Kardashian frowned after the Magician's Hand was cast. She looked down at the staff in her hand and was about to cast another spell when Roddy held her back. "Sister … it's better to be careful in the town. Casting spells casually will attract trouble."
"Huh? What kind of trouble? "
Kardashian turned around and asked curiously. She heard the waiter at the entrance of the tavern yelling in Bringan, "Which idiot threw a stone here?! Don't you have anything better to do? "
The waiter looked over. There was no one around. Judging from the direction, he could tell that it was either Roddy or Kardashian who did it. The bartender wanted to say something but swallowed his words when he saw the robe on Kardashian's body. It was obvious that a "swordsman" could be offended, but who knew what kind of background the "elementalist" had?
Seeing that the bartender did not dare to say anything and returned to the tavern, Kardashian's expression became more solemn. She turned and asked, "Was that person played by another player or an NPC?"
Kardashian was used to such professional terms. Roddy answered naturally, "Why would a player be a bartender? That's an NPC."
"Just a computer simulation?"
Kardashian took a deep breath. This was something she could not believe. Although she had understood what the "computer" was all about, the NPCs in normal games were programmed. In order to save resources, they would not even trigger the dialogue of unrelated characters. However, an inconspicuous bartender in the tavern in Earthbreaker actually knew how to act according to the character's judgment? How could a computer simulate that kind of profiteering?
"Err, it must be a computer simulation." Roddy realized that this was a little shocking to his common sense. He explained, "This is also a big selling point of Earthbreaker. Because the quantum computer is on a completely different level from the previous computers, the research on AI artificial intelligence was also applied in the game. Back then, the publicity was that this was no different from the real world. All the characters had their own thoughts because each of them was an independent AI … "
In fact, Rody did not mention the more glorious achievements of Earth Breaker. With the support of the quantum computer, it directly brought 'online gaming' to a whole new level. Many people even called it a 'real second world', a 'daydream', or a 'huge sense of nothingness'. The number of online users of Earth Breaker, which swept the world, exceeded 100 million in the first month. If it were not for the high requirements of the hardware, it would not have been a problem for the total number of users to exceed 500 million.
Quantum computing hadn't been used in the military field yet, but it had already been used in a game. This was ridiculous. After that, various countries even set up various working groups to seek cooperation from "Knight". Because of this, "Knight", the helmsman of "Earthbreaker", had an unusually strong international status.
At Rody's level, he was unable to understand the specific impact. However, at this moment, Roddy was feeling a little "proud". After all, this was "the technology of humans on Earth". It could shock Kardashian, the Dragons. Roddy felt honored.
"How far can this AI go? Can they live on their own? Do farmers know how to farm? Do merchants know how to sell goods and bargain? "
Kardashian asked many questions, but there was only one core. Could the AI reach the level of a real person?
Roddy's answer was a definite yes. As a player who relied on his archery skills to survive on this continent, he naturally understood the power of the AI. To put it bluntly, if the various frames in front of him were forcefully hidden and the highest version of the game cabin was used, there wouldn't be much difference between here and the real world. The surrounding NPCs had their own beliefs and subjective initiative. They would interact on their own, and the country would fight on its own. Even if the players didn't enter, the world could still function.
Even though Earthbreaker had more than 100 million active players and 300 million registered players, it wasn't realistic for all of them to gather on this continent. Roddy had heard that the quantum computer divided the players into thousands of server regions. The actual number of players in each server wouldn't be too high. Thus, there wouldn't be a situation where players would dominate the population and change the world's structure.
As for the distribution method, Rody had also heard a lot of complaints from the big guilds in the server. This was because 'The Earthbreaker' had a problem where the players could not choose their own server '. This made the players feel puzzled. After all, most people fought together with two or three friends. There were also some large guilds that developed together with thousands of players. However, because of this rule, they couldn't get together at all. Everyone entered different servers and was born in different places. Thus, it was almost impossible for them to unite and change the world.
After a long time, the players realized that there were people from all kinds of countries around them. Everyone had different ethnicities and values. The sense of identity was almost zero. It was difficult to create any waves at the national level.
In a server, the biggest unit of players was the "guild." However, these "guilds" formed by various people usually didn't have a strong sense of unity. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for Roddy to kill the higher-ups of the guilds alone.
To put it bluntly, the players in the game couldn't "change the world." They were just part of the world. In the tide of history, they could only go with the flow and try their best to stand firm. They couldn't go against the tide and make any changes.
The invasion of the Orcs and the tide of the Undead caused many hardships in the Kingdom of Karen. Many people were so angry that they "cooled down" because they complained that their camp was so useless. The official reply of Earthbreaker was simple. Everything was the result of the quantum computer's calculations. This was a "real world." Because it was "real," there was no such thing as "justice will prevail over evil."
Later on, everyone understood that this was the only company that could make the game feel like a second life. They didn't have a choice, so they decided to continue playing.
Therefore, some people continued to lead a befuddled life in the game, while others fought for their beliefs. In the end, they formed a "balanced" world.
How did Roddy change the tide completely? It was because he appeared at the crucial juncture of the year 588. The wind rose at the end of the green duckweed. Roddy changed everything at the beginning. Therefore, he should have changed the whole situation with his own strength.
"According to what you've said, when the war came, the Players behaved more or less the same as the natives. Some of them held back, some actively resisted, some incited dissension, and some simply hid in the forest as if it had nothing to do with them?"
After listening to Roddy's explanation, she had a deeper understanding of Earthbreaker. However, the doubts in her heart didn't disappear. Instead, she felt that the game was full of doubts. "Roddy … Among these people, are there any that you are familiar with? For example … can you find Sally and see if she is exactly the same as that Eiffel Duke? "
Her words stunned Roddy, but he immediately understood her intention. Although the AI in this world was complete, these AI were set by humans. Then, would the AI that was set be exactly the same as the people in the Kingdom of Karen? It would be fine if they were different, but if they were exactly the same …
That would make one shudder with fear.
Roddy shivered, but he still had to answer the question. But when he thought of "Sally," his face darkened. "In this game, Sally died before the server started. If you're talking about finding me and people I know … Akasha is probably in the Viper Cross right now. I don't know if she's alive or dead; Zodelor became the leader of the Resistance Army after the Orc invasion, but he's probably just a small team leader now. He hasn't reached a high position yet, so it won't be easy to find him … Nata can, but it'll take a few days to reach the Silent Forest from here, we- "
At this point, Roddy suddenly froze. He realized that he had neglected a lot of things. He knew Natha because he knew that she was quiet, and he even remembered that she liked to wear red leather armor. He took the initiative to get to know Sodelor because he knew that this guy was clear-headed and cautious. After saving Naifei, he unintentionally cooked according to her taste in the game.
Didn't all this mean that they were the same both in and out of the game?
Realizing this fact, Roddy instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Kardashian saw that he stopped halfway and asked curiously, "What should we do?"
Luo Di explained his judgment to him. Kardashian shook her head after listening, "What you said can't be used as a completely valid proof. But hearing you say this, I just thought of a problem: human life is limited, and personal perception will usually change drastically in situations like war. If the historical process of the two worlds is completely different, then I'm afraid there's no way to verify many things … "
"And the biggest problem is that the human brain is complex, and you can't confirm whether your verification is accurate or not. What if everything is just a coincidence? "
This series of questions was also rhetorical, and Kardashian almost denied her own idea, but then she suddenly knocked on her head, "Hey! I was tricked by myself. "
"Ah? What's wrong? "
"I've been thinking about using 'humans' as proof, but I forgot that I'm a Dragon. The disputes on the continent have no effect on Dragons."
Kardashian exhaled. Roddy thought it made sense, and said, "The key is that I think it's difficult to confirm the location of the Dragons. Sister, do you have any way to find them? Who are we going to find? "
