Restricted area grave keeper

Thunder and lightning flashed outside the window, and the heavy rain did not stop at all. Huge raindrops slammed on the window one after another, as if it could smash the glass at any time.

Due to the impact of the heavy rain on electronic equipment, all the street lights in the city have been extinguished. Fortunately, the council took precautions and installed lighting stones as backup lighting equipment very early on. possible panic.

After these years of confrontation with the restricted area, human beings have gradually obtained a lot of useful materials from the restricted area and effectively integrated them into modern technology.

Parliament is certainly the best of them.

Therefore, even though the sudden heavy rain was very strange, and had almost the same basic rules as the restricted area, it did not affect the power supply of the parliament itself, but the network communication was still greatly affected.

However, this effect alone is already fatal.

In this heavy rain, all urban areas seem to have become isolated and helpless islands, unable to communicate with each other, and can only rely on themselves to fight against this unknown storm, which may turn into a sinking reef at any time.

——No one knows how long the heavy rain will last, and some people don't even know the dangers of the heavy rain, but everyone is subconsciously praying that it will stop soon.

Mr. Huang's expression was calm, but his heart was rather gloomy. He didn't take a sip of the hot tea on the table, it was going to be cold.

Red Fish's judgment is rarely wrong, and if what she said before is correct, then this heavy rain is undoubtedly a test for the entire safety zone——

Monsters that specifically restrain A-level extraordinary people will only be stronger than A-level extraordinary people. A-level people have the power of natural disasters, not to mention that they may even create even more terrifying S-level monsters. If they are handled carelessly, once A large number of A-level monsters appear in the world, and some urban areas may be completely wiped out by these monsters!

...this is by no means unfounded worry.

"I hope these monsters will disappear when the rain stops, otherwise the problem will only get worse..."

Huang Lao tapped on the table, thinking about how to minimize the loss.

The lights in the office flickered for a while, but they quickly returned to normal, probably because the power supply was briefly affected by the heavy rain.

Xue Hongyu seemed to see Huang Lao's worry, so he didn't speak for a while.

In fact, this heavy rain is indeed quite dangerous, and it is full of many unknowns, so she cannot act rashly, otherwise she would not let Mo Leng stay in the house, but would suggest him to go out and make tentative contact with this heavy rain.

This child's abilities are extremely terrifying, and once a monster with the corresponding restraint ability appears, it will definitely be extremely troublesome.

Scientific research is about boldness, not boldness.

The atmosphere in the office was rather gloomy, only the short Mo Leng didn't notice anything. He raised his head and chest, and kept a military posture staring at the wall in front of him. His big eyes were full of seriousness, and he was still chanting.

"I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man..."

This man seemed to be completely immersed in his own world. The "hunting" and "crisis" he had heard before didn't mean much to him, and he quickly forgot them.

The air is quiet.

After a while, Huang Lao finally withdrew his thoughts and murmured, "I don't know when this heavy rain will stop..."

He was wondering if his order to put the parliament in hibernation was correct. After this heavy rain, there might be big problems.

He subconsciously grabbed the teacup, only to find that the tea was already cold.

Xue Hongyu poured hot tea for him again, and said calmly, "Old Huang, I know what you are worried about, but this heavy rain may not necessarily be a crisis, but it may also be an opportunity."

After all, Mr. Huang is not a person who looks forward and backward, so he quickly adjusted his mood, smiled and said, "I see, is it the game theory you proposed before?"

Xue Hongyu has repeatedly used game terms such as "version", "experience value", and "dungeon" to describe the changes in the restricted area. Although there is no substantive written report, it is only an inference, but he always remembers it.

"Yes."

Xue Hongyu nodded solemnly, and began to describe his thoughts——

According to her theory, each forbidden zone is a specific copy. Although there are various dangerous forbidden creatures in it, its rules are actually biased towards humans. In addition to crises, there are also a large number of ore plants in the forbidden zone , rare props, and even taboo sequences and other "copy rewards".

And if the original logic is set, as a player, human beings should conquer the dungeon as much as possible, so as to obtain rewards and strengthen themselves. This is the correct logic of action.However, not only did human beings fail to do so, most people even just muddled through, staying as far away from the restricted area as possible, thus gradually falling behind the version.

In fact, most of the urban areas, including the council, are quite conservative in their attitude towards the restricted zone, paying attention to a little bit of advancement, and even treating it as a form of entertainment, and there have been shows about exploring the forbidden zone.

And perhaps because the progress of the game is too slow, the version has updated itself—since you don’t come to explore me, then I will invade you.

With the expansion of the restricted area, a large number of restricted area creatures flooded into the buffer zone, and many people were eliminated. Although not all of them were extraordinary, most of them had the courage to survive. survive.

The world is in chaos, and the importance of power is constantly being highlighted.

——And this is the version 2.0 of the restricted area era.

In this version, the difficulty of dungeons in restricted areas has been improved, and the difficulty of exploring secrets is even more terrifying than version 1.0. However, its expansion is forcing players to participate more deeply in the exploration of restricted areas, and it is impossible not to participate.

And this is not without benefits-corresponding to the increase in the difficulty of the restricted area, there are richer rewards.

According to valid data, 80.00% of the extraordinary people who have entered the forbidden area to explore and come back alive have rapidly improved their strength, whether it is physical strength or extraordinary ability. The reason is unknown for the time being, but what is certain is that, This is by no means an illusion of a transcendent!

In addition, the difficulty threshold for ordinary people to become practitioners has been greatly reduced. It seems that it is easier to search for the source stone of Taoism in the restricted area. Among the non-transcendents who dare to set foot in the restricted area, 40.00% of them succeeded Find and open the source stone of Taoism, the fit is ridiculously high.

——This was absolutely unimaginable before!

Not to mention that the number of origin stones is scarce and it is extremely difficult to obtain. Even if someone gets a piece of origin stone by chance, the chance of successfully matching and obtaining Taoism from it is less than [-]%!

And now the probability of obtaining it is 40.00% Seven!Nearly half the probability!

There is no way to explain this.

Therefore, Xue Hongyu has reason to judge that as the difficulty of the restricted area increases, the rewards obtained will become more abundant, expanding experience points and qualification rewards.

Especially the ability to quickly increase strength in the restricted area is like opening the double experience mode in the dungeon, which is absolutely fatal to the transcendent who wants to become stronger.

And this also caused a wave of exploration in the restricted area, and those who were brave and resourceful soon became strong.

And those who dare not explore... many of them can only stay in the buffer zone now.

Although the population of the safe zone has decreased a lot due to the expansion of the restricted area, the overall strength of human beings is far higher than before the expansion of the restricted area. Although they have not reached the extraordinary level of all members, the number of wastes waiting to die has been greatly reduced. .

In a sense, this is actually a good thing!
And because extraordinary people are full of enthusiasm for conquering restricted areas, the number of low-level restricted areas is also gradually decreasing. Although restricted areas and buffer zones are still everywhere, the safe zone has not yet reached the point of precarity.

...like a balance has been struck.

The version [-] of the restricted area era lasted for nearly half a year. Because the buffer zone blocked the various urban areas and the cost of contacting each other increased, it was difficult for the council to obtain too much data, but Xue Hongyu is still not difficult to imagine. Now the outside world is above C level. There will definitely be no shortage of extraordinary people.

If it weren't for this, there wouldn't be so many A-level transcendents in the rain in the city attached to the council today. If it were the same as before, it's still a matter of whether we can find so many A-level transcendents.

Of course, there is also a big gap between A-level transcendents and A-level transcendentals. After all, the basis for judging the level of transcendentalists is only basic physical fitness, and their true strength cannot be reflected in writing.

But no matter how you say it, it can't cover up the great effect of version 2.0 of the restricted area era-this is the most rapid period of human strength improvement!

And until half a year after the expansion of the restricted area, everything seemed to have temporarily entered a stable period, the area of ​​the safe zone basically remained unchanged, and a complete balance was formed between it and the restricted area.

In addition to the restricted area, the crises faced by human beings seem to have increased in this version - taboo spokespersons who appear from time to time, strange existences occupying urban areas, terrifying creatures in the ocean...

As the version is updated, more and more content seems to be filled.

However, human beings have not yet understood these things clearly, and have not yet enjoyed this period of stability. Today, it rained heavily inexplicably, making the entire safe zone temporarily a restricted area, and even monsters specifically targeting high-level transcendents appeared.

The safe zone has fallen into a new round of crisis, and human beings have to deal with it again.

Xue Hongyu noticed very early on that there seems to be a hand in the dark that is constantly pushing the restricted area to expand, thereby forcing humans to make changes.

——The version of the restricted zone is constantly being updated!

After listening to Xue Hongyu's narration, Mr. Huang fell into a brief silence.

There is no substantive evidence for what Xue Hongyu said, but what he said is well-founded. He has dealt with the restricted area for a long time, and he has always regarded the restricted area as an enemy of life and death. He has spent a lot of time fighting and killing, but he has never thought so Pass.

"So you're saying this rain is another version update?" he asked.

Xue Hongyu shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, it may also be the preview of version 3.0 of the restricted area era."

She paused and explained, "The update preview of version 2.0 of the Forbidden Zone Era is the Equality Paradise event. At that time, the forbidden zone has a faint tendency to expand, and we vaguely learned from the grave guards that the world may undergo drastic changes. And after that the restricted area really expanded."

"Gravekeeper..." Huang Lao murmured in a low voice.

He had never seen the grave keeper with his own eyes, but both Xue Hongyu and Jian Wugui had come to a definite conclusion—this grave keeper was very important.

Even if he is not the chief culprit that caused the restricted area to appear, he is definitely inextricably linked with the restricted area and knows many secrets.

It's a pity that the council has not found him in the past six months.

It is worth mentioning that although the Gravekeeper is a taboo sequence, his position does not seem to be clear. Xue Hongyu's attitude is to strive for a closer relationship with him, while Jian Wugui keeps silent, ultimately saying that the Gravekeeper is too strong to Constraints, it is not easy to talk to him, so he has been improving his strength in the restricted area for a long time, and he has not returned until today.

And if it was changed before, Jian Wugui would never make the judgment of compromising with the creatures in the restricted area. He could say such a thing, besides the fact that the grave guard is really strong, there may be other reasons...

"The restricted area is not a restraint, let alone protection."

While thinking about it, Xue Hongyu on the opposite side uttered the long-deciphered sentence again, and said in a deep voice, "I still stick to the previous interpretation method-the restricted area is not the restraint of the creatures in the restricted area, let alone the protection of human beings. It's a battle of life and death—but although it's cruel, the rules are actually more in favor of humans."

"And under such a premise, I think that the version update of the restricted area will never be carried out randomly, but there will be more obvious reminders! This is to give human 'players' a buffer period-just like the Equality Paradise incident half a year ago .”

Holding the teacup, Mr. Huang didn't think about it, but said, "So this heavy rain is a reminder for the version update, right?"

Unexpectedly, Xue Hongyu still shook his head: "Currently, the information is limited, so I can't make an accurate judgment, but besides the hint, I suspect there are other possibilities..."

Mr. Huang was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly thought that the heavy rain that Xue Hongyu mentioned earlier might be an opportunity, so he had an idea and asked, "Is this the special... special event that you young people mentioned in the game?"

He is an elderly person who has never been exposed to video games, so he doesn't know how to describe it specifically.

Xue Hongyu smiled slightly: "Perhaps it can also be called a 'special copy'. As for those monsters that suddenly appeared - they are 'wild bosses'. I think this is a more accurate description."

Although Mr. Huang couldn't understand, he could vaguely understand the other party's meaning, and analyzed: "These monsters that target high-level extraordinary people are powerful, but they are not impossible to kill..."

At this moment, a childish and active voice suddenly sounded: "Boss is rewarded! Where is the boss, I want to fight the boss!"

The white-haired Mo Leng ran towards the two of them unsteadily, hugged Xue Hongyu's calf tightly, and said excitedly: "Sister Hongyu, I'm a man, I want to fight the boss!"

Xue Hongyu touched his little head, and said softly: "But you have already beaten the boss."

"no!"

"Yes, just today."

"No..." Mo Leng was about to shake his head to retort, but he seemed to think of something suddenly, and asked strangely, "Could it be those few things that Grandpa Huang asked me to erase today?"

"Yes, you are the strongest powerhouse." Xue Hongyu praised.

"No, the boss is a very powerful thing! Those guys are so weak... they are clearly miscellaneous soldiers!" Mo Leng looked suspicious.

Xue Hongyu smiled and said, "That's because you are so powerful, so fighting a boss is like fighting a soldier."

Mo Leng's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears. He quickly wiped his saliva, hugged Xue Hongyu's calf even more tightly, and said expectantly, "Really...really?"

"Sister Hongyu, am I really that manly?"

"Yes." Xue Hongyu smiled, "You are the most powerful man, but a man will not disturb other people's business."

"I'm a man, I don't bother you!"

Mo Leng straightened his face, and quickly walked back in front of the wall with his short legs, and stood up in a military posture again.

Seeing his cheerful appearance, Mr. Huang was both amused and helpless: "Only you can fool this kid."

Xue Hongyu shook his head and said, "I didn't fool Mo Leng, he is indeed a very remarkable man."

Huang Lao didn't say much, but continued: "You said those monsters are bosses, did you find something?"

The corners of Xue Hongyu's mouth hooked slightly, and he nodded.

...As a wild boss that is not easy to deal with, how could there be no kill rewards?

And if what you expected is right...
