Chapter 319: Number of People Online: 1

Zhao Xu's gaze fell directly on the countdown that had been reset to zero, and several guesses passed through his heart, and he was a little uncertain for a while.

Playing the game "Arthur", Zhao Xu did enjoy some extraordinary treatment, but these are basically the results of the interaction between the characters in Arthur and him.

The only thing that surpassed the game mechanics was that he bought a Double Elite account with potential points on the first day, and then used the characteristics of the Double Elite to continue to snowball.

In fact, the Double Elite is also a burden for players in the early days.

Because the vocational training itself delays a lot of time, if a player chooses a mage and a priest for the dual elite route like Zhao Xu, I'm afraid it will take two months to get out of the mountain.

In fact, two months later, there are basically very few test accounts left in the game.

There are only a few who have successfully snowballed and succeeded, and they can still nourish and live.

To log in or not to log in?

At this time, the whole world is so entangled by people like Zhao Xu who know the inside story of Arthur.

Because he is connected to the real world, he uses the legendary energy transmission channel.

After two days of careful scrutiny of the magic circle on the Mithril panel, Zhao Xu guessed the truth that best fits the facts, even if he didn't have any first-hand information.

In that mysterious research institute, when the senior researchers of the Mage Guild activated the material transmission channel, they also affected the energy channel, directly interrupting the energy channel of all players on the earth who projected past.

And I'm afraid that there are eighty percent of the factors in this, because Zhao Xu is standing too close, plus he has enough spell slots and magic equipment, and the aura intensity is beyond the limit.

Even Zhao Xu suspected that it was caused by the possessed Lux on his body, and even the fragment of the godhead.

Because these two are unexpected situations for the Mage Guild.

In just a few seconds, after Zhao Xu deliberated on seven or eight situations he would encounter, he still resolutely clicked to log in.

As the confirmation button was pressed, Zhao Xu suddenly felt a powerful fluctuation coming from the brain domain imaging helmet.

Colorful light continued to flash in his pupils, as if he had fallen into a pool flowing with rainbow stars, and the strong visual impact of colors continued to cover his vision.

This strong stimulation immediately swept through his entire consciousness, causing him to fall asleep instantly.

At this time, Zhao Xu didn't notice that at the identity information input interface on the next level, there was a line of current players online below.

The moment Zhao Xu landed and entered, the bright red and dazzling "0" turned into "1" with a slight jump.

At this time, many players who also went to bed, some directly entered the movie immersion mode and watched the movie.

There are also a few people who don't give up, and they directly click all the way into the game interface, and they suddenly see that the number of online players in the game is not 0, and they are immediately happy.

I don't feel like playing every day, and suddenly I haven't entered Arthur for a whole day, which has made many players a little unaccustomed.

A bunch of fighters on the forum complained that their combat skills were about to be rusty.

It's just that when these crab-eating players enter the official login screen, they see that the cooldown countdown is cold 09:51:23.

Players who found this basically thought that they were just stuck on the machine, and if they reacted quickly, they went directly to find their game friends and tried to log in.

Some even posted on forums to inform other players to verify.

Many players on the forum thought it was a boring prank at first glance, and the scene of this wolf had teased many people in the past two days, and it also made the moderator seal a batch of rhythmic accounts.

It's just that when I saw the screenshot of the post, the "current number of people online in the game: 1" on the login interface, some people were still itchy, so they picked up the helmet and loaded the interface.

Then the same encounter arose.

The screenshot of the "number of people online: 1" on the forum immediately confirmed the authenticity, and the focus evolved from suspicion of PS to server display failure, and of course, some privilege conspiracy was indispensable.

From the first ten hours of the official landing, there was a lot of fluctuation.

Many good players are speculating who is the real "1".

And after Zhao Xu regained consciousness for a while, he found that his eyes were still the mysterious research place when he finally disappeared.

The researchers and the instruments in the venue are still there, but there are fewer people in the second-floor corridor.

Compared with his memory two days ago, Zhao Xu still has seventy or eighty percent of the people.

However, everyone's robe style and color are slightly different, otherwise Zhao Xu would have thought that he was just off the line for a while, not more than a day and a half.

That would make him guess a terrible result - the two worlds were out of sync.

At this time, Zhao Xu found that Antinoya was still standing in a position close to before, and the other party also noticed his appearance.

In other words, all the researchers present, including all the mages in the corridor on the second floor, focused their attention on Zhao Xu, who had disappeared and then suddenly appeared.

It's just that I don't know why, and not half of the people came forward to ask.

At this time, Zhao Xu is probably the most critical candidate for accidents in the experiment.

After a few seconds of attention, the researcher below is busy again, busy on the tunnel device below.

"Coming back?" At this time, the voice of Antinoya's psychic connection came into Zhao Xu's mind.

"You guessed I'd be back?" Zhao Xu immediately asked.

Naturally, these people could not have stayed in this research place for two days in a row so coincidentally.

Zhao Xu guessed that there was something abnormal that would regather seventy or eighty percent of the observers.

Especially at this time, it was also Arthur's late night, and everyone should have fallen asleep.

For mages who need to rest to be able to recover the spell slots consumed, it is even more simple to implement the simple principle of going to bed early and getting up early

After hearing Zhao Xu's rhetorical question, Antinoya replied with a smile, "Just about two hours ago, they informed that a small part of the energy channel had been temporarily restored. So we rushed over to see what was going on. ”

Immediately afterwards, Antinoya also began to explain to Zhao Xu why he suddenly disappeared two days ago.

is basically the same as Zhao Xu's guess.

The only difference is that Antinoya explained to him more from the principle of spells, and also made Zhao Xu understand that the sudden disconnection was due to the "time regression talisman" on his body.

The "Time Travel Talisman" itself points not to Arthur's spells, but to a nine-ring "psychic ability".

However, there is no "psychic ability" in Arthur's world, and all psychic ability items, including the "inhibition skin" on the back of Zhao Xu's hand, are all products of other universes with psychic ability inheritance.

Naturally, Zhao Xu, who was wearing these two psychic ability items, invisibly let the energy channel be contaminated with the power of other universes, causing its stability to collapse.

"Originally, this matter-energy transmission channel had been used to prevent psychic abilities, but I didn't expect you to be wearing two psychic ability items, and one of them was particularly strong, so there was this omission. But this loophole has been closed, even if you're a telemancer now, you can still hold on. Antinoa explained.

"And you were able to enter Arthur's world in advance, naturally because of the special optimization made for you in order to patch this vulnerability. The current channel is actually in a semi-crippled state, and the official opening will still have to be restarted at ten o'clock tomorrow. And you came in early because of the optimization. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but squint at the eight Mithril panels, and actually made special optimizations for him?

Generally, this kind of teleportation channel itself has a self-protection mechanism, such as the player's mood swings too much, or some special means are used, the channel will automatically cut off the player's connection.

And Zhao Xu is now equivalent to gaining greater authority on the basis of the original, that is, he can be more "willful".

This kind of willfulness is also equivalent to leaving a back door for Zhao Xu to use this passage in the future.

"If you want to mess around, you'll have to tell me first." Antinoya looked at Zhao Xu's gaze staring at the Mithril panel, and immediately knew the other party's thoughts.

"Because if you act rashly on your own, you may really never come back." Antinoa said with a pun.

And Zhao Xu immediately understood what the other party meant.

That is, in the game, he is the possibility of relying on this passage to bring this power back and appear on Earth as a three-ring mage.

At that time, he will undoubtedly be able to run wild on Earth by relying on those three-ring spells, especially the spells of suggestion, seducing humans, transfiguration, and detecting thoughts.

However, he will not be able to return to Arthurie in the normal way of landing as a result.

Because at that time, he was still sleeping in the bed of the dormitory. And his soul is embodied as a three-ring mage projection, appearing on the earth.

It's similar to the legendary nine-ring spell "Astral Projection" that can be possessed by souls and doppelgangers to go out on adventures.

It's just that the mage who casts the "Astral Projection" can be lifted by himself, but Zhao Xu, who smuggled his projection through the channel, had to let the projection smuggle back. Otherwise, the suicidal soul will not be able to return to the Creation Temple.

"What are they still working on down there, Mentor?" Zhao Xu continued to ask.

"Study why the channel suddenly restarted two hours ago." Antinoya said casually, "It's just that suddenly there is a mysterious energy resonance between the two worlds, which directly makes the channel form a semi-connected state. Originally, the channel was already officially reopened, waiting for ten o'clock tomorrow morning. ”

"So let's come and find out what kind of force is influencing it."

Two hours.

It was also two hours ago that this situation occurred in the passage, which made Antinoya and the others come again.

However, Zhao Xu has an impression of this time.

It was the moment when Jung Shin-yoon recited the mantra of the prayer, causing the divine power in his body to vibrate.
