My Exclusive Dream World Adventures
Chapter 216 - Chapter 216 216 Progress

Chapter 216: 216 Progress Chapter 216: 216 Progress Chen Xu made his way through, but didn’t come across a single person. He tried every room, yet no one responded. He knew that there was a problem again.

On Earth, the virtual dreamscape equipment couldn’t connect to the network. For such a long time, he had only managed to connect once, and that was just for a few seconds–enough to leave him terrified.

Before entering the game, he had made sure to check that the network was disconnected.

He had assumed that without a network, he shouldn’t be able to log onto this session, but unexpectedly, he did.

This came as a pleasant surprise to him.

His virtual dreamscape device was always malfunctioning, which worried him. He feared it might collapse suddenly one day. Having one more dreamscape was truly a blessing he couldn’t ask for more.

In the end, he discovered, as expected, that there was a bug.

So far, he hadn’t come across a single person. So, he boldly guessed that he was the only one on the entire map; as for others, they obviously couldn’t connect.

A decent online game was now played by him as a single-player game–unprecedented indeed.

Since there was no one in this area, it meant that these people were supposed to be played by real people, not NPCs.

It was unknown whether there were NPCs on this map. If not, surviving ninety days shouldn’t be too difficult as long as there was no shortage of food and drinking water.

Right, there was also his significant other. But for the time being, it seemed unlikely they would meet within these ninety days.

This time he was truly alone, surviving ninety days in this world. The time was cut in half, but the difficulty had gone up a notch. What would happen was hard to say.

After three dreamscape tribulations, he was no longer the same as at the beginning, merely trying to scrape by. On his journey here, he had been actively looking for countermeasures.

When he realized he couldn’t get through that door, he felt somewhat annoyed. If trapped in this area, his range of movement would be too limited. If he couldn’t enter any other rooms, his confinement to the corridor and his room would spell certain doom.

Fortunately, he could communicate with that voice. As long as communication was possible, there was a way to think of a solution.

He reported the issue as intelligence, waiting to see its reaction.

Moments later, a shrill alarm sounded from above, “Attention all personnel, attention all personnel, a significant emergency situation has arisen, we are entering a level one alert status immediately. All personnel, return to your posts, I repeat…”

Chen Xu saw red lights flashing and looked up to see the lights were coming from an alarm on the ceiling.

Then, he heard thuds behind him. Turning around, he saw that the doors on both sides of the corridor had all automatically opened.

But even after the alarm had repeated a few times, still, no one came out of the rooms.

Then, the large door in front of him also opened from the middle, revealing another long corridor. The difference was, you could only see a door from afar.

He didn’t know where his post was and didn’t dare to wander. They declared a level one alert status. Accidentally entering a restricted area and getting terminated would be unjust.

He could only honestly stand in place and continue to survey the surroundings and assess this place.

That voice was mostly from artificial intelligence, and moreover, the intelligence level couldn’t be too high.

It had been almost an hour since he had entered the dreamscape. It hadn’t noticed the fact that all the people had disappeared until he pointed it out, triggering the alarm.

The most ironic part was the alarm instructing all personnel to return to their posts. Knowing that everyone had disappeared, why would such a reminder be necessary?

From this, it was clear that this artificial intelligence was very rigid, probably even less flexible than S01.

A few minutes later, that voice spoke again, “Repair Technician Level Two, Chen Xu, due to unknown reasons, everyone on the Dawn has disappeared except for you.”

Chen Xu heard from its voice the confirmation that he was the only one left, which made him feel quite complicated. It seems he couldn’t escape the fate of playing a single-player game.

He asked, “So, does this mean I can have the highest authority now?”

“Sorry, there is no such contingency in the system. According to the rules, there are minimum requirements for grade and professional skills to have the highest authority. You do not meet these standards.”

Chen Xu said helplessly, “Don’t be so rigid. Since I’m the last human, isn’t it only natural to have the highest authority?”

“Sorry, the rules are the rules. They must not be violated by anyone,” the voice said.

Truly rigid enough.

He cursed inwardly, it seemed in the dreamscape game there were no short cuts to the top.

He said, “Then in that case, can you increase my level, so I can have a bigger range of movement?”

“According to the rules, promotion in level requires passing a skills assessment and contributing to work.”

Chen Xu couldn’t help but sigh, “With such a steward as you, my hope for the future here is really filled with concern. Think about it, I’m the only one left here, right? Suppose you encounter a problem, like a malfunction or something, can you fix it on your own?”

“Cannot.”

The answer didn’t surprise him. Even the artificial intelligence was like this. Even if there were robots here, they would be even clumsier and certainly incapable of handling complex tasks.

“Think about it, if the place that malfunctions requires higher authority and I can’t get there, wouldn’t that be the end? Therefore, you must help me raise my level as quickly as possible.”

Chen Xu knew it wouldn’t take advantage of such loopholes with its level of intelligence, he continued, “Like the level exam, there are rules not to disclose the questions, right?”

“Indeed, there is such a regulation.”

“But there’s always a scope for the exam, based on a few books, right? So, you give me a scope and tell me what’s not on the exam. That doesn’t violate the rules, right?”

The voice paused, “By the program, it does not violate.”

“See, this problem is halfway solved.” Chen Xu clapped his hands, “As for contributions, that’s not hard to resolve either. Such a large place, such a complex system, there’s always a margin of error when reporting malfunctions, right?”

“Yes, there is.”

“You, just within the margin of error, report some malfunctions. I’ll just run over and pretend, then you set it as completed. Like that, I’ll have contributions. You see, this solves everything perfectly.”

The voice paused again, “This operation is indeed possible. And, it does not violate any rules. Please return to your room, I will transfer the materials to you.”

“Okay then.”
