Over the past three days, the players' moods have gradually calmed down and they have begun to work hard to adapt to life in the underworld.
In the underworld, the sky is filled with thick dark clouds that linger all year round. There is no sunlight, moonlight, or bright starry sky. There is no day or night. There are basically only three colors of black, white, and gray between the sky and the earth, which is very depressing.
Many rules in the underworld are also very different from those in the second world.
For example, in terms of equipment, equipment in the mortal world has almost no effect in the underworld, and even finished artifacts are greatly affected, completely losing the status that artifacts deserve.
But similarly, there will be equipment exclusive to the underworld in the underworld. Where there are wild bosses in the second world, there are also corresponding wild bosses in the underworld. After killing them, the corresponding equipment will be revealed. This was originally mentioned by Huang Yi
It was verified once when the underworld was discovered.
In the underworld, most heroic spirits are unconscious and wander aimlessly in the wilderness. Some of those conscious souls gained consciousness due to some kind of adventure, and some are natives who were born directly in the underworld. But this
There are very few NPCs, and they are just a drop in the ocean compared to the endless souls.
The differences in the underworld are also reflected in various large and small aspects. In short, it will take a long time for players to fully adapt.
On this day, the world's best-known super masters, as well as the leaders of major forces, gathered at the Oskan Royal Academy in the underworld to participate in a meeting hosted by Blade.
With ten minutes left before the meeting started, all parties had basically arrived, but the most important sword had not yet arrived.
They are located at the mountain gate of Oskan Royal Academy. Below is a long staircase. In the middle of the stairs stand statues, all of which are figures who have made great contributions in the history of Oskan Royal Academy.
The one closest to everyone is the statue of the deputy dean, the sharpshooter Ika.
"Since the NPC will go to the underworld after death, it stands to reason that the soul of the marksman Ika should also be in the underworld. I wonder if we can find it?" At this time, Dante, the top American master, suddenly said.
"It's probably very difficult." The Pope shook his head. "After the Heavenly Demon, the Spirit Demon, and the Blood Demon killed the sharpshooter Ika, I wonder if they had processed his soul. If they had processed the soul, they would not have come.
To the underworld. And even if he can come to the underworld, do you think the sword will let go of such high-quality souls? He has stayed in the underworld for such a long time, there is no reason to let go of those high-quality souls, and he will definitely capture them for some purpose.
kind of use."
"Countless people have died in history, and their souls will go to the underworld. I don't know how many powerful souls the sword has collected. It's really scary to think about it!" The giant bear was slightly stunned.
In their minds, the most terrifying person is not the demon, but the sword.
No matter how terrifying the spirit demon is, they know it in their mind, but they have no idea how terrifying the sword is.
Time passed minute by minute, and just when the meeting time arrived, a figure suddenly flew from the distant sky, carrying a long sword on his back.
The sharp sword quickly came to everyone's side, and when it fell, it set off a gust of cold wind, which made everyone's faces hurt.
"Sharp sword, you are really good at it!" Daofeng stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Originally I didn't want to come, but after thinking about it finally, I decided to come and take a look." Lijian said, looking around at everyone.
His eyes swept over everyone one by one. These people were all the top few players in the world, but at this moment, in front of him, they all seemed to be inferior.
Finally, Li Jian's gaze returned to Blade and said: "I know you have many doubts. Each of you can ask a question, but I don't promise to answer them all, and I don't promise to tell the truth. You can decide for yourself whether it's true or not.
Guess."
"Then I'll go first!" Kidd took the first step forward and asked: "The rules of the underworld are very inconsistent with some of our original behavioral habits. Since you can modify the system rules of the underworld, I wonder if you can modify the rules.
Is it the same as the second world? In this case, it will be more convenient for us to live in the underworld."
Li Jian shook his head heavily: "No! You should know that when the God of Killing became the king of the world, he was only able to modify some of the rules of the second world. The same goes for me. There are many rules in the underworld that I cannot touch at all.
In fact, you are already very lucky. After the underworld is opened, it is like opening a new virtual world. All players must become level 1 underworld level and start to level up again. They cannot return to their original level unless they are resurrected and returned to the mortal world.
There are levels. But I have modified the rules so that the underworld level and the mortal world level are shared, which saves you the time to upgrade again. Don't be too greedy."
"Why did you open the underworld right when the spirit demons were killing players all over the world? Is it because you need to meet certain requirements to open the underworld, or is it that you could have opened the underworld a long time ago and just deliberately chose that time?" Pharaoh King
asked.
Lijian said expressionlessly: "Actually, I have been able to open the underworld for a long time, but I have never opened it, because once it is opened, it will have an unpredictable and huge impact. But the appearance of the God of Death changed many things, and I had to wait for three days.
The underworld was opened at that time."
"Didn't you open the underworld because of spirit demons? Why did you involve Brother Yi?" Qin Shiyu asked quickly.
Li Jian looked at Qin Shiyu, gave a rare smile, and said: "Because your Brother Yi has greatly accelerated the progress of the plot, the virtual world is a sophisticated and complex world, and everyone's actions will directly or indirectly change the entire world.
direction. The God of Killing has repeatedly made some dangerous moves before, causing the demons to speed up the pace of destroying the second world. If there is no such person as the God of Killing, then I estimate that the demons will not set up the plan until at least a year later.
The world-destroying formation was precisely because the role of the God of Killing had exceeded a certain threshold, making the demons aware of the threat, and had to speed up the destruction to kill the danger in advance. So on the surface, it was the spirit demons who caused it
The root cause of the destruction of the second world still lies with the God of Death. In other words, although the God of Death saved the world, his actions to save the world caused the world to be destroyed faster."
"The progress of the plot? Do you already know the plot in advance? Otherwise, how would you know that the God of Death has accelerated the progress of the plot?" The Pope asked doubtfully.
"I do know some future plot directions, because the information I know, the places I have been, the people I have contacted, and my adventures... are all beyond your imagination. I have even been to the Temple of Destiny in Heaven, I have secretly read the "Book of Destiny" and know the fate of many things in the future. Of course, these so-called futures are the future of NPCs. The behavior of players is unpredictable, and the behavior of players will change the future to a great extent. , so I only have a rough prediction of the future plot, and I cannot guarantee that it will be accurate. A character like the God of Death has changed too many fates, causing me to frequently make wrong predictions. Every time I face him, My emotions are very complicated. I have no grudges with him, but there is an invisible conflict."
After Li Jian said these words, everyone began to think for a moment, and the place fell into silence for a while.
At this time, Tiandao suddenly touched his chin, stared straight at the sword and asked: "I have a question that involves your privacy. I wonder if I can ask it? This question is also what Brother Yi wants to ask the most. Now that he is gone, I want to ask it for him."
"Oh? The question the God of Death wants to ask me the most?" Li Jian smiled with interest, "I can probably guess what the question is, but I can't guarantee that I will answer it."
"What is your relationship with Time Company?" Tiandao finally asked this question.
This question is what everyone on the court wants to know. Everyone has seen the various rumors about Lijian and Time Company.
At the award ceremony of the martial arts competition, Mr. Huang Huapeng, CEO of Time Company, always shook hands with the contestants when giving awards to everyone. But when it was the sword's turn, he patted his shoulder happily. Such treatment, even if Neither the champions Huang Yi nor Miyamoto Musashi got it.
This shows that Lijian and Time Company must have an extraordinary relationship!
Later, various famous speakers and senior analysts on the forum speculated on the identity of Lijian and Time Company. Some people even suspected that Lijian was the biological son of the president of Time Company.
But none of the guesses can be cited with actual evidence, and they are just irresponsible guesses.
"Sure enough, that's the question!" Li Jian seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, smiled slightly, and said: "You will never know the answer to this question. I can only say that I do have some relationship with Time Company, but this This relationship will not affect my behavior in the virtual world. They will not modify my data or send me equipment. Like everyone else, I am able to get to where I am today entirely due to my own efforts. I want to tell you Dear everyone, no matter how big the plot fluctuations are in the virtual world, Time Company will not intervene. Therefore, if the virtual world encounters another crisis in the future, you should no longer imagine that Time Company will take action from the system program to prevent this. The plot happened."
"But the virtual world and the real world are so closely connected that it hurts the whole body. Take the financial field as an example. Once the virtual world is destroyed, how much wealth will be wasted? How many companies will go bankrupt? How many listed companies will have their valuations dive? How much? Are investors going to jump off the building? The outbreak of the financial crisis may set back human society by ten or twenty years. Is Time Company ignoring the consequences?" Lei Shen asked with a frown.
Li Jian said nonchalantly: "This is a normal economic law! Some people lose money, and naturally some people make money. Wealth will not disappear for no reason, it just flows from some hands to another. Just like the stock market, evaporation
The market value is all fictitious, and it is essentially just a redistribution of wealth.”
