Gu Chi held Afriya's small hand and carefully looked at the three-foot breeze in the girl's hand.

It should be the one he copied, yes, the numbers are still there.

So the question is, if this sword is really his, then why is it happening now?

"So what we're doing now, change isn't the future of this round, it's the future of the next round?"

Avreya nodded, "Quite possibly." ”

This explains why whatever they do in the real world has no impact on the future of the present.

Gu Chi thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we try again?" ”

Efria: "How do you try?" ”

Gu Chi: "Let's change places and bury the sword again." ”

Assuming that their guess is correct, then they still can't find the sword buried this time in this round of interference, and after confirming this, they will complete the interference and enter the third round, and then look to see if there is a sword.

Once it may be a coincidence or accident, twice is the mechanism.

It's a very important thing, it's about the real world, and they have to take into account various factors.

"Then aren't we going to help this group of Ant-Men break out of the cycle again?" Avrya's current dislike of helping them, especially the queen ant, who is talking about the Emperor every day, like a, and wants to grab her position, if it weren't for the fact that the queen ant is too important to the current ant-man civilization, she is afraid that killing the queen ant may lead to her being kicked out of the copy, she would have done it a long time ago.

What is it, I don't look in the mirror, I look like that ghost, and I'm embarrassed to hit Gu Chi's idea, but I don't have it at all.

On the other hand, Ant-Man's racial talent and growth speed are enough to be described as terrifying, in case they evolve again after this round of breakthrough cycle, maybe they will really become the kind of zerg in science fiction movies, and it may not be so easy to deal with them when the time comes.

Of course, Gu Chi understood this, and said, "We won't give anything this time. ”

Don't even give it to the pit people, so as to prevent any accidents.

Anyway, no matter how the Ant-Man civilization develops, it will eventually face extinction, so they are simply left to fend for themselves.

"But there's a new problem." Avreya frowned and said, "If we don't help Ant-Man, and they can't break through the loop on their own in this round of interference, then your mission will be completed, and we will be kicked out of the dungeon by Xiao Po You at the end of the game." ”

How can we observe the third round?

In other words, if they want to stay in the god game and continue to observe the Ant-Man civilization, they can't complete the task, but if they don't complete the task, they have to help the Ant-Man civilization break through the cycle again, and no matter how they choose, it is not the result they want.

It seems like a very interesting multiple-choice question.

can't stand it, some people are born to be very good at exploiting loopholes.

"Stupid you." Gu Chi said, "Xiao Poyou let us choose, will we choose?" ”

He didn't choose it.

He didn't want either option.

Between A and B, he chooses C.

"When I say not giving things, I don't just don't give things, I don't interfere." Gu Chi said.

The task is to "complete a complete interference cycle for any secondary civilization", the first way is to search for a secondary civilization again to help the other party get through the difficulties, but this is too troublesome, I don't know how much distance there is between civilizations, they have been floating in the universe for so long and have not found another civilization, and they are just gone, it feels as if he is afraid of the Ant-Man civilization and can't clean them up.

So Gu Chi chose the second way.

Why didn't they complete the task in the last round?

Because they just completed a complete interference, there was no "loop".

This time it's reversed, leaving the Ant-Man civilization in a loop, but without interfering with the dungeon.

To put it simply, do nothing, bury the sword and click "Confirm".

Theoretically, they are in direct contact with the Ant-Man civilization, and making small moves in the real world of the Ant-Man civilization is also interference, but time is fixed by Xiao Poyou himself - no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, but if this "future" is only ten years, it will be relatively easy to control.

As long as the sword they buried is not known by the Ant-Man civilization and does not affect the Ant-Man world within these ten years, it cannot be regarded as interference, and ten years later, even if this sword is discovered by the Ant-Man civilization and causes any major events, it will be the next round of things, and it has nothing to do with this round.

The final deduction is also until the end of the disaster, and will not be deduced after the disaster, which means that there will be no interference results in the content deduced by the system, at most he will be judged to have a "interference failure", and the task will still not be completed.

Doing so is tantamount to passing through one round and going straight to the third round.

Neither will Xiao Poyou be kicked out of the dungeon because of the completion of the mission, nor will he let those Ant-People taste the sweetness again.

【……】

Efria: "......"

She found out that the man was a genius.

No loophole can escape his eyes, and any hole can be exploited.

[Please cherish your player qualifications.] /smile/smile/smile】

Gu Chi still pretended not to see it, opened the passage casually, and sent Efraya into the Ant-Man civilization for the fourth time.

This time, the place where the sword was buried was chosen at the bottom of the sea.

Ant-Man has not yet evolved the ability to dive deeply, and the technology is far behind, and because the last disaster was a flood, and it has not been a few years, Ant-Man should still have a lingering shadow on the water in his heart, and it is relatively safest to find a hidden sword under the sea far away from the gathering place of Ant-Man.

Avrya's mission was quickly completed.

After coming back, Gu Chi decisively clicked "Confirm" on the interference panel.

[Final ...... in progress]

A second later.

[Deduction completed]

There was no more content this time, and there was no click to view the details.

But the background of the text changed to a shimmering bright yellow.

【Warning! 】

【Don't waste the precious distraction opportunity of the Kami Game】

[A new loop has been generated, you can continue to interfere]

[If there are no more interference factors, it will be judged as a failure of this game strategy]

Gu Chi: "Oh. ”

It turns out that the yellow in the background is the yellow of the yellow card.

Efria had a slightly strange gaze.

How did she feel as if someone was angry?

But think about it.

If she was always exploited by Gu Chi, she would not be able to stand it.

Gu Chi had already entered the working mode, stretched out his hand, slowly turned and looked at the new perspective model in front of him.

There are many copies in the sea area, Gu Chi chose the largest one, and popped up the copy information to take a look.

Really.

[Copy Name: "Oracle Under the Sea"]

【Difficulty:SS】

[Location: Target Civilization Territory]

[Timeline: 2758/19/01]

【Main Quest: Explore the Seabed】

[Final Goal: Find the Lost Treasure of the Emperor of Heaven]

[Initial dungeon strategy time: 1892-06-23]

Even the mission name hasn't changed.

The timeline and initial strategy time are also the same as the previous copy of the Buried Sword, the only difference is the name of the dungeon and the corresponding location.

"Wait, Gu Chi... Let's take a look at the time frame available this time. Avrya suddenly spoke.

Nothing has changed, so has the selectable time frame not changed?

"It hasn't changed." Gu Chi said.

He opened the control panel of the timeline, which was similar to the interface for adjusting the clock in a mobile phone, and the toggle up could only go up to 1885, and the down dial was 1894, which was still the decade.

"I see." Efriya's eyes flickered slightly, "This cycle should refer to the time loop. ”

Gu Chi is not stupid, as soon as the girl said this, he immediately understood what the time loop meant, and said: "If the Ant-Man civilization finally perishes in a disaster, will they go back to 1885 and start all over again?" ”

Efria: "That's right. ”

If you fail to restart time, you will continue to move forward if you succeed.

This is a rollback mechanic, much like a single-player game, where you can't beat it and read it infinitely until you finish it.

From this point of view, the real player is not an individual Ant-Man, but the entire Ant-Man civilization!

Thinking of this, Avrya quickly grabbed Gu Chi's hand and opened the passage to enter the Ant-Man civilization, and quickly returned, and continued: "After the failure to restart, the memory of the previous cycle will be erased. ”

It's the third round of interference here, but the Ant-Man civilization doesn't know anything.

She made a special trip to the city-state near the cave she had been to in the previous round, and saw the same Ant-Man on the same street.

Gu Chi: "? ”

Hearing this, his brain exploded a little.

Avrya, too, is a bit fried.

It's not that they don't know, it's normal for the same person to make the same actions and choices as the previous cycle in the same situation and without the memory of the previous cycle, which is not the point.

The point is that Xiao Poyou has already hinted that the real world is also a "secondary civilization" in the eyes of other advanced civilizations, and then thinking of the photo of the two of them and the Emperor of Heaven who sank to the bottom of the sea, according to this logic, these are all things that happened in the future in the last round, so doesn't it mean that they are also in a cycle now, and they don't know how many rounds of the cycle have been?

This is a very scary thing to think about.

Because they don't know if there are advanced civilizations in the real world to interfere in this round, just like him and Afriya, didn't they just empty a round?

It is known that the result of the last round is the destruction of the real world, if there is no high-level civilization in this round to intervene in real time, then everything they have experienced so far, whether it is the strategy dungeon, the mining of resources, or the arrival of Phoenix Jiao, "Eye", and Grayman to reality, or what the Tinder Plan and the God-making Plan, or even the current god game, are very likely to be what they have done in the last cycle and the people who have appeared.

In other words, they have been repeating the same mistakes from the beginning, and the final outcome will most likely be destroyed by the same disaster as the previous round, and then erase their memories and return to the day when the Pure Land game first came, and the cycle will never end.

At the same time, it also means that all their efforts have been in vain.

If you worked so hard in the last round, is there still any point in your efforts in this round?

A cycle that can never be broken through, which is even more terrifying than the fatalism they had previously envisioned.

Afriya, who has always regarded the resistance to the end as her goal and is willing to give her life for it, also felt confused about her future for the first time.

It's a feeling of being at a loss.

She started from following Gu Chi into the god game, and now she almost understands this game, but the game is understood, but the real world can't understand it, and she doesn't know whether what she is doing is right or wrong.

"Don't be confused just yet."

Gu Chi rubbed his head with a bit of a headache and said, "We may have something more important now. ”

Efria: "What? ”

"Games and reality." Gu Chi said, "The god game is a game for the two of us, but for the real world, it may be reality. ”

The reason why Gu Chi thinks this way is because he thinks he is a real person.

He can think of the Ant-Man civilization as the NPC of this game, which is a string of ethereal data, but Ant-Man himself does not.

The same is true of human civilization.

No matter what advanced civilizations think of them, the real world is a real world.

At least in their eyes, it's true.

Well, there is a good chance that the Ant-Man civilization is also real.

Rewind it and think about Xiao Poyou's words.

"Everything pays off."

This "reward" may not refer to the game reward in the ordinary sense, but from the civilization they interfere with.

The current game version of the Ant-Man civilization is -1.0, and then it may be -0.5, -0.3, 0.0, and when they break through the cycle a few more times and improve the game version to the same 1.0 as human civilization, or 2.0 and 3.0 beyond human civilization, can the Ant-Man civilization interfere with them in turn?

And if the version of the game is really tied to the civilization level, it may be more than just a distraction.

Every planet has finite resources and things, and with the improvement of technology, each civilization will eventually go to the sea of stars, and maybe one day they will actually meet each other - maybe this is the real reward of the game of gods.

If the civilization he and Afria discovered was a civilization that knew how to be grateful, thinking that he was a good pet of the Emperor and the Emperor of Heaven, and really wanted to follow them, then when they met the Ant-Man civilization, they would have a powerful force and greatly improve the strength of their own kingdom and human civilization.

Otherwise, there will be one more strong enemy.

For example, the Ant-Man civilization.

As long as these Ant-Men were normal, or if they changed their racial talents, Gu Chi would not be so serious.

It's just that they have to evolve in the direction of the Zerg.

If they do break through the cycle, God knows what monsters they will turn into in the end.

That's why Gu Chi said that this matter is more important than the cycle of the real world.

He didn't want himself and human civilization to break through the cycle one day and enter the cosmic age, only to find that there were insects everywhere when he went out, and just thinking about it made people's scalps tingle.

Avrya also realized the seriousness of the problem, and frowned: "But we can't seem to destroy them?" ”

Level 1 interference permission can do very limited, she can't kill many Ant-Man in the past and will be kicked out, only by editing the copy to achieve, it is too difficult and too difficult to make Ant-Man exterminate.

The system also pops up prompts at the right time.

[According to the Regulations on the Protection of Secondary Civilizations, no one has the right to completely destroy the civilization of others]

This should be good news.

Their own world is also one of the secondary civilizations, and the protection regulations can keep the real world safe from a lot of malice.

But at this time, it seems to have become a bondage.

Gu Chi didn't care much about this, after all, this was to maintain the "game environment", which was understandable.

He only cared about one thing, and asked Xiao Poyou: "The Ant-Man civilization shouldn't know the cosmic coordinates of our world yet?" ”

【……】

Xiao Poyou did not answer.

Just highlighted an entry on the galaxy exploration map.

[The distance between you and the Ant-Man civilization: unknown]

None of the high-civilization players who are participants in the god game can find the specific location of the Ant-Man civilization, how can the Ant-Man civilization find him?

"Then I'll be relieved." Gu Chi's brows suddenly stretched.

Avrère reminded him, "Just because you can't find it now doesn't mean you won't find it in the future." ”

"No, no, no, it's enough to can't find it now, as for the future, ......" Gu Chi said strangely, "It's not our business, what are you looking for us to do?" ”

Avreya was slightly stunned, not understanding what Gu Chi meant.

Until the next second, she saw Gu Chi copy a dagger.

【Blade of the Fool 0.1 (Legendary)】

Then click on the copy and operate.

[Achievement: Bugs, your old gods are back!] 】

[Description: Introduce yourself, I am a great old god from the land of the gods, you can call me a fool, next, I will personally lead you and the land under your feet, obediently become my toy!] 】

Efria: "......"

Little Broken Tour: [......]

There are dogs.

It's still that one.
