Zhou Jian didn't care about the two things that the old lady gave him at this time, but asked, "I want to ask, if I complete your task, can I return to the original world, uh...... Maybe you don't know what I mean, I'm actually from another world, we call you NPCs, do you know what NPCs are? ”

Marco glanced at Zhou Jian and said, "You're talking about other universes, I know, this is "Gods and Demons 2", I'm an NPC, I have completed the task I gave you, you can go back." ”

"God...... Gods and Demons 2? Zhou Jian was stunned, he naturally remembered the explanation in the magnetic film: The game space set by aliens is divided into several levels, and the lowest-level "Gods and Demons 1" is only a "audition" suitable person, and those who pass the selection can enter "Gods and Demons 2", and one will be promoted until all are completed.

In other words, there may even be "Gods and Demons 3" and "Gods and Demons 4".

How did I inexplicably enter "Gods and Demons 2"? If you want to say that the power ranking of global players in "Gods and Demons 1", it is estimated that you can count to 10 million to count yourself, why did you enter "Gods and Demons 2"?

Is it because of the Demon Slayer incarnation?

I am the 128th 'outsider', so who was before? Is it an evolutionary among humans? Could it be that long before the open beta of Gods and Demons, evolutionaries around the world have already started playing Gods and Demons?

Or...... They're just ...... Alien?

No, if aliens have been here, the NPCs here should speak alien languages, right? At the very least, it should be some kind of universal lingua franca or something.

"Old woman, I want to ask, you just said that I am the 128th 'outsider', so I want to ask, when did the first outsider come here, and what do they look like? I mean, he's like me......" Zhou Jian pointed to himself, "Hair, eyes, nose, no hair on his body, two arms and two legs, we call ourselves human, are they human?" ”

The old lady seemed to be lost in thought, and after a while, she said slowly: "It's been a long, long time, no one knows when the first outsider came, and for so many years, our tribe has been doing the work of welcoming outsiders. I was just sensible when I met the first outsider, he was the 98th outsider, and he looked like a ...... like you A red-skinned demon with wings. ”

“……”

Zhou Jian was stunned, I am afraid that the previous 127 outsiders have nothing to do with the existing evolutionaries on the earth.

"Red-skinned with wings? What language does he speak, the same as you and me? We call this language Earthling...... Uh, in fact, it's not even Earth Language, it should be said that it is Mandarin, and they also speak Mandarin? Zhou Jian felt that his brain was a little messed up, how could aliens say a thing to the Chinese people, could it be that in ancient times, the language of the ancestors was taught by aliens? No, even if that's the case, they should be teaching oracle bones, not modern Chinese.

"It's different." The old chief shook his head and said.

"Different? Do you understand? ”

"We can understand that we can communicate with anyone through spirit."

Zhou Jian was slightly stunned, and then remembered that this was a plane composed of spiritual energy, but there was still a question...... "Why do you look the same as me?" In Zhou Jian's imagination, the makers of "Gods and Demons 2" should make NPCs according to their own templates, which is reasonable.

How can it be so similar to humans? Could it be that the creators of "Gods and Demons 2" were originally humans? Or is it a race that resembles humans? That's a coincidence, isn't it?

"We were born like this." The old chief looked at Zhou Jian with strange eyes, as if he was wondering why this young man had so many strange questions, I haven't asked you why you are the same as us?

Zhou Jian was stunned for a while, could it be that humans wrote "Gods and Demons 2"? In order to confirm this conjecture, Zhou Jian asked, "How old are you, old woman?" ”

"Hmm...... It's more than 300 years old, and people are too old to remember anything......"

“……”

Zhou Jian took a deep breath, if this 300-year-old is not the background of the NPC character set by the program, but the time that the old lady really spends, then three hundred years ago, human beings did not even have the Internet, and what online games did they play, that is to say, the players of "Gods and Demons" may not be limited to the earth in the past or in the present...... At the age of three hundred, the 98th outsider was only seen when he was a child, and I am afraid that this tribe has been doing the work of welcoming outsiders for a thousand years. What a scary time.

If the "Gods and Demons" played by the earthlings is just one of the "audition" locations...... Realizing this, Zhou Jian felt a chill down his spine.

But I still don't understand why all the NPCs in "Gods and Demons 2" are earthlings...... Zhou Jian shook his head, he didn't want to think about it, from his surname, Zhou Jian is not a YYIST full of imagination and adventurous spirit, he prefers to live a down-to-earth struggle, he doesn't want to have anything to do with anything ethereal like aliens.

Although he has a premonition of uneasiness in his heart, he must complete the task according to the setting of "Gods and Demons 2", because he wants to go home.

"I would like to ask what the mission is?" he said. ”

"There's actually a story background to this mission, but I'm too lazy to say it, and I don't think you want to hear it, so I'll tell you the goal of the mission - kill the spider queen in the underground lair."

Zhou Jian was dumbfounded, most NPCs will say, xxx years ago, the gods and demons war, and then the xxx warriors were sealed, xxx made trouble, and then for the sake of justice, you have to kill xxx and so on, this NPC is simple enough.

Kill the Spider Queen, in "Gods and Demons 1", Elder Marco just asked the player to kill a level 5 spider, that task is extremely simple, and this task, judging from the two green wolves he encountered outside the city, will definitely not be easy.

The two green wolves, who can only be small minions, force themselves to do everything they can, if it is a spider's nest...... Is it possible for the overwhelming spiders and the spider queen among the many spiders to succeed on their own?

"Outsider, come with me, I'll show you the two things I gave you, it's our clan's duty to be here." The old lady said, turned around and walked into the side room of the tent, looking at the old lady's rickety back, the weirdness in Zhou Jian's heart became stronger and stronger, he has always felt that something is missing since he entered this tribe, think carefully about what he saw and heard along the way, and then compared with the white-bearded old men in "Gods and Demons", Zhou Jian's mind flashed, yes, this tribe lacks vitality.

Whether it was the previous guard or the old lady named Marco, they all looked lifeless.

Along the way, although some people will look at themselves a few times, but no one has ever spoken, they don't know Zhou Jian is not unusual, but they should always know the long-legged girl guard, but only a few children smile at them.

But this should be a normal NPC, the NPCs of "Gods and Demons 1" can only be said to be too spoofed before, and now Zhou Jian will not wonder why the NPCs in "Gods and Demons 1" are so realistic, because they are all ultra-modern technology in a real plane with spiritual energy condensed virtual characters, naturally not a computer program can compare.

The old lady had gone to the corner of the tent by this time, and she took a long pole and hooked a box from the wall of the tent. It is a very quaint wooden box, without any pattern carving, it is covered with dust, and it looks like it is some years old.

Is it equipment? Zhou Jian was a little looking forward to it.

The old lady stretched out her old wood-like hand to push the box open, revealing the contents of the box—an ancient book.

Is it a skill book? In "Gods and Demons 1", Chief Marco will give a lock-picking skill book worth half a gold coin, "Gods and Demons 2" will not be so cheating.

Zhou Jian raised his eyes and looked up, it was a thread-bound book with a cover wrapped in sheepskin, which read...... Uh, I don't understand.

That's not the text that Zhou Jian knows, it can't be an alien text, if these NPC programs use spiritual energy to communicate, but the text is an alien text, it makes sense.

The old lady said, "This is the spiritual mind of the Shadow Clan. ”

Is the so-called mental method a skill book?

Shadow Clan? The Tribe of Shadows, when you think about it, is a name that suits the appearance of thieves.

Zhou Jian is very happy, you can get it again with your own upgrade after equipping or something, but the skills are different, and the skills you learn in this world are likely to be out-of-print skills.

Zhou Jian took the skill book with both hands, "Can I use it now?" ”

"Yes."

Zhou Jian's heart is full of expectations, what kind of skills will it be?

He tried to link the spiritual power to the book, using the skill book according to the method of "Gods and Demons 1", in "Gods and Demons 1", the skill book will disappear after using it once, and then the player will learn the skills instantly.

This time, however...... No response?

Well? Not enough grades?

Zhou Jian tried again, but there was still no response.

He glanced at the old lady suspiciously, and the old lady also looked at him suspiciously, the two looked at each other for a while, and Zhou Jian coughed lightly, "Uh...... How I can't use this book. ”

The old lady looked at Zhou Jian with the expression of looking at the Alzheimer's patient, "How can you use it if you don't open it?" ”

"Flip ...... Opened? Zhou Jian was a little confused, he had already realized from the old lady's expression that something was wrong, what did it mean, was it really like cultivating martial arts cheats, opening the book and learning chapter by chapter? But I don't even know a word.

Zhou Jian opened the book and looked at it, sure enough, it was all the weird words on the cover, what kind of world is this "Gods and Demons 2", why can he understand the speech, but he can't understand the text.

"You can't read?" The old lady understood, and asked.
