Chapter 67: Immortality and Imperity?
Looking at Luo Ji with a frightened face, Gao Su's expressionless face seemed to have a slight change, "That's right, in another world, our lifespan can be extended indefinitely, which is one of the main reasons why many players directly abandon reality and choose to live in another world." ”
Speaking of this, Gao Su's words turned slightly, "Of course, this is not gratuitous, the extension of life expectancy comes at a cost, 10,000 civilization points a year can make your age directly frozen in the peak period, very cheap, isn't it?" ”
Hearing Gao Su's last question, the horror on Luo Ji's face subsided slightly, and he vaguely felt that this matter was not so simple, "So, where is the point?" ”
"The point is a misunderstanding, what is the first word that comes to mind when you hear the phrase that life can be extended indefinitely?"
"Immortality?" Luo Ji tentatively spoke.
"It's immortality, but it's not immortality." Gao Su explained seriously.
Luo Ji reacted quickly, and the moment he heard this, a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes, "That is to say, even if you extend your lifespan by a hundred years, if I stab you in the heart, you still have to die when you deserve to die, right?" ”
"Yes, that's it." Gao Su nodded as his eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction.
And after learning of this actual situation, Luo Ji's mood can be regarded as completely calming down, immortality, immortality, but not immortality, Gao Su's sentence is very appropriate, but in this way, the temptation to prolong life is obviously directly reduced by a large margin.
It can't be said that there is no temptation, it can only be said that the expectations were too high at the beginning, but it turned out that it was not like that at all, which was inevitably disappointing, plus Luo Ji himself was still young, and he had not yet reached the age where he needed to worry about his natural lifespan, so the temptation was naturally even less.
"According to what you say, can a life-sustaining method like this also be used by the children of my civilization?"
In the face of Luo Ji's speculation, Gao Su affirmed, "That's right, after all, talents with excellent talent and potential are not everywhere. ”
"But in this way, with the development of civilization, the later it is, the more people who need to continue their lives, and the price of 10,000 civilization points for a year doesn't sound so cheap, not to mention that places like development projects also have to consume civilization points, if you are not careful, it will be easy to collapse in the later stage, right?"
"Yes, so sometimes in order to avoid a later collapse due to the huge consumption of civilization points, each player has to make appropriate trade-offs, or go crazy to start wars and plunder the civilization points of other players, after all, the winner of every war can take half of the points of the loser."
"Isn't there a more one-and-done way besides these two?" Luo Ji frowned and asked, the two methods that Gao Su said are not the best for him, just take the first one as an example, two five-star upper limit characters are placed in front of you, let you choose one and give up the other? No matter which one you give up, you will die of pain! The second way to wage war to earn civilization points is too unstable.
"There are ways to do it once and for all, and there are only two I can think of." As he spoke, Gao Su also raised two fingers and gestured with him.
This really surprised Luo Ji, but he instinctively felt that these two methods were definitely not so easy, "Let's hear it." ”
"The first way is to become some special civilization, and when I gave an example before, I mentioned a 'mechanical civilization', right?
Luo Ji's eyelids jumped when he heard this, he seemed to have imagined something......
"That mechanical civilization is not something I casually talk about, it is an extremely powerful civilization in the game, that player has transferred the consciousness of all the people in his civilization to the mechanical body, and as a price, the people of his entire civilization have completed a certain degree of immortality, theoretically speaking, as long as the energy source is not depleted, and the mechanical core that carries the consciousness body is not damaged, they are immortal."
His prediction was verified, and Luo Ji exhaled a long breath, "I always feel that the price is not small." ”
"That's right, it's not a small price." Gao Su nodded, "Because the people of the entire civilization have become mechanical life, therefore, they have completely lost their fertility, the population has stopped growing, and they can only increase the population of their own civilization by plundering the population of other civilizations, in addition, it seems that even the senses such as smell and taste are gone, strictly speaking, they can no longer be regarded as human beings, but it cannot be denied that from the perspective of combat effectiveness, they are very strong, and they are the existence of a hegemon." ”
"This method is too difficult, I don't even have a treasure chest now, let alone a fragment of the world, and, even if I really have that opportunity, it is difficult for me to make up my mind, the whole person has become a machine, so what is the meaning of living? Let's talk about the second method. ”
"The second way is to use gold-level items, elixirs." When he said the name 'Elixir of Life', Gao Su's tone slowed down significantly.
"Gold-level props......" Luo Ji stretched out his hand to cover his face, "This should be the highest-level prop, right?" ”
"The level is above the gold level, there are only world fragments, however, although the elixir is gold, but the value is actually more subtle, and there are often players who open it will throw the elixir to the auction house for auction because of the number of shortcomings, I remember just auctioning one some time ago."
"And that kind of thing?" Luo Ji was a little surprised.
"Again, it's immortality, but it's not immortality."
"I see." Luo Ji suddenly realized, "How much did the elixir cost?" ”
"3,790,000 Civilization Points"
"Shhh
Spending civilization points to continue life for a hundred years consumes only one million, but an elixir costs nearly four million civilization points, and it still has to be taken out at one time, what if you eat the elixir that person has lived for decades, and then suddenly contracted the plague, or hung up on the battlefield? Wouldn't that be a loss of money? Rather than this, it is better to sell it for money, make a lot of money first, and then see you again when you really need to continue your life.
This matter really can't be said to be short-sighted by the people who take out the 'elixir of life' to sell, but this effect is indeed subtle, especially for those fierce general-type characters who often need to go to the battlefield, and it is still the safest to continue life year after year.
