There's something wrong with me

Chapter 189 Security Settings and Coverage

In less than two days, representatives from all sides arrived at Daxia.

The reception was left to Lao Liu and his team.

Zhang Feng then began 'editing the world,' which was a test of his computing power and a reflection on the knowledge he had gained during this period.

Also on this day.

As Xiaolou began to select suitable locations throughout the Land of Extraordinary Things.

Zhang Feng arrived at the top of the base and, under the protection of a group of special forces personnel, used his spiritual sense to connect with the main body of the virtual building.

next second.

Zhang Feng appeared in a blank space.

There is no landing point here, nor is there any distinction between up, down, left, or right.

This is a 'world that has been emptied'.

Previous test data, character models, and other information are all in the 'inventory' within the field of view.

The staff deliberately edited it into this format so that Mr. Zhang could use it more easily.

But to be honest, this combination of science fiction and cultivation is...

Zhang Feng found it very abstract and never expected it to be possible.

However, I can use this mental link to familiarize myself with the feedback from the 'virtual rules' over the past six months.

Thanks to the efforts of the staff, the rules within the virtual world are now very stable.

Just as I had thought before, as long as it is stable, it means that there are a lot more 'structural bases' in disguise.

Within his own spiritual vision, what appeared to be a blank space was actually a very stable array structure.

It's a pity I haven't learned the 'Spiritual Eye' yet, otherwise I could see that this world is full of 'runes'.

Of course, this is only something that one can see; even if others learn related spells like the Spirit Eye, they cannot see the 'essence' of this world.

Unless his spiritual strokes surpass his own.

That is, it has higher 'permissions' than the virtual building; otherwise, one can only see the normal virtual world.

Within the virtual building, one's own permissions are unlimited, allowing the use of all existing rules.

However, this experience of 'using all the rules' does not help one's knowledge.

Just like an ordinary person drawing a picture and creating the Earth, they can't suddenly become the creator.

Using a very high level of privileges is a similar concept.

It is simply a matter of creation without any explanation of the creative process.

This also reflects my own understanding of "knowing what it is, but not why it is."

In particular, the 'supreme rules' of the virtual world are themselves data.

For example, Zhang Feng looked at a large earth template and then projected it into the blank space.

A vast expanse of land, stretching as far as the eye could see, suddenly appeared.

It is entirely based on superconducting quantum data computation.

This is something you can't learn.

However, based on the stability of the surrounding runes and the stability of the earth, Zhang Feng was able to deduce the stability correlation within the rune structure.

This was achieved through the knowledge supplementation by scientists from various disciplines and the physical modifications made by staff to the superconducting runes, which enabled the final stabilization of the array.

It essentially represents the collective wisdom of all humankind in analyzing the structure of rune technology.

Even if they don't know rune technology, they haven't cultivated spiritual consciousness.

But this is exactly what Zhang Feng envisioned: to leverage the computing power of the superconducting quantum building and all of humanity's wisdom, ultimately using the virtual building as a medium to present the idea that "the stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade."

Then we can now deduce the 'stable array structure'.

Although it was a bit roundabout and expensive, the result was good.

Virtual technology, along with rune technology, can definitely take civilization to the next level.

Thinking.

Zhang Feng was not afraid of revealing his thoughts, nor was he afraid of the researchers in front of the instruments finding out.

Because they appear to be administrators, and they are closely monitoring the data in the virtual world.

However, since their spiritual awareness level is the same as the formation's, they cannot obtain their own thoughts.

Even ordinary people who come to the virtual world to play or train cannot have their thoughts heard by others.

In the virtual world, it is more of a presentation of 'motor response' on neurons.

When ordinary people are thinking, they are very likely not to move.

Because moving within a virtual world requires mental control.

However, subconscious movements do not count.

Just like in the normal world, people can think while walking.

It perfectly captures real-world behaviors and actions, though they can be a bit stiff.

For example, when you're thinking about something, you might walk in an unnatural, staggered manner.

This isn't a problem with the formation structure, but rather a problem with the players.

If a player has two spiritual thoughts, they can do things and think at the same time.

If it's just a thought, it will always be a little 'distorted'.

Of course, it would be correct to say that the technology is not advanced enough.

Current technology cannot achieve a perfect reproduction.

However, when ordinary people are thinking about big things and grand plans, they certainly cannot do some meticulous work.

For example, when fighting a life-or-death battle with zombies, the two sides are evenly matched.

A normal person can't be thinking about what to eat tonight or how to make braised carp.

Normal people focus more on combat, thinking about how to kill the enemy, and turning their thoughts into moves.

Therefore, Zhang Feng thought that it didn't matter that such a person would become unnatural and distorted when 'thinking'.

Because when it comes to serious matters of life and death, one must think and act simultaneously, so in a sense, the virtual world is natural and in line with normal logic.

If it's something insignificant, then a little distortion won't hurt.

After all, even normal people get distracted when they're thinking.

And through these judgments.

Zhang Feng also specifically identified the behavioral logic, so that after collecting all the players' information, he could better distinguish and organize it, as well as learn neurological knowledge.

Ultimately, the majority of knowledge comes from the various behavioral data of players.

Their every action in the virtual world, along with the corresponding detailed data in the background, constitutes specific neurological feedback.

It can also be described as a spiritual 'code'.

Theoretically, given enough code, a computing power lab could be capable of rendering true virtual reality.

When a major breakthrough in neuroscience occurs, it can also be fed back to the array structure, increasing the structural base.

With a large base, you can select useful information to optimize and add to your spiritual awareness.

This is a complete cycle of 'I build you, you build him, he feeds back to me, I optimize you again, you supplement him again, and he finally gives back to me in a significant way'.

It shares the same complementary concept as big data.

Cultivation is like a large-scale processing line that continuously optimizes itself.

……

Six hours.

Zhang Fengling had enough thoughts to create as he thought, and before he knew it, he had built the appearance of a huge city.

And in reality, inside the base.

In the virtual research hall, many people were writing programs and relaying messages back and forth.

"Mr. Zhang wants to release zombie number 1465..."

"Person No. 15648..."

"Optimization of café architecture".

"Unit: meters, coordinates: 1561, 91, grid unit: meters, deploy telephone booth!"

The group was compiling data to work with Zhang Feng to construct the virtual world.

For example, when Zhang Feng clicks on a building in his field of vision, they first extract data from the blueprint, and then the quantum computer performs the final processing and detail optimization.

A virtual building, complete with ten superconducting quantum buildings to assist it.

With powerful computing capabilities, everything can be guaranteed to run smoothly and perfectly.

at the same time.

Within the virtual world.

Zhang Feng then 'installed' another zombie on the street.

The entire city, with a population of over 200,000 and 500,000 zombies of '10-80' physique, is now ready to be deployed.

It was very quiet; everything was paused.

There wasn't even a breath of wind.

Zhang Feng looked around, walked over to a 'zombie leader with 80 bodies', and started the 'recovery program' on it alone.

There are fifty such leaders.

"Howl~"

The next second, a strong stench of decay filled the air.

This rotting zombie leader was so lifelike, with its torn muscle textures so realistic, that it was walking around Zhang Feng.

Then he suddenly knelt down, making a gesture of submission.

The reason for this is that, in data processing, Zhang Feng is their 'creator'.

'Not bad, pretty realistic, almost like zombies in a post-apocalyptic world.'

It showed a devout expression on its rotting face.

Zhang Feng felt it was quite realistic, but he wondered if its terrifying and realistic appearance would scare ordinary players.

When they enter the game, there will be options for blurring the field of vision and adjusting the pain level.

Even if someone seeks thrills and goes to 100% only to suffer a fatal injury, there is a protection system to disconnect them.

Then this would require a corresponding 'protective cabin'.

When a person is subjected to a fatal attack, there is a high probability that they will make defensive or retaliatory physical movements.

Given the sudden disconnection, there's a high probability that further actions will be taken in reality.

This needs protection, in case someone is playing at their computer desk and then suddenly disconnects due to a sudden jolt, resulting in them punching and smashing the computer.

This includes subsequent psychological treatment, as well as related aftereffects within the virtual world.

The planning department also provided an online treatment plan, with a completely virtual psychologist who can serve as part of the treatment and diagnosis.

Of course, if the treatment is ineffective, players can apply for offline treatment.

And to prevent some people from having problems without even realizing it.

The quantum building will also detect the player's behavior in the virtual world to see if it conforms to previous logical actions.

At least one of the player's family and friends will sign an observation agreement, which allows them to contact the relevant authorities if they discover anything amiss in the player's daily life.

While the convergence of virtual and real worlds represents a scientific leap forward, it is by no means safe.

Because it points directly to the most fundamental spirit of humanity.

Even a normal person can act strangely while playing a game, let alone something that's 100% realistic.

However, Zhang Feng also knew that the main problem was with the first world he had designed.

If it were a game like 'children playing house' with strict restrictions on player behavior, then there would be no problem.

But then, it wouldn't make any sense.

The world is already extraordinary, and there are so many martial artists around the globe, why bother playing house?

How about an enhanced version of 'Apocalypse: Resident Evil'?

……

Ten days later.

The virtual building in the Land of Extraordinary People has been assembled and tested.

Their reach extends to most of the city, and new virtual buildings are constantly being developed.

It is expected that the entire city will be covered in about a month.

And then, on the evening of that day, ten days later...

The virtual and real-world news, which had been kept under wraps for more than half a year, was finally released on the official website.

This same news item (on virtual versus reality) has also stirred up a storm around the world.

No one expected that virtual technology would emerge so quickly.

……

Liang Haozhi is an ordinary office worker.

Of course, he's not ordinary either, because his physique is 24.

In his earliest extraordinary period, he used his spare time to exercise.

Although the meridians have not been opened yet, and visualization has not been initiated.

But in the era before the extraordinary, with his physique and fighting memory, he was already a top-notch expert.

And this evening, three minutes after the news was announced.

"I go first!"

As always, he left a small company with only five people.

But as soon as the elevator reached the floor, I heard people around me excitedly discussing 'virtual reality technology'.

'What's this? ’

He didn't know what was going on because he rarely looked at his phone while walking.

Furthermore, I just got off work and finished a phone call with a difficult client.

All he wants to do right now is turn off his phone.

But hearing so many people talking about it, and hearing that it was news from the official website, he became curious, took out his phone from his pocket, and opened the news.

Just one glance, after seeing the news content and some virtual worlds about 'apocalyptic' scenes.

He was swept up in the same excitement as everyone around him.

'This...this is such a relaxing place...'

That was his first thought.

However, there are some conditions for obtaining a spot.

Alternatively, they might reside in the Land of the Extraordinary and have the authority to purchase 'virtual chips'.

Alternatively, you can apply to purchase a 'Special Merit Card'.

Furthermore, after purchasing the item, the official team will arrange temporary accommodation for the buyer within the Land of Extraordinary Beings.

He had heard of the place known as the Land of Extraordinary People.

Besides being the hometown of pioneers, it is also a world center where every inch of land is precious.

His monthly income of five thousand federal dollars, while not a small amount, was enough to buy him a street food meal compared to the Land of the Extraordinary.

A skewer of lamb costs seventy yuan, so you can buy more than seventy skewers.

As for the virtual chip, the officially announced price is not expensive.

Those with the Extraordinary Card only need 10,000 yuan.

The people of the Land of the Extraordinary require ten million.

It's completely polarized.

After looking at the price, Liang Haozhi pondered for a while before dialing a number he hadn't used in a long time.

Wait for the call to come through.

Liang Haozhi left the elevator area and came to the deserted fire escape.

"Dad, can I borrow your superpower card? I want to buy something."

His father was an outstanding employee in the province's large-scale superconducting project.

However, under normal circumstances, his father often travels for business or goes to other places for study.

Liang Haozhi also socializes every day, or he goes to the gym for a while after get off work.

Both father and son now have jobs and are doing their own things, so they rarely contact each other.

Therefore, Liang Haozhi's request for something this time felt somewhat awkward.

It's like he only remembers his father when something happens.

Especially something like the Extraordinary Card, which is generally not allowed to be lent out, his father treasured it like a precious gem.

"dad……"

At that moment, Liang Haozhi saw that his father hadn't said anything, so he called out weakly again.

"Oh, my apprentice had something to take care of just now," his father's voice came a moment later. "What did you say?"

“Yes…” Liang Haozhi looked at the peeling walls around him, and after mustering a lot of courage, he said again, “Supernatural Card…can I borrow it?”

"You want to buy chips?" his father asked, then smiled and said, "I've already bought them for you and had the staff send them to our home."

If you're off work, hurry home.

My Superpower Card has also been sent back.

The consumption in the extraordinary hometown is high.

With this card, you can eat for free at official restaurants.

If you want to buy it and make it yourself, you can go to the official supermarket.

I won't give you the money; I'm afraid you'll squander it over there and it'll be gone in just a few meals.

“Dad…” Liang Haozhi was stunned for a moment, and a feeling of great distress welled up in his heart.

He now finally understands what it means for 'Dad usually ignores him, but he can definitely handle things when it comes to important matters'.

……

That evening, I returned home.

After obtaining the chip and glasses encased in an alloy box, Liang Haozhi used his father's super card to book a 'floating train ticket' for the day after tomorrow.

The reason it's the day after tomorrow is because it's all sold out in the last few days.

As for high-speed rail, trains, and airplanes, they have all been sold out in the last half month.

The virtual and real-world technologies of the Land of Extraordinary People have attracted countless people's anticipation and a surge of visitors.

Even though many people don't have the equipment, they still want to go and take a look.

Because half a month later, on the day the virtual world opens, the scenes inside the virtual world will be broadcast live on the screens on the streets of the Land of Extraordinary People.

Although it will also be broadcast live online and on various TV stations.

But it's definitely not as good as seeing it in person.

Even though watching a virtual live stream in the Land of Extraordinary People is no different from watching it online, these people still feel like they are participating.

That's what these people are thinking.

Liang Haozhi used to enjoy watching game competitions live and seeing the big screen broadcasts, so he understood the feeling.

Is this considered getting a feel for the atmosphere?

He couldn't explain it, but he did it anyway.

……

Three days later, in the morning.

He arrived at the province's maglev station.

Overall, this station is similar to a regular train station.

But there weren't many people near the station.

Without the Superpower Card, the ticket costs two thousand.

Apart from the time when it was first built a year ago, when many people came to experience sitting on it, very few people usually sit on it.

Of course, this is neither a small nor a large number; at least it can ensure that each vehicle is basically full.

As the world continues to develop, people's incomes have increased.

For someone like Liang Haozhi, five thousand a month is just average.

Currently, industries such as heavy industry and construction, retail, and service industries like martial arts training are also involved.

Earning 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a month is not a dream.

Liang Haozhi, on the other hand, prefers to relax and enjoys martial arts, so he settled into a small company.

Although he only earns five thousand a month, with the Super Card, a train ticket only costs two hundred.

Furthermore, Liang Haozhi had heard his father say that once trains become widespread, people with the Super Card might be able to ride for free.

Ticket prices for ordinary people will also be significantly reduced.

……

Once we got into the car...

The overall design of the maglev train is similar to that of the high-speed rail.

But when he glanced at the passengers in the car, he found that many of them were either spirited martial artists or well-dressed elites.

Compared to others, he really is quite ordinary.

'Of everyone who went to the Land of the Extraordinary, it seems like I'm the only one who lost face...'

He shook his head, dismissing his thoughts, and sat down in his assigned seat according to the number.

Then, the announcement of the train's departure came over the loudspeaker.

He realized that the train seemed to be moving slowly after he looked at the receding scenery outside.

The maglev train's exceptional stability makes it impossible for passengers to feel its movement.

And then in the next second.

The scenery outside the window receded even faster, gradually becoming a blurry sight.

Liang Haozhi didn't feel any push-back sensation, but the speed had already reached 900 kilometers per hour.
