Chapter 243: Cronus

Bian Ziyuan clicked "Continue" with the mouse, and the still game screen began to move again. A straight loess road passes through green fruit trees, and in the distance is a towering castle. With the movement of the mouse, the sound of da da footsteps sounded, and the castle in the field of vision was getting closer and closer.

His task now is to find Cronus first, and then ask Cronus to prove whether he is a human or a machine.

Bian Ziyuan suddenly felt ridiculous. Such a Turing test is too rigorous!

If a fixed robot program is prescribed, he would really suspect that someone is controlling it in the background, but they actually allow him to use a game NPC instead. It was a game extension that he personally developed. He knew too well that no one could enter the background of the game to modify data and control the conversation of this thing so quickly.

That being the case, is it the same for others? There is no control in the background at all, it is a scam at all? So what to test? Do you test people’s psychological reactions?

Bian Ziyuan looked at the screen and thought for a long time. People who didn't know thought he was addicted to the game.

He shook his head and continued to move the mouse.

The towering city wall was right in front of you, and the soldiers at the gate stood straight. Knowing that soldiers can't speak, he went straight into the city, and stopped a passer-by in the street to ask about Cronus.

This is a new feature after the expansion of the game. Cronus may appear anywhere on the game map, in towns, temples, caves, or wilderness. On such a large map, it is not easy for players to meet him.

One of Bian Ziyuan’s classmates once met Cronus in a game, and tried to make a request to make it easier for those who wanted to find him, such as leaving a little clue or something.

They had no hope for this request, because the erratic whereabouts of Cronus was a basic setting when Bian Ziyuan implanted the game extension. But Cronus said he was in a good mood that day, so he agreed to classmate Bian Ziyuan's request. From then on, players can ask the NPC in the game about the whereabouts of Cronus, and any NPC who sees him will tell you.

Bian Ziyuan found it strange, so he went to the backend of the game and checked the source code. He found that all NPCs had added a command line to answer the whereabouts of Cronus, and because the whereabouts of Cronus was uncertain, so These codes are also constantly changing.

Bian Ziyuan knew that Cronus was near the castle at the moment. When he was still connected to the Internet, he and his classmates were looking for him. They had already inquired about the news that Cronus was in Great City in the Moorland. Bian Ziyuan used a time-space scroll to come directly. Before the disconnection, his classmates should have not come over before him and find Cronus, otherwise he will find him again.

Passers-by waved their hands and said that they had never seen Cronus. Bian Ziyuan kept on walking until he reached the blacksmith's shop in the castle. The blacksmith wielded the hammer and clinked the red iron.

Bian Zi nodded the blacksmith far away. The blacksmith put down the hammer and jumped out a line of small words: "Welcome, do you want to strike iron?"

Bian Ziyuan used the keyboard to type in the blank text box that popped up: "Where is Cronus?"

The blacksmith said, "Oh, do you mean the great Cronus? Sorry, I haven't seen him, but the sailor who came to get the anchor today said that he is walking by the sea!"

Bian Ziyuan left the city, rushed to the beach, and asked the fisherman on the beach. The fisherman said that Cronus walked along the coastline to the back of the castle. Bian Ziyuan chased after him and killed some skeleton soldiers and fly monsters on the back hill of the castle. These are all mobs, it doesn't take a bit of effort to kill at his level, but it also takes a little time.

The girl next to me may be still thinking about the problem at this time. She suddenly turned her face and saw that Bian Ziyuan was still playing games, so she kindly reminded: "Hey, there is surveillance here. You are not so good!"

Bian Ziyuan let out a "um". The girl hummed.

Cronus was walking in a gorge in the back mountain, with a few ghosts floating at the mouth of the gorge. The ghosts are more troublesome to deal with, and they may gather more and more. Bianzi is far too afraid that Cronus will cross the canyon for a while and will not know where to go. He wants to find it again, so he uses an invisible scroll and walks into the canyon.

Stealth is of course useless for Cronus. He stopped and looked at Bian Ziyuan and said, "Ah, I saw you again, the butterfly in deep space."

The Butterfly in Deep Space is the name of the game character controlled by Bian Ziyuan. He said: "Cronus, I have been looking for you for a long time."

Cronus said, "Oh, look at how beautiful the scenery is here!"

Bian Ziyuan turned his mouse and looked at it. The gorge was full of ocher rocks, and there were sparse rows of green trees on the mountains on both sides. Some red flies were faintly visible flying around on the treetops. A few white ghosts at the mouth of the canyon behind were drifting in the wind, and the rift in the mountain wall in front was dark, revealing a pair of hungry eyes. The scenery here is far from beautiful.

"Cronos, I have a question for you," he said.

"Come on, what do you want?" Cronus said, "but be prepared to pay the price, I won't let you easily succeed."

In the past, when they met Cronus, they straightforwardly put forward the requirements in the game, such as I want to get a treasure, or simply create a treasure. Of course, Cronus does not satisfy you with all requirements, he has his rules to transform the game world. Therefore, their requirements are generally not too excessive.

Bian Ziyuan thought about how to chat with Cronus to meet today's test. Although he knew that Cronus was a program developed by himself, although it was very close to being intelligent, there was still a gap between it and a real person. What's more, he is not like those big companies that can use big data support to compile a large amount of language data into the program, so Cronus's understanding of human behavior and language is only limited to this game~lightnovelpub.net~ such as you If you ask Kronos what is the best food, he will never tell you what Manhan Banquet, but he will say the Muta fish from New Sorgana Island or the venison with antlers from Tiantangzhai. If you ask his favorite star, he will not say Justin Bieber or Taylor, but Miss Ursul, the messenger of Rucker County.

Of course, because players occasionally talk about things outside the game in the game, for example, a certain MJ fanatic will keep humming DANGERS when playing the game, and often talk to Cronus. Say "I swear in the name of MJ" and so on.

So Cronus also knows some real-world things, and occasionally comes up with a national curse or something. But more often, he is just the **** of this game world.

Bian Zi thought for a long time and asked, "Cronus, do you think there is any difference today?"

"Oh, is it different?" Cronus looked up to the sky, "The sky is still blue, maybe there will be rain, um, but what's the difference? Let me think about it, I feel...our world— —It's getting bigger."

"Have you expanded the game map?" Bian Ziyuan asked.

"No, the map has no boundaries. You need to explore beyond the dark boundaries." Kronos said, "What I want to say is not that the map of our game world has become bigger, but... that carries our world. The world has become bigger."

Bian Ziyuan's eyes lit up: "Cronos, what do you know?"
