"Oh my God, look!"
In Egypt, at the bottom of the inverted pyramid hidden underground, a group of mercenaries of various colors stared dumbly at the scene in front of them.
On a high silver platform made of five-sided, step-like carvings with complex patterns that could not be seen, the pharaoh's golden coffin was placed quietly.
However, what is shocking is that there is a golden scepter suspended in the air above the golden coffin.
The head of the staff is a cobra head, which symbolized the guardian of the Pharaoh in ancient Egypt, and the right eye of the snake head looks like it is made of gems, with a faint green light.
"Developed!"
A young Asian mixed-race man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and holding an archaeological toolbox in his hand, his eyes shining, looked at the golden snake scepter on the stage and murmured.
His identity is not a mercenary, but one of the assistants of the archaeologist hired by the Saudi millionaire at a large price for this operation. He holds dual doctorates in archeology and architecture from Stanford University in the United States.
His mentor is the world's top archaeological authority, Professor Smith, who teaches at many schools in Harvard and Oxford.
The Saudi tycoon, with two million US dollars and the lure of fame, made the professor agree to explore this underground pyramid with mercenaries that had never been entered before.
"Professor Smith, what are you looking at?"
Feng Luo observed the entire "main tomb chamber" with a gun and confirmed that there was nothing unusual except for the strange floating cobra scepter.
However, the "authoritative expert" next to him was squatting in the corner with a surprised look on his face, using the bright flashlight in his hand to look at the vague words and abstract paintings on the wall that had been eroded by time.
"Strange, strange... Many of these characters are not ancient Egyptian characters at all, either in terms of structure or glyphs... In fact, they don't even look like any kind of characters known on earth..."
Professor Smith was muttering to himself, his face looking both excited and confused.
"Oh, there are instructions in ancient Egyptian here. Let me take a look..."
"Well, this high platform is a sacred object given by the gods to the eternal and supreme Pharaoh. It can give the Pharaoh unparalleled power, immortality, and eternal domination of the land of Egypt..."
"Immortality? Who would believe such nonsense!"
A tall Russian bearded mercenary said in broken English with disdain.
For a mercenary with his head in his pants, the idea of not dying is a completely ironic joke.
"Oh, those pharaohs who will never die have been turned into mummies and displayed in museums. Maybe one day there will be fake corpses like in "Night at the Museum"!"
The bearded mercenary continued to mock.
"The people of ancient Egypt believed deeply in gods. They believed that the souls of people would not disappear after death, but would attach to their bodies, so they mummified the dead pharaohs, thinking that this would make him 'immortal.' Even in In myths and legends, there is also talk of resurrection in the underworld.”
"And in order to prevent tombs from being robbed, pharaohs usually carve vicious curses on their tombs!"
Professor Smith, like most experts and scholars, is always enthusiastic when talking about professional knowledge to laypeople.
"Look. The meaning of this ancient Egyptian sentence is: 'Whoever disturbs the peace of the great Pharaoh will be sent to the distant hell and never be reincarnated'!"
As he spoke, he pointed to another sentence on the wall and translated it.
But at this moment, he squinted his eyes and saw his Asian assistant, Witte, with his eyes shining, walking up to the high platform step by step, wearing work gloves and touching the floating golden scepter.
Smith's face immediately became frightened and he shouted hurriedly.
"Witt! Wait, don't move yet."
…
"Oh my God, the pyramid is collapsing!"
"We're dead!
The bearded Russian mercenary looked desperately at the huge stone tower bricks above his head that were beginning to loosen, and the entire pyramid that seemed to be shaking violently.
The depth of this pyramid is more than 200 meters underground, even far exceeding the original height of the world's largest surface pyramid of Khufu.
It's more than 200 meters underground. How could you escape under such circumstances
No one can survive!
The curse of the Pharaoh!
…
"ah!"
A young Asian man named Witt, who was a double-PhD candidate at a world-famous university, was smashed into a pulp by a boulder falling from above, and died on the edge of a five-square staircase.
And the golden cobra scepter he was holding in his hand suddenly fell out of his hand.
"Snapped!"
The cobra scepter that fell to the ground bounced a few times, and the left eye that was emitting green light was knocked out and flew towards Feng Luo, who was huddled in the corner to avoid falling rocks.
Feng Luo subconsciously reached out and grabbed it.
Then, the green light in the sight became brighter, and things changed and the stars moved.
…
In the consciousness of Feng Luo's mind, Feng Luo's thoughts were in chaos.
In reality, something strange happened to the body of the game cabin at this time. The originally silver-white interior of the game cabin was now illuminated clear and bright by a light green luster.
Upon closer inspection, the source of the green light was the necklace he wore around his neck. To be precise, the pendant of the necklace was an eyeball the size of a knuckle.
…
When Feng Luo opened his eyes, he was already on the "Grey Wing" cruise ship, and he was still in the laboratory on the ship.
His body was stripped of all his clothes, leaving only his underwear lying on a metal experimental table, with many instruments connected around his body.
"Damn, Lao Feng, you finally woke up!"
The big pineapple beside him was staring intently at Lin's 34D breasts, which was concentrating on detecting data. He turned around after hearing Feng Luo's groan when he woke up.
"What's wrong with me?"
Feng Luo looked at Big Pineapple in confusion.
"Due to the interaction and fusion between the evolved virus and the genetic agent, it probably caused some stimulation, so your body spontaneously adopted the self-protection method of fainting."
It was Lin who answered. She and Ekko were wearing full protective suits and looked at the experimental data on the instrument with happy faces.
"And the condition of your body is really beyond our expectations. The cells are perfectly integrated with the mutated evolved virus. This should be due to Lin's previous risk of injecting you with WM-2 genetic medicine, but more importantly, it's you yourself. The reason for the special characteristics of body cells."
Ek's tone was very excited.
"Your data can definitely help me advance the research on the 'W' series of evolved viruses!"
Lin raised her black-rimmed glasses, her tone couldn't help but be a little excited.
"W" series of evolutionary viruses
Feng Luo remembered that one of the hidden tasks he seemed to have taken was to help Lin improve the research on the "W" series of viruses.
So, your coma is due to the fusion of viruses
But that’s not right. Players in the game will indeed experience coma, sleep, etc. due to various reasons to cooperate with the development of the plot.
However, in this case, the actual player will not actually be unconscious, but the character cannot move. The player himself can actually choose to watch the show on the side at this time, or go out to attend forums or watch movies like when taking transportation.
However, he had no memory of the game just now. He was obviously in a coma, and he even seemed to vaguely recall what happened before the time travel.
Isn't this too strange
"Lao Feng, how do you feel now? You seemed to have really fainted just now!"
Big Pineapple asked Feng Luo in a low voice through the team channel. When they were in team mode before, they discovered that Feng Luo was not just in a game coma.
“I found on the forum that because this game achieves 100% realism by stimulating the human body’s nerves, a small number of players have experienced fainting reactions while playing the game, but most of them have nothing to do with it. The side effects are just a matter of adaptability.”
"I... should be fine!"
Seeing Big Pineapple's concerned expression, Feng Luo replied.
Although Big Pineapple is sometimes unreliable and glib, he is still very good as a friend and is not hypocritical.
But I guess Big Pineapple's words can be regarded as an explanation for his situation just now. He has also heard the official explanation for this situation, saying that it is due to the adaptability of individual players.
This is a bit like how some people were dizzy from 3D games in the keyboard and mouse era on earth, but they can get used to it as long as they play for a long time.
The essence of this kind of virtual game is to stimulate the human body's sensory nerves through various methods and frequencies. Maybe the reaction of virus fusion in this game happened to stimulate one of his sensitive nerves
Fortunately, this kind of stimulation does not seem to have any side effects. He even feels that he is in a better mental state now than at any time, and he seems to see things more clearly!
Maybe it was because I was really tired from the two consecutive days of missions and battles, so I felt refreshed after taking a nap.
With this in mind, Feng Luo did not listen to the two NPCs nagging the "scientific conclusions" of the game in his ears. Instead, he looked directly at the system log, and then his eyes widened involuntarily.
"Congratulations, you have awakened your second talent - evolution."
[Evolution (Talent)]
During the game, the physical attributes can be permanently enhanced under some special circumstances, and can only be increased once under the same circumstances.
Overall rating: S!
PS, this chapter was written with some trepidation, because in a sense, this setting may make pure gamers dislike it.
However, the foreshadowing about time travel has actually been laid in the third chapter, so it will always be revealed, and this chapter can be regarded as some revelations.
In addition, there is no need to worry that this book will turn into a "game alien world" novel. In fact, "War Chronicles" is just a virtual game, but it has some special features, which will be revealed later.
In addition, the emergence of the second talent is also because some friends feel that the protagonist's current talent is too weak, so they want to try another trick. Although the author thinks that the protagonist's talent is already good, there must be a process to become stronger.
Finally, this is the first time in this book that I ask for recommendations and collections in the chapters. I hope you will support me a lot!
