Mystery makes me strong

Chapter 2690 Looking back in time

At this time, an expert couldn't wait to step forward and touch the surface of the crystal.

  Suddenly, the crystal emitted an intense light, and a powerful energy wave spread in the cave.

The faces of the expedition team suddenly became solemn. They knew that they might have triggered some kind of mechanism.

As the crystal awakened, a group of monsters rushed into the cave again.

These monsters began to become more violent.

Their eyes flashed with madness and their attacks became more ferocious.

The expedition team quickly formed a defensive formation and used laser swords and shields to resist the monster's attacks.

The battle became more intense, and every collision made a deafening sound.

In the intervals between battles, Wen Rensheng observed the changes in the crystals.

He discovered that the glow of the crystals seemed to be related to the monster's behavior.

  This crystal is alive!

It flashes different lights, and through combinations of intensity and color, allows the monster to attack in different modes.

"We must destroy this crystal."

The expedition team quickly adjusted their tactics, fighting while attacking the crystals.

After dozens of fierce battles, someone found the weakness of the crystal.

The man's laser sword emitted a dazzling light and pierced straight into the center of the crystal.

The crystal began to crack under the attack of the laser sword, and finally exploded with a loud bang.

As the crystal exploded, the monsters in the cave roared in pain, and their bodies gradually dissipated in the energy fluctuations.

The battle finally ended, and the expedition team sat on the ground exhausted, their bodies covered in sweat and blood.

But there was a gleam of victory in their eyes, they knew that they had found the source of the monster.

"We won!"

"My performance just now was heroic, wasn't it?"

"Humph, you frowned and retreated behind me. I didn't see you kill any monsters by yourself. You always stole the monsters I wanted to kill."

"Nonsense, don't slander someone's innocence out of thin air. Stealing monsters is a player's business. Can it be called stealing?"

That person started talking about what "pinching the blood line accurately" means, what "lasting the kill" means, what "assisting" means...

No one could understand what was said, but happy laughter could be heard in the cave.

On the way back to the spaceship, Wen Rensheng pretended to be lost in thought.

He knew that although they had won the battle, their understanding of the planet was far from enough.

He sent a message to the captain: "We must strengthen our defenses to prevent the monster from attacking again."

"I see. Thank you for leading us."

After returning to the ship, the captain called all the crew members together and they began to discuss how to strengthen the ship's defenses and how to better understand the planet.

"Star Trek" slowly circled above the planet.

Its laser turrets were ready to respond to any possible threats. Wen Rensheng stood in the command room, his eyes looking through the porthole into the depths of the planet.

He knew that this planet hid too many secrets.

And these people have only just begun to explore. There are still many more challenges waiting for them on this planet.

It’s actually quite fun to occasionally play the role-playing games that Xiao Huan plays.

No wonder the emperor liked to make secret visits.

Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger is still a popular play.

…………

After the war, the experts convened the team captains and tactical experts to discuss how to improve the team's combat efficiency.

They analyzed the monsters' attack patterns and developed many detailed tactical plans.

"We want to be advanced players!"

“Can’t be a rookie!”

Experts say so.

"We must make full use of the ship's defense system and integrate it with our tactics." Their voices echoed in the conference room.

The tactical experts nodded in agreement. They quickly drew various possible battle scenarios on the tactical board and discussed how to deal with them.

At the same time, the spacecraft's engineers were also busy.

They carried out a comprehensive upgrade to the spacecraft's defense system, increasing the strength of the energy shield and improving the firepower of the automatic defense turret.

With the skillful hands of engineers, the spacecraft's defense system has become more powerful.

The energy shield flickered a faint blue light in the starry sky, as if it were a protective film for the spacecraft.

Automatic defense turrets slowly rotate around the spacecraft, ready to strike at invaders at any time.

In order to test the actual combat capabilities of the defense team and the spacecraft defense system, they decided to conduct an actual combat exercise after everyone made a unanimous decision.

The captain ordered the spacecraft to land on the planet again.

And the noise attraction is turned on.

Suddenly, a group of monsters rushed out from the shadows of the nearby forest.

Their movements are swift and ferocious.

"Activate the defense system! Prepare for battle!" The captain's voice rang out in the command room, with a calm light flashing in his eyes.

The spacecraft's energy shield rippled under the monster's attack, but it remained as solid as a rock.

The automatic defense turrets opened fire rapidly, and the laser beams drew beautiful traces in the atmosphere.

The members of the defense team also acted quickly. Wearing special combat uniforms and holding laser swords and shields, they rushed towards the monster.

On the ground, their figures intertwined with the monsters, forming a thrilling battle.

Not many monsters were attracted and the battle ended quickly.

The team lost 23 people.

This is not much, after all, there are more than 100,000 people on the entire spacecraft.

Wen Rensheng and tactical experts conducted a detailed analysis of the drill.

They summarized the gains and losses in the battle and further improved the tactical plan.

"Your performance is good, but there is still room for improvement." Wen Rensheng's voice was filled with a hint of satisfaction, but more of anticipation, "You must always be prepared to face real threats."

The crew nodded.

There was confidence in their eyes.

After all, they won't die.

But Wen Rensheng found that there seemed to be something wrong here.

They seemed immortal, but Wen Rensheng could feel that they seemed to be missing something.

What is that?

As an experienced person, he soon found out.

That's authenticity.

Yes, the realism of these players has decreased.

The so-called authenticity is the most important thing in the world.

Whether a world can exist for a long time in the void depends on how real it is.

This authenticity is very important. How to obtain it is naturally through the engraving and anchoring from the real world.

Wen Rensheng smiled.

So everything has a price.

The alien being who possesses alien species and is immortal must be some evil god.

Sure enough, he succeeded.

In a very gentle way.

Others are getting better soon, but this method is used to deprive individuals of their authenticity.

…………

Inside the command room of Star Trek.

The captain sat alone in the dim light, his eyes fixed on the report in his hand.

The data and records in the report revealed a disturbing truth: every time players died in the game world, they lost something precious, and these things seemed to be related to a mastermind behind the scenes.

The captain's brow furrowed, his fingers tapping lightly on the pages of the report.

He knew that this discovery was of great significance, as it might affect the current balance of the entire Dongzhou world and the safety of its people.

He never imagined that there was actually a conspiracy behind immortality.

In fact, many people thought so from the beginning.

Even more than 80% of people think so.

However, immortality is too tempting.

Since the first person can still act like a 80-year-old at the age of 20, it is no longer possible to control it.

"This is not just a game, this is a war." The captain's voice rang out.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the command room. He knew no one would believe him.

But he believed it anyway.

This report comes from that mysterious SSS-level alien.

The other party would not be making a fuss, nor would he be joking with him.

This should be true.

There was hesitation and questioning in his eyes, which finally turned into determination.

He decided to find the mastermind himself and uncover the truth of the conspiracy.

He stood up, walked out of the command room and headed towards the spacecraft's transmission room.

The door to the transport room slowly opened, and the captain walked in. He activated the transport device and selected a coordinate.

This transmission technology is also the latest technology.

Able to return directly to the Dongzhou world.

With a flash of light, his figure disappeared in the teleportation room.

…………

After some effort, the captain came to a dark room.

The room was surrounded by black curtains and there was an oppressive atmosphere in the air.

In the center of the room, a man in a black robe had his back to him.

"You're here." The voice of the man in black robe was hoarse and low. He slowly turned around, revealing a pale face.

A hint of vigilance flashed in the captain's eyes. He knew that this person was the mastermind he was looking for.

He took a deep breath and looked the black-robed man straight in the eyes.

"Why did you do this?" The captain's voice was calm and powerful. "Do you know how much harm your actions will cause to the players?"

The man in black robe laughed, and his laughter echoed in the room with a hint of madness.

"Hurt? No, I'm teaching them a lesson." There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "They think they can play with the whole world at will, but they are wrong."

"Immortality, is it that easy to obtain?"

"You know too little about this void and are too self-righteous!"

The captain's face darkened. He knew that the ideas of the mastermind behind this had deviated from the normal track.

He had to find a way to convince him, or stop him.

"Your behavior has violated human rules, and you will pay the price for it." There was a hint of anger in the captain's voice.

The man in black robe almost laughed.

  What kind of bullshit is this?

"That's ridiculous. You don't even know if I'm a human being, and you say that?"

The captain stepped forward, drew a dagger, and stabbed the opponent in the kidney.

This blow was hard and heavy.

There was a hint of surprise in the black-robed man's eyes. He did not expect the captain to do this.

He was stabbed.

But he was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Do you think you can stop me? You are too naive."

The captain did not answer, his eyes were fixed on the man in black robes.

He knew that this psychological battle had just begun. He had to stay calm and find the black-robed man's weakness.

In the next few hours.

The captain and the man in black robe had a fierce contest.

They discussed the meaning of life using the simplest weapons.

Human rights and responsibilities were discussed.

The captain used his knowledge and wisdom, his fists and teeth, to try to persuade the black-robed man to give up his conspiracy.

Finally, after this heated debate, the man in black robe fell silent.

He was beaten black and blue by the other party.

Wen Rensheng, who had been observing this scene, had a hint of amusement in his eyes.

As expected, this guy is just an ordinary power user.

The alien species provides immortality, but it cannot make him invincible.

An ordinary captain could beat him into a mess.

He seemed to be thinking about the captain's words during this boxing.

"I'll consider your suggestion."

The black-robed man's voice was low.

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

The figure gradually went away and finally disappeared.

The captain sat down.

At this time, several inspectors came quickly and took him away.

"Go find that gentleman. He knows how to solve the problem."

The captain said so.

Wen Rensheng stood in the empty room.

A trace of amusement filled his heart.

He naturally knew that the battle was not over yet.

It is inevitable that the immortal has a conspiracy.

But many people actually already know it, but still choose to turn a blind eye.

After all, they have already enjoyed the benefits of longevity in advance.

Although this will cost them later, they don't care.

…………

The central planet of the Dongzhou world.

There is a towering parliament hall here.

Many inspectors were having heated discussions.

They just made one thing clear.

Longevity is indeed poisonous.

In fact, everyone had guessed it a long time ago.

What they lack is a sufficiently authoritative and high-level presence to make the final decision for them.

Everyone sat around a huge round table, and everyone had a solemn expression on their face.

Various reports and maps were scattered on the table, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

"We must take measures to stop the fall of this world!"

An older inspector stood up.

"If our world continues like this, it will become nothingness!"

"When the authenticity of each resident disappears, their descendants will also disappear."

The other inspectors nodded one after another. They knew that the world was poisoned.

It was their own greed that caused the disaster.

"I suggest that we start the time travel plan." Another inspector proposed a bold idea, "Let's go back to the past and find back what we have lost."

The proposal immediately sparked heated discussion.

Some inspectors support the idea as the only solution; others worry it could have unforeseen consequences.

Then someone asked, “Who can do that?”

Just when everyone was in a stalemate, Wen Rensheng walked into the parliament hall.

His appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

As the highest existence in this world.

His opinion and presence are crucial to the inspectors.

"Mr. Wen, what do you think of the time-travel plan?" an inspector asked anxiously.

Wen Rensheng smiled and glanced across the council hall.

His heart was filled with a sigh.

He knew that this decision would affect the future of the entire world.

In fact, most of the world is similar.

Not that good, not that bad.
