Chapter 648 The Mysterious Tower

Demon Continent, Eastern Capital, Hunter School.

"6-5-2, riding."

"3-7-1, lieutenant general."

"...Well, it can't be done!"

In front of the desk, the burly bearded middle-aged man shook his head and pushed the dead chess piece, expressing his surrender, and said with emotion: "Sure enough, a young man like you, Mr. Aizen, can master this kind of new thing quickly, and you are no match at all."

With a natural four-six hairstyle and a youthful face, Aizen smiled modestly: "It's because I don't do my job properly and spend more time on military ceremonies."

"Haha, don't say that. In the team led by Mr. Lan Ran in the past two years, the proportion of trainee hunters promoted to lower-level hunters is the highest. If you say that you are not doing your job properly, other teachers may not like to hear it." Dong Du The principal of the Hunter School and the former alternate god Hunter King Lu laughed.

Speaking of Aizen in front of him, his views have changed several times from the beginning to the present.

At first, it was not very attractive.

From the perspective of talent, Aizen is an out-and-out genius, and he also got a ride on the supernatural medicine. He awakened his supernatural power at the age of 19 and became a member of the number hunters.

Although numbered hunters are not as valuable as they used to be, they are not bad street. Lan Ran started as the second vice president of the hunter guild in a third-tier city.

Unexpectedly, when the deputy became a regular, Aizen suddenly resigned from the Hunter's Guild and applied to be transferred to the Hunter School as an ordinary teacher.

Where is Hunter School?

Although it is the key to cultivating the next generation, under the threat of monsters, teachers are basically the kind who don't have much potential, have little room for improvement, are not good at fighting, or have been injured like him and their strength is not improving. Steadily retreating hunters are in charge.

Aizen's behavior looked like a 'deserter' to his old hunter.

But when he got along with him later, he found that this young man was humble and polite, and handled everything in an orderly manner. Whether it was interpersonal relationships or teaching stability, he was outstanding.

So I gradually appreciate it, and now I feel that the other party is "gold, it can shine everywhere"!

"I don't know why the general guild suddenly promotes this very niche chess game."

Wang Lu shook his head, pushed Junyi aside, and took out a letter: "I didn't ask you to play chess with me. Teacher Lanran, guess what's inside?"

"Is it from the research institute?" Lan Ran's face showed a sense of anticipation from a young man.

"Haha, you boy, did you just go to the research institute when you applied for transfer to the school?"

"No no no..."

"It's okay, it's a pity that you stay in school all your life, and this is just a notice for advanced studies. I think Mr. Lan Ran should be able to balance the relationship between his own study and teaching. After all, you have time to study military rituals." recorded a joke.

Aizen accepted the notice with both hands.

Wang Lu continued: "And you have a good vision, and you really want to do something practical. Most people don't want to apply to be Associate Professor Wu Sen's student and live a life of working with dirt all day."

This Professor Wu Sen was just an ordinary farmer six or seven years ago. After decades of farming, he summed up a lot of experience.

One of them has promotional value, almost doubling the yield of buckwheat per mu, so it was immediately rewarded and recruited by the Hunter's Guild.

In the past few years, in addition to promoting the cultivation of buckwheat, a coarse grain, he has contributed to two similar improvements and obtained the title of associate professor.

Although his contribution is not small, but his education level is very low. The researchers of the institute will respect him, but they feel that the possibility of his breakthrough in the future is very low, and the work is very hard, so he applied for it. very little.

However, in the eyes of a well-informed old hunter like Wang Lu who has served as the principal of the Hunter School for more than ten years, he naturally knows that everything is by chance. If you can make a big one, it will be difficult to follow in the future.

Lan Ran didn't shy away from it, and opened the letter directly in front of Wang Lu to read it, and thanked Wang Lu after reading it.

Wang Lu waved his hand to signal no, and said, "I wish Mr. Lanran some achievements in agriculture."

"Thank you, principal, for your kind words."

Aizen smiled and resigned, walked out of the principal's office and put the letter in his arms.

'Hehe, Associate Professor Wu Sen...'

On the other side, associate professor 'Wu Sen', who looks like an ordinary old man in his 60s, is still a little confused while walking in the fields.

"Lanran? Isn't this Ji Xing's person? I didn't go to his side, why did he come to me on his own initiative? Did Ji Xing mean it?"

After receiving Ji Xing's 'practice reminder', the God of Ancient Trees, whose alias was Wu Sen, felt inexplicable: "Yes, Ji Xing didn't know that Bai Ling and I knew about Lan Ran, and wanted to use this to plot something? ?

Hehe, naive, even if you are behind you, it is just a young hunter, communicate with the white antelope and let them do what they want. "

...

"Let him do what he wants."

Shu probably didn't know that Ji Xing knew that Lan Ran applied to him later than him.

After bringing Aizen to the Demon Continent for eight years, Aizen has always had autonomy and freedom. Ji Xing basically did not interfere with any of his actions, and Aizen is not someone who needs Ji Xing to worry about.

In the case of not worrying about betrayal, Aizen is a hole card when needed, and let him enjoy the world when he doesn't need it.

During this period of time, Ji Xing has been more concerned about military equipment. According to his investigation, this kind of chess, which he thought was unique to the Hunter World, has been passed down in the Demon Continent for an unknown amount of time.

Just like chess and go, the identity of the inventor is unknown, but it is very small.

Now, because of his interest, it has been greatly promoted. As the father of supernatural medicine, Li He's prestige is too high.

"In this case, it doesn't look like there are senior traversers. It's strange. Some of the habits of military instruments are Japanese." Insufficient information, Ji Xing can only make some groundless guesses based on what he knows.

In another seven years, maybe they will know?

He paid attention to the other half of consciousness.

[Estimated remaining time for intrusion: 0 day 0 hour 23 minutes 18 seconds]

Before he knew it, the three months were almost over, and Ji Xing was about to know what happened to the Invasion World!

...

Tower of Mystery, first floor.

The initial town, Black Iron Palace.

The chestnut-haired girl in a cloak and with oil paint like a mouse's beard on her face was standing in front of a huge black stone tablet in a daze.

"In the blink of an eye, it's been two and a half years."

Suddenly, she let out a long sigh.

Her name is Argo, she was originally a girl with severe internet addiction, she made a living by playing games, she worked as an information dealer in various online games, she had a small reputation.

With the development of science and technology, a few years ago, the virtual reality technology NERDLES gradually matured. Later, quantum physicist and game designer Akihiko Kayaba brought this technology into application and developed the first civilian machine NERvGear, a virtual reality machine. The environment game SAO Sword Art Online came into being.

Fortunately, Argo snatched one of the 1,000 closed beta qualifications, experienced the game in advance, and naturally became one of the 10,000 public beta players. He put on the helmet at the first time of the public beta two and a half years ago. In this first virtual reality game to flex its muscles.

As a result, paranormal phenomena happened!

Cannot be explained by scientific principles.

No one could have predicted it.

Like a joke made by the gods, the 10,000 players wearing helmets were enveloped by a strange force, and the world disappeared on the spot.

Then came to this mysterious tower.

It is very similar to the world of Aincrad in the SAO game. It is a 100-story tower. As long as the player goes through each level and clears the 100th floor, he can clear the game and get rewards.

But this mysterious tower is far bigger than the world of Aincrad, and the difficulty is even more exaggerated.

The first 20 floors are the novice area. From the 21st floor, the difficulty increases in circles. Every time the difficulty is multiplied by 5, the difficulty increases again. The players experience the extraordinary power, but they are also tortured to death. According to her You know, the cutting-edge strategy team has been stuck on the 50th floor of a big level for two months, and so far they haven't even found the door of the boss.

Judging by this speed, the later 50th floor, which is more difficult, may take another ten or eight years, and maybe it will take half of my life here.

And at this moment, she is standing here at the stele, in order to wait for new players.

Although the players act in the mysterious tower with real bodies, if they die, they will not really die. Except for certain monsters and traps, at the moment of death, players are protected by the power that sent them, teleporting back to where they came from.

Lost everything in the game, unable to return to this mysterious 'game', only retaining the memory here, like a long dream.

So the real side has already understood the situation here, and most people are excited and fanatical about conquering this mysterious tower.

'Dead' players can no longer enter the game, and the helmets are vacant. In addition to the helmets of 10,000 beta testers, there are also 300,000+ helmets produced by the same batch for sale, which also have the ability to send people to the mysterious tower. Effect.

It's just that the subsequent production of helmets does not have such an effect, and 300,000+ is still not enough.

The military and the consortium have taken action. The players here have been rotated many times. Although they still maintain a number of 300,000+, at least 3 million people have experienced it. The original batch of players is probably long gone. How much did you download?

This is also the reason why she is not very optimistic about the strategy for the last 50 floors. 3 million people have spent their lives exploring to get past the first 49 floors. How many young and middle-aged people can play this game and are good at playing games?

The quality of 'new players' is getting worse.

And because a unique "resurrection grass" was discovered on the 46th floor not long ago, it can revive the player within half an hour of death. mortality rate.

Coupled with the fact that more and more helmets are being controlled by powerful forces, new casual players are even rarer.

All kinds of reasons superimposed, the person in charge who was always waiting in front of the initial stele recording the names of all the players, and the first time to recruit new players on behalf of the guild, and her information brokers are becoming less and less, and there is no one around.

She was standing here foolishly because she thought that there were no people buying information, no new information, and there was no date to make a shot.

Just as he was thinking about another fruitless day, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a name being generated at the end of the stele.

'Ji Xing'.

Got it? !

In a flash, Argo turned around and rushed out of the Black Iron Palace, looking towards the Primordial Square.

A figure is emerging there.

Argo looked at the past, his eyes gradually straightened, and his inner emotions can only be summed up in words.

'Why... so tall and so strong? ! '

3k2, two updates today, and one more, it will be late.
