Zhao Xu's eyes fell directly on the countdown that had returned to zero. Several speculations ran through his mind, and he was a little uncertain for a while.
Zhao Xu did enjoy some extraordinary treatment while playing the game "Arthur", but these were basically obtained from the interaction between the characters in Arthur and him.
The only thing that exceeded the game mechanics was that he purchased a dual elite account with potential points on the first day, and then used the characteristics of the dual elites to continuously snowball.
In fact, double elites are also a burden for players in the early stage.
Because professional training itself takes a lot of time, if a player like Zhao Xu chooses the dual elite route of mage and priest, it may take two months to get out of the mountain.
In fact, two months later, there are basically very few test accounts left in the early stages of the game.
Only the few who have successfully snowballed are still nourishing their lives.
To log in or not to log in
At this time in the world, only people like Zhao Xu who know the inside story of Arthur are so entangled.
Because he was connected to a real world, he used the legendary energy transmission channel.
After two days of careful scrutiny of the magic circle on the mithril panel, Zhao Xu guessed the truth that was most consistent with the facts, even without any first-hand information.
In that mysterious research institute, when the senior researchers of the Mage Association activated the material transmission channels, they also affected the energy channels, directly interrupting the energy channels of all players on the earth who projected there.
I am afraid that 80% of the factors are because Zhao Xu is standing too close, and because he has enough spell slots and magic equipment, the aura intensity exceeds the limit.
Even Zhao Xu suspected that it was caused by the possessed Lux or even the fragment of his godhead.
Because these two situations were unexpected by the Mage Association.
In just a few seconds, after Zhao Xu considered seven or eight situations he would encounter, he resolutely clicked to log in.
As the confirmation button was pressed, Zhao Xu suddenly felt powerful fluctuations coming from the brain imaging helmet.
Colorful lights flashed continuously in his pupils, as if he had fallen into a pool filled with rainbow stars, and the strong visual impact of colors constantly covered his field of vision.
This strong stimulation immediately swept through his entire consciousness, causing him to fall asleep instantly.
At this time, Zhao Xu did not notice that in the identity information input interface on the upper level, there was a row of the current number of players online below.
The moment Zhao Xu logged in, the bright red and dazzling "0" jumped slightly and turned into a "1".
At this time, many players who also went to bed directly entered the movie immersion mode to watch movies.
There were a few who didn't give up and simply clicked all the way back into the game interface. They suddenly saw that the number of people online in the game was not 0, and they felt joyful.
I haven't felt it after playing it every day. Suddenly, I haven't played Arthur for a whole day, which has made many players a little uncomfortable.
A lot of soldiers on the forum complained that their combat skills were rusty.
But when this group of casual players entered the official login interface, what they saw was that the cooldown countdown was a cold 09:51:23.
Players who discovered this basically thought that they were just stuck, and those who reacted quickly went directly to find their game friends and try to log in.
Some even post on the forum to notify other players to verify.
Many players on the forum thought it was a boring prank at first glance. This scene of the wolf had teased many people in the past two days, and also caused the moderators to ban a number of rhythmic accounts.
Just seeing the "Current number of people online in the game: 1" in the screenshot of the post, some people still felt itchy and picked up the helmet to load the interface.
Then encountered the same encounter.
The authenticity of the screenshot of "Number of people online: 1" was immediately confirmed on the forum, and the focus also evolved from suspicion of PS to server display failure. Of course, some privileged conspiracy theories were also indispensable.
Ten hours before the official landing, there was a lot of fluctuations.
Many good players are guessing who is the real "1".
After Zhao Xu regained consciousness, he realized that the mysterious research site where he last disappeared was still in front of him.
The researchers and instruments at the site are still there, but there are fewer observers in the corridor on the second floor.
Compared with his memory from two days ago, Zhao Xu found that 70% to 80% of the people were still there.
However, the style and color of everyone's robes are slightly different, otherwise Zhao Xu would have thought that he was only offline for a while, not more than a day and a half.
That would lead him to guess a terrible result—the time in the two worlds is out of sync.
At this time, Zhao Xu realized that Antinoya was still standing in a similar position to before, and the other party also noticed his appearance.
In other words, all the researchers present, including all the mages in the corridor on the second floor, focused their attention on Zhao Xu, who had disappeared and then suddenly appeared.
I don't know why, but no one came forward to ask.
At this time, Zhao Xu is probably the most critical candidate when it comes to accidents in the experiment.
After paying attention for a few seconds, the researchers below resumed their busy work on the channel device below.
"Come back again?" At this time, Antinoya's spiritual connection voice came into Zhao Xu's mind.
"Did you guess that I would come back?" Zhao Xu asked immediately.
Naturally, it is impossible for these people to stay in this research place by such a coincidence for two days in a row.
Zhao Xu guessed that there was some unusual movement that prompted 70% to 80% of the observers to gather again.
Especially at this time, it was also late at night for Arthur, and everyone should have fallen asleep.
For mages who need rest to recover the consumed spell slots, they will implement the simple principle of going to bed early and getting up early.
After hearing Zhao Xu's rhetorical question, Antinoya smiled and replied, "Just over two hours ago, they informed that a small part of the energy channel had been temporarily restored. So we rushed over to see the situation."
Immediately afterwards, Antinoya also began to explain to Zhao Xu why he suddenly stopped and disappeared two days ago.
Basically it is consistent with what Zhao Xu guessed.
The only difference was that Antinoya explained to him more about the principles of the spell, and she also made Zhao Xu understand that the sudden disconnection was due to the "Time Rewind Talisman" on his body.
The "Time Rewind Talisman" itself points not to Arthur's spell, but to a nine-ring "psionic power".
However, "psychic powers" do not exist in Arthur's world. All psychic items, including the "energy-suppressing skin" on the back of Zhao Xu's hand, are products of other universes with psychic powers.
Naturally, Zhao Xu, who was wearing these two psychic items, invisibly contaminated the energy channel with the power of other universes, causing its stability to collapse.
"Originally, this material-energy transmission channel has taken measures to prevent psychic powers, but I didn't expect that you were wearing two psychic items, and one of them was particularly strong, so this omission occurred. However, This loophole has been closed, and even if you are a psychic now, you can still hold on." Antinoya explained.
"And the reason why you can enter Arthur's world in advance is naturally because we have made special optimizations to fix this loophole. The current channel is actually in a semi-incomplete state, and the official opening will have to be restarted at ten o'clock tomorrow. And you Because of optimization, I came in early.”
Hearing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but squint his eyes and look at the eight mithril panels. Was it even specially optimized for him
Generally, this kind of transmission channel has its own self-protection mechanism. If the player's mood swings too much, or some special means are used, the channel will automatically cut off the player's connection.
Now, Zhao Xu is equivalent to gaining greater authority on the original basis, which means he can be more "willful".
This kind of willfulness is equivalent to leaving a backdoor in advance for Zhao Xu to use this channel in the future.
"If you want to mess around, you have to tell me first." Antinoya looked at Zhao Xu staring at the mithril panel and immediately knew what the other person was thinking.
"Because if you act rashly, you may never come back." Antinoya said with a pun.
And Zhao Xu immediately understood what the other party meant.
That is to say, he in the game has the possibility to rely on this passage, bring this power back, and appear on the earth as a three-ring mage.
By then, he will undoubtedly be able to operate unscrupulously on the earth by relying on those three-ring spells, especially the spells of suggestion, charming humans, transformation, and detecting thoughts.
However, he will not be able to return to Arthur through normal login.
Because at that time, he was still sleeping on the bed in the dormitory on earth. And his soul materialized into the projection of a three-ring mage and appeared on the earth.
It's similar to the legendary nine-ring spell "Astral Projection" that allows the soul to possess a clone and go out on adventures.
It's just that the mage who casts "Astral Projection" can undo it on his own, but Zhao Xu, who smuggled his projection through the passage, had to let the projection smuggle back. Otherwise, the souls of those who commit suicide will not be able to return to the Temple of Creation.
"Teacher, what are they still studying down there?" Zhao Xu continued to ask.
"Let's study why the channel suddenly restarted automatically two hours ago." Antinoya said casually, "It was because suddenly there was a mysterious energy resonance between the two worlds, which directly caused the channel to form a semi-connected state. Originally, the channel was already in the process of being formally connected. Restart and wait for ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
"So everyone come here to study what kind of influence it is."
Two hours.
It was exactly two hours ago that this situation occurred in the passage, which made Antinoya and others come back.
However, Zhao Xu had an impression of this time.
That was the moment when Zheng Xinyun recited that prayer mantra, causing the divine power in his body to vibrate.
