Chapter 71

Chapter 71

Yu Tang sat on the sofa.

He watched the mecha model take a few steps back and forth, stretched its legs on the sofa, bent its waist, and stretched its metal arms flexibly twice.

The mecha jumped onto the pile of pillows and sat down cross-legged calmly: "Mr. Yu?"

Yu Tang was a little shocked: "..."

This was the first time he had heard of such an emergency plan.

This is also the first time I know that the mall actually has such a simple and crude promotion that directly gives away game consoles.

"It's a commemorative promotion for the mall, held once every ten high-dimensional years."

The mecha seemed to know what he was thinking: "You can rest assured that there is no need to purchase cards, unlock, or any additional consumption items."

The replacement system from the mall is very professional: "The game card is built-in. If you have any new games that you are interested in, you can also download them online."

Yu Tang finally felt relieved and nodded: "Thank you..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a "boom".

In front of him, a luxurious top-notch game console with the latest holographic projection screen, the latest VR glasses, and the latest virtual reality sleeping cabin has fallen.

The authenticity was too much, and the whole sea of consciousness was shaken.

Shi Ji noticed something strange outside: "Mr. Yu?"

Yu Tang: "...It's okay, I just won a promotional prize."

Shi Ji was taken to the night market by the captain and participated in the promotional lottery at the entrance of the mall. He nodded with confidence: "Oh."

Yu Tang recovered his mind and looked at the game console in front of him.

...Except for the enduring trademark of the game console manufacturer, there is nothing remotely related to "classic" on this game console.

Yu Tang always felt that this was a new model of phone shopping scam.

Although there is no need to apply for a card or unlock it, you may need to purchase a membership.

When he opens the screen, he will be asked to choose between annual membership, quarterly membership or automatic monthly subscription.

Even if you sign up for a membership, the projection screen, VR glasses, and virtual reality sleeping cabin client are not all the same. If you want to upgrade your membership, you have to pay three times the price.

Yu Tang has often fallen into the sinister traps of human beings recently. He specially got Pu Ying's anti-fraud textbook to make up for his lessons. He was still a little wary: "That's it, I'm not very interested in the new games now..."

“This game console retains the classic socket and classic game card slot, which can fully connect to old-fashioned game cards and provide an immersive new VR experience.”

The mecha jumped up to the screen and explained kindly: "It can still use the old-fashioned controller, and you can also choose the color."

The mecha asked: "Do you want to try a game?"

Yu Tang stopped looking for the return form.

He had already made up his mind not to fall into the ever-changing money-stealing traps of these merchants, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but pause.

Yu Tang asked: "Can any old-fashioned game cartridge be inserted?"

The mecha nodded humanely: "Everything is fine."

"If your game card is damaged, as long as the core area of the memory card is not completely damaged, it can also extract the internal data and automatically repair it."

The mecha's headlight lit up and projected an advertising video to him: "In many interstellar worlds with more advanced technology, this game console is very popular, and it is easy to use for all ages..."

Yu Tang returned to the sofa.

He looked carefully at the classic game card slot: "Does it have a controller?"

Yu Tang said: "I want a red and black color scheme, something cooler."

Mecha: "Yes, please wait a moment."

Yu Tang nodded.

He put away the anti-fraud teaching materials, once again jumped into the trap of consumerism with unknown purposes, and dug out a particularly old game cartridge from the warehouse.

It's been too long, and the game name can't be seen clearly, and the colorful stickers on it have long faded into gray and white outlines.

The original yellow plastic shell was broken several times, but it was still intact, and was stuck together with tape.

"Just insert the card." The mecha gave him the cool red and black handle. "Don't worry, we don't need to register any members."

Yu Tang inserted the game cartridge and said, "You can also become a member."

If you can still play this game, you can become a member.

...After all, two years ago, the old second-hand PSP game console could no longer read the cassette, and he was so bored that he had to rely on programming and making skill cards to pass the time.

Yu Tang held his breath and carefully adjusted the contact angle between the cassette and the socket. He suddenly understood the sinister intentions of these merchants: "Sentimentalism, obviously you can make replicas, remasters, and high-definition versions, but no, it just wants players to squat.Insert the cassette on the floor..."

The mecha didn't hear clearly: "Mr. Yu?"

Yu Tang adjusted the angle, and the cassette that was originally connected was finally successfully read, and the green light flashed.

The screen lit up, and the images and music from the beginning of the game popped up.

…

Yu Tang stood up and was about to return to the sofa when he suddenly shook heavily involuntarily.

Yu Tang stopped and asked, "Shi Ji?"

"It's okay." Shi Ji's voice came back mixed with the sound of the explosion, "Mr. Yu, please take some motion sickness medicine..."

"It must have been an ambush." The mecha said, "I detected radiation from depleted uranium materials."

Yu Tang looked at the light screen next to him.

The drop location has been carefully calculated. It would take more than 12 hours at the fastest for trainees to find their own mechas and wingmen.

Although the battlefield is open, the losers can enter at any time in principle, but even those who are a little arrogant will not choose to enter at this time.

None of the active military districts had any mechas on the battlefield. What Shi Ji encountered was a military student. He probably took a fancy to the lone trainee and wanted to seize this rare opportunity.

The mecha said, "I'll go out and take a look."

Yu Tang and Shi Ji have agreed that they will not help except to help block the anti-OOC program.He didn't want to interfere with Shi Ji's drills by any means, so he looked at the light screen and stopped him casually: "Wait a minute..."

The mecha stopped and turned back.

Yu Tang lowered his head and looked at the small mecha model, which was only about the size of a palm and a half: "..."

He didn't seem to be able to interfere with Shi Ji's exercises by any means.

Yu Tang took the water glass and swallowed a motion sickness pill: "...be careful."

Mecha: "Okay."

Inexplicably, Yu Tang always felt that this mechanical sound was particularly humane.

For example, at this time, although the mecha has no expression, the mechanical voice seems to have a subtle smile that is difficult to detect.

"It'll be okay." Mecha said, "You can play games with confidence."

The mecha said: "I will monitor the anti-OOC system at any time and report to Mr. Yu if there are any changes."

Yu Tang nodded.

Although the corresponding effect between the body and the sea of consciousness has been weakened to the maximum extent, Shi Ji is still having some unavoidable effects when he is moving around outside.

Yu Tang walked back step by step in the sea of swaying consciousness, sat back on the sofa, and took the cool red and black handle.

The mecha turned into a data stream and temporarily left the sea of consciousness.

Yu Tang sat on the sofa that looked like a pirate ship and opened the game homepage.

According to the unknown shopping mall agent system, the game console in front of him was a prize from Chuan Bookstore’s commemorative promotion event every ten high-dimensional years.

Yu Tang had read in the employee handbook that the "high-dimensional years" mentioned by the substitute system refer to the real flow rate of time in the higher dimension where Chuan Bookstore is located.

Normally, when a regular employee joins the role, the time flow rate will be automatically adjusted to be consistent with the high dimension where the bookstore is located - in other words, he is responsible for four books in this world at the same time, and the longest one is responsible for it.Five years have passed, and five years have passed since I passed through the bookstore.

But if you complete the task well enough and accumulate enough experience points, you will have the opportunity to exchange for the opportunity to adjust the time dimension.

Yu Tang roughly heard from the system that depending on the adjustment method, different experience points are required.

If you want to compress time, for example, ten years have passed in the timeline in the book, but if you want to compress it to three years after returning to Chuan Bookstore, it will probably require as many experience points as a company.

If an employee successfully owns a company and chooses to exchange, an unexpected storm will occur at the headquarters and the company will be liquidated.

If you want to stop time, no matter how much time has passed in the book, you will just sleep in the sleeping cabin after returning to Chuan Bookstore, which requires as many experience points as a consortium.

If you want to turn back time, you need to resell as many experience points as an asteroid.

…

Yu Tang is responsible for four books at the same time, and is still far from withdrawing from the world. There is no need to understand these for the time being, and he only briefly followed the introduction of the system.

He couldn't hold back, he opened a lollipop in the intro music of the game, and played with the shiny tenth anniversary badge for a while.

The game's screen has been reprocessed and clearly projected by holographic projection.

Shi Ji noticed the changes in the sea of consciousness. He dodged an armor-piercing bullet sideways and discussed with Yu Tang: "Mr. Yu, I seem to have played this game before..."

Yu Tang nodded: "You have played the real version."

Shi Ji: "?"

"Dolphins catch small fish." Yu Tang said, "Happy fish pond."

Shi Ji: "..."

Yu Tang was surrounded by holographic projections and controlled the little man sitting on the back of the dolphin to swing the fishing hook.

Just like a miner who loves digging for gold, this is a very simple and easy-to-understand puzzle game that can be played in three seconds and is both educational and entertaining.

The whole gameplay is to fish for points.

The little man sitting on the dolphin has a fishing rod. The fishing hook swings at a constant speed. After determining the direction and pressing the handle, the fishing hook will pop up in a straight line and catch the fish passing by on this line.

The rarer the fish you catch, the higher the points you get. If you happen to hook a clam with a pearl, your points can be directly increased by two zeros.

If you catch a crab, your hands will be pinched; if you catch a squid, you will get ink sprayed on your face.If you catch a heavy fish, if you don't have enough physical strength, you may drag the villain into the sea.

Once you accumulate one billion points, you can enter the hidden level. It is said that there is a sunken ship in the hidden level, and there is a treasure box inside, which contains the final reward of the game.

Yu Tang was so addicted to this game that he played it all night while holding that person's light screen.

"It's a pity that my micro management skills at that time were average."

Yu Tang said: "He made a button for me. Every time I see a fish swimming over, I quickly press it and the hook has been thrown over."

Shi Ji didn't quite understand this distress, but he still worked hard to cooperate: "It's because the difficulty of the game is relatively high."

Yu Tang was very pleased and nodded. The squid he had just caught sprayed ink on his face.

…

When he was still a ball of light, Yu Tang's gaming talent was not that strong.

But the addiction is huge.

He resisted the temptation of food and only came secretly to get biscuits and milk every day, and would leave immediately after taking them.I also resisted the temptation to watch movies. I just hid outside the curtains every day, secretly watching with that person through the cracks, and ran away as soon as I saw the ending song.

But the game was so fun. By the time he reacted, he was already wrapped in a small blanket, eating cookies and drinking milk, and had been playing among the pillows for several hours.

On the screen of the old game console, the fish were not optimized to be as high-definition as they were just motionless cartoons.

At that time, he didn't quite understand the human concept of "game". He thought that if he caught something, he really caught it. With his game record in mind, he would go to the person under the desk lamp to ask for his fish.

The man was stunned for a long time, laughing so hard that he couldn't sit still and had to raise his hand to hold the edge of the table.

Under the desk lamp, he found that the man's face was much paler than usual, and there was cold sweat on his forehead.

"Wait a minute, I'll draw a fish for you."

The man's expression was still very gentle, with the same smile as usual in his eyes: "I need to resist a set of programs first, it is trying to control me... I need a little time."

He threw down the game console and wanted to help the man.

He doesn't understand the "program" either, but given enough time, the electronic storm is capable of breaking down and engulfing anything.

"This won't work. The program has no entity. It is a set of data."

The man patiently explained: "You have no way to solve it yet."

The man said: "In the future, if you read a lot of books, maybe you can help me."

He followed the light of the desk lamp and floated to the edge of the bookshelf.

"These books are not enough." The man said, "This is the most sophisticated technology at the current scientific level and requires a huge amount of relevant knowledge."

The man leaned back in the chair, his face pale from the pain, but his handsome features remained unmoved and calm.

The man slowed down his strength several times and finally sat up. He smiled and encouraged him seriously: "Come on, learn a few more words. Maybe after you evolve, you will become an elite programmer who specializes in cracking this kind of problem."Bad things that harm people..."

…

Yu Tang didn't think any more. He put down the game controller and looked up at the screen.

Even when facing mechas, Shi Ji was not at a disadvantage.

The person opposite was just a military student, and he was not very proficient in operating mechas.The majestic humanoid mecha does have considerable combat power, but its mobility and flexibility are also severely weakened because its body is too large and heavy.

——Especially in this complex jungle terrain where there are trees and rocks everywhere, and there are occasionally swamps hidden under the meadows. It is impossible to fly and walk unsteadily.

The arena provided by the military academy will not provide such a realistic and changeable on-site experience.

The huge mecha entered the battle rashly, and except for seizing the opportunity at the beginning and shaking Shi Ji when it was hit by a cannon, it couldn't take advantage of it at all.

Shi Ji calmly took it for a spin in the woods.

All the roads he had just walked were firmly remembered in Shi Ji's mind.He hardly needed to think twice to determine which tree could block the mecha's huge body, and which branch could use the mecha's own speed to directly cut off half of its arm.

No matter how high-end or sophisticated a weapon is, it can only be regarded as a powerful tool.

Shi Ji grabbed the branch, and his body steadily passed over the thick branch. After landing, he rolled over and hid sideways behind the bushes.

The heavy mecha couldn't hold back its momentum, and with a loud bang it hit the giant tree where several people were hugging each other.

…

The early warning red line of anti-OOC programs suddenly lit up.

In the sea of consciousness, the substitute system reminded almost at the same time: "Mr. Yu."

"I saw it." Yu Tang said.

He bit the lollipop, sat up straight, pulled the keyboard and tapped quickly, and the intercepted data network spread out overwhelmingly.

This time, Yu Tang didn't just block the program's warning.

As soon as the network of data came into contact with the newly generated unfamiliar data, it immediately recorded the path intact.Specially processed virus programs that are ready to go out quietly sneak into the data flow, and along this path, are encoded into the intercepted anti-OOC programs.

A few days ago, Yu Tang downloaded thousands of computer viruses from the mall, imported them into the sea of consciousness, and ran them all.

He will no longer be affected, but to be on the safe side, he still did not notify Senior Zhan and the system in advance.

After completing the operation analysis and completely eliminating these viruses, Yu Tang was once worried that he had not completely killed the viruses, and even left behind a one-click cleaning app that was designed to fold quilts into tofu blocks.

But it finally paid off.

This is a brand new virus created by Yu Tang.

This virus is only effective against man-made programs and will not have any impact on the human body. Its trigger node is at the moment when the logical closed loop is formed and locked.

Once the logic closed loop is locked, the anti-OOC system will automatically close for half a minute and reorganize the program.

Within this half minute, the viruses lurking in the data will be triggered, forming a miniature data storm that will completely eliminate and devour these harmful bad things.

"I'll fix it."

Yu Tang: "I read a lot of books and can solve it."

Shi Ji could tell that Yu Tang was not talking to him. He collected the useful things from the mecha wreckage, put them into his backpack, and said softly: "Mr. Yu."

Yu Tang bit into pieces of the lollipop, chewed it into powder, swallowed it, and closed the computer.

Yu Tang: "Don't worry, it won't hurt anymore."
