Chapter 21: The Wasteland

Chapter 21: The Deserted Net

People are dazzled by all kinds of posts, Li Mingyu skips the forum interface, his main purpose now is to study, and he still can't understand a lot of the content in the post.

He directly clicked on the [Library] option at the end, and sure enough, a shelf-style interface appeared.

In the bookshelf, there are many small squares on display, and each small square is marked with small characters under it, such as: [Detailed explanation of talent knowledge] [Detailed entry of known A sequence talents] [Calculation method of killing experience] [Calculation method of task reward] [Precautions for Yang Qigong method cultivation] [Encyclopedia of Wild Beasts]

The above are all books that are free to view, and in the bookshelf, Li Mingyu also saw some small squares with a small lock on them, and the whole was gray, Li Mingyu tried to click, but a paid interface popped up.

Most of the books in this category contain a certain skill, or have some practical value. Like what:

[Detailed explanation of basic refining tools] [Detailed explanation of basic refining medicine] [Battle Pet Cultivation Encyclopedia] [Jingshan Map Sutra Note] In addition, there are even yang qigong methods.

[Executioner's low-level exercises, thick blade decision], [carpenter's low-level exercises, wandering soul decision], [out of the horse immortal low-level exercises, stone armor skills], [mountain walkers, low-level exercises, wind patrol red exercises]

There is only one Yang Qi Gong method for each profession, and the price of each low-level exercise is 200,000 Huaxia coins that pop up in the prompt box.

Li Mingyu tried to rummage through the high-level Yang Qi Gong Method, but found that there were none, these low-level Gong Gong methods seemed to have only been set up by the Jing Ye Division in order to prevent some players in the opposition from practicing Yang Qi Gong Method.

And the price is not expensive, after all, Li Mingyu's salary for a low-level investigation is 100,000 per month, even if there is no salary for players in the opposition, but there are various benefits for joining other forces, including but not limited to money.

At the top of the bookshelf, there is a search bar, Li Mingyu tries to type in the words "Wasteland", and the bookshelf below shrinks, and two books appear.

[Conjecture on why the wasteland exists] [Map of the known area of the wasteland]

Among them, [Notes on the Map of the Known Area of the Wasteland] prompts that it costs 100,000 Huaxia coins, and [Conjecture on Why the Wasteland Exists] is a free book.

What Li Mingyu lacks most now is his understanding of the wasteland and the player group, he plans to understand some basic common sense first, click on the first book [Conjecture on why the wasteland exists], and the interface has become dense with small print, just like you read a novel...

...

The Wild World appeared two years ago, and players were selected from various countries of the Blue Star to enter.

The wasteland is suspected to be a world parallel to the real world, where there used to be a civilization, but for unknown reasons, the civilization became extinct and became the current barren state, and the weird and desolate beasts may be the aborigines of the wasteland civilization when it was still alive.

What connects the real world, and creates the player, is the "consciousness" of the wasteland, similar to the "Gaia consciousness theory" of the real world, with the purpose of eliminating the strange and desolate beasts and bringing the wasteland to life.

There are a lot of corroborating evidences behind it, such as some pictures of the huge building, some text information found in the deserted world, and a diary similar to Li Mingyu's found in the black stiff room.

These things intuitively illustrate the fact that there used to be civilizations in the wasteland, and there were even many human beings, but they became extinct for unknown reasons, the dead souls became weird, and the flesh and blood individuals became strange beasts.

There is a second way of saying this:

It is said that the wasteland is the underworld in myths and legends, and the written information or buildings in it are projection fragments of a certain era in the real world, and there is no trace of modern history in the wasteland, it is likely that some kind of change has occurred in the underworld, resulting in the disconnection between the real world and the underworld, that is, human beings can no longer enter the underworld after death, or they cannot/reincarnate, so they cannot bring the fragments of the modern real world into the wasteland.

The second theory is more mysterious, but there is also a certain possibility.

There are many legends about Hades, but what is death? Where do you go when you die? This is just an unsolved question in the history of mankind, and the living cannot give the answer, and the dead cannot provide the answer.

The meaning of the player's existence is to open up the reincarnation of the two worlds again, all of which is the will of the so-called "gods", and it is also a test for human beings in the real world.

....

[Conjecture on why the Wasteland exists] The whole book is only more than 20,000 words, and after reading it, Li Mingyu only formed a general framework in his mind, and did not think deeply about the meaning of the existence of the wasteland, because it has no substantive meaning for him.

After searching for keywords such as "player", "exercises", "talent", and "task", Li Mingyu kept seeing two o'clock in the middle of the night, and finally had a certain understanding of some common sense of players.

Li Mingyu in the middle of the night didn't feel much sleepy, he continued to click on the last plate, the trading area, and then, Li Mingyu in the nest opened his mouth wide.

An interface pops up, densely packed with attribute items and item introductions.

Li Mingyu looked at it with relish, and the dazzling array of the trading area made his eyes widen, although he expected it, he was still extremely surprised in his heart.

It's like a trading mall between players.

"Can players consign their attribute items on the Wasteland? So what is the trading method? Express delivery? ”

Clicking on a sales information, Li Mingyu found that it was really a way of express delivery, but the money for the purchase of goods would be charged into the account of the seller.

"This will prevent people from publishing false information in order to cheat money."

The things in the deserted network trading area are not cheap, the minimum one-time pills are 3,000 fast, and the equipment starts at 100,000 at every turn.

Li Mingyu continued to look at it, and suddenly, a touch of purple came into his eyes. His gaze was involuntarily drawn.

The fingers that slid the screen trembled, and Li Mingyu didn't expect that someone would actually take the purple items to consign.

"Puppet? Literally, it should be similar to the fighter with the summon, tsk, this attribute ...... ”

Li Mingyu had no doubt that even if it was a black zombie in front of this thing, he would be hoisted up and hammered.

The most buggy is the use level of the puppet.,Level 10.,It's not too much for this thing to hit 10 level 10 players.,If a level 10 player carries this thing.,It's basically the ceiling of combat power at the same level.。

It's just that this price... How to say it, Li Mingyu didn't think that the price was expensive, on the contrary, he felt that it was very cheap. Five million is astronomical for the poor, but it's not so far out of reach for the player.

The player's own ability to make money is not weak, and who dares to say that there is no rich second generation among the players.

Click on the consignment information, this thing has been hanging for 2 days, but it is still unsold.

"It's weird, it's obviously a good thing, why doesn't anyone buy it?" He doesn't believe that the players on the desert network are all poor ghosts, and there are definitely a lot of players who can come up with 5 million.

In terms of cost performance, this is equivalent to hiring a big master to protect him at any time, and it is also completely obedient.

"Could it be that I'm clumsy, this thing is boring."

"But it's a real purple epic, and where are the attributes."

At this moment, Li Mingyu has an urge to borrow from He Shouyi, and then take down this puppet, if there is the protection of this thing, he can basically paddle in the Yellow World in the future, if he encounters an existence like Hei Zhuang again, he doesn't need to be scheming at all, and he can directly ride the puppet face.
