Chapter 659: Ma Yun's Struggle
An underground shopping mall somewhere in Jinmen.
Because of the impact of the rise of Internet shopping, this kind of underground shopping mall with a large flow of people is now empty, and it is completely no longer as popular as it used to be.
The few remaining shops have also become wholesale warehouses or small stalls selling snacks and drinks, which are still close to the underground passageway, and the stalls in the mall have been vacant for a long time.
Such a scene can be seen not only in Jinmen, but also in cities all over the country. Some even the old commercial cities have gone out of business.
Online shopping has changed people's consumption patterns, which has not only facilitated personal consumption, but also brought great changes to the social economy, but many people have also fallen victim to the pain of change.
Nowadays, the real economy is all sluggish, and some have even been completely lonely, that is, the catering industry still maintains a relatively good development prospect, after all, people can not always buy hot dishes and hot meals home through express delivery, but this line has also been changed by the rapid expansion of the takeaway industry.
So, I don't know if the development of the Internet is good or bad!
Anyway, Ma Yun personally thinks that online shopping is indeed more convenient, but he also likes physical stores, don't look at him as a young man in the new era, but he thinks that human beings are creatures living in real space after all, if shopping malls and stores are all vacant into haunted houses, then many people without technology and craftsmanship can't even do it as individual merchants in stores?
And if society develops to the point where even express delivery and customer service are completely replaced by machines in science fiction movies, not to mention anything else, then what will the hundreds of millions of people who are now engaged in individual stores and service industries in Xia Kingdom live on in the future?
So after Ma Yun entered this underground shopping mall that was still a little popular when he was a child, he couldn't help but sigh a little about the unpredictable future at a young age.
Then he was completely attracted to the task template of the "Destiny Game".
Yes, this virtual game was finally named the Destiny Game by someone, not the main god game, after all, this world also has an infinite stream of the main god space, and it's not terrible to hit the shirt, who is ugly and who is embarrassed!
Gao Jingfei asked himself that the game he made was far less powerful than the great power of the main god space, so he went to the word Mandate of Heaven, firstly, it was in response to the Mandate of Heaven spell that he had cultivated, and secondly, it also meant that the players were all in response to the Mandate of Heaven and were the ones who cleaned up the lesions for the world.
And the three-headed and six-armed giant god he portrayed in the opening animation with his own image of the Three Holy God Kings, the creator of this world who resisted the invasion of foreign evil gods, is also called the "Mandate of Heaven God King" or "Mandate of Heaven Lord God" by players.
At this time, Gao Jingfei was observing the process of performing tasks in reality through the special channel of Destiny Game, a player named "Ma Wenwubei" who had the same voice as an e-commerce boss.
And this is already the dozens of players he has observed.
According to the signs on the mission map provided by the game, Ma Yun cautiously passed by the few remaining stalls, walked into the open passage inside, and stopped in front of a few vacant stalls near the bathroom, where a black and gray dirty shadow existed.
"What the hell is this?"
For the first time, with the blessing of the power of the game, he turned on his spiritual vision, and faced this kind of pollutant mixed with evil energy pollution and negative energy with his own eyes, Ma Yun's little heart was a little frightened.
Because the sight of the filthy shadow makes people feel sick for a while, and the thing seems to be slowly squirming like a living thing.
After settling down, Ma Yun took a deep breath to suppress the tension and fear in his heart, and prayed silently in his heart according to the method of the previous experiment at home:
"Blessed by the Mandate God King! This is my first real-life mission, and I must succeed! ”
Gu Wei
Perhaps it was his powerful mind that brought about the effect, and he saw that a pure white flame suddenly ignited between Ma Yun's fingers, and this flame was much stronger than when he had been experimenting in the room before.
The holy fire shone past, and the filthy shadow shrank and wriggled for it, as if it had met a natural enemy.
"There's a play!"
Seeing this, Ma Yun's confidence suddenly increased, and he moved boldly, forcing the light flame in his hand towards the shadow.
The shadow was like being bitten at the moment it was burned by the light flame, and a small piece was missing, but it seemed to sense that the light flame itself was not large and the threat to itself was limited, so the filthy shadow actually slammed back, and Ma Yun, who was so frightened that he was burning, hurriedly retreated, and the heart lamp in his hand naturally could not be maintained and extinguished.
Hurriedly ran away from the shadow more than a dozen paces, Ma Yun held his thigh and panted, staring at the shadow with fear in his eyes, and he was afraid in his heart.
Although he was not directly hit by the shadows, the suffocating sensation of pollution still made him feel horrified and disgusted.
"It's a good thing that this thing seems to be limited in its movement and can't attack too far!"
Ma Yun rejoiced in his heart.
Because the counterattack of the pollutant failed to really touch him, and with the power of the heart lamp, the effect of its polluting spirit was also negated, otherwise he would have lost the confidence to complete the task, and even lost his mind and mutated into a monster because of the contact with the pollution.
So this time he was more cautious to ignite the heart lamp, slowly approaching the shadow, and after receiving the lesson, he just stopped in front of the shadow for a while, letting the light flame radiate over and slowly scorch the pollutant, not impulsively as at the beginning, not giving the shadow a chance to fight back.
In this way, although the effect is slow, it is very safe, and it took a full half an hour for Ma Yun to successfully dry and remove the pollution here, but he was also tired and sweaty, and his spirit was very tired.
After all, the Heart Light Flame is an ability supported by his spiritual mind, and it will naturally damage the soul after using it for a long time, but fortunately, every time he purifies a small piece of pollution, a weak but strong force will be blessed from the underworld, making the flame stronger, and allowing him to persist in completing this mission.
This is actually a kind of assistance set by someone for the player, otherwise it would be difficult for newbies to complete even the simplest cleanup task in one go.
After completing the task, Ma Yun, who was tired, chose to enter the game world to submit the task on the spot, and then a clear stream gushed out of his mind, which not only restored his dry spirit, but also moisturized his body.
"Haha, is this an upgrade to refresh the character's status?"
Ma Yun couldn't help but smile and said.
He felt that he could still purify a piece of such pollution, and he also received a hint of upgrading, so he tried to cast the Heart Lantern Divine Fire again, only to find that the light flame in his hand was far three times larger than before.
"It turns out that the upgrade effect of doing tasks is so good!"
With the joy of the growth of extraordinary power, Ma Bin didn't care that his lunch break had run out, so he simply skipped the afternoon class and continued to walk towards the second closest mission location on the mission map displayed in his mind.
He needs to become strong as soon as possible in order to protect himself and his father, the only family member now, in this terrible polluted world.
