Chapter 1338 Observation

After Lin Nian arrived in this strange world, he never forgot what his top priority was.

When he got off the dilapidated subway train and walked into this seemingly ambiguous city, he realized that he had probably reached a certain "level" in Nibelungen, so the first thing he had to do was to find out the test questions of this "level".

So he chose to collect intelligence and called Lu Mingfei. In an unknown environment, contacting companions for help was the most important thing to do - the first person he thought of was actually the blonde girl, but Yelena was on strike, so he could only find Lu Mingfei as a second choice. After all, in his opinion, Lu Mingfei was his kind. When encountering unknown situations, Lu Mingfei was probably the most reliable one except Yelena.

Although the Lu Mingfei he contacted was not the Lu Mingfei he wanted to find, after collecting some information from the other party, he gradually had a little understanding of the world he was in, and he also had some guesses in his heart. It was at this time that Su Xiaoqiang was sent to him.

This is basically the task hint given by this "level". When you enter an unfamiliar game environment as a player, no matter you take two steps forward or a few steps back, you will inevitably encounter the first triggering point. It is obvious that Lin Nian thinks that Su Xiaoqiang is this special NPC, and he can find some clues to break through the level in her.

It is a very reasonable setting. If the first NPC is Su Xiaoqiang, even if Lin Nian does not hold this set of thinking, he will take the initiative to help. The designer has calculated his personality and developed this "level" specifically for him.

Then, the story of Su Xiaoqiang's father suffering from cancer really appeared in front of Lin Nian. It was more like meeting an NPC with a golden question mark on his head halfway. You took the initiative to greet her, and she came to your door and told you: Adventurer, I am very sad recently because my father is seriously ill and urgently needs a kind of herb to treat him, but I can't find this herb near the village. Only brave adventurers can enter the dense forest full of monsters to find the herb I need. Can you help me save my father?

For a while, Lin Nian really thought that this "level" was a magic RPG game based on the real world. What he had to do was to help Su Xiaoqiang save her father who had cancer, and then discover the main task in the process, find the lost partners all the way, go to the Demon King's City to find the final boss, maybe a dragon king, a god or something, and keep going through the level.

Then according to this pattern of thinking, he might as well just call the "future partner" who is probably the main character in this "level" to his side (this is why he called Lu Mingfei and the others), gather all the elements and conditions, speed through the game, and defeat the boss at the end of the level.

But just now, looking at the face of the strange Su Xiaoqiang, in the short time of contact with her, he naturally and quickly directed the trajectory of some things to the direction he was accustomed to, just like what he had done before, and when those familiar historical processes were about to repeat themselves, he suddenly stepped on the brakes.

He had different ideas.

He began to think that this "level" might not have a boss that he needed to take action at all.

He might have found the wrong direction of the strategy from the beginning.

The verifications he conducted on the highway just now also confirmed his current ideas.

Just as he had guessed before, he was imprisoned in this city by a mysterious force, like an invisible birdcage covering a certain range. He could only move in this space. As long as he touched the boundary, he would encounter the transparent wall. All his sights could only see the black module and the green height line.

He tested the barrier many times. First of all, violent breakthrough was almost ineffective. This should be the rule overwritten at the bottom.

Secondly, in the eyes of local residents like Su Xiaoqiang, the world is still the same world. They can freely pass through the barrier that blocks Lin Nian. This means that those green and black edge modules are not unrendered, but cannot be rendered in Lin Nian's perception.

There are only two possibilities for this phenomenon.

Either he needs to gather the necessary conditions and elements to open the qualification to go to the next map, and those unrendered modules will open the pass to him. This is a very kingly RPG mode, and it is also in line with the gameplay of Nibelungen, the "Nine-fold Ghost Domain".

Either this level doesn't need violence to pass it, the entire level is only in this city, in this peaceful area, which also explains why Lin Nian didn't find the god he had seen before after so many rounds on the viaduct. He originally thought that thing would be the boss at the end of the level.

Maybe the level he is facing doesn't have a boss at the end of the level at all. Compared with the orthodox RPG, this is more like a puzzle RPG.

Find the puzzle, then find the answer yourself and complete the level.

And the puzzle of this "level" may be related to the "future" that is flying by now, this strange timeline.

Think, Lin Nian.

Think dialectically, indifferently, and without emotions.

The timeline of this world itself has meaning. Why is it that when he arrived, Su Xiaoqiang was an adult, Lu Mingfei became the president of the student union, and everything was in the future tense, rather than the past tense before everything started?

If he returned to a time point when everything had not started yet, and the timeline was still at the beginning of school, or even earlier, then the theme of this "level" would undoubtedly be to kill gods and dragons when he saw them. He only needed to raise his sword and keep killing, and there would always be a time to break through the level.

But now this timeline has been moved to the future. In this future, is there really anything for him to cut? Is there any meaning for his violence?

This naturally gave rise to new questions.

How strong he is, how violent he is, how calm he is, has never been the theme of this world. Everything in the past has become the past tense, and those things that have passed have nothing to do with him. After he came here and threw away his claws and violence, the only thing he could do was one thing.

Observe.

Observe, not change.

Just like the Su Xiaoqiang who appeared in front of him.

He thought that Su Xiaoqiang appeared in front of him because he needed him to take the initiative to help her and change her fate and life. Even if he put aside the "level", he would choose to take the initiative to help Su Xiaoqiang.

But just when he was about to change something, at that moment, he realized something, a very ironic thing.

He seemed to have held this idea and this concept for a long time, and changed the fate and life of Su Xiaoqiang.

And now, he was trapped in this "level", and the purpose of trying to crack this "level" was to try to save his own Su Xiaoqiang who was in the life and death crisis of Nibelungen.

In the coffee shop, the little goddess sitting in front of him was still the proud daughter of heaven. She graduated from Fudan University and had no contact with the messy world of dragons and hybrids, so she naturally would not know him, would not fall into the crisis of Nibelungen, and would not need a Lin Nian to worry about her.

If he told this strange Su Xiaoqiang about the world of hybrids and dragons as he did before, how would her future be distorted? Can she protect herself after intervening in that chaotic and dirty world?

Yes, he knew the answer, because he had practiced it, so when Su Xiaoqiang asked this question before, he chose to keep silent. Even at that moment, he even questioned whether to continue to help Su Xiaoqiang - if he rashly helped her, would the mixed-blood world target her? Can he always be here to protect her and ensure that she will not be tempted and offended by those messy people and things? Is his willful change really good for her?

All the questions came to his mind at that moment, so that Lin Nian gradually touched the real stem of this "level" and really questioned his questions.

This world does not exist without him. Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang do not know themselves at all, which means that the operation of this world is separated from the factor of "Lin Nian", and it is under the influence of the butterfly effect that such a future is caused.

There are many things that he can no longer change, everything has already happened.

Everything in this world tells him that all he can do is observe, observe what this world without "Lin Nian" will be like.

The puzzle became clearer and clearer. Lin Nian felt its outline, a sharp and piercing outline.

[Lin Nian, is the "change" you think you are really what they need? Without your saintly care, will the world be worse or better? ]

After sitting in the cafe for an unknown period of time, Lin Nian realized that there was someone standing next to him. He turned around and saw a young man with black hair and a tennis bag. His butterfly-black eyes were full of scrutiny and silence.

The first person to arrive at the cafe was Chu Zihang, who had joined the executive department and was full of coldness and indifference.
