Su Qi also turned around. The man in front of him was about forty years old, but in fact he should be much older. He had a somewhat extraordinary temperament, deep eyes, and a righteous face, but it did not make people feel urgent.
The question mark also shows the opponent's strength.
【Sequence 3】
Don't say anything else.
Apart from various demigods, divine forces, and traveling merchants of unknown significance, this was the first time he had seen a high-sequence person in Paradise.
The other party seems to be of very high status, which can be seen from the attitude of Xu Linqiu next to him.
Xu Linqiu’s strength is at Sequence Six.
Before, he kept saying that Su Qi's ranking was too high, but in fact, his own ranking was not low at all. He must have made some noise in the world and had a certain reputation.
"The old land." Su Qi took over the middle-aged man's words and said softly, "You mean those black and white things?"
The middle-aged man spoke softly:
"You can understand that."
"Those outside are a terrifying force that can erase all existence, and the erased existence is called the Old Ones."
Su Qi paused.
He was also familiar with the word "old days". When he was in the hospital, he saw the information on the flyer with a question mark, and the word "old days" was on it. Now that it has been confirmed, Su Qi has a rough idea of it.
"So Paradise is a place filled with countless past days and eroded by all the time, right?"
"Yes, and currently only the three places with core hubs, namely Free City, Sequence City, and District 9, can exist in the Old Days."
Su Qi said to himself:
"I see. So you have built different places in this old land of paradise with three hubs as the core."
"That's true, but it's not as simple as you think."
The middle-aged man looked at Su Qi and said, "Before Xu Linqiu told you about the cruel history of the paradise, many of the contents were not told to you because of confidentiality. Now is the time for you to know."
Su Qi did not refuse or agree, but just said softly: "I can listen."
He was invited individually, called, and even when he went out in the real world, there were people secretly protecting his safety.
He knew it.
What does the middle-aged man in front of me want to do?
To recruit him into the Ninth District did not mean to recruit him into a club, but to make him an official member of the Ninth District.
but.
Su Qi wants to be a scumbag, neither taking the initiative nor refusing. If you tell me, I will listen. If you don’t say anything, I will investigate secretly.
The middle-aged man didn't know what Su Qi was thinking, so he just spoke slowly:
"During the first internal test."
"At that time, there was nothing. Countless chosen people were forced to enter the world and improve their strength. However, at the same time, various cruelties and deaths also caused countless people to die here."
"Until the first core hub is discovered and activated."
"Everyone now has the ability to return to the core hub space in times of danger."
Su Qi's mind moved.
This was something he had not thought of.
“The first core hub.”
Xu Linqiu added softly, "This is the current Free City."
"Because... the chosen people in the Free City era were extremely evil in their style of doing things. They made strengthening themselves their primary goal and used any means necessary, so there were constant fights."
The middle-aged man spoke softly, "During the second internal test, a second dusty core area was discovered in the Land of the Old Ones, which is now the Sequence City where a large number of people chose to enter."
"And the third time was when the Investigation Bureau officially moved in, discovered the third core hub, and established the ninth district."
"With the joint development of the three regions, the countless efforts made by the managers and many pioneers, the power of the park has undergone new changes. The terrifying ability of death return has been completely stabilized, with a 99.99999% guarantee rate."
"then."
"The fourth time, which is the one you participated in, was the official start of the full public beta test."
As Su Qi listened to the middle-aged man's story, he finally understood what kind of place the paradise was.
but.
Su Qi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Your 99.99999% guarantee rate sounds so unreliable to me. Before entering the park, I seemed to have experienced system disconnections and death threats several times.
"What about the park's system?" Su Qi suddenly asked.
"If the so-called main god space and exchange and other contents were available during the first internal test, it means that the paradise system existed at that time."
"And what role does the manager play here?"
Su Qi asked many questions in one breath.
The middle-aged man only talked about how they, the pioneers, were chosen and how they developed from nothing to the present, and the series of things they had experienced, but he did not mention the real core, that is, the huge system of the paradise itself.
But the middle-aged man paused slightly and shook his head:
"This part"
"There are many things that are still taboo, and only extraordinary people have the ability to know and put them into use."
Su Qi smiled and said, "I understand."
Since the other party said so, he didn't ask any more questions. However, based on some information, he actually had a preliminary assessment of the current state of the park.
The middle-aged man said softly, "After saying so much, you actually know my purpose. During the Rainbow Bridge incident, you caused a shocking commotion and attracted the attention of countless forces. Now in Paradise, you have also attracted a lot of attention."
“So, I extend an invitation to you.”
He held out a business card: "After confirmation by the administrator, you can become a Black Guard with authority in the Ninth District."
Xu Linqiu looked at his teacher in shock.
The Black Guards are the most core organization established by the Investigation Bureau in District 9, and there are very few Black Guards who have such authority.
Suki picked up the business card.
"Permissions. What exactly are they?"
The middle-aged man said softly: "Calling data, using the Ninth District's Myriad Worlds Transmission, being able to borrow the Ninth District's special BUFF blessing, etc."
Su Qi probably understood the power of Paradise and they seemed to be able to mobilize it through the hub.
"I understand. Let me think about it first."
Xu Linqiu watched Su Qi put the business card away. He probably knew that this guy probably would not agree. He had talked to Ye Shou before and found out that this guy had a very unpredictable personality and had repeatedly rejected invitations from many clubs.
Middle-aged people come and go quickly, and it seems that they still have a lot of things to do and are very busy.
It seemed as if the other party had teleported back specifically because of my arrival.
Otherwise, Xu Linqiu could complete all this information and invitations by himself.
"Su Buxian." Xu Linqiu looked at Su Qi and pressed his forehead helplessly: "Although I don't know you as well as Ye Shou, I can still see that you don't seem to be planning to accept the invitation."
Su Qi: "Don't talk nonsense, am I not still considering it?"
".You just want more information."
Xu Linqiu gently stretched out his hand: "But even if I don't tell you, Ye Shou will probably tell you."
"Let me show you this again."
He seemed to have the authority to use this hub, and suddenly a large number of light ball projections appeared in front of him.
Su Qi paused and said, "This is..."
He had also seen such things in the Uneasy Land. The big and small worlds in the Uneasy Land were actually balls of light in the hospital.
"It is the coordinate projection of various clubs in the Old Land."
Xu Linqiu said softly:
"The Land of the Old Ones is very large, and there is no possibility of leaving any traces or coordinates. We can only rely on the power of the hub to enter it and conduct a brief exploration. We may even discover some areas that have not been erased yet."
Su Qi understood that this was the same reason why he had relied on the power of protection to enter the hospital before.
"So, we can let the club go in and garrison there, providing the power of the hub to help them stabilize that area."
"If you don't want to join the Black Guards in District 9, you can also look for a large club in District 9 and join it to have a good chance."
Su Qi did not answer directly, but just looked at the old black and white: "It seems that you are trying your best to explore everything in this old land. What are the benefits in it?"
Xu Linqiu was stunned for a moment: "Wait, didn't I say that?"
Su Qi: “?”
"All players can go to various dungeon worlds in the present world because of the various trace points collected from the exploration of the old land. After being teleported, the main quest of the trace point will be arranged."
"If the player can clear the level!"
"The Land of the Old Ones can illuminate that trace, and the power of the hub core will be enhanced to resist the erosion of the power of the Old Ones."
Su Qi: “.”
Use the power of the hub to step directly into the old land and find an anchor point.
Enter the dungeon with other players and light up the traces.
It seems to be a kind of exploration.
The real key is the core hub in front of us.
This reminded Su Qi of the "Forgotten Land" mentioned in the paradise rewards.
Su Qi asked, "Speaking of which, since the power of the past can be eroded, what will happen in the worst case scenario?"
Xu Linqiu knew that Su Qi would ask this, and a heavy look appeared on his face:
"According to our speculation, everyone will be wiped out of existence now. There is another possibility."
"what?"
