Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang are neighbors, childhood friends, and classmates, but most importantly, they are sworn enemies who have been bickering since they could crawl. They both transmigrated into a...
Chapter 6 Chapter 6 “Reality is too boring, this place is very interesting…
Qin Lang was thinking about how to find an excuse for Xia Xifeng to end this experience-gaining journey when Xia Xifeng came back.
He continued to show his "God's Favor" skills to Pereira as if nothing had happened.
If Qin Lang wasn't too familiar with Xia Xifeng, he wouldn't have noticed Xia Xifeng's nervousness.
Just like when he first made an item, it didn't take Xia Xifeng much effort to make a professional suit for Qin Lang. The system 3D printing could do it directly. It just consumed more mana bars and took longer to read.
When Xia Xifeng completed the production of his professional suit, his mission reward also popped up.
The system rewarded Xia Xifeng with a set of farming tools including an iron hammer, hoe, sickle, and watering can, and asked Xia Xifeng to choose a "skill specialization BUFF".
When Xia Xifeng chooses to use a life skill, the mana bar consumed is reduced by 1%.
When Xia Xifeng received the mission reward, something new came to his mind.
Just like Qin Lang instinctively knew how to release skills after changing his job, Xia Xifeng also "learned" how to create items.
When "Specialized Crafting" is selected, Xia Xifeng can craft items entirely by hand. Handcrafted items have no guaranteed minimum quality and may fail. However, if successful, the item will have one more attribute (the item's own skill) than a system-made item.
Xia Xifeng rubbed his head, feeling a little uncomfortable with having knowledge directly instilled into his head.
"What's wrong? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Let's go back and rest first." Leo asked with concern.
Perilla also came back to her senses from her excitement and urged Xia Xifeng to rest quickly.
Xia Xifeng felt uncomfortable when he saw Perilla's genuine concern.
Xia Xifeng: [Perilla might be related to the evil god Yingsen? Will he become insane in the future? That would be too tragic.]
Qin Lang: [Perilla could be the evil god himself. He's still a long way from becoming a demigod, so we don't need to worry too much.]
Qin Lang loved boss-killing. After reaching max level, players could access legendary quests related to deities. Yingsen was a very weak deity, and Qin Lang had killed him many times. Even though he kept skipping plot points, the game planners had already crammed Yingsen's plot synopsis into Qin Lang's head.
There are many gods in "Fantasy of Wonderland", all of which are "conceptual" gods and are divided into two major categories.
The birth of a kind of god has nothing to do with intelligent creatures and is called a "natural god."
Natural spirits vary in strength. The strong, like the gods of light and darkness, who existed at the beginning of the world and are virtually invulnerable to attack, while the weak, like the gods of mountains and rivers, sometimes lack their own divine realms.
Their commonality is that they do not rely on the beliefs of intelligent creatures to survive, and there is no gender distinction.
The birth of the second type of gods is naturally strongly related to intelligent creatures. They have no special titles, and players are accustomed to calling them "intelligent gods" or "legendary material monsters."
If an intelligent being ignites the divine fire, it will become a god of this kind.
There are two kinds of death of gods. One is to kill the "personality", but this concept will also give birth to new gods.
For example, the replacement of the god of magic.
There is also a kind of complete death.
This kind of death mostly only happens to "wise gods".
The power of "intelligent gods" is not necessarily weaker than that of "natural gods", but gods born from the "concepts" born from intelligent creatures will die completely when they lose all faith and are forgotten by everyone.
The "concept" of "natural gods" is relatively difficult to completely disappear unless the rules of the world are overturned.
Yingsen is the weakest of the "wise gods".
Like other races, halflings have "gods" representing their own race, also known as "ancestral spirits", who are worshipped by halflings as ancestors and protectors.
Every race has its good and bad people, and naturally, among the "ancestral spirits" there will be gods who protect evil. Some ethnic groups may even split because of this.
For example, players are accustomed to calling the drow elves "dark elves".
Insen was supposed to be the "ancestral spirit" that protected the evil ones among the Halflings and divided the Halflings.
But strangely, although Insen ascended to godhood, no one among the halflings followed him. Only mad halflings were forced to believe in him. His power was very weak.
Originally, the concept should have appeared first, and then the spirits were born from the concept. Yingsen broke this rule.
Even the laws of becoming a god were broken, and the "Yingsen's ascension to godhood" incident naturally became the beginning of the end of the world.
In "Wonderland Fantasy", "doomsday" does not mean that all intelligent creatures are about to perish, but that the rules collapse and the world falls into disorder.
Yingsen's silhouette appears in the novice copy, and he is a "legendary material monster" that max-level players often go to purchase goods. Players have a deep understanding of him.
As long as there is information that can be dug out of the game, players have already dug it out.
Although the game does not describe Yingsen's experience as a halfling, players already know why Yingsen became a god.
With the support of the Outer Gods, Yingsen became the vanguard in subverting the rules of the dream world.
When Insen ascended to godhood, he was already a demigod qualified to ignite the divine fire, and was at the pinnacle of martial power among non-divine intelligent creatures.
If Pereira is Yingsen, then they still have plenty of time and don't need to be nervous now.
After hearing Qin Lang's comfort, Xia Xifeng's pounding heart finally calmed down a lot.
He joked: [It's rare that you know so much about the plot.]
Qin Lang replied: [Yingsen's materials are in great demand.]
Xia Xifeng was speechless.
After hearing what Qin Lang said, his awe of the Mad God Yingsen almost disappeared.
However, players can solo the Crazy God Yingsen after reaching level 200, which has nothing to do with Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang who are only at level 10 or so.
In the novice dungeon, there is only a silhouette of Yingsen, and the player can only witness this silhouette and has no right to fight Yingsen. The old players with the highest level spend their time killing gods and farming materials, while the novice players may not even be able to defeat a skeleton.
They are now just weak newbies who can't beat the skeletons.
After calming down, Xia Xifeng excitedly said, "Qin Lang, Qin Lang, if we can reach the maximum level before the end of the world, can we change the history of the game?"
Qin Lang: [It's possible.]
Xia Xifeng was excited all the way.
He waited until he returned to Leo's guest room and washed his face with cold water before he calmed down.
Xia Xifeng said to Qin Lang seriously, "Qin Lang, I've thought about it again. We should avoid major historical events. It's too dangerous."
Qin Lang knew how obsessed Xia Xifeng was with the game plot.
Those obsessed with the plot always have many regrets about it. Just like all time travelers who have traveled through movies, TV shows, novels, anime, or a favorite period of history, Xia Xifeng must have thought many times about changing the plot to make up for his regrets.
Since he has traveled through time, Xia Xifeng is familiar with the plot and has a system cheat. How could he, a goody-goody, give up saving people?
Xia Xifeng said: "We must find the way home safely, and I will definitely bring you home safely!"
Who is leading whom?
Qin Lang instantly understood the reason for Xia Xifeng's abnormal behavior.
Qin Lang asked, "Do you think you caused me to travel through time?"
Xia Xifeng looked away uncomfortably, and finally uttered the words that had been echoing in his chest for a long time: "I'm sorry..."
Qin Lang: "You don't have to apologize, I'm very grateful to you."
Xia Xifeng asked in surprise: "What?"
Qin Lang's cold eyes brought a hint of smile: "Reality is too boring, this place is very interesting."
Xia Xifeng: "What?"
Qin Lang said, "If you don't participate in major historical events, I will. It's very interesting."
Xia Xifeng stared so hard that his eyes almost popped out.
What is Qin Lang talking about?!
He was a little doubtful, wondering if he really knew Qin Lang. Why did he feel that Qin Lang was a little strange...
Um...ah...wait...
It doesn't seem very unfamiliar.
Xia Xifeng wiped his face and asked with concern: "Qin Lang, have you seen a psychiatrist? Is everything really okay?"
Qin Lang said, "I've seen it. It won't affect your life, so it's not a disease. Just find a career or hobby that you can devote yourself to. Didn't I tell you that?"
"You did." Xia Xifeng sat down on the soft big bed. "Damn it, you said it was interesting, how can I stop you?"
Qin Lang sat next to Xia Xifeng and listened quietly to Xia Xifeng's complaints.
Qin Lang's IQ is too high, so he matures too early and has little interest in most things in the world. However, he is mentally normal, his emotional intelligence is also good, and he has no mental illness. He is a very normal person.
Qin Lang chose a major that interests him and will devote himself to scientific research in the field of interest in the future.
But after traveling through time, Qin Lang no longer planned to do any scientific research.
Although he has a high IQ, he prefers excitement to research.
This world is exciting.
Changing the future of this world is more fulfilling than doing scientific research.
Xia Xifeng said with a bitter face: "I must keep an eye on you. I will never let you seek death!"
He rubbed his face, unable to suppress the upward curve of his lips. "Tomorrow we'll continue to exploit Leo and Perilla to help us level up! Aaaaa, letting the evil god cub lead us to level up, exciting! So fun!"
Qin Lang nodded, and the smile in his eyes was so obvious that even someone who was not Xia Xifeng could see that he was in a good mood.
"Qin Lang! Let's follow the storyline around Green Sand City! Let's discuss where to set up our base camp!"
"Tomorrow, then. The halflings are going to hold a welcome party for us. Would you like to go?"
"Go, go, go! Hurry and change your clothes. Wow! Auntie's craftsmanship is really good, it fits perfectly!"
Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang changed into their celebration clothes and walked out of the room.
The halflings had stopped working and were hanging beautiful decorations all over the valley.
Leo was standing on the vines summoned by Pereira, hanging a pumpkin lantern on the windmill.
"Oops, not this way, Pereira, left, left...right!"
"Shut up! You can't tell right from wrong!"
Leo was still noisy and Pereira was still irritable.
Xia Xifeng put his arm around Qin Lang's shoulder and said, "Leo said Pereira's personality is similar to yours, but they're clearly not similar at all."
Qin Lang dragged away Xia Xifeng, who wanted to stir up trouble, and helped Luo Xi set the table.
Xia Xifeng is not like Leo. Leo is much calmer than Xia Xifeng. At least he will not provoke Pereira after knowing that he might be an evil god.
Qin Lang sighed in his heart. The fear Xia Xifeng showed just now seemed fake.
This guy is just a fool and audacious. If he hadn't proactively said he wanted to get involved in this big event, Xia Xifeng would definitely not have been able to help himself.
"Light the fire, light the fire!"
The lights and bonfires were lit together, and the table was piled with all kinds of delicious food.
Halflings in brightly colored costumes danced happily around the bonfire.
Qin Lang, who had changed his job to become a bard, took out his harp and plucked the strings casually.
Leo and Xia Xifeng beat the tambourines loudly.
Rosie took Pereira's hand and asked Pereira to dance in circles with her.
Pereira danced around the campfire with her limbs stiffly cooperating with her beloved little sister.
Some halflings began to sing, and soon the singing grew into a chorus, and the dancing became more enthusiastic.
The zither in Qin Lang's hand also played a tuneful piece of music.
Xia Xifeng played the hand drum and circled around Qin Lang, trying to influence Qin Lang to play the piano.
Qin Lang stretched out his foot and tripped Xia Xifeng, who was not looking at his feet.
Xia Xifeng: "Ouch!"
Leo: “Hahahaha!”
Pereira, who was finally let go by Rosie, hid away to rest and couldn't help laughing.
The singing and laughter in the Sunflower Valley continued all night long until dawn.
