Chapter 267 124. The Conjecture of the Path
After the cutscene ended, the players began to get together and discuss the plot.

The first to speak is the female professional player cumin powder:
"Let's all have a showdown."

"What's the showdown?" Yu Tianxiao, who was old and cunning, immediately began to pretend to be confused.

"What else can it be? You don't really think that everyone put aside training and come here to take on this long-term mission in space just to enjoy the game?"

She casually flicked her green-pink short hair, revealing the shocking prosthetic body interface on her forehead, and said bluntly: "They were all sent by the superiors to scout the way, and it is estimated that we will not be on the field for a long time in the future. We are familiar with each other. As a reminder, don’t you want to share your impressions?”

"I'm not looking at the water dispenser." Ye Zhanjian muttered immediately. Among the 4 professional players who came, he was the only player who was currently on the main bench, and the other three were players in rotation.

"Then it seems that the [Endless Trail Blazers] team wants you to take a different route?" Old Ganye's Garedon asked curiously while grilling chicken wings.

Ye Zhangjian laughed twice:
"You don't understand, let me tell you something inside: the four countries that joined the Terra Federation, plus the alien colony division, there will be at least 32 teams competing for the final professional competition. In order to take care of the alien colony netizens, The competition will not start until the next version, version 2.0."

"Then why don't you stay at the base of Azure Star and play the training game well?" Cumin powder gave him a contemptuous look, "It takes such a long time to prepare for the battle, if you don't build equipment and hone your skills, you can go out to fish, be careful not to get in All league."

"No and no." Ye Zhanjian shook his index finger: "Do you think there are no spies in the competition area of ​​the Terra Federation?"

"Oh?"

This matter suddenly attracted Yu Tianxiao's attention, because Qiongyu's center of gravity had not yet shifted, and his ability to collect information was far inferior to that of everyone present here.

"What do you mean by that, do you think there are colonies inside?"

"Of course." Ye Zhangjian pointed to Li Aoz who was not far away, and said, "You don't know yet, Li Aoz has successfully stepped out of the circle and become a well-known figure in the colony. Seeing the true face, I went directly to the home planet to form a support club."

Cumin powder waved his hand: "There seems to be no necessary connection, right? It's just a fan support club for generating love."

"Do you think the embassy is really just a diplomatic building?"

Ye Zhanjian gave this cyberpunk girl a blank look:
"Why do the people in Xiangxiangji always have such straight minds - the more foreigners gather together, the easier it becomes a den of spies. According to the owner of a big club, these Li Ozi clubs - referred to as 'Zitong' 'The members have already purchased equipment and training venues, and registered studios, one of them is in our hot summer, and if there is no accident, they will definitely be active in Azure Star in the future."

"Understood, in the name of a fellow player, he actually came to spy on our Azure Star intelligence." Yu Tianxiao reacted: "This is not considered spying on commercial secrets, normal game behavior, reasonable and legal."

"Hey! These alien rich guys are obviously so rich, but they can't afford to lose?" Garridon said contemptuously: "It's shameful, if you can't afford it, don't play it."

"It's because they are rich, so they don't care about it. But we can't, we are professional players. If we don't play well, we won't be able to keep our jobs."

Ye Zhanjian sat down and talked eloquently:

"Of course the training can't be delayed, but there must be some hole cards. These alien masters can at most see the professional style and equipment status of our Azure Star, but when they go to the universe, they don't know anything about us."

"Good countermeasure, but if you go to space as the main force, it won't affect the training?"

"No, I'm a veteran professional player. As long as we keep our mystery, we will definitely be caught by surprise when the time comes, and the old aliens will be stunned."

Li Aoz, who was in the distance, heard Ye Zhanjian's confident words, and his expression suddenly became strange.

Because according to his memory, in the first season of Ye Zhanjian, because he ate a bowl of spicy beef noodles, he had diarrhea and felt unwell, so he did not participate in the competition.

There was no news of the match yet, so he said that he would definitely be able to play well... Li Ozi had seen champagne opened at halftime, but it was the first time he had seen champagne opened at the beginning.

[I hope the spicy beef noodles can be merciful. 】

Li Ozi prayed silently for the poor child.

Players also have their own views on the plot.

"If what Li Ozi said is true, then the existence of GTB is completely a hoax. I don't understand. The Four Kingdoms know this, so they shouldn't fight each other at all. Just put out the GTB and put it out. Wouldn’t it be good to share the knowledge of the universe?”

Garyton rubbed his chin, he couldn't understand the logic.

"You idiot - when the time comes, all Azure Stars will be Beta-level powerhouses. Which country can manage such a huge power? Everyone is a transcendent, and the existing resources and civilization can't accommodate it no matter how you look at it." Bar?"

Cumin powder rolled his eyes and was speechless:

"At that time, people's armed forces will be greatly enhanced, and they will not be reconciled to being ruled. The society will be in chaos, and it will go back to the era of the law of the jungle like beasts."

"You are too one-sided. It seems that when artificial intelligence first started, the creators who had studied painting for ten years were far inferior to the rapid generation of AI, so a lot of people lost their jobs because of this."

Yu Tianxiao shook his head:

"But later, with the further development of AI and the establishment of industry rules, AI has become a tool for creators to assist in creation, which greatly saves time and training costs."

"That being said, Azure Star has no future at all—look at the sky, there is no sun, where is there time to develop? Compared to this, it is better to compete for existing resources, maintain the current status quo, and slowly pass The war consumes the population so that the resources can be maintained.”

"Thinking about it this way, the situation of Azure Star is too hopeless..."

"So just let GTB monopolize knowledge like this? Even, doing so can actually maintain the existing order—oh, it's disgusting, and you have to thank the other party even though you're stuck in the neck, what's this called!"

"In the final analysis, it is Mr. Entropy's fault, but it can develop into this way, and the blue star is really to blame."

Although at the level of players, it is still far away to work in GTB, but many people have already obtained a lot of benefits from GTB, and 40.00% of the task entrustment is taken over from GTB.

Now that the truth about GTB has been revealed, players' favorability towards GTB has plummeted.

Fortunately, you are all pragmatic players. After a while of mental shock, we continued to discuss.

"But compared to this, have you noticed that Li Aoz said a very subtle thing." Ye Zhanjian reminded.

"Which one?"

'Everything you have accepted - [Mechanic], [Warrior], [Biochemist] and our best [Mutant], these inheritances, in the universe, are all paths to godhood. '

Ye Zhanjian recounted it again:
"This sentence is very interesting. If you contact the video dialogue of the original promotional film, you will find a subtle coincidence."

"Explain in detail." Yu Tianxiao squinted his eyes, he had already opened the original promotional video and started watching it.

Ye Zhanjian opened the promotional video and fast-forwarded to the part he wanted:

"In the original promotional video, it was mentioned that 'the sons of Star Abyss refused to be obliterated. They ascended from the throne of mortals and turned into noble and brave gods. With supreme courage, they started a beast-like fight against the Destroyer.'"

"And this passage connects—the three Destroyers come from the outside world, they are greedy, they just repeat killing and destruction, and after devouring the outside world where they were born, they set their sights on the star abyss."

"This sentence is very interesting... The background of the story is that [Jewel Dragon King] Levitandar, [Dark Titan] Gelbros, [God of Insight] Eye of Discernment, three destroyers invaded the Star Abyss from the outside world, And the local life in Xingyuan was not willing to be destroyed, and ascended from a mortal to a god to fight against these monsters."

"So, Li Aoz also said that it seems that gods are not uncommon in the universe." Cumin powder touched his chin and thought.

"The following description is also very intriguing."

Ye Zhangjian briefly described:
"It is the six main gods who are facing the three destroyers."

"[God of Destruction] Dumfis, challenge the Dragon King and die in battle."

"[Fine Art Pioneer] Yaza Luofei was torn apart by the Titans and died in battle."

"[Strange Origin] Spector, let the discerning eye break it down, divide it into three parts, and its whereabouts are unknown."

"The real name of [Salvation Fairy] is unknown, but I found his name in the setting collection on the official website—Lian Ding. But it seems to have been sacrificed, and his whereabouts are unknown."

"[Spirit of Looting] Red King, this is a [-]-year-old traitor. It should be useless and not very powerful."

"[Dominant Will] Murphidria did not die from the Destroyer, but was eaten by society, and his agent, the God of Reality, was also killed. Combining what Li Ozi said just now, on the society side, Basically, it can be confirmed that it is one of the big villains of the game."

"Speaking of which, haven't you found out yet?"

This is the end of the Yezhangjian conversation, and the players have naturally reacted.

"[Destruction], [Exquisite Art], [Strange], [Redemption], [Looting], [Master]." Yu Tianxiao thought thoughtfully: "Every god is exactly the same as our six professional factions. Similarly, Li Aoz said that this is a road to God, is this a coincidence?"

"I don't think it's that simple." Garydon took a bite of the chicken wing, chewed it, and analyzed: "If this is a path to becoming a god, why share it and let everyone go?"

"Think about it, if I have mastered a path to becoming a god, why don't I monopolize it? And share it with others? Isn't this nonsense?"

"That's right. Mathematics, physics, and chemistry are all basic subjects that can reveal the truth of the universe. Why should we share it so that everyone can learn it?" Cumin powder laughed and joked.

"Isn't this nonsense! If you only learn these theories, if you don't learn professional knowledge, without the cooperation of a group of people, without the division of labor and cooperation, it will be useless—"

Garytown came to a sudden:
"So there must be very strict conditions for becoming a god... Just like building a battleship, if only one person does it, it is impossible to complete it, or even if it is really built with bare hands, there is no way for one person to exert its strength."

"I think it should be like this." Yu Tianxiao thought for a while: "Since the cosmic civilization is willing to help all the blue stars to be promoted to the gamma level, it shows two points: first, the gamma level is not a threat to them; second, Only when you reach the gamma order can you complete some tasks."

This logic is easy to understand: In the agricultural era, people did not need any level of education to provide production, so the rulers had to fool and weaken the people.

But in the industrial age, factories need literate workers, precision instrument factories need specialized technicians, senior engineers, and enterprises cannot do without designers and research developers, otherwise they will be eliminated. Therefore, rulers will pay attention to National education and quality improvement.

Substituting this logic into the goal of becoming a god seems to be understandable.

Extraordinary people can have a longer lifespan to experience, a stronger body to fight, and a smarter brain to learn-and all of these are actually to meet the certain needs of civilization for "gods".

Only high-quality talents can meet the requirements of candidates for ascending to the gods.It can even be said that superhumans and laborers are essentially the same thing.

"Perhaps the cosmic people don't just want the location advantage of the Azure Star, but also want the people of the Azure Planet to provide them with real gods?"

Yu Tianxiao put forward a point of view:
"Think about it, if the number of workers is large, the factory can reduce the cost of employment. When the number of workers is small, the factory must raise wages in order to attract workers... If the people of Azure Star, no, I mean, as long as individuals step in Once you have entered a certain career path, you have the qualifications to ascend to the gods. For civilization, it is natural that the more extraordinary people the better, the lower the production cost of gods will be."

"That's unknown... But such a plot is too bold."

Ye Zhangjian complained:

"If you think about it this way, wouldn't those advanced civilizations be able to enslave and mass-produce gods... No, maybe gods are a kind of advanced war unit in the universe, or even supercomputers, production machines."

"It's not impossible. You can see that just fighting against the three Destroyers, the gods of the six factions are all finished. The gods may just be high-level scroll kings like postdoctoral fellows."

"You mean: These high-ranking gamma-level transcendents on the blue planet are actually the same as the students who graduated from vocational schools and went to work in factories to turn screws—fuck, don't want that kind of thing."

Li Aoz smiled slightly as he listened to the speeches of these people.

Although there were not too many hints, the players were not stupid and quickly understood the logical relationship.

In fact, for the players of their era, it was a bit too late to realize this—the first time they entered the star abyss, the stronger the individual, the more curses they endured, and finally the strongest The player directly trapped a version in the second layer of Star Abyss, and when he dived again, he was already 40 levels behind everyone.

If you are facing a monster like society, let alone, individuals will never be able to defeat a society, kill their speaker, at worst, just replace it with another one.

The benchmark of society is civilization. If there is really an 'individual' who can fight against society, then there is only the other side of society.

Fortunately, however, Li Aoz doesn't need to face the society directly.

He turned to look at the freezer, stretched out his hand, touched the transparent glass, and looked at the biochemical body inside.

A few months ago, he had fought against the biochemical body of Professor Mingji, and suffered a lot.Now, it's his turn to teach [White Knight] and the Tianhuan people a lesson.

"By the way, Ms. N4."

"What's wrong? Not satisfied with the product?"

"That's not the reason." Li Aoz pointed to the 'Pioneer' and said, "Can you add a strength limiter to me?"

"What do you want that for?"

"It's nothing, the data is too high, it's boring to crush."

Li Aoz rubbed his neck, showing a kind smile:

"Restrict the data to the Beta level, I want that guy to know that without poisonous blood, he is nothing!"
