Inventory of the heavens: start to shock from shining Tiga

Chapter 857 Easter Egg Hunter

"Hey, Edge, what are you doing?" Wade asked.

While using a big gun to kill some enemies who were also suspected to be players rather than monsters, Aiqi said: "Coming, Z?"

"There are only 20 minutes until the car race, and I can't play in the rest of the time." Wade said, "What are you busy with?"

Ai Qi was so busy that he didn't even have time to watch the video call on the edge of his field of vision: "He's busy killing everyone!"

As the contents of Edge's sniper scope were transferred to Wade's screen, Wade looked at the samurai in the distance and asked, "Is that Dadong?"

The sniper scope moved slightly, and another thin figure was included in the shot: "Xiu is here too."

After saying that, Aiqi directly aimed at the enemies fighting with them and fired, which helped them end the battle in advance.

At this time, Wade also saw a blue object on the mountain peak not far away.

Seeing countless players surrounding a mere hill, Wade asked, "Is this a fight for a certain artifact?"

"That's right," Aiqi said: "Gregory 120 can transform into any large mecha for two minutes. It's so cool!"

At this point, the camera moved away from Aiqi and once again entered the perspective of God from high altitude, fully showing how brutal the war for this artifact was.

Wade's narration continued at this time: "Artifacts...artifacts are very crucial. Halliday has placed enough powerful artifacts in the oasis. As long as you are strong enough, anyone can get these artifacts!"

In the screen, a player wearing a thick exoskeleton armor finally climbed onto a platform, and then began to spend money on bullets.

"Death matches and artifact hunting are both good ways to earn gold coins." The narrator continued: "But because everyone's protection capabilities are different, these two methods also have different levels of risks."

During the narration, the scenes of reality and the oasis kept switching. One moment, the middle-aged man wearing heavy armor and holding a cigar was shouting in reality. The next moment, the mother who was addicted to the game planned to sneak attack the middle-aged uncle who did not know where he was. , even ignoring the child's cry: "Everyone starts on the same starting line, but the more gold coins you earn, the higher your level will be. If you are killed, your character can be resurrected, but..."

In the oasis world, the mother who wanted to sneak attack the middle-aged uncle because she was being pulled by her child was beaten into a pile of gold coins by a hail of bullets as soon as she turned around.

"Everything you have earned through hard work..." On the destroyed planet of the oasis, the hills competing for the planet are all players. These players gather together to fight, but in reality, the actual distance may be very different: " It will all turn into nothing..."

With the help of Dadong, Xiu killed a player whose IP address was in the same country into gold coins, causing the unlucky guy to scold his grandson.

After solving this unlucky guy, Xiu and Dadong did not stop killing. They were still working hard to fight for the artifact. Unknown to them, after they stabbed another person to death, the player who lost all his gold coins and equipment went straight to work. Unable to figure it out, Wu Wen threw down the headset angrily, ran to the window and tried to jump off the building.

But obviously this was not the first time this happened. An experienced colleague caught him in time before he jumped out of the window, preventing him from actually jumping downstairs and falling into pieces.

The narration continues, but after introducing the gameplay and significance of the game, the next part is the history of the game.

Halliday and his friend Moreau, who have been mentioned before, created Oasis. Once it was released in 2025, it was a great success and became super rich.

But Morrow soon left the company, leaving Halliday with the largest company in the world.

But in 2040, the world's richest man in every sense passed away, and the legacy he left behind changed everything.

In the picture, Halliday, who made a will for himself through video, looked at the camera and said: "Hello everyone, when you see this video, I am already dead. Before I die, I designed a What people in the industry call 'Easter eggs'. These are hidden items in the game, and players who find them can gain special abilities. I hid the Easter egg in the oasis, and the first person to find it will inherit my social status. All shares held by gaming companies. The current market value exceeds US$50..."

After a pause, Halliday, who was a little confused before his death, continued: "Well, more than 5000 billion US dollars, and can obtain absolute control of the Oasis World."

After explaining the explanation, the whole world was excited, but they kept silent in a tacit agreement. After listening to what he continued to say, Halliday continued: "My game character, the omniscient Arnock..."

Halliday, who was originally a real person, suddenly turned into a cube, and then collapsed into gravel, but after the collapse, he turned into another thinner bearded man. This is the Arnold Halliday said: "I Three keys are created and three hidden challenges are set up to test the player's valuable qualities. Once passed, you can obtain three hidden keys to open three magical doors... Those who have the ability to overcome many difficulties People will reach the end and win the final reward..."

After sending the three keys to where they should go, Arnock continued: "These keys are not just placed under any stone. It can be said that they are invisible and hidden in a small dark room in the center of the maze. And this The little dark room is right here..."

Arnock pointed to his head: "It's in my mind. Halliday's easter egg hunt begins now..."

"It's been five years, it's been five years since the easter egg hunt started," after Arnock's introduction, Wade continued to introduce in a narration: "But in the past five years, no one has found even the first key... But It’s not that there is no progress. A long-forgotten guy discovered the clues to the first key...and then a portal appeared...”    Wade’s game character jumped into the nearby portal with a clear goal, On the other side is a place outside New York City where a large number of players bring their own unique vehicles and are preparing to participate in the competition: "The challenge to win the first key is a racing competition designed by Halliday himself. It is extremely difficult and remains so popular today." No one has finished the whole race, and the only ones who are still trying are the Easter egg hunters, such as me, Xiu, Dadong, Aiqi, and of course, the [sixers] (original word is sixer), these sixths are IOI The employees of the company, which is the second largest company in the world, intend to become the first in the world, so they must win Halliday’s competition at all costs.”

"They even have a dedicated think tank that studies Halliday just like us Easter egg hunters," Wade continued: "We all spend our time studying the popular culture that Halliday likes, trying to find out the origin of the Easter eggs. Clues. But whether it is Lao Liu or the think tank, they are essentially the lackeys of the people in power of IOI..."

After a pause, Wade continued: "And this guy is a bastard named Nolan Sorrento."

["Based on my experience watching movies, this artifact that can summon a giant mecha for two minutes will definitely be used later!" Raleigh said: "For example, in the picture in the preview, although the picture is not shown, I Guess there are thousands of players behind the camera!”

Pentekos smiled: "Classic villains also have powerful weapons, so they come out to help at critical moments, right?"

"But speaking of it, it's a bit strange," Asako Mori said: "Since it is an artifact, there should be no restrictions on the giant robots that can be summoned, or very few restrictions, right? According to Wade and Halliday's introduction, in the end, for We must spare no effort in the fight for Easter eggs, and we must choose very powerful robots, but with robots that are so powerful...how can the villain create difficulties for the protagonist and his side?"

Shaking his head, Pantekos said: "You cannot underestimate IOI. Although the world is strange that the first and second largest companies have little to do with industry, this does not mean that they have no ability. IOI is such a big company, They may have the most powerful artifacts in the entire oasis, so even if they have the artifacts to summon robots like that, it may not all be smooth sailing.”

"Could our robot be summoned?" Raleigh said with a roll of his eyes: "After all, after fighting monsters for so many years, our mecha has also developed very well! We even used some inspiration from the inventory. Learn the technology of other worlds, how long has it been since you heard about the failure of the battle against monsters? It’s all good news!”

Pentekos smiled: "If you want to argue with me about which mecha is the strongest, then you have come to the wrong person. I am no longer old enough to discuss this. After all, our technology may be a bit Excellent, but it is undeniable that it is still impossible to build a mecha with no blind spots in all directions. Each mecha has its own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no true hexagonal warrior."

Raleigh said in disappointment: "Boring, I also want to show you my newly upgraded dangerous wanderer! It is about to become the strongest mecha without any weaknesses!"

"But if one day the controllable nuclear fusion technology is further miniaturized, it can be installed on mechas," Morimako said with a smile: "I'm afraid the Dangerous Wanderers will soon catch up, right? So why don't we watch the inventory? , to practice more tacit understanding of neural connections?”]

[After Luffy read Anoke, Halliday’s will, he asked strangely: “Why does it feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before?”

"Idiot, didn't Roger do something similar before he died?" Kaido bared his teeth and said: "It's just that Roger's treasure is placed there, and those who are capable can challenge it, but this Anok's easter egg can be It’s not that easy to find!”

Ace said: "Similarly using treasures that ordinary people can't refuse as a temptation, Roger started the Age of Discovery and made many pirates dream of becoming the Pirate King, while Anok started the era of Easter egg hunting."

"It's just a pity that it has nothing to do with us!" Sanji said: "Otherwise, if we could gain absolute control of the oasis world, even if it was just a virtual world, it would be awesome!"

Robin smiled: "Give up, it's so difficult for the locals to find keys and easter eggs, let alone us? We don't even know what popular culture is."

After a pause, Robin added: "But it doesn't mean that we have no direction at all. After all, Halliday seems to be a person who truly loves games. After he created Oasis, he will definitely hope that Oasis will continue to hold He is a person who also loves games, not just for profit. In other words, how he hides the Easter eggs can actually be based on selecting the target characters."]

["It's just like learning martial arts," Huang Yaoshi said while sitting in the pavilion: "Normally, it's okay. For people like us who are at the peak of martial arts, it's not easy to find a martial arts inheritor. Some people even spend their whole lives. Just waiting for such a disciple, you don’t even have to wait until you die!”

The young Huang Rong asked in confusion: "Why?"

Huang Yaoshi smiled and said: "Because our martial arts is the result of our whole life. If we randomly find someone who is good at practicing martial arts, there is no guarantee that he will be able to learn martial arts. After so many years of training, there is no guarantee that he will be able to master martial arts. , I only learned the physical form! However, martial arts, physical form, and spirit must be mastered at the same time!"

Xiao Huang Rong nodded: "Oh~ I understand. What dad means is that there may be many people who practice martial arts with good bones, but people's experiences are different, and not many can meet the requirements mentally."

"More than that, how big is the world? How many people have been on the road all their lives, but just can't get to the right place?" Huang Yaoshi said: "Why do many martial arts families prefer blood inheritance? Because generally speaking, their children are In terms of martial arts talent, there is not much difference, and it may even be that due to marriage, one is better than the other. There is no need to worry about the character, because when children grow up, they will be most influenced by their parents and elders, so in many cases, it is more suitable to inherit their own family. Martial arts. On the contrary, it is people outside the family. In addition to not having such a blood connection, it is also because they may never see each other in their lifetime!"

Xiao Huangrong smiled sweetly and said, "Just like me and daddy, right?"

Huang Yaoshi laughed and said: "Yes, my Rong'er's talent for martial arts is suitable, and her quirky temperament is also suitable!"

Pointing to the bizarre oasis world on the screen, he said: "My father has never met him, but my father understands that he is a pure person who purely loves the world he created, just like Kakarot before. He likes fighting as much as he does. Therefore, if you just study his preferences utilitarianally, you will definitely not be able to get the answer. Only a pure person like him can find the real thoughts behind his preferences from his past. … All of this needs to be sorted out.”

"But Daddy, I'm confused." Xiao Huang Rong was confused: "Wade is just an 18-year-old young man. Although we know that as the protagonist, he can definitely find Easter eggs, but why can he be in the business war?" How about surviving? Dad, you taught me that people often put interests first, which makes people intrigue and plot against each other. How can he ensure that his power will not be taken away by someone with intentions? "

Huang Yaoshi shook his head: "Halliday must have thought about this issue, and since he can make such a will, it means that he has completed the concentration of power... This future young man is not only pure, but also very smart! Even in terms of resourcefulness, he can achieve no blind spots, ensuring that even after he has been dead for so many years, he still has the confidence to smoothly transfer power to the right person."]
