Chapter 267 124. Conjecture about the road

After the cutscene ended, the players began to gather together to discuss the plot.

The first person to speak was the female professional player Cumin Fen:

"Let's all show our cards."

"What's the showdown for?" The old and cunning Yu Tianxiao immediately began to pretend to be confused.

"What else could it be? You don't really think that everyone puts aside training and comes to take on this long-term mission to space just to enjoy the game, do you?"

She flipped up her green-pink gradient short hair, revealing the shocking prosthetic interface on her forehead, and said bluntly: "We were all sent to explore the way from above. It is estimated that we will not be on the field for a long time in the future. We are familiar with each other." To take care of you, why don’t you share your thoughts?”

"I'm not here to watch the water dispenser." Ye Zhanjian muttered immediately. Among the four professional players who came, he was the only one currently in the main battle seat. The other three were all rotation players.

"So it seems that the [Endless Blazers] team wants you to take a different route?" Lao Ganye's Garyton asked curiously while grilling chicken wings.

Ye Zhanjian laughed twice:

"Don't you understand? Let me tell you some insider information: the four participating countries of the Federation of Terra, plus the alien colony division, will have at least 32 teams competing for the final professional event. In order to take care of the alien colony netizens , the competition will not start until the next version, which is version 2.0.”

"Then why don't you stay at the base of Azure Star and play the training matches?" Cumin Fan looked at him with disdain, "With such a long preparation time, if you don't build equipment and hone your skills, just go out to fish, be careful not to get in. All league."

"No, no." Ye Zhanjian shook his index finger: "Do you think there are no spies in the Terra Federation competition area?"

"oh?"

This matter immediately attracted Yu Tianxiao's attention. Since Qiong Yu's center of gravity has not yet shifted, his ability to collect information is far inferior to that of everyone present.

"What you are saying is that there is some internal response from the colony?"

"Of course." Ye Zhanjian pointed at Li Aozi not far away and said, "You don't know it yet, but Li Aozi has successfully left the circle and become a well-known figure in the colony. Many fans are fighting for it. Seeing his true appearance, he came directly to his home planet to form a support club.”

The cumin fan waved his hand: "There doesn't seem to be any inevitable connection, right? It's just a fan support club that generates electricity for love."

"Do you think the embassy is really just a diplomatic building?"

Ye Zhanjian rolled his eyes at the cyberpunk girl:

"Why are the people of Xiangxiang Chicken always so straight-forward? The more foreigners gather in a place, the easier it is to become a nest for spies. According to a big club owner, these Li Aozi Club - referred to as 'Zitong'" 'The members have purchased equipment and training venues together, and have also registered studios. One of them is in our hot summer. If nothing happens, they will definitely be active in Azure Star in the future. "

"I understand, in the name of being a comrade, I'm actually here to peek at our Blue Star's intelligence." Yu Tianxiao reacted: "This is not considered spying on commercial secrets. It is normal gaming behavior, reasonable and legal."

"Hey! These rich aliens are obviously so rich, but they can't afford to lose?" Garridon said contemptuously: "It's so shameful, don't play if you can't afford it."

"Because people are rich, they don't care about this. But we can't. We are professional players. If we don't play well, we won't be able to keep our jobs."

Ye Zhanjian sat down and talked:

"Of course we can't delay training, but we also have to have some trump cards. These aliens can at most get a glimpse of our Azure Star's professional style and equipment, but in the universe, they know nothing about us."

"It's a good countermeasure, but if you and the main force go into space, will it really affect the training?"

"No, I'm a veteran professional player. As long as we keep our mystery, we will definitely catch you by surprise and make the alien friends look confused."

In the distance, Li Ozi's face suddenly became strange after hearing Ye Zhanjian's confident words.

Because according to his memory, Ye Zhanjian did not participate in the game due to diarrhea and physical discomfort due to eating a bowl of spicy beef noodles in the first season.

There is no news about the game yet, but he already said that he will definitely play well... He has seen Li Ozi popping champagne at halftime, and this is the first time he has seen him popping champagne at the beginning.

[I hope the spicy beef noodles can be merciful. 】

Li Ozi prayed silently for the poor child.

Players also have their own opinions on the plot.

"If what Li Ozi said is true, then the existence of GTB is completely a scam. I don't understand. The four countries should not fight each other at all if they know this. They should just put out the GTB fire and put out the fire. Wouldn’t it be nice to share the knowledge of the universe?”

Garridon touched his chin, he couldn't figure out this logic.

"You stupid pig - by then the whole Blue Star will be full of Beta-level strong men. Which country can manage such a huge force? Everyone is a transcendent, and the existing resources and civilization cannot accommodate it no matter how you look at it. Bar?"

Cumin powder rolled his eyes and was speechless:

"At that time, the force in people's hands will be greatly enhanced, and they will no longer be willing to be ruled. Society will directly fall into chaos and regress back to the era of the law of the jungle, like beasts."

"You are too one-sided. Just like when artificial intelligence just started, creators who had studied painting for ten years were far behind the rapid generation of AI, so a lot of people lost their jobs because of it."

Yu Tianxiao shook his head:

"But later, with the further development of AI, the rules of the industry were established, and AI became a tool for creators to assist in creation, greatly saving time and training costs."

"That being said, there is no future for the Blue Star - look at the sky, there is not even the sun, where is there time to develop? Instead, it is better to compete for existing resources, maintain the current status quo, and slowly wear it out through war. Population and resources can only be maintained. "

"Thinking about it this way, the situation of Azure Star is too desperate..."

"So just let GTB monopolize knowledge like this? In fact, doing so can maintain the existing order - ugh, it's too disgusting, it's obviously being strangled by others, but you still have to thank them, what kind of thing is this!"

"In the final analysis, it's still the fault of Entropy Lord, but Azure Star has really brought it upon itself to develop into this state."

Although it's still a long way to go for GTB work with the level of players, many people have already gained a lot of benefits from GTB, and 40% of the mission commissions are taken over from GTB.

Now that the truth about GTB has been revealed, the players' favorability towards GTB has plummeted.

Fortunately, everyone is a pragmatic player, and after a psychological discomfort, they continued to discuss.

"But compared to this, did you notice that Li Aoz said a very subtle word." Ye Zhangjian reminded.

"Which one?"

'Everything you have received - [Mechanic], [Warrior], [Biochemist] and our best [Mutant], these inheritances are all paths to godhood in the universe. '

Ye Zhangjian repeated:

"This sentence is very interesting. If you connect it with the video dialogue of the original promotional video, you will find a subtle coincidence."

"Tell me more." Yu Tianxiao narrowed his eyes. He had already opened the original promotional video and started watching it.

Ye Zhangjian opened the trailer and fast-forwarded to the part he wanted:

"In the trailer, it was mentioned that 'the sons of Xingyuan refused to be wiped out. They ascended from mortals to become noble and brave gods, and with supreme courage, they fought against the destroyers like beasts.'"

"And this paragraph connects-the three destroyers came from the outside world. They were greedy and just repeated killing and destruction. After devouring the outside world that gave birth to them, they turned their attention to Xingyuan."

"This sentence is very interesting... The background of the story is that the three destroyers, [Gem Dragon King] Leviathandar, [Dark Titan] Gelbros, [God of Insight] Identification Eye, invaded Xingyuan from the outside world, and the native life of Xingyuan was unwilling to be destroyed, so they ascended from mortals to become gods to fight against these monsters."

"So, Li Aoz also said that gods seem to be not rare in the universe." Cumin powder touched his chin and thought.

"The following description is also very intriguing."

Ye Zhangjian described it simply:

"The six main gods fought against the three destroyers."

"【God of Destruction】Dumfis, challenged the Dragon King and died in battle."

"【Pioneer of Fine Arts】Azarofei, was torn apart by the Titans and died in battle."

"【Origin of Strangeness】Specter, was decomposed by the Eye of Recognition, and was divided into three. His whereabouts are unknown."

"【Redemption Fairy】's real name is unknown, but I found his name in the official website's setting collection - Leanding. But it seems that he has also sacrificed himself. , whereabouts unknown. ”

“【Soul of Plunder】Red King, this is a traitor, he should be useless and not very powerful.”

“【Dominant Will】Mephidria, did not die at the hands of the Destroyer, but was eaten by the Society, along with his agent, the God of Reality. Combined with what Li Oz just said, the Society can basically be confirmed to be one of the big villains in the game.”

“Haven’t you figured it out yet?”

Night Sword has said this, and the players have naturally reacted.

"Destruction, Art, Weird, Redemption, Plunder, Domination." Yu Tianxiao seemed to be thinking: "Each god is exactly the same as our six professional factions. Li Aoz said that this is a road to becoming a god. Is this a coincidence?"

"I think it may not be that simple." Garidon took a bite of chicken wings, chewed and analyzed: "If this is a road to becoming a god, why should it be shared with everyone?"

"Think about it, if I have mastered a road to becoming a god, why don't I monopolize it? And share it with others? Isn't this nonsense?"

"Well said, mathematics, physics, and chemistry are all basic subjects that can reveal the truth of the universe. Why should we share them and let everyone learn?" Cumin powder laughed and teased.

"Isn't this nonsense? If you only learn these theories, but don't learn professional knowledge, without the cooperation of a group of people, without the organization of division of labor and cooperation, it will be useless-"

Gary Dun suddenly realized:

"So becoming a god must have very harsh conditions... Just like building a battleship, if only one person does it, it is impossible to complete it, or even if it is really built with bare hands, one person cannot exert its strength."

"I think it should be like this." Yu Tianxiao thought for a while: "Since the cosmic civilization is willing to help all of the Blue Star to advance to the Gamma level, it shows two points: First, the Gamma level does not pose a threat to them; second, only when they reach the Gamma level can they complete some tasks."

This logic is easy to understand: in the agricultural era, people do not need any education level to provide production, so the rulers must fool the people and weaken the people.

But in the industrial era, factories need literate workers, precision instrument factories need specialized technicians and senior engineers, and companies cannot do without designers and research and development personnel, otherwise they will be eliminated. Therefore, the rulers will focus on the education and quality improvement of the people.

Substituting this logic into the purpose of becoming a god, it seems to be understandable.

Extraordinary people can have a longer life to experience, a stronger body to fight, and a smarter brain to learn-and all of this is actually to meet the civilization's need for "God".

Only high-quality talents can meet the requirements of candidates for ascending to the gods. It can even be said that extraordinary people and laborers are essentially the same thing.

"Perhaps the aliens don't just want the locational advantages of the Azure Star, but also want the people of the Azure Star to provide them with real gods?"

Yu Tianxiao put forward a point of view:

"Think about it, if there are many workers, the factory can reduce the employment costs. When there are few workers, the factory must increase wages to recruit workers... If the people of the Azure Star, no, I mean, as long as a person has entered a certain career path, they are qualified to become gods. For civilization, naturally, the more extraordinary people there are, the better, and the production cost of gods will be lower."

"That's unknown... But such a plot is too bold."

Ye Zhangjian complained Said:

"If you think about it this way, wouldn't those advanced civilizations be able to enslave and mass-produce gods... No, maybe, gods are a kind of advanced war unit in the universe, or even supercomputers, production machines."

"It's not impossible. Just against three destroyers, the gods of six factions were all destroyed. The gods might just be advanced scroll kings like postdoctoral fellows."

"You mean: these high-ranking Gamma-level extraordinary people on the Azure Star are actually the same as students who graduated from vocational schools and went to factories to work and screw screws - damn, don't do that."

Li Aoz listened to these people's speeches and smiled slightly.

Although there were not many hints, the players were not stupid and quickly understood the logical relationship.

In fact, for the players of their era, it was a little too late to realize this - the first time they went down to the Star Abyss, the stronger the individual, the more curses they endured, and finally the strongest player was directly trapped in the second level of the Star Abyss for a version. When he dived again, he was 40 levels behind everyone.

If it is a monster like society, it goes without saying that an individual can never defeat a society. If you kill their speaker, you can just replace him.

Society is against civilization. If there is really an "individual" who can fight against society, then there is only another society.

Fortunately, Li Oz does not need to face society directly.

He turned to look at the freezer, stretched out his hand, touched the transparent glass, and looked at the biochemical body inside.

A few months ago, he fought against the biochemical body of Professor Mingji and suffered. Now, it is his turn to teach the White Knight and the Tianhuan people a lesson.

"By the way, Ms. N4."

"What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with the product?"

"That's not the reason." Li Aoz pointed at the 'Pioneer' and said, "Can you add a strength limiter for me?"

"What do you want that for?"

"Nothing, the data is too high, it's boring to crush it."

Li Aoz rubbed his neck and smiled kindly:

"Limit the data to the Beta level, I want to let that guy know that without poisonous blood, he is nothing!"
