Chapter 386
But at noon, Zhao Xu was already riding his electric bike around the city that he had grown up in.
From elementary school, middle school, and high school, Zhao Xu walked past each and every school gate. He looked at the gates that were similar to what he remembered, but they were also different at the same time, and he started to reminisce about the past.
Every winter and summer vacation, when he returned to his hometown, he would come to these places for a walk. It was just that it happened to be winter and summer vacation, so he did not meet the former teachers.
This time, he had a different feeling as he looked at it. After half a year, these buildings would forever stay in his memory.
He also noticed that some of the office buildings had huge posters of the game Arthur pasted on them, each with a different image.
When he saw one of the paintings, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but be stunned.
A valiant Paladin in heavy armor was waving a long sword and looking straight ahead.
The Paladin looked like Vivian.
The Mithril acceleration armor and the Holy Avenger’s long sword emitted a destructive light.
Logically speaking, the butterfly effect he brought about would only affect the development of Arthur. It would never affect the operations of the entire game on earth.
It was just that he would have a headache. In the future, when players saw Vivian, they would definitely exclaim because she was already considered the spokesperson of the game.
Zhao Xu made a mental note of this, but he didn’t stop walking. He walked straight into an anime city along the pedestrian street.
When Zhao Xu was a child, there had been quite a number of shops selling console games and figurines. However, as online channels developed and prices became more transparent, these physical shops gradually became difficult to maintain.
The anime city that Zhao Xu had come to this time could be said to be one of the few remaining ones.
The entrance of the shop was filled with big and small packages and Taobao Express packages that were ready to be delivered. Customers could only walk on the narrow road.
At this moment, Zhao Xu walked into the video game store that he had been to before. This was where he had bought his VR helmet.
When brother light, who was sorting out the goods, saw him, he immediately spoke in local dialect,”Ah, Xu, it’s winter vacation. Why did you only appear when it’s almost the new year? the good stuff I specially left for you can’t be kept anymore.”
by the way, do you want to play this game ‘Arthur’? it’s been very popular recently.
As he spoke, he handed a sealed game disc to Zhao Xu. On the cover were the pictures of the 11 major job-holders in Arthur, and they were all dressed in various adventurer outfits.
In fact, this kind of game disk only had an activation card inside, which was an exquisite booklet with a simple introduction of the job, attributes, and specialties.
After this layer of packaging, it became a Collector’s Edition, and the price of the luxury version soared from 599 to 799.
When he saw this, Zhao Xu suddenly felt like the flow of history had diverged into many paths, but in the end, it all returned to the same path.
In his previous life, during the winter break before the new year, when he passed by Guang bro’s shop, he had said the same thing to him.
However, he rejected it with a smile, saying that he was too busy to play games.
Just like that, he had missed out on four months of precious time.
“Guang bro, did you play?” Zhao Xu asked softly.
I do. I’m online on time every day when I close the shop. Sigh, I have too few specialties. I want everything, but I don’t have enough of them.
As he spoke, brother Guang seemed to be very interested. looks like you’re having fun too. Little Xu, let me tell you, you have to be careful with this specialty. Now, my Elf Archer Ranger is even planning to delete his account and start all over again. I just can’t bear to let go of my 32 talent points to start.”
As he said this, brother light couldn’t help but look smug. He believed that Zhao Xu, who was also playing this game, would be able to understand what was going on.
One activation code could only be used to register an account with 28 high talent points once, 22 high talent points three times, and countless low talent points accounts with 15 low talent points.
And only on the first day of the game was there an extra 4 talent points.
This was the most direct reward that the gods of Arthur gave to the lucky players.
The fact that brother light had been able to start the game with 32 points meant that he had yet to use up all five Lifestones. In fact, he had never regretted switching classes.
Zhao Xu was just about to reveal some inside information to brother Guang when he suddenly saw the elevator in animation city slowly closing.
There was a girl who was facing him from the side. She was wearing a robe that looked like a floating city, and she also had a high-collared hooded cloak on the outside. In her hand was a ” high-level Super Magic instantaneous scepter ” that looked similar to the one that Zhao Xu was holding.
The man only disappeared from Zhao Xu’s sight after the elevator door closed completely.
For a moment, Zhao Xu found this feeling of time and space being reversed a little ridiculous, and he couldn’t believe it.
He glanced at the elevator’s downward arrow, then at the ” 3F ” sign on this floor, and immediately rushed to the ” escape stairs ” on the other side.
There were a total of 48 steps from the third floor to the first floor.
Zhao Xu had personally witnessed how many seconds he needed to finish running today. He even grabbed onto the railing and made sharp turns at the corner of the stairs as if he was drifting.
In the end, when he ran out of the stairs, he saw that the woman who was wearing wizard Arthur’s robe and was about the same height and build as Antonya was slowly walking out of the door.
Zhao Xu quickly ran over and shouted, ” “Hey, wait.”
The girl turned around in surprise, but her face was plain under the hood.
“I’m sorry, I got the wrong person.” Zhao Xu immediately apologized.
“You’ve never seen a cosplay before?” The girl thought that he was trying to hit on her, so she rolled her eyes at Zhao Xu and continued to walk out.
Zhao Xu couldn’t help but slap his head in frustration.
He had been staying in the University for the past few months and did not go to any comic exhibitions, so he did not react for a while.
Or rather, he didn’t realize that Arthur was already showing signs of leaving the safe zone.
Usually, he would be pushed around on the forum, and he would only browse the technical sections. He rarely saw the reality shows of players, so he naturally didn’t notice the content in this area.
Or rather, ever since the last time when all the players had mysteriously been disconnected for a long time, Zhao Xu had been feeling a little paranoid. He felt that the interaction between the two worlds was much deeper than in his previous life.
After this incident, Zhao Xu wasn’t in the mood to continue shopping.
He looked at the time on his watch. It wasn’t long before the time Xiao Wei asked him to meet. He directly rode a shared bicycle on the roadside and went to the KTV not far away.
Just as he disappeared around the corner ...
Two people slowly walked out of the original animation city.
They were also dressed in wine-red robes with gold embellishments, and their cloaks emitted the colors of Starlight.
However, the two of them seemed to exude a mysterious magic that made the people around them turn a blind eye to them.
the world on earth is really amazing. I can actually project myself to Arthur through a small box and a game account.
A dignified woman who looked completely mature and charming was looking at the VR helmet and Arthur’s game disk in her hands with great interest.
Wuyue, stop fooling around. Why did you use a suggestion spell to get this thing? ” The young woman at the side looked helplessly at her friend who was good at causing trouble.
“Hey, hey, little Noya, don’t be angry.” Wuyue could not help but cover her mouth and laugh.
However, at this moment, her entire body was exuding an astonishing charm that no one could understand. Even if she did not have any special abilities, just her smile alone was enough to stir people’s hearts.
The scorching midday sun shone on them, but it seemed to be slightly twisted, as if it was being pulled by a mysterious force.
“Strange, I thought I would meet him here.” Antonya thought back to the ” prophecy ” spell that she had cast with her legendary spell and tried to figure out where the sequence of fate had gone wrong.
“Can’t you do that?” Wuyue sneered. Speaking of which, does this mean that the end of this world is going to be brought forward? ”
As she spoke, Wuyue looked at Antonya in front of her with a scrutinizing expression.
“Probably,”
“Something went wrong?”
Wuyue sneered. From the start, she did not support the idea of players logging in a year earlier.
“Yes.” Antonya nodded.
“Due to the resonance of the transmission channel last time, I’m afraid the energy channel constructed by the gods will not last for a year.”
At this moment, the two of them were conversing on this piece of land. They didn’t care at all that what they were saying would be leaked.
The two of them were surrounded by a mysterious energy that kept spinning around them.
so, the plan to destroy the earth with meteorites has to be brought forward? ” Wuyue coldly evaluated the gods ‘plan.
“It’s the ‘human rebirth on earth’ plan.” Antonya corrected him indifferently.
“Hmph,” he snorted.
Wuyue crossed her arms and looked at everything indifferently.
“Is that why I sent you here to investigate the situation? Or perhaps, the huge posters that I see on these so-called tall buildings are also your means to speed up the progress of the players?”
Antonya nodded gently. yeah.
“Wouldn’t he be shocked by that time?” Wuyue could not help but chuckle, as if it was a pleasure to see him surprised.
“If you’ve really decided, I’ll let him know the next time we meet.” Antonya said.
This was what it should be.
“How much time do you have left before you guys start to plan again?”
This plan had always been carried out by the gods through the wizard Association and many churches. Wuyue had not participated in it because she had opposed it at the beginning.
She just quietly laid out her own means, waiting for the real change to come.
Countless forces who knew about this matter but did not have enough bargaining chips to participate were also waiting quietly.
They were running the business of selecting suitable players, waiting for the day when seven billion people would arrive.
“About four months left,”
Antonya said. Her gaze had already crossed the asphalt road in front of her and was now looking at the blue sky.
There, meteorites were about to cut through the sky.
