"...I don't know who sent those chicken feet in the end. It's disgusting. The beautiful memories have been tarnished like this. My chicken feet, this is one of my few hobbies."
"Come on, you have so many hobbies. What are chicken feet?"
"Xiaoyu, let me tell you something serious. Why has it become like this offline? I...I don't even know how to describe it. I feel that there is chaos everywhere, and I don't know what is in the fog..."
"The fog is mystery, and it is also the diffraction of people's conscious and subconscious minds. Whatever is in people's thoughts, there is something in the fog, so the fog cannot be cured unless people can control their own thoughts, which is obviously impossible."
"...Some people say that we caused the fog?"
"Yes, the...factors brought back by players and tourists online give people's thoughts a crutch to influence reality. Consciousness can be separated from matter and influence and interfere with reality."
"Your offline research institute is researching fog, right?"
"Um"
"How about it, can you reveal it?"
"Our analysis shows that now is just the prologue. There may be no fog in the future, but rather a precipitate, something more... central than the fog."
"What is the title of a level 6 profession?" Tie Jun's mind was working rapidly, delaying his thinking with gossip.
"Tell me about it?"
"That is to say, it makes you sensitive, irritable, anxious, and fearful. To a certain extent, you will do some extreme things. The SAN value measures the progress of a person's influence and assimilation in the fog. Its
The higher the value, the harder it is for people to control themselves. Control their desires, control their emotions, and control themselves.
Behavior. When it reaches the most serious level, there will be a certain degree of mutation. If the mutation reaches a deep level, a mysterious core will be born. We call it a magic object, which can affect the fog or even control the fog within a certain range. Collect
People’s emotions affect group understanding within a certain range, and even distort some phenomena, results and patterns!”
"It may be the air, it may be the soil, it may be animals and plants... In short, the environment has changed, and people must learn to adapt."
"Um!"
She hummed and prepared to leave. When she reached the door, she remembered that she had forgotten to talk about business.
"It's too cruel. Can we go back to the past?"
"It would take me three days and three nights to explain it all. You just need to remember that the higher the SAN value, the more dangerous it is."
"I heard that you also paid for the Mage Tower?"
——What the hell is this place!
Only then is everything said.
"What about those who can't adapt?"
"knew."
"Hello, Director Iron."
"I know, hang up!"
"Not many, you are the men in black who protect the order offline, a group of silently dedicated law enforcers."
In this way, Xia Miaomiao's motives are very clear.
"It can be said to be poisonous, a chronic and fatal poison, whatever you want to understand."
"Good things, obtained from the astral battlefield. If you think they are useful, make them into equipment for me. If you think they are useless, keep them yourself."
If there is a family, there will naturally be servants, there are groups of maids, old women and mature servants who are shielded from the sight of outsiders - these are all players.
"Your lantern will be delivered in two days, along with some of our internal information, how many departments there are, our responsibilities and obligations, and of course the benefits and benefits..."
"Well, this way the property rights are clear and we will save the hassle in the future."
"The fog continues. It is impossible for our people alone to handle all abnormal events. It is only a matter of time to absorb talents like you... Okay, I can accept you as a peripheral member first. If there is a suitable task, I will
I’m informing you that you have an evaluation period, which is not to evaluate your ability, but..."
That was the result of concentrating the manpower, material resources and wisdom of the national team. It can be imagined how difficult it is for ordinary people to reach level 6 careers by themselves.
"Wow, Mage Tower, you actually have your own Mage Tower"
"Got it."
After finishing the long-distance communication with her best friend, the players in the long-distance communication array pool of a certain player's gang city all looked at her as if she was a wealthy person, chatting with her using the expensive long-distance communication array. What a waste of time.
He was so talented that he talked about several gold coins at a time. This really challenged the cognitive limits of these working dogs.
But such efforts failed.
Xia Miaomiao slapped her forehead and went back to reactivate the long-distance communication array. She called the Guards City in the far north and went through several transfers before reconnecting to her best friend's mage tower.
"I don't know anything else."
"Level 6 profession!?" Tie Jun frowned. He didn't even understand the level 5 profession. Level 6 profession?
It’s not that there are no level 5 professions in the national team, but no one can figure out the promotion conditions for level 5 professions. Even if there is information, it is top secret that he cannot access. It is only possible to get a promotion in terms of position and secret level by making huge contributions.
In this catastrophic 'climate' sweeping the world, offline officials did not just accept the situation. They did many things, trying hard to restore order and find the cause of the fog and solve it.
"You are really...what else do you want to know?"
Looking at the streets, there are really all walks of life, especially the 'service industry', which is really booming. It seems that offline industries have moved online. Players and tourists are 'integrated', but the integration is too thorough.
I completely forgot that it was still wartime and there was such a thing as war patrol angels.
Putting away his complicated thoughts, he organized his words a little, "I heard that you are interested in joining us?"
"What is it?"
"Time's up, 2 gold coins!"
“Just got down”
"Am I not qualified?"
"Or Sanye?"
"The mist... is poisonous, right? For normal people with very low SAN values?"
A bunch of old haters, cut it!
"I forgot to mention it just now. I sent you something. Remember to sign for it."
"I never took it seriously."
Half an hour later, she arrived at the most prosperous place in the city, picked a street-facing seat on the second floor of a pub, ordered a blue-quality set meal, and drank the unique red leaf wine while waiting for someone.
.
"Okay, I understand. How much is my SAN worth? How do I know it?"
"What are you doing? I'm experimenting."
Without this peripheral identity, she would still need to find abnormal events to deal with on her own, which would be a waste of time. Besides, it would never happen again and again.
The system has really carried out appropriationism thoroughly, but why can't it be accommodating in other aspects and become more and more powerful?
"Understand, understand!"
"No, you know we were all selected internally from the beginning."
"Boss, do you want to listen to a little song?"
The two had a good chat and the atmosphere was good. Xia Miaomiao didn't mind becoming a peripheral member of the special disposal team, as long as she could take over the task.
After chatting for more than two hours, the two separated.
"Anyway, I'll pay and talk about two gold coins."
"You'd better log off once every two days. I'm talking about game time. After you log off, pay attention to the package delivery... By the way, there are also lanterns. You have to remember that you must bring a lantern when you go out. Don't overload it and think you are
Being able to come and go freely in the fog, many people have stumbled upon it, and I don’t want to hear the news that you turned into a monster one day."
"...Why is this happening?"
"Yours is very low... We'll talk about this later. Also, quest prompts similar to those online will often appear offline. Don't worry about it. It may be a trick, or it may be... In short, don't compare it with online tasks.
If you are connected to the system, don’t pay too much attention to it, and don’t follow its prompts. Never, ever!”
"Huntian"
Xia Miaomiao was very satisfied with this meeting, which taught her many things.
After that, official solutions from various countries varied, but they all began to think of ways to adapt to the existence of the Great Fog, study its mechanisms, find out its rules, and even turn harm into treasure, using it and the '
"Infinite Quality", clicked on another "technology tree", some research has made great progress, and even achieved things that could not be done before the fog.
"To put it simply, the fog will affect everyone's consciousness and cause everyone's emotions to evolve in extreme directions unconsciously. Do you understand what I mean?"
Xia Miaomiao had never heard of the temple with this person. He was a system deity with a very low sense of existence. He naturally had the fewest things to do and had the lowest requirements, so he became the first choice of some 'bastards'.
"National team"
"what"
"You're being humble... let's get down to business."
But for ordinary people, the Great Fog is definitely a major disaster. The sudden changes in the natural environment have forced the flowers, fruits and plants accustomed to greenhouses to face the wind and rain. Gardeners can no longer provide them with thoughtful protection, laws, ethics,
Ethics can no longer create a safe haven for them.
"Wow, wow, you must be richer than me now, and you still want me to pay for long-distance calls? What a waste."
Xia Miaomiao's word made the bard's smile freeze on his face.
"Well, I think it's interesting."
"So soon? I can't afford to talk. It's too expensive. You have to pay for the next call, once a month, at least!"
"……don't know!"
"Well, I think this can train myself and help me launch an impact on the level 6 profession."
A forty-nine level astonishing person sat opposite Xia Miaomiao. He was a human and a paladin. But looking at the badge he wore, you could tell that he was a bastard.
"Do you think offline...experience will help you break through to level 6 profession?"
"Why...become a man in black?" Tie Junyong said.
"Don't use offline names online... You are Yu Kong. It is not easy to be promoted to level 5 profession. Many of my colleagues are stuck on promotion tasks."
"roll!"
As for level 6 professions, at least the original national team has not yet been born. It is said that Yukong, the highest level, is already level 59 and has been stuck at level 60 and level 6 professions for a long, long time.
"Have you obtained your senior alchemist certification?"
Especially for some newcomers in the 8th beta, silver coins are already a huge sum of money to them. You must know that the current currency value is not the same as before. The system does not give it, players are stingy in private servers, and there are few ways to get cash.
.
“cool”
"The more you earn, the more you spend. There are too many secrets hidden in the ancient battlefield. I felt a little embarrassed to let the gang bear the responsibility, so I paid for it out of my own pocket."
"That's it...long distance is very expensive."
"It's just luck."
As an investigator, Tie Jun fully understood and was already inclined to recruit Xia Miaomiao to join the special disposal team, but...
Extraordinary, coming out of the dust, extraordinary, stunning, flying in the sky, wandering the sky...
"I want to hear what you really think."
"...What are you talking about?"
"Any more?"
"Oh, I don't want it to be like this offline. I can't tell the difference between online and offline. I still like it to be simpler offline. I can relax every time I go offline. Now it's better.
It’s no big deal that offline is more tense and weird than online.”
"What do you know about us?"
Artemis, the God of Faith Guardian and Record?
"That's good."
A first-level professional player who looked like a bard came up to chat obsequiously, followed by two elf-looking men, half-naked, with bronze tendons, but with dull faces.
"I don't know, that's how I feel."
To be honest, it is difficult to connect the little girl in the resume file with the high-level player in front of me. The growth of the other person is amazing, not just online.
"It's impossible. The result has been determined since the 6th test."
"That's quite embarrassing..."
Just like the national team's Yu Kong, professional promotion is a very sensitive matter. Even if you can say it, you can't say it, let alone let irrelevant people know. It seems that this will increase the difficulty of their promotion?
Anyway, God is right.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that there are no local dog strongholds around the city. Those who are ambitious, or who want to develop in the main business or make meritorious deeds, have all gone to the front line. Isn't this frontline a waste of money?
"A little sapling, right? I am Tiejun"
"No, do you know the SAN value?"
"Small tower with 7 floors, no elemental pool"
"Uh... the system prompted me."
"Worried that I am a spy, or..."
Tie Jun looked at Yukong in front of him and remembered the information he had read before going online, a small sapling...
In the blink of an eye, he saw a group of several carriages parked at the door of the business across the street. Under the attentive service of two doormen who greeted guests, a middle-aged man in low-key clothing and...his family members walked out.
"Feel sorry!"
"Huntian..."
After sending the pimp away, Xia Miaomiao yawned. At this time, a burst of playing and singing music sounded from the next door room, as well as the unique breathing and murmuring of the half-orc cat lady.
Chatting with her best friend made Xia Miaomiao feel like she had gone back to the past, and her mood became relaxed and happy, as if she had returned to the postgraduate period when she was taking the fourth and fifth exams.
Out of responsibilities and obligations, as well as the need to save the world, most ordinary people must receive a certain degree of protection, basic material supplies, and basic safety guarantees. Special disposal bureaus in various places have emerged as the times require.
——We are not doctors, let alone police, we are just a group of people who help people alleviate their ‘pain’!
Tie Jun explained this to Xia Miaomiao.
——In the end, they still have to rely on themselves!
