Chapter 54: The Boundary Abyss
"That's a long story." The Rich City Lord frowned, "As early as twenty or thirty years ago, the number of outsiders who appeared in the Cloud Continent began to gradually decrease. Until that night eighteen years ago, countless outsiders gathered in the city. ”
"I remember that night vividly." The city lord's wife interjected, "Except for decades ago, when outsiders first arrived, it would be very lively, almost crowded. The rest of the time, although there are many outsiders, the number is not very large. ”
"And there were so many people in the city that day that it set a new high." The rich city lord sighed, "I originally thought it was a reappearance of prosperity, but I never thought it would be a carnival that ended. ”
At this moment, a group of children ran out from the back of the palace. Several maids hurriedly chased after them, trying to stop the naughty children.
"Let them come." The city lord's wife greeted.
When the maid saw this, she did not stop her, but picked up the toys that the children had thrown on the ground and followed.
"Mom, what about outsiders?" A chubby kid ran up to the city lord's wife and asked.
"Fool, don't you see the three standing over there?" Another chubby little girl pointed at Han Leng and the others.
The fat child rushed to Han Leng's side with a happy face, and the other children also followed when they heard the sound.
"That's what the savior looks like?" The fat kid was a little disappointed.
"The Savior is also a man! What do you think they look like? Zheng Xiaoyi, who was standing behind Han Leng, couldn't help but tease.
"I thought it was the kind of person who wore shiny armor and was imposing." Fat kid's eyes full of little stars.
"Aren't you talking about the commander of the army?" The little girl shouted.
"Isn't that what happened? Take the spear and defeat the enemy! The fat kid pretended to be a gesture.
"Alright, you've seen the savior, now it's time for you to take your younger siblings and maid sisters back to study." The city lord's wife smiled and touched the fat child's head.
The fat kid was a little reluctant, but nodded anyway.
A group of children followed the maids.
"Xiaoxi, why don't you go back with your brothers and sisters?" The chubby city lord's wife asked.
"I'm not a kid anymore." The chubby little girl crossed her waist and shouted, "Don't treat me like a child. ”
"But you're just for children!" Zheng Xiaoyi couldn't help but tease again.
"Okay, do you know how to solve this question?" The fat girl Xiaoxi took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zheng Xiaoyi.
Zheng Xiaoyi took a look and found that it was some strange math problems, he thought it was not a difficult problem, but the more he looked at it, the more he didn't understand, and he only felt that there were stars in his eyes.
Xu Changchang took the piece of paper from his hand: "The proficiency bonus of the skill, the calculation of the damage value of the skill, the relationship between defense and damage reduction, ......"
Hearing Xu's long chatter, Han Leng also came over and found that it was actually some calculations and analyses of game values. He looked at the fat girl named Xiaoxi with some surprise: "This kid is so young that he can analyze such a profound question, what a genius!" “
Xu Changchang also agreed.
"I'm not a genius, I just learn a lot and know a lot." The girl shouted.
"Heroes of the outside world, listen to me." The city lord sighed again, "After the night passed, all the outsiders disappeared from the Cloud Continent without a trace. With that, he fell back into grief.
Team Interface:
Red and Black Horse Fork Worm: "Did he say that the game was suspended?" “
Orange Horse Fork Worm: "The smart person above is definitely not Zheng Xiaoyi I know." “
Red and Black Horse Fork Worm: "It seems that I can't be smart once or twice." “
"It should refer to the suspension of the game." “
Orange Horse Fork: "There is still such a huge amount of game data after the service is suspended, the key is that the game data is still running on its own, which is too much!" How much does it cost? “
Han Fei Leng: "Maybe the virtual game data is different from the computer game data, anyway, we don't know what this involves. “
The city lord's wife picked up the city lord's words: "Although I also regretted the disappearance of outsiders, life still has to pass. Unexpectedly, the departure of outsiders actually led to a series of disasters. The night is no longer safe, it will silently devour everyone who is not in the house. What's even more terrifying is because of the disappearance of outsiders, and all the monsters and monsters also disappeared overnight. Many of the materials and items that need to be obtained from the monsters have also been cut off......"
Han Leng and the three of them listened carefully and looked at the words from the eyes of gamers. It's the suspension of the game that causes no one to maintain the game, and if it's a monster, Han Leng feels that it has been transferred to a new game, and those NPCs that have disappeared should also be transferred. Does this mean that if you go out at night, you can go to other worlds?
But the City Lord's wife's next words disrupted Han Leng's conjecture: "Just after that, the Boundary Abyss appeared, and many of the missing people's belongings were found in the Boundary Abyss, and they must have been swallowed by the Abyss. As she spoke, the city lord's wife's chubby face showed a look of fear.
"Devoured? What is that? Han Leng asked, "And where are the so-called border abysses?" “
"To be devoured is to die." Said the girl named Xiaoxi.
The City Lord's Lady nodded slowly.
"As for the border abyss, it can be said that it is everywhere and nowhere to be found." The little girl continued.
"Little girl, why are you so smart?" Zheng Xiaoyi couldn't help but ask.
"She was blessed by the pig god." The city lord's wife touched the little girl's head and smiled, "Because the life span of our people on the cloud is very long, so the speed of people's growth is also unusually slow, like the little boy you just saw talking, it is my eldest son, in fact, he is almost a hundred years old. ”
"The blessing of the pig god?" Han Leng was puzzled.
"Well, it is precisely because of the blessing of the pig god that she can have an intelligence comparable to that of an adult." The city lord's wife smiled.
Han Leng could only nod, after all, the worldview setting of this game was originally a mythological background, so it was normal for something incredible to happen.
"What the hell is going on in the Boundary Abyss?" Han Leng asked.
"Xiaoxi, let's explain it to the heroes of the outside world." Seeing the little girl's eagerness, the city lord's wife had no choice but to laugh.
The little girl's face was so happy that she coughed twice and cleared her throat: "Then, let me explain it to you." You can use this boundary abyss as a hole in the world, and at present, only the monsters of the past can be found in the entire world. Therefore, the twelve main cities will also regularly send strong teams to those places where there is an abyss, and collect the necessary materials and items. But at the same time, it is also extremely dangerous, and if you miss it at all, you will never go back. Countless soldiers have been swallowed up by the abyss. “
"In that case, why send someone to take the risk? Is it just for some materials and items? Han Leng asked.
The little girl was stunned, shook her head and looked at the city lord's wife.
"It's not for materials and items." The city lord who was in a sad state relieved himself, "It's just because that's the only direction of investigation." “
