Chapter 15: The Bad Old Man in the System
Chapter 15
Li Ming found a comfortable position to nest on the sofa, ready to welcome the arrival of his golden finger.
Holding a watch, anxiously waiting, which moment will decide your fate.
Watch the second hand turn round and round as it approaches the time to turn on. An hour, half an hour, ten minutes, one minute, thirty seconds, five, four, three, two, one.
Hosts are welcome.
As an electronic synthesis sound sounded in Li Ming's mind, Li Ming's consciousness was pulled closer to the familiar consciousness space.
This time the consciousness space is not much different from the last time I saw it, except that there is a kind old man.
Before Li Ming could speak, the old man on the side introduced to Li Ming:
"Welcome my master, you are now here with a product that has been painstakingly developed by the best civilizations in the entire universe. And I'm the artificial intelligence that comes with it, and its purpose is to assist the host in manipulating the product.
The main function of this product at this stage is to lead the host into the fantasy world in the host's memory. Lead the host to become more powerful.
At this stage, the host can stay in each world for 5 days, and only a minute has passed since the outside world. After 5 days, the ratio of time to the real world is 10:1.
After the host leaves, time in the fantasy world is suspended, and the next time the host enters. You can choose to continue from the time you left, or you can choose how much time has passed to enter the world.
Do you have any other questions about the host? “
Li Ming listened to the old man in front of him and read a lot of things to himself very quickly. It means that most of them don't understand.
I only know that this thing can be used to enter the world of various novels and movies that I have read.
Li Ming said that it is simply not too cool.
Enter the world of each Iron Man by yourself and make a steel suit. Wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted in the last days?
Li Ming hurriedly asked the old man in front of him, "Then what world can I enter?" Take a list of the worlds and I'll take a look. ”
As soon as the old man raised his hand in front of him, a projection screen appeared in front of Li Ming. There's a whole bunch of dense options, but most of them are gray.
Li Ming was very curious, why is there a gray option? So I asked the old man.
"There are two reasons, one is that the strength of the host is not enough to enter. The mortality rate of entry reached more than 90 percent. The second is that the power of the world is too mysterious, and it is impossible for such a power to occur in the real universe. However, such a world is only a very few, so Qing host can rest assured. As you grow, you'll be able to enter more worlds. ”
Li Ming also heard what the old man meant. I'm a waste material at the moment, and it's best not to force myself into the high world, otherwise there is a saying. Forcibly pretending to be the most deadly.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you cultivate to the point where you are not afraid of these zombies outside.
Li Ming asked the old man again: "Do you know the situation outside me?" ”
The old man put on an unhappy expression: "As the crystallization of the highest and most sophisticated science and technology in the universe, this kind of trivial matter can certainly be detected. ”
Then he added: "Even if there is something that can't be done, it can only be blamed on the host's weak strength." ”
Li ming....
"Then do you know what's going on with these zombie viruses out there? Is there a way to work out an antidote to it? ”
"Sorry, no."
Li Ming immediately said with disdain: "It is also the highest and most sophisticated product of the entire universe, and it can't even do this little thing." ”
The old man glanced at Li Ming and said arrogantly: "You don't know the origin of this virus, in the entire universe, it represents destruction.
Do you remember the scene of war you saw when you first entered this space of consciousness? ”
"Of course I do." Li Ming was forced to watch it for a long time.
"It's a war of extermination waged by virus-controlled creatures against a civilization that leaps forward."
"Which light and shadow that I have scattered belongs to the Leap Civilization? Then you are their holy relic, so it seems that your origin is not high-end. I'm embarrassed to claim to be the first in the universe. Li Ming didn't grasp the point of the old man's words at all.
The old man suddenly jumped to his feet: "How can I be the product of that low-end civilization?" I'm just," the old man pondered, then frowned, "I don't know how I fell into the hands of any civilization. ”
Li Ming was speechless, and then Li Ming asked curiously: "Then which light and shadow told me to promise him, what would happen if I agreed?" ”
The old man would reply, "Be his slave." ”
Li Ming was taken aback suddenly, this is a normal world, there are no messy ghosts and gods. How can you say yes and become a slave?
The old man continued, "This is an ability that he brought out of his fantasy world. It may seem like magic, but if you study psychology to a high enough level, you can achieve this effect. ”
"Damn, psychology is so scary?"
Geezer...
"Any discipline is like magic when it is developed to the extreme. Do you know what the outcome of that war was? ”
Li Ming speculated: "Where does the virus occupy it, what else can it do?" ”
"Wrong, the virus will be that after the genocide, another more powerful civilization emerged. They threw out a thin card, and the entire galaxy was destroyed. It's a lot like the two-way foil you remember. I was the only one who escaped. ”
Li Ming was taken aback suddenly, I was so cruel.
Old man: "If I told you which powerful civilization has been watching another civilization be wiped out by the virus, and only then has it come to pick up the pieces." You won't be a little better. ”
Li Ming asked himself that he was ruthless, but if he wanted to watch hundreds of millions of creatures go extinct, he still couldn't do it.
Li Ming asked: "Why didn't that civilization make a move?" ”
"Quite simply, because there is no reason to help the enemy."
"Enemies?"
"You don't think that the civilizations in the universe can unite to help each other, unite and love each other, do you? And then one side is in trouble and all sides are supporting? ”
"Isn't that so?"
"Of course not, for the higher civilizations, they don't care about the life or death of the lower civilizations at all. It's like you don't care if an ant lives or dies. In fact, which civilization is considered to be the friendlier race in the entire universe, after all, he gave which leaping civilization a chance, if he can successfully eliminate the virus, then he can continue to survive. Otherwise, we have no choice but to resort to extermination. ”
When Li Ming heard this, his heart suddenly became cold. It turns out that the whole universe is like this, death, extinction, survival, civilization is so fragile.
Li Ming suddenly realized that now that the earth was also infected by the virus, did it mean that there was an existence that could destroy the earth at any time and stay in the nearby void. When the earth is occupied by the virus, it will give the earth a shot.
Li Ming shuddered fiercely.
The old man seemed to know what Li Ming was thinking in his heart, and comforted: "The situation is not too bad, you still have a chance to defeat the virus." After all, your civilization level is too low, and you haven't started cultivating yet. As a result, the evolution of the virus is slow, and now there are only some pseudoviruses. When the zombies evolve to a certain extent, a real virus will appear, and it will be a virus that will cause the entire universe to be in turmoil. ”
Li Ming asked, to what extent does the evolution lead to the emergence of a true virus?
The old man said: Level ten. That is, when he had ten scales on his head.
So if you want to survive, you can only get powerful power in the fantasy world and hunt down the infected bodies of the entire earth, so that they cannot appear as a tenth-level existence.
It's called, prevention is better than prevention. The old man said inscrutablely.
