Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 338 Builder

When Heya and the judge arrived, 1721 had already disappeared, leaving only an empty square space.

"What did you just do?"

The mechanical maid immediately questioned.

She only felt an unprecedented energy that tore through the space and forcibly opened a gap in the consciousness space that belonged to it.

The torn space when entering the door has not been repaired yet, and the cracked space is repairing itself at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This changed Duan Mingyuan's image in the judge's mind, from a human being to a terrorist who was carrying dangerous objects and could blow up the entire consciousness space at any time.

“I helped a young man realize his life dream.”

Duan Mingyuan sighed as he looked at the space crack that swallowed 1721.

Time flies, and before he knows it, he has grown from an ignorant high school student to an age where he can be a mentor to others. However, this is his first time trying to help others in this way, and he doesn't know if he, as an ordinary person, can afford to take on the responsibility of other people's lives like the villains in RPGs.

In Duan Mingyuan's opinion, being a villain is often the most difficult job.

The heroes only need to fight monsters to level up, or sneak into the townspeople's homes to steal their treasure chests in exchange for money to buy advanced equipment. In addition to being the target of the heroes, the villains must also constantly plot conspiracies to subvert a country, and must also think of a reason that players can empathize with, identify with, or even sympathize with.

This was a great test for Duan Mingyuan.

“What is its ideal in life?”

Heya asked in a low voice. She felt that things were definitely not as simple as Duan Mingyuan said.

She was also shocked just now and almost thought that Duan Mingyuan was going to blow up the entire consciousness space. Thinking about it carefully, ever since she met Duan Mingyuan, this person has always regarded himself as a doctor or assistant, and all he did were curing diseases and saving lives or revitalizing the planet. This was the first time she witnessed Duan Mingyuan using his abilities for destruction.

The only good news is that 1721 is gone.

Its body and the "bacteria" scattered in the prison were packaged together and sent into the crack in space, disappearing without a trace at the other end of the crack.

"Its ideals are very ambitious. Its short-term goal is to kill me after escaping the prison. In the long run, it intends to destroy the Blue Planet and spread the news of the existence of the digital world to ensure that when the day of doom comes, the 'black hole' will be destroyed along with this place."

"…How did you say all this without batting an eyelid?"

Heya even heard admiration in Duan Mingyuan's tone, as if he was introducing an aspiring young man to someone familiar.

This is indeed a lofty ideal.

It was much greater than most of the lives she knew. Even the Zerg in another star region had never thought of destroying the entire universe. For a young person who had just been born, this was indeed precious...

Huh?
Heya's thoughts were interrupted.

How did she get led astray by Duan Mingyuan?

This is probably Duan Mingyuan's most special charm. On the surface, he looks like a normal and serious person, but his way of thinking is very unique.

"So you packed it and sent it into the space crack for the purpose of revenge."

The mechanical maid summarized based on Duan Mingyuan's narration.

This opened up her mind. She had been trying to find ways to destroy 1721, but moving it somewhere else or sealing it up might be a simpler approach.

“No, this is an affirmation of young people.”

Duan Mingyuan felt that the judge must have misunderstood. He was not angry, and it was definitely not for revenge. Since 1721 had set killing him as the next stage of his life goal, it would inevitably take a long upgrade process. Although this young man had a lot of ideas and the ability to become a hero, he had hardly developed his own talents and energy.

As the old saying goes, young people should not rush for success. This battle is still too far away for 1721.

Duan Mingyuan is looking forward to the day when 1721 fully develops his talent. Only then will he be able to figure out the path of the energy deep in the "black hole".

It's like a judge.

It has grown fully, and Duan Mingyuan can understand everything about it through the changes in energy.

"Now that the 1721 issue has been resolved, we should find some time to sit down and talk about the digital space."

Duan Mingyuan felt that his work on the Prison Star had come to an end, and he had no intention of refut- ing Eisenberg's theory.

All the information he has learned about the "black hole" so far shows that the "cocoon" that exists in it is extremely powerful. Once it is possible to carry energy away from the "black hole", people will face the fate of destruction.

"The strongest in history."

Such a label seems to be very consistent with its identity.

If we follow some of the rules of current works, the strongest of the contemporary era will often pale in comparison to the strongest in history. Just as Duan Mingyuan said, no one knows what will happen in the future. Perhaps one day, people will really need a safe haven in the digital world.

However, the Prison Star is still a long way from being a real safe haven.

First of all, it is a bridge connecting the real and digital worlds. It should not be a place where you can only enter but not exit.

Then comes the transformation of the environment. Since it is a safe haven, more and more ordinary residents will live here in the future. Those prison areas used to torture prisoners are obviously not suitable for ordinary residents to settle here.

More importantly, it is the basic tutorial.

Although the digital world looks very similar to the real world, it follows another set of rules that are closer to the virtual world, which is much simpler and more convenient than the real world.

Just like just now, he only needed to stand there to help 1721 make a set of novice equipment.

“In short, we are here to help you build this place.”

"you?"

The mechanical maid's eyes were full of suspicion. It was hard for her to imagine that a terrorist who could blow up the entire consciousness space claimed to be here to help it build a home.

Could it be that Duan Mingyuan wants to build this place into a missile base?
"It's not just me. One person's power is extremely limited."

Duan Mingyuan has a deep understanding of this. For example, when it comes to the Internet and games, his knowledge reserves are far less than that of Jiuyue, who often surfs the Internet.

Jiu Yue has amazing concentration. She can sit in front of the computer and play games for a whole day without taking a break, but Duan Mingyuan can hardly last more than two hours.

In addition to his declining energy due to age, he also has to face the fact that someone is always throwing debris around in the game, and this behavior always forces him to temporarily leave the computer and stand in front of the window to look at the scenery in the distance.

They didn't mean it.

Duan Mingyuan always comforts himself in this way.

"I am going to solemnly recommend to you an excellent builder whose talent in this area is even inferior to mine."
