"Actually, what I want to say is that giving up is also a kind of courage."
"Especially when you have nothing to lose by giving up."
"The ultimate sublimation test is really difficult. People who can pass it often have outstanding talents."
"Once the trial starts, it cannot be stopped. You must think carefully before proceeding."
Fang Linyan said in surprise:
"I remember you said that I have the authority to stop and admit failure at any time."
John said:
"Yes, you have actually entered the final trial now. You can stop at any time and admit failure, but you cannot officially start it."
Fang Linyan said:
"Okay, please bring up the selectable battlefield map and let me take a look."
John waved his hand, and a holographic projection of the relevant map appeared directly on the coffee table.
Such as mountains, oceans, cities, plains, hills, etc.
Meanwhile John added:
"The selected map areas are all areas that exist in the known world. You will be dropped directly into them after the war begins."
"However, the duel between you can only be within a limited range. You can choose this range, which can be as wide as hundreds of square kilometers or as narrow as hundreds of square kilometers."
After hearing this, Fang Linyan said:
"If it is an area where the known world exists, wouldn't there be ordinary humans in it?"
John said:
"Yes, you can remove this if you mind. And there won't be any contractors in the area where you are dueling."
"We can also be responsible for controlling the local government and ensuring that no external forces such as the police and the military interfere with your duel."
Fang Linyan said thoughtfully:
"Since there is no control over the size of the duel, then there must be a time limit?"
John said:
"There is no time limit, but if your duel lasts for more than four hours."
"There will be beams of light on both of you that reveal the approximate location."
"This light beam is the same as the light beam in the joint trial you participated in."
"Initially, the light pillar will only appear for ten minutes, and then it will appear every hour. Each time it appears, the light pillar will last twice as long."
John continued seriously:
"And although your clone's action mode will be set to imitate your behavior, it will still add some positive and passive elements to it, or implant some memories of the deep hatred between the two of you."
"For example, if the combat power of both of you is about the same, we will launch an aggressive and violent attack on you."
"After adding this kind of passive character element, there will be no chance that the clone will be seriously injured and leave a psychological shadow, and then simply hide and passively avoid fighting."
"Of course, this approach has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is of course that the clone has a very active will to fight, and it is not even ruled out that it will die with you."
Fang Linyan sighed and said:
"This setting of yours is really cruel... Just create three identical clones, and they share my hatred of killing my father and taking my wife."
Speaking of which, Fang Linyan added:
"By the way, when we entered the world, it probably didn't happen randomly."
"In this case, it would have been a very unfair duel."
"In case of a small probability event, assign them to me as soon as I enter... That will be a fatal mission."
John said:
"No, you will abide by one rule when you come, that is, the distance between you two will be kept at a safe distance."
Fang Linyan said:
"Okay, got it."
He turned over the map, browsed it carefully for a while, and then said:
"Okay, I'm going to start setting it up now."
"I will carry these skills into the sublimation trial..."
"I will enter the sublimation trial with the following equipment..."
"Well, you also need to bring some general points and potential points."
"Finally, I applied to select this map as the starting map for the war."
"Settings completed, please start the joint trial in ten minutes!"
John looked at the settings made by Fang Linyan and said with great interest:
"Interesting, really interesting. I haven't seen a setting like yours for a long, long time."
"It seems that you are very confident, but based on the laws of our artificial intelligence, I still want to remind you one last time."
"The ultimate trial is extremely risky. You still have the right to abort it. Once you enter, you cannot abort it. Please consider carefully before entering."
Fang Linyan said:
"I've thought it through clearly, go!"
John smiled and said:
"Then please wait for my prompt."
After almost ten minutes,
John said to Fang Linyan:
"Okay, if you go out through this door, the sublimation trial will officially begin. If there are any rules you don't understand, you can ask again."
Fang Linyan nodded and said cheerfully:
"You explained it very clearly. There is no need to ask any more questions."
John smiled gently:
"good luck."
Fang Linyan stood up quickly and turned around.
When he found a door appeared behind him, he decisively opened it and walked out.
The moment he went out, Fang Linyan was in a trance, feeling that the world in front of him was rippling like water waves.
Then stand firmly.
From the front of the opened door, a large amount of sunlight poured in.
Dazzling, bright, and with a hint of irritable residual heat.
Fang Linyan instinctively narrowed his eyes.
When I looked back, I realized that there was a door behind me. It was clearly a brick wall!
Just after Fang Linyan left, John, a kind old man, also stood up, with a strange smile suddenly showing on his face.
Immediately afterwards, John's face and figure became blurred.
And the next second, he turned into Fang Linyan!
Then John's figure blurred again, one into three!
Then, these three people who looked exactly the same showed the same mysterious smile on their lips,
Then they lined up in a uniform pace, pointed at the other door and walked out.
***
At this time, the sky was clear, there were white clouds in the sky, and the sun was already setting in the west.
This makes the originally scorching sunshine begin to lose its power.
There was a worn-out full-length mirror leaning against the wall next to it, which illuminated Fang Linyan's appearance at this time.
Although his face remains the same, his clothes have been changed into a hip-hop style outfit, which perfectly blends in with the atmosphere of this world.
At this time, he was standing on the roof platform of a five-story hotel. Waiters were already setting up a barbecue grill behind him.
A turkey basted with rosemary, onion juice and fennel has been skewered.
Sizzling on the fire, exuding a charming fragrance.
There were all kinds of people walking side by side on the street, and the engine of a classic car roared at the top of its lungs as it passed quickly from a distance.
On the tall building next to it, there is a huge billboard, on which a black man wearing No. 24 basketball uniform is smiling.
The background text of the billboard clearly reads: Where Miracles Happen/82 Points!
At the bottom is the words "Los Santos welcomes you."
Almost five kilometers away, a gorgeous light curtain rose up, huge, wide and vast.
If you look down from above, it would be like an extremely huge soap bubble, covering an urban area of fifteen square kilometers with Fang Linyan as its core.
The original residents cannot see this light curtain, but they can walk through it at will.
This is the scope of the Ascension Trial Battle Zone.
Fang Linyan and the clone are not allowed to pass through this light curtain.
In a sense, this place is their cemetery, and only the bones of the other party can be used to build a way out.
Fang Linyan's eyes finally stopped at a sign called "San Diego Modification Factory", and a smile appeared on his face.
He turned around and scanned the entire city, with a smile in his eyes:
"My clones, you should have entered this city too, right?"
"Do you like the battlefield I chose?"
***
Five minutes later, Fang Linyan had already walked directly out of the building.
He appeared in a nearby alley, and not long after, he drove out in a first-generation Dodge Challenger.
With his powerful metal touch talent at this time, it is really not easy to steal this car.
In his impression, this classic car is expensive and has won the favor of many collectors.
In fact, it was the same. It only took about ten minutes for Fang Linyan to come out of a car wash whistling.
The stolen car was left at the car wash, and he already had an extra $6,300 in his pants pocket.
The owner of the car wash was very satisfied with the deal, because once the car Fang Linyan drove was resold, it would bring him almost five times the profit.
Then, Fang Linyan came to the "San Diego Modification Factory" two blocks away.
