Chapter 230 Meat Grinder (End)

After recovering the Tree of Life in the Central City, the two continued to go to other areas to look for the seeds of the remaining six Trees of Life.

The research institutes where these trees of life are located are relatively far apart from each other. Because each tree of life requires a lot of energy, if they are put together, not only will the conversion speed be very slow, but after all, their predecessors are all kinds of weapons with great destructive power. Those who originally proposed to convert weapons into trees of life are also very worried. If they are all placed in the same place, will the trees of life have unpredictable serious consequences?

And if something unexpected happens anywhere, all hopes will be destroyed.

It's been a long journey.

Jie Fangcheng didn't feel bored along the way, mainly because there were movies to watch. Although the only food he ate were nutritional supplements of various flavors, Jie Fangcheng didn't care much about it.

These days are rare, because they are the only leisurely time that Jie Fangcheng has truly enjoyed since he announced that he would retire.

The robot following you also has all the advantages that humans can imagine. It will also introduce the world from time to time, and is as humorous as a host.

Although the scenery is different and the historical and cultural differences between the two small worlds are huge, their core is the same.

The two also discussed this issue.

Whether it is a small world that focuses on technological development, or a small world that pays more attention to spiritual power and magic, the operating rules are the same.

So what exactly do the presidents of the six major guilds want?

"Permissions." The robot repeated the word again, "Perhaps what they want is not just permissions within the game "Three Thousand Worlds", but permissions to the real 'Three Thousand Worlds'."

"Is it just like the way of heaven?" asked Jie Fangcheng.

In Jie Fangcheng's cognition, the Way of Heaven represents the embodiment of authority.

Is this the authority that can replace the Way of Heaven and formulate the rules of the small world that the presidents of the six major labor unions are seeking?

When Jie Fangcheng thought about facing such brain-burning questions again after he got out of this small world, he could only sigh again: "It would be great if you could get out too."

This was the nth time he had said this, but this time, the robot's response was more direct.

"I also hope that I can always be by your side."

After spending so much time together, Xie Fangcheng's understanding of robots has also made a qualitative leap. Hearing him say this, Xie Fangcheng was silent for a moment.

"Why don't you download your love message template?"

It is true that robots do not understand human emotions, but this does not mean that they cannot say emotional words like humans.

This is all thanks to the robot's powerful computing core, which allows it to download various templates.

Just like when Jie Fangcheng felt bored before, the other party even downloaded a movie review template to discuss various Easter eggs in a certain movie with him.

It's really convenient... and weird.

Even though I know that the other party is a robot, he is more thoughtful than ordinary humans. This feeling is indescribable, strange and harmonious.

The robot just shook its head: "I didn't download the love message template."

It took Jie Fangcheng a while to react, and he scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

The entire continent is so vast that in order to find the seeds of the remaining six trees of life, the two people's journey covers almost the entire continent.

The two picked up various resources, rare weapons, and even some sealed samples of non-mutated animals and plants as they walked. The robot with its own energy converter did not need to return to Green Island for supplies.

Instead, it was another passenger in the car who came to his senses while the two were searching for the second seed of the Tree of Life.

The fallen elf has completely lost her memory of being a player. In her memory, she is a survivor who was rescued by a robot and survived in a research institute.

"Thank you, I will definitely make good use of my abilities to protect Cangcui Island!" Xiao Qi said seriously.

The elf that Jie Fangcheng once disliked has now become one of the most powerful guardians under Yan Xun.

Manager Xie, who was used to the cycle of life and death, didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Although some people always say that everyone is a blank slate, this is not actually the case.

As one of the civil servants of the underworld who extradites souls, Jie Fangcheng knows very well that everyone's soul is actually different.

Before reincarnation, the underworld will first remove the evil part of each person's soul. When the malicious part is removed, the soul at this time can perhaps be called a blank sheet of paper, and everyone is equally pure and flawless.

But on the way from the underworld to the human world, before the souls are reincarnated as humans, some of the surrounding soul fragments have already entered these pure and flawless souls.

Some people are lucky, and their souls have less impurities. When they are born, they are kind and upright people at the beginning.

But some people are unlucky, and mixed bad soul fragments enter the originally pure and flawless soul, and then the so-called "born bad seed" appears.

This is also what people often call fate.

Generally speaking, the purer and more flawless the soul is, the less it is affected by the outside world and the more likely it is to achieve success.

People with more impurities in their souls are likely to have bad luck since birth, and may even be naturally more prone to doing evil than ordinary people.

This is also why fate was difficult to change in ancient times, and the predictions in the Book of Life and Death were generally accurate.

Because people at that time were generally less educated, technology was not as developed as it is later, most people lived in a remote corner, and the world they could see was only a tiny corner, and they could only understand the part of the truth that they could see.

In ancient times when books were precious, it was extremely difficult to change one's destiny.

But now, with the development of science and technology and the progress of the times, those truths that many people would never have thought of and knowledge that they could not understand in their lifetime have become common sense now.

It is difficult for a person's destiny to be determined by "God's will".

Isn’t there a living example right next to Jie Fangcheng—Zhang Daoan?

This is a person who is made up entirely of the soul of an evil spirit. According to fate, he should have been doing evil since childhood. If he was lucky enough to grow up, he would become a great evil person who brought disaster to others.

But not only did he eventually grow into such a good university professor, he even became one of the guardians of the small world that was about to collapse. He was also willing to sacrifice himself to build the last barrier to protect this small world.

Although this fallen elf had a grudge against Jie Fangcheng, her memory and identity had been completely changed at this time, which was no different from being reborn.

Especially since Zhang Daoan was also here, Xie Fangcheng certainly didn't say anything more.

The robot reconstructed a new identity for the fallen elves. Now Xiaoqi is no longer a player in the game. She has become a survivor who was left behind in the ruins of a research institute somewhere in this small world.

Although this kind of survivor is unheard of, the strength of Xiaoqi, this fallen elf, is quite convincing.

After finding the second seed of the Tree of Life, Yan Xun released the elf back to the Green Island.

Jie Fangcheng asked: "Aren't you afraid that she will do evil things on Cang Cui Island?"

The robot just smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, Verdant Island is not without barriers."

Don't forget that although the robot in front of you has come out with Fang Cheng, there is still a robot team in Cang Cui Island that is completely controlled by him. Even if Xiao Qi is strong, it is completely impossible for him to do anything in Cang Cui Island.

Professor Zhang’s strength has really become stronger.

Jie Fangcheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

When he collected the last seed of the Tree of Life, it was already the fortieth day since Jie Fangcheng came to this small world.

When the two returned to the Green Island with seven complete seeds of the Tree of Life, everything on the Green Island was still the same as before.

It’s just that the environment has become worse and solar eclipses have occurred more frequently.

After a solar eclipse, Jie Fangcheng watched with his own eyes as robots planted seven seeds of the Tree of Life around the Green Island. This was also what Jie Fangcheng requested.

"Let's plant it and see. If it doesn't work, we can think of a solution together." After saying this, Jie Fangcheng was silent for a moment, then changed the topic and said, "If it doesn't work, you think of a solution and I'll help you."

When he said this, the robot seemed to be unable to hold back its laughter.

The seeds of the Tree of Life are not ordinary plant seeds. They need time to take root and sprout.

The moment they were planted, seven towering trees were connected together, and their green canopies covered the entire Verdant Island like another elf forest.

And on the Green Island, for the first time in history, the wind around stopped.

Yan Xun said: "Planting the seeds of the Tree of Life is only the first step. Now that we have sufficient resources, we can use Cangcui Island as a base point and expand outward little by little to expand this forest to the entire continent."

This will take a very long time. It may take tens of thousands of years, or the tree of life in front of them may not be able to stop the cleaning of the meat grinder. In fact, all they have done is in vain, and the collapse of the small world cannot be reversed.

But waiting to die is definitely not the final fate of mankind.

Jie Fangcheng's mission has been completed.

The replica of Angel's Eyes is very simple. With sufficient resources, it would only take a few minutes for Yan Xun.

However, it was very simple to replicate the Angel's Eye, but it took him a lot of time to make another one.

"What is this?" Jie Fangcheng was holding a ball of light that looked somewhat similar to the seed of the Tree of Life.

Yan Xun answered him: "A gift."

Jie Fangcheng placed his hand on the ball of light, and soon a virtual screen appeared in front of him.

Xie Fangcheng looked at the screen and was surprised: "Intelligent robot?"

Yan Xun nodded: "It's very similar to the production method of Angel's Eyes. I wonder if you can take it out."

Because they don't know how the Three Thousand Worlds judge this kind of prop, the robot tried its best to make it as close to the production process of Angel's Eyes as possible, thus reducing many functions and even failing to maintain the human form.

"Its thinking and calculation ability is weaker, but if you really encounter a problem that you can't solve, maybe it can provide you with another idea."

Xie Fangcheng was stunned.

What do you mean by providing another idea? This is clearly a plug-in for the future manager!

As Jie Fangcheng obtained the Angel's Eye, other players in the entire hunting ground also received system notifications.

For this kind of collective mission in the hunting ground, once one player completes it, the rest of the players can leave the hunting ground together even though the mission will be shown as failed.

The game system is also very "considerate" and gives players an hour to make final "preparations"... That is to say, in this last hour, if other players snatch the Angel's Eye from Fang Cheng, the person who completes the task will have to be replaced.

Just think about it and you will know how bad the meaning behind this is. This one hour is obviously not the time given to players to rest as the system said. Is this encouraging players to compete with each other and kill each other?

"It is also possible that this one hour is actually given to the guardians in the hunting ground." Yan Xun put forward another point of view.

This point of view made Jie Fangcheng stunned.

"This game is somewhat contradictory." Yan Xun explained, "The dungeon provides players with a guarantee of life and safety, but it also limits players to a certain range. In other words, it is also a protection for the small world. And the one-hour hunting ground seems to be a restriction on players as well."

——Perhaps the original purpose of the existence of "Three Thousand Worlds" was indeed to save the small world that was about to collapse.

Yan Xun's words made Jie Fangcheng re-examine this game. Of course, no matter how he examined it, the presidents of the six major unions were definitely not innocent.

"See you next time."

Time passed in a flash, and Jie Fangcheng said goodbye to the robot with a smile.

The robot in front of him nodded politely: "See you next time."

Although he could not understand the emotion of "parting", the robot still reached out his hand, gently shook hands with Jie Fangcheng, and repeated: "See you next time."

A familiar white light appeared before my eyes.

But in the next second, Jie Fangcheng opened his eyes and was stunned.

What he saw before him was not the familiar game hall, but a familiar figure who had just passed by him.

The figure saw something out of the corner of his eye and turned around abruptly. When he saw Jie Fangcheng, he looked shocked and surprised.

"Brother Jie!" Qi Chanyang waved his hands at him wildly, wearing the uniform of a temporary worker in the underworld.

Apparently, during the time when Jie Fangcheng was away from the underworld, this meticulous social animal who failed to pass the civil service exam in the real world found the secret to passing the exam in the underworld.

The underworld is in chaos now, and it is in need of people. A large group of players from "Don't Answer" have come, and each of them has special skills. They either kill people and set fires in the game, or have a lot of cases to deal with.

After so long, the underworld has not come up with a solution that can completely convince the people.

So far, basically only the bad guys who have done evil in reality have been punished, and the others are still waiting for the procedures. In the process of waiting for the procedures, some players with high ideological awareness who have a good chance of becoming civil servants of the underworld are caught by the underworld, and it is normal for them to work as temporary workers.

At present, most people have entered the right track of life in the underworld.

Seeing Jie Chengfang again at this time, Qi Chanyang's thousands of words converged into one sentence: "Brother Jie, why are you here?"

Jie Fangcheng opened his mouth, and all he could say was one sentence: "Damn it, why am I here?"
