This isn't the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 313 Prologue
During the fourth test, the magic net could spread to the Fairy Forest, but a false god named Asius in the scruples did not act rashly. Until the end of the fourth test, the magic net was still circling around the periphery of the Fairy Forest. Offend the territory of this so-called forest goddess.

This test was also a coincidence. The system's forest goddess Mishus condensed her real name, and Bei Gaoyang knew it and did not stop it. Naturally, she would not tolerate the fat of the Fairy Forest any longer.

The Fairy Forest is also connected to an entrance to the dungeon, and the dungeon also has a puppet city suspected to be controlled by the mind flayer. These are urgently needed resources at a time when the magic net urgently needs the population of the aborigines.

But he didn't expect that before he could fight, they would have already attacked. As soon as the magic net retreated from the 'wild area', the demonic beasts in the Fairy Forest invaded massively, occupying the blank area left by the "retreat" of the magic net. intention of.

Xiao Ai made a '3D all-terrain real-time simulation map' to cover all the defenses currently covered by the magic net. Bei Gaoyang stood next to this huge 'electronic map', and from a global perspective, the surveillance is going on What happened in the game area.

"Do it independently?" Bei Gaoyang teased Xiao Ai: "Is it still independent now? Your Highness, the Guardian God of Artemis?"

Xiao Ai frowned, sighed and said, "It seems that the system has to intervene."

Of course you have to intervene. It’s only the second day after the server started, and the players haven’t taken office yet. External forces have invaded. Warcraft, Warcraft, are not those monsters that can only be used as cannon fodder in the refresh area. How can the players resist it? ?

"How are you going to intervene? To regain control of the wild area?"

"No, strengthen the defense force of the NPC."

"Where's Ashius?"

"Let Mitheus deal with it."

"Ha, the struggle at the level of false gods is about to start now?"

"Give me a little more time, my lord."

"Okay then, you just let go and do it, and talk about it when you need the system to get the bottom of it."

Xiao Ai was very unconvinced and left. Not long after, Mitheus, the goddess of the forest system, became the first false god to leave the magic net and perform tasks alone. Benjia' touch.

Afterwards, Xiao Ai poured some system resources into it, and promoted a large number of professional template NPCs to serve as guards in various novice villages, barely stabilizing the normal operation of the game's functional units.

Looking at the 3D live map at this time, the wild area that has just been discovered by the players has returned to darkness, and the wild area has become more dangerous. The player's vision of the wild area has been adjusted to darkness, only the normal vision of the players is retained.

These adjustments are made within a week thereafter.

The wild area has become a daunting way, and employment has become the only way out. A large number of new and old players who have reached level 5 are crowded on the single-plank bridge of the inauguration task. Winning gold or silver medals has become the focus of attention both online and offline.

A copy of the long-lost Kobold Mine!

There was a sound of "Cracking", as if stepping on something, and the slight movement made the black shadows in the cave move, wheezing, grunting... The screams and screams of various monsters, animals and insects scared Xie Xiaomeng. His face turned pale, and his originally pitch-black field of vision receded slightly, lighting up the environment around 50 meters away.

Inverted stalactites, flying vampire bats, monkey-like hairless monsters crashing into stone pillars, and strange fish jumping into the water with short limbs...

Reddish iridescent holes appeared in the dark depths, one, two, three, a flooded and transparent ghost screamed silently, broke into the illuminated field of vision, and rushed towards her.

"what!"

Xie Xiaomeng turned around and ran, the entrance of the cave was not far away, with all his strength, he managed to get within the range illuminated by the bonfire outside the cave, where the ghost fled close to him.

"how is it going?"

Zhu Zhuangzhuang, the magical girl, was the first to ask.

Xie Xiaomeng shook his head with a pale face, and told his teammates what he saw in the hole.

"What can we do, can't we go back?"

It was fine when I came here, but it turned into a dangerous road when I went back. It was completely dark 50 meters away, and the back road was cut off. The team is currently helpless.

"Why don't you go offline, go offline and ask someone, and then think of a way?" said the ghost horse elf.

"That's all there is to it!"

"I haven't been offline for three days, won't I starve to death?"

"me too."

"Never had this liver before."

"What is this? When I was playing World of Warcraft, I tried not to sleep for three days and three nights."

Teammates went offline one after another, Xie Xiaomeng tidied up the crude camp, looked at the darkness outside his left and right vision, and felt as if something was peeping at him.

The sky is not affected in any way, the afternoon sun hangs in the sky, but no matter how strong the sun is, it cannot illuminate the darkness outside the field of vision.

When she chooses to log off, her field of vision will be stripped from the game environment, and she will be spun around for a while. When she senses her body again, a huge fatigue will drag her into the deepest water surface.

"Xiaomeng, Xiaomeng?"

"This damn girl!"

In reality, it was also afternoon. Aunt Xue did not know how many times she entered her daughter's room. This time, she finally saw that the indicator light on the game helmet was no longer blinking. Knowing that her daughter was finally offline, she quickly helped the sleeping Xie Xiaomeng take off the helmet. Carefully observing her face, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, adjust her sleeping position and close the curtains.

"... Regarding the adjustment of the game time, this station has invited the customer manager of Canaan Company... Manager Wang, what is your company's consideration for no longer limiting the game time?"

"Uh……"

"60, 60 people lay in bed for dozens of hours without eating or drinking. I don't know what Canaan Company thinks. Whose responsibility is it if something goes wrong?"

"Professor Li, don't get excited, listen to Canaan's official explanation."

"This... It is necessary to let go of the game time limit. Our goal is to build Canaan into a 100% real second world..."

"What about the first world? What about reality? In the future, everyone will go to the second world. Is the first world going to become a sleeping corpse?"

"You are too alarmist. Although the restrictions in the game have been lifted, in reality we can strengthen publicity and education, or introduce some rigid regulations, such as..."

Aunt Xue went over and turned off the TV in the living room, sat on the sofa in a daze for a while, went to check on her daughter's condition, and then went into the kitchen to prepare a big meal for her daughter when she woke up.

"If you don't eat or drink, how can your body take it!"

"Lie down for two days, dead girl, there is no restraint in playing."

At this time, the Canaan Company was already in a state of desperation.

"... Has the player from Huzhou been rescued?"

"I don't know, it should still be rescued."

"Currently, what is the longest online time?"

"29 hours..."

"29 hours should not affect... Of course, it is under the condition that all aspects of the body are healthy."

"This is really... Mr. Yu, maybe something big will happen this time."

"Are some measures taken?"

"Don't talk about it, I know it all, you are closely monitoring the news in this area, and notify me immediately if there is any change."

"Ok."

"Pay attention to the smooth communication in various places."

Yu Qingdong left the chaotic after-sales service department with great anxiety, took the elevator to the top floor of the headquarters building, and in the office, Lao Hu from Project Zero was already waiting inside.

"how is the situation?"

"I should be the one who asked you. Canaan Company doesn't have that long hands, and it's not like you don't know."

"Don't you have an online channel?"

"That's a live broadcast channel. It can only be opened after taking office at level 5. Besides, it can't monitor the data of all players, let alone influence it."

"What about number zero?"

"Still can't get in touch!"

"what happened?"

"...Maybe I'm busy, maybe I don't want to answer right away, maybe...how the hell do I know."

"60, 60, maybe something big will happen."

"What's the use of yelling at me?"

Strictly speaking, it was a violation of discipline for the two to quarrel as soon as they met and leave the door open.

"Okay, okay, close the door first, let's go inside and talk!"

"Let's say it first, don't expect me to be blamed again this time!" After closing the door, Yu Qingdong yelled softly, "You guys also have to share some pressure."

The safe slid to the side, revealing an alloy metal door. After Lao Hu skillfully entered a series of operations such as entering the password and verifying the rainbow hole, there was a ding, and Qingyu's soft voice sounded, "Welcome, job number 1034 and job number 1097 .”

"Hello, sunny, please prepare two cups of coffee, thank you."

"OK, just a second."

Yu Qingdong hadn't been in this room a few times, especially after the latest renovation was completed.

There seems to be nothing in the white room, and the silver floor has a mosaic-like change. The blocks that resemble building blocks are raised and stacked, and stacked into two single sofas and a coffee table.

"sit!"

Yu Qingdong looked around, and felt that there was infinite distance in a small space. The up, down, left, and right were all the same. The sense of orientation was greatly confused, as if standing in the air, "New material?"

"Ah."

He carefully sat down opposite Lao Hu, "Is it ready for commercial use?"

"Not yet, let's get it from you for verification first... let's not talk about it, what's going on with number zero, do you think he did it on purpose?"

"I don't know, I really don't know!" Yu Qingdong felt a headache when he mentioned this, "I didn't say hello beforehand, it's rare."

"What do you think will be the impact if you continue to implement this without limiting the game time?"

"It goes without saying that even a three-year-old knows it."

"I want to hear your opinion, the real opinion."

"It's not good. You also know the scarcity of Canaan. Players must be deeply addicted. If you don't intervene, the things in Huzhou may continue to happen..."

"What if there is an intervention?"

"How to intervene, limit the game time offline? Doesn't this expose the fact that we can't influence the online? This is very simple logic, if online..."

"Okay, okay, you continue talking."

"We can only hold on and kill the concept of the second world and second life..."

"What if there is another incident like the sudden death of a player?"

"Then we can only find solutions from other aspects, such as forcing the promotion of the game warehouse, including the game time limit, the monitoring of the player's physical condition, and even some functions necessary to maintain life."

"Do you have a plan?"

"Yes, the technical aspect is not difficult, the difficulty is for players to accept it."

At this time, a mosaic-like spot appeared on the floor to the right of the coffee table, raised and stacked, and a white robot holding coffee appeared beside the two, "Your coffee."

"Thank you, Sunny and Rain!"

"Ah, oh, thank you, Rain and Rain!"

Yu Qingdong picked up the coffee in a daze, and watched the robot 'collapse', returning to mosaic-like spots, which melted on the white floor like a screen.

"It's like a sci-fi movie, isn't it?"

"Ah, um, yes, yes!"

"I mean the game room you mentioned." Lao Hu took a sip of coffee, put it down and rubbed his brows, and said, "The game room is like a capsule, life-sustaining facilities, sleeping players, dead streets and cities..."

"It's not that exaggerated, there are only 60 players."

"What about later?"

"This... there is always a way. Maybe when the scarcity of Canaan is gone, the problem will be solved?"

"The one-in-ten-thousandth possibility cannot be taken lightly. The high-level executives have realized this possibility. It is very complicated and difficult... After all, who can see the future?"

"Then this time?"

"Write a report on what you said, in detail, and consider all aspects."

"All right!"

"Don't intervene now, just observe for a while."

"That's the only way...in terms of public opinion?"

"You don't have to worry about this, comrades in other departments are already dealing with it."

north m.

Philip was also lying sound asleep in a clean white room. A man in a full protective suit helped him take off his gaming helmet, and another stuck various sensors on his naked body.

Several unidentified instruments are working at the side, and behind the special glass wall, in a huge and empty laboratory, countless white coats are busy.

Strange magic patterns are engraved on the floor of the laboratory. In the center of the space more than a dozen floors high, a huge metal ball is suspended. The oval structure is like the inside of a football, and both sides are separated by special glass. small rooms.

Philip was lying in such a small room.

"...His vital indicators are extremely active, especially the brain, you see..."

The huge metal ball began to glow, and the metal surface turned into a three-dimensional screen, on which a brain was displayed, slowly rotating.

"This position, and this position..."

Dense electric arcs appeared at the indicated position, and these incredible electric lights spread in the grooves and folds of the brain, and the three-dimensional image was constantly enlarged, making Philip's brain look like a planet.

"Unbelievable, really incredible..."

"We need more specimens, more."

At the same time, Japan.

In the darkness, Koji Ikeda heard the sound of the siren getting farther and farther away. He lay on the wet floor panting for breath. After a while, he picked up the game helmet and put it on his head.
