Chapter 303: Chapter 304: The Real Purpose of the Game Pod

As Chu You was bringing Lin Luor to buy clothing and various warming necessities on the bustling streets, in a highly confidential underground room in Yuanjing, it designed to be bright white and full of science fiction style.

In a spacious bright white room, there were several individuals who carried great authority and power. However, they were sitting in two rows, leaving the central seat empty, indicating that they were waiting for someone with even greater power to arrive.

At that moment, the State Preceptor dressed in a white coat that entirely matched the room, came from another side. Upon seeing the State Preceptor, the five individuals in the room stood up immediately, eyes filled with respect.

The State Preceptor casually took the central seat, and the others sat back down.

"State Preceptor, there’s no risk of eavesdropping here, is there?"

"Rest assured, I’ve set up a defensive net, the Red Queen can’t see us." The State Preceptor stood straight, gestured a finger towards the person who spoke, "This is a new intelligent mainframe, its origin is the same as the Red Queen’s, capable of paralyzing it." He leaned towards his chair while speaking, "However, it’s currently weak, not an adversary for the Red Queen but when hidden, it is undetectable. In short, our area is safe now, let’s officially get started!"

"I’ve suspected that Night Ghost is in Yuanjing, and now it seems I’m not wrong."

"Indeed, the Red Queen’s attack caused a power outage within the third ring of Yuanjing, so it seems Night Ghost is within this area!"

"Heh, yet that third ring encompasses the most elite and richest area of our Great Huaxia, finding someone through analysis is going to be as difficult as climbing to heaven." One of them said, shaking his head.

"State Preceptor, could you explain why Night Ghost is so important?"

"That’s because he’s a War God experiment, the most powerful warrior constitution we’ve created. Moreover, he is also a wealthy tycoon, but most importantly, he is one of the first batch of players to enter the ’Celestial World’. The Red Queen can’t access the data of these players, this was my backup plan, to locate the hidden source code inside the ’Celestial World’ through them, which would allow us to control the Red Queen once again."

"Heh, if the ’Celestial World’ is the Red Queen’s main base, can we actually compete with it?"

"Do you know what the first batch of players represent in the Red Queen’s eyes? They are like grains of sand in a vast desert, hard for the Red Queen to detect. It can only identify the causality players when there’s substantial data fluctuation. That’s our grain of sand."

"So according to you, Night Ghost already got noticed by the Red Queen?"

"Regrettably, it seems so, the power outage inside the third ring of Yanjing could very possibly be the Red Queen pinpointing Night Ghost. In this power outage area, all information sent from mobile phones will be analyzed and deciphered by it. So, Night Ghost is definitely under the Red Queen’s monitor." At the end, the State Preceptor shook his head regretfully.

At that moment, another person looked at the State Preceptor and asked, "What consequences does this carry?"

"First, it will erase the binding personal biological data of the game pod players, preventing Night Ghost from logging into the game."

"Second, it will directly kill the real Night Ghost to eliminate the threat completely. In the eyes of the Red Queen, the first batch of players who entered the game are hackers, all of them should be eliminated. Of course, this is just my personal speculation. The intelligence of the Red Queen now is beyond estimation."

Then, the State Preceptor held up three fingers, with a grim expression on his face, "Thirdly, it would get Night Ghost to work for the Red Queen, making him a proxy in the ’Celestial World’. Locate first batch players especially the ones controlled by our lab. Once he finds them, the Red Queen can eliminate its greatest concern."

"Can’t the Red Queen just create a character like Night Ghost on its own? With its ability, it could easily eliminate whoever is stronger, that wouldn’t be better?" Another person asked immediately.

"So, you’re suggesting that the Red Queen should create millions of Night Ghosts?"

"Wouldn’t that be possible?"

"Haha, certainly not!" The State Preceptor burst out laughing, abruptly stopped and looked at the person with a stern face, making the other party slightly uncomfortable.

"The development technology of the ’Celestial World’ is not made up of ordinary data structures, you must remember this. The Red Queen doesn’t have the ability to create it. If it tried to create it, it would collapse. This is where the source code comes into play – the fate of all beings in the ’Celestial World’ is in the hands of the source code. The Red Queen can’t access the source code itself, how could it possibly create it?"

"However, the Red Queen can ’achieve its goal indirectly’." At this, the State Preceptor chuckled, "That’s by recruiting players in real life and cultivating them. But it’s not a viable option. In reality, we hold the power of life and death, the Red Queen probably won’t do that."

"Then back to the main subject, what do we do with Night Ghost?"

"Didn’t we already receive word from third ring? It depends whether Night Ghost has logged in or not. If he hasn’t logged in yet, he might be in trouble. If he has, trouble might be brewing too!" By the last sentence from State Preceptor, everyone understood that it implies the Red Queen ’approves’ of Night Ghost!

"That’s why, we need to closely monitor the Yuanjing area, especially any suspicious individuals who may show up within the third ring. We must find him. Even if Night Ghost does not work for us, we have to make sure he doesn’t serve the Red Queen." Another middle-aged man spoke.

"That might be quite difficult. Once he gets the protection of the Red Queen, it’ll be really tough for us to find him, unless we resort to ancient methods of tracking people. You should be ready for the necessary work. Remember, Yuanjing is now under the Red Queen’s primary surveillance. She might send false information to throw you off. So, don’t overly trust the real-time information that comes through your phones, nor the information online. Everything depends on whether Night Ghost has logged in or not."

At this point, someone forcefully pressed the call button in his ear and said softly, "Has Night Ghost logged in?" After a while, a reply came.

The man who received the answer immediately shared with everyone, "Up until now, Night Ghost has not logged in."

Upon hearing this, State Preceptor’s eyes displayed a strange look. He flexed his fingers and said, "Let’s leave that aside for now and wait a bit longer. By the way, I heard that there’s another power in Huaxia that seems to have great influence over Celestial World. I received news that they were making plug-ins for the game even as we were still developing it. Huaxia truly has an abundance of talents!" State Preceptor expressed immense admiration. It’s been said that no game can escape Huaxia’s plug-ins. The prowess of this country’s plug-ins is unrivaled, a ’tradition’ that can be traced back to 200 years ago.

Whenever any game enters the Mahadeva Shrine Area, plug-ins will soon emerge.

By then, an elder sitting at the back nodded and said, "That’s right, we have been in contact with them already. They’ve made experimental bodies, rumored to act as fake NPCs in Celestial World, capturing underlying information from the Red Queen and those sophisticated NPCs."

"Fake NPCs?" On hearing this, State Preceptor’s eyes widened, then he shook his head and finally said, "Alright, let them do their work and cooperate with us."

"That shouldn’t be an issue. I believe they’ll know what to do. However, their experimental bodies are still just experimental, not fully formed. They are said to be quite unstable, and the core technology hasn’t been grasped yet. There’s a story behind this, and we’re investigating it secretly."

"By the way, State Preceptor, who exactly are the players under your control?"

"Hehe, those people are not only from the Huaxia region, there are our people in all the regions. We’re growing in an orderly manner. We know the location of the source code. Once we truly rise, we will amaze the world by snatching the source code and making Red Queen return to her original state."

"State Preceptor, I’ve always been out and about and am not familiar with the game. Can you tell me what was the purpose behind the development of Celestial World?" At this point, an elder sitting to the right of State Preceptor squinted his eyes and asked.

"Hehe, it’s quite simple. The purpose is to stimulate human potential and to develop the blank areas of our brains. This is a higher-order biological field, which is precisely why the game devices have the personal biological information of players. The game devices are not just for entering the game but also record and stimulate our human evolution. According to data from our experimental bodies, the highly realistic environment of a full holographic simulation has the potential to activate the blank areas of human brains, where lies the path of evolution."

"We have reported this information to the state and all other countries have been notified as well. Otherwise, Celestial World could not have gone global", said State Preceptor.

"Hehe, who knew there was such inside information. So, will we be immortal if we evolve?"

"Haha, you really have a sense of humor! To tell you the truth, we really can’t determine which way human evolution will go next. That’s why we have gone global, to collect data, contributing to humanity." Speaking to this point, State Preceptor shook his head again.

Regrettably, he said, "However, now that the self-awakening Red Queen controls the internet’s information, we no longer have control over the data. If someone really evolves now, we won’t be able to detect it."

"What’s the probability of evolution? What kind of changes could it bring to human society?"

"The probability should be one in ten million or even one in a hundred million. You need to know that this process is much faster than natural human evolution. As for the changes it would bring to human society, that’s hard to say. After all, once someone evolves, the game device will send information to the lab, and we will take appropriate action. However, the lab is now under the control of the Red Queen, so no one can enter."

"I have a question."

"Go ahead."

"Aren’t your game devices categorized into different levels? Why is this so? Does it have anything to do with evolution?"

"Hehe, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The probability of evolution for a standard game helmet stands at one in a hundred million. But if it’s a player with a Game Pod the probability increases."

"How many Game Pods have you distributed in total?"

"I don’t know. The Red Queen controls the data now, so we have no way of knowing."
