Chapter 788 Who Is the Loser?

Chapter 789 Who is the loser?

Pulling away from [Yesterday Again], Lu Yao found himself standing in front of the strange stone statue.

He sorted out the information he had collected.

[The Hermit], as the name suggests, left the group and lived a secluded life alone. He raised the black jackal [Anubis] and gave it divinity in the end, turning Anubis into a god.

There are many mysteries about him.

[The Hermit] self-deprecatingly said that he was a construction worker with congenital disabilities.

However, he violated the rules to raise dragons and was besieged and attacked by the spirit world army, but he didn't know whether it was because of his exile or because he escaped privately.

Lu Yao asked about the scarab Menis.

"I once heard Lord Anubis say that the [Hidden One] has the ability to create a large number of wonders. Some of the remains of these wonders were transformed by Lord Anubis into many pyramid tombs later."

"The [Hidden One] cannot talk about his origins, saying that it will attract tracking and detection. This may be a special rule that restricts Him."

The Scarab recalled: "After He came to this world, He was actually in a weak state. Later, after a battle with the spiritual army led by the giants, He stripped this place out, which is the prototype of the Dog City."

"The [Hidden One] did not leave many last words and instructions, but Lord Anubis respected Him very much. The Dog City was originally used to place the remains of Lord [Hidden One]."

"Oh, by the way, [Hidden One] also said a sentence repeatedly. 'Man creates God, then acts as God, and finally eliminates God and returns to the beginning.'"

This is also a retelling from Anubis.

Lu Yao raised his hand and summoned Baroye, An and Malik again.

These three spirits are closely related to the spirits, and they may know something.

But after observing, they could not identify the identity of the [Hidden One].

Only An said: "This sculpture has similar power to the statue, but it is a spectacle rather than a statue, which is very strange."

Lu Yao also noticed this.

What's more outrageous is that the way the [Hidden One] died was to turn himself into a spectacle.

Lu Yao continued to ask An: "When [Star Mythology] created [Sumerian Mythology], was it the result of a plan or an accident?"

"Master, this is the mission of [Star Mythology]."

An replied: "The order given to me by "Spirit Lord" is to guide mankind, establish faith, let them grow and multiply under our guidance, and become our most reliable followers."

That's all we know at present.

Lu Yao put away the [Mountain Hermit], which is a dangerous self-destruct device in itself.

However, it is still unknown whether it has the power described.

Lu Yao told the scarab: "Although the crisis in Dog City has been resolved, I suggest that we should eliminate the hidden dangers as soon as possible to avoid the recurrence of the situation like [God of Hypocrisy]."

"You are right, Lord Yao."

The tentacles on the face of the scarab slightly expanded: "The past pattern and arrangement can no longer cope with the current complex external environment. I have decided to close Dog City again and find a new position for Dog City."

"Of course, Dog City's foreign trade will continue, but it will be conducted through external anchorages such as [Western Paradise] and [The Other World]."

It is also a helpless move to close the country again.

Lu Yao expressed his understanding.

...

Back to the screen, Lu Yao searched the database of the committee and found no trace of the mountain hermit.

But he found the record of the four-eyed giant.

This giant is recorded in the history of Greek mythology, named [Hundred-eyed Giant] Argos. Legend has it that he was blessed and changed from four eyes to a hundred eyes. He never rested and always kept a stare, and was a strict and loyal monitor.

Argos has pure blood and is a member of the gods of the giant civilization. Later, the giants declined and were replaced by human civilization, and Argos was integrated into Greek mythology.

The four-eyed giant led the army of soldiers and spirits to attack the [Hidden Ones], which was undoubtedly the will of the "Spirit Lord".

Unfortunately, the giants have been hiding for a long time, and the giant civilization has remained closed.

Under the entry of Argos, there are two lines of unprecedented annotations.

"Note 1: Argos is a four-eyed giant, but a four-eyed giant is not necessarily Argos. There are also many bloodline branches within the giant clan."

"Note 2: Argos died at the hands of Hermes. This is because the twelve main Greek gods want to maintain their rule on Mount Olympus. They eradicated threatening giants in various ways to ensure that the giants will not be restored in Greece again."

Lu Yao read it carefully twice.

What is this mark like the thesis note? How did it pop up?

Did I use it the wrong way before?

He moved the mouse to the mark, and a line of watermarks [Internal Information] appeared, and there was another entry [Yellow Armor] next to it.

Ah?

My authority has been upgraded?

And, this account now belongs to me directly?

Lu Yao quickly called Song Shiyi.

"Yes, the account has been merged. My previous sub-account has been separated and turned into your independent account. You can change the password or bind it with a new mobile phone number..."

Song Shiyi said happily: "I was just about to inform you that the 'Wolong Talent Plan' has been officially approved this morning! You can see it on the second-level page of the official website. Because it is a special channel, there is no public announcement period."

"Mr. Huang, your account has now been upgraded to a senior account, with higher permissions than mine, so you can also see some information with a higher level of confidentiality. The mark you mentioned is that part of the confidential information."

Lu Yao suddenly realized.

So that's it.

That's indeed a good thing.

"Also, in terms of funding, the 4 million yuan of the 'Special Research Fund' has a special channel, but because it is a vertical fund, corresponding invoices are required for reimbursement. However, the Special Research Fund is very lenient. As long as there are taxis, air tickets, meals, accommodation, purchases of electronic equipment, etc., they can be reimbursed. Even if you tell me about some special expenses, I can also write a statement to reimburse... This is already the most lenient."

Lu Yao scratched his head.

This 4 million yuan is not easy to get.

He remembered that when he was in college, his teacher always complained about the school's financial reimbursement, and he had to pay for everything himself.

Okay.

Lu Yao thought that he could buy a new computer, a whole thin and light notebook, and copy the simulator into it for backup, so that he could be more sure that there would be no impact.

As for food and accommodation, he would talk about it when he needed it.

He really doesn't know how to spend all the money, and he feels awkward.

Lu Yao thinks that his current income is not a problem, and it's good to live a simple life.

In case he wakes up one day and suddenly finds himself surrounded by a group of police officers. Then Song Shiyi raised the arrest warrant in her hand and said, "We suspect you of embezzling research funds. Please come with us..."

Lu Yao had all kinds of random thoughts in his mind, and said to the other end of the phone, "Well, thank you."

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing."

Song Shiyi suddenly remembered something: "Didn't Rome officially announce the law of [All roads lead to Rome]? They officially opened the [Virtual Mirror] and also invited many myths... Teacher Zao is on a business trip, and he asked me to tell you that it's best to wait and see now, and don't touch the things over there."

Lu Yao was confused.

Announced?

When? Where?

Why don't I know!

He asked again, and finally understood that Rome had sent a notice through the [Palace of the Gods]. This is similar to a paid advertisement on the public screen of the Pantheon.

That's fine.

He had never been to the Pantheon, and it was indeed blank there.

"What is certain is that [Greek Mythology], [Celtic Mythology], and [Persian Mythology] have reached a cooperation agreement with Rome. Before that, Rome should have had dealings and negotiations with them in secret..."

Song Shiyi suddenly said: "Wait a moment, I'll take an emergency call."

The phone suddenly turned into a beep.

Lu Yao also reacted at this time.

When Minerva found him, it should be one of them.

Looking at this situation, Rome has already formed a small circle, and wants to form a small group around the golden channel of [All Roads Lead to Rome].

After a while, Song Shiyi called again: "Then I will continue. In addition to these three first batch of mythological partners, [Utopia] has also reached a reconciliation and cooperation with Rome."

Lu Yao was full of questions.

What is going on here?

His mind was a little confused.

"This is something we just learned about. Now it is basically certain that [Utopia] and [Rome] were cooperating with each other to put on a show."

"[Rome] was burdened with a large amount of debt, and [Utopia] took the opportunity to absorb many high-quality assets at a low price, and became Rome's largest debtor... Because the outside world knew that Rome would find it difficult to repay those debts, so when [Utopia] offered to buy, even if the price was not high, the myths were willing to act as soon as possible and leave at a loss."

Song Shiyi said helplessly: "They made a lot of money from this cooperation."

Lu Yao took a breath.

This group of old cunning!

No wonder [Minerva] knew immediately when [Mr. Smile] took action against the virtual mirror.

If it comes to a head-on fight, I'm not afraid.

But behind all this, there are all kinds of acting and alliances, and I'm no match for these old foxes.

Fortunately, I didn't get involved.

No wonder the Kitchen God Ding Hanzhen said that his judgment was correct, and now he continues to remind himself not to get involved.

These huge mythological groups behind the scenes are wrestling with each other, with open knives and hidden guns. It is indeed hard to guard against, and you don’t know who the enemy is.

He reminded himself again.

As a bystander, staying out of it is the best way to reduce trouble.

But this raises another question.

Rome and Utopia are the winners, so who is the loser?

Song Shiyi said: "We have always adhered to an impartial development strategy and did not interfere in internal affairs, so it is not easy to suffer losses. This time, the Great Qin suffered the most serious losses... They themselves suffered from the loss of contact with the expeditionary army, and the outbreak of the economic crisis had to sell off many assets, among which they were jointly embezzled by [Wuyou Township] and [Rome]."

"The industries purchased by Wuyou Township have long been converted into cash and exchanged for benefits through various means. If the Great Qin wants to deal with and confiscate them through various laws, the losses will be even more serious... According to our estimates, converted into the power of faith, the direct losses of the Great Qin this time reached 28 billion, and the indirect losses reached more than 70 billion, which is a heavy blow to them."

Lu Yao sighed in his heart.

The Great Qin Empire, which had once conquered the countless worlds of the virtual universe, has now become the object of being deceived and eroded.

The root cause is the weakening of national strength.

Lu Yao asked again: "What about the committee?"

"Let's join." Song Shiyi said matter-of-factly: "The committee has always been active in cooperating with all parties for win-win results, and joining the Roman road system will be more beneficial to us."

"Da Qin originally wanted to join, but the conditions proposed by Rome were unacceptable to them... It seems to be difficult."

Lu Yao was not happy to hear this.

When did the Great Qin Empire suffer from this anger?

If Qin Shihuang was still alive, he might have directly declared war on Rome.

"The other one is Buddhism, and they are also standing still. However, their situation is special. They have a huge mythological hub like [Western Paradise], and they don't have much demand for [All roads lead to Rome]."

Song Shiyi added: "Now all parties are marching towards the virtual mirror and the border zone through the Roman channel. All parties are now increasing their investment in this, which can be regarded as the main trend recently."

…

hang up the phone.

Lu Yao thought to himself that the committee was the most reliable. Although the Heavenly Court had various restrictions - all reimbursements had to be invoiced, it was only one word of certainty.

Lu Yao expressed deep sympathy for Da Qin who was deceived by Wu Youxiang and Rome.

He decided to personally support the Qin Empire.

After all, my title [Sui Zhu He Bi] and the title [Long Qianjun] were all obtained from here, and they are somewhat emotional.

So Lu Yao opened the talisman "Great Qin Longqianjun" and double-clicked it hard.

The most practical support is to spend money in Daqin!

This is how I, Lu Yao, repay Da Qin.
