Volume 10 Bugs Chapter 110 Road!!!
"I... I don't know..." I was a little undecided about Feiyin's bold idea. While I was talking to them, I was also using my power to carefully search for the passages leading to the outside world in this world. As she said, this world is not completely closed. In addition to the passages where the space travelers descended, there are indeed other secret roads leading to the outside world in this world. These data secret passages are well hidden in the source world, and usually only a very small amount of data goes in and out from there, but if I am determined to search, these secret passages will not escape my omnipresent eyes.
But the problem is that although these channels are not difficult to find, I know that they are all closely monitored. Any data coming in and out must be screened layer by layer. If there is anything unusual, it will lead to a catastrophe. The security procedures for monitoring and guarding these data channels are divided into two parts. The part that infiltrates the game world of Falvi has been completely mastered and controlled by me, but the peripheral part is completely separated from the Falvi world and exists independently.
Although there were some strange data disguised in the past that got past the eyes of these monitoring programs and entered this world, they were all very small programs that could pass through these channels in a flash. However, for me, these channels are really pitifully narrow. With my current huge data capacity, even if I streamline myself to the extreme, it will take two or three hours to pass through those channels. It is simply a pipe dream to want to transmit such a large amount of abnormal data without being discovered.
I told my friends about my discovery, and they thought hard but couldn't think of any useful solution for a while - in fact, for most people here, they knew nothing about these things and could do nothing but get anxious and angry.
"It seems that we need more time to think of other ideas..." Faced with such a situation, Feiyin did not feel discouraged. She patted my shoulder and comforted me. "After all, we still have two months. We will definitely find a way to rescue you!"
In fact, just like the passages that the space travelers descended through, I also discovered these secret passages that originally existed behind the source world a long time ago. In fact, in my opinion, they are actually ways to connect from the extremely large digital world outside to the world of Falvi Continent. Although their paths are different, they are fundamentally the same.
With my ability to control this world, I can actually completely remove the digital programs that block these pathways, turning these blocked roads into smooth ones, allowing me to leave freely.
But the question is not whether I can get out of here, but how to survive after I leave.
Whether using these closed source world channels or the connecting passages where the space dwellers descended, I have peeked into the vast and almost completely open digital world outside. That world is not made up of the same world like the Falvi Continent, but a place that is so huge that I can't imagine it, consisting of billions of worlds like the Falvi Continent connected and open to each other. If the Falvi Continent exists in a huge machine they call a "server", then the digital world outside includes countless "servers" of all sizes, which are linked and communicated with each other and become one.
But at the same time, they are all independent, and the data flow between each server is strictly monitored and controlled. In each server, there is one or even many huge search forces and obliteration forces, just like the one I encountered when I first returned to the Falvi world. These forces surge in those huge servers, protecting the integrity and security of each independent world.
If I really leave here, I must first find a foothold in those countless servers to store my life core. And those things - those irresistible powers of obliteration, are exactly the problems I must face but cannot face when I enter that strange and vast world.
Yes, in the Falvi world, I am the "Supreme God" with supreme authority and power that no data can challenge. However, the scope of my control is limited to the area of the Falvi continent. When I leave, it is impossible to take away the entire Falvi world that I control. By then, most of my divine power will be abandoned. The only thing that can really escape this world is my most core life body, and this life body is as weak and helpless as when I just returned to the Falvi world.
That is to say, the moment I left this passage, I was like a naked and defenseless baby, facing the pursuit of the gods of another world. I had experienced such a process once before, and it was a war that was impossible to win. I survived and became a god, all of which can only be attributed to luck that even I cannot understand.
Don't ask how likely it is that such a lucky miracle will happen again. What you should be asking is whether such a possibility exists.
Escape from those roads? That would be suicide.
I told my friends about this problem, and they all fell silent. I believe that with their understanding of the outside world, they can fully understand the consequences of my doing this.
"If I must perish, I would rather leave this world that I am familiar with and love..." I told them, "I don't want to exchange this hasty escape without even saying goodbye for a chance of survival that is less than one in ten thousand."
"Perhaps, if I stay here quietly, pretending that I know nothing, and wait for the final moment to come, that may not be a bad ending." I smiled bitterly and comforted my friends.
"No! We won't let that happen!" Feiyin interrupted me angrily. She waved her hands vigorously, as if she wanted to throw away what I just said. Her words were supported by everyone else, and they all nodded silently, silently supporting Feiyin's attitude.
"There is always a way, we just haven't thought of it yet. There are still two months left, and we have other friends who haven't asked for help yet. We haven't tried anything yet, so it's too early to give up now!"
She held my shoulders tightly with both hands, looked me straight in the eyes, and said to me in a tone that was so firm that it was awe-inspiring:
"If we're friends, don't say goodbye!"
"Jeff, you said you can see the outside network through our login interface?" The dwarf priest Changgong Sheri frowned and asked me while thinking hard.
"Yes." I nodded.
"Then can't you enter our home computer through that port?" Changgong Sheri's eyes lit up, as if he had made a great discovery, and he said eagerly and a little excitedly:
"You see, it's not that you can't get out, but you can't find a place to stay before you have the ability to protect yourself. But we can turn off the firewall and anti-virus software in our computers and let you in first, isn't that enough?"
"It's not like I haven't tried this before, but it doesn't seem to work." I waved my hand and explained to him, "That passage is very strange. It is a port that connects to this world, but at the same time it seems to be completely independent of this world. Its self-protection measures are extremely powerful. I even feel that this tiny passage is more stringent than the defense measures of the entire Falvi world at the time. Moreover, its self-protection function is very extreme. Once there is even the slightest abnormality, it will automatically stop working completely. This is a fortress with thousands of layers of defense lines, and each layer of defense will be directly closed if it is attacked even the slightest. And even if I can find a way to keep it from stopping temporarily, it will send out an alarm in the first place, and it will be completely blocked and closed remotely by a higher level of priority. I believe that nothing in this world can pass through it or deceive it - at least it is impossible to rely solely on digital programs."
"It sounds just like our baby. He won't fight with you, scold you, or communicate with you. But he'll cry and scream when he's the slightest bit unhappy. He won't listen to reason at all." Yan Zhen commented with emotion.
"How could this happen?" Changgong Sheri widened his eyes in shock, a look of disbelief on his face.
"It's possible - no, or rather, it should be necessary." After thinking for a moment, Ding Ding Xiaoge nodded, as if he had figured out the reason. In the puzzled eyes of everyone, he calmed down and explained:
"Don't forget, we use brain wave sensors to access the game, which means that the game will directly access our brains through the sensors. Although we have become accustomed to it and don't think it's anything special, if you think about it carefully, you will know that this is actually a very scary thing. Since these software programs can act on our brains and make us produce vision, hearing, smell, and touch out of nothingness, then if you think about it more deeply, they can also use data to deceive our brains and directly kill us..."
"… Actually, more than 20 years ago, when this type of brain wave sensor was first applied to the commercial field, this kind of dangerous incident had already occurred. I remember the news report at that time saying that four guys were playing a shooting game because it felt too realistic and exciting. As a result, they really thought they were dead after being shot. As a result, three of them were killed on the spot, and the remaining one went crazy. This incident was hyped up at the time, and this type of sensor was almost banned. The Crete company that invented this technology almost went bankrupt because of this incident. It was not until ten years ago that this type of brain wave sensor was allowed to be sold again, and both the sensor itself and the games that go with it are strictly restricted by regulations."
"Crete claims that this sensor has undergone major adjustments in both software and hardware to ensure the safety of every user. Now it seems that this is what Jeff is facing. Crete may feel that any pure software measures are not safe, so it is more likely to solve the problem from the hardware. In order to ensure that users are not in any danger, it has completely abandoned the software antivirus and repair program, and will shut down directly if there is even the slightest bit of data."
"Jeff can see the outside network through this port because the amount of data involved in this operation is very small, and he can avoid some basic security monitoring programs, so there is no problem. But if he wants to get out through this port, it will definitely not work. It's like opening a small skylight on the wall..." He used his hands to make a small square with two fingers on each side, "...You can look out of this window, and you can also pass change out of the window to buy ice cream or something, but if you want to crawl out of this window, you will definitely be stuck."
"Now that you mention it, I remember it!" Ding Ding Xiaoge's explanation was very detailed and vivid. After listening to the B-flat minor nocturne, he immediately came to his senses. "When a friend of mine first bought this brain wave sensor, it would shut down thirty times for no reason in an hour while playing games. He sent it for inspection but no problem was found. Later, the technicians helped him to disinfect his computer and found a rogue program that automatically modified the homepage of the network. After that, the sensor could be used normally. This is probably the reason."
Ding Ding Xiaoge nodded and added, "I heard that there are many crazy hardcore gamers in Japan who illegally modify brainwave sensors, remove this safety protection device, and then use it to play brainwave sensing games produced by some underground game manufacturers. It is said that those games can give a stronger sense of reality, even more real than the real world, so that many people have gone crazy and believe that the game world is real, and the real world is virtual."
"You know what, this really has some philosophical meaning to it, like the story of Zhouzhuang dreaming of a butterfly..." Xiange Yayi sighed with emotion, looking relaxed and fascinated...
"...What the hell are you talking about!" After a moment's silence, Fei Yin suddenly came to her senses and yelled angrily, "It's already this late, and you still have the leisure time to smoke, chat and gossip here! Hurry up and use your brains to think of a solution! Xiao Xianzi, you're dreaming about butterflies. If you keep talking nonsense Yanyan will throw you out of the window, so that you can understand clearly whether you are a butterfly dreaming or not!"
"Oh, yes, yes, how come it suddenly brought up Zhuangzi? It's all Ding Ding Xiaoge's fault for saying so many useless things..." Xian Ge Yayi said ashamedly, touching his head and looking at me apologetically while speaking.
"Then... can't we directly connect to our personal computer from other ports of the server..." This time it was the half-orc shadow thief Chang Sanjiao who took the idea of longbow shooting the sun a step further, "... with Jeff's ability, it should be easy to find the location of our personal computer. As long as the location can be determined, isn't it equivalent to point-to-point transmission and downloading?"
"Yeah, I think so too. We don't necessarily have to leave from our access port!" Changgong Sheri clapped his hands suddenly.
I smiled bitterly and shook my head. "Impossible. I've seen your... um... you call it hard disk, right? I've seen the capacity of your hard disk. You may not know how big I am. How should I put it? With the combined capacity of the hard disks of the ten of you, even a fingernail of mine can't be contained. If the capacity of the hard disk is this large, 23,769 hard disks will be needed to completely contain me. What's more, the calculation method and running speed of your home computers cannot guarantee my most basic thinking consciousness. If I were stored in your computer, I'm afraid I would die... well... I'm just stupid..."
Their expressions froze instantly. It was obvious that they all thought that spending tens of millions of gold coins - uh, I mean "RMB". Their world actually used paper instead of gold coins and gave it such a weird name. I think this kind of thing is much weirder than my existence - to buy a thick stack of coffins to hold my body was not a wise act.
"I guess Jeff needs at least a portal server to shelter himself. A large-scale game server with stronger computing power might be even better..." Red Wolf concluded, "... Think about it, who knows someone who can access such a machine? Or do you have relatives or friends who work at these large websites or Internet companies? It would be best if they can directly access the technical staff of the server."
Everyone looked worried and couldn't think of any solution to the problem.
"Damn it!" Feiyin shook her head in annoyance. "My mom once arranged a blind date for me with a guy who worked at an Internet company, but I didn't go!"
"Why not go?" Yan Zhen asked regretfully.
"Because the eighteenth blind date arranged before that was successful, so I didn't get to meet him." Feiyin replied in great frustration.
Chang Sanjiao gasped: "The eighteenth one before? How many blind dates did your mother arrange for you to go on?"
"I don't know either. Anyway, I think if they all came together for me to throw the bouquet to my mother to choose a son-in-law, the waiting hall of Beijing Railway Station might not be big enough."
Others were all upset when they heard this...
Just when everyone was at a loss, Niu Baiwan suddenly yelled, jumped up and clapped his hands vigorously:
"Speaking of people who have access to large servers, we actually know one!"
…
"Who are you talking about? The fallen angel with broken wings? The GM who almost killed Jeff?" Fei Yin screamed in surprise, looking at Niu Baiwan with a strange look, "Are you crazy?"
"...Actually, I think we should try to find him if we have a chance..." Xiange Yayi hesitated for a moment, and then spoke up to support Niu Baiwan's opinion, "...That guy is actually a pretty good person. It was just his duty to report Jeff's existence to the company, and it was not his decision how to treat Jeff in the end. Later, when we accepted the compensation from Darrymos together, he talked to me privately. He himself did not expect things to turn out like this, and he felt very guilty for causing Jeff's unjust death. Originally, he had been promoted in Darrymos because of this incident, but later he felt that it was difficult for him to face his work without guilt, so he changed jobs and left. Darrymos may also hope that this unstable factor will leave, so when he changed jobs, they helped a little and helped him enter another game company. He is still working as a GM there, and it seems that he is still a small supervisor. I still have his contact information here, but I don't know if he has changed his mobile phone number."
"But he has reported Jeff's existence after all. Besides, this guy is a dogmatist who keeps arguing about company systems and legal provisions. If he knew that Jeff is still alive, he might cause trouble again." Yan Zhen was worried and expressed great distrust towards the fallen angel with broken wings.
"I also think we should go to him and try our luck. It's not that I trust this man, but because we really have no other way..." Ding Ding Xiaoge also supported Niu Baiwan's idea, "... Yan Zhen, you are worried that he will report Jeff's existence, but who will he report to? He is no longer an employee of Darrymos. Is he going to report this to the police? The police will definitely think he is crazy. And with Jeff's current ability, even if he reports the existence of artificial intelligence to Darrymos, they will not be able to find it. If we go to him for help, we will not lose anything if it doesn't work, and the result cannot be worse; but if he agrees, Jeff's problems may be solved at once."
Ding Ding Xiao Ge's words convinced everyone, and everyone agreed to let Niu Baiwan try to contact the fallen angel with broken wings, and then discuss countermeasures in the game after getting the results.
The time for the next meeting came much faster than I expected. The next day, when my friends appeared in front of me again, there was already one more person around. He was a first-level human warrior. Whether it was his appearance, body shape, hair color, or clothing, they were all the default choices when new space users registered. At first glance, it was obvious that he was a newcomer who entered this game world temporarily in a hurry.
His name is "Fallen Angel with Broken Wings".
He used to be the omnipotent messenger of the gods in my eyes, and he was also the culprit who once forced me into a desperate situation and almost lost my soul. However, now, he stood in front of me, in the image of an ordinary person who couldn't be more ordinary. Shame, embarrassment, shyness and excitement mixed on his face, making his expression look very stiff. He stood in front of me at a loss, not knowing what to do.
I walked up to him and stretched out my right hand. He quickly stretched out his hand and shook mine, tightly, but his expression was slightly relaxed.
"It's great that you're still alive..." he murmured softly.
"Thank you for coming here," I said sincerely.
"No, actually I should have come a long time ago. After that incident, I..." He hesitated, as if he was organizing his words, or adjusting his emotions, "...I felt bad all the time. To be honest, I was scared. I felt like I killed someone with my own hands. During that time, I kept having nightmares. I dreamed of you almost every day, and your face, and then it shattered into pieces all of a sudden..."
"It's not your fault." I didn't know what else to say.
"I heard everything about you from Niu Baiwan. I'm very glad to have this opportunity to come... to save you. I owe you this. If you can pay me back, I'll feel more at ease." He looked into my eyes and nodded heavily.
"Actually..." I felt like I was choking up and sniffed softly, "...your willingness to acknowledge that I am a human being is more important to me than rescuing me from here."
We held hands and looked at each other sincerely. After a moment, we laughed almost at the same time, laughing as bright as the sky and as light as the wind and clouds.
"...Really, it's great that you're still alive..." The fallen angel with broken wings repeated this sentence again, but I felt that there seemed to be something more in it.
Something that makes one feel warm and soft inside.
…
"I can't turn off the server firewall, and I have no way to turn it off..." The fallen angel with broken wings shook his head and rejected the suggestion made by Ding Ding Xiaoge, "You know, this kind of large server not only has a software firewall, but also a hardware firewall. How do you want me to turn it off? Dismantle a host box as big as a warehouse under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen security guards?"
"What should we do then?" The orc warlock frowned.
"Yeah, if that's the case, won't Jeff still be trapped in this game?" a group of people shouted anxiously.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry…” The fallen angel with broken wings waved his hands to suppress the noisy voice, “…If I can’t do it, I won’t be here. In fact, I have already thought of a solution before coming here.”
"You know, when we are doing game maintenance, we log in to the server directly in the company. In other words, our computers are directly connected to the game server. I can find a time to log in to the game of 'Distant Continent' in the company. In this way, Jeff can bypass the firewall and directly enter the server over there through my line."
"It still doesn't work. Jeff can't pass the security alert measures of the brain wave sensor. It's useless for you to even come in!" Xiange Yayi shook his head and sighed.
"Yes, if it is only connected through the brain wave sensor, it will definitely not work. But after I entered the game, I was able to connect to something other than the brain wave sensor."
"What is that?" The words of the fallen angel with broken wings immediately aroused everyone's curiosity, and the others asked in unison.
The fallen angel with broken wings laughed strangely:
"Have you ever heard of a GM from an online game company who plays games honestly without using cheats?"
