Xu Jing read the tasks and hints from beginning to end again, and fell into a tangle.

Except for the first one, the remaining two missions are not easy to do.

The news about the three keys of brass, jade, crystal, and the Easter egg competition is known to everyone all over the world.

James Halliday has had unprecedented success since creating the Oasis, changing the world and becoming the richest man in the world.

But he was a very withdrawn man, unmarried, without children, without any relatives, and rumored to have no friends, and for the last fifteen years of his life he had voluntarily remained in isolation.

As a wealthy man known all over the world, after the obituary of his death came out, it immediately caused people all over the world to go crazy.

This is so because Halliday left an easter egg in the Oasis game.

On January 17, 2040, along with the spread of news of his death, every Oasis user in the world received a short video.

This video is actually an elaborate film called "Anoke's Invitation".

Using his character in the Oasis game, the omniscient Anoke, Halliday creates three keys that correspond to three levels.

He hid the key in the Oasis world and left behind clues, the puzzles.

The first person to collect the key will receive the easter egg he left in the game, and this easter egg is his entire fortune, more than $500 billion in company stock, including control of the oasis.

The video was less than five minutes long, but it quickly became the most watched film of all time, and was even analyzed frame by frame countless times, and everyone who is interested in finding Easter eggs can retell the footage of the video in its entirety.

From the day the Easter egg opened, a leaderboard with the same high score as the old-school arcade game appeared.

Also appearing is the Halliday Archive, which is the equivalent of Halliday's brain, which contains his comments on all the games, movies, comics, and pop culture of the eighties that he has seen and played, as well as parts of his daily working life.

From the day it began, it immediately became a global event, and everyone fantasized about being the winner, regardless of gender, young and old.

The emergence of the Halliday Archives has shown people one thing, that is, familiarity with Halliday's various hobbies is crucial to finding Easter eggs.

As a result, the pop culture frenzy that began in the '80s has taken the world by storm, with the movies, games, and fashions of half a century ago taking the world by storm.

At the same time, a kind of professional appears in the game, who call themselves "hunters" and specialize in researching and searching for Easter eggs.

There are lone rangers among the hunters, and naturally there are hunter guilds, and even in reality, there are various easter egg companies of all sizes, employing special people to participate in the competition.

Then, a year passed.

No one from professionals or amateurs has found any clues, and no one even knows where to start looking for the first brass key.

Another year has passed, and there is still no improvement.

Some people started to lose patience with the game and chose to give up.

Of course, this did not affect the operation of Oasis in the slightest, and Halliday handed it over to a third party for safekeeping, and Oasis is still constantly upgrading the game and developing new expansions, and creating huge profits, and anyone with ulterior motives wants to buy it.

Oasis is unique, especially when reality is chaotic and almost apocalyptic, and people simply can't live without this wonderful second world.

Year after year passed.

Until now, it is already 2045, a full five years, a long wait, there is still no progress on Easter eggs, and only those who are persistent are still persistent.

Maybe some of them have already made progress, but even so, the person who discovered the secret would not release such important information and increase the number of competitors.

Xu Jing's second task is to solve the mystery of the brass key, and to announce the world, he can't help but feel that his head is big, everyone in the world has been looking for something for five years without success, he doesn't think that he can easily find it alone.

Also, although he knew a little bit about the things of the eighties, it was not a little worse than those of the world, especially those who had studied it carefully for five years.

The most pitiful thing is that he has not seen movies or anything like this in this world, even if there is information transmitted by the system, he knows something that others know, and he does not have any prescient advantage, but because of the five-year time gap, he is behind everyone.

Xu Jing's thoughts flashed, constantly analyzing, thinking about it carefully, he actually still has an advantage, that is, his learning ability.

The ability to remember and forget, coupled with the support of a strong divine soul, he can sleep endlessly, quickly absorb knowledge, catch up with the progress of others, and the powerful advantage of the divine soul also helps him analyze puzzles and grasp the key points to retrieve memories like a supercomputer, which ordinary people do not have.

"It seems that the first task released by the system is to guide me."

Xu Jing's heart suddenly moved, and he looked at Tip 1.

By learning Halliday's culture, the permissions of the AI NPC can be unlocked, and the permission is related to whether he can leave his original position, leave the school, leave the planet Ludes, or even move freely.

This is also a prerequisite for completing Mission 1.

As for Mission 3, although the rewards are unprecedented, the difficulty is not ordinary, and he will not only have to find the three keys as he can, but he will also have to face those competitors.

Xu Jing just felt a bloody wind just thinking about it, this oasis is a huge real world for him, but for players, it is still a game, there is no legal constraint here, in order to compete for the key and eliminate competitors, if there is a chance, no one will show mercy to his subordinates.

Among them, individual players can say that they are afraid of those union or company forces, after all, those forces, which are rich and powerful, some people have equipment, and even have artifacts.

Xu Jing's eyes couldn't help but look at tip 7 - how to become stronger without recharging?

Not to mention the latter two tasks, the learning required for the first task alone is not free, and the books, anime, movies, and series that Halliday has seen, the songs he has listened to, and the games he has played all cost money.

And now the situation is that his gold is 0.

Xu Jing sighed speechlessly, in the past, after entering the world, he would also spend the origin point krypton gold to strengthen it first, but this time it was a little different from the situation he had encountered in the past.

The origin point he recharges will not directly enhance the character, but will turn it into gold coins, but tip 5 points out that only by completing task 3 can the gold coins be withdrawn as the origin point, and the fixed upper limit is 100,000.

He kills any monster and human, and gets gold coins instead of origin points, so the consequences of not completing task 3 are very serious, not only the origin point of the recharge is wasted, but there is no other origin point income except for the rewards of task 1 and 2, even if task 3 is completed, at most 100,000 origin points can be withdrawn, and the origin points recharged into it cannot be withdrawn additionally.

"The excess reward in Mission 3 is really not so easy to get."

Xu Jing despised the system in his heart, but he was extremely eager to complete the task, and in the end, he gritted his teeth, and his heart ached so much that he first charged a hundred points of origin.
