Jiangnan hero Yue Buqun was a little anxious.
Of course he is not called this name in reality. Although he has the same surname as Yue, his full name is Yue Zhongquan.
It is said that when he was born, it was during the great cataclysm. For some reason, no food crops could be grown on the ground. Many flowers, plants and trees died, and the water became undrinkable.
Some knowledgeable people have said that geological disasters occur frequently and the pH of the land has changed significantly.
At that time, many people had efficient water purifiers, so they didn't care much about it. But soon after, the situation became increasingly chaotic, energy was scarce, and even water that could not be drank directly was trapped.
Militants have a monopoly on food and water, and they sell it more and more expensively. They do not require currency, so they have to barter or pay some other price.
The name Yuezhongquan was born based on his family's love and expectation for the spring water.
After more than fifty years, Yue Zhongquan has also worked hard to build a foundation. He has good psychic talents and can do well in the game world. It is natural for him to build a team of his own in the real world.
Sixth-level psykers can already occupy two or three towns and do whatever they want, but they can't mess with those big cities.
Yue Zhongquan is a nostalgic person who has wiped out many evil gangs and managed their area in an orderly manner. He even restored some of the factories that existed before the catastrophe and started long-term trade with other places.
It's a pity that in this wasteland continent, if you don't offend others, they will offend you.
A nearby metropolis, Ganggong City, has a seventh-level psyker and two sixth-level psykers. Their men are well-trained and powerful, and they are eyeing Yue Zhongquan.
Those people first requested to join and asked Yue Zhongquan to regularly supply a batch of materials for free as a sign of their sincerity.
But in the next two or three years, the requirements became more and more excessive.
Yue Zhongquan knew that he could not defeat them, so he endured it again and again, secretly contacting some surrounding allies to form a counterattack alliance.
They are just waiting to launch a counterattack when the alliance has the means to fight against seventh-level psykers.
This time in the "Promised Land", large-scale main missions in urban areas and historical areas were held one after another, much earlier than expected, and the rewards were so generous that Yue Zhongquan saw real hope.
As long as you can take advantage of the chaos in such a big event and have the confidence to fight against seventh-level psychic powers, you don't have to swallow your anger.
But I never expected that, let alone making a fortune, a sudden change in a large-scale main mission would actually force players to log offline, and they are still unable to log in.
I stayed in my study room for several hours, constantly browsing the forum, watching other players making the same noise, constantly refreshing the page, and having no way to contact my friends.
Looking at the anxious faces of his friends, Yue Zhongquan pushed away the desk with some anger, stood up and paced back and forth while the equipment on the desk shook together.
Another communication prompt came from the watch. Yue Zhongquan pressed the answer button on the watch, and a bust image of a middle-aged man with short hair and a fat figure was projected in the air.
"Lao Yue, have you received the news?"
Yue Zhongquan said: "What?"
"The Promised Land will be maintained for one month."
The middle-aged man is an old friend of Yue Zhongquan. I heard that he came to make a living from the seaside to the inland city a few years ago. He has fourth-level psychic powers but is not weak in skills. He said, "You didn't read the message that popped up on the login page. ?"
Yue Zhongquan quickly returned to his desk, picked up the game helmet and looked inside, but there was still nothing. But he looked at the forum next to him, and sure enough, all the players seemed to be discussing this matter!
"It will be maintained for one month and you will not be able to log in during this period. Will all users have a new experience after one month?"
Yue Zhongquan was a little surprised, but also a little worried, "Why don't I have anything here?"
The slightly fat middle-aged man was also a little confused. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized: "Oh, you may be the first player to feel, ahem, offline, so you should be slower to receive the message."
Yue Zhongquan didn't think too much when he saw a new message pop up in the helmet. He couldn't help but feel relieved. At the same time, he complained a little: "What a new experience and large-scale event? There is not a word about it, right? We have been waiting for so long." A long chance…”
The fat middle-aged man smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have some gossip. I heard that the game world has a few more talkative managers. Maybe there are people you know who can get some benefits by then."
Yue Zhongquan smiled and said: "Don't say such nonsense to comfort people. After so many years in the game world, when did the administrator show up and promote an acquaintance of mine? Hahahaha, don't say it, I am really happy now." "
The slightly chubby middle-aged man didn't mind, and said, "Then let me tell you a more interesting tidbit about the boss at the Steel Palace."
He wiped his neck and said, "It's over. The prosthetic bodies of the two people under him were also destroyed because they hid the backup of his soul data. Now those two have been replaced with next-level prosthetics." , taken out alone, he is probably weaker than you."
Yue Zhongquan said in surprise: "What? Don't joke about this kind of thing!"
"Although it's hearsay, it's not a joke."
The fat middle-aged man said seriously, "Aren't my credibility in the past few years enough for you to trust me? I can also tell you that just recently, the chaotic situation on this continent will undergo huge changes, and there will be huge changes. An order in which people can feel at ease has been established, and those who do evil will eventually be liquidated."
Yue Zhongquan's expression changed and he hesitated to speak. Looking at his old friend, he suddenly felt that he was a bit strange.
He believed in his old friend. When the other party spoke seriously, everything he said had to be carefully considered. But because of trust, he now wanted to ask, "How do you know so much? On the forum There has been a lot of quarreling, there are all kinds of speculations, but there is no result. Is the source of your gossip too suspicious? "
But he didn't say it.
In any case, this old friend has never harmed him before, and now... it is a good thing to have such a friend.
Yue Zhongquan's eyes lit up and he said hesitantly: "If it is as you said, the big situation is not our turn to control. In short, we will counterattack first. That's right, now is a good time for our alliance to counterattack. "
The fat middle-aged man laughed again: "That's right, that's what I meant by contacting you. I have also contacted other people. I will have some new helpers here. When the time comes, we will counterattack together, behead, shock, and quickly take over. , declared everywhere.”
"However, after the beheading, there should be no major changes in the follow-up matters. Let's wait for a while."
He said confidently, "In any case, I won't let you people suffer."
Yue Zhongquan listened to his thoughts and agreed. Afterwards, they held a video conference to confront the important figures in the alliance and discussed the time of action together.
After the meeting, he sat at his desk in a daze for a while. When he came back to his senses, it was already late at night, so he quickly sent someone to explore the situation in Ganggong City to see if there were any clues that could verify what he had obtained during the day. news.
But at this time, he discovered that the situation on the player forum had changed dramatically.
It's only been a few hours, and the various forums and communication groups that were noisy before and had different opinions now seem to have the same kind of public opinion.
——This wave of maintenance in the game world will be accompanied by changes in the situation in the entire wasteland continent. The situation of chaos and division may be coming to an end.
Yue Zhongquan didn't know where this public opinion came from, but after he panicked for a while, he thought of his old friend and felt a secret expectation in his heart.
He walked to the window of the study, opened the window, placed his palm on the somewhat old window sill, and looked at his town.
This is a street rebuilt on the ruins. Diligent people live here. More than fifty years have passed and no trace of the ruins can be seen. However, the houses beside the wide concrete road cannot be said to be very high-end and clean. .
There are a lot of mosquitoes gathering under the street lights. Children with weak psychic abilities have not yet reached the age where they need to replace their prosthetic limbs and have to work. They are luckier than children in many places in the wasteland.
They were playing the game of shooting mosquitoes with toothpicks with their young palms.
"If it really changes, I don't expect the external environment to get much better..."
Yue Zhongquan clenched his fist and pressed it against the window sill. He felt a surge of enthusiasm in his chest, "As long as it doesn't get worse and doesn't get squeezed by other seventh-level subordinates, I will be able to build a better place here." good."
"Even if we can make them as happy as those in urban areas, it may not be impossible."
The apparent technological strength of urban areas in the game world is only equivalent to the level of the real world at the beginning of the 21st century.
There is a gap of three hundred years in technology, but it is a place that many people envy, and a goal that many people want to achieve throughout their lives.
And also on this night, people coming out of the urban area are sighing at the scenery of the real world.
Qi Dongqiang and Ye Wu were not in a hurry to leave the game world, but rushed to see their relatives and friends.
Only Su Sheng, after settling in for a while, borrowed a bionic robot, transferred his soul data into it, and came to reality.
"Is this the ocean in the real world? It's really..."
He held it in for a long time, but couldn't find any difference from the sea scene in the game world at normal times, "It's really different."
He looked at the sky again, and this time it was much easier to sigh, "The moon is different too!"
Guan Luoyang made a small horse and sat next to it, fishing.
After coming to reality, Su Sheng was at a loss, so Guan Luoyang suggested that he go to the beach to fish and see the scenery.
"The moon is really different."
Guan Luoyang chuckled, "Your prosthetic body is not very good and has no sense of touch or taste. However, the fact that you people can continue to practice means that your original brains are actually still there."
"I have given some information to my friends and asked them to find your brain. Once they find the brain, install a good prosthetic body, and input the soul data back, you will be able to experience the real world more comprehensively. It’s different.”
Su Sheng thanked him twice and said, "Didn't we agree beforehand that we would cooperate with your research? I don't know what the research is?"
"I have already read your stuff and memorized it all. I will just wait and think about it by myself. No further cooperation is required. For other research, please wait for others to notify you. In short, it won't be anything too embarrassing for you. matter."
Guan Luoyang put the fishing rod at his feet, waved his hand, stood up and sat down on the recliner behind him, "Don't think so much. Since it's your first time to come back to reality and play, just go fishing."
Su Sheng looked at him for a while, then turned back in relief and concentrated on fishing.
Guan Luoyang had already collapsed on the recliner, resting his head on his hands and focusing his thoughts elsewhere.
The Mind Method has comprehended the divine power of the vacuum, the Heavenly Demon Technique has comprehended the true meaning, the Tianhe Zhengfa has reached the ninth level of Qi refining, and the genetic information martial arts has reached overall evolution.
He has reached the six-star level, but if he wants to make progress next, where should he go?
As long as reincarnators survive, their cultivation progress will generally be faster than that of aborigines in a single world.
Because they have access to power systems, techniques, elixirs, weapons, and even external resources such as "teachers" from many different worlds, the range of options available to them is much more flexible than that of most natives of a single world.
Sometimes, if you encounter difficulties or flaws in a certain power system that are difficult to overcome, you can go to other power systems to find something that can help you.
Fast, fast enough, but this also causes the reincarnation group, after reaching a certain level, to find that their direction is not so clear, and even more confused than the same level of strong people in a single world.
Guan Luoyang himself can actually be regarded as a reincarnation who has not learned so much. He is basically either immortal or martial arts, and he has only studied combat. He has not studied in depth alchemy, weapon refining, formations, talismans, divination, and bloodline. Wait for subjects.
But counting down, what he has learned so far has spanned about ten different systems.
The Four Great Practices, the Mind Method, the Three Dantian Internal Skills of the Tang Dynasty, the True Form of the Blue Bird, the Heavenly Demon Skill, the Golden Stone Demonic Way of the Water Margin, the Purifying Immortal Way, Tianhe Zhengfa, Gene Information Martial Arts, etc.
He also dabbled in the ghost-immortal cultivation techniques he learned from his friends, and discussed some mysteries of the earthly immortal realm with Mr. Yuan, Qin Zhiyue and others from Jukuzhou.
However, he first used the "closed classroom after ten years" to let his future self summarize the path for him.
There are also Tianhe Zhengfa, Tianmo Gong, and two seven-star skills as the core, as well as vacuum divine power and genetic information martial arts as supplements.
Therefore, there is no obvious bottleneck period all the way to six-star level.
However, when his comprehensive level in all aspects has reached the high-level six-star level, he finds that the subsequent path is a bit unclear.
Between six-star high level and seven-star level, it is a crucial level.
This can be seen from the various preferential treatment given to seven-star reincarnators by the main god space.
The most well-known point is that only seven-star reincarnations can freely choose whether to return to a certain world they have been to. With this authority, there is a lot of room for maneuver.
Some people also call the level between Six Stars and Seven Stars the Divine Gate.
Only when you step into the first level of the Divine Gate and reach the Seven Stars can you officially begin to embark on the path to achieve the power of the true God in the infinite world.
I don’t know how many six-star reincarnations are amazing and talented, but they are stuck at this level and cannot reach a higher level.
Don't look at "Tianhe Zhengfa" and "Tianmo Gong", they are both claimed to be seven-star skills, but it does not mean that these two skills can give many useful tips to people who are stuck at six stars.
Tianhe Zhengfa, in the world of "Immortal Gourd" and in the entire universe, is a superior method. If you practice to the realm of Yuanshen, you can be regarded as a seven-star. But even if you are a lucky person in that universe, you can cooperate with such superior techniques. , and there is no saying that you can break through to the soul step by step. You still have to polish your mind and wait for the opportunity.
Not to mention the Heavenly Demon Kung Fu, Si Yushu, the founder of the Blue Bird True Form, was so knowledgeable in martial arts that he could cooperate with others to improve some chapters of the Heavenly Demon Kung Fu, but he still couldn't break through the Seven Stars and had to follow others. Fighting to the death, fighting for the slightest chance, leading to unfortunate death.
So much so that there is a joke in the Samsara Base, "All Samsaras are cheaters, but if you don't cheat a lot, you won't become a seven-star player."
Guan Luoyang still can't think of any big tricks that can help him reach the seven-star level. However, during the recent period, he has compiled and inquired about various information and found an idea to create "small hooks" for himself. .
You have to eat your food one bite at a time. It is more efficient to make a "little hook" first than to practice hard like this wholeheartedly.
The problem he was going to find for himself was time.
In the Promised Land, the time flow rate in this game world is twice that of the real world.
One day passes in the real world, two days pass in the game world.
This is originally just a way to influence the human spirit and adjust the sense of time. Guan Luoyang can also do it himself. It is just a way to control the spirit. Tianmo Zhenyi is very good at it.
However, people like Su Sheng and others have been living in the game world, and they can still practice. The duration of practice is calculated directly according to the internal time of the game world, and the spiritual powers they cultivate are not false data.
This is extraordinary, Guan Luoyang couldn't do it before.
Deceiving other people's time sense is just a trick in the first place, but the spiritual power that increases in the game world is real.
As long as he can crack the secret between "fake" and "real", Guan Luoyang will have at least twice as much cultivation time as others every moment.
It is not difficult to crack this secret, because Jiushan himself has studied this topic and left a lot of information.
But after Jiushan studied all the conditions, he discovered that he could only do this kind of thing in the game world, with the assistance of countless artificial intelligence, and when a certain number of players were online.
And twice is already the limit. With his personal means, there is no way to adjust this time ratio higher.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Once he leaves the game world and does other things, Jiushan has no way to enjoy the benefits of twice the time.
It was impossible for Guan Luoyang to take away the entire game world, so he tried to construct the same conditions in his own mind.
Deep blue water and pure white sky.
Guan Luoyang's spirit sits in the middle of the sky and the sea, transforming this place time and time again.
He let the vacuum power penetrate here, used the knowledge of Brahma's brain to write data for himself, and used the true meaning of the devil to simulate the feeling of multiple thoughts online. The effect was felt from the beginning, but it was very subtle, not much different from the time flow rate in the outside world. , always prone to collapse once he wants to speed up.
In reality, the sun and moon rotate, day and night change, the tide rises and falls on the beach, and the blue water reflects different sky and cloud scenes.
Guan Luoyang was immersed in his inner world, constantly experiencing the subtle signs before each failure, and finally he caught the mistake.
"Using the true meaning of the devil to simulate multiple thoughts is a wrong step. I don't really want to have a schizophrenia. The simulated thoughts may seem different, but in fact they are just different on the surface. The differences are not big, and they cannot serve as a sufficient control group."
At the beach, Guan Luoyang stood up.
I don't know how long he lay there, but Hei Cuodao also came here and was fishing with Su Sheng. There was not a single small fish in the bucket next to the two of them.
An Ling's side, on the other hand, would carry a full harvest from time to time and wander back from Heicao Dao, change positions, and continue fishing.
Su Sheng looked at those fish with envy.
Hei Cuodao's eyes were not squinting, and his eyes were focused. He was not fishing at all, but clearly practicing.
Guan Luoyang ignored them and went directly across the sea. Soon after, he returned to the coalition government and found Yan Zhen in the military and administrative hall of Indra Province.
"Brother Yan Zhen, how did you come up with the trick of extracting genetic information and creating historical projections?"
Yan Zhen was discussing something. When he saw him suddenly barging in, his mind was not distracted, and he was obviously in a wonderful state. He dismissed the people around him and replied: "I have already thought of that move, but you still have to give it to me." The training notes on the way of ghosts and immortals speed up the process of moving towards that realm."
"Okay, okay."
Guan Luoyang's eyes shone and he said, "Come, let me tell you what I have been thinking about recently, and let's try to deduce it together."
Yan Zhen listened to what he said and couldn't help but immerse himself in it. He heard someone making noise around him and glanced at it. It was not something too urgent.
"Go to Ming Jing. Go to him for all the things you talked about before. He is very considerate and will definitely be able to take care of it."
After that, the old man asked Guan Luoyang to go out together to find a quiet place.
The person who came to report had no choice but to report to the Fifth Mirror.
"Oh? There is an abandoned jump base, and there are signs of opening a jump channel?"
After reading the report, Fifth Mirror said, "I'll go and see for myself."
He was always careful, so after thinking for a while, he added, "President Hong of Shenzhou Jieyi Society is nearby. She must be at least of her level to avoid following Senior Diu Yanzhen and Mr. Guan. Please ask her to follow. If anything happens, it’s convenient to notify you.”
After hearing the news, Hong Siya arrived immediately and took over the work of following the two men.
The two of them didn't go far. They randomly found a tree shade in the park and stood there to discuss. Later, they sat cross-legged and remained silent. They didn't know what they were doing. From time to time, they opened their mouths to discuss a few more words.
Hong Siya simply worked nearby for more than ten days.
Another morning, while she was having a video conference and paying attention to the two people over there through the projection screen, she suddenly saw Guan Luoyang opening his eyes and catching a fallen leaf falling from the tree.
Hong Siya didn't rush over. After observing for a while, she was sure that Guan Luoyang had come out of the state of immersive comprehension and deduction.
"It worked, I succeeded."
Guan Luoyang looked at the leaves in his hands, feeling pure joy in his heart.
For a moment, even this dead leaf with yellowing edges was more pleasing to the eye. He simply summoned up his energy to turn the dead leaf green, stood up, and threw the leaf back to where it fell.
The leaf stems are connected back to the branches, and they are as bright as new. The whole tree glows with a wonderful light, shaking the branches and leaves, and all the yellow branches turn to dark green.
A hundred years later, the tree in the park remained evergreen all year round.
Since he became a reincarnation, forced by the situation and the subtle influence of the general environment, Guan Luoyang has become more and more efficient in his work. He has done less and less of this unnecessary fun.
But after the deduction of the set of magical powers just now, he seemed to have swept away all the dust in his heart, and a kind of contentment, calmness and peace emerged.
"Hahahaha, okay."
Yan Zhen also stood up with a smile, "Brother Guan, does this Kung Fu have a name?"
Guan Luoyang thought for a while and said: "You can call it, Vacuum Heart Realm, Demonic Thoughts in the Spring and Autumn Period!"
The spiritual thoughts left in his heart are practicing and accumulating spiritual energy at a different time ratio from the outside world.
Although the Vacuum Heart Realm and the Demonic Spring and Autumn Period can only be constructed by yourself at present, unlike the game world, you can adjust the sense of time for multiple people.
But Guan Luoyang and the others have worked hard and deduced so far. The effect they can achieve for themselves far exceeds the time ratio of the game world.
Guan Luoyang breathed a long sigh of relief, and there was an evergreen tree behind him.
"Ha! Starting from today, I will spend at least one hundred and sixty-eight hours practicing every day!"
