Meng Qingyin carefully put away the rare fragment and examined the one containing the names of Zhang Yan and his group of five.
[Investigation results: The time fragment is fake.]
Meng Qingyin's eyes widened suddenly.
Fake?
Is this time fragment actually fake?
Could the contents of the fragments be different from the prophetic images that Zhang Yan and the others saw?
Thinking of this, Meng Qingyin immediately sent the time fragment to Zhao Lan and Lin Qian respectively, asking them to identify it.
Mengmeng: "Do you think the contents of this fragment are the same as the prophetic image you saw in the crystal ball?"
Both of them answered in the affirmative.
Meng Qingyin was very puzzled. Had she guessed wrong?
Is the basis for judging the authenticity of time fragments not based on actual events?
She then realized that what Zhao Lan and the others saw was a prophecy of the future, something that had not yet happened, and that some of their current actions might cause deviations in the future as well.
Perhaps their future has changed, so the contents of the time fragment are fake?
Or perhaps the footage of time fragments only records what happened in the past, and what might happen in the future is also judged as fake?
Regardless, the basis for determining the authenticity of the time fragments remains her speculation, and is not definitively accurate.
Meng Qingyin continued searching for new fragments of time.
While she was searching for the fragments of time, a message appeared in the small group chat.
I'm an unlucky person: "I got a very special [Time Fragment]. It's fake, but it's very interesting. Take a look."
Is that interesting?
Click to view Meng Qingyin.
This is a rare fragment.
There is a very beautiful bird in the picture. It looks like it is wearing a rainbow. Its feathers are colorful, but the colors are strangely harmonious.
Opposite it, there was a Night Demon wearing a crown shaped like the Heart of the Night Demon.
Is this Night Demon form, Night Handsome?
Ye Yingjun was followed by a Night Demon, but the Night Demon was not as tall as him.
In Meng Qingyin's eyes, all their Night Demon forms looked the same, and she couldn't tell which Night Demon was which.
Besides Ye Yingjun and his companion, there were also Huang Teng, Jiao Ze, a person with cat ears, a minotaur, and a snake-faced man.
Meng Qingyin's heart pounded.
If nothing unexpected happens, these are the five divine masters!
Phoenix Teng, Jiao Ze, Mao He, Niu Meng, and She Bing!
And that exceptionally beautiful bird... the Divine Bird of Knowledge?
Could this be the scene of the war between the alien races that Ye Yingjun was talking about, as foretold by the Divine Bird of Knowledge?
But this fragment is fake.
Her head throbbed, and she felt that the truth was right in front of her, but it was blocked by a layer of blurry fog, and she could not see the whole picture.
What are the criteria for determining the authenticity of time fragments?
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Isn't the Night Demon here Ye Yingjun? Who are the other races?"
Chen Leying: "The Divine Lord".
I'm a lucky person (poor version): "Huh? You just said it so sweetly?"
What if the gods see this?
Mengmeng: "It seems they've decided to reveal their hand to the players, otherwise these time fragments wouldn't exist here. Of course, another possibility is that the other gods can't see everything that's happening here, because the micro-game pod is a tool of the Merfolk."
Mask: "But why give us such a fake fragment?"
Mengmeng: "I don't know. If you get any rare fragments later, please post them in the group. [Time Fragment] [Time Fragment] These are the two rare fragments I found. The first one is real, and the second one is fake."
Perhaps some information about the God is hidden in those rare fragments.
The more truly rare fragments you collect, the closer you get to the truth.
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "Huh, the second picture is fake? This must be what Zhang Yan and the others saw, right?"
Mengmeng: "I think it's something that hasn't happened yet, so it's fake. Of course, if we could know the criteria for judging the authenticity of time fragments, we might know more."
I'm an unlucky player: "Then everyone hurry up and find more fragments!"
The elderly man said, "I just unlocked a new item in my Time Shop, let me show you: [Time Pouch]"
[Time Capsule: Unlocked after the first player acquires 20 True Time Fragments. Price: 200 Gold. Tip: Identifying Time Fragments is simple! Events that actually happened are recorded within the fragments, becoming True Time Fragments. Therefore, if you can confirm that the scenes depicted in the fragments actually occurred, you can save a significant amount of money on exploration cards!]
This brocade pouch confirmed Meng Qingyin's guess: the authenticity of the time fragments was based on events that had occurred.
But why is that fragment about the prophecy of the Divine Bird of Knowledge fake?
Could it be that she was mistaken, and that the bird was not the divine bird that knew when it would come?
Or perhaps there are other errors in that fragment?
It's a pity she can't contact Ye Yingjun now, otherwise she could ask him directly—but judging from Ye Yingjun's memory, even if she asked him, he probably wouldn't know anything.
I'm an unlucky player: "Even if we know that the real fragments are based on real events, there are so many fragments from other players in different regions that it's impossible to determine if they are their own experiences. We still have to spend the gold coins."
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "Grandpa, you actually have 20 True Time Fragments? You're so fast!"
The elderly man said, "Haha, actually I have more than 100 time fragments, but I haven't explored them, so I don't know which ones are real and which ones are fake. I've been searching for the fragments and plan to explore them all at once at the end."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Alright, that's all for now. I need to hurry up and find the time fragments! Good luck everyone!"
With the group chat quiet, Meng Qingyin stopped paying attention and focused on finding fragments of time.
When she collected 50 True Time Fragments, her Time Shop unlocked a new item.
[Time Blind Box: Unlocked when a player owns 50 True Time Fragments. The Time Blind Box may contain various random Time Fragments; if you're lucky enough, you might even get a rare Fragment Exploration Card! Price: 200 Gold Coins.]
Meng Qingyin wasn't interested in random time fragments, but she was extremely interested in rare fragment exploration cards!
After all, rare fragment exploration cards can only be obtained by completing tasks, and even then, the chance of getting them is not 100%. If they could be obtained from time-limited blind boxes, it would save time spent on tasks, and time is very precious these days.
Moreover, after experiencing the "price beating" of various props, Meng Qingyin even felt that the price of 200 gold coins was already a fair price.
At this point, there are only three hours left in the 24-hour game time limit.
