Chapter 725: What Do You Think of Overdrafting?
Chapter 725: What Do You Think of Overdrafting?
"Village Chief, this is the fresh-squeezed juice I brought you from the neighboring village."
At night, Qin Muye came to the door with the juice. The Village Chief, upon hearing the first part of the sentence, was about to say something polite, but when he heard "fresh-squeezed juice" and saw what Qin Muye was holding, he was momentarily speechless.
Fresh-squeezed juice was definitely not something that existed here. It might exist in the outside world, but it would be a rare delicacy, something ordinary people wouldn't often have.
Such a small thing would definitely not be implanted into the logic of the village by the Three Officials Great Emperor. Thus, the Village Chief was momentarily stumped, but he recovered within ten seconds.
"Thank you, sir, please sit down." The Village Chief finally responded based on the keywords, and thus extended his hospitality.
Qin Muye, seeing this, naturally did not react much. After all, it was just the beginning, and the Village Chief's performance was actually quite good.
"By the way, Village Chief, what do you think about the dual king contest in Ameiliken?"
"Also, what are your thoughts on how the repeated disruptions of the Great Britain elder's resurrection have led to many guards being injured or killed?"
"Does the army have any unique insights due to the fact that the prince's ascension after seventy years has not resulted in the bestowal of the royal title?"
Qin Muye rambled on with a bunch of questions, which left the Village Chief somewhat bewildered, as he couldn't understand a thing.
"Ahem, sir, you have many insights, but this old man knows nothing about these major events outside." The Village Chief said helplessly.
"That's a real pity, they are all matters that would shock our allies." Qin Muye noticed that the Village Chief didn't get stuck, unsure if it was because the topics were too absurd or because they were just verbal musings without any physical involvement.
It was also possible that the Village Chief's logic had simply been improved.
After chatting for a while, Qin Muye realized that the Village Chief wouldn't be stumped, even when presented with things he had never seen before. The Village Chief would still get stuck, but the time it took to recover was gradually decreasing.
From the initial ten seconds, it had now dropped to just two seconds, indicating a conscious improvement and optimization.
For example, the Village Chief could skip over parts by using keywords or simply say he didn't know, to ensure the conversation flowed smoothly.
'So, I'm testing the Three Officials Great Emperor's logic and helping to refine it at the same time.' Qin Muye felt a bit annoyed, realizing that his actions had been detected by the Three Officials Great Emperor, who had turned the tables on him.
Fortunately, he stopped in time, otherwise, he would have become a tool for the other party.
After chatting for a while, Qin Muye decided to leave. This thing was improving very quickly. If he were to conduct more destructive tests, it would indeed cause the Village Chief's logic to become chaotic, but it would also increase the Village Chief's vigilance.
Qin Muye had no intention of doing that.
So, he could only temporarily take his leave.
As he left the Village Chief's house, Qin Muye noticed that something seemed off about the surrounding environment.
It had been fine just a moment ago, but now certain areas seemed to be covered in a layer of frosted glass.
'Is this an overdraft?' Qin Muye immediately thought.
The Village Chief's fluent responses came at a cost, drawing on the entire village's computational power.
'This thing is really unreliable.'
Qin Muye couldn't help but complain, but then he thought about it. Maintaining realism and ensuring logical consistency was indeed difficult.
For a real world, these things would be basic, but for a virtual and puppet world, it was extremely challenging.
'Spirit, indeed, is quite magical, transforming the static into the dynamic, using the false to cultivate the real.'
However, this was not a fundamental ability of spirit. It required reaching a certain level of strength. Otherwise, if it were possible to use the false to cultivate the real from the beginning, this system wouldn't have been so thoroughly defeated by the second-generation ancestor of Shu Mountain.
At least a 9th-stage level was needed to achieve these things. Snake Father could also do it, but he did so in a more passive way, evolving snake people after his death.
Since he used himself as the nourishment, it wouldn't be like the Three Officials Great Emperor starting from scratch. Instead, it would directly form a new life form.
If the Three Officials Great Emperor were willing, he could also do it, just by sacrificing himself.
But under normal circumstances, no one would do such a thing. Who would kill themselves for no reason? That would just be asking for death out of boredom.
The frosted glass effect only lasted for about two seconds. If it weren't for Qin Muye's keen perception, he might not have noticed it at all. Qin Muye guessed that if it weren't absolutely necessary, such a situation wouldn't have occurred.
‘Is the Three Officials Great Emperor's brain a bit off? I’ve been so reckless, yet his reaction is still normal. This is a bit bizarre.’
Qin Muye didn't know what to say. If it were him, he would have already subdued the person or simply stripped them of their protagonist aura and sent them away.
But the Three Officials Great Emperor remained calm, seemingly indifferent. Well, maybe he hadn't noticed anything unusual at all.
During those two seconds of overloading, Qin Muye intercepted a large amount of data. Since it was an overflow of abnormal data, just a few more friendly exchanges, and he could collect all the data he needed.
‘This thing is indeed powerful. With the data I have, I could modify it to create a virtual online game.’
‘Unfortunately, it’s just a game, not a player.’
Since this was all fake, the code and logic could be written by Qin Muye, but it would only be effective within a certain range. This was just a virtual world. If he wanted to borrow the fake to cultivate the real like the Three Officials Great Emperor, Qin Muye wouldn't do it. The resources required would be too much, and the cost would outweigh the benefits.
This was the process of achieving enlightenment. It wasn't possible to succeed with just a little bit of resources. The Three Officials Great Emperor had the confidence because he used a 9th-stage world as his foundation.
If Qin Muye hadn't interfered, the village might have already turned into a small town by now.
‘Tomorrow, I’ll find a way to exchange more data. After all, it’s a unique life form. But the Village Chief won’t do; his logic is too high, and his resistance to me has increased significantly, making it hard to cause data overflow.’
Other villagers might not have such high logic, but if he really caused their data to overflow, the harvest wouldn't be as rich as with the Village Chief. It would only be bits and pieces, but those bits and pieces would be enough. Lower difficulty would also save time.
Otherwise, after chatting with the Village Chief for almost an hour, he only had this much to show for it. The next time he talked to the Village Chief, who would have been updated with patches, it might take three to five hours to succeed.
After all, chatting with Qin Muye for an hour had helped the Village Chief fix many underlying logic issues.
Looking up at the sky, he saw the dotted stars and a bright moon hanging there. Of course, these weren't real; they were just images.
‘Last time, I noticed how fake this starry sky was, and it still hasn’t been fixed.’
‘At least change it from an image to a projection, so it can change daily.’
Daytime sun and clouds were actually projections that changed in real-time, but the stars and moon weren't. Using projections would probably consume too much, as they would need to move, and generally, it wasn't necessary.
For images and videos, it was cheaper to just hang up an image like a PPT. All that was needed was to import the image, without the need for editing or multiple variations like a video.
During the day, there were not only sunny days but also cloudy, snowy, and rainy days. As for the night, there wasn't much to it, as most people went to bed early, so it was more casual. At night, Qin Muye noticed that the entire village seemed to enter a low-power mode.
On the contrary, the village was unusually active at night, as if updating various patches and fixing bugs.
Thinking about it, the Three Officials Great Emperor was really a conscientious game developer, updating at night to ensure Qin Muye's experience. The poor programmers had to work during the day to monitor and prevent troublemakers like Qin Muye, and then work overtime at night to fix the issues left by such troublemakers.
‘I need to step up my efforts tomorrow. At this pace, I should be able to collect all the data and leave the day after tomorrow.’
Qin Muye realized he might have been a bit too harsh, otherwise, he wouldn't have collected the data so quickly.
‘Tsk, I talked too much unintentionally. No matter, it will be a good lesson for them.’ Finding a reason, Qin Muye instantly felt justified.
