"Zhongxia." Wang Ningwei's sweet voice on the phone came from the receiver.
"Um?"
Fortunately, he usually listens to Antinoya's advice, otherwise Zhao Xu would feel a little unable to resist this pure voice like first love.
"Can I trust you?"
This question made Zhao Xu a little confused as to what Wang Ningwei meant by being so cautious.
I secretly wonder if there is any conflict in the other person’s family and they need someone to resolve it.
"You chose to call me, didn't you already make the choice to trust me?"
Her clear laughter immediately came from the receiver, and Zhao Xu immediately understood that Wang Ningwei was not anxious about life.
"I obviously thought you were dull at the beginning. Although you were not smart, you were very reliable. Even if you are much smarter now, I still have to question your reliability." Wang Ningwei confided on the phone.
Take Zhao Xu's few experiences with girls.
Generally speaking, if the other party explains that he is not reliable if he suspects him, then he basically trusts him and waits for him to pat his chest to assure himself.
"I have always been me." Zhao Xu said, "It's not that I won't give up or sacrifice anything for this, but the price of conscience in my heart is very high."
Zhao Xu's logic is also very simple.
Just as someone bids a couple to break up and never see each other again, once they are rejected, the price will continue to increase tenfold, which means they may no longer bid at any time.
Zhao Xu may not always be able to refuse, but his "standard" of refusal is definitely higher than 99% of people.
"Guess then, why I don't use text to chat with you, but choose voice?" Wang Ningwei asked.
After hearing this, Zhao Xu's heart was filled with excitement, as if he had grasped the opportunity for today's phone call.
At this time, he looked at the two-dimensional poster on the corner. The girl's smile on it was still sweet.
At night, the howling evening breeze accompanied by the high-rise buildings accommodated by the empty buildings reminded him that he was already in a real world.
"Because text is easy to leave traces, and our voice is not easy to be monitored?"
Zhao Xu knew that all their chat records were backed up on the Internet. As long as anyone is interested, it can be traced back, especially in chat groups, even mentioning "keywords" will be monitored.
As for the "telephone voice", it is impossible for these two innocent people to be monitored.
As long as both parties do not record, there will be no trace left in this world.
The only thing that can be traced is the call records on the two people's mobile phones and the short line "outgoing and incoming records" in the communication company's call list.
"Ningwei, you are so serious, I suspect that you are planning to say goodbye to this world." Zhao Xu joked pointedly.
"snort."
Wang Ningwei immediately snorted, "You really know."
In an instant, Zhao Xu's heart felt like a string had broken, as if a sharp buzzing sound began to surround his cochlea.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that he shook his head and joked, "What do you mean?"
"I finally know what you meant when you said you would meet us offline at the end of June. Is that that time?" At this time, Zhao Xu just wanted to shout in his heart: Wang Ningwei, girls are too smart to marry. out.
"call-"
Suddenly, the sound of her breathing came from the receiver, long and sighing, "There are only three and a half months left. What should I do with this whole cabinet of figurines?"
"Well, as long as I find special resin and rely on the uncanny craftsmanship of the Five Rings, I can still reproduce these figures."
"That's the one I'm chasing. What should I do?"
After hearing these two sentences, Zhao Xu could only complain secretly, "Speaking of which, these are not the main point."
He immediately didn't care about leaking the secret, "If the world ended tomorrow, would you only care about these things?"
"These are the reasons why I want to live well in this world, Zhongxia." Suddenly Wang Ningwei's voice was a little strange, "When you are too smart and see through the motives and behaviors of people in this world, you will feel Everything is boring."
"If I don't find some hobbies for myself at this time, I will be bored to death. The idol stars on the screen have not lived their lives as thoroughly as I have, so I definitely don't care about them."
"On the contrary, paper figures are beautiful and simple, and you can like them without having to use your brain."
Zhao Xu originally wanted to ask about his family, but when he thought about it, if everyone traveled together, they would not be separated.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "You guessed that you were in the demiplane of Death?"
"Did you guess that Arthur is actually in a real world?"
"This is a guess, actually many times in the morning. When I came into contact with Mystra's magic teachings, I started from the entire theoretical level, just like the process of learning magic by local mages."
"That's when I noticed the amazing self-consistency and the extremely complex structure of the entire magic system."
"The system is huge, the logic is self-consistent, and the details are detailed. This is an 'impossible triangle' of game content."
Zhao Xu understood after listening.
This impossible triangle means that any game content can only achieve two of them. If you want the system to be large and logically self-consistent, it is impossible to be detailed and detailed, and vice versa.
Even if a game company has the intention of producing artworks and not wanting to recoup its costs, it will be difficult to achieve these three points at the same time.
"Relying on the entire magic system alone, Arthur can create a game by himself, and there is no need to expand the world view at all." Wang Ningwei explained, "From the beginning, it appeared so unreasonable."
"What about that demiplane of death? How do you know for sure?" Zhao Xu asked.
In fact, it is not difficult for him to guess the cause and effect.
They players came to Arthur and saw what the gods showed them.
Except that Arthur is extremely real and the world is magnificent and huge, it is difficult to regard anything else as evidence of the real existence of the world.
Only beyond the control point of the gods, where the gods cannot look, they cannot control what the players can see.
"It's very simple. We discovered it through the inconsistent flow rate of time in the plane."
Wang Ningwei said, "Although the time in the God of Death's demiplane is not very different from the earth's time. About one hour passes on the earth, and about 58 minutes pass in that half of the plane at the same time."
Zhao Xu was holding the phone at this time and couldn't help but admire: "So that's it. This one-thirtieth, or about 3% error, most people can't even notice. After spending ten hours in it, the difference between the two worlds is huge." The time is only about 20 minutes.”
"So although I know that 'time scale' is one of the attributes of the plane, there will be differences. Unless it is a several times difference, it is difficult to detect a few percent, and I did not discover this at the time. "
Zhao Xu nodded and sighed.
But more importantly, after all, in that demiplane of death, he didn't carry a watch or mobile phone that could measure time, nor did he pay special attention to his online and offline time and the subjective time inside.
"You judged it by looking at the countdown difference on the spell that lasted longer?" Zhao Xu asked.
However, generally when encountering this kind of problem, most players will only think it is an error, and will not realize that they are in another world with a slower time scale.
"This is very simple. As long as the scale is long enough and you are calm, you can estimate it by counting your heartbeats. Eswig and I did many experiments before we realized this."
Wang Ningwei's voice became a little deeper as she spoke.
"It's just that I didn't know about the possible destruction of the earth not long ago. However, what they told me was unclear. After much deliberation, I came to this conclusion."
"Who is it?" Zhao Xu was curious.
This is basically risking the disapproval of the world to reveal the truth.
Even Antinoya was bound by the "oath" when Arthur came to Earth. After she came to Earth, she was suppressed and weakened before she vaguely gave him a few words of advice.
"Os, the president of the Mage Association, entrusted me with my position as vice president of Falling Star Town."
At this moment, basically all the chains of speculation in Zhao Xu's mind were completed.
He couldn't help but be surprised, "Then what do you think in the end?"
"I want to ask, how to travel through time?"
"Everyone?"
"Can the player characters be synchronized?"
"Both are correct." Zhao Xu replied immediately.
"Well, Zhongxia, thank you, I owe you this."
Needless to say, both of them knew deep down what "both were right" meant.
Zhao Xu also cleared his throat. The whole room was dark without turning on the lights. Except for the light of the mobile phone, it relied on the faint light of the street lights in the neighborhood outside at night and the moonlight in the sky.
"The sky will be filled with meteors of fire, the crystal wall barrier will be broken down, and Arthur will usher in hundreds of millions of new people."
Zhao Xu silently spoke out the last of the prophecies of the seven former gods.
Suddenly the other end of the phone fell into silence.
After a long time, Wang Ningwei came back to her senses, "I was shocked just now. Isn't this a simple sentence?"
"That's right, at this time, Arthur's seven main gods prophesied that as long as they are the target candidates, they will be touched by the prophecy. Because we are the billions of people mentioned in the prophecy, as long as we are people on the earth who have traveled through time and heard this prophecy, Everyone will be touched." Zhao Xu explained.
This prophecy of the past life slowly spread in the years after people on earth traveled to Arthur.
The "touch" after hearing the prophecy encouraged the prophecy to spread.
In an instant, Wang Ningwei was on the other end of the phone, and an incredible voice came from, "So what did you just say?"
"Yes, I have just verified it through the 'prophecy', that is, even across the barrier of the universe, the power of prophecy is still effective on the earth."
"Zhongxia, you are really a good person."
It was also the first time that Wang Ningwei touched the back-up plan that Zhao Xu had laid out the moment he heard the prophecy -
"In other words, according to your plan, as long as we spread this prophecy just before the end of June, we can prove that Arthur really exists?"
