Chapter 13: Difference and Chaos(1/2)
Too many problems seem to be related to "us".
Zhou Baiyu wanted to know what was going on in the world and what the version update was all about.
But Sister Lin is not someone who always answers questions:
"You have a lot of questions, but I'm sorry, knowledge has to be paid for."
"I must tell you that professions other than voyeurs who want to obtain information from middlemen need to pay a high advance value."
"By the way, the first test is called the pilot test."
"The first test will have double the advance value, and the higher the difficulty of the first test, the more advance value will be."
Sister Lin said with appreciation:
"You are very good. You have survived in a place where it is almost impossible to survive. It can even be said that you have set a record. Maybe there will be pioneers talking about you for a long time in the future."
"You are relatively rich now."
Zhou Baiyu was about to say how to check his advance value, then he remembered, and the word "attribute" flashed in his mind.
[Identity: Medicine boy.]
【Occupation: Alienator.】
[Status: Corruption value 0.55.]
[Evaluation: This is really incredible. Although the process is full of darkness and content that cannot be unlocked in the youth mode, you survived, so please enjoy the fruits of your victory. You have earned 430 advance points.
This is enough to get you a pretty good start next time you enter the advance world. Of course, you can also save it, but most of the misers end up dying before the money is spent.】
[Personal exclusive characteristics: "Sixth Sense Player", "Orator", "Unstable Growth", "Unknown Characteristics" (Unknown characteristics will be unlocked when the corruption value reaches 100.)]
Advance is worth 430 points.
Zhou Baiyu didn't know the purchasing power of this advance value.
Sister Lin knocked the bar table with her pipe and said:
"The goods on side A are the wine of memory and knowledge. The wine is divided into four levels: dark wine, clear wine, yellow wine, and red wine."
"Red wine has the highest value of information obtained, followed by yellow rice wine, and sake and turbid wine, which are probably not worth much, but they are cheap."
"If you drink it, you have a certain chance of erasing part of your memory, and you also have a certain chance of randomly acquiring some knowledge. The more expensive the wine, the higher the chance of obtaining important information."
"All the information on the wine cabinet on Side A is related to your career and world history. This information comes from intermediaries like us. So the charges are very expensive."
"Want something to drink? I'll make you a drink."
Like a profiteer, Sister Lin narrowed her eyes and started touching the cabinet behind her.
Zhou Baiyu was shocked.
This is really a profession full of randomness. He finally understood how unreliable his profession and the god behind it were.
Even buying information is full of randomness. You may learn something while drinking, or you may make a mistake after drinking.
After thinking about it, Zhou Baiyu shook his head and said:
"I don't drink. I want to know how to contact other forerunners?"
Sister Lin pointed to the second wine cabinet:
"Good question, this is the communication wall."
"You can see a lot of information here. It's like a forum. It's called the Pioneer Voice Forum."
"You can also send your message here, for example, you have cleared the 2.21 version of Succubus' Lair."
"If you release this news, it will definitely cause a sensation, but sensation is not necessarily a good thing. Of course... even if you don't say it, someone will say it for you."
Having said this, Sister Lin narrowed her eyes again and warned:
"Remember little brother, you can only tell the result in the first voice, and you can't reveal the detailed process."
"For example, you can tell everyone that you cleared the 2.21 version of Succubus' Lair. But you can't explain how you cleared it."
"Unless you pay a lot of advance value. You can't mention anything about 'us' in the original world, otherwise you will be obliterated."
The word "obliterate" shocked Zhou Baiyu.
He finally understood why he had never found any news about "the forerunners" and "us" on the Internet.
All that can be found are messages about those who failed the challenge and were forced to commit suicide.
After calming down, Zhou Baiyu briefly summarized:
"So, in the Voice of Advance, there are free messages and paid messages. The paid messages are often the details of clearing each version."
"And these details, whether published or read, require a large advance value?"
Sister Lin added some shredded tobacco to her pipe, and then started puffing away with a look of intoxication.
After a while, Sister Lin slowly nodded and said:
"Yes, smart little brother, please remember that advance value is very important. It can improve your abilities and exchange for some life-saving items for you. It can give you everything you want."
"In short, how to earn advance points and how to consume advance points is a science. Of course, I have only one responsibility..."
"Drain all your advance points."
Zhou Baiyu laughed in his heart, this woman really doesn't hide anything, she is so honest, I cried to death.
Zhou Baiyu said:
"I want to see free information."
"No problem, as long as you are at the transfer station, you can check it at any time."
Sister Lin hooked her fingers again, and Zhou Baiyu twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he already knew what was going to happen.
Sure enough, another puff of smoke hit his face. It looked quite provocative.
At this moment, Zhou Baiyu seemed to see a huge panel, and countless information made the whole world seem to be lively.
On the wine cabinet on side B, all the wine disappeared and turned into an electronic screen. This is the sound of the advance.
Free information posted by many people floated on the screen.
Smiling Demon: A first-level Spirit Summoner, I am about to go to the Bone Bridge in version 1.14. My identity is a chef. Can anyone help me? It’s cheaper, please help me! My advance value is only enough for the minimum payment standard.
, but I am very rich in the real world! I am very rich! I call 911! Save me!
Jue Juezi: Baofengyi recruits second-level masters, no alienators, no alienators, no alienators! Alienator Sima, damn you, you alienated my treasure into waste.
Breaking the Chicken: I have an advanced guide for version 1.26 of "The Evil Within" to ensure your survival! By the way, without my guide, you won't be able to survive even if you have experienced later versions. Nine o'clock
Advance value, go ahead and bargain! I will make a guide after gathering fifteen people!
Muscle Belt Lawyer: Baichuan Refuge, recruiting elites from all walks of life. We have successfully cleared the 1.2 version of "Advent Demon". Although it is only a C-level evaluation, we have pieced together a lot of version information! Join us, and the guild will press
Update information on various versions sold at the lowest price.
Messages flooded the screen like crazy.
Some ask for help, some sell information, and some recruit.
At this moment, Zhou Baiyu realized that the so-called "us" actually refers to the forerunners.
Sister Lin also said:
"The 'we' who issued the update announcement are the gods who caused all this, but I have already told you that those gods have experienced the war and have become rules."
"And the 'us' you join is the world of forerunners."
The two 'we' are indeed different.
Zhou Baiyu actually had this kind of speculation for a long time.
He watched the messages slide rapidly:
"Can I post on this too?"
"Of course, but remember what I said, don't challenge the rules unless you are willing to pay a lot of advance value."
"What if I use code words to communicate with people? What if I am read by others? What if I write acrostic poems?" Zhou Baiyu is like a gangster.
Maybe it’s not easy to have a customer, but Sister Lin is patient:
"God is watching you. Anyone who tries to circumvent the advance value mechanism will become dust in version 1.0."
"Maybe when you reach the sixth level and become the Order of Chaos, you can fight against the rules. But now, you'd better abide by the rules."
Zhou Baiyu nodded and roughly understood something.
"As long as they are willing to pay the advance value, humans can exchange various versions of information. Ha, no wonder."
Obviously, a dilemma arises here.
Every pioneer is trapped in a countdown to life and death. No one knows whether they can survive the next challenge.
In order to survive, everyone is more willing to improve themselves. Using advance points to get a good start can maximize the chance of survival.
As for publishing the guide, this requires paying a lot of advance points.
