Lu Yunxi couldn't stand the life of having to get up at 5:30 every day to train, and tried to resist.
"Oh no! I can't hold it anymore! I need to go to the toilet!"
"It's almost noon! I have to go help Mom cook!"
"Dad, you don't have to keep watching me. I can train well on my own! Don't you have anything else to do? Don't you have to go hunting?"
"Mom, I want to learn embroidery! Embroidery is so fun!"
"I want to eat meat. Dad, can you go get some meat for me? Mom is not in good health and needs some meat to replenish her health!"
“…”
Lu Yunxi tried her best and found all kinds of excuses, but her parents remained unmoved.
She really doubted that even if the sky fell and the earth broke, they would still let her train as usual.
They are like a programmed machine, meticulously executing the set plan, such as what to do at a certain age and time.
That night, she felt so suffocated that she secretly ran out to get some fresh air.
The Lu family's house is at the end of the village, with a mountain on one side and their neighbors, the Li family, on the other.
When relaxing in the village, one must pass by the Li family.
Every time I passed by during the day, Grandma Li and Li Daya were always standing at the door, but now that night has fallen, they are still standing at the door!
Grandma Li is old, and Daya is the same age as her. They are one old and one young, standing stupidly at the door all day long. Aren’t they tired?
Lu Yunxi, who was originally going to the center of the village, stopped and turned to walk towards the door of the Li family.
"Grandma Li, Daya, have you had dinner?" She greeted them with a smile.
Grandma Li smiled kindly and said, "The clothes we washed yesterday are not dry yet. Let's put them away tomorrow!"
Daya responded: "The game is really fun!"
Lu Yunxi twitched his eyes.
Every time she passed by here and asked them questions, they would always reply with these two sentences. No matter what they said, they would just keep repeating the same two sentences like robots.
I thought they would talk about something different in the evening, but who knew it would still be these two sentences!
She felt a little discouraged for a moment, and lazily walked around the village before going home.
But after going around, she also discovered some interesting things.
The behavior of the villagers is fixed, such as the farmers who go out to farm every day, and Grandma Li who stands at the door every day.
The farmer would go home to eat and sleep at night, but the people standing at the door would not... Of course, she couldn't be sure. What if they went back to sleep when she was late at night?!
However, Lu Yunxi was increasingly confused about what was happening around him! She might say the villagers were robots, but she had also touched the hands of her parents and friends. No matter how she looked at it, the villagers were just ordinary humans, right?!

Capital Star, the first game company, testing department.
When the game cabin opened and the tester came out, he was still a little confused.
"How is it? Do you feel okay after entering?" The recorder looked serious.
"Of course, I can, but I find it... not very interesting." He was putting it mildly. What do you mean by not very interesting? It's just boring, okay?!
The recorder immediately picked up his pen and asked, "What's so boring about it?"
"In many ways!" The tester tried to recall the situation in the game. "The people in the game are so fake! Aside from the most important NPCs, everyone else says the same thing. Some people even stay up late at night and stand stupidly at the door. I almost scared myself to death! And I was in there for a whole month, and the sky was clear every day. Even the wind direction was the same every day! And..."
When it comes to what's boring about the game, it can be said that everything is boring.
As a game tester, he has played hundreds, if not thousands, of games.
To be honest, if this game didn't focus on the real life of ancient people, it would still be a little attractive. Otherwise, it really has no competitiveness at all!
The recorder frantically recorded: "NPC activity routes are fixed, lack of intelligence, and the interaction is a bit boring; the weather system is not built..."
That afternoon, in the conference room.
The recorder lists all the changes suggested by the testing department.
The president sat at the top, and the department managers sat below, all with serious expressions.
"Leave the weather system to our department!" As soon as the recorder finished speaking, the R&D manager immediately spoke up and took over the simplest task.
Anyway, even if he doesn't ask, the president will assign the work to him later, so it's better to do an easy job himself!
The president crossed his arms. "The weather system is simple, so let's leave it to the R&D department. The planning department should find a way to make the NPCs more realistic! Every NPC must look like a real person!"
He tapped his index finger lightly on the table. "Don't forget, our game is all about authenticity! Everyone must have their own personality, unique characteristics, and past experiences! For example, with so many newbie villages in the game, the head of each village must have a different personality! If everyone had the same personality, where would the fun be in this game?!"
The manager of the planning department smiled and nodded repeatedly, but he was complaining in his heart.
This is too difficult! There are several continents in the entire game, and each continent has tens of millions of NPCs. Their planning department only has a few people. How can they possibly design a complete identity for each NPC?!
His eyes rolled, and suddenly an idea came to him, and he stared at the R&D manager next to him.
That night.
The planning department manager spent a lot of money and treated the R&D department manager to a rare meal in a three-star hotel.
A month later, the R&D department's weather system was not yet completed, so they created a random system first.
"A large number of random personalities, characteristics, behavior patterns, past experiences, etc. are input into the random system. There will never be a situation where any two NPCs have exactly the same personality or experience! There are a large number of NPCs in the game. Except for the important NPCs who need to be designed by us personally, other ordinary NPCs can use this system and it is completely logically self-consistent! Once a bug appears, they will correct the wrong thing themselves!" The R&D manager spoke eloquently on the stage.
The planning manager secretly admired it. Now their planning department has a lot less work to do! It seems his treat was not in vain!
Just when he was secretly happy, the R&D manager finally finished speaking.
The president nodded. "Let's install the randomization system now. I'll have the testing department test it later to see if the people in the game are the same as real people. If there are no problems, then..."
Just when everyone was holding the morning meeting seriously.
Game intelligent computer control room.
The ball of light suspended in the middle suddenly flashed, and returned to normal after a few seconds.
However, the employee responsible for monitoring the intelligent brain happened to yawn and missed this slight abnormality.
