That night,
The moon is like water.
After finally finishing the trivial matters at hand, Zhu Chongba couldn't help but rub his brows to relieve his fatigue.
The night was already deep, and the evening breeze blew through the window into the hall, bringing a bit of coolness and making him feel the comfort he had not seen for a long time.
He stood up involuntarily and walked outside the hall, looking up at the vast starry sky with a distant look.
He remembered many things, including the ghost disaster in his hometown a long time ago, his dead parents, the embarrassment when he woke up here, and the hardship when begging.
I even thought of the cruelty of the Yuan family, of my own resistance, and of the arduous steps I took to get to where I am today...
Looking back on the past, even he himself felt like he was in a dream.
However, just when he was feeling emotional about life, as far as he could see, the sky was dim, and there seemed to be a phantom of a god supporting the sky and the earth. He lowered his head slightly and looked at him.
At this moment, Zhu Chongba was confused. He felt that he was too tired and was hallucinating. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to rub his eyes.
But in front of him, the divine man was still there, even waving to him.
While he was wondering, he felt a boundless force grabbing him and dragging him to fly up, floating straight into the blue clouds.
At this moment, Zhu Chongba was frightened and uneasy, but he didn't show it at all on his face. He had lived and died so many times until today, and his character had already been tempered to be as tough as iron. At this moment, he was instinctively thinking. In the end what happened.
However, what he didn't know was that here, just as he was 'ascending', nine 'big stars' appeared between the sky and the earth, dragging gorgeous tail flames, piercing the sky like a parade, and penetrating the sky and the earth. Rise up into the sky.
At this moment, everyone who saw it seemed to have a whispering fairy voice echoing in their ears, telling everyone.
The Heavenly Court issued a pardon, Ziwei came to the world, the Human Emperor was about to emerge, and the world was unified.
…
Seeing the city and the mountains getting smaller and smaller, he crossed over the white clouds again, and suddenly paused, Zhu Chongba found that he had reached the sea of clouds.
There are a few more people around him, some of them are tall, majestic, or noble, but no matter who they are, they all have the kingly demeanor of "Who else would you rather me?"
Instinctively, he knew that the people in front of him were not easy to get along with, but before he could take a closer look, the god-man had already appeared in front of everyone.
This time, he finally saw clearly that the god-man was not an illusion, not a shadow, but a real person, standing in front of him like a giant pillar, with nine round lights behind him changing uncertainly, as if he could hear the piety of countless people. pray.
Just showing up, Zhu Chongba felt the urge to worship him. Out of character, when he wanted to bend his knees, he held them up with his hands.
Of course, what made him feel better was that the other people were not much better. They were all in a state of embarrassment, but no one really knelt down.
Seemingly satisfied with everyone's reaction, the god-man said: "My Heavenly Court wants to select a human emperor to unify all the southern continents. Nine of you are all candidates. Now we have set a test and selected the best. I hope you can seize the opportunity. "
These words were so straightforward that Zhu Chongba felt his heartbeat speed up instantly. He took a step forward and was about to ask something, but saw the man of god stretched out his hand again, and nine rays of light were imprinted between their eyebrows.
Then a massive amount of information surged in, making him dizzy and his vision went dark. When he opened his eyes again, the world had changed.
…
early morning.
Birds fluttered on the branches, and their chirping sounds reached my ears.
Zhu Chongba suddenly opened his eyes and found that he was still standing outside the palace, at the highest point of the entire city.
Looking down from this angle, he could see the busy servants coming and going, and he could see the high-ranking officials in purple robes hurriedly walking in, preparing to go to court.
Further away, across the palace wall, there are pedestrians coming and going, porters making a living, shops open to welcome customers, and hawkers selling goods along the street.
Everything is the same as what he saw when he stood here in the past, real and true.
But he knew that this was not his city, at least not in reality.
Because, in the lower right corner of his field of vision, a panel slowly unfolded, and he could see clearly the corners invisible to outsiders.
Name: Zhu Chongba
Identity: Fengyang City Lord
Realm: Martial Arts Level 7
Status: Overlord of one place, controlling four cities
Merit: 1000 (initial)
Shop: None
He went through a few items and briefly explained his current situation, but the magic person poured into his mind far more information than this.
He already knows that this is a 'false' world. Although it looks like the outside world, the city here, the people here, and the mountains and rivers here are all fake.
The man of God called this a 'test', a game called 'Human-Emperor Contest'.
The nine candidates for the Human Emperor have to do roughly two things, one is to develop themselves, and the other is to compete for world supremacy. The one who reaches the end will ascend to the position of the Human Emperor.
Please note that 'ascending the position of emperor' here is not only in the game, but also in reality!
Of course, because it simulates reality, many things are copied from reality. The function of the panel is more of a feedback. The only surreal thing is the 'shop'!
When you open the shop, there aren't many things you can buy. At least there aren't any otherworldly magic weapons or elixirs that can destroy the balance.
There are only books in this shop, and only knowledge is sold, which can be divided into two categories: "Wen Tao" and "Wu Lue".
Zhu Chongba first clicked on 'Martial Arts' and found that it was full of books with portraits. When he took a closer look at the content, his eyes almost bulged out.
Because, there are ordinary martial arts in it, such as "Essences of Fists and Feet", "Introduction to Sword Techniques", "Inner Breath Pregnancy", "Eighteen Kinds of Weapons Quickly" and so on...
There are also battle formations, such as "The Art of War by Sun Tzu", "Yue Wu's Legacy Book", "New Book of Ji Xiao", "Arrangement of Troops and Formations", "Zhuge Qimen" and so on.
Of course, these are not enough to make Zhu Chongba unable to maintain his composure. What really makes him unable to remain calm is that there are also "A Brief Introduction to the Ninth Grade of Martial Arts", "Introduction to Immortal Dao", "Alchemy Summary", and "Formation". "Encyclopedia", "Introduction to Talisman and Seal Script", and "Beginner's Learning to Refining Weapons"...
At the end, he even saw the Thirty-six Heavenly Powers and the Seventy-two Earthly Evil Techniques. Even the avatars were all gray. He was not even qualified to read the introduction.
But this does not prevent him from thinking!
These are not things that the mortal world should have.
These are the techniques practiced by the high-ranking immortal martial saint, and now, as long as he has enough merit, he can buy them.
Even if it was just knowledge, it still opened a door to the sky for him.
It took Zhu Chongba a long time to calm down and then clicked on the 'Wen Tao' item.
Some of the books here are understandable to him, such as "First Understanding of Letters", "Introduction to Arithmetic", "Basics of Geometry", "Geographical Atlas" and other basic books.
But there are more things he can't understand, such as "Mechanics", "Statistics", "Probability", "Calculus", "Humanities and Geography", "The Wealth of Nations", "Ma Philosopher's Theory", etc...
All of these, just looking at the name can make people blind, but comparing the merits required, Zhu Chongba suddenly found that the books in it were not cheaper than those of the immortal methods.
Obviously, this already represents the value of these books!
Of course, regardless of the value, he can't afford it now because it doesn't have enough merit!
In fact, with his 1,000 initial merit, he could only choose a high-value one from 'Wen Tao' or 'Martial Strategy', or choose a few basic ones.
As for how to obtain merit?
Naturally, you have to develop your own territory, or win foreign wars and gain territory.
After much thought, Zhu Chongba did not make a hasty decision. He closed the panel and listened to the bell ringing.
After straightening his clothes, he strode towards the main hall, where the courtiers were already waiting for him.
He is going to start his new journey!
…
Taixu Tianwai.
Where fantasy and reality meet.
The upright god finally showed a smile. In his field of vision, the nine candidates for the Human Emperor were also busy.
Now is the beginning of the game, so naturally there is no war. Therefore, they are now getting familiar with their city and people, and are also looking for a way to develop.
To be honest, those who can kill out of millions of people and become the regional hegemon are actually the best among men. It is not difficult to choose one to be the human king.
But Mo Chengjun still developed the game "Human Emperor Clash". Its purpose was not only to select the Human Emperor, but also a large-scale experiment.
Today, the world of fantasy magic has a complete system, but is it mature?
Haha, where is this?
How could the virtual world have so little potential and so little effect?
This time, it is a fact that the Human Emperor will be elected, but Mo Chengjun is also looking for a breakthrough.
For example, the 'Game Panel' is an attempt. If it works well, it can be equipped with one for everyone who enters Taixu Tian in the future. It can provide intuitive feedback on one's personal strength and even the assets one owns.
With this, Taixutian's transactions are much simpler and more convenient, and the concept of 'digital currency' can be fully realized. There is no need for Jingyindian certification, and on-site transactions are simple and convenient.
Mo Chengjun even thought about whether to use 'merit' to replace the current 'contribution point' system. After all, merit is real and has the effect of promoting personal cultivation. As a general equivalent, it is better than spiritual stones and gold. are more suitable.
For another example, the 'Knowledge Mall' is also an attempt. It is his exploration of another way to learn and disseminate knowledge. When used with the 'Jade Slips', you can learn faster and more effectively, and complete the knowledge reserve.
Of course, he also wanted to use this method to expand the vision and knowledge of the nine human emperor candidates, so as to transcend the limitations of the times and better develop his territory.
After all, the last Human Emperor wants to rule the entire Nanzhan continent, and when he returns to reality, he will still count on them to build the cave.
Finally, the game itself is an experiment.
Before, the sect had been thinking about building a 'Monk Legion'. This person is easy to say. The main purpose is to fight the monk legion on a large scale. The specific model needs to be explored.
All the sect can think of now is to 'form a formation with people' and gather the power of everyone to have the possibility of challenging more powerful monks.
Once the formation is broken, it will basically be a random killing!
To be honest, this method is quite impressive, but if you want to explore it, it won't work in reality. After all, a lot of people will die in a real war.
So Mo Chengjun wanted to conduct simulation drills in 'Taixu Tian' to find a more suitable battle formation method.
The game is just beginning now, and there will inevitably be a series of wars in the later stages. Although Mo Chengjun is not prepared to raise the force value to the level of the real world, these are basic information.
When the Human-Emperor Contest is over, he can use this as a basis to allow the sect's major cultivators to enter and seek better ways to fight the monk army.
Thanks to Kong Guanggu for the 500 reward, thanks to Xinnan for the 500 reward, and thanks to the readers for the reward!
