interaction

There are five locations on the map, with a lot of military forces distributed around them: a military base in the north, a hospital in the south, a botanical garden in the west, a hardware store in the east, and a shopping mall in the center.

The school where everyone was studying was located in the southwest. After a brief discussion, they decided to head to the botanical garden in the west, which was the closest to them.

Probably in order to reduce unnecessary power output and concentrate magic to shape the dream, not many townspeople were seen along the way. There were only a few passers-by with dull expressions walking on the street or sitting in shops, just like NPCs in the game, acting in a set way, without any sense of reality.

Xianyu looked around curiously. Whether it was the breeze caressing his cheeks after opening the window, the soft cushion under him, or the constant feedback of touch on his skin, everything was unbelievably real.

Things happened too suddenly, and the pace was so fast that he could only focus on adapting to the current situation. In order to protect his group members, he kept thinking, and everything squeezed his thinking space. It was not until now that he had temporarily calmed down and could be in a daze for a while without any scruples that the feeling of fear finally surfaced in his heart.

He simply couldn't imagine how many cruel things they would have to face if they hadn't met Zhao Yaya and Zhang Jiajia, relying on this group of "newbies".

Even if you survive by chance, in such a game full of intrigue and death, human hearts are the most unreliable. In order to survive, people often lower their standards through psychological suggestion, thus stepping into the abyss step by step.

Fortunately, they can still choose "kindness" and choose a more gentle way to play the game.

Thinking of this, Xianyu couldn't help but look at the samurai sword that had been hanging on his waist.

Xianyu’s previous car card character was a “Samurai”, but the ability he exchanged for was not “Sword Drawing Technique”, but “Zanpakuto” ​​- a nine-member running group including the group owner “Lord God”. What allows them to maintain their friendship for many years is not only the running group, but also the shared interest of “two-dimensional”.

He is not the only one who has chosen the two-dimensional route like Xianyu. In addition to Xianyu's "Death God" route, there is also Muxi's "Magical Girl Gen Urobuchi Version", Bai Luo's "Death Fire", and "Ichigo Daifuku"'s "Hakurei Miko (Reimu)".

For others who did not choose two-dimensional works, some two-dimensional attributes were also added to the car cards.

Especially Dog Brother, he did not choose the Originium ability as everyone expected, but played the role of the opposite sex in a showy way, which is the so-called "shemale card".

It is not uncommon to play characters of different genders in a game, but no one has ever thought that what they did back then would actually come true for them.

Behind me, I could still hear the dog brother complaining to his companions in a low voice.

"Can't you wait until I get back to the car and then pull me in?"

"Oh, who could have thought of such a thing?" his companions comforted him.

"I always feel like I'll be exposed when I walk in this skirt. It's too troublesome!" Dog brother sighed, "But my legs look really good in black stockings!"

Salted Fish: “…”

He decided to temporarily put aside his sympathy for this group of idiot friends.

Xianyu's eyes swept around the bus, sweeping over a few "puppet teammates" who made him feel frightened and had no emotional ups and downs, and then quietly cast his gaze on Bai Luo and the other two who were sitting in the front row, huddled together and chatting quietly.

Who are these people?

Even Bai Luo, the most familiar person to him, has become no longer simple in his eyes.

He is truly an extraordinary person who can stay calm quickly after entering this world, contact his companions without anyone noticing, and arrange everything.

——Even though I was very close to them, I couldn't hear what they were discussing. They must have used some supernatural power to do all this. Maybe the three of them were secretly discussing how to deal with this "game" and how to deal with other teams hiding in the dark. This was confidential information!

...

In the first row of the bus, Bai Luo, Zhao Yaya, and Zhang Jiajia sat together, staring at the ring on Bai Luo's middle finger.

A thumb-sized yellow flame appeared out of thin air on the ring.

"Oh oh oh!" Bai Luo said excitedly: "It's lit! It's actually the real fire of death!"

As people who have watched "Family Hierarchy", Zhao Yaya and Zhang Jiajia were equally excited.

"Give me a ring! I want to try it too!"

"I want one too!"

——Zhao Yaya had created the barrier in advance, so they were not worried that their conversation would be heard.

Bai Luo generously took off two rings from his fingers: "These are for you."

Soon, a ball of purple flame and a ball of indigo flame appeared on the rings of Zhao Yaya and Zhang Jiajia respectively.

The three of them looked at the flame curiously. After a while, Bai Luo finally sighed: "In fact, I always thought I was a sky attribute, but it turns out I am clear. It seems that I can also be a nurse."

"I remember Qing's attribute is 'Activity'? It suits your style." Zhao Yaya played with her flame: "I am Yun, whose attribute is 'Value-added'. Money making money also fits my attribute. But what's the use of such a small flame? At best, it can only be used as a lighter."

Zhang Jiajia placed his finger on the flame, feeling it carefully for a moment, and said with a little disappointment: "The core is still magic, but it is just covered with a shell of 'Death Fire'. It seems that it is essentially using the 'construction' ability of dreams to forcibly give magic a separate concept, thereby creating various abilities in the animation - similar to magic props."

Magic is just pure energy, the same as the various energy sources on Earth. The so-called "magic" is the various devices that require energy, from small electric lights to large airplanes and rockets. From computers to cannons and nuclear bombs, they are made and shelled, and energy is inserted and used to achieve the corresponding purpose.

In essence, there is no difference between magic and science, except that there is an extra layer of mystery of the "unknown".

But no matter the application of magic or science, one needs to understand its operation and nature, understand its concepts and rules before being able to use it.

As a panacea energy source, magic power has infinite plasticity. By changing the quasi-transformation routine and packaging, it can change from "magic" to "cultivation". With the ability of human invention and creation, when the magic power is strong enough in the future and magic is popularized, people will think divergently and use "Death Fire" and "Ninjutsu" or more abilities that could only appear in film and television works in the past to design a logical and theoretically sound power system and combat system, instead of just using the power of dreams to forcibly give simple magic a layer of animation shell like now, it is not impossible to replicate the magical powers that appear in those works in the real world.

If magic and technology could be combined as a highly malleable energy source, a spaceship that could reach the speed of light could be built, a wormhole could be opened to complete a space jump, or a "vibranium" material similar to that mentioned in a certain MCU could be produced to create Iron Man's "iron suit", or a "Gundam" could be directly manufactured...all these creations that Parnaqui would never dare to imagine could happen on Earth.

"If it's possible in the future, I will definitely drive the Gundam back to Parnaki." Bai Luo showed a yearning expression in his eyes: "It's so cool just thinking about it!"

"You reminded me." Zhao Yaya's eyes lit up: "In fact, I have been thinking about whether to disclose my identity to the authorities during this period."

"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Bai Luo was curious.

"At first, I just wanted to do business. If Parnaki's magic props are combined with Earth's technology, they can be put into assembly line production. This includes combining magic with artillery shells to do some arms business. It's too troublesome to disguise my identity everywhere, so it's better to be public. Anyway, as long as my parents don't know about it, it's fine." Zhao Yaya said, "But you just gave me a brand new idea. If I can combine things from movies and animations with magic and science, not only will my arms business be easier to do, but I can also provide the authorities with more ideas and research directions. I can also combine some simple magic props with peripherals before the world fully promotes magic, and put them on sale directly while magic is being promoted to the public, so as to avoid having to catch up with the trend later."

Zhao Yaya became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes shining: "Just think about it, if you go to Universal Studios or Disney in the future, the magic wand you buy can really use "Disarmament", the broom you buy can really fly, and the crystal shoes you put on can turn your clothes into a dress before midnight..."

"I'll go crazy buying things!" Bai Luo and Zhang Jiajia said in unison.

"Please make me a Star Wars lightsaber first!" Zhang Jiajia, a Star Wars fanatic, said excitedly, "I want to change my career and become a Jedi Knight!"

"No problem." Zhao Yaya made an "OK" gesture: "Didn't you have the idea of ​​starting a fashion brand before? I have also been preparing for the operation of a new magazine and account these days. I am going to create a brand new account that combines magic and technology - paper media doesn't matter, now I have a public account and an e-magazine, don't forget to provide me with articles!"

In Panaki, everyone in Class 9, including Rui Hang, was contributing to Zhao Yaya's magazine.

Due to the backwardness of science and the lack of scientific products to back it up, it was too costly to directly use magic in mass entertainment. Things like televisions could not be promoted at all, and movies were only popular among the upper class. Therefore, until everyone traveled through time, Parnaki was still dominated by print media.

As a major print media owner in Parnaky, Zhao Yaya owns dozens of magazines in various categories, ranging from magic to fashion, travel to gossip.

For example, Si Jishi is a major contributor to the gossip magazines in Zhao Yaya's book - and of course, she is also a major contributor to magazines (the subject of gossip).

As an astrologer, Shen Qiting has a popular section on monthly horoscopes in Zhao Yaya's astrology magazine, and is also a well-known travel writer for Zhao Yaya's travel magazine.

As the son of the "Temple of Destiny", Bai Luo can see personal fortune and destiny. He also has a popular section "Weekly Fortune" in astrology magazines. He is also a well-known author of novel magazines such as Story Collection.

Not to mention Zhang Jiajia, a frequent guest on fashion and art magazines.

In addition, all members would contribute to gossip magazines from time to time, but not as frequently as Si Jishi.

If you see outrageous gossip or hearsay in such magazines, there is a 90% chance that it came from your classmates.

Therefore, the class would often start a bloody storm because of this kind of gossip, but it was not an offline fight - since the gossip had been revealed, of course they would add fuel to the fire and reveal it back.

——Of course, all these submissions were disguised.

After all, it is unbearable to think about a group of top Parnaki astrologers, saints and even a king publicly spreading rumors in a gossip magazine.

...

Seeing that Zhao Yaya had decided on the direction of development and was determined to reveal her true colors, Zhang Jiajia and Bai Luo had no need to stop her.

Like Zhao Yaya, Zhang Jiajia also has entrepreneurial ideas, but she only wants to develop her clothing design business in Parnaky on Earth, so there is no need for her to reveal her identity.

Fashion brands rely on connections and resources in addition to talent. With Zhao Yaya providing financial support, and two popular entertainers in the entertainment industry, Su Mu and Lin Lang, helping out, not to mention Zhang Jiajia's top design talent, it's only a matter of time before her brand becomes a big hit.

"It's been less than three months since we returned to Earth, and you've already completed your career and life plans." Bai Luo counted on his fingers: "Zhou Ruo wants to open a hospice hospital, Zhou Xun wants to be a policeman, Lin Yuan's "Tower of Babel" is booming, and Yu Zhi's career as a painter is also developing very smoothly. Si Jishi is doing live broadcasts, not to mention Lin Lang and Su Mu, who have already become artists..."

He sighed: "Alas, everyone is so stubborn, unlike me, who just wants to lie down and do nothing."

"Having been in Parnaky for five hundred years isn't enough?" Zhao Yaya gave him a brain slap: "You should also think about what you want to do. Are you really going to be a civil servant who eats and drinks for thousands of years?"

"It's not that I have no interest in anything..." Bai Luo paused, suddenly looked back, his eyes lit up.

"Hey, Zhao Yaya, how's your plan for the script-killing store going?"

"I've already picked the store, what's the matter?"

"How about we cooperate?" Bai Luo rubbed his hands and said happily, "I suddenly feel that dream magic is quite good! Shouldn't we combine it with holographic games? Just think about it, use dream magic to make a VR holographic game, connect everyone's consciousness through dream magic, create several dreams that can be entered multiple times, and do a real-life script-killing game or a role-playing game - don't you see that this real-life infinite role-playing game already has one? Later, when the technology is advanced, it will be easy to make a large-scale MMORPG game like "SAO", "ALO", "GGO" and the like!"

Bai Luo became more and more excited as he spoke: "Doesn't the government want to popularize magic? We can make a holographic t equipment first! Zhao Yaya, let you develop this equipment? Let the Chinese people experience magic in advance through dreams. Isn't this more effective than hinting at the existence of magic to everyone in advance, and then scrambling to appease the public when the magic revival can no longer be concealed? Moreover, in the game, they can also be taught magic-related knowledge in advance or let them use magic props. Especially those who have "magic circuits", maybe they can use magic offline while playing..."

Bai Luo's voice gradually lowered, and he couldn't help but let out a "Fuck": "I think I accidentally said something terrible."

Zhao Yaya and Zhang Jiajia also looked at Bai Luo in a daze.

"I remember that the properties of the evil spirits would change according to the thoughts of the host. In essence, it was a manifestation of the will of all the creatures in Parnagi, right?" Zhao Yaya murmured, "In Parnagi, because of the crazy influence contained in the magic power, they showed absolute 'destruction' and the will of 'death'."

"If they really parasitized our sea of ​​consciousness and were influenced by our subconscious mind," Zhang Jiajia swallowed, "what do you think was our only thought at that time?"

"...let more people be exposed to magic, so as to reduce the magic caused by the fusion of the two worlds."

The three of them said in unison.

——Pull humans into the space created by dreams, and let them contact magic and learn magic in a "tactful" way. This is exactly the same as Bai Luo's "game" idea!

It’s just that Bai Luo’s approach is more gentle, pursuing “playfulness”, which is essentially just a “game”.

But the method used by evil spirits is to put people in danger of death. When on the verge of death, humans are more likely to unleash the potential contained in their bodies.

Moreover, the objects selected by the "Infinite Game", at least the ones they met now, all contained "magic circuits". In other words, these "players" had the possibility of practicing magic from the beginning. As long as they were exposed to magic, understood how magic worked, and gained magic power, they could use magic.

The cells in the body can breathe naturally. As long as they can breathe, everything can absorb magic power. Meditation only speeds up the absorption process and stabilizes the magic power in the body by circulating magic power, making it more "solid". At the same time, it stimulates the body to continuously "breathe" and absorb magic power.

It can be said that this approach, which does not treat human life as human life and does everything only to serve the purpose, although extremely utilitarian and overly cruel, is indeed very suitable for humans to master magic within an extreme period of time.

Such a cold-blooded approach is also very consistent with the evil's way of doing things, which is not roundabout and is stubborn - once something is determined, everything is based on the result, regardless of the cost and cruelty of the process.

Including the previous "Hall of Art", it absorbs power through faith and shares the magic power with believers in the form of "blessing". It is also a way for ordinary people to quickly contact and use magic in an easier way.

As for why they chose to use religion, it was because they were influenced by the parasite "Mu Jingbai" - previous investigations showed that Mu Jingbai's family was already fragmented due to the influence of the "evil cult", so she had the idea of ​​creating a sect. Because of this, Mu Jingbai's "disappearance" was not noticed by anyone, and the official investigation never fell on her, a small artist on the 18th line.

The child that contained important information about the "Hall of Art" was actually Mu Jingbai's sister and the real "Saint" of the "Hall of Art".

If Guan Yingying becomes a saint later, she will face the same fate as her sister.

However, Mu Jingbai had already fallen into madness under the influence of the evil spirit. In her way of thinking, this was nothing more than the ascetic practice bestowed by the "Muse".

After confirming the possibility of this incident, Zhao Yaya immediately said: "You guys keep an eye on this place for me. I will pass the information to the authorities first."

After saying that, Zhao Yaya closed her eyes, and relying on her powerful mental strength and the mental magic she obtained from Lin Langchu, she broke through the shackles of "dream magic" and returned to reality.

Just as Bai Luo and Zhang Jiajia were waiting for Zhao Yaya to come back, the bus they were riding in suddenly braked to a stop. The huge concern caused everyone who was not wearing seat belts to fall forward and hit the back of the chair, leaving their noses and faces swollen.

"Why did you brake suddenly?"

"What happened?"

"Is there an enemy attack?!"

As everyone was looking at them in confusion, several figures appeared on the residential buildings on both sides.

They raised their weapons and attacked the bus again.

Bullets, fireballs...all kinds of attacks fell on the bus that was trying to restart. With a roar, smoke and dust dispersed, and flames appeared.

"Did it succeed?" The young woman leading the team showed an excited expression, but the next moment she was stunned.

All of a sudden, stone walls appeared from nowhere, surrounding the bus and blocking all attacks.

Inside the bus, Bai Luo removed the barrier and calmly said to his bewildered friends, "Get ready, the enemy is attacking."

The group members said in unison: "Where is my dice!"

Bai Luo was filled with emotion: "After so many years, I didn't expect that it would be my turn to say this - Wake up!"
