Chapter 69: Exposing the Ugly Nature of the Game (1)
"Who are you, uncle?"
When the staff heard Lei Yang's words, his face seemed to have blended into the gloomy surroundings.
"Who's your name, uncle!?" The staff shouted to Lei Yang in a deep voice, thinking that this kid really didn't know what to do.
Lei Yang's eyes widened in confusion when he heard this: "There are only the two of us here, and of course I am not an uncle, so who else can I say besides you?" ”
Lei Yang had a puzzled expression on his face when he spoke, as if he was thinking about such a simple question, why did this person ask himself.
The "......" staff looked at the tattered teenager in front of him, a little speechless.
"You haven't answered my question yet!" Lei Yang suddenly found that he had been diverted from the topic by the other party, and hurriedly reminded.
"I'm the staff...... In addition," the staff member's face was very bad, and the eyes he stared at Lei Yang when he spoke were almost like he was about to eat people, "I am twenty-four years old this year. ”
"Huh!?" Lei Yang was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "But when I look at your face, Mr., no matter how you look at it, you look like a person in your forties......"
When Lei Yang spoke, the staff always looked at Lei Yang without saying a word, as if they wanted to eat the other party alive.
Lei Yang knew that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly covered his mouth.
……
"Demon Clan!? Miss Ruoya, are you serious!? Xu Ke, who was in the dark space, let out a surprised voice, as if he couldn't believe Lei Ruoya's judgment.
Lei Ruoya noticed that Xu Ke did not make a move to push his glasses when he asked this question.
The separate space of Act II is also a very strange place, where the adventurer can see himself and others in the darkness all around.
"I've been serious all along, and you've asked me so many times that this question hasn't come to a pattern?" Unlike Xu Ke, who was surprised, Lei Ruoya's expression was very calm: "The fact that the Demon Clan is actually the public enemy of the Azure Continent has been speculated and verified in many ways, and this judgment will never be wrong. ”
"So......" Xu Ke looked at the other party in disbelief, "Miss Ruoya, what is your reason for making this judgment?" ”
"If you want to say how you think about it, it's a long story. However, there is one evidence that is actually quite obvious......" Lei Ruoya paused when she said this, and looked at Xu Ke seriously, "The demon clan and those ordinary demonic beasts are completely different existences. ”
Xu Ke was stunned: "Miss Ruoya, what do you mean?" ”
Lei Ruoya looked at Xu Ke, who had obviously not reacted yet, and said to him slowly: "Teacher Xu Ke, think about it, judging from the conditions you know, the biggest difference between demons and ordinary demonic beasts is ...... Or rather, what is the most essential difference? ”
Xu Ke frowned and pondered for a while, then replied uncertainly: "...... Strength? Shape? Ability? ”
But before he could finish speaking, he shook his head and denied his opinion: "No, although demons are indeed different from demonic beasts in these aspects, these aspects cannot be called essential differences. ”
Speaking of this, he smiled a little helplessly: "Miss Ruoya, after all, I have actually only seen the demon Mammon, how can you directly ask me to answer such a question?" ”
"No, you can answer." Lei Ruoya shook her head, and the expression on her pretty face was very serious.
She said to Xu Ke slowly: "Think about it again...... What was the strangest thing you felt about when you killed Mammon? ”
"What did you think was the strangest thing about killing Mammon?" Xu Ke repeated the question, then closed his eyes and began to recall, "When you killed Mammon...... I think the weirdest thing ......"
Strange place...... Strange place......
The scene of killing Mammon played back in Xu Ke's mind like a movie clip-
The two-headed eagle of the human body transformed into countless identical illusions in the white space, and in his own vision it was as if there were thousands of mammons at the same time.
But he had already figured out where Mammon should be, so he took out the "Piercing Death Thorn Spear" and stabbed straight into the air in front of him......
Then Mammon's true body was pierced by a single shot as he had expected, and the illusion of the entire space suddenly dissipated in that instant......
Mammon's eyes widened as if she looked at herself in disbelief, black blood coming out of her chest and the corners of her mouth, which had been pierced by the tip of the spear.
This is the process of killing Mammon himself, and if there is anything strange to say in the whole process......
In fact, the very fact of "Mammon's death" makes itself very strange.
I don't know if I killed the other party at all, because Mammon is a demon general who is good at manipulating illusions, and it seems a little strange to be killed by herself so easily, and ......
Hey, speaking of which...... What I thought was the strangest thing at the time was......
Thinking of this, Xu Ke suddenly opened his eyes!
Many of the words that Lei Ruoya had said to him before, many words that he hadn't figured out before, suddenly became clear at this moment!
It was as if a beam of light had suddenly illuminated the darkness, and a feeling of excitement suddenly surged up from the depths of his heart. At this moment, Xu Ke's face showed excitement.
"I see." He lifted his glasses, tried his best to hide his inner emotions, and said to Lei Ruoya in a deep voice.
But Lei Ruoya could hear his voice trembling.
"It's experience points." Xu Ke looked at Lei Ruoya and said his conclusion.
She nodded at Xu Ke and motioned for the other party to continue.
"The normal demonic beasts of the Azure Continent, the weakest as the most ordinary slimes, and the dragons as strong as the top of the food chain, all the demonic beasts can rightfully gain the corresponding experience points after being killed. However...... under such a premise," Xu Ke said a large number of words in one breath, and did not have the slightest posture of wanting to pause, "killing demons does not have any experience points. ”
As he spoke, his eyes were as bright as if a light was shining from them, as if the light that illuminated the darkness inside him was about to shine on this completely lightless space.
"Killing demons doesn't have any experience points - this is very unreasonable, because it is normal to get experience points by fighting monsters in the game, even if it is a weak monster, there is no reason to kill it without the slightest experience reward, even in the regular online games in the outside world, you should get a very little experience points when you go to slaughter a first-level mob at level ninety-nine!
And I didn't kill any very weak mobs......
It's mammon! Mammon, one of the legendary Seven Demon Generals! Theoretically 'legendary' Mammon!
Under normal circumstances, a boss of this level, unless the Miracle Game is really an incredibly stupid game, it is impossible to set its kill experience value to 0!
But Mammon's experience for kills is really 0, and I didn't even get 1 XP after killing him - which seems to mean that Marvel Games is really a ridiculously stupid game.
But if you really want to say that this game is stupid, killing other monsters can still gain experience points normally - as far as it looks like for now, it seems that the adventurers of Belial City have not encountered the problem of killing monsters without experience points.
A really stupid game doesn't make a stupid game about this one thing alone, so it's not so much stupid as a game."
"It's better to say," Xu Ke gasped, his face slightly reddened. "The setting of the demon is very special, and it is completely different from ordinary monsters."
"You're quite right." Lei Ruoya applauded and gestured, "Demons are indeed completely different from other demonic beasts. ”
Xu Ke paused for a moment, then continued: "It's indeed an anomaly to kill a monster without getting the corresponding experience point reward, but if you think about it from another angle, it's also possible that the demon is actually not set to be a 'monster that kills and gets a reward' at all.
It's possible that the system specifically set up demons to be such a special thing, but I have other ideas besides this idea
I'm not sure for sure, but I'm guessing that we won't gain any XP for killing the natives we saw in Belial. ”.
Although Xu Ke's words were not finished, he still stopped his mouth when he said this, and turned to look at Lei Ruoya with an inquiring gaze.
"Hahaha! Wonderful! Wonderful! Lei Ruoya stroked her palms and laughed, "So far, Mr. Xu Ke, your conjecture is very close to mine—although it is indeed possible that the system has set the demon as a special existence, but the conjecture of you and me I think the possibility is still very high, and the reason why you kill and kill demons is that you have no experience."
It is because, in the setting of the game, 'demons' are born to belong to the aborigines of the Azure Continent like humans, elves, orcs, and dwarves!
They are not classified as 'Monsters', they are higher creatures on par with several intelligent races!
Or, like the natives, they are not low-level creatures for us to kill, but ......
More important game NPCs! ”
Lei Ruoya stopped laughing and blinked: "If you think about it according to this conjecture, you can think of a lot - you see, the demon clan is obviously the same existence as other races in the game's setting, so why is it difficult for us to hear about them in the continent?"
Since they are equal beings, it is impossible for other races not to discover their existence for so long, even if it is true that the demon race has almost no contact with the outside world, and has no contact with other races, it is absolutely impossible to have only a few words recorded like now.
You must know that even a few gods in real legends have been circulated on the mainland.
As a real race and obviously not weak, why are demons more like legendary beings than those gods!?
Taking 10,000 steps back, if the Azure Continent really had no records about them at all, it would be just that—maybe the entire race of this race was really squatting at home, and they didn't leave the house when they died of old age.
Why, then, are there some true and important records?
For example, the seven demon generals I found out about Hell and Styx, about the Lion Tiger and the Demon Clan, and the legend of the seven demon generals who represent the Seven Original Sins, although these are all learned from the mouth of that old scholar who is astonishing at the academic level, he is not a god, nor does he have the ability to make something out of nothing, and if he can know this, it means that the Demon Clan has some slight news circulating on the mainland.
These messages are not simple, and I don't believe that anyone would be able to make up such news without a deep understanding of the Demon Clan.
We have also verified the authenticity of these news, which proves that at least some people know the demon clan very well, since some people do, such news about the legendary race, even if it is only word of mouth between people, it will not be so little known. So, this thing is really contradictory -
Everything about demons is too little, a little bit thorough, but at the same time it is not completely absent, and there are still people on the mainland who know some extremely detailed clues.
Isn't it easy to make people feel ......
Are these things deliberately erased?
So the answer is actually quite obvious:
The fact that they exist is blocked by several other races on the continent. ”
