Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Information about the continent beyond the sea must be experienced personally before we can capture more clues.
After reading the information, Guan Luoyang went there in person, but this time, he didn't sneak in alone.
Hei Cuodao was originally guarding the coastal area. Since the rear was generally calm, it was enough for Yan Zhen and the others to take charge of the situation. Hei Cuodao crossed the sea with Guan Luoyang.
Although the name Hei Cuodao sounds a bit like a nickname, or even a gangster nickname, it is his real name, and his surname is Hei.
In appearance, he was a man with brown skin and a muscular body, wearing only a black vest, camouflage trousers, and a dagger on his belt.
The waves of the vast sea, the azure water waves, slapped onto the beach in layers.
Two figures coming across the sea disappeared from the waves and stepped onto the shore.
The coast is not desolate. Looking along the coastline, about ten miles away, where the river and the sea meet, there is a place that looks like a market.
There are many ships and fishing boats moored on the water, and houses converted from various containers are piled on the shore. During the day, neon lights flash among the signboards. At a glance, there are at least thousands of people moving around.
There was an uneven but wide road that stretched from the market to the low mountains, passed through two confronting hills, and spread into the distance.
Guan Luoyang blinked and found that there were many more soul lights emerging in the market than the figures he saw, so he walked over there curiously.
The distance of more than ten miles was nothing to him and Hei Cuodao. They strolled in the courtyard and in a blink of an eye, they had already entered the market area.
The ground is paved with concrete, but in many places it is so dirty that the true nature of the concrete cannot be seen. It is stained with gasoline, blood, garbage and dust, and is mottled everywhere.
This is a small gathering place with grocery stores, snack shops, and clothing stores.
It was a coincidence that Guan Luoyang and the others arrived. The fishermen on the beach had processed today's harvest and returned to the market with a damp and fishy smell.
Most of these people are carrying long metal poles wrapped with wires and painted black. Large groups of fishing nets are hung on the long poles, hanging down behind their shoulders. The silver-white metal fishing net filaments have good conductivity. sex.
The total weight of such a long pole and fishing net weighs more than two hundred kilograms at least, but these fishermen don't feel heavy when they carry it on their shoulders, and they walk here talking and laughing.
Some of their limbs have been replaced with strong and cold mechanical parts. The ball joints are exposed and engraved with different prosthetic models. The common feature is that their mechanical limbs are one size larger than their torsos, which is obvious. Slightly misshapen.
As a result, the connection between the prosthetic limb and the human body requires more delicate processing.
This also makes these fishermen, both men and women, look extraordinarily tall.
Among the group of people walking towards Guan Luoyang and the others, there were two people whose overall height exceeded three meters after their limbs were modified.
Both of these people looked like adult men, with well-developed neck, chest and abdominal muscles, but compared with their mechanical limbs, they looked like their heads and torso were embedded in a tall armor.
In particular, the ball joints on the shoulders are bulging, larger than the head.
Guan Luoyang knew that this kind of transformation was to make it easier to refill the power supply. The level of psychic energy of these people varied, but none of them were very powerful. Prosthetics driven by a mixture of psychic energy and electrical energy could generally have an output of more than one or two tons. .
After modification, the maximum output of the prosthetic limbs of those two who are over three meters tall may reach more than ten tons.
The fishermen stopped outside the grocery store, and after a few words of conversation, they bought a few boxes of drinks and hugged them to their chests.
One section looked at a very old locomotive, swaying towards me, its lights and shadows changing, projecting a few lines of writing.
Inside and outside the grocery store, there were a lot of engine oil and parts. The store owner, who had most of his head replaced by a silver-gray metal structure, took out a sealed iron bucket and stuffed it into the locomotive.
Guan Luoyang understood why there were so many more spiritual fires here than the active people.
Because there are many owners of spiritual fire who no longer look like humans.
Replace all other parts of the body to reduce life wear and tear, and also make it easier to concentrate psychic energy, replenish energy, and gain greater power.
They transformed themselves into heavy-duty vehicles, movable machine tools, four-legged operating tables with red eyes, mechanical half-human motorcycles with various construction tools spread out on the back, and so on.
When Guan Luoyang wanted to listen, he could even vaguely hear the reason why they transformed themselves into this kind of thing. He found that most of the transformers of this type were in other places before coming to the market, because they were brave and ruthless, or there was no risk of disaster. The limb mutilation was so severe that he had no choice but to live in this form.
There are also a small number of people who are forced by life to modify them to have sufficient power. They plan to wait until they have enough savings to replace them with human-like prosthetics, which will allow them to regain taste, partial touch, etc.
"The overseas shipping on this continent has long been abandoned. The intersection of the river and the sea should have been very prosperous, but now, the people living here basically make a living by fishing, selling the whole boat and sending it away, and making frozen They are just raw materials for food or nutritional solutions.”
The black hair is cool and white, which is in sharp contrast with the skin color. The slightly long hair is wrapped with a black handkerchief and tied in a knot at the back of the head. It looks loose, but no matter how the wind blows, it can't blow away this simplicity. hat of.
He said, "But because this place has not developed, when the inland forces are fighting, they are not willing to send too many people to occupy it, but it also gives the people here a vague sense of self-contained stability."
"Some people can't survive in other places, and if they have the chance to escape and ascend to heaven, they will choose this type of small settlement to change their appearance and start a new life."
Guan Luoyang said: "Isn't there someone who is making the prices of the goods they sell cheaper and cheaper? According to the information, the chaos here is to a certain extent. Maybe their last big transaction has not been completed yet, and the transaction object If you just lose your head, there should be a lot of repercussions, right?"
"Yes, there is."
Hei Cuodao said, "But since I took over the intelligence work here, I have been here a few times and done some things, so the living environment around here is not too extreme."
"Senior Luoyang, let me take you to see the city where I have stayed the most."
They walked along the road outside the market to the city. On the edge of the city, there were countless infrared pillars, which worked together to form a protective detection system.
If you don't go through the designated entrances and exits, the alarm will be triggered.
But there were no strict inspection personnel at the entrance, only a few prosthetic youths playing cards with nothing to do.
"From here, the machine will automatically do a shallow scan and image registration, just to barely measure the psychic level."
Hei Cuodao said, "Most of the cities here do not have strong immigration management measures. Because there are many similar rumors, such as the people who manage the checkpoints are not visionary and are used to harsh exploitation. As a result, powerful psychics are provoked. Otherwise, the entire city’s top management was directly shuffled.”
Guan Luoyang listened and walked, feeling a shallow wave of light sweeping over him.
However, this scanning device is indeed not very accurate. It is estimated that as long as there is a psychic power of level 4 or above, it can hide one's true level and fool him.
After Guan Luoyang realized the true meaning of the demon, he acted like an ordinary person no matter how he tested, and walked over casually.
But as soon as the two of them passed this checkpoint, in less than three minutes, a low-flying convoy rushed to the city and surrounded them.
The bright beauty with silver windbreaker and red hair and red lips stepped out of one of the cars and threw herself on Hei Cuodao happily.
"Lord City Lord, you are back."
"You are the city lord. Also, let me go."
Hei Cuodao's expression did not change at all, but he stepped back a little suspiciously, ignoring the person who was hanging on him and not letting go, and looked at Guan Luoyang, "This person is the special service agent I recruited locally, An Ling." , is the person in charge of this city for the time being.”
He introduced Guan Luoyang to An Ling.
"Senior of the City Lord?"
An Ling hugged Hei Cuodao's neck, turned his face sideways, blinked his right eye, and said obediently, "Hello, senior."
Hei Cuodao's voice rose a little: "It's so rude to let go."
An Ling turned a deaf ear and invited Guan Luoyang to get in the car, while holding Hei Cuo Dao and pulling him into the car.
The car was controlled by an intelligent program, and the return journey was very fast. Within a few minutes, we arrived at a magnificent manor in the city.
Flowers are in full bloom in the manor, and the neatly trimmed plants create a dark green maze. On one side of the maze is a large fountain that is clear and translucent and accompanied by melodious tunes.
On the other side of the fountain, something as luxurious and luxurious as the hall of a European palace is revealed.
The vehicle is parked next to the fountain.
After Guan Luoyang got off the car, he looked up along the fountain.
Several black metal cylinders as thick as arms were inserted into the fountain, with the top reaching a height of a hundred meters.
On the top of each pillar, there was a corpse hanging, swaying in the high-altitude air currents.
An Ling opened the car door and said with a smile: "The ones hanging above are all the former city lords, especially the most rusty corpse. That is my grandfather, who died earliest, and the one on his left is my brother. The second one died."
Guan Luoyang turned around.
Hei Cuodao also got out of the car and said coldly: "They are all damn people, there is nothing to say."
Guan Luoyang glanced at the two people in front of him and said with a smile: "The whole body has been replaced by machinery, and the corpse is still exposed."
Hei Cuodao said: "Sometimes, only neurotic cruelty can deter greed."
He looked up and said, "I helped four of these people up. Then I pretended to leave for a while, and when I came back, I found that they had all become damned and even wanted to attack the agents I left in the city. Take action."
"I have no choice but to ask them to die in a spectacular way and make good use of their remaining value."
An Ling raised his hand and said: "I agree. The only pity is that you killed them too quickly. They were not miserable enough before they died."
She smiled broadly and said, "But I'm different. I govern very seriously. Does the City Lord want to come and check your homework?"
Hei Cuodao was not polite at all: "Then prepare all the information and personnel. I will talk to Senior Luoyang about other things first."
He walked into the hall, knocked on the coffee table with his fingers, and asked the smart butler to go up to the second floor and bring down a silver-white helmet without any unnecessary decoration.
Guan Luoyang sat on the sofa and took the helmet.
"These helmets are everywhere and I collected quite a few when I first came here."
Hei Cuodao said, "Unfortunately, after leaving the mainland, the helmet signal will be cut off and you will not be able to log in to the game world. I brought some back to the coalition government and tried to crack it, but so far there has been no progress."
"This one is ownerless. Senior Luoyang can try to log in and see what partition it is in?"
According to the information collected by Hei Cuodao from the local area, there are a total of six major divisions in the Promised Land and this game world.
They are: fairy tales, fantasy kingdoms, historical hegemony, suspense and strangeness, wilderness era, and urban life.
But I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or something intentional by those behind the game. Basically, Hei Cuodao and his agents are divided into two areas: “Mythical Fairy Tales” and “Suspense and Weirdness”.
Regarding the situation of the other four subdivisions, we can only rely on local people to collect information.
"Actually, this game had been running for many years before the Cataclysm. However, at that time, its influence was not outstanding compared with other games. It seemed that because of strict selection of customers, there was only a small group of die-hard fans. pink."
"After the Cataclysm, helmets from this game suddenly appeared in various cities on this continent like a flood."
Hei Cuodao was still explaining, saying, "At that time, for people living in chaos, the biggest attraction of this game was that it could adjust the player's sense of time."
"For one hour in the real world, players can spend two hours in the game, and during the game time, their consciousness is completely awake, and they can experience a life in the game world that is close to reality, but in a much more stable environment. "
"The chaos of reality makes people exhausted mentally and physically, and they can only find relaxation in games. Players can also wear a game helmet when falling asleep, and after playing in the game for more than ten hours, they can exit the game, feeling comfortable and full of energy, just like I really slept deeply for such a long time.”
"Later, the game world became more and more perfect. They discovered that if they achieved certain achievements in the game, it would be fed back to reality, increasing the intensity of their spiritual energy. Even the mechanical design drawings, cultivation knowledge, and pharmaceutical formulas in the game would be reflected in reality. It can also be copied and used, and it will be equally effective.”
"In an era of chaos, no one wants to acquire advanced technology and develop stronger spiritual powers, whether by force or through fair trade. In short, the resources in the game world will soon be linked to the resources in the real world. As a result, more people flocked to the game enthusiastically."
Hei Cuodao frowned and said, "That organization is so interested in the game world, it must have received generous rewards. Their official members may be active in the game world. I have always wanted to catch clues in this regard. "
"But to be on the safe side, I only invest a small part of my psychic energy every time. The intensity in the game world is also directly proportional to the psychic energy I invest. Many things are inconvenient to do."
"Now that the seniors are here this time, after the seniors have a better understanding of the place, I will be ready to devote myself to it and see if I can stir up enough waves to pull out their fox tail."
Guan Luoyang inspected his helmet and muttered: "Don't be anxious. In this situation, it's not us who should be anxious."
"Let me log in and take a look first."
He held the helmet in his hand, closed his eyes, separated a ray of spirit, put it into the helmet, and immediately activated the chip inside the helmet.
【Ding! New players are welcome to log in, please register a user name]
"Um...Qiu Hong."
[The registration of the user name "Qiu Hong" has been completed, and the partitions will be randomly matched, please wait]
"random?"
Between Guan Luoyang's closed eyes, there was a faint flicker of strange light and shadow.
The golden data flow spread out in rows behind him, like countless slips of paper hanging in the air, the handwriting flowing rapidly, sinking and floating, looming.
"Let me make my own choice!"
"Six major partitions, let me see how much server resources each of you takes up."
