Chapter 84 A06 Update!
The official forum of "Disaster Online" is particularly lively today.
As for the reason, it’s not because the development team updated any new content, but because someone played with the existing game content.
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "...The above is my experience in casting spells and the entire process of learning magic. I hope it can serve as a starting point and provide some reference for friends who are exploring the mysteries of magic."
It took Ye Zhiqiu about half an hour to update the post with the problems he encountered in the past two and a half weeks and the experience he had summarized. He originally planned to just write casually, but the more he wrote, the clearer his thoughts became, and before he knew it, he had written one or two thousand words.
Even in the process of sorting out the knowledge points, he had a new understanding of the magic system of "Cataclysm OL".
After thinking for a moment, he finally attached this immature idea at the bottom of the post as an academic discussion.
"...The NPC in the game mentioned that the core of magic is the subjective consciousness's imagination of objective things. I think this statement is not accurate enough."
"If it was just imagination, it wouldn't take me two and a half weeks to complete the embodiment of the flame. There must be other thresholds that can only be understood but not expressed in words."
"After much thought, I came up with a possibility..."
Different people have deviations in their perception of the same thing, just as it is difficult for people living on the coast and inland to imagine the same wind and rain.
What's more, magic is not the objective thing itself, but an extension of the objective thing, which almost determines that people's imagination about it must be very different and wild.
So why can some people cast spells and others can't?
Is it simply because of insufficient mental strength or intellectual attributes?
Yiye Zhiqiu was not sure whether he should make such an in-depth interpretation, but the clues he could grasp at present did point in the same direction.
“…A person’s spiritual power is so small that it is not enough to make the whole world respond to his wishes.”
"So 'what I think' is not accurate."
"It should be more accurate to say 'what everyone wants' and 'use it for my own benefit'."
This is the best solution he could think of.
Assuming that there is some kind of energy on the planet in the setting of "Cataclysm OL" that can respond to subjective consciousness, and the intelligent creatures living on this planet gradually become aware of its existence during the long process of evolution, they will definitely begin to consciously maximize this power.
At first, everyone talked at once and expressed their opinions. Everyone pushed in different directions, but in the end, after all their efforts, only a few raindrops fell.
Later, people realized that they could not run around like headless flies, but had to find a direction and work together. So, under the leadership of a chief or priest, they prayed for rain together, praying for the rain that everyone had seen on a certain day of a certain year.
As expected, they succeeded.
Even if they didn't end up praying for the rainstorm they saw that day, the final effect would definitely be much better than the initial one... After all, it was a common cry from a group of indigenous people, which more or less caused some resonance, or sympathy in the process.
People were not satisfied with this.
The social nature of animals soon took effect -
Whether it is a pack of wolves or a flock of sheep, they all begin to look for their leader.
Without any surprise, people almost naturally began to imagine that there was a priest or god with boundless magical power, and that he or his representative on earth could exercise the power to pray for rain on their behalf...
Thus the concept of supernatural powers was born.
And this concept must have been born together with organized human activities such as religion and culture.
The creatures living on this planet used it to construct various systems of extraordinary power and stipulated how to use it... This included the so-called elemental magic! When these rules were completely formed, deeply rooted in people's hearts, and finally left a deep enough imprint on people's minds, these rules would be further sublimated and become the underlying code for constructing the civilizations on the entire planet.
And when that time comes, even if there is no need to rely on the power of religion to maintain these rules, as long as the civilization that has inherited these rules still exists, these underlying codes will continue to exist.
I want to borrow this power system.
You have to understand it first.
That is to say, I understand "what everyone thinks"! After pressing the final enter button, Ye Zhiqiu leaned back in his gaming chair, looked at the comments section of the post, and shook his head with a self-deprecating smile.
"I'm probably possessed."
Players' feedback was split.
Some people felt that he was impressed, while others thought that he was thinking too much.
There were even people who thought, like him, that he was possessed, and asked Professor Yang to treat him.
Knowledge Explosion: "Wait, if you say that, then if I know the mass-energy equation, can't I make an atomic bomb with my hands?!"
Yiyezhiqiu: "In theory, it is possible. But first, you have to popularize a whole set of physics concepts in the game world, or at least convince enough people to agree with your ideas. Secondly, you have to make sure that you really understand the concept of atoms, otherwise you will probably only be able to come up with something that seems to be true... For example, the picture of a ping-pong ball you saw in a physics book."
The old man at the entrance of the village said: "Shit, this is probably a big problem. I have never seen what an 'atom' looks like."
Yiyezhiqiu: "Yes, so in the end you might confuse yourself and finally come up with an Atom or Machine Cult. Your followers don't really understand it, but they believe in it and that's it. In the end, it adds another line to the huge mountain of shit code... I guess."
Gaishi Xiaoxiong: "But this is just a game, is it really that real? (doubtful)"
Gou Shi: "+1, I feel like the developers probably didn't think that much about it. (funny)"
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "I'm not sure, so I just wrote down my speculation... I can only infer from a logical point of view that if this world exists, then it might be like this. Of course, logic is not absolute, and it could be something else."
“…”
On the other side, in the devil's magic workshop, Luo Yan, who was sitting on the bed meditating, was peeking at the screen.
When he saw Yiye Zhiqiu's post, an expression of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
"Wow... this guy has something!"
Although this gentleman's speculation has no reliable basis and can only be regarded as a "viewpoint", at least its internal logic is self-consistent.
What particularly amazed Luo Yan was the concept of "everyone's thoughts" and "using it for my own benefit", from which even he gained a lot of inspiration.
The essence of supernatural power and faith was summarized in just one sentence!
"...If this guy traveled through time, he could at least be Professor Ernos. If he works hard, he might even be half of Lint Isaac."
Feeling that Luo Yan was very happy, Youyou was also sincerely happy for him.
"It seems that the Demon King is very optimistic about him."
Luo Yan raised the corner of his mouth.
"Of course. I like smart cows and horses the best."
The more capable the cattle and horses are, the stronger the cemetery will be.
And what does it mean that the cattle and horses are capable? This must mean that he, the demon king, has done something right! He needs to further develop their potential in the future!
Thinking of this, Luo Yan immediately gave instructions.
"... Youyou, it seems that the time to release A06 is ripe. Serve them this dish that has been prepared long ago."
Upon hearing this, Youyou immediately responded with great enthusiasm.
"Okay!"
…
At the same time, on the official forum of "Disaster OL", an update announcement quickly appeared in front of everyone who was discussing it enthusiastically.
[A.0.6 Update: More optional species and underworld system!
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
1. New species:

Animal: Lizardman (initial attributes 6/7/6/3/3) (Talent: Scale Armor, Adsorption Claw) (Minimum Soul Level Requirement: Black Iron) (Reincarnation Cost: 2000 Contribution Points) (Initial Resurrection Cost: 200 Contribution Points) c.

2. New "Underworld" system: The first "Underworld" workshop open to the public in the cemetery is now open!
Do you want to make your weapon stronger? Do you want your musket to fire by itself? Do you want to add magic to your bullets? Then come to Oak's magic workshop! The craftsmanship of the Goblins is no worse than that of the Goblins. Oak can not only help you carve the Nether Word on the bullet head, but also on your ribs! It will turn you from an ordinary Skeleton Soldier into a "Tough Skeleton Soldier", and you will never be the same again! In addition, Oak's magic workshop is recruiting apprentices!

Give full play to your creativity to help Oak make robots and inject the power of "punk art" into the cemetery!
Note: Any Dark Text has a certain chance of failure. Please do not beat the Dark Text Master, otherwise you will be thrown into the small dark room by the Demon King.

As soon as the update announcement was released, it immediately stole the limelight from Yiyezhiqiu and became a hot topic among players and cloud players.
Can’t afford to play: “Mingwen!!!”
Dragon Walk·Super Fierce Warrior: "What the hell! They're updating weapon holes right now?!"
Dragon Walk·I Eat Food Walk: "Brother, don't you open the krypton gold channel first?!"
Knowledge Explosion: "Wait, no one noticed the two new optional races?! These attributes are so fucking awesome! (horrified)"
The old man at the entrance of the village: "All attributes are 25 points, which is equivalent to the peak of the old imperial peasant (5/5/5/5/5). The horizontal comparison is actually not bad. I can understand that the lizardmen are stronger and weaker in intelligence. But to be honest, this makes the undead look even weaker. The panel attributes of the zombie lizardmen are 11 points lower than those of the living ones? Can we still play it without strengthening it? (Dumb)"
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "You don't care about the durability, cost, and resurrection CD advantages of the Undead. And what's the point of having mediocre attributes? An old peasant in the Empire with 25 attributes may not be a match for a skeleton soldier with extremely high attributes. (Squint)"
The old man at the entrance of the village: "That's also 11 points of attributes! A huge advantage in the early stage!"
Gou Shi: "Then you choose, and tell me if it works for you. (Funny)"
The old man at the entrance of the village: "I can't afford it, I want to upgrade to bronze... Damn, 2000 contributions are required to reincarnate, and upgrading to black iron only requires 1000 contributions! TT"
Can't afford to play: "Huh? Who's calling me?"
“…”
At the same time as the update announcement was released, in the Quality Square of the Great Cemetery, a loud and evil laugh echoed in the gloomy and dark cave.
I saw a strong lizardman standing in the center of a magic circle emitting a netherworld aura, with a netherworld-colored light wrapped around his dark green scales.
“My little brother! Hahahaha!!! They’re back!!! They’re all back!!!”
The pig-headed knight slapped the ground excitedly with his thick tail and laughed loudly towards the sky, his scaly face filled with pride.
Some of the players around him walked away with frowns on their faces, while others looked at him with envy. Only the Tauren warrior standing next to him had a look of horror on his face, cursing angrily.
"Fuck! You idiot! You used the contribution points for bronze level to reincarnate?!"
The Pig-Headed Knight turned around proudly, looked at the little skeleton brother next to him, and showed off with his hands on his hips.
"Use it early and enjoy it early, you know nothing——"
[Server-wide announcement: Player "Pig-headed Knight" is requested to immediately stop uncivilized gaming behavior and cover private parts, otherwise the tools used to commit crimes may be permanently confiscated (reincarnation cannot be repaired). ]
Looking at the server-wide announcement that appeared in front of him, the Pig-Headed Knight's face instantly turned from dark green to miserable green, and he screamed.
"Fuck! Stop it, brother! I'll wear it, I'll wear pants! Wait... at least give me a pair of pants first!!!"
Just as a lizard was holding its tail around its waist and looking for pants to put on in the cave, a loud scream was heard not far away.
That unique voice is obviously that of a little devil.
Ayanami Little Devil: "Toilet! Where is the toilet? Shit! I can't hold it anymore!"
He gulped down the chemical pool: "Toilet? Where is the toilet in the cemetery? Is this your first time playing this game? Even the Demon King went outside to solve the problem. Why don't you go to a place with slimes in the maze?"
Ayanami Little Devil: "%￥#@!"
The figure flew through the entrance of the maze like an arrow, passed through the Blood Hall, and disappeared into the corridor of the maze.
Yusi, who was on duty, yawned, looked in the direction where the little devil disappeared and muttered something.
"I feel like there's something wrong with the little devil that the Demon King hatched... Could it be that the hatching posture was wrong?"
But she had never hatched that thing before, so she couldn't help much.
It has to be said that the differences between different species are greater than those between humans and lizards.
Faced with the sudden A06 version, the entire cemetery was in chaos...
