Blackstone Code

"Mr. Connor...was eliminated in the second batch."

Lynch was somewhat surprised to hear the news, "I remember that there are many powerful people around him, and many capitalists support him."

As the vice chairman of the company's board of directors, many people think that Connor is the most suitable candidate to be Lynch's successor, not Lynch's children.

In addition, he has a very good relationship with Lynch, so some people have placed a heavy bet on him.

If Mr. Wardrick brought his complete industrial system to Ice Star, then Connor brought all aspects of a micro-society.

There are talents from all walks of life, as well as scientists and scientific research equipment.

And the most important thing is that Connor proved that he is not a fool in the battle for supremacy in the virtual world.

He has a very smart mind and a good grasp of the overall situation. In the words of some people, how could such a strong team lose?

"So, how did he lose?"

After searching the database many times, Aurora's tone was filled with some disbelief, "He died from... a stray bullet?"

"I'm not sure, Mr. Lynch."

"Mr. Connor was killed by a bullet that hit him from behind during a battle, and no one knows who shot that bullet."

"It sounds unlucky, so what about now?"

"Is he completely dead, or was he sent to the virtual world?"

"He's mining, Mr. Lynch."

"Mining?"

Lynch's voice rose slightly, "I remember I didn't set up something for the loser to mine."

"This is staying here I decided on my own, because the company has repeatedly proposed to shut down the server, so I changed some rules here, and this is also the characteristic of chaos code. "

"It decided to send all the rebels and losers to mine."

"Mr. Connor was sentenced to... labor reform for 1,000 years for the crime of "organizing the rebels", and the place of imprisonment is... a mine."

It was talking about a mine in a virtual world, and Lynch suddenly became interested, "I want to see him."

"Okay, Mr. Lynch, now I will help you connect to the virtual network..."

With the vibration of mental power, Lynch appeared in the mine at the moment of connecting to the mental network.

He has the highest authority in the virtual world, so when he doesn't want these people to see him, no one can see him.

Aurora pointed him to Connor's location and highlighted him. From a distance, a fool with white light was seen holding an iron pickaxe to mine.

He didn't look as elegant as before. He was sloppy and his gray hair was casually draped over his shoulders and tied with a piece of grass.

He was wearing glasses now and looked much older, but he was very strong, with a lot of muscles and full of strength.

He raised the pickaxe in his hand high and knocked it down hard, and his whole body was shaking from the knocking.

Then he took back the pickaxe and raised it high again.

He was not used to it at first, but he got used to it after being shocked many times.

Almost all the defeated members of the resistance were sent here, where they were subjected to labor reform for decades, hundreds of years or even thousands of years. Damn it, it would be better to die.

The mine owner was an out-and-out psychopath and sadist. He installed electronic shackles on everyone, the kind that would discharge electricity.

When their working frequency was lower than a certain threshold, the electronic shackles would release high voltage electricity to urge them to continue working.

It took almost everyone several years to gradually master how to be lazy correctly.

They would work at the maximum interval allowed by the electronic shackles, which would save some physical strength and reduce the workload.

Even so, mining for twelve hours a day was still very torturous. Perhaps the only thing they could not find fault with was that the food in the mine was very good.

They could order dishes, and no matter what kind of food, it would be arranged. Anyway, in the virtual world, for Aurora, these foods were just different arrangements of electronic data.

The data length they occupied in the spiritual world was the same, so there was no excess expenditure.

Watching Connor work for a while, Lynch handed him a glass of water.

"Thank you!"

Looking at the water that suddenly appeared in front of him, Connor suddenly waved his pickaxe quickly, then took a sip of the water. The slightly cool ice water was very thirst-quenching.

When he turned his head to return the water to the other party, he saw some familiar people standing there with a smile.

He was stunned for a while, but then the electronic shackles on his ankles and wrists began to discharge, and he screamed and fell to the ground with his whole body tense.

People around looked over here, and some laughed at him, "Haha, Connor, this is really the funniest thing recently, is it comfortable on the ground?"

Even after being electrocuted, Connor did not come back to his senses until he was electrocuted for the second time and screamed again, then he remembered to continue mining.

While adjusting his trembling muscles, he raised the pickaxe high, "When did you come back?"

Lin Qi sat on the stone pier next to him, "Just entered the solar system, you know, I asked you where you were when I came in, Aurora told me you were mining here."

"How many years have you been mining?"

Connor cursed, "Six years."

Lin Qi smiled and said, "It seems that you are already used to your current life."

While waving the pickaxe, he said, "It's okay to be unaccustomed to it. The mine owner is a psychopath. He put shackles on us and left us alone. If you can tolerate high voltage electricity, you don't have to work."

"We had a fool here before who relied on his good health and was not sensitive to electric shocks, so he never worked."

"He called electric shocks massages, and guess what happened later?"

"What happened?"

He smashed the pickaxe head on the ore with force, and an ore broke out and hit him, leaving a mark.

"He had a cardiac arrest, but he revived soon. He is working over there now. You can see him if you go over there."

"Death is not terrible. What is terrible is that after death, you have to continue to bear the punishment with a healthy body. This is the most painful!"

"One thousand years!"

"Aurora, I know you are here."

Aurora appeared behind Lynch, "Mr. Connor, we meet again."

"This is all your idea, right?"

It neither admitted nor denied, "This is part of the plan of the Chosen One, but what I didn't expect is that you angered the program I left behind, and it chose a solution that we didn't expect to solve these problems."

"So, this is our problem?" Connor thought it was a bit funny.

"If you understand it this way, it's not wrong."

"You may be different from that Aurora, but you are just as mean!" He rolled his eyes, "So when can I finish this damn job?"

"Lynch, I have been mining for six years, and this ore will be restored every morning. This is what makes me most frustrated!"

"If you can give me an ore that won't recover, maybe I can feel more comfortable, at least it will give me a sense of accomplishment."

Lynch thought for a while, "At least I have to finish today's work..."

"Damn it!"

"I thought you were an angel, but I didn't expect you to be a demon, Lynch!"

"No, you're wrong, I'm a god!"

In fact, it didn't take long for a day to finish. Lynch returned to the real world and learned some other things, and a day in the virtual world passed.

Connor left the mine, but what happened next gave him a feeling...inexplicable.

Because he was "eliminated", his power was uprooted in both the real world and the virtual world, and his former castle became the lair of the lord of a new power that he had never heard of.

No one knew him on the street. He was just like an ordinary person, walking with Lynch on the street.

When they came to a store, they sat down and ordered some food and drinks. "What are you going to do next to keep this test going?"

Lynch thought for a while, "It's already more than halfway done, why not let it continue?"

Connor curled his lips and changed the subject, "What does it look like outside?"

Lynch asked Aurora to play some pictures of the outside world, those war fortresses that made people feel terrified, space-based weapons that directly destroyed a city, super giant companies spanning multiple light years, and quantum teleportation that Lynch had not seen.

Connor was dazzled by these things and even forgot to eat.

After a long time, he came back to his senses from the screen that finally disappeared, "So, now you have conquered the first planet outside the solar system?"

Lynch nodded, "It's dangerous outside, but there are also many opportunities. This time I brought back a lot of scientific and technological materials, enough for the Earth civilization to have a huge technological explosion."

"In a short time, we may only be a third-rate or even a second-rate force in the universe, in terms of overall civilization."

"But we also have our trump cards, which gives us enough time and space to develop."

Connor was very interested after listening, "So when do we leave?"

Lynch picked up the wooden wine glass, "Wait until we get quantum teleportation, otherwise it will take three years just to leave here, which will limit our communication with the outside world."

"If we can get quantum teleportation, then this time will be greatly shortened."

Connor has cheered up again, and the topic returned to the selection, "Who do you think will be the winner in the end?"

Lynch ate some food. The virtual food is really delicious. It directly simulates bioelectric signals. This kind of reality and deliciousness is difficult to achieve in the real world.

"Before I come back, anyone could be a possibility."

"But after I come back, the candidate will only appear between Adam and Haines."

He did not tell Connor why this was the case. As an "outsider", he would not understand the powerful power that blood tracing would add to them!
