Chapter 88 Save AI5, City of Wisdom
Hearing Wu Wangwang say this, everyone was somewhat tempted, but they were still cautious and did not do it immediately. Instead, they discussed the feasibility of the matter.
For example, what specific information should be sold, to what extent should it be sold, how can they sell information without being detected, and whether immediately transferring the information after selling it will be considered fraud and thus reported, etc.
When someone is severely scammed, even the most wicked person will choose to call the police because they can't bear the injustice.
Ironically, they're not afraid of being hunted down; what they're afraid of is calling the police.
Ling Yuanshan pondered Wu Wangwang's plan and said, "In that case, I'll register with Lao Wu. We're escaped test subjects, we have no identities and no past, so registering this kind of account should be much easier."
"The main thing is what kind of information to sell. We definitely can't sell information about AI. The rest doesn't seem to be that important, and it doesn't seem like we can make much money from them," the second brother said thoughtfully from the side.
“Selling our location is fine. We don’t know where to go right now, so let’s sell our current location and hide nearby to see where the others are coming from. Then we can replan our route based on their direction of origin. It’s better than us ten outsiders running around like headless flies.” Wu Wangwang simply explained the plan more clearly.
It's clear from what we've seen so far that once you remove the three clueless newcomers, the rest are all lone wolves. They'd rather work harder on their own than consider collaboration.
Wu Wangwang, through his experience of hiding among players multiple times, has learned how to be the sixth one.
After a moment's thought, the players decided to take the gamble.
The eldest and second eldest started studying the surrounding environment, figuring out how to hide from most of the pursuers. Xiao Shi and Ling Yuanshan went to set up their accounts; they had to get Ling Yuanshan's account set up first before they could teach Wu Wangwang how to set up hers.
Meanwhile, the third thief and the fourth sniper immediately used their tools and talents to scout out the surrounding area. The talents they received from the game were very useful, at least increasing their safety level.
During this time, Wu Wangwang continued to study how to use these high-tech products. In fact, she didn't even know how to use a computer and didn't usually play games that could only be played on a computer. The three newcomers were resting, as their physical strength was too poor.
Ling Yuanshan picked it up quickly, proving himself to be a veteran player who had survived other sci-fi dungeons. After he finished, he taught Wu Wangwang.
The process was much more difficult than Wu Wangwang registering a match-3 game account. In many places, she had to use a bunch of random tricks to cover up her identity, which made Wu Wangwang dizzy.
After finally managing to register an account, Wu Wangwang fumbled around in the account's contents, wondering, "Why is it so troublesome to create an account?"
"To avoid revealing your identity, even in the real world, you need to do this, creating various stepping stones and anti-tracking programs. Otherwise, the moment you log onto a website like this, the police will be at your door," Ling Yuanshan replied with a smile.
Wu Wangwang accepted the explanation. She quickly went through the various buttons on the website, then thought for a moment and said, "Sixth Brother, send a message now saying that it's related to AI and that the digital currency is priced at 6,666."
Ling Yuanshan didn't understand what Wu Wangwang was trying to do. He asked hesitantly, "This price is too low. It's out of place on the website. What kind of information would be so low, and how could it be related to the AI?"
The others heard this and turned to look at them questioningly.
Wu Wangwang pondered for a moment and said, "I'll type in the message later, just in case someone overhears."
Since Wu Wangwang insisted, Ling Yuanshan started posting. Anyway, even if his account was ruined, he still had Wu Wangwang's to use. As long as the information could be sold, they could make money and wouldn't lose money.
After the message was released, there may have been keywords, and the number of views increased rapidly, but no one chose to buy; everyone seemed to be waiting and seeing.
The third and fourth brothers returned at this time. They said that within a radius of one kilometer, apart from the small robots, they had not found any legitimate groups of people from the three major factions. The location they had arrived at was probably an abandoned area within an abandoned area, and it was isolated with no one moving around.
Wu Wangwang twirled the scissors, scanning the robots around her. She casually tossed the scissors out, piercing a string of small robots. Without stopping, she cleaned up everything visibly around her.
“Let’s go. Now we’ll move around while we clean up, at least to a place where we can temporarily block the signal, but won’t be able to tell that we’ve cleaned up the robots,” Wu Wangwang said, standing up.
"Why? Why did you suddenly make a move? It was so cool though." Old Eight stood up and asked.
Wu Wangwang pointed at Ling Yuanshan's screen and said, "The number of views has been increasing. The price is not high. Given the immoral nature of the underground people, even if it's shit, they would buy it to taste it if it's so cheap. But the number of views keeps increasing and no one is buying it. After I dealt with the robots, the number of views surged, which means that there must be spies among these robots."
These spies exposed certain information about them, causing those who wanted the information to refrain from purchasing it for various clandestine reasons, fearing they might be providing them with assistance. However, after the robot was damaged, the firsthand information was lost, so the pageviews would be even higher, and they realized that these ten people might actually be quite capable.
After hearing Wu Wangwang's words, the leader's expression changed: "This is bad. If there were any people among the robots who wanted a share of the spoils, and they already know that the AI is in our hands, I'm afraid..."
Everyone tensed up immediately. At that moment, Ling Yuanshan said, "Someone made a purchase. What was the private message?"
Ling Yuanshan stood up and pushed the screen towards Wu Wangwang. As agreed, if someone made a purchase, Wu Wangwang would post it. Moreover, Ling Yuanshan had thoughtfully changed the input method to Pinyin, which was the only one Wu Wangwang knew.
On the screen, the buyer asked: What information is there related to the smart brain?
Without even probing or threatening, such a composed person must know more information and doesn't care how much they can sell. Perhaps they just see them as pitifully poor and watch them struggle like a cat playing with a mouse. After all, this little money isn't enough for them to survive and leave this level of checkpoint, meaning that sooner or later they will run out of money and either starve to death or be caught by those inhuman creatures.
Wu Wangwang raised her hand and tapped lightly on the screen, replying: "The AI has lost 70% of the control of the main system. Even if the AI returns, it still cannot regain control of the world system."
After sending the message, there was no response for a long time. Wu Wangwang didn't wait any longer and asked Ling Yuanshan to continue uploading the message, as they were moving to a different location.
Before the others could react to what Wu Wangwang was trying to do, Ling Yuanshan immediately realized after retracting the light screen: "I understand, you want to muddy the waters?"
“No one can resist the temptation of conquering the world. In times of chaos, even the village butcher would dream of becoming a general,” Wu Wangwang replied calmly.
Essentially, it's another case of the snipe and the clam fighting while the fisherman benefits, only there are more snipe and clam than fishermen. They don't actually need to establish a new regime. The judge said that as long as they find a way to coexist, that's enough. But peaceful coexistence is always something that only happens after war. Only the mighty and benevolent have their voices heard.
During the escape, the second brother frantically rubbed a jamming device with his hands, the eldest and third brothers led the way, and the fourth and tenth brothers covered the rear.
As the seventh brother ran, he suddenly said, "But if we keep stirring up trouble like this, won't we become the target of everyone's anger? If we get caught, we'll be finely chopped into mincemeat!"
They're not going to cut them into human sticks anymore, it's not that cheap.
Wu Wangwang glanced at him sideways: "We shouldn't be arrested in the first place. If we are arrested, is there any difference between chopping us into human pigs and chopping us into minced meat?"
"Bigger pieces are easier to bury..." Old Seven muttered under his breath, then Old Eight punched him hard on the head, making him reluctantly stop talking nonsense.
Ling Yuanshan kept a close eye on the messages and said that several more buyers had placed orders. Wu Wangwang immediately said, "Copy what I just said. No matter who asks, just send that one sentence."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuanshan chuckled softly, "Understood."
They were cleaning up the robots along the way, making their movements very easy to track. This was a bluffing signal, and also a way to give the second son more materials to build.
After running down another thirty floors, the second brother finally said, "It's done. Wear these on your bodies. This way, we won't be detected by those little robots, but it won't create an undetectable area. In other words, everything is normal; we're just invisible."
The talents given in the dungeon are really useful. Wu Wangwang urged everyone to put them on quickly. From now on, instead of moving any of the little robots, we should carefully avoid them and not leave any unnecessary traces.
Experienced players know how to handle this, but the three newbies are helpless. They don't even have any items, so they can only rely on other players who are free to carry one around.
Wu Wangwang didn't let them run too far. They found a secluded corner and stopped, continuing their plan to wait.
They've taken down so many robots, there must be surveillance cameras among them, and they've been taking them down the whole way, except for this area where surveillance is missing. To create a path, even if they don't care about them, they still need to get the repairman to fix it. Then they can record the people's walking routes and know where to go.
After running for almost a day, the players were also a bit exhausted and started eating. They sorted out the compressed energy packs they had, and after removing the one that Lao Ba had eaten, there were 83 left. They distributed 8 packs to each person first, and the extra 3 packs were divided equally among the three newcomers.
Old Nine held the pills and asked, "Why are you giving us extra?"
“Yes, yes, why?” Lao Ba nodded in agreement.
The leader distributing the pills said, "Because the three of you are the most prone to injury and falling behind, this energy pack seems to be able to restore fatigue-related damage to the body. If you can't hold on any longer, just take one, so you won't hold us back."
The reason was irresistible, so the three newcomers accepted.
Wu Wangwang doesn't need to eat this kind of thing. She intended to leave it for others, but if she can live a long time without eating it, the referee will probably want to see what kind of powerful player she is.
Left with no other choice, Wu Wangwang ate it too.
After eating the compressed food, their strength was immediately restored, their hunger disappeared, and they spoke with much more energy.
The leader adjusted the schedule and said seriously, "At most, we have eleven days left to leave the main city. If we don't leave the main city and stay trapped here, we will definitely be found. And there will always be a day when we run out of ammunition and food. Only by going out can we find other ways to survive."
Everyone nodded solemnly, and at that moment, the fourth brother, who was keeping watch, said, "They're here."
