Chapter 172 "Children's Paradise" Special Clearance Award (End)
"Because I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"
For a moment, Jiang Qian saw some kind of urgency in the eyes of the female principal, who could be called the dungeon boss.
"You are also waiting for this day..."
Jiang Qian pondered the other person's words and stood side by side.
Until the other party finally got to the point: "Okay, let's take a look at your special reward."
The charming headmistress put down the baby-faced radio and lowered her eyes for a moment, and countless different images spread out throughout the office with Jiang Qian as the center.
The protagonists in these images are all wearing white digital suits. Some are still awake, some are sleeping, and some have almost dull eyes...
These are super-species players imprisoned in the "Children's Paradise" copy, and Jiang Qian has glimpsed some familiar faces among them:
Xiong Er and others chose to stay at the transfer station No. 1; Lu Fanni, Bai Ji and others at the transfer station No. 2; the wildfire, a towering pine, and the moths in the transfer station No. 3 were silent; the transfer station No. 4 The standing swans are flying, the night dragonflies...
There are many more.
They are alive, but not quite alive.
"Your special reward comes from them..."
The voice of the headmistress came through countless overlapping images:
"As the agent of "Children's Paradise", I have the ability to give you the ability to transcend the rules of evolution: all these players who stay in the dungeon can become your nourishment. ”
"Plunder their experience points and make them your own, and your evolution speed will be unimaginable. Plunder the props and rare treasures they carry and use them for your own use. You will reserve unimaginable super-species resources."
As the female principal narrated, countless images displayed around Jiang Qian quickly showed corresponding details:
Each player's ID, level, experience value, and item information are listed, including the date and time of entering the instance.
Just like the unfolding of a virtual database, it is comprehensive and the visual effect is stunning.
But Jiang Qian was unusually calm: "What does it mean to use other players as my nourishment?"
“Winner takes all!”
The headmistress continued to explain: "You have passed the most tests and experienced the highest risks, and you deserve this."
As he spoke, the purple gold gourd in Jiang Qian's locker vibrated.
He was slightly startled. The female director could spy on other players' props, including him.
"You can choose any 'nutrient', seal it in your purple gourd, and digest it slowly when needed, just like swallowing supplements."
"Of course, you don't have to worry about leaving hidden dangers. "Children's Paradise" will give you the power to choose to release or plunder everyone. The power of their life and death lies in your hands. The outside world will never know that these people's downfall was due to your decision. ”
Jiang Qian's eyes were still jumping among the images, from one to another, quickly scanning the faces and data in the images.
"Relax."
Seeing that Jiang Qian did not respond, the female principal continued to explain:
"All primitive accumulation is bloody. You have only reached the second state, and there is still a long way to go. There are many opportunities for you to use these resources. Don't ruin your chance of reaching the sky because of your momentary heroism. ”
"Smart passer?"
……
Jiang Qian converged his gaze and looked at the female principal behind the image again:
"In other words, my special reward is: you can choose to treat all players as supplements, or let them go. This is what I have the final say."
"Yes, plunder or release, you can only choose one." The headmistress smiled.
Jiang Qian thought for a while and gave the answer:
"Let them go."
The headmistress, who originally had a deep smile, moved her eyes slightly, and then showed surprise and confusion, so that she needed to confirm the answer again:
"What did you say?"
"I said let them go." Jiang Qian repeated calmly.
The headmistress frowned in confusion: "Why?"
"You said you can only choose between release and plunder. So I chose to let them go." Jiang Qian said.
But this answer obviously failed to answer the doubts in the headmistress' mind.
She confirmed with Jiang Qian again:
"If you let them go, the rewards for the "Children's Paradise" dungeon will be distributed according to the stay stage, but...you have never even met most of them and have no interaction with them. Why do you need to share the victory with them? ”
"There may even be your enemies among them, but you want to let them go?"
The headmistress stared at Jiang Qian, as if she wanted to see why this young human, who remained emotionally stable even after clearing the unsolvable dungeon, gave up the benefits of extraordinary evolution.
"Well, let's share the victory."
Jiang Qian said.
If there was only one option, he would rather misplace it than kill it by mistake, let alone try to achieve evolution by feeding on others.
Jiang Qian never thought about getting involved in other people's karma and bad karma.
Moreover, according to the theory taught by Lan Junxian, the special evolutionary reward "plunder" given by the female principal is equivalent to increasing the risk of mutation to the Max. Although the results are impressive, it has ruined the most valuable part: the future.
Once he changes and goes astray, all the meaning he has established for Jiang Qian's identity will be ruined.
It’s not that there’s no ambition, but you have to make trade-offs.
There was a brief silence.
Jiang Qian heard a sound like ice and snow cracking and breaking.
It comes from his surroundings, the office he is in, and even this mysterious space built on unknown coordinates.
The surrounding images gradually dissipated, and a certain degree of energy leaked out of the headmistress' figure. This caused her eyes to take on an illusory and translucent color, making her charm even more plump and stunning!
What happened... The space beneath his feet trembled, and Jiang Qian had the illusion that he was at the center of an earthquake.
"Congratulations."
The headmistress raised her head and smiled again.
This time her temperament has undergone an incredible change! The originally unclear smile became softer, and his eyes became gentler and brighter.
She faced Jiang Qian and announced again: "Congratulations, don't use Qianlong, you have passed the level. The "Children's Paradise" will no longer exist from today on. ”
Have I cleared the level? So what I just heard was the shattering sound of the dungeon world... Jiang Qian's pupils shrank slightly, and he gradually regained his composure, as if he suddenly understood something:
"The choice just now is the last difficulty in the dungeon, right?"
The kind-hearted female principal nodded slightly.
But he was still surprised: "Have you seen through this too?"
"Not really, that's what I thought."
Jiang Qian smiled and shook his head.
Then he asked curiously: "What will happen if I choose to treat everyone as nourishment?"
"Mutation, death in pain." The kind-hearted female principal said softly.
In her vision, Jiang Qian still has "restrictions" that are different from others and belong to the six-state conceptual body. She can try, but she may not be able to kill Jiang Qian immediately.
Fortunately, Jiang Qian's performance did not leave her a chance to take action.
"Sure enough."
Jiang Qian quickly recalled the many aspects of the "Children's Paradise" from the beginning to the end. All the details came together, and his vision gradually became clearer.
The reason why this copy is difficult to overcome is not only the cruel mechanism of layer-by-layer screening, but also because its core is difficult to grasp.
I want to take back my previous judgment. This copy is not a trick, the trick is just a cover-up... Jiang Qian then unfolded his own perspective:
"Fruit Man is a comprehensive elimination competition. Just like the billions of speed competition before everyone first came to this world, the whole process is full of uncertain factors such as accidents and luck."
"Throwing the handkerchief, apart from the early observation, calculation and judgment, the core key of this game in the end is the choice between good thoughts and evil thoughts: if you choose to do good, you will receive good treatment, if you choose to do evil, you will trigger violent feedback."< br>
“The hide-and-seek game is more complex, with a two-line story background, many doubts, and such a huge amount of mixed information that it is extremely difficult for any one person to control and complete it. I guess it is a test of the collaboration between players in the same camp. ”
"As for the blind touch, it is probably a 'trust test'. Those who are wary of each other's calculations will use water guns to cross the betting mechanism to kill each other, or they will be stuck in the game for a long time due to blindness and psychological games, unable to pass the level."
"The person with the severed finger I met just now seems to be an arrangement of the dungeon, using high risk costs and endless loneliness to make players flinch... What's interesting is that the cumulative call time on the countdown timer has the opposite effect: and the severed finger The more in-depth people communicate, the more seriously they will be shaken, right?”
"But unfortunately, this kind of trick is difficult to work on people who are too rational and too average." Jiang Qian took stock of the entertainment activities one by one, with a calm attitude of being at ease and in control.
The kind-hearted female principal took over his words: "You have a very good understanding. The core of the fruit man, throwing handkerchief, and hide-and-seek mentioned earlier are all close to perfect answers."
"Fruit man is a comprehensive quality screening; throwing handkerchiefs is a test of good and evil choices; hide-and-seek is a test of cooperation."
"The blind game tests the human heart."
Trust, people's hearts.
Indeed, touching the blind tests the human heart, and the reason why I was able to pass the level unscathed in that situation was because of my teammates... The words of the female principal made Jiang Qian suddenly enlightened, and the previous inner fluctuations began to surge again. .
The headmistress stared at Jiang Qian softly, as if she already knew what he was thinking, and slowly shook her head and said:
"It was your actions in the previous games that won people's hearts. You can win whatever people want, but you forgot to thank yourself."
Jiang Qian's eyes moved slightly.
Then he fell into deep thought in the words of the headmistress.
The headmistress looked at Jiang Qian with interest and continued to use his words to complete the core of the entire "Children's Paradise" copy:
"The person who has broken his finger and obstructs you in every possible way is a test of 'responsibility'. A person who is fearless and hesitant will not be able to climb the ladder of loneliness."
"And the last level, killing or accommodating, tests the attitude of those in high positions."
"When you have the power of life and death over everyone, how will you place the interests of everyone and your own interests? This is what the "Children's Paradise" is all about. Congratulations, it has completed its mission. ”
These words of the headmistress echoed in Jiang Qian’s ears, making the context of the entire “Children’s Paradise” clearer and more thorough:
Children's Paradise was originally intended as an entertainment place for children to play innocently and spend time, but it was transformed into a place of learning and experience by this copy.
After many tests, from the initial rebirth to the final adulthood and even achievement. Experience all the way, pass all the levels.
Enterprising, choice, collaboration, people's aspirations and responsibility.
Finally, there is the attitude of being in a high position.
The stairs are upward and interconnected! Although its screening process is extremely cruel.
"Enlightenment."
Jiang Qian's expression was as calm as water, but the corners of his mouth were raised.
The kind-hearted female principal immediately showed a happy smile:
"Now, it's time to give you the real reward for being the only person to pass the level..."
……
Jiang Qian was stunned: The real reward?
As the words fell, the figure of the headmistress became more ethereal and her eyes became more unreal.
She stretched out her hand and drew it in front of her eyes, and two completely different "energy structures" suddenly appeared between them!
Just like what Lan Junxian did when he explained the "Seven-State Energy Structure" to Jiang Qian for the first time.
It's just that the two energy structures in front of us are completely different! One is a normal energy structure that is developing healthily, and the other is an endangered energy structure that is extremely unstable and can collapse at any time.
"This is..."
Jiang Qian stared intently, and his spiritual vision turned on!
Both energy structures are in dynamic operation, from one state to three states, and the inner energy flows in detail, just like real organs growing in the body of a super-species player.
However, his vision is limited.
Only the apparent dynamics of the "energy structure" can be seen, and only a relatively limited part can be tracked, unable to form a complete dynamic vision of the overall internal and external integration cycle.
In other words, with his current "sight", he can only see roughly and superficially.
At most, we can see where the problem is, but how to solve the crux is impossible to talk about!
"I will further open your horizons and make your own spiritual vision more inclusive: you can see both 'something' and 'nothing'."
"Evolution, mutation, and origin are compatible. The special reward I give you is-the way of compatibility!"
The headmistress said with a smile, and then, a stream of light filled Jiang Qian's eyes!
Before Jiang Qian could ask the doubts surging in his heart, his eyes felt cold.
Immediately afterwards, the cool spot began to feel hot, extending to the center of his eyebrows and his mind.
His vision began to blur, and he saw strange visions.
It was somewhat similar to the experience he had when he first put on the mysterious glasses.
"What do you mean..."
While experiencing the tangible changes in his body, Jiang Qian asked: "What is visible 'nothing'? Why do you have such power?"
And what I couldn't ask was - what kind of existence are you?
"You don't need to know why I have such power, I just need to accept your gift."
Ever since Jiang Qian was announced for the last time, the female principal's voice has always been gentle and tolerant, full of magnetism and caring, which made people feel like spring breeze.
"Seeing 'nothing', the biggest difference for you is that you can see through more invisible ways, the transfer of subtle energy, the laws of how things operate, and things that have not happened yet."
"Of course, these all require you to spend time and energy to hone and understand them thoroughly before you can truly operate them freely."
"To give a specific example: you will be able to see through the 'affected areas' of those who are on the verge of mutating, and start with the energy structure to regulate and slow down the speed of their mutation."
The female principal said, pointing to the two energy structures between the two:
"Take another look."
Jiang Qian focused his sight again and activated his spiritual vision!
This time, his vision is not limited to seeing clearly the operation routes of the two energy structures, but also covers the entire inside and outside of the two energy structures! Every detail was tracked and observed in his field of vision, and finally a complete dynamic structure appeared in Jiang Qian's mind.
"If you are transparent enough and can collect and control enough 'materials', it is not impossible to adjust and change the energy structure of others when the time permits."
Jiang Qian's pupils shrank!
Adjust and change the seven-state energy structure of others? I have never heard of such an argument!
If there was such a technology, wouldn't it be possible to save those on the verge of mutation who have been fired or suspended from official supervision? You are not fooling me... Jiang Qian asked: "What kind of 'material' and what is the time allowed?"
He can figure out what this special reward he has received means and how valuable it is.
Jiang Qian, shrouded in the headmistress’ illusory gaze:
"Those intangible things that can have a strong stimulation and impact on super species players are all materials you can try to use."
"You now contain a lot of such materials..."
On me? Jiang Qian's heart moved:
Eat the strange things!
After evolving from a one-state cognitive body to a two-state alien body, Jiang Qian possessed the ability to eat monsters, and also gave birth to a perfect set of poisonous fangs and poisonous sacs.
The tricks here are also called "spiritual pollution sources" and are within the range that the poison sac can accommodate.
The source of mental pollution belongs to the "invisible force".
When there is an opportunity in the future, I must find someone on the verge of mutating to do an experiment, no! Mutants can do it too... Jiang Qian silently calculated.
The space in the "Children's Paradise" gradually cracked, and the vibrations under the feet intensified.
The female principal looked at the surrounding situation and urged Jiang Qian: "Go and settle the regular dungeon rewards, this place is about to be broken."
“Is the ‘Children’s Paradise’ going to disappear? ”
"Yes, me too."
Jiang Qian couldn't help but be moved when he heard the sound.
The figure and voice of the headmistress become increasingly unreal and difficult to identify:
"This "Children's Paradise" is my prison. The day the passer appears, that's when I return to nothingness. ”
Return to nothingness? Is this her way of saying death... Jiang Qian showed some confusion: "But you are very happy?"
"Of course I'm happy. My sentence is about to expire. I've been waiting for this day."
The female director has an ethereal figure and an illusory smile.
"Let's go settle..."
