In a chat room created by Edge.

Wade, Dadong, and Ah Xiu were all present.

The four of them sat together, their faces full of solemnity, and the atmosphere was very dull.

Ultron is gone.

The NPCs of the school have become the same again.

The chat room was closed, and the hunters who had been cheated out of the money said that Edge, Dadong, and Ah Xiu had set up a trap to make them have a hard time.

What's even more bizarre is that the mission information that the four of them received from Ultron was automatically deleted, and the gold coins and experience sources they got were directly converted into previous missions or monster fighting gains.

All of this was done without a trace, and in the end, after some investigation, the Oasis Company replied that there was nothing wrong with the NPCs of School 1873.

As for Ultron, Oasis gave a reply that the identity is the player, and no one knows the specific information, after all, all the player's personal information is protected.

"It's all Ultron's doing."

Aitch clenched his fists and was furious, and after waiting for a week, he waited for this result.

"Too bad." Dadong said sullenly: "If you let Ultron's conspiracy succeed......"

"It's not going to succeed!" Wade suddenly said, "We can definitely stop it!" ”

"How to stop it?" Ah Xiu looked at Wade.

"Let's team up, and if we win the game, we can stop it." Wade looked around at everyone and added, "Although I am still of low rank, I will never hold you back. ”

The other three frowned and fell silent.

Anyway, the oasis is just a network, although it is very familiar in the oasis, but in reality no one knows what kind of person the other party is, for example, if you see a beautiful woman in the oasis, but in reality, the other party may be a middle-aged aunt, or even a big man.

The solo hunters all have their own pride, especially the famous ones like the three Edges, who are confident that they can find Easter eggs and get Halliday's legacy on their own.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Wade sighed helplessly and said, "Since you don't want to, then ......"

"Wait!" Aitch suddenly spoke, "I'm fine. ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Dadong and Ah Xiu with an inquiring look on his face.

"Okay." Dadong stretched out his hand, "I'll join." ”

"And me." Ah Xiu also held out his hand.

Wade stretched out his hand, but looked at Edge, wondering why the other party was helping him.

"Look what I'm doing." Edgey oddly avoided Wade's eyes, "I just want to save the world." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and put his hand on the three of them.

Wade smiled and said, "Then we're in a group, guys, listen to me, I don't care what you think, but if it's me who gets the easter egg in the end, I'm willing to share it with you equally." ”

"Humph!" Aitch dismissed, "You underestimate me too much, I can do it." ”

"So do we." Daito and Ah Xiu laughed.

At this moment, the relationship between the four suddenly became unprecedentedly harmonious, and their trust in each other increased.

"Okay." Wade also smiled, and then said solemnly: "In this case, I first have a secret to tell you......

He lowered his voice and leaned over and said, "I already know where the first key is." ”

"What?!" The other three looked shocked, and then they all became excited, "Where?" ”

"Tomb of Horrors." Wade announced the answer, and then slowly talked about the basis of his speculation.

…………

Planet Gigex.

Xu Jing walked out of the teleportation room.

Time is synchronized with reality in the oasis, and five days have passed.

In the past five days, he has raised his level to level 60 by constantly hunting zombies and issuing tasks to himself, although it is still a lot short of the full level of 99, but the attributes and life obtained are enough to support him to find easter eggs, if you count the gods and souls that have been released, even if the level 99 players are in front of him, they are vulnerable.

The planet Gigax is not very large, about a quarter of the size of the actual Earth, and the entire planet is made up of a continent, except for a few lakes, there are no oceans.

On this planet, the sky is forever dark and looks lifeless.

After Xu Jing entered Gigax, he automatically obtained a map of the entire planet, and a three-dimensional sphere floated in front of him.

He flicked the orb with his hand, and there were many skull symbols on it, representing the Dungeons & Dragons mods.

He didn't think to search for these mods one by one, because it was useless, since the establishment of the Oasis, all the mods shown on the map have been turned over and over again by the hunters, and if there is a tomb of horrors with a hidden key, then it has long been discovered.

"Where will it be?"

Xu Jing looked beyond the display module, the forests, meadows, wilderness, and other places that separated each copy.

In addition, he had been prepared before he came, and had taken the crude illustration from the book where the Tomb of the Horrors had been found, which was in the shape of a small mountain.

He opened a high-end Oasis map recognition plugin he had purchased, and then dragged and dropped the illustration of the Tomb of Horrors into the image to match it with the map of the entire planet Gigax.

The historic discovery is coming, and Xu Jing is a little excited in his heart.

After waiting patiently for about ten minutes, the results finally came out.

"None? How could it not be? ”

This turned out to be completely unexpected, and it didn't match any similar terrain.

At this moment, Xu Jing's whole person was stunned, his heart was empty, all the excitement instantly disappeared, and only disappointment remained.

"Am I wrong?"

He was a little dazed, but he intuitively felt that something was wrong.

Xu Jing's eyes looked at the search results again, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he understood what he had overlooked.

This planet named after the father of "Dungeons & Dragons" has all kinds of Dungeons & Dragons mods, but including known mods, there is no "Tomb of Horrors" designed by Gigaix himself.

The whole Gigax is not, and that just speaks for itself.

Xu Jing reaffirmed his conjecture that the brass key was indeed in the Tomb of Terror, but the Tomb of Terror was hidden on another planet.

"Where will it hide?"

He had a bit of a headache, and by the time Halliday died, there were thousands of planets in the Oasis, and it was possible for Halliday to rebuild the Tomb of Horrors in any of them.

If he wanted to search so many planets one by one, even if he had the energy, the cost of sitting in the teleportation array would be astronomical.

Xu Jing stood in the teleportation temple, thinking about the pros and cons.

Just then, the door to a teleportation room not far from him opened, and out came a player he knew well.

"Parsifal? Isn't this Wade? ”

The other party didn't change his appearance, he recognized it at a glance, and then what surprised him even more was that Aiqi, Dadong, and Ah Xiu appeared from the teleportation room one after another.

Xu Jing felt a sigh in his heart, realizing that the secret was not only in his hands.

Maybe it's not just Wade and them, the billions of players in Oasis, it's not just one or two who are smart, if there are other hunters who have analyzed the Tomb of Horrors, then all the smart people so far must be keeping it a secret.

"Forget it, let's announce it and complete task 2, don't accidentally overturn."

Xu Jing made a decision and immediately landed on the largest hunter forum and personal blog.

He had been preparing for Mission 2 for a long time, had registered his account a month earlier, and had made a name for himself in the hunter circle by constantly posting speeches and posting some technical articles with in-depth analysis of Halliday's culture.

"Announced: The Real Clue to the Brass Key."

He gave a decent title, in fact, as long as it is similar to the news about the clue of the easter egg, it is the biggest topic in itself, no matter who sees it, they can't help but click in to take a look, not to mention that when they see that the person who published it is him, I believe that everyone who knows him will not miss it.

Xu Jing described the speculation process in detail, and finally came to a conclusion: "So I'm sure the brass key is in "Tomb of Terror", but where is this tomb built, I can tell you clearly, it is not in Gigaix, maybe only Halliday knows, but is there a way, want to get easter eggs?" As long as each of you matches up to search the map of your current location, it may not be long before the Tomb of Horrors can be found. ”

He then uploaded the illustration of the Tomb of Horrors, and then directly uploaded the cracked version of the Oasis map recognition plugin he had purchased, and attached a tutorial for how to use it.

In less than half an hour, his blog was topped by the world's top search, and forum posts were also pinned, whether it was a blog or a forum, the number of replies was almost growing at a rate of tens or hundreds per second.

Crazy, the whole world is crazy at this moment.

Countless messages requesting videos, phone calls, secret messages, or emails flickered on the virtual screen in front of Xu Jing's eyes, which only he could see.

The number of downloads of the illustrations and plugins he released is growing at a crazy rate, the freelance hunters in the oasis are taking action, and the major hunter guilds and the sixth people are also getting ready to go, and the battleships and warplanes are starting to assemble, and whoever finds the Tomb of Horrors first means who can seize the opportunity.

The media frantically followed the news, and the major television stations quickly switched programs, and all the resources were focused on broadcasting clues about the brass key, which was Halliday's legacy, more than 500 billion dollars, including the control of the entire oasis, who still cared about entertainment TV and the like.

Xu Jing didn't go anywhere, he blocked all communication messages, and waited patiently in the teleportation temple, paying attention to major websites and TV news.

In this case, there are by no means only one or two people on each planet searching for the matching tomb of horrors, and once they are discovered, they cannot be concealed at all, and it will soon spread to the extent that everyone in the world knows about it.

Sure enough, in just ten minutes or so, the Tomb of Horrors was discovered, and at the same time that he received a system prompt that the mission was completed, the media also rushed to release the news.

"In Ludes?"

After Xu Jing saw the news, the surprise in his heart can be imagined.

Who would have thought that Halliday would actually build the Tomb of Horrors on a PVE planet, a planet where there is nothing but school.

But if you think about it another way, it proves that Ludes is the perfect place to hide treasure, because no hunter would go there to find the Brass Key.

Why did Halliday choose Ludes? Unless......

An answer flashed in Xu Jing's mind, unless Halliday wanted to find the key to a student.

But now was not the time to study this, so he turned and walked towards the teleportation room.

The most important thing at the moment is to rush to Ludes, anyway, it is a PVE area, even if those big guilds or companies drive the space battleship, they can't hurt anyone.

He was joined by the Wade Four, who had just arrived at Gigaix, or rather, the vast majority of them, and now the entire Oasis was desperately rushing to Ludes as long as anyone who had ideas about Halliday's legacy.

And the students who themselves went to school in Ludes rushed to the hidden location of the Tomb of Horrors.

Wade's mood at the moment can be described as extremely complicated, when they came, they thought they had found a clue, and they were ambitious to get the key and climb the standings, but before they could act, they found that the whole world knew the secret they kept, and they also found the wrong place.

"This idiot, if you want to be famous, you must be crazy, such an important news has been announced to the whole world, it's really a beep dog!"

Aitch cursed and exploded.

Wade smiled helplessly: "But this person called 'The Believer of the Pretender' is really famous, and now the whole world knows him." ”

Xu Jing lined up in the center of the teleportation team, listening to the excited players around him, his heart was secretly refreshed, his blog and forum account are indeed famous, and now even if he is a world star, he does not have as much attention as him.

"Now you can make a lot of money!"

With such a high level of attention, even if he tosses it casually now, he can earn a lot of Oasis points, if he is willing to attend the show on TV, the income will definitely be more, but he is just an NPC, and there is nothing he can do about it, even if he is a real player, it is impossible to show his face, otherwise everything will be exposed.

Xu Jing guessed that there must be contacts from advertisers in the emails blocked by him at the moment, but it was important to rush to Ludes at the moment, and he was ready to deal with it slowly later.

The team moved forward quickly, and soon it was his turn.

After entering the teleportation room, he chose Ludes with familiarity, and after paying the fee, he disappeared in an instant.

This time, he teleported to Public School 571, as the Tomb of the Horrors was found on a small hill in the forest behind the school, and the entrance was buried in broken sandstone.

The students of 571 Public School were perhaps the most annoyed at this time, no one expected that the brass key was actually behind their school, and for five years, not a single student in that forest had been bored to explore.

As soon as Xu Jing walked out of the teleportation hall, he heard the deafening sound of the engine coming from overhead.

He looked up and saw that the sky was full of formations of warplanes, which belonged to major guilds or companies, constantly hovering at low altitudes, and even above were space warships, covering the sky and the earth, covering the entire sky.
