Although the DIE virus vaccine has achieved a breakthrough in the game, even Du Qing, who is in charge of this research, probably does not think that these people in the game are really more professional and outstanding than the researchers in the Hope Star Base.
After all, their final results were not only based on the research of their predecessors, but also influenced by many unexpected factors.
So after Bai Ting sent the vaccine information over, under the leadership of Dean Zhou Hong, the first batch of vaccines was produced in a very short time, just in time for Li Bai to return.
Normally, these vaccines still needed to undergo clinical testing before they could be officially deployed. While the newly infected could wait, the lunar base didn't have that much time. If possible, Li Bai hoped Yang Jia could use a vaccine without any hidden dangers, even one that could preserve the evolutionary effects. However, reality clearly didn't allow that, so he could only wait until she woke up.
So in the end, at Li Bai's strong request, Zhou Hong agreed to give her a batch of vaccines.
Li Bai took enough vaccines according to the number of people in the freezing base, and then boarded the spacecraft and headed for the moon.
This time, she not only needed to wake Yang Jia, but also retrieve the other infected individuals. Not to mention that these individuals were invaluable research talents who would be of great use in the future. If she only woke Yang Jia, it would inevitably be too conspicuous. If so many people woke up at once, Li Bai would have the opportunity to manipulate the situation.
Although everything was ready and just waiting for him to implement it, Li Bai was unusually restless on the spacecraft returning to the moon.
Bai Ting, who had never seen her like this before, watched from the side and couldn't help muttering in her heart.
Even though it had been a long time, she still felt that the fact that Li Bai and Yang Jia were together didn't seem real. After all, although these two people were always together, their behavior didn't seem overly intimate, otherwise even she, who often interacted with them, wouldn't have missed it.
Now that she saw Li Bai's completely abnormal behavior, she felt that this matter was somewhat true.
So she didn't bother to offer any comfort. Even the best of friends couldn't help with matters of the heart. She felt that Li Bai's behavior wasn't so much a worry about the risks of this trip as it was a nagging sense of unease about meeting Yang Jia.
It was during this return that Li Bai, needing help with something he was about to do, revealed everything to her. It was then that Bai Ting realized Yang Jia's identity was so bizarre. They had previously speculated privately, believing Li Bai and Yang Jia must have been in contact in real life. Now, it seemed they were simply dating online.
However, she wasn't surprised by this. After all, she wasn't a researcher in this field, and wasn't interested in whether a person's brain waves could continue to be active in a holographic game while they were asleep. Instead, she thought Yang Jia was unique and a good match for Li Bai.
They returned to the lunar base with their own thoughts. Li Bai did not rush to find Yang Jia, but first took Bai Ting to find a place and logged into the game.
This incident was undoubtedly going to be very serious, so Yang Jia had to be informed first. Otherwise, if she was injected with the vaccine and her consciousness remained in the game, something might go wrong.
Besides, Bai Ting had mentioned before that the game world wasn't peaceful at the moment, and that a fight might break out at any moment. Li Bai had been worried, so he naturally wanted to check it out when he returned. If he could use this opportunity to intimidate others, that would be even better.
…
Her worries were not unnecessary, because the fighting had already started in the game.
After chatting with Xuan Zijie for a while, Yang Jia estimated that Bai Ting's itinerary should have reached Hope Star, so he handed him the vaccine information. Thus, although the Nirvana Guild was the culprit in the entire incident, because it had a strong enough ally, the other guilds, although ready to make a move, did not act rashly.
But both sides were mobilizing supplies and preparing for the next war.
If we look at it from a geographical perspective alone, the eight previously divided territories formed a very delicate balance.
Because her other two allies, plus the Spark Guild, which had long since merged with her, formed a line of territories that split the other four guilds in two: the Prosperous Era Guild on one side, and the Horseshoe Guild, the Thunder Guild, and the Dawn Guild on the other. Conversely, these three guilds also split Yang Jia's alliance in two, leaving the Nirvana Guild on one side.
In the middle area, a three-on-three fight is definitely impossible.
Even if everyone is not yet at the stage of sincere cooperation, as long as we send troops to harass them, we can form an effective containment. When the difference in strength between the two sides is not big, it will naturally not be so easy to fight.
As for the Shengshi Guild and Nirvana Guild, which were separated separately, the other three neighboring guilds would like to take them over, but they have to be on guard against being stabbed in the back.
Logically speaking, under such circumstances, the stalemate would inevitably continue for a long time, with minor frictions arising between the two sides before erupting at an opportune moment. Wars throughout history have generally been like this, rarely erupting with such force.
But no one knew what went wrong. The minor friction between the Dawn Guild and the Nirvana Guild suddenly escalated into a major incident. In the end, it could not be contained and a fight soon broke out.
Not only did the members of the two guilds not anticipate this, but the rest of the group was also surprised. After all, many people viewed the Dawn Guild and the Nirvana Guild as a single Li family faction split in half. It was simply that something had gone wrong, and the Nirvana Guild had simply stopped complying. Regardless, there was still some ties of kinship, as many Nirvana Guild members were members of the Li family's military.
But perhaps it is for this reason that when the two sides start fighting, the others, while happy to watch the joke, will also not hesitate to help. After all, if they fight until both sides are defeated, the remaining people will be the ones to clean up the mess!
The conflict took place between Bailu City and Huangli City.
Speaking of which, Oriole City holds extraordinary strategic significance for both guilds. Now that the Dawn Guild controls it, working with the neighboring Jackdaw City, they can completely contain Egret City and cut off Phoenix City's support. If the Nirvana Guild can seize it, it will directly sever the Dawn Guild's ties with the other cities, allowing them to easily take over the area in between.
So, back when he was still a free agent in Huangli City, Yang Jia tried to win him over. Unfortunately, the city lord chose the Dawn Guild.
Unexpectedly, the war finally broke out from here.
Compared to reality, the development of this game world is somewhat distorted. Set eight hundred years in the past, technology is undoubtedly very backward. Furthermore, each city is isolated, so naturally, there are no airplanes, as underground tunnels completely replace them. As for war, it's even more non-existent. So, while there are firearms here, generally speaking, they're still at the stage of low-powered firearms.
However, since knowing that the invisible barrier will disappear one day, every force has probably begun to secretly study these things.
For example, when the Nirvana Guild began expanding its territory, Yang Jia directly assigned this task to Feng Qingxuan, assigning this exceptional talent the responsibility of developing powerful weaponry. He also had Qin Yan provide her with a team of researchers. Nirvana Guild had always been ahead of other guilds in recruiting talent, so naturally, there were people responsible for other aspects as well.
With sufficient supplies and mature theories and various achievements already existing in reality, all we have to do in the game is copy these things, and progress will naturally be fast.
When Li Bai came online, Yang Jia was checking out the new results Feng Qingxuan had brought out. Such destructive research naturally required a base outside the city, so she wasn't at the City Lord's Mansion, where Li Bai had logged off before.
She and Li Bai clearly didn't see eye to eye on this matter. So when her personal terminal rang, Yang Jia was stunned for a moment when she saw the name on it, and then she realized that it was Li Bai who was online.
So, Hope Star is safe now?
Yang Jia signaled the others to wait, and when the communication was connected, he heard Li Bai say, "I'm back."
The meaning of this sentence is a bit difficult to understand... Yang Jia thought so and couldn't help but ponder it for a while. Li Bai had found opportunities to see her online before, but he had never said such words before. Obviously, something must have happened to change her mentality.
Thinking back to what he had asked Bai Ting to deliver, Yang Jia quickly came up with an answer. It seemed the researchers on Hope were quite capable and had already achieved some results.
So, Li Bai came here specifically to wake me up?
Is it time to truly wake up in reality, become a complete player, and immediately be able to see Li Bai in reality?
These thoughts raced through Yang Jia's mind, and she suddenly understood Li Bai's mindset. She herself seemed to be feeling a bit anxious. While these changes were still within her and Li Bai's control, they had no idea whether they could accept and adapt to them.
However, how can we know if we can succeed if we don’t walk the road ahead?
Yang Jia lowered her head and smiled, "Welcome back."
