The earth was empty in an instant.

When the "Exit" button lights up, few players are willing to stay here anymore and leave as if they were running away.

The vast plain, which was originally dense, is now blank.

Even the defenders, the phalanx, and the Beast Legion vanished as Hathaway drained the hash power.

The whole world is in tatters.

On the ground, there were piles of all kinds of equipment and weapons.

Lin Tuo sighed lightly, and then looked down, and was a little surprised to find that there were a few people under his feet.

As soon as his thoughts moved, his figure flew down, and it became clear that it was the team he had joined.

"Why didn't you leave?" Lin Tuo raised his hand to put away the riding gun and smiled.

On the ground, Dongdongbao and several other young people looked at Lin Tuo with complicated and reverent eyes, and until this moment, they had not recovered from their previous shocks.

Even though he had felt that this paladin was a little different, he had never guessed it...... It will be so.

It wasn't until they heard Lin Tuo's inquiry that a few people woke up and hesitated for a while.

After a pause, the priest named Yaoyao suddenly flashed his eyes and asked:

"You...... Are you a gaming company? ”

Lin Tuo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Why do you say that?" ”

Yaoyao was speechless for a while, but Dongdongbao next to her coughed and said, "You...... It's transcendent. ”

"Sort of." Lin Tuo nodded.

"Of the ground forces?" Dongdongbao was a little excited, and wanted to ask if the other party knew his father...... But before he could ask, he saw Lin Tuo shaking his head and laughing in their confused eyes:

"It doesn't matter who I am, there are still some things that have not been resolved here, I still have to deal with them, you guys go back first.

Oh yes, you can call the committee when you get back.

Just don't move around yet...... Well, it's okay to say it or not, they shouldn't dare to toss around in the short term. ”

Hathaway was "killed", but not really dead.

It's just that according to the rules of the game, he returned to the "temple" and waited for the resurrection.

The point is that Lin Tuo hasn't figured out what she is...... Say it's a spirit creature? It's not like what I've met before...... Spiritual items? Have you ever seen an item that is so verbose?

In short, you have to hurry up and take a look.

"Ah...... Good. ”

Seeing this, Dongdongbao and the others nodded their heads one after another, wanting to ask something, but they still didn't say anything in the end, just took one last look at this "temporary teammate" with curious eyes.

I thought to myself that this was really the most mysterious thing I had ever encountered in my life.

When the last few people who were stranded disappeared, Lin Tuo did not delay, and immediately called out the game panel and chose "Return to the main city......

The light flickered.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Tuo's figure had left the dilapidated Peerless Battlefield and returned to the main city of the new district.

At this moment, the city was empty.

Not to mention the players, even the NPCs are gone, only the fountain in the square is still running mechanically, spewing out white flowers.

"Temple ......" muttered softly, and Lin Tuo quickly flew towards a huge building directly north of the main city according to the game map.

After a short while, Lin Tuo stepped into the temple with the gate open.

The interior of this building is very large, like a giant's court, and the details are so exquisitely designed that it can be seen that the designers and painters have put a lot of thought into it.

Facing the door is a crimson carpet flanked by rows of seats, and at the forefront, at the end of the carpet, stands a pure white statue full of divinity.

It was a full-body portrait of Hathaway, standing here, holding a staff, as if looking into the distance, her cold face was full of solemnity and perseverance.

"The content of the game only said that it would be returned...... I don't know where it is......" Lin Tuo frowned and looked at it for a while, but he didn't find any trace of Hathaway.

"Only this statue is more suspicious."

Lin Tuo thought, stepped over, hesitated, and raised his hand to try to touch the statue's leg...... No way, the height gap, here is the most convenient.

In the next second, a scene that shocked Lin Tuo happened, only to see an illusory panel automatically pop up in the retina, not the game itself, but the panel of the evolved sand table!

At this moment, there is only one line of text on the panel:

"A large amount of spare computing power has been detected, is it absorbed?"

This...... Lin Tuo raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

Computing power?

Can the computing power sand table system in the game also be absorbed?

Isn't that right...... If so, why didn't you remind until this moment...... Well, could it be that it has something to do with Hathaway?

The thought flickered, and without much hesitation, Lin Tuo immediately gave the idea of "absorption".

In the next second, an astonishing scene happened, only to see the earth shake slightly, like an earthquake, and Hathaway's huge statue suddenly cracked.

Numerous cracks emerged.

I didn't know that, at this moment, in the space of the entire Third Continent, those surviving copy spaces that were linked collapsed at the same time!

One by one, the game areas opened up also disintegrated in an instant, turned into pure computing power, and were sucked into an invisible entrance.

Blazing fast.

In the blink of an eye, only the main city of the new district was left in the entire Third Continent, and immediately after, even the city began to collapse from the periphery, turning into the original lines of the bare blueprint.

In just a few seconds, except for this Void Temple, the entire space was empty.

Seeing this, Lin Tuo took a few steps back, cautiously preparing to switch consciousness and escape, not quite sure about the situation.

It wasn't until the collapse stabilized that he noticed a ball of light slowly falling from the statue in front of him.

"Spiritual origins?" Lin Tuo's eyes lit up, he was familiar with this!

The one that was obtained by killing the head of the Haizhou faction has not yet been hot, so here is another one?

Subconsciously reached out and grabbed it, and then, Lin Tuo found that he had misjudged:

Attributes: Special transcendent life (suspected of spiritual data fusion, a special spiritual body born by itself in this world)

Rating: Low (Growable)

Status: Dormant

Capability: Data-based

Negative effects: None

(The spirit is attached to the material carrier, cannot travel too far from the carrier, and consumes ether to operate)

……

The information in his mind appeared, and Lin Tuo was slightly stunned...... Special transcendent beings?

What is it? Self-Birth...... Could it be that it refers to the life born in this world itself? Similar to a demon?

Not a life invaded by the spirit world...... It's self-generated......

It seems that it is indeed similar to the nature of the demon, but the state is more weird...... Between life and objects.

The rating is low...... It's so weak...... Well, is it weak in itself, or is it because the computing power is taken away by the system, so it is so?

It feels like the latter is more likely.

As for the ability, I can't understand it for the time being, but Lin Tuo didn't report any expectations, a low-level goods...... It can't be too strong.

As for the last sentence...... Lin Tuo didn't understand it at first, but when the light of the item in his hand dimmed, he probably guessed the meaning:

I saw that it was a transparent, round crystal ball.

Just enough to hold in his hand, there was a sea of roses floating inside, and Hathaway was lying among the flowers, unconscious, as if sleeping.

Lin Tuo shook tentatively, and the other party turned over, still not waking up.

"So, the meaning of the last sentence is that Hathaway in this ball can't get too far from the ball?" Lin Tuo pondered for a while, and felt that it should be this meaning.

Of course, the specific needs to be tested again.

"I don't know how to take it out...... Lin Tuo was thinking, when suddenly, the system panel suspended in front of him suddenly lit up, and a new line of reminders appeared:

[The computing power collection is completed, the upgrade requirements are met, and the derivative sand table is automatically upgraded and updated......]

[Please keep the ether supply in place during the upgrade process...... Preventing Failed Updates ......】

[The update reminder can be put away, and the process will not affect the normal use]

Lines of text appeared, and the momentum was far less than before, but Lin Tuo only felt a thunder in his mind!

Upgrade!

So the Derivation Sand Table can really be upgraded, right?

Meet the renewal requirements? What are the requirements? Ether and hash power?

Because of the absorption of Hathaway's accumulated computing power, there is a change?

Suddenly, Lin Tuo didn't have the heart to study Hathaway, he only felt restless, and at this time, the only remaining Void Temple also began to collapse.

Lin Tuo didn't think much about it, folded the notification, then held the crystal ball and clicked "offline".

In an instant, his figure suddenly became illusory, and he vanished, and the entire temple collapsed into nothingness.

At the same time, the inner ring, inside the headquarters building of the game company.

The people who have just learned that millions of players have gone offline in batches and that the "Game Patronus" has been "killed" has not yet recovered from the shock.

I felt that the virtual sky outside the window darkened for a moment, and then returned to normal.

The technician in charge of monitoring the "Third Continent" stood up and shouted:

"Gone! Just now, the space address of the entire Third Continent, as well as all the data, was disconnected from the central base station! Disappear...... It's gone! ”

"What?!"

……

……

Eight rings.

Dalong Internet Cafe.

"The membership card really can't be refunded, so let's do it, I'll give you a seven-percent discount for the members who turn them into ordinary machines, right?"

The owner of the Internet café at the front desk explained dryly.

Looking at a few players who had just successfully gone offline from the second floor, they had a bitter face.

Finally comforting and sending a few guests away, he slumped in his chair with mixed emotions in his heart.

For the past few hours, his mood has been truly a rollercoaster.

When he received the notice from the committee and knew that something had happened, he was anxious, after all, there were many players on the second floor of his house who were trapped and couldn't go offline.

Once the person is dead, the problem is big.

When the others finally came out one after another, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but also had a lot of sourness.

It is foreseeable that at least in the next few months, the number of people who dare to experiment with virtual machines will be greatly reduced.

"Alas, forget it, if you want to open something, it's a blessing that no one has an accident." After comforting himself, the middle-aged man suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something...... By the way, it seems that there is still one person who has not come out!

The one lying in the virtual box!

Thinking of this, the owner of the Internet café stood up and ran up to the second floor.

pushed open the box, and then was stunned to find that the virtual warehouse was empty for some time.

Only a golden membership card lay on the armrest.

……

……

Meanwhile.

Lin Tuo, who had used the invisibility charm to hide his figure, had already walked out of this alley lightly, and then stepped into the air and walked towards the nearest "vent".

Hurried footsteps.

In his hand, he also dragged a pure crystal ball, and inside, a miniature version of Hathaway was deeply sleepy.

About an hour later.

Lin Tuo flew out of a vent, the chill spread down, and the fan roared in his ears.

The ground was covered with snow and the barracks were dotted.

……

A minute later.

Lin Tuo's figure flying into the sky disappeared abruptly and was retracted by the body.

……

Off the mountain, study.

At the moment when Lin Tuo finished guiding the clone and pulled his right hand out of the sand table, a message from the system appeared in his mind.

It's not like the upgrade is complete.

But......

[Sandbox No. 2 has been repaired]
