Chapter 203: The Simulated Universe Epilogue
"You have a message!"
"Hey! Qiong, your phone is ringing. Is someone looking for you again?" March Seven's gaze shifted away from the camera, and he quickly noticed that the Star Core Spirit glanced at him and then continued playing the game console.
"It's the Black Tower, no rush."
"It's her! I remember that you two had a regular cooperation, it was...what was it?" March Seven said without hesitation.
Qiong opened her phone and showed Sanyueqi the message interface. There was only a brief and concise message:
Black Tower
(This account is no longer active | Business contact: Estelle)
"Upgrade completed, come and test"
Sanyueqi hesitated, "Uh—your communication is really concise."
There's nothing we can do about it. Just like at work, we see each other every day, so the communication efficiency has tripled to this point at an extremely fast speed.
This is how the pioneers understand it. Of course, there may also be factors related to the personalities of both parties...
Fortunately, the [Boundary Anchor Point] will light up in the areas that have been opened up, so you can move back and forth freely, and it doesn’t matter if you drag it a little.
It didn't take long, mainly because I needed to clear my mind first. I didn't know what new things the Black Tower had added to the [Simulated Universe]. If the amount of information was too much, the Star Core Spirit, who was less than one year old, would not be able to handle it.
[Simulated Universe] is indeed a virtual world inserted into a universe. It always happens in unexpected situations, and cunning knowledge flows into the brain just like that.
——It’s the kind of situation where even if you accidentally mention the content of the [Simulated Universe] in real life, no one will mistake it for a game.

…
As expected, this time, new information has been expanded. According to the real timeline, the major event on a cosmic scale, following the "Cosmic Locust Plague" and the "First Imperial War", was the "Second Imperial War", led by Rupert II.
But that's not the point of this test; the simulated universe doesn't do that part.
——They couldn't do it even if they wanted to. The time period is too long ago, and there are also fictional historians. Even if they did add it in, it would only disrupt the other simulation data.
The main theme of the simulation is the "School War" that was derived from the "School of Knowledge" which inherited the "Scepter System" from Rupert's corpse.
The Scepter System is to Rupert II what the Anti-Life Program is to Emperor Rupert. Over 100 Amber Ages ago, Rupert's knowledge was reborn through the mind of Rupert II, and using the Scepter's core, a new war began.
Back to the topic, the Black Tower expansion function must be simulated because we want to know the history that was blurred during the School War.
Both she and Screwgum believe in the existence of the "Candle Ink School" and they will not allow fictional historians or "mystery" to tamper with the history recorded and preserved by them.
Heita wanted to know what they were hiding.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with pioneers whose heads are filled with hateful academic terms.
"After all, you still have to look at me, right?"
After receiving a positive answer, the hardworking Master Qiong started another day of work...
The Trail Blazers are used to being caught off guard by unexpected events, saying, "It happens occasionally."
According to the process, Heita, as the GM, should give compensation.
——The fact that you can’t select multiple [Components] this time doesn’t bother me.
The pioneers waited quietly, waiting...
?
He slowly typed a question mark.
"Where are the people?"
scratching head.jpg
There was no other way, except to approach this sudden incident. The Star Core Master, who had lit up many lives, boldly approached—
[Simulated Universe]
You walked into a narrow storage room where inky shadows covered most of the items.
[Simulated Universe]
The old mechanical parts blend harmoniously with the yellowed and scattered papers, making it very crowded. I picked up an object at my feet, which was stained with rust. Only the speaker was gray.
[Simulated Universe]
"Have you heard of Rupert's Friends?" the aging, shrunken omnic raises his head from the pile of junk and speaks in a low voice. He takes the ancient device from your hand unhurriedly, and you notice the icy blue veins running through its casing, which resemble blood vessels more than wires.
=>｜Sounds a little familiar.
[Simulated Universe]
"Then you should know Him," he said with a chuckle, the roar of machinery emanating from his small body. "I once raised a pointless defense against Him, announcing His existence to the entire universe."
[Simulated Universe]
"For this reason, I gave up the Emperor's legacy. I continued to wage war against organic life..." He shook his head, seemingly unperturbed. "Let me show you my collection! Oh, they're all relics of the Emperor."
=>｜Will you explode if you look at me one more time?
[Simulated Universe]
"Hmm... You reminded me. There are also the emperor's privacy in this, which really should not be shared..." A spring suddenly popped out of his head.
=>｜Now I have to watch this!
[Simulated Universe]
As you took the yellowed papers collected by the omnic, you suddenly remembered something.
=>｜Which Rupert were you talking about?
[Simulated Universe]
"The original Rupert!" he suddenly became excited, the springs on his forehead wobbling, and then his voice deepened. "Actually, many people know the identity of [Rupert's Friends], but due to the pressure from the CP fans, no one can say it."
=>｜What did you just say powder?
[Simulated Universe]
"CP fans!" he erupted in emotion. "Zandar and ■■■'s CP is heresy! ...Oh, I still can't pronounce His name."
=>｜Banned word? I just heard a beep.
[Simulated Universe]
"Hey, kid, that's really offensive." The omnic looked at you, his eyes rolling. "Well, it seems you're an outsider. Tell me, is the combination of [Friends of Rupert] and [Rupert] more suitable, or is it the combination of [Zandar] more suitable?"
=>｜[Friends of Rupert] and Rupert.
(Obtain 200 cosmic fragments)
=>｜[Friends of Rupert] and Zandar.
(All characters lose 80% of their current health and receive 3 random 2-star blessings)
=>｜Rupert and Zandar.
(75% chance to receive a 3-star Blessing of Joy)
The pioneer chose the third option without hesitation. This bug automatically generated an event, which Qiong had to describe in detail.
He was already getting bored. When he saw the ice flowers on the omnic's body, he originally wanted to describe it to Sanyueqi, just like the cat cake before. This was the omnic version of her!
But now that I have described it once, do I have to describe it again when I return to the train?
So annoying.jpg
"I understand. It must have been Aha in the simulation world who did it." Heita's tone was a little irritated. "It's Him again! This time He must have found something wrong again!"
At this time, ScrewGum looked at the Black Tower. "If I remember correctly, Black Tower, one of the rare objects that disappeared from the space station last time was the Friend of Rupert. My guess is that you had another sudden impulse and placed it into the simulated universe."
"Tsk!" Hearing this, Black Tower obviously remembered, "You're right, Screw Gum. Its number is 4..."
"It's exactly the number of geniuses involved in developing the simulated universe. I was hoping to simulate any traces of that mysterious 'Friends of Rupert'!"
"That must be why Aha acted like that. Logic: Rupert's friend is closely related to Aha, yet, he doesn't exist in the simulation."
Heita was furious. "Yes, yes! I think those myths about the stars written by some fictional historians are not that far-fetched. At least Ah Ha's behavior confirms some of them."
…
The event was eventually named "Friends of Rupert" (Part 1).
...because it appeared again later (Part 2).
The protagonist this time is——
"Machine head! How could it be him?!" The puppet in the black tower was almost flushed. "Didn't I clear out all the data of that strange object?! What's going on?!"
Compared to the calm Ruan Mei and Screw Gum, Stephen Lloyd's side was as quiet as if dead, which was obviously abnormal.
After noticing this, Black Tower's silence gave the genius a great sense of oppression. He spoke awkwardly, "Uh, I just want to add some random events to this game. That would be fun..."
Thump, thump, thump.
His fingertips tapped on the table. Heita no longer had time to pay attention to his wording. He spoke word by word, "Get to the point. What did you add?"
“…”
"Don't say you actually added those celebrity mysteries to the mix, Stephen!"
"No, no. How could I possibly add such a thing?" Stephen quickly denied. "I simply made a deal with the simulated Star God of Joy so that I don't have to check on Him every once in a while."
Next, Stephen Lloyd gave a detailed account of his crimes.
"So, what's upgraded?" The indifferent game tester skipped the plot.
"I just added a non-existent character as your teammate. Due to the lack of data, the simulation will automatically fill in the relevant information. Generally speaking, just like the Akivelli you play, that unnamed guy and Akivelli have some kind of teammate relationship."
"Of course, you can also pretend that you have teammates."
Qiong nodded. "I completely understand. Anyway, let's just test it normally, right?"
"Very good, then let's continue."
Recalling the previous two incidents, the online level 10 surfers were already looking forward to it. This random event was like eating melons on the spot, a chance to eat melons while doing serious work...
——I finally understood Qingque’s feelings.
The first time I learned about Rupert reading the Star God History; the second time I learned that Boshizun also participated in writing the Star God History...
Qiong's mood belike——
Tell me, do you have any surprises that I don't know about?
Squinting smile.jpg
When he entered the simulated universe with great anticipation, he saw another character beside him.
Black question mark face.jpg
He remembered what Black Tower meant: there were no teammates! He was just pretending to have one. Could it be that there was actually an extra humanoid follower?
"Oh! Achievelli, you really don't act like it!" The human-machine made a strange expression.
[Simulated Universe]
"Damn it! Aha got in! Does he want to retrace that person's journey?" Black Tower gritted his teeth. "Why don't you get out first? You shouldn't have considered Stephen's advice!"
Ruan Mei's cold voice rang out, "But none of us objected at the time. No scholar wouldn't be curious about that person's whereabouts."
