[R18] Global College Entrance Examination – “Global College Entrance Examination” Chapter 166 [English]
byChapter 166 Autumn┃The world is brilliant and grand, welcome home
The next day, the core computer room of the research laboratory was properly arranged, and the first batch of experts and researchers will soon move in. At that time, new projects based on the system core disk will officially begin.
The person in charge of cleaning packed up the transportation packaging and took it out, but You Huo and Qin Zhu stayed in the computer room.
A special screen was lit in front of them, and two figures were squatting and busy under the screen.
Gao Qi bent over and grabbed a metal handle, and said to the person on the other end: “922, please lift that chassis.”
Wen Yuan was stunned for a moment. In the S Brigade, there were many people calling him by his name, and only Qin Jiu was called by this code name.Now that Leng Buding heard another person calling this, he couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.
When they first left the system, they tried to get rid of the numbers and call them names instead.Others are fine, but we can’t get used to each other.
This went back and forth for a long time, and finally the code names were called back one after another.
We are all witnesses to each other’s experiences. As long as we still see each other, we are destined to think of the past, the days we were in the system, the people we have met, and the things we have done.
But it doesn’t matter, all experiences, good or bad, have value, at least they make up their complete life.
Wen Yuan recovered from his daze, lifted up the chassis, and called “Boss”.
Qin Zhu leaned over and put the core disk in from the side.
“Okay.” Youhuo pointed at the screen and said.
They straightened up and dusted their hands.
Wen Yuan looked at the screen and knocked on the console.Others stood aside, waiting in silence.
After the world of the system was dismantled, the “soul” that always gave people nightmares disappeared, along with 154.Although he is separated from the system ontology, he still depends on the constructed world, living and dying together.
But youhuo don’t believe this evil. They always believe that what is really destroyed by interference is the main console of the system itself and the “core” of the system itself.154 may be affected, but it will not disappear completely.
They have tried many methods and found many experts.But the results are similar every time, just like Wen Yuan said: If 154 is still there, this surviving core disk should be he’s habitat.
They have sent information to the core disk many times, almost countless, but they have never received a response.
In fact, there is another possibility that we have been unwilling to think about——
When the system kernel was destroyed, the broadcast said “Correction program detected”, but at that moment, the real correction program was still in their hands.There must be some human being who has developed a “correction program” and fused it with the “core” of the system to truly end those nightmares and tragedies.
So… who else can make the analogy of “correction program”?
Only 154.
Sometimes, Wen Yuan would suddenly think of that scene at night, and the system’s voice would circle in his mind, repeating that sentence over and over again. After repeating it for a long time, it would slowly turn into a tone of 154.
Then he couldn’t fall asleep anymore. No matter how tired he was from training during the day, he couldn’t fall asleep peacefully.
Once he finally fell asleep near dawn, and unfortunately he dreamed of that scene again.The dream is not at all restored, and a lot of things are added to it.
He dreamed that 154 occupied the throat of the system and said to them with a rustling radio voice: “I will give you a ride one last time. I have been a bad friend for several years in vain.”
After he woke up, he sat on the bed for a long time, thinking that he might never meet such a harmful friend again in his life.
Wen Yuan paused for a moment and explained: “I made an application before and linked the dynamics of the core disk to my mobile phone. There was a sudden movement on it last night, so I wanted to come and see what was going on today.”
he finally tapped the keyboard, and the screen finally lit up, showing that the system core disk was in the simplest mode. Next to it were some of the most basic operation buttons, such as starting, shutting down, and searching for database information.Like a rigid computer.
Wen Yuanshu entered several interfaces in a familiar way, but didn’t find anything.Finally, he switched to the monitoring interface, pointed to a small wave peak in the early hours of last night and said: “Look, it happened around 2 o’clock last night.”
Gao Qi asked: “What does this sudden fluctuation mean?”
“This core disk has always been in a low-frequency operating mode… just like a mobile phone on standby, not really turned off, in order to ensure its subsequent stability.” Wen Yuan explained: “This fluctuation means that the core disk does not maintain its original mode at that moment, just like your standby mobile phone suddenly received a message and lit up.”
Gao Qi said: “Isn’t that a good thing!”
Wen Yuan nodded and said after a moment of silence: “Yes, I didn’t sleep all night last night. But I’m worried that this is because of the instability caused by frequent movement of it recently. Rather than…”
he paused and said quickly in a low voice: “Not evidence of the existence of 154.”
The computer room became quiet, and only the low hum of the core disk could be heard.
After a long time, Qin Zhu said: “After all, the core disk was once the most important part of the system. If it is moved, it will cause instability. Isn’t it a bit unreasonable?”
Wen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
He chuckled and said, “That’s right.”
Just because of this “too”, they began a long wait and try.
Experts and researchers involved in the project also hope to retain traces of 154, so while they are improving the architecture of the new system, they are constantly delivering greetings and messages deep into the core disk.
This has almost become a daily habit for this group of people, and it is unbreakable.
So spring, summer, autumn and winter… the four seasons passed by for more than one cycle.
The entire project concluded in the fall of the second year. The new system has been basically completed. It is mainly used to structure and screen training scenarios and will be put into use soon.
The special training camp at that time was a bit deserted in the late autumn atmosphere, because You Huo and Qin Zhu took all the students to the south for joint training at sea.Only the researcher responsible for the finishing touches was left in the huge place, and it was a bit quiet and desolate.
Wen Yuan did not go to have lunch, but entered the core computer room with a special cleaner.Out of obsessive-compulsive disorder or…something else, he planned to tidy up the place a little. After all, he would return to Brigade S in one week.
Next time I come here, I will have to wait for the new system to be turned on.Going forward… I don’t know what year or month it will be.
He sat in front of the computer room screen for a while, then turned on the system and sent a sentence to the core disk. Everything was as usual.
Maybe it was because he was leaving. Looking at the content passed on, he suddenly felt that it was too simple. He obviously had a lot to say.Not only he, but also Qin Zhu, You Huo, 021… all those who have witnessed the existence of 154 have a lot to say.
But it is not a one-sided talk. What they hope is communication, a back-and-forth conversation like before, whether it is chatting, joking, or mutual loss, as long as there is a response.
Wen Yuanfa was stunned for a long time. When he came back to his senses, the screen was already filled with messages sent by him, because his finger subconsciously pressed the send button.
Every message is blank with no content, as if there is something to say but you don’t know where to start.
Wen Yuan was startled. Such continuous message transmission could easily cause some program disorders.
He stood up suddenly, tapping the keys, intending to cancel the blank and useless content, and check whether it caused any confusion.
Just when he was about to press the button to execute the program, the screen suddenly flashed.
At that moment, Wen Yuan thought he was dazzled.
The program on the screen was still scrolling, going down hundreds of lines in an instant.
He stood there frozen for a long time, then suddenly stretched out his hand to pull back the contents of the screen.
he flipped through it for a long time, and finally found a message among the densely packed characters.The source of that message is shown as the core disk itself, and the message content only has three digits and one punctuation:
922?
…
Coincidentally, that day was September 22, the day before the autumnal equinox.
The moment Wen Yuan was in front of the screen, Yu Wen was coming out of a lecture theater at a university in Harbin. He was answering messages while carrying his schoolbag and discussing with his classmates what to have for lunch.
Wu Li and Yang Shu stood in a laboratory in Beijing, wearing special glasses and lying next to the instruments to record data.
Di Li propped his head in a library in Shanghai, his cell phone turned on silent and placed beside him, and occasionally it would light up suddenly.
Shu Xue changed her job and was walking on the street of a city in Zhejiang.She gradually lost track of many things in the system. She only remembered that she seemed to have had a long dream. In the dream, someone told her that if there was a chance in the future, they could meet in this city.
She would meet a shy boy on this street corner that she passed every day. He had just returned to campus after taking a long break due to health problems. He would scratch his head and be pushed forward and say awkwardly: “My name is Zhao Wentu, can I… know you?”
You Huo and Qin Zhu just finished their special training in the morning, greeted Gao Qi, Chu Yue and others, and went up the stairs to the deck.
The sky in this season is always high, clear and far away.The sea breeze is moist, with a light autumn coolness, and follows a long cloud as it falls straight to the sky.
Youhuo suddenly thought of the sea in the system. It always gets windy on certain days, has waves at certain times, rains on certain times, and snows on certain times…
Best of all, it’s never in sight.
All the scenery in the system is like that, covered in clouds, mountains and mist, with no boundaries.
But it’s different here.
Here the wind stops when it meets the mountains, and the boat stops when it reaches the shore.
The land behind him stretches over 100 million hectares, and the sea beneath his feet covers over 3 million square kilometers.Going further south, the most it can do is pass through the clouds and circle the ground.
Everything here has a beginning and an end, but it can accommodate all unexpected encounters and long-awaited reunions.
The world is brilliant and grand.
Welcome home.

The author has something to say:
Okay, it’s all over here.Thank you for putting up with my messy update schedule for 6 months. Thank you for your hard work~
The next article will be “Someone”, pseudo-orthopedics, a two-way secret love.If you are interested, you can go to the column and save it. I will probably save some articles before starting it again, so that the updates will not be so messy again.
We’ll meet again in the next article, okay?
In addition, the unlimited stream of gay friends is pre-receiving “Fortress of the End of the World”, and those who are interested can look forward to it.
The list of overlord votes will be compiled later and will be placed behind this. It is not an update. Don’t make a mistake.
