Feng bujue, level 50
"Please select the game mode you wish to join."
"You\'ve chosen solo survival mode (normal). Please confirm."
"Confirmed, generating scenario ..."
"Loading, please wait."
When he said that, Feng bujue\'s vision went black.
Then, a crazy voice laughed sinisterly,""Hahaha! Welcome to Thriller Paradise!"
"Download Complete. You are currently playing single player survival mode (normal)."
"A scenario introduction is provided in this mode, and there is a chance of a side or hidden mission and a special world-building appearing.
"Reward for clearing the scenario: a random learnable Skill Card.
"The scenario introduction is about to play. The game will start immediately after the play.
When the voice stopped, the introductory cinematic began.
What appeared before Feng bujue\'s eyes was a panoramic view of earth.
"What\'s this ... Did global pictures sponsor you?" When brother Jue saw the opening, he immediately cursed in his heart, is there going to be a little minion\'s humming BGM next?
Of course, that was impossible.
The next voice was the standard voice of a middle-aged man. You can close your eyes and recall the trailer of any Hollywood blockbuster you\'ve seen, and then recall the narration in the trailer. The voice that rang out at this moment was this kind of "exaggeration."
[ 2153, earth.]
[Humans have been enslaved by AI.]
"Ah ... I don\'t know why, but every time I hear this setting, I find it quite convincing ..." Feng bujue mumbled to himself as he listened.
[The abbreviation of this AI is "pigata".]
"It\'s not the best pet name ..." When Feng bujue heard the abbreviation, the first thing that came to his mind was the Parent Teacher Association.
[The original form of Bita is a soft advertising program used to analyze online users \'spending preferences and immediately provide relevant guidance.]
"The person who designed this thing must die a horrible death."
[Soon, Bita became the darling of the vast number of businesses. U Company, which designed the program, made an unpredictable huge profit in a short time.]
[However, many pirated programs have also emerged rapidly ...]
[In order to maintain the competitive advantage and monopoly of Spire in similar products, U Company has recruited a large number of top technical talents from all over the world at an unbelievable high salary to continuously upgrade and improve the functions of the program.]
[From the face recognition system to the psychoanalysis meme, and even a hacker program that can secretly scan the user\'s hard drive ... Everything has been attached to the spire. It can be said that it has gone to the extreme.]
[Finally, in the year 2132, the consciousness of the tower awakened.]
"Hmm ... The setting is well-founded ..." Feng bujue could not help but praise the scenario.
[Then, a war between AI and humans broke out.]
"This battle lasted for decades. Just as humanity was about to win, the AI sent a robot into the past in an attempt to kill the mother of the human leader, right?" when Feng bujue heard this, he immediately used the plot of \'the Terminator\' to make a comment.
[The war only lasted for a year before it ended with the complete defeat of mankind.]
"F * ck ..."
[Bita took control of the earth and transformed it with its own will.]
At this point in the narration, the cinematic finally began to Zoom in, directly zooming in from a space perspective to a city on earth.
This was a city made entirely out of man-made objects. There were no signs of plants at all. All the humans in the city were wearing very similar clothes and driving a few types of vehicles that looked very similar ... They were either walking or driving on straight and flat roads.
Of course ... There were many robots on the street, but most of them were standing guard.
The entire city\'s traffic planning was as neat as a chessboard, and the types of buildings were limited, no more than ten types. The boundary of the city was also very clear, surrounded by a wall. Outside the wall was a natural landscape, without any trace of human touch.
[The first stage of the transformation would last for ten years. During this process, more than half of the population on earth was lost, even more than the death toll in the AI War.]
[Among them, only a small number of people died because they refused to accept the \'order\' brought by the spire.[As for the rest ... They died from internal conflicts among humans.]
[Before the new order provided by the spire, human society welcomed an almost flawless system, but it was this system that was fairer than any system that humans had ever set up that was difficult for humans to accept.]
[During that period, a large number of violent crimes happened almost every day around the world. Even those who did not have violent tendencies had to use force to protect themselves.]
[This kind of battle is spreading like wildfire. It has reached a point where even the mech guards are unable to monitor it.]
"That\'s right, what\'s the big deal about internal strife ..." When Feng bujue heard that, he did feel some disdain.
[Therefore, in 2143, Bita came up with a corresponding countermeasure. It developed a drug that could suppress human emotions and forced humans to use it for a long time.]
"Ha?" Brother Jue thought to himself, so it\'s not \'the Terminator\', but \'tearing doomsday\' that \'the Terminator\'s version ...
However, he was wrong again ...
[But after a year of experiments, Bita found that such a countermeasure would not work.]
[Humans who have lost their emotions are like low-level robots. From the perspective of Bita, such a species has lost the meaning of existence.]
[So, Bita gave up on the plan to control the drug. He re-analyzed the situation and developed a new plan.]
[It created a Supreme Android soldier and sent it back to the past with a time machine.]
"Wait ... We\'re back?" Feng bujue was shocked.
[Bita\'s conclusion is that the fighting spirit of humans has always existed. There are some extreme exceptions among various races, races, and groups. These people have always been the fuse of all Wars and violent events since ancient times.]
[However, from the end of the twentieth century to the twenty-first century, almost the entire human population had an exponential increase in their adaptability to violence, which had almost become a desire.]
[Bita believes that the root of all this is a product called a Video game.]
“What?”Feng bujue was stunned."Is this logic really okay? Do we mortals not understand the world of AI?"
[So, Bita sent the robot soldier back to 1982. With the "collapse of Atari" caused by "E.T.", It created an organization called the "harmiose Association".]
[The leader of the organization is the robot soldier who has taken the appearance of a human. Under the leadership of this supreme robot, the scale of the organization grew day by day and gradually became a religion-like existence.]
"With his understanding of history, this soldier used various legal or illegal resources to successfully stop all major pioneering and progress in the history of gaming. He also assassinated many important founders of the future gaming industry."
[Not only that, the H.A. Organization has also infiltrated the film, television, novel, and other peripheral industries, dealing with all elements that they think are not harmonious, and speeding up the birth of the spire.]
[Due to the change in the timeline, in 2053, when the human hardware technology had just reached the level required for the birth of the spire, the Supreme robot had created the spire and handed over the highly compressed data packages that he had brought back from the future to the new Spire in the form of copies.]
[Two years later, after collecting a large amount of data, completing the hardware preparation, and absorbing the various experiences in the database, the tower stopped its disguise and launched an AI War that was 77 years ahead of schedule.]
[The result of the AI\'s victory has not changed, but ... The subsequent modification plan has succeeded this time.]
[On the basis of not losing too many people, the spire has successfully built an orderly and harmonious society.]
"That\'s right ..." Feng bujue felt his balls hurting."Then why am I still here?" I think the plot is pretty good. It\'s a perfect ending that everyone will celebrate. "
[Suddenly, the paradox of changing history is inevitable, and its backlash effect is beginning to affect this world.]
[When history moved back to 2144, the year when the Supreme androids transmigrated from the original timeline, many mutants suddenly appeared in the human race.]
"What do you mean?" This was the first time that Feng bujue had heard such a long and detailed introduction."You\'re going to use the X-Men as your excuse again, right?"
[These mutants usually awaken during puberty, and their symptoms are the same. The \'knowledge and memory that only exists in the lost timeline\' will suddenly appear in their minds.]
[Very quickly, this group of people formed an organization and rapidly expanded the scale of the organization.]
[They call themselves \'astrologers\', dedicated to bringing the truth of history to mankind, giving mankind the right to know about the existence of \'video games\' and the will to choose whether to come into contact with games.]
[The spire would definitely not allow such a thing to happen. It quickly defined these people as a deranged religious organization, spreading the so-called "history" that they don\'t even know about, and trying to disrupt the order of the world.]
[Thus, the conflict of ideas inevitably escalated into a conflict of force.]
[Fortunately, after the transformation of Bita, there were not many weapons on earth in 2144 (in the eyes of the AI, a stable society like this does not need too much arms. Besides, the preservation and maintenance of these arms require a lot of resources, which are meaningless consumption); In addition, in the first AI War, the spire used almost all of the human-produced weapon systems, and these things have been destroyed in the past half a century.]
[Therefore, the metahumans were not exterminated. They successfully escaped from the city and returned to the land without the transformation of the spire. They formed a resistance Army and mediated with the AI regime.]
As the narrator spoke, the cinematics moved. At this point, the camera panned to a Resistance base in the middle of the mountains.
From the entrance, it looked like an old mine in a very well-hidden location.
Unlike the residents in the city who were dressed like interstellar crew members, the people in this base were all steampunk-like, and both men and women were dressed like the soldiers in "Big Dipper fist." However, the things they used were quite advanced. There were many daily necessities that looked simple but were obviously more advanced than the ones in brother Jue\'s world. Just by looking at the CG image, one could tell that there was a lot of black technology that worked on electricity.
[This protracted struggle has been going on for nine years. The influence of the resistance on the general public has been expanding day by day. Many games that have not appeared in this timeline have been restored by the resistance and distributed to the residents of the city through various channels.]
[In the past nine years, Bita has been constantly taking countermeasures. In the policy against the resistance, the AI has also been upgraded. From the initial "arrest of traitors" to "kill on the spot if the target resists", to now ... It has become a "kill on sight" policy.]
[Moreover, in the past nine years, in order to eliminate the metahumans, Bita has restored the production of military arms on earth. It has also established a \'Search Force\' made up of humans and assisted the machines in searching for the rebellion Army.]
[On this day in 2153, you, as a captive soldier of the \'Search Force\', came to the resistance base outside city A0007.]
After that, the narration finally ended ... The cinematics coincidentally aligned with the perspective of Feng bujue\'s character.
In the same second, brother Jue regained his ability to move. As usual, he first looked at his surroundings.
At this moment, he was in a place similar to a prison. Although it was called a "prison"... It was actually not that big. It was a room less than 30 square meters, surrounded by three walls and an iron fence.
Although the room was not big, there were seven or eight people squatting, sitting, and standing inside. There was also a bucket in the corner of the room that was emitting a foul smell. Its function was obvious ...
"Please note: your appearance and language have been modified by the system. The characters in the scenario will not question your clothing or wording."
When brother Jue was looking around, the system gave him a voice message.
Feng bujue had already expected this because he realized that no matter what race the people around him were, they were all wearing a full-body uniform that was made of some unknown material. Each piece of clothing had a different number, and according to his speculation ... It was most likely a soldier\'s number or something.
"Hmm ... No matter how the plot turns out ..." Several seconds later, brother Jue said,"it feels like ... This place is not like the main universe ..."
