Chapter 372: Climb to the top of the standings
There are no obstacles in the passage, you just need to grasp the direction and reverse as fast as possible.
Xu Jing took a little bit of control, and he controlled the driving of the car well, and then he couldn't help but look at the surrounding environment.
Through the green light curtain, he could clearly see the situation on the corresponding road above, but the players could not see him, as if they were in two different worlds.
The popping barricades, the crooked roads, the solid iron balls that dangled, and the sudden appearance of Godzilla, all of them actually rose from the passage he was in, composed of data, and came to the player in front of him.
This gave him the feeling that he was in a relatively high-dimensional space, and he was carrying out a dimensionality reduction attack against another dimension.
But none of this has anything to do with him, although he was the last to start, he had already caught up with the fastest players when he got on the highway.
Bang!
King Kong at the top of the Empire State Building jumped down, repeating the mission of chasing and intercepting the player, but it also couldn't see Xu Jing.
Xu Jing raised his head and watched as he crossed the other party, so he passed the test so easily.
Boom!
Just then, a passage not far behind him opened, and the ground of the highway above him caved in, creating a ramp exit.
Beyond the exit is the end of the race.
He drove the car backwards and leaped out, and in an instant he entered the park gate at the end of the road.
At this time, Jin Gang in front of him noticed it, turned around and let out an angry and unwilling roar.
Xu Jing was in a happy mood, and drove more than 200 meters along the road behind the gate of the park, and finally came to a circular square.
Musical instruments of all sizes fluttered around, and loud horns and strings sounded in unison, playing the soundtrack of Princess Leah's award to Luke and Han in Star Wars.
The fountain sculpture in the center of the square swirls and shrinks into the ground, and then a golden oval pillar slowly rises.
Countless fallen leaves were swept by a strong wind, forming a tornado three meters in front of Xu Jing, and in the center of the tornado, a tall human mage in a gray robe who looked like Gandalf in "The Lord of the Rings" appeared out of thin air.
This is Khaliday's character in the game, Anoke, known as the all-knowing and all-powerful prophet.
"Well done, Jedi Apprentice." He turned his back to the sun, like a god, and looked down at the shorter Xu Jing, "You are the first to cross the finish line." ”
Xu Jing didn't think so, and there was no excitement of pilgrimage, Halliday was dead, and what was in front of him was just a high-level artificial intelligence.
He took a few steps closer and said like a quest NPC, "It's an honor to meet you, Prophet Arnoke. ”
"It's my pleasure."
The music crescension, and Anoke stretched out his right hand.
On his palm was the brass key, something that countless people had been searching for for five whole years.
Xu Jing reached out and grabbed the key, and the moment he got the key, the music faded, but the prompt on his personal panel sounded, and he gained enough experience to upgrade several levels.
At the same time, the leaderboard hanging above each planet flickered, and then his character name (Andrew) appeared on top of the empty slot.
"Go get your clues." Anoke bent slightly, pointing to the pillar that rose in the center of the square, the top of which opened automatically, and a scroll floated, spinning continuously.
Xu Jing walked over, picked up the scroll, opened it and looked at it carefully.
"The Creator who loathes his creation, the hidden key, the untaken step, returns the way he came, flees from the past."
As he read this clue repeatedly, his heart suddenly moved, and he thought of an image he had seen in the archives earlier.
Halliday was not married, but he met and dated someone he liked in his life.
The woman's name was Karen Underwood, and she was one of the first employees of the social gaming company.
Halliday dated Karen, the two went to a movie together, and then he wanted to invite each other to dance, but he didn't say anything, let alone have the courage to confess, and finally ended the date.
This message comes from a chat between Halliday and Morrow, who regrets the date and shares his secret with his friends, much to the laughter of Morrow, who wants to hear the news.
It wouldn't be much if you just knew this information, but people all over the world knew that Morrow's wife was named Karen, and they were the social gaming company that left after getting married.
Xu Jing also guessed when he watched that video before that the real reason why Morrow left the company may not only be because of the contradiction with Halliday's gradual disagreement, but also because of Karen.
Halliday couldn't accept his friend being with the woman he liked, and he became jealous, so he drove Moreau away.
There have been a lot of gossip in the media, saying that Moreau's departure was due to a complete break with Halliday, and there were also employees within the social game company who broke the news that by the time Moreau resigned, Halliday and Moreau had not communicated directly for a long time.
As for the various speculations of the media, the two of them neither admitted nor denied it.
"A step not taken......"
Xu Jing stared at this sentence on the scroll, and gradually had an idea.
This is obvious, talking about Halliday's regret, after watching the movie, he wanted to invite Karen to dance, but in the end he didn't say it, this step was a mistake, so he missed the opportunity to confess and kiss his beloved, which became a lifelong injury, and finally broke up with his only friend because of this.
"Go back the way you came...... Is it to make up for regrets? ”
Xu Jing's thinking was clearer, whether it was or not, he decided to follow this clue first, so it seemed that he had to go to the archives first.
Halliday's collection of movies in the Archives is not meant to be watched, but rather allows players to jump right into the movie, participate in the story, and even change the story.
This kind of routine Xu Jing is very familiar with, and it is very similar to the system functions he has.
He plans to find the movie that Halliday and Karen are dating to watch first, and enter it to see if there is any mystery hidden in it.
After all, the films in the archives were remastered by Halliday himself, like a small world that could easily change or hide something.
After Xu Jing made his decision, he immediately withdrew from the dungeon and returned to the Teleportation Temple.
As soon as he returned, he found that his email in the oasis had exploded completely, even more ferocious than the previous email explosion on the blog, and almost every second, the number was growing wildly by the thousands.
opened the Internet again, and sure enough, he has become a household name.
The headlines were full of his name, such as "Mystery Man Andrew Makes History", "Brass Key Holds: Andrew", "The first person in the standings appears, he is Andrew......
The media went crazy, and so did the players, desperately sending him emails, which was the only possible way for them to contact Xu Jing.
