Because of the accident just now, both of them were a little embarrassed, and Bai Duan didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Xie Yan didn't intend to "take advantage of the victory" at this time - after all, as a fat man with a low self-esteem, he knew himself well in everyone. There is an instinctive cowardice in front of the real people. Unless you really succeed in losing weight, it is definitely impossible to actively express your heart. What's more, he has just come out of a relationship injury, and "transferring love" to fall in love with another person so quickly is obviously inconsistent with "reality".
Silently sighing with regret, Xie Yan got up from the snow, patted the snow foam on his body, and pretended to try his best to pretend that nothing happened just now, so clumsily concealing his panic and embarrassment, Even his tone became stammered, and he couldn't find anything to say: "Ahead, that ruin is probably... our destination—go see it?"
"...Okay." Seeing Xie Yan's evasive attitude, Bai Duan didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or feel a little disappointed, but she could only nod along with him, and followed him towards the ruins not far away .
The ruins looked quite grand, not inferior to the main cities of the monster race and the human race, and it was unknown who built such a large building in such an inaccessible and dangerous place, and then left it deserted.
Pushing open the heavy door made of unknown material, Bai Duan felt that the temperature inside the ruins was much colder than outside, so he shrank his neck involuntarily, in exchange for Xie Yan's concerned glance.
As soon as he noticed Xie Yan's gaze, Bai Duan couldn't help thinking of the "accident" of the kiss just now, and quickly turned his head aside, and complained in a low voice: "I remember that we were not tracking down the murderer in the first place? How did you step by step...become a relic explorer?"
"...Who knows, this task chain is twists and turns. It seems that the hermit who was killed has been living in seclusion all the time to find the ruins. He did find clues and was killed by other people who were also interested in the ruins." It is." Xie Yan recalled for a moment, "And we also found clues while tracking down the murderer, so we came to this ghost place to find out."
— After all, as long as it is a task, it is for the player to do it, so no matter how many things other NPCs have detected, they can only make wedding clothes for others in the end, which is all cheaper for the player.
After probably clearing things up, Bai Duan nodded: "Then where exactly is this place?" He deftly dodged the mobs attacking from the dark, and left it to the lethal Xie Yan to deal with, while he carefully identified it himself. The looming reliefs on both sides of the passage—these reliefs, since they were made, obviously have a meaning.
After a while, Bai Duan stopped in his tracks and pointed to the wall on his left: "Here... the carvings should be of various races of the Yaozu, and they seem to be gathering? And here..." He looked at the wall on the right , "It's the human race."
Xie Yan cleaned up the last mob, and followed Bai Duan's instructions: "Well, it's the various professions of the human race, swordsman, assassin, Taoist..."
"However, the reliefs depicting human races and demon races only account for a small part." Bai Duan took a few steps forward and looked at the reliefs that were divided into two pictures by a huge pillar, "The carvings here are a bit like The monster race, but they are a little different—they all have wings, and although the monster race retains some inhuman features, I haven't heard of any kind of monster race with wings."
"It's the same here." Xie Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and raised his hand to clean up the dust and ice debris on the relief, "The characters here look similar to humans, but judging from the details of the carvings, there is something A...transparent feeling, maybe it's a ghost race?"
Bai Duan and Xie Yan looked at each other in blank dismay, because "Myriad Realms" currently only has two camps, the Human Race and the Monster Race, and they have never heard of the Ghost Race or any Feather Race.
"This ruin is probably paving the way for future updates of the game? After all, judging from the name "Myriad Realms", we can understand the game company's ambitions for this game-they will definitely not be limited to humans and monsters. Two races, and only relying on the two races of humans and monsters, they can't support the name 'Wanjie'." Xie Yan finally shrugged his shoulders and came to a conclusion.
Bai Duan silently nodded and accepted the statement: "So what? This ruin was jointly established by all races? Then what is the meaning of its existence?"
— Xie Yan couldn't answer this question, so he could only continue to explore.
The entire ruins are quite huge, although most of them have collapsed due to years of disrepair, but the rest is enough for Bai Duan and Xie Yan to explore for a long time.
The deeper they went, the more determined the two of them were in their previous guess—this place should have been jointly established by many races, and the reason seemed to be... to sacrifice a certain existence.
Finally, they stopped before a frozen gate.
The door was tightly closed, and a thick layer of ice covered it, and it seemed that there was no way to melt it. Bai Duan walked to the door, and just about to touch it tentatively, he found a line of writing gradually appeared in front of his eyes-"This place is being sealed by some powerful force, and there is no way to unlock the seal for the time being, maybe you need to go through Check back some time."
Bai Duan twitched the corner of her mouth, turned her head to look at Xie Yan speechlessly: "What the hell is this?"
"...system prompt?" Xie Yan was also a little bit dumbfounded - "Myriad Realms" game strives to be true, everything depends on the player to explore and find, this is the first time he has seen such... an abrupt and weird system prompt, it seems to be to inform the player What was added in a hurry because the road didn't work out was extremely lacking in sincerity.
Walking two steps forward, Xie Yan squinted at the ice layer on the door, the surrounding real game world instantly turned into program characters in his eyes, and on that layer of ice layer, he saw a handful of An extremely complicated and difficult program lock, which firmly locks the next step of the task.
To be able to create such a highly simulated and large-scale game, the technology of the game company should not be underestimated. It can be said that this program lock can lock most people in this world out—but it can't help Xie Yan.
Xie Yan is an old driver who has traveled through many worlds. He has been in contact with civilizations that are more high-tech than this world, and his favorite method is hacking.
After tasting the sweetness of this method for the first time, Xie Yan knew the taste and could not stop at all. With continuous learning and practice, his level naturally improved by leaps and bounds-although it was not obvious, as long as the task world With the existence of the Internet, he can use it to obtain infinite benefits, and complete the counterattack goal quickly and conveniently.
Therefore, this program lock is not enough to stop him. Although Xie Yan did not intend to embarrass the game company, but he has worked so hard to get to this point and only got such a result. No matter who he is, he will feel unwilling and dissatisfied—more What's more, he can't see his sweetheart's sad and depressed appearance, so he has to show his ability at such a "critical moment" in order to win the favor of his lover.
"This door is locked by the program, but I have a way to open it—shall we open it and see?" Xie Yan looked at Bai Duan hesitantly.
Hearing Xie Yan's words, Bai Duan's eyes lit up, he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was afraid of chaos in the world, and he was really curious about what was inside the door, so he couldn't help but feel a little eager to move.
—If you want to blame, blame the relief murals in this ruins! It revealed too much information about other races, which completely aroused Bai Duan's curiosity. Even though there was an old saying that "curiosity killed the cat", he still wanted to find out.
"If you can open it... Let's try?" He suggested, looking at Xie Yan excitedly.
Xie Yan was overwhelmed by his lover's expectant eyes, and naturally agreed without hesitation.
This virtual world is made up of consciousness, so it can naturally be destroyed by consciousness. Xie Yan spread out his mental power, condensed it into small bundles, and invaded the program lock. Under the fiddling of Xie Yan's mental power, the program lock constantly changed its shape, and was analyzed layer by layer. Soon, the party in charge of monitoring the program lock also responded, and began to try to prevent Xie Yan's intrusion and analysis, but Unexpectedly, Xie Yan's skills were superior, and while avoiding the blockade with ease, he also resisted the other party's changes to the program lock.
The only pity is that this top-notch programming competition was silent. Bai Duan was watching, but Xie Yan could only see that Xie Yan was staring at the ice door without any movement. If his eyes were not focused and serious, I'm afraid Bai Duan would think that he was in a daze.
The contest between mental power and program chain seems to be long, but in fact it is just a snap of the fingers. Soon, Xie Yan showed a triumphant smile, and at the same time, the ice layer on the gate also cracked and shattered, turning into little ice crystals and dissipating in the air.
"Successful?!" Bai Duan's eyes widened in astonishment, looking at Xie Yan full of shock and admiration.
He is not stupid, he naturally knows that the game company made this layer of ice, since Xie Yan can unlock the program lock set by the game company's high-end talents, it means that his strength is definitely not inferior to it—although Bai Duan is very good at this I didn't do much research on it, and I didn't know that Xie Yan not only unlocked the program lock, but also competed with the opponent by the way, but this was enough for him to admire and admire.
Of course, while admiring, Bai Duan still had some sweet joy in his heart, and he, who had been doubting his own aesthetics, became more calm about the fact that he fell in love with Xie Yan.
After all, although the person he likes is not good-looking, he has a good personality, good cooking skills, gentleness and consideration, and is also a technology emperor. Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem strange that he likes him.
— Or, doesn't this just prove that he is not the type of person who "judges people by their appearance", and that he values Xie Yan's inner nature and talent more than his appearance? !
…Well, as long as one ignores the contradiction that Bai Duan fell in love with Xie Yan before he knew these advantages (?), this period of self-deceiving self-consolation like an afterthought can be fully scored!
