105 Looking for Opportunities
◎Things that only we can understand◎
The chip was very small and crystal blue in color.
Qi Qiuxue put it away properly, stared at the corpse on the ground in silence for a few seconds, and finally stood up slowly.
There were indeed some gains tonight, but not much. Qi Qiuxue had thought there would be other clues here, but after observing along the way, the facts made her feel disappointed.
It seems that if we want to get more information, we have to find a way to sneak into the area where the decision makers are.
"What should we do now?" Wu Shanyue asked softly, covering his churning stomach.
"Let's go back first." Qi Qiuxue thought for a moment, then said, "I'll go to the bar tomorrow to find Liu Ge and ask her to help me get something."
"Okay." Wu Shanyue nodded, and the three of them lowered their hats even lower, and left the place lightly and quickly.
The night passed quickly.
Early the next morning, Qi Qiuxue caught Liu Ge before she went to work.
There were few people on the bar street in the early morning, and the alleys were even quieter. The town exploration ended here. Qi Qiuxue now had other goals and should not waste time looking for food.
In the new world, it is stipulated that new humans are not allowed to trade with old humans, whether buying, selling or giving gifts, but this rule does not apply to Liu Ge. The hypnotic potion deceived her brain, making her believe that she and Qi Qiuxue had never had any intersection. The chip could not monitor her thoughts in this regard, so the punishment naturally could not be carried out.
"What do you need me to do?" Liu Ge asked obediently.
Qi Qiuxue didn't hesitate to answer her. "I need you to prepare some food, water, a laptop, and a chip reader for me."
"Can you do that?" she asked.
"Of course I can, but I need to give myself more time," Liu Ge said. "I can't leave my post at will, or I'll be punished."
"There's always a lot of unsold food and drinks in the bar every day. According to the rules of the New World, all food provided to customers by all shops must be absolutely fresh, so the leftovers from last night will definitely be thrown away. I can reserve some for you in advance."
"As for the computer and chip reader, I'll need to buy them after get off work."
"Okay." Qi Qiuxue nodded in response, "Do you have enough money on you?"
"Yes." Liu Ge said.
"To be on the safe side, remember to pay in cash."
"good."
"Go ahead." Out of consideration for Liu Ge's safety, Qi Qiuxue didn't keep her away for too long. "Once you've gathered everything, come find me in the alley. I'll be waiting for you here."
"I understand." After saying that, Liu Ge quickly left the place.
“…”
evening.
Qi Qiuxue arrived at the alley early before Liu Ge got off work and waited quietly.
Liu Ge was very efficient and soon she appeared at the other end of the alley. Qi Qiuxue walked straight towards her, brushed past her when she reached her, and took the thing in her hand.
Neither of them spoke as they parted ways. Qi Qiuxue packed all the things into her sack and quickly returned to the old world.
There was no other activity tonight, so there was no need for too many people to come. Qi Qiuxue told everyone not to wait for her to eat, and did not let anyone follow her.
But when she reached the junction of the old and new worlds, she looked up and saw two figures, one big and one small, standing quietly waiting. When they saw her coming, a smile immediately appeared on their faces, and they jumped forward excitedly, following her on the left and right.
Li Yiqing said, "Axue, you're back. You've worked hard. Can I help you get your things?"
Qingqing also said: "Axue, are you tired? I will give you a shoulder massage tonight."
When it comes to clinginess, the two are practically on par. Upon hearing this, Qi Qiuxue slowly raised the corners of her lips and said, "It's not that exaggerated."
She had a hunch that Li Yiqing and Qingqing had become much closer. "When did you come?"
"Not long." Li Yiqing shook his head and asked with concern, "Did you encounter any danger on the way back?"
"No." Qi Qiuxue said, "Liu Ge successfully got what I wanted. When I get back, I can connect the chip to the computer and read the data inside."
"Transfer your props to me." She glanced at Li Yiqing and asked softly for his opinion, "Professional potion."
"Okay." Li Yiqing nodded. The "professional potion" that Qi Qiuxue mentioned was the item she obtained in the previous copy. After using it, one can temporarily obtain a certain skill, which is convenient for assisting players to perform more professional operations and master the knowledge in a certain field in a short period of time. It is also a disposable item and will be destroyed after use.
Qi Qiuxue hopes to analyze the operating principles and related programs of this chip, and even find a way to destroy it. As long as the progress goes smoothly, the task will be completed in no time.
"It will be soon." She took a deep breath and subconsciously touched Qingqing's head. "One day everything will be over. By then everyone will be free and live a truly happy life."
Qingqing felt the warmth of her palm: "Yeah."
Li Yiqing silently glanced at Qingqing when Qi Qiuxue didn't notice.
As if sensing her gaze, Qingqing met her eyes in the next second, quietly conveying something in her heart that only the two of them could understand.
After a moment, Qingqing smiled and said sincerely, "I really hope that day will come."
Li Yiqing withdrew his gaze and agreed with her in a light tone: "Yes."
“…”
After returning to the room, Qi Qiuxue didn't have time to eat and connected the chip to the computer first.
Fortunately, even though the host has died, the content contained in the chip is still there. With the help of props, the originally complicated codes and programs become simple and easy to understand.
Monitoring procedures, punishment instructions, the host's vital signs, violation records...
Qi Qiuxue screened through the code string by string, and finally found what she was looking for: [Chip self-destruct program.]
She tried to run the program. The progress bar started slowly as she watched, then stopped when it was about to reach 90%.
Reason: Lack of data support.
A series of codes, text and numbers popped up afterwards. Qi Qiuxue extracted the key information from them. If she wanted to find all the data, a small chip alone was not enough, she needed the source code.
In other words, she also needs to get the master copy of the chip, the first chip produced by the developer, numbered [xx120927xxxxx].
According to the rules, the first eight digits are the production date of the chip. Qi Qiuxue frowned when she saw this. The production date of the master copy was actually twelve years ago, and these decision makers had only controlled this town for more than four hundred days.
Did they conduct other experiments before using the residents of the town of Eglit as experimental subjects?
The more Qi Qiuxue thought about it, the more horrified she felt. If this was true, how many similar experiments were there? Were they still ongoing, or had they already concluded? What was the current situation of those experimenters? Were they alive or dead?
A few days ago, Qi Qiuxue tried to find a way to leave Aiglit, but the answer was no. The town was surrounded by towering walls, making it almost impossible to get out.
Even if she was lucky enough to find a place overlooking the metal fence outside the town, it would be impossible to pass the message out. Qi Qiuxue threw a stone out, but the stone passed through the wall and was bounced back by the air wall outside whose shape could not be seen clearly.
That is to say, in this copy, the game map only includes the town of Eglit, and other areas cannot be expanded.
In this case, the prototype of the chip must be hidden in this town.
Will it be the subordinates of those decision makers?
Qi Qiuxue pulled out the chip and put it away, then turned off the computer, closed her eyes and began to think silently.
——We have to find an opportunity to verify it.
