"Anyway, I am idle, so during the recent period... I have done a little more research on how to use the Yi Sword."
In the intertwined sounds of the huge roar of the wind and Duan Fenglei's cough, the young man who raised his head and Duan Qing's eyes looking down from top to bottom gradually met: "I'm not like those two of mine.
Brother seems so busy, so...you know, I have a lot of time and leisure to devote myself to studying the secrets of this field."
"...Where are your results?"
"I have come to the conclusion that Yi Sword requires a person's mental energy."
Tapping his forehead with his finger, Duan Shanhe raised his slightly serious voice: "This does not refer to the mental power of the characters in the free world, but the player's own mental power - if you want to truly change the virtual
The original structure of the world cannot be achieved by imagination alone."
"Connect, build, and integrate with the rules of this world... Even today, in the 22nd century, human beings' physical fitness has reached an extremely high level, and it is very difficult to achieve this."
Shanhe stretched out his clenched hand: "I tried several times to reconstruct the laws of other game worlds in the free world, but in the end I gave up because I almost fainted. I have been stuck in the alliance's seventh agreement.
The safety protection device forcibly installed in the game cabin also kicked me back from the edge of danger several times..."
"Forcibly using the Yi Sword will not only result in being kicked out of the system, but will also cause great damage to the person's spirit." He waved his raised fist to the side: "Am I right, Duan Tian... No, Mo
Go to Qingshan?"
"...a brilliant conclusion."
Duan Qing, who was still sitting on the top of the hall, was silent for a long time, and then slapped his crossed arms: "Unfortunately...it's still a little bit worse."
"...Oh? What's the problem?"
"Just like the martial arts world in Jianghu, comprehension is a major indicator that determines whether you can learn any martial arts and to what extent you can learn it." Duan Qing pointed to the top of his head: "Everyone's physical fitness and qualifications will be different.
There are some slight differences, and the conclusion you draw...may only apply to you."
"Do you want to say that my mental power is much worse than yours?" Duan Shanhe shook his head in an indifferent voice: "Don't be kidding, I am also one of those who have experienced the realm of death. No matter how stupid I am, a
The reason is very easy to understand——"
"There may be a significant difference between having ten mana points and having fifty mana points, but in the face of the demand for ten thousand mana points... this difference is nothing at all." The eyes facing Duan Qing became distant.
He became more and more serious. With one hand on his hip, he shouted into the sky: "If you want to completely break the barrier of virtual reality, you have to pay the price with your life... right?"
"..."
"We have had many conjectures privately."
Looking at the opponent who fell into silence again, Duan Fenglei, who had just taken the healing potion, then slowly straightened up: "You felt that you were weak in winning the championship. You felt that the professional world was no longer interesting, so you retired. You were affected by other things."
You ran away because you were threatened by people who couldn't stand you. Something happened to your family, and your family couldn't survive, so you gave up. You couldn't stand your engagement, so you eloped with your old lover..."
"Don't think I'm kidding, we have verified the existence of these possibilities one by one." He raised his head: "It's a pity that we didn't discover it until we ruled it out for so many years and finally came to this day.
This new possibility has emerged, that is... there may be something wrong with your body."
"After disappearing for three years...are you still a living person?" Duan Shanhe on the side then asked tacitly: "Can you still play the game like a normal person?"
"……nonsense."
As if he had been patient for a long time, Duan Qing, who was sitting above, finally raised his head and uttered his own retort: "Of course I'm still alive. I was a guest in the commentary box during the UEFA Cup. How about you?"
Come and ask?"
"You didn't even show your face at that time, you just kept explaining the game with your voice." Duan Fenglei grinned: "With the current level of technology... I want a player to explain the game in real time through the Internet.
, it should be very easy to do, right?”
"...I want to commend you for your imagination." Duan Qing sighed helplessly: "But...you guessed this right, I can't show up on that occasion..."
"Is it because you are simply false?" Duan Shanhe then said loudly: "You have no entity at all in reality?"
"What does it mean to be incorporeal? A living person as big as me—"
"You can't even try to deceive our Long family brothers! You died three years ago!"
"……ha?"
"Three years ago, your body collapsed due to excessive use of the Yi Sword, so you borrowed other powers to hide your consciousness in the virtual world! This is the safest place and the easiest place to use your own power.
Place...right?"
"...So what exactly are you talking about..."
"Then why haven't you shown up yet!?"
"...I don't want to show up, can't I?"
"I'm afraid it's not that you don't want to show up, but that you can't show up at all, right? A person who has become a dead soul... Hehehehe, what a sky-breaking blade, even after he died, he still deceived us."
"Damn it, are you out of control? I told you I can't show up!"
As if being irritated by the whims of the two people below, Duan Qing's voice finally became furious: "If they really get caught..."
"..."
"..."
"……them?"
"...Holy crap, are you trying to set me up?"
The silent and awkward atmosphere spread over the square where the high-altitude strong wind was constantly blowing as the two parties suddenly fell silent at the same time. Finally, it was broken when both parties spoke again at the same time: "You two guys who sing in harmony.
...I actually fell into your trap!"
"Stop talking nonsense, can I hear the truth from you without lying?" Duan Shanhe, who looked at each other with his brother, replied with a smug look on his face: "It was you who insisted on keeping silent about the past, you can't blame me for being unkind.
It’s unjust.”
"There is no point in hiding it." Duan Fenglei took a long breath, clapped his fist hard, and then gestured to the horizon: "Anyway, rumors outside have begun to fly all over the sky, and the targets of those accidents...
Sooner or later it will fall on your head."
"Tell me, who asked you to retire?" His face darkened: "What happened three years ago?"
"...Forget it, there's probably no use telling you anyway."
Scratching the back of his head, Duan Qing, who looked ugly, finally pursed his lips: "After today, there will probably be no point in spreading this matter."
"……What did you say?"
"Three years ago...there were indeed some accidents."
Covering up the words he had said to himself before, Duan Qing began to say in a long voice: "The specific people... they are all members of our Cruxide guild. They once passed through Chen Tiancheng
They found me and hoped that I could teach them some game skills."
"Competition skills?" Duan Shanhe raised his eyebrows first: "Isn't it the skill of Yi Jian?"
"I didn't realize their purpose at first."
Without denying the other party's words, Duan Qing continued in a low voice: "However, due to the reputation of Yutianshishi, I still accepted the request of those little guys... What are you looking at? I could have called it that at that time,
Is there a problem?"
"No problem, no problem, you are our senior... please continue."
"Anyway, I taught them some simple techniques, nothing related to the Yi Sword."
As if he had finally fallen into the atmosphere of memories, Duan Qing's voice became deeper: "The little guys are very energetic, and they have been scolded by me often. Some of them...
He also showed good talent at that time.”
"There is one person among them... I remember his name is Qiu Mingyang. It's a pretty good name." Sitting cross-legged at a high place, his eyes gradually focused on one point: "He is very diligent and is never afraid of being bullied by me. Whenever something happens,
When he doesn’t understand a combat skill, he will always come to us for advice as soon as possible..."
"Qiu Mingyang?" The two brothers, who were sitting side by side as audience members, looked at each other: "Is there such a person among professional players?"
"...Of course not, because he died a long time ago." Duan Qing replied expressionlessly: "He died three years ago."
"...because you taught him the sword?"
"Even the main members of Cruhid at that time, I didn't teach them anything about Yi Sword." Duan Qing shook his head and replied: "Huanmeng had quarreled with me many times because of this matter.
But when that incident happened...he thought it was me secretly granting him permission."
"Wait a minute, can you explain it piece by piece?"
"Now I want to say that I can't understand it, because there are many things I don't understand."
His eyes lost their original look as they gradually condensed, and Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "In short, that little guy somehow learned how to use the Yi Sword, and later he still showed off his power in the world of the rise of the empire for a while.
After challenging several masters among civilian players, he even excitedly declared to us that he would soon live up to his name and bring glory to the guild and the team..."
"Then...he disappeared?"
"No, including the few people he got along well with."
Answering Duan Fenglei's natural question, Duan Qing looked up at the sky that was gradually covered by clouds: "We found them in the team training camp at that time. They all died in their respective game cabins. The alliance's
People later took over the investigation of the incident, but they ultimately did not come to any valid conclusions."
"The matter ended up being settled, and the league finally chose to conceal it." He let out a long breath after saying this: "They believe that this incident will have a bad impact on the virtual game industry, and it will also have a negative impact on the champions including me.
The reputation of the teams, including the favorites, will have a huge impact."
"...What's the cause of death?"
"Nervous exhaustion."
Duan Qing buried his head deeply and put his hands on his knees: "Since then, I have never mentioned Yi Jian."
"...Didn't the people from the Alliance let you go in the end?"
"No, it wasn't them who didn't let me go, it was the Duan family."
His eyes were buried in the movement of lowering his head, and Duan Qing's back began to rise and fall violently: "No matter how hard you hide it, the family patriarchs and heads of families with the highest interests still can't hide it.
Some people have long hated the words "Sky-Breaking Blade", and perhaps they have already spotted this opportunity to exert pressure... Soon, I received an order from my father, and he asked me to withdraw.
In this world of 'not doing business properly' in the virtual game world, go back and inherit the Duan family business."
"That day happened to be the day I finished playing in the UEFA Cup finals. I received the communication in the corridor of celebration." His head seemed to be buried deeper and deeper: "Then...I retired."
"Is it because of this?" After waiting quietly for a while, Duan Fenglei said in a calm voice: "Forgive me for not understanding it, but the leader of the noble family should not give up on you easily because of the pressure brought by these few lives.
The value of it, right? You are not..."
"That was my last day as the eldest son of the Duan family."
As if he understood what the other party's doubts were, Duan Qing raised his head and interrupted the other party: "When I returned to Duan's house, what I saw was not my father's serious face, but that he was already lying on the hospital bed unconscious.
The family then accused me of being the last straw that made my father angry, and then deprived me of my status as the heir of the Duan family..."
"What?" Duan Fenglei asked in surprise: "How is it possible? The Duan family was also one of the famous families at that time. How could it be possible to change the successor at will just because of this matter?"
"This is enough, because the person who made this decision is the current head of the Duan family, my dear uncle." Duan Qing's voice was like a low cry from under the Nine Netherworld: "Everything has been done a long time ago.
Everything has been arranged...I'm afraid it has been arranged before this series of events happened."
"Now that I think about it...the original head of the Duan family, Duan Qingchun, did have news of a similar accident during that time." Duan Shanhe raised his chin in a low voice: "...and then what? Then you left?
"
"Don't think they can let me go so easily. If I hadn't left early, I might have died several times." Duan Qing shook his head and replied: "You should also be aware of the fights between big families.
You know, dirty and dirty are just words used to describe the mildest methods, and after the Duan family found that they could not completely extinguish my only flame with all their means, they used all the methods to describe it.
Those things were brought before the league."
"If I show the slightest sign of wanting to stir up trouble in the future, they will make the culprits who killed those young people known to the public."
Pointing at the clouds that had become turbid due to the height of the Sky City, Duan Qing let out a few self-deprecating laughs: "This..."
"That's probably the ultimate meaning of the rumors you hear now." (To be continued)
