Chapter 561: Phase 2
In the circular laboratory, the conversation between Lao Jiang and Earl was not heard by others. Earl had a special instrument in his hand that rolled up the surrounding airflow so that no sound could leak out.
He looked at Lao Jiang angrily.
Because what Boss Jiang said just now angered him.
Jiang Xia didn't care. The previous series of tests had already revealed a hint of the truth, which was enough for him to outline the true situation of the world of Eden in his mind.
Although there are still many details that are not understood.
But Earl's anger in front of him proved that Lao Jiang's guess was correct.
“Hmm…
Don't look at me like that, Earl , I really don't know the truth about your world.
But my soul is very strong now.
It is even comparable to the perception of the primordial spirit. If you don't step up your efforts to conceal my presence, I will soon discover the things you are hiding from me."
"Maybe I should expel you now!"
Old Earl gritted his teeth and said:
"We will expel you and the changes you bring from our world. There should be no class, no pain, and no doubt here!"
"Things you said shouldn't exist are precisely the foundation for building a civilization. Without classes with real meaning, the Eden people will still construct identities that are very different in their second life.
I am a monk and I know very well how spirit affects matter.
Before the spirit of a race is liberated, material abundance alone cannot build a paradise! When we first met, I said that you were spiritually castrating the Eden people.
I still hold this view now. Long-term suppression of thinking will not produce any good results. This is probably the reason why the Navigation Center will fully support my action.
Even a sleeping soul needs real stimulation from the outside world to stay awake."
Lao Jiang reached out his hand and patted Earl on the shoulder. He pointed to the sky and said:
“As for expelling me, I don’t think you can do it.
This is the decision made by the Navigation Center. It feels that my presence is beneficial to you.
Can you defy it?
No, you can't disobey.
Just as you once told me, the original mission of the Navigation Center was to find new civilizations and maintain their survival and growth.
After cold and rigorous calculations, it proactively provided me with unlimited computing power support for the advent of all realms.
I am so stupid.
I should have realized at that time that there were gods in the world of Eden, and they were always by my side... and they were always supporting me."
As he spoke, Lao Jiang stretched out his hand and flicked the air around him.
explain:
"Center, please allocate more computing power to the All Realms Advent project team. I need to start the second phase of the game project."
"The application is approved, please wait."
Even though Lao Jiang was not connected to any data device, the response tone from the navigation center rang in his ears.
Boss Jiang laughed and winked at Old Earl.
explain:
"Guess, if I ask it to destroy this perfect world now, will it listen to me?"
"don't want!"
Earl shouted in horror, and in a pleading tone, he said to Lao Jiang:
"No... it's not time yet. The 'Revelation' program is not ready yet. This is just the beginning!"
"I know."
Boss Jiang snorted and said:
"So I will wait for you to reveal the truth to me. I don't want to destroy our perfect cooperation. I also know that even if the Navigation Center stands on my side, you have the ability to counter me.
But I am not your enemy. Red Moon's death shows that our cooperation is beneficial to both sides. I will continue to maintain this relationship until you are ready.
However, when I first came here, you told me that my husband left something here.
Give it to me! "
"You'll have to get it yourself."
Earl calmed himself down, looked at Lao Jiang, shook his head and said:
"This is the rule left by your great master. You have to take it on your own. Do you understand what I mean?"
"On your own?"
Lao Jiang frowned, then nodded.
He said to Earl:
"Well, now, let's start the second phase."
——
"It's finally officially released. I've been waiting for so long."
After his morning run, veteran gamer Lao Qu returned home and ate a nutritious breakfast prepared by his smartphone while entering his game room.
In front of me, on the glass that constantly changes density according to the angle of sunlight, so that the house always maintains a pleasant sense of light, the huge countdown has returned to zero.
This made Lao Qu feel a surge of anticipation.
Recently, he has been waiting for the official release of Advent of Realms. After participating in the last public beta, he now feels that playing other games is not enough.
He couldn't describe what the feeling was exactly .
But no matter how exciting or beautiful the game was, it could not bring him the vague sense of satisfaction that he felt when he was in the vision of the advent of all realms. It was as if his soul would feel at peace when he was in that dangerous game world.
"Captain, I'm here."
After breakfast, Lao Qu changed into suitable clothes and lay down in his sci-fi-looking game cabin. As the cabin door closed, Lao Qu closed his eyes.
The mind enters the second life through the consciousness converter, and easily finds the game door leading to the advent of all realms.
The next moment, there was darkness before my eyes, and in that minimal darkness, I opened my eyes in the Red Moon Realm with a real sense of falling.
"You've finally woken up, witch hunter."
He stretched his body and stood up. What came into view was a church-like building. In front of him was a priest dressed like a doctor, who spoke to him in a gentle tone:
“You were seriously injured on the battlefield three months ago. Many people said that you would never wake up, but the Baroness insisted that you war heroes would not be so fragile.
She is right.
Just today, you all woke up, like a miracle.
The vitality of the Eden people is as strong as that of monsters."
"I haven't yet atoned for my sins."
Old Qu was adapting to the long sleep and his body was a little numb. With the help of the priest, he stood up from his bed with difficulty and looked out the window again.
Then he exclaimed:
"Is this the Fog City? What's going on with that city? What's going on with that giant tree? And that mountain flying in the sky! Is that a floating city?"
"No, hero, they are our companions from a foreign land, a group of magicians who have mastered magical powers. They call themselves monks. They used magic to transfer the misty mountain to this world.
They protect the new World Tree and will share this world with us."
The priest recited a verse in praise of the World Tree, then helped Lao Qu down the stairs, walked out of the monastery and came into the sunshine.
The sunlight is a little dazzling, no longer as gloomy as before.
"We are building a city for the Red Moon people on the ruins of the Fog City. The magicians are helping us with magic, and you, the Eden people, have also brought us steel technology.
Help us build the city.
You are also good friends of the Red Moon people."
The priest said in a gentle tone:
“It is said that you filmed a large ship that can soar in the sea of stars, and traveled thousands of miles to our world to help us rebuild civilization in this world after the end of the disaster era.
We have also sent many Eden friends who are as friendly and energetic as you."
While listening to the priest explaining the "background of the story", Lao Qu looked at the city being built in the distance. He indeed discovered that there were technological creations of the Eden people helping the Red Moon people build the city walls.
But the last time I came here, these were not here.
Then, in the more simplified and upgraded personal game system, I entered the world chat channel, which was already in an uproar.
"Why are we new players born in North America? But those public beta players can directly start the main quest in the Fog City? This is not fair!"
"Bah! Damn privileged class! I want to complain about this game."
"Asshole, do you call this a privilege? Have you watched the documentary about the Red Moon War? We fought back the monsters with fierce battles, and this is our game reward!
We deserve this.”
“Besides, sending new players directly to the Fog City is sending you to commit suicide. There are skeleton-level monsters in the strait, and it’s difficult to break through their defenses with your blank equipment.
It is better to go through the process in the Novice Village honestly.
There seems to be a Red Moon Salvation Army novice guide there as well. A reminder, newbies, don't treat the NPCs in this game as fools, they are smarter than you.
If you go too far, they will take revenge on you ."
"Shit! They built monuments for the public beta players in the Newbie Village here in North America, and there are also sculptures to commemorate their great achievements, with everyone's name on them.
The people here also told me their stories and composed beautiful songs to praise them.
So envious!
Ah, why didn’t I participate in the public beta at that time? "
"Major Nia is so cute. I'm in love with her, but she only loves her mysterious boss. She can't stop talking about that guy. It's really jealous."
"Stop arguing. I've accepted a mission to clear out the monsters near the Novice Village. It's quite difficult. Who's coming with me? Just give me the coordinates."
Seeing these discussions, Lao Qu chuckled.
He switched back to the private game group and found that the old players who had entered the game before him were no longer in the Red Moon Realm. They had gone to the new map.
“The main storyline of the MAGA world is still being explored, but based on the existing game information, it should be related to the Heart of the World just like the Red Moon World.
In addition, players who have reached the rank of Private First Class can apply for a superhero job transfer mission on the seventh floor of the Dream Company headquarters.
They will release a single player quest chain.
Everyone's mission is different, but basically it's about stopping crime in New York City, or assisting street heroes in maintaining order.
Different levels of basic hero potions will be distributed to players according to the degree of task completion. The types of potions collected so far are as follows: blah blah blah. "
The chat content here is much more professional.
Veteran players have already begun collecting intelligence about the new world, which makes Lao Qu itchy. He pulls out the note with the address from his pocket and slaps his face.
Although he still wanted to explore the side quests in the Red Moon Realm, get some rewards, improve his reputation, and raise his military rank, his restless heart was already somewhat out of control.
Then he turned to the priest next to him and said:
"I'm going to take back my witch-hunting power, and then go to the MAGA world to continue my journey and continue to pursue my redemption. Where should I go?"
"Then you have to go to Vengeance Harbor, Warrior."
The priest smiled, praised Lao Qu's courage, pointed in a direction, and said:
“Just keep going along this road, and at the end there is a magic circle leading to Vengeance Harbor.
However, the Baroness also gave us orders. If you war heroes want to do something in the Red Moon World, you are welcome to come back at any time.
There are still many monsters for you to fight in the Old Continent. In the past three months, some monsters suspected to be "super king-level" have appeared, which is really a headache.
In addition, you are now a formal witch hunter, and every subsequent promotion will require you to return to the Red Moon World. You also have to hunt for the high-level ashes required for promotion.
This is the tradition of witch hunters.”
"Thanks for the reminder."
Lao Qu smiled, rented a horse from the monastery's stable, and headed towards the magic circle leading to Revenge Harbor. On the way, he also read the system update content in detail.
As a result, a strange letter was found in the mailbox.
Famous is "The Boss".
Old Qu opened the letter doubtfully, and inside was an invitation.
The content is that the mysterious boss admired Lao Qu's fighting style in the Red Moon War, and he now has a very personal matter and needs a powerful guy to do it.
If Lao Qu could do him a favor, he would gain his personal friendship and some generous material rewards.
When Lao Qu received the invitation letter, the system reminded him that he had obtained the qualification for the internal test of the new version of DLC, and specified a location where someone would receive him.
The instinct of a veteran player told him that this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Lao Qu hesitated.
He touched the note in his arms again. The leader was so strong. If he went there as a rookie now, there was a high chance that he would not be able to see her. But if he could be stronger...
“Done!”
Without much hesitation, Lao Qu pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and headed towards the direction of the Fog City which was under construction.
The sweet experience he had before told him that there would definitely be benefits to taking part in internal testing.
