Chapter 102 Meeting and Negotiation(1/2)
Overall, the auxiliary creature given to me by the system this time is quite reasonable. Although I do not have the ability to directly participate in the battle, I don’t have much problem using it normally.
After explaining everything in the guild, I let Zhenhong and Rose go their own way, but I didn't let Christina go, but took her to the fulcrum with her.
Before teleporting over, Christina and I made some disguise. Instead of using illusion spells, we directly found two hooded robes. The biggest advantage of this black robes is that they can not see any of your characteristics. Because the clothes are too wide and the hood is not supported, they can naturally droop the brim of the hat to cover your face. The super long robes can be dragged to the ground, and the sleeves on them are also greater than the length of the arm. As long as you shrink your arms a little, no part will be exposed. Although this looks strange, as long as others don’t come up and lift your hat openly, it is impossible to know who you are, even if you use detection spells. After all, this is not an illusion but a cover.
After leaving the fulcrum city in such a strange outfit, Christina and I quickly sneaked into a nearby forest, and then followed a passage that had been explored in the forest to an underground leveling point.
The total area of the environment map in the game is actually much larger than that of the real world. Although the actual number of creatures has increased many times because of the addition of many NPCs and monsters in the game, the game map is much larger than in reality. In fact, people don’t think that the world is so crowded in the game. The reason why this game map is larger than in reality is mainly because the world is layered in Zero. In addition to the surface world, there are many copies, underwater maps and underground maps.
Japan is originally a country with a large population and a small land, so the population density is very large. In order to make reasonable adjustments to the population density of Japan, the map of Japan in the game may be the most widely distributed and largest number in the underground world in the world.
Underground passages can be seen everywhere in Japan. As long as you pay a little attention, basically every large leveling area has some specific underground leveling points. Therefore, it is very simple to find an underground world in Japan.
The reason why Christina and I entered the underground map was not that we wanted to level up here. It was because we wanted to meet Matsumoto and the others. It was obviously impossible to swagger from the ground, so we could only choose to approach Matsumoto and the others from below. Of course, we could not directly enter the place where Matsumoto and the others were. We had to contact Matsumoto and the others after they left the city. This was possible to ensure safety.
Christina and I entered this tunnel that had been discovered long ago and quickly moved towards the depth of the tunnel. It was similar to the leveling area on the surface. The leveling area in the tunnel also had a distinction between the advanced monster area and the ordinary monster area. This way of distinction was divided by depth. The leveling area on the surface was that the deeper you entered the leveling area, the higher the monster level, and the same was true for the underground leveling area. The more you advance to the depth of the tunnel, the higher the monster level. In this case, Christina and I continued to penetrate deep into the interior, and the monsters around us began to continuously improve the level, and soon we entered the depth of the monsters that were generally about two thousand levels.
At this depth, all the monsters we encounter are quite advanced monsters, which greatly limits our advancement speed. However, such a map also helps us solve the problem of being stalked, because no one can shuttle in the monster area of this level, especially the tunnel environment, the road is narrow, if you don’t want to return the same way after encountering a monster, you can only break through and touch it quietly... it may not be impossible, but it is definitely not that easy.
After we advanced for a distance in such a monster area, we began to summon the pioneers and then drove horizontally in the passage. The advantage of passing through the walls is that the enemy cannot pursue it because we will collapse the area we have passed so that the enemy will not be able to catch up.
After digging a distance, we entered a new passage. This passage is actually a mission area from the passage we entered before, but the direction is different. Another reason why we chose this mission area to get rid of the pursuers is that there are many exits in this place. As long as we get rid of the pursuers in a certain area in the middle, others will not expect to find us again, because the environment in the underground passage determines that it is difficult to leave footprints and other traces in this place. Because there are too many exits, once you go apart, it is difficult to find it as if you are ascending to the sky.
The most important thing to move forward in such a place is to master the direction, because there is no reference for you in the underground environment. In such places, you will not be able to distinguish between the east, south, west and north of the channel. The underground world maps in the game are often magnetic abnormal areas, and the compass and other places are all decorations in this place. Therefore, it is very simple for people with poor direction to get lost in the underground world. As long as we just get into this place, we can quickly get rid of the pursuers behind us.
It took us an hour to pass the underground passage of the nine-curve and eighteen-turn. After an hour, two ordinary players walked out from another exit at least fifty kilometers away from the entrance of the passage we entered. Both of them were wearing rare suits and equipment. Although everyone knew that suits were good things, the problem was that this thing was too difficult to find. The equipment we usually got was one piece, and after they got it, part of them had to be eliminated according to the attributes. It would be good to use the rest. It was also worth expecting that they happened to be a whole set. Those books were equal to dreaming. So, most players' equipment was actually very messy. Fortunately, the designers of "Zero" had made some appearance optimizations for the equipment. Although the equipment of different sets of equipment can be clearly seen together, at least it would not be too ugly to wear it indiscriminately. At most, it would be just not very coordinated.
However, the equipment styles of these two players are unified, and there are very regular interfaces. Many parts have unified logo-like marks. All of this shows that this is a suit. Because the suit has more set joint attributes than ordinary loose equipment, most sets can be said to be good equipment. At least when the levels are not too different, players would rather have lower-level sets than advanced loose parts.
Although the suits on these two people are not particularly exaggerated, they both look beautiful and have a generous appearance. They are of a regular design. They should be medium and high-quality equipment, especially the weapons of the two people, with a faint light on them, which means that this is at least the Holy Spirit-level equipment.
Although the equipment of the two people is not very gorgeous, they are all pretty good things after all. So the rate of looking back along the way is quite high. Of course, the more important reason is that the female players among these two players look like a big beauty, so they attract the attention of other male players. As for that male player... This guy's profession is Japanese samurai, and one of the most commonly used equipment for Japanese samurai is the ghost mask. So the appearance of this guy is impossible to see at all. However, judging from the long silver-white hair scattered behind the guy's helmet and part of the outline exposed on his face, he should be a handsome guy.
Just after these two players walked out of the exit, a few Japanese players gathered together not far away. One of them looked anxious and asked to the other people: "Did you find it here?"
One of the Japanese players replied: "No. All of us are ordinary players. There are no targets worth noting."
After hearing this, the person who asked the question stomped his feet in an atmosphere and said, "It's so damn, they actually ran away again."
"Why do you say they ran away?" Another Japanese player said: "Zi Ri and that Christina were just staying in it for an hour, maybe they haven't come out yet! Besides, can you be sure that those two people must be them?"
"Idiot!" The Japanese player who asked this question cursed very angrily: "Our spies were waiting for Esinger for three days and three nights. They watched Zi Ri and others enter the teleportation array. The people on our side also saw the two people in robes appearing in the report. They can be sure that the two people are Zi Ri and Christina. They must have plans to come to Japan. But we actually chased the person. How do you tell the boss?" After the man said that, he found that the person he was talking to did not reply.
He answered himself, and when he looked up, he found that this guy was distracted in a certain direction. When he followed the man's gaze, he happened to see the two players in suits walking by near them. The dazed player seemed to be looking at the female player among the two. After seeing the situation, the Japanese player who was talking immediately broke out. He angrily slapped the guy in the head, and then cursed: "When is it that you still have the heart to see the beauty? Ask someone to go into the hole and look for it. If you can't help, don't come back."
"But there are so many forks in this tunnel, we can't finish checking even if we send everyone in!"
"Don't talk nonsense to me. If I ask you to find me, I'll look for it. If you are disobedient, be careful that I will peel your skin." After this guy finished speaking, he turned around and left angrily, while the few people there summoned their men and assigned a simple task and entered the cave over there to find someone.
And just after these guys entered the cave, the two players who walked past them couldn't help but laugh after entering a secluded section of the road.
"Hahahaha, those idiots laughed so hard!" The female player among the two players actually said Christina's voice, but Christina is a standard Aryan, with standard blonde hair and blue eyes, and very white skin. This is the characteristic of Europeans. However, although the beauty in front of her is as beautiful as Christina, she is a standard Asian, which has nothing to do with Christina's own image.
"Don't laugh, our appearance changes so much that there will be ghosts if they can recognize them." At this time, the Japanese samurai next to me, said.
In fact, the two people here are Christina and me, and the reason why the change is so big is mainly because we used some small tricks to deceive those Japanese players.
The reason why Christina's personal race changed a lot is because she activated her talented skill of the Emperor Yuan** - mimicry. Elemental Elfs themselves are energy creatures without form. If they don't make special settings, their appearance should actually be a sphere. The reason why the elemental Elf we usually see looks like little beauties with wings is entirely because they like this shape very much, so they deliberately mimic it like this. If they restore their own shape, these girls are just spheres.
After obtaining the identity of Emperor Yuan*, Christina possessed all the abilities of elemental elves, including mimicry, but Christina is not an assassin, and she rarely performs tasks that require secret infiltration. As a turret and a multi-functional cannon, Christina is earth-shaking no matter where she appears. So she rarely uses this auxiliary ability to change appearance. However, because she is not used very much, it is only when Christina suddenly uses it.
It would look so good, because no one could imagine that Christina could actually change into an Asian person. This strange ability made the Japanese players look for the wrong direction. They were looking for a European. The result was that even the lustful guy stared at Christina for a long time and almost even drooled out. But he was actually just admiring the beauty, and he never thought that the beauty he had seen all the way was the target they were looking for.
Of course, it wouldn't be enough to deceive everyone if you just change foreign trade. After all, Christina's equipment is also quite famous, so Christina took the time to change the equipment when she was in the authentic world. Now the things she is also mage equipment, but they are very different from her original style, because her original set was a magical artifact suit, and now this set is a Holy Spirit suit, and it is Asian style, which is very different from the original European equipment. Therefore, when an Asian beauty appears in the Japanese game area wearing an Asian style equipment, everyone will think that this is a local girl at the first time, and no one will think that she will be European.
Compared to Christina, I don’t have that convenient ability. Although I have two numbers to switch and can completely switch the purple sun to the silver moon form, because the silver moon form is completely a beautiful woman, I don’t want to change it easily. However, even if I don’t change the numbers, I can’t recognize me.
Compared to Christina, a level of strategic nuclear weapons, I often run outside and need some infiltration from time to time, which determines that I need various disguises. In order to deal with this situation, I asked the founder in the guild in advance to design a very special set of equipment for me.
This set of equipment is actually a heavy armor suit for warriors with very good attributes. However, although it is a standard warrior suit, it has the equipment characteristics of Japanese professional Japanese samurai. That is to say, as long as I am not exposed myself, others will not be able to see that I am actually a warrior rather than a Japanese samurai. As for the hair extending from the helmet... the design of a wig is not very difficult, right?
In fact, this silver hair is not connected to my head, but to the helmet. Before I put on the helmet, just stuff all my hair into the helmet, and the wig pre-installed under the helmet makes people feel as if my hair is spread out from it. Although this design is very simple, it is actually very simple like many magic tricks. Before I figure it out, most people will be easily deceived.
The biggest advantage of this strange design is that it uses various misleading to widen the gap between the image I showed and the original image to the limit. In this case, normal people would not guess that I was actually Ziri. After all, no Japanese player could imagine that I would have a Japanese profession. After all, that set of armor is too deceptive.
Under such disguise, we easily got confused from the crowd, so that no one thought that the two of us were the strongest combat power of the Frost Rose Alliance, which was deeply hated by Japanese players.
After successfully leaving the leveling area, we directly used the teleportation array from Japan to a city near Matsumoto Masaga and his area. Then the personnel on both sides entered a leveling area controlled by the New Black Dragon Society from two directions.
This leveling area is a leveling point that Matsumoto and their new Black Dragon Association specifically occupy. Because of its large area and high quality monsters, it is used as a special leveling area for training key personnel. At each entrance to this leveling area, players from the New Black Dragon Association are guarding it. Matsumoto and their team do not completely occupy the entire leveling area, but only keep their personnel closed for a period of time when they need training. The advantage of this method is that it will not arouse too much resistance, and Matsumoto and their team also have reasonable explanations for this, such as studying secret skills.
The leveling area is not in a blockade, so Christina and I entered from the entrance of the leveling area here without any obstacles, and Masaki Matsumoto and others didn't have to worry about anything.
After entering the leveling area, we both began to move towards a certain area according to the established route, and soon we met in an advanced leveling area. This place is already very deep, and ordinary players will definitely not be able to enter. Moreover, Matsumoto Masaga greeted the players of the New Black Dragon Club outside before entering this place. Therefore, the subsequent personnel will be intercepted, so even if there is a tail now, they will not be able to keep up.
"Will it...long..." When Masaki Matsumoto and I suddenly saw me and me, they were obviously stunned for a moment.
Christina and I smiled intentionally without saying anything, while Matsumoto Masaki and Aotsuki, who were opposite, leaned up in surprise. In fact, they were sure that this was Christina and me, and the reason was that they had communicator headphones in their ears. Now both sides were in positioning navigation mode. So they were sure that they were not wrong. However, seeing our current image, Masaki Masaki was really unresponsive.
Sakura Yu Shenkai looked at Christina for a long time before suddenly saying, "Are you Sister Christina?"
Christina couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Hahaha, your expressions are really funny."
"It's you!" Chihuo Longji suddenly relaxed at this time. Although his appearance had changed a lot, we did not change our voices, so we could hear it as soon as we spoke. "How did you two become like this?" Chihuo Longji asked excitedly.
Christina smiled and explained her deformation principle to them, and it was even easier for me to just take off her helmet.
Seeing the wig connected to my helmet, Matsumoto Masaga couldn't help but say, "Damn, your design is really... I don't know what to say. By the way, how did you change your job to a Japanese specialty profession?"
"How do you know I've changed my job as a specialty profession?" I asked back.
Matsumoto Masaga was a little stunned. August Jung responded much faster and asked directly: "Isn't this a Japanese samurai suit?"
I smiled and nodded and said, "This is specially designed by someone I found. The appearance can be fake and real, but in essence this is a heavy plate armor, and it is a standard warrior suit."
"Damn, your idea is so awesome. You can become like this by simply changing the set of equipment. It's so powerful." Chihuo Dragon Ji exclaimed.
"Okay, okay, all are quiet." I signaled to Matsumoto Masao and the others to calm down, and then said, "Let's talk about the serious matter now. We have been running around so hard to show off our equipment to you."
As soon as he talked about the main business, Matsumoto Masaki immediately became serious. "Okay, we talk about the main business, but we need to change our location before that. This place is not a good place to speak."
In fact, what Masaga Matsumoto said makes sense. This is just the place where we meet, not the place where we chat. The sound in this channel will be transmitted in a concentrated manner, so the sound will be transmitted at a very long distance. Although it will interfere with each other after multiple rebounds of the echo, as long as people with special listening assistance can still hear it. Therefore, this place is not a good place to speak. In addition, this place is a high-level monster area after all. What should we do if we suddenly speak?
The method to get out of here is very simple. Just use directional teleportation directly, but it is not a teleportation to another place, but a special New Black Dragon Society stronghold established in a nearby city. There is a secret room in this place, which is very suitable for conversation. As for the location where our teleportation appears... this is actually a public teleportation point, but it is only public to the New Black Dragon Society. The reason why Christina and I cannot teleport here directly is that we are not from the New Black Dragon Society, so we can't come here, but as long as Matsumoto Masaki and others are with us, there is no problem, because the teleportation array will only identify one person's identity. As long as one person meets the requirements, others can follow and teleport together.
When a group of us appeared at the teleportation point in the city of the New Black Dragon Society, the Japanese players around us immediately bowed to us, because Matsumoto Masaki and they were the boss after all, so they were respected specially. After Masaki and the others took us away, these people returned to normal and did their own things, and no one asked about the origin of me and Christina. After all, we came with Masaki Masaki, and Masaki Masaki was the boss here. Investigating the boss's actions was not a good thing. It is called meddling in other people's business. If it is severe, it is suspected of spy.
After following Matsumoto Masaki and the others to the secret special secret room, we found that there were actually a few players from the guild we sent to Masaki and Masaki here. Of course, these were people from our Frost Rose Alliance before, but now they have changed into the identity of the New Black Dragon Association. They were all sent to Masaki Masaki for help. So they must have an identity that is convenient to move. Their identity in the Frost Rose Alliance has long been cancelled. Now from the perspective of the system, they are people from the New Black Dragon Association.
The main job of these players in the New Black Dragon Club is to operate the communication hub in front of us. Since the last time Matsumoto Masaki and his communication hub were taken away by Ghost Nobunaga and others, we realized that the communication hub cannot be simply equipped with one.
Last time, the Nobunaga and the others raided Matsumoto Masaki and their city. They accidentally robbed the communication hub, and the communication hub at that time was the only communication hub in the entire Japan region. The function of this thing in our guild's communication network is somewhat similar to that of a program-controlled switch in a telephone, and the communication hub and a program-controlled switch are different. There may be many switches, but the number of communication hubs is very small, and there is only one in Japan.
Because this communication hub is the only one in Japan, our communication network in Japan was instantly paralyzed after being obtained by Nobunaga Ghost. Although everyone's communicators are good, because the transit equipment no longer exists, everyone's communicators are like mobile phones that leave the tower, which is simply a decoration.
However, the last incident also reminded us in disguise, so it was not a good thing. We learned from it and began to equip each region with dual communication hubs. When one communication hub is attacked or other problems are caused to fail to work, another communication hub can immediately start to intervene in the communication network.
The exchange method we use is not to let two communication hubs go online together, but to let one of them always take on tasks online. As long as there is no problem, the other communication hub will not go online. However, although this backup communication hub will not go online, it monitors the entire communication network at all times. Once it is found that network No. 1 is paralyzed or invaded, the backup machine will immediately start all functions and start online. At this time, when it goes online, all online communication devices will immediately change the working frequency band and enter the second network, and this No. 2 network will block the No. 1 communication hub and the invaded terminal. That is to say, no matter what form of invasion our communication network is affected, we can instantly repair communication failures and ensure network security. Of course, the possibility of two sets of devices having problems together is not lacking, but compared to one set, after all, it is always better to have a backup plan.
What we see now is the backup machine, and the main communication hub is actually under the headquarters building of the New Black Dragon Society. This is also a disguised darkness under the light. Many Japanese players probably didn't expect that our Frost Rose Alliance's intelligence transfer station was actually under their headquarters building, and it was maintained by the New Black Dragon Society.
Those players in charge of operating the equipment looked at Matsumoto Masaki Matsumoto with vigilant eyes when they saw Christina and I appear here. Their eyes were asking Matsumoto Masaki and who we are. After all, these players are all from the Frost Rose League. They know how important this communication hub is and how intimate their identity is. However, suddenly seeing Matsumoto Masaki and the others bring in two people they don’t know, they would naturally be very nervous. If it weren’t for Masaki and the others’ activeness, these people would have almost thought Masaki and the others had been betrayed.
"Hahahaha, look, you guys are scared again, right?" Chihuo Longji said with a smile.
I also smiled and took off my helmet. The players of the guild who were just facing a great enemy immediately relaxed and then turned into an excited expression. "President? Why are you here?"
"Masaki Matsumoto and I have something to discuss. Isn't it safer for you?"
Several people nodded to show their understanding, then exchanged greetings with us and returned to their work. After all, although their machine was not online, they were always monitoring the network, so no one could care about it.
After we finished talking with the members of the guild, I entered the room with Matsumoto Masaki and others. There are several rooms in this computer room, all of which are specially designed for use. The room we entered was not a conference room, but a small warehouse, but it was temporarily used as a conference room.
After we entered, Matsumoto Masaga closed the door. Then he nodded and signaled that Augustus could start. After seeing Masaga Masaga nodded, Augustus immediately walked to a box next to the corner of the wall. Then he moved out a crystal ball and then took out an excitation device.
We are not unfamiliar with this crystal ball. After all, this thing is memory crystal, the camera in the game. Almost every player has used this thing. The only difference is that everyone will not use such a large size. The recording and storage ability of memory crystals is related to their volume. But this is not a problem of equal proportions. It is a problem of geometric series.
When the volume of the memory crystal increases, its ability to record information is increased by the square of the volume increase rate, that is, the amount of information recorded in a one cubic meter of memory crystal is far exceeding the amount of data recorded in two and a half cubic cube memory crystals.
The memory crystal that August Xun just took out is already larger than that of a basketball. Memory crystal of this level is actually quite rare. Although there are several larger ones in our guild, they are all special items. This size is really rare.
After putting this memory crystal on the activation device, Augustusa operated it briefly, and the activation device immediately activated the memory crystal. The memory crystal quickly cast a beam of light towards the wall in front, and then a picture was displayed on the wall.
This picture surprised us again, because memory crystal generally records three-dimensional images directly. Although memory crystal is not as high-tech as the camera in reality, the actual function of this thing is actually much better than that of a camera. The picture recorded by this thing is not flat at all, but a 360-degree all-round image, and during the screening, you can still move around the picture. If it is a movie or TV, although it can also create a 3D effect, that 3D only makes you look three-dimensional, but it is not really 3D, because you
No matter what direction you see, it is the same picture. But the picture projected by the memory crystal is different. It is projected similar to the real scene. You can move around it and then you can see the memory picture from multiple directions. For example, using the memory crystal to remember the next person's freeze-frame picture. If it is a camera or camera, no matter how you flip the photo or play the screen, you see the person in one direction. However, if it is a memory crystal to record a frame of the picture, you just need to circle around the projection of the person and you can see the pictures in all directions.
However, although memory crystal can record full three-dimensional simulation scenes, this is not necessary. In other words, memory crystal can actually record flat images like a camera. This recording method looks much inferior to three-dimensional images, but this method has one advantage that other methods do not have, that is, it can save space.
The amount of information that needs to be recorded in three-dimensional images is too large, which means that the memory crystal cannot remember too much. However, if it is replaced with a plane, it will be different. This recording method can extend the recording time by more than ten times and record more information.
Now this memory crystal is very large, which means its capacity is quite terrifying. However, even for this level of memory crystal, Matsumoto Masaga and others actually used two-dimensional images to record information, which shows that the amount of data needed to be recorded is very large. What I know is that there is actually only one kind of information recorded in this way, that is... research materials.
I have said before that there are a few memory crystals larger than this one in our Frost Rose League. Except for one of them, the Babelta recorder, the rest are used to store research materials in our industry. After all, a library alone can only be said to have all our research data stored, but during the research process, it is obvious that the speed of checking the library is too slow, so memory crystals have become a very reasonable solution. Of course, the cost of this reasonable method is not cheap, and we are rich and powerful, so we dare to do this. Other guilds probably wouldn't use memory crystals if they have this need.
Sure enough, the image opened by Augustus is not projected with any special recording information, but experimental data all over the wall. Thanks to my fact that I have some knowledge of these things, I can probably see it. This is a reflection of the structure of some magic arrays and some research explanations of the basic principles of magic. Of course, because this is a research record rather than a conclusion, the content is very messy, but as the picture continues to scroll, I gradually discovered the research direction of this thing.
"Is this a study on the grafting structure of a magical formation?" I looked at Masaga Masao in surprise and asked.
Matsumoto Masaga was even more surprised when he heard my question. "Damn. Do you understand?"
When I heard Matsumoto Masaki's words, I immediately guessed the guy's intention. He was deliberately waiting to see me behaved, but I didn't expect that I could understand it. "Hehe, do you really think that I am a president for nothing?"
"Okay. I'm convinced." Matsumoto Masaga started to formally introduce it after he finished speaking: "This information is a super confidential research data stole by our senior spy stationed in the Ghost Hand League. According to this information, Ghost Hand Nobunaga and others seem to have obtained some very special research technology from somewhere. This technology is still a semi-finished product, but it is very close to a finished product. The core of this technology is that it can graft the equipment that players have mastered based on existing equipment."
To be continued...
