Elf Archer of Life in Another World

When all the turmoil passed, it was already half a year later.

This is naturally calculated based on the speed of time in reality, but Qi Youfeng can't help but convert the days of waiting into time in the game world.

For Nian Nian, this is a full year.

Did she wait for this year with Simil in an empty world, or did she spend this year under continuous attacks from the outside world, or would she wait for this year at some point during this year? , has stopped the flow of time.

Qi Youfeng had no way of knowing.

The feeling of powerlessness has been dominating Qi Youfeng's mood since he decided to follow Simil and Nick's plan. Even if his reason tells him that this is just an unchangeable objective reality and there is no need to blame himself and give up, Qi Youfeng still waits The time passed like an obsession.

Every day I lay down in the game warehouse and try to go online. I browse all kinds of news carefully every day, collect some of the information that I think is useful, organize and analyze it, soak in various social platforms, and get to know everyone who has played the game before. People in this game are trying to pull up a net with the game world as a shadow.

Even if it's just a self-comfort test plan, he hopes that when the scope of this net is large enough, he will be able to catch what he wants.

His family was really worried about his condition at the beginning. After Qi Youfeng told him and Nian Nian's affairs in a calm but firm tone, at least the usual frequent persuasion and interference were gone.

He could tell from the attitude of his family that they were actually waiting for time to downplay everything.

He also wanted to wait for time to fade away everything, but at some point his time turned into a countdown, and the more he moved forward, the more heart-wrenching he became.

He knew that what happened every year was a deeper issue, and the little information that was leaked to the general public was of little significance.

For example, if the game suddenly shut down, the official reason given was that the main system was attacked by an unknown source and it was shut down urgently for a comprehensive overhaul.

In view of the commotion caused by Chinese players at the Holy Temple Academy in Gaia before the game was shut down, many uninformed and semi-informed players began to make various wonderful and magical speculations. Western players who were inexplicably kicked out of the game learned about that incident. After making a big fuss, they even started a retaliatory verbal war with anger. After the scolding and incitement, they took the game agent in China to court.

Qi Youfeng, who had been paying attention silently, smelled the smell of conspiracy.

He is just an ordinary person with an ordinary background and limited abilities, but there are other people related to Nian Nian. There are many people like him who have lost their patience in waiting.

The agent is also an official, and the official's attitude towards this end is still a bit ambiguous, so a lot of seemingly true and false news was exposed like a chain reaction.

At the very least, the game world will only close after the self-protection mechanism is activated, and this self-protection mechanism was set up by the headquarters in country H. The partition agent had no knowledge of this before, but the Huaxia agent explained it and shirks it. responsibility.

A lot of professional terms and technical analysis are overwhelming on the Internet. The player group of Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger and the audience attracted by the name H Country all dissect this interesting "self-protection mechanism" with relish.

Where is the conspiracy, it is obviously a conspiracy. Qi Youfeng couldn't help but laugh.

Just when he was trying to figure out who was involved in this matter, in the folder he used to store all the collected information, a compressed data package with all garbled details appeared.

The prey he was catching jumped into his net.

......

The expected storm that swept the world and triggered a major technological and moral and ethical shock did not come.

Qi Youfeng was mentally prepared for this.

Even if he is just an ordinary person with shallow knowledge, he still knows that mind uploading and the failures and successes behind it are not yet ready for emergency publicity, let alone those with more sophisticated and thorough thoughts.

But at a certain level and scope, these things have probably reached a silent consensus among a certain group of people. Otherwise, there would not have been large and small arrests in various fields around the world in a later period of time. The eye-catching news immediately diverted the attention of most onlookers and participants.

Qi Youfeng no longer wastes time collecting news, nor does he no longer maintain and compile the website. Instead, he starts a healthy life of going to bed early and getting up early, doing fitness retreats and studying.

Seeing his family members heaving a sigh of relief, Qi Youfeng remained malicious and said nothing, but he was secretly pleased and apologetically more considerate.

So, on this day when the game was shut down urgently for half a year, Qi Youfeng entered the game warehouse again.

Familiar and simple cutscene, Qi Youfeng opened his eyes and closed his eyes slightly uncomfortable, and then realized where he was.

It must have undergone a thorough restoration and repair. He did not appear at the position when he was offline, but was moved back to the initial resurrection point.

In other words, in the Mohist sect square.

Qi Youfeng was very pleased to see the faces of the NPCs changing after he appeared and the weapons they drew without hesitation. This showed that his character's previous experiences had not been washed away, and he was still the abandoned disciple of the Mohist family.

After finally blocking with the scimitar in his right hand, Qi Youfeng, who had his head lowered, was suddenly stunned for a moment. The scimitar flew out of his hand, allowing himself to be chopped into a piece of white light, and then reappeared on the same spot.

The messy sword light blurred his vision, otherwise how could he have missed the name that should have appeared in his friends list.

Missing every year?

......

--What do you mean? Let me become this world?

——In short, let your consciousness share with all the information in this world, all information that exists, has come, left, changed, fixed, all information, and even all rules.

——Do you want to kill me? My brain will explode!

——I believe in your ability. Your eyes have looked at deeper and wider places.

——Even if I can do it, why should I do it, why do you want me to do it?

——Probably because I neither believe in people who are human, nor believe in people who are no longer human, nor do I believe in people who are not human in the first place, so I can only trust you. ——Tongue twisters are not fun, I didn’t understand them.

——You really don’t understand?

——...Why are you doing this?

Simil, who was thrown to an isolated island in the sea, felt the resentment of Nian Nian very clearly, but this also showed that Nian Nian understood and agreed with his proposal.

Knowing that the world would be entrusted to her, Simil not only felt relaxed, but also finally found the sense of security she wanted.

Simil touched the coconut tree next to him with interest, and tapped the coconut under the tree with a bone stick. He thought that the place of exile prepared for him every year would be considered a pleasant scenery, but he found that he had been knocked by the bone stick. An information box will pop up.

"Name: Raw Coconut.

Origin: An isolated island somewhere in the South China Sea.

Attributes: Edible, providing the character with a certain degree of satiety.

Additional attributes: raw material with extremely limited strength and durability.

Warm reminder: As a special offering for someone, the five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty are distributed randomly. Please be sincerely grateful before opening the coconut, so that you will have good luck~"

Simir sat down cross-legged against the coconut tree, with the bone staff at his feet. He raised the green oval raw coconut above his head and said sincerely:

"I'd appreciate it even more if there was an option to refrigerate it."

......

Zimo and others, who came online at about the same time, quickly rescued Qi Youfeng who was blocked by the NPC at the resurrection point. After a group of people protected Qi Youfeng and left, even Qi Youfeng, who was so disturbed that he was almost despairing, discovered this. world changes.

A flash of solidity value appeared on the stone wall affected by the attack, and players who had established a hostile relationship had health bars and status information visible to both parties above their heads.

The interface in everyone's field of view also has several new buttons. After focusing on a certain player for a certain period of time, an information list covering the character's name, level, sect, and force will appear on the edge of the field of view, and then Two dialog boxes appear: "Whether to hide personal information (excluding character names)" and "Whether to turn on automatic display of other people's information".

Time has become considerable, and you can also choose to display both game and real time at the same time; the information display of friends, classmates, same forces, strangers and enemies has different colors; NPCs that have established friendly or hateful relationships are now displayed A separate list is placed; the task system is as unclear as before in terms of content descriptions and step reminders, and you can only explore it slowly by yourself.

The locations that the character has visited will be highlighted on the "map" interface, but the specific path will not be marked, such as the path that Qi Youfeng once discovered that can be reached from the Qinling Mountains to the back of Bagua City.

Equipment, weapons and many items also have their own detailed displays. Even additional information that players have not yet learned will be represented by a series of asterisks. Of course, the "edible" in the introduction of those strange mushrooms Naturally, it does not mean "safe to eat", but it still leaves a lot of room for exploration by players.

The game has a built-in help function. You can ask some simple questions to the artificial intelligence customer service. It also has a new community section that connects to China Unicom's external network. Regardless of whether you are a player or not, regardless of whether the player is online or not, everyone can freely share and communicate here. The "Secret Place" is an internal LAN that is only open to registered players. Several players who seem to have some related background said that the security of this LAN is unrivaled in the world.

The most puzzling thing is an operation that asks players to confirm whether to upload their financial status and family relationships.

According to feedback from curious players who have tried it, they have to go through a series of cumbersome authority authentications, and finally exchange their personal assets into the economic system of the game world at a certain ratio. From then on, the output and income in the game world will also be affected. Real Account.

Players can choose to project the appearance of their parents and relatives in their homes in the game world, and projections of the player's image can also appear next to their parents in the real world. Although it seems that the effect of this function is still very rigid and somewhat inexplicable, it still It allows them to have real communication across the barriers between the two worlds to a certain extent.

Overall, this world is more like an ordinary game, but it still has not lost its original vividness and flexibility. The connection with reality seems closer and more separated.

Qi Youfeng felt that a mastermind like Simil, who secretly controlled the plot and was secretive, would never appear again in the future. Although it had not been completely identified, he always felt that there was already a person in this game world. There is a clear direction forward, and there will no longer be all kinds of entangled and fragile random changes.

In fact, for every ordinary player, their judgment on which changes are due to small-probability random events caused by the butterfly effect, and which are planned and designed development steps behind the scenes, is not particularly clear. On the contrary, the latter is more To be friendly, so that everyone will not have to face some magical developments that appear out of nowhere.

These are good changes, but they are still the worst situation for Qi Youfeng.

In this increasingly complete world, that person is missing.

"I'm offline, you can play."

Qi Youfeng tried his best to calm down and thanked Zimo for his help, with a slumped look on his face.

Zimo recovered from the interest and surprise in exploring the new features of the game and put his arm around Qi Youfeng's shoulders:

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, Brother Feng, trust me, don't leave in a hurry yet."

Qi Youfeng looked at Zimo.

Zimo touched his nose with a smile, lowered his voice mysteriously, and said:

"As the saying goes, if you have any questions, please contact customer service. If you have lost something, why not consult first?"

Qi Youfeng heard something in his words and opened the new intelligent customer service function suspiciously.

A Q-version villain jumped out of the corner of the interface, pouting, with the upper half of his face hidden in the hood of his cloak. A delicate silver short bow hung on his waist, and he held up a large prompt board with both hands. It’s so big that it blocks half of the interface:

"What question do you want to ask?"

A guess instantly took shape in Qi Youfeng's mind, and he subconsciously spoke directly. Before he finished speaking, he saw the pencil icon flashing next to the prompt board.

After thinking for a while, Qi Youfeng pressed his excited right wrist with his left hand, took a deep breath, and wrote down his question:

"This updated world has lost my person, how can I find her back?"

The villain holding the prompt board remained still for a moment, as if he was dealing with the problem. Soon, the villain threw away the prompt board, took off his hood, revealing his emerald eyes and a big smile.

"Of course I have to pass five levels and kill six generals, fight dragons and dive into the deep sea, and then gather a dozen or so relatives and friends. With fearless courage and patience, coupled with a strong mind and body, I have to hand over the most precious stone. Only by being sincere can you find her~"
