"Duke Tulip?" Chen Xiaolian thought carefully and shook his head: "I haven't heard of this name. ”

"Of course you haven't heard of it. Miao Yan stood up and looked in a trance: "Because he is not a person of your time at all, but a legend from five thousand years ago." ”

"Five thousand years ago?" Chen Xiaolian frowned: "Your history...... For so long?"

"Looks like ...... In this lower world, neither you nor I will be regulated by the system. Miao Yan let out a sigh of relief: "Haven't you always wanted to know what the upper world is like?"

"So, can you tell me?" Chen Xiaolian's eyes lit up.

Although he had interpreted the information contained in his wings, it did not include anything about the upper world.

Chen Xiaolian has always been curious, or rather...... Every Awakened is curious about what the upper world the player lives in is like.

But in the lower world, no one can know about the upper world.

In London, Miao Yan answered this question once. But even if Chen Xiaolian is a loophole, he is also imprisoned by the laws of the system and has lost all his memories.

But here, in this lower world, which was created from the seeds of the World Tree, it seems to be ...... It's out of the control of the development team!

"Actually, if you had been paying attention to the time that time, you should know that the answer is not too complicated, and it only took me five minutes to tell you. Miao Yan said slowly: "There is not much difference between the upper world and your world. ”

Chen Xiaolian stared at Miao Yan intently, not letting go of a word in her mouth.

"You've probably heard of a player falling in love with the Awoken, right?"

"Yes. Chen Xiaolian nodded. He remembered the rumors he had heard when he first became a bugger.

"So you can easily guess that we look the same as you. After all...... If you were to enter an alien world and face a monster with seven heads and eight hands, you wouldn't have any love for each other, would you?" Miao Yan smiled faintly.

"That's right. Chen Xiaolian also laughed.

"Except for the differences in words and language, our two worlds are almost identical, and even the level of technology is almost the same. We probably ...... It's a little bit higher, but the means of transportation are the same as airplanes and cars, and the means of communication are also mobile phones.

But here's the big difference...... The history of the upper world is much longer than yours!

The Upper World has been around for 20,000 years since records began.

From about 10,000 years ago, the upper world has evolved into modern times - computers, mobile phones, airplanes, cars, etc., almost exactly like the earth.

But the problem is that since then, there has been no progress in science, and the development of the whole world has stagnated and become a backwater. ”

"10,000 years...... Hearing this, Chen Xiaolian was a little incomprehensible: "This is not reasonable at all!"

"When something has been around long enough, everybody gets used to it. Miao Yan sighed softly: "In the upper world, perhaps many years ago, there was still a profession of scientific researcher. But perhaps because at a certain stage of historical development, all research can no longer make any progress, and with the passage of time, everyone has gradually agreed on this status quo. ”

"So...... What does it mean to you to participate in the dungeon?" Chen Xiaolian continued to ask, "If you die in the dungeon, will you also die?"

"Of course. Miao Yan nodded without hesitation: "Otherwise, why do you think all the players are working desperately in the dungeon?"

"Then why do you want to participate in the dungeon?" Chen Xiaolian hurriedly asked the most important question: "What is our world for you?"

"Actually, I don't know much about this question. A bitter smile appeared on Miao Yan's face: "Even, no player can really figure it out.

First of all, not all the inhabitants of the upper world are players, and the vast majority of them are just ordinary people, living a life of sunrise and sunset, just ...... The average person in your world is the same.

We, the players, are a very small minority of the upper world, and like you Awakened, we are not known to others.

We don't know why we become players, just like you become Awakened, but one day, suddenly there is a system in your consciousness, like a 'ding'.

Then, we received a message from someone claiming to be from the development team telling us that we had been selected to be a participant in the game.

Aside from posting quests, the development team doesn't communicate with us, just mechanically and regularly posts quests to recruit dungeons.

So we know as little about them as you do. ”

"So, you players and we Awakened ...... Actually, there isn't much of a difference. Chen Xiaolian chewed on what Miao Yan said: "You don't know the identity of the development team, you don't even know the meaning of participating in this game, and you have to risk your life at any time." It seems to ......"

He suddenly laughed: "You don't have any points worthy of the word 'upper'!"

"There are still some of them. Miao Yan shook her head: "At least one thing we can be sure of is that your world will be refreshed regularly, while ours will not.

As I said, players are a very small minority of the Upper Worlds, and unlike you Awakened, we don't have any communication in real life.

No player reveals who they are in real life. The names we use in the lower worlds are all pseudonyms. For example, if I am in the upper world, of course I am not called Miao Yan.

In addition to participating in quests together, even teammates on the same team will only use team channels to communicate in reality. Trying to find out who other players really are in real life, even if they are teammates, is the biggest taboo in the upper world.

Players who are not teammates will contact and communicate with each other through the Internet, sharing some intelligence and information.

Players die when they play in the lower worlds, but new players are constantly joining, so this underground network of player communication has been operating for 10,000 years.

So the history we can trace back is also 10,000 years.

It is because of this that we are able to record everything that happens in the lower world.

We can see that your world is constantly being refreshed!

Therefore, the vast majority of players are convinced that the world that is for us to come and participate in the dungeon game is a virtual world that has been created, and it is our lower level!"

Refresh ...... How many times has it happened?" Chen Xiaolian took a deep breath.

"Five times. Miao Yan's expression was very solemn: "But the strange thing is that the time interval between these five refreshes is not uniform. ”

"When?"

"The first refresh came five thousand years ago, and then every thousand years. Miao Yan looked at Chen Xiaolian deeply: "It's not so absolute, there will always be a fluctuation of a few years before and after, but it's generally this number." And 992 years have passed since the last time it was refreshed. ”

"In other words, our world may usher in the next refresh at any time, right?" Chen Xiaolian sighed with a wry smile: "Then aren't you players also in danger at any time?"

"Not really. Miao Yan shook her head: "Before each refresh, the development team will stop issuing dungeon calls, and at the same time, forcibly take all high-level players who log in during non-dungeon time offline. So the refresh of the lower world is not dangerous for us, except for ......"

"Except for what?" Chen Xiaolian hurriedly asked.

"Except for the first refresh. Miao Yan said quietly: "It happened five thousand years ago, and it was refreshed for the first time. ”

"What does it have to do with this guy?" Chen Xiaolian keenly sensed the connection, turned his head sideways, and glanced at the tombstone on the ground beside him

"I don't know. No one knows either. Miao Yan shook her head: "But...... The first refresh, indeed, was after the disappearance of Duke Tulip. ”
