Seeing that even his senior brother seemed hesitant to continue, Lü Yang nodded:
"This is it."
Li Yu felt a dryness in his throat. He didn't ask anything more and followed his junior brother to a conference room.
His mentor and several professionals in charge of liaison gathered together, and he and his junior, as semi-professionals, were also qualified to attend.
He quickly understood the whole story.
The events do indeed bear some resemblance to the plot of " Source Code," except that the protagonist is a soldier participating in a peacekeeping operation who was severely injured by a homemade bomb in a recent operation and is now in critical condition.
Even with the most advanced treatment available, his chances of survival are less than one in ten. Even if he survives, he will be left with severe disabilities, and it will be impossible for him to return to a normal state.
Faced with this soldier who had no ties and was all alone, some medical personnel who knew the secrets related to " World of Disorder " came up with a more radical treatment plan—
Permanent, complete immersion.
In other words, they intended for this soldier to live forever in a game world, never to return to his real-world body.
However, doing so carries enormous risks. Firstly, it is no secret that " World of Disorder " is now more than just a game, and the person in charge behind it, though low-key, has never deliberately concealed their existence.
In other words, what they are fighting against is not a system, but a genuine intellectual mindset.
If this bug is successfully exploited, will it cause a rift in the relatively stable cooperative relationship between the two parties?
Secondly, Professor Li Yinhua ([ Evergreen Tree ]) had previously conducted numerous experiments on himself, and he was quite certain that when the body entered a special state, the player would be forcibly detached from the game.
The special circumstances here include, but are not limited to, severe pain, intense sensory stimulation, and bodily Disorder.
To put it in an extreme way, even if a player takes a laxative before playing the game, the game system will eject his or her "soul" just before the explosion, prioritizing safety and ensuring no one gets burned.
So, once this warrior enters the game, if his real-world body simply can't withstand the strain, will he be forcibly ejected just before dying and forced to return to this world to face his final fate?
This might be too cruel for someone who died in the line of duty.
After the explanation, silence fell over the meeting room.
The organizer of this minimalist meeting was not actually present.
He is in a field hospital thousands of kilometers away. The plan he just proposed was also his idea, but he cannot make the corresponding decision on his own.
Most of the middle and upper-level people who knew about the World of Disorder were in this conference room at the moment. As long as they agreed, a gaming helmet would be put on the soldier's head immediately.
Of course, this is on the premise that the soldier also agrees to this treatment method.
Li Yu silently pondered everything related to this matter, but her thoughts drifted uncontrollably to the movie she had watched as a child.
The plot of " Source Code " is not exactly the same as the current situation. In that film, the protagonist can use technology to repeatedly repeat the events in the eight minutes before the outbreak, finding the final answer through trial and error.
This is not consistent with the current situation, and they have no opportunity to try and make mistakes.
Therefore, compared to the ending of " Source Code," where the characters live in a different world, and both suffer severe injuries (disability) and have a different body (consciousness transfer), Li Yu believes that the current situation is closer to the ending of "Aoda," where the characters live on another planet.
So, in Adolphin, why is the protagonist able to permanently abandon his original body and live on another planet?
Li Yu's breath hitched. He thought of a scene from a movie—because that planet, that world, accepted him.
So how can we prevent this soldier from being forcibly ejected due to a real-world physical death?
Li Yu felt that this also required the World of Disorder to accept him.
And now, he can only think of one person who can represent this World of Disorder.
In the silent conference room, the young man decisively raised his hand.
The voice of the conference initiator, thousands of miles away, came through the loudspeaker:
What are your suggestions?
All eyes immediately turned to Li Yu, and most people, including their mentors, looked on incredulously.
He cleared his throat and said seriously:
According to the setting of " World of Disorder ", we were able to have bodies there because of the summoning of an NPC.
"We will go offline because the body he created needs maintenance and cannot operate at a high intensity continuously."
"Now everyone knows this isn't entirely a game, so the NPCs aren't necessarily all NPCs. I think... if we could discuss this with him..."
Li Yu mentioned a setting that was implemented at the very beginning of the game's testing phase --
In the game's lore, activation codes are rewards obtained through sacrifices by players, and they are often obtained by players asking for them rather than being posted on websites or forums.
So many things aren't impossible, but rather... they just didn't ask.
One of the people in the conference room suddenly asked:
"So what's the cost? If this really succeeds, it's obvious we'll be the ones who benefit. There's no such thing as a free lunch; otherwise, everyone would just live forever in the game world."
The man looked at Li Yu with a serious expression and continued:
"I know they have access to our network, so... our every word and action might be being monitored. Please think about this carefully."
Although arguing at this point is a bit annoying, setting clear prices is indeed a good virtue, and Li Yu has to admit that there are risks involved.
In fact, that's the reality. The people in charge of researching the World of Disorder in the real world may not be unaware of it, but they simply see no need to interfere.
Humans want to study Psionic Energy, while aliens want to use their forces to unify the world; everyone has their own needs and it's a mutually beneficial relationship.
It is precisely because of this tacit understanding that the extraordinary phenomena brought about by " World of Disorder " have remained in a state similar to urban legend for a long time.
The operators over there have done it before. Someone used game activation codes to commit fraud, and a person's information from birth was quickly packaged and sent to the computers of the relevant institutions.
So, as this person said, what price would they be willing to pay to give someone from the real world a new lease on life in another world?
