Chapter 265 Experience Is Full, Ice Is Cracked

How come this replica seems to be a "backdoor"... Confused, Jiang Qian continued to check the information of the Space-Time Key:

[Name: Space-Time Key (consumable)]

[Type: daily necessities]

[Function: open the door]

[Introduction: An eclectic traveler has created a unique "Space-Time Door" in the world that can go to any time and place. This is the "Space-Time Key", an accessory of the Space-Time Door. ]

[Usage: Used to open the Space-Time Door (each key corresponds to a "trip")]

[Note: Door and key, both are indispensable. ]

...

After a short silence, Jiang Qian quickly sorted out the relationship between the Space-Time Door replica and the Space-Time Key.

He guessed correctly that the door of the replica was like a backdoor in the "Hungry Ghost Ending World" copy, while the Space-Time Key was a genuine prop that could match the real Space-Time Door.

In short, he did obtain the permission to use the Space-Time Door to travel 5 times.

It is no exaggeration to say that if these five opportunities are used well, it is equivalent to five death-free gold medals!

It's just that it costs a lot and is very "dangerous". The example of Dr. Kate trapped in the reincarnation and continuing to create "tragedies" is a good warning.

Jiang Qian secretly made up his mind that he would never try to use this method easily unless it was absolutely necessary.

Not just himself.

Later, he had to confirm whether the key handed to Xue Yang came back with him. If so, whether the copy came with a replica of the door... Jiang Qian then checked the last reward prop:

[Name: Four-pane showcase]

[Type: Daily necessities]

[Function: Storage]

[Introduction: Unconventional travelers like to collect their favorite things from all over the place, encapsulate them in transparent showcases and display them in eye-catching halls for guests and friends to watch, which is extremely beautiful and convenient. Among them, this four-pane showcase has the most practical function. It can not only collect objects and display them, but also collect living things, which is convenient to carry and transfer. It is a rare portable artifact for travelers. ]

[Usage 1: Used to store things. The function is the same as the super-species player locker, which can store up to 4 items and occupy 1 storage space, so it can save 3 storage spaces for players. 】

[Usage 2: Used to store living things. Store living people or animals and plants and other living things, so that the survival time is not less than 72 hours. 】

[Note 1: A must-have artifact for home travel and hiding a beautiful woman! The number of places is limited, so don't be greedy~]

[Note 2: This product has been classified as "copy contraband", and the final right of interpretation belongs to the eclectic traveler. 】

...

Jiang Qian gradually fell silent.

This "four-pane showcase" looks less and less like a serious thing?

Still hiding a beautiful woman? Who can do this... Jiang Qian snorted coldly to express his disdain for the producer of the props.

Speaking of which: being able to hide things is a small matter, but being able to hide living things, especially the function of "hiding people", is indeed a bit too buggy.

But the attribute of "contraband" did not scare Jiang Qian. He was already considering the possibility of using a certain combination of props:

Can a living person be put into the "four-pane window" and brought back to the replica with the door to enter the replica, or can the "four-pane window" be used to directly lead people into the real time and space door to travel through time and space to a certain moment in the past or future?

Undoubtedly, the calculation amount of the latter dangerous operation is very large, and if you are not careful, it will cause irreversible consequences.

But the cost of using the four-pane window to lead people through the replica door is very small, and it can be tried and verified at any time.

Assuming it is feasible, there is still considerable room for operation in the future using the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" replica.

The only concern is: the existence of anchoring props.

Needless to say, other organizations also have the ability to anchor exclusive replicas and enter them. Before trying to return to the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse", it is necessary to understand the connection between Shenshan and the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse", including why the people of Shenshan have a complete set of strategies for the replica.

At present, the authorities are keeping a close eye on the case of Shenshan. They can take this opportunity to investigate Shenshan's operation in anchoring the dungeon, and maybe even get unexpected gains from it.

In addition, the anteater Zhang Bizi "died" in the dungeon and failed to escape through the time and space gate.

Jiang Qian estimated that the other party was not really dead and should be caught at the moment of leaving the dungeon.

This guy came from Shenshan since he was a child. His operation is as fierce as a tiger. It is likely to be an important breakthrough.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qian suddenly felt relieved that the clouds were about to be cleared.

Finally, his current attribute information was also listed in front of him:

[Player ID: Qianlong Wuyong]

[Identity card: Tengshe]

[Class: Divine Beast]

[Level: Three-state·Fusion (Experience value 100%)]

[Skills: Psychic Vision, Poison Resistance, Snake Shadow Stealth; Poison Fangs, Poison Sacs, Devouring Tricks; Stealth, Scale Armor, Wind Control]

...

As expected, the experience value is full.

The peak state of the three-state·fusion body is achieved.

In this way, one of the conditions for participating in the promotion of the nobility is met, and there is no need to worry too much about the gains and losses of the next copy.

But then again, judging from the frequency of Jiang Qian's current dungeons, there should be another chance before the promotion of the nobility. Then the question is, won't the experience points returned with a full load next time be given away in vain?

According to the copy evolution mechanism, the three-state license holders who cannot complete the unified promotion to the nobility will have a maximum experience value of 100%. Even if they pass through the dungeon countless times, they will not be able to absorb the extra experience points to help their strength.

This is the ability "ceiling" limit in the evolution law.

If you want to break through the ceiling, you must upgrade your status card to a powerful person through "Leaping the Dragon Gate", otherwise no matter how much experience you gain, it will be in vain.

I can't blame the cruel rules entirely, it's because I am too good... Jiang Qian reflected on himself while feeling grateful for the experience points that could not be retained:

"A shameful waste."

Along with Jiang Qian's reflection, a piece of information on the card that he had recorded in a trance in the chaos came back to his mind - the iced dragon card, seems to have moved?

Perhaps in order to help answer Jiang Qian’s doubts, the updated dragon card information was included in Jiang Qian’s field of vision immediately after the snake card:

[Identity Tag: Dragon] (Frozen)

[Category: mythical beast]

[Level: One state·cognitive body (experience value 25%)]

[Skill: Unknown]

…

The information display ends here.

The texture of the virtual dragon card flashed a golden arc in front of Jiang Qian's eyes, and then disappeared into the darkness.

A familiar call came to my ears.

"Jiang Qian...Jiang Qian?"

It was Ye Xiaojing's voice. The clear girlish voice was filled with anxiety and concern that could not be concealed.

Then, Jiang Qian's vision gradually became clearer...

He saw Ye Xiaojing's cold white face appearing in front of him, his delicate facial features turning from blurry to clear, and his eyes that never carried a trace of unnecessary emotion were filled with surging emotions, accompanied by calls, filling his eyelashes. The mist in the room reflects a heartbreakingly clear picture.

Everything is similar to what it was like when you were forced into a copy.

But when he left, he fell into Ye Xiaojing's arms, and now, Ye Xiaojing was in front of him, holding his shoulders with both hands, ensuring the balance of his body.

"I'm back."

Jiang Qian spoke in the most ordinary tone.

During the 72 days of the "Apocalypse of Hungry Ghosts", he was looking forward to this moment of "coming out" every day.

Ye Xiaojing's movements and breathing stopped for a moment, and then her soft body fell into Jiang Qian's arms... Ye Xiaojing hugged Jiang Qian.

Although it was a momentary excitement, this sudden intimate contact conveyed the emotions she had accumulated in the past three days to Jiang Qian more clearly and directly.

"Great, just come back..."

There was a hint of restraint in Ye Xiaojing's voice, and Jiang Qian could even detect her trying to calm down her emotions.

This was still the corridor of the special care ward of the hospital. There were only a few colleagues standing nearby, but they all had the good sense not to come forward to disturb him.

Neither Zhang Bi nor Xue Yang is here.

Jiang Qian raised his hand and crossed Ye Xiaojing's hair hanging in front of his eyes. He saw that his hands were intact and there were no injuries at all.

However, there were obvious cracks on the watch on his wrist.

He remembered that there were still some things that needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Jiang Qian's hand paused in mid-air, then touched Ye Xiaojing's back, and slowly tightened his arms.

He whispered to her gently:

"Sister Xiaojing, I can cure you."

Ye Xiaojing was slightly startled.

Jiang Qian's breath was in his ears.

Feeling Jiang Qian's strong arms and strong heartbeat, Ye Xiaojing almost melted at this moment.

But she still tried to calm down her emotions and left Jiang Qian's arms. She stared at Jiang Qian's eyes, and then carefully looked at Jiang Qian from top to bottom. After confirming that he was safe and sound, she returned to her role and reported quickly:

"The Shenshan suspect has just been taken away by the old ape. Xue Yang seemed to be in a coma after being frightened, but he is not seriously injured and has been sent to the ward to rest."

"Am I the last one to return?" Jiang Qian held Ye Xiaojing's hand and stood up.

"Well, you're a few minutes behind them."

So you’re worried to the point of crying? You underestimate me... Jiang Qian shook Ye Xiaojing's hand, stood up and greeted other colleagues who came up to him.

After undergoing routine examinations nearby, Lan Junxian, deputy director of the East China Sea Operations Department, arrived at the hospital.

The gentle and elegant deputy minister burst into tears when he saw Jiang Qian! I am afraid that this outstanding student may have some shortcomings.

Lan Junxian came here to open the nose of the Shenshan suspect, which Jiang Qian had already predicted.

In order to clarify the connection between the Holy Mountain and the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" and the "actions" of the Holy Mountain organization in the dungeon, Jiang Qian took the opportunity to propose to Lan Junxian to participate in the investigation of the Nine-tailed Fox Project in the Holy Mountain and promised to share everything he experienced in the dungeon. Information is shared with the task force to facilitate case advancement.

Lan Junxian readily agreed.

He even called Ji Ming himself, and that was how things happened.

The follow-up matters were in full swing and were progressed according to procedures. The trial of Zhang Bi was handled by a task force led by Lan Junxian.

Jiang Qian participated and provided the "bell" as a torture weapon during the torture of Zhang Bi, which made the trial process extremely smooth on that day and enabled the Shenshan Nine-tailed Fox Task Force to achieve an unexpected breakthrough.

Things were busy until evening.

After accompanying Jiang Qian to complete the transcript of the copy of "The End of the Hungry Ghosts", Lan Junxian screened away the others, leaving Jiang Qian alone, and the two had supper together.

"I didn't expect that the players involved in this dungeon would be so complex. It's staggering to think that an organization like Shenshan can actually control a dungeon at this level and know the contents of the dungeon inside and out."

Lan Junxian took off his gold-rimmed glasses, picked up the canned beer, and drank it down roughly.

Jiang Qian echoed:

"Yes, if he had a chance to escape this time, we would have no way of knowing that there are powerful props in the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" copy that can travel through time and space. "

"This may be their ultimate means to save their lives." Lan Junxian nodded, and suddenly looked at Jiang Qian seriously, "You haven't used that prop, have you?"

"No, the risk is too high and unnecessary." Jiang Qian said without thinking.

Lan Junxian nodded thoughtfully.

"By the way, Teacher Lan, does Shenshan have other props with anchoring functions? In addition to anchoring props, is there any other way to enter the fixed dungeon? I'm worried that people from Shenshan will use this dungeon many times to continue to implement possible means of escape.”

This question was actually asked by Jiang Qian for himself.

Before returning to the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse", he must confirm that this copy is still safe and secret.

Lan Junxian showed a relieved smile: "They can't get in."

"Why?"

Lan Junxian said with a little regret:

"An abnormality occurred in the ant nest props the day before yesterday. Among the hundreds of copies connected to the ant nest, one copy suddenly lost contact and has not been heard from since."

"We didn't know the specific situation when this incident was discovered. Until Zhang Bi's interrogation tonight, our people used the prop usage method he confessed to connect to the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" for verification, but the connection failed. After many tests, it was confirmed that it was the copy that lost contact rather than improper operation methods. "

"This shows that the previously lost copy is most likely the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" that you have just experienced. "

Lan Junxian said, patted Jiang Qian's shoulder, and smiled helplessly:

"As for how it lost contact...Jiang Qian, I don't think you need to be modest."

"I?"

Jiang Qian pointed at himself, with an innocent look on his face:

"Why am I being modest? What does this have to do with me?"

Lan Junxian coughed lightly and said with a half-smile, "I don't need to mention your kid's criminal record, right?"

Jiang Qian also laughed and did not defend himself.

"Based on my teaching experience over the years, I speculate that the reason for the loss of contact in this "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" may be related to the cracking of one of the hidden missions, "Nightmare Reincarnation." "

When talking about topics within the professional field, Lan Junxian's interest and desire to share instantly soared, and he began to seriously "answer questions" for his proud students:

"Let's return to the essence of the problem: Why does this "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" exist? Have you ever thought about it? "

Jiang Qian was all ears.

"In my opinion, this "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" is an indelible 'shadow' formed by Dr. Kate's use of the Gate of Time and Space. Kate continues to use the portal of time and space to go back to the past and try to change the opportunities, but it only creates worse consequences. He returned again and again, forming reincarnations of "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" copies one after another. "

"It stands to reason that in this copy, only when Dr. Kate enters the Gate of Time and Space again can the closed loop of the world be formed. If Dr. Kate gives up entering the Gate of Time and Space due to some factors, then a link in the causal chain of reincarnation will be missing. , this world will ‘not exist’.”

Lan Junxian spread his hands as he spoke, expressing his understanding of Jiang Qian's "mistake":

"I believe you didn't do it on purpose. After all, it won't do you any good, right?"

Jiang Qian looked out the window calmly.

The night is already dark.

"fair enough."

Lan Junxian suddenly sighed:

"Let the gate of time and space fall silent along with the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse". It's not necessarily a good thing if this kind of prop comes to the world, it might even be a disaster. "

"Teacher Lan, it's getting late. I want to go back to the hospital to see my friend. He just escaped death today and was very scared."

Jiang Qian stood up and asked to leave.

Lan Junxian nodded and watched his proud disciple leave.

When Jiang Qian reached the door, he stopped him again:

"After going through this dungeon, you've gained enough experience in the three states. Have you figured out your family's intentions?"

…

Ye Xiaojing drove to the hospital with Jiang Qian.

After picking up Xue Yang, the three of them went straight back to the apartment. Xue Yang finally moved into the room that Jiang Qian had prepared for him in advance.

"Wow~ Lao Jiang, your place is nice! Did you rent the whole place?"

“Consumption of public funds is compliant and reasonable.”

"Bullshit!" Xue Yang walked around the room, looking a little nervous and cramped.

"I'm going to make some food." Ye Xiaojing said.

She did not ask about their experiences in the dungeon at all, and turned around to leave the two of them a separate space for communication.

But Xue Yang still looked shocked.

"How is it?" Jiang Qian closed the door and turned to look at Xue Yang.

Xue Yang took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Qian: "Just after you left, someone came in and asked me about my experience in the dungeon. They asked me in great detail..."

"Well," Jiang Qian calmly sat down next to Xue Yang, "have you told the truth?"

"According to your instructions, part of it is to tell the truth and part of it is reserved."

"for example?"

"For example, the dungeon rewards part, this belongs to the player's personal privacy, so I didn't say a word."

This is the official thing. In most cases, things are done according to the rules... Jiang Qian nodded calmly.

Seeing that Jiang Qian had no special reaction, Xue Yang was relieved. When he looked at Jiang Qian again, the nervousness in his eyes was gradually replaced by excitement:

"Old Jiang, I...I evolved!"
