Chapter 924 Bone King's Virtual World
Chapter 924 Bone King's Virtual World
“What’s so special about this game?”
Aizen came over and checked the game information on the screen. Due to the advanced equipment of the game company, he only needed to click to preview the overview of that world, and the local customs and culture were presented in the form of 3D projection.
This discontinued game has the name of the continent, the reason for the suspension, and the current status marked on the screen.
"I have been to this world before. I went there through a battle. At that time, there was a group of explorers in the upper world who came here as debuggers."
Lu Li briefly explained to Aizen, "I didn't expect to see the world I broke through here."
Upon hearing this, Aizen also became interested. He used the communicator to send a message to Nia, asking Nia to lead the army away and escape first, and he and Lu Li would stay for a while.
He then debugged the operating system and retrieved some data using the dead employee's card permissions. "This world is indeed very special. It's not just a simple game. It's not simply shut down. It's just that the company can no longer debug this world. It's just used as a blueprint for virtual world technology."
"What do you mean?"
Lu Li was a little confused.
"What I mean is that the world that Brother Lu has been to is not the game developed by the current company. This is technology that existed before the First Era. This company just found it and borrowed the ancient technology to develop a new game world."
Aizen said, taking out a transparent cover and collecting the huge ball of light in the central area. "This thing is the real core. These main brains have lost their activity and are only providing computing power. This company is very courageous."
Because the monster that Nia calls the mastermind is a very scary monster. It has a high IQ among monsters, and is also quite cruel.
The Yuchuan Company where Near works also has a weird and extremely cruel mastermind that can coordinate and control the automated forces of the entire city, and its mental control is also terrifying. Near said that he could not resist it at all, so he said before that Lu Li and Aizen would be killed by the mastermind.
But there were three strange main brains in front of them. The game company had used some unknown technology to destroy the core of the main brain, causing the main brain to become a flesh-and-blood computer that could only provide computing power and had no self-awareness.
Regardless of the fact that the main brain itself is very powerful, even Lu Li and Aizen before did not dare to provoke it easily. Just say that these people have harmed and transformed the main brain in this way. If other monsters in the commercial city knew about it, they would definitely not let the people of this company go.
"Are we going to take these masterminds away?"
Lu Li looked at those brains that were as big as small houses and found it quite novel. He wondered how this company did it.
"Take it away and put it in a capsule. Time is running out. We need to find a safe place to study it."
Aizen said, and he asked Lu Li to speed up the storage and stuff all the technological instruments that could be stored in the laboratory on the bottom floor into the storage space.
The two searched for a while and evacuated from this place dangerously before the new round of pursuers arrived. It took them half an hour to reach the meeting point agreed with Nia.
"Hahaha, you didn't see how I killed people in the city. Those guys chasing me could only spit out thick liquid under my big cannon."
When Nia saw Lu Li and Aizen, he burst into laughter. He was also bleeding and was obviously seriously injured, but this rough guy didn't care. He was just showing off his achievements.
This has been their third month of activities outside. Among the six major cities, except for the old city which was too far away and they had not been to Huohuo, they have visited all the other cities.
Every time they leave before causing a cleanup by the highest military force in the city-state, it seems that an urban legend has been born among human city-states, and a small number of humans believe that there is a powerful resistance army that is fighting against the brutal corporations and the monsters that control the fate of mankind.
They felt that the commotion in the commercial city this time was coming to an end, because from the information stolen by Aizen from the company's communication channel, the powerful monsters in the commercial city will personally intervene in the matter. In addition, the human army will use the Mother's Sigh to clean up the place where Lu Li and Aizen appeared.
However, the big fuss over the past few months was also very fruitful. After continuously devouring various monsters, Lu Li's comprehensive attributes have been significantly improved, and now he has 242 points of comprehensive attributes.
Aizen is a little worse, currently with only 240 comprehensive attributes. It's not that he has no talent, nor is it that he is not diligent enough because of his rejection of absorbing weirdness, but that Lu Li's growth and absorption are much easier than his.
In addition, Nia, who joined the team, has also encountered a lot of monsters. He seems to have a strong ability to receive monsters, otherwise he would not have survived the experiments at a very young age.
After learning the method given by the Sword Keeper, Nia made rapid progress. Now his overall attributes are on par with Lu Li, but his tail just won’t disappear. Nia even wanted to try to eat his own tail, but was stopped by Lu Li.
"Recover your strength first, they might come after us again."
After Lu Li approached, he used Huidao to treat Nia's injuries, and then took out the equipment they had swept out of the game company.
"You two are so polite. Just eat it. Why did you pack up my portion?"
When Nia saw the three main brains, his mouth started drooling. His taste system seemed extremely strange to Lu Li and Aizen.
If Lu Li brainwashed himself into thinking that strange tastes were acceptable, then Nia really thought that strange tastes were good, and it was an obvious case of pica.
"Don't be impatient, it's not time to eat yet."
Lu Li stopped Nia and looked at Aizen.
After Aizen arranged and connected all the equipment, he began to type frantically on the operating table, "Brother Lu, this company has a great background."
Lu Li was curious, but he also knew that Nia was not from the space. He gave Nia a box of food and patted the big guy on the shoulder. "Don't think about eating weird things for now. Let's investigate something and then we can have dinner."
Although Nia didn't know what Lu Li and Aizen were doing with these electronic devices, he still couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. The last time Lu Li treated him to a meal, the taste still made him linger.
In addition, he was indeed exhausted after the battle, so he took his lunch box to a quiet place and half-lay down, ready to take a rest after eating his fill.
Lu Li walked over to Aizen and started communicating on the team channel.
"What's going on? I have some personal connections with my opponent in the world battle. On the way here, I asked him through special means, but he told me that the native world number is a four-digit number. According to his inference, it might be a terrifying world of the ninth level." Lu Li said puzzledly. He saw the world of the Undead King in the game company of this world and found it quite weird. He couldn't help but chat privately with Ape Fire in the group.
The other party seemed to be out of the mission world and quickly replied to him, telling him that his native world was numbered 6030, but Lu Li was currently in the native world numbered 60302.
"This may be related to the ratio of the flow rate of space and time in the native world, and the world is not static."
Aizen analyzed, "Brother Lu, don't you think the basic energy level of this world is too high?"
"I don't have much experience with the native world, so I can't say whether this situation is normal or not."
Lu Li said helplessly. He felt that the basic difficulty of this world was very high, but compared to when they first came in, they had improved their comprehensive attributes by more than 20 points by eating a lot of weird things. This incredible improvement made him find the extraordinary feeling again.
Therefore, he did not pay much attention to the awkward feeling of difficulty in walking at the beginning. After all, he could still fly in the air and launch wide-ranging attacks.
"I think it's very abnormal. I've been to the native world once, but I think the biggest difference between the native world and the derived world is the difference in our intelligence."
Aizen said, "As for the nature of the world itself, I don't think there will be any essential difference. Brother Lu, you have been through many mission worlds. Have you ever seen a world where the gap between the basic energy level and the highest difficulty is so small?"
After hearing what Aizen said, Lu Li also came to his senses. The world with the smallest difference in difficulty among the worlds they had experienced before was the Valkyrie of the End.
But that's because of the plot, which puts humans at a special point of imminent destruction. Due to their identity and position, they have no room for choice, so the difficulty is almost locked.
But the Valkyrie world at the end of the world is not a basic high-energy world. The basic difficulty of the Continent of Compassion does not involve any historical nodes, nor does it involve the threat of monsters to humans, but the high difficulty brought about by the rules and density of this world itself.
People below level eight simply cannot survive in this world. The high-density space will instantly crush people to death or cause a chronic death.
This is the difficulty brought about by the world's energy level, not the difficulty brought about by other plot factors such as monsters. If you look at it from this perspective, you will find that there are many anomalies.
For example, the world of the Undead King that Lu Li saw in front of him. Lu Li remembered that the basic energy level of that world was not low. Humans who could live on the continent generally had strong physical fitness, but there was still a big gap between the lowest and highest difficulty of the world.
The lowest difficulty level in the Ci'ai Continent where Lu Li is now is 70, and the highest difficulty level is 76. From the perspective of rank level, the gap is not that big, and this is an obvious anomaly.
"It seems that Brother Lu has also understood that generally speaking, what determines the upper limit of a world is not something else, but the basic energy level of a world."
Aizen said, "The basic energy level of this world is so high, it should be more than the upper limit of level 76, because such a high-energy continent can normally give birth to higher-level creatures."
"So, those ancient gods are probably a wrong form of life in this world?"
Lu Li asked curiously.
Aizen shook his head. "There is no wrong statement about the life forms that have been born and survived. I just think that although the human history records of this world seem to show that the weirdness has existed for a long time, from a more macro perspective, the weird creatures are actually a young life form."
"Sosuke, what you mean is... they haven't grown up yet?"
Lu Li understood now, "So they are still breeding humans to obtain a higher level of life?"
"That's probably what I mean. The reason why we can grow so fast, in addition to the Sword Keeper's method, is actually more dependent on the basic energy level of this world."
Aizen said, "For example, just like the immortal cultivation novels that you, Brother Lu, sometimes read in your space, people with the same talent have difficulty upgrading in a low-level plane with depleted spiritual energy, but their cultivation speed will be much faster in a high-level plane."
"But the air here is very turbid. Without the fairy spirit seeds, it would be difficult for me to even replenish my soul energy. Don't you also have to rely on eating to replenish your energy, Sosuke?"
Lu Li said in confusion.
"The air is turbid because it is filled with a large amount of strange energy. We cannot use that energy directly, but the high density of space itself has helped us compact our bodies to absorb the strange energy we have consumed."
Aizen explained, "If it were in the regular world, even if we used the same method to eat the monster, it would take us quite a long time to refine it."
"That's a good thing for us, isn't it?"
Lu Li smiled and took out some snacks to eat.
Aizen glanced at the strange ball in Lu Li's hand and said, "Brother Lu, this means that strange things will grow, and I suspect that the end of each era is a leap forward for strange creatures, and even more powerful strange gods will be born among them."
“It sounds delicious.”
Lu Li said with a smile.
Aizen shook his head and smiled helplessly, but in a dangerous and tense world, having such an optimistic teammate always makes people full of motivation.
"Back to the point, I suspect that this world originally had a higher upper limit of difficulty. The rules and energy levels of the world determine the lower limit, while the strongest person determines the upper limit. This place, now called the Compassionate Continent, may have had a ninth-level strongman in the past."
Aizen continued typing on the console. "This game company is the heir of a legacy from before the First Era. This Unreal World Engine is a prehistoric relic."
Aizen was gathering information as he spoke. This company obviously would not have expected that someone would dare to raid their headquarters in a world dominated by monsters, and that their security forces were routed by humans with extraordinary powers.
Therefore, their encryption is not abnormal. All the information can be retrieved with the highest-authority employee card and iris authentication. Lu Li took the iris of the company's manager in his hand and pointed the man's head at the scanning interface of the machine.
After Aizen typed the command, he called up more detailed information about the Undead King's world. "Brother Lu, the most interesting thing is about to happen. The company cannot interfere with this discontinued game, but you may be able to operate it."
