Ning Bu Wen woke up and smelled a refreshing floral fragrance.
He did not just get up from the bed, but began to recall his memory of the ultimate copy in the virtual reality.
At that time, Ning Buwen went to the ultimate copy, which should be considered a magic civilization. The requirements for passing that copy are the same as the requirements for passing this copy now, and it is also necessary to usher in the end of the world in that era.
Everyone can talk about the concept of the end of the world, but it is quite difficult to actually realize it.
Human vitality is so tenacious.
In terms of physical strength and lifespan, there are many species on this planet that are stronger than humans, but in the end, it is humans who become the overlord. In addition to human intelligence, vitality is also a very important element.
Throughout history, mankind has experienced many crises similar to the end of the world.
The Ice Age, the Black Death, the World Wars.
Even Pandora later on.
It seems that human beings are able to survive every desperate situation. As long as there is one person alive, this person can slowly revive the human race.
In the virtual reality, since the ninth generation of players only had less than 20 years left, Ning Buwen was not able to achieve much in the ultimate copy of Magic Civilization. He just saw with his own eyes that the ninth generation of players were killed one by one after being labeled as "devil", "madman" or "Satan" by the NPCs in the copy.
It is really difficult for one person to fight against the world.
The most important thing is that many of the people in the ultimate copy are no longer just NPCs, many of them were once players.
Pandora once gave Ning Buyun a choice: whether to move to Pandora, and even bring a few relatives and friends with him, but Ning Buyun refused. If he had not refused, he would now be a resident of these ultimate copy worlds.
Ning Bu Wen once made friends with many former players in that magical and civilized world.
However, when they learned the content of their mission, they could not help but stand on the opposite side of Ning Buwen.
Ning Buwen dared not think about it any further.
Pandora was right to seal their memories.
If they keep remembering this, I'm afraid they won't be able to cheer up for a long time.
Mr. Tan is right about one thing. The current technological civilization is relatively the safest among the seven copies.
Back in the magical civilization, the reason why Ning Bu Wen rarely took action was not only because he wanted to experience it, but also because the residents of the magical civilization world were very powerful.
If this is the case with magical civilization, it goes without saying that it is even more so with the cultivation civilization.
Nominally, the seven ultimate copies are the same, but in fact, in terms of difficulty, the technological civilization should be the easiest.
The reason is simple, because players are most familiar with the world of technological civilization.
However, facing the other six unknown civilizations, it would be too difficult to complete the mission.
Ning Bu Wen took a deep breath and got up from the bed.
He has nearly 10,000 types of prop cards, and his personal physical ability has evolved to an incredible level. In simple terms, if Ning Buwen wants to predict the next lottery number in this world, he only needs to use his ability once to get it.
From a certain perspective, Ning Buwen is very lucky.
At least among the seven ultimate copies, the copy he chose was the simplest one. And Cheng Yuxue had had two experiences in this copy.
Well, first let's find Cheng Yuxue and listen to his opinions on this copy world.
With more than 80 years to go, there is no need to be so anxious.
Ning Buwen's identity in this copy has not changed at all. The welfare home where he once lived, the restaurant where he once ate, and the park where he once walked can all be found in this world, as if he had always been a native of this world.
Apart from some minor changes, the general direction has remained almost unchanged.
If Pandora had not appeared, the earth would be what it is now.
Ning Buwen walked out of the apartment and was stunned by the world in front of him.
No... Isn't this a world of technological civilization? Why does he feel like he has come to a plant world
What appeared before Ning Buwen at this moment was a city with a very high level of greening.
The trees are towering into the sky, the grass is green, and the ground is full of fruits and flowers, like a huge garden. There are mostly tree-lined paths on the ground, and there are almost no vehicles. Instead, there are more people riding horses, cows, and bicycles.
The sky was also very blue, and the air was unexpectedly fresh, which were things Ning Buwen had rarely experienced in previous dungeons.
What is even more strange is the people here. Each of them has a happy expression on their face, and they seem to be very satisfied with the life before them.
Ning Buwen walked for about half an hour and rarely saw anyone with a sad expression. Occasionally, there were a few who looked sad, but they recovered quickly.
This scene seems somewhat familiar.
This was also the world that Wei Yu had created in the Dream Come True dungeon.
It’s just that the world created by Wei Yu was too beautiful to be real, while this world is relatively more real.
The main reason should be these things.
Ning Buwen looked around.
Various slogans are written on these flowers, plants and trees.
“Today is a beautiful day, too.”
"Thank you world, thank you earth."
“Being alive is the most beautiful thing.”
"Don't worry, I'm by your side."
…
There are also large billboards on the outer walls of the buildings, playing a variety of soothing music.
Hearing, vision, and taste all bring a sense of ease and comfort. In such an environment, even if you really feel sad, it won't last long.
Before Ning Buwen and Cheng Yuxue entered this dungeon together, Cheng Yuxue once said, "Wait for me at the largest library."
So, it would be better not to ask the direction of this road, which is the library.
Because he didn't know which library was the largest, Ning Buwen asked several passersby, and they all told him the address enthusiastically and even recommended a few good novels to him. One handsome guy even said that the back seat of his bicycle could carry one more person, so he could take Ning Buwen with him.
Ning Buwen politely declined.
However, we can chat more.
"I'm sorry to trouble you too much." Ning Buwen said shyly, "You should handle your own affairs yourself."
"Don't be so polite, we are all brothers." The man on the bicycle smiled, "I used to be shy and afraid of causing trouble to others. In fact, it's just a small favor. It's not easy for us to survive, so we should all enjoy life."
"Yeah." Ning Buwen agreed, "I plan to go to the library and read some books to cultivate myself."
"Come on." The handsome guy on the bicycle smiled at Ning Buwen, "If you have any problem, just tell us. We will help you. Bye."
"goodbye."
Ning Bu Wen waved his hand, and the smile on his face faded little by little.
Through this brief conversation, he could clearly feel that what the man said just now was from the heart.
In fact, his personal physical ability had already given some information when he arrived in this copy world.
“This is a peaceful world.”
Too peaceful.
This is probably what the ultimate utopia of human fantasy looks like.
The mission of these players is to bring doomsday to such a world.
It's ridiculous.
Ning Buwen continued walking forward, and before he knew it, he arrived at the largest library here.
Will Cheng Yuxue be here
Ning Buwen didn't know for sure, but he might as well give it a try. It probably wouldn't be too far away. After all, they still had prop cards to use.
What Ning Buwen didn’t understand was why Cheng Yuxue wanted to meet at the library instead of somewhere else
As soon as he entered the library, Ning Buwen noticed the fluctuation in the use of prop cards.
Is it Cheng Yuxue
Ning Buwen looked at the ring on his finger which was glowing slightly.
It looks like he's here.
Ning Bu Wen immediately started looking for it in the library.
I didn't expect it to be so smooth.
He walked all the way to the third floor, pushed open the door of a reading room, and saw Cheng Yuxue sitting there quietly reading a book.
The sunlight shining in made Cheng Yuxue look even more holy in a unique way.
He was already good-looking, and in this light he looked even more beautiful.
Apart from Ning Buwen, no one else in the reading room had any interest in reading. Instead, they were all looking at Cheng Yuxue.
Everyone has a love for beauty.
Even the people in the dungeon have normal aesthetic standards.
Ning Bu Wen approached cautiously, feeling a little excited inside.
No matter how much these people see, this person is still his.
Even though they are an old couple, sometimes, from a different perspective, Ning Buwen would still be struck by Cheng Yuxue's beauty.
There is no hope for face control.
"You're here." Cheng Yuxue turned a page of the book and pushed it in front of Ning Buwen. "I know what you want to ask me. Why don't you take a look at the records in this book first?"
Ning Buwen knew that Cheng Yuxue had a deep meaning behind everything he did. He was acting so serious at this time, so I'm afraid this book is unusual.
It’s just that Cheng Yuxue’s speed is a bit too fast.
Is it so easy to get this kind of key item? Sure enough, the person who has been here twice is more experienced than me.
Ning Bu Wen was not in a hurry to read the book, but instead went to see Cheng Yuxue first.
Something seems to be wrong with Cheng Yuxue's condition.
In other words, from the time he activated the derivative fragments of greed to the time he met Mr. Tan in the Pandora space, Cheng Yuxue's condition became very wrong.
Seems... a little fragile.
Ning Buwen didn't know how to describe this feeling.
Cheng Yuxue has always been powerful. Even in the deep dream, Cheng Yuxue still has his own pride.
He went from being an ordinary person to being like this. He experienced so much pain and loss to grow into the Cheng Yuxue he is today.
Even the unbearable past in the deep dreams, Cheng Yuxue can face it calmly.
Ning Buwen rarely sees the emotion of "vulnerability" in Cheng Yuxue.
But now, he felt it clearly again.
Why
"Don't ask too much. Just finish reading the book and you'll know." Cheng Yuxue covered Ning Buwen's hand. "After reading it, you'll understand where the difficulty of this ultimate copy lies."
Ning Buwen looked at Cheng Yuxue without saying anything.
After a long while, he nodded.
Maybe there is something that cannot be said.
The ultimate copy brings players not danger or mental trauma, but a questioning of human nature in another sense.
Ning Buwen's thoughts changed several times in just a moment. To outsiders, it seemed that Ning Buwen took the beautiful woman's book seamlessly and started reading.
This is a history book with very ordinary decoration.
To put it bluntly, it is modern history.
"1,100 years ago, hundreds of cancers broke out, and three-fifths of the human race became extinct, leaving nine out of ten houses empty. In order to survive, patients took the initiative to request human experiments... According to incomplete statistics, as many as 10 million people died during human experiments."
Ning Buwen's hands began to tremble when he saw these pictures.
He turned the page and looked at the next paragraph.
"Nine hundred years ago, the world was attacked by alien beasts, and the number of humans that had just recovered was reduced to 100 million again, of which more than 5 million were children."
Ning Buwen could see the strange beast above very clearly.
These are all high-level monsters.
He even vaguely saw Azhi's figure in it.
Yes, Sinan is also a survivor, and he has also experienced the ultimate copy, so there is nothing surprising about the appearance of Azhi here.
He turned another page.
"Seven hundred and sixty years ago, the newly revived human race established thirty-two nations. In the following five years, wars broke out among many nations. Countless people died in the flames of war, and the average life expectancy was less than forty years."
The above data is so cruel that even Ning Buwen, the reader, feels chilled to the bone.
"Afterwards, the terrorist leader 'Blood' who provoked the national war was sentenced to 999 years of unlimited imprisonment and imprisoned in the deepest dark dungeon."
When Ning Buwen saw this, he quickly looked up at Cheng Yuxue.
"Keep watching." Cheng Yuxue answered with these three words.
Ning Buwen felt that this history book had become heavy.
When he saw the front, he already had some guesses.
But now, the speculation has become true.
Ning didn't ask and just continued to look over.
"… Five hundred years ago, the earth's crust moved, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters lasted for ten years, and the human population dropped to 30 million."
This should be the power of magic-type personal physical players and prop cards. The top 100 players and S-level prop cards can achieve this level.
Compared to wars, natural disasters are simpler and more brutal, but also more effective.
It can be seen that generation after generation of players are beginning to improve their efficiency step by step.
"Four hundred years ago, air pollution was severe and a virus called 'Satan' swept the world, causing the human population to drop to less than 10,000. Human reproduction once relied on cloning."
"Cloning technology has replaced organs full of viruses for humans. Humans have mastered the virus's transmission method and finally controlled the disease. Now samples of the 'Satan' virus are stored in the National Museum."
"A hundred years ago, due to a medical accident, a zombie virus broke out and human cities were lost one after another. Until five years ago, all the zombies were wiped out by humans."
If ordinary diseases, natural disasters, strange beasts, and wars cannot wipe out humans, then let's replace them with zombies transformed from humans.
The zombies recorded in the books spread quickly. Just by biting, the bitten humans can be transformed into zombies within just five hours. Zombies also have the ability to evolve.
At the worst time, there was only one city left of humanity.
However, the formula for the zombie virus was still developed, and God once again favored this planet.
…
Ning Buwen looked at this book of modern history and almost thought he was reading a novel written by some unknown author.
This is not history, it is clearly the history of human extinction!
When you count them carefully, it seems that the people in this world have hardly enjoyed much peace, but have instead suffered all kinds of hardships.
"According to the latest statistics, the number of humans in this world is 1.6 million, which is not even as large as a small garrison of our army." Cheng Yuxue helped Ning Buwen close the book in his hand. "You are right. This history of how humans became extinct was all created by us, the players of Pandora."
I don't know what to say if I don't ask.
If you match these time nodes with the players in previous eras, they can all match one by one.
There are no such coincidences in the world.
And Cheng Yuxue would not do anything without a purpose.
I just wouldn't ask myself and wouldn't want to believe it.
Before coming to the library, Ning Buwen was still curious about why people in this world enjoyed their lives so much and why there were no mechanical creations here. Shouldn't this be a world of technological civilization? Why were there basically no machines to be seen
The answer can be found in this history book.
Because people in this world have suffered too many hardships.
In their limited lives, they can rarely enjoy peace. They may be fine today, but tomorrow they may encounter another crisis and lose their lives.
This sense of insecurity is ingrained in the bones of the people in this world.
Therefore, they believe in enjoying life.
They don't care about fame or fortune.
Compared with material things, they pay more attention to spiritual satisfaction.
From a certain perspective, all the people in this world are patients. They all suffer from some kind of mental illness, which is why they behave so abnormally.
And the people who make them sick are these players.
Cheng Yuxue took Ning Buwen's hand and walked out of the library.
Ning didn't ask and just let him pull her.
He thought the ultimate copy was too simple.
The copy of technological civilization is the safest among the seven copies, and it can also be said to be the simplest, because players all know how to destroy this world.
Destruction is always easier than maintenance.
But from another perspective, this is also the most difficult.
The difficulty lies in the fact that many people are unable to do this personally, and the difficulty lies in the fact that many of the players in this copy later became survivors.
Even someone like Cheng Yuxue, who had died countless times, found it hard to bear.
"Almost all of the friends I met in the past who came to this instance with me are dead." Cheng Yuxue said slowly, "They didn't die from anything else, but from suicide."
How ridiculous.
A player who reaches the ultimate copy would actually choose to commit suicide
But that's the fact.
Not everyone can bear such responsibility and guilt.
Ning Buwen held Cheng Yuxue's hand tightly.
"In this world, I have failed twice in a row." Cheng Yuxue's eyes met Ning Buwen's. "Do you know what this means?"
"It means that you have faced at least two extinction crises in that history book." Ning Bu Wen answered with difficulty. He certainly knew what Cheng Yuxue meant.
Cheng Yuxue's hands were terribly cold.
"Yes, once I started a war, and another time I released a virus." Cheng Yuxue spoke the cruel truth in a nonchalant tone. Only his increasingly paler face showed that something was wrong with him.
"Sometimes, I also think that it is normal for someone like me to become crazy."
Although Cheng Yuxue is arrogant, he never kills innocent people.
He likes to enjoy himself, but he won't make things too difficult for others.
Ning Buwen always felt that there was no one in the world who was more principled than Cheng Yuxue. He was so principled that even though they were already an old married couple, Cheng Yuxue would often stop talking halfway through, which made Ning Buwen very angry.
But in the ultimate copy, Cheng Yuxue's principles were forced to break.
And the person who broke the principle was himself.
Ning Buwen couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"You may not believe this, but my wish is world peace."
He could still vividly remember what Cheng Yuxue had said to him at the beginning, but compared with the current situation and the contents of that history book, it made him inevitably feel a chill in his heart.
What Cheng Yuxue had experienced was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
Pandora really understands human psychology to the extreme.
Their copies are caused by the sins of mankind.
If they want to pass the ultimate copy, they need to create new sins.
Perhaps what they are doing to this world now may not necessarily become the source of the next Pandora copy.
Are humans selfish
Yes.
You can see this from this history book.
Generation after generation of players who have opened the ultimate copy eventually try to destroy the world and bring the end of the world to it.
However, they all failed.
What made them fail was not the process or method, nor was it because they were not ruthless enough. It was because they were all human beings, and their vitality would always become more resilient in extremely difficult environments.
If you are sick, donate your body and let medical personnel study the disease.
If there is a war, we should protect our homes with the intention of defending our country.
There are strange beasts, and everyone has trained themselves to fight them. Even a large number of ants can kill an elephant.
If there are zombies, after being bitten by a zombie, he will decisively grind himself to dust to prevent the possibility of becoming a zombie.
In peacetime, humans would fight and kill each other for the slightest gains. But in difficult times, they can unite as one, be selfless, and put their own safety last.
Just like players want to clear the ultimate copy to redeem the earth and protect their homes, humans in this world are also doing their best to protect their world.
They didn't lose to Pandora.
It was the people who lost to this copy world.
The author has something to say: This dungeon is not about how to pass the level, but more about some of the pitfalls and foreshadowings that have not been resolved in the early stages~~~~
