Chapter 266 Dreaming Shelter? Han Mengyao in History! (2/4)
The modern 21st century - the end of the world - the old era - the new era.
The general stages of human history.
Li Guanqi entered his own real world, and then after thinking about the speculation of the ancient scholar You Hao's teacher, the sheep-headed man Alton, he came to this conclusion.
As for how many years each stage lasts, it is unknown.
Forehead.
In fact, it is not known how true this guessed historical stage conclusion is.
But, it’s also enough to make people feel depressed.
"..."
In the secret study room, Li Guanqi sat opposite You Hao with a solemn expression.
The end of the world?
Why?
Humans still have so many missiles and nuclear bombs, how could they be bullied into the apocalypse by a group of third-level curse spirits, and then build a shelter in the wilderness to keep warm?
This is completely unreasonable.
Unless... during that period, human beings first brought the world to the end of the world by themselves, and then were bullied by low-level curse spirits.
So, is the old era really the future?
wrong.
It's not the future.
Li Guanqi's eyes gradually became firmer.
Just like he used the simulator to change the future destiny of Qin Lubai and Wang Yanqing in the strange world.
He can also change the future of reality.
"I need to know more."
Li Guanqi looked at You Hao and said in a deep voice: "For the rest, you must go to your teacher, the sheep-headed man Alton, right?"
"Yes."
You Hao nodded lightly and said: "After all, I am just a student. It is impossible for the teacher to tell me all his research. Moreover, he has countless ancient relics and knows many unexplored ancient ruins. Maybe those ruins are inside
, there are more ancient truths hidden.”
"Okay, let's stop here."
Li Guanqi stood up, "Then I'll go first... huh?"
Just as he was about to leave, out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a yellowed page on the bookshelf.
It was a fragment of a page preserved in a special vessel, and it looked like an ancient relic at first glance.
However, the contents of the yellowed pages attracted Li Guanqi's attention in an instant, making him look astonished.
Damn it!
Real or fake?!
Li Guanqi looked at the bookshelf, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly walked over.
On the top of the bookshelf, there is a book-sized box with a transparent front and black on the other sides.
Obviously, this thing is a magic weapon, because it is full of spiritual power.
Li Guanqi has never seen this, but he thinks it is used to control various air conditions in the box and preserve items for a long time.
Because inside the box, there was a yellowed fragment of a page - a bit like one torn out of an exercise book sold in a school canteen, with lines of horizontal lines still barely visible on it.
The content of the remaining pages was what shocked Li Guanqi.
It was a jumbled Chinese character, with many of the handwriting blurred, and it looked like a child's diary:
"Mom said that dad joined Penglai and became a patrolman. After we earn a lot of money from hunting spell spirits, our family can move to the Dreaming Sanctuary.
Yes, I heard that it is so big, the Lord of the Sanctuary, seems to be the Evil Phoenix Queen, it is said that she is the eldest sister, I ■■■■■■■■■■"
……Grass.
Li Guanqi looked at this fragment of page and was completely confused.
Penglai?
Night watchman?
Fighting a curse spirit?
Dreaming Shelter?
Lord of Sanctuary, Queen of Evil Phoenix?
Isn’t it?!
Li Guanqi's face was full of disbelief.
The dream viewing shelter alone was not enough to make him think of anything.
The problem is that adding another Sanctuary Lord with the title of "Evil Phoenix Queen" makes the connection happen in an instant.
Phoenix, phoenix.
Han Mengyao who swallowed the Phoenix Heart!
Dreaming Shelter?
Li Guanqi.
Han Mengyao.
Taking the second character in the name and combining them together is just like dreaming!
"Really or not?"
Li Guanqi looked at this fragment of page and almost came up with a heart-stirring and touching story.
——The end of the world is coming, and cursed monsters are ravaging the world. Han Mengyao rises with the heart of the phoenix and builds a shelter in the wilderness to protect the people of the human race. In order to commemorate his former lover, he named the shelter "Guanmeng"!
"What's going on?"
Li Guanqi frowned, completely confused.
If the weird world is the real future, then these fragments are the fragments of the diary of a child in a shelter in the early days of the apocalypse?
So, in the early days of the apocalypse, Han Mengyao fought against the cursed spirit, became a lord in the wilderness, and earned the title of "Evil Phoenix Queen"?
What about him?
If he and Han Mengyao are together, then the lord of Guanmeng Sanctuary cannot be Han Mengyao.
To be honest, he is very chauvinistic. If he really joins hands with Han Mengyao to build a sanctuary, then he will never let his girlfriend become the lord.
But if they are not together, then where has he gone?
Or did he just die when the end of the world just arrived?
Then because Han Mengyao missed his "dead husband", she named the shelter "Guanmeng" to commemorate her?
Damn it, say no!
"Wait, this isn't right either..."
Li Guanqi frowned.
Why did Han Mengyao eat the Phoenix Heart?
In the final analysis, it was him who took Han Mengyao to Liugui Village...but this was the result of the simulation, and it was also because the simulator allowed him to change the real ending that Han Mengyao finally survived.
In the history of the strange world, during the end of the world, Han Mengyao was the Evil Phoenix Queen with the heart of the phoenix.
In this case, there are three situations.
1. He never appeared in history at all.
He has never met Han Mengyao, and Han Mengyao's ultimate destiny is to become the Evil Phoenix Queen.
2. History is inevitable.
No matter how he simulated it in reality, he could not change the outcome. Even if he had not taken Han Mengyao to Liugui Village, Han Mengyao would have eaten the Phoenix Heart for other reasons and lived to the end of the world, achieving the reputation of the Evil Phoenix Queen in the end of the world.
3. He can change history.
Because the real modern period is the historical period of the weird world, his actions in reality can simultaneously change the history of the weird world.
Which situation is it?
Li Guanqi didn't know and was too lazy to make meaningless and unfounded guesses.
He only knew that it was no wonder that the strange world wanted to give him this [Gu Village Ecstasy] mission, because here he could not only get the spirit refining worms, but also the diary fragments that were closely related to him.
The dungeons and tasks in the strange world are not randomly assigned without any basis.
"Youhao!"
Li Guanqi looked at the ancient scholar next to him, pointed to the broken pages of the diary on the bookshelf, and said in a deep voice: "Where did you get this?"
"this?"
You Hao came over and looked at the broken pages of the diary. He had a complicated expression for a moment and said with emotion: "If it weren't for these things, I wouldn't have been bitten by the Cold Wind Scorpion."
"Um?"
Li Guanqi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is this why you went to the ancient ruins?"
"Almost."
You Hao sighed softly, "I discovered that ancient ruins two months ago. After entering, I found some things on the outside, including this broken page. The inside is too dangerous, and they are all filled with second-level curse spirits.
, so I dare not go deeper.
But after I came back, looking at this diary fragment, I always felt that there might be more ancient relics left deep in the ruins.
Maybe there are more written records preserved that can let me know about the daily life of ancient people... This idea deepened day by day. Finally, at the end of last month, I couldn't restrain my impulse and hired a group of mercenaries to break into the ruins.
deep.
However, I didn’t expect that the depths of the ruins would be more dangerous. Not only are there third-level curse spirits, but there are even third-level demon species.”
"bite!"
The cold mechanical female voice sounded in Li Guanqi's mind again.
"You triggered the mission condition."
"You've been given a new side quest."
——[Ancient Relics]——
Mission introduction: The incomplete diary, her paradoxical appearance, maybe in the depths of that ancient ruins, you can find more of her presence in history? Discover more connections between this world and reality?
Mission requirements: Follow You Hao and explore ancient ruins again!
Mission clues: 1. Follow You Hao and listen to the experts. Otherwise, if you find something, you may accidentally destroy it.
Mission success reward:???
Penalty for mission failure:???
"bite!"
"Please note that every time you complete a main mission and reach the ending, you can choose a side mission to continue your journey into the weird world."
...No wonder.
Li Guanqi suddenly realized.
No wonder the incident of seeing the diary fragments did not appear in the simulation session because it involved another task.
As for the simulator, it only simulates the whole incident of [Gu Village Ecstasy] from beginning to end. Things that have nothing to do with this matter, such as when he first took Chi Gongming to Leicheng to save Qin Lubai, will not be simulated by the simulator.
, just ignore it.
It is said that this is a side mission. After completing the main mission, you can also choose this side mission to continue staying in the strange world.
OK.
That's it.
First get the Gu King Championship, get the Spirit Refining Insect, break through to the third level of spells, and complete [Gu Village Enchantment], then go to the [Ancient Ruins] to try it out.
As for whether we can go to that ruins first during this period?
Li Guanqi didn't know.
But for that matter, there's no need to try.
Once the ruins are gone, who knows how long they will stay there?
But the Gu King Contest is indeed going to start in a few days.
The ruins will not escape there.
If I missed the spirit refining insect in the competition, it is really gone.
Then he really has to wait until next year, when the spirit refining insect in his body dies naturally, before he can break through to the third level.
"You Hao."
Li Guanqi looked at the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "Take care of yourself, recover your body, and when the Gu King Tournament is over, you can accompany me to visit that ancient ruins."
"ah?!"
You Hao's eyes suddenly widened, "I, I..."
"rest assured."
Li Guanqi patted him on the shoulder, "When the time comes, there will be a five-element-level alien-blood warrior following you, so you don't have to be afraid, right?"
"Five elements level?!"
The expression on You Hao's face instantly changed from fear to surprise, "Is there really a Five Elements class following you? That's great! If there really is a Five Elements class, then I will definitely lead the way!"
After all, he is a scholar who loves ancient history.
Li Guanqi smiled slightly.
The powerful martial artist at the Five Elements level is naturally his senior sister Wang Yanqing.
Of course, in fact, he had no idea whether the senior sister would be able to get here when the Gu King Tournament was over.
If not?
You Hao has to go even if he agrees, and he has to go if he doesn't agree.
"That's it."
Li Guanqi looked at You Hao and said calmly: "I'm going to leave first, and I'll come back to you when the time comes. Don't leave the village these days."
"Here, are you leaving now?"
You Hao was stunned and pointed to the glass display cabinet outside, "Those are ancient relics. Some nobles like to collect these. You can take a few of them away as my gratitude for your life-saving grace."
"No need."
Li Guanqi pointed at You Hao's head and chuckled, "The knowledge in your head is the greatest thank you to me."
"alright."
"Take the first step."
"Oh, yes, there is more."
Li Guanqi turned around and walked a few steps, then looked back at You Hao.
"My name is Xuan Li, but I don't like people calling me by my full name. You can call me Mr. Li."
…
…
Question: How to choose a name from a southern Xinjiang person?
Answer: First pick a name from a Daluo person, and then read it in reverse to see if it looks strange.
If it's weird, it's a nice southern Xinjiang name.
If it sounds weird and hard to pronounce, then congratulations, you got a very, very good southern Xinjiang name.
Xuan Li is Li Guanqi’s current pseudonym.
As for Mr. Li’s title?
At least it has the word "李", so if you call him on the street, he won't be able to react immediately.
The Gu King Competition will be officially held on the first day of next month.
That means there are seven days left.
After Li Guanqi came out of You Hao's house, he went to the Moye family and signed up for the competition as Xuan Li with the mantis, the top-grade Liangyi-level cursed insect given as a simulated reward.
Then, he went to the bank of Moxie Gu Village.
When he was in Gu City, he won the championship of that spell competition. In addition to the pure gold trophy, he also received a 10,000-coin ticket as a reward.
After exchanging the money notes, Li Guanqi took the money and rented a room in the inn in Moxie Gu Village.
1,000 yuan for 10 days.
To be honest, he really didn't know much about the local market. In short, after randomly shopping around, Li Guanqi chose an inn with a medium price but an environment he liked very much.
This is a mushroom house inn.
There is a special kind of mushroom growing in southern Xinjiang. Its scientific name is the Ayerich giant mushroom. However, because it only grows in southern Xinjiang, it is also called the southern Xinjiang giant mushroom.
This kind of giant mushroom is very exaggerated. It can grow up to thirty meters high and three hundred meters in diameter. After death, this giant mushroom will not wither seriously, at most it will shrink slightly.
Then the people in southern Xinjiang apply some hardened paint, and then they can directly decorate and modify it into a mushroom house.
This is the reason why people in southern Xinjiang live in tree houses and mushroom houses - purely natural, a house sent by God.
"Buzz——"
Mushroom House Inn, in a room on the third floor.
Li Guanqi sat cross-legged on the bed and cast a spell, summoning a black light that enveloped his entire body.
And then.
His mind moved slightly.
Simulator, open!
The main mission is the same as the dungeon and cannot be simulated at any time after entering the strange world, but the side missions should be different.
If possible, he would simulate the situation of the side mission [Ancient Ruins].
…
…
【Weird World Simulator】
On the land shrouded in black mist.
Li Guanqi looked at the light screen panel in front of him and sighed helplessly.
[The current energy of the simulator can only barely support the next text simulation. It is not recommended to spend it on side tasks in the weird world. Even the main tasks are not recommended to be simulated now. 】
【You need to find more charging items.】
"Charging items..."
Li Guanqi shook his head and laughed.
Yes, I almost forgot about this.
It seems I can no longer be a homebody.
You have to take a good tour of Moxie Gu Village.
When it was still in dungeon mode, there would definitely be charged items hidden in the environment of each dungeon, such as time rings and time necklaces.
Although it is no different from the copy now, it has been renamed "mission system", and Li Guanqi is not sure whether it can still be the same as before.
But no matter what, you have to look for it.
Although he didn't even know how to find it.
But let's do our best and obey fate.
At least you have to visit every corner of Moxie Gu Village.
…
…
Moxie Gu Village is not big.
At best, it can be considered a small realistic town. It is not crowded for 30,000 people, but it is not spacious.
Li Guanqi spent half a day and was almost done shopping by evening.
As expected.
Nothing was found.
"Sure enough, it still has something to do with the plot."
The night is like water.
Li Guanqi stood next to a tree house, looking at the fortress high up in Gu Village.
That is the fortress of the Moye family, where everyone in the Moye family lives.
He hasn't looked inside the fortress yet.
I can't say 100% of the rest of the entire Moxie Gu Village, but Li Guanqi must have searched 98% of the places. In places where people can't enter, he also casually made a "human and insect visible" to an insect.
"The technique, I went in and looked at it again.
To trigger a charged item, you only need to see it.
Then he should be able to trigger it if he looks through the eyes of a curse insect.
But the fact is, it doesn't.
Then there can only be one truth.
The fortress of the Moye family.
Charged items can only appear there.
"Um……"
Looking at the towering fortress in the night, Li Guanqi gritted his teeth and felt a little embarrassed.
The Moye family has five-element-level spellcasters. It would be impossible to put a spellworm in there, as it would definitely be discovered.
Playing with bugs in front of the Southern Xinjiang Bug Curse Master is just a joke, isn't it?
We can only wait until we win the championship.
If the winner of the Gu King Contest is handsome, he will have the opportunity to have sex with the high priest of the Moye family.
Where to sleep then?
I'll definitely go back to the fort to sleep!
"Do you really want to sleep with her?"
Li Guanqi fell into deep thought.
What he was thinking about at this time was not only the matter of being loyal or unfaithful to Han Mengyao, but also the strangeness behind this matter.
According to the simulation situation, the high priest will cast a spell on him to make him forget the process.
Ecstasy?
The ecstasy in Gu Village?
Is the word "enchantment" of this mission just that simple?
Li Guanqi always felt that there was a problem, and this problem should be the key to triggering the special perfect ending.
"Oh, forget it, we'll see when the time comes."
Li Guanqi looked around.
Looking at the street where there was no one around because it was late at night, he chose to turn around and leave, preparing to return to the inn where he lived.
But just after walking two streets.
"boom!"
Suddenly there was a loud noise not far away!
"Grass!"
"It's her again!"
"You are not allowed to sleep at night?!"
"I curse her to Lord Gu God, damn foreign woman!"
The smell of herbs?
Li Guanqi shrugged his nose, a little curious, turned his head, and followed the source of the smell and the reputation of the explosion.
In an alley not far away, a green mushroom house was emitting thick black smoke.
But there was no fire.
"Fox grass, dog stomach fruit...and other random smells, is this alchemy?"
"ha."
Li Guanqi looked at the mushroom house and couldn't help but let out a chuckle of gloating, "Judging from the explosion and thick smoke, it must have been the refining of the potion that blew up the pot."
During the three days he spent studying alchemy with Qin Lubai on the Daluo border, he also blew up several of Qin Lubai's small pots.
Um?
Li Guanqi suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Because the explosion inside the mushroom house caused the whole house to shake violently, and the sign on the door was also shaky and about to fall down.
"Crack."
In the end, the wooden sign fell to the ground.
——[Sorcerer Arya’s Cauldron]
Magician?
Li Guanqi frowned slightly.
No conjurer calls himself a conjurer.
For traditional magicians, there is no abbreviation of "magician".
The army called them military magicians, but the magicians always called themselves military magicians - especially in this sensitive period of the dispute between the old and the new, the word "curse" cannot be lost.
There is only one kind of person who calls himself a magician.
New school.
This pharmacy is opened by a new magician named Arya?
This name does not sound like someone from southern Xinjiang, and from the angry curses from the neighbors, it can be known that she is a foreign woman.
interesting.
New magician, foreigner.
Li Guanqi walked towards the mushroom house with a smile on his face.
It's just right to take this opportunity to understand what kind of people the new sect of magicians are.
