Li Dongze briefly elaborated and said:
"The spirit realm is a supernatural force that cannot be explained by science at present. Although we have been trying to analyze it and understand it, we still don't fully understand it. The spirit realm exists in reality, but it is separated from reality. Only the chosen people can enter the spirit realm."
“And the way I was chosen…” He took a sip of wine and said with a smile: “You should have experienced it.”
"That card?" Zhang Yuanqing responded at the right time.
Li Dongze nodded slightly:
“It’s called a role card. Those who obtain a role card will start a trial mission. If they pass the trial, they will get a corresponding profession and possess the skills and characteristics of that profession.
"The mechanism for selecting travelers in the spirit realm has not yet been figured out, and the way to issue role cards is not fixed. Sometimes it will appear directly in your body; sometimes you will pick it up on the roadside; sometimes you will accidentally click on a link on the Internet...
"Completing the trial mission is just the beginning. If a Spirit Realm walker wants to upgrade and become stronger, he must constantly accept missions and enter the Spirit Realm. But don't worry, the frequency of missions is not high, and not every Spirit Realm scene will endanger your life. On the contrary, some Spirit Realms will be very interesting.
"For example, I am a level 3 scout. In the past two years, I have entered the spirit realm six times. Three of them were solo spirit realms, and I almost died in them. The other three were multiplayer and multiplayer team spirit realms, which are relatively safer and more interesting. Haha, if you want to gain superpowers, you have to pay a price."
Li Dongze paused to give Zhang Yuanqing time to ask questions.
"Is it similar to a game copy?" Zhang Yuanqing gave his own understanding.
Li Dongze smiled:
"I like talking to you young people because you have a strong understanding and are eager to learn new things."
After praising him, he nodded:
"That's right, it's like playing a game, and the spirit realm is a dungeon. Some dungeons are single-player, and some are multiplayer. Single-player dungeons are the most dangerous, with the highest mortality rate.
"The multiplayer type is relatively good. There are death type and punishment type. The latter only deducts a certain amount of experience points."
Zhang Yuanqing asked curiously, "Why is the single-player type the most deadly?"
Li Dongze pondered for a moment, "In a multiplayer spiritual realm, you will encounter spiritual realm walkers of other professions, but in a single-player spiritual realm, it is the spiritual realm of your own profession. Take the scout as an example. The extraordinary abilities of this profession are insight, tracking, and analysis.
"So the three single-player spirit realms I encountered were playing a detective to deduce a case; chasing villains in the jungle to hunt each other; and surviving in the wilderness. In addition, the spirit realm copies of each profession, the extraordinary stage and the saint stage are different."
My profession is Night Wanderer, and I entered a supernatural dungeon. Fortunately, there is a multiplayer dungeon, otherwise I would be scared to death in the spiritual realm sooner or later. Will there be changes in the spiritual realm dungeon at the Saint stage? Zhang Yuanqing nodded as he listened.
"Did Lei Yibing disappear because he entered the spiritual realm?" Zhang Yuanqing asked in a deep voice.
He urgently needed confirmation from an official figure to confirm his guess. If Brother Bing had entered the spiritual realm, then things would not be so bad.
Li Dongze thought for a while and said:
"After Lei Yibing disappeared mysteriously, officials from the Hangzhou Police Department took over the case. They concluded that Lei Yibing had died in the spirit realm."
Zhang Yuanqing heard his heart suddenly stop, and he could not help but feel anxious and panicked. "Why?"
Li Dongze explained: "Because it took too long. A normal Spirit Realm copy, at least in the Transcendent Realm, takes a few hours at the shortest and one or two days at the longest. And Lei Yibing has been missing for four days. The Transcendent Realm represents levels 1-3."
"What about above the Transcendent Realm?"
“I’m not sure, but there should be a longer copy.”
Maybe Brother Bing is a powerful spiritual traveler... Zhang Yuanqing could only comfort himself in this way.
As for the missing soldier, at this stage, he is destined to be of no help, regardless of his ability or knowledge.
In comparison, joining an official organization and then saving yourself is the most important thing at the moment.
"...By the way, before I introduce you to the official organization, there is one more very important thing." Li Dongze took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, "What is your moral value?"
"60 points, the initial value." Zhang Yuanqing answered honestly.
Li Dongze nodded: "For a novice like you, moral value is the biggest pitfall, you must remember this."
"Why do you say that?" Zhang Yuanqing did not hide his doubts.
"Remember the note below the moral value?"
Remember, it made me a good person... Zhang Yuanqing almost put on a Huazai face.
Li Dongze said seriously:
"The initial value of morality is 60. If it is lower than this value, the punishment mechanism of the Spirit Realm will be triggered. It will inform all the Spirit Realm walkers in the same city of your location and issue a task to eliminate you."
......Zhang Yuanqing was dumbfounded and blurted out:
"Then I can't do bad things for the rest of my life?"
Well, I'm not saying to do bad things, but being a saint is too tiring.
In addition, what is the standard for measuring moral values? If crafting and posting erotic pictures are considered moral degradation, then his life is doomed.
Li Dongze laughed, as if he really liked seeing the newcomer show this expression, and said slowly:
"Don't be so nervous. According to our observations, if a spiritual realm walker steals, robs, or injures someone... they will lose 1 to 5 points of morality depending on the severity of the situation. If they kill someone, they will lose 10 points of morality. If it causes serious consequences and multiple people are killed or injured, the corresponding amount of morality will be deducted depending on the severity of the situation.
"As for some personal moral losses, they will not affect the moral value. In addition, the moral value will be deducted, but of course it can also be accumulated. That's why I let you be a good person."
This mechanism sounds like it is deliberately designed to restrain the Spirit Realm practitioners, but why would the Spirit Realm want to restrain the practitioners?
Whether it is morality or law, they are all things created by humans in order to maintain order. In nature, other creatures except humans do not need these things.
In other words, unless the spiritual realm stands on the side of human beings, the existence of moral values is somewhat unreasonable.
But the spiritual realm is a supernatural phenomenon.
Zhang Yuanqing instinctively felt that this restriction was unreasonable, but since Li Dongze did not explain, it meant that he did not know the reason either.
It is not difficult to see from the conversation just now that the official understanding of the spiritual realm is limited.
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly realized, "I see. No wonder it's such a big pitfall for newbies. So how do we accumulate moral points?"
After gaining superpowers, novices often use their abilities to do things they wanted to do before but couldn't, such as making money.
The methods to make quick money are all written in the criminal law.
And eating abalone... Hmm, I wonder if supporting a poor girl will reduce my moral value? In the definition of the spiritual realm, is this considered a violation of personal morality or a violation of the law?
Zhang Yuanqing didn't dare ask this question. After all, they were not familiar with each other yet and he didn't want to leave a bad impression on his future leader.
"Accumulating moral points is as easy as reducing them. Just do good things. In fact, many spiritual practitioners from evil organizations are keen on doing charity and donating money, because this is the fastest way to accumulate moral points. As long as there is enough money, they can kill people without restraint." Li Dongze snorted:
"It's ironic, isn't it? You never know what kind of people are behind those who do charity. What's even more ironic is that human life can be measured by money. This is true in reality and in the spiritual realm as well.
"Also, if Spirit Realm practitioners fight each other, their morality points will not be deducted."
After Zhang Yuanqing had digested this information, Li Dongze continued:
“Next, let’s talk about official organizations.
"The official organization we belong to is called the Five Elements Alliance, which is composed of five major forces, namely the Hundred Flowers Association, the White Tiger Army, the Red Fire Gang, the Water God Palace, and the Central Courtyard. The five major forces represent five professions: Wood Monster, Scout, Fire Master, Water Ghost, and Earth Monster."
Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but complain in his heart: Why are the official organizations full of monsters?
"In addition to the Five Elements Alliance, there are several other organizations with official backgrounds. I will send them to you in the information later." Li Dongze fumbled with the wine glass and said:
"The five major organizations within the Five Elements Alliance have formed an alliance in the last twenty years. Before that, they were independent and had bad relations with each other. This involves the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, as well as the differences in habits between different professions."
Li Dongze took a sip of wine and shrugged. "Take the wood monsters in the Baihua Club for example. They are a group of extreme environmentalists and members of the Animal Protection Association. My God, they actually tried to push the Five Elements Alliance headquarters to issue a rule prohibiting members from eating dog meat. God is not as outrageous as them. Every time I see their sick faces of loving animals, I can't help but want to kick their butts with my leather shoes."
Next, Li Dongze severely criticized the four major professions other than the White Tiger Soldiers.
This gave Zhang Yuanqing a more intuitive understanding of other organizations in the Five Elements Alliance, such as the Red Fire Gang, which would never say a word until it could take action; and the Water God Palace, which had a gloomy personality and liked to cultivate viruses and bacteria.
For example, the atrium of a local boss engaged in real estate and mining development.
"Only our White Tiger scouts are wise, calm and courageous. They are the perfect profession," Li Dongze concluded.
Zhang Yuanqing thought, do the other four major organizations agree with your statement?
"Heh, the more you talk about it, the more it sounds like a game, right? Some people in the Five Elements Alliance also call the Spirit Realm a "game server". Spirit Realm travelers have character panels, props, and tasks to complete, and different Spirit Realms are like dungeons. In addition, it has different professions. The people of the Red Fire Gang are reckless and impulsive, and like to promote violence, just like berserkers. The people of the Water God Palace have the ability to control water, and are water mages. The Hundred Flowers Club can raise pets and treat injuries, and they are priests and summoners. The people in the Atrium are thick-skinned and tough, typical Ts."
Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but joked:
"So your scouts are the eyes in the game that cost 75 gold each?"
Li Dongze was stunned, and couldn't help but tighten the handle of his cane, saying expressionlessly:
"If I were the Fire Master of the Red Fire Gang, I would have smashed your head with a stick by now."
"I'm sorry!" Zhang Yuanqing apologized decisively.
After the joke, the atmosphere between the two became more harmonious. Li Dongze smiled and said:
“After passing the extraordinary stage, scouts will have extremely strong individual combat capabilities. I am not exaggerating when I say this is a perfect profession.
"Of course, among the orthodox professions, Night Wanderer is recognized as the strongest profession. Well, I am talking about orthodox professions, not including evil professions. Even us scouts have to admit that Night Wanderer is more perfect than us."
Ah? Is Night Wanderer very strong? Can he beat ten of them? Zhang Yuanqing was delighted: "Can you tell me more about Night Wanderer's profession?"
Li Dongze laughed in silence, but he also understood the young people's admiration for the strong, and said:
"Night Wanderers can display extremely strong assassination abilities and considerable explosive power in the early stages of the Transcendent Realm. In addition, they also have the ability to communicate with souls, refine corpses and control spirits. They have diverse skills and strong combat power.
"However, the number of Night Wanderers is extremely rare. Currently, there is no Night Wanderer in the Songhai City branch. This is because there are too few Night Wanderers in Songhai for the trial spirit realm. In addition, the Taiyi Sect in the capital is constantly absorbing Night Wanderers from all over the country."
At this point, he naturally asked about the new employee's occupation and said:
"What's your profession? I hope you're not a fire master. I hate rude and violent young people."
