Volume 19 Chapter 160 Time Flow System

The pocket watch Mosana gave me has a very strange name called "Speed". Its level is an evolutionary high-end artifact, and it has only one attribute: speeding up or slowing down designated people within a certain range according to the user's wishes. time flow rate.

The attribute of the strip is very abnormal. If you can literally manipulate time at will, let alone me, even a rookie who has just reached level 200, as long as his IQ is not less than 80, It can easily kill any player in the game whose level is no more than 1,200, and if the person controlling this watch is a player with level 1,000 or above, then he is invincible.

Of course Mosana wouldn't give me such a perverted thing, at least not now. The literal thing is indeed achievable, but only if the watch is upgraded to full level.

Yes, this is a planned piece of equipment, just like the Shenlong suit I have on me. With use, it will continue to strengthen, just like the player or the player's magic pet. This kind of equipment can also accumulate experience points. . The only difference from living creatures is that the ability improvement of evolutionary equipment is not a level-based staged improvement similar to that of players, but an improvement anytime and anywhere. To put it simply, evolutionary equipment has no level. They absorb a little experience and immediately increase their power. There is no need to accumulate to a certain standard and then suddenly upgrade to increase their power.

The current ability of "Speed" is not as exaggerated as what is written in the attributes. It can currently only change the time of non-resisting personnel, which means it is useless to the enemy, because the enemy will definitely resist this change of time, and Only your own personnel will cooperate with you in changing the time flow rate. However, this ability to change the flow rate of time is very suitable for the name speed, which is the speed of time.

The current range for changing the speed of time is one hundred meters, which means that the effect will disappear beyond this radius. Regardless of whether the other party accepts the change in speed, it will only take effect within a radius of one hundred meters. In addition, the current range of the speed's ability to change time is only from 12 speeds to 4 speeds. In other words, the hour speed can make a person's time flow rate up to half or four times the normal value.

Don't underestimate this half speed and four times the speed, the difference between the two is absolutely astonishing. Of course, due to the current impact of the speed level, it is temporarily impossible to enforce a time-changing strategy on the enemy, so slowing down at that time is actually meaningless, but this acceleration is of great use. For example, if I'm fighting an enemy now and I adjust my time to four times the speed, what will happen? The result is very simple, that is, my speed will be so fast that the other party will not have time to react.

Everyone knows that when people dream, the time flow rate of dreams is different from reality. Some people can even have a complete dream that lasts for several days in a few minutes, but in reality, his body actually only Just a few minutes. This phenomenon shows that human thinking is actually many times faster than our body's reaction. As a game prop, its real function is to change the access speed of the game, causing the player's brain to enter an overload working mode, or to reduce the access speed, causing the player's brain to enter a partial dormant state. This kind of adjustment to the brain actually involves very high-end brain access technology. Longyuan Group has only recently completed the practical application of this technology. This is why "Zero" did not open similar functions in the early stages of the game.

In addition to limitations in speed adjustment, another limitation on speed is the energy that drives it. Speed ​​is not a prop that can be used without limit. Its activation requires energy support. However, it is so fast that it is not very picky. Whether it is magic power, fairy power, or witch power, as long as it is the energy carried by the character, it can be used. It is compatible with almost all common energies except that it cannot be driven by magic crystal. But having said that, even if the speed can really be driven by magic crystal, with its consumption speed, it is estimated that ordinary people will never be able to use it. Even with my magic power, this thing can only last for ten minutes at most before draining my magic power. However... I just discovered a way to exploit the loophole, which is to give the speed to the magic pet to activate. I have so many magic pets. If I take turns taking turns, I might even be able to permanently drive them.

In fact, it doesn't matter even if it can't drive the speed permanently. Anyway, this thing only needs to be used for a while during combat, and there is no need to keep this thing on. Of course, it would be best if it could be started all the time, because the speed upgrade method is calculated based on usage time. If I could keep it active, it would upgrade very quickly.

Speaking of which, I really want to see the feeling of accelerating the flow of time hundreds of thousands of times when the speed reaches the full level! But then again, can this thing really accelerate to that level? Although I am a dragon and my brain's computing power is millions of times stronger than that of humans, the speed is still a piece of equipment. It's not made for me, it has to be adapted to the average gamer's brain. You must know that most of the players in the game are normal humans, and although the human brain flows faster than time in reality, this speed also has a speed limit. If you speed up your brain thinking without limit, the final result will only be to burn the player's brain into an idiot. Therefore, I doubt that this speed has a maximum speed limit, and this limit is likely to be higher than the upper limit of normal people's brain thinking. It has to be limited by a much lower speed. After all, according to international practice, any artificial equipment must leave a certain safety range. For example, an economy car with a nominal speed of 140 kilometers, if you remove the engine speed limiter, it can actually run to a speed of 160 or even 180 kilometers, but it will only be driven below that speed. Safety cannot be guaranteed. If the car flips over, the people in the car may still survive. Speed ​​is directly controlling people's brains. If something goes wrong with the brain speeding, everyone will definitely die. There will be no exceptions. . So I estimate that the speed limit must be much lower than the upper limit of normal people's thinking, in order to prevent some slow-brained guy from being used very well by others, and he will be burned into an idiot as soon as he uses it.

With expectations and worries about speed, I finally left the Gate of the Earth and returned to Ditans' reception room. The moment I stepped out of the Gate of the Earth, the entire game suddenly stopped. It wasn't that the game was stuck. Instead, it paused completely. Almost when I thought there was something wrong with the game, the system prompts suddenly rang.

"Attention all players, this is a full channel system broadcast. Since some players have obtained the first time adjustment equipment since the game was launched, this game will be fully updated. During the update period, the entire server will be suspended. There are currently seven minutes left in the update time. Twenty seconds. Players can decide to temporarily log off or wait in the game according to their own conditions. Players who feel bored can start a temporary mini-game or directly start the forum access mode." After a slight pause for a few seconds, the system prompts continued Said: "After this upgrade, the system will fully open the time mode. In the future, different time flow rates will appear in some game areas. The system will add a time speed meter to the player interface so that players can check the current time status when needed. The game There will not be a separate time flow rate change reminder set in the map. There are currently two categories of flow rates available in the game: acceleration and deceleration. Since the time acceleration method will cause the player's brain to overload, the fatigue level will increase faster than in normal games. Speed ​​up. In normal mode, the player is equivalent to a semi-sleep state when gaming, while in half-speed mode, the player is equivalent to a light sleep state. If it enters a state below one-eighth speed, it is basically equivalent to sleeping. If it enters a high-speed state mode, when time accelerates to twice the speed, the game is equivalent to a fully awake state. In the four-time speed mode, the player may be doing heavy physical labor and will soon feel tired. In the eight-time speed mode, the player can only play in reality. If you persist for two hours, you will be kicked out of the game because your fatigue exceeds the warning line. Currently, the highest time the game is open is the ten times mode. Higher times mode requires players to pass the system-specific test before it can be opened. Players can add new ones in any city Test in the time test area of ​​the system service area."

After reading this long broadcast, the system completely entered a silent state, and four options appeared in front of me: offline, visiting the forum, playing mini games, and continuing to wait. I thought about it and decided to just wait. Anyway, the entire update time was only about seven minutes. When the system announcement ended, there were only three or four minutes left. This little time was enough to go offline and go to the toilet. I don’t have that need anyway, and browsing the forum is probably just enough for me to open a few pages, so I might as well wait here.

A few minutes passed quickly, and the system started counting down in the last thirty seconds. When the time reached zero, I immediately resumed action. That guy Ditans rushed to me almost immediately, grabbed my shoulders with both hands and asked anxiously: "How's it going? Have you found a way?"

"The solution has indeed been found, but I'm not sure whether we can definitely get Olivia back."

"Why?"

"Because that cave is not safe. As you can see, these extra people are actually team members at different points in time, and there are obviously casualties among them, and the proportion of casualties is not exactly the same. Obviously, at different points in time The conditions encountered by the personnel in this cave were different, so the development was deviated. I am not sure that your Olivia is still alive, but as long as she is still alive, I should be able to find her. "

Ditans also knew that it was useless to say anything at this time. He could only helplessly say to me: "Then help me find it as soon as possible. Although I also know that Olivia may not be alive, but you must You have to do your best! As long as he lives, you must bring her back to me."

I nodded, then pointed to the other Olivias around me and asked, "What should I do with them? Send them back or stay with you?"

Ditans thought for a moment and said, "They should ask themselves this. I can't help them make a decision."

Those Olivias obviously did not expect Ditans to help them make decisions. As soon as they heard our conversation, they immediately shouted in unison: "We don't want to go back!"

Although their decision is a bit surprising, it makes sense after thinking about it. However, if they don't go back, I will have to handle this matter alone. But thinking about it on the other hand, it’s convenient to go alone. Anyway, I have enough magic pets, and although the passage of the cave is not narrow, it is absolutely impossible for me to release all my magic pets to join the battle, so I go So many people are useless.

Because if I delay for one more minute, Olivia will be in more danger, so after I decided to save people, I immediately started taking action. First, Ditans and the others used shadow teleportation to send me to the Antarctic, and then...

Then I almost froze!

"Ah... Oh my god! I just came back from under the lava. I just rested for a while at Ditans and then I was sent to the Antarctic. The difference between hot and cold is too big, right?" Looking at it Surrounded by a vast expanse of white snow, it felt like a completely different extreme from the previous lava lake. What makes me particularly depressed is that the time of my arrival seems not very good. The Antarctic side is currently blowing strong winds above level 9. Although it does not affect my movement, the temperature is really cold enough. "Frost and snow."

"Here." Along with an ice whirlwind, Shuangxue appeared beside me. Looking at her cool gauze, I felt even colder.

"Are all snow monsters not afraid of the cold?"

Shuangxue covered her mouth and chuckled: "Have you ever seen a snow demon that froze to death and a fire elf that died of heat?"

"Even if you're not afraid of the cold, can you at least consider how I feel? It's freezing cold today, and if you wear such little clothes, I feel cold even if you don't feel cold!"

"I'm not cold. I'm wearing so many layers. If you feel cold, let's hurry up and wait until we get to the cave. At least there won't be too much wind in the underground maze."

I completely agreed with Shuangxue's opinion, so I quickly summoned Ye Ying to pull Shuangxue and quickly ran forward. Although the temperature here is extremely low and the wind is strong, Yeying's speed is not affected at all, and because of the protection of the snow demon Shuangxue, the temperature around us is not that cold.

In fact, snow monsters are not only good at cooling, their real ability is to control temperature changes. However, because they are better at cooling, few snow monsters will actively heat, but they can create a constant temperature environment for Ye Ying and me. Still no problem.

With Yeying's speed and the spiritual beacon given to me by Ditans, I quickly found the magic mark that Olivia and the others left at the entrance of the ice cave, less than fifty meters in front of the mark. It's the entrance to the ice cave.

"Okay, let's see what's under this ice cave that will turn the flow of time into a mess." I said and drove Ye Ying to run directly into the ice cave. The passage of this ice cave is wide enough. Although the steps dug out of the ice are slippery, Yeying does not move by the friction provided by the ground anyway, so riding Yeying is much smoother than walking on our own.

We had just entered the ice cave, and before we could reach the fork in the road that Olivia and the others mentioned was like the hall, we heard a fight in the distance. Ye Ying immediately accelerated and rushed over without me reminding him. I hope the one I'm fighting is the Olivia I'm looking for!
