MTL - Number One Player-Chapter 282 Jiuqu and System
"Forget it, it actually has nothing to do with you," Nie Zhibo cast a contemptuous glance at Lu Yanchi, "Let's do things like conspiracy and layout decisions. It's really overkill to ask you to consider these things. Put the right people in the right places."
"I'm not very interested in these." Lu Yanchi shrugged.
When he was not in Sky City, Nie Zhibo didn't dare to go into details, for fear of revealing key information: "It's late for the banquet, you should do your best, and try to save your budget to complete this absolutely epoch-making scientific research project."
With that said, Nie Zhibo patted Lu Yanchi on the shoulder: "Don't care about these things, you should do scientific research that we don't understand at all. As for the rest, leave it to us, we will definitely create a new one for you. A very good research environment."
There was a hint of excitement in his expression. This feeling of playing with the whole world in his hands, even if he was as calm as Nie Zhibo, he couldn't help but feel a little excited: "The last piece of the puzzle has been assembled, and we should finish this puzzle."
Shang Yinhe, who was smiling at the side, gave a positive conclusion: "Don't worry, the banquet is late. In short, everything you want will be available."
--------------
Castle in the Sky.
Shang Yinhe was walking alone on the empty street.
No, it can't be said to be a person, after all, the little cloak and Iida are by his side.
As the permission owner of the copy of Sky City, Shang Yinhe can clearly know whether there are other people in this city.
At this point in time, the friends of the Guardian Alliance are all busy with their own affairs, which also allows him to enjoy this beautiful and spacious private space by himself.
"How many anchor points do I have?" Shang Yinhe asked while summoning the Devil King's book.
"Not much." Iida, who was standing on his shoulder, replied, "Great Demon Lord, you have spent too much of your points during this time! You have accumulated so many points for so long, and now there is only a fraction left. !
Shang Yinhe flipped through the Demon King's book to the [ability page]. I saw that at the bottom of the [Long Live Anchor] ability, the current anchor points: 1024 points were displayed.
Compared with the exaggerated figures of seven or eight digits before, there is really only a fraction left.
"...Well, it's a little quicker." Shang Yinhe closed the Devil King's book with a snap, and threw it back into the hexagram on the back of his left hand. The so-called out of sight is pure, if you can't see the balance, you won't be so distressed.
"Great Demon King, you've changed!" Iida rolled her eyes at him, "You've become so reckless now, what a waste!"
"However, there is actually no way..." Shang Yinhe couldn't help sighing, "These are all necessary expenses."
Before Shang Yinhe had cleared the world of [Amusement Park] and obtained the ability of [Dungeon Feedback], he always adhered to the mentality that good steel should be spent on the blade when it came to the cost of anchor points. No way, poor wow.
[Dungeon Feedback] As soon as the ability was released, and the number of people who passed the extraordinary dungeon was more, he instantly changed from a poor man to a little rich man, and his spending began to be extravagant.
However, no matter how reckless he was at that time, he had never spent money like running water in recent times.
Everything about this huge sum of money has to start with Nie Zhibo's terrifying inference.
At that time, Nie Zhibo deduced a conclusion based on many clues: "Jiuqu is in such a hurry because he foresees that the time for the invasion of this high-level civilization is just around the corner."
As Jiuqu himself, Shang Yinhe came to listen to Nie Zhibo's analysis with the intention of listening to jokes. However, listening to it, he felt something was wrong.
"...After the change in High Swan Castle, just two weeks later, Jiuqu turned his challenge process into a video for playback." Nie Zhibo took out his notebook and pointed to the time point on it, "Behind this Because, Jiuqu found that human beings have not been able to realize that the copy of White Mist can grant extraordinary powers. As a last resort, he can only go out and urge him."
Following Nie Zhibo's words, Shang Yinhe couldn't help but remember when it all started. Looking back at the past at the present time point, there is an illusion like a world away.
At that time, the Shang Galaxy player level was only LV1, and the opening interval of each game world was only one week. Therefore, it only took two weeks from the end of the [Demon Lord Landlord] game world to the opening of the [Death Labyrinth] game world.
It was not until he completed [The Creator] and upgraded to player level LV3 that the opening interval of the game world was increased to one month.
After the [Death Labyrinth] game world ended, the little cloak appeared in reality, challenged the level with the face of a brave man, and automatically formed a video to be played around the world.
All of this seems to be accidental.
The upgrade of the player's level and the change of the interval time of the game world seem to be accidental;
The selection order of the game world also seems to be accidental;
Even he took the initiative to broadcast the video to earn anchor points, which seems to be an accidental event.
But what if it wasn't a coincidence...?
What if the order of the game world was already arranged by the system?
If this is the case, then, when the player's level increases and when the world interval time changes, it becomes an inevitable phenomenon accordingly.
Even the reward ability he obtained [Long Live the Anchor] was destined for him to earn anchor points by cutting videos. The anchor points can upgrade abilities, evolve creatures, and do many things. How could he let this seemingly omnipotent anchor do not want points?
As a result, the seemingly accidental act of posting videos has become inevitable.
"... During the "Master of Creation" video period, Jiuqu basically posted a video every 4 to 5 days." Nie Zhibo continued, "Which prediction have you seen, with such a short interval? This is simply forcing human beings to unite. Arise, to deal with the possible doomsday of animal and plant mutation."
The doomsday warning of [The Creator] not only reduces the concentration of evolutionary factors in the world, but also delays the evolution of the evolution of animals and plants, leaving enough time for the development of human extraordinary technology and extraordinary abilities;
It also created the authority of Jiuqu and thoroughly confirmed the existence of Jiuqu's predictive ability.
Even further, this time the union of all mankind has laid the foundation for the joint force of the whole world during the third world war and the establishment of the joint organization of the whole mankind in the future.
"The end of the evolutionary animals and plants predicted by "The Creator" has only been delayed a little, and Jiuqu has released a series of rapid rescue videos. This time the release interval is shorter, basically every 3 to 4 days. ."
[Quick Rescue] is a series of videos in which little cloaks appear in cities around the world and save ordinary people from mutated evolutionary animals and plants.
This is actually a forewarning, heralding the existence of evolved animals and plants to the world, and implicitly hinting at the existence of the next World War III.
At the same time, the various ways of dealing with evolved animals and plants in the video also point out the future path of human beings - dealing with evolved animals and plants requires the participation of extraordinary people.
Looking back now, it seems that every video has its own unique purpose.
"Aside from the 'Announcement' video that appeared obviously because of an abnormal situation," Nie Zhibo said, "After that, only three days later, Jiuqu released a new series of videos for the 'Hero Project'."
"This series of videos is like a whip, urging the world to start the superhuman training program, and urging mankind to officially face the third world war."
Shang Yinhe recalled, as soon as the [Hero Project] series of videos came out, the Huaguo extraordinary online exam, the federal extraordinary lottery and many other channels to open the copy of the white fog to ordinary people came into being.
In the process, people have figured out a way to quickly clear the White Mist dungeon and gain extraordinary abilities.
At the same time, under the threat of the Third World War, the number of superhumans in the world began to increase rapidly at an alarming rate.
"Not to mention the "Biological Transformation" series, Jiuqu cost a huge price to directly create the miracle of five rainbows, like cheating, raising the progress of the entire human beings in the domestication and evolution of animals and plants to an incredible level. "
The [Pet Kingdom] game world is the one that Shang Yinhe played the most attentively, and it was also the first time that he got the SS evaluation.
After this game world, human beings no longer need to be troubled by the food crisis and material crisis brought about by the evolution of animals and plants.
On the contrary, since the evolution of animals and plants has been tamed as a source of food and material, the world has all but eliminated the recurrence of famine. No matter how poor a place is, it will never be troubled by hunger from now on.
Stopping global famine seems to be a very simple thing, but in fact, it is very difficult. According to the latest FAO estimates, an estimated 805 million people were chronically undernourished between 2012 and 2014, and the European Development Fund's food aid to African countries cost nearly 200 million euros a year.
There was once a classic African photo that was widely circulated all over the world. The picture shows a starving, scrawny African child lying on the ground while vultures wait to eat his carcass.
And after the Rainbow Miracle, none of this will happen again.
Why do so many people deify Jiuqu after the "Biological Transformation" series? That's because the miracle of the five rainbows is indeed so shocking.
In ancient China, those who made breakthroughs in food were all living gods and would be offered to the altar for eternity, not to mention Jiuqu, which completely eliminated the food crisis?
"It is followed by "The Extraordinary Age". We all know that "The Extraordinary Age" is Jiuqu's use of his divine power to create many exclusive copies for us that are suitable for different attributes, which greatly reduces the threshold for becoming an extraordinary person."
"In particular, it should be noted that it took Jiuqu only one month to complete this miracle - this kind of miracle, which is similar to the creation of a demi-plane, must consume a lot of time according to common sense, but Jiuqu he abruptly took the time. Compressed to a month!"
"At the same time, every extraordinary challenge that is released contains hints of extraordinary technology. Benefiting from this, with the aid of the [Riddle Link] dungeon and the hint of Jiuqu Video, Lingshi New Energy Technology was born, and human beings no longer need to be troubled by energy.”
[Amusement Park] As soon as the world came out, the number of extraordinary people directly increased by hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of times, and it was increasing like an exponential.
And the extraordinary ability has also expanded from the original limited white fog copy drop skills to a variety of completely different and strange abilities.
If nothing else, before the [Amusement Park] world, the number of space-capable persons was less than double digits, and it was impossible to do a large-scale space capability test. After the world of [Amusement Park], the number of space capable people in the world suddenly skyrocketed as soon as the copy of the [2D Picture Scroll] came out.
"Have you noticed the time interval between each different video series?" Nie Zhibo swiped his finger over the time record of the notebook, "All the videos of Jiuqu, from the original "High Swan Castle Mutations" series to "The Extraordinary" "Times" series, has maintained the rhythm of one series a month."
In his notebook, the following time points were recorded:
On November 12, a mutation occurred in High Swan Castle;
On November 19, Jiuqu released the first series of videos of "The Mutations of High Swan Castle";
On November 26, the video of the brave man challenging the mutation of High Swan Castle appeared in the series of videos of "The Mutation of High Swan Castle";
On December 3, Jiuqu released the first series of videos of "The Creator";
On January 2, Jiuqu released the first "Quick Rescue" series of videos;
On February 1, Jiuqu released the first "Hero Project" series of videos;
On March 3, Jiuqu released the first "Biological Transformation" series of videos;
On April 2, Jiuqu released the first series of videos of "The Extraordinary Age";
On May 2, Jiuqu released the first series of videos of "World Situation";
"According to my feeling," Nie Zhibo said, "Jiuqu seems to have a timetable in his hand. He has set it for himself: this month to complete this thing, that month to complete that thing, so in our opinion, , there will be a clear one-month gap between each video series.”
"Can Jiuqu plan his time like this, forcing himself to complete the task according to the schedule no matter how much he spends, is there any other reason?"
Regarding Nie Zhibo's question, the other two people present remained silent at the same time.
"Finally it's 'The State of the World.' We now know the stories behind those things."
"All these are in sight. In just half a year, the entire human society has evolved to the point where it is now with the help of Jiuqu's almost forced advancement."
"Think about the hints in The Otherworldly Age: Eyes From Afar."
"Think about the slowdown in the update rate of Jiuqu videos after the start of "World Wind and Cloud"."
"And what we know, Mr. Jiuqu has been very busy recently, so busy that he can't even show up in Sky City, and even the video no longer contains any predictive factors..."
Having said that, Nie Zhibo sighed deeply.
"Isn't it all obvious enough?"
Yeah, isn't it all obvious enough?
If the sequential arrangement of the game system to the game world is regarded as a pre-existing preset,
Then, step by step, all accidents have become inevitable.
And those nuanced clues, detected by Iida and the little cloak;
And those broken pieces that peek through as players level up...
— The purpose of the game system, isn’t it obvious enough?
The level-up of a player is an obvious reminder. When the game duration expanded from 1 month to 6 months, in fact, the game system could not wait to hint to him:
The most urgent and difficult preparation period is almost over!
Give you another 6 months, you have to make the final preparations!
Think about this most recent game world: "World Wind and Cloud"; think about the many things he has done in World Wind and Cloud...
It turned out that the previous game system only gave such a short interval between the two game worlds, most likely because—
Perhaps, they had only less than a year to prepare for the final outcome.
From the [Demon Lord Landlord] game world all the way to the present, the game has entered the final customs clearance challenge.
