Chapter 431
"Tolls?" Lu Chen looked at the old woman with a look of surprise, "You...you're not really Mother Meng, are you? You don't want me to drink Mother Meng soup, I'm not dead yet, and this is not the underworld. ?"
The old woman still kept an unsophisticated smile on her face, "That's just the legend of your little world, it's still very different from the real Jiutian, I'm not a Meng woman, I just collect tolls. "
"how much?"
"A memory about the person you love the most." The old woman said with a smile, "Just one, the price is fair."
"Come on, be fair, sure enough... Then I won't go over your Naihe Bridge, I'll just fly over."
"Young man, do you know what's in the Wangchuan River?"
Lu Chen looked at the river under the bridge, it was pitch black... But now he was on the river, looking more closely, only then did he realize that the river was not black, but... red! That color of blood after prolonged exposure to oxidation...
"is blood?"
"All the players who died in the past will have a part of their souls pulled out and trapped here... Don't look at me so surprised, death requires a price, and it's the same everywhere."
"Of course, in the first and second heaven, the power of the soul lost after death can be supplemented by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is why players lose experience after death, and Jiutian is using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish their damaged souls."
Lu Chen's shock couldn't be further added. An NPC on the Naihe Bridge subverted his understanding of Jiutian again.
When Jiutian was launched, other games needed "experience" to upgrade, but Jiutian was set to "Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi". At that time, people just thought that it was Tian's behavior that was more in line with the setting changes made by "Xianxia-themed online games". , but only now did Lu Chen understand that the spiritual energy of this world still has such a terrifying effect!
Even for a moment, Lu Chen felt that "Nine Layers of Heaven" was a little scary!
The old woman continued with a smile and said, "So many worlds, so many people, how many times have you died, you should understand this, and the Wangchuan River can be said to be the most aura of heaven and earth in the second layer, no one!"
"Over the area full of spiritual energy, the convection of spiritual energy is violent, and some places can fly at low altitudes, but the Wangchuan River is not, because it not only condenses spiritual energy, but also resentment!"
"The negative emotions of each player at the time of death will be collected, and the accumulation will add up. The layer of fog on the surface of the Wangchuan River is the result of negative emotions!"
"Trust the old woman, if you don't want to die, then don't try to fly over the Wangchuan River."
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, hesitant.
At this moment, on the Naihe Bridge, a mighty team of dozens of people came up.
Seeing that Lu Chen had no decision, the old woman went to greet the group again.
Among the group of people, a middle-aged man seemed to be their boss, with the ID "Brother Datou". He glanced at Lu Chen, who was beside him, a little puzzled.
Why is there a single guy here...
"Hey, my friend, why did you come to Naihe Bridge alone?" Big Brother Datou ignored the old woman and walked towards Lu Chen.
The second layer is very different from the first layer. More people in the first layer means strong strength, but in the second layer, you see a group of people in the wild. The fewer people, the more powerful they are!
Only if you are strong enough, you can break through the wild in a small team situation.
There are at least 70 or 80 people here, and it is estimated that there are two regiments. The strength is probably relatively average in Erzhongtian.
However, Lu Chen never cared about the strength of others, and he never put on airs when they approached them enthusiastically.
"Oh, me, I came first, are you going to cross the Naihe Bridge?"
"Yeah, my friend, how many people are in your team?"
This sentence is obviously to explore Lu Chen's strength.
"Thirty or forty."
"Oh, that's about the same strength as us...Are you interested in joining us? After crossing the Naihe Bridge, it's very difficult. I used to be in a group of forty people. Later, my friends joined another group. There is a care." The elder brother with vote was surprisingly refreshing, "You know, in fact, it is more difficult for us to get along in the second layer... It is much better to have a care."
Lu Chen nodded, "Yes...but...we..."
When the elder brother saw Lu Chen, he was unwilling, and immediately said, "It's okay, hey, I just want to mention that the key to forming a team is mutual trust.
Lu Chen still had a good impression of the eldest brother, who was quite refreshing.
"By the way, this eldest brother, what are you going to do about the toll of Naihe Bridge? She wants a memory about the person she loves, which is a bit exaggerated."
"What else can I do? If you don't pay the toll, you can't get through. You can only give it."
"Then, will you really forget it after you give it? I mean you will forget those memories in reality?"
"Sure, at this stage, Jiutian is connected to the game through the brain consciousness, isn't the memory stored in the brain."
Lu Chen took a deep breath, saying that the toll is a bit "expensive".
"Would this be too much?"
The eldest brother took a look at Lu Chen, "Young man, you are a pure and cute newbie... You are too real! There is a chance for this thing to be exploited!"
"Ah?" Lu Chen looked at the eldest brother with surprise, "Is there a bug?" Lu Chen really didn't know where there was a chance...
"Of course there is! Forget it, we are also destined, I'll tell you that. She doesn't want the memory of the person you love the most... You usually love a few more people, and then there will be a lot of choices!"
Lu Chen was shocked!
What kind of bug is this?
"People, you must always be fraternity, don't be so narrow-minded!"
Lu Chen took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, "What big brother said... makes sense!"
"But is there any remedy now?"
The eldest brother took a look at Lu Chen with a look of hesitating to speak, "cough, there are some, but that, recently, I have been short of money to buy medicine... I can't remember it for a while..."
Lu Chen immediately understood, and gave the eldest brother 100 gold, and the eldest brother with the investment looked at the money with some disgust, "As the head of the team, you must also consider for your subordinates..."
Lu Chen stuffed another 900 gold.
1000 gold is not even a drop in the bucket for Lu Chen, but it is definitely a huge sum for the average player.
"Looking at the younger brother, he is a man of temperament!" Big brother Obito's eyes lit up, he quickly put away the gold coins, and then whispered in Lu Chen's ear, "I have never heard a word... Give her a thousand gold coins and she will let you pass!"
"This!"
"Little brother, but I also want to tell you something." Big Brother Datou suddenly became serious, "The road to the nine heavens is as difficult as going to the sky, the fewer ties you have, the farther you can go in the end, but the bridge is for you Become stronger!"
"If you cross the Naihe Bridge and forget someone, you will get a 10% attribute bonus, and at the same time forget those useless things. In order to become stronger, more people choose not to give money to cross the bridge..."
Lu Chen frowned slightly.
"Brother, what about you?"
"Me?" Big brother Oitou smiled a little lonely, "I have too much on my shoulders... If I'm not strong enough, I can't even protect the people I love the most. What's the use of remembering?"
"If you love that person enough, then... forget her!"
