The food court was still too big, and the three of them wandered around for a long time, but they didn't meet the fourth player. Looking at the alleys extending in all directions, Ye Xu refused to enter in his real name.
Regardless of whether there is better food in it, he doesn't go in anyway. The alley is dark and gloomy, and there are ghosts at a glance.
Mo Bei was also speechless: "You really deserve to be a member of the Temple of Time and Space..."
"What?! There are still ghosts?!" The cat-eared girl only noticed the previous sentence, and immediately exploded, "Why are there ghosts in this game?!"
The two men suddenly: "..."
Girl, after playing for so long, don't you know that this is a horror escape game
"What?!" The cat-eared girl broke down even more, "The system clearly told me it was a puzzle-solving game!"
Well, Father Tong really took care of kind girls, Ye Xu said he was used to it.
There was no way, and it was difficult for the two of them to explain to the girl why she was the only one who had a different painting style from others, so they had to play haha and pass by. In the end, he used a bunch of skewers to attract her attention, so that she would no longer be entangled in the previous things.
Ye Xu and Mo Beizhuo whispered behind them.
"Xiaobei, why is Father Tong so patriarchal?"
Mo Bei, who just lost the bet and had to call Brother Ye Xu, turned blue, and said aggrievedly, "Brother Ye, you don't know this? You should just be my little brother."
Ye Xu's tail twitched him so much that he almost gnawed mud, and he immediately became honest.
"Brother, it's like this. The ratio of male to female in our game is seriously out of balance. Do you know how many female awakeners there are? They are less than one-tenth of the total number! I think the girl must be struggling in this terrifying game." It’s harder, so I usually give them more convenience—although I think those who can choose to stay in horror games are basically strong women who are not afraid of ghosts, and it’s not that hard.”
Mo Bei talked as soon as he spoke, and he didn't forget to complain. Obviously, he was cheated by the women here. The topic changed immediately, and turned into Mo Bei crying about how cruel these women were. Compared with them, Mo Bei looked like a poor little guy who was afraid of ghosts.
The corner of Ye Xu's mouth twitched: "Shut up, the topic is off topic."
"Oh yes, Brother Ye, I was wrong." Mo Bei hurriedly pulled back, "Let's continue to say that Father Tong is patriarchal. You see, Father Tong is a normal straight man with a male-oriented gender, and he doesn't take care of girls. Do you still take care of us stinky men? Stop it, I think I might be beaten to death by my sister-in-law if I have sex with my father."
"Isn't sister-in-law very tempered?" Ye Xu asked.
"It just looks like, you don't understand, the more gentle a woman is, the more terrifying she is." Mo Bei had a hurt expression on his face, probably because he was slapped by his sister-in-law.
Ye Xu didn't want to sympathize with him: "Speaking of which, Father Tong is not a real system, is he?"
"Why do you say that?" Mo Bei looked at him in surprise, as if surprised that he had discovered this secret.
Ye Xu always felt that Mo Bei was treating him as a fool: "... Will your programmed creature be lazy? If it's a system, it's fine if the creator endows him with emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy, and write a 'can be lazy' in his programming? I Anyway, I have never seen a program that would be lazy."
Don't talk about father, just look at uncle. Not only is he being lazy, he simply ignores everything and lets his game fend for itself. This is not something a game master would do.
Mo Bei frowned: "That's it? Is it not enough to explain?"
"Of course there are." Ye Xu pointed to this space, "This is not like a virtual world built with data at all, but like an independent small world. Also, there are 10,000 parallel worlds outside, and players come from There. But, can the existence of the system really be able to collect people everywhere through parallel time and space? If Tong Dae only accepts people in one world, I think it is more reliable."
"That means technology has developed to the point that you can't understand." Mo Bei said very bachelor.
Ye Xu ignored him and continued: "Well, let's pretend that we are in a virtual data world. This is really just a holographic game. Then let me ask you, you have improved the physical fitness of your game character in the online game Points, your real body will also improve? Are you kidding me! What's more, this 'online game' can actually change people's luck. This is not something that ordinary games can do. It is a miracle, right? ?”
Mo Bei immediately quibbled: "Tong Dae was created by the Goddess of Life, it's normal to have a little bit of divine ability."
"So he can create things and create a real world. He can also use the power of rules to pretend to be programming, let the world's laws control the direction of the world, but tell the player that the system program is in control. He also has his own preferences and Personality, he was given life by the Goddess of Life, he is a higher creature, not a program product, right?" Ye Xu smiled.
Mo Bei: "..."
"I heard that this game has existed for hundreds of years? The level of technology in each parallel time and space is not much different. There were no computers hundreds of years ago, right? The goddess of life has a glimpse of the future and knows that there will be systems and games in the future. So this thing was made in advance, to be at the forefront of the world? How would the players who were caught at the beginning understand the system and the mode of online games that don’t exist yet?”
Mo Bei: "..."
"Xiaobei, with so many loopholes, it's impossible for all of them to be coincidences?" Ye Xu looked like a big brother, sighed and patted him on the shoulder. Is it the titles that you veterans who keep pace with the times have adapted according to a model more acceptable to modern people?"
Mo Bei wiped his face and didn't continue to struggle: "Yes."
He paused and organized his language: "The original name here is not 'Horror Escape Game', but 'God Son Selection Game'. Including all other games, the essence is the same, the selection game. It is used to select Human beings who meet the wishes of the game master endow them with the bloodline of the temple and expand the scale of the temple. For example, our ancestors prefer kind people, so this place is used to identify kind souls from the beginning. Other game systems also have their own preferences. For example, some like violent madness."
But later, more and more people think that this game is a prank played by a late-stage second disease. Returning to the gods, how can there be gods in the world? It’s been 9012 years, why do people still believe in the existence of gods? Therefore, the veterans began to rectify the game according to the model that ordinary people can understand and accept.
In fact, it is easy to find that, according to the previous statement, the meaning of this game's existence is actually very strange.
The system needs energy generated by the player to function, so pull the player in to scare and finally send them back to life? Doesn't resurrection consume more energy? After all, resurrection is not something that ordinary people can do, and it is normal to pay a lot of money.
"Tong Dae doesn't need those energies at all." Mo Bei said, "The real use of those energies is to give awakened people to use them to upgrade their bloodlines. Don't look at some people's bloodlines as vampires, bats, werewolves, in fact, those are also The bloodline of the temple. The only difference is that it belongs to the main temple, the sub-temple, or the fringe temple. Father Tong himself is a sub-god, and there is no situation where he will die without energy. Even if the entire game is gone, yes For him it was just a matter of waving and rebuilding."
Ye Xu said that he had already expected this: "Papa Tong is too close to the people, so I can't really see it. But my uncle is very obvious. In many fairy tales, the gods are just like him. It depends on whether I like it or not. Moreover, we human beings have children by conceiving and giving birth, but God has always created a child and will not give birth by himself. The Goddess of Life created a father. Setting up a system to manage things is more like creating your own child.”
"That's right." Mo Bei nodded, "Papa Tong has younger brothers and sisters, and the Goddess of Life is his mother god. He and my sister-in-law are actually the true sons of gods, belonging to demigods. We, bloodline inheritors, should He is more of an adopted son, or a subordinate priest who is vassalized in the temple. Maybe he can become a fringe god in the future and have his own separate temple."
Speaking of this, Mo Bei suddenly became interested: "You don't know, the goddess of life is a very good goddess, beautiful, gentle and generous, every time I visit her, I can get a lot of good things. And because she likes food , so the inheritors of the Temple of Life must all be very good at cooking. Father Tong is also influenced by her, so he loves food."
However, her five sons and daughters have very different personalities, each with their own bears, which made her eldest son Tong Dae worry about it. As for herself, she is obsessed with food and cannot extricate herself from it, and she doesn't care about anything else. She temporarily suspects that her uncle learned from her.
Ye Xu quickly interrupted him, so as not to drag it to other places: "So why did you make it a horror escape game? Not another game?"
"Why else? Father and his sub-god palm is the Temple of Despair!" Mentioning this, Mo Bei looked depressed, "Do you think I don't want to play a peaceful game to attract more cute girls? He's still a single dog, hey!"
"The Temple of Despair? Are there any demigod-level temples? How many bloodline inheritors of the Temple of Despair do we have here?"
"Zero! Father Tong said that he is still young and doesn't need an inheritor, so he didn't open this lineage." Mo Bei curled his lips as he spoke, "It would be fine if he opened it, so the inheritor of the Temple of Despair is the real one. Candidates for the second-generation system of the Eight Classics. When the time comes, all the dirty work will be left to them, and we will not be arrested from time to time."
Ye Xu opened the chat interface and pulled him over: "Come, come, tell Father Tong, he will definitely accept your suggestion."
Mo Bei immediately yelled like a pig: "I don't! You let me go! I want to live another five hundred years!"
"..."
The cat-eared girl who was bouncing ahead immediately turned her head back: "What's wrong with you?"
Mo Bei hurriedly broke away from Ye Xu, stood up straight and smiled like a dog: "It's okay, I'm playing with my brother Ye. Are you full, do you want some milk tea?"
Cat-eared girl: "???"
Ye Xu couldn't see it, this guy had already reached the point where he would show courteousness to a female creature in order to get out of the order.
The author has something to say: Don’t worry, there will be dragon eggs, and there will be little milk dragons
Now it’s just for the convenience of eating, it’s only so big x
