Regardless of whether the topic was turned in a strange direction in the middle, it was an established fact that Tang Ying could not come to "Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs Star" for the time being. Although Bai Li and Wen Xingyao felt a little surprised, they still accepted it.
"In that case, there's nothing we can do. Come back next month when you're done with your work," Bai Li said.
It's almost the end of the month, and according to Tang Ying, he still has a long way to go.
"Whatever. It doesn't matter when you come." Wen Xingyao answered casually, with a barely noticeable sense of ease and brightness in his tone.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the other two people in the reception room turned their heads to look at him. Wen Xingyao was obviously the protagonist of this topic, and Tang Ying came here to take him back, so why did he become the calmest one present?
To be frank, his attitude easily gives people the illusion that he is unwilling to leave.
Tang Ying looked at Wen Xingyao with suspicion, trying to read something from his face. However, Wen Xingyao was as steady as an old dog, and even in this situation he could turn around and look at his adjutant with doubt, his eyes also full of doubt.
As if asking: "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong?"
Tang Ying was defeated under such a look and even doubted his sixth sense. Was he wrong just now? Otherwise, how could he think that the other party didn't want to come back at all?
After discussing the most important things, Tang Ying did not stay in Bai Li's house for long. He said that he had other things to do and then logged off.
After Tang Ying left, Bai Li looked at Wen Xingyao with a half-smile and said, "I haven't thanked you yet for helping me so much back then."
Wen Xingyao pursed his lips unconsciously, feeling a little happy in his heart, but he said: "Even if I am not there, the netizens who apply for game quotas through Mo Song's post will quickly fill up the number of players."
He just took advantage of time and was lucky enough to enter the game at the same time as Bai Li, so he saw the scenery of "Leisurely Farmhouse" earlier than others.
"Haha." Bai Li smiled, and changed his posture from sitting fairly straight to leaning on the small coffee table, and jokingly said with his chin in his hand, "Your answer is too serious, I was just joking with you, you don't have to be so nervous. But what were you thinking at the time, to actually go and talk about this game with Tang Ying."
In Bai Li's opinion, shouldn't the topics that the interstellar admiral and his adjutant usually discuss be those that have risen to the level of the empire and are of great significance to interstellar peace? Why would they recommend games?
Speaking of this, Wen Xingyao really wanted to say something: "At first I just thought this game was very special, different from other holographic games on the market, and the gameplay was very novel. But later, I was very glad that I recommended this game to Tang Ying, so that many soldiers in the military could enter this game. You may not know that staying in the world of "You Ran Tian Ju" for a long time is very good for the orcs' genetic collapse disorder. According to Tang Ying, many soldiers have said that they have been in mental mania for a shorter time and less frequently. This is a sign that the genetic collapse disorder is slowly recovering. Although we cannot make a conclusion without testing, many soldiers already believe that playing this game will become their hope of curing genetic collapse disorder. What's more, the game is really fun, isn't it?"
Bai Li had always heard people talk about "Gene Collapse Disorder", but he didn't know much about this disease. He took this opportunity to ask the questions in his mind.
"What exactly causes this 'Gene Collapse Syndrome'? It is said that playing holographic games can alleviate the outbreak of this disease, but is there any scientific explanation for it?" He always felt that the appearance of this disease was strange, and the method of treating it was also strange.
After hearing Bai Li's question, Wen Xingyao paused imperceptibly. Logically speaking, even a three-year-old child in the empire could explain some of the reasons. So... Bai Li should not be unaware of it, right?
Unless he had never received relevant education since childhood, and no one around him talked to him about this. But, is this possible? Even if the orphans were good, they would be adopted and raised well by the Imperial Welfare Institute, and they would not miss any knowledge that they should be taught, and they would not be allowed to live on their own until they reached adulthood.
Thinking of Bai Li, who has always been alone in reality, has a space button that ordinary people can't afford, and a large amount of delicious food stored in the space button. He can also grow vegetables by himself, and the vegetables he grows have a delicious taste that the vegetables and fruits grown on special agricultural planets don't have.
Moreover, he couldn't even tell the difference between ordinary small animals and orc cubs. He seemed to lack a lot of common sense.
He's a man with secrets.
Wen Xingyao lowered his eyes to hide the thoughtful light in his eyes. When he raised his eyes again, he had returned to normal. He told Bai Li all the information he knew about "Gene Collapse Disorder".
Genetic collapse syndrome appeared after the war with the Zerg ended, and there were signs even before that. At the beginning, the orcs could not control their tempers. During that period, they would always quarrel with others for no apparent reason, and then escalate to physical contact. But when the fight was over, they would say in a confused manner that they had no grudge against each other, so why did they fight with each other for no apparent reason?
The robot police officer in charge of mediation regarded their explanations as sophistry and did not report these fights as abnormal situations.
It was not until an orc suddenly transformed into a huge beast form during a fight and began to wreak havoc nearby, injuring many people and even seriously injuring an ancient blue star man that someone realized something was wrong and started an investigation. This investigation was incredible. There were thousands of fights in the entire empire in that month alone, and some of them transformed back into beast form to fight. This investigation result attracted the attention of the top leaders, and the Imperial Research Institute also launched a study. In the end, it was found that behind these incidents, it was not human beings who were causing trouble, but that there were problems with the orcs' bodies. Their genes had become unstable, and the deep-seated crying caused them to be unable to control their tempers, which led to bloodshed again and again.
The Imperial Research Institute named this newly discovered disease "Gene Collapse Syndrome". Later, the disease was further refined and divided into early, middle and late stages. In the early stage, the orcs will feel a splitting headache, weakness and a faint desire to destroy. The symptoms are the mildest and can be barely controlled. The refreshing candy developed by the Imperial Research Institute has a good effect on this stage.
In the middle stage, the manic feeling and destructive desire rise rapidly. Every few days, the body will be out of control, and the person will become unconscious and not recognize his relatives. Anyone who dares to step forward to stop him will be attacked by the orcs who have fallen into "genetic collapse syndrome". Now more than 50% of the orcs in the empire are in the middle stage. The only way to alleviate this symptom is to let them vent their destructive desire.
Casualties can easily occur in reality, so holographic games become the most suitable place.
In the later stages, gene collapse syndrome is theoretically incurable. Orcs at this stage will regress to their childhood, lose their attack power, lose their memories as humans, and be sent to the "Star of Hope" to live like ordinary animals until they grow old and die.
As for why it is said "theoretically", isn't it true that now there is something that is beyond the scope of theory?
"The Imperial Research Institute has not yet found a reasonable explanation for the specific cause of 'Gene Collapse Syndrome'. But it is a fact that some holographic games can alleviate the aggravation of 'Gene Collapse Syndrome' to a certain extent. Now, the Imperial Research Institute has a mature testing mechanism. They can analyze the therapeutic effect of each game on this disease, and then recommend the sick orcs to play this game. Of course, if the orcs themselves find a game that they think is effective but has not been tested, they can also recommend it to their relatives and friends."
For example, the 300 warriors at the beginning entered the game based on his recommendation.
Bai Li probably understood what Wen Xingyao said, and only thought that "holographic games can treat gene collapse" was a basic operation in the interstellar era, and did not think deeply about it. Or maybe he guessed that this matter was related to him mixing the spirit of plants and trees into the game map, but he did not think that this invisible existence would be detected by the Imperial Research Institute, and at most the treatment effect would be better.
"Okay, I understand." Bai Li smiled slightly and expressed his gratitude to Wen Xingyao again.
Wen Xingyao opened his mouth but didn't say "you're welcome".
The content of the conversation on that day was, in the eyes of the two, a popular science discussion on "Genetic Collapse Syndrome". The fact that orcs would suddenly change back into beast form and wreak havoc was also very far away from them. After all, the daily life of a man and a cat only consisted of games, and they would stay at home if possible. The last time Bai Li went out was to take the Supreme, whose true identity was still unknown, out for a walk.
No one expected that a "disaster" would suddenly strike from the sky one day.
It really fell from the sky.
Since the "Village Chief's Residence" mission and the "Corn Master" event ended, Bai Li has been idle for a while after exchanging his prizes and participating in a live broadcast. He is not in a hurry to add new gameplay to the game, nor does he put new props in the mall. He just records some of his inspirations and will update the players with a big wave next month.
Because he knew the true identity of Zhizun, he didn't dare to pet the cat casually. When Zhizun was in his infancy, he consciously distanced himself from him. Although he was always defeated by Zhizun's aggrieved little voice, he believed that his behavior was still effective. When Wen Xingyao's consciousness woke up in Zhizun's body, they began to communicate with each other in a question-and-answer style, and they got along well.
Feeding Wen Xingyao with the pure spiritual energy of plants and trees became more frequent. Sometimes Bai Li even fed him three times a day, more actively than eating.
Because of this, Supreme's size is growing rapidly, and now it is the size of an adult golden retriever. When I first brought it home, I could hold it up with one hand, but now... my arm is sore after holding it for a few minutes.
What Bai Li didn't notice was that sometimes the cat eyes of the Supreme looking at him would gradually darken in color, with only tiny golden lights occasionally shining through, revealing not a single emotion of its owner.
It was noon on February 25th. Bai Li closed the game room and dragged the sleepy Supreme out. Suddenly, he felt the ground shaking and the whole building seemed to be shaking. There was a wild howl of some kind of beast outside, and it was getting closer and closer.
He subconsciously looked out the window and found that not far from the building, there was a huge black animal rushing towards him. And the floor he was on was not the first floor of the building.
In other words, this unknown black beast was flying in the air, swooping towards them like a cannonball, with more than one black tail floating behind it!
Before Bai Li could even take a good look at what kind of animal this black giant beast was, he hugged the Supreme in his arms and weighed him with his hand because of his weight. After making sure that he would not fall while he was running, he rushed out of the house.
Elevators in the interstellar age are much safer than those in the 21st century. Bai Li confidently took Supreme into the elevator, and soon arrived at the first floor. They then ran to a nearby open space, and only then did they have time to look up.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel lucky.
The floor-to-ceiling glass window of the house that belonged to him and the Supreme had a big hole smashed in it from the outside, and thick glass fragments and some building materials fell down. His divine sense entered the room through the hole, and it was already a mess. The game cabin that had just been bought was the most seriously damaged. It seemed to be cut in the middle by something, and dangerous sparks were coming out of one half.
Before he had time to feel sorry for the most expensive equipment in the family, he tried to look inside again, but was keenly noticed by the giant beast that was walking around frantically in the house. It let out a howl and flew out of the hole following the sense, and immediately found its target. Its tail was swinging wildly behind it, and its big fox eyes revealed a bloodthirsty light.
Not far away, the nearest patrol robot quickly came over, and the sound of "beep beep" resounded throughout the sky. But judging from the situation, it seemed a little too late.
Bai Li's residence was really remote, and despite the loud noise, no one else ran out of the building except him and Zhizun. Could he be the only resident in the building now?
The hand holding Supreme tightened slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he squatted down and put Supreme on the ground, patted his back and signaled him to hide in a safe corner first.
After that, regardless of the Supreme's reaction, he stood up again and prepared himself for the battle.
He had realized that the black beast had set its sights on him and would not leave until it defeated him, bit him to death, or suffered some pain at its hands. Bai Li calculated the difference between his current faith value and that of his heyday, and knew that he was likely to lose to the other party, but he did not need to fight the beast desperately, as long as he could protect himself and the Supreme before the robot patrol arrived.
However, he still underestimated the speed of the beast. As he put the Supreme on the ground and stood up again, the beast quickly moved in front of him, with its sharp teeth close at hand. Bai Li hurriedly stepped back and raised his hand to block. The beast's strength was also at its highest value. After a few exchanges, Bai Li successfully felt a little tired.
The opponent was so strong that he felt a dull pain in his arm bones.
After dodging the beast's attack with a jump, a humble metal pipe suddenly appeared at his foothold. By the time Bai Li found it, it was too late to change his foothold temporarily. He stepped on it, and the metal pipe slid forward for a distance, but Bai Li fell backwards and soon fell to the ground.
The giant beast noticed this rare flaw and pounced forward with force.
But in the blink of an eye, a giant beast with wings on its back and burning flames on its body rushed in between the two, and covered Bai Li, who had already fallen to the ground, under its body like a protector, and carefully controlled the fire on its body so as not to hurt the other party.
Different from the normal temperature below his body, the fire behind him became increasingly hot, scalding the black beast that accidentally touched it and causing it to howl. The intense pain allowed the other party's eyes to regain a trace of clarity, and it struggled to escape from this place.
But before he fled completely, he took another deep look in Bai Li's direction, with a strange reluctance and entanglement in his big fox eyes. In the end, escaping was more important, and he swung his big tail again and again, and escaped before the robot patrol arrived.
Bai Li, who was carefully protected in the arms of Wen Xingyao who suddenly switched from orange cat form to lion form, felt the pain and before he could say anything, he had to watch the huge animal on him shake, and then slowly changed from a furry big lion to an adult man.
His long silver hair cascaded down, his skin was white with a cold glow, and the inconspicuous vertical line on his forehead not only did not ruin his overall appearance, but made him more recognizable. His dark golden eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Bai Li with a look of relief and unexpected joy.
Because Jinjiang does not allow it, he was dressed neatly without any exposed part.
