"There is always a lot of injustice in this world."
In a luxurious villa in Hualan City in the real world, Xu Liangyu, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window sill overlooking the outside world, pretended to sigh deeply: "Although everyone wants to be treated fairly, everyone's ability and their behavior are not the same. There will always be differences, even if they do the same thing at the same time and in the same place, the results will be completely different."
"So in the end, some people can grab most of the benefits from this society, while others will sink in all kinds of situations and become victims of elimination." When he said this, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes. In the light of the world, the smile that was about to overflow suddenly turned into an impermanent scowl at the next moment: "It should be like this! It should be like this! But why am I still here? Shouldn't I be the 'Chosen One'? '?"
"It's just that I missed a few battles, it's no big deal." A man in a white coat, who was busy in front of the screen of precision equipment in the back of the villa, responded to his words unhurriedly: "Today's freedom The Wings are already in your possession, right? Even if you are away for a few days, those guilds where you have already placed countless of your own people will not be able to cause any trouble."
"In order to ensure a minimum level of fairness, I still vacated a few less important positions and gave them to so-called outsiders." Xu Liangyu replied with a look of displeasure on his face: "For example, the defense commander of Fenghua Town... tsk "Originally, I thought that place was the hinterland of the Magic Empire and would not be affected at all, so it wouldn't be that important. But now I see the result——"
"The Fenghua Plain is still under the control of the Magic Empire, so what do you have to worry about?"
Interrupting Xu Liangyu's frustrated words, the busy young man in white coat sitting in the corner continued to operate the light screen as intensively as a drizzle: "Don't listen to those rumors on the Internet and those that are designed to attract attention. Gimmicks, don’t you know the authenticity of those things? The battle reports your subordinates gave you are the most reliable.”
"God knows whether they concealed the true situation because they took credit and passed the blame." He glanced disdainfully at the report that he had thrown on the table before, and Xu Liangyu's voice sounded much lower when he answered: "Don't ask me Why are you so suspicious? I have often done this before."
"Always have a villain's heart - ah no, it's a cautious heart, right?" The young man in white coat teased without raising his head: "Mr. 'Be cautious in everything', do you have any better ideas now?" ?”
"..." His face became darker silently, and Xu Liangyu held back his next sentence after a long while: "Why do you care so much? Just do your own thing."
"How was my problem solved?"
As he said these words, his eyes with his hands behind his hands gradually fell on the young man who was busy stacking instruments. A high-level game cabin located at the other end of these complex and precise instruments was also connected by countless connecting pipelines. Lying quietly amidst the chaotic sounds of electronic flashes intertwined: "The cause of the login problem has not been found yet?"
"The hardware residual data in the cabin still has a lot of forced impact phenomena. It should be that your connection port has been tampered with by an unknown reason, so it is like this." The young man in white coat replied nonchalantly: "Before, I I also explained the principle to you a little bit. It should be that your death in the free world was regarded as a real death by the system. The system determined that your character could no longer be resurrected, so it was excluded from the entire world."
"Is there something wrong with the identification of the optical brain?" Xu Liangyu's face was still full of doubts: "Based on my understanding of the optical brain technology of this century, this kind of error should be impossible."
"This is what I'm still checking, and it's what interests me the most." The young man in the white coat raised his head a little, revealing his decadent look with glasses and stubble on his face: "Interesting. Since the optical brain has made an error in character attribute recognition, it means that there is a possibility that the optical brain may mistake the player character for an in-game character..."
"I don't have much free time to accompany you to do research here." Xu Liangyu impatiently interrupted the other party's words as he picked up his hands: "I didn't lend you this villa that I got conveniently just to stay there all the time. I raise you here, can you do some business?"
"If you think I'm unreliable, I can leave immediately." The young man in white coat replied nonchalantly: "You were also the one who violated my instructions and insisted on taking off the safety module at first, and now you are the one who regrets and complains... …I have never served such a capricious customer.”
"It's not like you don't understand our professional world. Which of the current official professional players is not fighting in this way?" Xu Liangyu pointed out the floor-to-ceiling window and said loudly: "This has become the default unspoken rule in all of our hearts! Which one is not fighting in this way?" If a player doesn’t remove his safety lock, he will have no choice but to be beaten during the game!”
"Oh, really?" Looking back at the other party's loud speaking action with meaningful eyes, the man in white coat lowered his head again: "In that case, then so be it, if you can fix your account problem Okay, I will be responsible for rebuilding your security module."
"About the account issue, I may need to re-communicate with the alliance's senior management." Putting away his impatience, Xu Liangyu lowered his head and pondered with a gloomy face: "If the optical brain really has an 'abnormal' example that has not been seen in a century, I will Maybe there's a way to ask them to give me access to the optical brain, so I have a chance to—"
"Speaking of the word 'abnormal', I suddenly remembered something." The young man in white coat replied hoarsely: "The oscilloscope responsible for monitoring the working status of the optical brain seems to have once again discovered a signal that the optical brain is repairing abnormally. , time...probably not long ago."
"Not long ago? Approximately when was it?" Xu Liangyu opened his eyes and immediately asked: "Can you find out the source location of the signal?"
"If the oscilloscope had such a powerful tracking ability, it would have been handled by the optical brain a long time ago. Why would it be your turn to talk here?" The voice of the young man in white coat became unusually serious: "Don't do anything. The unnecessary things will destroy my monitoring and research, as for time——"
"About two hours ago."
He replied in a low voice.
"It happened to be when the battle just ended."
************************************
This inexplicably large-scale battle on the Fenghua Plain ended with such a result. Except for a few direct participants and the main commanders who were involved because of them, It seems that few players can fully describe the causes and consequences of this sudden battle. This result also caused countless war reporters and onlookers who followed later to be confused. External reports and online information were as diverse as Xu Liangyu and others mentioned before, which was more interesting. One of the more eye-catching and more convincing statements is the conclusion that "The Sky-Breaking Blade personally led the attack on the Magic Empire."
Players on the Restoration side who had fought near the Forest of Silence and heard the amplified leyline magic declaration came forward in twos and threes after the war to confirm this conclusion, which sounded somewhat fanciful.
"Bullshit, how could the Sky-Breaking Blade take action himself? Does he have the time and leisure to deal with such a trivial battle? If he really takes action, what will happen to those great magisters in the Magic Empire? Is there still a possibility of living?"
"Don't mention it. Judging from the strength shown by the Sky-Breaking Blade mentioned in the past few battle reports, he may not be able to defeat the strongest combat forces in the world, so the coalition forces It is very possible that we won nothing last night."
"Nothing was obtained? How do you know? Maybe the Sky-Breaking Blade and his cruel men have grabbed some artifact that we don't know about! And have you heard that the Magic Empire's artillery fire cluster last night We were also attacked! Two positions set up on Fenghua Town Mountain were blown up half a piece! It must be the work of the Sky-Breaking Blade!"
"Indeed, without the support of those magic artillery fire, the coalition forces can really launch the idea of formally attacking... Damn it, so what happened last night? Is there any reliable official who can explain it!"
"It's impossible to be reliable. I've never been in that mood in my life."
Putting down the public opinion information from the outside world that Ciyu Ninglan personally handed over, Duan Qing let go of his hands angrily. He had not returned to the Void Library and was sitting at the Traveler's House at the forefront of the coalition position. , countless players are busily shuttled in the camp: "If I explain to you one by one the ups and downs of last night's battle, wouldn't I be exhausted to death? By the way, I will be harassed into a sieve by you group of busybodies?"
"Actually, it's almost the same now. Several guilds have already come over to ask about your whereabouts last night, sir." Encrypted Ninglan replied with a snicker on her face: "Miss Yushang blocked part of the way for sir, and has been reminding you. They should be patient and wait for our follow-up arrangements, but——"
"But they will definitely not wait so honestly." Looking at the various guild logos posted on the chests of the players passing through the crowd, Duan Qing sneered and put down the magic potion bottle he had been drinking: "Of course. To participate in the competition may not be their only purpose. Now that last night's farce has been exposed, more and more locusts may come after hearing the news."
"This is definitely a good thing for us. If the name of Sir can stay here for a while and give them more confidence, the possibility of victory in this war will also increase accordingly." Ningyu Ninglan covered her mouth and tilted her head. Tilting his head: "The only remaining problem is how to unite more and more players to form a force that can truly be used and commanded."
"Let Yushang and the others decide this matter themselves."
Duan Qing, who fiercely drank the remaining healing magic potion in his hand, raised his head and let out a heavy gasp, then asked in a low voice: "Where is the spirit ice?"
"She stayed in the Void Library. It is said that she wanted to digest her previous combat experience and maintain her equipment." Ciyu Ninglan reported quietly with a snickering expression that Duan Qing couldn't notice: "Of course, Yi Ninglan She may need some time to calm down."
"It's just an ordinary battle, what's there to calm down?" Duan Qing didn't hear anything unusual in the voice of the maid player, and Duan Qing gradually put away his doubts: "Forget it, after I go back, I Let’s take advantage of the momentum from the completion of this mission to have a good communication and see if the Destiny Weaver sisters are willing to help us find the secret of Emperor Frey.”
"It's better to arrange some things for the future now."
He put the glass bottle into his cuffs, and a pair of eyes looking straight ahead were reflected under the magic light: "What are your plans next?"
"Me? I don't have any plans."
Mengzhu, who was curled up with his legs at the door of another tent and was caught in Duan Qing's sight, finally raised his head and muttered and replied: "What arrangements can an 'outsider' like me, who is not strong enough, have?" I have no interest in participating in any war."
"Don't be so inferior. You and your teammates made great contributions in the battle just now." Duan Qing replied with a smile: "And your team also survived to the end in the past games, and you still have the opportunity to participate in the next one." Qualification for the competition.”
"..."
"What, you want to back out?"
Facing the blond girl's reaction of curling up and falling silent again, the smile on Duan Qing's face became more and more prosperous: "Is the belief that supported you to this point just burned out like this?"
"How, how is it possible!" Mengzhu retorted subconsciously, and then Mengzhu also gradually lowered his raised head: "My goal has never changed, but -"
"Just what?"
"It's just that now doesn't seem like the right time, and..."
As if he was a child being induced by the other party, Mengzhu expressed his concerns little by little: "I also know how we got to this point. The previous preliminary competition in Tania and the subsequent The main matches of the competition all involve a lot of luck, and the real backbones, Yumeng and Spartak, are no longer here..."
"Luck is also a part of strength. I have realized this through my long game experience."
Putting away the smile on his face, Duan Qing continued to comfort him in a gentle voice: "On the battlefield just now, it was your timely appearance that saved Nina and I. It can be said that as long as you appear, Everything that goes well will become smoother, and everything that goes wrong will be reversed.”
"If there is luck in this game, you will definitely be rated A+ or above." Duan Qing said with a bright smile again: "As for your teammates - they will definitely come back to find you. of."
"Don't try to hide it from me. I know that Yumeng and Spartak are the people you secretly sent to help me." Mengzhu scolded with sideways eyes: "And the news about Spartak was not published by him before. made a statement…”
"About this matter, Yushang and the others have also started investigating." Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "Even if it is to live up to the illustrious military exploits that man has made for you -"
"You should continue to persevere."
