Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 1697 You'd better throw away your conscience

Shi Qianyue was somewhat confused as he digested the information in his mind. However, he did not have much time to digest the information. After their brains were mortgaged, they no longer had human rights. They were not protected by various human rights. Therefore, the rest time was very short, just to prevent their spirits from collapsing in a short time. This was for efficiency considerations, not for humanitarian considerations.

So he quickly carried out the second task, and this task seemed to verify what the person who had just briefly communicated with him said. His performance in the previous task was actually quite good. His performance in screaming was secondary. In this regard, as long as pain was given, basically everyone could express it.

His outstanding performance mainly lies in his self-expression of lines and his ability to adapt to changes in the battle stage. He makes good use of the terrain to support the game for a longer time. This will bring players a variety of different gaming experiences. Based on this, the system determines that he has the potential to perform more difficult tasks. So his task was replaced by playing the role of the pursuer of the heroine in an otome game.

The amount of memory implanted this time was obviously much less than the first time, and there was almost no additional overwriting. He had memories of his original personality.

Thinking of the person who missed him, he began to play this role, trying to play the role of a licker and a spare tire, trying to please the heroine, the player of this game, in various ways.

He only played a supporting role in the game, so he had no part in the real romantic scenes with the heroine, and he noticed that the male protagonist of this game was most likely played by someone like him. This was the first time he met a colleague in a mission, but he did not dare to communicate with him for fear of system punishment.

However, his fear of communicating does not mean that the male protagonist of this game does not dare to communicate. After leaving the player's sight, they have a certain amount of space to move freely. In the luxurious villa, the male protagonist of the game, with a face so handsome that it makes people drool, found Shi Qianyue.

"You're doing pretty well, kid! You're able to get a role like this that doesn't require you to endure hardships. Unfortunately, you're far from me. I'm a popular character who not only doesn't require you to endure hardships, but can also eat meat. As usual, we sign an agreement. If you hand over the unusual gains from this mission, I'll ensure that you pass this mission successfully. Otherwise, hmph~"

Shi Qianyue quickly realized what this person meant. The rewards issued after each task was settled did not have to be enjoyed immediately. They could also be stored as a currency similar to points and used when one wanted.

Therefore, in theory, although these people do not have human rights, they also have their own currency. And now they have encountered this guy, who is obviously here to take advantage of the situation. What kind of benefits these artificial intelligences can finally get depends on the final evaluation of them by the players. This seems to be the case for waiters, drivers, and deliverymen, who need to pay great attention to the evaluation of users, otherwise they may be deducted money.

The other party, who had become the male protagonist, could change the female protagonist's impression of him as a supporting role to a considerable extent with just a little free play. However, it was difficult for the two of them to deviate from the script set by the system. The supporting role only had so many scenes, and it was almost impossible for him to gain a higher position in the female player's heart than the male protagonist with such a small number of scenes. So his handle was indeed in the hands of the other party.

Shi Qianyue did not violently resist the system's rules. For those of them who have completely stayed in the virtual world, resistance is just asking for trouble. But he did not agree immediately. Instead, he thought for a moment and said, "Let's sign an agreement. If I perform normally and do not maliciously and passively slack off, and the final score reaches 80 or above, I can give you 10%. If I sign the agreement directly and pay this abnormal income, you can threaten me again later."

"Hmm? Interesting, you have a clear mind. It seems that you are also very unlucky in reality, which is why you have fallen to this point." Although he was taking advantage of the situation, the male protagonist obviously came to him based on the principle of making money in harmony. He quickly drafted a new agreement, and after both parties signed it, he said:

"Since you are so sensible, I will give you a few suggestions. In the future, if you try your best to perform well in similar tasks, I will not cause any trouble for you. If you want to have an easy life in the future, you must please the players. The higher the score given to you by the players, the higher the probability that you will be assigned similar tasks in the future. Try to deal with real people as much as possible. The closer the communication with customers, the better the treatment.

As for wanting to survive for a long time, you can follow my path and build your own character as well as possible. It would be best if you can induce players to post long comments in the game community and comment on your character.

In this way, in the future there may be other players who continue to choose your character like ordering dishes, and let you play this role. If you continue along my path, if you are lucky, you may become a virtual idol. Although there is still a risk of being laid off, this is already the limit of what we can achieve in this industry.

Also, next time you meet a senior like me, don’t bargain. I have a good temper. If I have a bad temper, I will raise the price to 20% when you make a request. If you dare to say one more word, I will raise it by another %. This is the experience I have gained through hard work. "

Shi Qianyue nodded and expressed his gratitude. At the same time, he silently remembered the experiences these people shared with him. It seemed that he was quite lucky. The people he met were relatively rational and had the desire to live. Before in the hall, most of the people he saw were just muddled through their days. They could just muddle through one day at a time, and it didn't matter if their consciousness completely disappeared.

The conversation between the two only lasted a short time, because the female player quickly found the male protagonist. The plot continued to advance, and the two soon entered an ambiguous room with pink lights, and began an indescribable plot.

After Shi Qianyue received the reward this time, the tasks assigned to him subsequently were indeed those that required more communication with clients. These tasks required a higher level of subjective initiative and could not be completed by simply implanting a set of memories. In fact, the difficulty was very low. Ordinary people could complete them very well as long as they paid a little attention. However, most of the people who could fall to this point could not even act with a little attention.

In the subsequent missions, Shi Qianyue played the role of an NPC in the game plot, responsible for teaming up with players and guiding them in the missions. This was relatively simple.

A slightly more difficult part is to act as a system elf. You have to act cute in front of players. When players want to uninstall the software, you have to plead with a pitiful expression, using the user's sympathy to prevent them from deleting it.

It was a bit disgusting for a man to play such a cute role, but for the sake of the task score, he chose to play it anyway.

During this period, they also received some simple tasks, which was to play games on behalf of others. Some games had insufficient number of people online at the same time to complete a round, and it would be easy for players to discover if bots were used to play. So they were asked to play on behalf of bots and pretend to be gamers.

The most difficult task he received during this period was to play the role of a dead person. This task also made him understand why the person he met before told him that he needed to be cruel to himself and others and to abandon his conscience when performing the task.

The situation is like this, he plays the role of a father who died as a migrant worker. This girl has a father who loves her. Although her family is far worse than those in the upper city, it is better than the most depraved people, so she has experienced the warmth of a normal family. But accidents can happen at any time. The girl's father died in an undisclosed accident, and the girl was found by an agent, who promoted the electronic cemetery business.

The so-called electronic cemetery business is to scan the face of the deceased, make 3D models, collect the data of the deceased during his lifetime, collect memories, build a personality model, and create a virtual character so that people can see their deceased relatives.

This was originally a service full of humanistic care, allowing people to see their deceased relatives. It should have reflected the great side of artificial intelligence technology. However, when this technology was commercialized and controlled by capital, it became a commodity that exploited human weaknesses. The more you value family affection, the more you will be controlled by this commodity. The relationship between the girl and her father was obviously very deep. Even though her income was not very high, the loss of her father made the family even worse. She still took out a large sum of money and bought the highest-standard electronic cemetery service. Little did they know that the higher the standard of the electronic cemetery service purchased, the deeper they would fall.

If she purchased a low-level electronic cemetery service, it would be just an ordinary artificial intelligence. To simulate the appearance of her father and talk to her, such artificial intelligence might make her feel satisfied at the beginning, but after a long time, the difference between it and a real person would be identified. Eventually, it would be gradually abandoned, and she would recognize the reality that the deceased was gone.

But if he chose the highest-level electronic cemetery service like this girl, then the one playing his father would no longer be an artificial intelligence, but a living person implanted with a large amount of his father's memories, that is, a tool that Shi Qianyue and others had completely sold themselves into.

When Shi Qianyue saw the girl, he thought about playing his role well, and it would be a good thing for her to meet his father. When he saw the girl's eyes filled with tears and she came to hug him, he almost instantly got into the role and hugged her.

"Don't cry, little Ye. Daddy is back. Daddy has always been by your side and will never leave you. Whenever you miss him, you can come here to see him.

Don't cry, don't cry, think positively, daddy won't need to work anymore, just enjoy life here, it's enough, but you still have to work hard outside, alas, daddy is useless, there is no way to protect you from the wind and rain in the future. "

The girl called Xiao Ye couldn't control her tears after hearing these words and buried her head deeply in his arms.

Shi Qianyue hugged the girl tenderly and stroked her hair, just like a real old father. He couldn't help but feel a little relieved. After playing so many roles, this time finally gave him a sense of accomplishment. He finally did something good instead of becoming a part of other people's gaming experience.

However, the reason he had such a sense of accomplishment was entirely because he did not understand the true face of capitalists and how ugly capital could be in order to make money. Just when he had just felt a sense of accomplishment, the system in his mind sent him a message that made him feel cold.

"Customers are induced to purchase value-added services. The more services they purchase, the more rewards they will receive. Failure to meet performance requirements will result in penalties."

At the same time, a large number of value-added services were listed in front of him. In ancient times, a large number of burial objects would be buried with the kings and nobles after their death. Even later, when this custom was gradually abandoned, the custom of burning paper money was still retained.

This is people's simple fantasy about the afterlife, hoping that their deceased relatives will not be hungry or cold in the afterlife. This is a good wish for the dead and a comfort to the living. But once these loopholes in the mind are exploited...

A cold wind blew through the virtual world, and the thinly dressed father and daughter shivered at the same time. A product interface popped up in the girl's field of vision.

"It's cold and windy, do you want to buy a cozy cottage for your father? Electronic Cemetery is affordable, and now you can enjoy 12% off on the purchase of the virtual mansion package."

Shi Qianyue could also see this interface, and saw the girl's hand was about to click on the purchase interface. As long as the girl chose to buy, he would be able to complete the task target...

"No! Ye Zi, you should spend your money in reality. Dad is fine here alone. I didn't leave you any savings when I was alive. How can I let you continue to spend money after I die?"

His words seemed to have the opposite effect. The girl decisively clicked the purchase button and said with tears in her eyes, "Dad, don't say anything. When you were alive, you gave me almost everything. The price of a luxury house here is less than one ten-thousandth of the price outside. Why should I be reluctant to give it up?"

Seeing that the girl was still going to buy it, Shi Qianyue finally got anxious and was about to blurt out: "I'm not your father, I'm just..." But before he could finish his words, the intense pain made him feel dizzy. The system directly imposed the most severe punishment for this violation, forcibly kicking his consciousness out of this space, and the artificial intelligence took over the control of this body.

When he woke up again, Shi Qianyue was lying twitching in a pure white space. The last scene in his mind was the girl pressing the purchase button, paying almost her monthly income in reality.

In the pure white space, Shi Qianyue pounded the floor with anger and helplessness: "Why! Why are you treating her like this! You are killing people! Murder!"

No one responded to him. The system would not pay attention to the impotent rage of a tool. Shi Qianyue finally understood what it meant to lose his conscience. He would probably face more and more such dilemmas in the future. Just when he didn't know what to do, a system interface that transcended the limitations of the computer system popped up in his field of vision.

"The Spacetime Officer has issued you an order. Please report your experiences for the day."

Shi Qianyue: “…”

"System... let's... just wait and see!"
