Chapter 50: Utter Lunatic
Consternation! Aghast! Hearing this, Ling Chuan had already sensed the true meaning of these dialogues!
This is the main story! And it's not an ordinary main line yet!
If the Divine Apocalypse events experienced now and in the future are the bright main lines of the Divine Apocalypse Continent, what Zhang Meng revealed at this moment is the hidden dark main line of the Divine Apocalypse Continent in the ancient era! It's about the gods and gods! It's about the ultimate artifact! It is also related to all the hidden stories related to ancient history! Even, it is the starting point for players to open ancient inheritance and explore the secrets!!
Listening with his ears and trying his best to ask for it, Ling Chuan opened the text as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and desperately recorded every word Zhang Meng said!
"Aware of this, I re-emerged from the idea of traveling to the mainland, because in this remote village, the limitations are too great to collect information."
"However, when I packed everything and planned to set off, an unknown force enveloped the village, and no matter how much I tried, I couldn't take a step out of the village!"
Forehead......
Ling Chuan in the record paused for a moment, and sighed with some emotion, he really wanted to tell Zhang Meng that the unknown force is called the main core of the system, which is the so-called supreme command, after all, the service is going to be opened, and the NPCs have to stand in their respective positions; No matter how smart Ren Zhang Meng is, he is just an NPC, and if you explain these things to him that are obviously forbidden by the program, you will definitely trigger the fool mode.
"I was disappointed, but strangely there was no resistance at all, just like the decision to revisit the mainland was an impulsive choice."
Well, that's a system fix.
"In this way, I chose to accept my fate, intending to guard this world for a lifetime, who knew that a year ago, when I re-rummaged through the village chief's bookcase, I found a fragment of a history book that fell on the inside of the bookshelf, and on that residual leaf, an event was recorded, and the disappeared person came again."
"The incident records that a certain human general who was involved in the long river of the Stygian River returned to the mainland, and due to the incomplete fragments, there was only this one sentence in content, but just this sentence made my silent heart turn up turbulent."
"The long river of the Stygian River is not an abyss of death, and those who fall into it will not necessarily disappear into the world, since this general can return to the mainland, does my brother have the same possibility?!"
Once this thought arises, it can no longer be erased, but unfortunately, I have not been able to break out of the shackles of that force by all means, so I can only wait here until ...... Your appearance. ”
Ling Chuan raised his head suddenly and did not speak.
"I am bound by your fate, and I feel the same fragment breath from you, and I am sure that you are the person I want to entrust, good brother! Can you accept my last commission? ”
[Ding] The system prompts that you have triggered the unique ultimate main quest [Emperor Hunter's Request], do you accept it?
The main line of uniqueness is the ultimate level, he guessed the result, but he didn't guess the quality, looked at this system prompt in a daze, and stopped for a long time in that title, Hunting Emperor...... Is this Zhang Meng's real title?
"Brother Xian! I know it's headstrong, but the only one I can count on is you. ”
"Brother Zhang has seen the outside, your help to me is as thick as a mountain, how can I refuse your request?"
Righteous words, Ling Chuan focused heavily on acceptance!
"Accept!"
[Ding] The system prompts that you have accepted the unique ultimate main quest [Entrusted by the Emperor], and the task has been changed to [Entrusted by the Emperor], please listen to Zhang Meng's request and choose whether to accept it.
"Virtuous brother!"
[Ding] system prompts, sensing that [Orion Zhang Meng] has broken through the limit of favorability towards you, congratulations on obtaining the extreme recognition of [Orion Zhang Meng] and obtaining the title of [Hunter Inheritor], which will be advanced to [Hunter Emperor] when your strength is enough.
Since you are the first player to win the title on the whole server, you will be rewarded with +5 Legends, +10 Gold, +2 Luck, and +1000 Fame.
Since you are the first player on the server to open the prestige system, you will be rewarded with +5 Legend of the World, +10 gold, and +2 luck.
……
Three system prompts in a row made Ling Chuan a little confused, the title system, the prestige system, these are all things that can only be opened after entering the main city in the previous life and completing the career transformation, but he achieved all of them at level 13.
"Brother Xian, I know that you will soon get out of this village, and I only have three entrusted with it, to find out the secrets of the long river of the Stygian, enter the ancient maze, and determine the life and death of my brother, regardless of time, only one result."
[Ding] The system prompts that the unique ultimate main quest [Hunter's Entrustment] has been informed, do you choose to accept it?
"Accept!"
[Ding] The system prompts that you have accepted the unique ultimate main quest [Emperor Hunter's Request], and when the time is ripe, enter the Ancient Mystery [???? ], crack the secrets of the Stygian River, confirm the life and death of the Emperor Hunter's brother, and complete the task, and you will receive the ultimate reward beyond imagination!! There is no time limit for this task, and there is no penalty for failure.
At this point, the task process is all over, and enlightenment and questions emerge at the same time.
What I realized was that the conditions for this task to be triggered were, first, to reach 100% favorability with Zhang Meng before triggering the task, and second, to have at least one Supreme Fragment in his hand.
From this, we can know the foreshadowing laid by the two designers; Why is Zhang Meng's character so mean and savage, and why does the Novice Village have an inherent method of obtaining the ultimate fragment Artemis. The answer is clear, because the former can intercept a large number of players from attacking him, and the latter can prepare trigger conditions for players who actually attack Zhang Meng.
Artemis would not be complete without the former, even if the latter was obtained; After all, no one would know that the largest piece of Artemis was in Zhang Meng's hands.
As for the doubt, it comes from the clue given by the Uniqueness Ultimate Storyline.
First, when the time comes, what conditions are considered to be ripe? Enough level? Or is it something else requested?
Second, although you are told to enter the Ancient Labyrinth, the name of the Labyrinth is four question marks, which can only indicate one thing, that the Labyrinth is not currently open, or that it is very random and needs to be combined with time factors, such as a certain activity, or a specific trigger.
Third, cracking the secret of the Stygian River, this is not a headless unsolved case, Zhang Meng has already given a hint before, the Ultimate Fragment can react with the water of the Stygian River, obviously, whether or not you can crack the secret of the Stygian River has a strong connection with the Ultimate Artifact. But Zhang Meng didn't mention the concept of the ultimate artifact from beginning to end, so if he didn't have a preliminary understanding of the ultimate artifact in his previous life, this question that was not a headless unsolved case would become a dead end on the road to the task of raiding.
To sum up: the guy who designed this quest is a complete lunatic, either he didn't want people to complete this quest at all, or the ultimate artifact is far more powerful than he predicted, and may even directly upset the balance of the game, which is why they designed the difficulty of the quest to be so perverted!
