Chapter 103. An Important Factor That Hinders Growth
"Look at how happy you are."
Rosswealth pouted and picked up another piece of paper for him.
"What is this?"
Char took a look and frowned.
How should he put it? He could recognize every word on it, but once they were put together... This was basically a heavenly book! There were all kinds of codes, garbled codes, and picture structures...
There's also "xxx"!
This was really the usual bad taste of the machinery civilization. Was it possible that it had to be decrypted?
Eh?
Wait... Decryption?
Char suddenly had an idea, and he scanned the picture and sent it to Rylai.
A few seconds later, The Prodigy girl replied with a frightened expression.
[(?д?≡?д?)]
[Help me deal with it! I know you can do it! ]
[Alright!]
Rylai didn't ask why and went to work.
Char had just finished his operation when he turned around and saw Rosswealth looking at him calmly.
Her gaze made Char's heart skip a beat.
"What are you looking at me for?" He asked in embarrassment.
Damn, he didn't even have the confidence to speak.
"You said that everyone was in a deep sleep in the past, and you were the only one awake... So, this is considered the restart of the world, right?"
Char did not know why she asked that, but he could feel her killing intent!
"It's... Something like that." He bit the bullet and answered.
"You also said that a large number of "players" like you have entered, so you are of the same kind, right? "
That uneasiness was getting closer and closer!
Char nodded again.
"There's someone of the opposite sex among them, right?"
Clang clang clang!
Char seemed to have heard an old man with the surname Wang ring a bell!
Rose continued, "So, to them, are you considered a "pioneer"? I think so, right? You know the world like the back of your hand, the information you have is enough to fascinate all explorers, and you can easily show your powerful, mysterious, and controlling side... I'm guessing that Char would be very attractive to the female "players", right?"
Char could not help but shiver!
A great crisis!
He had never underestimated Rosswealth's intelligence, but he didn't expect her to come to this conclusion from his small action!
However, this was not the end!
"You said that the "personal system" is like a prototype. Does this mean that there is a more advanced and more complete "large-scale system" among you players? Then, were you in a daze earlier because you were communicating with a player of the opposite sex? Did I guess wrong, honey?"
Rosswealth had already pressed herself against Char when she said that, her eyes flashing with a dangerous smile.
After the initial shock, Char gradually calmed down.
At this time, he could not refute or quibble.
He smiled bitterly and said, "You're right. I've been trying my best to avoid this from the beginning. For one, I'm not sure if I'm the same as them because I'm more like a "native". Secondly, I'm also worried that it will arouse their suspicion... However, I can't completely avoid this matter."
He could only admit it!
He smiled bitterly and said, "You're right. I've been trying my best to avoid this from the beginning. For one, I'm not sure if I'm the same as them because I'm more like a "native". Secondly, I'm also worried that it will arouse their suspicion... However, I can't completely avoid this matter. That is more than 100000 "outsiders", more than 100000 players, and more than 100000 catastrophes that could continue to grow without any concerns, principles, or bottom lines. If you're not careful, you'll become a terrifying weapon in the hands of others..."
"Like now?"
"Yes, like now. I can only influence a small portion of them. Although they are relatively elite, it is only a small portion... In this game, a game to them, the number of people was the most important factor. The world now may belong to you and us, but the future will definitely belong to the players."
At this point, Char suddenly changed the topic. "By the way, how did you know that I was talking to someone of the opposite sex? "
"Don't try to change the topic." Rosswealth showed a sweet smile and came up to hold his face. "Because you don't smile so warmly when you're talking to a man. I've seen this too many times."
He fell silent
F*ck, so this was what happened ...
"Rosswealth, I..."
"Alright, I got it."
Rosswealth kissed him gently on the forehead, then looked at the next loot as if nothing had happened.
"Take a look at this."
"Alright."
Char quickly got into his zone, as if nothing had happened.
However, both of them knew that she had something on Char again.
After all, he didn't have enough confidence.
He recognized the third item, it was the "heart of the city" from Ravesland.
It sounded awesome, but it was actually really awesome. All cities with large enchantment barriers had the magic-related infrastructure, and all large cities had something like a hub to manage the overall situation. Even if it could not "manage", it could be a core tool for measuring parameters.
Binding it was equivalent to mastering all the parameters of the city. To a certain extent, it was the same as the panel and authority he had when he owned the shares of the "Reeves processing plant" in Astan city.
Char immediately bound it and opened the control panel.
[Bound city: Ravesland]
[Current Consul: Char]
[City size: Revelation (v-rank)]
[City Construction: 34/1000]
[City prosperity: 0]
[City stability: 0]
[Main barrier's integrity: 47.1%, 12 cracks.]
[Population: 0/100000]
[Basic building status list: (click to view)]
..
"There are really a hundred things to do..." Char sighed.
After players obtained a certain status, they could control towns, villages, small settlements, etc. Guild bases were the same. It was basically the same as playing an RPG game into an SLG (business simulation) game.
The levels of large cities were divided into five levels, from Nova to Revelation. If one focused on the reputation of the Judgement Church, then after the first kill of Zin'rokh, one would be able to become Mephisto's Consul. At that time, one would realize that the Holy City was only a level 4, which was Izutar, with a population limit of no more than 500000.
Compared to Ravesland, it was like a little brother!
It was a pity that Ravesland was now an empty shell. What the hell was with this 3.4% city construction progress? The prosperity and stability levels were directly pulled to zero. It's basically a ghost domain!
Char clicked on the list of infrastructure and found that all the buildings he knew were broken, and even those he didn't know were broken. More than 90% of the buildings [needed to be rebuilt], and half of the remaining 10% were [to be repaired]. Only one part of the fourth district seemed to be in good condition.
However, the fourth part area was like a plantation. The Cypress leaves and the otogi wood took up most of the area, so it was useless even if they were intact.
"Spirit breath... It really makes one both loves and hates it."
Char couldn't help but sigh.
The explosion from the inside had almost destroyed the entire city, and the solidified spirit breath had completely eroded the inside of the city over the years. When the Turing tower that extended out of the city collapsed first, the inside of Ravesland was shattered with a single knock, leaving almost nothing behind.
However, from this fission, a new life was born, the Ji Kai race.
They were like phoenixes that had been reborn, perfectly demonstrating the right time, place, and people.
It was true that Fitzrock was a true genius, but his creation was also inseparable from the gods. There was no doubt that the reason he was able to create these 2254 androids, which were completely different from the previous androids, was also because he had added spirit breath.
If Fitzrock was given enough time, he would probably be able to study the Spirit breath thoroughly. After all, it was still energy, and the research of the machinery civilization on energy had long reached an outrageous level.
Unfortunately, time was fair to everyone.
As Char was sighing, Rylai sent him the results of the deciphering of the paper.
[This is an encryption method I've never seen before, but it's similar to the idea that Char sent me. Although I was unable to decipher it, I roughly understood its attributes ... It seems to be an invoice!]
Eh?
Char jolted when he heard the word.
[An invoice? Then who was the recipient? You should be able to find the approximate location of the sender's signature, right?]
He had heard this term from Kuris, he had mentioned Blue moon's invoice!
Could there be a connection between the two receipts?
[Rylai, if you put the name of the item "shared light source (ultimate)" in, the individual nouns will correspond to "anti-counterfeit symbol" and "item code". In addition! there are three layers of authentication codes. With this information, you might be able to crack the code!]
He disclosed all the information he had gotten from Kuris.
This time, Rylai replied almost instantly.
[It matched! Char, you're right!]
Char's heart was beating faster!
The mysterious person whom Fitzrock had asked him to find was most likely the recipient, and this guy was most likely the original administrator of the "Holy Grail", who later deceived Mungo and was suspected to be the village chief!
If he could find the truth in one go...
He picked up the "invoice" nervously, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by "xxx"...
F*ck you, don't tell me...
[It's a pity that the recipient is a garbled code!]
Buzzzzzz!
Char looked up and sighed.
This was very infuriating.
He really wanted to bring Fitzrock back to life and give him a good scolding!
I'm so angry. But he still had to smile.
[It's nothing. Thank you, little Rylai!]
[Oh, it's fine. Oh, right, where have you been recently, Char? Guoguo said that if you die, you should let out a squeak so that she won't overthink it.]
[Hahaha, I'm still the same. Tell her that I'm the sand between her fingers and I can't hold it, so might as well throw it.]
After a few seconds, he received a voice message from Rylai.
Since he had blocked the Pulu sect, it was very likely that it was that guy...
The smart Char chose to convert it into words.
[Stinky fool! If you don't come back, I'll scatter your ashes!]
"Ha..."
Char could not help but laugh.
This guy was still so active, what an interesting...
"Cough cough... It's nothing, I know what this is."
Char immediately sat up straight when he saw the subtle look in Rosswealth's eyes.
He mumbled a bunch of things about the contents of the invoice and then brushed it off lightly.
"Next item, next item!"
"Hmph, take it yourself,"
Rosswealth snorted and sized up the crystal shards scattered on the ground.
She was also very interested in these shiny things.
Char could only take the remaining two items and examine them.
One of them was a regular reward, which was the "mysterious wrench (class item)" that was dropped in every mechanical civilization's ruins.
As its name suggested, it could allow players to activate the mechanic class, which was a consumable item.
However, because of the "heart of the city", Char could combine the wrench with the "mechanic registration hall (to be rebuilt)", and then let the players do their jobs.
It was great!
The last one was something he had never expected...
It was a crystal with dozens of facets.
There was a mist in the crystal, and there were silver threads swimming in the mist, full of hazy beauty.
Char had never seen such a device before, but when he held it in his hand, he was shocked.
"What?!"
-
[Personality separator ver1.0]
Soul item, limited edition
It is only for dual-human figures. There are no side effects, but please provide your own body.
I recommend the type VI Android produced by Fitzrock! This was definitely not an opportunity to advertise!
"Since it's a split personality, why don't you have a few more? That's why I abandoned this thing that can only separate the two personalities-Fitzrock "
-
"What's wrong?" Rosswealth asked in confusion.
Char grabbed her hand and passed the item to her.
"You... You can see it, right?"
As expected, Rosswealth, who had her personal system, also saw the introduction. She suddenly fell into a long silence.
She then looked up at Char.
"You also think that I'm a sub-personality and that I've been bothering Ellie all this time, that I need to 'leave' her body, right?"
Char had already guessed that she would ask this, so he shook his head decisively.
"Then why not her?"
"You're testing me again, right? This is really a question of life and death..." Char smiled and pulled Rosswealth to sit on his lap, then put his arm around her waist. "In my opinion, you don't have a master and a servant. You're just a Twin Lotus growing on a stem... But the second half of your sentence is right. You are indeed troubling her and you need to 'leave'. "
"Why?"
"Didn't you realize that your chest has become bigger the moment you're in charge? The Valkyrie who is still in puberty is the model of a young girl in both hand feel and shape. I, Char, can guarantee this with my character! It's only when you're in her body that there's a slight disharmony... The reason was simple. It was the erosion of mana! In the long run, it'll definitely be harmful to Ellie, who's still in her puberty and holding the holy sword. She might even lose control of her hormones and stop growing. By then, you won't be able to make up for it even with mana! Did you forget that it's only a week before you go against the wall?"
"Shut up!" Rose said shyly.
"You've been dissatisfied with this body for a long time, right?"
Char continued to press on.
"I found a lot of rough bases related to type-vi androids in Kuris' workshop. The Court of the Holy Tree has enough spirit breath to nourish it, and there are a lot of materials to choose from in the exchange list of "Holy Grail". You can rest assured about this, the quality is absolutely guaranteed! I'll personally go on stage and make myself a wife!"
Rosswealth was amused by his tone and punched him.
"You're the only one who can talk!"
"Hehehe..."
Char laughed naively and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
The next step was to find a way to wake Ortlinde up and figure out what the sword was about.
