Chapter 563 Chapter 560 "Let me... sleep for a while."

[Lord God World · 250 server]

Noel was pacing on the side of the street, looking at the communication panel that had been [no answer], feeling a little worried.

... Su Mingan has not answered his communications.Logically, this is not sleep time.Why do you keep not answering the communication?

Noel was nervous for a long time, and finally received a reply after waiting from the afternoon to the evening.

He chose to agree, and with a flash of white light, he was teleported to Su Mingan's personal space.

The simplicity here is extreme, the monotonous wooden table, the narrow single bed, the ground that can hardly squeeze your feet...

...and Su Mingan who was sitting on the bed with his head down.

"Su Mingan?" Nuo Er suddenly found several tubes of injections on the table.

The needle tube was bright red, and there was still some blood-like liquid in it, as if it had just been injected.Knowlton became tense for a moment, and he realized that this was the mental stability potion Su Mingan had mentioned earlier.

"Are you okay?" Nuo Er immediately squatted down and looked directly into Su Mingan's eyes.

He saw a pair of calm eyes.

No waves, no sadness, no pain, not even the slightest bit of negativity.

He heard Su Mingan's faint voice.

"...I'm fine." Su Mingan said, "The medicine is very effective...I feel very relaxed."

"What's wrong? What happened this afternoon?" Noel didn't feel right.

Su Mingan stretched out his hand and threw the used injections into the waste bin one by one.The waste bin has the function of automatically cleaning up the garbage, and after he throws away the injection, it becomes as clean as new again.

He stared blankly at the injection that disappeared in the barrel, and remembered what he had just seen.

【The truth of the world】.

Xiaona...or the existence behind her, showed him a...fantasy.

A very real illusion, as if reappearing what happened in the past.

At the moment the world game begins,
At the moment when the city is still, the pedestrians are still, and he walks out of the coffee shop,
The screen changes.

At that moment - he saw Zhai Xing who was riddled with holes, like the ruins of the doomsday.

The city's busy traffic stopped at the moment the game started, as if the beautiful illusion suddenly disappeared, and what unfolded in front of his eyes was a scene of ruins in the end of the world.

The rest, the 60 billion people who should have been suspended for time and were not selected into the game, simply disappeared.

…like when he knocked down the black wall that had held them back for so long, only to find that there was nothing outside.Zhai Xing became empty, even if the world game ended, there would be no one there anymore.

It was as if—the World Game had probably been held more than once, and they were the seventh batch of participants.

The previous six groups of people, those 60 billion people... are no longer there, and they have all been destroyed because the progress bar of the previous six world games did not meet the standard.

He was shocked by this guess and trembled all over. At that time, Xiaona appeared beside him and whispered to him——

"That's fine too, right?"

"Even if you only become the gods of one billion people, you will find it very interesting? Excluding the six billion people who have failed, you may be the first batch of people who can succeed...?"

Xiaona's voice was very low, but there was a focus of observation in those beautiful slender eyes.

Seeing this, Su Mingan immediately chose to backtrack.

His attitude of extreme fear has been seen by the organizers, and he must not leave hidden dangers.

After he returned to the file, he calmed down and was ready to see the doomsday scene again, and then he accepted Xiaona's appointment again and was transported to that void.

——But at that time, he found that the picture had changed.

It is no longer a scene of "60 billion people disappear, Zhai Xing becomes doomsday".Instead, it became a scene of "Zhai Xing ascended the dimension, and everyone sharply became a high-dimensional creature, and began to fight and fight with each other, and finally the entire army was wiped out".

He realized something immediately.

He noticed that Xiaona was floating not far away in the void, watching him intently.

Seeing this, he went back again.

For the third time, he came here at an appointment, and what he saw was indeed another scene.

Logically speaking, there is only one [truth of the world].The truth is the truth, how can there be so many truths, some of which are completely opposite?

Every time he rewinds, he sees a different [truth of the world].

…Unless, these are not the truth, but illusions.

Otherwise, he would not see different "truths" in different weeks.

He figured it out quickly.

—— Xiaona is playing a game of [Schrödinger's Cat].

That is, a cat is sealed in a secret room with poison. If the nucleus decays and releases the cyanide gas in the poison bottle, the cat will die.

And the decay of atomic nuclei is a random event—so the cat would always be in a superposition of live and inactive states.Only at the moment when the cover is lifted can one know exactly whether the cat is dead or alive.

Uncovering the cover is a state of "decision", not a state of "observation"—whether people lift the cover to see will determine the life and death of the cat and change the state of the cat.

Therefore, before he stepped into that void and observed the so-called [truth of the world], this [truth of the world] was uncertain.It will automatically generate an ending based on the subtle differences between his different retracements, such as the difference in stride, walking speed, and even the number of breaths.as a mapping function.

Therefore, the pictures he sees every week are different.

It has nothing to do with truth or falsehood, nor is it the truth, it is just an automatically generated picture.

As for Xiaona, by observing whether he is surprised by this change, she can judge whether he has super-standard abilities like [prophecy], [deduction] or [return].

...it made him panic.

She was testing him in this way.

She was crossing timelines, crossing worldlines, and testing him with slight inconsistencies in his possible attitudes.

Xiaona's way of probing is almost exactly the same as Noel's.

Although Xiaona's intention is just Su Mingan's guess, there is even a slight possibility that this guess is true...

"—Su Mingan, Su Mingan?"

Noel's hand waved in front of his eyes, and he looked up.

The so-called [truth of the world] he saw this week was a scene where "the top players all collapsed and the human progress bar failed to meet the standard".Therefore, the panic, fear and other emotions he is showing now... There shouldn't be any problems.

It just fit with his real state of mind at this time.

It should not be exposed that "he has a rollback, so he saw a different [truth of the world]".

In the last episode, what he saw was "The Truth of the World" in which "human beings reached the final score, and the organizers are extremely friendly to human beings, even Boss Rabbit came to save human beings".This positive "truth" definitely doesn't match his true emotions of panic, and it's easy to expose his super-standard abilities.

But it should be fine now.

He rolled back six times, faking a normal version of himself.

He lowered his head slightly, actually starting to feel sick.

He bent down involuntarily, put his hands on the side of the bed and retched a few times, and suddenly realized that this was an adverse reaction of the mental stabilizing medicine.He took too much medicine in a short period of time, and his body has not yet adapted to it.

"Cough, cough, cough... vomit..."

The severe dizziness began to hit his mind, he lowered his head, leaned forward, and pressed his chest and abdomen, trying his best to relieve the nausea.

While retching, a thought actually popped up in his heart—his current mood is quite in place, which is in line with the state of seeing the negative [Truth of the World] just now, and he should not be exposed.

Even though her mind is in a mess and her body is extremely uncomfortable, she can still deliberately pretend to be like this based on Xiaona's possible setup...

Is this an instinct?

...a ridiculous instinct.

Noel immediately patted him on the back.

"Su Ming'an, is your mental state the same as mine?" Noel said, "Your situation is obviously more serious than mine, and you said it was fine before..."

"Stop taking pictures." Su Mingan said.

People who want to vomit can't be slapped on the back at all. Noel is still being patted there, but now he is slapped so hard that he wants to vomit.

Noel stopped immediately, with a slightly embarrassed expression:
"What did you go through this afternoon? You were also invited to a place by the organizer?"

Noel knew that there were many players with special identities who had been invited by the organizer.He himself had been there a few days ago.

But before leaving that place, they signed an agreement that they could not reveal what they saw. As long as they tried to disclose, their voices would be automatically silenced.

Su Mingan took a breath.

"Yes," he said.

He suspected that the place he and Nuo Er and others went to was not the same place.

But he can guess - this should be an action by the organizer to differentiate humans.For example, tempting Edward to become a special status person.For example, persuading Noel to embrace Gao Wei.Or, use the resurrected sister as a temptation to persuade Mizushima Chuanku to give up the perfect customs clearance and so on.

It is getting harder and harder.

……too difficult.

Su Mingan knew long ago that he could not pin his hopes on others.And now, this feeling is more and more obvious.

——He can't even guarantee that even one person has the same thoughts as him, and has the determination and ability to definitely go on.

At this moment, a severe sleepiness suddenly hit his heart.

Human beings need sleep because they need to be in this state for spiritual peace.

The mental stabilization potion he had just used seemed to be giving him a chance to rest.

He squinted his eyes, and fell to the side uncontrollably.

Noel immediately pulled him back and let him fall on the bed.

"...Let me." Su Mingan said, "Sleep for a while."

His state has been clearly normal.

His mood has obviously been stable.

He is not at all like Noel, who is so exaggerated that he can't see any color, nor is he like Edward, who has extremely strong emotions of madness and collapse.

But after using the potion, he suddenly realized...

Some patients are not aware that they are sick.

...like a lunatic who always thinks he's normal.

Nuoer said softly: "Su Ming'an, I don't know where you went just now, and I don't know what you saw. But I think there is nothing to be afraid of. Since we have worked hard to the extreme, we should be more optimistic..."

Listening to Nuo Er's extremely soft words, Su Ming'an closed his eyes.

"...good night," Noel said.

……

Su Mingan occasionally has lucid dreams.

The feeling of controlling one's dreams and learning to think in dreams is fascinating.

Sometimes, he would meet his father, and he would chat with the father he imagined in his dreams, as if this could dispel all suffering.

Sometimes, he also thinks of his grandma.Grandma will give him sweets and protect him from being beaten and scolded.

While falling into a dream, his consciousness gradually became blurred.

...Is he still conscious?Still asleep?
He couldn't see anything, even everything was a mixture of black, white and gray.

He couldn't hear any sound, as if the world had become nothingness.

He had nightmares.

He dreamed that Zhai Xing was destroyed, everyone died long ago, and the world game was just a dream of his.

He dreamed that he was not him, but just a clone sent down by a high-dimensional creature. All his memories, will, and ideals were meaningless, and they were just fabricated thinking products.

He dreamed that his death file was actually given by the organizer. They were like playing with an ant, watching him struggle in the death of reincarnation, adding a little fun to the game.

He dreamed that even if he struggled to the end and fought to the end, he would not be able to save Zhai Xing, the human progress bar had not reached the target, and everyone would die together.People with special identities cannot return to their human identities, and disappear into the dust of the universe with the disappearance of the game.

In the end, he finally dreamed of a somewhat happy ending.

He saw himself filling up the progress bar bit by bit, collecting all the tattoos that had passed the level perfectly, seeing the return of the homeland, the rebuilding of the homeland, and the smiles on people's faces again.

...Then he left without looking back, disappeared from people's sight forever, his figure shattered little by little, and disappeared like melting ice and snow.

This pain of death was so familiar that it actually made him feel like "nostalgia".

——So much so that when he opened his eyes, the picture of his complete death still appeared in front of his eyes.

The alarm clock that Noel placed on the table before Noel left rang, and it was now exactly eleven o'clock in the evening.

Su Mingan turned off the alarm clock with a 'snap', blinked, and suddenly found that the eyes suddenly seemed to be much brighter.

Bright interior light, bright yellow woodcarvings of despicable people, bright white walls...

The layer of gray mist that had been covering his eyes has dissipated with this sleep.Even his mood at this time is very stable, and he doesn't have the uncontrollable trembling feeling in the afternoon.

The effect of the medicine is very good, as long as the side effects are overcome, it will really have a therapeutic effect.

He calmed down his breath, quickly expelled those nightmare scenes from his mind, opened his personal panel, and began to use points.

Since the end of the Eighth World, he has not used points, just to add points at the last moment to make the best decision.

It was exactly eleven o'clock in the evening, he had slept all afternoon, and he would enter the Ninth World in an hour.

Since he bought 60 points of spiritual medicine in the afternoon, he now has 796 points.

Open the email, and first receive the equipment advancement right given by the special easter egg.

He thought about it for a while, and thought of his poor mobility in the shadow state, he chose the water environment boots, and promoted this red-level equipment to purple-level.

……

[Water Environment Boots (Purple): "Let the seawater fill my chest... how hot it is in my arms."

Bounce: SS (highest)
Running speed +30%
Special skill (stab): active skill, kick forward, causing 50 (fixed damage) + 8*strength point damage, this attack has a special destructive effect on obstacles, and has a special destructive effect on space objects such as enchantment barriers .

Special Skill (Long Song Xing): Passive skill.You gain the ability to "walk on water", which slightly increases the rate of physical exertion when used. 】

……

After the upgrade, the water boots have a destructive effect on space items.The most satisfying thing is to upgrade to the jumping ability of SS, which is the highest level of jumping ability in the world game.

He crushed the three skill promotion stones obtained from the main task of the eighth world, and chose to advance to "space" in all of them.

After upgrading to [Space lv.6], new space skills appeared.

……

[Space lv.6:

Long-distance spatial displacement: Each time it is used, it consumes 30 points of mana.After the five space displacements are used up, you need to wait half an hour to restore the charge.

Space vibration: Use space vibration to attack enemies from a distance (the power has been increased)

Space Concealment: Consume mana continuously to build a concealed space, which cannot be discovered by beings weaker than you (except super-standard skills). 】

……

The improvement of space skills is mainly focused on [space displacement], the mana consumption has been reduced from 120 points to 30 points, and the number of uses has increased from three times in one hour to five times in half an hour.Even the bright state can have great mobility.

The second is the new skill, Space Concealment.Su Mingan had heard of this skill before, it was similar to Domain.

...Now, he finally has domain-like skills.

Domains can exist in a certain area for a long time, and can even draw others in to hide together.This will provide him with a great deal of error tolerance in his risky attacking process. Cooperating with his space comprehension and lamb enchantment, he may be able to figure out some new ways to play.

He spent 50 points to replenish the magazines of the two purple guns, and all the remaining points were used to add points to the four dimensions.

Added 60 points of strength to the bright state, and piled up the strength to 140 points. There is a passive [Power Suppression], which can suppress all attacks under 100 points of strength. Swinging a sword will have priority judgment.

In the shadow state, 60 points of spirit were piled up, and the pile reached 217 points. After all, the san value dungeon is too scary, and high spirit means high resistance.

Moreover, each point of spiritual attribute will bring 20 points of mana cap, and the mana value represents the total amount of damage that can be dealt, of course, the higher the better.

He still wants to add more points, but he has already reached the upper limit.Tier [-] players can only add so many attribute points, plus they have to wait until Tier [-].

He will not use the remaining 146 points, leaving a certain amount of buffer points.

After doing all this, his combat power soared from 2650 to 3000, which is a big boost.This wave of the Eighth World is almost equal to the sum of his gains from the previous two worlds.

...So, the gap between the top players and the ordinary players will really only get bigger and bigger, like the difference between cloud and mud.

In the following time, he briefly chatted with a few friends.

The chat in the world at this time is very lively, full of "The Ninth World is finally here!" In the world of Bo Xianxia, ​​I made a mistake and eat Lu Shu upside down!" and other words.

He sat on the bed, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and adjusted his state.

Every time the world is copied, he walks on a tightrope, dancing with danger and death.

... I hope this dungeon can go a little bit smoother.

While he was waiting, the time came to zero bit by bit.

……

【2024/01/18，0:00】

"Ding dong!"

[Break time is over - dear players, welcome back to the world game! 】

[The Ninth World: City of Measurement, Akto.Global open [-]-person dungeon/specific development-type dungeon. 】

[Participating players: 329801928 people! 】

[Measurement City will be replicated into 32980 identical copies, and each copy will invest about 10000 players in the game! 】

[Because the player entered the game for the ninth time and no longer learns the common language for communication, 10 points will be automatically deducted to learn the common language of the ninth world! 】

【——The world begins! 】

……

His eyes were shrouded in white light.

"——[Dawn] The intelligent brain divides human beings into eight major personalities based on their temperament and psychological state, and human talents are scientifically quantified and classified, thus establishing a new order..."

He heard a gentle male voice.

But that voice... seemed to come from his own mouth.

After he realized this, the sound stopped.

He blinked, and saw a large classroom...and a mass of black heads.

People sat in the classroom like obedient students, raising their eyes together, looking at him earnestly and admiringly.Looking at the number of students, there are at least 150 people.

He looked down and found himself sitting on a chair at the podium, looking as if he was giving a lecture.

……what's the situation?
What kind of possession method is this?
He blinked, and the classroom fell into an eerie silence for a while.

He suddenly saw a young teaching assistant next to him, walking up with a worried expression, and nervously supported him:
"... Are you okay? Are you in good health?"

Seeing that Su Mingan was still in a daze, the teaching assistant acted extremely restrained, and gently shook his shoulder:
"...Dr. Actor?"
