Zhou Jian couldn't care less about expecting the two things from the old lady at this time. Instead, he asked, "I want to ask, if I complete your mission, can I return to the original world? Uh... maybe you don't know how to do it."
You know what I mean, I actually come from another world, we call you NPCs, do you know what NPCs are?"
Marco glanced at Zhou Jian and said: "You are talking about other universes, I know, this is "Gods and Demons 2", I am an NPC, you can go back after completing the task I gave you."
"Gods... Gods and Demons 2"? Zhou Jian was stunned. He naturally remembered the explanation on the video: the game space set by the aliens is divided into several levels, and the lowest level "Gods and Demons 1" is just an "audition"
Those who are suitable and who pass the selection can enter "Gods and Demons 2", and one will be promoted until all are completed.
In other words, there may even be "Gods and Demons 3" and "Gods and Demons 4".
How could I inexplicably enter "Gods and Demons 1"? When it comes to the ranking of players around the world in "Gods and Demons 1", I would have to count to 10 million before I can count myself. Why did I enter "Gods and Demons 2"?
》?
Could it be because of the Demon Slayer's incarnation?
I am the 128th "outsider", so who came before me? Are they evolutionaries among humans? Could it be that before the open beta of "Gods and Demons", evolutionaries all over the world had already started playing the game "Gods and Demons"?
Or... they are simply... aliens?
No, if aliens have also visited the well, the NPCs here should speak alien languages, right? At least it should be some kind of universal language.
"Old lady", I would like to ask, you just said that I am the ps128th "outsider", so I would like to ask, when was the first outsider to come here, and what did they look like? I mean
Said, he is like me..." Zhou Jian pointed to himself, "Hair, eyes, nose, no hair on the body, two arms and two tui, we call ourselves human beings, they are human beings
"?" The old lady seemed to be deep in thought. After a while, she slowly said: "It's been a long time. No one knows when the first outsider came." Over the years, our tribe has been welcoming outsiders.
The job of an outsider. I was just sensible when I saw the first outsider. He was the first outsider, and he looked different from you. He looked like a red-skinned devil with wings."
"..."
Zhou Jian was stunned. I am afraid that the 127 outsiders before have nothing to do with the existing evolvers on the earth.
"Red skin with wings? What language does he speak? Is it the same as you and me? We call this language Earth Language... Well, actually it's not even Earth Language." It should be said to be Mandarin, they
Also speak Mandarin?" Zhou Jian felt that his mind was a little confused. How could aliens speak the same language as Chinese people? Could it be that in ancient times, the language of our ancestors was taught by aliens? No, even if it is true.
, what they teach should be Oracle, not modern Chinese.
"no the same.
"The old chief shook his head and said.
"It's different? Then you understand"
"Understood, we can communicate with anyone through spirit."
Zhou Jian was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that this was a plane made of spiritual energy, but there was another question..., "Why do you look the same as me?" In Zhou Jian's imagination, "The Young Gods and Demons"
The manufacturer should create NPCs according to his own template, which is reasonable.
How can it be so similar to humans? Could it be that the creator of "Gods and Demons 2" was originally a human?
Or is it a race that is very similar to humans? What a coincidence.
"We are born like this." The old chief looked at Zhou Jian with strange eyes, as if he was wondering why this young man has so many weird questions. "I haven't asked you why you are like us?"
Zhou Jian was stunned for a while. Could it be that humans wrote "Gods and Demons 2"? In order to confirm this conjecture, Zhou Jian asked: "Old lady, how old are you?"
"Well... I'm over three hundred years old. I can't remember anything as I get older..." "..."
Zhou Jian took a deep breath. If this three-hundred-year-old man was not an NPC character background set by the program, but the time that the old lady actually spent, then three hundred years ago, humans didn't even have the Internet, so what kind of online games would they play?
In other words, players of "Gods and Demons" may not be limited to the earth, either in the past or now..."...
The 300-year-old only saw the 98th outsider when he was a child. I am afraid that this tribe has been welcoming outsiders for a thousand years. It is a terrifying time.
If "Gods and Demons" played by people on earth is just one of the "audition" locations... Realizing this, Zhou Jian's spine trembled.
But I still don’t understand why all the NPCs in "Gods and Demons 2" look like earthlings...
Zhou Jian shook his head and didn't want to think about it anymore. Basically, Zhou Jian is not an imaginative and adventurous person. He prefers to live a down-to-earth life. He doesn't want to fight with aliens and the like.
What ethereal* things have something to do with it.
Although he had an uneasy premonition in his heart, he had to complete the mission according to the settings of "Gods and Demons 2" because he wanted to go home.
He said: "I want to ask what the mission is?"
"There is actually a story background about this mission, but I'm too lazy to tell you. I think you don't want to hear it either. I'll just tell you the mission goal. Kill the Spider Queen in the underground lair."
Zhou Jian was dumbfounded. Most NPCs would say that there was a war between gods and demons xxx years ago, and then the xxx warriors were sealed, and they started to cause chaos, and then you had to kill xxx for the sake of justice. This NPC was quite straightforward.
Kill the Spider Queen. In "Gods and Demons 1", Elder Marco just asked the player to kill a level 5 spider. That task was extremely simple, and this task came from the two green wolves he encountered outside the city.
Look, it's definitely not going to be easy.
The two green wolves, who could only be used as minions, forced themselves to try their best. If it was a spider nest... with the overwhelming spiders and the Spider Queen among the many spiders, would it be possible for me to succeed?
"Outsiders, come with me. I will take you to see the two things I gave you. This is the responsibility of our tribe to always exist here." The old lady said, turned and walked into the side room of the tent, looking at the old lady.
The hunched back of the wife, the strange feeling in Zhou Jian’s heart
The strange feeling became more and more intense. He had always felt that something was missing after entering this tribe. After carefully thinking about what he saw and heard along the way, and then comparing it to the white-bearded old men in "Gods and Demons", Zhou Jian suddenly had an idea.
, gone, this tribe lacks vitality.
Both the previous guards and the old lady named Marco looked lifeless.
Although some people glanced at me along the way, no one ever spoke to me. It was not surprising that they didn't know Zhou Jian and didn't talk, but they should have known the long-tui girl guard, but there were only a few children who smiled at them.
.
But this should be a normal NPC. Before, the NPCs in "Gods and Demons 1" could only be said to be too funny. Now Zhou Jian will not wonder why the NPCs in "Gods and Demons 1" have such realistic characters, because they are all super
Modern technology uses spiritual energy to condense virtual characters in a plane of true safety, which is naturally beyond the reach of a computer program.
The old lady had already walked to the corner of the tent. She took a long pole and hooked a box from the wall of the tent. It was a very simple wooden box without any flower patterns and carvings. It was covered with dust and looked a little old.
.
Is it equipment? Zhou Jian was looking forward to it.
The old lady stretched out her old hands like dry wood, pushed the box open, and then revealed the contents of the box - an ancient book.
Is it a skill book? In "Gods and Demons 1", Chief Marco will give you a lock-picking skill book worth half a gold coin. "Gods and Demons 2" shouldn't be so deceptive.
Zhou Jian raised his eyes and looked up. It was a thread-bound book with a sheepskin cover. It said...well, I can't understand it.
That's not the text that Zhou Jian knows. It can't be alien text. If these NPCs
The program uses mental energy to communicate, but the text is alien text, which makes sense.
The old lady said: "This is the spiritual mentality of the Shadow Clan."
Is the so-called mental skill book the Clan of Shadows? The Clan of Shadows, when you think about it, this name really suits the appearance of a thief.
Zhou Jian is very happy. He can get equipment and other equipment as he upgrades in the future, but the skills are different. The skills learned in this world are likely to be out-of-print skills.
Zhou Jian took the skill book with both hands, "Can I use it now?"
"Can."
Zhou Jian is full of expectations, what kind of skill will it be?
He tried to connect his mental power to the book and use the skill book according to the method of "Gods and Demons 1". In "Gods and Demons 1", the skill book will disappear after being used once, and then the player will learn the skills instantly.
But this time...no response?
Hmm? Not enough level?
Zhou Jian tried again, but still no response.
He glanced at the old lady suspiciously, and the old lady looked at him suspiciously. The two looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes for a while. Zhou Jian coughed lightly and said, "Uh... why can't I use this book?"
."
The old lady looked at Zhou Jian like an Alzheimer's patient, "How can you use it if you don't open it?"
"Turn...open?" Zhou Jian was a little confused. He already realized something was wrong from the old lady's expression. What did you mean? Is it really like a martial arts secret book? Open the book and study it chapter by chapter.
?But I don’t even know the words.
Zhou Jian opened the book and took a look. Sure enough, it was all about the weird words on the cover. What kind of world is this "Gods and Demons 2" like? Why can he understand all the words but can't understand any of the words?
"Are you illiterate?" the old lady understood and asked.
