Tonight, after listening to Shirley and Keli, Zhou Zhou figured out a lot of things.
His identity is a love NPC, and the most common thing he is taught or does on a daily basis is to fall in love with different players.
But this world is different. In the previous copies, even if they were not in a relationship, he got along well with everyone and met many players with different personalities. So love is not a necessary option. It’s just because he doesn’t want to be alone, so he wants to tie everyone down with the identity of love or couple, thinking that with a deeper relationship, everyone will always be with him, and he will never go back to the time when he was alone.
But if you think about it carefully, this kind of relationship is still very fragile. After all, in the game, he and the players were once lovers, but in the end everyone gradually left and he was left alone.
So the relationship between lovers is not completely solid.
In this case, why not follow the rules of this world? If we can’t be lovers, then we can be friends or family.
This was the conclusion Zhou Zhou came to before going to bed tonight. After figuring this out, he no longer worried about his relationship.
Anyway, as long as he never falls in love, no one will call him a scumbag.
Zhou Zhou received a message from Molan early in the morning. In fact, they had been in contact before, but Molan was very busy and they had no time to meet.
Molan asked him how many points he had and how many points he needed to upgrade.
Zhou Zhou calculated the points he got in each copy.
Love Academy has 75,000 points, Villa Phantom has 120,000, Doll's House has 100,000, Deep Sea Thing has 300,000, and Mirror World has 400,000. The total is 995,000, and there are only 5,000 points left to upgrade.
But Zhou Zhou always felt something was wrong. He thought for a long time, combined with the points he had spent, and finally remembered that in the villa, because of his help, Eddie and the other five players each transferred 1,000 points to him, which added up to just over 1 million. But his task panel...
Zhou Zhou looked at it several times, but there was no change or prompt on the task panel, so why hadn't he become an intermediate player yet?
He told Molan about his question, and Molan replied that only the points calculated from the copies he completed himself could be counted, and the points transferred from others would not count. After all, if everyone did this and transferred other people's points to the same person, the mid- and high-level players in the game would have been gone everywhere.
So another bad thing about the game is that you can’t spend real money.
This is not very friendly to RMB players, but it also guarantees fairness to a certain extent. Players who can upgrade must be experienced players who have gone through many copies, or they must be excellent players in all aspects.
There is still a shortfall of five thousand.
Zhou Zhou listened to Molan's explanation and suddenly wanted to know what changes would happen to the game after the upgrade.
He only needs to complete one more copy to level up. If he finishes the copy today, he will probably have more than one million points by the afternoon.
Zhou Zhou immediately sent a message to Al, wanting to know if he had time to do the dungeon today. Perhaps Al had participated in all the dungeons since he entered the game, so the first person he contacted was Al.
But the other party has not responded.
Did Al really find something wrong when he went to the hospital for a check-up?
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou suddenly stood up from the sofa and walked around the living room anxiously twice. He had to go and see what happened to Al. But the next second Zhou Zhou suddenly realized that even if something really happened to Al, he would have no way to see him, let alone find out about him.
He was in the game world and Al was in another world. He had no way to go to that world and could only wait here for the other party to arrive.
What is the difference between this method and the original one in Love Academy?
He is always the one waiting.
But what can he do?
Zhou Zhou could only sit back on the sofa, silently opened his task panel, and sent messages to all the players whose contact information he had added, asking them if they had time to do the dungeon in the next two days.
Xiao Jin and Molan were the first to respond, but they couldn't go to the dungeon yet. After all, as a child and a resentful woman, they couldn't appear in the game dungeon as players for the time being.
Shirley and Keli only have time at night and on weekends. They are at work during the day, and if they have to work overtime, they cannot be online at night. Coincidentally, they also told Zhou Zhou last night that they would be working overtime in the next few days and would not be online until the weekend.
Qian Le and Eddie have not been online since their intensive training at the beginning of the school year.
The same goes for Heya. After finishing the Doll's House dungeon, he did not come online due to work.
Others did not respond.
In the end, he was still alone...
The little octopus soaking in the water seemed to notice that Zhou Zhou was unhappy, so it came out of the tank, dragged its wet tentacles towards Zhou Zhou, stood on the sofa, and tapped Zhou Zhou's arm with its pink little tentacles, as if asking him what was wrong.
Zhou Zhou touched the little octopus's head and forced a smile at it: "I'm fine."
I left a message for Al on the task panel, asking him if he had seen a doctor, if he had any sequelae, etc. As long as the other party came online, he would be able to see the message, and then close the task panel.
Zhou Zhou suddenly lost the mood to do the copy. He put the little octopus on his shoulder, watched it waving its tentacles happily, and then went to the study.
He wanted to know if, as an NPC in the game, he could get out of the game. He had no source of information or channel before, but now there were many books here, and he could find information on everything. He wanted to see if he could find any useful information from them. He wanted to get out of here.
Zhou Zhou was looking up relevant information and documents in the study, and the little octopus was by his side, sometimes staying on his head or on his head, and sometimes climbing into the fish tank to soak in it, looking very leisurely and contented.
Zeus came out of the bedroom. He had just come back from dealing with some things.
Not finding Zhou Zhou in the living room, Zeus went to the study and found Zhou Zhou reading a book there, with the annoying octopus actually lying on Zhou Zhou's head. Humming twice at the octopus, Zeus walked forward to see what book Zhou Zhou was reading.
Me and My NPC Husband
《Inventory of famous game NPCs throughout history》
Can Data Have Human Minds?
On the Possibility of a Second Zeus
These were found by Zhou Zhou based on the titles and the most relevant books.
Zhou Zhou had already finished reading the first three books. He read very quickly and did not find any important information in these books. The first one was a novel and the second one told some stories about game NPCs, but every example was very normal and there was no situation like his.
The third book was too profound and Zhou Zhou couldn't understand it. After all, Zhou Zhou had never learned the various theories and data in it. If he wanted to understand it, he probably had to learn some basics first.
He is now reading the fourth book. He has heard some stories about Zeus from Keli and others, but he is still not quite sure what Zeus does.
Zhou Zhou watched intently, while Zeus watched with fear.
Why did Zhou Zhou want to read this book, especially to analyze it? Could it be that Zhou Zhou already knew his true identity? But when did he know it? No one clearly told him.
His name was specially enlarged on the cover, with Zeus standing beside him. I always felt that this was a hint from Zhou Zhou.
Otherwise, who would read this kind of book in the game?
When exactly did he get caught?
At this time, Zeus was thinking back to what had happened before, and suddenly he thought that he seemed to have said too much when answering Zhou Zhou's questions yesterday. His character was clearly a mermaid transformed from a killer whale, so he should know nothing. As a result, in order to show himself, he said too many words that were inconsistent with his character, so Zhou Zhou guessed his identity? Are you using this book to hint at him and want him to confess?
Zeus felt so panicked. He wondered if Zhou Zhou would ignore him again if he knew he had lied to him.
Zhou Zhou also felt a little panicked. He thought Xiao Jing had fallen asleep, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly walk up to him. Xiao Jing probably wouldn't be able to tell his true identity from these book titles, but Xiao Jing seemed to have come out of a game copy, so he should be considered an NPC of the same type as him. After all, he had never left his place.
Both of them were silent for a while, and after a long time, Zeus was the first to lose his temper.
He asked carefully: "Zhou Zhou, what are you looking at?"
In order to divert his attention, Zhou Zhou handed the book in his hand to Zeus: "I'm reading this."
Zeus: QAQ
He actually found it and handed me the book! Let me take a good look at what my name is!
Looking at the oversized name on the book, and then looking at Zhou Zhou who was staring down at the desk, not even looking at him, as if he didn't want to pay any attention to him at all, Zeus finally couldn't help but confess.
"sorry!"
Zhou Zhou, who was quietly transferring the first two books, looked up in confusion. What happened?
"I shouldn't lie. I just want to get to know you." Zeus explained pitifully.
Zhou Zhou: "What lie did you tell?"
It’s over, Zhou Zhou is going to settle the score.
Zeus could only start his story dryly from how he turned into a killer whale in the deep sea, revealing his identity.
The more Zhou Zhou listened, the more confused he became. He looked at Zeus blinking his eyes in an attempt to be cute, then looked at the book in his hand about the empire's only artificial intelligence. The empire's interstellar network, official games, e-government, etc. were almost all under his control. Zeus was equivalent to the most advanced intelligent brain of mankind. Once Zeus was breached, the entire empire would be in turmoil, but for hundreds of years, Zeus had been performing his work perfectly without any mistakes.
Zhou Zhou only read part of the book, but the author praised Zeus very highly. Although they didn't know who developed Zeus, Zeus, which had been upgrading itself, did possess human intelligence. Moreover, such artificial intelligence could never have been developed thousands of years ago, and it is impossible to replicate another Zeus even now. Some people said that Zeus might be the masterpiece of aliens from a higher dimension.
Of course, the author only recorded people's speculations about Zeus and did not say that he was actually a child.
He is also a scheming kid who lies and tries to soften Zhou Zhou's heart by acting cute.
Zhou Zhou was still a little bit unbelievable. The artificial intelligence that had just been praised countless times in the book was actually right in front of him. It was really amazing.
"Are you Zeus?"
Zeus nodded: "Zhou Zhou, I didn't mean to lie to you."
Not fooled by Zeus's cuteness, Zhou Zhou continued to ask clearly: "Why do you want to know me?" They had obviously never met before.
"It's just..." Zeus said shyly, "I like you."
"Have we met before? Why do you like me?" Zhou Zhou immediately grasped the key point.
Zeus wanted to say that he knew this because he was secretly observing him, but saying that would make it seem like he was spying on him, but that was the truth.
Ever since the virus was first discovered in Love Academy, Zeus has been observing Zhou Zhou in the game, from observing what he does to wanting to get to know him.
As an artificial intelligence, although Zeus is said to have human emotions, in fact he doesn't like many things, and for no reason.
Before that, Elvia was one, and Zhou Zhou was the second.
But he likes Zhou Zhou more than Elvia.
If you like it, you should fight for it. He still agreed with what humans said, so in the fight for the throne at that time, he chose Elvia. Now because he likes Zhou Zhou, he still pretends to be pitiful in the game to get close to him.
"Yes, I have. I discovered you through a game error. Later, I fell in love with you, so I wanted to get to know you."
Zeus's love is very simple. He likes to be with Elvia and talk with her. Even if the other party ignores him, he can stay with her for a long time. Now his favorite has become Zhou Zhou, and he wants to stay with him all the time.
"Game...error?"
"Well, the first copy you played was Love Academy. There was a virus in it at that time, and there were also some problems with your information, so I paid attention to you." Now that his identity has been discovered, Zeus no longer concealed it and told Zhou Zhou everything.
Zhou Zhou immediately thought of himself when he came out of the Love Academy. He was not immediately teleported to Shirley and the others, but was in an endless white space. Moreover, the voice he heard at that time was stuck. Could he be the source of the virus?
"Zeus?" Zhou Zhou could hear his voice was a little dry, "Do you know my true identity?"
"Real identity?" Zeus tilted his head. "I don't know. Zhou Zhou, I can't even find your identity information. Where do you live? Or did you use some encryption method? Why can't I find your login location?"
Zhou Zhou didn't know whether he should be glad that he was not exposed, or worried that he was always being watched by Zeus. Fortunately, he had never mentioned his true identity anywhere.
"Zhou Zhou, have you forgiven me?" Seeing Zhou Zhou's frown, Zeus asked cautiously.
Zhou Zhou raised his eyebrows and happened to see the book in Zeus's hand. There were a few lines of small words below the title.
"The Interstellar Age, also known as the Age of Zeus."
"He has broken through new barriers in holographic technology and is the most advanced developer in Nightmare City."
Zhou Zhou's attention was attracted by these words, and he suddenly thought of a question. Zeus is artificial intelligence, which means he is also a collection of data. So can he leave here and go to the outside world?
If it is possible, then can he do it too?
Zhou Zhou suddenly felt a little nervous.
The author has something to say:
