Ark, a chat group for gamers

Chapter 71 This is not a pure multiple choice question

"Philosopher's Stone..." Lin Luo caught the word and couldn't help but read it out.

Jiuyue, who was on the side, also heard the truth, and immediately jumped up from the ground: "What are you talking about? The Philosopher's Stone?

"Is it the Philosopher's Stone I was thinking of? It's the one made from red stone, fluorite, and diamond."

Obviously, even if Jiuyue is not the main player in MC games, he still understands the conceptual existence of the Philosopher's Stone in the MC world.

The Philosopher's Stone comes from the module Equivalent Exchange. If all modules have a level to sort them, then the module Equivalent Exchange must be one of the top modules.

There are really not many modules that belong to the same level as it. If you still want to ensure the gameplay, then you have to include another module called Endless Greed.

It's no wonder Lin Luo and Yue Yue are so sensitive to this stuff, because the items and settings in the equivalent exchange module are too powerful, and can even be said to be

A modification can be made to the operating rules of the world.

The Time Torrent Pocket Watch, which can adjust the flow rate of time, comes from this module.

And if the defender really has this kind of philosopher's stone, it will not be good news for the players.

Translated to the lobe side of the brain, it is probably equivalent to Mengxin throwing No. 12 employees to the epidemic doctor for treatment.

If you switch to Monster Hunter, it's equivalent to the black dragon's breathing, and your teammates have locked you out of the iron gate. The key is that you are not a handsome insect stick boy.

"Don't panic, let me panic first!" Lin Luo held down Jiuyue who was about to divide the luggage again, and began to analyze the current situation: "I think there must be something wrong with this.

"First of all, it can be determined that the witch herself does not know the existence of the module, and she is confused about plant magic. It makes no sense to know the more exaggerated equivalent exchange.

"And if they really have equivalent exchange modules, it won't mean that they have created so many moths. They only need the initial sample, and then find an item that can be mass-produced, and they can copy it infinitely. There is no reason to go to the front lines and rush around in person to get what they want.”

After analyzing for a while, Lin Luo stabilized his mentality: "Besides, if there is an equivalent exchange, I don't think it can be the current correction value."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Synonym." Lin Luo breathed out, as if confirming his guess: "It may be just another item's name, but it has the same name as the Philosopher's Stone in the module for other reasons.

"Like... Redstone?"

For his conjecture, Lin Luo felt that it was not groundless.

The particularity of the mineral redstone is difficult to reflect in the game world, but in the real world it can already be regarded as an artifact created out of nothing.

For the witches and defenders of the original creature, it would be acceptable if they called the red stone the Philosopher's Stone.

After all, in Lin Luo's memory, all the creatures in the original version seem to be unable to interact with red stones, so after they arrive in the real world, it is normal for them to place red stones in high positions.

In order to verify his conjecture, Lin Luo hurriedly continued to read the souvenir that brought about the change in the correction value, and translated it to Jiuyue who was standing aside.

And this souvenir is the answer from the Taoist priest.

"Giving the Philosopher's Stone to Adams is just a part of the plan. Adams has his own advantages among many alternatives - he is a military nobleman who is not loyal to the Victorian royal family and is very ambitious. The most important thing is Amazingly, he's not pedantic in his approach to new technology."

"But Adams is just a stepping stone, he is a record. What is really important is Duke Godotin. Among the eight Dukes of Victoria, Godotin is the most unstable one now. And when he saw the power of the Philosopher's Stone, Finally, he will make the choice we want."

"They will be obsessed with the huge military power exerted by the Philosopher's Stone. This is a temptation they cannot refuse. After that, the Philosopher's Stone will naturally enter other fields. But they will never If they can understand the principles of the Philosopher's Stone, from supply, production to processing, they will need me for all these steps."

"And this is just the beginning. The Philosopher's Stone will step by step replace the existing Originium energy technology in the world. Its unparalleled efficiency will make them give up their existing technology."

"At that time, we can easily overthrow all the rulers of this world and achieve a unification for them that has never been seen in history."

"Afterwards, my Lord will come to enjoy this world, and we will achieve transcendence."

Lin Luo and Jiuyue looked at each other and nodded at the same time: "It's the red stone."

"Hey, it scared me into a cold sweat, I thought the whole world was going to become EMC." September wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and returned to his usual lazy look: "So, Lin Zi, what do you think of the contents of this letter?"

Lin Luo read the letter again and observed his correction value.

From the current point of view, after knowing the defender's thoughts, his correction value still maintains a high-speed floating state.

In other words, the content of the letter may not be important, what is important is the person who read the letter.

"Choose, I think this should be the meaning of correction value fluctuations."

Lin Luo opened the chat group and began to copy the content of the letter, ready to send it to other group friends: "The fluctuation should depend on the choice I make next, and because the system does not know that I will Which choice to make, so until the result comes out, the correction value will remain in this floating phenomenon."

Jiuyue came to a sudden: "So, now you are the cat in Schrödinger's box?"

"You can say that?"

Red Police Lao Hou: This is obvious. The Guardian is trying to combine redstone and Terra's original technology to form a redstone technology that surpasses the existing origin stone energy technology, and he has already produced part of the finished product.

Red Alert Lao Hou: Weapons, compared to applied technology, this kind of existence can indeed reflect the power of red stone technology more intuitively, especially in the current precarious situation of Victoria, an army powerful enough to crush the forces of other dukes , is the decision

119

The key player who will win in this chaos.

Red Police Lao Hou: After ensuring the foundation of rule, the powerful productivity brought by Redstone technology is enough to change the existing social environment of this world. If this defender has some other abilities, there is a certain possibility of unifying Terra. possible.

Hunlao Zixu: To be honest, this sounds quite disturbing.

Meat pigeons suffer salted fish: I don’t think it can be said completely. If it was just to make people upset, then there would not be an increase in the correction value for Brother Lin Zi.

Lobe Director Blisk: Indeed, if the Vindicator's unification of Terra is a purely bad ending, then not only Lin Zige's correction value, but our correction value should also drop together.

Cube Liver Emperor Lin: Hmm...I have some ideas now. Maybe the key point is not to unify Terra, but the red stone technology in the hands of the Vindicators.

Red Alert Lao Hou: Yes, it doesn’t matter what the Vindicator himself is, the system may just think that red stone technology is very useful for Terra’s future.

Soul Lao Zixu: That's true. A technology system with unlimited energy is definitely stronger than the existing origin stone energy technology tree, and redstone will not cause ore disease.

Norman the Gunslinger: Then here comes the problem - leaving Adams alone will give Redstone technology a break from development, and the correction value will skyrocket.

Norman the hotshot: And if you want to control Adams, the development of redstone technology will be hindered, and this is tantamount to opening the plot line of suppressing redstone technology, and the correction value will definitely drop suddenly.

Canglan Xing Yang Wudi: After all, isn’t it just for Dalin to make a choice?

Red Alert Lao Hou: Yes, let Lin Luo make a choice, whether to get more correction values ​​and the rewards brought by positive correction values, or to obtain negative correction values ​​and the new difficulty it brings.

Meat Pigeon Suffering Salted Fish: I think this matter is for Brother Lin to choose, I don’t give opinions.

Zerg Brood September: I listen to Lin Zi, he can take us to the moon!

Soul Lao Zixu: Brother Lin Zi is indeed good at saving the world, so I won’t get involved.

Clear and insoluble in water: me, whatever.

Wu Qing, the dog-headed barrister: It doesn’t matter, I’ll stack q.

Chuan Qi Ba Ye Luo Shu: In this atmosphere, it is hard for me to say that I want to direct brother Lin Zi.

Binge-drinking collapse fluid: Here I suggest Lin Zige to toss a coin, which is more exciting.

Cube Liver Emperor Lin: I guess I heard it. You all say you don’t care, but in fact you all want to have fun, right?

Cube Liver Emperor Lin: But actually I think so too. Although I am not the justice envoy who likes high jumps, I don’t like that Adams, I don’t like that defender, and I don’t like this redstone technology. .

Cube Liver Emperor Lin: The system has no right to specify the ending of the task for me!

Meat pigeon suffers from salted fish: I understand what you mean, it's time to kill the Adams family.

Red Police Lao Hou: Good.

------------

Chapter 72 Like to teach players how to play games, don't you?

Lin Luo put away the letters and shulker box and began to think about his next goal.

The first thing that can be determined is that he needs to recover and even destroy the weapon that the defender gave Adams, which is also the most critical point.

If the fluctuation of the correction value can be regarded as a ripple, then the weapon is a heavy stone smashed into the water.

And as long as this heavy stone that continues to vibrate is taken away, the ripples will gradually dissipate due to the lack of follow-up power not long after they spread out.

As for how the defender would react to this in the future, Lin Luo didn't think too much about it and just dealt with it as he saw it.

Perhaps the redstone technology brought by the guardians is really remarkable, it can drive a lot of fluctuations in the correction value, and even lead to a clue hidden in the system.

But Lin Luo didn't like this feeling, it could even be called disgust.

This is like some parents who can be described as stubborn, forcing their children to do something that seems right in their eyes, and will not explain any reasons, only saying that it is for your own good. Come as an answer.

And converting this attitude to players is equivalent to the kind of game company that asks players to play games.

Players study all kinds of props and combinations, and make the gameplay flourish. Then the production team comes over and criticizes various gameplays, and then arrogantly says that your gameplay is not good and does not meet our original intention, so you Play the game the way we want you to play it.

As we all know, for the last game company that did this, players were already organizing its burial ceremony.

And on the other hand, red stone technology does have the potential to replace the original Source Stone energy technology because red stone is used as the base, but Lin Luo feels that this thing is just that.

Not to mention that Lin Luo's technology modules have not been unlocked yet, and the more advanced technology modules, such as Dragon Research, have not yet appeared.

But just Industry 2, which is regarded as an introductory technology module to MC module players. The material generating machine and UU assembly table inside are pulled out and placed in front of Redstone Technology, which can make it stand out from the gap in technological strength. Write like a god.

So Lin Luo doesn't think this redstone technology is irreplaceable.

"That's why it's weird to say that." Jiuyue crossed her forelimbs in front of her body, posing in a posture similar to hugging her chest

120

: "Since there are better alternatives to the technology players have on hand, why does the system still value redstone technology so highly?"

Lin Luo thought for a while, but had no clue for a while. He could only respond in a joking way: "Maybe the system has never played MC? At least it doesn't understand the content in the module."

"Then this system is too anthropomorphic." September expressed some disapproval of this statement: "This is different from the cold demeanor it showed before, and I personally feel that no one will give the system a The contrast between the elite in front and the illiterate in the back is a cute setting that won’t hurt anyone’s xp.”

Listening to Jiuyue's words, Lin Luo had a thoughtful look on his face, but in the end he just chuckled and said, "Maybe."

During the conversation between the two, the mounted police had already established a blockade at the entrance of the tunnel, but after so many things happened, the police force in the local urban area had not arrived at the scene, and all order and management could only be done by The Mounties are in charge.

Looking at these Terra natives around, Jiuyue suddenly asked: "Have you found an explanation?"

"Explain what?"

The worker bee pointed to Gebri who was receiving first aid at the scene, and said in a low voice, "You are going to kill the Adams family next."

"Do you think I'm the kind of person like Lao Hou who likes to kill his whole family?"

Lin Luo murmured, but he also understood what September wanted to express.

In any case, that Adams was a powerful aristocrat in Victoria after all, and he had worked in Carraton for a long time, and his influence in the city's military and police was quite impressive.

Even though Lin Luo now has a certain authority and prestige, he is definitely not as good as Adams.

At present, none of these bad things are pointed at Adams, and there is no evidence on the witch to directly prove that Adams was involved.

Her hand letter did record the layout of Karaton, but the problem was that the witch's hand letter was written in the words of the mc world, and other players couldn't understand it, let alone a native of Terra.

In short, people don't know that Adams is involved in the series of disasters in Caraton City, so in their view, Lin Luo has no reason to intercept and kill Adams.

"Then there's no explanation." Lin Luo shrugged: "Just have a round of raw rice and cooked rice. And I think that guy may not be able to pick himself out cleanly.

"With the character of the witch, it is impossible for her to leave no insurance on Adams - it is not difficult to see from the letter that there is a certain difference between her and the defenders. The defenders want to rule the world, but the witch essentially wants to Destroy the world.”

September scratched his chin and asked: "Then what do you think the witch used to do with Adams? Drug control?"

Lin Luo shook his head, recalling what Atyrau had seen, and what Loranta said about Grolifa: "The portal to the nether world has a strong ability to pollute the spirits of the people of Terra, and the witch is sure Let Adams come into contact with the nether portal.

"I just don't know which part of Adams's obsession was magnified by the Nether Portal."

……

In the Earl's Mansion, Adams was sitting on the main seat of the indoor playground, wearing a full set of heavy armor, and was resting with his eyes closed.

In his hand was a long sword with exquisite workmanship, and in its sword frame was inlaid a bright gemstone with thousands of facets.

"Sophia hasn't come back yet?" He asked the attendants beside him.

"Ms. Sophia still hasn't sent back any information." The attendant replied: "Following the instructions of the Earl, we found the recall water column left by Ms. Sophia, but it has been activated."

"Heh, I can think of it too."

Adams opened his eyes and let out a sigh of disdain: "The big explosion in the city must be her handwriting. It seems that she has got what she wants."

There was a trace of worry on the attendant's face: "But Ms. Sophia is the only person who has entered and exited the purple door after all. Without her leadership, Lord Earl, should we continue with that plan?"

Adams looked at the attendant with a little disdain in his eyes: "If everyone was like you, just blindly looking forward and backward when facing the unknown, then Victoria would not exist in this world.
