Chapter 1098 Chapter 1097 The Second Closed Test

201 male bedroom.

Ji Mo, who was carrying a satchel, pushed open the door, and said excitedly as soon as he entered the door before he even had time to put down the bag.

"You can't believe what happened today!"

Stopping the pen in his hand, Duan Siqi looked back, pushed down his glasses and asked curiously: "...what happened?"

Zimmer: "Professor Perelman! That great god who is said to have quit the world of mathematics! He even joined our research group!"

Listening to the voice from behind, Wu Di, who was led by Yang Shuang into the auto chess pit some time ago, stared at the computer screen, coughed dryly and said: "...Sorry, I don't understand your stalk very well, you can tell me Who is he?"

"Of course Perelman is Perelman! The Russian mathematician who solved the Poincaré conjecture!" When it comes to mathematics, Zimmer is very excited, regardless of whether the people next to him can understand him or not He stopped, and said to himself, "There are also Professor Faltings and Schulz! These two big cows are here too! This is awesome, half of the Bourbaki School has come to our university !"

Except for the more boring Yang Shuang who was curiously listening to this guy bragging, the others obviously lacked interest in this topic.

Unlike the other two roommates, Duan Siqi, who is also a top student, naturally knows the names of Perelman and Faltins, but whether he is interested or not is another matter.

After all, they are only freshmen, and they have just gotten into mathematics.

Perhaps when I was in the senior year or promoted to a graduate student, and actually engaged in research in this field, I would feel more empathy for these well-known names.

As for the present, at least for himself, Duan Siqi feels that 10,000 Perelmans or Faltings are not as powerful as Lu Shen, who has invented virtual reality technology.

Speaking of this, sometimes Duan Siqi feels that he is really envious of this roommate named Jimo.

No matter what the situation is, he can immerse himself in his own world like no one else.

If it were me, it would definitely not work.

Perhaps it is precisely this state of mind that this enviable guy can find his own place in the pure and complex world of mathematics.

Just when Duan Siqi was feeling emotional, Yang Shuang, who was standing aside and listening to Ji Mo's bragging, suddenly noticed the textbook on his desk, and after a careful look, a look of shock appeared on his face.

"... Counting homework? Fuck, awesome, you haven't finished the class yet, have you finished it?"

"Well," Duan Siqi nodded and said after pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "I still have something to do on the weekend, so I'll write it in advance."

Wu Di, who was playing chess, suddenly got excited when he heard that there was something to do on the weekend. He looked back at Yang Shuang and said with a smile.

"Is there something? There is a story! Tell me honestly, is there a female ticket?"

Seeing the narrow expression on the faces of his buddies in the dormitory, Duan Siqi smiled embarrassedly.

"What are you thinking? It has nothing to do with girls."

Until now, he hasn't said anything about the closed beta. One is because of his personality, he doesn't like to be the focus of people's topics, and the other is that it is too troublesome to explain, so it is better not to say it at all.

However, it is one thing in real life and another thing online.

Thinking of the tens of thousands of fans on his scarf, he couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion in his heart.

Just updating two scarves has attracted so much attention. It seems that people's enthusiasm for this technology has reached such a frenzied level that even his little transparency will not be spared. He is urging him in private messages and comment areas every day. He said a few more details about that phantom system.

These messages have almost become one of his motivations for looking forward to the next closed beta.

However, even leaving aside the fans who are waiting for him to update the details of the closed beta, he is still curious about what the second closed beta will be about.

It is said that it will not be the same as before.

But what is the difference, the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study did not reveal to them, the beta testers.

Thinking about it is really exciting.

...

On the day of the weekend.

The second closed beta started as scheduled.

As previously disclosed by the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, the content of this test is indeed a bit different from usual.

A group of people stood in a barren forest, looking left and right at a loss.

Next to them was the wreckage of a plane that had been torn apart in the middle.

In front of the crowd, a staff member in a white coat stood, smiling and explaining the current situation to them.

"...Thank you for your support and participation in our second closed beta. It's a pleasure to see you again."

"In short, this is a large-scale sociological simulation experiment. You are now playing a group of survivors who survived a plane crash. The only goal is to survive for 72 hours until the rescue team arrives."

"There is a day and night change setting here, but the daytime is only 6 hours, and the night is only 2 hours, so you will feel that the time passes faster. There are your nutritional values ​​in the attribute panel, and you can check your current physical condition at the same time. , if it falls below the red line, it will be automatically disengaged from the experiment."

"I must declare that anything can happen in this experiment, but it is only limited to the virtual reality world. Therefore, before the official start of the experiment, if someone feels uncomfortable with the current environment, they can apply to withdraw from the closed beta in advance."

Quitting is of course impossible.

As the lucky one among thousands of people, even if he has no interest in wandering in the forest, he will not refuse to stay here for a while.

The staff looked around and saw that no one raised their hands, so they nodded with a smile.

"Well then, have a good time."

At this time, a tall and thin man stood up and asked calmly.

"Wait a minute, can I ask a question?"

The staff nodded: "Excuse me."

"Can common sense in reality be tried here? For example, drilling wood to make fire, or cutting down trees to make tools and traps."

"Of course." The staff nodded with a smile. "It's better to say that we are testing this scene to detect loopholes in the physics engine."

The man nodded.

"……I see."

Seeing no one still had problems, the staff disappeared.

The clock in the virtual world started to turn, and this so-called large-scale sociological experiment officially began.

Without stopping too much, the person who asked the question before quickly walked towards the wreckage of the plane, as if planning to search inside first to see if he could find anything useful.

Noticing his movements, a burly man next to him, who looked like he was exercising regularly, looked back at the curious players walking around beside him, and shouted.

"There are only six hours in the daytime, and we can't do much on the first day. Anyway, let's search for the wreckage of the plane first. There should be supplies and the like..."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, some were simply at a loss, while others simply wanted to play this "game" according to their own style of play, and hated listening to others' orders.

Seeing that no one listened to him, the man stopped talking and walked into the plane.

Looking at those two people, Duan Siqi always felt a little weird.

I don't know if he is too sensitive.

Always felt……

These two people looked calm, as if they had played this game before, or had already participated in this closed beta.

As time passed, the players finally took action. Some walked towards the depths of the forest, while others walked towards the plane, or gathered together in small groups to brag and fart.

Looking around with interest, a white-collar woman in her twenties, wearing an OL uniform, couldn't help but praise her.

"It's pretty good as a tourist simulator. It can make the forest so real that it looks like it's real. I'm afraid I can enjoy the Maldives while lying at home in the future."

As if hearing this sentence, a man in a plaid shirt answered.

"It kind of reminds me of a game."

"What game?" Because she didn't play games much, the female white-collar looked at him and asked.

"The Forest, forest, a survival game, but the content is not limited to survival, there are also some monsters and the like."

"Monster?" Another female player in more fashionable casual clothes said with a smile, "Sounds so scary."

"Don't worry, if a monster really appears, you can hide behind me," a frivolous-looking man whistled and said in a joking tone, "I'm a high-end player anyway."

Watching the conversation of these people from the sidelines, Duan Siqi couldn't help curling his lips, thinking that if such an accident really happened, with your body, you probably have to rely on others to protect you.

Of course, he himself didn't seem to laugh at other people's position.

Although he has played basketball and his grades in physical education are pretty good, he is still too weak to fight monsters and the like...

In order to draw a clear line with these "health players" who fished, he planned to do something, at least not to make himself look too idle, so he walked over to the wreckage of the plane.

First, I searched through a few suitcases scattered from the shelves, but apart from a few unused clothes, I didn't gain much.

Stuffing the only valuable compressed biscuit into his pocket, he walked up to the man who had reminded others to search for the wreckage of the plane and was now buried in the pile of suitcases looking for something, hesitating for a while and speaking.

"I'm going to see if there's a river nearby."

"That's a good idea, be careful on the road," the man raised his head from the pile of suitcases, the man didn't say much, just threw a switchblade into his hand, "Also, remember to bring this with you."

Is this the legendary role-playing player?

Looking at his serious expression, Duan Siqi felt that this guy was a little too deep into the drama.

"...Even if you give me this, it's useless. If I really encounter something like a beast, it will probably be a matter of one bite."

"It's not for you to fight with wild beasts," the man grinned, showing a tough expression, "it's just that when you hold tools in your hands, it can somewhat deter wild beasts."

Duan Siqi: "You seem to be very good at surviving in the wild? Are you a donkey friend? Or a military fan?"

It seemed that he didn't really want to answer this question, but after hesitating for a while, the man still gave an ambiguous answer: "It counts as being in the army."

He thought it was interesting that this guy was so deeply involved in the drama, he really looked like one of his lovely roommates, Duan Siqi couldn't help thinking of making friends, so he smiled and extended his right hand.

"My name is Duan Siqi, what's your name?"

The man didn't seem to want to have too much interaction with him, he frowned, but still held his hand.

"Li Gaoliang."

Nodding his head, Duan Siqi memorized the somewhat strange name, then made a farewell gesture, turned around and walked towards the depths of the forest.

Although he has no experience in surviving in the wild, he is still a high-achieving student admitted to the University of Jinan based on his ability. Knowing that this is a "game", his mind is still clear.

While walking, he used a switchblade to carve marks on the nearby tree to prevent himself from getting lost and to correct his direction at any time.

After walking like this for about two hours, the rustling of the waves reached his ears through the bushes.

Speeding up his pace, a vast sandy beach soon came into his eyes.

"This is the sea... are we on an island?"

After muttering something, he took note of the approximate location of the coast, and then returned along the same road.

When returning, we need to find the marks left when we came, so it took a little more time.

When he saw the wreckage of the plane and the "players" sitting nearby, the sky had turned yellow.

The golden yellow that passes through the gaps in the leaves is elongated, and the dust in the woods refracts the bright light under the Tyndall effect, and it is a beautiful scene to look up.

Sure enough, as the GM said, there are only six hours a day in the game.

That being said, it should be night in a few minutes.

If it weren't for the hunger value on the property panel and the simulated hunger to remind the players here that it's time to eat, it would be hard to imagine that this is a virtual reality world, not a planet with only six hours of rotation.

Duan Siqi didn't spend too much time admiring the beautiful scenery nearby. Duan Siqi quickly walked to the side of Li Gaoliang who claimed to have stayed in the army.

Looking nostalgicly at the fire he had just set up with stones and wooden branches, Li Gaoliang stood up and noticed the young man walking towards him, and asked in a good mood.

"How's it going?"

Duan Siqi: "About one kilometer to the west is the beach. The surrounding terrain is very flat. There are no too high hills or rivers."

"Then there shouldn't be any large animals hunting nearby. It seems that we don't need to worry about wild animals." Looking around, Li Gaoliang frowned and said, "But this also means that our food The source may be a problem."

Will the game be this realistic?

Although he expressed doubts about this, Duan Siqi did not dwell on this issue, but asked.

"Is there no one in the plane?"

"Yes, but not many." Li Gaoliang shook his head, squinting his eyes to see the setting sun not far away, "...Anyway, we have to light up the fire before it gets dark."

Duan Siqi nodded, without saying anything, took out a half-bitten biscuit from his pocket, and took a bite.

Compared with reading in the library last time, the level of realism of this "Phantom" system is getting higher and higher, and he can even feel the hunger in his belly.

The only regret is that the food here is tasteless, eating everything is like chewing sand.

Moreover, it has to be fed once every two hours, and it doesn't take long to eat it, which makes people feel like they have become a coelenterate.

The bonfire was quickly lit.

As the sky darkened, even those who were not very gregarious took the initiative to lean over.

A group of people just sat around the campfire, eating tasteless canned food, laughing and chatting.

"What do you mean by this sociology experiment? Why do I feel like I've been fishing all day without doing anything?"

"If you know the purpose of the experiment, the experiment will be meaningless."

"Speaking of which, the rescue seems to take 72 hours to arrive. Shouldn't we have to stay in the virtual reality world for 72 hours?"

"Certainly not. It is estimated that it will be archived after the end of the day. Everyone will go offline collectively to solve their physical needs."

Listening to a group of people chattering and discussing there, Duan Siqi, who was squatting on the ground and playing with the fire with a branch, didn't speak, but quietly thought about what to write on the blog post after going offline for a while.

To be honest, apart from the excitement at the beginning, this closed beta gave him more feeling, more like weirdness than fun.

There seems to be endless secrets hidden in the empty woods, but in contrast to it is the aimless main line of the game, without even a little hint or clue, so that almost most people don't know what to do here. What to do during the 6 hours of the day.

The fire crackled softly.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound from the jungle not far away.

For a moment, Li Gaoliang raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the darkness not far away.

Noticing his movements, the stylishly dressed female player next to him looked at him curiously and asked.

"……What's wrong?"

Talking lightly, Li Gaoliang grabbed the knife pinned to his waist with his right hand.

"There is movement."

The female player said with a smile: "I'm timid, don't scare me."

Li Gaoliang frowned and ignored her.

Seeing his hypersensitive appearance, Duan Siqi couldn't help shaking his head.

However, just when he was about to complain about this guy, a creepy feeling suddenly crept into his heart.

Looking into the woods, something seemed to be walking towards the fire.

Frowning, Duan Siqi looked in the direction of the shadow.

Gradually, the outline became clearer.

When he saw the rotting human face stepping out from the shadow of the forest and gradually becoming clear, his pupils instantly contracted into a single point.

"Run! Run to the cabin!"

Hearing a man's roar and a woman's scream, Duan Siqi wanted to move subconsciously, at least opening the switchblade to give himself some comfort, but neither his hands nor feet trembled.

This terrifying atmosphere is too realistic...

Speaking of which, which crow's mouth said it? There are still monsters in this forest.

As soon as such thoughts came into my mind, the rotten face was already one step away.

Before he had time to resist, a rotten hand had already reached his chest.

In the next moment, his consciousness had already flown out of the virtual world, and he became the first victim of this experiment with glory and heroism...
