"Shall we go find bugs in the game?"

During the class meeting that day, Chesil's sudden announcement caught everyone off guard.

Just as Mu Chen said a few days ago, they will find out soon.

They just didn't expect to find out in this way.

The school itself released information about what happened in the game, and even stated that they would participate in dealing with this incredibly cunning Zerg.

How can an insect possess such mental power that it can retain its consciousness and wreak havoc in the game for so long?!

They didn't understand and were deeply shocked!

Then they were eager to try it out!

It seems that the military is not involved this time, leaving it only for military academy students from various schools to participate, supposedly to give them a chance to train.

Upon hearing this, Mingmei was unsure whether the situation in the game was under control, which is why she dared to let them practice.

Killing a real bug in a game isn't as good as in real life, but it's still a Zergling. If you actually catch one, as Chesil just mentioned, if you're lucky, your rank upon graduation will be increased.

For a time, they made various speculations about the identity of this Zerg.

What kind of insect is this? It's so valuable that catching just one would earn you a medal?

However, this does not include deer.

When he was placed into the game through the insect's spiritual power, and it already belonged to the Starfire Insect Clan, he already had a hunch.

This insect might be the one that perished alongside my father!

But this guy is really lucky; he managed to survive in the game for so long!

"The game pods for entering the game will be provided by the school. You will not be allowed to enter your own game pods afterward."

Why?

The others were slightly taken aback when they heard Chesil say this.

Why can't they use their own gaming pods?

"Because there is no protective device, once you encounter that fleeing Zerg, your mental power will not be specially protected. If you lose the battle, your mental power may be directly destroyed, just like those people who became vegetative due to playing games and were exposed on the Internet before."

Cheshire made it very clear, "These game pods were made with great difficulty to prevent you from having no way to safely exit the game if something goes wrong."

After Cheryl said all this, Mingmei realized that she had misunderstood something.

Whether the game crashes to its full extent and can be controlled is still uncertain. All they can do is prepare for a safe exit if they lose the game!

"So... are those players really destined to be like that for their entire lives?"

They had heard about the incident involving the game a while ago, but they didn't have time to investigate it further, and they weren't sure if the online claims were exaggerated.

Now that they know those people are very likely to become vegetative due to mental damage, they are filled with sorrow.

"Not necessarily. It depends on whether their mental power was truly destroyed in the game, or... whether their consciousness was simply captured and unable to return to their bodies. If you can find those players' consciousnesses while searching for the bug in the game, you might still be able to save them."

"Ah, that's good... So, will we still get credits for this?"

Even now, some people are still thinking about academic credits.

"Yes. This time, because of the Zerg, it has caused quite a bit of negative impact on the entire game. Besides that Zerg, you are very likely to encounter other malicious NPCs when you enter the game."

"Holy crap..."

They exchanged glances, still feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Do we have the option to choose which game to enter?"

"No, but the system will send you in based on the traces left by the Zerg."

...

There has been increasing discussion about the incident caused by Yan Hui's game company. Some people have even questioned why such a game has hidden dangers and why the NPC consciousness awakening thing is a joke.

Recently, the topic has even shifted to #What if AI had consciousness?# The most popular discussion above and below mentioned the main AI and its team.

Although there wasn't a single swear word in his words, his sarcastic tone and attempts to sow discord between humans and silicon-based life were obvious to anyone with eyes to see.

These words indeed sparked out a lot of discontent with the mainframe and with artificial intelligence, things that should serve humanity but are sometimes subject to various constraints because they possess consciousness.

Some people even made extreme claims, such as the idea that an AI would send its host to jail.

A man was cheating on his wife, spending her money to support a mistress, and his AI-powered account recorded the act and sent the video to his wife, who then reported it to the authorities.

Besides these, there are also cases involving moral flaws, such as a pet shop owner who liked to strip naked and dance in various provocative poses in front of his pets after closing late at night. Because the AI ​​thought the host was too mentally ill, it directly registered him as a psychologist.

In reality, the problem in these situations is more about human error; it's only when artificial intelligence makes reasonable choices based on the other party's behavior that the AI ​​makes such choices.

However, those with guilty consciences avoid this artificial intelligence, which is more advanced than quantum computers or certain functional systems.

[Hilarious! It would be one thing if the AI ​​you raise were on your side, but the problem is that many of these AIs are only loyal to the main AI!]

However, some people with ulterior motives were stirring up trouble below, directly describing the artificial intelligence as a dog of the main brain.
