124. The conjecture of the path
After the cutscene, the players begin to get together and discuss the story.
The first to speak was the female professional cumin powder:
"Let's have a showdown."
"Showdown what?" Yu Tianhuan, who was old and slippery, immediately began to pretend to be a lake.
"What else could it be? You don't really think that everyone is putting aside their training and coming to take on this long-term mission to space just to enjoy the game, right? β
She casually stroked her greenish-pink gradient short hair, revealing the shocking prosthetic interface on her forehead, and said bluntly: "They were all sent by the above to explore the way, and it is estimated that we will not be on the field for a long time in the future. β
"I'm not here to watch the water cooler." Night Battle Sword immediately muttered, among the four professional players who came, he was the only player who was currently in the main battle seat, and the other three were all players in the rotation.
"So it looks like the [Endless Trailblazers] team wants you to take a different route?" Old Godmaster's Garrytown asked curiously while roasting chicken wings.
The night battle sword laughed twice:
"You don't understand, let me tell you something inside: the four member countries of the Terra Federation, plus the alien colony division, there will be at least 32 teams competing for the final professional event, in order to take care of the alien colony netizens, the tournament will wait until the next version, that is, version 2.0."
"Then you don't stay at the base of Azure Star and play a good training match?" Cumin Fan glanced at him with disdain, "With such a long preparation time, if you don't build equipment and hone your skills, and come out to fish, you will be careful that you won't be able to enter the whole league." β
"No, no, no." Night Sword shook his index finger: "Do you think there are no spies in the Terra Federation?" β
"Oh?"
This matter suddenly attracted Yu Tianhuan's attention, and since the center of gravity of the dome had not yet shifted, the ability to collect information was far inferior to that of everyone here.
"What you say, is there still a colony within the colony?"
"Of course." The night battle sword pointed at Li Aozi not far away, and said: "You don't know yet, Li Aozi has successfully come out of the circle and become a well-known figure in the colony, and many fans have come directly to the home planet to form a support club in order to see the true face." β
Cumin powder waved his hand: "This doesn't seem to be necessarily related, right?" It's just a fan support club that generates electricity for love. β
"Do you think the embassy is really just a diplomatic building?"
Night Battle Sword glanced at this cyberpunk girl:
"How come the brains of Xiangxiang Chicken are always so straightforward - the more foreigners gather, the easier it is to become a den of spies, according to a big club owner, these members of the Li Aozi Club, referred to as 'Zitong', have concentrated on the purchase of equipment and training venues, and have also registered studios, one of them, in our hot summer, if nothing else, they will definitely be active in the Azure Star in the future."
"Understood, in the name of a fellow friend, I actually came to take a peek at our Azure Star intelligence." Yu Tianhuan reacted: "This is not a spying on trade secrets, normal game behavior, reasonable and legal." β
"Meaning! These alien rich brothers are obviously so rich, but they can't afford to lose? Garrytown said disdainfully: "It's a shame, don't play if you can't afford it." β
"It's because people have money that they don't care about that. But we can't, we're professional players, and if we don't play well, we won't be able to keep our jobs. β
The night battle sword sat down and talked eloquently:
"Of course, you can't delay training, but you have to have some cards. At most, these alien masters can see the professional style and equipment of our Azure Star, but when they go to the universe, they don't know anything about us. β
"Good countermeasure, but one of your main forces went to space, it really won't affect the training?"
"No, I'm a veteran professional player, as long as we ensure our mystery, there will definitely be a surprise when the time comes, and the alien old buddies will be confused."
Li Oz, who was in the distance, listened to the confident words of the night battle sword, and his face suddenly became strange.
Because according to his memory, in the first season of Night Battle Sword, he ate a bowl of spicy beef noodles, which caused diarrhea and physical discomfort, so he did not participate in the competition.
There is no news of the game yet, and he said that he will definitely play well...... Li Oz, who opened champagne at halftime, has seen it, and it is the first time he has seen champagne at the beginning.
[I hope that the spicy beef noodles can be merciful.] γ
Li Oz prayed silently for the poor child.
Players also have their own opinions on the plot.
"If what Li Oz said is true, then the existence of GTB is completely a scam, I don't understand, the four countries know this, so they shouldn't fight each other at all, just put out the GTB set fire and share the knowledge of the universe, isn't it?"
Garryton touched his chin, he couldn't figure out the logic.
"You stupid pig - when the time comes, all Azure Stars will be beta-level powerhouses, which country can manage such a huge force? Everyone is extraordinary, and the existing resources and civilization can't be tolerated no matter how you look at it, right? β
Cumin powder rolled her eyes and was speechless about it:
"At that time, the force in the hands of the people will be greatly enhanced, and they will not be willing to be the ruled, and the society will directly mess up and return to the era of the law of the jungle like a beast."
"You're too one-sided. It's like, when artificial intelligence was just getting started, the creators who studied painting for ten years were far from being able to match the rapid generation of AI, so a lot of people lost their jobs because of it. β
Yu Tianhuan shook his head:
"But later, with the further development of AI and the establishment of industry rules, AI has become a tool for creators to assist in creation, which greatly saves time and training costs."
"That being said, there is no future for the Azure Star - look at the sky, there is not even the sun, where is the time to develop? Rather than competing for existing resources, maintaining the status quo, and slowly depleting the population through war, resources can be maintained. β
"Thinking about it this way, the situation of Azure Star is too desperate......
"So you let GTB have such a monopoly on knowledge? Even, this can maintain the existing order - hey, it's disgusting, it's obviously stuck in the neck, and you have to thank the other party, what is this called! β
"In the final analysis, it's the fault of the Entropy King, but to be able to develop like this, Azure Star is really to blame."
Although it is still a long way to go to work in GTB at the level of players, many people have already gained a lot from GTB, and 40% of the tasks are taken over from GTB.
Now that the truth about GTB has been revealed, players' favorability of GTB has plummeted.
Fortunately, all of you are pragmatic players, and after a while, we will continue to discuss.
"But compared to this, have you noticed that Li Oz said a very subtle word." Night Sword reminded.
"Which one?"
Everything you have received β Mechanic, Warrior, Biochemist and our best Mutant β is a path to godhood in the universe. β
The Night Battle Sword repeated:
"This sentence is very interesting, and if you connect with the video dialogue of the original promotional video, you will find a subtle coincidence."
"Elaborate." Yu Tianhuan squinted, he had already opened the original promotional video and watched it.
Night Battle Sword opened the promotional video and fast-forwarded to the section he wanted:
"In the original promotional video, it was mentioned that 'the son of Xingyuan, refusing to be wiped out. They ascended from the throne of mortals to the noble and brave gods, and with supreme courage, they began a beastly battle against the Destroyers. ββ
"And this passage connects - the three Destroyers are from the outside world, they are greedy, they just repeat killing and destruction, and after devouring the outside world that gave birth to them, they set their sights on the star abyss."
That's an interesting statement...... The background of the story is that the [Jewel Dragon King] Levitandar, the [Dark Titan] Gerbros, and the [God of Insight] Identification Eye are three Breakers from the outside world and invade the Star Abyss, and the native life of the Star Abyss is not willing to be destroyed, and has risen from mortals to gods to fight against these monsters. β
"In this way, Li Oz also said that the gods do not seem to be uncommon in the universe." Cumin powder touched his chin and thought.
"The description below is also intriguing."
The Night Sword simply described:
"Against the three Destroyers are the six Lord Gods."
"[God of Destruction] Dumfes, challenge the Dragon King, and die in battle."
"[Pioneer of Fine Arts] Azaro Fe was torn apart by the Titans and died in battle."
"[Strange Origin] Spectett, let the discerning eye disintegrate, split into three, and his whereabouts are unknown."
"[Redemption Fairy]'s real name is unknown, but I found her name in the setting set on the official website - to settle down. However, it seems that he has also been sacrificed, and his whereabouts are unknown. β
"[Raiding Soul] Red King, this is a traitor, it shouldn't be very useful, and it's not very powerful."
"[Dominating the Will] Murphyria did not die by the Destroyer, but was eaten by society, and along with her substitute, the God of Reality, was killed. Combined with what Li Oz just said, the society can basically confirm that he is one of the villains of the game. β
"Speaking of which, haven't you found out yet?"
The night battle sword talk has come to this point, and the players have naturally reacted.
"Destruction, Art, Weirdness, Redemption, Raid, Domination." Yu Tianhu pondered: "Every god is exactly the same as our six professional factions, and Li Aozi said that this is a path to ascend to the gods, is this a coincidence?" β
"I don't think it's that simple." Garrytown took a bite of the chicken wing, chewed it, and analyzed: "If this is a path to godhood, then why share it and give it to everyone?" β
"Think about it, if I have mastered a path to godhood, why don't I monopolize it? Share it with others? Isn't that? β
"Well, mathematics, physics, and chemistry are all basic subjects that can reveal the truth of the universe, so why share them and let everyone learn them?" Cumin powder laughed and teased.
"Isn't this nonsense! If you learn these theories alone, without professional knowledge, without the cooperation of a group of people, without the organization of division of labor and cooperation, it is useless-"
Kalitown suddenly:
"So there must be very harsh conditions for becoming a god...... It's like building a battleship, if you just do it alone, you can't do it, or even if you really build it with your bare hands, you can't use your strength alone. β
"I think that's how it should be." Yu Tianhuan thought for a while: "Since the cosmic civilization is willing to help all the Azure Stars be promoted to the Gama rank, it means two points: first, the Gama rank is not a threat to them; Second, only when you reach the Gama level can you complete some tasks. β
The logic is easy to understand: in the agrarian era, people didn't need much education to provide production, so the rulers wanted to be foolish and weak.
But in the industrial age, factories need literate workers, precision instrument factories need specialized technicians, senior engineers, and enterprises cannot do without designers and research developers, otherwise they will be eliminated, so the rulers will pay attention to the education and quality improvement of the people.
Substituting this logic into the goal of becoming a god seems to be understandable.
Transcendents can have a longer life to experience, a stronger body to fight, and a smarter brain to learnβall of which is actually to satisfy civilization's need for 'gods'.
Only high-quality talents can meet the requirements of candidates for Dengshen. It can even be said that the transcendent and the laborer are essentially the same thing.
"Maybe the cosmic people don't just want the location advantage of the Azure Star, but also want the people of the Azure Star to provide them with real gods?"
Yu Tianhuan put forward a point of view:
"If you think about it, if you have more workers, the factory can reduce the hiring costs, and when there are fewer workers, the factory has to raise wages in order to recruit workers...... If the people of the Azure Star, no, I mean, as long as an individual steps into a certain professional path, he has the qualification to ascend to the gods, and for civilization, the more transcendent people the better, and the lower the production cost of the gods. β
"I don't know...... But such a plot is inevitably too bold. β
The Night Battle Sword complained:
"If you think about it this way, wouldn't those advanced civilizations be able to enslave and mass-produce gods...... No, perhaps, God in the universe is a kind of high-level war unit, or even a supercomputer, a production machine. β
"It's not impossible, you see that just against the three Destroyers, the gods of the six factions are all finished, and the gods may be just high-level volume kings like postdocs."
"What do you mean: these on the Azure Star, the high-ranking Gama level transcendents, are actually the same as the students who graduated from vocational schools and worked in the factory to screw - grass, don't do that kind of thing."
Li Oz listened to these people's speeches and smiled slightly.
Although there are not too many hints, the players are not stupid and quickly understand this logical relationship.
In fact, for players of their time, it was a little too late to realize this - the first time they went down to the abyss, the stronger the individual existence, the more curses they endured, and finally caused the strongest player to be trapped directly in the second layer of the abyss, and by the time he dived again, he was already a full 40 levels behind everyone.
If it's the kind of monster that is facing society, not to mention, an individual can never defeat a society, and if you kill their speaker, it's a big deal to change it.
The benchmark of society is civilization, and if there is really an 'individual' who can fight against society, then there is only another society.
However, the good news is that Li Oz does not need to face society directly.
He turned to look at the freezer, reached out and touched the transparent glass, looking at the biochemical body inside.
A few months ago, he had fought against Professor Underworld's biochemical body, and he had suffered. Now, it's his turn to teach the [White Knight] and the people of the Celestial Ring a lesson.
"That's right, Ms. N4."
"What's wrong? Not satisfied with the product? β
"That's not the reason." Li Oz pointed to the 'Pioneer' and said, "Can you add a strength limiter to me?" β
"What do you want that?"
"It's nothing, the data is too high, it's not interesting to grind."
Li Oz rubbed his neck and smiled kindly:
"Limit the data to the beta level, and I'm going to let that guy know that without poisonous blood, he's nothing!"
