Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Chapter 515: Expanding the Blank Area (Infinite Blank Area)

Then the boy raised his hand, took out the magic wand, and gently tapped the girl behind him. The girl closed her eyes and followed the boy mechanically.

It was then that others discovered that there were obvious traces of stitching on the girl's elbows and fingers.

Fortunately, this embarrassing scene did not last too long. A large number of players came out of the portal, which made the first player feel relieved.

The players who came out were also a little surprised when they saw the scene before them.

A large number of staff members came up to explain the situation to the players and invited them to wait for a while before they were awarded certificates and interviewed by the Central News Agency.

There will be a celebration banquet later to celebrate their return.

In order to prevent these players from waiting too long, leaders at all levels coordinated the entire process in advance, and there was almost no delay. Each leader spoke briefly, emphasizing on praising these heroes who were exploring other worlds for Dayuan, for Xia Country, and even for humanity.

It has to be said that most of the players entering the "Wizard Academy" game this time are not very old. They joined the game just to have a chance to come into contact with the extraordinary and did not think too much about it.

But at this moment, being elevated to a higher level, being called pioneers and heroes, standing under the spotlight, being greeted with flowers and applause, everyone had an unexpected and wonderful feeling that they were recognized by their own country.

At least, before joining the game, they never thought that one day they would be interviewed and reported by official media, nor did they ever think that they would receive national-level recognition and certificates from Xia Country.

They also met Wang Yu and Li Ting, who are the real "GMs", the operators of the valuable Blue Star, and they are also the level 90 big bosses themselves.

Many players exchanged their thoughts with Wang Yu and Li Ting, and also wanted to see if they could let Wang Yu see what their future would be like, and see if Wang Yu's predictions were as magical as the legends said...

All in all, this event was a happy one for everyone.

The Abnormality Handling Bureau attaches great importance to players, giving them fame and resources, so most players choose to cooperate with the official.

The leaders of Dayuan City also emphasized that players who perform outstandingly in the Place of Value game will also receive additional honors, because everyone is working for the survival of mankind.

The entire incident was recorded in the lenses of various media and self-media, which also marked that the game "Place of Value" was exposed to the public through a fairly official channel.

Zhuang Chenggong, Wang Yu and Li Ting together after the welcoming ceremony.

Zhuang Chenggong couldn't stop smiling as he looked at the player registration form brought up by the staff below.

He said excitedly: "All of them, all of them, have chosen to cooperate with us, or at least joined our team as consultants. And at least five scholars have related research projects and are already discussing project establishment. These projects are what we urgently need. Once the research is successful, our living conditions will be significantly improved."

Almost all players have their own research directions they want to pursue, but the Abnormality Handling Bureau cannot fully support them at the moment and can only select some research that is helpful to the current situation.

For example, a defensive array or a defensive barrier.

From communicating with these players, Zhuang Chenggong discovered that in another magical world, defensive arrays and defensive barriers are standard. If he could research a defensive array that suits the characteristics of Blue Star, not to mention isolating evil spirits, as long as it could hold out for a moment and provide early warning, that would be great.

Among these studies, five were directly related to the human living environment and were included in the review process on the spot.

"And the fighting power of these scholars is not low. The Wizard Academy is really good."

"This way, we have all the support personnel. Not only that, we have more than enough."

Zhuang Chenggong was really happy.

He witnessed with his own eyes that after the emergence of places of value, the living environment of human beings changed.

He never doubted people's ability to adapt to the environment, but there was no doubt that the existence of value shortened the adaptation process and avoided many meaningless sacrifices.

As long as he can make people's lives better and ensure the safety of more people's lives, he doesn't care who he cooperates with. After all, survival is always the first priority.

"But I didn't expect that the city leaders would be so supportive. I thought I would need to spend more time convincing them..."

Zhuang Chenggong said with some relief.

Before this, as the environment in Dayuan City gradually improved, many leaders wanted to interfere in the affairs of the Abnormal Handling Bureau intentionally or unintentionally, and their attitudes were not very good.

I originally thought that my proposal would be shelved and might need to receive some rectification suggestions, but I didn’t expect it to be passed smoothly.

Even easier than he imagined.
"It seems that the leaders who are able to get promoted have good judgment and know which things are critical."

Hearing this, Li Ting shrugged and muttered softly: "That's not necessarily true..."

Zhuang Chenggong heard what Li Ting said and asked, "What happened?"

Li Ting waved her hand and said, "Nothing. By the way, have you chosen the provinces and cities to support? Wang Yu has already told me that I will be the leader of this support team and go to other cities."

Zhuang Chenggong and Wang Yu confirmed: "There won't be any other problems in Dayuan City in the future, right? Can we start supporting other cities?"

Wang Yu nodded: "Okay."

Zhuang Chenggong got Wang Yu's consent and said with a smile: "That's good. The cities we want to support are Jingdu and Dafeng City."

"Kyoto is the core of Xia Country. If we want to maintain order, Kyoto cannot have any problems. Moreover, they provide the most resources, including the media power this time. It is also under Kyoto's instruction that we have such a propaganda channel."

"And I guess the officials from Dayuan City were so cooperative this time. Maybe they were told something by their superiors..."

"As for the lockdown... they are now the worst-hit areas. Order there is on the verge of collapse. S-level anomalies cannot be handled at all. Superheroes have basically disappeared. No one knows whether they are dead or have escaped..."

"Anyway, the situation over there is very serious. Kyoto gave us resources in the hope that we can help. After all, they are our compatriots over there. I agree."

Zhuang Chenggong looked at the two people in front of him. He knew that if he really wanted to ensure the safety of Dafeng City and restore order, he could only rely on the strength of the two people in front of him.

Zhuang Chenggong bowed deeply and said, "Please."

But before he could bend down, Wang Yu stopped him: "No need to say this, I am also a member of Xia Country, and this is what I should do."

Li Ting stretched and said, "That's great. I really want to try to transform an S-level evil spirit and see if I can make an interesting pet like the evil spirit master."

Zhuang Chenggong put the list in his hand into his briefcase and took out a special crystal.

"Fortunately, there are items provided by the Place of Value. Otherwise, it would be difficult to preserve these materials. Alas..."

Thanks to the memory crystals exchanged from the place of value, the data was preserved under the influence of the abnormal events. The abnormal events were recorded through many carriers, but the other carriers have become invalid one after another.

Wang Yu was not surprised by this and just said calmly: "It's normal. The higher the level of the evil spirits, the more ways they can hide themselves. Their existence is secretive and cannot be recorded by ordinary means."

"Indeed." Zhuang Chenggong smiled bitterly. "These are all the abnormal data provided by Kyoto. You can take a look at it."

Zhuang Chenggong handed the information to Wang Yu, and then after making sure that Wang Yu took the crystal, he touched his temple with a black flashlight, erasing his memory of the abnormal events.

This is also the early warning method provided by Kyoto, which can effectively avoid being affected by abnormal events.

"so serious?"

Li Ting and Wang Yu looked at each other, and both of them simultaneously probed their consciousness into the crystal memory and looked at the contents above...

===========
Anomaly Name: Expanding Void (Formerly known as: The Eraser/White Dot)

File ID: A1-ZF-0897-VOB
Abnormal presumption level: S
Date of Discovery: January 2043, 1

Report author:——
Dafeng City Abnormal Processing Bureau Intermediate Agent Unknown 1 (deceased)
-
Dafeng City Abnormal Processing Bureau Intermediate Agent Unknown 2 (deceased)
-
Dafeng City Abnormal Processing Bureau Senior Agent Ming Xinrong (deceased)——
Dafeng City Abnormal Processing Bureau Senior Agent Lin Muran (deceased)——
Zhu Zhiwei, senior agent of Kyoto City Abnormal Processing Bureau (under quarantine and protection)
Current status: Still active

Affected area: Initially the Jiashi Garden residential area on Huishi Road in Dafeng City, and now it has expanded to the southeastern outskirts of Dafeng City.

=========
Detailed records:

Time: March 2043, 1

Residents of the Jiashi Garden residential area reported that there was "complete darkness" in the rooms of the opposite building, which is consistent with the characteristics of an abnormal event.

Then report to the grid security officer.

After observation, the grid security officer found that all light sources in a specific area were ineffective, including flashlights, mobile phone lights, etc. There was no sound feedback in the area, and even the echo disappeared completely.

The people were then evacuated to specific locations and reported to the Abnormal Handling Bureau.

After the special agents and superheroes from the Abnormal Processing Bureau arrived at the scene, they conducted targeted detection of abnormal incidents.

After the drone entered, the camera immediately failed and the GPS signal was interrupted. The drone did not return and all equipment lost contact.

Thermal sensing monitoring found that the temperature in the abnormal area was below absolute zero, but there was no thermal transition zone at its boundary, making it impossible to confirm whether the monitoring equipment had failed due to the abnormal event.

Three robots wearing isolation gear entered without any response, and the specific return procedure was not executed.

Three hours later, the area suddenly expanded several times at an extremely fast speed, engulfing the leading personnel. Communications were completely cut off after the anomaly covered them. It was impossible to recover the agents and equipment. The area was temporarily blocked and upgraded to a high-risk anomaly event.

===========
2043/ 1/ 18

The area expanded from the initial 15 meters to 100 meters, and then increased at a rate of 1 meter per hour.

The engulfed area cannot be recorded and appears blank on the map, but it still has its original support and the building has no obvious structural problems.

Sub-event A1-ZF-0897-VOB-001: All people and objects in the affected area are erased from records. Some affected family members and insiders have no memory of the disappearance, but their perceptions conflict with each other. Files, photos, and other records are lost simultaneously.

Sub-event A1-ZF-0897-VOB-002: Staff members near the border began to experience "memory gaps", and they had difficulty recalling parts of their work. The infection spread to the Anomalous Processing Bureau's related monitors, and three personnel who had not been in contact with the anomalous area also lost their relevant memories.

======
Seeing this, Wang Yu paused and asked Li Ting beside him: "What do you think?"

Li Ting looked at the two previous events and said, "It is still difficult to judge whether this is a feature of an abnormal event or the other party is looking for an anchor point to descend..."

Wang Yu nodded slightly.

========
2043/ 1/ 19

Attempts were made to use various materials to block the spread of the abnormal area, but the area continued to expand outward, and no materials were found that could effectively stop the abnormality. All existence, including the abilities of superheroes, would be "swallowed" by the blank area.

The following materials have been checked: high-density titanium alloy, nano-composite shield, plasma field, diamond-based barrier... (a total of 14778 items)
==========
2043/ 1/ 20

The anomalous area rapidly expanded in the early hours of the morning, undergoing a secondary transformation, completely engulfing the entire building in a mere three hours, with the structure and landforms disappearing and the surrounding area instantly becoming a smooth, blank expanse of white space.

From any angle, it's a round white hole.

Sub-event A1-ZF-0897-VOB-003: Residents of the quarantine site experienced "area blanks" and "memory gaps", presumed to be secondary infection.

Sub-event A1-ZF-0897-VOB-004: Superhero "Giant" shows symptoms of infection.

Sub-event A1-ZF-0897-VOB-005: Superhero "Needle" shows symptoms of infection.

Sub-event A1-……

Wang Yu and Li Ting quickly scanned the following information.

From here on, the collapse of the city lockdown began. Employees outside all showed varying degrees of infection symptoms. Although this infection was not obvious in superheroes, it was difficult to eliminate.

This raises a paradoxical question.

If they don't understand the mechanism, they won't be able to deal with the infection in a targeted manner, and these infected superheroes will have no choice but to wait for death.

But if you try to study the anomaly, there is a high chance that you will trigger an infection.

The director of the Dafeng City Abnormal Handling Bureau seemed to have a choice, but in fact he had no choice. No one would unite under a leader who might abandon them at any time, so the director naturally chose research.

The result was that except for the employee who restarted in the Abnormal Handling Bureau building, all other personnel were killed.

Fortunately, these studies are not in vain.

At least I have a better understanding of the "Expanded Blank Space" named S-level.
