Chapter 332: Shocking changes, civilization is fading
"It's done" Gu Shanhai breathed a sigh of relief.
In the fourteenth month of the Great Ruins, Gu Shanhai and Renn finally distributed various rewards to players. In addition to the one billion rewards for outstanding players, they also distributed a basic reward to all participating players as agreed.
He can also determine the number of players from this. 13.2 billion players have participated in the rescue of the entire Adventure King world.
Not only did the world itself provide a large amount of resources, but even "The First Era" invested a large amount of resources as a subsidy. You must know that the players' main world line itself has rewards, and this reward must be "The First Era". "One Era", but the wool comes from the sheep, and these expenses will be made up from the Adventure King world itself.
"Teacher, we have just completed the first stage, there are still ten months left." Ren reminded.
It will take at least ten months to completely get rid of the influence of the Great Ruins, so it is far from being said that it is done.
"It's okay. The number of subsequent rewards can be reduced. At least it won't be like now. Not only the basic reward of 13.2 billion is required, but also the outstanding reward of 10 billion." Of course Gu Shanhai knew that, he Not a fool.
"What happened next?" Gu Shanhai asked.
"The alienated area is fading and the rules are stabilizing, but I have a bad feeling." Renn hesitated and said.
"Bad premonition? What's wrong?" Gu Shanhai didn't feel it at all. Most of his intuition and sixth sense were aimed at himself. Most of them were focused on misfortunes and blessings, and a small part were comprehensive. of.
He doesn't care about the outside world, he only cares about his own situation.
"I don't know, maybe it's an illusion." Renn couldn't tell what was wrong. Everything was moving in a good direction, and he couldn't explain it.
"It's most likely an illusion. I didn't detect anything wrong." Gu Shanhai also agreed.
During these days, Gu Shanhai's spiritual consciousness has been wandering around the entire world and monitoring the alienated areas. These alienated areas are indeed fading away little by little as the Great Ruins move away, as if the whole world is healing itself.
He actually also thought about whether these broken and chaotic rules would have an irreparable impact on the world, and then he forgot about this issue.
Not to mention that he couldn't see where the impact was, even if he could see it, he wouldn't be able to solve it.
"That's good." Renn also didn't know what was going on. If Gu Shanhai was so strong, he said it would be fine, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
After Ren finished speaking, he was ready to continue handling official duties, but he always felt weird and never started writing, as if something went wrong.
Gu Shanhai was also a little confused: "You've been holding the pen for two minutes, why are you still stuck?"
"I seem to have forgotten something." Ren said.
"Forgot? Why did you forget?" Gu Shanhai was a little surprised. With your strength, how could you forget things.
"I don't know." Renn was a little confused.
"For example, what did you forget?" Gu Shanhai was a little confused for a moment when he heard Ren's answer.
"I forgot, um, a few words." Ren said with some embarrassment as he looked at the words on his hand.
When Gu Shanhai heard this, he also smiled: "I can forget these words. I will show you which words."
Renn said with an ugly face: "These nine words"
Hearing this, the smile on Gu Shanhai's face gradually faded.
If you don't recognize a remote character, you can still understand it. After all, you are not a saint, and it is normal to be illiterate.
At this time, Gu Shanhai also realized that it was probably not that Ren didn't really know each other, so he pretended to have forgotten it, but that he really had forgotten nine words.
"Show me where it is." Gu Shanhai stood up and walked to Ren's side.
Ren also held up a pen and circled the nine words he had forgotten.
Gu Shanhai still recognized these nine characters that were distributed differently. He knew these characters, but when he saw them, he also had a strange feeling, that is, these nine characters did not seem to be characters.
Yes, it was his feeling, not the reality.
These characters are not uncommon or uncommon characters. On the contrary, they are some very commonly used characters.
"I think your bad premonition may be true." Gu Shanhai also looked solemn.
"The writing seems to be being erased. Those abnormal areas have not faded away, but have merged into the world with the departure of Daxu and caused irreparable damage to our entire civilization."
Gu Shanhai understood the cause and effect in an instant. The reason why he couldn't notice these things was that everything disappeared in an imperceptible way.
That is to say, Renn, the destiny saint, has a special status and is able to detect this.
"It's probably not just words that are disappearing because of this, but also other things in civilization. If we don't stop it, we may have to return to the primitive era." Gu Shanhai's words were not exaggerated. On the contrary, he concealed a lot. If If the entire civilization really disappears due to these changes, then not only will it have to return to the primitive era, but the human beings who built the civilization will also have to disappear along with it.
This is the most troublesome disaster Gu Shanhai has ever encountered. This disaster originated from a concept, just like someone wiped away civilization with an eraser. Moreover, this eraser was still invisible, and Gu Shanhai had nowhere to track it.
As for those abnormal areas, it is not something that Gu Shanhai can solve. These are similar to the rules of the world, and exist like gravity and air. How can Gu Shanhai solve them?
"What should we do?" Renn had no solution at this time and could only ask Gu Shanhai.
"What should I do, cold salad?" Gu Shanhai said angrily. What can he do? At present, he has not been involved in this related field.
He does have two special spiritual plants, namely cause and effect and luck, but the problem is that this has nothing to do with the crisis he is facing. The prerequisite for a connection is to have a professional counterpart, and he does not have the corresponding skills at all.
"Ah?" Renn was also a little surprised. Gu Shanhai had no choice but to play.
"Try your automatic system and see if there's any way to solve it." Gu Shanhai could only treat the problem like a dead horse. He couldn't let him solve it. He couldn't solve it.
When Ren heard this, he quickly started to set up the automatic system according to the suggestions provided by Shanhai.
The result was, of course, an unexpected failure.
"No, this matter is far beyond the scope of my own strength, and it is not something I can solve." Renn looked at the words in his operation log, and the automatic system failed automatically.
"It seems that the saint can't solve this matter, so we have to find another way." Fortunately, Ren's failure was within Gu Shanhai's expectation. If it could be solved so easily, Gu Shanhai wouldn't have a headache.
"Then what if I become a god?" Ren asked again.
"I don't know. I'm not a god. Besides, you can't become a god now." Gu Shanhai knew that becoming a god was not that easy.
At least one thing is certain, the current rules environment is simply not suitable for gods to survive.
Yes, at first glance it sounds like the god is stretching his hips a bit, but in fact that seems to be the case.
The gods in the Adventure King world are rules-based gods, not gods of faith or incense gods who rely on acquired gods or innate beliefs.
Rule-type gods are naturally powerful and will not be interfered by external objects. It does not matter whether anyone believes in them or not. Their strength will not be reduced because no one believes in them. However, they also have a huge shortcoming, which is that they are extremely dependent on the world's rules environment. Once the world's rule environment changes and these rule-based gods cannot adapt together, various problems are likely to arise.
Therefore, if Ren wants to become a god now, it may not be that easy.
Gu Shanhai only cut off the internet for him and did not build a separate server for him. Gu Shanhai could not interfere with a saint, let alone a god.
The same is true for the remains of the God of Fate and End in his hand, but unlike Ren, if he wants to become a god, he will actually be the same as his saint status. He is not a real god, but a god created by his own system. A unique effect derived from it has the same nature as the Inner Demon Dao Weapon and Qiankun in the Sleeve, but it is just like a god, so Gu Shanhai doesn't have to worry about his own problems.
"I want to try, if I can succeed," Ren expressed his thoughts, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Shanhai.
"Then what if it fails? You can't let me handle it on the player side, right? How could I possibly succeed on my own? Don't even think about it. If the reward is not timely and causes the player's rebellion, what will happen even if you succeed? The world has changed. It will become a mess." Gu Shanhai analyzed the pros and cons with him.
Now is not the right time to become a god. Gu Shanhai still has something to say. In addition to the player factors, the rules are also unstable. If he wants to become a god, Gu Shanhai will not stop him. At least he will have to wait until the entire Adventure King world is stable. Only later, otherwise even if it succeeds, it will fail due to the current change in rules.
"This" Ren had to say, it would be okay if he succeeded, but if he failed, he would probably die. Then Gu Shanhai would be left alone to support the whole world, and the consequences would be absolutely disastrous.
Just having to deal with players can be overwhelming for Gu Shanhai, not to mention having to be responsible for production, development and other matters.
For a moment, he was a little helpless.
"I don't object to you doing this. If you want to do it, you have to at least wait until everything calms down before doing it."
"The decline of civilization does not happen overnight. You don't have to worry about it in the short term. Besides, even if writing disappears and the inheritance of civilization is cut off, so what? As long as we are still here, we can develop it again."
Gu Shanhai also gave Ren En chicken soup without hesitation. Otherwise, what else could he do? The atmosphere has been heightened to this point. Wouldn't it be a pity not to add some excitement?
Ren En also liked this trick. The main person who deceived him was Gu Shanhai. If it were anyone else, Ren En would definitely not believe it.
"Then just follow what you said, teacher, but if you do this, the days to come may be more difficult." Renn knew that there is a high probability that not only words will disappear, but other things, too, will be forgotten just because they disappear. , I don’t know what is missing at the moment.
But just disappearing text is already very troublesome. A large number of public affairs that Renn handles are all carried out by text. If there is no text, how should he coordinate such a huge world next?
"It's okay that the words disappeared, but I'm afraid that even the language has problems." Gu Shanhai was also a little helpless. This matter was indeed difficult to deal with.
Language-related problems may have already occurred, but the two of them were not aware of it.
"Teacher, I'll leave you with the investigation." Ren's tone was solemn. Gu Shanhai was serious about important matters and would not talk nonsense to him casually.
"I'll try my best. Civilization matters are not urgent and can still be tolerated. Players should be prioritized now."
"We indigenous people are likely to be affected, but the players and the various props and equipment they carry are likely not to be affected by the rules of the world."
"So we need to find corresponding means from players to retain civilization."
Of course Gu Shanhai will not be affected. He is not an aborigine of this world, and everything on his body has been cut off from the world itself. In addition, he has restored the form and true form of the world tree with a trace of the power of his previous life. Ling, don't even think about influencing him with this little ability.
The only pity is that the power of his previous life is limited. It can only be said that he is more than conservative but not aggressive enough. It is okay to keep it to protect himself. If he really wants to use it to confront the world head-on, it will be like hitting a stone with an egg.
A little bit is not everything. If he really had the strength of his previous life, there would be no need for Gu Shanhai to worry about this.
"Is it possible?" When Ren heard this, he was actually quite hesitant. After all, the players are special beings.
"Try it, you won't lose a piece of meat." Gu Shanhai didn't know what else to do. Besides, he had the bottom line. Even if he really returned to the form of primitive human civilization, Gu Shanhai was sure to pull him back again. return.
However, the entire civilization will definitely not develop into the same system as the adventurer system. Adventurers and saints have become a thing of the past.
Even if I really want to help, I don’t have the ability.
"Then let's try it first, but this will require another expenditure, and it still requires a lot of money. Teacher, do you have enough equipment and props on hand?" Ren asked.
Skills are easy to talk about. There are skill potions, so basically there is no need to worry.
On the contrary, the equipment props are out of print because the rules have changed and the adventure land has disappeared.
Not much of the equipment and props Gu Shanhai had previously received as rewards had been distributed.
"There's not much left, but you can use skills instead. Players should prefer skills to equipment."
"The rewards from now on will all be replaced by skills. As for the equipment and props, they will be in limited supply." Gu Shanhai could only switch to one strategy. Thanks to the self-sacrifice of the saints, otherwise Gu Shanhai would really be at his wits end. . (End of chapter)
