Chapter 598 The Fourth Natural Disaster
"Aguirre, are you going to play games with us today? The instructor said that as long as the grades don't fall below the standard line, playing 'Adventure in Another World' is not considered an absence from class. As long as the grades are scored, we will be counted as credits, and we will have an advantage in employment in the future." .”

Hearing what his college classmates said, Aguirre originally planned to refuse. After all, he already had enough credits and he was not interested in games.

"Have you not had enough of things like virtual dreams? No matter how amazing the creation of meditation in the brain is, it is still limited to your own cognition. How many messy cases have been caused by things like the interface outside the brain? How dare you open it up?" Your own psychological domain?"

"It's really different, super different, we haven't opened up our hearts, but the world is still super real, and I hear there are real-world rewards from it."

In the end, Aguirre couldn't refuse the enthusiasm of his classmates, and with a social-oriented mentality, he was going to go back after playing two games
".Why is it dark?"

When he saw Aguirre full of stars when he went out, his mentality was a bit broken. The Zhenxiang Theorem might arrive on time, but the mentality of a good student who was addicted to virtual games for the first time also made him fearful and uneasy.

But when he got home, when he was asked by his mother why he came back so late today, he answered the truth in hesitation, but got a surprising reply.

The always strict mother actually encouraged herself to play that game more.

Surprised, he asked again and again, only to realize that the coalition government originally encouraged civil servants and all walks of life to play that game, and it even directly related to the evaluation of future promotion and work performance.

And when Aguirre was worried about whether it would affect his studies, the mother gave a small news mysteriously.

"It is indeed a game, but it is not just a game. It is said that it is linked to a real world"

It turns out that this is no longer a secret at the official level. People can get "items", "materials", and "souls" from different worlds in this game, and the technology of the entire Finn Star has made a leap forward because of this.

"It may be dangerous? This is the decision of an 'idealist'. Don't worry, there is no safety hazard."

Are the computing core "idealists" constructed by hundreds of millions of minds encouraged to play?That's fine, isn't this equivalent to an official direct announcement?

So, in the following days, Aguirre became obsessed.

Although in the game, he is just the smallest floating ball man who can only hang out with the hunting group and do jobs like scouts, the real exotic scenery and "monsters" in the game are beyond any virtual dream.

And when he detonated himself for the first time, covered the target with spiritual power, and successfully brought back a "weapon" from another world, he was even more surprised than he could believe it.

"This is actually real, what kind of technology is this?"

I can't understand, has the power of the mind reached this point, it can be projected from another world and then retracted, but Aguirre, who is only a mind engineer, can't understand.

"This is the gift bestowed by the great being, and this is the secret that the 'idealist' exchanges with the great being with a lot of resources"

I asked about my mother who worked in the government, but I could only get ambiguous answers.
But when he handed over the "weapon" on the lower part of the colloidal cylinder and the upper part of the wood fiber cylinder, he really got real currency, and he was immediately overwhelmed.

"Playing games can make money and increase social evaluation, which is really cool."

Next, there will be even more frenzied investigation, tracking, and hunting. During this process, he detonated his mental body countless times, and even the power of his mind has regressed a lot because of this. But the resources obtained in exchange for Let his personal strength improve again.

"It seems that before the age of 40, it is possible to become a real spiritual teacher, and then you have the right to reproduce."

At that time, Aguirre's four eyes were all glowing with excitement. Although it was a bit difficult to operate as a sphere without wings, he, who could use telekinetic power to float himself, quickly got used to this operation and became a The brightest boy in the hunter group.

But today, the hunter group received a big mission, a hunting mission marked as "super epic" by the system.

"What, as long as you catch that monster, you will be rewarded with ten years of living expenses, and you will be granted further growth privileges? Do it, do it anyway."

But how can a task with rich rewards be easy.

That monster is extremely cunning and good at escaping. Once it is cornered, it will hide in the "isolation zone" and use environmental factors to kill the terrain.

"This mission can't be played at all, is there a bug?"

Among the companions, some people really responded to this incident as a bug, and the response they got was "there is no bug in this game. If the task cannot be completed, please use your imagination, or change the game".

"This response is not love to play, not to play"

But don't say, this dream game is too real, even without the messy rewards behind the scenes, it has defeated most of the dream games on the market, and most players have no choice at all.

Even though they complained, the monster boss was still running faster and faster, and the hunter group couldn't give up such a rich reward. They practiced their operations and upgraded their mental bodies, while training their detection and hunting skills.

Finally, after a long hunt, they blocked the BOSS to a dead end again, and this time, the other party couldn't hide in the "safe isolation area"!
After repeated pulling and hunting, they successfully "assimilated" the opponent's mobile limbs and tool limbs, and it seemed that it could not run away.

"Finally, the reward for this epic boss belongs to our hunter group, and everyone is going to get rich."

But as soon as the leader's words fell, he was shattered into mental fragments by the sudden attack.

"Damn it, there must be bugs in this garbage game. The system doesn't intend to let us get rewards at all, so let's have a plot kill when we get it soon!"

Amidst the roar of his companions, Aguirre, who hadn't had time to react, was also shattered into pieces.

And in the last scene in his eyes, many species that looked exactly like the plot boss came running over.

"A lot of bosses, how much reward is this!"

The fourth natural disaster is not afraid of death, only afraid that the system will not send tasks and rewards.
-
At that time, Zheng Li was stunned. He was stunned for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what happened.

This hairball that has affected dozens of worlds is actually an intelligent creature?Many people have similar guesses, but still can't find a way to communicate with them.

Words are invalid, body language?How does a furball body language.

And the most incomprehensible thing is that this kind of creature does not need to eat or sleep, and suddenly appears and disappears suddenly, and the space distance across the world cannot stop them.

Zheng Li speculated and thought about it, but he didn't plan to study it in depth, after all, he still had work to do.

The confusion of the three directions could not trap him for long, and Zheng Li quickly "chosen" the "footprint" of human beings in the direction with the fastest income, which greatly boosted the morale of the pursuers.

But when he really arrived, that unlucky guy had already lost his limbs and almost died on the spot.

"Furballs actually attack humans? There doesn't seem to be such a thing in other worlds, right?"

"At present, no, they only have records of attacking some animals without advanced intelligence."

At this time, Zheng Li felt more and more that something was wrong, and he felt inexplicably familiar with the trajectory of these greedy little things.

And the reality that the driver was attacked and nearly killed made him pay attention to this seemingly irrelevant little thing again.

Ah Qiong’s observations of negative emotions have all failed. This kind of creature is incomplete. Most of the negative emotions are related to desires, and desires are often derived from the needs of the body. The "emotions" of creatures without bodies are too pure, and Ah Qiong cannot guide them.

Most of the normal means of communication will fail naturally, but Zheng Li still has that "magic tool for solving cases" in his hands.

The high-dimensional power of the high-level theocracy is a powerful authority to interfere in the world. At this time, it also broke through the limitations of most methods, and transmitted the "guilt" of the "hairball" to Zheng Li's mind.

Those memory fragments were quite chaotic, and if others saw them, they probably couldn't figure out the ins and outs, and even thought these creatures were mentally disordered.

But Zheng Li knew what was going on just by seeing it.
"It's actually the fourth natural disaster?! If you're a player, it's understandable that you're greedy and annoying about everything, and you don't fear life and death."

The biggest guilt of the unlucky guy who was observed by him with his ability is the recent incident of "addicted to games to skipping classes and failing homework".

When Zheng Li sighed that their world was peaceful, he was also surprised to find that their world might not be in the arena of the gods. So, how did they appear here?

In his memory, Zheng Li also determined that they are a rather unique form of civilization. These humanoid creatures with four eyes and two wings are born with psychological abilities. They follow the route of spiritual evolution, and their "Internet" is the The product of the return of power, "virtual reality" is also a spiritual dream built by individuals and teams.

There are so many inexplicable things that happen every day in this place where multiples meet, even if Zheng Li falls into a group of tentacle monsters outside, it feels quite normal, Zheng Li didn't intend to go into it.

But when the scene of human beings being attacked in front of him was associated with the "system task" in his memory, Zheng Li inevitably thought a little more.

".The system is controlling and guiding the player. Is the game itself killing the driver? Behind them."

Shaking his head, the information is still insufficient to make a judgment, Zheng Li took a look at those lone hairballs who were still wandering in the sky and refused to give up the boss, and had already made up his mind.

"It seems that today's psionic power will be used on them, and I need more samples."

Live hairball?It is too difficult and unrealistic. When they are desperate, they will disappear in the silver light, leaving nothing there.

But just getting close enough to let him use his abilities, Zheng Li couldn't be bothered.

In order to get as much information as possible, Zheng Li only targeted the bigger and brighter hairballs. It seemed that among their group, these were "senior players" who might know more.

Zheng Li's psychic power can still only be used for about ten times of "spying", which also requires the other party's psychic power is not strong, and the spying work will soon be over.

After sorting out the fragments and information, Zheng Li also fell into deep thought. This is no longer a possible problem, but a certain problem, or a super big problem.

The birth of this "game" is not long, probably only over a year. They don't have any advanced "time compression" technology that is beyond comprehension. Every minute is a one-to-one ratio. All hairballs There are actual operators.

They are not as cute as they appear on the outside, they are actually profit-seeking individual players, and they "sacrifice" themselves to dissolve their spiritual power and "sacrifice" their targets back to their homeland.

"Full of divine taste"

The strange thing is that this race does not believe in gods, nor does it have the concept of gods. They only know the great existence, the powerful spiritual power beyond common sense.

They are psychic creatures, born to be good at mind communication and linking, the race doesn't even have the vocal organs of ordinary creatures, naturally there is no concept of "speech",

They are very good at accumulating and superimposing spiritual power. They have a "spiritual Internet" that links the lives of most ethnic groups, and regard it as the balance between individual evolution and group evolution. The super AI that links hundreds of millions of units is the core of their society. Actual guides and leaders are also "great individuals" above substance,
Inexplicably, when he read these messages, Zheng Li felt that something might happen to them.

But then I thought about it, other people's civilizations have developed for at least several thousand years, and that thing has a history of at least several hundred years, and there has been no problem. Is it a bit too arrogant to judge the direction of other people's civilizations with your own ideas?

But more, I still envy. Envy that they are not in the arena of the gods in the death fight, and can escape from this world where all life is suffering.

The technology and the game itself are not their creations, but were traded to them by a great existence from another world. It is said that they have been in contact for a hundred years and gave them a lot of technology. They also gave back a lot of resources to that great existence. Both parties The degree of trust is extremely high, and everyone thinks that the other party is quite trustworthy. The amount of information contained in it is very amazing.

Are there gods outside the land of the gods who can interfere with the world inside?Or, are there gods within who can interfere with the outside world?

Regardless of the conclusion, it means too many things, and Zheng Li is ready to write the report directly.

But he still needs to think about it calmly. This is indeed a major discovery, but at this point in time, perhaps, it is not just a random factor.
"Something is wrong, very wrong, this familiar smell"

Zheng Li kept flipping through the memory fragments in his mind, trying to find something unusual.

Not to mention, after a period of "struggling", he really found it.

It was a huge "bronze statue", a tall bronze statue of a local historical figure whose material is not clear. This is nothing strange in itself, but what puzzled Zheng Li was that this kind of life is pure Psychic creatures, they don't like metal, and most buildings, vehicles, and machinery are not made of metal.

And under the huge bronze statue, there is also a metal Finn, who happened to be alive and kicking to shoot the video.

"Thanks to the metal body manufacturing technology bestowed by the great being. It gave us a second life. To commemorate this friendship, we learned the culture of the great being and shaped this huge metal structure."

There was a red light flickering in the eyes of the huge bronze statue, like a living thing. He looked at the bustling city, and inexplicable emotions wandered in the eyes.

At this moment, Zheng Li understood.

That great existence, who else is there besides God Atel? !This is an old routine!
