Chapter 405: A Bug Occurred… (2)
Chapter 405 – A Bug Occurred… (2)
Chen Yu began having an increasingly bad feeling after returning to the Super Floating Castle on Earth and seeing the Natural Disaster Generator’s flashing red interface.
Since the goal of the “game” was for humanity to succ.u.mb to an alien invasion, now that the “main plot” was forcefully revised, would having everyone on Earth die from a different cause result in some kind of error?
Over 500 million people were watching the livestream currently. Even the smallest error could not be allowed to happen.
Not to mention, Chen Yu still held his own life very dearly.
“The livestream has been going on for quite some time now, so everyone should take a short break. In the meantime, I’ll go ask for some help.”
After briefly greeting his audience, Chen Yu redirected the camera away from him and pulled out his phone. He then began a WeChat conversation with the Transdimensional Marketing Company’s staff.
[Chen Yu: “You there?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “…”]
[Chen Yu: “I seem to have encountered a problem.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Go on.”]
[Chen Yu: “I accidentally killed the aliens in the alien invasion disaster simulated by the Natural Disaster Generator. How should we return to the real world now?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “…”]
[Chen Yu: “Can we destroy the world using another way? There shouldn’t be any difference, right? We’ll all end up dead either way.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “The alien civilization is an important part of the disaster. Why did you do that?”]
[Chen Yu: “I didn’t like how they talked.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “…”]
[Chen Yu: “Only afterward did I realize that they were just too frank. It’s my bad. What should I do now? Can I change the way of everyone’s death?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “The natural disaster generator involves a lot of complex theoretical knowledge. My team and I live in the fifth millennium, so we do not understand products from the eighth millennium. We cannot give you professional answers or help.”]
[Chen Yu: “Go and ask someone who can, then!”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “The humans of the eighth millennium are not living at the same frequency as us. If they do not take the initiative to contact us, we will not be able to communicate with them.”]
[Chen Yu: “What do you mean by frequency?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Very complex dimensional branching. You can understand it as different life forms. For example, on Earth, in addition to the immediate ecosystem, there are also invisible life forms. The specific explanation is very complicated. You’ll understand it when the era of great disclosure arrives.”]
[Chen Yu: “OK. Even if you explain it now, I won’t be in the mood to listen to it. Just tell me how I should get out of this situation now.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “In theory, there shouldn’t be any difference between dying to an alien civilization and dying to another means of destruction. However, to avoid any errors from occurring, I recommend that you let Earth be destroyed by an alien civilization.”]
[Chen Yu: “But I killed off the aliens already.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “So, we recommend you find another one.”]
[Chen Yu: “???”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “:)”]
Looking at the sky outside the window in a daze, Chen Yu pondered in silence for a moment.
[Chen Yu: “You mean I should find another alien civilization and tell them: Hey, do you mind killing us?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “A reasonable solution, no?”]
“Reasonable, my a.s.s! Must I go through so much trouble?!”
[Chen Yu: “I think you’re joking with me.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “If that’s what you think, you can choose an extinction method that’s convenient for you. Who knows? You might be able to return to reality safely.”]
Putting down his phone, Chen Yu remained silent for a long time. Eventually, he let out a long sigh. “What bad luck…”
[Chen Yu: “Can you give me some intelligence support? Where are the nearby alien civilizations located?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “The coordinates of all civilizations are extremely obscure and treated as a secret among secrets. I can, at most, provide you with the coordinates of 146 civilizations.”]
[Chen Yu: “What a secret that is.”]
The next moment, Chen Yu received a word file through the chat room. He then quickly looked through the doc.u.ment before returning to the camera and saying, “Dear friends, sorry for the delay. A minor problem came up just now. However, I now have the perfect solution for it.
“First of all, we have destroyed the alien civilization that was supposed to destroy us. If we kill ourselves using another form of disaster, it might result in a bug in the system. For everyone’s safety, I’ve decided to find another alien civilization and ask them to destroy Earth for us.
“If we do that, wouldn’t everything be back on track?”
[Nani?]
[Don’t you find your words to be outrageous?]
[Aliens: We’ve never heard of such a strange request before.]
[I suggest that we don’t change anything!]
[+1! Host, don’t worry about it. Let’s just live out our lives here!]
[+2! We get to live an extra life for free!]
[Beautiful.]
[UP, don’t worry. I died from tripping in one of the previous disasters. I still got back safely.]
[Bulls.h.i.t!]
[A few people dying due to unexpected reasons might not be a problem, but having everyone dying from unexpected reasons might result in a bug.]
Spreading his arms, Chen Yu smiled and said, “Because this livestream involves a lot of viewers, for the sake of freedom and democracy, everyone gets to choose whether we seek out another alien civilization or not. Those who are for it, type ‘1’. Those against it, type ‘2’. Begin voting!”
[2!]
[2222!]
[222…]
[2222…]
Raising his wrist and looking at the bullet comments appearing on his watch, Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, “Everyone chose ‘1’. It seems everyone can’t wait to return to the real world. I am the same. In that case, I’ll go along with everyone’s wishes. I’ll set off now and search for an alien civilization to come to rescue us!”
After saying so, Chen Yu flew out of the window and arrived at the airport in the Forbidden Forest. Under most of his audiences’ unfriendly gazes, he entered the Type-R s.p.a.cecraft and started its engine.
Boom!
Accompanied by the sound of air being torn apart, the strangely shaped s.p.a.cecraft took off and flew into deep s.p.a.ce at speed far exceeding the E·I Force Field’s top speed.
“Let’s see which civilization is closest to us…”
Raising his phone and clicking on the word file, Chen Yu looked at the doc.u.ment’s first row.
“Barnard’s Star, six light-years away, the Core of Consciousness Civilization… This should be the nest of those guys from before. Now that I think about it, it seems we were indeed a bit impolite. They must’ve gone through great lengths to travel across six light-years, yet we wiped them out as soon as they arrived. Let’s pay them a visit to apologize and strive to achieve a friendly alliance.”
Turning off his phone, Chen Yu redirected the s.p.a.cecraft and had it fly straight toward Barnard’s Star at top speed.
Thirty minutes later, the Type-R s.p.a.cecraft successfully broke through the sun’s gravitational field. Another five minutes later, it slowed down to a halt before immediately entering FTL navigation mode.
Hiss—
Instantly, the s.p.a.cecraft went from a stationary state to advancing at 5,000 times the speed of light!
“The Core of Consciousness Empire, here I come…”
