"A smart NPC with independent personality? Wouldn't that show the same reaction as a normal person in the game?"

Hearing that there was no problem with the game itself, Ji Kong breathed a sigh of relief and became interested in the artificial intelligence in the mouths of Harada Nobuna.

In Ji Kong's previous life, he actually had artificial intelligence. The most well-known one is the famous AlphaGo. At that time, the news that he defeated Korean 9th dan player Lee Sedol in Go was very popular on the Internet.

However, it is just a mechanical thinking and cannot be said to have its own independent personality.

As for whether the country has the ability to create an independent artificial intelligence, Ji Kong doesn't know. After all, the country's top technology is confidential and is decades ahead of civilian technology. Although there is no one on the market now, if the country suddenly announces it, Ji Kong will not be surprised.

But according to Harada Nobuo, it seems that the world has created artificial intelligence with independent personality and has begun to try to popularize it in the civil direction.

This made Ji Kong very interested. After all, compared to the cold NPC, the more vivid characters are more interesting.

"It's true in theory, but who knows if there will be any problems here? After all, I have never tested it on such a large platform before, and the program can only be applied to some important NPCs."

The Harada Nobuna's emotions seem a bit pessimistic, which is reasonable. After all, in today's legendary era, it is a very large game platform. It's just that Japan has a long-term number of online users - don't think that this number is small. In fact, with Japan's national conditions, this number has already set a record.

On such a large platform, any small mistake will be infinitely amplified, so this should also be the reason why the National Academy of Sciences used "Legendary Age" to test it.

After all, the larger the platform, the more it can reflect the shortcomings.

But once something really goes wrong, the first thing that will be blamed is their game operator.

"Well, Mr. Harada, don't be so pessimistic. After all, artificial intelligence is also a big gimmick, right? I believe it can attract many players, at least I am very interested in this." Ji Kong said.

"But the problem is that the gimmicks of "Legendary Age" are already big enough now! The world's first VR online game, no matter what, it has attracted a lot of attention - even if you, Mr. Kong, if you don't have artificial intelligence, you will still be playing this game, right?"

"Well……"

Ji Kong choked for a moment, and when he thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case.

Those who know how to play online games have been attracted by the title "the world's first VR online game". Those who don't know how to play online games will still not be able to play even if you make many tricks in the game.

In other words, the potential players of the online game "Legendary Age" have actually been hollowed out long ago!

So when it comes to artificial intelligence, it is just icing on the cake. It can bring more praise to the game, but it cannot absorb more players.

After a moment of stagnation, Harada Noto felt that he had said a little too much. After a few awkward coughs, he changed the topic and said, "Speaking of this, has Mr. Sora's novel not been published yet?"

"Not yet."

Speaking of this, Ji Kong was a little depressed. He has now serialized 60,000 words on the post bar, and there is still 40,000 left, which is a full volume. But strangely, there is still no library or editor to sign and publish it.

If the response is dull, it would be fine, but now "Sword Art Online" has the potential to be popular. Are those editors blind?

"If there is no editor to sign a contract with Mr. Sora, I think I should know the answer." Harada Nobuo hesitated for a moment and said, "This is probably because of Mr. Sora's identity."

"My identity?" Harada Yeto's words made Ji Kong stunned.

"I don't hide some things from Teacher Kong. In fact, after I spoke to you on the phone last time, I tried to investigate your identity..."

After hesitating for a while, Harada Nobuo decided to tell the truth.

It turned out that since he had been on the phone with Ji Kong that day, he had become very curious about Ji Kong's life experience. After all, those who can ask so many big Vs to help promote it must not be ordinary people.

And if Ji Kong really has a good background, he can also try to cooperate with the other party more deeply.

But this investigation caused trouble.

First, several friends he entrusted were taken away by the police for investigation. Then in the afternoon of that day, several personnel from the National Security Bureau came to the door and invited him to the bureau for tea in the name of "intention to murder the national leaders."

Next, he was detained in the State Security Administration for three days until he investigated the eighteen generations of his ancestors and even the color of diapers he used when he was a child, and confirmed that he was not suspicious, he was released.

So, this is also the reason why he is very polite to Ji Kong today.

After narrating the whole story with some embarrassment, Harada Noto said: "Because our circle is very small, it is basically impossible to hide what everyone has entered. I think the people in the library should have guessed something, so they are reluctant to make up their minds."

After listening to his explanation, Ji Kong was a little amused and laughed: "But what does this have to do with them not signing a contract with me?"

"It should be because they don't know what Mr. Kong's attitude is and what price should be offered."

Generally speaking, the price of a Japanese light novel is about 550 yen. The author takes 50 yen from it. Based on the 80,000 yuan printed by a novel, the total income is 4 million yen, which is about 260,000 yuan.

260,000 is an income that many white-collar workers can’t achieve in a year, but for those rich second-generations, 260,000 is also called money?

Harada Nobuki guessed that just asking so many big Vs to help promote it is far more than this number!

So in the eyes of some editors, Ji Kong's writing of this book "Sword Art Online" may be a playful nature of the rich second generation.

Such people often don’t care about money, but if you give less, you look down on others.

Therefore, the heads of major library libraries are now in trouble.

On the one hand, they saw that "Sword Art Online" has the potential to be popular, so they wanted to sign the book.

But on the other hand, they didn't know what price they should give, so they simply observed secretly to see what price their peers were preparing to offer.
