Chapter 25: Relics
As consciousness gradually returns, the darkness surrounding him and the sound of thunderous snoring make Riel instantly realize that he has re-entered the game world.
As Riel thinks, it seems that entering the game world does not require the use of external objects such as instruments, but rather like installing some kind of program in the brain, and reaching a fixed condition will trigger a consciousness shift, switching between the game and the real world.
At this moment, although Rare has just fallen asleep in the real world, he does not feel any sleepiness in the game world, but is as energetic as if he has experienced a good rest.
Apparently, the in-game body does go to full sleep after Riel returns to the real world.
The magic of this space of consciousness is far beyond the scope of Ariel's cognition.
According to the sensitivity of his body's biological clock, Riel sensed that the time he woke up in the game world was also around 4 o'clock.
"Incredible technological ......"
Riel speculated that there should be a time-varying node in the game, which would increase the in-game time flow rate when the player fell asleep in reality, and slow down in-game time flow when the player fell asleep in the game.
This is the perfect balance between the overall time ratio of the game and reality to still be one-to-one, but it allows players to experience as much of the game as possible without delaying their daily lives.
As for the timing and proportion of speed change, more players' game information is needed to calculate.
With the mindset of giving it a try, Riel shook Sledgehammer's body vigorously in an attempt to wake him up.
However, Sledgehammer slept like a dead cow and did not react at all.
However, Riel did not give up, and he used his [expression] ability to shout at Sledgehammer.
"Sledgehammer Wake up, it's time to get up and work!"
"Hah
With an incomparably powerful yawn, Sledgehammer stretched his waist and shouted sleepily as he looked at Riel with a lantern on the side.
"Uh, Ryle, has the game started? How do you feel like it's so early today......"
"Do you remember what time you went to bed in reality?"
"Uh...... It's nine o'clock. ”
Rare's eyes moved slightly, so it seems that the other party should have entered the game earlier than himself, but the time to wake up in the game seems to be different from the time he entered the game.
Players may actually sleep for a period of time in the game, and then wake up naturally, which may be related to everyone's physical habits.
[In this case, it is difficult to know the exact point of the time flow rate change, but anyway, it is between 12 o'clock and 4 o'clock, so it should be no problem to work and rest on time.] ]
After the sledgehammer rose a little sleepy, he quickly picked up a pickaxe and began a hard day's work, turning into a ruthless digging machine, transporting pickaxes into the wind to dig tunnels.
The road to digging for ascension is bumpy and boring, but fortunately, the experience of the past three months is almost no different from the present, the only difference is that the previous work is constantly digging downward, and the current work is constantly upward.
More than ten hours after the excavation continued, the pickaxe of the sledgehammer suddenly splashed sparks.
Something so hard that it stood in his way like an excavator.
"Huh? I look like I've dug up relics! ”
Sledgehammer let out a cry of excitement, and the bull's eyes glared at the boss, staring at the hard object dug up in front of him.
Looking at the flattened strip of metal in front of him, Rare came to a conclusion like a treasure connoisseur.
"It could be a chainsaw sword."
"Huh? It's not a cultural relic......"
Fu Da Hammer's eyes were a little disappointed, he still remembered that he had dug up a cultural relic at the construction site, and after handing it over to the state, he was rewarded with 500 yuan and a pennant by the government of Tianlong Kingdom.
It was one of the few highlights of his life.
Although he was fired the next day by the owner of the construction site who received the news, he still felt that he had done a very honorable deed.
Cleaning the metal from the stone chips, Riel thought.
"It should be okay to say that it is a cultural relic, the civilization era of this thing should be quite old in the game, judging from the depth of the rock formation, it may be a relic of the ancient version."
Hearing this, Sledgehammer nodded with admiration.
"Oh - you're still an archaeologist, you're amazing......"
Focusing all his attention on the metalwork unearthed in front of him, a pile of information slowly emerged from Rare's mind.
Name:??? 】
[Quality: ??? Relic]
[Type: Weapon]
[Equipment Requirements: Strength 15]
[Basic Attributes: Attack Range 1.2, 10.0 Blunt Damage]
[Special Effect: ??? 】
[Weight: 5.2kg]
[Note: The internal gears of the historical remnants may no longer be able to function anymore.]
Looking at the words relic on it, it is not difficult to analyze that this metal item is indeed a remnant of an old version.
It's just that it can appear in underground rock formations, and the time left for this thing is probably a bit surprising.
Judging from the fact that a chainsaw sword can hit blunt damage, the original function of this thing is ninety percent obsolete, and the collection value of the cultural relics is probably much higher than its use value.
But it is not difficult to see from this mechanically constructed giant sword that this world has indeed had a period of extreme glory of mechanical civilization.
[Mechanical civilization has developed to this extent, and it has shifted to the biotechnology route...... It seems that this civilization may have long since perished, and the time is amazingly far away, it is estimated that it is really an ancient version, and this game may have had a few rounds of closed beta before? ]
However, Riel is too lazy to study these things in detail, after all, the background of the game depends on the designer's mouth, and it doesn't take any reason for the entire continent to split in situ once the version is changed.
Riel's backpack capacity is still relatively sufficient, and this sword is estimated to take up a few tenths of a space, just as Riel was about to throw this thing into the box, a strange fluctuation was transmitted from the sword body.
"Huh?"
Feeling it under the properties of the [Extreme Meme], Riel seems to be able to hear some kind of obscure whisper.
This ethereal voice was like a foreign ballad from far away.
Steel is fighting, gears are turning, blood is flowing, horns are reverberating......
The beat of the heart is changing, and the blood in Riel's body is slightly agitated with the fluctuations coming from the sword body.
A resonance that travels through history gives Arrail a fiery feeling of uplifting and empowering.
Following that feeling, some long-sealed words seemed to come out of Rare's mouth.
"Long live Horus Neson!"
Lyel couldn't help but shout out the words.
There was no rational logic for this cry, just the feeling transmitted from the sword.
With this shout through time and space, the surrounding images are like ripples on the surface of the water, constantly fluctuating and shattering.
[Ritual Condition: Hold the relic and shout "Long live Horus Neson" has been achieved]
【Relic Dungeon Triggered】
Before the future could react to the cause and effect, Rare's consciousness was in a trance, as if he had been immersed in a deep ocean, and the whole person kept falling in the ocean of time......
