Chapter 92
【Master, something is wrong.】
Now even Jin Jin felt something unusual.
Logically speaking, in a high-dimensional game setting, the only way for players to gain experience points is to kill monsters.
However, according to what Shang Mengyu recounted, Yao Bo was denied to have the experience of killing monsters.
That is to say.
Yao Bo suddenly rose 10 levels without realizing it.
This is thought-provoking.
"There are indeed problems, but I don't know whether the result will be good or bad. I'll have to ask Yao Bo for details."
Lin Zhi pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"Well, I have to ask. It's also possible that I didn't hear what Yao Bo said clearly and misunderstood."
Shang Mengyu nodded in agreement and added, "And from what I've seen so far, apart from the increased upgrade speed, I haven't noticed any adverse effects, and I haven't felt any discomfort."
"Contact him first."
There were too many people in the coffee shop, and even if Yao Bo came, he wouldn't be able to squeeze in, so the three of them simply started chatting online through the game panel.
Linzhi: [You mean, after you completed the mission, you went back to sleep, and when you woke up, you found that you had suddenly gained 10 levels?]
Yao Bo: [Yes.]
Linzhi: [Do you remember what mercenary mission you took? Did anything unusual happen during the mission?]
Yao Bo: [I remember, I opened two puzzle-solving boxes and found two strange books.
After contacting the employer and giving him the book, I returned to the mercenary union to complete the task and then went home.
Nothing else happened during this period...]
After frowning and thinking for a while, Yao Bo opened the input box and typed:
[However, when I was handing in the task that day, I vaguely heard some people discussing the puzzle box, and among them was someone who had opened a strange book like me.
But because these boxes in the wild are randomly spawned, it is not uncommon to get the same thing, so no one took it seriously and just thought it was a coincidence.
So if I have to say something unusual, the only thing left is probably those two strange books.]
After typing three lines of text eloquently and checking that there were no typos, Yao Bo reached out and clicked "Send".
Shang Mengyu looked up at Lin Zhi: "Could it be the problem with those two books?"
"It's possible."
And according to Yao Bo, he contacted his employer afterwards to inquire, and the other party told him that they were just two books without any words on them and were thrown away directly.
In the past, many people have obtained ordinary items in S-level missions.
There are also many cases where the mission reward is not as good as the value of the items opened.
Therefore, there is no situation where the employer deliberately conceals the truth.
If I have to say, Yao Bo got the upper hand, as he got 10 more levels for no reason.
"The problem now is that we haven't seen the two books in person, otherwise we could still study them."
"Ms. Lin, are you talking about the 'wordless book'?"
At this time, the shop owner Mr. Li happened to come over with two cups of cappuccino.
I asked subconsciously when I heard the voice.
He didn't mean to eavesdrop on the conversation between Linzhi and Shang Mengyu. He just happened to pass by and heard a few words, so he interrupted.
"Boss, do you know?"
Shang Mengyu was slightly stunned, and at Lin Zhi's hint, she added, "We're talking about the kind that's been opened in the recent puzzle treasure chest."
"Yes," the boss nodded, "that's what I was talking about."
After all, in this day and age, few people would read books except for those opened from treasure chests.
"My son brought home two wordless books a few days ago. After studying them for a while, he decided they were useless and wanted to throw them away. I thought they would be good for keeping accounts, so I brought them to the store."
"Wait for me."
As Mr. Li said this, he put the coffee on the table, hurried to the counter, took out two books from the drawer, and ran back to Linzhi's desk.
"Here, this is it."
He put the book down and motioned Linzhi to read it herself.
The covers of both books have strange patterns, like dense twisted and entangled tree roots.
Upon closer inspection, it looks like a combination of various runes and letters.
Lin Zhi reached out and opened the cover, and it was indeed blank.
Paper is also a common material, nothing special.
"It's strange."
Mr. Li frowned slightly. "My son brought back these two books and found that there were no words on them. He used fire, water, and ice to try, but still no words or patterns emerged. However, the books remained intact."
"So he threw the book away?"
Shang Mengyu said with some surprise.
Linzhi also nodded in agreement.
If it were me, I would not throw it away even if I didn’t find any great use for it at the first sight.
Mr. Li smiled helplessly: "Young people just like to throw things around."
"But luckily I picked it up, and now it's just right for accounting, and I don't have to worry about it getting damaged."
He looked back at the counter, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said busy but happy:
"I'll put the book here. You guys can read it first. I have to go make coffee quickly. I'm too busy."
He then hurried off, shouting, "Everyone, be patient! Today, all lattes, macchiatos, cappuccinos, and more are 40% off!"
…
"Idol, do you see anything special?"
Shang Mengyu took another book and flipped through a few pages casually. When she didn't find anything else, she turned her head to look at Lin Zhi.
Linzhi did not answer immediately, her eyelashes drooped slightly, and she looked very carefully.
After reading the cover, she opened the title page and read from top to bottom, stroking the paper with her fingertips from time to time.
【Master, I figured it out.】
As Lin Zhi looked at it carefully, Jin Jin suddenly spoke.
[I sensed a faint energy fluctuation from it. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a trace of the world's original power mixed in.]
Didn't the Heavenly Dao recover two clones a few days ago? I guess this must be His intervention.
"But 'He' hasn't fully recovered yet. Can he still interfere with the higher-dimensional game consciousness?"
Linzhi looked puzzled and asked in her heart.
[Of course,] Jin Jin said affirmatively, [The origin of this world itself is controlled by the way of heaven.
Even if the higher-dimensional game consciousness borrows part of it to create this game, it will not be truly recognized by the original consciousness.
The actual control is still in the hands of Heaven.
We can understand this as when His energy was insufficient, the Origin of the World gave up some authority to the higher-dimensional game consciousness, allowing it to temporarily manage this world for Him.
I didn't quite understand the twists and turns before, but since the Heavenly Dao has been recovering better and better, things that I didn't understand before seem to become clearer now.
The most important point is that we all believe that a higher-dimensional game controls this world, but in reality, the so-called "power given up" can be completely taken back the moment the Heavenly Dao returns.
[The current situation where players are leveling up faster, and even suddenly improving, is probably because when Tiandao retracted his clone, some of the world's original energy overflowed and was fed back to this world.]
"So, once the Heavenly Dao is fully restored, this energy will be taken back?"
Of course.
[High-dimensional games don't exist in this world itself. Everything is created because the intelligent beings in the middle plane control the origin of the world.]
[Once the Heavenly Dao is fully restored and the intelligent entities are expelled, this world will return to its original state. All skills, monsters, and other things that do not belong here will disappear, including the players' memories.]
Jin Jin thought for a moment and added:
[This can also be considered as the world's self-correction.]
"So, that intelligent being is actually a tool?"
【You can understand it this way.】
One more thing.
Jin Jin spoke in a serious tone:
[Master, you should know that due to the continuous increase in population and the massive destruction of the environment, the world's sustainable resources are becoming increasingly scarce. This will also lead to the complete extinction of all life on the blue planet within a few thousand years.
Rather than viewing the emergence of high-dimensional games as a form of intelligent beings' self-entertainment, it's more accurate to say that the origin of the world is reducing the number of living things in order to control them.
Eliminate the weak and leave the strong...
The more Lin Zhi listened, the more shocked she became.
Jin Jin paused and added:
[In fact, no matter which plane you are in, it is the law of the jungle. ]
So, all this is God's plan?
Before, she had always believed that the world had become so chaotic because of intelligent beings.
Let high-dimensional games come to the world and watch them compete for resources.
But now, after Jin Jin's analysis, Lin Zhi couldn't help but sigh: Heaven's chess game is really big.
She had always believed that He was trapped and that Blue Star was completely controlled by a high-dimensional gaming consciousness.
Unexpectedly, even that intelligent being was part of His play.
No wonder Tiandao doesn’t care about the rest of the people on Blue Star even though he has the ability to interfere in his own affairs.
Is it just because she doesn't belong here?
Or say.
In the eyes of Heaven, are she and He the same kind of people?
After all, they are all gods...
"So, I was used too?"
After a long while, Lin Zhi said with a somewhat cold look in her eyes.
Jin Jin was silent for a while, then said somewhat unhappily, "Yes."
If the Super Golden Finger System had not been stripped away, he would not have reacted so quickly.
On the surface, it allows the main god to obtain various good things, but in reality it is to make it easier for him to find his own clones and use their power to restore energy.
Lin Zhi didn't know how to react for a moment.
Angry, of course I'm angry.
But in the final analysis, Tiandao did nothing to harm her except using her to restore his own strength.
Even she received many benefits from Him.
Even if the Super Golden Finger system was stripped away, it still left Jin Jin with some functions that he could call upon.
Thinking about it this way, it seemed that she not only did not lose anything, but also gained powerful strength.
Although this power will be taken back after the Heavenly Dao is fully restored.
But she wasn't originally from this world.
Divine Realm, Revenge...
This is the kind of thing that only appears in novels.
It actually happened to me.
When I think about it, I’m looking forward to it.
…
Linzhi's emotions come and go quickly.
"Fortunately, I wasn't really angry."
Tiandao, who was in seclusion in the distance to recover his original power, secretly investigated and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I took the initiative to make friends with them when I first found them.
He even did not hesitate to separate his limited strength and condense his clones to create a "Super Golden Finger System" to help his growth.
God knows what he went through when the clone of the Golden Finger System returned to his body!
Who knew the other party was so powerful!
That little girl turned out to be the God of Creation!
He thought that she, accompanied by the Golden Crow, was just a goddess from the realm of gods.
I didn’t expect that the so-called goddess was just a clone of the other party!
The Golden Finger System shared some of Jin Jin's memories, so it directly gave Tian Dao a big shock.
"Hmm."
It turned out that Xiandao wanted them to help him find the remaining two clones.
But now, after learning Lin Zhi's true identity.
He didn't dare anymore.
I am only a small world in the three thousand planes of heaven, how dare I trouble the Creator God to personally intervene...
The golden dragon adjusted his beard, and with a whoosh, he turned into a streak of golden light and went down to the mortal world alone to look for the remaining clones.
…
Linzhi said a lot to Jinjin in her heart, but in reality only a few minutes had passed.
Shang Mengyu didn't wait for an answer. Seeing Linzhi staring at the blank pages with her eyes downcast, she thought she had thought of something and was studying it, so she didn't say anything to disturb her. She just sat beside her and sipped her coffee.
It wasn't until she saw Lin Zhi come to her senses that she asked, "How is it?"
"Upgrading faster isn't a bad thing, just let it happen naturally."
Lin Zhi thought about it, and then added half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Maybe in a few days, everyone will be a high-level player."
Shang Mengyu felt relieved.
Yao Bo on the other end of the chat channel was also relieved.
They wouldn't easily believe it if someone else said it, but if it was Linzhi who said it, they would believe it.
So a few days later.
The international forum exploded again.
The cause is this——
Because of the previous agreement in the special secret realm, several countries that are friendly with the Dragon Kingdom, such as the Baba Sheep Kingdom and the Bear Kingdom, have sent some people to participate in the secret realm within the Dragon Kingdom.
Then they discovered that the overall strength of the Dragon Country players had increased several times compared to when they had seen them before.
"What? Brother Yao, have you already awakened your second profession?"
In the secret realm, Ariel Hassan, who had a clear and foolish face, was shocked after hearing the discussion of the Dragon Country players next to him.
Andre and Andrew, who also understood Chinese, were also filled with disbelief.
The people standing in front of them were all familiar faces, and they had added each other's contact information when they parted.
So everyone knows each other's level after going through survival mode.
But who can tell them.
Why did this group of people suddenly increase their levels by nearly 10 levels after just a dozen days of no contact?!
Everyone knows.
The higher the level, the more difficult it is to upgrade.
Even if you kill monsters every day, it will take a long time for high-level players to level up by one level.
After all, it has been several years since the high-dimensional game came into being, and they are only at level 60 or 70.
But these people...
Especially the Dragon Nation players who were originally only around level 40, and could only act in groups and follow behind Lin Zhi, have now grown into strong players who can stand on their own!
All of them are above level 60.
"Have you been grinding secret realms?"
Andrea thought about it and it seemed that this was the only possibility left.
He naturally didn't know that this was Heaven's favor to the Dragon Kingdom.
The energy overflowing from the origin of the world was absorbed by the players of Dragon Country.
That's why they can instantly upgrade their levels at rocket speed.
In fact, the players in Dragon Country are also quite confused.
He nodded and shook his head after hearing the voice.
"I don't know, it seems to have escalated suddenly."
"Yeah, one time I ate too much and my stomach felt uncomfortable, so I went out for a run, and as I was running, I leveled up."
"Eh? Didn't you notice that leveling up has become easier? I thought everyone knew that."
The players from Baba Sheep Country and Bear Country exchanged glances and shouted in unison, "We suspect you're in Versailles, and we have evidence!"
As a result, the entry "Shock! Dragon Country players are suspected of cheating as a whole" suddenly appeared in the international game forum.
Later, it surpassed the post about the five-clawed golden dragon which originally had a popularity of 66666666 with a crushing momentum, and directly ranked first with a popularity of 88888888.
