Inventory of the heavens: start to shock from shining Tiga

Chapter 862 A Coin

Surrounded by his subordinates, Sorrento sat on a luxurious gaming chair wearing full body-suits.

After looking at the password posted next to it, I entered the oasis directly.

After passing through the portal, Sorrento came to a no-man's land that seemed to have just been ravaged by war.

After looking around, the mysterious man who arranged to meet here did not keep Sorrento waiting for long.

Looking at the player in front of him who had given up his human appearance and only retained his human form, but his torso was like a skeleton, Sorrento said: "Elok, brother, you are fine."

Alok didn't answer immediately. After waiting for a while, he said: "To be honest, I feel something is wrong with my neck recently. It's a bit like playing games for too long, computer neck? Anyway, can you please stand on the right, my On the right, on your left..."

Sorrento didn't speak, just walked to the side silently.

Elok followed for two steps, complained about the steampunk pirate head at his feet, and finally remembered the business under Sorrento's urging, and took out a prop called the Osewax Magic Ball.

This prop looks like a basketball-sized glass ball, but it can generate an indestructible shield through spells.

However, Sorrento did not take it away immediately. Instead, he asked Alok to keep it for him and notify Alok when he needed it.

"Besides, I also need you to help me with something." Sorrento threw the projection of Parsifal's head to Alok.

As the first person to get the key, Parsifal has already been informed by Alok: "Let me guess, you want me to kill him?"

"Can you do it?" Sorrento asked.

Shrugging, Alok said: "You know, he is a famous person now, and there are a lot of people surrounding him. If you kill him rashly, the risk is not a big deal, mainly because your reputation is not good..."

"How do people like you still care about this?" Sorrento asked with a frown.

Grinning, Alok said: "You have to pay more! Three times the usual price!"

"Deal." Sorrento said without any hesitation.

Although three times the price is indeed a bit expensive, for the shares that were worth 500 billion US dollars a few years ago and the control of the oasis, as long as Alok can really kill Parsifal, thirty times will do!

"So decisive?" Alok regretted a little: "I knew I would have to do it five times... Don't be in a hurry. Can four times be okay?"

["Can this thing protect against the Son of Destruction?" Spot said with some uncertainty: "There must be more than one such defensive item. Does the Son of Destruction exaggerate its power?"

The special envoy of the Blue and White Society smiled: "Actually, these props mainly depend on their priority in the code to see who is more advanced. Compared with ordinary props, the Son of Destruction must have higher priority. Ordinary props and even level comparisons Even low-level artifacts may not be immune to the damage caused by the Son of Destruction. But in fact, since IOI can buy and use the Son of Destruction, it must find a way to test it, know its limits, and find the corresponding props."

"For a moment, I didn't know how to look at this..." said Spot: "On the one hand, I think this setting is very interesting. There are no props or players that are always invincible. If you find the right method, even a newcomer may use coincidence. The props obtained can instantly kill the top players; on the one hand, I feel that the people in this world are quite miserable... After all, in response to the opening of the Infinite Arena, their world will be reversed, and IOI may become the second biggest winner by then. After all, they really have money and have purchased many props that are difficult for retail players to buy!”

The special envoy said: "For retail players, IOI is indeed a noteworthy company. You must be on guard before reality and virtuality reverse, otherwise you will be filled with advertisements... This will be even more true after the reversal. All actions of IOI will It is based on profit-making, and it is profit-making while only keeping the bottom line... From this point of view, even if IOI carries out reforms and obtains Easter eggs according to the inventory prompts at an extremely fast speed, it is estimated that the Oasis will not be obtained due to accidents. Control. In short, due to its own nature, IOI is destined to be impossible to become an obstacle to the connection of infinite worlds. They have no chance."

Spot recognized: "This is also a matter of priority. The fairness of the inventory reward settlement has a certain priority. In the previous inventory, this was naturally more important, so there was basically no active interference in the current timeline. But this time it is not It’s the same, just like who has priority between the Son of Destruction and that magic ball, the fairness of the inventory must also give way to the Infinite Arena.”

"Speaking of fairness, I remembered a very interesting case within our Blue and White Society..." The special envoy said with a smile: "That happened in the early days of the establishment of the Blue and White Society. At that time, there was a problem that troubled many creatures in many worlds. The containment object is a key. I won’t go into details, but as a spoon that only knocks people, the depth of information of this thing...that is, the priority, can be found in all the containment objects of the Blue and White Society. It's the number one in the queue! Like a phone booth, a degenerate hat, an infinitely devouring glutton, a thing that turns the building into a girl... these containment objects that look much more powerful than a spoon can't compare to that thing."

Spot thought for a while and said: "I can't understand it. The contained objects in your world are too mysterious... I can only understand a small part of it. I really can't imagine it. What's so scary about a spoon that can only knock people?"

"I can't understand the horror of the contained objects. That's really lucky." The special envoy said with emotion. 】

Not only did Parsifal get the key, because Artemis saw him reversing the car at full speed, she became the second person to get the copper key and the clue to the next level.

Then there was the success of Aiqi's challenge, which he promised not to tell, and Dadong and Xiu passed the test because of Aiqi's showoff.

As a result, several people started to solve the puzzle of the second level in unison.

The clue to the puzzle given by Arnock was a small scroll. The content on the scroll was not much, just a short poem: "The Creator who hates his own creation, a hidden key, One step that has not yet been taken. Retrace the way you came and escape from the countless past."

For a top chef like Parsifal, it is not difficult to analyze the literal meaning of this poem. He immediately thought of Moreau and the woman who were extremely important to Halliday...

Without hesitation, Parsifal immediately went online to the archives, but he ignored his popularity at this time and was surrounded by a large number of players because he did not disguise himself.

Thanks to Artemis dressing up as a humanoid monster with four arms and pulling Parsifal into the secret space under the stairs, he was able to escape the overly enthusiastic players.

However, for Parsifal, the experience of evading this time was not very good, because Artemis vulgarly used the alien props to break out of the body and scare him! I don’t know if it was because Artemis was a hot girl, but Parsifal did not avoid her. Instead, after putting on the Superman glasses she provided, he entered the archives without anyone noticing and started watching another episode. Office video.

Artemis didn't know much about Halliday, and she had just discovered that Sorrento, the current boss of IOI, was once an intern under Halliday.

It's interesting to say that when Sorrento was still an intern, he was thinking about making money before the release of Oasis. The way to make money was also very simple, that is, by leveraging the excellent appeal of the Oasis itself, allowing players to top up money. , depending on the amount of money charged, levels such as gold and silver...

But this was totally unacceptable to Halliday. After prevaricating that the coffee he handed over was good, he turned back to do his own thing.

After reading this paragraph, Parsifal asked the curator NPC to speed up time until Halliday's friend Moreau came over and quietly asked him how the situation was.

Halliday replied that he invited her to his home, and this woman named Karen Underwood directly shocked Artemis: "Isn't it?! Halliday once dated Moreau's wife ?!”

After asking Artemis to calm down, Parsifal carefully observed the details of the video that he had watched many times.

"So, what did you do with this Karen?" Moreau asked concerned.

Pulling at the table with her fingers, Halliday said, "She wanted to go dancing, so I took her to a movie."

After waiting for a while but still getting nothing, Moreau asked, "What next? Where's the explosive news?"

"No surprises!" Halliday said, laughing himself.

[Due to the inventory taking place, the team behind the Oasis specifically set up a competition to get the keys that could not be started during the inventory taking, so no one hurried to get the keys.

"There seems to be a big melon..." Artemis said.

Aiqi asked: "What big melon? Is it the method to get the copper key, or is it a clue, or is it Halliday's personal matter?"

"Of course it's a private matter!" Artemis said: "Although the method of getting the key has been announced, you still need to go to the archives to see the prerequisites a thousand times. The archives are now blocked, so the first The key will still be obtained by Parsifal, so the clues are not that important. The most eye-catching thing now is of course Halliday’s personal affairs!”

Dadong nodded and said: "Yes, after Halliday created the Oasis and left such a crazy will, he became a god in the eyes of us gamers! He is said to be supreme in the eyes of everyone who recognizes the Oasis It’s no exaggeration for the Creator! But the Creator, who was originally aloof, now finds out that there is such tidbits!”

"To be precise, it's old news..." Parsifal said: "But since it's the first time most people know about it, it can be considered news... It seems that my previous feeling was right! For a person , the most important things are nothing more than dreams, love, etc. Although Halliday is the creator of the oasis in our hearts, he is actually a human being! Therefore, after discovering that Halliday once liked the wife of his best friend, , and after dating her, I read this paragraph many times, thinking that this paragraph was the clue to the first level..."

Xiu said: "But in fact, the clue in the first level is not love, but another video. After screening out the truly persevering people, love is used as the clue in the second level!"

"Have a look at the forum!" Aiqi said: "The whole world is discussing it now. Although the inventory will definitely explain the answers to these three levels, it is also wonderful to see some of the guesses in the forum come true. Experience it!”

Artemis thought of something and said to Parsifal: "By the way, you must win the last easter egg and gain control of the oasis! I can't worry about the others!"

Dadong also said: "Yes, not only because you are the protagonist of the original timeline, but also because among the people we know and understand, you are the only one suitable... As the inventory reveals all the answers, everyone is once again standing on the same starting line. Since you are the first player to complete a thousand views, you have a slight first-mover advantage, but this does not mean that Gao Zheng is worry-free! We will never accept IOI catching up from behind and controlling the ending of Oasis, and we cannot afford to bet on it. Will other retail players be tempted by IOI after taking control of Oasis?"

"In this case... I have to throw away my X1 somatosensory suit!" Parsifal said: "After all, this is a product of IOI, and the one I have now was given to me by IOI... If they use any means, remote control My somatosensory suit... wouldn't that be bad..."]

Artemis was still shocked that Halliday had dated his friend's later wife.

"Yes, it's very amazing. More than that, despite their connection and her later death, Karen's game name [Kira] only appeared once in the archives, and that was this time !" Parsifal said.

The curator on the side immediately said: "Impossible, this doesn't make sense. Kira occupies an important position in Halliday and Moreau's lives. It can't be just this period."

But Parsifal was very sure: "I'll bet you all my gold coins, just check!"

There was no answer. The curator just used his authority to search for the keyword "Kira".

In fact, there is only such a section.

This means that Halliday deleted all information about "Kira", leaving only this paragraph!

"To put it simply, the name Kira is a memory that Halliday doesn't want to mention. He really loves her so much that when he hears the name or sees her, his heart breaks like a knife." Pasifa Er guessed: "But unfortunately, he couldn't confess to Moreau later."

Artemis said regretfully: "He should have confessed."

"So this is miss and regret! It is the 'step that has not been taken' mentioned in the clue!" Parsifal said excitedly.

After checking a few more times, the curator on the other side confirmed that there was indeed no other information about Kira. He accepted his mistake calmly and gave Parsifal a coin willing to admit defeat.
