Chapter 063: The Vanishing Empire
A strikingly similar image came to my mind, yes, it was him!
He also has water beads, and he can do that!
The only thing I'm not sure about is that when he found the chest, it was already empty or he had already taken the treasure inside, and then mischievously squeezed out the water inside the chest and half-buried it in the sand.
Then this item is a bit related to the mission!
I TM took a lot of effort to pull out the box and put it in the backpack, but the task didn't prompt, and it doesn't seem to be!
I have to keep looking, but my passion has been ignited, which means that I am looking in the right direction!
The old chief's son had indeed been here before, so there would certainly be more clues about him found in the vicinity.
So I actively searched the neighborhood, and this walk was a long distance, and finally I found a small box like a music box stuck in the middle of a pile of coral.
System Announcement: The server will be under maintenance in 10 minutes, please be ready to go offline in time! Avoid unnecessary property damage!
It's twelve o'clock so soon?
Before you know it, I've been soaking at the bottom of the ocean for more than two hours?
Time flies.
When I got the little wooden box, it was prompted: Mission completed!
It seems that this wooden box is right.
I excitedly put the wooden box in my backpack and hurriedly used it to return to the city, and then rushed to No. 1098 Novice Village, where I couldn't wait to hand over the wooden box to the old village chief.
When the quest is completed, in addition to the experience and credits rewarded by the quest, there is also an increase in friendship. The ID of the old village chief became "Village Chief Xiang Lao Bo".
The old village chief stroked the small wooden box with trembling hands, and said affectionately: "Son, you are finally back!" ”
Then I saw him gently push open the lid on the wooden box, no wonder I couldn't open it just now, it turned out to be pushed!
Just as he pushed open the wooden box, he saw a bright white light fly out in the middle of the box, and landed in front of the old man to form a heroic young man, and called softly: "Father......"
The old man was suddenly stunned and looked at the young man in front of him with a blank light, "...... Rain? Tremblingly, he reached out to touch his son, but the hand passed through the white light.
The old man's son knelt down with tears in his face and cried, "Father, please forgive the child's unfilial piety!" I can't serve your left and right! ”
The old man was also excited with tears in his eyes, knowing that his child was not an entity, but he still put his hand on his child's head tremblingly, trembling as if he could touch it, "You're back!" You're finally back! ”
"Father, I'm dead! On the way back......" Xiang Yu said in a low voice.
Uncle Xiang's hand suddenly stopped, and his eyes contracted, "What?" You? On the way back? ”
Xiang Yu nodded and said, "Yes!" Father, I found it! Found our hometown! ”
Uncle Xiang's trembling hands could no longer stop grabbing Xiang Yu's body excitedly, he was so excited that he forgot that Xiang Yu in front of him was just a phantom and not an entity.
"Y-You really found it?" Uncle Xiang asked excitedly.
Xiang Yu stood up, excitedly stretched out his hand to support the old man's body and said, "Yes, father!" I met the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, and I met General Meng, who sent an army to escort me back! However, we were attacked on the way, and all the soldiers who escorted me were buried at the bottom of the sea! ”
Even I, who was on the sidelines, was shocked.
How? Isn't this a Western-themed game? Why did the Great Qin Empire, which represented our Chinese power, still appear? Why are all of our Chinese players not in the Great Qin Empire, but in this exotic city-state that looks like a Western country?
W-What's going on?
"Well, is that your majesty okay?" The old man asked excitedly.
Xiang Yu's face turned into sadness with excitement, and he shook his head in a deep groan and said, "It's not good! Very bad! ”
Uncle Xiang was shocked: "What's the matter, what happened?" ”
Xiang Yu said with a gloomy face: "The first emperor has died, the young emperor has nothing to do, the power of the court is controlled by Zhao Gao, and the people are not happy. There are traitors in charge inside, and barbarian invasions outside, and the current Great Qin Empire is already in the twilight of the West Mountain, a corner of peace, and it is no longer the powerful empire in my father's mouth! ”
"How so?" Uncle Xiang exclaimed in horror, "Back then, when Lord Xu took us to sea, the Great Qin Empire was powerful and powerful, but in just a few decades, there were such variables!" What about the thousands of people of Daqin? ”
Xiang Yu stood up, turned to look at me, then looked back at his old father and said: "Home is not a home, the country is not a country, my thousands of people in Daqin can only send people under the fence now, and the four seas are home!" ”
I couldn't help but shake a little, could it be that we were talking about us?
Is this a coincidence?
The era of "Vertical and Horizontal" is based on the Great Qin Empire, and in the final national war, players in China repeatedly surrendered their cities, fell, and retreated, and finally even the defense of the imperial capital failed.
In the era of "Zongheng", there was no country in China that could be among the nations of the world, "home is not home, country is not country!" ”
This is the cruelest and most realistic portrayal of the previous work!
So, at the beginning of "Under Heaven", didn't our players in China have our own country? You can only send people to live in a foreign city-state.
This, what a sarcasm and insult!
Skymarks! You're so ruthless! Do you want to inspire thousands of Chinese players to rise to prominence?
I remember that when the inner version of the game "Under Heaven" was just released, it was bombarded and criticized by domestic players because there was no country belonging to our Chinese civilization within the world map, and even caused large-scale demonstrations and boycotts for a time.
At that time, Mr. Da Qin, who was the highest decision-maker of Tianji Company, attended the first press conference of the announcement of the launch of "Tianxia" under great pressure in the face of public opinion and player bombardment, and the white-haired old man appeared in front of the public media for the first time with the support of nursing. ”
Those reporters who have a conscience and know how to reflect are silent, because Mr. Daqin's sentence, in China, "Tianxia" does not need publicity, no advertising, and no explanation.
Those who had experienced the defense of the Imperial Capital silently left the game square in front of the Skymark Headquarters.
Protests, demonstrations, boycotts, and condemnations will not solve any problems!
If you want to live with dignity, there is only one way:
Enter the game, pick up the sword, and kill back!
