Chapter 138 Aliens or People from the Future Edward seemed to have noticed the changes in Yi Xuan, and immediately replied: "The Gale Clan? I seem to have heard about it, what's the matter? Are you interested in them?" "No, whatever. Ask, do you know there is a king of the hill?" Yi Xuan deliberately ignored Edward's question and continued to ask. Edward frowned, but still said: "I've heard of this before. The King of the Hill is the title of the king of the dwarves. As far as I know, there are seven King of the Hill." After saying this, Edward couldn't bear it. Unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart, he asked again: "What's going on?" Yi Xuan shook his head and asked: "Then have you heard of the Elf Watcher?" "I've heard of this too, what do you want? What are you asking? Only after you tell me can I know which aspect to introduce." Edward looked a little anxious. Yi Xuan couldn't hold back the smile in his heart. It was interesting for people like this who thought they were shrewd and snooped around. However, he had no intention of hiding it from Edward. Although the two of them could not be called friends, they were both from the real world after all. Players, they are in the same camp regarding the game, have common goals and interests, and he has always wanted to chat with someone about this matter, so he did not answer, but asked: "Have you ever thought about it? How did this game come about? " Edward nodded gracefully. "Of course, this is the question I have thought about the most since entering this game. However, there are always some things I can't figure out. I have put forward many ideas. But there is something unexplainable about each one. " "Really? We are very similar to each other. I have had many ideas, but the more I come into contact with this game, the more I feel that there are many loopholes in my original ideas. What makes me feel closer to the truth is that aliens said it. Although I hate the way that things that cannot be explained are attributed to aliens, other than this, I really can't find a reason to convince myself. " " Starman? Impossible." Yi Xuan did not expect that after hearing his theory, he immediately shook his head and said, "At least according to my common sense, this is impossible." "Oh? "Yixuan asked strangely. Looking at Edward's attitude, Yi Xuan felt that he at least had absolute confidence. Edward immediately said calmly: "Let me tell you this, this person's imagination is based on things he can understand. For example, most of the science fiction novels created by authors on Earth are based on #11, even if they are fantasy novels The characters are also based on humans. You see, although elves, dwarves, orcs, etc. have some specific characteristics in appearance, to put it bluntly, they are still inseparable from the concept of humans. According to this inference, even aliens must be. The same is true, so if you think about it, if this game is made by aliens, then this game should be set according to the logic of aliens, including the scenes and characters in it, but why is the content in our game so different from the earth? "How about such a similarity?" Although what Edward said was reasonable, Yi Xuan did not think so, "I have heard a theory before, that is, it is possible that aliens look the same as us, because they are in the same environment. The evolved appearance will be similar, and a planet suitable for life must have the elements for life to survive, so it is very likely that aliens and us are actually the same." "Okay, even if they have the same appearance, what about the culture? As far as I know, these elves, orcs, and the like are all content that appears in human fantasy novels. You wouldn't say that the aliens have come up with similar characters, right? It can't be exactly the same, right? Could it be that the history of this alien civilization is so similar to ours? This is absolutely impossible. " Yi Xuan thought about it and felt that what Edward said was indeed a problem, even if it was similar. Characters, but there should always be some subtle differences, but the character settings that I am exposed to now are basically the same as those that Yi Xuan encountered in the game before. Although Zhao Beifeng also gave some explanations at the beginning, in Yi Xuan's view Come on, it's still very unreasonable. Seeing that Yi Xuan was deep in thought, Edward's curiosity was still not satisfied, so he immediately asked, "Don't change the subject." "Yixuan came back from his thoughts. "Actually, it's a question. I met these heroes a few days ago, in the battlefield I mentioned. You should have played Warcraft, right? Edward nodded, and Yi Xuan continued: "The overall setting of the battlefield is very similar to League of Legends, a game derived from Warcraft, and the heroes in it are all the heroes in Warcraft, so I have some doubts about the origins of these people, and therefore have some questions about the background of this game, which is why I asked you just now. " "Oh, that's the case." Edward nodded disapprovingly. . "What, you mean you're not surprised at all by this?" Yi Xuan asked strangely. "Hehe"??, it¡¯s still my theory just now. According to my guess, the power behind this game must still be within the scope of the earth. " "You mean, this game was created by people on earth? Impossible, the technology that the earth currently possesses simply cannot create such a game." Although he said it for sure, Yi Xuan hesitated a little after finishing speaking. In fact, he didn't know much about technology. If there really is any country With such strength, who knew that after hearing his words, Edward said with certainty: "It is indeed impossible to create it, at least for now. " "What do you mean? "Yixuan was completely fooled by Edward. "Didn't you say it was Earth's technology? "It is Earth's technology, but it is definitely not now, because even if someone can really create such a game, it is completely impossible to summon the monsters in the game in reality. In fact, the technology of holographic virtual games now has Even if the technology is not yet perfect, according to my calculations, it will be possible in a few decades, at least through devices such as game helmets or game consoles. But it is entirely possible to summon virtual reality. The world's monsters can apply the abilities in the game to reality. This is a bit incredible, but it is not completely impossible. At least I think it will be basically possible by the year 200." Edward's eloquent talk made Yi Yi. Xuan was a little frightened when he heard this, because he had to admit that Edward was right. Simulators for things like game helmets and somatosensory games have begun to appear, but they have not yet fully become conscious, but they can control wheelchairs and even speak through consciousness. , related technologies for visual objects have already appeared. If these technologies are integrated, it is not impossible that a somatosensory game warehouse will appear in a few decades. This explains his current situation, and he does not know that computer skills are loaded with this technology. Is there such a thing? But I have seen a movie before. The general idea is to use computer simulation to train people to generate relevant memories, and then learn professional fighting skills. If this technology is slightly extended, the knife I loaded before Skills such as kicking do not seem to be unsolvable. The most difficult thing to understand now is summoning creatures. Yi Xuan swallowed hard, because he found that Edward's theory seemed more reasonable than appearance technology, but it was also more difficult to accept. "You said that technology to summon virtual creatures may appear in reality in 26 years. How can this be achieved?" "This is very simple." Edward said matter-of-factly: "Think about it, now humans can use cells to make cloned sheep and clone humans. What if a portable cloning machine is invented in the future? If the cell tissue is stored in the watch and cloned directly when needed, wouldn't it be able to be used like a summoning technique? " "No." Yi Xuan shook his head, as if trying to deny this theory, "This still can't explain card loading and batch summoning, because the capacity of the watch is limited. To clone such a big monster, you must need nutrients, protein and the like. There are quite a few. How can you carry it with a watch? " "This is not a problem. If it comes to 6 years, the technology of that era is no longer what we can imagine. Think about it, even people 6 years ago can imagine it. Is it true that the computer that occupied a room in their time has now become the size of a laptop? The growth of technology will be exponential, and a solution will naturally be found by then. And according to my knowledge, it can be understood this way. What is consumed in the process of biological growth is actually energy. The proteins, fats and starches we eat are ultimately converted into energy. So what about the other way around? Can energy be reduced to protein starch? Energy is often a very abstract concept. If a machine can generate huge amounts of energy and has the function of converting energy into actual matter, then a small battery may be able to create various giant creatures. ." Edward obviously made a lot of calculations about his theory and spoke eloquently about the questions raised by Yi Xuan. "Okay." Yi Xuan said weakly, although he didn't want to believe it, but "what you said is quite similar, but as you said, it will take 26 years to invent this kind of technology. Although I don¡¯t know how you calculated this time, I believe that this kind of technology cannot be invented with the technology of our time. I am absolutely sure of this, so this means that it is not the case for human beings in reality. "It's even more outrageous than aliens." "Maybe it's people from the future." Not to be outdone, Edward continued to speak out his theory. "If someone from the future came to the present and created this kind of game." "It's impossible. Everyone knows the harm of changing history. In any science fiction novel, there must be rigorous planning for a time machine. I don't believe them. Will use the time machine to transform today's people in large quantities." Yi Xuan immediately rejected Edward's theory. If what he said just now is still convincing, what he said now sounds like it.Talking in sleep. "That's not right. History is now. Do you remember the Terminator? A person from the future came to the present and had a child with a person in the present. Do you think he changed history? His actions are history. It was he and That woman gave birth to a child and became the future savior. "How can film and television works count? If his father has not appeared, then how can he appear?" "If this is unreasonable, then why not." Xingren's inference is even more unreasonable." Edward shrugged his shoulders and said a little unconvinced, seemingly unhappy with Yi Xuan's rejection of his theory. "What you said reminds me that rather than people from the future creating this game now, I am more willing to believe that alien technology came to the earth to create this game, and they referenced the game content on the earth, so we have what we have now. Warcraft and so on." Yi Xuan Yujian also started to act imaginatively. The two argued for a long time, but in the end neither could convince the other. In fact, they couldn't even convince themselves. Yi Xuan was not very sure about the alien explanation, and Edward was obviously not that confident in human technology. The two just Just think about it based on your most logical conjecture. After a pause, both of them laughed inexplicably, as if they felt a little ridiculous for their childish behavior in arguing. Edward first expressed his compromise: "Forget it, instead of studying his origins, what we need to pay more attention to is now. And our future in the game." "Yes." Yi Xuan looked at the Tower of Darkness and returned to reality. Zhao Beifeng's matter was like those dark clouds, weighing heavily on his heart. "Then let's discuss what we are going to do next, attack the Dark Tower, when will we start taking action?" Edward asked. "The earlier the better." Yi Xuan said, "It's too late today. We'd better take a rest tonight and make a reasonable plan so that we can attack the Dark Tower tomorrow. So many of us want to attack the Tower of Darkness tomorrow." Moving around in the narrow terrain inside is probably not an easy task, so we must make arrangements accordingly. "Although the internal structure of the Dark Tower is grand, it is still a bit narrow for the two thousand people behind Yi Xuan and Edward. Yi Xuan looked at the players below and said: "Of course, we still have to issue some reconnaissance missions first. Now this tower has become very unfamiliar. I'm afraid we all need to understand what is going on inside." Edward points. He nodded, "Speaking of which, I remember seeing that Zhao Beifeng once before. I still have some impression of him. Is he the person who will be possessed by the God of Shadow?" "What kind of person will be possessed by the God of Shadow?" "What are you talking about?" Yi Xuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard Edward's words, and he immediately thought of the worst case scenario, but he still didn't want to believe it and said in a reproachful tone. "You don't know yet?" Edward said in surprise, "I thought you knew much more about the Shadow God Cult than I do. Don't you know that the Shadow God is going to possess someone and resurrect?" Edward said it for sure. , Yi Xuan was even more worried, "What's going on?" "This starts with a dungeon I played some time ago. The leader of that dungeon was also a member of the Shadow Cult. After defeating it, I would go to their altar. I found some classics among them. I thought they were useless, but when I opened them, I found some records about the Shadow Cult. I remember you mentioned this organization, so I paid special attention to it. The records here are very Clearly, it turns out that if the God of Shadow wants to be resurrected, he must choose someone from among his followers. Of course, he is not an ordinary person. Corresponding to the four Holy Light Elders in the Knights of Holy Light, the God of Shadow There are four great sages under his command. The selection of these four great sages must be extremely talented, powerful, and loyal to the God of Shadows. He will select the person with the strongest magic among them to possess him. This is a supreme honor for their Shadow God Cult, because when the Shadow God is resurrected, he will not only occupy the person's body, but also absorb the person's mind, which means that the possessed person will also become the Shadow God. Part of God, in fact, the God of Shadow is actually a huge combination of thoughts. His consciousness is formed by generations of dark sages, plus the evil power of the dark power itself. After knowing these things, I also deliberately inquired about the Shadow Cult. Later, I found that the only dark sage who has appeared so far is this Zhao Beifeng, so if my guess is correct, the Shadow Cult If the god wants to be resurrected, he will definitely find Zhao Beifeng. Some of the details were not clear. They were all generated by the system. However, he still held one in ten thousand hopes and asked without confidence: "But you said that the God of Shadows will absorb the possessed person." Does consciousness mean that if this person is shadowed?Being possessed by a god, you only get extra strength and the previous will, but your consciousness is still awake? " "Hahaha. "Edward laughed loudly after hearing this, seeming to be laughing at Yi Xuan's naivety. "It seems that you have really underestimated the gods in this game. Being possessed by a god will retain a part of the possessed person's will, but this will is very weak. Most of it comes from power, which means that the God of Shadow has preserved the power of his possessed people from generation to generation. As for consciousness, even if it is not discarded, it is probably completely blackened. After all, who can resist a god? Assimilation, right? " "Yixuan's face is getting worse and worse. If it is really like what Edward said, then the result of their attack is likely to be worse than what he expected at the beginning. What he is afraid of is that Zhao Beifeng will lose his memory and forget himself, but now It seems that not only is he unable to remember himself, he may have completely turned into another person. "You mean Zhao Beifeng's consciousness will be completely swallowed by him?" "Yi Xuan asked with some despair. Edward nodded, "Of course, if he is possessed, he must have no reservations, but now he should not be completely possessed, because if he has been If possessed, it means that the God of Shadows should have been resurrected, so there is no possibility for us to win. And games like this must allow players to win. If players want to win, they must win. The God of Shadow cannot be fully resurrected, so don't worry, when we arrive at Zhao Beifeng's place tomorrow, the God of Shadow will definitely not be fully resurrected. " "Is this really the case? "Yixuan took a deep breath. Although he was worried, he still held a ten thousandth of hope. "Well, I think so, but don't have too much hope, because we can't say no after we get there. That¡¯s for sure. "Edward murmured quietly. Even though it was very quiet, Yi Xuan still heard it clearly. "What did you say? " "Oh, it's nothing. "Edward said casually. "No, it won't be certain after you say it. Why do you say that? " Edward saw that Yi Xuan's eyes were so serious. He knew that Yi Xuan would not give up until he made it clear, so he had no choice but to explain: "You must have played games before. According to the general game theory, of course it is a challenge for players. The more thrilling it is, the more interested it is in attracting players. If the God of Shadows is never resurrected, even if the player defeats Zhao Beifeng, the sense of accomplishment will not be much. " "You mean" Yi Xuan has already thought of that possibility, but he is unwilling to say the cruel fact from his own mouth. "That's right, I mean that in order to make the player's experience satisfactory, in the end, the game of Shadow God should still be able to be resurrected, but only incompletely. In this way, the power has reached a certain level and is not invincible. In this way, it will be okay when he is finally defeated by the player, but the player feels that he is in danger. Winning at risk is the process a good game should have. ". "Yes, you are right. "Yixuan murmured. Although he didn't want to admit it, the step he mentioned was indeed the most likely to happen. Yi Xuan still remembered that there was a Blood God Haka in World of Warcraft, and what Edward said about the Shadow God's routine. It's exactly the same. In the 1960s, there was a dungeon called Zul'Gurub in World of Warcraft. Yi Xuan once played this dungeon, and the blood god Hakkar was the final H6 of this dungeon. God Hakkar has been defeated, but he appears again in the subsequent game plot. Therefore, the previously defeated Blood God Hakkar is obviously not the real blood god entity, but just a descending phantom. , since there are so many references to Warcraft in this game, Zhao Beifeng is likely to suffer the same thing this time, gaining a part of the power of the Shadow God and becoming extremely powerful, and finally being defeated by the player. Of course, if there is no Yi. If Xuan intervened, it would logically develop like this. Thinking of this, Yi Xuan suddenly raised his head, brushing away the depression and confusion just now, and made up his mind in his heart. Since he has his own existence, he will definitely not let Zhao Beifeng experience that. Things. Thinking of Ao, Yi Xuan said to Edward seriously: "There is one thing you must promise me. " "how? "Edward also felt Yi Xuan's mental change and asked a little strangely. "When the battle starts tomorrow, I don't care about the plot of the game. I don't care about the early progress either. I can even help you gain more limelight by then, but in the end When fighting against Zhao Beifeng, you must propose that I fight him personally and restrain the people in your alliance. " "you? Want to challenge him? Are you crazy? If it is true as I said, Zhao Beifeng will become extremely powerful, how can you be his opponent. "Edward looked unreasonable. But Yi Xuan had already made up his mind, "You don't have to worry about it. "Yixuan still had a serious look on his face, trying to make Edward understand that he was definitely not joking. "I will naturally be responsible when the time comes. Even if IIf you can't beat him, there will be no loss for you. When the time comes, it will be up to you and others, and the limelight will not be all yours. By then, your influence in the alliance will definitely be much greater than it is now. A copy of ten people is just a matter of words to you. In other words, even if I win, there will be no loss to you. Wouldn't it be better to win without any effort? what do you think? " Edward thought for a while, and there was really nothing to worry about. "I don't care, but you have to be careful and don't lose your life just to be a hero. " "rest assured. So you agreed? "Yixuan confirmed with him again. Edward nodded and suddenly looked at Yi Xuan suspiciously, "You don't have any connection with Zhao Beifeng, right? Is there something I don't know? " Yi Xuan shook his head, "You don't have to worry about this. Even if there is any contact between us, it will definitely not cause any loss to you. " Edward nodded, "You're right. Since we came to this game together, of course we won't frame each other, right? "When he said this, he carefully observed Yi Xuan's expression. The latter smiled and nodded, which was regarded as approval. Edward then said: "As for the other things, it really has nothing to do with me, but I still have to warn you. , In this game, things like gods are very evil. If Zhao Beifeng is really possessed by the God of Shadows, he will probably disown all his relatives. For the safety of my allies, if you feel that the situation is not good, you should hurry up and give me help. I send the signal so that I can bring someone up to help. Otherwise, I won't be responsible if you die. " Edward meant well, but Yi Xuan had already made up his mind, so he smiled slightly: "Don't worry, it'll be fine. " I was thinking that if I really encounter such a situation, with my current ability, escaping should not be a big problem. Just when Yi Xuan and Edward were just discussing it, suddenly, there was a sound in the sky There was a dull sound, and darkness fell from the sky like a substance, forming a huge whirlpool. This phenomenon immediately attracted everyone's attention. "Holy crap, what is going on?" "The players shouted one after another, and immediately a group of three or five people hurriedly formed a defensive formation. Some large guilds immediately stood up in formation. Those NPCl were on alert. Suddenly, in front of the Dark Tower, The situation was very tense. Yi Xuan and Edward looked at each other, rushed over, stood in front of the team, and looked at the black vortex on the Dark Tower that gradually condensed and slowly turned into a human shape. The entity, as Yi Xuan stared at it dumbfounded, gradually took on its own appearance. Oh my God, that was Zhao Beifeng, and Yi Xuan screamed in his heart, "Welcome to your doomsday, humble mortals. "The demonized voice sounded as if it came from outside, and there was no trace of Zhao Beifeng anymore. The black human figure floated in mid-air, his body shrouded in darkness, and his eyes scanned the players and the alliance empire in front of him with contempt. Heroes of the camp. "I have to say that you are very brave and dare to come here to challenge me. But unfortunately, my power has been restored, and you will all perish here and become my ghost army. " When his eyes swept across the crowd, they collided with Yi Xuan's eyes in the air. Just one moment, but Yi Xuan's whole body was shaken. His body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave for nine cold days. He was so cold that his heart felt cold. When they looked at each other just now, Yi Xuan didn't see anything human. The eyes seemed to be like a bottomless abyss, completely different from the Zhao Beifeng he knew before.
