Hyperdimensional game! The ultimate aesthetics of violent wizards

Chapter 270: Heading Towards the Abyss

The inspector's responsibility is to maintain the fairness and justice of the gaming environment. His job is to eliminate bugs and loopholes in the system and to report and punish players who maliciously exploit bugs and loopholes. He can be said to be the maintainer of gaming order.

But don’t forget how the inspectors were selected and what the inspectors’ predecessors were.

To put it bluntly, those who can become inspectors are all serious "violators" without exception.

The reason why the official recruits players who discover game bugs or loopholes as inspectors is because these players are good at finding various loopholes and have a keen intuition about bugs.

If we leave these people alone, they might do more harm than good, so the authorities simply recruited them as their own people, and then let them supervise other players and deal with other "violations".

After all, when it comes to "violations," no one knows more about them than these inspectors.

Just now, Rhine has found a logical loophole in the system, but he doesn't know if it will work.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Beatrice asked, looking at Rhine who was lost in thought.

"No, it's nothing."

"It's just that the process of awakening the dragon egg consumes a lot of mental energy." Rhine shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

"Ah! I'm so sorry for causing trouble to Lord Wiseman!" Vic apologized quickly after hearing this.

"As an apology, please move to the Fountain of Life, Lord Wiseman. There are not only many precious medicines that can be used to restore spiritual strength, but also some that can be used to lay the foundation for "his" body."

The "he" that Vic was referring to was naturally the reincarnated "Rhine".

In Wick's view, the god Rhine and the reincarnated Rhine are not the same person, but a bit like two personalities in one body.

"Okay." Rhine nodded. He would never miss the resources that were delivered to his door.

"Lucela, take Master Wiseman and his friends to the Fountain of Life," Vic ordered.

"understood."

After Lucela responded, her body transformed into a huge ancient dragon again, and then she motioned for everyone to sit on her back.

While everyone was still in a daze, Rhine wrapped the dragon egg with his mental power and flew onto the ancient dragon's steel-like back.

Seeing this, Beatrice also flew up with Elesis in her arms.

"What about us? Are we going up too?" Bal asked Li Jianxian nervously.

This is a giant dragon from the divine realm. Can they really ride on it?

"I don't know... I don't even know what's going on right now."

What was going on with this divine dragon? What was going on with the dragon egg? And who was that mysterious voice? A series of questions filled his mind.

"What are you still standing there for? Come up quickly." Rhine urged.

"I'm coming."

"Hold on tight, I'm about to start moving," Lucela warned.

Under normal circumstances, she would never give anyone a ride, but the sense of oppression that Rhine gave her was so strong that she didn't dare to act rashly.

Along the way, the caves along the way seemed to come alive. Many dead ends with no paths suddenly became paths after Lucela approached. Many places that looked like walls, Lucela just dived in.

Rhine knew that Vic was manipulating the space in his body to create a shortcut to the Fountain of Life for Lucela.

"Well, Lord Wiseman, what is going on now?" Bal couldn't help but ask.

Although Beatrice didn't say anything, Rhine could tell from the confusion on her face that she was still very curious.

As for Elesis, she is still in the process of enlightenment, and she doesn't know whether she can enter the half-step god realm in one fell swoop after this enlightenment.

"Things are a little complicated, so I'll keep it short. The High Elves' Secret Realm is gone, and we are no longer in the Penicia continent."

"Ah? That's it!? Isn't this too short?"

"It's more like I'm even more confused after hearing this. What do you mean the High Elves' Secret Realm is gone? Aren't we in the High Elves' Secret Realm now?"

"And what does it mean that we are no longer on the Penicheia continent? Then where are we now?" Bal asked puzzled.

"We are now inside the body of a demigod-level mythical creature called the Sky Curtain Beast, and the secret realm of the high elves is built on the back of the Sky Curtain Beast."

"Remember the deep and big hole when we came down? That was the blowhole of the Sky Curtain Whale. The reason why the passage was closed after we came down was because the whale closed the blowhole. Then our attack seemed to have awakened the Sky Curtain Whale, and after waking up, the whale headed towards the depths of the ocean."

"And the owner of the mysterious voice you heard was the Sky Curtain Whale."

"As for my relationship with him and the situation of this dragon egg, these questions have little to do with you, so I won't explain them. Even if you ask, I won't tell you, so don't ask."

"...Then can we still get out?" Li Jianxian asked with concern.

"Of course. But this trip is a one-way ticket. You'll have to figure out your own way to return."

"So where are we going, or where is this giant whale going?" Bal said nervously.

His coming out this time was considered as desertion, and if he was absent from his post for a long time, it would be dereliction of duty. More importantly, if something serious happened to the Demon God Prison during his absence, he would become a sinner of mankind.

"Dark Continent." Rhine replied briefly.

"Dark Continent?" x2

"Dark Continent!!!" Li Jianxian exclaimed. Unlike Baal and Beatrice who were born in grassroots, Li Jianxian's sect heritage is very old, so he vaguely knows some truths about the world.

"It's best if you know that. You can explain it to them."

"I don't know much, actually. I just happened to see an ancient book about the demon race in the sect's Sutra Library. There was a paragraph in it that briefly mentioned the Dark Continent, saying that the ancestors of the demon race came from the Dark Continent."

"The book also says that it is a continent located at the end of the world and is shrouded in thick fog all year round. Because the fog is so thick that even the sunlight cannot penetrate, it is called the Dark Continent. It is said that all the people swallowed by the fog have never returned, so people only know that there is such a continent, but no one knows what the interior of the continent looks like." Li Jianxian explained.

"No, the Dark Continent is called the Dark Continent because the land of the entire continent is black, and polar nights often occur. It's not a complicated reason. And the people who were swallowed by the fog have returned, it's just that you don't know about it." Vic corrected.

"I will drop you off with Lord Wiseman when I pass by the Landia continent. As for the others, I will take them away as I still have use for them."

"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten. How are the others doing now?" Rhine asked curiously.

"They wanted to take advantage of the Fountain of Life, so I locked them up."

"What are you going to do with them? Kill them?" Rhine asked.

"That's not the case. After all, they haven't done anything yet."

"I plan to hand them over to the Guardian Alliance and let them witness everything that happened in the Dark Continent. Let them know that their current lives are too comfortable. The demon invasion is just a game. It's time to let the whole world know this cruel truth." Vic said indifferently.

Even though the world is going to end in 20 or 30 years, people in the world still know nothing about it and are still fighting and deceiving each other for small gains. Even if they can't help, at least they should know what's happening.

"Are you planning to let them witness everything, and then release them to serve as a medium for spreading the truth?"

"That's right. After all, these people are the ones with real power in the major world hegemonic forces. It is most appropriate for them to personally convey messages to others." Rhine said.

The credibility of the "truth" spoken by ordinary people and the "truth" spoken by a world hegemonic leader is completely different.

"Um...what is the truth of the world? Can you tell me too?" Bal asked seriously.

He had always thought that the demons were the biggest threat to humanity, but now he was told that the demons actually originated from the Dark Continent, and that there seemed to be even more terrifying beings in the Dark Continent. What kind of truth could make even a demigod feel cruel? This concerned Baal a lot.

"Do you want to know?"

"think."

"Even at the cost of your life?"

"Correct."

Not all humans are bad, there are many good people like Baal who silently contribute. They voluntarily guard the Demon Pass just to protect the peace of mankind.

Likewise, the church is not all dark and corrupt, and their contributions to mankind far outweigh their "evil deeds." Whether it is human experiments or other taboo experiments that cannot be made public, their essence is to make humans "stronger."

The problem is not with the church, but with a certain faction or some people in the church. After all, no matter what camp or organization you are in, there will be different factions, radicals, conservatives, moderates, etc. The church is sometimes good and sometimes bad at different stages because of the different ruling factions.

"No, he doesn't want to know." Li Jianxian covered Bal's mouth and said.

"What are you doing!" Bal slapped Li Jianxian's hand away and said angrily.

"What am I asking you for? They didn't want to take us to the Dark Continent because of Lord Wiseman. Why did you go there on your own initiative? Don't drag me along if you want to die!" Li Jianxian accused.

"Then why don't you just get off at that Landia continent! I have been dealing with demons all my life, but now they tell me that the invasion of demons is just a game. So I want to witness with my own eyes what the cruel truth is that the demigod said!" Baal said seriously.

"What if you can't come back? You have finally extended your life by a hundred or two hundred years. Shouldn't you wait for the predicted prosperous age to come?" Li Jianxian continued to persuade.

The two had known each other since they were young. At that time, they had adventured together, grown up together, and grown old together. It could be said that they had been friends for life. He really didn't want Baal to take risks.

"If you can't come back, then don't come back. If the world is gone, what's the point of a prosperous era?"

"Okay, stop arguing. No one will die. They want you to go back alive and tell the world about it." Rhine reminded.

"Ah? Then why do you say even at the cost of life?" Bal asked with some confusion.

"I'm just asking, to see your determination. Although there are few people like you who are righteous these days, your existence at least shows that mankind is not completely rotten." It seems that Vic doesn't have a very good impression of humans.

"Ah, of course, I'm not talking about you, Master Wiseman. How can a bunch of mortals like us be compared to you, Master?"

"Then I'll go with you." Li Jianxian hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to go with Bal into the Dark Continent with everyone else to experience the so-called cruel truth of this world.

"I'll go with you to the Dark Continent. As for Elesis and Chrissie, they both need a quiet environment, so you can place them in the Landia continent you mentioned." Rhine said.

"Lord Wiseman, you must not do this, you must not do this!"

Vic objected as excitedly as a minister hearing the emperor say he would lead the army in person.

"I'm not questioning your ability, sir. I'm just afraid that you might accidentally use too much force and break this world into pieces... I won't bother you with this little thing yourself. What you need to do now is to help 'him' grow up as quickly as possible."

"It's okay. I just have something to do and need to leave this world for a while."

That's right, the reason why Rhine's law enforcement power has not been taken back by the system after he handled the case was because he submitted a bug that made him unable to return to his own world, as he was both a player and an inspector.

He didn't dare submit it before because he was afraid that the people above would know about his little trick, but now that the people above already know about it and said they won't pursue it, why is Rhine still hesitating about it?

Anyway, the system has no emotions and no consciousness. It doesn't care whether you abuse your power or not. It only sees whether you comply with the operating procedures. Otherwise, the task of determining whether the player has violated the rules will not fall on the inspector.

In other words, as long as you can rationalize the "violation" and comply with the operation of the system program, the system will not care whether it is a violation or not. This is not the system's task, but the inspector's task, and it is also the meaning of the inspector's existence.

Therefore, along with the bug, the solution to fix the bug is also submitted.

In this solution to the bug, Rhine hopes to prolong the blessing of the world's will. Otherwise, when the system takes back the blessing of the world's will and fails to delete his memory, won't he be dead for sure?

If a player dies unexpectedly due to the system's own reasons, it will definitely be a big deal for the game company!

So Rhine exaggerated the harmfulness of this bug in the report to be extremely serious, saying that it might even cause the game to be suspended for rectification. In short, he said it was as serious as possible.

The system will not analyze whether you are talking nonsense. It will only analyze whether the situation you mentioned is possible and what consequences it will cause if it happens.

Obviously, the system thought what Rhine said made sense and that his solution was feasible, so it gave him another three days to deal with the bug.

As for why it is only three days, it is because the system will undergo a comprehensive upgrade after three days, and all players who have unlocked the forum will be gathered in the initial space and wait for the system upgrade to be completed.

While updating, the official "programmers" will personally fix all the previously submitted vulnerabilities.

Therefore, if Rhine fails to solve the problem within three days, it is not a big deal. There will be someone special to deal with the bug by then.

The reason why Lai Yin was asked to handle it was simply because he was an inspector, and troubleshooting bugs was one of the inspectors' jobs. Therefore, when the system received Lai Yin's application, there was no reason for it to be rejected. In this way, Lai Yin bought himself another 3 days.

Similarly, while approving the request, the system also warned him not to use his "law enforcement authority" to do anything beyond the norm, otherwise he would be punished accordingly.

As for the solution to the bug, it is not complicated. After all, this is not a real bug, but just a conflict in system logic. If you want to solve it, just meet all the logical operation conditions.

First, he must return to his own world under the blessing of the world's will.

Second, he must erase his own memories before returning to his own world.

The key point is "one's own world".

So if he entered the Dark Sea through the abyss passage on the Dark Continent, would this be considered leaving his own world? If so, he would meet the condition of "returning to his own world".

The only thing to pay attention to is whether he can still receive the blessing of the world's will after leaving this world? Otherwise, once the blessing is broken, he will become an idiot.

So he had to go to the abyss passage himself to see the limit of the range of the world's will blessing.

Chapter 272 Preparations before the Final Battle

Rhine was surprised to find that up to now he only had three pieces of equipment in his equipment column, namely [Eternal Artifact - Battle Mage Ring], [Quasi-Artifact - Blazing Wings] and [Epic - Nicole's Wand] given to him by his aunt.

The reason why the "naked running" situation occurs is mainly because his magic does not benefit much from attribute bonuses.

Whether it is a fuel-air bomb or an atomic bomb, they all rely on the energy released by their own reactions. It is only related to the dosage at the time of injection and has little to do with the attributes of the caster.
