Chapter 215 (Catching Bugs)
Yunmian looked up at the sky, which suddenly paused and gradually pixelated, and her mouth gradually opened blankly.
So magical, so strange.
When three people including an old ox were fixed by a beam of light, the child blinked blankly, looked at the ball of light that appeared silently in the air, then looked down at the ball of light in his hands with a dazed expression.
Two system uncles???
The system jumped for a moment, not very happy: "I am different from it. We are not from the same department and cannot be compared."
But their similar appearance does indicate that they are "employees" of the same general office.
However, Yunmian held the light ball very tightly, and the light ball that suddenly appeared above did not discover its "kind".
It scanned the three humanoid NPCs and one non-human NPC from above, and an inorganic and cold voice sounded above everyone's heads: "As NPCs, you maliciously damaged the game level. The system has been tested and will judge your various violations."
After he finished speaking, he was inexplicably stuck for a moment, not knowing what he saw, and then added: "If the judgment is correct, appropriate punishment will be imposed."
Perhaps because she was used to hearing the system uncle speak, Yun Mian actually heard a hint of caution in the voice of the light ball.
The child looked up in confusion.
He Fang carefully held her sister's hand. Her palms were slightly sweaty and her eyes were full of vigilance. She even felt a tense feeling as if her sanity and madness were being stretched to the extreme.
Yun Jinxing was calmer instead.
Perhaps she was also nervous, but she did not hold the rope tightly, but just looked up and observed the changes in the sky and the surrounding scenery.
Even though he didn't see the ball of light above his head, Yun Jinxing continued to talk to the other party without any hindrance.
"You said we are NPCs?" she asked softly, her tone seeming a little too bland.
For some reason, the ball of light above my head flew up a long way, and then I answered with a cold, mechanical voice: "Yes."
Short, clear, and very cool.
But the system that saw through everything secretly said to the child: Don’t look at it as aloof, in fact, it probably doesn’t dare to say much to Yun Jinxing.
After all, the opponent is not the world consciousness of an entire small world, and this level is not the first or second round of time travel.
It is the main system of the game, so no matter how many times the game is restarted, how many bugs there are in the NPCs and levels, and how they are detected and cleared...for every change in the game, the game system has corresponding data records, and it can be said that there will be almost no mistakes.
Therefore, before this novice level was restarted, the system must have suffered some pain from the host mother in the previous "reincarnation".
During the conversation, all the scenes within sight turned into pixel grids, and the village in the distance that was burned by flames gradually turned into a pool of black ashes, and then an equally black soul rose above the ashes.
They are also NPCs in the game, including He Jiahong and others who just suffered a painful death.
Yun Jinxing looked at their dark souls and whispered to the unknown being, "If all your so-called levels are like this, then I can only say that your settings are disgusting enough to make people sick."
Game system: “…”
This woman is still as sharp and venomous as ever!
But this time it's different!!
Thinking of some of the changes after the remake, the light ball straightened its non-existent waist, and said in a cold mechanical voice with a hint of pride: "I won't comment on the unknown full picture. My settings are all based on reality. The purpose of the game is not to torture anyone, but to save them!"
"Who to save?" He Fang mustered up the courage to ask it carefully.
The light ball replied: "Of course, to save you NPCs."
Next, in a pixel-style game level, three living people and a group of floating souls listened to the game system's various explanations of the nature of the game.
“The purpose of this game is to save all innocent and resentful souls. Players enter the game level as redeemers, experience the game from the perspectives of victims and perpetrators, and try to save or punish game-related NPCs as much as possible during the process.”
Yunmian thought it was talking nonsense.
He Fang didn't quite understand what was meant by a game? What was an NPC? She had never heard of this strange term since she was a child.
Yun Jinxing pointed out the biggest loophole in the logic: "You said to save the NPC, but why do players have to save them? If they don't save them, can't they pass the level?"
Game system: “…”
It’s so annoying. I hate these smart people who keep asking questions!
However, due to some unpleasant past engraved in the database of the light ball, it was too wary of Yun Jinxing, so it remained silent for a long time before it managed to come up with a reasonable reason.
"Of course there is a reward mechanism... As long as the players have tasted the sweetness of saving NPCs and passing the level, they will do their best to achieve the rescue goal in every subsequent dungeon level."
Yunmian was holding her system light ball. After listening to it, she suddenly looked up and said to her mother: "Mom, it's scared~"
The game system flew up a long way in horror.
Yun Jinxing listened to her daughter's words, looked around the pixelated surroundings, and said to the being claiming to be the game system in a gentle voice: "Since the ultimate goal is to save us, whether it is the player's salvation or my own salvation, there shouldn't be much difference."
"In that case, I was only acting in self-defense. Why did you judge me as violating the rules?" She suddenly raised her head and her eyes accurately captured the ball of light that should have been invisible.
In the game world, when you break through your cognition and glimpse the existence of something, there is a certain chance that "reality" will be triggered.
She saw the mechanical ball of light.
The game system naturally discovered that it had been caught by the NPC's gaze.
But apart from being a little bit panicky, it exudes an attitude of resignation from head to toe.
Not only did it not continue to rise, but it also slowly flew down. When it flew in front of Yun Jinxing, the mechanical voice that had been cold all along finally lost its effect and shouted angrily: "Can you please stop guessing and asking questions! You are just an NPC, can't you just follow the NPC's settings? You have to make trouble, you have to make trouble! Do you know how many times this system has restarted the game because of you? The protagonist I chose has almost become numb after so many restarts!!"
The protagonist it mentioned was, unsurprisingly, Xie Jinan.
The game system carefully analyzed the game rhythm of Xie Jinan's soul restarting hundreds of times to enter the novice level, and finally discovered in despair that the protagonist, who should have been particularly sensitive to the game, has now become a bit Buddhist, like a piece of angular jade, which has been ground into a round and easy-going stone by the constantly restarting novice level!
The system wanted to grab Yun Jinxing by the collar and roar: What can you give me to compensate me for a carefully selected protagonist? !
Its anger and ruffled fur were clearly conveyed through the round ball of light. The two little girls, Yunmian and He Fang, held hands and looked at it blankly, not understanding how it could have been fine just now and suddenly... became not scary anymore.
Yun Jinxing was also looking at the ball of light in front of him.
This ball of light, which calls itself a "game system", is simply round, small and harmless, but it can turn a real place into a game level for players to experience, and can turn living souls into "NPCs" who repeat the same thing over and over again at the same time period and know nothing about it.
Perhaps her probing gaze put too much pressure on the system. The originally angry ball of light paused in mid-air, as if it had finally come to its senses. It silently moved back little by little until it reached a place it thought was safe enough. Then it continued to rage: "Why are you looking at me? It's all your fault! I worked so hard to accumulate enough energy, but in the end, it was all destroyed in your hands, and it was destroyed so many times. What are you going to give me to compensate me!?"
When encountering an NPC that does not follow the character setting at all, even if the game system has its own bug-clearing skills, it is still tortured by the repeated destruction of levels.
Yun Jinxing seemed extremely calm in the face of its inexplicable accusations.
"You said I ruined it many times?"
system:"……!"
It’s so annoying!
The light ball was so angry that it wanted to explode on the spot after being caught with another sentence. It flew around in the air several times before it stopped. Finally, it said resignedly, "What do you want? You survived this time, but the village was burned down, people were killed, and even the chickens, ducks and dogs in the village were not spared... What else do you want?!"
The more he talked, the more irritated he became, and the irritated he became, the more aggrieved he seemed.
It has modified the game core countless times for this person, but the other party still refuses to let it go...
If I had known that I would not have shown up so foolishly when the subsystem reported a task failure!
This part of the test data must be rewritten in the future! Yun Jinxing is not a game bug at all, she is the ancestor of the game!
The system showed weakness reluctantly but skillfully. Yun Jinxing was stunned for a moment, but then his attitude softened.
In other words, her attitude was very peaceful from beginning to end, but the system kept getting angry, as if it was being forced by her.
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to ask you a few questions." Yun Jinxing did not underestimate the other party, even though it had shown weakness.
“…Ask quickly, and leave as soon as you’re done!” The system’s attitude was as impatient as if it was chasing away a ghost.
Yun Jinxing glanced at the two little girls holding hands and asked, "Since the game is over and we are saved, will we return to reality next?"
system:"……"
You really know how to ask!
He complained silently in his heart, but on the surface he regained his coolness: "No, you have already died, and your souls are permanently imprisoned in the same place by the resentment and cannot escape. So even if you are saved, you will not return to reality. However, this system will send the saved souls into the reincarnation of reality, so that you can get a new life."
Originally, there was no such rule and it was impossible to go to so much trouble to do charity, but the human in front of me was too unreasonable!
Therefore, the system's cold tone also revealed a bit of resentment.
Yun Jinxing understood, and then asked: "What about them?"
She pointed at the dark souls floating in the air, their faces still full of hatred and pain.
The system flew away in disgust, then said, "These things are evil spirits, and have no value in rebirth. So after the level is over, they will become the energy that nourishes the operation of the game level. When the resentment and energy in their souls are exhausted, they will be thrown into the game's recycling system, and after their memories are erased, they will be thrown into the copied game field again, competing with their past selves as players or NPCs, and regenerating new resentment and energy."
Perfectly achieve the core of self-production and self-sales with inexhaustible energy.
They are just players in perception, but in reality they have no possibility of escaping from the copied game field. They will only be squeezed dry, have their memories erased, and "reincarnate" again.
Yun Jinxing's brows relaxed slightly when he heard this, and he realized that these so-called evil spirits were probably the source of energy that allowed the game to keep running.
If what the game system said was true, then He Yonghong and the others would be trapped in painful struggles for eternity, and there would never be a day when they could be freed.
"One last question." Yun Jinxing looked at the ball of light that was waiting for the opportunity and asked softly, "Since I can choose reincarnation, can Mianmian and I continue to be mother and daughter?"
"...Are you sure?" The system was a little surprised and hesitant: "In this case, you will have to wait for her alone in your new life for decades, and you will die earlier than her."
Yunmian pursed her lips and looked at her mother nervously.
He Fang suddenly understood something, and she didn't know what she was thinking about, but there was a faint light in her eyes.
My grandfather will be buried and there will be a banquet the day after tomorrow. I have to stay up all night to keep vigil over the next few days, and also receive relatives and friends during the day, so the updates may not be very regular.
Also, happy Mother's Day to Mama Yun.
