Chapter 525 - Gratitude
Chapter 605 of "Player Reload" starts revealing the story: The so-called villains live for a thousand years. Jokers, transcendent beings who donât care about... Donât miss it!
The so-called villains live for a thousand years. Jokers, transcendent beings who donât care about distorting, altering their very soul, will, and existence, undeniably possess superior survival abilities.To completely annihilate him, only an Lv40 could take action,
or some reality-twisting facilities in the killing field could instantly and permanently erase all factors related to Joker from the real world,
or perhaps a specific punishment task in the killing fieldâsome punishment tasks will literally eliminate, making one cease to exist.
Of course, from a more macro statistical perspective,
the average lifespan of people like Joker, either true jokers or players pretending to be jokers to reduce their pain, doesnât differ much from other groups.
The only things that truly determine how long a player can live are personal qualities and ethereal luck.
Worldview, values, personality, and moral character are only minor factors.
At this time, the upgrades of various modules at the toy factory have been completed, with buildings like the crushing room and the refining room keeping their floor space but with both external structure and internal decoration completely revamped,
itâs almost like it got upgraded from a county factory at the start of the century to todayâs semi-automated factory.
"Oh yeah!"
The cylindrical robots saw the factoryâs shutter doors open and cheerfully put on their questionable red and black two-tone safety helmets, one by one.
Their enthusiasm for work, their high motivation, is as if their work is paid by piece.
Hmm... Considering this, the personalization and intelligence of these cylindrical robots could easily pass the Turing test, and even when compared to the androids from "Westworld" or "Detroit: Become Human," they donât fall short.
Li Cheng rubbed his chin, pondering whether he should pay them wages since the toy factory generates substantial daily profits.
The problem is that there are no basic facilities near the factory, so what could they buy with money?
Surely they couldnât buy Volkswagen, Mercedes, Audi, BMW, or Porsche S2 season commemorative model cars, or Adolfâs strong degreasing shampoo, right?
Li Cheng mused while continuing to browse his phone.
Under the post, Joker and other netizens had been trolling each other for thousands of floors. Due to the Whale Song Guildâs recent increase in monitoring automated scripting, these words were all typed by the players themselves.
Li Cheng marveled at how such boring people exist in the world, while following the "dog donât coward" "dog keep barking" battle that went on for hours.
Tssâ
The Reforging Roomâs chimney emitted white thick smoke as the conveyor belt leisurely moved, bringing out more than forty intricately structured block-shaped mechanical creations.
The blocks had a diameter of about one and a half meters, semi-hollow with steel-toughened glass protective shells on each of the eight corners, an HD LCD screen on the front face, and a gyroscope in the middle.
Accompanied by two clicks, all block machines extended four flexible mechanical limbs as arm and leg supports, jumping down from the conveyor belt. The limbs ended in gripping structures with three fingers.
These robots were a new batch of mechanical servants Li Cheng had the Smart Core manufacture, using concepts like "Loyalty," "Mechanical," and "Internet."
"Grace! Favor!"
All block robots simultaneously opened their electronic eyes, raised their flexible mechanical arms, and with exaggeratedly enthusiastic mechanical electronic voices, shouted at Li Cheng, "Factory Owner, we love you! You are the sun of our hopes, you are the sun guiding us!"
The HD LCD panels on the front of all robot blocks displayed comically tear-filled emojis,
while the block robots at the back even played a BGM background sound from who-knows-where, "You come from Dandong to give me pure white, want to eat Guangdong dishes~"
WTF?!
Li Cheng twitched at the corner of his eyes, somehow feeling the brightness in the factory had increased,
He turned to look at the Smart Core, which timely explained, "The âB-level Mechanismâ concept for this batch of mechanical bodies comes from the tractors of Sariwon Tractor Factory during the Cold War,
âB-level Cartoonâ concept comes from the drawing tablets used by the 4.26 Animation Movie Studio,
âB-level Internetâ concept comes from the Lazarus Group hacker organizationâs network server usage,
âB-level Loyaltyâ concept comes from American youth Otto Warmbierâs possession of anime merchandise posters..."
"Iâm impressed. How do the other players in the killing field manage to get their hands on anything?! Are they like Doraemon or something,"
Li Chengâs expression turned extra awkward, as the 4.26 Animation Movie Studio is one of the top foreign exchange departments in Cao County, undertaking anime outsourcing work from around the world, having participated in the creation of well-known animations like "The Simpsons," "Lion King Simba," "Ninja Turtle," "Invincible Young Hero," among others.
The art is exquisite, efficiency is high, and itâs renowned in the industry.
The Lazarus Hacker Organization really exists in the real world. Donât be fooled by the name from the Bible; itâs actually under Cao Countyâs Bureau of Investigation, known for once hacking Bangladeshâs central bank out of 80 million US Dollars and later attacking cryptocurrency exchanges to loot Bitcoin.
These feats make one highly suspicious whether the Whale Song Guild has people from Lazarus often silencing certain users on the forums.
As for the Otto Warmbier incident, itâs hard to maintain composure. Itâs essentially a bloody case triggered by an anime merchandise poster.
Oh my, this Ottoâs hands arenât very clean.
"Forget it, letâs leave it at that for now."
Having a batch of abstract mechanical servants, Li Cheng couldnât even complain, sighed, and said to the block robots, "Do you know how to draw? Just right, delegate a batch to the Design Room to sketch some device diagrams.
The rest can assist the cylindrical ones; theyâll tell you what to do."
"Yes!"
The block robots saluted, then headed towards the cylindrical robots.
"Prosperous Han!" The cylindrical robotâs mechanical arm was rigid; both sides shook hands passionately, though for some reason the atmosphere felt subtly awkward.
Overall, after the factoryâs modules upgraded to the second level, operational efficiency significantly increased.
The two groups of robots were busy transporting and dismantling relics, sending them first to crush and refine, obtaining concepts for the Smart Core to analyze, and based on customer orders, figuring out where they could cut costs and where they should reserve high-grade concepts for themselves.
Then the cylindrical robot artists would draft the tool sketchesâthough investing concepts into the factory couldnât 100% determine a toolâs attributes,
the specially designed structure could partially influence the toolâs function.
"The S+ Sin concept obtained from the Otherworld Tower mission will remain untouched for now. Put the remaining two S concepts and several A-Level concepts in, and produce one piece of equipment and one skill scroll respectively."
Li Cheng gave a few instructions to the Smart Core, then logged out of the killing field and went to school.
When he returned, both items were already manufactured.
The data on the sheepskin skill scroll was as follows,
