On the morning of the fourth day after returning, it started to drizzle in the capital. Bei Gaoyang was wearing a gray cotton pajamas, holding a cigarette between the fingers of his right hand. He stood expressionlessly in front of the window, looking at
Out of sight blocked by tall buildings.
After chatting that night, Yu Qingdong never appeared by his side. Not only that, the popular chairman seemed to be forgotten in the corner of this city. Apart from the high-standard arrangements and reception, there were only tight protection measures.
.
Under such circumstances, Ms. Josephine's request to take a walk around this strange and "weird" city was not met. A five-star hotel in Novotel seemed to have become the archmage and the fallen angel of light.
's prison.
Of course, the people and facilities that can imprison the two of them do not yet exist on this planet, but Bei Gaoyang must show rational cooperation and attitude. This place is different from Canaan. Personal qualities are equal to all living beings, but collective, civilization, technology and
The combined power of the tools is daunting.
Besides, what's the point of even breaking up with each other? What he needs is cooperation and support, not hostility and hatred.
Of course, Josephine didn't understand this. She was surprised by the restraint of the 'Man with a Thousand Faces'. This was completely different from the bold guy she knew who led the puppets and undead army to attack the 'Bastille' of the Holy See of Light.
.
"Give me one!"
The fallen angel of light came to her side, curiously asked for a cigarette, lit it and took a careful puff, frowning in confusion, and the green smoke slowly escaped from her body.
——This look is very cute!
Bei Gaoyang smiled, pinched the cigarette butt with two fingers, and turned it into ashes. He opened the window and let the continuous drizzle blow in. Feeling the coolness and moistness, he sighed deeply.
"What do you think of the world?", he asked?
The fallen angel of light took another deep breath and frowned slightly upon hearing this, "Arrogant!"
"What else?"
"Lazy!"
Arrogance is easy to understand, laziness...is also easy to understand.
Isn’t that just ‘lazy’?
Because of laziness, people here invent all kinds of "lazy" tools. Because of laziness, science and technology have exploded and progressed. Because of laziness...
never mind.
"What else?"
"desire!"
Bei Gaoyang was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Materialistic desires?"
Josephine imitated Bei Gaoyang, holding a cigarette between her fingers, and imitating him to bring it to her lips, "More than one, all kinds!"
"Aren't there any good places?"
Josephine was silent for a while before saying, "Soul!"
Haha, this is really... everyone can see it.
Yes, soul!
The quality of the souls here is countless times higher. Their knowledge and experience are as good as those of the indigenous people in Canaan. It can be said that you can just grab a random person on the street and compare them with the knowledge and skills of those in Canaan.
Compared with elites, there will be no suspense in the result.
No one understands the ignorance and backwardness of Canaan better than Bei Gaoyang. It is the same with humans, the elves, the dwarves, the main material plane, and the lost plane.
It is more ignorant and backward than the Middle Ages on Earth.
The soul is the basis of mystery, the soul is the source of all extraordinary things, the soul is everything in Canaan, the gods are just parasites lying on the soul, the so-called Gaia consciousness and the abyss consciousness are not the convergence of billions of souls
'What?
Let's put it this way, even if there is no magic network, allowing one million people from this world to travel to Canaan can still poke a hole in the ruling order of the gods. Once they understand the mystery and find certain mysterious rules, extraordinary
The secret was no more difficult for them than inventing the steam engine.
In such a magical desert, aren't they doing well?
Relying on such a population, the fourth natural disaster built in the name of players has the potential to shatter an old world and build a new world. Otherwise, why not the mind flayers? As we all know, the mind flayers are also of the exocrystal wall system.
Invasive species, look at it now, their psychic abilities are almost 'assimilated'.
The rain kept falling, and it got even heavier until noon. Bei Gaoyang kept standing at the window, and a translucent 'rain curtain' gradually formed in front of him. Although the window was open, he didn't get wet at all, and all the rainwater was absorbed.
The rain curtain keeps out the outside.
The cool water vapor that filtered through the rain curtain made him feel very comfortable. His eyes were blurred, as if he was looking at something in a trance, but it seemed like he was not looking at anything.
The Fallen Angel of Light didn't have as much thought as him. She came with her this time for a 'vacation'. Although she couldn't go out, she had plenty of ways to achieve her goal in another way.
Outside the hotel, a female security guard shivered violently, and then her facial expression and temperament changed drastically. She first looked at the room she was in, and curiously came to a computer display screen to see a man in his twenties.
A year-old woman with short hair skillfully types on the keyboard.
"What are you doing?", she asked.
"Oh, I'm going to die. It's shocking." The short-haired woman turned around and pushed her gently, "You know what I'm doing, what do you think I'm doing?"
"Surveillance?"
"You know now? What's wrong with you? You haven't woken up yet?"
"No, no!" Josephine laughed, left the short-haired woman, and walked around the small room.
Then she left the room. The experience of high heels made her lift her feet in a novel way. The stockings on her calves gave her a particularly weird touch. After a few steps, she got used to the feeling of walking on tiptoes. She could not help but swing her waist and carry it with her.
The crisp footsteps of high heels came to the window of the corridor.
Looking out from here, the fence surrounded by iron sheets was clearly visible, and the unfamiliar words written on it were not difficult for her. The holes in her eyes only narrowed and expanded several times before she could understand the content above.
Iron Twelve Bureau or whatever...
There was a lot of traffic outside the fence, and the city bathed in rain made her as timid as if she were entering the abyss for the first time. Josephine thought of arriving in the material world upon "invitation" from the Kingdom of Light, approaching the capital of the human kingdom for the first time, and seeing countless
Mortals are like ants...the impact they received at that time.
However, that experience was far inferior to this one. No, there is no comparison between the two. One is reality and the other is... a dream.
An unfamiliar crystal wall system!
Josephine didn't have much time. If he found out that she had sneaked out, she might be punished for doing those things again.
A pair of black and white phantom wings appeared behind her, and with a slight flutter, she flew out of the window, crossed the iron fence, and flew to a different world that made her timid, curious, and even more fascinating.
In the supervision room, Li Shaohua just took a sip of coffee and looked at the picture sent back by the AI camera. "Pfft!" was sprayed on the screen.
He was stunned for about 2 seconds and subconsciously pressed the red button next to him.
Five minutes later, a figure with phantom wings on its back appeared on all the screens, just like Batman avoiding people's sight and flying everywhere in the high-rise buildings and bustling city.
"Yes, it's Wang Qing!
"
A short-haired woman in her twenties pointed at the close-up face on the screen, as if she had seen a ghost.
"Wang Qing, who is Wang Qing?"
"I, I, am a member of our monitoring team."
"What?"
The Fallen Angel of Light was completely unaware of all this. She could finally come out and take a good tour of this incredible city for her.
She landed in a remote alley, which was the back door of a restaurant's kitchen. Two bicycles were parked at the door, and in a small truck, a tall and round chef was unloading baskets of ingredients from the truck.
Josephine raised her chin slightly and walked towards the entrance of the alley. The oncoming chef was carrying tall boxes of ingredients. Her sight was blocked and she did not see the oncoming woman. She was about to bump into her.
Josephine's body flew up and landed behind the cook. She curiously looked at the bullfrogs, snakes, pheasants and other live things in the food box. After thinking about it, she followed him into the hotel kitchen.
As soon as she entered, the rich smell of fireworks mixed with the aroma of frying made her lean back slightly.
A chef who was stirring a spoon saw her and was about to shout something when Josephine snapped her fingers. The chef's eyes were confused for a moment and he ignored her.
Walking up to the chef, he looked at the ingredients sizzling in the pot, and looked around to see more than a dozen chefs who were busy and unhurried, cooking dishes with delicious colors and flavors.
A chef had just prepared a dish that could be called a work of art. He rang the bell and the chef came in to prepare the dishes, but found that the dishes were empty.
Josephine walked and ate while carrying dishes that could be called works of art. She walked out of the kitchen and came to the lobby on the first floor, which was full of diners.
Well-dressed men and women sat at exquisite and clean dining tables, talking and joking in a low voice while enjoying the amazing food. The exquisite and luxurious decoration, clean and bright floors, no part of it was not elegant.
with exquisite details…
These people enjoy luxuries that kings and nobles cannot enjoy, but their spirit, consciousness and soul are still not satisfied.
A hurried takeaway boy had an argument with the person at the counter. Josephine went over and listened with interest. She didn't understand. It turned out that this person was specially delivering food to people. Because of the time delay, it seemed that
It affected his income, so...
How lazy!
Can everyone in this world enjoy these without leaving home?
With such curiosity, she walked out of the hotel and came to a busy pedestrian street.
Under the rain curtain, although there were few pedestrians, shops of all sizes were still open. She casually walked into a women's clothing store and her eyes lit up when she looked at the countless clothes.
Ten minutes later, she changed into a pure white dress, put on a wide-brimmed lady's hat that must be very artistic, carried a delicate red bag, and walked out with high heels.
At the door, she put on her sunglasses, opened a flower umbrella, smiled toothily, raised her chin slightly, and joined the crowd of people who were gradually shrinking under the rain.
After she left, two hurried civil servants rushed into the store, and then rushed out again.
At the hotel, Yu Qingdong met his chairman again after two days of absence.
"I thought you wouldn't come again... Hehe, sit down, sit down!"
"It's true that I've been a little busy these days." Yu Qingdong nodded and bowed, and carefully sat across from him.
"How's it going? Is there any good news?" Bei Gaoyang asked with a smile.
"Uh...the results of the physical examination are out."
Bei Gaoyang suppressed his smile, "How is it?"
"The good news is that the most worrying...well, the situation, the player's...abnormalities, are not contagious. Of course, the final conclusion has not been drawn yet, and we need to continue to observe."
"Are you worried about...the plague?"
"...Yes, all aspects need to be considered."
"I promise, there will never be the kind of plague you know!" Bei Gaoyang said seriously.
"But... what about people outside of our acquaintance?"
Bei Gaoyang smiled.
"You can't guarantee it, right? You've seen so many cases...haven't you found the cause?"
"What about the bad news?"
"The bad news is that many, about one-third of the players, have more or less similar symptoms, including psychological, cognitive and physical symptoms."
Bei Gaoyang nodded, "What are you going to do?"
"After comprehensive consideration of various factors and careful, serious and scientific argumentation, we decided to build a new gathering area with players as the main body, which can also be said to be a city."
Bei Gaoyang frowned.
"You can rest assured that the business of Canaan and Canaan Company will not be affected, and relevant information will be strictly controlled within the scope of insiders. However, in the future... we need to understand and master more information about Canaan..." Yu Qingdong said.
, while carefully observing the face on the other side, "Please understand, we have no choice but to do this..."
Bei Gaoyang waved his hand, "What information do you need?"
"Uh... players' online behavior data, game operation mechanisms, principles and technical information, certain management rights, etc."
Yu Qingdong spoke with trembling fear, fearing that the other party would fall out.
Unexpectedly, Bei Gaoyang didn't seem to be much touched. He pondered for a moment and said, "I can hand over the complete operation rights to you."
Yu Qingdong was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "You, what did you say?"
Bei Gaoyang smiled, "In the past, I didn't let you get involved in online content, functions and operations because Canaan was still immature. It's different now. All aspects of the game are on track. It's time to leave it to you to take charge of operations."
and managed.”
"Are you...serious?"
"certainly!"
Yu Qingdong breathed several times, his fingers trembling with excitement, "Including those 6 places..."
"certainly!"
This bait is too powerful.
Even Yu Qingdong couldn't believe it.
Before the conversation was over, he left the hotel in a daze and almost fell down the stairs when he went down the steps!
"I forgot to tell you that angel feathers are very effective in treating most diseases, negative conditions, aging and even extending life. I gave you one yesterday..."
The voice was still echoing in his ears. When he saw people in black suits surrounding him, he grabbed one of them and asked, "Where's that feather?"
The man in the black suit pushed him into the car without saying a word.
