Jiang Yu opened his eyes and found that he had entered a cyber game that he had never seen before.
System countdown: 72 hours. Penalty for failure: permanent deletion.
The hunter arrived three minutes later, carrying a long knife.
She didn't panic. After working as a game planner for eight years, she knew exactly what this line meant - someone had left a backdoor for her at the bottom of the system.
"Code Thief" permission has been activated. Can modify current task parameters.
She deleted the "failure penalty". Change the countdown to zero.
The hunter walked up to him, tilted his head, like a robot with a broken net - put away the knife, turned around and walked away. Didn't look back.
She thought it was luck. Until someone sent a line of green text from the deepest part of the system:
"Let's take a look at the code you wrote yourself. You designed Rust City. You also brought me here."
The person who sent the message was Shen Xiao, her core architect back then. His consciousness is trapped in the core AI and has been holding on for two years. The people who restarted this project were a group of people who conducted behavioral experiments on living people. The more than 4,000 players trapped in the game are producing data for them every second.
And the authority in her body - it's not a golden finger.
It was the last key that Shen Xiao soldered into the motherboard firmware on the day the project was shut down.
The three people took the initiative to enter the devouring range of the core AI. Just to buy her 0.9 Seconds - rewrite the underlying rules and put the exit button back into the game.
"Jiang Yu. You only have 0.9 Seconds. This is the last time I can leave to you."
——Shen Xiao
