There is a small garden behind the Dragon Road Hall, in which many flowers and plants are planted, some of which are rare medicinal plants, and some are just ornamental flowers.

There is an octagonal pavilion in one corner of the garden, and there is a stone table and stone chair in the center of the pavilion, which is said to be made of stone, and you can smash it with 400 points of strength without bringing up a little stone debris.

Shen Yi and Hua Tianrui were sitting opposite each other in this octagonal pavilion at the moment, flanked by Gu Ao and the fourth sister-in-law, and the Variety Enchantress was sitting on a bench in the corner of the pavilion, leaning against the pavilion pillar, holding her chin and not knowing what she was thinking, full of femininity - there are fewer and fewer women with femininity in the bloody city.

"In this way, in the world of five difficulties, it is already no good to kill insects. Shen Yi took a sip of the immortal tea that had been diluted ten thousand times and said.

The world of five difficulties is very different from before, and the most obvious difference is that there is no reward for killing insects.

Not only are there no monster kill rewards, but there are not even quest rewards.

Because there are no more tasks in the world of five difficulties, or the tasks are terrifyingly simple.

At this moment, Hua Tianrui nodded: "That's right." There are only two missions in the world of five difficulties. 1. Destroy the Juggernaut and the Final Mother's Lair. 2. Destroy at least one brood and the troops it leads. The reward for the former's quest is to enter the Tower of Babel and gain the right to return home. The latter is to leave the city and enter the guardian sequence. But everyone knows that no one can do the former, and it does...... Actually, I can't go back. ”

Hua Tianrui knew that Shen Yi had already learned a lot about the city, so he didn't hide it from Shen Yi at this moment, and simply said it directly.

The reward for the first main quest is a scam from beginning to end.

The system has never lied in its life, and if it does, it is a big lie.

Unless they knew what was going on, adventurers wouldn't have thought that the final mission would have been a lie from the start.

That is, when it comes to Shen Yi, Hua Tianrui's level will know that even if the first task is completed, he will not be rewarded.

It also has a lot to do with why the Supreme Council is blocking the news.

It also has a lot to do with why the Zerg master has not been eliminated for a long time.

I can't go back after I'm done, how many are willing to work hard?

Only Shen Yi, from the beginning of determining the goal, has never given up because of this, even if he knows this, he is still unwilling to give up, because for him, it is terrible not to pursue.

Since you can't pursue return, it's better to defeat the final boss.

However, Shen Yi didn't care about this now, he asked, "What kind of reinforcement does the general of the five difficulties rely on?"

"Something else, of course. Hua Tianrui replied: "The five difficulties are real-world simulations, so what is the war fought in the real world for?"

Shen Yi thought for a moment and replied: "Territory, resources, don't tell me it's human rights." ”

Hua Tianrui smiled: "That's right, it's territory and resources." How do you think StarCraft works?"

Shen Yi was stunned and blurted out: "You won't tell me that there is mining in the world of five difficulties, right?"

StarCraft is a strategy game, and the way to get resources is through mining.

Could it be that the generals still have a cameo role as miners in the world of five difficulties?

Shen Yi couldn't imagine it.

Hua Tianrui shook his head and smiled: "It's not all right to say it's mining, it should be said to be energy transformation." And when it comes to energy conversion...... Do you know the spatial architecture of the Bloody City?"

The spatial architecture of the bloody city?

Shen Yi hesitated.

According to the girl in white, the dream space where the bloody city is located is actually the collapsed space in the origin of the universe, which is the opposite of the positive expansion of the universe, and is an infinitely collapsed internal expansion space, so from a certain point of view, it can also be understood as the back of the universe, the antimatter space, the universe at another latitude, and so on.

And in this space, in fact, there are also levels.

The most powerful of these is the infinitely collapsed core area.

Due to the infinite collapse, the Quarez people will never be able to reach the core, and can only slowly get closer. And the entire space, from the origin to the core, is a dream space.

The closer the space is to the core, the greater the power of the dream space.

The farther away from the core, the less power the dream space has.

Therefore, if the origin is regarded as a target, the world outside the target is the universe, the world inside the target is the dream space, and the ten rings on the target are the core.

Bloody City is located in the second ring of the target.

Closer to the core than the Bloody City is the Mission World, which is the three rings on the target, although it depends on the city to exist, but it is closer to the bullseye in terms of location.

This is also the Bloody City's move to get closer to the origin in order to better develop and utilize space energy on the basis of this distance, so the mission world is the place where the dream energy is the strongest, so it can be built freely and turn over the river and the sea.

And on the periphery of the bloody city is the space where the Zerg is located.

Here's the link.

The Zerg space, the bloody city, the mission world, and the core form a circular system in the space within the entire origin, as if a ring sets a ring entertainment city, but there is still a huge gap between the three rings and the ten rings from the real contact with the core.

What the city can do is to be close, not owned.

These things are things that Shen Yi gradually understood after waking up that time, some of which only he knows, such as the secret of the independence of the origin and soul, and some that everyone knows, such as Dream Space and Zerg.

At this moment, Hua Tianrui suddenly asked, Shen Yi didn't know what he knew, so he could only nod very carefully: "Well, I know some." It seems that the mission world, the bloody city, and the three levels of the Zerg space are different, and the dream energy is also different, and the mission world is the place with the greatest dream energy. ”

He didn't say anything more specific, just a few words.

Hearing Shen Yi say this, Hua Tianrui breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you know, then I can save the secret, after all, this is not a trivial matter." You're right, the mission world is the place with the highest energy in the dream space, but you don't know that the mission world with five difficulties is the place with the strongest energy in all worlds, and at the same time, it is the source of power for the entire city!"

"Huh?" Shen Yileng said.

He really didn't know about this.

In this way, the simulated world with five difficulties is actually the energy zone closest to the core origin?

He was about to say this, Hua Tianrui had already said: "Because it is where the system exists!"

Shen Yi immediately stopped: "You said the system?"

"En!" Hua Tianrui nodded affirmatively: "The system of the city is actually not built in the city, but in the five-difficulty task world from the beginning, and it is not the five-difficulty task world in the first place, but the ......."

"System area!" Shen Yi said in a deep voice.

"Yes, it was only after the quest world was gradually opened up that it was transformed into a five-difficulty quest world. ”

"Why?"

"Because the Juggernaut has invaded. Hua Tianrui replied.

Listening to Hua Tianrui's statement, such a picture gradually appeared in Shen Yi's mind:

After the Quaternary, the Zerg Lord appeared, and as the last Quarez man, he knew very well where the key to the core of the bloody city was.

Although his body could not enter the world of the bloody city, the powerful spiritual energy still caused his consciousness to begin to invade the city, and tried to control the system and reclaim the city.

In the battle for the system, the Zerg Juggernaut used the system to constantly create more Zerg to help him, and the Supreme Council had to start letting adventurers enter to help in the battle.

The war continued to expand, and eventually, the system area became a unique mission world and the final home of all the generals of the fifth difficulty. Although the Supreme Council was victorious in the end, the world was preserved in a stereotyped way.

Of course, all this is just Shen Yi's speculation, and what Hua Tianrui said is completely different from this.

According to Hua Tianrui, the Juggernaut has somehow controlled the system, created the Zerg, and prepared to invade and disintegrate the city from within. The Supreme Council had a foresight and planned to turn this place into a simulated world to fight against the Zerg, and finally won the battle. Simplicity, but also the truth, is to hide the most crucial part.

Shen Yi didn't know if Hua Tianrui was lying or he didn't know the inside story, but Shen Yi thought that Hua Tianrui should still know.

News is news after all, and it is naturally disseminated, and no matter how strict it is, it is impossible to keep it absolutely secret. The fact that the Supreme Council is a human race is known to countless guardians, and there are many members of the Dragon Alliance among the guardians, and it is not uncommon for future leaders of the Dragon Alliance to reveal this.

Knowing that the Supreme Council is composed of humans, then the guess that the Zerg Lord is a Quarez is probably probably guessed, and combined with what happened in the system area, everything can naturally be associated.

However, this is a good thing for Shen Yi, because it means that he can get more valuable information from Hua Tianrui. Now Hua Tianrui is just pretending to be confused and can't say it clearly, but as long as Shen Yi reveals it a little and says that he already knows the secret about the Supreme Council and the Zerg Master, Hua Tianrui can't pretend anymore.

Of course, before that, he still had to know more about the five difficulties.

When the system area became a simulated world, everything was different here.

This is where the energy is supplied to the entire space, so the energy is most concentrated, and there are countless energy harvesting points.

The energy of the dream space is not something that can be used just for use, and what can be touched and used by material life is only matter.

Therefore, before using the energy of the dream space to do things, it is necessary to make the energy manifest.

It's called mining!

Engineers in the interstellar world can dig up enough ore to convert it into a substance that can be used to build any object.

Originally, it was just a game, but here, it is recreated in a different way.

Adventurers benefit from the embodiment of energy in the simulated world, which is given to the central core within the world for transformation to form a world of abilities, equipment, and missions.

At the same time, the system will pay the corresponding points according to the energy obtained. The rewards you get can directly buy any equipment and skills you want, and the five difficulties are also the only world with a shop inside the world, and a world with multiple ways to buy money, points, points, etc.

Of course, the points or points exchanged for energy are definitely far from the value of energy itself, after all, the excess energy will be used to provide other worlds and adventurers.

If the previous adventurer was to ask for it, then reaching the fifth difficulty is the reward.

Shen Yi still remembered the Eye of Hades and the Zerg Neidan that the girl in white asked him to destroy.

That is the material used to extract energy and embody the dream energy, because of its special role, it is also one of the few items that can directly bring energy out of the space outside the city, so it is pursued by every guardian, but it is destroyed by him.

Just the energy in a bead can make his attributes soar, his skills soar, and his strength rise to the current level, which shows the preciousness of energy value.

Now that I think about it, I can understand why the girl did what he did in the first place - the energy of transformation will eventually dissipate and return to space, but the energy that brought out of the city will never return. As a Lady of Space, taking energy out of space is simply stealing her blood.

Energy converters are required to extract energy, and the energy is spread throughout the space, so enough territory is required.

The larger the territory, the more energy can be extracted. This is how the adventurers of the five difficulties fight. There is no longer a reward for killing monsters, at best, some worm skin beetles can be converted into energy, but the amount is extremely rare, and the only way to really get resources is an energy converter.

However, the energy converter itself is a behemoth, and the conversion of energy requires a large number of manual operations, and it also needs corresponding protection.

The so-called manpower can be hired directly from the central system, and enough mining workers can be hired for the most ordinary money.

But these miners also need living conditions.

Around the workers, you have to build corresponding living quarters to provide basic living and security conditions.

Around energy, you'll want to build bases and defenses that provide basic support.

If an energy converter is a mining area, then a mining area is equivalent to a base in the game.

It's just that this base is very complicated, you have to use your own profits to try to build a complete self-sufficient social system, including food, bathing, clothing, accommodation, etc., of course, you can also use tyranny/political means to deal with it, but even if the miners resist, you can at least passively kill the workers.

You can also hire an overseer, but the overseer also has living needs, and it costs money!

It's possible to take refuge in the Zerg in a hurry, the bugs here don't have IQ, but the master does!

Unless you have the heart to do it yourself, but if you have the energy to pay for it, it is better to spend more money to improve the living environment, after all, money is the lowest currency there.

That's not enough.

Because this social system can be destroyed by the Zerg at any time.

Just as war destroys homes, the Zerg will destroy everything here.

The Zerg are not stupid, they can also absorb the energy in the space to strengthen themselves, but they can't be brought to the outside world, and the master of the Zerg is not the boss of the ordinary world, but the existence directly affected by the external ontological consciousness, as if the doppelganger of the master, the system is ineffective against it - they are all trying to control the system.

Therefore, it will attack the adventurer's territory as much as possible, destroy the adventurer's energy converter, not give them a chance to absorb energy, and seize every opportunity to attack the central system.

In fact, the Juggernaut has never given up on attacking and controlling the system, and although it has failed, it is still trying and still not giving up!

For the uninformed, this is a simulated world, and for those in the know, this is already a battlefield outpost.

So adventurers must protect their territory.

If it fails, grab it!

The adventurers who have lost their territory unite to snatch it from the claws and mouths of the Zerg!

Adventurers who want more territory and more energy can also join forces to grab it!

Joint Attack!

Divisional Defense!

This is the nature of warfare in the simulated world, just like in the real world.

Every adventurer has a year to complete the mission, at least the second one. If you can't finish it after a year, it's death. During the year, each month is counted as a quest world, and all multiple abilities can be restored once for free after one month. If you can't complete the task after a year, you can only wipe it out. In fact, the bloody city doesn't like to erase, after all, erasing one means one less combat power, but without oppression, there is no motivation.

Therefore, although the simulated world is a simulated war, this simulated war is also very important, and from here, the adventurers have already begun to officially fight with the juggernaut clone.

This is a death rehearsal before the real war!

The boss here is not controlled by the system!

Everything here is full of great randomness!

This is a world that needs strategic development!

This is the simulation world of five difficulties!
