Chapter 10

Chapter 10 HELCOME TO THE TEAM! I HOPE YOU SURVIVE THE EXPERIENCE. Theo!!! Theo was here, with them. Theo was the hacker! Harper couldn't believe her eyes. But then again, why should she believe them? Just because the avatar looked like Theo, that didn't mean Theo was the player behind the avatar. "DON'T WORRY, GUYS," he said. "I'm here to solve all your problems!" Okay, thought Harper. That is definitely the real Theo.

第十章欢迎加入我们的队伍！我希望你能挺过来。 西奥! !西奥在这里，和他们在一起。 西奥就是那个黑客！哈珀简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。 但话说回来，她为什么要相信他们呢？ 仅仅因为角色看起来像Theo，并不意味着Theo就是角色背后的玩家。 “别担心，伙计们，”他说。 “我是来解决你所有问题的！”好吧，哈珀想。 这绝对是真正的西奥。

"Hey, man!" said Po. "WELCOME TO THE PARTY." "Hold up," said Harper. "We need to talk about some things first. You mean to tell me you've been working with Ms. Minerva this whole time?" "I wish I had been," said Theo. "That would have helped you avoid some trouble. BUT I'VE BEEN ON MY OWN UNTIL RECENTLY." "Start at the beginning," said Ash. "Tell us everything."

“嘿，伙计！”阿宝说。“欢迎来到这个聚会。” “等等。”哈帕说。“我们需要先谈谈一些事情。 你的意思是说你一直在和。 一直以来都是米勒娃？”“我真希望我是，”西奥说。 “那会帮你避免一些麻烦的。 但直到最近我都是一个人。” “从头说起。”阿什说。 “把一切都告诉我们。”

Theo nodded. "For me, IT STARTED WHEN THE EVOKER KING INFILTRATED THE SCHOOL'S SYSTEMS. I noticed right away that something was up with the computers, and I did some digging in the code. FROM WHAT I SAW, IT WAS PRETTY OBVIOUS THAT WE'D BEEN HACKED." "What did you do?" asked Morgan. "I went straight to Ms. Minerva," he answered. "And that's when things got really interesting." Theo paused for dramatic effect. Harper huffed. "Just tell us what happened, Theo!" she said. "All right, all right! Ms. Minerva knew more than she was willing to tell me. But she was impressed with my hacking skills, and she asked me to take a look at a VR headset…and the server that

西奥点点头。“对我来说，它始于召唤者之王渗透进学校的系统。 我立刻注意到电脑出了问题，于是我深入研究了一下代码。 从我看到的情况来看，很明显我们被黑客入侵了。” “你做了什么？”摩根问。 “我直接去找密涅瓦女士，”他回答。 “就在那时，事情变得非常有趣。” 西奥停顿了一下，以达到戏剧效果。 哈珀怒喝道。“告诉我们发生了什么，西奥！”她说。 “好吧，好吧！”Ms。 密涅瓦知道的比她愿意告诉我的还要多。 但她对我的黑客技术印象深刻，她让我看一看虚拟现实耳机，还有那个服务器

was running your Minecraft game. I COULD SEE WHERE DOC'S TINKERING HAD CAUSED SOME STRANGE THINGS TO HAPPEN. The source of all the strangeness was a key bit of code in Doc's modifications. A programmer would call it a bug. You call it…the Foundation Stone." "SO THE FOUNDATION STONE IS THE SOURCE OF ALL THE WEIRDNESS?" Morgan asked. "Even before the Evoker King started messing with us, we noticed that this world wasn't exactly like a standard game of Minecraft." "For instance," said Jodi, "I can do handstands." She did one, to illustrate her point. Po clapped his square hands and said, "YOU CAN'T DO THAT IN VANILLA MINECRAFT." Theo began to pace on the platform. "That's right. The bug is like this…little seed of possibility. IT MAKES THIS PLACE A LITTLE MORE WEIRD AND A LITTLE MORE WONDERFUL." "I still think it might be magic," Po said. "I'm like ninety-five percent sure." Harper knocked him lightly on the head while Theo continued.

在运行你的Minecraft游戏 我可以看到博士的修补导致了一些奇怪的事情发生。 所有这些奇怪现象的根源是“博士”修改过程中的一段关键代码。 程序员会称之为bug。 你管它叫……基石。” “所以基石是所有奇怪的来源？”摩根问道。 “甚至在Evoker King开始扰乱我们之前，我们就注意到这个世界并不完全像《我的世界》的标准游戏。” “比如，”乔迪说，“我会倒立。” 她做了一个，以说明她的观点。 阿宝拍手说：“在香草版的《我的世界》里你做不到。” 西奥开始在站台上踱步。 “这是正确的。虫子就像这样，可能性的小种子。 它让这个地方变得更奇怪，更美妙。” “我仍然认为这可能是魔法，”阿宝说。 “我有95%的把握。” 哈帕轻轻地敲了敲他的头，西奥继续说。

"IN OTHER WORDS, THE BUG—THE FOUNDATION STONE—IS ACTUALLY HAVING A POSITIVE EFFECT. That seed was flowering and evolving the game to have new possibilities. You're having more fun because of it, not less. But you had to be inside to know that. From the outside looking in—just looking at how the code was working—it just looked like a mistake. A flaw in the system. And Doc's goal as an inventor is to correct her mistakes—and to eliminate flaws." "How would she do that?" asked Ash. "With a tool she's used before: artificial intelligence." Theo smirked. "She introduced the

换句话说，虫子——基石——实际上正在产生积极的影响。 这颗种子开花了，让游戏有了新的可能性。 你从中得到了更多的乐趣，而不是更少。 但你必须在里面才能知道。 从外部往里看——只是看看代码是如何工作的——它看起来就像一个错误。 制度上的缺陷。博士作为发明家的目标是纠正她的错误，消除缺陷。” “她会怎么做呢？”阿什问。 “用的是她以前用过的工具：人工智能。” 西奥傻笑。她介绍道。

Evoker King into the game's code. She gave it a simple command: find what was wrong and fix it. GET RID OF THE CHAOS. IMPOSE ORDER!" "So why hasn't he done that?" asked Morgan. "What went wrong?" "You did," said Theo. "The AI's mission got a lot more complicated when a bunch of kids showed up and started moving things around at random. Building. Exploring. Causing change. MY THEORY IS THAT YOUR APPEARANCE FORCED THE AI TO EVOLVE. IT BECAME THE EVOKER KING. But he still had the same mission. He had wanted to find and neutralize the Foundation Stone…but at some point, he decided to use it instead. He must have realized that he could weaponize it against the greater threat. You." "THAT IS…A LOT TO PROCESS," said Ash. "So Ms. Minerva brought you in, and you built the dungeon?" Harper asked Theo. "And you reskinned the mobs we fought there?" "Yeah, but you were never supposed to fight them. I WAS TRYING TO KEEP THE EVOKER KING AWAY FROM THE FOUNDATION STONE. He's actually not very creative. So my dungeon

Evoker King进入游戏代码。 她给了它一个简单的命令：找出问题所在并加以解决。 摆脱混乱。维持秩序!”“那他为什么不这么做呢？”摩根问。 “出了什么问题？”“是你，”西奥说。 “当一群孩子出现并开始随意移动东西时，AI的任务变得更加复杂。 建筑。探索。导致的变化。 我的理论是你的出现迫使人工智能进化。 它成为了召唤王。 但他仍然肩负着同样的使命。 他本想找到基石并使之失效……但在某个时刻，他决定转而使用它。 他一定意识到他可以把它武器化来对付更大的威胁。 你。”阿什说：“这是……很多事情要处理。” “那么密涅瓦女士把你带进来，然后你建造了地牢？”哈珀问西奥。 “你给我们在那里与之战斗的暴徒重新剥了皮？”“是啊，但你永远不应该和他们战斗。 我只是想让唤起者之王远离基石。 他实际上并不是很有创造力。 所以我的地牢
