King from scratch

Somewhere in the Temple of Knowledge.

There is no decoration in the room, a square thing is suspended in the middle of the empty room, it is shrouded in extremely high concentration of ether, it can also be said that it is suspended in an extremely strong beam of light—just this beam of light It cannot be seen with the naked eye.

The cube is like a patchwork of countless fragments, with dense cracks all over it.

The other room connected to this place is far more lively than this one. Many tools have filled the room to the brim. There is a faint blue light in the stove, and the dwarf is struggling to swing the hammer.

The other half of the room has turned into another scene. Books are stacked high and scattered all over the floor. A black robe is sitting on the ground. In front of him, the ether draws complex lines by itself, and bursts out electricity from time to time. The color of flashing thunder is suddenly extinguished from time to time.

These two people with completely different styles are in the same room, no one pays attention to the other, and work hard on their own... until the visitor breaks the silence here.

With a small horn on his forehead and a pretty face, the demon Shi Shiran walked into the room, walked around the floating cube with great interest, and stretched out his hand towards it.

A bolt of lightning struck straight down, hitting the back of his hand.

The demon stopped moving, turned his head and asked the two people in the other room: "Not stable yet?"

Adisseo swung the hammer on his own, the mage at the side raised his eyelids, glanced at the demon, and asked without answering, "Why are you here?"

"Did you forget the time again?" Nubida took out a notebook and asked, "Where is the progress report for this month?"

"There is still no progress," the mage said angrily, "Why don't you just copy the progress report from last month? What are you doing all the time here? No one welcomes you here."

"Of course I'm here for review and approval." Nubida stuffed the notebook back in his hand again: "The results of your experiment approval last year are already very dangerous. If there is no progress this year, the project will be cut by then, so don't come looking for it." I."

Adisseo stopped swinging the hammer, and was very puzzled by the demon's words: "Cutting anyone else's project won't cut mine. You made a special trip just to talk nonsense?"

Nubida: "Look at your attitude, what do you mean if you cut someone else's project, you won't cut your project? It seems like you have more face."

Adisseo said bluntly, "My project is ordered by His Majesty the King."

Nubida grinned triumphantly: "Isn't the situation different now? How long has His Majesty the King disappeared..."

As soon as he said this, the mage and the dwarf suddenly looked at him together.

The atmosphere at the scene became strange.

Nubida gasped and came back again: "It's only been 20 years, maybe I'll be back tomorrow."

The mage twitched the corners of his mouth, and started to deduce the ether pattern again. Adisseo is a real person, and he sighed regretfully seeing that the demon did not seek his own death.

His Majesty the King has indeed disappeared, but the kingdom is still there, and so are the increasing number of players. The management of the kingdom rests with those kingdom elites, who are all diehard fans of His Majesty the King—— Die-hard fan of honor waging a pointless war.

The main reason why the new continental order centered on the kingdom was able to maintain its vitality after the disappearance of His Majesty the King without causing turmoil was that even if His Majesty the King disappeared, the players and the kingdom were still in the same camp.

In the face of more than one billion players, who can come up with the idea of ​​"he can replace him"?

Of course, this is also directly related to the invasion of the mainland by the new civilizations on the outermost periphery of the mainland.

The enemy is watching outside, waiting to come in to get a piece of the pie, so naturally there is no reason for the mainland to fall apart first.

What's more, the number and ferocity of the new civilizations in the outermost periphery of the mainland have exceeded the expectations of the mainland.

If His Majesty the King hadn't built a road across the Broken Void between the Broken Void and the South China Sea, kept the enemy out at the gap in the barrier, and confined the battlefield outside the barrier instead of the Broken Void, the current situation in the mainland It is absolutely impossible to be so peaceful. I am afraid that the scene when the Zerg attacked the mainland has already begun to reappear.

Nubida changed the topic around, avoiding the sensitive word "His Majesty the King".

"The current situation is different. It refers to the Continental Conference held before," Nubida reminded the two scientific researchers with shallow political awareness: "At the conference, all ethnic groups reached an agreement to expand the world's territory and supplement the scientific system."

Adisseo and the mage exchanged glances, then looked at Nubida: "What does this have to do with my research?"

Nubida heaved a long sigh, quite moved: "Why did the Continental Congress make this decision?"

He didn't want to get an answer from these two people, and said to himself: "Because the Palace of Knowledge has completed the complete construction of the framework of the scientific system, that is to say, the things in the ruins of the Salfa Federation are no longer enough, we need more Many things, filling the missing part of the scientific system, until the door of world projection is opened."

The dwarves and mages looked blank, and they still didn't expect this to have anything to do with their research projects.

"Right now all the energy is focused on this point, so those unimportant, unprogressive, and unrelated to the scientific system research..." Nubida spread his hands at Adisseo: "Of course, we can cut it if we can. "

"Research that is unimportant, has no progress, and has nothing to do with the scientific system..." The mage said to Adisseo as if he had discovered a new world: "Isn't this just talking about your research?"

"I came here specially to remind you," Nubida said, "If you still make no progress, even if there is a kingdom standing behind you, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep this research project."

"After all, everything we do is for the new world." Nubida straightened his clothes and said, "That new world is filled with endless wealth, land, and population."

Nubida ran for a trip, and after saying these words, he left, leaving behind the dwarves and mages who were thinking hard about this issue.

A few days later, a special task was mixed into the player-oriented tasks.

He Xingwen manipulated the game characters to turn east and west in the vast hall of knowledge. Fortunately, with the small map and the distance between the mission target, He Xingwen successfully arrived at the mission destination.

The dwarf npc has Adisseo's name on his head, but seeing this scene through a shoddy computer screen, it is really difficult to make people feel reunited after a long absence.

What's more, the other party kept jumping out of the dialogue and explaining the next task steps to He Xingwen. The whole process was no different from the previous tasks that He Xingwen had accepted, and it was difficult to create a sense of substitution.

He Xingwen propped his forehead with one hand, and tapped on the keyboard with the other, as usual, skipping the task dialogue directly, but the cube in the corner of the screen attracted his attention.

This looks like a cube, at most it is floating in the air that makes it different from ordinary cubes.

In fact, in this shoddy game, even the dwarf's forge and the mage's experimental site are a bunch of exaggerated textures.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for He Xingwen to see the more specific details on the cube - even if it can jump out of a robot, it is at best a rough map...

He Xingwen made little movements, and the pre-quest dialogue ended.

After instructing the players, Adisseo and the mage retreated to another room.

He Xingwen, who read the mission description in detail, looked up and found that the dwarf and the mage had retreated a long way, and he and the cube were left here, and he couldn't help feeling a little dazed for a while.

Why are they running so far?

Logically speaking, the research on the mechanical body should not be very lethal, right?At least it shouldn't be the kind of semi-finished product that will explode casually, right?

Isn't this thing an auxiliary tool?

He Xingwen's head was full of question marks, but there was no more detailed introduction to this semi-finished product in the mission statement, so he simply followed the mission statement and took two steps forward to the cube.

The cube in front of the game character on the screen is still slowly turning.

He Xingwen manipulated the mouse to click on the cube, and two options popped up.

"1. Launch semi-finished product 2. Cancel"

He Xingwen chose to start the semi-finished product.

Although the rough picture quality makes this scene look like a low-quality special effect, He Xingwen has not forgotten that this happened in the real world. Seeing that the semi-finished product is about to show the dwarf's 20 years of hard work, He Xingwen can't help looking forward to it.

I saw it split from the middle, and those complicated mechanical designs were driven by abundant energy, revealing their true colors...

The screen was grayed out, and the system prompts about the drop of favorability and skill level flashed by, and the scene in front of He Xingwen's screen became a resurrection point.

The dwarves and mages in the connected room responded extremely quickly. Seeing that the ether fluctuations were rising steadily and surpassed the critical value in an instant, they simultaneously activated the defensive measures in the laboratory.

The moment the white light came on, strong energy fluctuations erupted in the empty room, and an explosion occurred in the room. Fortunately, the lethality it caused was limited to the room.

Maybe that's why it's so empty here.

The intense energy swept across the entire room, and some kind of protective measures firmly bound the uncontrolled energy to ensure that it would not cause more destructive consequences.

"It failed again, and the energy is still unstable." The dwarf looked at the semi-finished product that had been restored to a cube, puzzled: "What went wrong? Obviously every auxiliary function has been tested, why did the energy of the mechanical body activate?" Will it get out of control?"

"Is there a conflict with the soul circuit designed by Embers for the mechanical body?" The mage was thoughtful, and this suspicion was not the first time. After all, Embers did not understand science at all, but he Partly, other people can't get involved at all. In the end, the so-called "soul circuit" is said to be personally operated by the Undead Emperor...

Considering the authority of the Undead King in the field of death and soul, no one dared to ask "Is there something wrong with your design?" The dwarves and mages tried hard to find out the problem of violent energy fluctuations when the semi-finished product was started. where.

In the end, of course, it was not found.

This semi-finished mechanical body is not only stuffed with the "soul circuit" designed by the undead, it is itself an extremely complicated product of cooperation.

Dwarves are in charge of machinery, designing the framework of the mechanical body; mages are in charge of the etheric circuit, designing the function of the mechanical body to drive the ether; undead are in charge of the "soul" or "consciousness", allowing the mechanical body to produce logical functions.

The professional fields of the three have their own strengths, so this thing cannot be activated, and it is difficult to say which part is in conflict.

Of course, the most likely thing must be the part responsible for the undead, after all, it sounds unreliable to create souls...

When He Xingwen rushed back to the mission site from the resurrection point, the dwarf and the mage were still reviewing the cause of the energy loss.

He Xingwen's mission has been completed. Just like the previous "semi-finished product test" missions, the player is only responsible for using his life to obtain the test result. As for whether the test result is good or bad, it has nothing to do with the player.

The reason why He Xingwen rushed back was also very simple - he couldn't figure it out, how could it be bombed just like that?

The dwarves have been researching for 20 years at least, and if the research is not successful, they can't research a bomb, right?

Adisseo and the mage didn't care that he went and returned, and they were still immersed in the frustration of failure.

He Xingwen went straight around the cube as if nothing had happened, and clicked the mouse again unwillingly.

Hearing the "click click" sound from the mechanical rotation again, the dwarf was startled, and reflexively turned on the protective measures.

With a flash of white light, the screen in front of He Xingwen turned into a resurrection point again.

With the facts in front of his eyes, He Xingwen had to admit that there seemed to be something wrong with the dwarf project.

Of course, considering the difficulty of this project, it is normal for it to have problems. It would be abnormal if a new race could be created smoothly.

He Xingwen manipulated the game character to circle the resurrection point twice, habitually thinking about the solution to the problem.

Just when he was distressed by the difficulty of this problem, the rough texture on the screen suddenly reminded him, what does the problem of the research project have to do with him, an ordinary player?

It is impossible for someone to think that players can solve this problem, right?

After figuring this out, He Xingwen breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention back to the game.

After clearing the wave of missions in the Hall of Knowledge, his skill level not only kept up with the main force, but also surpassed it by a large margin. He is definitely a master.

Clearing missions can no longer meet He Xingwen's needs, he needs advanced game experience, for example...

Xinghan Canlan: 【Find a few people, let's brush up the dungeon. 】

Wu Xing, who was bored and fished, instinctively had many associations when he received this secret chat.

To be honest, Wu Xing has always been puzzled about why His Majesty the King is so keen on playing games. Didn't he create this game by himself?

He doesn't contact the kingdom, and he doesn't do business. He just does tasks all day long, like an Internet addict who loves games, so that the Special Investigation Bureau is confused about His Majesty's real intentions, and there is even a Others wondered if they really had the wrong person.

Wu Xing asked cautiously: [What dungeon to use?Who are you looking for? 】

Xinghan Canlan: [I'll go check out the guide and find some suitable dungeons. 】

As he said that, He Xingwen clicked on the webpage and searched for "Dungeon Raiders". The first thing that popped up was the most popular event at the moment - the sixth invasion of the New World.

It's the sixth time, it's frequent enough.

He Xingwen clicked on the guide, and scanned through ten lines at a glance.

[The invasion event of the New World is a large-scale dungeon that is triggered periodically in this game. It can also be referred to as a siege battle. The enemy race and number are randomly refreshed. During this period, there will be enemy npcs that were repelled in the last siege battle.

Judging from the experience of the previous five dungeons, the dungeon will probably last for several months, and the city that the player needs to guard is a fixed area in the Shattered Void.

The rewards for successfully defending the city are extremely generous, and failing to defend the city will open a new continent full-scale attack dlc, so I suggest that all friends better not go against the father of the planner, and keep in mind the position of living and dying with the kingdom, otherwise—"Ye Yeye "Watching you.

After finishing the summary of the previous situation, let me explain in detail the action mode with the highest contribution in this dungeon...]

He Xingwen looked at the end, glanced at the name of the guide writer: Bai Xiaosheng, and thoughtfully excluded this dungeon from the selection range.

This large-scale dungeon does not meet He Xingwen's needs. It needs to join the group to follow the command and rely on the strength of the people.

No matter how awesome a master is, he can't show his brilliance in such a large dungeon—except for the command, of course, which is the time for the command show to operate.

Since the popularity of holographic games, the level of folk hidden dragons and crouching tigers has become higher and higher. In the past two years, there have been many miraculous commanders. It is hard not to doubt that they are all people with special abilities in the brain domain.

He Xingwen's purpose is very clear, he is here to play games.

Of course, being a part of the crowd is also part of the content of the game, but isn't it that He Xingwen has just lit up all the skills that can be learned and is expanding?

So after He Xingwen ruled out this popular dungeon, he found a few more dungeons that came out after he disappeared—just like the first dungeon, these dungeons were all contributed by new civilizations.

He Xingwen can guess the idea of ​​recycling the waste of the game's main console by using his brain casually.

It can be seen that becoming a dungeon may not be a good thing for the npc in the dungeon, and it may be torture at the level of eighteen hells.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be even a dungeon triggered on the mainland - except for the "artificial dungeon" in the Canyon of the Undead. After all, the plot of the dungeon in the Canyon of the Undead was written by He Xingwen.

But He Xingwen did not expect that two years later, the Canyon of the Undead became a popular attraction because of dungeons, and many of the "Dungeon Raiders" that He Xingwen searched casually were related to the Canyon of the Dead.

He Xingwen became interested, and searched for related reviews, and found that they were all praising the planning conscience for not being eaten by dogs, and at least they left some benefits for them.

The dungeon of Undead Canyon is low in difficulty, rich in rewards, and can also draw cards. If it weren't for drawing cards, there is no way to krypton gold, and you can only use favorability. Players can't wait to draw it for a hundred bursts at a time.

Draw a card?

He Xingwen clicked in and took a closer look, and found that the Undead King followed the trend closely. Not long after the Canyon of the Undead was opened to players, he combined the Favorability of the Undead with card drawing, and players who cleared the dungeon with excellent performance could get a chance to draw cards.

Maybe the Kakuri drawn by the player is not a pile of collectibles that can destroy the world casually?

After searching for the card draw rewards, He Xingwen found that most of them were insignificant ordinary items—of course, the ordinary items here are compared with those artifacts in the Undead Emperor's collection. For players, even the ordinary items in the collection , can also be counted as sr.

What's more, a certain player once drew an ssr, a special item that was evaluated as a safe level, which directly detonated the entire holographic game and drove the players to draw cards frenzy.

By the way, that player is called Ou Huanghuang.

He Xingwen searched for the introduction of the Canyon of the Undead, and with a thought, he turned on the microphone and sent Wu Xing a private chat: [The dungeon of the canyon of the undead, you group a few players who are familiar with the dungeon, I will take everyone to lie down and win. 】

Wu Xing couldn't figure out what He Xingwen wanted to do, but adhering to the essence of tacit understanding, he still sent a message to his acquaintances.

Everyone responded quickly.

Ye Quan: [A copy of the Canyon of the Dead?This dungeon is not difficult, how many times have we done it... wait a minute?You said Brother He led the team?Then I will definitely go!Report the address. 】

Wang Lun: 【Have you brought Ou Huang with you?If he goes, I will also drop by to draw a card. 】

Ou Huanghuang: [Brother He will take us to lie down and win?Then I have to go to see Brother He's figure up close. Go, definitely go. 】

Li: [The pre-story of the New World Invasion Dungeon has started, are you not going to participate? 】

Luye: [Can't go away, make an appointment next time. 】

Dudu: [I'm going to do the pre-story of the dungeon in the New World, and I can't make it back. 】

Wang Xuan didn't play the game at all, he took the superconducting troops to do special missions.

Wu Xing replied to He Xingwen only after making an appointment, and made an appointment with him to meet him, and reunited at the teleportation point in the Canyon of the Undead.

After a cutscene flashed on the computer screen, an unfamiliar scene emerged.

On the flat ground, several houses rose from the ground, and the gunpowder smoke billowed in the distance. The bustling food street opened all the way from the street to the end of the street. The food street was next to the market, and various forms of skeletons rubbed shoulders with players...

It's a scene where business is booming and people live and work in peace and contentment.
