As expected, Nasita was surrounded by some incomprehensible floating windows, which were densely populating with various things.
It seems there was more than just Silver Wolf nearby—there was another person—Lei Movie.
"Hey, Ying, what are you doing here?"
"Bai Zhi, you're here. I'm here because Naxida is trying to mess with the NPCs in that game. She's not very good at the behavioral logic of them."
"So she dragged me here, hoping I could help design the character's behavior patterns and intelligence."
"You can do this too??"
Bai Zhi sat down between Yin Lang and Ying with some surprise and asked curiously.
"She's really good... Did she study artificial intelligence before? It seems like her expertise in personality simulation is much better than mine."
Silver Wolf's expression was complicated. She had initially thought that Ying was a country girl that Bai Zhi had brought from some other world.
After all, Ying's innocent eyes had a kind of beauty that hadn't been tainted by knowledge.
Just as she had imagined at first, there were many things she didn't know, and she even helped teach her some things, which perfectly matched her impression.
But today, as Nasida continued editing her dream, she said she wanted to create intelligent NPCs.
She also offered some of her own Prometheusian logic, hoping it would help the other party.
But the final edited version can only be an NPC... how to put it, it's more like an AI, with good and powerful abilities, but it just doesn't feel human.
Lei, the movie critic, volunteered to help.
The result astonished her; the other party was a true expert in artificial intelligence, or more accurately, personality simulation.
"Look, this is what we just created. It was extracted from a memory, a memory of the former Grammer Knights. Nasita used shadow technology to give this simulated Knights personality."
"The Grammer Cavalry??"
"Is there anything strange about it? There are actually quite a few memories related to the Grammer Iron Cavalry, because the Grammer Republic created these Iron Cavalry and defeated the remaining swarms of insects with their endless numbers."
Silver Wolf shrugged.
"There are a lot of Iron Cavalry, and a lot of memories left behind. Besides, we need to create a layer of game dreamscape, so these Iron Cavalry would be a good choice as guard NPCs."
"They were created to defeat the Zerg, so I'm considering whether to use the Zerg as the opponent for these NPCs."
Chapter 527 Dreaming of playing online with Pinocchio.
"Aren't you sure Liuying won't have any objections to this?"
Bai Zhi wiped her sweat. Using someone else's comrade's memories as an NPC felt a bit strange.
"Tsk." Silver Wolf gave Bai Zhi a meaningful look. "You really know a lot."
Bai Zhi paused for a moment, then her gaze drifted elsewhere before she retorted, "Ahem, you mentioned Firefly and Sam."
"But I never said they were the same person, bro. I'm really curious about your secret~"
Silver Wolf grinned and placed his hand on Bai Zhi's body.
"Haven't you heard that curiosity about secrets is the first step to falling in love? So don't be curious."
"Tch, I won't get caught up in that kind of emotion. Haven't you heard the saying that women only affect the speed at which you draw your sword? As a gamer, discarding such useless things is the key."
Silver Wolf paused for a moment, then said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to deal with these things. But actually, making the Grammer Iron Cavalry won't make any difference."
"Perhaps Firefly would prefer to see her former comrades-in-arms reappear in the world."
"You may be right, but I feel that it's better to just abandon the hellish operation of sending our comrades to fight bugs and instead set up these cavalry to patrol in various places."
"The logic and such here will have to be implemented by the shadow."
Bai Zhi looked at Ying, who nodded slightly.
“That’s no problem. Creating personalities is a very simple thing for me,” Shadow said confidently.
Whether it was the initial stragglers or the later generals, it was all very successful experience for her, and writing action logic and thinking was a piece of cake.
How do you know this technology?
Silver Wolf couldn't help but be curious. In her opinion, Ying's speech and actions didn't seem to come from a technologically advanced world.
"It's just a bit of divine technology. In Shadow's world, she was a pioneer of mechanical ascension."
That being said, some of the gods' technologies do seem a bit unbelievable, such as Narcida's void system and Shadow's puppet technology.
"Let's start by creating a character from the Grammer Cavalry, Bai Zhi. Would you like to try immersing yourself in that role?"
A green light shimmered in Nasita's hand as endless memories gathered within it. Following the method provided by Shadow, she first created a physical form and related abilities within a dream.
"Put yourself in their shoes?"
Bai Zhi looked at Naxi Da with some confusion.
“Well, as long as you don’t resist, I can send your will into this created Grammer Iron Cavalry.”
"This is the branch access in the game character system that Silver Wolf provided me. It's like you can become a Grammer Knight in the Dream."
“Through the information provided in the memory, some of the power that was once there can be unleashed.”
Nasita gave a detailed explanation.
Bai Zhi nodded in understanding. She roughly understood that the dream world Naxi Da was creating was a game world.
Then there's a job system inside, which is normally for ordinary jobs, but as an administrator, you definitely have some special privileges, such as using NPC costumes and skills.
"Go and try it out. I also participated in the development of the game system. We'll spawn some monsters for you, so you can test if there are any bugs in this game mode."
Silver Wolf continued.
"No problem, I'll give it a try. I'm really curious about what it's like to be a Grammer Knight."
Bai Zhi didn't reject the test, after all, such a fully immersive experience was quite rare.
Moreover, this dream game layer can't possibly be like Sword Art Online, trapping people inside the dream and preventing them from getting out.
"Okay, don't resist..."
As soon as Naxi Da finished speaking, Bai Zhi felt Naxi Da's finger touch her head.
At the same time, a guiding force erupted, attempting to direct her consciousness to a certain place.
Bai Zhi stopped the horse talisman from taking effect, allowing Naxi Da to guide her thoughts, which gradually began to drift away.
After a long while, Bai Zhi slowly opened her eyes and looked at her body. The silver-white armor and the tall, unfamiliar gaze made her realize that she had indeed become a member of the Grammer Iron Cavalry.
Moreover, she could sense something strange, like instinct, telling her how to control the mecha.
"This loading time is really long... If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a cross-server online game. Shouldn't this be optimized?"
Bai Zhi stretched her arms and legs while complaining.
However, when she looked up, she froze and blurted out a sentence.
"Where did this come from? Is this still the Dimensional Nexus?"
Because right in front of them, the giant Sulex statue was constantly spewing out Sulex beverage.
The dazzling, decadent scene around her, and the many people passing by, made Bai Zhi realize something.
This must be a dream within the golden moments of Pinocchio.
"Could it be because it's in the same galaxy that this dream world is online? No wonder it took so long to load, it's cross-server."
Bai Zhi was a little confused, but something that appeared in her line of sight silenced her completely.
The top left corner of the screen displays LV50 and the class is Grammer Knight.
At the same time, those who walked by also gained a health bar above their heads.
Angelica: …
Oh no, the people of Pinocchio have all turned into monsters with health bars.
"Hey, you in armor, have you registered with the clan?"
A shout interrupted Bai Zhi's thoughts. She turned around and saw a staff member from the hound pedigree wearing a tag around his neck.
The other person was looking at Bai Zhi with a suspicious expression.
Lately, too many people have been trying to illegally immigrate to Pinocchio. Many poor people, despite having no money, still like to come from all sorts of bizarre places.
He has already caught several illegal immigrants.
You stinking outsider, you've come to Pinocchio to beg for food, and you actually think this is your dream place?
The man in the silver-white armor in front of him would definitely leave a deep impression if he had registered, but he just didn't remember him at all.
This means that this guy might be an illegal immigrant.
As a member of a hunting dog family, I must bring the other party to justice!
"I'm asking you, answer me!"
The hound family's security personnel frowned. "If you don't speak up, I'll have to use force."
Anyway, these illegal immigrants have no human rights, so we might as well just dump them in some place and imprison them.
Chapter 528 Oh no, I've become a Grammer Knight!
"Ouch, who bumped into me?!"
The staff member from the hound family cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground.
Bai Zhi felt as if someone had grabbed her hand and was pulling her toward a certain place.
"Come with me!"
The girl's clear, sweet voice rang out.
Bai Zhi looked down and saw that familiar gray hair and the black and green dress.
Isn't this just like a firefly?
Seeing that the girl wasn't moving very fast, Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment, then quickened her pace, closing the distance with Liu Ying, and then reached out to pick her up.
Then, flames shot out from the armor's feet, carrying the fireflies as it flew towards a distant rooftop.
"boom!"
The sound of the armor breaking the sound barrier rang out, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the spot.
This scene was directly observed by the hound family staff member who had just gotten up.
"If you're so capable, why did you try to smuggle yourself into Pinocchio? Are you crazy?!"
After a long silence, he said something in a mix of speechlessness and anger.
Those illegal immigrants who come to Pinocchio to beg are mostly there for the welfare benefits, or they think they can live a life of luxury and extravagance.
It has neither strength nor knowledge.
Given the power that Bai Zhi just displayed, would it really warrant smuggling? Open and aboveboard actions would be more than enough.
Bai Zhi couldn't hear the angry complaints from the hound family member, because she was slowly landing on a beautiful rooftop while holding Liu Ying.
Bai Zhi squatted down and gently placed the firefly down.
"You... are a member of the Grammer Knights?"
As Liu Ying was put down, she looked at Bai Zhi's armor, which was exactly the same as hers, also Firefly Type IV, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
She had always thought that she was the only one left in the Grammer Cavalry.
But today, I unexpectedly saw a stranger wearing that familiar armor here again.
This gave her a glimmer of hope.
Perhaps one of your former colleagues is still alive.
Perhaps I won't be so lonely anymore.
Angelica: …
Seeing the expectant look in Liu Ying's eyes, Bai Zhi, who had originally wanted to tell the truth, could only slowly nod.
There's no way around it, fireflies are just too cute; it's too hard to resist them.
