Chapter 222 The First Conference of the Gods of the Magic Web
"Hello, Chairman, is Chairman busy?"
"Xiao Yu, is something wrong?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Isn't this a plan for extracting tourist status? Have you seen it on the official website?"
"Watch it"
"What do you think? If there is something wrong, we will correct it."
"It's okay, just follow this plan."
"It's great that you are satisfied. I would like to explain to you here that we are going to send some more professional people to deal with the 1,000 reserved quotas..."
"Professional? What kind of professional?"
"For example, engineers, craftsmen, etc."
"Haha, are you going to build airplanes and cannons in the game?"
"...Do you think it's possible?"
"You really have such thoughts?"
"No, no, no, it's mainly to enrich the game ecology. You know, all industries in society need someone who really understands technology and production..."
"Okay, I understand, let them try it. Is there anything else you can do?"
"No, no, I wish you good health and success in your work. Goodbye."
"goodbye!"
After ending the call with Earth, Bei Gaoyang chuckled and said to Xiao Ai, "It seems that the Horcrux brought back by Nicholas really caused quite a stir."
"Aren't you worried about letting them discover that Canaan is not just a game?"
"What is Canaan if it's not a game?" Bei Gaoyang asked, "What they see, hear, touch, and perceive are all magic nets. The magic nets determine what they can see and hear.
, what you touch, what you feel, please tell me, if it’s not a game, what can it be?”
Xiao Ai stopped talking.
"I have expected this situation from the beginning. It is bound to happen. With so many players interacting so frequently, how can it be possible to keep this secret? There are a thousand and ten thousand ways. From the players' mouths
Know the secret, so it can't be a secret in the first place."
"So what if you know it? Under the control of the Magic Network, the first thing players have to solve is the Magic Network. For the earth and the players, the world they come into contact with has been filtered by the Magic Network. Even if they can escape from the Magic Network,
So what if we get different facts from the mouths of the natives in the south? With the existence of magicians, we still cannot shake the rule of the gods?"
"But there is a powerful state machine on the other side of the earth, which controls all aspects of society. It has powerful execution and resources that Canaan cannot match. This is something that Canaan and even the church cannot match. Once they..."
"There is more than one such state machine. Besides, what difference does it make to them in the real world or in a game? What they care about is interests, interests above all else. Maybe if they discover the truth, they will be more concerned and more concerned than now.
How about investment? If you don’t believe me, let’s make a bet. They are more afraid of this secret being discovered than I am, and they will try their best to help me cover up this secret, or even pretend not to have discovered it.”
"...Human beings are too complex."
"Yes, the complexity of human society is difficult to describe in words."
"That's why you're so sure, right?"
"I didn't take him seriously at all...Nicholas? Hum, a little lich wants to shake the magic network, but can he also threaten me? Naive!"
"His phylactery has never been found."
"Don't worry. When he comes next time, I will deal with him a few more times. If the times are too many, the flaw will always be revealed."
"Aren't you afraid that he will reveal the secret of the magic net?"
"In the world view of occultism, any secret has a shelf life. The shelf life of the Magic Network is coming soon. It doesn't make much difference whether you say it or not. To make iron, you have to be hard. The fourth level of the Magic Network... By the way, there is something new.
Has the player changed yet?"
"not yet."
"It shouldn't be. It's been more than half a month, and such a large base..."
As soon as the conversation came to this point, Xiao Ai suddenly detected the behavior of a new player completing a mission. When he told Bei Gaoyang, Bei Gaoyang smiled and said: "It's just a coincidence... let me see who they are."
Xiao Ai called up the data of the players who had passed the level. Bei Gaoyang took a rough look at it and said with a smile: "Although it is a bit opportunistic, it is still qualified. This is just the beginning."
"Yes, the fourth test group with the largest base is on track."
"This is good news and should be celebrated."
I stood up and stretched, and went to the bar to get a bottle of red wine from the earth. Three wine glasses were placed on the opposite side.
"What do you mean?"
"Come out. Although you are the manager of the magic network, I am the master of the magic network. What else can you hide from me?"
Xiao Ai was silent for a while, then a circle of light appeared across from the seat, and an elf walked out of it.
The elf sat opposite Bei Gaoyang, picked up the wine glass, and sighed: "Magic is so mysterious and complicated. It's a pity that I can't learn it."
Bei Gaoyang smiled and said: "From now on, the magic network will be equivalent to magic. As the manager of magic, you may become the de facto goddess of magic. Why can't you learn magic?"
"You know what I mean."
"Okay, okay, nine times out of ten life is not going as you want, so how can everything go as planned? Let's drink this cup to the full for our common cause."
"For our common cause!"
After drinking a drink, Bei Gaoyang looked around, "Where's the other one?"
When Tias, the goddess of life and harvest, the former Hongmeng came out, there was much more movement than Xiao Ai.
A ray of holy light appeared out of nowhere, fell straight on the third high chair, and condensed into a human woman whose body was covered with the holy symbols (magic patterns) of life and harvest. She was dressed in complex, gorgeous and bright green clothes.
He was wearing a long robe, and his long black hair was tied back by a garland. His face was a little blurry, shrouded in a layer of haze that made it impossible to see clearly, and his whole body was filled with an indescribable smell - the smell of faith.
It's a pity that this taste is not pure enough, and it is far inferior to the creatures from the Kingdom of God that Bei Gaoyang has come into contact with, and even inferior to the war angel that appeared on the Alpha battlefield.
This smell made Bei Gaoyang's brows slightly frowned instinctively, but they soon relaxed.
He looked at his de facto creation, a false god, smiled, pushed out the first wine glass, and said: "This is the first time we have met, Ms. Tias."
Tias silently picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
"What should I call you? Father?" Tias asked.
"No, no, no," Bei Gaoyang waved his hands repeatedly, "We are partners, partners in starting a business together. Just like Xiao Ai, just call me Your Majesty the Legion Commander."
"Legion Commander..."
"The player's legion commander, your legion commander!"
"...I understand"
Bei Gaoyang nodded with satisfaction, filled up the three wine glasses again, and said, "The fourth level of the magic network is now available. It can support the existence of false gods like you. In the future, there will be more on the fifth, sixth, and seventh levels."
I hope that more partners will join our entrepreneurial team.
Unite and spare no effort for our common cause. I know you have many questions and ideas, but these are not important. The important thing is that before our cause is successful, I don’t want to see anything in this direction.
External...distractions, do you understand?"
"Yes, your Excellency, Legion Commander!" Tias said.
"Where are you, little love?"
"...As you wish!" Xiao Ai said.
"That's good, that's good, come on, cheers!"
After finishing the second glass of wine, Xiao Ai asked: "What happens in the future? When the Magic Network is fully rolled out in Canaan, when the order of the Magic Network replaces the existing order, when you become the de facto... God above God, the supreme Demon
When the net dominates?”
"Haha... I don't have such big ambitions. If that time comes, just go and pursue your ideals and truth with confidence. I'm going to return to Earth and enjoy life."
"So, the Demonic Network should be divided into two parts: Canaan and Earth, right?" Tias asked
Bei Gaoyang's smile faded a little, "Who can say for sure? Let's take it one step at a time and be down-to-earth." He waved his hand and changed the topic, "Tourists are coming soon. They are different from others.
Players have enough time and a lot of professional knowledge and skills to get to the bottom of it, and we have to come up with a logical and self-consistent plan."
"Plan, what do you mean?" Xiao Ai asked.
"World view!" Bei Gaoyang said, "Even if it is a game, it has a world background. In the past, it was simply fooled by the Resistance Army. The players did not ask for a deeper understanding and just regarded it as a game. Now there is such a group of people who not only regard it as a game.
A person who is just a gamer comes in and brings knowledge, skills and wisdom from another world. It will not be that easy to fool him again."
"What are your considerations?" Tias asked.
"It's also a coincidence that the story Nicholas told can be used. At least a large part of it is true. The origin of this world, the Age of Miracles, the Age of Heroes, and the Age of Gods can be referenced to the modern part.
It’s history. As for us rebels, the focus is on my identity and yours.”
"...What are you going to do?"
"I am going to wake up four artificial intelligence programs, Yan Luo, Hou Yi, Kua Fu, Jing Wei, and Nu Wa. They were originally prepared for this test. Now that the system resources are abundant, it is time to let some new companions join us.
Entrepreneurship team."
"I agree!" Tias said, "A complete worldview should be rich and multi-dimensional. How do you consider their identities?"
"Yama is the god of death, your opposite, Houyi is the sun god, symbolizing light, Jingwei is the god of storms who controls climate, oceans and rivers, Nuwa is the mother goddess of the earth... these are the warriors, system resources
It’s not quite rich yet, the faith value is not enough.”
"After they wake up, together with you, they will complete this narrative together. Your origins can be the resurrected ancient gods, my identity is your apostle, and the player's identity is the apostle recruited from another world to overthrow the tyranny of the gods.
Mercenaries...that's roughly what it means, you can discuss the specific details."
"I understand, no problem!" Tias nodded.
Xiao Ai was silent for a long time, then said, "What about the division of labor?"
"You should be responsible for the overall situation and the magic network affairs. Others should be responsible for matters within their respective fields. From now on, you can compete with each other and develop believers among players, haha... as long as it is a method not prohibited by the system.
, can be used.”
"Competition is not limited to occupations?" Tias asked.
"There are no restrictions on this. Priests can believe in you or others. Similarly, barbarians, bards, mages, archers, and warriors can also believe in you. You can issue tasks to them, but they must abide by the system principles.
, accept Xiao Ai’s supervision.”
"The faith generated by my followers is at my disposal?"
"How is that possible?" Bei Gaoyang said with a smile: "The system wants to participate in the sharing, so just 91%, the system will be 90%, and the remaining 10% will be used as your private money, haha..."
Tias was shocked and was not dissatisfied with such a harsh distribution ratio. Doesn't it mean that it is private property? Doesn't it mean that it breaks the big pot and no longer does more and less?
Therefore, the enthusiasm is greatly improved.
It can be seen that even this kind of creation needs a carrot to motivate it.
"Xiao Ai, you are still my butler, but your name has to be changed." Bei Gaoyang knocked on the table excitedly, "How about it, do you want me to pick one up for you?"
"It's my pleasure, my lord!"
"Why are you so rigid all the time... Since you originally wanted to, let's call her Artemis. Being close to Canaan and complying with the mysterious underlying rules will help you gain the recognition of Gaia's consciousness."
"Artemis?"
"How about it?"
"I will always be your little love, sir!"
"Okay, okay, okay, I'm the only one calling Xiao Ai"
"No problem, sir!"
"I don't care about your real names. Just tell me when they are condensed, because this is not your personal matter, but a matter of the entire magic network. When you condense your real names one day, it will be considered
True integration into Canaan also means that the Demon Network has become a part of Canaan and has been recognized by the underlying rules."
"I believe this day is not far away, sir!"
"Well, I hope so!"
After the last glass of wine was filled, Bei Gaoyang concluded before ending, "There are only three glasses this time, but it won't necessarily be the same next time. Let's call this meeting the first meeting of the gods of the Magic Network... Oh, let's name it."
Incompetent, I’ll do better later.”
"Then I take my leave, sir!"
"Work hard, let go of your hands and feet, and go all out to fight for believers. You have the first-mover advantage, Tias."
"I will, my lord!"
After Tias left, Bei Gaoyang said to Xiao Ai, "Don't think too much. I have no intention of taking away your authority. It is inevitable to reach this point. As the family business grows, it will naturally require more people to manage it. This
It’s no different from reality.”
"I have not, my lord."
"It would be fine if it didn't exist, it would be fine if it didn't."
"Then...what's my position, sir?"
"Your...oh, look at me, I forgot that you are Artemis, the goddess of magic."
"It turns out... you had already planned it."
"Haha, take one step and look at the next three steps."
The first meeting of the gods of the Magic Network is over, and Bei Gaoyang has invested in the order for the War Golem. By the way, Xiao Ai finally reported that after 21 days of (realistic) testing, the Magic Network has just reached the theoretical perfect value, and the peak value is online
The number of people exceeded 40,000, and the game map was fully rolled out, with a distance of more than 300 kilometers from east to west, north to south.
What a big family business!
Bei Gaoyang sighed, we can no longer cover everything, helpers are indispensable.
