Chapter 160 is here, so we have to entertain it well
February 1, near dusk, the Pacific Ocean north of the equator.
A pitch-black steam train set out from an unknown island. With the rumbling sound of the engine, the train crossed the border of the island and drove straight onto the track built above the sea.
Under the sunshine, the sea surface sparkled with dots of green and golden light, like a road made of colorful silk. The train rushed past without paying attention to the surrounding scenery.
Soon, five figures gradually appeared inside carriage No. 9 of the train.
Anson Lu was the first to enter the copy, followed by Yuri, Urushihara Ritsu, Uesugi Asuka and Chu Qimo.
At this moment, all the windows of the carriage were open, the breeze from the Pacific Ocean blew on my face, I could smell the cool breath of the tide, but the temperature in the carriage was very comfortable, as if the heater was on.
"Wow, it really isn't some hell dungeon." Asuka Uesugi looked around and said with satisfaction.
If at this moment, Anson Lu had chosen a copy similar to 'Dark Disneyland 2', Asuka might have really been unable to resist turning into a red dragon and spitting fire at him to death.
"Actually, I couldn't find a more thrilling copy." Anson Lu told the truth.
"roll."
"The sea train is such an overly magical setting." Urushihara Ritsu moved his deep eyes and looked out the window.
This old track stands above the sea, seemingly endless, extending all the way to the horizon at the end of the sight. The wheels of the train cut through the tide, stirring up white waves.
"It seems that we will have to spend some time on the sea." Chu Qimo took off the sword bag on his shoulder.
"Yes, I don't know how long it will take, but the end point of the copy is Hawaii Island."
As Anson Lu spoke, he moved closer to the window and leaned out, his hair messed up by the sea breeze.
The sea and the sky are one color. The sea is like a mirror, reflecting the green sky. The clouds are flowing slowly on the green sea, and the white canvas flag on the top of the train is fluttering in the wind.
If the train had not been running in the sea, Anson Deer might not have been able to tell which side was the sea and which side was the sky.
The strange cries of marine creatures overlap together, as if playing a light and long symphony. Although it is pleasant to the ears, one can also feel the infinite depth of the ocean and the horror of knowing one's own insignificance.
However, the cool sea breeze soothed this uneasiness.
The so-called sounds of nature are just like this, but the roar of some giant creature coming from the deep sea from time to time breaks the tranquility and comfort that is like being in a divine realm.
Asuka Uesugi was leaning against the car window. She just stuck her head out when she heard the sudden loud noise. Her slender shoulders trembled slightly and her whole back shook.
Anson Deer's reaction was calm, but he did not forget to cast a contemptuous look at her.
"Well, I think so," he said, "no matter how scary the copy is, someone can turn it into a horror game, just like some people can be so scared that they smash the screen when playing the biohazard mode of CSGO."
"Shut up." Asuka gave him a cold look.
"Yes, sir." Anson was quickly timid.
Time passed quickly. He entered the dungeon at 12 noon, but after arriving at the dungeon, the sky quickly darkened and the sun gradually sank below the horizon.
Anson Lu raised his eyebrows: "The speed of time passing in this copy seems to be very fast?"
Urushihara Ritsu glanced at his phone, checked the current time, and said slowly:
"No, Lu Jun, the speed of time passing is the same as in the outside world. It's just that our consciousness is in a state of nothingness for four hours while we are loading the copy - so the current time is already five o'clock in the afternoon."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Anson Lu suddenly realized.
He said, how come the time jumped directly from noon to dusk as soon as we entered this dungeon? Even if the time in the dungeon passed very quickly, it couldn't go on at this speed, right?
This leaves only one possibility: they spent a full five hours reading the copy.
By the way... can you ski in Hawaii? Probably, right?
Thinking of this, Anson Deer turned his head and looked at the Icelandic girl leaning against the window.
At this moment, the train was speeding above the boundless sea. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window onto Yuri's face, and the rumbling sound of the engine lingered in his ears.
The sea breeze blew, and the girl's light white hair fluttered in the wind, as if it was dyed golden by the sun in the sky.
“The sea is so beautiful.”
Yuri said softly.
Her clear eyes reflected the vast ocean. Her pupils had never been so bright and clear, just like the eyes of a teenage girl should have.
Anson Lu stared at her profile quietly without making any sound to disturb her.
After all, this might be her first time at sea. After the age of nine and before the age of seventeen, the space this Icelandic girl could move around in every day was just the official ward and the stage built by capital.
Every day when she was flipping through books in that ward, she must have wondered what the sea was like.
Watching the fireworks with them in Hokkaido, watching the sea city carrying the remains of the ghost general gradually sinking into the sea, did she also wonder what the middle of the sea was like? She really wanted to see it with her own eyes.
Soon, the system prompt sounded in the ears of the five people, interrupting Anson Lu's thoughts.
[It is detected that five crew members have entered the No. 9 carriage of the "Rescue" train, and the first part of the dungeon is about to begin: the Dead Sea. ]
[Goal of the session: Protect the train and arrive safely at Hawaii Island; End time of the session: Three days.]
"The first stage will take three days." Anson Lu shrugged and said helplessly: "Depending on the situation, this instance will take at least five or six days to complete."
"Did you reach Hawaii Island safely?" Urushihara Ritsu laughed and said slowly:
"That is to say, what dangers we will encounter in the Pacific Ocean in the next three days. Moreover, we must not only ensure our own safety, but also protect the train from being destroyed."
Chu Qimo listened to the roar of the beast from the deep sea and said expressionlessly:
“It sounds quite difficult.”
"Of course I have to choose one that's not easy, otherwise it would be a waste of time." Urushihara Ritsu smiled.
"That's right." Chu Qimo said, "If we choose copies with fewer resources, we will be caught up by the law enforcement team sooner or later."
"After all, the law enforcement team is backed by the government and enjoys more resources." Urushihara Ritsu said, "If the Evolution Coin Mall didn't have items that boost experience points, they would definitely level up faster than us."
Currently, it has been confirmed that there are only two sequences that rely heavily on Evolution Coins to improve combat power - Cyber Strike and Old Chess Player.
However, if the Cyber Giant wants to develop new sequence skills, it needs something called "Technology Points" - Technology Points must be upgraded to a certain level to be obtained, and have nothing to do with Evolution Coins.
However, there are many things that Cosimo can do with Evolution Coins, such as strengthening the health, durability, and defense data of the prosthesis, etc.
Moreover, there is almost no upper limit - that is, as long as he invests evolution coins, he can become infinitely stronger.
Since he has the support of the official, it is extremely easy for him to obtain evolution coins.
However, given Cosimo's personality, he would not like the official to collect evolution coins from other players and hand them over to him.
After all, other players also absolutely need evolution coins to improve their own combat effectiveness, which will directly determine their own life and death and subsequent development space.
If the national authorities blatantly collect evolution coins from ordinary players and transfer them to sequence players, it will undoubtedly directly deprive these ordinary players of their right to survive.
This goes against Cosimo's values - it is precisely because of all these self-restraints that Cosimo, despite having a career path with great potential, has ended up in his current state.
But if one day he suddenly figures it out and is willing to accept the evolutionary coin resources provided by the authorities, then the strength of this little brat will definitely improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, and it would not be surprising if he even surpasses Lorenzo.
There are many debates on the Internet about similar issues: some netizens believe that resources should be concentrated in the hands of top players.
After all, evolution coins are of little use in the hands of those low-level players - if you raise a person with a combat power of 1 to 200, he may still be cannon fodder. It is better to raise a person with a combat power of 1000 to 1100.
Therefore, many netizens believe that if the former chess players can be brought into the law enforcement team and given more evolution coin resources, the strength of this world number one will definitely be able to reach a higher level.
Is this also the confusion most people have about why Anson Deer did not join the law enforcement team?
It is obvious that as long as he joined the law enforcement team, he could enjoy official resources from all over the world, but Anson Lu chose to go it alone and even opened his own union.
But at the same time, for every supporter, there are many who oppose this practice, saying that doing so is completely against humanitarianism. How can we deprive the lower-level players of their right to survival and take away resources from them?
Despite this, the country has not explicitly banned this practice, but they will not do it themselves. Instead, they will quietly wait for those disadvantaged players to voluntarily hand over the evolution coins.
If some players cannot bear the pressure and choose to give up struggling, then these players can hand over the Evolution Coins to the Evolution Foundation, increasing the possibility of saving the world.
In addition, although it sounds ridiculous, many impoverished players will choose to use "Evolution Coins" to pay for various living expenses during the holidays - food, housing, shopping, etc.
This type of evolution currency handed over to state-owned enterprises will eventually be paid to the state regardless of the channel, and its mandatory nature is similar to the obligation to fulfill taxes.
However, the country will also use a corresponding amount of RMB as compensation. For those citizens who did not participate in the evolution game, since they cannot use the evolution coins, they might as well hand over the evolution coins they got from the players.
Anyway, in the sequence data currently released by the Evolution Foundation, the heights that can be reached with Evolution Coins for most career sequences are limited - for example, items in the mall cannot be bought again after being bought once, there is more or less a limit.
For ordinary career sequences, what they need more is levels rather than evolution coins. For them, as long as they advance the dungeon step by step, they will never be short of evolution coins, which are more than enough to purchase the limited sequence products in the mall.
However, "Old Chess" and "Cyber Assault" are two extreme outliers. As long as you have enough evolution coins, the heights these two sequences can reach are unimaginable.
This is why people are puzzled by Cosimo and Anselmo. Any one of them, as long as they have the support of the authorities and use the resources of the law enforcement team, can definitely grow into a monster.
However, Anson Deer did not join the official team, and Cosimo was completely unwilling to accept the evolution coin resources obtained from the grassroots players, so the official team could not force him.
In addition, there are also sequences with more special mechanisms - they require neither evolution coins nor levels, but another specific object.
For example: Pope of the Mad Bell, Hand of Devouring.
Lorenzo absorbs emotions from humans or monsters to derive sequence skills; Yuliu derives sequence skills by killing and devouring monsters, and can even temporarily steal the skills of other sequence players.
Back to the topic, the five people from Hell Lighthouse explored the train and got some basic information - this "Rescue Train" has a total of 20 carriages, and each carriage is equipped with staff (NPC).
Among them, carriage No. 9 is the 'birth point' of this copy and is also a place for crew members to rest.
As for the rest of the carriages, they are so bizarre that they can be described as "a hundred flowers blooming in full bloom": in the front there is the food carriage and the theater carriage; in the back there is the gambling carriage, the aquarium carriage, and the library carriage;
Among them, the most amazing ones are the arcade cars, aquarium cars, garden cars and other magical ones.
It was already dusk when the five people entered the copy. After visiting all the carriages on the train, they returned to carriage No. 9. It was already seven o'clock in the evening and it was gradually getting dark.
The night was like a curtain, covering the vast Pacific Ocean, dyeing the green tide into black. At the same time, like fallen dominoes, each car of the train gradually became brighter.
"Let me guess, someone will sneak into the gambling car at night." Anson Deer looked at the crow and spread his hands.
"No, Lu Jun, although I am very interested in what level the NPCs there can reach, but if things go as expected, I'm sure danger will come soon." Urushihara Ritsu curled his lips.
Chu Qimo looked out the window. The train was still running on the endless track. "Yes, from just now on, the sound of the beast's roar became more obvious. It came from the bottom of the sea."
Under the moonlight, the brightly lit train rumbled towards the other side of the horizon. The sea was rising and falling, and the waves were becoming more and more violent, as if there were ferocious beasts lurking beneath this gray and black ocean.
They were aggressive and coveted this ungrateful train.
Asuka Uesugi just came out of the aquarium carriage. She hugged her elbows and looked at the three people with serious faces: "So, what are we going to do? This mission is to let us take a vacation on the train?"
At this moment, Yuri opened his eyes and reminded in an emotionless voice:
“Here I come.”
"Bang!!!"
The next moment, the sea surface just to the right of the track suddenly burst open, black waves swept in like an overwhelming force, and the deafening roar seemed to be about to drown the entire world.
Under the moonlight, a beast of astonishing size slowly appeared and roared at the brightly lit train. It was a huge crimson whale, more than thirty feet long.
[Monster name: Red Whale]
[Monster Level: Lv.22]
[Monster killing rewards: a large number of evolution coins, a large number of materials, unknown rewards. ]
"Yes, it's here." Anson Deer raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, "Then we have to entertain it well."
Thank you all very much for your monthly tickets!
