Chapter 46: Atlas
"Brother, are you back?"
Yang Lingling quickly replied to Yang Wuji, but she didn't come directly to Yang Wuji, but just continued to send him text messages:
"Brother, be careful, this place is similar to the game world now. Soon after you left, the gold lord and the guildmaster came out of the temple of Odin, engaged in a few small games to liven up the atmosphere, and finally held a prize competition, the competition method is to eat and drink the food here, and then use the abilities in the food to fight, and also adjust the body data of everyone who enters here, and transform everyone into game characters. Those who don't want to play can choose to abstain and hide in a protective shield. ”
Then my sister sent me another map with a red dot showing her location:
"I'm hiding under the second table now! I'm going to wait for that green-haired boy in the sky, a big one! ”
“…… You're having a good time. Yang Wuji was a little speechless, feeling that his experience just now was fake.
He looked up and saw that there was a white cloud in the sky above the square, and two rows of golden seats were placed on the cloud, and a group of people were sitting on it to watch the battle.
"These people in the sky who watch the excitement should be the so-called gold lord and guild leader, right?"
Yang Wuji guessed in his heart, but he was not in a hurry, there was still time anyway, so he left a message for his sister, asking her to go to the second floor of the deep web to find him after she was over, and there were important things to discuss with her, and then he returned to the personal space on the second floor of the deep web.
Yang Wuji wanted to take advantage of his sister's side to search for the old lady who called herself "Phantom God" and the names mentioned in her mouth.
After several years of study, he is no longer the primitive person with black eyes, and he is more proficient in the use and mastery of the deep web than Yang Lingling, a "modern person", and even his sister sometimes asks Yang Wuji to help find some information that she can't find in order to study mechas.
After a search, Yang Wuji really found nothing.
"Phantom God...... Darkstar Society...... Xinghai City ...... These names, even on the second layer of the deep web, can't find any information related to them at all......" Yang Wuji stared at the information he had searched for, lost in thought.
The Imperial Deep Web is "backward compatible", that is to say, the information on the first layer of the deep web can definitely be searched on the second layer of the deep web, and the information on the second layer of the deep web may not be displayed on the first layer of the deep web, so Yang Wuji only needs to search on the second layer of the deep web.
"Either these names were made up casually by the old lady to deceive me, or the imperial officials blocked all the information related to these names for some reason......"
Of these two possibilities, Yang Wuji is of course more inclined to the second possibility, after all, although he can't find any clues to these names, Yang Wuji has found a lot of things about the term "information layer" in the mouth of the phantom god.
According to the information on the deep web, the "information layer" exists in any space and any dimension, including the deep web space.
However, the information layer is different from space in the general sense, and it is a pure information field that is intangible and substantial, with boundaries but no quantitative limit.
Just like a radio, each different channel is equivalent to an independent information layer.
So theoretically, as long as there is enough information, there can be an infinite number of layers of information in any space and any latitude.
In order to enter or observe the information layer, it is necessary to master special techniques and meet several conditions.
The first is to have enough understanding of the information layer, at least to be able to grasp the basic "channel" and "size" of the target information layer, if each information layer is compared to a house, it is equivalent to you must master the key to the house, and know the location of the door, so that it is possible to open the door and enter the room.
Secondly, it is necessary for the entrant to "tune the frequency" of his consciousness according to the "frequency" of the information layer, and after the consciousness and the information layer can resonate, the consciousness is completely separated from the body.
In this way, it is possible to enter the corresponding information layer by consciousness alone.
But it is also limited to entering a specific layer of information in a specific space and a specific dimension.
It's like a key can only open one door.
As for people like Yang Wuji and the Phantom God, who can allow the consciousness body to move freely between different layers of information, according to the current research of the Empire, they only exist in theories and laboratories.
Theoretically, if you want to move freely in all the information layers in a certain dimension or a certain space, you need to be able to grasp the channels and domain information of all information layers, and this requirement is tantamount to making a person an omniscient existence in this space.
Of course, if the target space is some subspace with no information, it will be much less difficult, but moving freely in the information layer of this space is tantamount to running wild in a wilderness with nothing, and it is meaningless in itself.
But the deep web space is different, because there is a time difference, and it brings together all the high-tech and middle-class classes in the empire, and the amount and density of information there are completely comparable to or even surpass the real world!
To move freely through such a large and almost infinite information layer, the technology and computing power required can only exist in theory.
Yang Wuji didn't say it, he was self-aware, and he knew that the reason why he was able to shuttle between the information layers of the deep web was because of the cultivation system.
But Phantom God is different! Whether it is the power emanating from her, or the ability she shows in front of Yang Wuji, it all shows one thing - she must be a person who is extremely familiar with the deep web and the information layer of the deep web!
This kind of person, Yang Wuji didn't believe that she would have nothing to do to make up a few nouns to trick him!
"In this way, I can indeed learn from that old lady how to shield from imperial surveillance."
Yang Wuji's mind turned sharply, and he had already made up his mind about this matter.
Although he is now set up with a permission lock on his personal surveillance records due to his dealings with investigators from the Imperial Academy of Sciences, the permission lock is not absolute, and if he violates the Empire's ban one day, or someone from the Empire's top brass wants to attack him, then the permission lock is no different from waste paper.
In such a constrained environment, it was difficult for him to constantly break through the cultivation realm and improve his strength.
And this kind of practice of pinning all his hopes on others for his own safety is not in line with Yang Wuji's intentions.
Although there is the same problem with revealing identity information to Phantom God, it may be exchanged for a chance to completely get rid of surveillance!
Since the old lady opened her mouth to invite him, then she must have taken a fancy to something about him, and the greatest possibility was that she had taken a fancy to the talent given to him by the cultivation system!
If that's the case, then Yang Wuji can make a deal with the Phantom God and help her do things, as long as the two sides are on the same front, as long as Yang Wuji is still useful to the Phantom God, the other party will not casually leak his information to the Empire.
At least from the current point of view, the old lady's attitude towards the empire is still not very friendly, as the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend.
"It's really not good, it's a big deal to use the hidden talent to run away and smuggle to the alliance."
Yang Wuji, who made up his mind, began to wait patiently for his sister's return.
……
At the same time, the deep web is three-layered.
Inside a private space in Valhalla.
"The game is over, the player with the most points: Black Dragon! Bonus Deluxe Star Travel Package for two with 500,000 credits! ”
"Second place: Aoki, reward a black light brand light wheel bicycle with the latest value, plus 250,000 credits!"
"Third place ......"
The golden one-eyed Odin Phantom is following the instructions of the master of the space to announce the top ten winners of the prize competition just now.
These ten people are basically professional players, including players from the Heavenly Destiny Guild, the Destiny Guild, and some other well-known guilds, and everyone has more or less received some rewards.
Marco Dufy, Deputy Director of the General Business Department of the Coruman Group, laughed and handed out prizes to each of the winning aces, in the order of which they were ranked.
When it was his turn to give a reward to the "Black Dragon", he couldn't help but turn his head and introduce to a handsome guy with black hair up to his waist, starry eyes and sword eyebrows, and a height of about two meters behind him:
"Lee, do you see that? This is the legendary rookie king, the black dragon, the reason why I was able to defeat the three guilds under your command before was because of him! Ha ha! Don't look at his silent and calm appearance, he is a standard money fan, and I spent a lot of money to recruit him. ”
The handsome guy named Li heard the words of the blonde and blue-eyed Marko, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he greeted the black dragon with a smile:
"Hello, Heilong, I am the head of the Human Resources Department of the Li Group, Li Ziqi, and an investor in the Destiny Guild, I have always wanted to meet you after you helped the Heavenly Mandate Guild defeat the alliance of the three guilds."
Facing the gold lord, the black dragon was still calm, nodded and said hello, not much to say.
"Hey...... Li, admit defeat in the bet, since you choose to join my alliance, don't plan to secretly dig into my corner! Coleman had a smug look on his face.
"You say that, I'm curious about what kind of treatment you give the black dragon," Li Ziqi looked at the black dragon with a smile:
"Heilong, if you tell me about the current treatment, our Li Group is willing to pay double."
"Hey! You're deliberately causing trouble, aren't you? Marco's eyes widened, and he reached out to punch Li Ziqi, and then the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Actually, I don't need to dig into the wall, didn't you give the Black Dragon Double Interstellar Travel Deluxe Package? At that time, there is a high probability that they will still be on our group's spaceship...... Wait for me to arrange, I will definitely let the black dragon enjoy the treatment of the supervision envoy. ”
Li Ziqi glanced at the reward that Marco had given to the black dragon and continued to joke.
"Okay, okay, I know that you have a lot of ships in the Li family," Marco pushed him impatiently:
"Now let's get down to business."
Saying that, Marco clapped his hands, and the Odin phantom above his head immediately pressed his hands virtually, and the nearly 1,000 professional players present suddenly found that they were suddenly speechless, and the banquet hall became quiet.
"Everyone must be very curious, why today is obviously the celebration ceremony of the Heavenly Mandate Guild, but they have to call together the main members of several guilds who usually compete with each other. You must be curious about what the theme of today's banquet is......"
As Marco spoke, his whole body gradually rose into the air, and his size increased, and soon replaced Odin's golden phantom, like a god, looking down on everyone:
"I have gathered everyone here to announce the news that from today, I, Marco Duffy of the Coruman Group, Li Ziqi of the Li Group, Jean Lorna of the Yuntu Group, and Kana Sakuraba of the Miyashita Group, have officially formed an alliance in the game world, and the name of the alliance is called: Atlas."
