Chapter 8: Three Body! Start!

Su Xiu closed the phone and nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the text message on his phone, which showed that 6700 yuan had been credited to his bank account.

Excellent, today he once again earned over ten thousand through his own efforts.

First, Su Xiu went to the computer store next to the university town and bought a Lenovo computer, which cost him five thousand yuan. This was after he tried his best to pick the cheapest model.

Looking at the money left in his pocket, Su Xiu patted his head.

'I wonder if this is enough to buy a V-suit.'

The technological level of the Trisolaris world was still slightly higher than the real world. After all, the technology for a virtual reality device that could be mass-produced and perfectly simulate the Three-Body Game environment only matured in the real world around 2017 or 2018.

Su Xiu pulled out his phone and searched briefly. Looking at the 'eighty thousand' price tag on the official website, Su Xiu looked up at the sky in exasperation, then turned left into 'Oyster Delicacy House' and bought a bowl of sea cucumber mixed rice to take away.

It's hilarious, wouldn't improving my life with that money be better?

Back home, after installing the graphics card and connecting the monitor, Su Xiu sat at his desk, digging into his sea cucumber mixed rice while searching for information related to Three-Body.

As for make-up exams and such, these were things that could be easily solved with psychic powers, so Su Xiu didn't bother with them for now.

"Cannot play Three-Body Game without a V-suit... It really is a rich person's game."

Su Xiu looked thoughtfully at the prompt on the Three-Body Game official website.

This alone had already eliminated the vast majority of ordinary people. After all, in a city where the average worker's monthly salary was around 6000 to 7000, most people couldn't possibly spend a year's salary to buy such a gaming setup to play this obscure, little-known Three-Body Game.

But—

I have a cheat! Why should I waste money like that!

As Su Xiu silently confirmed in his mind, the familiar system sound rang in his ears.

"Microcomputer detected... Abominable Intelligence (partial) initiating input, machine spirit successfully activated."

As a surge of powerful current sound came from the computer case, Su Xiu sensed that the computer in front of him had undergone some unknown change.

"High-dimensional monitor detected... Danger level assessment: Low."

A line of small text flashed across the screen in front of him, then quickly disappeared.

Clearly, the Abominable Intelligence had detected the presence of the sophon.

"Can it be solved?"

Su Xiu typed calmly in front of the computer.

"Given the current technological level of civilization, it is unsolvable."

It was also a flash of text, and the Abominable Intelligence was clearly guarding against possible sophon surveillance.

The Iron Men AI of the Golden Age could obviously not just be a set of blue technology. After confirming that there was no way to block sophon surveillance with current technology unless technology continued to advance, Su Xiu asked the Abominable Intelligence a few more questions. Finally, looking at the Abominable Intelligence's answers floating before him, Su Xiu was pensive.

He probably knew where the Abominable Intelligence's… disability lay.

As an intelligent AI, the Abominable Intelligence lacked the most precious and also the most dangerous thing.

Emotion.

Perhaps this was a good thing.

Looking at the "Continue self-destruct program?" pop-up, Su Xiu clicked no, then launched the Three-Body Game.

Unlike the shocking scenes Wang Miao saw after donning the V-suit and entering the game.

Because Su Xiu hadn't worn a V-suit, but had forcibly hacked into the Three-Body Game using the Abominable Intelligence's technology.

Although the Trisolarans provided a large amount of detailed information for the Three-Body Game, it was actually designed by Earth's Trisolaran rebels, and the technology used was still within human understanding.

Therefore, the Abominable Intelligence easily cracked the game. Su Xiu didn't even download the official installer; he played the web version directly.

In a sense, he was a prodigy.

The peaceful wilderness at dawn was slightly eerie. A blinding white light appeared in Su Xiu's line of sight. Stars twinkled in the sky, and two red peaks in the distance emitted a strange glow. When the dust raised by the meteorite cleared, a registration interface appeared before Su Xiu.

【Please select a nickname】

"Old Huang."

Su Xiu pondered for a moment and chose the ID.

Subsequently, the scene before him changed subtly. The most direct change was the appearance of two primitives slowly approaching him.

A string of text quickly flashed in the dialogue box at the top, introducing the IDs and historical backgrounds of the two.

【Chaotic Era, Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Tang, Fu Hao】

Clearly, the two people in front of him were players from the Trisolaris world. As Wu Tang, holding a bronze ge, opened and closed his mouth, Su Xiu saw small text appearing in the dialogue box above their heads.

【Welcome to Trisolaris, this is a very interesting world.】

Although the primitive in front of him was dressed in rags, Su Xiu could still feel his elegant demeanor in his every move, clearly belonging to the elite class of this country, like most players of Three-Body.

【Do you need me to introduce you to the gameplay?】

Both players were undoubtedly very friendly towards Su Xiu.

"No need, I'd like to explore this world on my own first."

Su Xiu typed his reply.

He entered the Three-Body Game this time out of curiosity, and also to earn a little money from Shen Yufei using the Three-Body Game.

Clearly, there was no better place to solve the Three-Body Problem than the Three-Body Game.

Hearing Su Xiu's refusal, the two were not annoyed. Instead, they left Su Xiu a sundial to observe the passage of time.

"Time in the Chaotic Era is unpredictable, but having this will give you a few more chances of survival."

Su Xiu chose to accept.

In the game, this was represented by the sundial being placed in Su Xiu's backpack.

"What a pity! What a pity!"

Su Xiu looked at the retreating figures of the two and couldn't help but sigh.

Apart from the Adventist Faction, most people in the Three-Body Organization were not bad people in the absolute sense.

But unfortunately, the advanced technology of Trisolaris was too deceptive for humanity, a civilization that had just stepped out of its home star.

After all, it was an interstellar civilization, not a cesspit world like 40k. Logically, even if it wasn't a communist society, it should have long since reached a state of extreme material abundance and infinitely satisfied desires.

Alas! Trisolarans!

Alas! Beacon of Civilization!

Alas! Führer's Dictatorship!

Alas! Dark Forest!

Su Xiu took out his phone and took photos of the information Shen Yufei provided.

"Deduce the Three-Body Problem."

"Do I need to advance the game process during the calculation?"

The Abominable Intelligence asked.

What? There's an AFK mode?

Su Xiu's eyes lit up.

He vaguely remembered that once the Three-Body Game was cleared to a certain extent, he would be invited to join the real Three-Body Organization.

"Advance."

Su Xiu replied.
