Chapter 107: Chapter 100 AI Still Needs Improvement

The moment the dialogue box popped up, the game scene froze, and everyone around him was motionless.

He could quit the game at any time now or continue to explore more content.

Wang Hao naturally wouldn’t leave easily—the "ultimate source of infection" hadn’t been found yet, and the Gluttons outside were not yet fully cleared. If he left now, he would only achieve a 100% completion rate at most.

With a slight movement in his heart, he clicked the [Continue Game] button.

A countdown appeared on the screen: [6 hours 33 minutes 12 seconds].

After this countdown ended, he would leave the game.

Time restarted, and the two people next to him continued discussing topics as if the recent pause had never happened.

Chen Xinyi was incredibly unlucky lately. She heard from a colleague that a specialty dish at a store in Wolmei Mall, the "Gold Spicy Chicken and Aromatic Rice Burger," was very delicious.

As a food lover, she arrived early in the morning to buy it.

But just before seven in the morning, a red fog suddenly rose around her, and she was swept into it.

She originally thought that she would be controlled by the [Game] once again, and there was a hint of excitement in her heart, but she kept waiting until now without the [Game] God showing up...

"What happened next? How did these Gluttons appear?"

She rubbed her temples, "I was eating a burger on the second-floor restaurant and saw a group of bizarre people running from the plaza. These people had fierce expressions, black glow emitting from their mouths, begging for food like mad upon seeing someone."

"If they weren’t given food, they would directly devour that person on the spot."

"Many people, clueless about the danger, gathered around; it only took a few minutes for all of them to be..."

She paused here, a slight look of horror on her face.

She had more experience than average people, so she quickly determined that these beings were truly bizarre.

Thus, she hid in the neighboring restroom...

"So that’s what happened..." Wang Hao was somewhat speechless, "Lucky you."

Including him and Smith, there were a total of nine people in the restroom—four males, five females, two tourists, and four mall employees, all shivering and with faces full of fear.

It’s completely normal for ordinary people to react this way, accustomed to a peaceful environment, who would want to face non-human oddities?

Chen Xinyi figured out that these beings tended to use smell to search for food, that’s why she threw the toilet paper outside the bin to cover up the scent.

However, there wasn’t much more intelligence gathered...

He felt a bit amused, thinking secretly to himself, "I thought Ms. Chen had become stronger, but it turns out she chose to passively wait for death here."

"If I hadn’t come, she would probably be stuck in the restroom indefinitely. Could this game be bugged?"

However, it was also quite normal; before the script started, he had directly controlled Chen Xinyi to explore [Binge Eating Heaven], but this time using an avatar changed the direction of the story entirely.

Thinking of this, he had a sudden thought, wanting to test the intelligence of the NPCs in the game: "There’s some water in the plumbing, but basically no food... What would you do if we hadn’t come? Just hide here and starve to death?"

Wang Hao imagined a horrific scene of cannibalism.

Chen Xinyi was at a loss for words, also starting to ponder this question.

This middle-aged gentleman claimed to be a member of the Black-clothed Guard, and she could not verify it right now. Regardless, his performance was far stronger than hers.

Wait, how does he know my surname is Chen?

I don’t recall introducing myself. Personal names do have a certain confidentiality, like this Smith, is probably just a codename.

A hint of doubt arose in Chen Xinyi’s heart, trying to remember if she had unwittingly introduced herself.

In Wang Hao’s eyes, this lady, who had a nice face but not much else to show, foolishly stood there with a blank expression, completely stumped by the question.

He could only sigh, thinking she hadn’t passed the Turing test.

"The AI’s artificial intelligence still needs improvement... Although it’s world-class, sometimes it still bugs out like a robot."

After a while, Smith thought of another question and interjected: "Ms. Chen... Do you carry any Strange Objects that can establish communication?"

"We must get the information out, otherwise, we can’t get rescued! We’ll still be trapped here."

Chen Xinyi shook her head.

She originally intended to transfer information by "entering the Game Training Camp through spirit."

However, since this area was enveloped by the red fog, she seemed to have lost the ability to enter the [Game Training Camp]!

The reason was unknown!

Despite the fact that in her mind, flames danced like eyes, no matter how much she focused, she couldn’t re-enter the training camp.

This fact made her feel somewhat disheartened. Could it be that even the rules of the [Game] God could not break through this red fog? What kind of existence had they provoked?

She licked her dry lips, hesitatingly said: "I have the ability to transfer information, but now I can’t use it..."

"Why?"

"I’m not sure of the reason; it might be that the outside red fog is blocking the communication ability... I’m not sure, but right now it’s impossible."

"Unable to contact the outside world; isn’t that just waiting for death?" Smith couldn’t help but angrily thump the wall.

"Well, hiding in the restroom now is definitely better than being in the cramped sewers."

Upon hearing their conversation, Wang Hao did some calculations in his mind— he should have completed the main quest by now, meaning the game completion rate was at 100%.

He must complete more hidden tasks within six hours if he wanted to score high.

So he turned around and said to everyone in the restroom, "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that if we can kill the true source of infection in this area, the surrounding red fog might dissipate somewhat. Then, this lady would be able to transmit information."

"Does anyone know what the infection source is? Everyone, put your heads together and think, is there a very special person or object around? Something that looks dangerous at first glance?"

"What exactly caused all this to happen, does anyone know? What triggered it initially?"

When he saw that the "police officers" were still brainstorming, the other civilians in the restroom started chattering as well.

A middle-aged man in a sanitation uniform said, "Just after 7:00 AM, I heard noises from the square, and the sky turned the color of fresh blood. I was sweeping at that time and took a snapshot at 7:13:22 AM."

"I touched the red fog and felt a bit chilly on my skin; I even went inside to check it out."

"You entered the red fog?" Wang Hao looked at the man in surprise.

The sanitation worker appeared nervous, "Ah... I felt something was off, so I just walked into it. I couldn’t see anything at all, not even my own hands, so I immediately backed out."

Upon hearing that he had actually walked into the red fog, the others in the restroom took several steps back.

"Did you have any adverse reactions?"

Wang Hao continued with his questions, "Did you feel like eating anything?"

The worker said nervously, "I felt... drowsy and a bit sleepy, but I could resist it... It really wasn’t me!" His nerves were tensing up, "I didn’t turn into a monster either!"

Wang Hao took a deep breath, "I didn’t say it was you, why so nervous?"

"Has anyone else had contact with the red fog? Please speak freely. If we don’t clarify the truth now, we all might die; we need to collect more information to understand the causes and consequences."

Perhaps it was his calmness that reassured everyone.

Having a leader during such times is definitely right.

After a while, a young woman who might have been a white-collar worker in the area timidly stood up.

"I also went into the red fog, took a photo, and even posted it on social media."

Indeed, taking a picture of such a bizarre scene seemed quite appropriate.

"Did you feel anything?"

"In the red fog, I felt very irritable, and I couldn’t see anything outside at all. I panicked and exited immediately."

"Did you feel like eating anything?"

"No... definitely not."

Now that two people had come into contact with the red fog and only experienced irritability,

it indicated that the infection source was likely not the red fog itself.

This red fog only affected visibility and caused irritability.

"Could it be... lowering SAN value?!" Wang Hao thought to himself.

The infection source shouldn’t be the red light in the sky either.

Everyone in the restroom had been exposed to the red light from outside without demonstrating any significant adverse reactions.

Smith stood to one side, agitated, gesturing as if he wanted to say something.

Because he wasn’t very fluent in Chinese, he couldn’t keep up when they spoke too fast, and he started to repeat "infection source, infection source," even blurting it out in English.

Wang Hao added, "If there really is an infection source, it means its rule might differ from ordinary gluttons, making it more dangerous; we need to be cautious."

"Ms. Chen, do you have any attack-capable strange objects with you? We should discuss if we can eliminate these things."

Chen Xinyi took some items out of her backpack, "I only have a Rune Blade... It should be able to cut through a glutton’s body, but any combat close enough to use it is too dangerous; we might not be able to manage it."

The Rune Blade looked like any ordinary dagger, adorned exquisitely with Cicada Wing runes; using it consumed one’s spiritual power.

An average person could use it for about a minute before falling unconscious for twenty-four hours.

The higher one’s Spiritual Strength, the longer they could use it.

"I also have a special bodysuit made of silkworm silk, but it’s of little use... because being swallowed happens in an instant; this is the crushing rule of idealism against humanity."

"And I have an ordinary handgun, which is even less useful."

Chen Xinyi took a deep breath and said, "I once saw a glutton fall from a ten-story building, landing head-first."

"Head-first?"

"Yes, but even though its head was smashed, the glutton was still bouncing around alive and unharmed; it might have self-repair capabilities. So, I think firearms are of little significance."

"I also have... an Immortal Bean, um, just one. It can repair injuries and restore spiritual power."

Being protected among the Black-clothed Guard, she had only recently acquired these precious strange objects, just in case she got involved in some supernatural event, allowing her to defend herself and not die in an instant.
