Chapter 772: Creating a Dungeon in a Dream
Nisto headquarters, high-rise suite.
Xu Yang and Faroza are together.
"My biggest feeling about the whole thing is...strange." Faroza bent one leg.
She was covered by a silk blanket, like covering two mountains with a curtain, still looming, and the outline could be seen.
Xu Yang turned off the light.
The neon lights and holographic advertisements outside flickered frequently, like ripples of light and shadow.
"What's so strange?" He lay down next to Faroza.
"I can't influence that at all."
"Information warfare?"
"Of course they launched an information attack, and I couldn't surf the web. I was furious at first, but I found I couldn't even fight back. The Law of Reply can only put the burnt cables back together, but most machines are visually It’s intact, I can’t see what’s going on inside at all, and I can’t tell which machine is broken, so I can only stand by, like an ignorant person.” Faroza complained.
The confrontation of modern technology is indeed different from the past. Xu Yang was thinking silently.
Just like establishing an independent ecology out of thin air outside the real world, the online world has its own set of laws.
This is also a restriction on witches.
It didn't say which witch's natural magic power is "controlling network traffic" or something like that.
Unless it is a reality manipulator, who can directly tamper with the real world situation.
"Will it make you feel uneasy?" Xu Yang explored Faroza's thoughts.
"I don't know. It's like an attack launched by an invisible assassin or an invisible phase demon. I can only watch from the sidelines and collect people's worries... It's not good." Faroza said slowly.
"It will get better." Xu Yang told her.
They hit a pile.
"...Where are we talking?" Faroza pressed her forehead, looking for more blankets, "Oh, my anxiety is gone now, it's all over."
"But you seem to be thinking about other things." Xu Yang observed Faroza.
Faroza closed her eyes in thought.
"I'm thinking about other things, I appear in the dreams of witches, but I don't have a specific message to convey, so I always lie with my back to them," she said.
"What? Like a silent mountain?"
"Yes, they were watching me from a distance in their dreams. After all, I can't show my true face."
"Maybe you can expand your power, that is... create your Witch's Dream World, a unique world, and put mountains, stairs, and difficulties and obstacles in it for witches to climb in their dreams. Then you will no longer be silent back." Xu Yang put forward his wonderful idea.
Faroza was moved by Xu Yang's concept.
"Yeah, I can create a dream porch, a maze, and complex mechanisms. I can check how they deal with these mechanisms in their dreams, and then distinguish their personalities and abilities." Faroza mused.
Because the fingers accidentally touched together, they fought again.
"Huh...huh..." After the incident, Faroza wiped her face, "Where are we talking?"
"A labyrinth in a dream." Xu Yang said.
"Yes, I want to create a huge dream of witches, they will enter at night." Faroza began to construct her dream, "dream witches can come to this huge dream, it is twisted, illusory, beyond The understanding of all entities, not recorded by any history, is the history I created."
Faroza huddled under the covers and began to construct her witch's dream.
She will trap the witches inside, the weak witches will be plagued by nightmares, and the shrewd witches will benefit from it, and then they will long for more dreams, and find the enlightenment of the witch god from the dreams.
In this way, Farosha can select powerful witches from all over the world, manipulate them secretly, form a link with them, and establish some kind of reliable connection.
It seems that witches will have wonderful dreams from now on. Xu Yang thought secretly.
Since Farosa is the God of Witches, it is not a problem to instigate a large number of enemy witches. It's just that the scale has to be controlled, otherwise hostile forces may notice this and take countermeasures.
Xu Yang also fell asleep and regained his strength.
Because the time difference varies from place to place, when Xu Yang's main body is dormant, he can switch to other areas to work at will and adjust the focus of work.
In Reshuzhou, "cyber demons" are still fighting north and south.
Unknowingly, the mechanical legion it established has included 20,000 human and mechanical soldiers, 750 heavy vehicles, and established more than 80 strongholds in the interior of Reshuzhou, with a population of astonishing 23 million , but in terms of the area of Reshuzhou, it is still sparsely populated.
Because of his poor background, Xu Yang's work in Reshuzhou still revolves around robots.
The locals have no education, so they can only do the simplest machine maintenance work, get paid and broaden their knowledge.
In other places, robots take care of human life. Only in the New World Front in Reshuzhou, humans become humans to take care of all the needs of robots and ensure that they are maintained in the best possible way.
After all, the work efficiency of a robot is about the same as that of 100 local people combined. In this process, talents such as technicians and mechanical apprentices can also be gradually cultivated.
The local people were nervous and uncomfortable at the beginning, and then gradually got used to their new way of life.
Ratmen also continued to flow to Reshuzhou from various channels and joined Sally's command. People, machines, and ratmen are constantly mining raw materials, building roads to generate electricity, organizing production, and building homes day and night.
In time, a rather strange hybrid civilization will appear in the hinterland of Reshuzhou! People will be astonished when they discover the great changes that have been secretly taking place in this place.
Xu Yang is very confident about this.
And the synthetic human "Hassan" he controlled in the Near East is currently working hard to serve the noblewoman Aisha.
Aisha was an ambitious woman, but her influence was small, consisting of a few estates and two orange spice fountains.
Hassan must constantly provide Aisha with information and advice, help her cope with various natural disasters and man-made disasters, and of course satisfy her emotional needs.
Now, Hassan has increasingly become a trustworthy AI advisor in Aisha's eyes, and the advice it provides can gradually influence Aisha's decision-making.
It was always so insightful that Aisha almost had to ask Hassan about everything. Just like Ye Zi always relied on the orders of the "retainer" system, once a habit is formed, it is difficult to quit.
If it can be used to cut into the Near East, I am afraid it can also be used as a dark line. Xu Yang was thinking silently.
...
The next morning, Faroza woke up radiant.
"Witches will be content," she announced.
"What? Did you do anything good?" Xu Yang asked.
"I left different 'gifts' at different levels, some remnants of ancient secrets, some terrible influences, and they were forced to learn how to digest this new power and make it their own. As they climbed...they You will also offer your loyalty to me," Faroza said viciously.
"That must be very useful." Xu Yang said in a relaxed tone with his hands behind his head.
"When most of the witches in the world quietly become my loyal servants in their dreams, it will be my turn to let the witches launch the largest war. What is the Internet? Grasshoppers in the incorporeal world can jump at will , but the real world will be conquered by me. Whether it's the Seven Seals, or some other enemy..." Falosa's ambition reached its peak.
Xu Yang could almost see the terrifying phantom forming around Farosha, it was the shadow of a dream.
The dreams she provided to the witches were undoubtedly sinister.
Faroza has absolute concentration and enthusiasm for her career, and disappeared into the room at once, leaving behind a draft of a dream.
The idea I gave her turned into a practical example so quickly, she is really diligent. Xu Yang took the draft in his hand and observed it carefully.
The Witch's Dream created by Faroza consists of a series of complex cities, dungeons, mountains and other areas, which are occasionally changed.
Because Falosa has cultivated some benevolent characters now, she provides an area similar to a safe house. If you don’t want to challenge, you can sit in the room and wait for the dream to wake up, and it is happy and peaceful, and spent a comfortable time in peace. night.
She has prepared complex challenges for the brave, who must take action to explore, and each dream will continue the progress of the previous part. Resting in the safehouse of a new encounter rejuvenates and prolongs the dream.
Most of the area is guarded by powerful enemies, and the witches need to show their talents in the dream.
For witches who are not good at direct combat, Farosha will also provide corresponding mechanisms to defeat the opponent, and even some methods can directly skip the challenge, or grind the strong enemy to death with sloppy means.
It depends on whether the witches can show the two most important talents of Faroza in their dreams.
Strength and wisdom, as long as you have one, you can keep moving forward and get the treasure left by Falosa.
As the goddess of witches, she can easily give back to the witches some magic power growth gains, or precious knowledge. If many challenges are overcome, the witches will get real rewards from the dream.
Witches can also leave advice and phantasms, leaving reliable advice or malicious deceit to other dreamworld companions.
The most important thing is the death mechanism. Once the challenge fails in the dream, each failure will accumulate "Falosa's mark" because of fear. They are black lines and will appear on their bodies in real life.
It can not only speed up the growth of witches, but also cultivate their loyalty to Faroza.
Once you fail too many times, you will become a loyal servant of Faroza who has no resistance.
If you pass after a very small number of deaths, you are undoubtedly a witch with both strength and wisdom!
At that time, Farosha will come to her dream in person, as a reward for the brave, to answer her doubts and fulfill her wishes.
In order to avoid being discovered by hostile companies, Farosha has only conducted a small-scale test so far. She feels pretty good, and it is an excellent means of testing neutral and enemy camp witches with dreams.
Incidentally, it also greatly enhanced Farosha's prestige and influence as the God of Witches.
Falosa's current personality is still fragile, Xu Yang thought to himself, she must wait until she has won the support and support of most witches before she can truly unleash all her divine power.
Then start with this witch's dream and expand your contact with witches.
He got up and drank a cup of coffee, stood by the window and looked at the city. There were clusters of low ancient buildings in the vicinity, and there were many buildings in the distance, forming a visually significant skyline of Shanghai, symbolizing the majesty and prosperity of the entire city. .
Ishizaki Takashi's online memorial service was held yesterday, and today I will attend the real one.
Xu Yang asked A40 to follow him as a temporary guard, and then left for Takashi Ishizaki's house to visit his family, and then gave a speech at his funeral to ensure that his death would not be unknown.
Those who died for Nistor's cause will receive a grand farewell ceremony and enough respect.
Xu Yang visited the cemetery of Mingge Mountain, presented flowers for the deceased, and then set off to return.
"Fortunately, I am a mechanical body, and I can back up the consciousness chip. I am not afraid of death. I have been hacked to death many times, and I have new discoveries every time." A40 takes the concept of death very lightly.
"The copied consciousness is not the original version, there is no continuity, so you should respect yourself and don't die where we can't find it. Death is very serious." Xu Yang stood on the edge of Shangjing.
"Wow... When you put it this way, there are indeed so many people who died. Death just put a stop to them! So many dreams, ideals and pursuits are all gone." A40 looked back and saw Nisto company singing The cemetery set up on the mountain.
"Because death is so harsh, people naturally pursue eternal life." Xu Yang nodded.
Shura appeared like a phantom on the mountain road with towering green cypresses, looking at them with his arms folded.
"You are too young to talk about death." He said coldly.
"Yes." Xu Yang realized that Shura was right.
Let's grasp the meaning of "life" first. The loud heartbeat at this moment carries a greater weight than death.
