Cheng Zhu didn't really care about the virus. In her mind, the virus was just a strange thing with a localized name.
What she was more curious about was the information about the Chosen Ones. After all, this was probably the first time Future Star had heard the words "Chosen Ones" from the natives in the instance. Even with differences in translation, there was no doubt that "challengers chosen by heaven" referred to the Chosen Ones.
These indigenous people actually knew about the Chosen Ones?
Just as Cheng Zhu was about to listen intently to the drama unfold, Alice abruptly shifted the topic to the "harm of the virus," leaving Cheng Zhu rubbing his ears in frustration, too embarrassed to say anything more.
Alice is definitely not the chosen one, since there is only one chosen one per instance.
If something unexpected had happened, Cheng Zhu would have received a notification from the Kyushu Kingdom's think tank long ago. However, Kyushu Kingdom has not given any notification so far. This is partly because Cheng Zhu himself has not sought help from the official authorities, and partly because the progress of the instance has not been significantly abnormal.
Cheng Zhu dared not speak, for she truly was the chosen one.
Based on Alice's statement, it is not much different from Cheng Zhu's previous judgment: the Chosen Ones appeared before the Smart City, which means that the Chosen Ones before the Smart City successfully survived until the time when the unspeakable was resolved. After that, the human order was destroyed by the strange rules, so the Smart City was rebuilt with the help of artificial intelligence. At this time, Cheng Zhu did not know that the dungeon was a death replay and was still optimistic about the future of this world.
Therefore, Cheng Zhu suspects that artificial intelligence is the key to Weisi Star's victory over the Unspeakable.
Actually, she was overthinking it.
While Cheng Zhu wasn't concerned about Alice's next question, Mary was very concerned, as the virus directly impacted the normal lives of native inhabitants like herself. Even with five chances to resurrect, who would want to live in such a bizarre world?
Why is this virus so virulent this time?
Mary is an excellent straight man.
"If you want to know, why don't you hurry up and eat? We can talk about it in detail when we get back to the dorm. Who talks about this in public? It's too unappetizing." Alice picked up her milk tea again and slowly sipped it.
Actually, she hadn't figured out how to continue the story yet, so she just wanted to fool Mary for now.
Because the three of them had ulterior motives, no one spoke in the second half of the meal. They all quickly finished their own portions and ended the lunch.
As soon as Alice entered the dormitory, Mary leaned against the wall, blocking her way: "Can you talk now?"
"Wait a minute." Alice pushed Mary aside, and after confirming that there was nothing strange happening in the dormitory, she pulled the two of them into her own dormitory and sent them invitations to her study space.
As the scene before them changed, and they confirmed that they had entered the learning system, Alice gestured for them to sit down: "Come, sit here."
With her right arm supporting her chin, Alice's eyes swept over the two of them: "Let's go one by one? First of all..." "Although it looks cool, it can easily lead to facial deformities and affect spinal health in the long run..." Cheng Zhu subconsciously began to recite the words of the orphanage teacher correcting the children's wrong sitting posture, but was glared at fiercely by Alice and quickly swallowed the rest of his words.
Alice pinched her brow, feeling her blood pressure rise, and straightened her back to look at Mary: "Let's talk about the virus first. In fact, the virus has accumulated enough power; this is its final attack, and also the end of Smart City."
"The end of the world?" Mary was taken aback. "Has artificial intelligence completely collapsed?"
Cheng Zhu immediately objected to her question: "Impossible. If artificial intelligence is no longer useful, the learning system is also dangerous. But so far, this is the safest place."
Alice nodded: "That's right. The learning system is special; it doesn't need to save data, so it's not a target for the virus. Although the artificial intelligence hasn't been completely contaminated by the virus yet, I don't recommend that you trust it or have too much interaction with it. Otherwise... I think you probably don't want to experience how terrible it would be if you were misunderstood by the artificial intelligence."
Seeing that the two of them were deep in thought, Alice turned to Cheng Zhu and said, "Next is the question Christine wants to know. But before I do, let me ask you both: have you ever played war games?"
"I've played it."
When Cheng Zhu first entered the instance, he was immediately drawn to the game world and played for an hour, almost becoming addicted.
"What should you do if your spawn point is surrounded by enemy forces?" Alice tilted her head and smiled at Cheng Zhu, hoping she would give an interesting answer.
"Then... let them carry you out, it'll be better for the next round."
Cheng Zhu was very sincere.
If playing a game really gets to that point, there's no point in continuing; but if this happened in real life, the answer would be different.
Of course, Alice didn't ask, and Chengzhu didn't say.
This question was merely a pretext for Alice to bring up the topic, and even Alice herself didn't give a standard answer. After all, reality is ever-changing, and there aren't that many standard answers: "The current situation in Smart City is similar to the situation where the spawn point is being garrisoned by enemy forces. The virus will contaminate the mental state of every [reborn] citizen. Therefore, if we want to escape this situation, we must find a way to break through the encirclement and leave Smart City."
"So we're going to leave the city?" Mary was completely lost on the topic.
Cheng Zhu understood, after all, many details had already told her that there was something wrong with the smart city: "Yes and no. If I'm not mistaken, we're all in a virtual world, right?"
