When she couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest in the water, Lin Ziyue reluctantly tried to check the information of the things in her hand, and the system really popped up a virtual window, showing the information of these two things, and flipped up and down left and right with her gaze: Silver Crystal-Xue'er (task item)

The Crystal of Winter, the Guardian of Snow.

Bind

Scarlet Crystal - Red Eye (quest item)

The Crystal of Summer, the Destruction of Fire.

Bind

Just when Lin Ziyue thought that she was about to be vomited, the prompt sounds of the system sounded in her ears one after another:

Ding, congratulations on completing the special quest, "The Cursed Demon of Huai Village", with a 95% completion rate.

Ding, since you have exceeded the level of the Starter Village, you will be automatically teleported to a random main city, please wait.

When the system sound stopped, the weightlessness of sinking and floating in the water also dissipated, Lin Ziyue felt like she had fallen from the air on the flat ground, and couldn't help but open her eyes, the dazzling sunlight made her a little uncomfortable for a while, and then she found herself standing at the gate of the crowded town, the arch above her head was engraved with "Cloud Return to the City", players who came and went in various appearances, and walked past her in groups of three or two, and the vivid words in her ears almost made Lin Ziyue think that she was just having a nightmare.

She opened the character interface in a trance, and found that there were a few more small windows on the interface-

The most conspicuous thing is that above the character bar on the left, there are more physical strength and spiritual power values, and then there is a short skill value, and the information of the character becomes:

Health: 100/100

Spirit: 30/30

Skill Value: 10/10

Moon shadow in the forest

Title: "Absolute Neutrality"

Level 10

No anomalous status

No teaming

No mercenary groups

Murderous aura: 0

Prestige of the Six Realms: Friendship of the Human World, Friendship of the Demon World, Friendship of the Demon World, Friendship of the Underworld, Friendship of the Immortal World, and Friendship of the God Realm.

And in the weapon column, there is only a skull staff left, Lin Ziyue suddenly remembered that she threw the sword in the staff to Snow, and then there was no more, she only had the staff left, and she could only develop the mage route in the future, she shook her head in annoyance, she didn't expect that her weapons would be lost just by lending them to NPCs in the plot, what about the binding?

Her eyes moved to the skill bar, and the sword skill "Seeing the Seams" really disappeared, but the skill box became complicated, divided into three columns: active skills, passive skills and title skills, the passive skills in the middle period are "hell", the active skills are a "Fire Demon Advent", a "spiritualism", and the title skill is "Justice of the Inquisitor", so Lin Ziyue clicked in one by one and checked it out:

[Spiritualism]: The messenger of the underworld, always has a little privilege.

Chanting: "Dute meow!"

Titles are valid forever.

Lin Ziyue was excited, although these three skills seemed a bit nonsense, but a summoning skill and a resurrection technique were already rare special skills, and before she could continue to happily check the newly obtained props in the backpack, an interface popped up:

"The Sky City Warrior wants to add you as a friend, do you accept it?"

Lin Ziyue was stunned, chose to confirm, and then a series of secret chats instantly popped out and flew in front of her face.

Knights of the Sky City:

Hey, hey, hey, you can see the private chat, right? You're out there, aren't you?

I am one of the system monitoring personnel belonging to Yunguicheng, and we found that the recovery point of your account data is closest to Yunguicheng, so I have uploaded my account to contact you. I'm going to talk about what you might have just seen, and I don't know how you did it, but you're the only player who has done that kind of standalone quest so far, and the quest you did wasn't designed for us.

There was a strange phenomenon in the phantom world half a month ago, the player's data was suddenly blocked and there was a monitoring isolation, as if it was isolated into an independent database, but after a period of time, it was out of the abnormal state, and the player didn't remember what happened to the abnormal state, and then we simulated their data anomaly, and found that the code pattern of task failure would be displayed at the end of the data.

We suspect that there are electronic viruses with AI thinking in the Fantasy World, and outside of the level of our monitoring, they are carrying out activities that we cannot observe, and they are pulling players into their own database for analysis and detection, we don't know how this situation appeared, and we don't know if this will bring sequelae to players, because from some abnormal data feedback, most players have suffered varying degrees of realistic damage, fear experiences, and violent emotional fluctuations in those independent dungeons.

I'm rushing in your direction right now, you stand still and don't move!

Lin Ziyue was so confused that she turned off the character interface, looked around, and the players on the street were coming and going, but she was very confused in her heart, and she didn't know which one was going on.

If that dungeon, that quest was not designed by the system, not made by the maker, then what the hell is going on? She did get all kinds of rewards, no different from the independent dungeon in a normal holographic game, if it was really a virus, what virus could escape the top AI of the Phantom World to infiltrate the game?

Just when she was in a daze, a system prompt sounded in her ears:

"Ding, dear players, since there are already players who have opened the Six Realms Full Prestige, the system will force the upgrade and maintenance to be opened after half an hour, please go offline in the safe area as soon as possible, players who have not been offline after half an hour will be forced to exit the original underground line of the game, I am sorry for the inconvenience caused to everyone, thank you for your understanding. ”

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the street. "When is this sudden maintenance?"Half an hour?Why doesn't the system notify in advance!How can there be a sudden announcement of maintenance!""The prestige of the Six Realms?What is that?,Do any of you have opened it?Isn't it only the prestige of the human realm?""I'm rubbing,What kind of pit daddy game is this?"My mission is in the next main city.,I can't pass for half an hour!" "The phantom world wants to be maintained??Don't you even bother to release this kind of news on the official website?!"

Listening to the complaints around her, Lin Ziyue clicked on the character interface, and saw that she was full of friendly Six Realms prestige, and she couldn't cry or laugh in her heart. When she turned off the interface, she saw a man in a green shirt and long sleeves trotting towards her, and when she saw her, she seemed even more excited and ran a little faster.

"You! You're the player with abnormal data! Quick, come with me! Time is running out," he dragged Lin Ziyue and began to run towards the city, "The reputation of the Six Realms was originally the content of the next stage of the game, and it will take at least four months before all the full-level players can be opened in our plan, this is a mess, it's all messed up, the eldest sister is afraid that she will beat the big brother to death, and the rest of us will say as we walk! I need information about all the rewards you get from the mission!"

So the two of them said while trotting, Lin Ziyue briefly stated the skills he obtained, the evolution of equipment, and the experience rewards, title rewards, and equipment rewards he obtained. But after Lin Ziyue hesitated for a moment in her heart, she concealed the existence of the soul crystal, she had a vague intuition, this was her biggest gain in this copy. As a player with average physical strength, who is not good at fighting monsters or fighting, collecting the plot and hidden events in the corners of the system is Lin Ziyue's biggest hobby in online games. As a casual party, she was afraid that the empty city knight opposite would forcibly take back what she had on her.

"I have a general understanding of these things you obtained, fortunately, they are all just things within the scope of the game, although they are a little ahead of their time, but they don't need to be forcibly recycled, but it is the title that forcibly opens the prestige of the Six Realms, which brings us the most troublesome accident. The Empty City Knights stopped in front of a building in the bustling area of the city, and the four big characters "Skill Guild" were written on the door.

"This is the skill guild that will exist in every main city.,The main function is to provide some primary props for life skills.,Or teach some general skills.,But it costs a little money.,Of course, the most important point of this guild.,It's the secret station of the phantom world administrators.,Ordinary players won't know about these.,But think about it, we'll deal with each other often in the future.,I'll tell you directly.,After all, although your data has returned to normal.,But we can't guarantee that anything else will happen.,So we plan to conduct long-term directional monitoring. …… Ah, you don't have to worry about playing games, you don't know we're watching you anyway, do you? Don't stare at me. ”

"There is such a GM station in every city, so wouldn't there be many people in the whole Phantom World global implementation?" Lin Ziyue was embarrassed to change her gaze, and also changed the topic casually.

"It's not all real people like me, but also some of them are under the Phantom Lord system, the electronic AI controlled by the subsystem, the simulation degree is almost the same as that of a real person, in the world of the Phantom World, in addition to the arbitrary development of unlimited careers, our super electronic intelligence is also a big selling point, although the programmer's brain is a little crazy...... You'll know when you see it, everyone has come to Yungui City through the Internet, and now many heads of the management department have come to Yungui City!" Speaking of which, the knights of the empty city winked at Lin Ziyue and looked at her playfully.

Lin Ziyue didn't react much, she always felt like a newly discovered species, so a group of big people or professionals who would not have anything to do with her flocked to observe her. However, she was secretly glad that the observation meeting would take less than twenty minutes at most, and it would take more than ten minutes for the two of them to run in from outside the city, and the group of scholars would not have much time to judge themselves.

As if he felt that Lin Ziyue's reaction was very weak, the Empty City Knights led her all the way down the crowded hall to the office in the depths, and then walked around a few corridors, stopping in front of a door marked with a conference room, and he knocked on the door.

"Please come in. A very pleasant female voice sounded inside, and it seemed unusually young to listen to it.

Lin Ziyue followed the knights of the empty city into this conference room, there was a round table in the conference room, and there were four people in different costumes sitting at the table, a long-haired woman in a suit and sunglasses, a mummy with a face tied with a bandage all over her body, a girl with a sweet smile wearing a wizard hat, and a middle-aged man wearing a short vest and shorts but wrapped in a cloak, these four strange people each occupied one side of the round table, and the girl closest to the door saw Lin Ziyue come in, and immediately waved her wand excitedly, motioning for her to sit next to her, but before Lin Ziyue passed, a flame burst out of the wand and burned the chair next to her。

This guy is so dangerous!

So Lin Ziyue had no choice but to smile bitterly at the girl, and followed the empty city knight to sit between the mummy and the woman in sunglasses, and the empty city had to sit between the woman in sunglasses and the middle-aged man.

"Don't laugh and laugh, there's something to talk about. There's not a lot of time, so it's better to hurry. The man was still holding a cigarette in his hand, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he spit out a smoke ring in the air before he said without hurry.

"Let me introduce myself first, I'm Xuanyuan," the woman took off her sunglasses, her golden eyes looked aggressive, and Lin Ziyue suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression coming to her.

"Hello, hello. ”

Then the woman took her sunglasses and pointed clockwise to several people one by one: "The smoker is old, the smile is healthier, and there are walking mummies." ”

The name is very recognizable to people, quite in line with temperament, Lin Ziyue complained silently.

"Miss Moon Shadow in the forest, the reason why we came to you, I think the empty city has already explained, we want to ask you if you have any experience of overstimulation, this strange virus has appeared in the Phantom World Business until now, everyone in the company is sincerely afraid, for fear of causing any personal injury or even death, because the brain's hints to the body are beyond people's imagination. I don't know if you've heard of a psychological experiment in which a prisoner from a certain country was tied to a table by the experimenters, and then they scratched his foot and told the prisoner that he would bleed to death, but the prisoner didn't really bleed, and the sound of blood he heard was just simulated by the experimentalists with water droplets, but in the end, the prisoner died, and the symptom was excessive blood loss......"

"So you're worried I'm going to get hurt?"

The mummy spoke, and the voice seemed to be a man, but due to the bandage, his voice was several muffled: "No, it's not just hurt, I'm worried that you will be tampered with by the virus, become a data carrier, and even be read by memories, and be decomposed by those high AI viruses that are enough to break the phantom world, and then write a programmed personality and memory on your virtual character, and shape you into a part of them to expand the transmission route......"

Xiaoxiao interrupted the mummy's words with a smile: "It's really a wood who loves to joke, you will scare my sister! Don't be afraid, sister, he is just teasing you! That kind of science fiction-like development, even if it is two more centuries away, it will not be-"

"It's possible!" the mummy suddenly roared, really startling Lin Ziyue, who was sitting next to him.

"Look, I told you that the programmer of the Phantom World is a crazy guy, he reads too much science fiction. The empty city is not salty and indifferent, so he interjected.

"But isn't he a programmer? Since he can design the basic program of the illusory world, then his words are not completely unreasonable in the illusory world, right?" Lin Ziyue looked at the empty city in confusion.

As a result, her question silenced the entire table, and for a moment the atmosphere in the room was very strange.

The man extinguished the cigarette on the table before he spoke, breaking the silence: "The illusory world is not so much designed by him, but rather by his chance, and then he expanded and applied his discovery, forming the thriving and huge computing simulation you are in now." ”

The mummy shook his head: "It was the illusory world that found me, not me who found the illusory world." ”

Lin Ziyue listened to the conversation between these people without a clue, and didn't know what to say for a while, or Kongcheng pulled the topic back: "Then what about the things in the forest now?"

"Let's do it, I feel that there is nothing abnormal about the abnormal data left on her body, and there is nothing special, whether it is a skill or a title, it is all planned by the planning department, and there is nothing beyond the game itself. The woman brought the sunglasses back to her face and smiled at Lin Ziyue.

Next is the discussion between the woman and the middle-aged man and the girl, what they said ranged from the possibility of the virus to marketing and compensation methods, all the way deeper and deeper, at the beginning Lin Ziyue was still patiently listening with Kongcheng, after listening to it for a few minutes, she found that she really didn't understand, but Kongcheng looked serious, and from time to time he would say a few words and argue with the three people, Lin Ziyue then gave up, bored and looked at the mummy's bandage.

It's also strange to say, after talking about the phantom world and the problem outside the program, the mummy kept silent, so Lin Ziyue stared at him intently, but because the bandage was too dead, he couldn't see his eyes at all, Lin Ziyue couldn't help but wonder if this guy was asleep.

Lin Ziyue sat here in a daze, and sat there until the system issued an announcement, and when the game was about to be forcibly closed in three minutes, several people broke up, and just when Lin Ziyue followed the empty city out of the door of the conference room, a window popped up:

"The Walking Mummy wants to add you as a friend, do you accept it?"

Lin Ziyue nodded to accept, and then a secret chat came.

Walking Mummy: Make a note of my game number, Shadow Dance.
