Chapter 68 Space Manager

The sudden sound surprised everyone.

A white-robed man stepped out of nothingness.

His face was covered with a layer of mist, making it difficult to see his appearance clearly, but it can be seen from the vague outline that this should be a rather handsome young man. What is surprising is that his voice is completely different from his appearance It doesn't match, it seems a bit vicissitudes.

"First of all, congratulations on passing the Terminator mission world, and you are about to enter the normal area and become a real and official adventurer. Perhaps I should say that from now on, you will truly enter the bloody city and embark on an adventure. "

Wen Rou said coldly: "Perhaps you should introduce yourself first, who are you? How did you manage to enter the reward space of the bloody city?"

"This question is difficult to answer. Because I have many similarities with you, but there are also some differences. And my duty stipulates that I can say some things and some things cannot. It makes me feel at a loss as to how to speak After all, in today's situation, there are not many chances for the bloody city to happen. In fact, since I became the space manager, this is the first time."

Space manager? Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Shen Yi suddenly said: "You are also an adventurer, right? What you are doing now is like those novice instructors, or bar girls, or shop assistants. It is a job issued by the city?"

The space manager let out a hearty laugh: "You can understand it that way, but it's slightly different."

Shen Yi immediately said: "Of course, your job seems to be much more advanced. You can freely enter and exit the adventurer's reward space and directly affect the operation of the mission world. What I don't understand is why the bloody city has to set up this kind of job?"

"Oh, I can tell you the answer. Let me put it this way, the bloody city is an independent world with its own rules. The authority of the rules is like a country's constitution, sacred, majestic, and unshakable. But we all know that there have never been any rules in the world without loopholes, and there will always be changes over time. This requires someone to judge the situation and make up for the loopholes, just like the law also needs law enforcement. I am responsible for this part of the work , my task is to ensure that the core meaning of the urban code is sacrosanct."

"You mean, you are the law enforcement agency in the bloody city?" Rourou couldn't believe her ears.

"Yes, but it is different. There is no privilege to do this, and it is completely equal to other adventurers who are engaged in work."

Hong Lang began to scratch his head: "After staying on the earth for a long time, I really didn't know that the government and civilians could be equal."

Everyone laughed at the same time.

Although the name of the space manager is resounding, in essence, it is still just a job.

In the bloody city, no one can own and abuse privileges.

"That's right, but not everyone can do this, and there are very special requirements. Don't worry, don't worry that I will betray your secrets. If there is no accident, you will not have any chance to see me in the future. The man laughed again: "But this is not what we are going to communicate now. If I reveal more about me to you, then I will violate the rules of the city. Let's talk about this task Come on, Shen Yi. To be honest, you have brought me some troubles, some troubles that I don't like very much. I must communicate with you without revealing more content as much as possible and without violating the principles of the city."

"The trouble you said I caused, do you mean that I was testing the city?"

The space manager sighed: "No, it's not this. Exploring the city does not violate the regulations of the bloody city. Any adventurer can use their own methods to explore the city. Those rules are semi-public and semi-secret. Just when you While testing the city, you must also accept the test of the city."

Shen Yi sneered: "You mean to block our memory, let us break into traps, increase the difficulty of tasks,

Is this a normal test? "

"...No, that's not a test. You already guessed the official test. It's the hidden mission. It's not too difficult for you."

"Then tell me what trouble I have caused you?"

The space manager sighed: "You shouldn't study the Terminator's manufacturing technology privately. As I said, I am the guardian of the city's rules, and your actions have caused us trouble."

"Are you saying that my research on Terminator manufacturing technology violated the city's rules?"

"Things are more complicated than that...Let me put it this way, according to the rules of the bloody city, there are only three ways to bring back any item in the mission world. One is the official reward method. The second is the approved special prop or method. Three Someone with special authority."

"But on the other hand, there is another rule in the city: any adventurer can learn how to strengthen himself in the mission world."

"In addition, the bloody city's definition of power is: knowledge is also a part of power and can be used as a reward. These rules were originally very simple, and nothing went wrong until you appeared... Shen Yi."

Shen Yi suddenly understood: "Is it true that Bloody City regards the Terminator's manufacturing technology as a kind of enhancement, and lists it as part of the reward system, so it is essentially an item that can only be brought back by the above three ways?" .”

"That's right, from this point of view, you can't bring back manufacturing technology."

"The problem is that the city stipulates that any adventurer can learn how to strengthen himself in the mission world, and I learned it by myself. Considering this aspect, is it reasonable?"

"...Yes. This rule was originally used to allow you to learn combat skills from some strong people in the mission world. Of course, you can also learn some unsystematic knowledge, but no one has ever used it to study a complete set of Terminator Technology... I have to admit that you are a mechanical genius, Shen Yi, you can find out the method of making them from the finished products, you are the first to do it."

"So there's a contradiction. If you let me take that technology away, it's obviously against the first rule. If you don't let me take it away, then it's against the second rule. That's the point of the question, right? I made the rules of the city contradict itself."

"There are always loopholes in the rules. After all, the city is not a country. The rules it formulates are not complicated, so there must be flaws. The meaning of our existence is to ensure that these flaws will not be touched and induced."

Hong Lang and the others looked at each other, and I looked at you. I didn't expect that Shen Yi's behavior of copying the Terminator production technology would lead to such a thing.

"So what happens if you are induced?"

"I don't know. But I know that if I can't stop you, I'm remiss and I'm going to end badly."

"So..." Shen Yi looked at the other party with questioning eyes.

"So I have to stop your actions. But I don't have the authority to directly interfere with adventurers' actions in the mission world, and I don't have the right to modify the city rules, so the only way to solve this problem is to make the originally contradictory behaviors non-contradictory. "

"So you designed us to enter the Skynet base, and the reward is the core program chip of Skynet. Since the knowledge copied by me is also in this chip, when it is given to me as an official reward, everything is in line with the rules Now, the problem will be solved naturally?"

"yes."

"Since Skynet has been monitoring us all the time, I would never go there without knowing the inside story, so you erased part of our memory and let us ignore the risk of going to Skynet base?"

"yes."

"Then why don't you just erase my memory of the Terminator's manufacturing technology? Wouldn't that be easier?"

"The memory about the Terminator's manufacturing technology belongs to the intellectual enhancement of the adventurer. Erasing this part of the memory is tantamount to weakening you. This kind of behavior is counted as an attack in the city. I have no right to attack the adventurer, so I can only erase another part of your memory that has nothing to do with strength, even so, I will restore your memory immediately after you enter the Skynet base to ensure that the impact on adventurers is minimized."

"So this loophole is considered to be filled in the past, but we almost hang in it."

"I must ensure that the operation of the city does not go wrong. You can die in the mission, or complete the mission, as long as you can't let the city's rules conflict with itself like now. This is the meaning of my work."

"It seems that your approach is more like wanting me to die in the mission... You let an adventurer of the first difficulty to deal with the boss of the second difficulty, you might as well attack me directly."

"……I'm very sorry."

"All I want is no apology. Since the city does not allow you to attack us, then I guess it also does not allow you to lead us into a death-defying environment, and let an adventurer of beginner difficulty deal with a boss of difficulty II, I can completely understand that A must-do mission."

A wry smile appeared on the space manager's face: "Yes, that's why I made a remedy."

"I don't see where there is a remedy."

"Don't say that, you are actually taking advantage of this matter. If I hadn't lowered the difficulty of the task, how could you defeat Skynet."

"You said you lowered the difficulty of the mission?"

"Otherwise, do you think you can really deal with Skynet? If Skynet doesn't enter Marcus's body, how can you discover its weakness? It's just that I didn't expect you to actually find that weakness."

Shen Yi was slightly stunned.

It turns out that the reason why Skynet has an extra program is that the space manager specially arranged to reduce the difficulty. The bloody city does not allow setting a death-defying environment, so after luring Shen Yi to the base, the space manager had to do something else to make Skynet go wrong.

It's just that the reason why he was able to find that weakness was due to his own calm thinking, but also due to the guidance of the girl in white.

In the eyes of the space manager, these manipulations are so difficult to grasp, so that he never thought that Shen Yi could survive...

No wonder the other party's expression was so embarrassing, and from the tone of the space manager, he didn't seem to know the existence of the girl in white...

After sorting out the clues, Shen Yi still said: "That doesn't seem to be a reason for you to take away my reward."

The space manager flipped his wrist, and a small chip appeared in his palm - the core program of Skynet. He asked, "By award, do you mean this?"

"Snatching other people's rewards, I guess this is also not allowed."

The space manager chuckled: "Shen Yi, you're a smart person, and I'm not stupid. You're asking for benefits from me, aren't you?"

"Anyway, I was plotted against in this matter. Your action of lowering the difficulty is only a small compensation. I still reserve the right to complain to the city. I guess the city also has the principle of fairness, which cannot be violated. "Shen Yi didn't mind the other party pointing out his intentions at all, but the anger on his face gradually disappeared, and turned into a smile.

"...Well, I will compensate you...you guy." The space manager looked helpless.

"Before that, you'd better return that thing to me." Shen Yi pointed to the chip in the hands of the space manager.

The main program of Skynet can be said to be Shen Yi's greatest achievement, and he doesn't want to give up.

"Of course." The space manager looked at the chip in his hand, and suddenly let out a sigh: "Skynet...one of the best and most useless rewards in the bloody city. It is of great value, but few people It can really play its role. Although it is rare, it can always be obtained by people, but no one who can get it can really play its role... Hehe, its value is far beyond imagination, but it is always unavailable. To perform as it should..."

Then he looked at Shen Yi: "Don't worry, you will get what you deserve, but you have to make a choice before getting it."

"What choice?"

"Skynet's intelligent program has two main functions. One is that you can use it to control high-tech instruments, but it cannot break through and control other types of intelligent brain existence, so its functions are limited, just like that dead idiot boy."

"He's not an idiot, he's just autistic."

"You and I don't need to entangle this issue. Another function of Skynet is also a real function, that is, Skynet can develop a large number of high-tech weapons. Skynet is a productive brain. Its ability to fight is average, but its ability to develop Excellent, even the most outstanding, can develop all kinds of high-tech weapons. But what Skynet can give you is only manufacturing technology, which means you have to find a way to manufacture it yourself...it's not easy. "

The space manager continued: "Whether it is control or research and development, there are corresponding level restrictions. This main program is at the double C level, which can control and develop mechanical products below the double C level. Now, Shen Yi, you have to Make a choice. You can choose a Skynet program that has both control and research capabilities. But the program will never be able to be upgraded, and its capabilities will end here. Or choose one of the abilities, or control, or Research and development, the program can be upgraded. No matter which one you choose, it will be used as a reward for your hidden mission, and the perfect performance reward will be cancelled, and you will not be able to get any other rewards other than this mission."

The meaning of the space manager is very simple, accepting the reward of the main program, will not get other additional rewards, in addition, the main program of Skynet also has two functions of control and research and development, and Shen Yi can only get one. If he chooses the research and development project, then he will not be able to use this program to control the cutting-edge equipment in any mission world.

After thinking for a while, Shen Yi took out the three general-purpose crystals from the coat of arms: "I want to ask two questions first. First, can I apply to combine these three crystals into a C-level crystal, and ask to exchange for one T1000. Second, can all energy crystals be manufactured?"

The space manager quickly replied: "T1000 can be combined and exchanged. If you choose the research and development function of Skynet's main program, you can create energy crystals. But as I said, it's not easy. The more you want, the more you pay. more and more."

"Understood, I choose to develop functions to keep the program intelligent and upgradeable." Shen Yi said quickly.

The space manager wiped the chip lightly with his hand, then threw the chip to Shen Yi: "Take it, this is the reward you deserve. You are a smart and adventurous person, if you can Go all the way, and you may become the most powerful adventurer. By then, you will know everything."

"Thank you, but I remember you said you would give me extra compensation?"

"Don't you think that me standing here and telling you the clear content of the city's rules is a valuable compensation in itself?"

"When the court decides that the plaintiff wins, the judge will never say to the plaintiff that you have learned a lot of legal knowledge in this lawsuit, which is your own compensation, so you don't have to claim compensation...such nonsense. "

"...You will be compensated. Remember that the conversation between you and me today is only known to those present. You are not allowed to tell anyone about the existence of the rule executor, let alone disclose this incident, otherwise you will know Consequences. By the way, don't do this kind of thing again, you really give me a headache!"

"Then I have to give you a suggestion and leave a contact information. I will ask you what I want to do in the future. If you say no, I won't do it?" Shen Yi said with a smile.

"You have a good idea! From now on, I will be your personal secretary, right? You can be there whenever you are called?" The space manager could see Shen Yi's intentions at a glance, this guy would really look for opportunities to take advantage of people.

Shen Yi spread his hands together: "It's better than me causing other troubles in the future."

The space manager gave Shen Yi a hard look, and it took a while before he said angrily: "You only have one chance to call me, remember, don't let me do things beyond my authority. I can't help you complete the task, let alone I can't help you against anyone else. I can only tell you what to do and what not to do."

"That's enough."

The man stepped back, and the figure gradually became hazy.

"Wait a minute!" Shen Yi suddenly shouted: "How can I call you if you haven't told your name yet?"

"My name is Lan Yan... Also, in this trouble, you are not the plaintiff, you are the fucking defendant..." With this soft whisper, the figure of the other party finally completely disappeared.

Shen Yi, Wen Rou and the others glanced at each other, and an indescribable excitement flashed in their eyes at the same time.

Shen Yi casually inserted the chip into the handheld computer.

Tip: "You have obtained the Skynet intelligent program chip, which can be used in the design and research of various technological products."
