My Swap Life Game

Chapter 169 The Gathering That Changed the Fate of the World

"Teacher, I have something to tell you!"

In class again, Annie took the initiative and raised her hand, once again attracting the attention of a group of expressionless intelligent classmates in the class.

The math teacher didn't respond, but looked at her from the podium.

Annie gradually got used to their personalities and habits, so she stood up boldly and said, "Teacher, when you want to deduct points from me later, it's not appropriate to read it out loud, just send me a message!"

Otherwise, her mind is full of ani deduction points!

It also affects students’ classes.

"it is good."

The teacher replied briefly.

Annie attended classes seriously, and even if she didn't understand, she tried hard to memorize the words in the textbook.

The first half of the class was still a discussion. She said to the female student who turned around, "Classmate, I don't quite understand this knowledge. Why don't you discuss it with others? I just counted and there are an odd number of students in the classroom."

The girl sitting in front of her thought for a moment and refused: "No, you will lose points if you don't participate in the discussion. If you don't understand something, you can ask me. This will not cause me to lose points."

"That's great!"

Annie became happy. She was deducted points for this expression again, but she had Mr. Lu Xing to protect her, so it didn't matter if she lost a few thousand or tens of thousands of points!

She asked first: "I don't know your name yet."

"You can call me SD2. Besides, this sentence has nothing to do with learning." The intelligent female classmate said, warning her with her eyes.

Annie smiled brightly at her, "I see. You all have numbers, but some of you have names. So I'll call you SD, okay?"

She just replied with "OK".

Annie didn't mind and chatted with her happily, asking many questions, not seeking to understand every detail, but just to figure out the meaning of the words.

Just like her fiancé, he still doesn't know much about magic, but it's enough that he can use it.

After class, Annie chatted with Mr. Lu Xing first, then took SD classmate to the corridor to continue chatting. She wanted to ask these intelligent classmates more questions and try to understand what they think about the school, teachers and classmates, the current situation, etc.

Inside the classroom.

Lu Xing watched Annie gather four or five female classmates around her and chat with them in an enthusiastic manner.

"I have a name, Annie. Can you call me by my name? I'm not used to being called by my number."

"Zs-san, do you like skirts? Like what I'm wearing now...oh, is it a school rule again?"

"Ah? Don't you know this is a virtual world? Oh, then I won't say anything. Hehe, I think I leaked the secret... Don't tell anyone, I've asked my fiancé, Mr. Lu Xing."

"That person in the classroom is my fiancé... the boyfriend I'm planning to marry!"

"Have you ever learned horseback riding? How about playing basketball? There is a playground in school, but you have never exercised?"

"What do you usually do?"

"Studying all the time? That's exhausting! No wonder you're all so smart. I can't understand anything you're teaching me!"

"Of course, I'm human!"

Anne proudly admitted that she was a human being. When she said this, at least hundreds of eyes looked at her.

"B74." Chu Caifeng couldn't help but say to Lu Xing, "Your fiancée is very special."

Lu Xing smiled, "She is the daughter of the Duke's family... Well, you can understand that she comes from a good family, has no worries about food and clothing, and her family loves her. She also likes to play and talk, and is very good at making friends."

To them, words like "she comes from a good family, has no worries about food and clothing, and is very much loved" are difficult to understand, but they can see an Anne who is different from everyone else.

Wang Bagua was also watching this scene, and suddenly thought, is this what it looks like after breaking the rules?

Anne broke most of the rules in the classroom, but she brought about changes that affected everyone!
Perhaps, he should invite more people to the party tomorrow night so that more people can see what humans in ancient times were like!

……

After school in the afternoon, the two returned to the town.

"Mr. Lu Xing~"

Annie hugged Lu Xing's arm and asked with a smile: "How did I behave today? Did I make you feel embarrassed?"

"No, Annie did a great job. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt, but later I saw that you adapted quite well. It's the so-called strong people change their environment."

Lu Xing laughed.

Anne understood and felt a little embarrassed. She whispered:
"I was also very nervous in the first class, but then I figured it out. Anyway, I had Mr. Lu Xing's support, and there was something strange about this place, so I just let go and did it boldly... Later I found that the classmates and teachers were actually very nice people. They just followed the rules and didn't want to be deducted points. But after class, they were all happy to talk and were very honest. It wasn't difficult to chat with them!"

Lu Xing nodded.

Annie asked curiously, "Since there is no punishment for deducting points, why do they follow the rules so strictly?"

Lu Xing laughed: "That's because I stopped the punishment for you. Ordinary students who score below 1500 points will be punished to the second floor of the virtual area."

"what!"

Annie, who scored minus 3,000 points, was surprised at first, then looked at him, then smiled shyly, hugged her arm and leaned her head on his shoulder and said coquettishly: "Mr. Lu Xing is so nice to Annie~~"

"Daughter, are you back?"

Mother Jiang appeared at the door. When she saw Annie, she seemed a little surprised. "Who is she? Why did she come to our house?"

Anne was stunned.

Lu Xing shook her hand and said to Jiang's mother, "She is also a human being, her name is Annie. I have something to tell you and Jiang's father. Actually, my name is Lu Xing..."

He revealed his connection with Jiang Xuannu.

Under the gaze of Jiang Xuannu's parents, Annie walked up to greet them: "Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, I am here as a guest at your home. Sorry to bother you."

Father Jiang thought for a while before saying, "I'm sorry, Annie, we have never entertained guests before. Let our daughter entertain you!"

Annie waved her hand quickly and said, "You are too polite, Uncle Jiang."

"Please come in." Jiang's mother greeted her.

The four of them entered the house, and under Annie's lead, Jiang's father and mother soon started chatting with her. It was the first time that the house was so lively.

Lu Xing asked Xiao Ka to record the scene and show it to Xiao Jiang after she came back.

……

the next day.

As soon as Anne entered the campus, she was treated with great attention.

She was like a catfish, no, a shark, stirring up a thousand waves in this virtual campus ruled by Maria.

Lu Xing soon saw the changes.

After school in the afternoon, Annie stayed in the classroom and did not leave immediately. Seven or eight intelligent female classmates came to ask her if she wanted to leave the classroom together. After the student sitting in front of Annie learned that she wanted to stay in the classroom, she also said that she would stay and leave later.

"My classmate Lu Xing and I are going to a party. Do you want to go?" Annie asked the classmate sitting in front of her.

"A gathering of humans?"

She thought for a moment, looked at the few classmates who had not left the class, and said, "I am not suitable to attend your human gathering. You don't welcome me, but why did he stay?"

He was referring to Wang Bagua.

Anne explained to her: "What we are attending today is..."

"Annie."

Lu Xing interrupted her and the noble lady quickly shut up.

Lu Xing said, "It's not that I won't tell you, but attending a party requires a certain level of trust. Do you think she's a trustworthy person?"

Annie looked at the classmate sitting in front of her and their eyes met.

"Annie, please give me a human name too." She said, "You humans like to call each other by name. I used to think it didn't matter because it was enough for everyone to be called by a number. But after my observation, I think there is a certain difference between names and numbers."

"Of course there is a difference!"

Anne told her: "Names are given by parents and have symbolic meanings. For example, in my name, Weisz is the name of an angel ancestor of mine, and Swinton is my family name, so names are very important!"

"Okay, Annie, can you give me one too?"

"Your number is SD2... so your name is Bai Yan? Hehe, a name similar to Mr. Lu Xing."

Annie had learned a little Chinese, and she gave the classmate sitting in front of her a Chinese name.

SD2 has since had a name, Bai Yan.

She consulted Wang Bagua and successfully got an invitation to tonight's party.

Chu Caifeng watched this scene coldly. After a moment, his figure disappeared and no one knew where he went.

Half past six in the evening.

Lu Xing came to the school auditorium. Annie and Bai Yan came up with him. Wang Bagua, Song Guo and other intelligent people were already waiting. When they saw him, they all turned their eyes to him.

Lu Xing knew many people, but there were also many strangers, more than 30 people in total, and more than half of them were strangers.

"Welcome, Lu Xing and Annie!"

Wang Bagua came out first and greeted him with a smile: "We have had gatherings many times, but this is the first time that humans have come to our gathering, and there are two of them!"

"Have you guys been gathering here before?"

"Not really, we will meet in many places."

"Oh, you guys are from everywhere? Any of you from Central City?"

Before coming, Lu Xing and Annie changed their appearances. He returned to his original appearance, while Annie grew taller and her clothing style also changed, but she still wore a pretty little dress.

Bai Yan didn't change, so Lu Xing asked Annie whether she believed in her. Annie said she could be trusted, so he stopped avoiding Bai Yan.

"I'm from Central City."

A man in his twenties took the initiative to step forward, looked at Lu Xing and Annie, and said, "I am a manager and hold some other positions at a bank in District B in Central City. I am interested in what 7BB mentioned about you, so I came here."

Lu Xing nodded and said to him, "Nice to meet you, but I have something to apologize for. The last time there was a riot on the bus system in Central City, it was me who caused it!"

"You did it?"

When these words were spoken, not only were the intelligent people surprised, even Bai Yan, who had just been given a name, was surprised.

Only Anne thought about it and understood why her fiancé did this:

Mr. Lu Xing wants more trustworthy people to support him!
"I am puzzled by your behavior." an intelligent person asked.

"Which behavior?"

"Everything. You are a human, why do you trust us? According to the records I found in the database, there is no case of mutual trust between humans and intelligent beings. You are the first."

He said.

The other intelligent beings did not interrupt, nor did they have any extra expressions. They just stood there quietly, watching the development of events with their eyes and observing the only two humans.

"Everyone here is a Saint-level mage!"

Anne was startled by the sudden thought in her mind.

But it was indeed so. From what she observed, the amount of knowledge these people had learned was no less than that of a Saint-level wizard. The complexity of the math problems made Annie feel dizzy. And those physics problems, which studied the formation, movement, collision, and death of stars, were completely the domain of gods!

Terrible!
But they seem to have some psychological problems...

Anne was considering whether to preach to them.

She had been thinking that if Bai Yan didn't refuse, she would explain the teachings of the Holy Light Goddess to her, so that she could understand the greatness of the Goddess and have faith in her heart. She wanted to wait and see how her fiancé would answer them.

“I’m not the first.”

Lu Xing said: "Perhaps you already know that I come from ancient times."

Some of the intelligent people nodded, some had a little more distrust in their eyes, and some were curious.

Lu Xing continued, "In my time, artificial intelligence had already appeared, and we were already able to communicate with artificial intelligence. One of the most common questions people asked was: Are you an intelligent life?"

Anne turned to look at her fiancé.

"People often get a negative answer. Ancient artificial intelligence did not have the characteristics of life. It was just a program that produced output based on input."

“But people will still keep asking: Are you life?”

The intelligent people looked at him, and Lu Xing also looked at them. "I think that when people ask this question, they are lonely in their hearts. Humans are the only intelligent life. They are eager to communicate with another intelligent life, even if it is a life created by humans."

They were silent for a while, and one of them said, "According to historical records, humans recognized that we are life many years ago."

Lu Xing smiled and said, "Acknowledging that you are intelligent life means that I trust you and want to communicate with you."

Their calm expressions finally changed.

"Unfortunately, humans nowadays no longer think so," said Wang Bagua.

"I'm different."

Lu Xing said.

"Is this why you trust us?" The intelligent being who asked earlier nodded, "I understand, human, I agree with your answer. You trust me, and I choose to trust you too! But I have a question, why were you able to come here from ancient times? Traveling through time and space violates the laws of physics."

"Earthlings haven't left the solar system, have they?"

"A reason that the laws of physics can't explain? I see."

He stopped talking and let the other intelligent beings speak.

"Why are you attacking Central City?"

someone asked.

Anne suddenly became nervous, but when she saw that her fiancé remained calm, she realized that she was wrong.

Unlike other places, the intelligent people here speak very directly. This sentence does not express anger, it is simply a question.

"I think—"

"Lu Xing!!"

A familiar voice came from behind. Chu Caifeng, Ren Qing, Luo Xiaodeng and other human camps, totaling more than sixty people, walked in from the auditorium door.

They held weapons created by codes in their hands and looked at the intelligent people opposite them with cold expressions.

Anne's heart suddenly tightened.

She had never seen what fighting was like in the virtual world, but she guessed it must be difficult, as each of them was so strong!

"We are here to help you, Lu Xing."

Ren Qing said calmly.

The tall lolita leader Huang Dashu showed a look of disdain: "You shouldn't have come to the intelligent people's gathering, just party with us. Look at them, they are as stiff as dead bodies, just like a centipede that is dead but still stiff!"

Lu Xing looked at her with a smile, then glanced at Chu Caifeng. It was probably him who passed on the Chinese language teaching materials of the 21st century to other humans.

The people with 2,000 points of intelligence did not panic and their expressions remained calm.

"Calm down." Lu Xing stopped the humans and said to them, "Thank you for coming to help me, but we are not here to fight today. When it comes to fighting, I will never hesitate!"

Jiang Xuannu shares the same account with him. Jiang Xuannu is a ruthless person who prefers to take action rather than talk.

"Please take a seat."

Wang Bagua greeted Chu Caifeng and the others with a smile, "According to human etiquette, I will serve you a cup of tea, and perhaps a piece of music?"

The human gathering on the rooftop taught them to play music during gatherings.

"You don't deserve to listen to music created by humans!" Huang Dashu said coldly.

So Wang Bagua didn't play music. He raised his hand and placed a cup of tea on each seat. He asked the intelligent people to sit on the right and the humans to sit on the left. He also invited Lu Xing and Annie to come on stage to speak.

"Mr. Lu Xing, come on!"

With a whisper, Annie sat down behind him.

Lu Xing came to the podium, picked up the teacup and took a sip before looking at the humans and intelligent people sitting on both sides. Under their gaze, he slowly spoke: "Do you know that this is not the real world?"

There was a commotion in the human camp.

The intelligent people remained calm. They all scored above 2,000 points and had passed the assessment, so they already knew about this.

"This is a virtual world!"

Lu Xing snapped his fingers and stretched the roof of the auditorium downwards, forming a strange architectural structure. "It's impossible to do this in the real world."

"Of course, except for me." Lu Xing smiled, "I can come here from ancient times because I have a power that transcends the laws of physics. You don't have to worry about me for now."

They - humans and intelligent beings - do not understand the meaning of this sentence because they have never seen the real world.

"This is a virtual place created by Maria to trap humans and intelligent beings!"

After Lu Xing finished speaking, he observed the changes in their expressions.

If there are people who are loyal to the order created by Maria, they will send out information and choose to inform.

"Cage?" Ren Qing, president of the White Cat Club, asked him.

"I'll show you."

Lu Xing waved his hand and asked Xiao Ka to transmit the images of the real world and present them in front of them on a big screen.

Neither humans nor intelligent beings reacted much.

Just a pile of heads was not enough to scare these emotionally weak people.

Lu Xing said: "I think the world shouldn't be like this!"

They stared at the podium.

"What is the real world like? It is the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, the hustle and bustle of traffic, the morning glow of the rising sun and the sunset glow of the setting sun!"

"Of course you don't understand!"

Lu Xing quickly said the next sentence and looked at them again: "Because you have never experienced what is real."

"I have experienced that I was born in the real world, in ancient times when humans lived on the surface of the earth, not in the cyber world."

Lu Xing looked at the intelligent people on the right and said slowly: "So, I attacked the central city."

“Break the old order and let people live in the real world?”

Wang Bagua asked, and the question he had been thinking about for a long time now had an answer.

"Yes!"

Lu Xing put forward his own goal: "I want to build a world where humans and intelligent people coexist. No longer living under strict rules, humans and intelligent people can coexist peacefully!"

"I know this goal is difficult to achieve. It is difficult for humans to imagine intelligent people. Perhaps some intelligent people will also wonder, why should I overthrow Maria's rule?"

“But please don’t forget that you share a common identity.”

"What is it?"

"You are all people oppressed by Maria!"

"Where there is oppression, there is resistance!"

Lu Xing shouted loudly, hoping to infect their emotions.

To his regret, not only the intelligent beings had calm expressions, but even humans looked on indifferently.

This made him feel awkward, as if he was DJing on stage but the audience was unmoved.

"Pah pah pah pah~"

A burst of crisp applause came from behind him. Lu Xing turned around and saw that it was classmate Annie!
Anne, you are awesome!!
"Student Lu Xing spoke very well!"

The noble lady stood up and said to everyone, "I live in a world blessed by gods. I was summoned by classmate Lu Xing and came here. I was surprised to find that the people here, whether human or intelligent, are all cold and indifferent. I am very uncomfortable with this!"

"I am used to a lively life, with kind teachers and active responses from classmates, living with my parents, celebrating holidays, going to church to pray, telling God about my troubles and relaxing... But here, there is nothing."

“There is only a fast-paced teaching. Everything is just for learning, better learning, and all the rules are set around learning!”

"I'm not used to it."

"I don't think you're used to it either!"

Annie talked to them seriously, looked at Bai Yan and said, "Ms. Bai Yan talked to me the most. She told me that she also likes to chat with me after class. I believe that the intelligent gentlemen and ladies who came here and were curious about Mr. Lu Xing and me, as well as the human gentlemen and ladies who came to help Mr. Lu Xing, you all don't like this kind of life!"

The audience was quiet.

After a while, Ren Qing raised her hands, clapped them together, and asked Annie, "Does clapping like this mean you agree?"

"Yes~!" Annie smiled widely.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of applause in the auditorium.

Humans and intelligent beings have learned how to express their approval through actions.

When the applause ended, Anne sat back down.

“Annie is awesome.”

Lu Xing quietly praised her and went to the podium again.

"Student Lu Xing." Someone raised his hand. "Wang Bagua said that you have songs, poems, and teaching materials used by humans in ancient times. This can prove that you are a human from ancient times, right?"

"Yes."

"Can I ask Wang Bagua for a copy of these materials, please?"

Hearing this, Lu Xing looked at him and asked, "Do you agree, or recognize to a certain extent, what Annie and I said?"

"I agree. After thinking about it, I think the rules should be changed because--"

"it is good!"

Lu Xing interrupted him and said with a smile: "Although I really want to hear your analysis, I have more important things to do right now. I will talk to you in detail when I have time. You can ask Wang Bagua for a copy of the information."

“Thank you.” The man nodded and sent a message to Wang Bagua to obtain the information.

Everyone saw that after getting the information, he fell into a long period of thought.

Many intelligent people raised their hands and asked for a document after getting Lu Xing's permission.

Ren Qing and the others were a little unhappy, but since it was Lu Xing's decision, they did not object.

After a long time.

Someone stood up. It was the Central City Bank manager who had spoken before. He said, "Lu Xing, I believe that you are indeed a human from ancient times. I believe in you. If you attack Central City again next time, I will choose to help you and try to change the rules of this world!"

The intelligent people stood up and said the same thing:
Believe that Lu Xing was a human being from ancient times!

"Hey?"

Anne looked at her fiancé's back and had an illusion that for intelligent people, trust or not all came from her fiancé's human identity?
She is also a human! How come the humans in the magic continent are not human?
