Cultivate a black technology god

Chapter 190 Robert enters the game dreamland

From the way she spoke, Lisa guessed that Harper had written the game.

"It's not much different from the games you make up," Ariel said.

"No, in our game, the way to kill people is not by cutting, burning, stabbing or shooting," Lisa explained hastily,

"We never use the faces of real people in real life as characters in the game."

There was a spasm on Ariel's face, and a secretive smile flashed across her face.

"In The Walking Dead, the zombies were stabbed to death with a sword, or hacked to death with a knife," she said.

"However, that's all illusory," Robert said.

"It's the same." Ariel defended her father's creation.

She turned, walked to the back shelf, and pulled out a set of "Sneaky Walks."

Then, passing Robert and the others without a word, they returned to the outside room.

"I have a hunch that we will be safer in Ques." Robert said to himself and followed Ariel out.

They were in the outside room, sitting around a round table.

In the center of the table sits a copy of The Secret Walk.

"Do you think you should go to the game and check it out yourself?" Harper said slowly, pushing the plastic box in front of them with his delicate fingers, turning it over,
"You should play it from beginning to end and check for errors in the program."

"There's nothing wrong with that," Lisa said without hesitation.

"However, there is indeed a problem, don't you admit it?"

Robert and the others nodded.

"Besides, if you get into the game," Harper continued,
"Don't you really appreciate the adventure you're taking?"

Robert laughed, "We think this game is better than any game.

It is made by us, it is our world. "

Harper's smile was cold and serious:
"We assume that for a period of time, your game programming was correct.

So why then did that game put gamers into a virtual reality coma? "

He looked at Robert, then at Lisa, and then, without waiting for an answer, went on,

"Because it is no longer the kind of game you developed at that time. Someone is harming it and tampering with it."

"A virus." Robert speculated in a low voice.

Alan Harper nodded:

"Probably."

"So, if we get into the game,"

Lisa said slowly and softly:

"Those same viruses will attack us."

"Yes." Harper agreed with her speculation,

"However, you have an advantage over gamers who are infected by the virus:
You are the creators of the game, you understand its mysteries thoroughly, and you may even have a chance to kill this virus when the game is not right. "

"I don't like the word 'maybe'." Robert said seriously,

"What will happen if we are no match for the virus and are infected by the virus?"

"Then, you will also fall into a coma." The short fat man answered bluntly.

Lisa reached out, took the box, and looked at the three-dimensional image:

The ruins of the ruined castle were mysterious and bright under the light of the full moon, with many small bats walking across the moon.

She looked up at Harper, and asked:
"Is there any other choice we can make?"

Harper spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and replied:

"Of course, that's up to you. You don't have to take the risk.

But if you don't cleanse yourselves, you'll end up in jail, in jail, or, like me, a fugitive vagabond. "

Lisa turned to look at Robert.

Before she had time to ask him, she had already predicted what answer he would give from his eyes.

"We have no other choice!" Robert replied decisively.

Sitting in the long and narrow room, Alan Harper ordered a video camera to monitor Robert's room. He sat in front of the flat-screen video screen, typing his fingers quickly on the old-fashioned keyboard.

Robert and the others fell asleep. The room was round and had a low ceiling.

They lay on the narrow metal bed, and Ariel adjusted the sensors with her slender fingers, monitoring Robert's heart, breathing, and brain waveforms.

A series of data began to be divided into two groups, which fluctuated on the display screen at a dizzying speed.

"We'll analyze the data later."

Harper whispered to her, and he looked up at his daughter,

"what do you think?"

"I don't understand what's going on with that boy. But the girl's heart is beating very fast—very fast," Ariel whispered.
"I should have been able to beat her," she added shortly afterwards.

"I understand that," Harper replied hastily.He nodded towards the screen,

"However, the point is, let her win.

So need to bring them to this place.

Now we must earn their trust, even if temporarily.

Tomorrow, they will enter "Secret Walk", which is a virtual reality game world created by themselves.

I'm going to be monitoring their games here. ’ he paused a little, and then went on kindly,

"I know it's dangerous inside, but I still ask you to go in with them."

"Why?" Ariel was puzzled.

Her black eyes reflected the data scrolling on the screen, which recorded Robert's sleep.

She was surprised to find that Robert and Lisa had exactly the same data on the display.

"It's important to keep an eye on them and understand the situation. We have to learn everything from them, this is our chance, but we also have to protect them because we owe them so much."

Ariel turned around, shook her head and said:

"We don't owe them anything..." she said angrily.

Sergeant Lyons was about to leave the police patrol car when the cell phone rang.

His name and title flashed across the phone's video screen in bright yellow letters.

The yellow color indicates a personal call.

He hit the "accept" button.

The strange thing is that there is no movement, and the surface of the video screen is blurred, unable to show what this person looks like.

Just as he fiddled with a few control keys, a tiny voice sounded,

"Robert and the others of the Ocona family will enter the virtual reality game world of "Mysterious Walking" on time at noon tomorrow."

"I'm able to monitor the game here."

Alan Harper pointed to the screens on the four walls.

Ariel stood beside him, with her back to the screen, facing Robert and the others.

"If something abnormal is found, I will let you get out of the game at any time and bring you back."

"No," Lisa said quickly,

"What we're looking for are the anomalies.

You may never find out what's wrong with the game if you pull it out as soon as the problem arises. "

"Then it's up to you," Harper said.
"However, what should you do if you encounter unexpected misfortune?"

Robert raised his left arm, which was covered by a thin metal sleeve from wrist to elbow.

The sleeves are studded with small buttons that glitter.

“This is a microcomputer with the information we designed stored in it.

Before we get into the world of virtual reality, hook it up to your console.

If something goes wrong with this virtual reality game, it will be displayed here, and I can enter the program inside the game and change it at any time. "

"What a genius!" said Harper, gasping,

"It's obviously a big step forward in the process of making games, to be able to import programs from within."

"This is a technology I invented myself, a technology that even Zhixia Technology doesn't have." Robert said proudly.

Harper rolled his eyes around the metal sleeve until his daughter touched his arm,
"Tell them." Ariel said softly.

"Tell us what?" Lisa asked.

Harper smiled and said:
"Ariel will accompany you into that virtual reality world."

Robert and the others shook their heads almost simultaneously,
"This is too dangerous, too dangerous." Lisa said.

"You probably don't understand," Harper went on,
"My daughter started developing software at a very young age, and her knowledge of computer systems and viruses is as good as mine.

If she's with you, she'll help you identify game-breaking contagions. "

He took a short breath, and went on kindly,

"In addition, she has a very prominent advantage..."

Ariel turned around, put her hands behind her head, brushed up her long black hair, and a spike-shaped thing was exposed under her head.

"While I was working with your parents, I realized that the human brain is perfectly capable of processing the vast amounts of information generated by computers."

Harper stretched out his hand and touched the screen lightly,
"The problem is that the average person's eyes are overwhelmed by the amount of information that's being flooded on the screen so quickly. So, we devised a way to bypass the optic nerve.

Ariel can now actively receive information output from the computer, input it directly into her brain from the computer, and store and process it in her brain immediately.

In this way she was able to 'learn' in a split second what it would take the average person years to master. "

Ariel let down her jet-black hair and turned around.

"In fact, the human brain only uses a small percentage of its own capacity, which can be said to be negligible."

She whispered, "My father developed a program that allowed me to tap into more of my brain's potential.

Once this program is perfected, everyone can become a genius, and the sum of all the knowledge of the world can be input into the human brain in a few seconds. "

Harper nodded and further explained,

"A few years ago, I first succeeded in creating a 'human-computer' hybrid in the form of the virtual reality goggles and gloves you wear today."

He touched the back of Ariel's neck,
"This is the next step in research: being able to connect directly to a computer, making the human brain an integral part of the computer!"

Lisa nodded, still a little bit disbelieving,

"I understand that this has huge potential, but I don't understand how it can help us."

"Once Ariel is an integral part of the computer, once she enters the computer world, she will be as agile and as smart as the computer.

In that virtual reality world, she becomes a superman, becomes a god, and possesses the abilities possessed by a god. "

"But if you really have that much power," said Robert,
"Why can't the virus be eradicated now?"

"Because right now I can't tell which part is a useful game program and which part is corrupted by a virus.

The protection systems and anti-tamper codes you have devised keep me from getting close to the entirety of the game.

If you tell me these secrets, I can destroy the virus-damaged parts of the game in no time. "

Harper continued: "Now, you should understand why she wants to go with you."

Robert and Lisa glanced at each other and nodded in agreement.

In Harper's control room, Robert and the others lay on two long, narrow metal beds.

Ariel sat next to the console.

A thin red wire disappeared into the hair at the back of her neck.The images on the screen flashed non-stop, the speed was dizzying.

Although the girl's eyes were closed, she seemed to be following the work of the computer. As the screen image changed, she shook her head and kept busy.

Harper hands Robert their VR goggles, gloves and a vial of jelly.

They dipped their fingers into the vial and applied the jelly-like substance to their temples and fingertips, ensuring good contact between the skin and the virtual reality device.

Robert quietly took out a flat plug and inserted it into his metal sleeve, then pressed the "on" button.

In an instant, red light, green light, and white light flashed rapidly and continuously on the sleeves.

"Everything is ready."

As he spoke, he looked sideways at Lisa.

She nodded quickly.

Robert and the others put on tight-fitting gloves and fastened narrow goggles over their eyes.

Gray light flashed across their retinas, appearing and disappearing.

They could hear Harper's voice in the hideout,
"I'm here to watch you, and if you get into trouble and you can't get out of it, I'll do whatever I can to save you.

During the game, you can contact me and tell me what's going on, but you won't hear me, so it's all up to you. "

"We understand," Lisa replied.

"For now, you can still cancel this operation."

"If we don't do this, we will be wanted and hunted for life like criminals," Robert said.

"Then it's up to you." The computer keyboard "clicked" sounded,

"Now, I'm going to start the program system step by step."

Robert and the others watched closely, and as the flickering interfering lines disappeared, the world in front of them turned into a dull gray.Time passed by second by second, and above the head in the right corner of the wall, a miniature clock was ticking and jumping numbers, showing the time.

11: 59: 30
Harper's voice boomed in their ears, and at the last moment before the game began, they heard him say:
"I'll let you stay in the game for an hour, and then I will rescue you and pull you out."

11: 59: 45
"Wish you guys good luck!"

At exactly twelve o'clock, accompanied by Ariel, Robert and Lisa entered the realm of the "Secret Walk" virtual reality game.
