Global Weirdness: I Can Simulate Ahead

Chapter 265 New Mission, [Old Age and Reality] (1/4)

"Ancient technology from the old era?"

Li Guanqi stood up, looked at the ancient scholar You Hao in front of him, and laughed softly: "Then take me to see her. I have no interest in your daughter. I came to save you, but it's actually just for you."

"I?"

You Hao was stunned.

"You are an ancient scholar who studies history."

Li Guanqi looked at him seriously, "And I need the ancient knowledge in your mind. I want to understand ancient times, what kind of era it was in the old era."

"Are you really interested in ancient times?!"

Hearing these words, You Hao suddenly showed excitement, as if he had seen a close friend.

...your ancient times are very likely our modern times, friends.

Li Guanqi kept these words deep in his heart and just smiled and said: "Take me there."

"plz follow me!"

You Hao nodded excitedly, turned around and went to the study room of the mushroom house, played with a candle lamp and turned the base of the candlestick.

"Click."

The entire study began to hear the sound of gears operating.

soon.

The two bookshelves in the study moved away automatically, revealing a stone door.

It seems very inconsistent with the structure of the stone gate. It is a square... eh?

Li Guanqi was stunned.

That thing is a special fingerprint unlocker!

It's like the kind of technological device commonly used in many mid-to-high-end residential areas, which is installed on the door and can then be unlocked with a fingerprint - the one he uses at home is similar.

"What's this?"

Li Guanqi quickly asked You Hao.

"Haha, I found this from an ancient ruins seven years ago."

You Hao looked at him and smiled proudly, "That stone wall is at least 5,000 years old. Many things have become blurry over time, but I still rely on myself to convey the content of the murals on the stone wall.

I completed the process and successfully copied this ancient fingerprint reader. No one except me can pass this unlocking device!"

Stone wall?

Li Guanqi was stunned.

Isn’t it, the reality has later reduced to the point where we have to carve murals and fingerprint readers on stone walls?

By the way...

Li Guanqi looked around.

The fingerprint reader must be powered, and even if it is not connected to a power source via a wire, it must have its own battery inside.

But the problem is... based on his understanding of the weird world, because of the energy of "spiritual energy" in this world, the technology tree has not relied on "electric energy" at all.

"Um?"

Li Guanqi got closer to this silver-white fingerprint reader with a high technological quality. He took a closer look at the fingerprint recognition area in the center and frowned: "The internal structure of this fingerprint reader is similar to a magic weapon that absorbs spiritual energy.

structure."

"Of course."

You Hao was surprised, "How can it work without absorbing spiritual energy?"

Li Guanqi smiled helplessly.

This question is like a modern person asking how to turn on a light bulb when it has no power.

The strange world is an era rich in spiritual energy. There is spiritual energy as energy, but of course there is no development of electrical energy.

This thing You Hao made is indeed a fingerprint recognition device that can be used to unlock doors.

However, it is only New Age technology, driven by spiritual power as energy.

As for whether it can be called old era technology, it remains to be discussed.

And in this weird world, fingerprint unlockers have no practical meaning...

"Please continue."

Li Guanqi nodded lightly and said nothing else.

"good."

You Hao walked to Shimen.

"drop!"

The ancient scholar pressed his thumb on the fingerprint unlocker on the door, and then the device made a soft sound, and the entire stone door cracked a crack in the middle and opened.

Behind the door, there is a staircase leading underground.

Underground in this mushroom house, there is another scene.

"Follow me."

You Hao walked towards the underground stairs and raised his hand to press a white switch next to it.

The switch is a white square with a button in the center - like a light switch in a modern home.

And this is indeed the case.

As You Hao pressed the switch, the entire underground staircase began to light up with light bulbs, illuminating the road leading to the underground chamber.

However, this is still a psychic lamp that drives "spiritual power", not a light bulb that drives "electricity".

final.

You Hao took Li Guanqi to an underground secret room.

This is a spacious space, like a small museum, with glass display cabinets one after another, which contain about thirty of You Hao's ancient collections.

That is, old era technology!

"firearms……"

Li Guanqi stood in front of a glass display cabinet and looked down.

In the cabinet was a nearly rotten rifle. It looked completely out of shape. Let alone using it, it would probably be crushed if it was squeezed hard with your hand.

This is not a unique antique.

Gun relics have long been unearthed in the strange world.

Although there is a historical gap, the strange world still has a certain understanding of the old era.

They knew that the old era had high-rise buildings, guns, cannons, missiles and nuclear bombs... However, Li Guanqi didn't know whether this old era was the reality he knew.

Because of the strange world's understanding of the old era, in addition to high technology, there are also practitioners, spellcasters and different-blood warriors who develop side by side.

Sounds a bit like entering the reality of an extraordinary age.

Li Guanqi needs to know more.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Li Guanqi's eyes were attracted by a display cabinet.

There is also a rifle inside, which is relatively well preserved. The structure of the gun looks a bit like the outline of an AK-47, but behind the barrel, there is something that looks extremely weird.

It was a dried corpse similar to an octopus, lying behind the barrel of the gun... No, rather than lying behind the barrel, it would be better to say that the corpse of the octopus was originally part of the gun body, because the barrel of the gun was exactly the eight-part body of the gun.

Transformed into one of the tentacles of the claw fish.

Octopus?

firearms?

A combination of the two?

"No, this is..."

Li Guanqi looked carefully at the dried corpse of the octopus, but felt a strange throbbing in his soul.

The talent for accessing the secluded world?

This feeling...is it a curse?!

Li Guanqi was stunned.

This octopus corpse integrated with the rifle is a dried corpse of a cursed spirit!

"What's this?"

Li Guanqi quickly looked at You Hao and pointed at the Octopus rifle in the display cabinet.

"It is a weapon used by ancient people."

You Hao walked next to him, lay down outside the display cabinet, and pointed at the octopus corpse, "Did you see it? That is the dried corpse of a curse spirit. Look carefully to see the position of the barrel and the octopus.

The barrel does not go through the octopus, but one of the octopus' tentacles becomes the barrel.

This cursed spirit didn't just die next to this rifle.

It is integrated with the rifle.

Ancient people captured the curse spirit, fused the curse spirit with the rifle, and used the curse spirit's power in some unknown way to us.

According to the research conducted by my teacher and I, this cursed spirit firearm does not fire bullets, but the supernatural attack of the cursed spirit.

This is the wisdom of ancient people, and my teacher also speculated that this kind of magical weapon may be the origin of today's sacrificial and magical weapons."

"oh?"

Li Guanqi looked at You Hao curiously, "Your teacher? He is also an ancient scholar? Is he more knowledgeable than you?"

"certainly!"

This middle-aged man with a double-yield level smiled and nodded, "My teacher is the real expert in ancient studies, a master-level figure.

I am just an ordinary scholar, and I have less than one percent of his knowledge.

I am sixty years old this year, but my teacher is a five-element-level warrior of different blood. He has been studying ancient history for more than four hundred years."

Li Guanqi looked surprised.

Ancient scholars, this profession is inherently more powerful as you get older!

"Where is your teacher? Can you take me to see him?" Li Guanqi asked quickly.

"Um...sorry, there really is nothing we can do."

You Hao shook his head and apologized: "I don't know where my teacher is now. I originally went on a study tour with my teacher, but we arrived at this Moxie Gu Village more than ten years ago, and I met the child's mother here.

So I chose to stay, while my teacher left alone."

Li Guanqi was startled.

There are only You Hao and his twelve-year-old daughter in this family. The mother...maybe had an accident.

But there is no need to ask, it will only add to the sadness.

And that's not what he cared about.

If you have no hair on your mouth, you will not be able to do things well.

A sixty-year-old ancient scholar, and an ancient history expert over four hundred years old.

Moreover, experts from You Hao have said that compared to his teacher, he does not have even one percent of knowledge.

"What's your teacher's name?"

Li Guanqi looked at You Hao with some reluctance, "Is there no clue about his whereabouts?"

"My teacher's name is Alton. He is a sheep-headed man. Later he left the grassland and began to travel around the world, looking for ancient ruins. As for his whereabouts, there are some clues."

You Hao thought for a while and said: "When my teacher left, he said that he saw me getting married and starting a business. He was also a little homesick and said he wanted to go home and have a look... Oh, by the way, the home he said didn't mean the grassland.

His descendants moved to the Sakura Shogunate very early."

"bite!"

As soon as You Hao finished speaking, a cold female voice suddenly sounded in Li Guanqi's mind.

"You triggered the mission conditions."

"You've been given a new main quest."

——[Old times and reality]——

Mission introduction: What is the connection between the past and reality? Is the connection behind this just a simple past and future?

Mission requirements: Find the ancient expert, the sheep-headed man Alton.

Mission clues: 1 Alton’s descendants moved to the Sakura Shogunate. The place where the family is is called home. Maybe you should go to the Oriental Islands and visit the Sakura Shogunate?

Mission success reward:???

Penalty for mission failure:???

"bite!"

"You have unlocked the mission system. From now on, every time you enter the strange world, you need to choose a 'main mission' as your goal."

"If there are multiple main tasks in your task list, you can choose a main task by yourself."

"If your main quest is zero, you will randomly get a new main quest."

"Please note that completing a certain number of main missions is one of the important conditions for opening world missions."

Listening to the voice in his head, Li Guanqi couldn't help but smile.

interesting.

Main quest? World quest?

In short, I can finally leave southern Xinjiang and go abroad for some fun.

"That's it."

Li Guanqi came back to his senses, looked at You Hao, and said with a smile: "I may go to the Sakura Shogunate in the future to find your sheep-headed teacher. As for now, how about asking you to explain ancient history to me first?

"

"I always know everything about my savior."

You Hao also smiled.

As he spoke, he looked at the surrounding glass display cabinets and asked, "Is there anyone else who is interested?"

"That's all your antiques?"

Li Guanqi looked around and asked at the surrounding glass display cabinets.

These more than thirty glass display cabinets are basically firearms. In addition to ordinary rotten firearms, they are cursed weapons similar to octopus rifles, and a few cursed grenades.

"That's all."

You Hao nodded, "These are all magical weapons. In fact, they are very similar. There is nothing to say. My collection is not large. If you want to see more ancient items, you still have to go to my teacher."

"Then... tell me?"

Li Guanqi looked at You Hao seriously, "Explain your knowledge of ancient history?"

"Where to start?" You Hao asked.

“From start to finish!”

Li Guanqi looked solemn.

"Forehead……"

You Hao was stunned for a moment, then frowned, walked to the end of the underground secret room, opened a door and walked in.

Li Guanqi followed closely behind.

Inside is a bookstore with not many books. There is only one bookshelf that is not full, but the books on it are either handwritten books or yellowed fragments of pages sealed with a special method. At first glance, they are ancient books that are old.

Scholar of ancient history.

For You Hao, this ancient knowledge is obviously more valuable than antiques.

"Um……"

You Hao stood in front of the bookshelf, looked at it carefully, then sat down at the table in the study room and gave Li Guanqi a "please" gesture.

When Li Guanqi sat in front of him, the ancient scholar's narrative slowly unfolded:

“When talking about the ancient times, we have to mention the culture of ‘spirits’.

Clues of this can be found in many places in the New Age.

Including the Gu God of Southern Xinjiang, before the country of 'Southern Xinjiang' appeared, the human race on this land was already worshiping this god.

The history of Gu god belief can be traced back to the Old Age period.

There is also the dark god of the Dark Brotherhood, 'Sithis'. That god actually does not have a god's name. The killers of the Dark Brotherhood just call him 'my god', but for the sake of convenience, we outsiders just call him the dark god.

Already.

There are even more gods in the Violet Empire. As an empire where polytheism coexists, the Violet people believe in many gods, and each god has its own priesthood.

Some gods were made up by later generations to make money.

But it is true that the history of some gods can be traced back to the ancient times.

In the world, there are people who believe in God and there are people who do not believe in God.

But based on my teacher’s more than 400 years of experience in exploring ancient relics and studying ancient relics, he believes that the world in the Old Age was actually ruled by one ‘god’ after another.

But don't get me wrong.

My teacher believes that there has never been an "omniscience and omnipotence God" in the world.

The 'gods' he refers to actually refer to powerful beings like the infinite gods of war and gods of spells, not just the human race, but other races as well.

My teacher believes that during the Old Age, the world was ruled by these god-level creatures.

In our current New Age, the world is divided into kingdoms and wilderness.

But in the old era, there was no concept of "country".

There is only wilderness and ‘god’s realms’.

‘God’s Domain’, as the name suggests, is the domain of gods.

The gods opened up a pure land, accepted the people, enjoyed their offerings, and also provided protection for the people against the dangers of the wilderness.

Because in the old era, a large number of monsters, including cursed spirits, were very densely infested in the wilderness and were extremely dangerous.

However, my teacher said that he also discovered earlier historical data in some ancient ruins with a longer history.

He discovered that in the early days, 'God's Domain' had another name.

Shelter.

In the early days, humans gathered together to resist the cursed spirits in the wilderness. Over time, humans formed one shelter after another.

Humans during the Shelter Period also called that period - the end of the world!

But it's strange.

My teacher has found some information in many ancient ruins that shows that in the early days of the end of the world, humans seemed to be very weak.

The cursed spirit, which could shatter the ground within a hundred meters with its kick, was described by humans at that time as "frightening and invincible. It had to be suppressed with heavy firepower and guns and quickly evacuated from the shelter."

But this is only the level of ordinary third-level curse spirits.

Even some powerful second-level spell spirits can do it.

Therefore, my teacher speculated that there should be an unknown civilization period before the shelter period, and humans in that period only had simple firearms and weapons, and their personal power was very weak, and they were all mortals.

In the early days of the end of the world, the cursed spirit had just appeared and was not strong, otherwise humanity would have been wiped out long ago.

Later, gradually, the cursed spirit gradually became stronger, and humans gradually created cultivation methods and practitioners appeared.

And then to the back.

God-level practitioners appear in human beings, transform into god-level creatures, and become gods. They lead humans to completely defeat the cursed spirits and become the overlord of the human world.

My teacher said that this should be the origin of the story of humans defeating cursed spirits in ancient times.

Then.

As more and more god-level creatures appear among humans, the shelters gradually change their names and become one god's realm after another.

During this period, human science and technology began to explode rapidly, and weapons such as missiles and nuclear bombs were developed that could cause damage to high-level practitioners. This was a heyday for spiritual practice and technology to flourish.

My teacher believes that this is the peak period of the Old Age.

As for the rest... my teacher didn't find any relic information to speculate on.

Anyway, later on, for some unknown reason, all the gods disappeared.

The only peak-level existences in the world are the Jiugong-level experts.

Later.

That is the end of the Old Era.

According to legend, the Jiugong-level experts fought against each other, and nuclear bombs and missiles flew all over the sky. In the end, the Jiugong-level experts died together, and the nuclear bombs destroyed 99% of human civilization.

After the surviving humans rebuilt their civilization, a new era arrived in which the gods did not appear.

then.

My teacher deduced that human history should be divided into six periods.

1. Unknown period (mortal).

2. Old era and early period (the end of the world).

3. Old era and middle period (human beings become gods).

4. The late period of the Old Age (death of gods).

5. The end of the Old Era (the battle between the Nine Palaces).

6. New era (now).
