng Xun?"

"The inside and outside of the copy are probably different."

Xu Guan replied.

Regarding some of Zheng Xun's habits, they, the players with internal beta qualifications, had private discussions. Zheng Xun himself is incorporeal as a holographic projection, but he can turn on various electrical switches at home, and also has some abilities to pick up objects from a distance (he cannot pick up things that are too heavy). If you ignore his origins and background, he is like a smart butler in the room.

Of course, don't call Zheng Xun a smart butler in front of him, but if you call him "the god in charge of electrical switches," he will be very happy.

Zheng Xun, who came out of the dungeon, was still as willful as he was in the dungeon. There is no such thing as asking him to be obedient. He carries an electronic operating log to record his daily actions for easy review during maintenance. In the eyes of the players, this is purely Zheng Xun's grudge book.

Players Cheng Jie and He Yuxing suffered greatly. Cheng Jie, a serious electronics enthusiast, was planning to turn his home into a barren state, but finally gave up after the persuasion of contestant He Yuxing. The reason is that Zheng Xun will project himself onto all the walls to achieve a state of confusion in which "no matter where he goes, he will be surrounded by Zheng Xun."

Not everyone was so hesitant in getting along with Zheng Xun. Xu Guan is now gradually adapting to Zheng Xun's rhythm. It is said that Xiao Jun and Zhao Ran got along well with Zheng Xun from the beginning. Cheng Jie once asked Xiao Jun for advice. He always felt that the batch sent to him by Jiayi Group was different from the batch sent to Xiao Jun.

In response, Xiao Jun asked him to look less for objective reasons and reflect more on himself.

Sleep mode is the only thing that Cheng Jie, He Yuxing and others are thankful for. Even if Zheng Xun peels off the ceiling during the day, he still has to fall asleep at ten o'clock.

In fact, this sleep mode was proposed by Boss Qin Yiqin himself. When Zheng Xun was a child, he, as his guardian, asked him to develop the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Even though Zheng Xun is now in a virtual state, Qin Yi still asks him to maintain his habits.

If you can't control it in the dungeon, why can't you still operate it outside the dungeon?

Zheng Xun fell asleep. As long as the camera ball suspended above is turned off, he will remain in this sleeping position until dawn.

Luo Mingxuan whispered beside him.

"It's amazing, it looks like the real thing! I can't imagine how popular the White Tower would be if it were really promoted on a large scale."

Xu Guan was silent, seeming to be thinking about something.

Luo Mingxuan understood his character and continued talking on his own.

"But Zheng Xun, this NPC, is very special. I think Jiayi Group values ​​him very much. Any new features will be introduced to him first. Oh, by the way, Lao Xu, do you know that it was revealed two days ago that Jiayi Group wants to Turn off Zheng Xun’s voice chat function, only turn off Zheng Xun, and keep all other NPCs.”

"Is there such a thing?"

Xu Guan looked back at Luo Mingxuan and asked with his eyes.

"That's right, you don't know, right? I actually didn't find it either. I asked Yuxing, Chengjie and others, and they all said it's okay. Even Mo Qian's chat can be used normally. This is so abnormal."

"..."

Xu Guan wanted to ask him if he was sure it wasn't Mo Qian who was being arrogant.

After thinking about it, I gave Captain Mo some face and didn’t ask.

"But we people are not talking nonsense, so we don't know that a small number of players on the Internet have not been closed off Zheng Xun's chat function. Despite this, the players still made a fuss. Jiayi Group was forced to reopen, and the reason it found was Technology upgrade. But later everyone said that the new Zheng Xun Chat was different from the original one, more like a ruthless reply machine. Can this technology upgrade be reversed? It caused a big stir and became a hot topic. But it was soon suppressed again..."

Xu Guan thought and said suddenly.

"It's very abnormal. But if you think of Zheng Xun as a human being, Jiayi Group doesn't want him to waste energy talking to so many people at the same time. Except for a specific small group of people, the rest are replaced by AI."

"If you want to explain it this way... then it makes sense. But with this premise... can Zheng Xun really be regarded as a human being?"

Xu Guan looked at Zheng Xun who was sleeping. There was no quilt, and he had half of his face hidden in his collar.

"This is not a question of how we look at it. From voice chat to virtual projection. Zheng Xun... is 'becoming' a real person."

Xu Guan thought about it and said again.

"Actually, your idea is easy to verify. When this internal beta is over, we will see if Jiayi will release a large number of Zheng Xun's holographic projection balls to the market."

Xu Guan's statement was quickly confirmed. At the end of the first month after the first ten test slots were released, ten players received a feedback questionnaire from the White Tower.

There are several questions on the questionnaire, mainly around the experience of using the holographic projection ball. Some of the questions are quite satisfactory, but there is no single word about Zheng Xun.

The last question was "Other content that needs feedback." Xu Guan thought about it and wrote two lines. The stylus makes a rustling sound when rubbed against the surface of the tablet.

What he gave back was not an opinion, he asked a question.

Three months after the feedback ended, Baita officially launched the first batch of holographic projection balls for the world.

As Xu Guan guessed, Zheng Xun’s name is not among this batch of selectable characters.

Zheng Xun has many gamer fans, but Boss Qin doesn't know what he thinks, but he just doesn't want to make this money.

The players are crying and fighting, but Boss Qin is hard-hearted.

When the first batch of products are officially launched, Jiayi Group announced that it will customize a batch of holographic projection balls of the character [Zheng Xun] and give them to some game players who have in-depth cooperation with the company.

Once the news was released, it caused an uproar on the Internet. Everyone is guessing which players can get it, and they must all be the masters of the major guilds.

There are also players who are spending a lot of money to buy, trying to use their money ability to qualify.

The TV is showing the live broadcast of the White Tower press conference, and Qin Yi is giving a speech. Xu Guan sat by the floor-to-ceiling window and read a book, and the afternoon sunlight poured into the room.

Zheng Xun was near the TV, sitting cross-legged on the edge of the soft carpet. The white puzzle pieces were scattered on the floor, and he was patiently putting them together piece by piece.

This box of white puzzles was a gift from Xu Guan. Zheng Xun likes to play with these things, puzzles, building blocks, Rubik's cubes... Only at this time will he be particularly quiet.

Xu Guan's eyes fell on Zheng Xun, the sun shone on his broken hair, and his whole body seemed to have a furry halo.

He watched him freely pick up a piece of the puzzle, adjust the angle, press it on the already assembled piece, and then pick up another piece.

Xu Guan glanced at the metal ball that landed on the armrest of the sofa.

Sure enough, it didn't turn on at all.

"Zheng Xun, you have a physical body."

Xu Guan said in a precise tone.

"Huh? Well..."

Zheng Xun didn't look up, responded vaguely twice, and continued to put together the puzzle.

Xu Guan made a new discovery, but he was not surprised.

He had heard news that Jiayi Group had purchased bionic-related technologies.

Why is Qin Yi so obsessed with letting Zheng Xun have a physical body.

Why must he become a human being?

Xu Guan asked in his heart.

The room was quiet for another moment. Zheng Xun put a quarter of the puzzle together, looked at it, and seemed to be considering whether to finish it today.

Xu Guan observed him silently, when Zheng Xun suddenly raised his head.

"Why didn't you ask anything?"

"Do I need to ask anything?"

"..."

Zheng Xun had a series of questions in his mind, such as asking him why he had an entity and when he had an entity... Xu Guan was obviously curious, but he just didn't ask.

Zheng Xun messed up his hair.

"I'm going out to play."

"You will be arrested. Now there are people everywhere who want to buy you for a lot of money."

"Turn off the phone."

"The camera ball is off."

"..."

The second before Zheng Xun was completely annoyed, Xu Guan narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"I have a lot of questions."

"Then you don't ask?!"

"Even if you ask, there is no difference between not asking."

Xu Guan was indeed confused, but then he thought about it and realized what kind of existence Zheng Xun was. It didn't make sense whether he was a human, a bionic, or a projection.

They will always get along like this, it doesn't matter who Zheng Xun is.

"Where is the fight? Let me see."

Xu Guan put down the book, sat on the floor, and looked at the white puzzle pieces scattered on the ground seriously.

Zheng Xun stared at the top of his head for a long time, then sat back on the carpet.

"I want to finish it myself."

"Then I'll watch."

Zheng Xun calmed down and continued to piece together the puzzle.

The scattered white on the floor gradually returned to its original position, and Xu Guan thought of the last question in the questionnaire.

[If you have any other comments or suggestions, please enter them in the text box. ]

After thinking quietly at that time, he wrote down a question.

[Do game characters feel lonely? ]

He knew he wouldn't get an answer, but he asked anyway.

——I am a person who clearly distinguishes between virtuality and reality.

Xu Guan asked himself, and he knew that his strengths were his rationality and never-ending exploration.

But when it comes to Zheng Xun’s issue, the more you explore, the more blurry the boundary between virtuality and reality becomes.

When he finished filling in the questions, Xu Guan realized that if he continued, sooner or later he would fall into a dilemma of debating with himself.

When the white puzzle was completed, Zheng Xun raised his arms and jumped up to cheer for himself.

Seeing this scene, Xu Guan was relieved.

So be it.

Allow my life, which has been planned too clearly, to have a small patch of hazy whiteness.
