Chapter 1615 - The Incredible Sprite (2/2)
“Explaining a Grand Unification Theory is very troublesome, but I have an easier way to let you understand what’s up with the sprites.” Hao Ren shrugged as he turned towards the MDT, “Turn on the information observation filter.”
“That is a top-level scanning function and is rather draining,” the MDT grumbled for a bit before activating the usually unused function.
A light screen spread out with the MDT as the center, and the world before everyone changed.
Every object around them still exists, but seemed to be covered with a very thin ‘screen’, and on the screen were countless tiny, almost invisible objects. Once focused, the tiny object will flow into one’s mind: Hardness XX, Temperature XX, Color XX, Name XX, Distance XX, Density XX…
A deluge of information that left everyone with a headache.
“Where’s the sprite?” Lily yelped and everyone soon recovered from the bizarre sensory feeling. They noticed now, the sprite was missing.
Hao Ren smiled as he pointed towards a direction, “She’s still there.”
Lily immediately turned towards where Hao Ren was pointing as suddenly saw a lot of words in her field of view:
// A sprite is floating before you, distance 0.732435 Pan
// The Sprite’s current unique state is #Referral Section- Ignored
// The Sprite looks at you curiously
// The Sprite was confused at your sudden yelp. She is waving before you but you do not notice her.
// The Sprite is yelling, she said, “Where are you looking at, this sprite is here!”
// The Sprite is angry
// The Sprite is no longer angry. Duration 0.15 seconds
Lily blinked and blinked but she saw nothing before her, only the lines of words.
“Whoa!!!” Y’lisabet yelled excitedly, “This is awesome!”
“MDT, turn off the filter.”
The blue light on the MDT’s surface immediately faded away and everyone’s vision returned to normal, those information scripts and symbols had disappeared, while the sprite, she was floating before everyone, looking as real as she can get.
“That noisy little bugger…” Lily held her hand out and the sprite went towards her out of curiosity and hugged her finger. “Actually does not exist?”
“You don’t have to worry too much about it, it’s just that on a physical level, it does not have a solid projection, but information-wise, her existence is very real.” Hao Ren smiled, and for the Grand Unification Theory of Information, if something exists on an informational level, it is considered as existing.”
Lily shook her head as the information overload reminded her of her first time at the University of Beijing. “So whatever attribute the sprites have actually means something?”
“Of course they do, moving an object that is in an agglomerated state is difficult, but a dispersed state…” Hao Ren said as he looked at the MDT, “They can be stored into a virtual drive. MDT, how big is your storage?”
The MDT immediately snapped, “Pardner! Don’t tell me you plan to store all the sprites in Amantir into my hard disk drive?!”
“The sprites are just a base level A.I of the crystals. Their information volume won’t be that big, how big a space would a simple driver take?” Hao Ren shrugged. “Aren’t you always boasting about your high specs and storage space? Why are you backing out now?”
“That’s depending on what you’re storing!” the MDT went nuts, “I would rather store p*rn in my drive rather than those chattering sprites! At least those p*rn vids don’t do anything if they are not played! I dare you to get me a pause button for these bunch of yapping sprites!”
Hao Ren pursed his lips. “I was thinking that your factory inspection date isn’t that far off already right? Or do you happen to miss Lil Pea already?”
The MDT had nothing to retort.
