"Okay, okay." He replied casually, then quickly hung up the phone, left the barrier, and saw Fuheishen holding a takeout box.

Faced with Fuheshen's gaze, Lilith felt embarrassed and didn't say a word. She practically snatched the takeout box and hid back in the barrier.

Fuhe Shen'er didn't linger either, after all, he still needed to save for his retirement. After so many years, he couldn't guarantee that Fuhei Hui would still recognize him as his father.

"Perhaps I should find an opportunity to see him..." Fu Heishen thought, and in a few flashes he left the area of ​​the Hongxing Palace.

Chapter 185: The Speed ​​of Time Flow? One Hundred Times!

Just as Lilith was enjoying the sushi, the strangeness of the [small world] truly began to unfold. The first person to notice the anomaly was a viewer who had been watching the live stream for half an hour and was about to go to the bathroom. However, on his way to the bathroom, he subconsciously glanced at the clock and was immediately stunned.

He noticed that the clock hands were in almost the exact same position as where he had clicked into the live stream. At first, he thought he had misread it, so he put it out of his mind and went to the bathroom.

But while he was in the bathroom, he felt something was wrong. He had clearly been in the live broadcast room for half an hour, so why hadn't the clock changed at all?

Is the clock broken?

With this question in mind, the user quickly took the clock off the wall after using the restroom and checked it, only to find that the clock was perfectly fine.

That's strange. If the clock is working fine, why is he so sensitive to time? Could it be... because of the live stream?

Before he knew it, this viewer connected his strange experience with the live stream, since it was the half hour he watched that gave him the illusion.

So, by constantly entering the live stream and keeping track of the time, this viewer got goosebumps all over his body because he discovered that the time flow in the live stream was a hundred times faster than the real time flow.

This is completely unscientific and beyond the comprehension of the viewers. Considering the realistic game graphics in the live stream and the streamer's claims of a "realistic physics engine and super-intelligent NPCs," he almost immediately made a guess:

This game might be connected to a real world!

After discovering something, the user realized that this secret was not something he could keep to himself, so he immediately logged out of the [Small World] official website, logged into the forum, and posted a thread.

The post content is as follows:

[Five words in the title]

Is there really a second world besides the one we live in? I couldn't answer that before, but now I can say with certainty: yes.

This is based on my personal experience. Today, an open-world game called "Little World" opened up beta testing opportunities. I wanted to grab a spot to play, since the game's cinematic quality is top-notch.

Unfortunately, the developers didn't mention that the game requires VR equipment, so I missed out on the test qualification. With a bit of reluctance, I scrolled through the official website and found a live streaming module, and the streamer was the player who got the closed beta qualification.

I excitedly clicked on a live stream. I remember the streamer chose the dwarf race. After discovering there was no main quest, he started shouting that he wanted to show the dwarves the world. Then he got locked up in the dungeon for causing trouble at the blacksmith shop.

...800 words omitted...

I tried many times before I discovered that the time flow in the live stream is different from that in the real world—can you believe it? I guarantee that even the most cutting-edge technology today cannot achieve this level of speed.

Therefore, I believe that this game is connected to a real world. Otherwise, do you think it is possible for a game that has just opened up testing access to be completely bug-free and have a well-developed world view?

In conclusion, this game might be the key to unlocking a higher level of human civilization; after all, gods have appeared in the CG!

The post received almost instant replies. When netizens clicked to view it, they found it was a bot advertising. Speechless, they casually clicked "dislike".

About a minute later, real comments started popping up:

Second floor: There are too many words, can someone summarize them?

Third floor: Where is the class representative?

Fourth floor: What is all this nonsense? Why don't you start from the creation myth of Pangu?

Fifth floor: Politely sorry to bother you. If you need help with computer setup, please click on my profile picture and see my first recently posted post.

……

As soon as the post was published, it was immediately taken over by a few silly comments. Seeing these comments full of sarcasm, the netizens couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

However, the [Small World] CG was only released three days ago, and its popularity was only going up. Before long, some viewers who had watched the Small World live stream and had the same doubts found this post and were greatly shocked after reading it.

Before long, the post caused quite a stir, with views skyrocketing and multiple comments popping up every second. Even passersby who had never heard of [Small World] started joining the discussion.

Because the content of the post was so outrageous, it spread like wildfire in a short period of time. Not only passersby and people familiar with [Small World], but even players who were streaming on the official website learned about the news after being alerted by their viewers.

In the live stream, fearing he would be beaten up again by passersby because of his appearance, Jackson covered his entire head with a rag he found in a garbage dump.

At this moment, while exploring the gameplay, he was reading the comments: "Ugly Bro, the game's time flow is a hundred times faster than reality..."

Seeing this comment, Jackson, a seasoned gamer, naturally explained:

"The difference between the flow of time in games and in reality is a very common technique. Game developers often do this to show the length of time in a game..."

Jackson, affectionately nicknamed "Ugly Bro" by his viewers, was talking to himself when another comment popped up. He glanced at it and froze.

"What do you mean by playing a game for half an hour, but only eighteen seconds pass in real life?"

At first, Jackson thought it was a typo by the viewers, but then more and more viewers sent the same message, which made Jackson waver a little.

"Since you all say so, then I'll end the broadcast." Jackson said, glancing at the broadcast time, and silently said "log out" in his mind.

Even at this point, Jackson still thought that his viewers were conspiring to deceive him, since they loved watching the drama unfold and the streamer was happy to create entertaining moments.

However, when Jackson exited the live stream and logged out of the game, he looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen and froze in place.

Noon, 12:05.

Jackson clearly remembered that he entered the game at 12:02 noon, and only three minutes had passed in between?

But he clearly saw it before he quit the game: the live stream lasted a full eight hours!

During those eight hours, Jackson clearly felt the passage of time. Because of his appearance, he was inexplicably beaten up by several passersby, which attracted some viewers who jokingly called him "Ugly Bro."

It was only because a fellow player pointed it out that Jackson realized his ugly character model would be disliked by NPCs. He sighed inwardly at how realistic the game was and covered his head with a rag.

But now you're telling him this isn't a hardcore game, but a real world? How can anyone believe that?!

But who is Jackson? As a seasoned game enthusiast, he has fantasized more than once that the world in games could be real, and now, his dream has come true.

Not only that, one second in the real world is equal to one hundred seconds in the miniature world. In other words, he has experienced this game for thousands of years! A true second life!

"Mom, my dream has come true...!" Jackson's eyes welled up with tears, but he quickly realized that staying in reality for too long might cause his character in the small world to die inexplicably, so he hurriedly logged back into the game.

Chapter 186: The Attention of the High-Ranking Spellcasters

What does it mean if the time span of a game world is one hundred times that of the real world? It means that one year in reality is equivalent to one hundred years in the game world.

While this may not sound like a big deal, what if it's a terminally ill patient with less than a year to live?

In the game, his lifespan is extended to one hundred years, a hundred years enough for him to say goodbye to his family and make up for his regrets.

Furthermore, there are many scientists in history who died young or were plagued by illness. If the physical rules of the small world are the same as those of the real world, they will make more contributions to human development during their greatly extended lifespan.

If all the top scientists were sent into the game to conduct research, then without a doubt, human technology would advance rapidly, and many ideas that people had envisioned in their lifetime would have enough time to be realized and enter people's lives.

Therefore, when news broke that the time flow in the small world was a hundred times that of the real world, not only did many ordinary people notice this, but even the Japanese government took notice of it.

The Department of Curses is a special department; the higher-ups in curses refer to them.

The highest-ranking official in this department, the "Director of Curses," is appointed by the Prime Minister of Japan, but the candidate must be recommended by the Gojo family, the Kamo family, or the Zenin family; even the government cannot unilaterally appoint him.

After the game "Small World" suddenly became a hit, the higher-ups in the Spellcasting organization immediately believed that this was a curse event with an impact far exceeding their imagination, after all, the idea that the game world was a real world was too incredible.

Compared to this, "a special cursed event" is more reasonable.

Posts about "small world time flow" are now spreading virally online, and more and more people will know about it over time.

If left unchecked, it will inevitably lead to a massive death event that will attract worldwide attention. In order to end this unknown curse, the higher-ups of the sorcery remembered Gojo Satoru, the sharpest sword in their hands.

Although Gojo Satoru often disobeys orders, her strength is undeniable, giving her the right to be capricious. The fact that this curse incident could spread so rapidly online indicates that it is definitely not of a low level. To be on the safe side, the higher-ups in the curse management entrusted the task of removing the curse to Gojo Satoru.

In the conference room of the Jujutsu Director, Gojo Satoru arrived as invited. She sat in the middle chair, surrounded by Japanese-style screens that seemed to be scrutinizing her.

When the higher-ups in the sorcery class informed Gojo Satoru of the mission and the seriousness of the situation, Gojo Satoru simply put his hands in his pockets and nonchalantly replied:

"I said, after that incident, the number of cursed spirits in Japan has dropped to an all-time low. The number of people who choke to death on water each year is probably less than the number killed by cursed spirits. Are you so sure that this incident was caused by cursed spirits?"

After these words, the meeting room fell silent for a moment. Gojo Satoru, through the thin screen, saw the blurry black figure pause for a moment, then speak with displeasure:

"How utterly disrespectful! Even if this isn't a curse, we're doing this for the safety of all the Japanese people. Just follow orders and don't ask too many questions."

"For the sake of all the Japanese people? It's more about family interests, isn't it? Do you really think I don't know your true colors?"

Gojo Satoru didn't hesitate to expose the ugly faces of the high-ranking members of the sorcery class. They talked about righteousness and the people, but in reality, their power to arbitrarily execute top-level sorcerers and their status second only to the Prime Minister of Japan made them corrupt and conservative, and their words were filled with deep arrogance.

You have to understand, Gojo Satoru could kill everyone present with a single punch, yet they still dare to speak to him in such a tone. It is the power they wield that gives them their confidence.

Of course, they are still alive now only because Gojo Satoru wants to play with them. Once Gojo Satoru no longer wants to play, all of these corrupt old guys in the higher echelons of the jutsu will be purged.

Gojo Satoshi still remembers that hot summer of 2006, and the girl who died with regrets, a memory that still haunts her.

In the end, Gojo Satoshi took on the task, because if even she didn't take care of it, then no one would.

Leaving the Jujutsu Director's meeting room, Gojo Satoru headed straight for the Jujutsu High School, to Itadori Yuuhito's dormitory.

Speaking of which, Gojo Satoru learned about the game "Small World" through a banter between Itadori Yuujin and Fushiguro Megumi. After hearing about the game from Itadori Yuujin, she became quite interested.

When the beta test slots were being distributed, he didn't expect the game to require VR equipment. Although he often played games and used to stay up all night playing them when he was younger, he had lost interest in games over the years and didn't have VR equipment at home, thus missing out on the beta test qualification.

But this is not a problem for Gojo Satoru. As the head of the Gojo family, it is not difficult for him to spend a few hundred million or tens of millions to buy a test qualification from someone else.

However, Gojo Satoru initially thought that the need for VR equipment in the "small world" was to quickly lock in the game audience, but now it seems that it might be to guard against sorcerers with superhuman reaction abilities like her.

"This is getting more and more exciting," Gojou Satoru murmured. Having arrived at Itadori Yuujin's dorm room, she cleared her throat, knocked on the door, and called out:

"Yujin~ Open the door quickly, I have something important to tell you."

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

Three seconds passed, and there was no response from inside the door. There were no footsteps or the sound of a lock being opened, as if there was no one inside at all.

However, the physique of a sorcerer has been enhanced in all aspects. As the strongest sorcerer in the modern world, Gojo Satoru, not to mention having six eyes, naturally has hearing that has become so acute that it has reached a transcendent level.

She twitched her ears and heard breathing and heartbeats coming from inside the door; Itadori Hisahito was clearly in the dormitory.

"They must be doing something shady," Gojo Satoru thought, his eyes darting around, a malicious smile suddenly appearing on his lips.

"Yujin~ If you don't say anything, I'll come in." She greeted him insincerely at first, but the moment she finished speaking, she gripped the doorknob. With a "click," the lock shattered, and she burst into the room, shouting:

"Alright, Yuujin, I've got you covered. If you don't buy me pudding, this might become the talk of the whole school~"

Gojo Satoru had already figured out what kind of mysterious ritual Itadori Yuujin was performing, and planned to use it to extort money from Itadori. Although she wasn't short of money, the sweets she got this way tasted better than the ones she bought directly... It seemed that someone's sense of shame and integrity were added to the experience.
