Chapter 2729 The Conscious Core
Li Cang felt trouble.
These guys don't even look hard enough.
And how could he search such a huge planet by himself?
He was too exhausted to find it.
Slave contracts alone can only keep others from rebelling, but they cannot inspire others, let alone force them to find something.
Slaves are the least motivated. They only want to muddle along and make no mistakes in anything they do.
Although Li Cang wanted to threaten one or two people with execution, Zhang Meng stopped him.
"God will not be pleased with this."
"Gods shouldn't like things that are easy to mosaic." Zhang Meng hinted in a low voice.
Hearing this, Li Cang fell silent.
Only then did he understand the logic of Zhang Meng's behavior these days: No wonder this kid behaved so openly and aboveboard. It seemed that he was just acting for the gods.
……
Wen Rensheng couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
You really can’t underestimate people’s wisdom.
This Zhang Meng matured through a series of setbacks.
Now we understand the core play logic: mosaic behavior cannot occur.
As for how the other party discovered it, it should be judged by the amount of experience points.
Funny behavior that breaks the bottom line will lead to loss of experience.
And those funny behaviors that are normal and positive can gain a lot of experience.
This was naturally a secret arrangement made by Wen Rensheng to prevent Xiao Huan from growing crooked.
Of course, he was overly worried, because Xiao Huan didn't want to grow up at all.
……
Li Cang quickly came up with a plan.
In the heat of the apocalypse.
A rumor spreads like wildfire among the survivors.
A legend about the Hot Core spreads in player channels, survivor camps, and large refrigerator shelters.
"Whoever can obtain it will get the ultimate power, and the SSS-level talent will be awakened on the player template."
"Real or false?"
"It may be true. That is the power that can plunge a world into heat. How much energy does it contain?"
"That's right, I'd rather believe it than miss it."
As a group of stooges started making noises, this rumor took root and sprouted in people's hearts like a seed, stimulating the greed and desire deep in their hearts.
Rumors quickly spread.
In the refrigerator shelter camp, many player "slaves" were sitting together, discussing this rumor in low voices.
“Do you think it’s a conspiracy?”
"This nonsense must be a conspiracy. This must be the conspiracy of the tyrant. He wants to get the core."
"But then, it must have some special power."
"Yes, the other party has obviously enslaved so many people, and yet they are still pursuing it, just like Qin Shihuang was pursuing the medicine of immortality. The pursuit itself shows its value!"
Speaking of this, many people's eyes flashed with excitement and fear, and their hearts were filled with the desire for power.
After all, if they had enough power, they would not become slaves.
"Damn, I don't want to live like this anymore!"
"Yeah, damn tyrant, he only gives us a little bit of stuff every day, without any hope of progress, and can only survive."
"Then again, that guy hasn't gone too far yet." There are also people who want to live in an ignoble way.
After all, he is still alive now.
"If we can get the hot core, we can become the masters of this world."
Another voice sounded in the crowd, it was full of temptation.
After all, there are still warriors.
When there are more people, some people will dare to risk their lives. This is bound to happen.
No matter how cowardly a group is, there will still be some warriors.
This is the most precious thing about people.
That’s why it was difficult to move from a slave society to modern times.
There will always be people who have the courage to resist and sacrifice their lives to find a path that is different from those of their predecessors.
……
Zhang Meng and Li Cang stood on the edge of the crowd.
There was a hint of worry in Zhang Meng's eyes.
Of course this was also performed by him.
He knew full well in his heart that this rumor could lead to a disaster.
But he thought it would amuse the gods.
That's enough.
"We can't let this rumor continue to spread," Zhang Meng said, "it will make people lose their minds."
Li Cang sneered in his heart, but nodded on the outside.
There was a trace of sadness in his eyes. "So we must first find the hot core and control its power."
Zhang Meng had nothing to say.
Dude, you're a better actor than me.
It was obviously you who did it, yet you're still here pretending.
Let's all act it out to the gods together.
……
So driven by rumors.
Players and ordinary survivors alike began to look for the Heat Core.
Of course, the only ones who can really do the work are the players.
Only they have the ability to dig into the earth and explore the caves in the hope of finding the fabled core.
Finally, there is a player with the talent to travel underground.
His name is Jason.
Jason's talent is the ability to travel underground.
His eyes can see the direction of underground rocks, and his body can adapt to the pressure underground.
His skin could feel the heat flowing beneath the ground.
On this day, Jason stood at the entrance of a huge cave.
There was a hint of excitement in his eyes. He could feel the call of the hot core.
He knew he was almost there.
"Hahaha, from now on I will be in charge of this planet!"
You know, although his ability is good, his vitality is very strong, and he can easily avoid danger, but he is not that strong in frontal combat.
Just like a mouse, it has a strong vitality and will be beaten to death as soon as it shows its head.
So at most he was hanging around underground, gathering some survivors to hang out, but he couldn't really claim to be the king.
He's nothing compared to other powerful players.
For example, someone's talent is "agility". As soon as he shows his head, he is hit by the opponent, but he cannot capture the opponent's whereabouts at all. How to fight?
And agility is just a very common talent, and of course not many people have it.
He took a deep breath and his body began to change.
His body softened and his eyes sharpened. He jumped into the cave and disappeared underground.
Deep underground, Jason weaves between rock and soil.
He could feel the heat at the hot core, he could feel its power.
He followed the core's call and eventually came to a huge underground space.
In the center of this space, there is a huge lava pool. The lava in the pool is rolling and emitting a blazing light.
In the center of the lava pool, there is indeed a huge core, which emits dazzling light.
Jason's eyes sparkled with excitement and he reached out, trying to touch the core.
"Hahaha, my hope is right in front of me!"
He was so excited, and then found that his body began to change, and his power really began to awaken further.
……
Wen Rensheng looked very interesting.
Naturally, this poor man didn't know that the new power he gained was not due to the fact that he found the core.
This is entirely because the process of "he was excited to find the hot core" made Xiao Huan interesting and gave him new power to fulfill his calling.
Of course, the process of giving strength to the opponent is achieved with the help of the "hot core", so that it makes him feel reasonable and makes him feel that it is really the case.
Make him feel that his efforts are useful.
……
In Jason's eyes, with his touch, the hot core began to respond.
Its power began to flow into Jason's body.
His player template began to awaken further.
His body was surrounded by blazing flames and his eyes glowed red.
Jason felt stronger than ever before. He found that his experience level had been greatly increased by the stimulation of the core.
"Experience +20,000, +30,000..."
Soon he soared from level 20 to level 72.
His body became stronger, his speed became faster, and his strength became more amazing.
Compared with his original self, he is now a Tyrannosaurus rex, and he is just a little ant.
The difference is so big.
He stood up, his body covered in flames and his eyes shining with new power.
He understood that he had become the master of this world.
Sure enough, he has a new talent:
"Vajra body."
It can turn itself into a rock, and as long as it is on the earth, it is indestructible.
……
Then Jason came to the refrigerator shelter.
He has long been salivating over this place.
At the same time, he also wanted to laugh at the two rulers here.
It's the end of the world, but he still behaves so well. The most he does is curse people and eat more and fight more.
He actually didn’t do anything that he should do in the normal Doomsday.
Is this still called the end of the world?
……
Afterwards, Jason began to show off his new power to everyone he met.
He collected other player subordinates along the way and headed towards the refrigerator shelter.
And the news quickly spread to the refrigerator camp.
After all, there is a player channel, an incredible communication tool.
Zhang Meng and Li Cang's expressions became solemn. They knew that Jason's awakening could bring new threats.
"We must find a way to fight Jason," Zhang Meng said. "His power is too powerful, and we cannot let him lose control."
Li Cang nodded, with a hint of unwillingness and a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
He never expected that the rumors he casually spread would come true.
This is really shooting oneself in the foot.
Who can I talk to to explain this?
"We need to come up with a plan," he said harshly, "We need to find a way to weaken his power."
The two then began planning.
They all knew this was going to be a tough battle.
They need to find the weakness of the Heat Core, and they need to find a way to control Jason's powers.
For Zhang Meng, although he attaches great importance to it, he is not desperate.
Instead, he saw it as a stepping stone to his progress.
If it's always unchallenging like before, I'm afraid the "gods" will get tired of it.
……
"That person is coming!"
Slave players rushed to tell each other.
Jason appeared at the door of the refrigerator shelter with a sneer. In fact, he could have just broken through the wall and entered.
But no normal person would choose to break their home...
So he walked through the main entrance.
With each other covered in heat, Zhang Meng and Li Cang suddenly faced unprecedented challenges.
As a slave owner, Li Cang must go up and fight.
Of course, he also used the power of the contract to drive several players to deal with Jason.
As a result, they were all easily beaten to death and resurrected.
Then he went into battle himself.
As a result, he found that his strength, agility, and defense were completely crushed by the opponent!
He is no match at all!
He knew immediately that if he wanted to fight Jason's newly awakened powers, he would have to find a completely new way.
The result was that Xiao Huan was moved forward and backward.
"He got in, he fought, he hit the GG."
"This guy is so funny."
……
Li Cang had no choice but to escape with Zhang Meng.
The embarrassed look of the two people caused everyone to burst into laughter.
The slaves laughed too.
But they soon stopped laughing.
Because this Jason is much more cruel than Li Cang.
Zhang Meng also knew that this was the god's theater stage and knew how to take care of Li Cang.
But no one cares about Jason.
Jason initially pretended to be the Superman who would save the world, but he soon grew bored.
After all, normal people wouldn't be able to endure it if they were really superhuman.
Even if things are complicated, they will still be controversial.
He quickly transformed into another side and began to abuse the remaining slave players in a more cruel way.
Because it allows him to have fun.
These processes are all mosaic and Xiao Huan cannot see them.
Of course, the price is that Jason will no longer gain new power, and he doesn't even realize that his power is declining.
……
Then Zhang Meng and Li Cang began to flee.
Finally the miracle happened again.
In an accident, Zhang Meng awakened a new ability-he was able to communicate with the hot core.
During a steaming sleep, Zhang Meng saw the hot core in his dream.
The discovery gave them a glimmer of hope.
Zhang Meng lay on the ground.
He felt a strange connection in his heart, a connection to the hot core.
He felt a hot breath being passed to him through the earth.
He closed his eyes and began to try to communicate with his core.
He knew very well that this must be a gift from God.
The gods saw the interesting show and began to give gifts.
His spirit gradually extended, through the earth and deep underground.
He could feel the heat in his core, feel its power.
He began to try to connect with the core, trying to understand its nature.
In Zhang Meng’s consciousness.
He saw the giant lava pool that Jason had found.
The lava in the pool is still rolling, emitting a blazing light.
In the center of the lava pool, the huge hot core, like an apple core, is emitting dazzling light.
"Who are you?" Zhang Meng's voice echoed in the core consciousness.
Core didn't answer.
But its heat is beginning to wane.
Its flames began to die down.
Zhang Meng could feel the confusion at his core.
It turns out it is alive!
It's just that it doesn't know why it exists, nor why it has such powerful power.
Zhang Meng continued to communicate with the core.
He tried to make the core understand that its power should not be used to destroy, but to protect.
"With great power comes great responsibility."
"Just like the sun in the sky, it has powerful energy, but it mainly brings light and heat to people, nurturing civilization and life."
He started this deception.
This is the strongest talk he can think of.
While Zhang Meng was communicating with the core, Li Cang began to make plans.
He knew that he had to defeat that bastard to get his position back.
At the same time, he can also ask Jason how to obtain power.
