Gu Li is a man of real ability. Not only has he accumulated knowledge, but he has also taught classes and described his ideas vividly.
"The level of strength shown to us by the mastermind in the garden is much higher than that outside. Especially in terms of technology... We have actually lost a lot of technological things, or in other words, technical capabilities? Even if we don't take into account the things that appear in the Four Seasons Garden Advanced props and many things recorded in history are beyond our ability to apply.”
He rubbed his hands a little awkwardly.
"I once paid some people to go to the countryside to explore. Of course, this caused a lot of losses... but I also brought back some samples I needed. I conducted geological and historical analysis on them, combined with what we have here I tried to find out the location of our city based on an ancient map. After all, there is something that has been bothering me: Although I can get a lot of knowledge about the world from books, my parents and I But I have always lived in this small city and have never seen the outside world with my own eyes."
"This is why you have such leisure." Mao You curled his lips, "We are working hard every day just to survive."
"Some people pursue food and clothing, while those who have food and clothing pursue spiritual satisfaction. Isn't this a normal social phenomenon?" Gu Li took this matter of course, "After such research, I found that it is difficult to find a perfect match for that era. The geographical environment cannot be found in history similar to the environment around us."
"You want to say that the outside world is not..."
"That's not true. There is no need to doubt the authenticity. The outside world is the real world for us. After that, my research direction became the transformation of the world. There is no doubt that some historical events still have an impact. The outside world, such as the sky after the white night, and some of the habits and traditions we have inherited. However, the faults in history prevent me from measuring how long has passed between the end of the war era and the establishment of the mastermind, and what happened..."
"Until you entered the garden?"
"This is the purpose of my coming here. I want to know the truth." Gu Li opened his hand, "Then the only way is to seek an explanation from the mastermind. I have carefully checked the descriptions of the props. In fact, the props above level three have exceeded The technological limits of the outside world, as for Level 5, are things that only exist in fantasy. But you have indeed used these props, and here is the evidence. I have to think about why the mastermind wants to use such powerful props. People outside are trapped in a small city like that?"
"Because it's necessary," Samuanna said.
"That's right!" Gu Li clapped his hands excitedly, "It's just because of necessity! The mastermind needs such a balanced state to be formed, and it will not be broken for a long time. The crises of attacking the city wall in the suburbs were finally resolved, although it seemed dangerous. It’s dangerous, but it should be within the mastermind’s calculation! Thinking of this, I need to find a reason—and the reason is right here!”
Four Seasons Garden.
"There must be many places like this. The mastermind uses the outside world to cultivate people with unique characteristics, and then places them in such places to create specific environments to simulate something. This is a testing ground, Dr. Rawls's testing ground , what about other things? Is it the exact same four-season garden, or is it verifying other issues? I have no way of knowing, but if this guess is correct, it is not difficult to figure out the ultimate purpose of this experiment..."
"True adaptive human beings." Lu Ning expressed her thoughts.
"It's a 'crowd', or to put it further, a population."
"What? Could it be that everyone who successfully leaves here..." Maoyou was shocked.
"What are you thinking? Since the save point can directly copy a life, then the master brain only needs to copy a bunch of those outstanding individuals to form a group. No...even..." Lu Ning's thinking began to diverge, "All It doesn’t have to be an excellent individual, as long as you pick out excellent ‘talents’…”
Gu Li quickly waved his hand: "Listen to me, this is not easy. After all, humans are very delicate things, so countless desperate experiments are needed to measure which ones can go together. But these are just evidence! What do we want to prove? What’s going on outside! At first, I thought the mastermind wanted to form an army that could clean up the suburbs, but now I basically understand...the monsters in the suburbs are really out of character.”
"But survival in the suburbs is very difficult." Lu Ning said.
"Because the monsters are just strong, but have no characteristics. Recall the crisis monsters released here. Those are the ones that truly fit the name of monsters. Are all these things that appeared in history gone now? No... it should be It’s still there.”
Where?
Lu Ning slowly exhaled.
"Outside, right?"
"Yes." Gu Li touched the stubble growing on his chin, "Although I can't verify it, only by thinking this way can I put my strange investigation results together. So the blank history... In fact, it wasn’t long, or rather, it didn’t pass.”
Lu Ning roughly understood, but she listened to Gu Li continue to talk.
"In the chaos after the White Night, war became more and more destructive with the improvement of science and technology, and the monsters that spawned became more powerful, and the chaos gradually became uncontrollable. At this time, the proposal that was proposed back then Among the weapon categories, the top S-class weapons have finally been developed."
Once a weapon is developed, it is difficult not to be put into the battlefield in that environment.
Lu Ning recalled the description of S-class weapons: cleanse the world, reset civilization, and let everything start again.
"We have no way of knowing its appearance, power, and what happens when it is released, but we may think that the name of this weapon is 'Mastermind'."
The Mastermind cleansed everything in existence, then retained all the history that had happened, and began to reconstruct people who could come to the world to live again. The outside world that everyone knows now should actually be in the process of being formed within the master mind, and the Four Seasons Garden has entered the screening stage.
"This is an insignificant part of the process of re-creating the world." Although he said this, Gu Li looked extremely excited, "Think about it, the master brain can control time, control life and death, and even arrange cause and effect. We have been internally responsible for countless generations. The inheritance selects people who are good enough to live a new life in the outside world, and the outside world may only be a blink of an eye."
Samuanna pulled Lu Ning's car.
"how?"
"Although it sounds exciting, if you think about it carefully... this seems to be a biological generation selection method? And how much does this have to do with our actual survival?"
Gu Li's story was good, but few people were really moved by him. Samiana was still most concerned about the current situation, and knowing what was going on outside was of little use to her.
But Lu Ning doesn't think so.
"There is still a slight difference."
"Huh? Where can I find help?"
"What he said is probably right, but there is still an untouched part, which is the social situation of the mastermind itself. Think about it, Dr. Rawls, the real person in charge of the Four Seasons Garden, then Shi Ming, the three people who were thrown into What should be the identity of the mastermind who comes in? He can carry out the final cleanup operation in Dr. Rawls's experiment, either as a deputy, or as a person with much higher authority than Dr. Rawls. "
"The identities given to tourists in distribution centers have always been restricted, and that should be the first one."
"Shan Lianmei and Duan Yunxiu are probably the first type." A smile slowly appeared on Lu Ning's lips, "Shi Ming is the second type."
"why are you laughing?"
"It's nothing, I seem to understand... Lewanska met Duan Yunxiu in the scene at the distribution center, and Shan Lianmei and Shi Ming were introduced by Duan Yunxiu..."
"What do you understand?" Samiana stared at her.
=================
"Do we need to continue?"
In a purple subspace, Shan Ningmei peered through a small hole to see the outside world. Duan Yunxiu was doing the same thing not far away, while Shi Ming stood in the middle doing nothing.
"No."
"That Gu Li is very powerful. Is he really just a character in the scene?"
"The mission prompts say not to underestimate NPCs. If they can protect more people, they can still find a few talents. But it's okay now. A person who can reveal the background of the world will survive better than those who can fight or strategy. .”
"You seem very satisfied." Duan Yunxiu said.
"Ah... I was originally more interested in Cheng Wuling and Lewanska. After all, their thinking about the general environment and their understanding of the world background were quite complete from the beginning. With a little guidance, they can see more." Shi Ming shook his head, "But Lewanska cares too much about his team and regards improving his teammates as more important. I'm afraid he will only think of anything when he thinks about reviewing this game. And Cheng Wuling Although she has a basic understanding of the background, her... utilitarianism is a bit too strong. This mentality is a powerful driving force for growth before the fourth level, but it is not enough for people to break through the fourth level barrier."
"What on earth is that?" Shan frowned and turned around to ask Shi Ming, "You, there are many high-level sources saying that the fourth level is a hurdle, and we must get through it as soon as possible, and we must also work hard at the third level. Basics. But I don’t want to go into details.”
"Because it will be worse if you say it. There is a saying we like to use to teach third-level people..."
"Ah, fourth-level tourists are already eligible to be looked after a little bit by the distribution center."
"That's it." Shi Ming snapped his fingers, "If you can understand one or two, you may be able to be mentally prepared, but it's actually better if you don't understand it. In fact, the best state to deal with the fourth level is to be strong and have a perfect mind. Jiayou knows nothing about the fourth level."
"This person sounds so conflicted." Duan Yunxiu commented.
"But there is one right in front of you."
"Her?" Shan frowned and pointed outside in surprise, "But when it comes to force and wisdom..."
"Wen Wu is first, Wu Wu is second. If you rank her martial arts and say she is not strong, there is no problem, but when it comes to wisdom, everyone is different." Shi Ming chuckled, "And Shan Guan has been promoted to the fifth level and passed the final test. On the road to resurrection, she is now ahead of everyone in this scene."
"I don't understand."
"So she walks in front of you."
Duan Yunxiu suddenly asked: "Including you?"
"The simple answer is: yes." Shi Ming nodded, "After all, I have no place to go back to."
=================
Rosa's treatment was over, and she looked the same as before. The quack doctor even proudly took out a notebook and wrote to himself: "Rapid recovery surgery for severe burns all over the body, eleven minutes and forty-seven seconds, I I have refreshed my own record again, and it turns out that the upper limit of genius is something that does not exist.”
"How do you feel physically?" Lu Ning asked Rosa first.
"Full of energy." Rosa clenched her fist and punched the wall with her side hand. There was a muffled sound, and everyone even felt that the room shook.
"I said there would be no problem! It seems that you are also very satisfied, so see you next time?" The quack doctor walked backwards out of the door with a smile, and then disappeared quickly.
"Why is she running so fast?" Mao You looked suspicious.
"I have a way to challenge him, but he is afraid that I will send him out early."
"Old and cunning..."
Lu Ning left Mao You to mutter, reminding Rosa to check her situation more. After all, a neurosurgery doctor like the quack has no idea what tricks he will perform during the operation, so it is better to be more safe.
And after saying this, Rosa also noticed changes in herself.
"The explosive power is very strong. It can even be compared with the potion I took before. If I enter the mad state now, I can fight with Mingjing."
"Really? This is a good thing." Naim frowned.
"But it seems that the muscle tolerance has deteriorated, which means that the burst time may only be tens of seconds or shorter. It cannot be said to be a bad thing, nor can it be said to be a good thing."
Rosa twisted her arms and stood up: "I haven't found anything else yet, but it's okay. If the current battle cannot be resolved within a minute, it probably really cannot be resolved. Worrying about this will only increase your worries."
The person involved said they didn't care much, and Lu Ning could only ask her to pay attention to her physical condition. Then everyone left the room and started the original plan to increase the crisis points.
With their current equipment and props, there is no pressure for most of the leaders to fight alone. In addition, the group of people who initiated the crisis also understand the time difference issue. Basically, there are only three crises that everyone needs to deal with at the same time, so the pressure is not very great.
With less than two hours left before the fifth crisis, Lu Ning finally gathered thirty stars. She took out the key without thinking too much. It was a white key card that could be stored in Instruments, like props, are individually bound.
The introduction is very simple [life].
After going around in a circle, Lu Ning took Mao You back to Courtyard No. 2 of the Winter Garden, a place that had experienced countless battles. The two quickly found the weather switch in the courtyard.
"Get ready." Lu Ning pointed at the switch and said to Mao You.
