Chapter 44: The Hidden Sect
"Who are you?"
Xiang Shan replied.
Although the reply may expose itself and lead to an attack, this danger is also considered.
That's the highest force a city can use. After all, the lord has already brought most of his force out to encircle and suppress a certain celebrity.
That's why he's here.
And Yuki and the little guy's affairs don't have to worry about it for the time being. Even if something really happens to him, those two knights can take care of them for a while. During this time, Xiang Shan has taught the basics of martial arts to Yuki in an almost crammed way. It can be said that Yuki's foundation is stronger than most warriors of this era.
Later, even if he was self-taught, he had the opportunity to find open blockchains on the network and identify most of the malicious traps on his own.
And this master who uses his internal strength to walk on the Internet is the first person he has seen so far whose internal strength is higher than his current own.
For a long time, Xiang Shan has never seen anyone with higher internal strength than himself. Whether it is those bandits in the green forest, or the pursuers among the guardians, or the two knights Huang Coupling and Cui Ji, they do not have such internal strength.
In a sense, "the strength of internal strength" means "the strength of the ability to obtain information".
In the information age, hackers are the individuals with the strongest ability to obtain information. They can pry out the information they want from various servers, and at the same time avoid the information they already have from being ruthlessly erased by the government. They are constantly obtained and carefully kept.
This is the wealth that only a master can have.
The higher the internal strength, the more things you know.
Xiang Shan was eager to know some information to improve his judgment of the form and his plans for the future.
This is his best chance.
Then, the download data displayed by the prosthetic exploded. Something I feel...... Like a warm tide from all directions. This operation was not too hostile, but Xiang Shan quickly built a simulator to wrap up the foreign data.
Of course, this may not be of much use.
Just like what Xiang Shan said to Yuki at the beginning, the first lesson of chivalry is to use meditation to break through the illusion of simulation. In the ancient era when mankind was just beginning the information revolution, viruses that penetrated virtual machines were born.
But no matter what, it's better than nothing.
Fortunately, the information is only concrete.
Then that will vanished.
Xiang Shan checked every string of characters in this data file from the bottom, and only after confirming that there was no virus did he carefully pinch the spare chip and open it.
It's a tutorial.
It's about the latest version of the "Cyber Meditation Room".
Xiang Shan quickly read this material, then learned and mastered it.
He reconstructed his online meditation room, and then stretched his will again, letting his thoughts jump from one hypertext to another, hoping to meet the person he had just spoken to again.
This time, however, nothing was found.
…………………………………………………………
This is what happened about fifty minutes later.
A man with a fair face opened his eyes. His first instinct was to touch his face. In front of him was a screen with his own face being broadcast simultaneously. , which is equivalent to the function of a mirror.
Then, the man gently unplugged the charging cable plugged in the back of his head and slowly walked out of the room.
His biological brain is not in this body, but elsewhere. This body is only used to soothe emotions and maintain his dwindling humanity.
He slapped his face. This is the closest thing to the real feeling.
Beyond the small room is a small hallway. There is a narrow window that is only a dozen centimeters wide. A girl just stood there, staring out.
"No matter how you look at it, that's it." The man shook his head: "The scenery of this hellish place won't change at all, right?" Except that fog is still fog. ”
"Who knows?" The girl said, "Maybe a small piece of mold will appear in the next moment?" A piece of lichen? ”
"It's early." The man snorted coldly.
The girl shook her head: "It's not interesting at all." That's when she turned her head. The man saw that there were still visible gaps in the edges of the girl's cheeks – indicating that her face was also an industrial product that needed to be replaced.
The girl asked, "Is your mission complete?" ”
"It's close, but I've found more holes." The man said: "After all, the end plan is a relatively marginal plan, and there won't be too many masters in the house to take care of it. Unfortunately, we don't have a chance to steal data on a physical level...... Hey, it's too far away. ”
"Huh? On a regular basis, you'll be out tomorrow in three hours, right? Are there any surprises? ”
The man shrugged, "One of my avatars has detected a beta version of the Cyber Meditation Room appearing within the confines of Pine Eagle City, not far from the server of Project Mana. In between hypertext jumps, I sniffed his tracks, and then cut off the surveillance of him from there. It's just that Xu is too far away, and my internal strength can't be fully exerted. My avatar is the latest version of the online meditation room that has been sent. ”
"Beta version......" the girl exclaimed.
"yes, the beta version, and one of the last of the beta versions." The man said: "The last work of the ideal era of martial arts." I think it dates back to the time of the Takezu. ”
The girl's face became serious: "Actually appeared again?" Shizun obviously spent a lot of experience cleaning up those outdated versions of the data on the Internet, so as not to endanger those teenagers who are curious to step into this world. There should be very little correct information to ......"
"Even if it's a master, it's impossible to eliminate all the copies on the network." The man shrugged.
"However, the most reliable way to get it right now...... It should be some fork of 'that' blockchain, right? ”
"God, forget that." The man shrugged: "'That' blockchain, there are so many soft and hard forks, it's almost a big maze, okay?" Whether it is Shizun or other witnesses of the year, it is difficult to enter a specific fork and drag out specific data from it. ”
The girl stared at the man: "I don't think you're sincere in what you said." ”
The man sighed: "Forget it. In any case, I still have to report this matter to the master. Senior sister, get out of the way. ”
The girl said loudly: "Brother, don't you think that the 'return of the Martial God' is not a good thing?" ”
The man shrugged: "Who knows?" ”
…………………………………………………………
This happened in a distant area of dialogue, and Xiang Shan has no way of knowing.
He lingered in place for about two hours, never waiting for a further response.
Finally, Xiang Shan confirmed one thing.
"Is this a pitiful person?"
He said to himself.
There is a sense of irony.
Although I had expected it for a long time, my knowledge was a little out of step with the times...... But now I have an intuitive understanding.
"Good." Xiang Shan said, "I also got the Internet meditation room that I can use, and I checked the network status here. ”
If you use your skills in an area with a developed network, you will encounter a problem - you will be counterattacked by masters from all over the world.
Not only local masters, but even masters on the other side of the earth, or even on the moon, can send their internal forces here through satellite signals and servers to assist local powerhouses in resisting external attacks.
The last time he hijacked the welfare officer's ground effect aircraft, he also encountered this problem.
It's just that this time, he disconnected the network in time, but he avoided this kind of problem.
And now, it is still necessary to pay attention to a little bit.
After confirming this, Xiangshan walked towards the agreed ground.
The closer you get to the center of the city, the more noticeable the giant anti-aircraft cannon on the ground becomes.
Those electromagnetic cannons, which resemble leaning towers, can accelerate huge blocks of metal to supersonic speeds.
Aside from the fact that the walls of the building had to be taken care of, there were almost no defects, which was a very terrible means.
These cannons have bulky turrets of large caliber and are more than a dozen meters high, often the tallest building on a block.
In mid-air, there are also a number of drones, moving quickly like a swarm of bees.
There are also occasional residents who use hang gliders to fly through the sky. These people are the low-level people who run errands for the residents of the 90th floor. For a prosthetic person, a fall from a height of more than ten meters to the ground is not fatal. Therefore, for a small number of high-rise residents, unpowered hang gliding is a viable means of transportation.
Soon, Xiangshan found the Songying Building. This Pine Eagle Building is the lord's official residence. There is a layer of excrement on the ground and a lot of stains on the walls, but they are all concentrated below the 50th floor. Ignoring the upper layer is rare.
The exterior wall decoration above the 100th floor and below the 100th floor can also see a clear dividing line.
Xiang Shan circled around the outside, and soon found Cui Jie sitting on a clean step.
When Cui Ji saw Xiang Shan, he stood up and said hello.
Approaching the mountain, he said, "What did you just carve on the ground?" ”
When he approached the mountain, he saw Cui Ji's fingers on the ground and trembling. When I looked closer, it was a QR code. The QR code is just a shallow layer carved on the cement wall, and then gently wipe off the white debris, which is very thin, and it is estimated that the traces will become invisible in a day or two. Xiang Shan read it, but he didn't see any specific significance.
Cui Ji said: "This is the joint code of our sect, and this little thing is not enough to do the Tao for our predecessors." ”
Xiang Shan nodded: "Have you found someone from your sect?" ”
Cui Ji shook his head: "I haven't seen other codes, and I don't know if there are other survivors." ”
Xiang Shan nodded: "Let's look for it again when we have a chance." Now let's find a place to rest. ”
