Starting From Zero

Chapter 36 Curse Letter

When Son of the Night arrived at Essinger, I had already been waiting by the teleportation array for a long time. "How did you get here?"

"I was intercepted by a few women on the road and wasted some time. What does the boss want from me?"

"Come with me."

Before arriving at the Magic Crystal Power Research Institute with the Son of the Night, the first reaction of the Son of the Night was to stop. "Boss, why did you bring me here?"

"You'll find out when you come in."

Make your way through the huge institute vestibule and into the advanced laboratories at the back. There is a spiral staircase in the middle of the laboratory that goes all the way down. When you reach the bottom, you walk to a door where more than 0 NPC guards are on guard. I waved them to open the door, and 40 soldiers pushed the door together, and the huge stone door more than one meter thick slowly opened.

After entering the gate is our guild's confidential research center. Physical models of all the scientific and technological achievements owned by our guild can be seen here, from magic crystal power thrusters to gravity resistance devices. These are our most precious technologies. . But today I took the Son of the Night to see the golem. When I first arrived at Yunxiao City, I suddenly thought of a question after thinking about Children of the Night. Since we don’t understand many principles of the golem, why can’t we just ask directly? The Son of the Night can communicate directly with inanimate matter. This is a translator. With him translating for us, we can figure out the true uses of things from the golem that we don't know what they are used for.

Seeing my arrival, several NPCs and players here gathered around. The most enthusiastic one was the mummy warlock who had just joined us. Compared with his previous laboratory, the equipment here is almost complete, and this guy is in a state of excitement every day.

"President?" Several members greeted me.

"Why are you here today...?" The mummy warlock asked me carefully what my purpose was.

I pushed Son of the Night forward: "This is a strange person in our guild. He has a specialty, that is, he can communicate with inanimate things."

"Communicating with inanimate things?" The people around him were a little strange. After a few seconds, a German girl suddenly shouted: "Ah! I understand, he can communicate directly with the devil!"

"Hehe, you are right."

"Great! Come on, come on!" Several girls rushed up in a swarm, and the child of the night was so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind me.

I stretched out my hand to block them: "Wait a minute! Don't get excited. The Son of the Night has a phobia of women. You can talk to him, but do not have physical contact, otherwise he may suffer from mental shock."

There was a roar and everyone stood in two rows to make way for the middle of the road: "Please."

"Wait a minute." I quickly stepped aside and pushed over a trolley used to hold the golems. "You stand up here." After the Son of the Night teleported up, I explained to those people who stretched their heads: "The Son of the Night paid a lot to obtain this special ability. One of them is that he can't walk. If he wants to move, he has to rely on Teleport or hop around like a Chinese version of a zombie."

"Understood." A few girls rushed over quickly, pushed me aside and pushed the cart to the demon dolls: "Okay, now let's introduce ourselves." The girls announced their names one by one and said: "Okay , now please ask Mr. Ye Zi to help us ask why these damn demons are not moving."

"My name is the child of the night, and the night is not the leaves."

"No matter, anyway, hurry up and ask this guy why he can't move. We have repaired all the parts and installed them all back. Normally, he should be able to move. But this guy just doesn't respond."

This golem is the highest-end golem I got back from Switzerland. It has armor on the outside and a skull-shaped internal structure on the inside. Even if the outside is broken, the inside can still be used. But this thing has not been touched since I moved it back from Switzerland.

The Son of the Night looked at the demon and stared at it for a long time. Then he put his hand on the demon and closed his eyes. After waiting for a while, he opened his eyes and said to us: "He has no fault, no." The reason for the activation is an error in the activation code."

Boom, a large area fell in the room. I got up from under the table and asked, "What is the code word?"

"He refused to say it!" The Son of the Night pointed at the puppet and said, "He said that the magic circle in his body restricted him from telling others to activate the code words."

"Then ask if there is any other way to activate it?"

The Son of the Night quickly returned to the golem and started communicating. After a while, he finally opened his eyes. "No, this devil's intelligence is too low and he doesn't know anything except combat skills. He is a machine driven by magic. He has no soul, so he can't think at all. He doesn't understand anything I say!"

The mummy warlock next to him said: "If there is no problem with the machine itself, but the control core refuses to start, can we replace the entire core?"

"Replace the core?" said a German girl next to him: "That is the core, something as complex as the human brain. If you open it, you can't put it back!"

"But if you don't do this, you can't move. Anyway, it's a dead horse being treated as a living horse. If it doesn't work, you won't lose anything. If it works, of course it's better."

mm objected: "No. If we don't dismantle it, we might still have hope of cracking the magic circle. If you dismantle the core and can't put it back together, we'll really be doomed!"

"If you don't dismantle it, wouldn't it just be a pile of scrap metal?"

"If it is dismantled, it will really become scrap metal."

Neither side can convince the other, and the argument is meaningless and has no outcome at all. "Okay, okay, all of you, please be quiet." After suppressing both sides, I looked at the demon doll. "If it really doesn't work, take it apart first and have a look. If it doesn't work, let it go. Even if it's broken, at least we tried hard."

"Okay then!" The German girl accepted my suggestion.

The mummy warlock excitedly said to the assistant next to him: "Quickly, move that devil to the operating table."

Several assistants quickly put the golem on the operating table, and then the mummy warlock picked up the tools and began to disassemble the external parts. I planned to watch them dismantle the golem, but it turned out that this was not a good idea. The mummy sorcerer's hands and feet were so clumsy that he broke the lubricating oil pipe and sprayed engine oil all over my face.

"Ah! I'm sorry, President!" The mummy warlock quickly apologized.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and take it apart. I'll go wash it myself." He walked to the door and turned to Ye Zhizi and said, "Notify me of the results soon. If I'm not online, leave me a message via private message." .”

"knew."

After I left, the people below immediately resumed their intense work, and I had to wash off the oil on my body first.

After the cleaning, we transferred a few new patrols to the city and took these guys to the blood pool for experimental upgrades. It turned out that the patrols could not be upgraded with the blood pool. They originally wanted to get advanced units, but now it seems that they are not available. Hope.

It feels like I haven't been offline for a long time. Now that everything in the guild has been arranged, I don't have much to do before the construction of Fulcrum City is about to start. I just happened to be offline for activities. After taking off the helmet, I went to stretch my body, then walked around the base and asked about the completion status of the game equipment of the Lucky family. After receiving the reply that it was almost completed, I told Lucky and the others the good news, and then came back online. , looking at the time, I actually wandered around for more than 3 hours.

My message board started shouting as soon as it went online. It seemed that the disassembly of the golem was over. I was shocked when I opened the message board. There were more than 100 messages on my message board, and they were from different people. After reading the content, it almost pissed me off. The contents of the messages were almost the same. They all said: "Forward this message to 7 friends, otherwise the whole family will die within 7 days." It turned out to be a curse message!

To start a private chat, contact Night Child first. "Is the work over?"

"not yet."

"Approximately how long will it take?"

"They said it would take more than three hours."

I looked at the time: "Okay, don't contact me during this period."

"What happened?"

"I have something to take care of, don't worry."

"Well, I'll let you know as soon as this is over."

"OK."

After cutting off the private chat, start the guild function interface, find the chat records, intercept all the public chat records of the guild in the past three hours, then start the information search and enter the keyword: "Forward." After a few seconds, a large row of players was found name.

It's really unbearable. Almost all the information channels of the guild have this text message, and while I was checking it, this message was spreading rapidly at an explosive speed. This is what I least expected to happen, but it still happened.

There is really no other way, just activate the guild ban function, and all messages with the word "forward" will be automatically intercepted. This function only limits the transfer of information between people within the guild and will not interfere with external communications. It is mainly used to facilitate the guild president to block messages under special circumstances. Now, text messages or private chats with the word "forward" between members of the guild cannot be carried out. Not to mention text messages, even private chats, as long as this word is mentioned, it will be stopped immediately. However, this function has a flaw. Just cannot intercept the information of the guild president and vice president. Sending messages to the president and vice president will not be intercepted.

I just banned the dissemination of this newsletter, but soon someone took the initiative to contact me.

"Boss." The person who contacted me was a former player of the Goddess League, and I knew him fairly well.

"What?"

"Why is the message function in the guild banned?"

“It’s not about banning messages, it’s about banning illegal messages.”

"What is an illegal message?"

"Think about what you are posting." I was very angry and spoke louder.

The man felt quite aggrieved. "I do not know!"

"Don't tell me anything you know or don't know now. I don't have time to deal with these things. I'll wait for the guild announcement later." After cutting off the chat message angrily, before I could open the guild management, my private chat turned up again. Ringed.

"President."

"Woma? Are you still online?"

"I just got online."

"What do you want from me?"

"That's it." Woma paused for a while before speaking: "I don't know why there are so many more messages on my message board. The content is the same, but the sender is different. The content of the letter..." Foreign player I had never seen anything so boring before, and I was confused for a moment.

"No need to say anything." I interrupted her: "I understand. Don't send those letters now. Leave them alone. I will deal with them."

"But my message board is almost full. I originally wanted to contact a few technicians about the progress of the work, but now I can't send it out at all. Also, my assistant wrote me a mining report on Qidian. I I can’t find it at all, the mailbox is full of junk letters and I don’t know where the one I want has been squeezed in!”

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it right away."

I'm really angry. These guys are deliberately trying to cause trouble with us, and they use such despicable methods to deal with us. Start guild announcement. "Attention to all members, a large number of spam messages suddenly appeared within our club. I ask everyone to stop sending these letters immediately. From now on, it is prohibited to transmit such messages. Whoever sends them will be expelled from the club immediately. Do not delete the letters that have been received for the time being. I To trace the source of the letter, please cooperate with everyone. Now please open the guild channel, the communications department will immediately connect starting point city and Tianyu City online, I want to broadcast to all personnel. "

After a few minutes, everyone online started the guild channel and waited for my instructions.

I entered the public channel and said: "Everyone, please pay attention. I will answer whoever I ask later, and don't speak if I don't ask."

First open your mailbox, find a curse letter, and look at the sender. "Okay, is Spark here?"

"I am here."

"Very good. I have a letter here from you. Who sent it to you?"

"It's a white ghost."

"Then the white ghost is online?"

"I am here."

"Who gave you that letter?"

"The scum of light sent it to me!"

Just checking them one by one, I found that they were all posted by others. It took about an hour to find the first person in our guild. Let everyone go about their business and I called the guy in front of me.

This person was one of the reserve players recruited during the last China regional guild competition, and was later promoted to a full member due to the expansion of the guild. "Your letter has blocked the main communication lines of our guild. Do you know that you are wrong?"

The guy nodded and said very aggrievedly: "Actually, I know this is not good, but I really don't want to receive those curses."

"I know, you don't want it and neither do we." I didn't close the guild channel. This voice was intended to be heard by the entire guild. "You send out 7 letters, and the people who receive them must forward them again. Once the 7 letters are forwarded, it becomes 49. These 49 people forward the letters after receiving them, and the 49 letters become 343, and then these 343 people forward them again. That’s 2401 letters. What do you think will happen if this continues?”

The man whispered: "Not everyone can send it."

"Indeed, there are not many people who forward it, but there are definitely a lot of people like you. Even if an average of 2 people forward it without sending 7 letters, the letter will continue to expand. After 10 times, it will be 1024 letters at a time, and then Woolen cloth?"

"It's not that serious, is it?"

"It's not that serious?"

I immediately shouted: "Woma, is the letter you were looking for just now important?"

"Yes." Woma immediately replied: "That's the statistics of Qidian City."

"Have you found it now?"

"Just found it."

"How long did you take this?"

"About minutes."

"Okay." I turned to the guy in front of me and said: "The mining progress of Qidian City is the funding progress of our guild. If you mine one minute earlier, you can get 100 more crystal coins of minerals. And because of you, just In this place, we directly lost 00 crystal coins, which is 20,000 yuan. Will you pay for this money?"

"It's not like I took the money."

"But the loss of 20,000 yuan is because of you. And this is still a direct loss. Woma is the main engineering staff of our guild. Do you know how precious her time is? Delaying her time is delaying all of us. , and I discovered your thing very quickly today. What if I’m not online? If it continues to spread, Woma won’t be the only one who can’t find the information. Various departments in our guild use messages to communicate with each other. What should I do if the time is delayed between various parts because of you?"

"this……!"

I didn't wait for him to come out and continued: "The system has just been upgraded, and the guilds have spheres of influence. You all know this. But once the patrolling NPCs find enemies, they will come back directly to report. The players responsible for city security will receive the report I will be notified immediately in the form of a message. And my message board is all covered with these things. If I don't see the battle alert because of this, who do you think will bear the consequences?"

"Yes...I'm sorry, I didn't know it was so serious!"

"I know you don't know, so I'm here to tell you. We usually find it annoying when we receive spam, but why don't you pay attention when you send it yourself? Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. This The reason is simple, right?"

After that, I announced to the guild: "Listen, everyone, this information transmission incident is over. I will not pursue it this time. But don't blame me next time something like this happens. Whoever will be fired will be fired." No matter what the reason is, as long as you post it, you will be kicked out of the guild."

After sending the announcement, I closed the public channel and said to the unlucky guy: "From the perspective of the matter, you are a heinous criminal, but from a personal perspective, you are just superstitious. I am criticizing you because I am too angry. You actually did something like this, do you think you are stupid?"

"President, I really know I was wrong."

"Don't apologize. I said I won't trouble you if I don't pursue it this time. I'm usually a darker person, but a promise is a promise, and what comes out of my mouth will not change. Now tell me I, did you write this message? I think you also received it from someone else."

"Yes!" This guy almost cried. "I received it from an old friend."

"What is this person's name? Which guild does he belong to?"

"His name is Chuanchangcao, and he has not joined the guild. Originally, he wanted to join our guild, but looking at what happened today, you probably won't accept him."

"That's not necessarily the case. Everyone is a victim of this kind of forwarding, and the really hateful person is the person who wrote the message."

"So you are willing to let him join the club?"

"As long as he is not the first person to write the letter, and he must cooperate with us to find the person who sent the letter."

"I guess Intestinal Grass is also a victim. He should be able to help."

"Then let's go find him now."

This kind of forwarding of messages is actually similar to pyramid schemes. They are harmful things. Long Yuanluo has also cracked down on this kind of behavior in the past. In recent years, Ansheng has revived it in "Zero"!

I used Xingpu to directly find the coordinates of Intestinal Grass, and this guy was actually in my Yunxiao City. The two of us quickly teleported to Yunxiao City to find the Intestinal Grass. After knowing my intention, he was very cooperative. Of course, the main reason was that he wanted to perform well and have the opportunity to join our guild. These players all know that Yunxiao City is developed, and people from the Hot Blood Alliance often say that Essinger in our guild is even more spectacular than here, so many players admire Essinger, but Essinger is not open to the public, so they all If you want to join the guild, you'd better have a chance to visit Essinger.

Let the unlucky guy from our guild go back first, and Chuan Gucao will go with me to meet with the higher-level personnel. Just following the clues and following the path, I ended up in a territory that excluded guilds. Standing in front of the boundary marker, I began to hesitate. According to what the previous person said, the person we are looking for is called Tian Xia Wudi. This guy is the vice president of the guild in front of us, and this guild is actually an exclusive guild of our guild.

In my impression, I don't seem to have had any contact with this guild. I don't know why they set us up to exclude the guild. It is estimated that we are probably the former enemies of Hongyue. This girl is usually quite impulsive and offends a lot of people. Moreover, she has always been responsible for the Asian affairs of our guild. If she has issues with us, it is most likely her fault. It's a pity that Hongyue is not online, so I can't ask her.

"This is the territory of their guild." Chuan Gucao, who was standing next to me, pointed forward.

I said to him: "Okay, I will handle the next thing. You can apply to me for membership. I can prepare you for membership first."

"Really? Thank you." Chuanchangcao excitedly applied for membership. I accepted the application and opened his preliminary membership.

"Preparatory members do not enjoy guild benefits, but you helped me today. I will give you a special set of equipment first, but the guild guardian beast cannot give it to you until you become a formal member."

"That makes me very happy." He said happily: "Would you like me to go with you?"

"No need, this guild is our exclusive guild and there may be a fight. It's more convenient for me to be alone."

"Then I'll leave first."

"Well, you go first."

After the intestinal grass left, I carefully moved closer to the opponent's border. There are not many cities in this guild, and its sphere of influence is very large. The weird boundary monument looks like a big tree. It is estimated that this is a guild that focuses on natural forces. It may even be a pure elf guild. There are many such guilds.

I wandered around outside for a while and roughly confirmed the situation. The patrol team of this guild are all forest elves, carrying ancient long bows on their backs and patrolling the border line on foot. I saw a few players on the way, most of them were elves and a few were humans.

I turned on the invisibility function of the Phantom Cloak and slowly entered the opponent's territory. Now I have to be careful. Once discovered, I will be intercepted immediately. I don't want to be kicked out. The elves have a natural ability to see invisible objects within 10 meters, so even if I am invisible, I still have to move forward carefully.

After finally 'touching' the city, I saw the huge elf city in the distance. The city of this guild is an elf city built on a tree. The huge tree of life is covered with houses, which looks quite spectacular. However, the defense of elf cities is generally not good because the city is built on the tree of life. There are no walls at all.

Carefully 'touch' to the edge of the city, use Star Pupil again to determine the location of the guy called World Invincible, and then cautiously approach there.

Unlike outside the city, there were too many guards in the city, and I couldn't get close at all. This adjustment was really troublesome. If I didn't have this problem at all before. I tried several times but couldn't enter the city, but the guy was indeed in the city. This made me embarrassed!
