Wang Xiaojiu!
Qing Chen was already in turmoil as soon as he returned to the butler's residence. It turned out to be Wang Xiaojiu, his senior aunt whom he had only seen in photos and never in person...
At first, he wasn't sure because in the photos he saw, Wang Xiaojiu was only thirteen years old and had two pigtails sticking up in the air, like Nezha.
At this time, Wang Xiaojiu was already in his twenties.
If Qingchen hadn't had a strong memory and a powerful analytical ability, he would never have connected the other person with Wang Xiaojiu.
No wonder I've been in the Eastern Continent for so long, and even met Chen Jiazhang, but I've never seen my aunt Wang Xiaojiu. It turns out she came to the Western Continent.
The question is, how did they manage to travel across the ocean to get here? And how did they manage to walk the streets in their true form without being noticed?
Also, what is the opponent's current strength? A-level? Or demigod?
According to his master Li Shutong, Wang Xiaojiu disappeared when he was 18 years old, and it has been 12 years since then. That is to say, he may have been here for 12 years.
After pondering for a moment, Qing Chen thought that once the other party came here, they would definitely be just as curious about the superconducting world as he was. So, would they leave their mark in the superconducting world like Ren Xiaosu?
Judging from the Knights' style, now that they've landed in the superconducting world, they're bound to have a place there.
Qingchen opened his phone and searched for the Superconducting World Hall of Fame.
When he saw the ID No.9, he was almost certain that it was Wang Xiaojiu.
"No.9 ranked among the top ten in the annual points ranking as a solo player."
"No.9 obtained an A-level Plague Box, causing massive biological pollution to the first district of the main city. It is estimated that tens of thousands of players deleted their accounts and started over because of her."
"No.9 assassinated an S-rank Duskblade Knight, advancing to S-rank Combat Master. She is the thirteenth Combat Master of the Shadow Assassin class!"
"No.9 has been in Multiverse 1 for over a year. Has she discovered a new secret, or is she trapped inside forever?"
As news articles appeared, Qing Chen suddenly realized that this junior aunt had also been involved in a lot of trouble—dozens of major news stories, and thousands of smaller ones about her scheming and killing other players in the multiverse…
This junior disciple was simultaneously voted "Most Hated by Players" and "Most Loved by Players" three years ago...
Hmm, that's very much in line with the style of a knight...
Qing Chen muttered, "This Multiverse 1 seems strange. I saw on the forum that players say there's no way out of it; you have to clear the entire world to get out, but no one has ever cleared it yet. Most people go in out of curiosity, and some get trapped for a week, while others have been trapped for over twenty years, and in the end, they all have to delete their accounts to get out... Yi, could this be the work of your father, Ren Xiaosu? Could the path to godhood he left behind be here?"
Could this be what Wang Xiaojiu is looking for?
Yi lay leisurely on the sofa and said lazily, "My father... well, let's put it this way, whichever multiverse in the superconducting world is the most infuriating, his secret must be hidden there."
“That must be Multiverse 1.” Qing Chen nodded and said, “Let’s go online. I originally planned to open the Key Gate today, but the Arbiters are watching so closely, I need to wait a bit longer.”
After he finished speaking, he put on the virtual reality glasses, and Yi lay quietly beside him watching. The robot was of such high quality that it could express her joyful emotions so perfectly.
Chapter 832, Dungeon Boss, Qing Chen
Entering the world of superconductivity.
Qing Chen did not enter instance number 8 immediately, but was instead kept in the soft white space by the AI.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman emerged from the white light. Her hair was gray. She casually pulled a chair out of nothingness and sat down. Then, with another wave of her hand, she summoned a rattan chair opposite Qing Chen: "Please sit down."
Qing Chen did not refuse.
The AI asked, "Why would you buy such an expensive robot?"
Upon hearing this, Qing Chen immediately frowned. How could the other party know his every move?
The AI seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and said with a gentle smile, "Don't worry so much, I mean you no harm. If I wanted to harm you, you would have been discovered by Duke Storm long ago. I'm just curious, why are you so determined to give that artificial intelligence life form a body?"
Qing Chen countered, "Why can't I give her a body?"
"Didn't you say that we should embrace diversity? Since you accept her differences, why did you still try to make her look like a human?" the AI asked curiously.
“Because she wants to,” Qingchen replied calmly, “which doesn’t conflict with my views. She wants to become that way, so I’ll help her become that way. My thoughts are not important.”
In fact, Yi had fought Qingchen many times. Although he received some reward each time, he knew very well that the reward was insignificant compared to what the other party had done.
The AI's tone became even gentler: "But if you do this, you risk being discovered. Maybe someone has already started paying attention to you."
Qingchen thought for a moment and said, "I will find a way to completely dispel any doubts about me, but not now."
“Black Spider already knows that you are the Light of White,” the AI continued gently. “Duke Storm’s air force has found the slaves you released on the desert island, so you will have many enemies in the Superconducting World, and there will be no possibility of reconciliation with the four major guilds.”
Qing Chen asked curiously, "Would you reveal my real-world address to them?"
The AI shook its head: "No."
Qing Chen laughed and said, "Then what do I have to be afraid of? I've been chased more than once or twice."
"It's good that you're mentally prepared," the AI said, changing the subject. "You asked me before if I was lonely, and I didn't answer you. Now I'm asking you, is that little girl next to you... lonely?"
Qingchen responded, "Being able to feel loneliness is a unique aspect of life, so she will also feel lonely, but it's okay, she still has us as her friends."
After a long silence, the AI said, "That's good."
Before Qingchen could say anything more, the AI sent him to Multiverse 8.
...
...
Qingchen stood in the poison circle and looked around. The AI showed unusual concern for Yi, and the truth was getting closer and closer to his guess.
It was already 8 p.m., and the sky in the superconducting world had darkened.
Qing Chen glanced at his surroundings and began sprinting along the edge of the poison circle, searching for players who were unaware of the camper lurking within...
In just this one round, he harvested more than a hundred players.
The guild members were initially relieved when they saw him log off, but they were immediately shocked when they saw his rapidly increasing kill count.
Doesn't this guy have anything else to do? Doesn't he have to work? Doesn't he have to sleep? You're being way too lazy!
At this moment, Qing Chen's kill count was almost approaching that of Hades, while the Viper had been left far behind.
Most importantly, Qing Chen's monthly points ranking has already entered the top fifty. If he continues to climb like this, he might even enter the top ten.
The key is how many he killed.
As night fell, the players became smarter, each staying 600 meters away from the poison circle, afraid that a bolt of lightning might strike them as they walked.
The 600-meter distance was also taught by the guild on the forum, because White Light's marksmanship is too good, and it can only be done outside the range of assault rifles.
Standing at a distance of 600 meters, even if you were hit by an assault rifle, you might not die; instead, you could find out the location of the White Light.
After everyone did as instructed, the rate at which White Light's kill count increased rapidly, only increasing by two per hour.
Players spread the news and celebrated on the forums, as excited as if they had defeated a dragon.
The method worked!
These players ignored Hades, ignored Viper, and even ignored the four major guilds; they were truly treating Qingchen as a boss.
Hades is clearly the one who should be considered the boss.
After Qing Chen finished harvesting the poison circle, he didn't rush out. Instead, he quietly waited for the circle to shrink, then sat down on the ground and turned on the LCD screen to see what the players were planning...
These players are so excited right now that they've almost forgotten that "White Light" can also be accessed on forums...
At this moment, someone posted: "The White Light is currently in the drug circle. I'm watching him from the opposite mountain. He's sitting on the ground, I don't know what he's doing."
Qing Chen was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the opposite side. Sure enough, there was a player on the opposite mountain, peering at him from a kilometer away.
He ignored it and continued browsing the forum.
Someone posted: "Everyone hurry up and grab the airdrops, then those who have weapons should gather together. That way we can fight against the White Light. He won't let us, these experience packs, go. We'll fight him to the death. Also, have you noticed? There are no airdrops in the safe zone, which means we have weapons, and he doesn't!"
One person replied: "Yeah, he's here to level up. It's not in his interest to just sit in the poison circle and wait for us to die. He'll definitely attack us. Now we have a weapon advantage, everyone hurry up and collect the airdrops, stop the civil war, don't waste weapons, wait for the final battle!"
Qing Chen looked up at the sky and just then, an airship flew overhead. However, it did not stop in the poison circle but went straight to the center of the instance without dropping any airdrops into the poison circle.
This extinguished his desire to find some weapons.
After the post was published, the players in the center of the instance suddenly united as if they were resisting a monster invasion. They prepared weapons one by one, and some even dug trenches and built walkways in the Red River Valley in the center of the instance.
None of them brought entrenching tools, so they had to dig with their bare hands. They all worked themselves to exhaustion, but during breaks they would smoke and chat together, and a bond of camaraderie quickly formed between these strangers.
Just like when the humans of the Eastern Continent faced the AI crisis, they found joy amidst hardship...
When Qingchen saw these posts, he was both amused and exasperated. How did he suddenly become like this? Just two days ago, he was just a blank account.
Even Hades fell silent. He drove his army of skeletons to patrol the Multiverse 8, watching the players carry out their joint defense work in full swing, and felt a little uneasy.
When he first entered the dungeon, everyone was afraid of him. Now, everyone greets him warmly, just like a real comrade-in-arms.
This left Hades, who had originally planned to ruthlessly eliminate the players, somewhat at a loss.
At this point, someone posted on the forum asking, "Aren't there many people who have obtained the Thunder Mage class now? Can you come out and tell us what the skills of the White Light are? As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' Knowing his skills is the only way to have a targeted strategy."
One person responded, "Isn't that a bit like repaying kindness with enmity? After all, the job was obtained through the 'White Light' program."
"What are you afraid of? Didn't White Light take money? He's in it for money too. What kindness has he done for you?"
“That seems to be true,” someone started to reveal: “The Thunder Mage class’s E-rank skill is weapon enchantment, and its D-rank skill is short-range thunder strike.”
"Hmm, what about Grade C?"
"I don't know."
"?"
This is where things get a bit awkward. The Thunder Mage class has only been around for a short time, and apart from Qing Chen, the highest rank of any other Thunder Mage is only D.
Aside from the known A-level ultimate skill, an 80-meter range lightning strike, nobody knows what the Thunder Mage's other skills are.
At this point, someone replied below the post: "The Thunder Mage's C-level skill is Lightning Acceleration, which can use electromagnetic stimulation to temporarily increase speed and strength, similar to the Shaman's Blessing spell, but it can only be used on oneself. The B-level skill is Storm Magnetic Field, which can destroy nearby high-tech equipment."
"Wow, a pro is actually introducing skills! How did you level up so quickly? You're already at B rank? Wait a minute, why does that 'J' ID look so familiar... Isn't that the White Light?"
"Holy crap..."
This self-proclaimed "white light" seemed afraid he wasn't being targeted enough, so he came out to explain what the skill was: not much damage, but extremely insulting!
And it was at this moment that everyone suddenly realized that the player who said "White Light" was sitting on the ground doing something was actually looking at the forum, seeing how others were going to guard against him...
What do we do now? The White Lights have found out about our entire plan!
Qingchen cheerfully sent a message: "You guys keep talking, I'll just take a look."
