As Luna explained, Ye Yu quickly understood.

To put it simply, Ye Yu is the real world time on May 10, 2011 at 16:07:26 and entered the cause and effect game. When Ye Yu returns to the real world this time, he will return to this point in time.

In other words, for Ye Yu, after he entered the game world, the time in the real world stopped at 16:07:26 on May 10, 2011.

But in fact, this is just Ye Yu's illusion. For others, there is no such thing as a stop of time.

Therefore, after Ye Yu enters the world of cause and effect game, there will be other players who will enter the cause and effect game from the time node after Ye Yu.

This makes different players in the causal game actually in different states of time in the real timeline.

In other words, the timeline of the real world and the timeline of the cause and effect game are two completely independent timelines, which can achieve such a magical effect.

What's even scarier is that even inside the causal game. The timeline in the game lobby and the timeline in the game quest world are also two completely separate timelines.

So actually, the real world, the causal room and the game lobby, the game copy world, these are three completely separate timelines.

That's why the other causal players that Ye Yu sees in the game lobby now are all players from different real-world timeline nodes than him.

Although they are in the same timeline in the game lobby at this timeline. But their timelines in the real world are located at different points in time.

"Like the other woman. She entered the lobby on May 11th. So compared to you who entered the game lobby on May 10th, she is equivalent to someone from the future. Luna explained.

"Such a magical ......" Even a smart person like Ye Yu thought about it for a while before he finally sorted out the concept of these three independent timelines.

That's when he remembered the clock in the causal room. This clock does not rotate and is recording the time node of the real timeline.

So, coming from a day later, she will naturally know what will happen in the real world on this day in the future. If the player communicates information related to reality in the causal game, it will lead to the appearance of space-time disturbance fluctuations. ”

"For example, the person who is 1 day behind you in the real-world timeline. This is the same time as your appearance in the game lobby, which is another timeline. If he tells you the winning numbers for tonight's lottery, then you can go back to the real world and buy numbers that you shouldn't have won. This disrupts the space-time of the real world. ”

"And this is a game of cause and effect that is absolutely forbidden. As the administrator has told you before, the original intention of the creation of the causal game was to concentrate all the people who might have disturbed the real main universe into the causal game. In this way, it is possible to maximize the extent of the main universe in the real world. Able to be bound by the law of cause and effect. Follow the established destiny trajectory to develop. ”

"So, whether it's in the game lobby, or in the game copy world, or in deathmatch. Anywhere in the causal game, all players are not allowed to exchange any information about the real world. This is because the other players you're facing may all be from different points in the real-life timeline.

"Also, don't underestimate the ability to monitor causal games, even if it's mental communication. Various ways such as using passwords to imply metaphors will be discovered by the causal game. Because once the player communicates real-world information intelligence in a causal game. It will inevitably cause disruption and fluctuations to the main universe of the real world. The causal game will directly deduct the causal value of both violators according to the impact of this disturbance fluctuation to make up for it. Luna explained in a very coherent manner.

After hearing this, Ye Yu said thoughtfully: "I see...... No wonder causal values are called causal values. ”

"Master, you are so smart, you have understood the true meaning of cause and effect at once." Luna triumphantly, "Yes, causality is the entropy generated by causal changes!" ”

And so it was...... Causal value is actually the result of causal changes caused by causal changes caused by the causal player's interference with the main universe in the real world. However, because the player is sucked into the causal game, his interference and destruction of the real main universe is transformed into a concrete value of causality. Ye Yu analyzed.

Causal value is originally a specific value obtained by the player through various actions in the causal game. In the game, the player's behavior of obtaining a certain causal value can cause huge disturbance fluctuations if it is performed in the real world. But because causal players are tied to play in a causal game, this disruption is transformed into specific causal values.

"So in the same way, once the player's actions cause interference and damage to the real main universe. Naturally, the causal value can be used to cancel out the disturbing fluctuations he causes. Ye Yu said thoughtfully.

"Not bad! So for the game of cause and effect, this is a matter of course. Since you and other players have caused real-world disruption and fluctuation due to their private exchange of real-world information. Then you have to pay the corresponding causal value for this, and repair it to counteract this disturbing fluctuation in the real world. ”

"There are gains and losses, this is the principle of equivalent exchange, and it is very fair." Luna said with a wave of her wand.

"Perhaps, but it's a punishment for the player. In other words, if it is the kind of disturbance that just knows the lottery winning result in advance, how much causal value will be deducted? Ye Yu asked.

"There is no way to know for sure, only when it happens, can the causal device calculate the final result. This is due to the butterfly effect, where a large amount of causal value will be deducted from a single inconsequential piece of information that the player inadvertently communicates. ”

"Therefore, in the causal game, there must be no exchange of information about reality, which is one of the iron rules of the causal game." Luna put away her triumphant expression and said with great solemnity.

"I see...... It is said that if someone wants to commit suicide, drag someone into the water...... If you deliberately tell one person about reality, will both of them be deducted from the causal value? Isn't the person who passively accepts the information of reality very wronged? Ye Yu keenly found a loophole.

"Don't worry, how could this little loophole cause and effect game not be imagined. This involves the psychological state of the player, active or not. Those who voluntarily leak real information and intelligence will be punished more heavily. However, if the passive and unintentional acceptance of reality information and intelligence, the causal game will use the causal value deducted by the active leaker, and use a small part of the causal value to erase the passive recipient's memory of the leaked reality information. Luna said methodically.

"I see, the game of cause and effect is really a very complete game...... Ye Yu thought deeply.

By this time, he had already stepped out of the teleportation area and into a large area of small shops of all kinds, in addition to many people setting up stalls on the side of the road.

Ye Yu glanced at the past and casually swept over, estimating that there could be at least a thousand people in this area. It can be described as full of people and extremely lively.

"Master, you've come to the commercial area on the periphery of the Earth Game Hall." Luna explained.

In the causal game, each game hall is divided into three parts: the periphery, the inner city, and the core.

For example, in the Earth Game Lobby, the entire game hall is an incomparably large circular area.

At the very center of this lobby is the core area. Only players who have reached level 3 can enter.

Around the core area, a city was established, which enclosed the core area in a circular shape and was called the inner city. Only players who have reached level 2 will be able to enter the inner city.

Outside the inner city of the ring is the outer area of a huge square, which spreads outward around the inner city in a ring. All level 1 players can only play in the outer areas.

When Ye Yu first entered the game hall, he was in the teleportation area at the very edge of the periphery.

When Ye Yu leaves the teleportation area, he will come to the middle area of the periphery, the commercial area.

In the commercial area, it is an important place for level 1 players to trade causal items.

Since you exchange items directly with the system in the causal room, you need to be deducted 25% of the handling fee. So generally speaking, players like to trade directly with players, which will be much more cost-effective.

"4 Level 1 Red Quality Universal Red Medicine - Gyokuro, exchange for 1 Spirit Stone!" A loud man was shouting at a stall next to Ye Yu at the top of his voice.

"10 spirit stones for sale in exchange for a level 1 green quality poisonous gentian! Some of them are coming soon! ”

"Selling a level 1 cyan quality Teiji! From the world of slashing sisters' crimson pupils! The best equipment, if you miss this village, you won't have this store! Only exchange for sacrificial artifacts of the same quality! ”

Not far away, another vendor had just started his throat when a large crowd of people swarmed away.

"Oops, that's a rarity! There are people who sell cyan quality equipment! ”

"Not really! In the outer areas, most of the equipment that can only be seen in green quality is good. Who made the system only redeem items of green quality at the highest level? All qualities above cyan can only be obtained in game dungeons. Naturally, it's extremely rare. "There was a lot of talk around him.

"It's not the same time! In the past, cyan equipment items could only be obtained by challenging the teal quality dungeon world. But now the New Era version has greatly increased the reward of the dungeon, even if you challenge the green quality dungeon world, as long as the dungeon has a high degree of completion and obtains a yellow clearance evaluation, you can get a cyan quality clearance item reward! A person next to him said in a deep voice.

"You're right, I'm lucky. I'm working on the level 1 green slashing girl Crimson Pupil World before! Originally, I was just about to end the dungeon, but it turned out that the New Era version update came, and it happened that I got a yellow quality clearance evaluation, so I was rewarded with this level 1 cyan quality imperial tool. The stall owner was watched by so many people, and he couldn't help but say a little proudly.
