Chapter 289 Absence
Chapter 289 Absent
At 9:30 pm on December 31, the fifth year of the Tianxia Li calendar, the imperial palace of "Tianxia City".
Mr. Chen, wearing a dragon robe, frowned after listening to the report of the lord of "Pangu City", and said, "Forget it, since that's the case, let that 'Kongkong'er' help 'Moshui' receive that medal."
Mr. Chen knew where Moshui was. A few months ago, he had checked my situation through technicians, but it was just a query. In addition to the live NPCs arranged earlier, the only ones that the game companies can control the game are the largest organizations in the two games, "Tianxia Dynasty" and "Xiongba Dynasty".
So, although he knew about the situation of Ink, he had no choice. Who made the real system NPC suddenly have a situation? So the absence of Ink at the "New Year Celebration" for the fifth anniversary of the game has become an inevitable thing. The absence of Ink is a big or small impact. If the city lord of "Pangu City" said that Ink and Kongkong'er had found a relatively safe solution, he would have really hurt his brains.
Since the facts cannot be changed, we can only face it calmly. After a period of preparation, Mr. Chen, wearing a dragon robe, and a group of officials of all sizes took a carriage and headed towards the "Tianxia Martial Arts City" as the venue.
The emperor's majesty was definitely a grand scale. At least about 5,000 people, the guards of honor, guards and other guards surrounded the emperor's luxury carriage. The bright golden dragon flag, shining armor and neat sound of horse hooves attracted countless players to watch, and it really had the momentum of the emperor in ancient times.
In reality, I watched the live broadcast on TV and said in my heart. In the game, because I was trapped in the barrier, I couldn’t see anything outside. In addition, I had free time, so I watched the live broadcast of CCTV game channel at home with Zhang Lan and Liu Jia.
The first scene was the scene of the emperor entering the "World Martial Arts Fighting City". The next scene changed and the audience came into our sight. Hundreds of thousands of live audiences sat in the largest martial arts arena, waiting for the beginning of the "New Year Celebration".
Chen Feixia is still the female host, but this time there is a male host. She looks not very handsome, but as soon as he spoke, I knew that the game company had this person as a host was definitely a wise choice.
Not to mention the humor between his words, nor to talk about the natural and smooth style, the right smile on his face has already raised my evaluation of him to a very high level.
"This man is not simple!" I sighed at the male host who was standing with Chen Feixia and talking.
Zhang Lan on the side looked at me with a strange look, while Liu Jia widened her eyes and looked incredible, as if I had said something important wrong.
"Uh, that, did I say something wrong? I feel that this host is really good, and the person in charge of the game company really has vision." I looked puzzled.
But as soon as I finished speaking, the expressions on the two of them became even more strange. Liu Jia was fine, but looking at her red face, I knew she was very bitter. As for Zhang Lan, she just held her stomach and giggled, leaned against me, and felt Zhang Lan laughing trembling through her body contact. This, the trembling of flowers describes this situation?
After a while, Liu Jiacai, who gradually returned to normal, slowly spoke in my expectant eyes: "Moshui, to be honest, how many days have you not read the news? Well, I mean TV news, such as CCTV's 'News Broadcast'."
I read news every day, but it is just the type of newspapers. I don’t have that much time to watch the “news broadcast”. It’s still true that newspapers are, I can choose the type I like to read and automatically ignore the things that are not important to me.
But why did Liu Jia ask this? What did I say before have to do with the "News Broadcast"? I looked at Liu Jia in confusion, looked at the TV screen, and then thought about the "News Broadcast", and a possibility flashed in my mind.
"Liu Jia, you are not saying that this guy is the host of CCTV's 'News Broadcast', right?" I looked surprised.
"I've answered correctly, but there is no reward." Liu Jia was very satisfied with my quick reaction and gave me a sweet smile.
But I was still very surprised. Why was the host of the "News Broadcast" invited to the game? Does this guy ignore his job? Besides, will his boss agree to him as the host of the fifth anniversary of "The World of Domination" this time?
This time, Zhang Lan, who had laughed enough, solved my doubts. A month ago, the game company had already negotiated with many media about the right to broadcast the TV, and finally chose CCTV. As one of the conditions, it was to require this "famous" news host named Bai Hongxi to be one of the hosts of the "New Year Celebration" of this "Oriental Continent".
Bai Hongxi? Still famous? No wonder the two of them looked so strange. I have heard of the name Bai Hongxi, but I have never seen his appearance. Therefore, when I saw this person, of course I didn’t know that this guy was one of the most famous TV hosts in the past two years, even though he was only twenty-eight years old.
After a small episode, we continued to appreciate the live event of the "New Year Celebration". This time, the "New Year Celebration" was very popular because of the two important rankings, "The World's Storm List" and "The Legend of the Celebrity List". However, my attention was not on these. All I paid attention to was the guys who followed me to get some bargains, wanting to see if I knew these people.
But after seeing those faces, I was disappointed because they did not occupy a little bit of their place in the gully of my memory. When did I have such enemies? I asked myself silently in my heart.
I played back my experience in the game one by one in my heart. From the first Taoist priest to the last "King Arthur", I couldn't find the shadow of these people. However, the information obtained by "Kongkong'er" really said that these people claimed to be my enemy. What's going on?
"What's wrong, you?" Liu Jia, who was on the side, asked with concern when she saw me falling into deep thought. Zhang Lan, who was attracted by the exciting plot on TV, also turned around and looked concerned.
"It's nothing, I just can't remember why I have a grudge against the guys above." I pointed to the people who looked proud on the rostrum.
The two hurriedly asked why. I told them all about what I knew and finally said, "It should be nothing wrong with them being my enemies, because they admitted it themselves in their words."
"Then have you ever encountered those enemies who have hidden their heads and tails?" Liu Jia guessed: "For example, those assassin or thief type?"
Assassins and thieves, I have never thought about it, but I have no impression of it. I usually use "scouting techniques" to interpret the other party's information. But this is indeed the first time these people have encountered it.
However, Liu Jia's reminder reminded me of a plot, that is, our "Iron Blood Sect" accepted the gang task and besieged a thief group. At that time, a traitor who defected to the "White Tiger Hall" made our "Iron Blood Sect" elite troops almost lost in the valley.
During this period, I was assassinated by several assassins. Afterwards, I only thought they were from the "White Tiger Hall", but what if they were not? I remember that I was facing four assassins at the beginning, and this number coincided with these four people. There is a high possibility that they were the assassins who assassinated me before.
The only puzzling thing is that except for one of the four people in front of me, they were not the other three. Did they deliberately wear an assassin outfit to confuse my sight? I can't figure it out. But what I can be sure is that these faces will be firmly reflected in my mind. As long as I can come out of the barrier, these guys will suffer.
The time for awarding the "Storm and Cloud" medal and the "Celebrity" medal has finally come. It started from the last place. I can clearly see the proud look of the "Xingsuzi", and also the joyful look of the next "Bao Gun".
When "Xiaoyaozi" also won the medal, Chen Feixia announced the name of the first winner of the "World Wind and Cloud List" - Moshui. The tide of applause rang out, but it was not me who came out to receive the award, but the first deputy leader of the "Iron Blood Sect" who is also familiar to everyone.
Although Chen Feixia asked a question about why I couldn't appear in the venue, "Kongkonger", who is well versed in the way of being an official, said very temptingly: "Please forgive me for keeping this confidentiality for the time being. I will announce the true situation after receiving the 'Celebrity' medal for Moshui. What I can tell you now is that Moshui has arrived in a magical place and is reluctant to come back for the time being."
After saying this, "Congkong'er" bowed slightly to the surroundings and retreated behind the scenes. As soon as this sentence came out, the whole venue became noisy, and everyone was guessing what magical place I went to, and "can't bear to" come out to participate in the most important festival since the game began. People's curiosity was fully mobilized. As the first person began to shout to the two hosts, the audience all agreed. After all, in this information age, almost everyone knew the winner of the "Celebrity" medal, so this curiosity fell to the lowest point.
Now everyone is just curious about the mysterious place that can make me linger. As long as normal players know that I discovered the existence of the "Wilderness World". As long as players who have entered the "Wilderness World" are attracted by the environment and monsters that are very different from the "Oriental Continent", not to mention the countless gangs and individuals who have gained some benefits from the "Wilderness World".
Seeing the audience's wishes, Bai Hongxi and Chen Feixia were helpless and immediately announced the official start of the award ceremony of the "Celebrity" medal, and from the previous form of receiving awards one after another, it directly turned into the collective awards on the stage. This was also considered the behavior of Bai Hongxi in helplessness.
Seeing the slightly helpless expression on Bai Hongxi's face, I laughed in my heart. Hehe, who told me to be laughed at by Zhang Lan and the others before? Isn't this retribution?
"Mo Shui, your expression is very sinister." Zhang Lan next to her put her mouth in my ear and whispered. Although she was silent, because the three of them were approaching each other, Liu Jia also heard this and looked at me with a puzzled look.
I quickly restrained my expression and said, "What a sinister thing? I just saw this scene a little funny. The kid 'Kongkong' is really capable, and that one sentence destroyed the entire festival atmosphere. I guess our Emperor will settle the score with this guy afterwards."
"If you want to settle the accounts, it is up to you. Didn't you let 'Kongkong' say that?" Liu Jia looked at the person who went on stage to receive the award together and said with a funny look.
"Uh, I really haven't thought about this. No wonder 'Kongkong' had a weird expression before. His feelings regarded me as a scapegoat." I was so depressed that I was actually cheated by "Kongkong'er". Humph, he will be beautiful next time I meet.
While cursing "Kongkong'er" in my heart, I still bet on the screen and watched "Kongkong'er"'s exaggerated performance.
"Kongkonger" who took two (one of his own) "Celebrity" medals from Bai Hongxi, took the dragon-shaped microphone handed over by Chen Feixia and said, "Everyone knows that there are countless myths and legends in China. Most of these myths and legends will mention a place (after a pause, and after everyone starts to clamor, they will press down on everyone's noise), that is "Kunlun" - Kunlun Fairyland!"
As expected, all the players who heard this place exclaimed. As "Kongkong'er" said, "Kunlun Fairyland" is very famous in myths. For example, the Queen Mother is the master of Xi Kunlun and the most powerful god. It is said that they are people of the same era as Fuxi and Nuwa.
In some myths and legends, "Kunlun" is the only channel to the heavenly court; and some legends directly list Kunlun as the place of the immortal world and divide Kunlun into thirty-third heavens, which is somewhat similar to the "Kunlun Fairyland" I have discovered now.
What does the discovery of "Kunlun Fairyland" mean? It means that perhaps the concept of "immortality" is about to enter the game world, and it also means that players' future achievements can reach the realm of "immortality". How can this situation not make people happy?
After a brief silence, all the players on the scene cheered. The cheers shook the world. Afterwards, some people said that even in the most remote corner of "Tianxia City" from "Wu Dou City", those calls could be heard. As the cheers rang out, this "New Year Celebration Meeting" came to an end.
Afterwards, "Kongkong'er" announced the fact that the legendary "Kunlun Fairyland" was in "Pangu City", and claimed that if no one found the "Kunlun Fairyland" in three months, then he would issue an announcement in "Iron Blood Information" to tell everyone where the "Kunlun Fairyland" is located.
The fifth anniversary celebration since the beginning of the game was finally over. However, the fanatic atmosphere brought about by this "New Year Celebration" has not disappeared. From the moment the "New Year Celebration" ended, countless players went to our hometown "Pangu City" from other cities and even other continents. The entry tax alone reached an extremely terrifying number, which made our city lord laugh, repeatedly praised "Kongkonger" and me who could not meet at all, and decided to use one ten thousandth of the "enter city tax" as a bonus to reward me as a lucky star.
"Kongkong'er" politely shirked away a few times and agreed to it for me. Of course, I didn't know about these things at that time, because I was facing Mr. Chen's slightly smelly face at that time.
Undoubtedly, this "New Year Celebration" can be said to be very sensational, very sensational. However, this sensation is not for game companies. From the perspective of game companies, this "New Year Celebration" is a bit of a failure. After all, the goals that many game companies hope to achieve have not been achieved. At least, as the two most important rankings in the game now and even in the future, "The World's Wind and Cloud List" have completely lost their importance.
"The World's Wind and Cloud List" is fine, after all, it was based on the procedures, and the two hosts also controlled the atmosphere at the scene well. However, after "Kongkong'er" appeared, everything changed. "The Legend of the Celebrity List", which is also an important ranking, was almost placed in an optional position. How can this not make Mr. Chen, who was already a little worried about my inability to appear in the venue, be very angry.
If it weren't for the topic of "Kongkong'er" that it was the biggest attraction of the game, he would probably have gone crazy the moment he saw me.
"Moshui, let's forget it this time. But--" Mr. Chen shook his head and said, "Your method is good, but it is not a good thing to publish the 'Kunlun Wonderland' too early."
"You should know that most players are unable to adapt to the 'Kunlun Wonderland' at all. For them, the 'Kunlun Wonderland' is a dangerous place. What's more, from the perspective of our game company, exposing such a hidden place too early is not very beneficial to the development of the game itself."
I understand what Mr. Chen means. A stable and sustainable game world is the greatest hope of the game company. Announcing the "Kunlun Wonderland" has accelerated the progress of the game a bit, at least those masters who entered it will benefit a lot. Too many masters are not a good thing for a game. In fact, for a game company, it is enough to only need a representative master for a game.
"Mr. Chen, you don't have to worry about this. Although the first heaven of the 'Kunlun Fairyland' can be easily entered, it is very difficult to enter the second heaven. So at most it will only have a temporary effect, and it will not have any major impact in the long run." I was impressed by this point, otherwise I wouldn't have to be trapped in it with the strength of "Qiu Batian". Although I now suspect that this guy is taking this opportunity to use the barrier to improve his strength, just like when I upgraded my "five elements energy" from the barrier leading to the "Wilderness World".
"That's it." Mr. Chen, who knew this, recalled the "New Year Celebration" at the end of the draft, sighed helplessly: "Your choice is a coincidence. Fortunately, it has no big impact on the game itself, otherwise I will settle the score with you just for this celebration."
"Haha, Mr. Chen is a person who is very wise. How could I cause trouble for me in small things like this?" No matter what kind of flattery is useful to anyone, Mr. Chen cannot avoid being vulgar. After hearing my words, his face improved slightly and was no longer as bad as before. After reminding me again, he ended the call between the two.
Looking at the screen that finally recovered from a darkness, I breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, if the things "Kongkonger" had not been too hot before were too hot, I wouldn't have to be so passive when facing Mr. Chen. Damn "Kongkonger", I'll feel good when I come out of the "Kunlun Fairyland".
While thinking about this in my heart, I suddenly realized that it had already agreed on the time with "Qiu Batian". Today is the time for him to seek breakthroughs, hoping to gain something. With this idea, I entered the game world.
It turns out that my wish can only fail again. Unlike me who only created a bottleneck when I was just "the power of the sun" and "the power of Taihua", it was prominently reflected that the amount of both of them no longer increased. If it weren't for the large amount of "primitive energy" here for me to transform these two energy, I'm afraid I would have no possibility of improving energy at all.
"Qiu Batian" is completely different. He is not a bottleneck in skills, but a bottleneck in the whole process, between "spirit" and "illusion". Even if his energy quality can still be gradually improved in the abundant "primitive energy", this is not of any benefit to him breaking through the bottleneck. The little bit of this increase can be ignored for his own strength.
Once the bottleneck is broken, it is like going from a small river to a big river. What you will contact will be a broader space, and the space that can develop will be broader.
After experiencing the last time, the old senior "Qiu Batian" has become much more careful in seeking breakthroughs. Every exploration is just to make some attempts in small aspects, and there is no big achievement at all, let alone breaking through the bottleneck.
In my opinion, the attitude of "Qiu Batian" is a bit too cautious now. I asked him to make some bolder attempts several times. At that time, our "Qiu Batian" would say in a earnest tone: "Little Ink Doll, everything is gradual. Last time, it was because I was too anxious that I became obsessed with it. This is a lesson! What's more, I'm thinking about you. I, Qiu Batian, have lived for more than 500 years and even if I unfortunately die here, it's nothing. But you, a great young man, dies like this. I'm not! So it's better to be safe!"
People have already said this, what else can I say? So in the next time, I entered the game on time every day, and my work and rest time was more regular than before.
