The firelight flickered, and Su Jie sat on the floor of the altar, her eyes still a little confused.
The torch in front of her was flashing with scenes, and if she looked carefully, they were all her experiences in the mission world.
Turning to look at the other sectors, only four of the original eight torches were still on. Except for herself, Gu Shushu and Tong Fei also returned safely, and the torches on their heads also flashed scenes of adventure in the valley.
In the farthest sector, there was a tall man standing.
"Zhang Lang..." Su Jie read out his name with some uncertainty. After hearing this, Zhang Lang turned around and nodded to her.
Su Jie looked up at Zhang Lang's torch. The experience flashing on it was completely different from other people's.
There was no nightmare valley or forest hut. The background of that experience seemed to be a dim world made of steel and machinery. In it, Zhang Lang fought crazily with countless mechanical monsters, destroying strongholds one after another, and finally came to a In front of a huge core.
The core was similar to the huge brain with mechanical parts she saw last, but it was larger and more complex. Zhang Lang seemed to be communicating with the huge mastermind core, and this was the last fragment of his flashes.
After reading Zhang Lang's experience, Su Jie realized that her own and other people's experiences had already been played, and they had all received an altar rating.

…………
Looking at the score description, all three of them have completed the main and side tasks. Among them, Gu Shushu has awakened magic and killed the most monsters. He even accumulated enough 1,000 points to be able to draw a reward!
"What do you mean by 'really gaining superpowers'?" Gu Shushu didn't seem to be satisfied with the evaluation. She raised her hand and tried to cast magic, but here, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get the slightest spark...
"Don't you understand yet..." Tong Fei sighed: "Your abilities, including the world where the valley is located, are all 'false'. All the answers should be in his experience."
Tong Fei looked at the top of Zhang Lang's head. At this time, his score had been calculated.
Main mission score: 300 points
Side mission score: 500 points
Hidden mission score: 1200 points
Monster kill score: 56820 points

One sentence comment: The mastermind should be glad that you are in a hurry this time...
Although it was the first time to perform a mission and had no idea about normal scoring, the huge contrast between Zhang Lang's score and others was enough to shock the three newcomers.
"A little more than normal people?" Tong Fei sighed: "There must be a limit to modesty..."
"Now, can you explain what's going on?" Su Jie stepped forward, not seeming to be very interested in the score: "Why is your experience completely different from ours, as well as the nightmare valley, and the final appearance? What’s the relationship between the countless test tubes?”
"Before that, let's take the reward first..." Zhang Lang looked at Gu Shushu, "Not many can get a thousand points on the first mission."
Gu Shushu nodded, followed Zhang Lang's instructions, came to the central torch, and began to draw the rewards this time.
Along with a burst of pleasant music, the reward is presented.
Strengthening type: blood strengthening
Rarity: Rare
Reward Name: Flame Witch
Description: Only for women, it transforms the body structure and activates energy attributes, so that the reincarnator has extremely strong ability to accumulate and control fire element energy. The ability will become stronger and stronger as the reincarnator grows and uses it, and is compatible with most learning methods. Fire spells.
Note: Want to chat with me? You better be fireproof!
…………
This enhancement made Zhang Lang's eyes light up. It has to be said that Gu Shushu's luck is quite good. He can obtain the rare level with the first draw... No, judging from the description, this ability is considered powerful even in the rare level.
First of all, this is obviously an enhancement of energy attributes. Each person can only control one energy attribute, which determines the strength of the energy attributes and basically establishes the future development direction of this reincarnation.
Energy attributes are also divided into three, six or nine levels. This is not determined by the nature of the attribute, but by the rarity.
For example, the enhancement of the same fire magic type should also be divided into ordinary, rare, rare, and even unique.
According to Zhang Lang's experience, in the description of energy attributes, the ordinary level is usually said to have "weak" energy control ability, the rare level basically does not have a prefix, the rare level is generally "powerful", and Gu Shushu's enhanced ability The "extremely strong" description is usually a unique wording!
However, seeing that there is a female-only condition at the front, it is probably a performance improvement to balance the audience restrictions.
Regardless, this is a perfect start.
Gu Shushu was obviously very satisfied with this enhancement and immediately chose to accept it. After a period of painful and joyful body transformation, the sweaty girl raised her hand, and a dazzling flame appeared in her palm again...
"I just said that the spell I awakened will not be lost!"
Seeing this scene, Tong Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly. As smart as he was, he had roughly guessed the principle of this mission. In his judgment, Gu Shushu was able to get this enhancement only because of good luck...
As for Zhang Lang, because of his ability to save and collect points, he still has to save his points, so there is no reward to draw.
After guiding the newcomers to add the attribute points given by the mission, Zhang Lang finally began to answer their doubts.
"You should be very curious about why I started to fall asleep after entering the mission, why the experience I displayed was different from yours, and why at the end of the mission, there was a completely different scene from before..."
"The root cause of all this is because Nightmare Valley is a nightmare in itself!"
"Nightmare?" Su Jie and Gu Shushu were a little surprised, but Tong Fei had already made a judgment and nodded.
"Actually, the background of the mission world we went to this time was that a war broke out between humans and artificial intelligence. In the end, humans failed and were imprisoned in test tubes by artificial intelligence. They used the computing power of the human brain to maintain the operation of the mechanical empire. In order to make humans willing At work, artificial intelligence connects everyone’s consciousness and creates an illusory world, making them think that they are still living in a beautiful era dominated by humans.”
"To put it simply, it can be understood that people all over the world are dreaming the same dream. Artificial intelligence calls it a sweet dream."
"The brain in the vat..." Gu Shushu quickly understood, and then showed an excited expression: "It's so exciting!"
Zhang Lang continued: "But there are always some human beings who can vaguely feel something even in their dreams. These people are hidden dangers that destroy beautiful dreams. Therefore, once discovered, the artificial intelligence mastermind will screen them out and use various reasonable methods to The plot is arranged to throw them into a certain scene, create monsters that should not exist in reality, and destroy them. This kind of scene is a nightmare."
"So, what does the name of Nightmare Valley mean?" Tong Fei touched his chin and analyzed: "The background of our entering the world is the object to be purged? So escaping from Nightmare Valley is essentially escaping from the purge of artificial intelligence? No wonder the value Five hundred points is so high!”
Zhang Lang nodded: "So your experience in the valley was actually a dream... This is why Gu Shushu can use super powers. After all, it is a dream. As long as your brain believes it, nothing will be surprising." As he said that, he looked at Gu Shushu: "But to be able to awaken such a strong ability so quickly, your brain circuit is indeed not normal."
"What, it turns out I'm not the chosen one..." Gu Shushu was a little disappointed, but seeing the abilities she had now, the girl excitedly started playing with the fireball in her hand.
"Then why are you unconscious?" Su Jie asked.
Zhang Lang knocked on his head: "Because the way we enter the world is to directly replace a human being in a test tube. Our body and brain need to be plugged in with various devices to connect to our dreams... My head is a little hard and I can't plug it in. , so I didn’t dream at all. The one in the Nightmare Valley was just an image created by the dream system for me, but without soul injection, it fell asleep by default."
Zhang Lang gave an explanation that is easier for newcomers to understand. In fact, the missions arranged by the altar give top priority to the transmission of reincarnations. No matter how high the attributes are, it will not cause any intubation in your brain when the mission is transmitted. Difficult matter. At most, reincarnators with extremely high water and wood attributes can instantly sense something is wrong and escape from the nightmare.
But Zhang Lang is different. Because of his ability to return to his original nature, if there is no void, he can even be immune to the summons and teleportation of the altar. All the effects of supernatural forces on his body can be blocked, and naturally he cannot connect to the sweet dream system.
"So you entered that world while you were awake?" Su Jie frowned: "Then how do you explain the glowing head at the end?"
"That's the backdoor I asked the mastermind to open for me in order to free you from your dream..."
"Please? Open the back door?" Su Jie was even more confused.
"It was the negotiation that just flashed through, right?" Tong Fei looked at Zhang Lang: "But looking at the previous battles, you spent a lot of effort to meet the mastermind."
Zhang Lang nodded: "Although we are all together in the nightmare, your bodies are scattered all over the world, and I can't find them. I can only find the source of the nightmare."
As he said that, he looked at the extinguished torches: "But, it seems that we didn't have time to save everyone."
"Don't blame yourself." Tong Fei recalled his own tragic situation in the nightmare: "We can come back alive, and we have to thank you."
Zhang Lang looked at Su Jie: "It's okay. At least the one I wanted to save has been rescued..."
Su Jie's face turned slightly red and she lowered her head.
After telling the story, Zhang Lang looked at Tong Fei: "I have answered your questions, and now it's your turn."
"Even in a dream, your reaching out is not normal."
Although from the actual ability point of view, Gu Shushu's magic effect is more exaggerated, but it is more caused by abnormal brain circuits of "psychiatric"... Gu Shushu was strengthened in the dream, but Tong Fei showed no such signs. The qualities he showed were definitely not what a newcomer should have!
Su Jie and Gu Shushu also looked at Tong Fei, they were equally curious about the boy's skills.
Tong Fei hesitated for a moment: "I said I have practiced martial arts, do you believe it?"
Zhang Lang looked into his eyes, paused for two seconds and then snorted: "If you don't want to say it, forget it. As long as you can protect your teammates, being strong is not a sin."
Having said this, Zhang Lang looked at the time: "It's almost time to return to reality. I need to remind you before leaving."
"This time I entered this altar using special props to help my friends tide over the difficulties. I won't be with you on the next mission. If anything happens, you still need to solve it yourself. If you encounter any problems, you can come. Find me in reality.”
The three of them nodded when they heard this. Gu Shushu was particularly excited: "Do you know there are other reincarnations like this in our school... in the university town? I'm going to set up a Yunzhou university town reincarnation association. It will be very interesting!"
"No!" Zhang Lang warned: "Some reincarnations will do anything for profit. Except for trustworthy teammates, in reality it is best to hide one's identity, including mine. In addition, my identity in the altar My code name is Hunter, if we meet in the mission world in the future, please don’t call me by my real name.”
Zhang Lang's tone was very calm, but for some reason, there was a firmness that could not be refuted.
The three of them nodded, exchanged contact information with each other, and left the altar.
