When the school bus stopped at the terminal, Wen Zheliu's head was full of black lines and he was flipping through a book of 53 in his hand.
The car full of people walked down chatting and laughing. Xie Yuanyuan squinted his eyes and yawned so sleepily that he didn't even want to drink medicine. He just waited to go back to the hotel's fixed suite and have a good sleep. He Qin grabbed Wen Zhe. Liu's hand: "Classmate, stop looking, it's time to get off the car."
"Ah... ah? Ah." Wen Zheliu came to his senses and went out with the heresy trial in front. Before he could raise his head, he heard the noise of people coming from below, and the laughter of the otakus was also silenced. Son.
"how… "
Wen Zheliu raised his eyes and suddenly froze.
As the number one team in the Uncanny Valley, No One Sleeps is naturally a bit privileged. After being watched by many players in the previous world, they applied for a separate passage and could go directly to their hotel suite from the sky corridor.
Now, they are standing on the plank road high in the sky. The huge city below is bustling with people and bustling, but in the distance, the huge city gate leading to the next world has two lines of light golden data flowing straight to the sky. Above it is written Author:
"The system is being monitored and upgraded, please wait for notification."
"Supervision... upgrade?" Wen Zheliu said in disbelief, "What is this?"
"Ah!" Xie Yuanyuan shouted again, "We fell from first place! Ah, how could this happen!"
Wen Zheliu turned his head and saw the towers in the center of the city.
No.1: Rong of the World, clearance time is 108 hours, 30 minutes and 42 seconds, collection achievements: full plot achievements
His heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The Rong of the world... The fire of the world, Li Rong.
His eyes quickly glanced down until he saw the eighth number, and then he found his name.
No.8: Wen Di, the clearance time is 108 hours, 35 minutes and 39 seconds, collection achievements: full plot achievements
No.9: He Qin, the clearance time is 108 hours, 35 minutes and 39 seconds, collection achievements: full plot achievements
No.10: Leng Ao and Kuangye, the clearance time is 108 hours, 35 minutes and 41 seconds, collection achievements: full plot achievements
No.11: Little Transparent also has spring, the clearance time is 108 hours, 35 minutes and 43 seconds, collection achievements: full plot achievements
In the overall group ranking, there is actually one person who fell out of the top ten...
"What's going on?" Wen Zheliu was also shocked, "This time..."
He Qin patted his head comfortingly: "It takes longer to clear the customs than other parents. It's okay to fall behind. Don't feel sad."
Du Zijun bit his cigarette holder irritably: "Damn it, it's embarrassing enough not to be in the top five because of that bad name, but this time I was even squeezed out..."
After hearing this, the Heresy Tribunal, which had always been hanging behind a hundred people, did not dare to say anything, and could only silently lick lemons in circles in its heart.jpg.
"Hey, wait a minute," Xie Yuanyuan suddenly discovered something, "Look at the fifth and sixth placers. They took longer than us. Why are they in front of us?!"
Wen Zheliu looked over carefully and frowned.
No.5: Hati, the clearance time is 108 hours, 47 minutes and 48 seconds, collection achievements: full plot achievements
No.6: Skull, the clearance time is 108 hours, 47 minutes and 48 seconds, collection achievements: full plot achievements
12 minutes longer than them
Those two blue letters with golden light reflected colorful flashes in He Qin's eyes. He laughed softly, seeming to find it very interesting: "Skull, and Hattie?"
Wen Zheliu also felt something was wrong, and he pondered: "These two names... Why do they feel like they are from the same series as Garm?"
"The twins of the giant wolf Fenrir in Norse mythology, the two wolves that devoured the sun and the moon." He Qin said solemnly, "It seems that they have really gathered all the old troops."
"Ah, are these two people from Muspelheim too?" Xie Yuanyuan said in surprise, "Damn it, they are so long behind us, but they can still steal our place!"
"Don't you n-star set up some kind of inspection team here to compete with the Holy Sisters?" Du Zijun said with an ugly face, "You can cover the sky with one hand."
"In principle, no world in Nova City will interfere with the actions of the mastermind, and the Uncanny Valley is no exception. The only thing that can balance it is a module set in her main program to ensure that she has absolutely fair and just Character." He Qin gave a bitter smile, "However, I have been arrested, do you still expect justice from heaven?"
What happens next is not something the Inquisition can know. The four of them said goodbye to Hua Ying and the others, and discussed while walking to the suite.
Du Zijun asked: "Then there is no channel for complaints and feedback? What does this mean? All achievements are also unlocked. Those two birdmen are twelve minutes behind us. How come they are ahead of us?"
Wen Zheliu thought: "If we have to say why, it is probably because we use too many high-level props. It may have destroyed the balance of the game... I can't say for sure."
Two world-class bosses, an S-class summoning item, plus a He Qin, all kinds of B+-class equipment are thrown out as if they are free, and weapons and armor with attributes and levels such as singing on the day of great sorrow and Sabbath are thrown away Just four or five pieces. Even though the fifth world is about to break through, there are still many small teams or idle players who do not have a powerful item related to A in their hands, and even B+ level rarely have the opportunity to touch it.
What's more, there aren't many decrypted parts of the Fourth World. They are just like four golden rich people who almost spent money to get there. It is probably this that has lowered their ranking weight.
The whole team was silent for a long time, and Du Zijun said unwillingly: "Then we have to make it clear to the Holy Sister, right? It doesn't matter if our score is low, what's going on with that Gam? The third world comes, the fourth world comes again, He Rui is like this Isn’t that called destroying the balance of the game?”
He Qin sighed: "You guys can rest later and I'll go find the Holy Sister."
Wen Zheliu didn't say anything, but silently wrapped his fingers tightly around He Qin's.
"Baby, be good." He Qin stood in front of the door of the suite and kissed Wen Zheliu on the forehead. "I'll be back soon. I won't delay for too long. Don't be afraid."
Wen Zheliu bit the soft flesh on the inside of her lip and reluctantly let go of her fingers one by one. She watched him wave to her, then turned around and left, slowly walking further and further away.
Even though the infatuated species can sense each other's existence, Wen Zheliu still feels uneasy and worried about "He Qin going to see the Holy Sister" from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, his optical brain suddenly rang. Wen Zheliu picked it up and saw that it was Bai Jingxing.
He hurriedly walked to the room and lip-synced with the two people. After agreeing to the communication request, Bai Jingxing's image immediately appeared on the screen.
He was wearing a pure black suit, elegant gold-rimmed glasses, and wore wrist-length black gloves. He was so formal, which surprised the three of them.
"Brother Bai," Wen Zheliu said, "Long time no see."
"Actually, it's only five days," Bai Jingxing said with a smile, "But since we both stayed in the fourth world for several nights, it can be said that we haven't seen each other for one day, just like three autumns."
"You have something to say," Du Zijun said indifferently, "What's wrong? Looking at you like this, what kind of meeting did you come back from?"
Bai Jingxing stopped smiling. He pinched the bridge of his nose because of a headache. Liao Binglu, who was also wearing a smart skirt next to him, took over the conversation and said, "You must have seen that the gate to the fifth world is blocked."
Wen Zheliu nodded: "Yes, I saw it. The supervision has been upgraded. This is unprecedented."
"Out of consideration for Mr. He's identity, I have reason to believe that his understanding of the Holy Nun is deeper than God's creation, better than the fire of the world, and better than every player in the Uncanny Valley," Bai Jingxing said, "So, Can I take the liberty of asking what his opinion is on this matter?"
There is no airtight wall in the world, not to mention that He Qin himself did not deliberately hide anything. Therefore, as the game levels progressed, his identity was no longer a secret among the senior leaders of some large groups. Wen Zheliu shook his head: "Unfortunately, he just left to find the Holy Sister and is not here now, so the opinion you want, I'm afraid..."
"It doesn't matter if he's not here." Bai Jingxing said, "You and him are one, and it's the same if I ask you."
Wen Zheliu couldn't help but smile: "My opinion? Can I ask, did you come up with any decision-making policies through the meeting?"
Bai Jingxing smiled. He took off his gloves and opened a tube of stamina supplement. Even with the cover of his glasses, Wen Zheliu could still see a circle of black and blue under his eyes.
"I just came back after working so hard, and just because of this stupid thing, I was dragged over to analyze it for a long time by Li Rong." He stretched himself hard, slumped on the leather sofa, and said feebly: "What's the use of just analysis? Sometimes people in the industry Isn’t that one sentence more useful than just thinking blindly for a long time?”
Du Zijun reached out and dusted off the cigarette ashes in the ashtray on the table, and said coldly: "So, what is the conclusion you have drawn from your analysis now?"
Bai Jingxing didn't say anything, and Liao Binglu said, "The power of the holy nun is expanding rapidly."
"Yes," Wen Zheliu somewhat agreed, "From the meaning of the word upgrade, the most direct conclusion should be this, but how can you be sure?"
"The passage from the upper level to the lower level has been opened. Every day, a large number of group members go down to check in and complete tasks. Naturally, our unique news channel can be created." Bai Jingxing sat up like a carp and pointed a finger at the camera, " According to our observations, the number of new people entering the first world is increasing at an abnormal rate."
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
Wen Zheliu's eyebrows jumped. This information coincided with the news Jenny told him, and it happened to hit the most worrying part of his heart.
On the surface, though, he remained calm.
"Well," he nodded, "then, what does this mean?"
Bai Jingxing was a little anxious: "Hey, don't try to trick me. You are so smart, you don't think for yourself?"
The scarlet cigarette butt was clearly extinguished between Du Zijun's fingers, and he went straight to the point: "Are you trying to say that the power of the Holy Nun is eroding the real world, and even players who have never purchased the Uncanny Valley are being dragged here by her?"
"Yes." Liao Binglu nodded, "As a growing AI, I'm afraid that the defense line set up by n-star company has long been unable to stop her. With the influx of newcomers who don't know anything about anything, we have reason to suspect that she has invaded again. In the real world—just like she did in the beginning."
Wen Zheliu smiled, and the curve of the corner of his mouth was bitter: "So, you are looking for my brother just to verify whether this conjecture is reliable?"
"Otherwise, what else can we do?" Bai Jingxing waved his hands carelessly, "We can't stop what the Holy Sister wants to do now. We can only confirm the news and get through quickly."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but lean forward curiously and asked: "Speaking of which, what happened to you this time? You are tired for the first time in ten thousand years and want to come down for a walk and observe the sentiments of the people?"
When he said this, Wen Zheliu stopped laughing. He said vaguely: "It will destroy the balance of the game, probably."
"Okay, okay, stop it, stop talking." Bai Jingxing poked the palm of his left hand with the index finger of his right hand, "I can imagine how you destroyed it. So, is this why Brother He went to find the Holy Sister?"
"No," Wen Zheliu replied, "He is doing it for Muspelheim. We are in the fourth world, and they also encountered their people causing trouble."
Bai Jingxing sighed, also looking like he had a headache.
"Muspelheim, Muspelheim again." He tugged on his tie irritably, "Their people are really like cancer running around the world now. To fight other players, either turn on the massacre mode, or If you don't turn on the defection mode, you'll either be a murderer or a gangster, not only the other big groups, but also a few of my subordinates."
"Is there such a thing?" Xie Yuanyuan was a little surprised. He thought that only No One Sleeping had this honor.
"A team like this is so inhumane that it will definitely get support from some weird people. The supporters of Muspelheim are the most troublesome." Bai Jingxing poured out his bitterness to them, "The people on your team We are both small and capable, so we can just break through and be done with it. As for us, the members of the group have suffered a loss, so we have to go up and seek justice, and who can we reason with?"
Wen Zheliu was amused and said, "You can wait a little longer until my brother comes back and let him tell you the Holy Sister's answer."
"That would be great." Bai Jingxing said, "We can wait."
Not long after, He Qin came back.
He was not surprised to see Bai Jingxing. He said hello first, and then said: "Are you asking about the temporary closure of the fifth world, or about the constant harassment in Muspelheim?"
Bai Jingxing said: "If I say, it's both..."
"The first thing you don't need to ask is what you think." He Qin said calmly, "If you put aside your selfishness and don't use this pointless information in exchange for your own interests, it doesn't matter if I tell you."
Bai Jingxing and Liao Binglu looked solemn. He nodded and said softly: "That's it..."
"As for the second thing," He Qin leaned next to Wen Zheliu and showed a sarcastic smile, "The answer the Holy Sister gave me was that at that time, Muspelheim was creating a pattern of massacre and defection in the third world. Because their clearance scores at that time were invalidated, and the new clearance opportunities given to them as compensation have not been used yet, so before they clear the third world again... "
He emphasized his tone: "... Her promise will not change. All members of Muspelheim have the right to travel in any world."
