I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

Zhou Changqing has been very troubled recently.

A week has passed since the crusade against the Iron Lizard.

The arrival of the third batch of test players only excited him for a moment.

For a longer period of time, Zhou Changqing had to face complicated magic.

As a member of the core team, he has recently been studying the structure of the Leyline in Jost's laboratory.

In the past, Zhou Changqing always felt that as a senior engineer, if he could travel back in time to ancient times, he would probably be able to farm and develop many technologies that transcend the times.

But now he finally understands that he is not an all-rounder after all, he only knows what he masters, and if he wants to advance in science and technology in ancient times, even if he has modern knowledge, he still has to cheat.

Without qualified smelting technology, it is impossible to produce parts that can withstand stress. Without mining technology, even ore cannot be found. There are also various petroleum-related chemical materials, various tools and equipment, all of which are indispensable.

The transition from agricultural civilization to modern times cannot be accomplished overnight.

Therefore, even if he masters advanced communication theory, he still has to learn a little bit about magic and understand the characteristics of magic before he can play a role in the design of the magic network.

At this time, learning ability is the most critical.

For example, now, Jost has basically understood and mastered modern communication technology. Although he lacks practical skills, in theory he is definitely not inferior to master's students in related majors, but Zhou Changqing is still at the level of a magic junior high school student.

"Originally I thought magic was very simple, but now it seems that magic is much more complicated and troublesome."

Zhou Changqing sighed with emotion, raised his head from the book and looked out the window.

Thanks to Iron Lizard's steel supply, the foundation of the fortress has begun to be built in the newly reclaimed black forest outside Rimu Town. Looking at those concrete structures, Zhou Changqing suddenly felt like reality was shining into the illusion.

"Actually, according to the records and speculations of some ancients, the magic used now has been modified."

Jost said without looking up.

"Is the original one more complicated?"

Another player couldn't help but ask.

"No, it was originally simpler. It is simpler than it is now. What we call modern magic has been classified into different categories. At the same time, the magicians have stipulated that magic requires rituals and incantations before it can be used, which has raised the entry threshold for magicians. "

Jost replied.

Zhou Changqing originally thought that this was not unnecessary, but he carefully recalled the concept of magic. If magic is a kind of pollution that can harm the human body, then raising the entry threshold is indeed quite reasonable and is a kind of protection for the world.

"In my world, there was a time when the church, or the higher-ups, controlled knowledge and prevented ordinary people from learning it. But later, the knowledge monopoly was broken, and ordinary people could learn that knowledge."

Zhou Changqing sighed.

He was glad that he lived in a comfortable and peaceful era. If he had been in a war-torn era, or a darker and more ignorant time, his life would have been millions of times more miserable.

"In your world, knowledge doesn't seem to cause pollution. It's great."

Jost said slightly enviously.

"Then I don't know, haha, maybe we have already been contaminated."

Zhou Changqing joked.

At this time, Drizzt pushed open the door and walked in. In his hand was a crystal clear crystal, which reflected the sun's rays and projected colorful colors.

"This is what you want, the condensed core of the Iron Lizard."

Drizzt put the crystal on the table, and Jost quickly picked it up and looked at it carefully.

"what is this?"

Zhou Changqing asked.

"Most of the monsters in the Black Forest have extraordinary powers. Some of the powerful creatures will produce pollution deposits. This is their core. Even though these cores are beautiful, the pollution contained in them is far worse than their flesh and blood. many."

Jost looked at the thing and explained.

"Contamination of flesh and blood"

Zhou Changqing thought for a moment, and he seemed to have eaten a lot of iron lizard meat. After they pried off the iron lizard's ore shell, they brought most of the meat back as a snack. They had finally lived a good life recently. A day to eat meat and drink soup.

He didn't even consider that there was still contamination in the flesh of these monsters.

But he didn't really come to this world. He was just playing games. Pollution and other things were just settings. Zhou Changqing wasn't worried at all.

You can't think that the settings in this game can affect you in reality, right?

While Zhou Changqing was thinking, Drizzt was flipping through those magic books. Although he, as the Chosen One, could not sign the contract of the Magic Network and gain the favor of the gods of the Kingdom of Darkness, he could already use [Alienation] and [Sublimation] in his body. For a person walking in the difficulty level, the pollution he has endured has long exceeded what is contained in these magics, and there is no problem in browsing casually.

Of course, most of the spells are of little use to Drizzt. In terms of attack power, his [Fake Sun Flame] is comparable to the strongest offensive spell in the Kingdom of Darkness, while the other spells are of little use to Drizzt. It won't be needed for a while.

But it’s always good to take a closer look. Since it has no impact on his own sanity, Drizzt is also willing to learn more, so as not to be at a loss when encountering similar weird situations in other foreign lands in the future.

"about there."

Zhou Changqing studied for a while, until the game prompted that the power was about to run out, and then he was still not satisfied and prepared to go offline to rest.

He returned to the players' residence, which was built during this period for players to log off, so that everyone would not appear in strange places when they went online together.

Taking off his helmet, Zhou Changqing let out a long sigh of relief.

At first, he came to try out the second test of the new game. After being selected, his employer gave him support. But now, after such a long time, Zhou Changqing suddenly couldn't tell the difference between reality and fantasy.

Now, except for sleeping time, when he is awake, he spends much more time in the Kingdom of Darkness. When virtual reality like [Cage] takes up most of his life, Zhou Changqing feels more and more like he is living in the Kingdom of Darkness. The kingdom of night, but reality is false.

Jost and other NPCs were just like real people, with their own thoughts. When communicating with them, Zhou Changqing didn't feel like he was playing a game at all.

Of course, after realizing this, he will stay in reality for a little longer and brush up on communication-related knowledge.

After charging the helmet, Zhou Changqing went to wash his face. It was time to eat. He was going to go downstairs for a walk and eat some hot food.

Looking in the mirror, Zhou Changqing looked at himself.

Normally, if he is addicted to playing games every day and does not exercise, he should be very haggard. But surprisingly, Zhou Changqing appears to be very healthy, as if the exercise and labor in the games are really reflected in his body. It's like it's on your own body.

Suddenly, Zhou Changqing saw himself in the mirror, with the corners of his mouth raised into a smile.

And he didn't smile at all.
