"This time it came and went quickly."
Getting up from the sofa, Gu Moli first opened a bottle of mineral water, took a big gulp, and then began to check his earnings this time.
In short, I made a lot of money from this script.
"I spent two whole days struggling to complete the last main storyline in Shambhala. Not only did I have to fight with other players at the beginning, but I also had to fight a life-and-death battle with an oversized goddess at the end. In the end, I only got a mythical item. This time, I got another one just by chance."
If I had to use a vivid and impressive way to describe the difference in difficulty during the period.
Probably... ..
"The last script clearly took about forty chapters."
"This time it took less than ten chapters!"
Gu Moli muttered to himself as he opened his backpack and looked through the invitation letter from Plutarch's House. After thinking for a moment, he stood up again, took out a notebook from the drawer, picked up a ballpoint pen, and sat on the coffee table in front of the sofa to write and draw.
Gu Moli was already very tired from playing today, so he didn't plan to continue playing. It's not good to lose your ambition due to playing with things.
But it's relative.
He can also use his bedtime to do other things he has been wanting to do for a long time.
Putting the ballpoint pen on his chin, Gu Moli thought for a moment, then opened his notebook and wrote two big words.
myth
"There are only five card qualities so far, namely tattered, common, rare, perfect, and legendary. Logically speaking, legendary should be the limit."
"But so far, I have seen many items of Mythic quality. In a literal sense, Mythic quality should be even higher than Legendary. But in fact, cards of this quality cannot be drawn out. They can only be obtained through the game from within the script."
"Most of the scenarios involving mythical quality should be very difficult. If nothing else, it at least means that there is a so-called god in the scenario. In other words, only high-level players with considerable gaming skills can get cards of this quality."
Gu Moli shamelessly classified himself into the ranks of high-level players through his words.
Then he wrote two more big words.
Rank
"Although the players themselves haven't come into contact with it yet, after several script experiences, it can be basically proved that this game has levels similar to realms. Snow White is a fourth-level mysterious necromancer witch, Aurora is a second-level mysterious goddess, and Vidal is a first-level mysterious son of God."
“They are all from the mystery department.”
"But since there is a mystical department, there may be mechanical departments, superhuman departments, and the like. The most important thing is the limit of this rank. For players, the rank should be the ranking competition. Only by passing enough ranking scenarios can you get the corresponding rank."
"But considering the uncontrollable factors such as strategy, and the importance of rank in the game script, I am afraid that the higher the rank of the ranking script, the more emphasis will be placed on the player's own combat power. So it is probably unrealistic to hope to get lucky and increase the pass rate by the number of rankings."
After writing down what he thought in his notebook, Gu Moli buried his body in the sofa and continued thinking.
Then he wrote again:
Main storyline
I have only experienced two main storylines, namely Lost Shambhala and The Golden Treasure of Naberis. The Golden Treasure of Naberis is formed by connecting multiple stories together. Considering the differences between the two stories...
"Sure enough, there is no reason why Shambhala has a hidden world view. The script about the golden treasure of Naberis does not exist."
“Did I not discover it?”
"ah."
Gu Moli scratched his head subconsciously, looking a little annoyed. Obviously, this feeling of realizing that you were one step behind was not a good one.
But now thinking back, there were indeed a few places in Naberis's golden treasure that he had doubts about. However, due to the presence of Zhiji Nanxun at that time and the greater pressure from the players, Gu Moli temporarily put those doubts behind him.
"First of all, the location of the treasure and the Movo Royal Naval Port. In just a few hundred years, it has turned from a seaport into a treasure in the desert. Even crustal movement has to follow the basic laws. The time required for vicissitudes of life is far more than a few hundred years."
"We can only assume that a certain god has intervened, right? If it's the same god as the one in the previous script, it wouldn't be difficult to modify the script settings."
"Who is that god?"
Gu Moli wrote and drew on his notebook, his mind constantly replaying what happened in the golden treasure, and he analyzed and thought quickly.
"The props that have hints... The Ring of Life and the Ring of Death. Are those two things not only hints about the Hero's Trial, but also revealing props of the hidden world view?"
"I neglected it."
"... Life, death, do they have anything to do with any god?"
"Ah, one more thing..."
As Gu Moli was thinking, he suddenly remembered a detail from his previous experience in Shambhala.
As the secret treasure of Shambhala, the artifacts should have been made by the goddess Aurora. Whether it is love, authority, mercy, or cruelty, it should have the mark of Aurora herself. But in fact, the common and only mark of these secret treasures is...
"Ouroboros?"
Love, Authority, and Cruelty, these three secret treasures all have the mark of Ouroboros, and the most important Mercy is even the Ouroboros on the ring itself, with only a ruby containing Aurora added.
"Is there a connection here? Ouroboros, rings, life, death... cycles..."
"... .ah."
Gu Moli opened his phone, did a quick search, and finally wrote down the last word in his notebook.
Ouroboros
The name means "self-eater" and also implies infinity and the cycle of life and death. Its emblem has a very high status in alchemy and can even be called one of the oldest mythological symbols in the world. Even in modern mathematics and physics, its concepts are cited.
In other words... ..
... ..This is a symbol and existence that has continued from mythology to science.
“… … ..”
"Maybe I am exaggerating."
Gu Moli grinned, twirled the ballpoint pen, and then rubbed his temple: "Aurora and Vidal are both characters from different myths in different places. Ouroboros should be the same, but older. If he appears in two main storylines at the same time..."
"Will the final ending of this main plot point directly to this cyclical snake? Or am I overthinking it?"
"You're not going to fight him?"
"Just hearing the name makes me feel like there's no chance of winning."
“Ding ding ding!”
At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, and the caller ID was "Tomboy".
Um... .
After pressing the answer button, Gu Moli put the phone to his ear, and Hua Qiong's excited voice came from the phone: "Boss, boss! I found a great commission!"
"Goodbye!"
Gu Moli hung up the phone without hesitation.
Ding ding ding!
Ding ding ding!
So for the next five minutes, even though Gu Moli tried to ignore them, Hua Qiong's calls showed no signs of stopping, so he had no choice but to turn on his phone again.
"Hello?"
“… ..Please! This is the commission I found in your folder! Even if I don’t tell you, this should be your job, boss!”
"Stop talking nonsense! The folders I gave you should be the type that you can accept or not accept!"
"So you won't answer?!"
"Because I'm busy lately!"
"What are you busy with?"
"Uh...playing games?"
"boss!"
For the first time, Gu Moli felt a little guilty.
"Okay, okay, I get it! It's just a commission, what kind? Don't make it too much trouble! If it's a commission to find a cat or a dog, I respectfully won't accept it. This kind of commission usually doesn't make much money and is time-consuming and laborious. If it's to find a mistress, I can reluctantly take it..."
"Don't worry! It's easy! And super fun!"
"ah.."
Listening to Hua Qiong's excited explanation, Gu Moli felt a sense of foreboding.
And it turns out.
His premonition was very accurate.
