Chapter 410: Why Does the Heroic Trial Exist?
Uroboros!
This name is what Gu Moli has been looking for so far, but he has not been able to find it, and he even suspects that it may be the existence of the final boss of the main script!
But now, such a mysterious god character appeared in front of him!
Without warning!
Although Gu Moli was already suspicious when he heard Mr. Wu's self-claim before, he still didn't expect that he would actually see this Mr. Wu, so thinking about it, the huge snake head he saw when he opened the door for the first time might be the real body of Ulopolos!
"Don't be so reserved, come and sit."
"It's actually the same as the game space, it's a script that I created specifically, and by the way, it's called 'Coffee with Uroboros.'"
Dressed in a black suit and looking like a human youth, Uloporos waved at Gu Moli and winked at him mischievously.
“..... Hello. ”
Gu Moli pondered for a while, and could only say these two words, and then steadily moved forward and sat opposite Uroboros. Although the other party's attitude was very approachable, Gu Moli would not forget the hideous snake head he had just seen, and the other party's position was really difficult to judge.
And at the same time that Gu Moli was thinking, Ulopolos was also looking at him.
"I'm looking for you this time."
“.... Looking for me? ”
"That's right."
Uloporos nodded: "You should also guess, I can't appear in the real world, and it's not convenient to directly interfere with players, so if I want to meet you, I must have a suitable medium, so I borrowed a little bit of Caijin's legacy." ”
"Legacy?"
"Yes." Uroboros continued, "Originally, after scanning the QR code on the map with the Hero Trials app, you would have been prompted to clear the level, but because I did a little tricking, you were teleported to this game space. ”
“.... What is your purpose? ”
"Guess?"
I saw Ulopolos suddenly laugh, and then swiped with one hand, and then Gu Moli found that a line of messages popped up on the game panel on his right:
[Heroic Trial: Try to guess the purpose of Uroboros]
Gu Mo twitched slightly from the corner of his eyes: "This is....?" ”
"Don't get me wrong, didn't I say it before, as long as you can find the treasure hidden in the Titanicol, you can get a monetary reward or a legendary card. However, due to the regulations, I can't give you a card unconditionally, so it is necessary to set the corresponding conditions for clearing the game. ”
"You have also seen the conditions, as long as you guess, whether you guess right or wrong, in the end you will achieve this condition, and it will be regarded as a process."
"........." Gu Moli's eyes narrowed slightly, and then said, "Okay, I guess you are bored, so you specially came to urge me to play games." ”
"You guessed it."
"I guessed wrong..... You guessed it!? ”
Gu Moli almost jumped up directly from the chair.
"I guessed it." Uroboros emphasized again: "I did come to urge you to play the game, but on the other hand, it was also because there was a lack of time. ”
“.... Short on time? ”
"The open beta is about to begin."
Uroboros Donkey said another thing to the horse's mouth, and then changed his words: "Before the open beta starts, I hope you can officially clear the entire main story, although it is only my personal expectation, but on the other hand, if you can do it, it will also be good for you." ”
"Open beta.... Main Storybook ....."
What is the connection between the two? Gu Mo's eyes rolled slightly: "What does the open beta mean, will this game be open to everyone by then?" ”
"Yes."
Uroboros nodded: "And when the time comes, the kryptonite system will be deleted, and players will be able to break through the game completely by their own strength, and the competition between players will be more fierce at that time, on the other hand, those imprisoned old gods will also be unsealed one after another." ”
"The Old Gods?" Gu Moli tilted his head in confusion.
But Uroboros naturally continued: "Aurora, Vidal, Ngura, haven't you seen the old gods? ”
"So.... Mr. Wu, are you a new god? ”
"No, no, no."
Uroboros shook his head: "I am an outer god, although the old gods call me a new god, but in fact, there is no new god in the real sense of your world, in fact, it can be seen, if there is a new god, the lord of the earth will not be human." ”
"There are no new gods..... Outer Gods....? But your name..."
"I borrowed it."
Uroboros said casually: "The original owner of this name is a kind man, I just said it casually, and it lent me this name." ”
Gu Moli's eyes jumped when he heard this: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of the old god who lent you this name.... How's it going? ”
"Oh he."
Uloporos opened his mouth and showed a mouthful of clean white teeth, which was obviously a funny smile, but it made Gu Moli see the fierceness that was deeply hidden.
"He's alive, well, alive."
“........”
Intuition told Gu Moli that he should not continue to ask about this part of the content, so Gu Moli immediately changed the topic and said: "Okay, I don't care whether it is the new god or the old god, Mr. Wu, you will see me this time, it won't really just let me hurry up and play games." ”
"That's all there is to it."
"What about the others? With such a big gathering of players, so many players, you just talk to me? ”
Gu Moli is very clear about his positioning, although he has always called himself the protagonist, but he is only his own protagonist, he is not the protagonist of the world, and the world does not need any protagonist, there is no such thing as pie in the sky, and there must be fraud in paying attention for no reason.
"Why are you eyeing me?"
"Because of Li Caijin."
“.... Huh? ”
An unexpected name made Gu Moli's eyes widen.
"Don't be so surprised, even I have friends." Uroboros raised his eyebrows: "Caijin is one of my few friends, he specially mentioned you to me before he died, and I don't happen to be a good player, so I took care of you a few times." ”
"And it turns out that Caijin's vision is as good as ever."
Ulopolos looked at Gu Moli quietly, and said in a deep voice: "So far, among all the players who have joined my main story, you and the other one who have gone the farthest, but unfortunately the other one has other people who take a fancy to it, plus there is a relationship with wealth, so I naturally picked you." ”
"The other one..... Li Shaohua? ”
Gu Moli didn't call her confidant's hard-to-find ID, but directly called out her real name, of course, if the confidant was difficult to find herself, he would definitely not say that.
"That's the name."
Uloporos nodded: "It's the master of the fairy tale kingdom who likes her, and I like you, in fact, those who can become alien players are basically favored by people behind them, and a team like you, which is three alien players, is very advantageous in the game." ”
"Three.... Hua Qiong was also favored by an outer god? ”
"That's right."
Uroboros didn't mean to hide it: "It's the owner of El Dorado who takes a fancy to her, and the recommender is Astalous, you should have an impression of him, right?" ”
"Astalous.... I remember, Hogwarts script ......"
Gu Moli did have an impression.
The first time she encountered a special NPC with independent consciousness was to arrange a script with Hua Qiong, in that script, they came to a place disguised as Hogwarts, and then after Gu Moli revealed the truth of the script, an NPC named Astaru appeared.
Is he Hua Qiong's sponsor?
The master of El Dorado?
Gu Mo's name quickly flashed in his heart, as for the one who took a fancy to his confidant and was hard to find, he already knew who it was, he should be the mastermind behind the fairy tale kingdom, so looking at almost every script he had experienced, there was indeed a god-level NPC behind it.
"So you're talking to me right now, and they're talking to the outer gods who fancy them?"
"That's right."
Uroboros nodded, then took another sip of coffee before continuing: "Almost, this time I just met with you, and then urged you by the way, and strive to clear the entire main story before the open beta opens, it's almost time to go, is there anything else you want to ask?" ”
“..... If I ask, you'll answer me? ”
"Depends on what you're asking."
Uroboros smiled and said, "In fact, as one of the very few outlier players, people like you are very favored on our side. ”
Gu Moli blinked and said bluntly:
"Why is this game there?"
Straight to the point, without any tactful questioning, the core question is asked.
A game that allows people to experience real time-travel, endless scripts, and gods who seem to be real but can't interfere with reality.
Why is there such a game?
What does the mastermind want to do?
As soon as Gu Moli's words fell, he immediately stared at Ulopolos, not letting go of any detail, but Ulopolos smiled freely:
"That's about your archon."
“.... You don't know? ”
"Yes." Uroboros said casually; "But it's not a very deep reason, and there's no conspiracy, if anything, it's that your consul wants humanity to develop a little faster, and not to stand still as it is."
“.... Humanity is stagnant? ”
"Isn't it?"
Uroboros put down his coffee cup and chuckled: "Since the first industrial revolution, human science and technology have been in a stage of continuous explosion, from the agricultural age to the industrial age, from the industrial age to the electric age, from the electric age to the current information age, the time required is getting shorter and shorter. ”
"Indeed, the development of mankind in the past 100 years has been very rapid."
"But it is undeniable that the basic theory of humanity has stagnated."
"Accumulation has been so far, what should have erupted has actually exploded, and human beings need to usher in a longer period of accumulation."
"How long is that? The breakthrough of basic theories requires not only the succession of generations of scholars, but also the flash of inspiration of a genius scholar to a certain extent, which is not so simple, and what is needed may be a hundred years, maybe hundreds of years. ”
"Although this point in time doesn't seem like much to me."
"But it's clear that"
"Byron, he can't stand it."
Gu Moli naturally understood when he heard this, and the Byron in the mouth of Uloporos was Byron Paladin, the first consul of the current world government.
“.... So this game is the way he found it? Extraordinary power descending on Earth? Reiki revival? All mankind does not take science and technology to cultivate immortals? ”
"That's just incidental."
Uroboros touched his chin: "To put it bluntly, in Byron's view, the decline of human beings in the past hundred years has a lot to do with the current state of earth society, and he believes that in the final analysis, human beings are not united, and they do not really look at the vast starry sky." ”
"So he decided to give humanity that motivation."
“... Impetus? ”
"You've seen all the worlds in the game, I can say that at least most of the scripts come from a real world, and these worlds are under the control of the [Aether Sea], that is to say, those worlds are real aliens to the humans of the earth."
"You know what that means?"
"This means,"
"Human beings are not alone in this universe."
Uroboros said word by word: "For the current human race, the exploration of outer space is certainly beneficial, but it is also very costly, and the talent of human beings in internal fighting is far higher than that in development, although development is still continuing, but it is too long." ”
"What Byron has to do is completely shorten that time."
"Let humanity focus entirely on development."
"And the Hero Trial is just such a prop."
Uloporos's explanation made Gu Mo gradually form a complete structure, and he felt that he might vaguely understand Byron's thoughts.
"After the open beta of the Hero's Trial, the whole world will know that they are not the only race in the universe, but this is not enough, humanity also needs an enemy, an enemy that can make them vigilant, human beings are a very contradictory race, in the absence of external enemies they will continue to fight inwardly, but in the face of external enemies, they are unprecedentedly united, and this external enemy, Byron is also ready for you....."
"Old Gods!" Gu Moli said the answer in advance.
"Correct."
Uroboros snapped his fingers: "The existence of foreign enemies and other planetary civilizations, coupled with the coordination of the world government, it is very likely that mankind will truly reach a model of cooperation, and the players of the Heroic Trial as superpowers, their power will greatly liberate the productive forces and provide a suitable social environment for the progress of mankind, but at the same time, their own limitations will not allow them to initiate turmoil." ”
"On the basis of a suitable social environment, the pressure and persecution of foreign enemies, and the concerted efforts of all mankind, human civilization will surely usher in the take-off after a hundred years of stagnation."
“.... Too idealistic. ”
Gu Moli shook his head.
Regardless of the Heroic Trial, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it now, but in fact, it is entirely because it is mainly concentrated on a small number of people, and there is pressure from the World Government, once this extraordinary game is extended to all of humanity, no one can predict what will happen.
Accelerating the incubation of human civilization?
Towards the stars?
A carelessness, let alone a step towards the stars, may even become the fuse of war in turn, completely pushing human civilization into the abyss.
"Byron was an idealist." Uroboros nodded: "And in fact, this is just a rough inference I made based on a series of his actions, although it may be eight or nine or ten, but it may also be a thousand miles away, but who calls him the World Archon?" ”
"How?"
Uroboros suddenly smiled evilly, "Are you going to stop him?" Humans won't be at your mercy! The path of humanity is determined by humanity itself! I listen to lines like this quite emotionally, if you want to stop him, I'd love to watch the show..."
"Stop him?"
Gu Moli looked strange, and he pondered for a while before slowly shaking his head: "Pull it down, the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, I am a common person, what does it matter to me." ”
"Tsk." Uloporos smacked his lips: "It's a pity, okay, I've already answered your question, you can leave, and also, I'll send the legendary cards to your backpack after you leave this script, and you can remember to check them yourself when the time comes...."
"Wait, who told you I want a legendary card?"
Gu Moli looked indifferent, and stretched out his hand to Ulopolos: "I don't have a shortage of legendary cards for a while, what am I doing here for cards?" ”
"I'm here for the money!"
"Don't try to fool around with any cards!"
"Give the money quickly!"
Uroboros: ".........."
