My slow journey to infinity

Chapter 135 Mission failure ≠ No gain, return

On the quiet and peaceful hillside behind Hogwarts, three men in slightly different clothes were sitting together.

The one on the left is wearing a simple, loose and sturdy cloth coat. He looks like a worker who often does manual labor, or an old-school explorer. There is a sense of vicissitudes in both his appearance and expression.

A long tear was torn open on the chest of his shirt, which directly exposed the wide fresh scars inside, and the stubble of the woven material of the clothing was soaked with his own blood.

The one in the middle is wearing a priest's robe with red and white main colors and gold and blue decorations. He himself is constantly exuding a holy aura. Except for the action of sitting directly on the mountain steps, which is a little less serious, the overall look is still very harmonious.

The one on the right is wearing a type of clothing called [hunting attire], a common uniform for awakened people.

It is usually a combination of relatively close-fitting trousers and a coat, and there are also loose short tops and hooded cloaks. The one on the right is wearing the latter.

On the left, of course, is the knight uncle who is resting and recovering.

In the middle is the Shield Dog of the Knower who has just taken away his body and been reborn.

On the right is Wang Shui, who has carefully confirmed that the other two people have no space-related abilities and has come over to eavesdrop.

…

"After you go back, are you going to return to [Dragon Hunting]? Big brother and the others miss you very much, but you have to personally convince the younger ones. They have not forgiven you for defecting."

While extending the invitation, the uncle knight took out high-energy snacks to replenish the losses in the body's recovery.

The shield dog was not polite and started eating together.

Shield Dog usually does not deliberately pretend to be holy and serious, that is his natural temperament, but in front of old friends, his temperament will become more casual.

After hearing what the uncle knight said, the shield dog smiled bitterly and replied:

"Oh, it's not just the young master and the others who have objections, right? Thinking about it for more than a year, I had hoped that everyone would forget, and imagined how I would go back in despair, but who could have imagined that [Long Shou] ] Never returned to the first level...

I killed three level 4 squad leaders, and everyone's "battlefield mission reward weight" fell directly out of the first level. In more than a year, how many brothers died for those few resources?

Senior brother, [Dragon Hunting] is no longer a small circle of a dozen of us, it is a group of two to three hundred people - I don’t want to face those boring accusations anymore..."

The uncle knight, who was called [Senior Brother], naturally accepted the shield dog's true feelings.

"...Well, you have broken away from the identity of the awakened person. There is no need to worry about improving yourself. There is a vast world outside waiting for you to meet. Go farther...

but! Don't be arrogant just because you become stronger, and leave the front line of chaotic management, and leave us. You must put away your tendency to preach, and don't teach others knowledge casually, and be sure to do so! Don’t advance casually!

Also, don’t blame Big Brother. "

The shield dog smiled slightly:

"I understand your worries, but I've never been proud of myself.

You also know how useless I was back then. After experiencing several worlds, I didn't even learn basic combat skills. Everyone was dragged down by me and suffered so much. How could I be proud and waste my life indiscriminately.

Every time I advance, I have everyone’s protection, and it will be like this in the future... So, even if I leave the system first, I will not forget my dream of spending my old age with everyone.

As for the elder brother's problem, it was my initiative to help him deal with the moles before, but the method was too violent and was unacceptable to the cronies of the moles and the brothers below.

I haven't changed, I'm the most relaxed one. Do you still want everyone to worry about my mental condition now?

And I don’t want to go back to [Dragon Hunting]. More importantly, I want to prepare a place for everyone to stay in advance.

Although we parted again after we went out, really, don’t be so sad. We just can’t see each other often, and it’s not that we can’t communicate online.

On the other hand, the young masters... I have to trouble you to explain to me that they have never been truly awakened. They view the world too simply. "

The shield dog's long and affectionate words made the knight uncle feel very comfortable. Although he still refused to help explain, at least his expression was much softer now.

Alas, he had to sigh when he was happy. He was used to sighing.

In more than a year, [Dragon Hunter] has undergone many changes, and the knight uncle has also become much older. In fact, he is not much older than the shield dog.

In the fifteen years since he entered this fantasy world, he has also carefully observed the changes in the shield dog.

He was very afraid, afraid that the gentle and sunny junior brother back then would turn into some kind of monster. In fact, it was not just him, but the brothers waiting outside also had this fear.

The world is really not just about fighting and killing.

Even these system mercenaries and war hounds, most of them do not enjoy killing, they are just used to it...

Under the control of the system, every combat-type awakened person is under tremendous pressure - survival pressure, resource pressure, level pressure, and various fatal environmental pressures.

As long as they don't climb to a certain height, wouldn't everyone's life be in danger, even in a large and seemingly beautiful hunting group like theirs? Aren’t you trying to live every day?

The awakened ones have all lost their families in their previous lives forever, and are forcibly bound to the system.

Faced with various pressures, most people choose to use low-level entertainment and indulgence to relieve themselves.

A small number of people may have higher taste and style, but all of them will feel some inexplicable emptiness, an emptiness of not knowing where they will die tomorrow...

They are motivated, they kill, but more than anything, they just want stronger stimulation to fill the void.

The [Dragon Hunting] group of people is slightly different. Under the pressure of the system, they chose to use the friendship along the way to sublimate it into a relationship similar to family affection.

They fill that inexplicable emptiness with higher and more luxurious emotions.

This emotion is not unique to them, but only a very small number of groups can have such a sincere and strong family affection.

Wang Shui, who was eavesdropping next to him, suddenly felt inexplicable envy.

He is also a master, and he is also unable to obtain abilities in the early stage, but he does not meet a group of companions who support each other.

However, as soon as this feeling of envy appeared, it was offset by the warm resonance in [Sylvia Network]. In the internal network, there seemed to be some kind of music that directly hit the soul. The comfortable soul fluctuations gently lifted everyone Wrapped.

The corners of Aqua Regia's mouth naturally raised in the phase-invisible state.

The knight uncle and the shield dog were still chatting, but the amount of information behind them was much less.

About half an hour later, the knight uncle suddenly stood up and said:

"Okay, my injury has recovered and it will definitely not attract the attention of the system. It's time for us to leave.

Brother, they are still waiting outside. You are not in a hurry to leave anyway. Go out and chat with them first. "

The shield dog smiled and nodded, then took out a blank secret card from the priest's robe.

After the activation light effect flashed, the shield dog disappeared on the spot, but the secret card remained.

The uncle knight gently caught the falling secret card, then turned and walked towards the Hogwarts castle.

On that secret card was a lifelike portrait of a shield dog.

Wang Shui did not follow him, he just sat quietly for a while, and after hearing the huge explosion, he teleported back to his study.

At the same time, the system prompt sounded——

[Main line warning! It has been less than 24 hours since the start of the "Agent War". The temporary team of awakeners in this world has not established more than two "war cores", and the main mission will soon be judged as a failure! 】

[Do the awakened people need to wait until the countdown ends? 】

Wang Shui immediately chose No. Two seconds later, the system's voice and text appeared in his field of vision again——

[Dream system detection... The main mission "Agent War" failed... Dynamic penalty calculation...]

[The multiplayer fantasy world is being studied and judged...]

At this moment, the world turned into gentle white light, and Wang Shui subconsciously began to feel the changes in the nearby space.

For a moment, he seemed to have returned to the gate of truth again, returning to the feeling of being one with the world, but this time the world was much smaller.

At the same time, he also "saw" another identical wizard world, and a war world that was consistent with the digital atlas of war.

The ability in space gave Wang Shui a new perspective.

[World Level: Level 3]

[Danger scale: 4]

[Main line difficulty: 4]

[Difficulty of branch line: None]

[Task completion: 0]

[Plot exploration degree: -191%]

[Comprehensive rating: F] (F-S)

[The main mission failed! The punishment is as follows——]

[The special main line "Agent War" failed, and the awakened ones triggered the compulsory recruitment mechanism. Within three days of returning to the main world, they must immediately board the designated transport ship, go to the random "real frontline", and complete a certain number of backlog tasks! 】

[Current remaining stay time: 5 minutes, do you want to return? 】

Tsk, the horrible settlement panel made Wang Shui dumbfounded.

Although the main line of the war failed and he still had to accept punishment, overall, Wang Shui was quite satisfied with this trip to the fantasy world.

First, they completed research on mobile armor.

Secondly, Wang Shui himself also gained a lot of additional knowledge and gained more knowledge.

After sorting out the magic book "Water Pollution", his basic spellcasting abilities of various levels were finally integrated into——

[Spellcaster Knowledge·No School (Mastery)]

The problem of physical fitness being stuck by his race has successfully turned around with the help of Master Xiao Chen's tailor-made training method.

Wang Shui also gained an understanding of space in the process of learning the cultivation system. He even exceeded his level and created a magical work like "The Lost Key".

Therefore, [Yudao Cunyi], which represents space ability and cultivation system, became Wang Shui's second master-level ability.

However, this ability has been blocked by Wang Shui himself, and he does not want the system to notice.

Afterwards, Wang Shui had no choice but to witness a simple yet complex calculation.

Throughout the entire show, until the end, Wang Shui did not interfere. He just watched calmly, calmly acted as a corpse, and calmly accepted the reality that the main mission had failed.

After all, his teammates are either dead or have stopped playing completely. With only his own one million resistance troops, he really has no chance of victory.

Wang Shui's avoidance was not just out of cowardice, but also because it was really unnecessary - there was really no need for him to fight to the death with the shield dog.

Moreover, Wang Shui never thought about helping. After all, considering the other party's cautiousness, trying to make friends in this environment would only arouse suspicion and wariness.

Wang Shui briefly reviewed the experience of the past fifteen years, filtered out a large number of designs that did not play a role, and then chose to return.

However, the system testing is not finished yet.

[Special signs of the fantasy world have been detected. In this world, there are prohibited knowledge such as "mind control ability" and "special space ability". In order to prevent the spread of prohibited knowledge, the system will use "retrospective memory scanning" and "ability effects" on awakened persons. Scan", please relax and cooperate. 】

Here comes the test that Aqua Regia had expected.

The system just notified Wang Shui and did not give Wang Shui a chance to refuse, but fortunately, Wang Shui had already made preparations.

[Scan ended, no relevant experiences or abilities found. 】

As the final notification from the system was issued, the light in Wang Shui's eyes became chaotic. When he regained his vision, he had returned to the main world.

Sure enough, it was passed safely as expected.

So, did Wang Shui gain any forbidden knowledge?

The answer is, of course, yes.

Wang Shui not only obtained forbidden knowledge, but also refined and improved mind control spells such as [Soul Seizing Technique], and used unregistered spatial knowledge of [Space Secret Text] to develop master-level spatial abilities.

But he got away with it so easily? Didn't the system notice his little move?

Well, I really didn’t find it.

Problems with knowledge and memory are not difficult to solve.

Wang Shui used [Occlumency] and other mind control spells to edit false memories for himself, and he successfully deceived a system that was not very concerned about.

And he put his master-level spatial ability in a state to be tested, so that it would be foolproof.

Returning to the main world, what appeared in front of Wang Shui's eyes was what looked like a small town.

Wang Shui was standing inside a square, surrounded by a sparse crowd and a few awakened people setting up stalls.

There is no doubt that this is a small town under the rule of the system.

When entering the wizarding world, Wang Shui entered directly through the [Key], and after coming out, the system arranged for him to come to the nearby town.

After checking the map, Wang Shui found that it was not far from the ruined city [Rena], so after walking a certain distance outside, he took out a secret card.

Wang Shui did not deliberately avoid the surrounding sight. He activated his spatial ability carelessly, and then his whole person began to become blurry and transparent.

After more than ten seconds of debugging, Shui Wang finally completely disappeared from the town.

The surrounding awakeners all thought that Wang Shui relied on the secret card to use his spatial ability.

The look in their eyes made Wang Shui feel at ease a lot.
