In the gloomy sky, several huge ships faded away with a low roar; Under the smoke and dust, there were muddy blue-bronze swamps; In the desolate environment, there are mountains of dilapidated garbage......

When Victor uses fireball magic to blast open the entrance to the closed passage and walk onto the ground, the above scene comes into view. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Drop! The radiation in the environment is too high, and the host is advised not to stay there for too long. ”

As soon as the idea flashed through Victor's mind, this was the way the "Scepter of Truth" was prompted after regularization, gamification, and data.

“…… Is this the Vorsted continent in 30,000 years? ”

Looking at the huge spaceship in the sky, Victor was a little stunned.

At this moment, an inaudible grinding sound reached Victor's ears.

Following the prestige, a young man wearing leather outdoor clothes and goggles appeared in Victor's sight.

"Hello ......"

Just as Victor opened his mouth to say hello, the young man in front of him turned around and ran, shouting loudly, "I didn't see anything!" I don't know anything! ”

"Activate the ropes."

A rope made of magic appeared out of thin air by the boy's side, tying him up.

Although he didn't know why the boy was so afraid of him, Victor, who was anxious to figure out the current situation, had to cast a spell to control it.

"Uh, hello!"

Victor walked unhurriedly to the young man who was fixed in place by the activated rope and bowed his head.

"Master Mage, please raise your noble hand and let me go!"

There was a hint of fear in the boy's eyes, and he explained incoherently, "I'm just a scavenger and don't understand anything...... I can swear to God, today I don't see anything, and I have never met you......"

Victor, who couldn't cry or laugh, comforted him again and again, which made the frightened teenager shake down to normal.

"I ...... I thought you were one of those evil black mages......"

Looking at the sky, Jody said crampedly: "It's not too early, the copper swamp will be more dangerous at night...... If you don't like it, you can come to my house and stay overnight. ”

……

After three magical moments, night fell.

In a low-cost house on the west side of the town, in the light-and-place town of Moshali, near the No. 81 Special Waste Treatment Base, Victor and Jody, a scavenger boy, sit face-to-face at a shabby dining table.

"So, it's my fault today...... Victor said apologetically, "I'm sorry! Let Jody get you nothing......"

"Ahh It's nothing! It's all normal, and I've often had similar situations before. ”

Jody blushed, and when he faced a mage, he replied, "It's better than nothing...... It's already my greatest luck to survive safely! ”

Seeing Victor's kind face, Jodi, who was full of courage, asked curiously, "Lord Victor, are you a hermit among mages?" ”

"Huh? Hermits? Well, sort of......" Victor replied vaguely.

Jody, who had been in close contact with the caster for the first time, was so excited that he didn't pay any attention to Victor's simple answer, which seemed to him to be normal.

"Victor-sama, look...... I'm so shabby here, can you get used to it? Why don't I take you to the hotel? It's not much better, but it's much better than mine......"

"Lord Victor, do you need food?"

"Lord Victor, can you live with the Pastor?"

"Lord Victor, do you think I have what it takes to become a mage?"

"Lord Victor, you ......"

“……”

After getting acquainted with each other, the boy completely let down his guard and exchanged pleasantries with Victor. In questioning, consciously or unconsciously, Victor gets a lot of useful information from Jody's mouth.

In today's highly developed mage civilization, the classification of social classes is inevitable, and this can be fully manifested in the living environment, that is, the division of regions. For example, if a person wants to have a corner of the land in a beautiful environment, then he needs the necessary assets and the corresponding status.

Over the course of tens of millions of years, the prosperity of the upper class and the filth of the bottom have formed a clear zone, and "waste pickers" like Jody are undoubtedly the lowest class of society.

If you want to get rid of the shackles of the bottom society, it will take at least a few generations, or even a dozen generations, to work hard, and if there is a problem in one generation in the process, all the struggle will be wasted...... And this is the cruel reality of the current society.

Although the young Jody is still very young, his social experience is very rich in life and death. For him, meeting Victor and meeting a hermit among mages was a rare opportunity, an opportunity to break away from the bottom of society.

In the darkness and yearning for the light, Jody naturally will not easily let go of this light of hope, and under his stubborn fighting, Victor, who needs a "follower", agrees with a dispensable attitude after repeated measurements.

In the middle of the night, Jody, full of hope for the future, falls asleep, while Victor uses this time to take a closer look at his condition.

Looking at the ornate coat of arms of the "Scepter of Truth" on his left wrist, Victor closed his eyes slightly, and his consciousness dived into deep meditation.

Although he knew from memory that his body had been completely regularized by the "Scepter of Truth", Victor, who was in a hurry to leave the underground ruins, did not take the time to get to know it in depth, and this time after Victor entered a meditative state, he first had to completely dispel his doubts in this regard.

After two magical moments, Victor finally has a rough grasp of his current situation through the so-called "game mode".

"Regularization" and "game mode" are, to put it bluntly, "data-based".

According to the Pythagoreans' idea that "everything is numbered", the entire universe and all the dimensional rules can be expressed in terms of a harmonious system of numbers and their relations. In this way, it is easy to understand that "rules" and "game modes" are described as "data-based".

However, it should be noted that although this kind of "regularization" is very similar to the "data talent" that Victor once had, the two are fundamentally different. "Digitized talents" can only be applied under the same or similar dimensional rule system, while "regularization" applies to all planes separated from the branches of the "World Tree", even the endless "Sea of Nothingness".

Specifically, "regularization" is not only reflected in Victor's physical fitness, but also in the various magical items he has and the various spells he masters.

For example, in "Game Mode", all of Victor's spells and supermagic skills can be displayed in the form of "icons". When attacking, Victor only needs to use "Perception" to lock on to the enemy, and click on the "icon" with his mind to complete the combination and casting of spells and supermagic skills.

When Victor learned this information, he was first delighted, then frowned. While providing convenience and enhancing strength, "regularization" has also brought irresistible "shackles".

For example, before the "regularization", if Victor wanted to increase his mage level, he only needed to improve his mental power through meditation, make it reach the advanced standard, and then build an advanced spell model. However, after the "regularization", if Victor wants to increase his mage level, he must have all the necessary conditions listed in the "Game Mode", otherwise, he will never be able to advance.

In addition, there are many more details about "rules" and "game modes", which need to be mastered by Victor slowly in the future.
