Chapter 115

Chapter 115

The brief peace in the game world ended after breakfast.

At exactly eight o'clock that morning, after assimilation and rusting, the players received the third world rule that was issued.

The third rule is a blank slate.

…

On the virtual screen in mid-air, the "player" who was forcibly pulled in finally couldn't bear it any longer and started yelling curses.

[I'm just here to watch the fun, what does this damn game have to do with me!]

[Where is the game director?!I didn’t choose the on-site experience. When will you let me out?]

[It’s a trap, right?Will you pay for your life if you buy a skill card?Why didn't you say it in the first place?!Who would come to touch this piece of shit?!]

[I bought the skill card on a regular company’s platform, why does it count?Isn't it okay to just bet and earn some extra money to recuperate your blood?]

[Is it a game BUG?Is it a game BUG?Is it a game BUG?]

[Now that the rules of the game are gone, has the game collapsed?If it breaks down, admit it quickly!]

[When will you let us go!This time I accept my bad luck and at worst I won’t be able to claim compensation. I just want to go out...]

Yu Tang returned to the table.

"Is it because the big boss sensed something was wrong and wanted to escape?" the system said. "It gave up the game and left us with a world without rules..."

Yu Tang shook his head: "No."

The system asked: "Why?"

Yu Tang: "He is no longer qualified."

This is a book with the theme of a battle royale game. If the terminal is still the same as the previous book, but hidden behind the back, you can indeed run away immediately when the situation is bad.

But in this book, the terminal personally takes on the role of "game console".

The system was stunned for a moment.

Yu Tang held the popcorn he took out from the warehouse, walked to Zhan Chen who was kneading the particles, and sat down next to Senior Zhan.

Zhan Chen pretended to be confused: "What's the matter?"

"It rained yesterday and it became damp." Yu Tang held the popcorn in his arms and looked serious as if he had forgotten that there was an oven in the villa, "I need to use Feng Qing's skills."

Zhan Chen raised his eyebrows and peeled off the moisture from the popcorn.

He has been to this world too many times as Feng Qing, and is more proficient in controlling skills than Yu Tang.

After stripping away the water, Zhan Chen analyzed all the particles in the bucket of popcorn and reassembled them into a giant popcorn as big as a basketball.

system:"……"

Yu Tang: "..."

"It won't be wet anymore." Zhan Chen cleared his throat and suppressed his smile, "Eat slowly."

Yu Tang held a Big Mac popcorn and sat there for a long time before finally bursting out laughing.

As if he finally confirmed that he was not immersed in a dream of his own making, he let out a long sigh of relief, broke off a piece of rice krispie treats and held it in his mouth, waiting for the sweetness to spread in his mouth bit by bit.

Yu Tang relaxed and let himself lean on Zhan Chen, giving a quarter of the popcorn balls to the system: "This is a battle royale game. According to the rules, only one person can survive in the end.."

There is a play on words here.

"Only one can survive."

Yu Tang: "Can only one of all players survive, or can only one of every character who enters the game survive?"

Yu Tang: "Does the person in charge of the game count as a character? Does the game console count as a character?"

The system had never thought about this and was stunned: "Does this count?"

"I wasn't sure at first," Yu Tang said, "until I brought the person in charge of the game into the game."

Yu Tang: "We are now certain that the person in charge behind the game and Ying Asteroid are just a cover, an illusion created by the terminal to protect itself."

…

For example, in a game where a warrior defeats the devil, no matter how the previous levels are set, the last level must be a decisive battle between the warrior and the devil.

If you want the game to end and "Game Over" is played, one of the warriors and the devil must die.

But setting up the game in this way greatly increases the danger of the Demon King. After all, no matter how powerful the Demon King is, there is still the possibility of being killed by a warrior.

"The terminal is rigged here."

Yu Tang said: "It appointed a player to be the person in charge of the game, and in the penultimate level, it set up a reward of an asteroid."

Everyone was misled by the rules of the game, thinking that this was the last level. They thought that by surviving the game and getting the asteroid, they would win the final victory.

"This is a book that Terminal left for himself."

Yu Tang said: "It should have used this book in many worlds, setting the same trap."

The warriors in each book were deceived by the rules and stopped at the penultimate level, thinking that they had won the game and became the only survivor and the owner of the asteroid.

Some warriors obtain asteroids for the sake of freedom, quit the game, quit playing, and live their lives with peace of mind.

Some warriors want to establish their own power on this asteroid out of ambition.

Some warriors plan step by step for revenge, just to use this opportunity to kill the person in charge of the game hidden behind the scenes, but they become the new "evil dragon".

…

No matter which one, the devil hiding in the last level can choose the time, appear calmly, eliminate the extra people together, become the only survivor, and successfully complete the book.

"But the terminal didn't expect it." Yu Tang said, "Some warriors want to exchange for asteroids."

Zhan Chen's shoulders trembled and he couldn't help coughing.

Yu Tang avenged the popcorn, suppressed the corner of his mouth, and continued seriously: "Terminal didn't expect that this book would never be finished."

Yu Tang asked Zhan Chen: "Senior Zhan, do you immediately redeem and reverse time every time you get an asteroid?"

Zhan Chen cleared his throat: "...it should be."

He has no memory of himself in this book, but according to the plot, there is no more time for him to waste.

Every time the book is reset, Feng Qing's body has to be reorganized repeatedly, and in the end it may dissipate at any time.

If Zhan Chen wants to turn back time, he must trade immediately every time. He cannot waste any time, let alone wait until the ownership of the asteroid is transferred to Zhong San.

Yu Tang nodded: "Let us congratulate this warrior. He redeemed the asteroid too quickly, and the terminal did not have time to start..."

Before Yu Tang finished speaking, a hot, freshly baked cake was stuffed into his mouth.

"So vindictive?" Zhan Chen took back his hand and hit his head, "Didn't I send leaflets to the electronic storm and ask for your help?"

Yu Tang held the cake in his mouth and said vaguely: "...it's too late."

Yu Tang has long wanted to settle this old score, but has never found an opportunity: "Senior Zhan, you should know that I only gave some particles to Chuan Bookstore, why didn't you ask me for help then?"

Zhan Chen was dumbfounded: "It's dangerous here after all... I'm not worried."

"What danger could I be in?" Yu Tang was very dissatisfied with the answer. "The most I can do is sleep a little longer, and I'll wake up sooner or later..."

Zhan Chen sighed softly, put down the newly formed particles in his hand, and said seriously: "I don't want to part with it."

Yu Tang paused for a moment.

…

The big ball of light that confidently settled old scores leaked air and flickered unsatisfactorily, and the base of his ears began to feel faintly warm.

"I'm not willing to give it up, and I can't afford to gamble."

Zhan Chen said: “It wasn’t until I failed that assessment that I realized that it was the terminal that was capturing the electronic storm.”

...That was the first time he started to regret it.

It was he who taught Electron Storm humanity, and it was he who gave Electron Storm its weaknesses.

If it weren't for looking for him, Yu Tang would never have been able to find an opportunity through the bookstore to trick him into stripping away the particles.

"It is indeed relatively safe to enter Chuan Bookstore and become a host, but it will also tie you to this dimension."

Zhan Chen looked at him: "I hope you can be freer, go to any dimension, any world, and meet anyone you want to know."

Yu Tang wanted to refute, but remembered Zhan Chen's temper and swallowed back: "Senior Zhan, what made you change your mind?"

Zhan Chen paused and shook his head slightly: "I don't remember."

"I should have discovered something in this world. This matter is very important. It is so important that I must find a way to find you."

Zhan Chen said: "As the host, I left a message to the person in charge of the mall."

The host was not allowed to have any communication with the person in charge of the mall other than transactions. Zhan Chen was punished and asked to hand out flyers, and the message was forcibly deleted.

The world was reset, and the host's memory was completely erased by reversing time.

"I don't remember why." Zhan Chen said, "But I have to find you..."

He paused for a moment, met Yu Tang's gaze, and changed his words in silence: "...I made a mistake."

Zhan Chen stretched out his hand, pulled Yu Tang into his arms, and touched Xiao Guangtuan's soft hair.

"We are together." Zhan Chen said warmly, "This is something that cannot be changed."

Zhan Chen: "No matter why, I must find you."

The game's message area remained chaotic until late that night.

Those VIPs and spectators who were forcibly dragged into the game were very angry and yelled at first, and tried every means to appeal to the game company, hoping to forcefully exit the game.

After discovering that the person in charge of the game had completely disappeared and that no matter how hard they struggled, they finally realized the reality and disappeared from the message area. Only a few messages of support and help appeared occasionally.

The most popular posts now are in the visitor area where non-registered users are allowed to speak freely.

"These are people with special abilities who were originally treated as players and put into the game."

Zhan Chen explained to Yu Tang: "They have initially organized several forces of their own to communicate with each other and try to figure out the rules of the game world."

In order to prevent the "rust" from continuing, everyone has to isolate themselves from the world as much as possible to prevent themselves from mutating under the influence of the environment.

Fortunately, the expansion of the game world has extended the scale from the jungle to include the cities on this asteroid.

So far, people have basically found their hiding places.

Zhan Chen held the back of Yu Tang's chair and looked at the computer screen with him, indicating the message that had always been kept on the first page: "This is the survival guide they summarized."

Yu Tang clicked on the post, and the red handwriting immediately popped out.

"Survival Guide (First Edition)"

[1. Assimilation has ended, but keeping it still for a long time will still accelerate the progress of rust.]

[2. Lock doors and windows as much as possible and stay in a closed room.]

[3. After humans rust, the changes are basically the same as the common sense of metal rust, that is, "limited movement, erosion and peeling".]

[4. The treatment method is consistent with common sense, try to completely remove the rust and prevent new rust from occurring.]

[5. In the outdoor environment, rust will continue to grow and expand. Once rust is found indoors, it means that the space is no longer airtight.Rusty items must be removed immediately, the space must be completely re-sealed, or a new hiding place must be used.]

[6. In a completely enclosed space, rust will stop growing.]

"Healing and cleansing powers are scarce right now."

Zhan Chen said: "The Sui team doctor sent a message asking if there was a way to make a treatment card."

Yu Tang nodded, but did not immediately give a clear answer: "How do they understand 'rust'?"

"There are many ways to understand it." Zhan Chen opened another page of posts, "There are also many people discussing this... They are trying to deduce the content of the third blank rule."

Many of the new players who were forcibly brought in were expecting everything to end here.

These people delude themselves into believing that the blank third rule means that the game has collapsed. As long as they hide in a closed space with closed doors and windows until a certain time limit, the game will automatically end and let everyone out.

In contrast, the superpowers who have been forced into the game several times and know the rules have long given up on such overly optimistic delusions.

"Some people think that assimilation and rust are metaphors."

Zhan Chen has already briefly read the content: "Assimilation refers to the conservatives who have been won over, and rust refers to those who have been shaken and bewitched, and have also reached out to the card pool. These people originally did not want to do this, but were temporarily confused and wereThe environment coerces..."

Yu Tang bit the lollipop: "Did the director of the Secret Service send this post?"

Zhan Chen coughed lightly, suppressed the smile on his lips, and rubbed Yu Tang's hair twice.

"Some people also speculate that assimilation and corrosion are ways for the game world to devour players." Zhan Chen said, "Assimilate what can be assimilated first, and then rust what cannot be assimilated, and use players as the nourishment of the world."

Zhan Chen: "They are worried that the next rules may be related to air, and even closed spaces can no longer completely guarantee safety."

The system was trying to understand: "Host, host, this sounds very reasonable..."

Yu Tang applauded it: "The person in charge of the game thinks so too."

The system guessed correctly for the first time and happily flashed the red light twice: "Really?"

"Really." Yu Tang nodded, "It's a pity that he doesn't have the final say in the game."

system:"……"

Yu Tang met Zhan Chen's gaze, walked to the window, and opened it.

The system was startled: "Host! If the space is not closed, it will rust——"

Yu Tang stretched his hand out of the window, grabbed a bunch of particles and came in, spreading his palms.

The system quickly closed the window tightly, turned around, and was stunned for a moment when he saw the rust-colored particles suspended in Yu Tang's palm.

"These are particles that cause rust." Yu Tang said, "Senior Zhan, I need a small simulated magnetic field area, the same as the outer space of the central star of this interstellar."

"..." The system couldn't help but said: "Host..."

Zhan Chen had a smile in his eyes, nodded, and agreed warmly: "Okay."

system:"?"

...The next second, a simulated miniature magnetic field unfolded in front of them.

The magnetic field was originally invisible, and this small virtual magnetic field even had magnetic field lines marked on it, slowly rotating with the shadow of the central star.

The system stared at the camera.

"After Luo Ran joined World Geography, he sent me a lot of magazines from their magazine. The most recent issue was about the aurora."

Yu Tang said: "They have made a three-dimensional animation demonstration, which you can scan the code to watch on the official website... I have gone to see it and plan to give it a try."

"This is the magnetic field of the central star, these are the magnetic field lines, and this is the upper atmosphere."

Yu Tang: “These are high-energy particles in the electron storm.”

The system looked at the rust stains in astonishment: "...What?!"

Yu Tang: "This is a gust of wind."

In response to the end of his words, those rust-like particles suddenly rotated and flowed, hitting the simulated magnetic field at high speed.

Accompanied by an indistinct popping sound, a gorgeous aurora bloomed mysteriously and out of thin air.

…

"After reading this book, I have been looking for Feng Qing's consciousness."

Yu Tang said: "But I don't have any clue."

Feng Qing's ability is the analysis and reorganization of particles. Logically speaking, his particles should be the best to find - if Yu Tang is responsible for it, Yu Tang can even guarantee that he will reorganize seventy times, and all the particles in his body will beNothing less.

But no matter whether the host is him or Senior Zhan, Feng Qing's consciousness has never awakened in this body.

What was left to them was like a senseless, empty shell.

"Where did Feng Qing's consciousness go?" Yu Tang said, "After a particle-level superpower completely escapes, will it be death or evolution?"

The system is horrified: "What does evolution... mean?"

"Literally." Yu Tang said, "Feng Qing's rating is wrong. The reason why his particles keep escaping is because he has become an S-level superpower."

Any person with superpowers who leaves C-level will initially have a "domain".

At level A, superpowers can set rules for the domain.

S-class superpowers have not appeared in official records so far.

"There is no record because the existence and consciousness of all S-class superpowers have been swallowed up by the domain."

Yu Tang said: "All of us are in the realm of S-class superpowers."

The system was so surprised that he couldn't speak and froze in place.

"The terminal didn't just trick me into peeling off a bunch of particles."

Yu Tang said: "They also managed to steal my core particles, resurrect Feng Qing in the third year after Feng Qing's death, and reshape Feng Qing's domain."

"Electronic storms make it rain, and this rain is dangerous to humans."

"Entering the surface area of the electron storm, human beings will be assimilated and become the same particle state as us."

"In the middle region of the electron storm, the particles become corrosive and will corrode everything that enters rashly."

"The core area is also called the eye of the storm."

Yu Tang said: "There is nothing in this area, it is 'blank'."

The system was shocked when it remembered the third completely blank rule.

"This is why Senior Zhan is in a hurry to find me."

"It's not the superpowers that evolve, it's the realm."

"Feng Qing's consciousness has been swallowed up by this field - or in other words, he is this field, this game world."

"The eyes of the storm are connected."

Yu Tang said: "If this field is completely evolved, it will become a new electronic storm that can swallow me in reverse."
