King from scratch

In the collision of two continents, each individual becomes a small existence in a huge number.

After He Xingwen participated in several front-line battlefields, he gave up the idea of ​​joining the battlefield because of frequent deaths and returning to the resurrection point, and instead focused on the research progress of the aborigines.

The good news is that they finally communicated accurately with ShadowClan.

The bad news is that through the conversation, they learned from the Shadow Clan how bad the other party's current situation is.

For the Shadow Clan stuck in the demiplane, most of their compatriots were completely assimilated by the demiplane during their madness, while the remaining part became an indefinable monster during their madness.

Without form, unable to touch the real world, only trapped in the demiplane, witnessing himself assimilated into a part of the demiplane.

They are not rational, but the part of humanity that has not been completely assimilated by the demiplane is still struggling in despair.

Of course, the aborigines of the different world do not have overflowing sympathy.

The focus of their attention is that if they don't hurry up, then this part of the Shadow Clan who can communicate will also be assimilated into an incommunicable existence by the demiplane.

This declares that they must hurry up.

Therefore, when He Xingwen went to the sub-bureau of the Palace of Knowledge that had not yet been completed, the group of scientific researchers were all busy day and night.

Because the branch of the Temple of Knowledge has not yet been completed, dwarves, mages, undead, and demons are crowded together to advance different research projects simultaneously in a small area.

The slowly rotating semi-finished product is located in the very center of the research area. As the only translation tool that can communicate with the Shadow Clan, it remains in an auxiliary state for a long time.

From time to time, heated arguments rang out, accompanied by multiple incomprehensible terms.

He Xingwen's arrival didn't attract any attention, there were players everywhere—otherwise, who would build the branch of the Palace of Knowledge?

It's not that other races don't understand architecture, but who makes players the most cost-effective cheap labor?A large group can be tricked by just giving a task.

He Xingwen manipulated the game character to circle around the aboriginals who were arguing endlessly, parked the character in a corner, opened a new web page, and played the game while listening to their argument through headphones.

"I think the key point is how to enter the demiplane?"

"No, no, I think the key point is how to influence the demiplanes to get them out of their current predicament."

"No, I think the point is..."

After losing all Happy Beans, He Xingwen switched back to the game, and the argument just now came to an end. The aborigines who failed to convince the other party split into several small groups, and tried to contact the demiplane with their own problem-solving ideas.

Just a short while after He Xingwen switched back to the game, several mages were already affected by the demiplane, and the ether rioted, and they were directly carried away...

"It's really unprofessional," He Xingwen muttered, "If the great scientists were here, it would be absolutely impossible for this situation to happen."

"It's a pity that the great scientists are not here," He Tong's voice sounded: "Although they have gone further than other races, they have not yet broken through the limitations of the world."

"You reminded me," He Xingwen said, "It's time for us to talk to the great scientist."

As soon as he finished speaking, the keyboard dissipated under his hands, and the familiar bedroom returned to the golden light. Only the computer screen still floated in front of He Xingwen, faithfully showing the debates among the aborigines in mainland China over the semi-finished products.

"Have you decided yet?" He Tong: "I thought you wanted to play for a while?"

"Let's talk about it after the difficulty of the game increases," He Xingwen glanced at the high-definition screen: "It's too high, the game lacks playability."

He Xingwen bid farewell to his old friends who had been together for several days: "Run this 'game' well and wait for me to come back."

The main game console impatiently kicked him out of the holographic game cabin.

The holographic game cabin slowly opened. He Xingwen climbed out of the game cabin and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall—it was two hours before get off work.

He walked around the lounge, left a note for Wu Xing, and walked out of the lounge like a walk.

The surveillance, sensors, infrared and other equipment that were supposed to detect He Xingwen's movements in the first place seemed to be malfunctioning, allowing the other party to leave the research institute unimpeded without anyone noticing.

The disappearance of He Xingwen was only discovered by the Special Investigation Bureau when Wu Xing went to remind the other party to get off work on time.

The Special Investigation Bureau quickly operated, blocked the research institute and the roads to and from the research institute, consulted the monitoring and other equipment inside the research institute, and sent people to contact He Jianwen and the others to obtain relevant information.

Half an hour after realizing He Xingwen's disappearance, countless information gathered from various places to the hands of relevant personnel.

"There is no sign of the other party in the monitoring inside the research institute. The monitoring in the lounge retains a video of the other party exiting the holographic game cabin at [-]:[-] and walking around the room. There is no specific image of the other party leaving the lounge. .”

"The other party left a note for Wu Xing, asking for a..." The voice of the report suddenly paused: "Marriage leave."

"Contacted with his parents and confirmed that the other party returned home after leaving the institute, and informed his parents that he would be away for a period of time on the grounds of honeymoon."

"There is no image of each other found in transportation hubs everywhere."

"It can be confirmed that he disappeared from our sight once again."

"We couldn't find him before because we didn't know the real identity of His Majesty the King, but when the identity of the other party was clarified, the other party disappeared from our field of vision. Considering the rigor of the current identity information, the other party forged a false identity again. It's very difficult."

"Among all the messages left by the other party, there is no meaning of never returning."

"We have reached a tacit understanding with the other party, and it makes no sense for the other party to change their identity after taking the initiative to expose it."

"It's more like he has something to deal with and has to disappear from our sight... Or, we should consider another point, is he still on Earth?"

"He went to another world? Which other world?"

"At least it's not the different world we are familiar with. So far, His Majesty the King has not returned to his kingdom."

When a small group of people on the earth are busy because of He Xingwen's disappearance, another world is also busy because of He Xingwen's appearance.

"We thought you would never appear again," the great scientist expressed his eager attitude towards His Majesty's appearance: "After all, it has been so long."

[You have to understand that I have to deal with a lot of things to ensure that there will be no accidents that we don't want to see when I'm not around. 】

"Of course, of course, we understand very well. In fact, the fact that you came to the appointment is already better than those redundant explanations. Let me think about it, how should I explain to you, what about our current research progress..."

While the other party was chattering, He Xingwen took a short errand: "I'm a little curious, are the great scientists who are talking to me the same group as the previous batch of great scientists?"

"It's the same group of people. The current form of existence of great scientists is very special. They will still die, but this special form of existence has stretched their lives to a length that is completely different from that of mainland creatures. The life length of creatures in this dimension is the same as There is a huge gap in the continent's biology."

He Xingwen: "This sounds very suitable for scientists. A long life is enough for them to go further in scientific research."

He Tong: "Yes, I think that's why Li Wang chose to let the great scientist convert into this form of existence."

"...Are you listening?" The great scientist who had been rambling for a long time realized He Xingwen's lack of response, and asked with some doubts: "What do you think?"

He Xingwen wasn't listening, but it wasn't a big problem, after all, he couldn't understand even if he listened carefully.

He Xingwen glanced at He Tong's summary and found the reason why the great scientist was so excited about his appearance.

Their research has penetrated into a certain area, and only a "key" to practice is missing.

Their idea for the next experimental steps is to ask He Xingwen to bring the semi-finished "key" they researched back to the mainland, and to confirm through practice whether this "key" can establish a two-way channel for the projection of the mainland and the world.

The two-way channel is not their ultimate goal, it is just a product that will inevitably appear in this research process. What they want to do is to break through the limitations of the world and reach the other end of world cognition.

Compared with the ultimate goal of breaking the world limit, the idea of ​​opening a door in different world projections proposed by the aborigines of the mainland is not arrogant at all.

After all, what the great scientist wants is to tear down the whole house.

[Sounds good, but I have a better way. 】

"What better way?"

[I have a 'key' from another world in my hand, and I suspect that this world has broken through the world limit. 】

The mood swings of the great scientists became intense.

"What do you mean? Another world has come into contact with the continent? Damn it, I just said that our time to transform the form of existence was too hasty, we should wait, the special world form of the continent has too much value to study !"

The big scientists complained one after another, as if they missed hundreds of millions, He Xingwen had to give a more detailed explanation.

[Not the mainland.The mainland is still studying how to find those world projections.It's another...world. 】

"The world of the players?" The great scientists cheered up: "We are indeed very interested in the world where the players were born. If you are willing to provide..."

[No, for now, I have no idea of ​​providing you with the coordinates of this world.

I mean, I have a 'key' to another world.

I'm sure, this world is farther than we go, are you interested in this 'key'? 】

"Of course," the great scientists did not hesitate: "We are interested in everything that can advance the progress of research."

"There is just a small problem. Compared with our connection with the mainland, the world barrier between another unknown world and us is more difficult to break through.

After all, this place and the mainland belong to the same world in essence, but they are located in different dimensions.

Breaking through the barriers between world projections first will help us absorb experience.

Therefore, in our research plan, the mainland is more suitable as the experimental target. "

Speaking of this, the great scientist stopped to discuss for a while, and continued: "According to what you said before that the mainland wants to build a new world, we have the same goal as the creatures on the mainland. We both want to establish a two-way relationship with each other. aisle."

Although the other party said a long list, He Xingwen accurately received the subtext of the other party's refusal. He Xingwen thought for two seconds and changed his strategy.

[What about after establishing a two-way channel with the mainland?What's next for you guys? 】

The great scientist talked eloquently: "Perhaps at that time, we can discuss how to break through the barriers of another world.

We will never be satisfied with the status quo, we will tirelessly explore the distance we have not yet reached, until we die or reach the limit of cognition. "

[It seems that we have reached an agreement, and I am happy to help you. 】

The great scientists discussed together for a long time before giving a response: "Then you may need to stay here for a while, we need to study how to allow you to bring 'a specific piece of etheric information' back to the mainland..."

This is the reason why He Xingwen took a long vacation on Earth, he needs to stay here for a short time.

The disproportionate time between the two worlds makes it difficult for He Xingwen to control the specific degree of time passing.

This is indeed more like He Xingwen and He Tong are on their honeymoon. After all, in this dimension, they are the only two people who have nothing to do and are not disturbed.

The dungeon of the first continental expansion lasted beyond the imagination of most players, even beyond the imagination of the aborigines.

After the initial expansion war was smoothly advanced as everyone expected, the subsequent situation was out of the control of both sides.

The Continent's combined army did not crush the New Continent as quickly as imagined. On the contrary, the New Continent even repelled the Continent's offensive trend for a time.

The advantage of the mainland is that they have a large number of people working together, fully equipped and unified command.

The advantage of the New World is that the strange new civilizations are beyond the mainland's cognition. In the New World, humanoid intelligent creatures are extremely rare, and most of the new civilizations are intelligent creatures with different shapes.

Each of them looks like a boss, with various attack methods and endless big moves.

Moreover, before the outbreak of this war, they had experienced the temper of death, even if they were in a weak position, they would only become more courageous as they fought.

The player quickly became the main force in the dungeon, using his immortal body to maintain the advantage of the combined army.

War is the best way to improve combat effectiveness. At least the player has jumped from the bottom of the food chain to the bottom of the food chain through this large-scale and protracted dungeon—finally, it is not just an npc that can defeat them.

This war, which lasted for nearly a hundred years, finally came to peace talks due to the emergence of an unexpected factor.

A certain mage received an invitation to study in the Sarfa Federation.

Of course, under the premise that the Salfa Federation has become a ruin, it is self-evident that this invitation to study actually comes from another world projection.

In nearly a hundred years, the scientific system on the mainland has formed a new system after passing through the old framework of the Salfa Federation, and this mage is a researcher who is at the forefront of this scientific system.

The invitation from the Salfa Federation presented the mainland with the opportunity to open that door.

The peace talks between the mainland and the New World are based on this broader interest.

After fighting on the battlefield for a hundred years, no matter it is the mainland or the new continent, they understand each other far better than they did a hundred years ago.

The reason why the New World invaded the mainland was because the mainland was a fertile land with amazing wealth and population.

But right now, before them is a continent that cannot be defeated in a short period of time and a more fertile new world.

The choice of New World has naturally changed.

It doesn't matter if they can't invade the mainland, they can invade the new world together.

The mainland's decision to negotiate peace with the New World was a decision made after multiple considerations.

As mentioned before, the New World is really not fertile, and the opponent's combat power is ridiculously strong. The cost-effectiveness of expanding the New World through war is too low.

After a glimmer of hope appeared in the goal of establishing a new world, the mainland retreated to the next best thing and chose to expand the new continent in a more peaceful way.

War may be the offensive method that the New World is good at, but order is the way that the New World is better at.

This is another invisible battlefield.

Of course, the subsequent negotiations, frictions, and peaceful evolution between the New World and the Mainland will take place much later. What is before them is the 'key' handed over by another world projection, which is the prelude to the new world.

Ordinary workday.

Wu Xing took a break from his busy schedule and poured himself a cup of coffee in the lounge. Just as soon as he lowered his head and raised his head, there was suddenly another person in the room.

Wu Xing's hand holding the coffee remained motionless, as if he didn't notice that there was an extra person in the room.

But his other hand quickly touched his waist, and the moment he held the weapon, a familiar face came into his sight.

Wu Xing paused, lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, covering up all his complicated thoughts, and said in a casual way: "Have you finished your honeymoon? A ten-year honeymoon...is really long."

He Xingwen lowered his head and brushed off his collar, not taking it seriously: "Be content, it only took ten years to be thankful."

He Xingwen looked at the familiar lounge. The furnishings and decorations have hardly changed, and everything remains the same as he left - including the holographic game cabin.

After looking around the room, he walked towards the door. Wu Xing quickly put down his coffee and followed his footsteps.

"Is there any big news in these years?" He Xingwen walked into the corridor and asked casually.

Wu Xing paused for two seconds: "Are you talking about the earth or the holographic game?"

He didn't wait for He Xingwen to answer, and continued: "In the competition with mutant creatures, human beings have the upper hand. The sea and sky routes have been opened up again, and the Institute of Superconductivity has covered the entire Huaguo. In order to maintain social order, the country launched Strict identity system, establishment of superconducting bureaus in each province and city, maintaining order at the grassroots level."

He paused: "From the current point of view, we have truly entered the era of superpowers."

He Xingwen, who was walking ahead, stopped and tilted his head to look at him.

"What do you think?" Wu Xing shrugged, "Or do we have to meet more challenges before we have entered the era of real superpowers?"

"No, you have already entered this brand new world." He Xingwen retracted his gaze and said as he walked, "It's just that the future will never lack challenges. How is the research on the unknown device in that other world going?"

"Mages got a lot of inspiration from it, but they finally decided to share it with great scientists. They judged that only great scientists can truly analyze this unknown device." Wu Xing paused, reflecting his subtext: " Will the different world not leave us a chance to slack off?"

"Don't be stupid, you will only have more problems to solve than this," He Xingwen walked slowly past the members of the Special Investigation Bureau who were dumbfounded by seeing him, and continued: "Talk about holographic games. What happened here?"

"The war between the two continents has never stopped..." Wu Xingsi thought: "Besides, the scale of the school has expanded, and many new civilized occupations have appeared. The scientific system has been extended to the entire continent, and the number of scientists There are a lot more, and the semi-finished dwarves' mechanical body finally has a clue. They sent the Shadow Clan to another world for projection, but there are still many problems to be solved to allow other races to reach that dimension..."

"Because of the news from the great scientist, the war has stopped, and now we are busy with the Continental Congress, gearing up to carve up the new world."

He Xingwen walked out of the research institute, and his eyes swept across the new energy-driven suspension vehicle.

"toot"

He Tong honked his horn, put his hand on the car window, and signaled to them.

Where did this car come from?Wu Xing glanced at the unfamiliar vehicle, decided not to worry about such a small problem, and got into the car with He Xingwen.

Wu Xing asked tentatively: "So, your honeymoon trip is over?"

"We plan to travel around the world next," He Xingwen sat in the co-pilot, looking at the self-driving hover car with some novelty: "The changes in this world are really amazing."

Wu Xing stared at He Xingwen's profile and said, "Compared to you, the world has indeed changed a lot... You look no different from ten years ago."

He Xingwen turned his head and winked at him: "Retiring early is the best way to maintain youth... To be honest, your hair is falling out too fast."

Wu Xing stroked the sparse hair on his head, as if seeing his lost youth.

"His Majesty the King has never appeared," Wu Xing only took a few seconds to be sentimental about his youth, and he quickly returned to work: "He won't appear again, will he?"

"I've said it a long time ago. In the kingdom's system, the most redundant thing is the king..." He Xingwen said while fiddling with a bunch of buttons in the car. He didn't know which button was pressed, and the car that was hovering smoothly suddenly turned upwards sharply. Pull up, into the air, and gallop forward.

He Xingwen stopped quickly, the autopilot regained control of the vehicle, slowed down, and fell back to the ground.

He withdrew his touching hands, and said with some sympathy: "Is this driving point deducted?"

Wu Xing gloated: "That's for sure, without an application to go straight into the sky, plus speeding..."

Wu Xing's gloating voice gradually stopped, realizing something was wrong: "Don't tell me, you are using my driver's license?"

"We don't have a driver's license," He Xingwen said bluntly, "If you don't deduct your driving points, whose driving points will be deducted?"

Wu Xing opened his mouth to speak, but he had nothing to say, and changed the topic angrily: "You just said that you plan to travel around the world?" He gave an uncertain look: "Travel around the world in the true sense? Or is it like going on a honeymoon?" A conceptual round-the-world trip?"

"The latter," He Xingwen said, "if we run around on the earth, I'm afraid it will add a lot of unnecessary work for you."

"You guys are running around outside the earth, and we didn't get anywhere easily," Wu Xing complained: "I thought you said you would retire early because you didn't plan to care about it at all, but now it seems that you still have A lot to deal with?"

"Traveling, you can't just stop casually." He Xingwen stretched his waist, without elaborating, as the vehicle started to slow down, he changed the subject: "How are my parents?"

Wu Xing: "Except for not giving us a good face every day, nagging our son for being squeezed by us all the year round, and even being unable to come back for the New Year, everything is fine."

Speaking of this, Wu Xing paused, and looked suspiciously at He Xingwen: "How did you do it? During the ten years that you disappeared, you called them regularly, and even made video calls? I thought there was no place where you spent your honeymoon. Where's the signal?"

He Xingwen got out of the car: "There is indeed no signal, so this is a secret."

He Tong followed beside him, cast his eyes towards the closed door ahead, and turned his head to ask He Xingwen's opinion: "Shall I knock on the door?"

Wu Xing passed the two people who were close to the hometown, skillfully took out the key and opened the door, and turned to look at the two people who stopped at the door with some doubts: "Why are you standing there? Come in and sit."

After finishing speaking, he shouted into the house: "Uncle and aunt, who do you think is back?"

"Who? You didn't go to work early in the morning. Who did you bring?" He Jianwen, who turned from the living room, paused: "Son?"

He Xingwen rarely hesitated: "Dad... I'm back."

After an initial moment of stupefaction, a growling roar resounded through the house.

"You still have the face to come back?" He Jianwen picked up the broom beside him, and the tiger went straight down the mountain to He Xingwen.

"Father... He Tong, stop me for a while."

He Xingwen slid backhand and retreated behind He Tong, relying on his father not to attack He Tong and using him as a meat shield, he hid in Tibet.

He Tong was forced to be caught between the two of them, and from time to time he had to reach out to stop He Jianwen, who was bursting with anger.

In an instant, the scene was flying like dogs and dogs.

Wu Xingchao took two steps back, raised his head to look up at the sun, and listened to the noise in the room, showing a standard schadenfreude smile.

What a beautiful day.
