Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 309 The Great Adventure

People often need a process of accepting and absorbing things that are beyond their knowledge.

This is especially true when it comes to other people's secrets.

Tonight, the siblings had a truth-or-dare segment.

However, the amount of information exchanged was too large.

It's impossible to expect Wu Xiaoyou to understand everything immediately.

For her now, the existence of the Spirit Disaster game and its players is merely a conceptual construct.

The sense of reality wasn't very strong.

Similarly, her identity as an assassin was also relevant to Wu Wang.

My second sister is usually so gentle and understanding.

The absurdity of this identity is all the more intense.

The more you learn secrets from people you know well, the more you discover secrets beyond your current understanding.

The longer the acceptance period, the better.

Therefore, Wu Wang planned to go with his second sister to the so-called "post office" to cancel the mission.

After all, seeing is believing.

Amidst the siblings' playful banter and understanding...

Experience firsthand the life that originally belonged solely to the second sister's identity as an assassin.

This helps him to fill in the image of his second sister more concretely in his mind.

This is quite necessary.

Of course, my sister is also experiencing the lifestyle benefits of being a player of the Spirit Disaster.

It just means she can't enter the instance world.

However, contact with other players is unavoidable.

That makes sense.

Anyway, the public beta will be available in about a week.

Logically speaking, when a game goes into open beta, it means that account access will be made available to the public.

At that time, the existence of the Spirit Disaster game will inevitably be impossible to conceal.

It will be presented to the public in its most complete form.

There have been three distinct technological revolutions in human history.

First, there was the improvement and widespread application of the steam engine. Watt's improvement of the steam engine marked the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, which propelled human society from agricultural civilization to industrial civilization and accelerated the urbanization process.

Secondly, the widespread adoption of electricity and the invention of the internal combustion engine marked the Second Industrial Revolution, also known as the "Electrical Revolution." This revolution made mass production possible, leading to the formation of the modern industrial system and accelerating globalization.

Finally, the birth of computers, the internet, and digital technologies marked the arrival of the "information revolution," which ushered human society into the information and digital age, and made global economic connections unprecedentedly close.

Beyond these three clearly defined technological revolutions.

There is still some debate about whether artificial intelligence (AI), along with big data, the Internet of Things and 5G communication, quantum computing, biotechnology, green energy, and sustainable development technologies, can be considered as humanity's current fourth "intelligent revolution."

However, these are controversies within the academic community.

All of these will be finalized in the public beta test seven days from now.

Because the "Spiritual Disaster Revolution" is an inevitable outcome.

It will also determine whether humanity will have a future to continue recording these histories.

In any case, Wu could not stop this revolutionary historical process.

Instead of trying to stop the wheels of history.

Perhaps it would be better to let my second sister get used to this outcome sooner rather than later.

Make all the necessary mental and even physical preparations to face the rolling wheels that will carry humanity into a more distant future.

This candid session didn't just end after the exchange.

A grand adventure is the ultimate way to understand each other.

So, on the streets of the capital.

Two men, their whereabouts concealed, headed to a certain place side by side.

Unknown voices were communicating among them—

"Good evening, kid. I can finally talk to you. I've been watching you for so long. Let me introduce myself."

"I am the great Ouija board spirit!"

"Considering your fairly serious work attitude, I can barely accept you as my subordinate!"

That's the voice of the Ouija board.

Previously, it had done so at Wu Wang's request.

He closely monitored Wu Xiaoyou's safety in real life.

Now that the two have revealed their secret to each other.

The Ouija board spirit can finally step out from the shadows and greet everyone in the open.

Perhaps they had been oppressed by Wu for a long time.

Its temperament is indeed somewhat repressed.

I can't wait to find a way to vent.

For example, it might recruit a henchman to order others around and enjoy the thrill of being a boss.

The target, naturally, is the little devil inside Wu Xiaoyou.

Normal people cannot hear the conversations of ghosts and spirits.

It also doesn't need to worry about any problems arising from conversations on the street.

After all, not everyone can see through the Yin and Yang realms with the naked eye like Wu Xiaoyou.

"Who are you calling a brat! You rude fellow! I have a name, Nie Xiaoqian!"

"You think I'm your underling? Do you know my young lady already knew you were around? The fact that she didn't kill you with a single slap is purely out of respect for Young Master Wu!"

A wisp of black smoke rose from Wu Xiaoyou's shoulder.

It reveals a petite and delicate face.

Her clothes, made of antique silk and satin, clearly belonged to a young lady from a wealthy family in ancient times.

She stood on Wu Xiaoyou's shoulder like a miniature doll, only the size of a palm.

Sticking out his tongue and making faces at the Ouija board.

Of course, this Nie Xiaoqian is not the one from supernatural novels or film and television works.

Wu Xiaoyou gave her the name.

“My young lady is the pillar of this manor, working tirelessly every day to ensure the livelihood of the family.”

"If anyone's going to be a subordinate, it'll be you being my subordinate!"

As Wu Xiaoyou's ghost, she was unwilling to bow down to other ghosts.

Hearing these remarks.

The spirit of the Ouija board was in a foul mood.

He grumbled and said, "I was appointed as a military officer by the Emperor in the thirty-first year of the Guangxu Emperor's reign. In terms of official rank, I am higher than you. You should kneel down before me!"

"?"

Nie Xiaoqian tilted her head in confusion.

She obviously didn't understand the reference to this famous scene.

Perhaps they haven't seen the movie "Let the Bullets Fly".

The spirit continued, "Anyway, what I mean is, at the fundamental level, I am far superior to you! If you're so capable, don't rely on your connections!"

"You call your young lady busy day and night? Wasn't my bastard busy before?!"

The previous statement wasn't entirely unfounded.

It serves as a ghost item capable of providing [Skill Evolution Guidance].

It is naturally much stronger than the other party, which is a ghost formed from the resentment of a mortal who died in reality.

But Nie Xiaoqian was still unconvinced.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master Wu used to spend most of his time playing computer games in his room. What was he busy with?"

Suddenly, the Ouija board's expression turned serious.

He said in a serious tone, "He's busy trying to find a balance between Cyber ​​Mom's income and expenses between Valorant and CS:GO."

Nie Xiaoqian: "?"

Before she could recover from her dazed state...

The spirit continued, "And he's the one who uses a voice changer to play the healer and likes to prank other people's mothers. He's also the one who quickly wears down other people's mothers by typing and exchanging insults. He won twice."

“That…that’s very lifelike.” Nie Xiaoqian’s voice gradually lowered.

Because she suddenly remembered what kind of person Young Master Wu was.

He was a man who commanded respect.

His style of doing things and his ability to abstract concepts are indeed unmatched by ordinary people.

"No! We're discussing serious matters! What does this have to do with Mom?" Nie Xiaoqian was about to lower her head when she suddenly realized, "I don't sense any connection between your soul and the young master at all! Your status is clearly lower than mine!"

Generally speaking, Wu Xiaoyou raises a little ghost like Nie Xiaoqian.

Naturally, one must be able to form a bond with the other person's soul.

She didn't just randomly grab a little devil and forcibly detain it by her side.

Instead, it was by chance that he helped Nie Xiaoqian fulfill her long-cherished wish many years ago.

She persuaded the other party to voluntarily stay by her side as a maid.

Nie Xiaoqian gave a part of her soul to Wu Xiaoyou's soul.

In this way, Nie Xiaoqian's soul can settle down in her body and will not mistakenly absorb Wu Xiaoyou's essence and spirit.

These things happened many years ago.

That's a completely different story now.

However, this practice differs from the Northern school's "Guardian Spirits" and "Shamanic Spirits," which worship deities and venerate spirits and monsters as supreme immortals.

It's clear that humans have a higher status than ghosts in Wu Xiaoyou's group.

Of course, there is also a more extreme approach.

Naturally, this means forcibly storing or deliberately raising them.

Suppressing ghosts with tools or raising and controlling them with evil methods.

Ghosts in this state usually don't maintain a clear sense of self like Nie Xiaoqian.

It can only be used to harm people.

For example, the Kuman Thong from the neighboring country or the Ten Thousand Soul Banner in some cultivation novels are all like this.

Nie Xiaoqian did not sense any connection between the Ouija board and Wu Wang's soul.

Naturally, it was considered to be the latter kind of evil entity.

The dignified Ouija board spirit is being compared to the Kumanthong (a type of spirit doll).

It was so angry that it gritted its teeth and retorted, "There's no need for any ties between me and that bastard!"

"I can leave here anytime once I complete five merits!"

Nie Xiaoqian was stunned.

"Merit...merit?"

In her bewildered gaze.

The spirit of the pen recounted the merits Wu had promised to achieve in liberating the system.

Wu Xiaoyou, who was on her way, suddenly turned her head.

He looked at Wu Wang with an extremely strange expression.

Because, like Nie Xiaoqian, she believed that the Ouija board spirit was a ghost forcibly detained by Wu Wang.

Now it seems……

Its status is even lower than that of forced detention.

Chun Chun was a simpleton who was completely fooled and kept in the dark.

What's that saying again? "When an ox is tired, it will rest; when a horse is tired, it will collapse."

[And you, my friend, you buy yourself coffee when you're tired from work—you're the chosen one!]

This is what makes workplace PUA (Pick-Up Artist) so despicable.

Wu Wang gave this a sheepish smile.

The knowing look on his face made the second sister sigh and rub her forehead.

How can this kid be so cunning and wicked?

They even lie to ghosts!

And the Ouija board spirit is now even laughing smugly, "Hmph! Did you hear that? I am equal to humans!"

After saying that, it saw a look of pity in Nie Xiaoqian's eyes.

The other person floated over and touched the pen cap of the Ouija board.

He said, as if to comfort her, "Okay, okay, it's good that you can think positively."

"Sweetie, let's get along peacefully from now on."

"Arguing with someone like you who's been manipulated by PUA makes my lady seem even kinder."

Nie Xiaoqian had no idea when the Ouija board spirit had arrived at this house.

But she had known Wu Wang for many years while staying by Wu Xiaoyou's side.

How could this young master let the Ouija board spirit escape so easily?

If nothing unexpected happens.

Those five merits will gradually become major and minor merits.

Small merits can be exchanged for large merits after a certain number of times.

When he's just one minor achievement away from succeeding, Young Master Wu will definitely create some kind of merit fragment.

It's basically about constantly refining things down.

It's like the "cut-and-slash" tactic used by Pinduoduo.

It will always keep adding up the digits after the decimal point.

It seems I'll be spending a lot of time with this pen.

There's no need to get angry with an idiot.

"What CPU?" the spirit asked, puzzled.

Wu Wang interrupted, "It's nothing. She said KFC. Tomorrow is Crazy Thursday. It's probably Second Sister's little devil who wants you to V50 with her."

He then grabbed the Ouija board and stuffed it into his pocket to hide it.

Because my second sister pouted.

This indicates that the destination is not far ahead.

Nie Xiaoqian jumped back onto Wu Xiaoyou's shoulder.

It transformed into a wisp of black mist, imperceptible to ordinary people, and merged into her body.

For organizations like the post office that operate in a gray area.

Wu Wang had another theory.

Even now that Wu Xiaoyou knows about the existence of the Spirit Disaster Game.

I also have a new perspective on the place where I have worked for many years.

That is-

Is there a leadership relationship between the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs and the Post Office?

The reason for this suspicion is quite simple.

The bounty system in the "Post Office" game is basically designed for individuals involved in gray areas across various sectors of the country.

In a sense, this organization is even on the side of social justice.

And because of the Spirit Disaster game.

Many players gained extraordinary abilities after that.

The first thing they would do is to gain wealth and enjoyment in the real world.

Humans are creatures that like to take shortcuts.

Even with extraordinary powers, there are probably not many people who simply use those powers to make money steadily and reliably.

This means that some players may acquire their wealth in ways that are less than shady.

Fortunately, China has the Bureau of Extraordinary Events overseeing things.

It was like a Damocles' sword hanging over the heads of these players.

So even if they use shady methods, they won't make a big show of it.

The problem is that even if players use extraordinary powers to acquire wealth...

His methods of making money and clearing accounts inevitably involve contact with ordinary people of high status in the gray area.

So once a player with malicious intentions is caught or has a bounty placed on their head by the Bureau of Strange Events...

He will be like the tangled roots of an old tree.

This has brought to light a group of people who were unaware of the existence of the Necropolis players and were simply involved in shady businesses.

These guys will definitely be implicated and suppressed as well.

However, the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs cannot afford to go to the trouble of investigating and dealing with a group of ordinary people.

This is not their job.

The focus of the Bureau of Strange Events has always been on the player group.

Therefore, in order to deal with ordinary people involved in the blacklist of players.

The existence of the post office arose as a result.

If the Bureau of Strange Events is the scabbard that limits the sharpness of the sword used by the state to restrict players.

The post office is like a watchful eye, overseeing all gray-market activities.

Of course, the above are speculations by Wu Wang and Wu Xiaoyou.

If everything really is as these siblings think.

The post office is most likely a subordinate department of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

"So, after all this, Second Sister, you're practically a civil servant?"

In response to Wu Wang's teasing.

Wu Xiaoyou simply rolled her eyes and pushed the door open to enter.

They entered a tavern located in a secluded alley.

I don't know if it's for the convenience of concealment and gathering information.

It seems that the post office in every city is located in a place like a pub or dance hall.

Arrive at the bar.

Wu Xiaoyou displayed a cold expression that Wu Wang had never seen before.

He took a banknote folded into a five-pointed star from his pocket and handed it over.

He said, "I'd like a cup of Lycoris radiata at 100 degrees Celsius."

Under the bartender's unmoved gaze.

She pointed at Wu Wang and said, "Give him a glass of zero-degree fruit beer."

This time, the other person's expression finally changed somewhat.

He bent down and said, "Please follow me, both of you."

He then led the two through the noisy crowd.

Arrive at the warehouse-like area behind the tavern.

He felt his way through the wall to find a hidden door.

Wu Wang was surprised to find that the door contained a device that could recognize fingerprints, pupils, and even a device called "Bio-Mental Scan".

The last one was clearly some kind of supernatural disaster artifact that transcended real-world technology.

After the bartender verified the information, he opened the door.

He said respectfully, "I wish you both all the best."

After saying that, he turned and left, closing the warehouse door behind him.

Wu Xiaoyou explained her actions just now: "The five-pointed star banknote and the 100-degree mark indicate that I am a postman, here to process task information."

"The Red Spider Lily is my code name."

After entering the room, Wu Wang felt a sense of weightlessness as the elevator descended and asked, "What about Zero Degree and Fruit Beer?"

The second sister smiled mischievously.

He joked, "This shows you're a newcomer I brought into the industry; it's your first time reporting to the post office today."

Hearing his second sister's words, Wu Wang smiled helplessly.

But his eyes showed a hint of excitement.

Because he also noticed points that matched his predictions.

“Miss Higanbana, that bartender just now—was a player.”

When Wu Wang uttered the last three words, one by one.

Wu Xiaoyou's expression also became quite interesting.

She hadn't expected the players from the Calamity to be so close to her!

"How did you know?" she asked in surprise.

Wu Wang pointed to his wrist.

He grinned and said, "The Abyss God is great, no need for further explanation."

"I figured out his ID. This person is called [Miracle Walker] and is currently level 10. He must not be doing well in dungeons, so his level is low. I guess he is still in the grinding stage."

Ever since the last time the red vertical pupils absorbed a portion of the power of the [Seed of Despair].

It seems that the [Vision of Truth] has evolved once again.

Wu is now face to face with him.

You can see a player's nickname and level directly without their consent or permission!

This means that the previous speculation was correct!

There are indeed players in the [Post Office] who are affected by the Spirit Disaster!

That makes it even more likely that it's related to the Bureau of Extraordinary Events!
bang——

The elevator stopped after descending a certain distance.

As the gate opened.

A special tavern belonging exclusively to the [Post Office] was revealed to the siblings.

Before Wu Xiaoyou could take Wu Wang to the place where the mission request was processed...

Then they noticed that the kid's gaze was fixed on someone deep inside the tavern.

His expression turned somewhat strange.

"Why is he here?"

"Who is it?" Wu Xiaoyou obviously couldn't call out the name "brother" in this kind of place.

After all, their identities are a secret to outsiders.

However, Wu Wang did not answer this question.

He just kept walking forward on his own.

He said two inexplicable things to Wu Xiaoyou—

"Miss Lycoris Radiata, please wait here for a moment."

"I have a speech to give in this beer hall about how a loaf of bread can sell for 500,000 marks."

It’s such a small world.

Wu Wang never expected to meet the other party here.

This is truly time for a great adventure!
