Chapter 3 A hardcore game with one life clearance
"Are you lost? Did you really die this time? Does dying mean falling into this emptiness?" Jiang Yangshuo only had this thought now.
Just when I feel like I'm about to collapse, it's like a tiny stream of air blowing through my body, and all the sounds recede like the ebbing sea water.
Jiang Yangshuo felt that his limbs were back under his control, and a ball of milky white light covered him from above. His body seemed to have lost weight, floating gently and flying towards the place where the light was emitting.
The light source was a huge milky-white palace, which gradually grew larger from a small point in the field of vision as Jiang Yangshuo approached. The base was made of white marble, floating in the sky full of stars.
The light that guided him a foot above the steps stopped shining, gravity resumed, and Jiang Yangshuo stepped onto the steps. The feeling of the soles of his feet hitting the bottom returned to him.
On the steps are countless bronze doors side by side, each door carved with different patterns of symbols. Directly opposite Jiang Yangshuo, there is a phoenix-like bird carved on it.
Opening the door, it looked like a huge library inside. There were huge bookshelves placed every other yard away, and Jiang Yangshuo had to look up to see the top.
Every bookshelf is filled with books, some of which are still floating in the air, and a quill automatically writes fast or slowly on the books.
The thickness of each book is different, there are ordinary cardboard book cases, there are books with gorgeous packaging, there are even books that look like they are made of gold.
The writing on the golden book is not an ordinary quill, but a huge feather with burning red flames is carved on it.
Books are constantly floating out of the bookshelf. A quill automatically falls from the ceiling and starts writing on the books. There are also books that finish writing and then float back to the bookshelf.
After finishing writing, the quill automatically burned and emitted a small ball of fire, then turned into ashes.
Jiang Yangshuo looked at the bookshelf. The bookshelf in front of him had Bruguet written on the side, and the bookshelf not far away said Luke. They should be bookshelves divided by different countries.
Among a pile of books, a dark metal box stood out. There was a piece of glass on the dark front and several silver buttons. A blue light flashed on the glass, and a series of numbers jumped on it.
At 21:4:28, there was a "buzzing" sound coming from inside the iron box. Jiang Yangshuo recognized it at a glance. It should be similar to a Blu-ray player on Earth.
"How could such a thing exist?" Jiang Yangshuo said to himself.
A technological product appeared in a library that looked like it was in a magical world. Everyone would be curious about it. After saying that, he was ready to take down the iron box and take a look. "Don't take the items that are not yours or break them."
I can't save your life."
Such a voice suddenly burst out in Jiang Yangshuo's mind. The cold, mechanical voice without any emotion was very similar to that of the early artificial assistants on mobile phones.
Turning his head, a funny humanoid figure that looked a bit like a Sunny Day doll with only a light object floating behind it.
It is about the size of an adult. Two black dots and a horizontal line are probably the eyes and mouth. The eyes and mouth seem to be painted on a large light ball, which is probably the head.
Under the head is a body of pure light without a pointy cone. Other than that, it has no arms or legs, and it looks like a simple figure drawn by a child who has just learned how to draw.
"Are you the owner of this library?" Jiang Yangshuo suppressed his laughter and curiosity and asked the most normal question.
"Library? Maybe you will recognize it as a library at first sight. People with different cognitive backgrounds or other intelligent creatures have different names for this place. Anyway, it is just a false name. If you want to call it a library, it is a library.
"
The mouth of the light ball did not move, and the voice directly sounded in Jiang Yangshuo's brain. This was probably the legendary telepathy.
"Then who are you? Did you lead me here?" Jiang Yangshuo asked carefully. It seems that the weirdo in front of him can still communicate.
"Me? Each nation calls me differently. First some people called me the little man in the bottle, and later some called me the almighty being. When you people on earth saw me for the first time, some even called me carrot."
Radish? The homophone of English robot. Wait a minute, Earthlings?!
Jiang Yangshuo almost jumped up, "Are you talking about people from Earth?" he carefully confirmed again.
"Earthling, about 10,000 revolutions before your planet, there was a soul from the same planet as you. He calls himself an Earthling. I think you and him should be from the same hometown." The light ball was still expressionless.
.
Ten thousand years ago, a fellow Earthling from the English-speaking area came here! Jiang Yangshuo felt that he was not the only unlucky child chosen by heaven, and he finally felt balanced.
Of course, 10,000 years refers to the time here. Those who know the robot may mean that there is only one second difference between the time on earth and the time when they traveled through time. After all, these are two different universes.
"They must be from the same country. The person who calls me Carrot is probably European and American. Although he is not from the big food empire. But he is no longer on the earth, so he is still from the same country. Can you give me some news about the people from the same country?" Jiang Yangshuo was a little bit confused.
Excited.
"No, it involves confidentiality, so I refuse to answer."
Fuck, Jiang Yangshuo had the urge to dismantle this thing, but after considering himself, he still felt that he couldn't beat it.
"Then why did you summon me here?"
"Sign the contract to end this Black Iron Era. This is your mission."
Signing a contract? Then, I am an idol trainee who has been practicing for n years. Can I sing and dance rap? This was the first thing that popped into Jiang Yangshuo's mind.
"End the Black Iron Era?" Jiang Yangshuo asked seriously, getting rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind.
"Leading the changes of this era, small means completing a change that sweeps the world, and large means taking over the position above."
The ball of light pointed at twelve chairs floating in the air in the distance, each with a huge book on it.
Jiang Yangshuo reluctantly recognized that the cover of one of them showed a simple drawing of snowflakes, which was the holy symbol of the winter god that Annick believed in.
"Becoming a god?" Jiang Yangshuo couldn't imagine it.
"If you call a creature or spiritual body that has stolen part of the original authority a god, then it is a god."
Guang Qiu's tone seemed unconcerned, as if the gods were no different from him in front of him.
"What are the benefits of signing with me, boss?"
"Benefit? I can give you all the knowledge you want to know, as long as it is all the scientific and mystical knowledge since the birth of this planet."
Damn it, this person in front of me is probably not a supercomputer. It looks more powerful than a quantum computer on earth.
"Computer? Only information is not enough to reconstruct this thing." Guangqiu seemed to be able to read Jiang Yangshuo's thoughts, and decisively stopped complaining about Guangqiu's heart.
"How can I return home after completing my mission? I mean back to Earth."
"Yes, you have to reach the end of the age of the gods to give you the opportunity to choose one of the two. I have a time-travel door that leads to two different universes. Since this is a collision of laws between different universes, it is a completely random result.
I can't interfere, but you have a 50% chance of returning to Earth."
The probability of 50% is the probability of flipping a coin and it will come up heads, which is quite high. As for ending the gods? Do you want to kill them all? Jiang Yangshuo thought.
"Ending does not mean that it must be eliminated. It can also be done by isolating the gods from the world, or pulling down the throne." The light ball read Jiang Yangshuo's thoughts and added.
"Does the boss have specific stage tasks, such as assassinating a certain politician or rescuing a certain princess?"
"No, we won't assign tasks. You control everything yourself."
