Chapter 109 Painter (4k chapter, in )
Even though Wu Chang was used to big scenes, he couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this number.
Five million players, what does this number mean?
His player number is 4444444. According to the most common assumptions, the number will be recycled and reissued after each player dies.
The actual number of players will not be much more than their player numbers.
The sudden increase of five million players means that the number of players in the game has doubled, and it also means that there are suddenly five million more people who know the truth in reality.
All existing systems will be impacted, and the control of several major forces will be at its weakest.
Will we be able to keep the information about the Abyss Game tightly blocked like we do now?
The Abyss Game is different from the Lord God Game. It does not mind its existence being known to ordinary people.
Once the existence of the Abyss Game is revealed, reality will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes.
Wu Chang still remembers the first law of mysticism in Moonlight Sanatorium.
Human cognition is one of the origins of the existence of mysticism. The more people believe in its existence, the stronger its power becomes.
The influx of a large number of new players was like breaking through the information blockade, allowing ordinary people to begin to understand the Abyss game.
People's belief in the Abyss game is likely to accelerate the expansion of the Abyss game and lead to further absorption of players.
The cycle repeats itself until the era of the Great Abyss game arrives.
How can we obtain sufficient original accumulation before the era comes?
There is a saying that goes, if you stand in the right place, even a pig can fly.
The upcoming world copy will undoubtedly be the hot spot for Abyss games.
Zhao Yan's meaning was very clear. If Wu Chang could seize this opportunity, he might be able to take the lead and make a difference in the future.
"Thank you, instructor."
Wu Chang nodded, thinking that Zhao Yan was a good person and could get along with others.
When the two came out of the lounge, they happened to see Jian Xing and the Negotiation Master appear in the waiting hall.
As soon as they appeared, they instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The previous conflict between Zhao Yan and Mianhua had become known to everyone. In order to prevent strange rumors from spreading, Lin Jiang could only reveal that the Sword Star strategy was progressing smoothly and everything was going as planned.
And according to the current progress, Jianxing’s future is limitless.
Seeing the real owner show up, people flocked over, wanting to take a closer look at these two talented players of the younger generation.
Especially Jian Xing, if he could get an autograph, when Jian Xing becomes a big shot in the administration in the future, he would be able to brag about his autograph for the rest of his life.
However, before the players surrounded the waiting hall, the Evolutionary Faction members had already held off the crowd and escorted Sword Star and the Master of Negotiation into the lounge.
Entering the lounge, Lin Jiang, who was trying hard to suppress a smile, came forward first. Behind Lin Jiang, followed Director Gao, who was congratulating him with a smile, and Lei Huo and Meng Yawen, who had expressionless faces.
The last person standing was Xu Dejun with a kind smile on his face.
Looking at this scene, Jian Xing's heart skipped a beat and he thought something bad was going to happen.
Lin Jiang asked as if he was showing off his own talented child, "Jian Xing, your trip to the dungeon has touched the hearts of many people. Elder Xu and Director Gao have given a lot of support to you in order to successfully complete the dungeon."
"Tell me quickly, what realm did you break through to this time, and how did you manage to complete the dungeon so quickly?"
Jianxing looked at the negotiation master for help, but the negotiation master looked up at the sky and toward the corner, pretending not to notice Jianxing's gaze.
In desperation, Jian Xing could only bite the bullet and say:
"I didn't clear the dungeon. I have no idea what happened in it."
As soon as these words were spoken, time seemed to stand still in the lounge. Everyone, including Director Gao and other members of the Order Faction, remained in their current posture without moving, their brains working rapidly.
They were thinking about what Jian Xing meant by this sentence. Was it a new way of being modest, or was he trying to hide something? It couldn't be that he meant it literally.
Seeing this, the negotiation master was no longer satisfied with looking up at the sky, and turned around with his back to everyone.
If the situation did not allow it, she would definitely run away.
Lin Jiang's intuition has always been sharp. He sensed an ominous aura, but he could only force a smile on his face and asked:
"Jian Xing, do you mean that the Quiet Town dungeon will collapse on its own without your intervention?"
Jian Xing shook his head, completely extinguishing everyone's hope.
"I was matched with that mysterious newcomer in this dungeon. He completed all the strategies for the dungeon by himself. When the Negotiation Master came in, I hadn't even figured out the main quest of the dungeon. I thought the dungeon was about to collapse. The Negotiation Master can testify to this."
Jian Xing certainly couldn't let the negotiation master hide alone in the back, so he immediately pulled her in.
The negotiation master who was dragged to the front of the stage reluctantly looked down from the ceiling and chuckled dryly at the few people.
"Jianxing is right."
Ten minutes later, everyone in the lounge finally accepted this reality.
Jianxing has not made a super breakthrough, and they are still some distance away from having their own rookie monster.
At the same time, their desire for the mysterious newcomer became more intense.
They previously thought that the newcomer had cleared the level by using his superb ability to explore the copy plot, skillful application of copy rules, and certain special skills to overcome difficulties with a small margin.
It now seems that their inference was completely wrong, and the newcomer was the opposite of what they had guessed.
He is a pure inhuman being, just a man with great strength who can send bricks flying.
But this one is even better. Who can resist the temptation of numerical monsters?
While feeling regretful, Xu Dejun was also thinking about the current situation.
The results of the Quiet Town copy were somewhat different from what they had expected, but the ending was always good.
As long as Jianxing can complete the job change safely, there is still hope for the future.
The only problem is that the matter was suppressed before, largely due to Jian Xing's breakthrough at the last minute. Otherwise, Director Gao would not have accepted the settlement so easily.
But now the breakthrough is false, so the problem becomes complicated.
They must be compensated some more.
Xu Dejun thought for a moment and said, "Shi Ning's lecture tour has just arrived in Wanghai City. Jianxing, you will go to Wanghai with the lecture tour team. Before the job transfer mission is completed, you will stay with Director Gao and guide the few newcomers you are involved with."
Jian Xing lowered his head and replied, "Yes."
As the person in charge of Wanghai City, Director Gao is different from Jianxing in that he focuses on the first half.
"Mr. Xu, is Professor Shi's lecture coming to the second-tier cities?"
Shi Ning, a professor at Yan University, is currently giving lectures on topics related to consciousness and energy.
The content mainly focuses on the mutual attraction between consciousness and energy, mass hysteria similar to the Mandela effect, and the possibility of the existence of parallel worlds.
Ostensibly it was a scientific lecture, but in reality it was an explanation of recent abnormal phenomena around the world, while paving the way for the public disclosure of extraordinary abilities.
Shi Ning's speeches used to be held in first-tier cities, but unexpectedly he would choose Wanghai this time.
Xu Dejun sighed, "There's nothing we can do. Chaos is coming, and the existence of the Abyss Game can no longer be hidden. Rather than facing the Abyss Game without any defense, it's better to let people know about it so that they can be more accepting of it in the future."
Jian Xing's question came to an end, Xu Dejun talked about some recent arrangements, and then prepared to leave. Seeing this, Lin Jiang stood up and prepared to leave together, but Director Gao grabbed Lin Jiang's sleeve.
"Brother Lin, you seem to have forgotten something."
Lin Jiang looked at Director Gao in confusion and asked, "What did I forget?"
Director Gao smiled and looked harmless. He said:
"Brother Lin, do you still remember the promise I made before? If Quiet Town can achieve a perfect clearance, I will give everyone some benefits. When the forced portal was opened, I asked the dungeon master to bring a detector in. The detector just sent back the result that Quiet Town has indeed achieved a perfect clearance. Aren't we waiting to share in your good fortune?"
Lin Jiang frowned, feeling very puzzled.
"That's because Jian Xing achieved a perfect clearance, so I..."
Before Lin Jiang could finish speaking, Lei Huo had already projected a video onto the big screen in the lounge.
"If the Quiet Town can achieve a perfect clearance, I will give each of them 10,000 decayed silver coins as compensation. Not only them, but everyone present will also get a share, and we will all be happy. In addition, I will give each of them the authority to enter a mid-level reward dungeon. What do you think, Director Gao?"
Director Gao coughed lightly and said a little embarrassedly:
"You don't seem to have added this restriction. Old Xu is still watching here. People in our Administration have always kept their promises. I, Gao, can run naked around Baishui Bay for a joke. Now when I come to Brother Lin, I won't want to deny it, right?"
"You!" Lin Jiang was so angry at Director Gao that he was speechless. He turned to look at Xu Dejun.
Xu Dejun closed his eyes and said nothing.
Not expressing an opinion is already a statement.
Lin Jiang gritted his teeth and said, "Gao Wenju, you are great. Okay, we are in the wrong this time, I admit it."
Lin Jiang turned around and was about to leave, but when he took a step, his body stopped where he was.
He turned around to look at Director Gao who was still holding him, and asked unhappily, "What else?"
Director Gao said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Words are not enough, Brother Lin, please write a written document."
Inside a private art gallery.
A melancholy literary man walked out of a huge scroll. Behind him, the huge scroll burned and turned into ashes.
The space item, Painting of the World, disappeared completely as the effect of the last time the dungeon was exhausted.
The artistic man caught a piece of burning ash and put it into his mouth, chewing it carefully.
At the end of the copy, he felt an aura similar to that in the Huishi scroll.
He has already located the aura of the spatial prop. As long as he gets it, he can continue to travel through various copies and witness scenes of art.
Just as he was feeling the aura of another space prop, the door of the art gallery behind him was pushed open heavily, and seven or eight men in robes rushed in.
The leader was a skinny man with a shaved head like a boiled egg, runes tattooed all over his body, and wrapped in a white cloth covered with scriptures.
The man came up to the artistic man with an angry look on his face and asked loudly:
"Painter, why does my mission progress show that the treasure contender has completed a trial! We spent so much money to hire you to do this, but you can't even do such a small thing. Do you think that our Tranquility Sect's money is for nothing?"
The artistic man called Painter frowned. He hated rude and disrespectful guys.
Especially on this mission, faced with so many artistic emotions, he was unable to save and record any of them, which was really frustrating.
When he's in a bad mood, he becomes less friendly.
The painter took a white canvas and outlined a mouth with a few strokes.
With a snap, the seven or eight bodyguards behind Lu Dan collectively lost their upper bodies and turned into fountains of blood.
The texture of the broken flesh was rough, and there were visible signs of teeth marks, as if half of the body had been bitten off by a huge creature.
The marinated egg instantly turned into a boiled egg. He took a few steps back with a pale face and said in a trembling voice:
"You can't do this to us! I paid for it!"
As a candidate for the Son of Heaven of the Tranquility Sect, Lu Dan's bodyguards are all elite players carefully selected from the Tranquility Church.
Everyone's level is over level 20. Although they have received the Lord's blessing and burned their potential, making it impossible for them to make further progress, in terms of current combat power, none of them is weaker than him.
Moreover, they are fearless and can exert strength beyond their own capabilities.
But the painter crushed them to death as easily as stepping on a group of ants.
Now, Lu Dan understood why the archbishop told him not to make the painter angry.
The painter walked up to Lu Dan, pointed to the sign at the entrance of the art gallery, and asked with a smile:
"Did you see what's written on it?"
Lu Dan nodded desperately, "I see, this is a private place, no noise allowed."
The painter turned back to his easel, replaced the canvas with a new one and said slowly:
"I like religion because it uses various rules to restrain human nature. The tighter they restrain, the stronger the desires and emotions that erupt when they are released."
“Desire and emotion are the brightest lights in the human soul, and they are also the art I pursue. If you can’t even learn the most basic rules, you don’t even qualify to be the material of art.”
Lu Dan said quickly: "You are right. I will definitely learn it when I go back."
The painter picked up his brush and began to paint. He painted very quickly, as if he was printing out the image directly in his mind.
"Don't worry, I won't let your money go to waste. People nowadays are impatient. You should enjoy the process of doing things instead of just focusing on the results."
Lu Dan was waiting on the side, nodding his head rapidly.
Yes, yes, you are right. If I had known you were so capable, I would have put on shoe covers before coming in, not to mention making loud noises.
Ten minutes later, a painting as detailed as a photo was completed.
The painter waved his hand and called the boiled egg to his front, then pinched the boiled egg's chin and poked the rolled-up painting directly into the boiled egg's throat.
Such a huge object squeezed into the throat, causing tears to instantly flow from the corners of Lu Dan's eyes and he let out a whimpering scream.
When Lu Dan swallowed the entire painting, he fell to the ground with a scream, his body twitching uncontrollably.
With every twitch, part of the pattern will emerge on the body surface.
The pattern that emerged was exactly the painting the painter had just made.
The painter squatted beside the boiled egg and patted the boiled egg on the face.
"I told you that I won't let your money go to waste. Don't try to take out the thing I stuffed into your body. It's a B-level copy that has gone out of control. It's a work I'm quite satisfied with. You can't buy it outside no matter how much money you spend."
"You want to kill Jian Xing, right? Follow the instructions and find Jian Xing in reality. When you meet it, it will explode and go out of control in reality."
The painter's eyes showed anticipation. "A B-level out-of-control copy that suddenly erodes reality, isn't it interesting? Is it worth the money?"
"The most important thing is, whether I succeed or not, I won't have to see your face again."
It is not easy to separate the plot of this chapter, so I will post it together
