High Above

"If it were me."

Adbert stood up and walked back and forth: "I actually don't like the future Ian you mentioned."

"Having fun..." He pondered his words, and slowly expressed his thoughts: "I was raised by my mother, and I didn't have much time to play. I don't think it is necessary. People can cultivate more worthwhile hobbies.”

"To develop so many projects just to kill ordinary people's time is not only a waste of ordinary people's lives, but also a waste of wealth called time and possibility."

"It's normal that you don't like it." Ian was not surprised by this.

It was clear to him from the start that, of all people, Yardbert was the most likely to object to this vision of the future.

Although Adelbert is a good person and a person with high morals, he is also a self-disciplined person, a "roll king" who regards study and work as fun and has a strong self-supervision ability.

He usually doesn't have any personal hobbies other than raising a radish. Even raising a radish is essentially just to calm his mind and find someone to talk to alone.

And the reason why Yadbert himself can change his destiny is precisely because he never wasted his time.

In his view, Ian uses games and various entertainment products to "consume" the time of ordinary people, which is equivalent to abandoning the possibility of ordinary people changing their destiny through hard work, and regards most ordinary people as "pigs". The same to raise.

And, who knows if there's genius in those who immerse themselves in entertainment?

If they study hard, they may change the world in the future.

This is the 'waste' in the mouth of Adalbert. He cherishes every human possibility, and therefore feels pity.

It is indeed difficult to expect such a guy who can say 'the taste is similar' between drinking Coke and drinking carrot juice to understand the importance of games and entertainment.

"No, actually I can understand."

As if seeing the meaning behind Ian's expression, Adbert shook his head slightly: "I know, not everyone is like me."

"I'm just a little pity... After all, everyone should not be born into this world just to kill their lives."

In fact, what Adelbert said is right. These issues are also the most objectionable points of "Nipple Music".

Because this kind of measure, at the beginning of its birth, was to kill people’s subjective initiative and raise humans as animals. Basically, it was to completely cut off the possibility of other people’s rise and ensure the stability of the upper class’s rule. It is a real evil law.

But the problem is that in the world of Terra, people are already gray animals—even animals that don’t have enough feed and live in a narrow place.

They are all livestock, and there is no entertainment. The people in the world of Terra are too miserable.

The reason why Ian wants to engage in this kind of planning is also to proceed step by step, not the ultimate goal is to have some teat fun.

"These are just the basics."

Ian thought about it, and then explained seriously: "Adelbert, games and achievements are not mutually exclusive. You can certainly understand that the so-called games are actually a simulation of human beings' survival skills—no It is a simulation that is as impermanent as reality and can achieve a sense of accomplishment.”

"The so-called entertaining is just like that. You can learn from games... For example, aren't these 'simulated battles' in our pioneer space just a kind of hardcore 'game'? Simulated battles don't Real death, which avoids the impermanence of reality, but can bring actual sense of accomplishment and knowledge.”

Under Adalbert's thoughtful gaze, Ian said with a smile: "Since users can learn something from simulated combat and enjoy it, it means that there are some games that can achieve the same effect. "

"And this is also my future goal."

At this moment, with the launch of the new version of Pioneer Space, Ian and others have gradually withdrawn from the core area of ​​Pioneer Space.

Everyone looked down from a higher perspective, looking at the entire Pioneer Space inside and outside, watching the core users of the Pioneer Space go online for the first time, and excitedly began to test each new function.

As Ian expected, what everyone is most interested in is "simulated combat" - after all, it is Terra, combat and power are everything, and simulated combat will not die. Basically, the mentality of all users is that no matter how difficult it is, they are not afraid , as long as it can bring them progress.

Ian saw that one of the objects of his focus, Garr Simore of the Royal Court of Heaven, immediately chose the third energy level summary, the most difficult 'virtual combat body'.

Although this virtual combat body is said to be the highest difficulty, it is actually just a blank board. Except for super high physical fitness, durability, destructive power and fighting skills, there is no other extraordinary power involved.

It sounds like a very immovable strong city, but in fact it is far from it.

Because in addition to super high basic attributes, the immovable strong city also has high resistance, high shield, high reduction and reduction control ability, and high soil source quality control ability - Ian's sword of the cliff is to use the soil attribute source quality to create super intensity Shockwave, followed by a ground conduction explosion, raised rocks to attack the enemy.

But even so, it's a pretty tricky foe.

Just now, Ian saw that the others, like Gaar, chose the most difficult sublimator as soon as they entered the field, and were beaten to the ground within three minutes of the start of the battle.

This is a matter of course, because behind these combat bodies is the 'Heart of Terra' who has been fed by Ian and others for countless times!

Ever since Ian reached the pinnacle of the fourth stage of the Alpha Path, comparable to Terra's fifth energy level, he has been strengthening Terra's Heart.

And with the continuous expansion of the Yinfeng leader's sphere of influence, until he completely controlled the entire Nanling, Ian's current soul collection scope also expanded to the entire Nanling and its surrounding areas.

As a result, the computing power of the heart of Terra has gradually increased. In terms of computing power alone, it is difficult for Ian and the Chongling Armed Forces to compare, not to mention that most of the time, Ian will hang the Chongling Armed Forces on the On the heart of Terra, let its computing power go up to a higher level.

The white board controlled by the heart of Terra, it is said to be a white board, but it is a fighting machine that can perfectly cope with any situation, can use most of the fighting skills, can perfectly respond to every enemy attack and accurately counterattack!

In the face of this kind of opponent, as long as he is not really talented, it is only natural to be defeated.

Even Garr, facing the unstoppable onslaught of the simulated combat body like a tide, was stunned for a while—if it wasn't for the incredible resilience of the world-swallowing wolf, it would have allowed him to survive the most difficult moment. Otherwise, he would be kicked out within three minutes like other users who rashly challenged the highest difficulty.

But as Gar gradually adapted to the attack frequency of the combat body, and began to make use of the unique blood-selling tactics of the World Swallowing Wolf series, as well as the sublimation skills of manipulating the wind, he was able to suppress the combat body in turn.

"As expected of the bloodline of the fifth energy level, the ability is just different."

Anfa watched this scene, and couldn't help being a little surprised: "The higher the pressure, the more high-level bloodlines can show their advantages - the physical fitness of ordinary sublimators can't slow down, let alone fight back. "

"It seems that the high-level combat body you arranged, Ian, will soon be cleared."

"It's still early."

Ian was not worried at all, he stared at Gar's window with a smile on his face, and said leisurely: "Immediately, make sure that I have only half of my combat body left..."

"There will be a burst of 'fighting energy'."

boom!

At this moment, the fighting body, which had been suppressed by Gar in turn, suddenly stood up straight.

A series of air explosions erupted from its body, like thunder bursting, golden-red mist rose from its body, and invisible flames rose and burned, producing an extremely strong repulsive force, which knocked Garr away who was already close.

"really!"

And the young man with wolf blood who thought he was sure of winning, felt that he was a bit disappointed in his expectations, his eyes lit up, and a ray of red light lit up in his dark eyes: "The highly difficult simulated combat body in the pioneer space is not so simple!"

"Let me see what kind of stunt you have!"

With such thoughts in mind, Garr held back his attack slightly, and his whole posture retreated slightly, ready to witness the unique skills of the fighting body.

This seemingly easy choice determined his defeat.

The arms of the fighting body that had completely entered the state of 'excitement' collapsed and shook, and a burst of round thunder exploded in all directions, and its entire body also shot up into the sky, turning into a ray of golden light and rushing towards Garr inner circle.

As the fighting body waved its arms, there were already bursts of afterimages. In an instant, dozens of afterimages attacked Garr's forehead, neck, shoulders, ribs, lower abdomen and genitals at the same time. It is powerful and has an extremely powerful paralyzing interference electric light. It only needs to hit once to interrupt the action of hitting people, and then be hit by all subsequent attacks.

"What speed is this?!"

Garr's reaction speed is extremely fast, he has already retreated quickly, stepped down step by step, his footwork is unpredictable, and his hands are like flying back and forth, using the fastest speed to cut through every attack of the combat body.

But the more he meets Garr, the more frightened he is. The offensive and strength of the combat body are continuous, stronger than before, and now he has the physical fitness of the top bloodline, but he has not sensed any strong in the opponent's body. The reaction of the sublimation structure, there is only a simple source of movement, turned into the simplest and purest violence.

You know, with the background of their Heavenly Royal Court, Garr has already cultivated the strongest eyesight. He only needs to sense the operation of the source material structure in the enemy's body, and he can judge where the enemy will attack and how to use it. Ability.

However, this time, in the face of pure 'fighting energy', Gaar, who had never seen such a thing, suffered a big loss.

Keeping for a long time is bound to lose, and it is not bad for a moment. Gaer, who retreated a thousand meters, finally missed, the middle door opened wide, and was hit by a set of close-fitting instant continuous punches of the combat body—that is, the commonly known instant punches, and the whole person lost control fell to the ground.

--Oops!

Not only Ian and the others who were watching the battle knew that Gar was finished, but even Gar himself knew at this moment that when he completely lost his ability to dodge, the enemy's strongest and most terrifying attack would also come.

Sure enough, the next moment, the fighting body pulled his right hand back with all his strength, and his muscles contracted, like drawing a big bow.

Then, it was a heavy bombardment!

The heavy fist containing the golden thunder light hit the head of Garr, who was unable to resist. The shock wave not only crushed his head, but also paralyzed his heart.

This time, even the bloodline of the World Swallowing Wolf, which could fight without a head, lost its motivation and could no longer fight.

His body turned into particles of light and disappeared into the simulation space.

"Isn't this grudge the same as the new arcane path that you and Adalbert are studying?"

Seeing Garr, one of Terra's young geniuses, being killed by a combat body, Isengard couldn't help but widen his eyes. He made a calculation, and found that he might not even be able to force out his fighting spirit, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's so strong?"

"If Gaar continues to attack, he won't lose." Ian shook his head: "He gave the opportunity himself, hesitating for a moment whether to attack—and if he hesitates, he will lose."

"As for grudge, the theoretical ultimate form is indeed that strong."

Seeing that the fighting body defeated Gar, Ian was also quite relieved.

The so-called grudge is just a kind of degraded ether, and in theory, it shouldn't have too much effect in the battle of the third energy level.

However, if the mind-light body and battle qi are combined, it will change from the general public's battle qi that anyone can practice to a unique "personal battle qi", and then exert an effect similar to that of the heart-light body, becoming extremely Being strong is also a possibility in the future of the path of fighting qi.

"I see."

At this moment, even Yadbert understood Ian's purpose, and he suddenly said: "Ian, the combat body you arranged does not have any source material structure in the body, only pure physical quality-isn't this the way of the arcana?" Is it the theoretical ultimate form?"

"Cultivate battle qi, constantly strengthen your physical fitness, and through the operation of the source quality ether in your body, you can exert the simplest and most extreme strengthening ability. In this way, you can exert a strength that is not inferior to the true form of blood."

"Although this theoretical form only exists in the virtual combat body, if the practitioners of the arcane path persist in reality, at least 50% to 60% of the effect can be obtained!"

And 50% to 60% of the combat power of the combat body is already considered strong on Terra!

"Yes. However, this is something that only combat bodies controlled by the Heart of Terra can do. Most people still have to condense the sublimation structure through meditation, so as to effectively improve their combat effectiveness."

Ian nodded slightly, and he was in a good mood at the moment: "Through the pioneer space, I can also collect various effects of fighting spirit. These people who have been defeated by the combat body must also be researching technologies related to fighting spirit—and their techniques and experience , will also become my achievement.”

"They have prostituted their vindictiveness from me for nothing, and I will prostitute further results from them for nothing. This is a win-win situation, a win-win situation!"

"More than that."

Ian raised his hand and pointed to the defeated users who were turning into light particles on the other screens: "Although the pioneer space does not enter the entity, only the soul enters it, but when it is defeated, the soul will overflow a part of spiritual matter. "

The light particles floated in the pioneer space, and then were recovered by the heart of Terra. This scene made everyone except Ian show a surprised expression, and Ian smiled: "These spiritual substances are not for them. No matter what, as long as you don’t fail more than ten times in a row in a day, there won’t be any loss.”

"But the pioneer space can accumulate a lot, and can also accumulate a lot of psychic matter to strengthen ourselves-not only that, we can also collect their combat data."

"For example, if someone can defeat a high-level virtual combat body, what they have to face is a super-class combat body with certain goblin abilities and earth-type ascendant abilities."

"And when they can defeat the special battle body, they will be the master battle body with the ability to immobilize the fortified city and the ability of high-level goblins."

"If they can really defeat this...then what they will face next is my avatar..."

"My 'Daotu Clone'."

"No, wait." Listening to Ian's eloquent talk, Anfa discovered an important point: "In this case, can't they just guess who you are?"

Xiou couldn't help but also said: "Yes, this is too straightforward, don't move the strong city and goblins, wouldn't it be possible for any fool to guess that you opened the pioneer space?"

"It's just a response." Ian didn't care about it: "If someone can defeat advanced and special fighters now, then he has enough talent and ability to let me show my true body to recruit."

"But obviously, no one on Terra currently has this ability. So, soon, there will be brand new 'Special' and 'Master' combat bodies."

"Look. Now, because of Gaar's information, I already have battle data of the 'World Swallowing Wolf' department!"

Ian raised his hand and pointed to the corner of the pioneer space. There, a virtual combat body similar in shape to Garr was already shaking its fists and feet, showing various strange high-speed regeneration abilities and fierce fighting methods.

After all, the Pioneer Space is just a simulation, and it does not really create a sublimator to fight with the user, so it is not difficult to restore some abilities.

"After a while." Ian still felt that it was not enough, and continued: "I will develop a PVP function, so that the pioneer space users on the Warcraft side can fight against the users on the Terra continent. After that, the human-to-human Engagement can also be opened up, allowing everyone to involve in this regard."

"If you can't beat AI, is it possible that you can't beat other people? Unlike simulated combat bodies with absolute strength, fighting with other people is more realistic and rewarding."

"If it's a game like this..."

At this moment, Adalbert muttered to himself: "That really won't make people wasteful—but on the contrary, I suspect that some people may not be able to continue playing."

"don’t worry."

Ian laughed. He always took a few steps to think about this kind of thing: "Now, it's just a simple fight, and it's a game, which is the most common fighting game. Although it is true that the hard core makes people grow, but There are indeed very few people who can 'play' for a long time."

"But in the future, when the heart of Terra becomes stronger and can simulate many scenes in the past and the future, the Pioneer Space can open some 'testing spaces', allowing our users to immerse themselves in it and experience some history and future possibilities for themselves. The big event in the world, I have learned from it!"

"Past and future?"

Isengard was keenly aware of this key word: "I can understand the future, it is your way...Indeed, there are many major events in it taken out alone, which are enough to make a script for saving or destroying the world... If It is for people to practice, and indeed it can make people gain a lot.”

"But in the past..."

"It depends on my brother."

At this moment, Ian turned his head, and the virtual window on his side opened, but it was not the scenery inside the pioneer space, but a young Bai Zhimin in Xiahui City, who was studying and taking notes seriously.

Elan is studying seriously at the moment, with a strict look, a kind of serious cuteness, and Ian can even see Ian's demeanor back then.

Looking at his younger brother, Ian smiled: "Elan's spiritual power can go back to the past events - when he grows up and connects with the heart of Terra, he can create a 'script' about the past .”

"Now, what we have done is just the beginning."

"My real goal in the future... is to drive the pioneer space with a perpetual motion machine, covering everyone in Terra, every monster, and every intelligent life—everyone can enter the pioneer space, and will be covered by Terra's heart. Supervisors will also be guided by the heart of Terra to learn and play."

"People will be able to travel in a virtual but not empty time and space, travel in the past and the future, know the possibility and history, experience in various scenes that are almost real, and enrich their lives."

"Games, in this regard, are no different from books. Reading a book is equivalent to simulating a different life experience, and games are the same. People will use games to deepen the thickness of their lives through entertainment and education. .”

"Adelbert."

At this point, Ian looked at his friend, and he asked sincerely: "Those who want to play can play. Those who want to rest can rest. But if there is pursuit, you can get what you want from it." Everything, gradually from the virtual to the real, and gradually become a real and real powerhouse."

"If this is the future, do you still think it's a waste of people's time and possibilities?"

"No……"

Yadbert shook his head slowly, and he smiled softly: "If this is the future, Ian...my friend, my guide..."

He turned his head and looked at the pioneer space, the light in his eyes was full of hope: "If this is the future, I am willing to give everything I have to realize it."

"That was exactly my dream."

"A world that no one can refuse."

Not only Yadbert, but even Xiou, who usually likes to be lazy, can't refuse this possibility, let alone Isengard and Anfa who have already begun to think about whether to try it in person to improve their actual combat capabilities. up.

"But it's just painting a pie."

Ian does not shy away from this point: "All the functions are just the beginning, and we need to gradually improve them."

"However, even the simplest pioneer space and terminal network are enough to make the people of Flamingo support me."

"So, the next point is actually to find a good 'excuse'."

Having said that, Ian pointed to a corner of the pioneer space.

There, there was a 'succubus' from Flameland who was studying hard and preparing for the exam.

'Son of the Lord of Light', the fallen demon, Ace Nemathus, as a member of the pioneer space, is seriously improving himself.

He didn't know that his every move was watched by Ian all the time, and even the skills he learned and the improvement of his strength were under Ian's control.

"He's our excuse, our top priority."

"The Grand Duke Nanling of the Empire invaded Feiyan Land. Anyone who heard such a thing would frown, but if the son of King Yuguang obtained forbidden power to counterattack his hometown in order to avenge his father... then even if other people can see him It’s just my remote control puppet, so I’m afraid I won’t say much.”

"Look, everyone."

"This is our future 'King of Flameland'."

It's not that I want to write more, it's just that there are so many as I write! Just finished writing and going to bed, good night everyone!
