Chapter 4 The Simulated World
Walking side by side with Zhou Hao on the way to the Temple of Gods and Demons, Shen Yi asked: "Boss Zhou, can you tell me about the Chariot of Ashes? From your tone, this team is very powerful. *. extracurricular book"
Although Cliff would give Shen Yi information after the Dane family officially dispatched men to hunt and kill Shen Yi, Shen Yi didn't mind learning about the chariot of ashes in advance.
Hearing what Shen Yi said, Zhou Hao chuckled slightly: "The Ashes Chariot may be considered the strongest team in the apartment area, but this is not their scariest part. To be precise, the truly terrifying thing is not the Ashes War. car, but this Dane family and the sect created by this family."
"Purgatory Sect?"
"Well, this is an out-and-out sect composed of lunatics. There are all kinds of people in it, and there are all kinds of difficulties." Zhou Hao replied: "In fact, it is precisely because of the existence of this sect that the Dane family's The forces can reach the sky with their hands and eyes, covering all areas of the five difficulties. That's why they are so scary...offending this family, you will be unable to move an inch."
Shen Yi understood.
Just like the evil emperor wants to kill Shen Yi now, he must either be in the wilderness, but the wilderness is randomly teleported, it is too difficult to find, or he is in the mission world, so he has to wait, or find someone to take action, but the person who is looking for is not necessarily Reliable, you have to give benefits.
The Dane family doesn't have this trouble. The denomination represents faith, and the family represents blood. Both of these can exist across regions, so their strength is spread everywhere. Wherever there is a problem, the Dane family can immediately pull out a A group of people came to kill them aggressively.
Unlike mercenaries, this is a direct descendant!
If that's all, it's fine.
The crux of the problem is that direct lineage can be cultivated.
Someone once asked, why don't people in high-difficulty areas cultivate some of their own people from low-difficulty areas?
The answer is: insufficient trust and high investment risk. It is not that if you give money, the other party will come back alive, and it is not that if you give money, others will be willing to work hard for you.
But the Purgatory Sect at least solved the problem of trust - the fanatical religious belief made it difficult for newcomers to betray easily, thus having the value of being cultivated.
Therefore, the Purgatory Sect is rare, and it dares to invest in urban newcomers.
For adventurers of difficulty 4, 20,000 to 30,000 blood points are nothing, but for newbies of difficulty 1, this is a huge fortune.
As long as they are willing to join the sect, accept brainwashing, and dedicate their loyalty, they can get the favor of the sect.
In addition, low difficulty is limited by level, and advanced skills and props cannot be purchased beyond the level. Ordinary high-level adventurers can also sell to low-level adventurers, but often with additional profits, which makes low-level adventurers unaffordable.
The members of the sect can directly enjoy the preferential treatment, not only will not be increased in price, some outstanding performers will even receive discounted treatment.
This is why Christine has a powerful skill like Kowloon Shockwave in the third difficulty-of course, his gains have nothing to do with performance.
Of course, some of this group of people will die, and some investments will be in vain, but those who survive are often the elite.
And these sect elites will eventually be sucked into the Dane family by a group of people and become members of the family. .
For example, this is how Cliff entered the Dane family.
It's a pity that although he is full of genius, because there are still two obstacles in the way, the position of the third heir is almost destined to be his end. If he can't become the number one heir before entering the fifth difficulty, it will be very difficult for him to have another chance in the future. The Dane family will definitely not choose an heir from the fifth difficulty level—the boss will not choose from the old man who is about to retire.
It is precisely because of this that he will turn to the outside world and work in tandem with the business.
Therefore, the Purgatory Sect can also be said to be the outward extension of the Dane family's power, and it is an important external environment for them to absorb family members.
However, the Purgatory Sect does not belong to the Dane family alone, and some other forces "take shares" in it, but the Dane family, as the founder, is the core force in it.
In this respect, there is still a difference between the Dane family and the Purgatory Sect.
The Chariot of Ashes is such a team of adventurers armed with the full support of the Purgatory Sect, and it is also the team of law enforcement officers of the Purgatory Sect.
Every member of the Chariot of Ashes is a fanatical purgatory sect member. They are the sharpest sharp knife of the sect in the city. Wherever the sect's finger points, they will kill there.
Because of their religious beliefs, these guys believe that they can be redeemed after death and enter heaven, so they are not afraid of death in battle. Some even learned the self-destruct skill, ready to die with the enemy at any time. In the sect, there are a large number of fanatical believers waiting as candidates for the chariot of ashes. Whenever a person dies, the sect will arrange for one person to enter, so that the overall number of people will always remain at around ten, including seven full members and three reserve members. member. The reserve members are the self-destruct trucks that will always charge forward, and if necessary, they will immediately self-destruct.
In addition, the Chariot of Ashes is a cross-regional team, and there are members of the Chariot of Ashes from Purgatory Sect in each difficulty area. Although the city system does not allow duplicate names, the solution to the problem is also very simple - add a number after the team name or symbols will do.
For example, add a 0 after fate.
Currently active in the third difficulty area is the Alpha team of Ash Chariot, but they don't like others to call them Alpha, but require others to be named Ashes Chariot.
If someone violates it, it must be enmity.
From this we can see the dominance and ferocity of the Chariot of Ashes.
And as the most important external force of the sect, they have also received a lot of resources from the sect, and some of them have the blood of the demon god!
What's interesting is that the number one heir to the Dane family is the captain of the Ashes Chariot Alpha team.
This is understandable why Cliff told Shen Yi to be careful of the Chariot of Ashes.
Even if the sect doesn't plan to send the chariot of ashes, I'm afraid Cliff will try his best to instigate it.
"You killed Christine, old Cato will definitely not let it go. Although the Dane family has other teams besides the Ash Chariot, all of these teams are of mediocre strength. If the Ash Chariot is the future of the Dane family The elite reserve team, then the other teams can only be regarded as the reserve team of the Ashes Chariot. The reputation of the Broken Blade team is not small now. It is very possible that one or two auxiliary teams will come along while the car comes to chase you down. The way of the king is to outnumber the few, so this is destined to be an asymmetrical war." Zhou Hao reminded Shen Yi .
"Old Cato?" Shen Yi didn't pay attention to Zhou Hao's warning, but instead asked about the name Zhou Hao mentioned.
"Well, Christine's father, whose original name was Stian Gato, joined the Dane family after entering the city, and changed his surname. In the eyes of the Chinese, this is called deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors, but these guys There are no ancestors at all in my eyes, as long as I can live, my mother will sell it, so it’s nothing to change my surname.” Zhou Hao’s tone was full of disdain: “But although he changed his surname, everyone is still used to calling him Cato, but now It's old Cato... This guy is now a general with difficulty five, and he is about to complete the mock exam and become a city defender. If you kill his son, he will never let you go. And I..."
Zhou Hao sighed: "I'm about to enter the fifth difficulty, and I'm likely to fight side by side with old Cato by then. This old guy has a high status in the camp now, if he knows that I'm helping you, he will never let me go .”
What he meant was that he no longer dared to help Shen Yi out.
Shen Yi didn't mind at all, but what Zhou Hao said aroused his curiosity even more: "The guardian of the city should officially become a member of the city after completing five difficult tasks, right? But the mock exam and the status of the faction are What's the meaning?"
Zhou Hao smiled: "As expected, you already know the meaning of the city."
Shen Yi shrugged: "It's not unusual, the city itself may be letting out the wind intentionally or unintentionally, let everyone be mentally prepared. But I'm very strange, since I came to the city, I don't seem to have seen any generals with difficulty five , These guys live on an independent island, so they can roam the wilderness at will, killing an adventurer to get some rewards is not like playing, why can't they see people?"
"Of course it's because I don't have the time and energy." Zhou Hao sneered: "The fifth difficulty is different from the first four. It only has one mission world. All our promotions are actually carried out in this mission world, and The mission remains forever, never the same."
Shen Yi's heart moved: "There is only one mission world?"
"Yes!" Zhou Hao replied, "It's the mission world of StarCraft!"
it is as expected!
Shen Yi clenched his fist secretly: "That is to say, starting from the fifth difficulty, we will officially start a war with the Zerg, right?"
"No." Zhou Hao shook his head: "To be precise, it is a world that simulates the battlefield outside the city. The Zerg inside is still made by the city and is not a real Zerg. However, with all the strength of the opponent and the environment they are in , are exactly the same as the outside world.”
"That is to say, after the generals enter that world, they must first simulate fighting the Zerg, thinking that they will leave the city in the future and prepare for the real battle?"
"Yes, that's it. So at that time, the adventurers in the four regions will be together, and everyone will be under the same roof, in the same virtual universe, and fight the same kind of enemy. And some adventurers, just With my own strength, I can gain a very high status in that mission world. Old Cato is a bastard with a very high status in one of the camps. If I enter the fifth difficulty, I will have to act according to his face. So I am not afraid of evil My God, but I never dare to provoke the Dane family... Their strength is too great! Even if Old Cato leaves the fifth difficulty one day, he can still ask other members of the Dane family to deal with me, and their power will be passed down from generation to generation! "
Speaking of this, Zhou Hao gritted his teeth, looking quite helpless.
"So it's like this..." Shen Yi nodded: "But it doesn't matter, I am already very grateful that you can tell me this. But since this is the case, can Boss Zhou tell me more about the fifth difficulty? "
"No problem." Seeing that Shen Yi could understand him, Zhou Hao felt a little more broad-minded: "After entering the mission world, adventurers must start fighting against the Zerg. Since the time flow of the StarCraft world is exactly the same as that of the city, this has caused everyone You can freely enter and exit the mission world, but it is very likely that when you return to the city for one day, and then return to the mission world, you will find that the base you have worked so hard to build has been destroyed by the Zerg, so no one dares to leave easily. These Zerg are not the Zerg in the game, In fact, they entered the urban world before us and were strengthened by the Queres people. In a sense, they are our predecessors. They have powerful desires, biological warships of their own, and more Strong reproductive ability. Since the existence of this task world, no one has ever completed the task of eliminating Zerg.”
"Because if we can kill virtual buggers in the mission world, we can kill real buggers outside the same way, right?"
"Yes!" Zhou Hao nodded appreciatively: "The city has built a war world that completely simulates the Zerg in this space. The purpose is to find ways to defeat the Zerg, develop various tactics, and find the enemy's weaknesses. Over the years, the city has This simulated world has contributed a lot to being able to withstand the attacks of the Zerg again and again. Unfortunately, they only blocked the attacks, but no one was able to destroy them... This is the sin of the Queres themselves. They studied the Zerg and tried to When using the Zerg as their spiritual carrier, they endowed the Zerg with the ability to evolve infinitely with the environment and the attacks of the enemy, so that these guys can still evolve by themselves even if they leave the city. Now, they want to fight back in order to regain This space belongs to God's dream come true! And we are fighting to the death with our predecessors!"
"So that's how it is." Shen Yi took a deep breath: "But I remember a saying in the city that as long as adventurers complete five difficult tasks, they can enter the Tongtian Tower and realize one of their wishes..."
Zhou Hao laughed: "So now you understand? No one has ever been able to complete this task. There are only two ways to leave the city. One is that it is impossible to complete the task. Complete it, eliminate the Zerg in the virtual world, enter Babel tower, go face the master. The second is to fight a small battle, destroy a certain number of Zerg, build enough meritorious deeds, prove that you have enough ability to fight against Zerg, and then escape from the fifth difficulty, become the guardian of the city, and officially become the city Part of the fight against the Zerg invasion."
"So, the reason why the rumor is not true is not because it is a lie, but because it is too difficult to realize?"
"As I said, this is an impossible task. Do you know who the Lord of Hell is on the thirty-sixth floor of Hell?"
Shen Yi was stunned: "It can't be..."
"Zerg brood!" Zhou Hao replied: "In this world, Zerg is the most terrifying life that has been killed from the bottom of hell, and their brood is a demon god that is so powerful that you can't even imagine it. The super-terrorist existence of confrontation!"
