Matrix saving Earth and humanity?
Everyone thought that Phoenix Mountain’s idea was sowhat far-fetched.
If the Matrix was truly ant to save lives before an unspeakable cataclysm arrived, then what about the old players surviving in the Outer City?
A few who knew about the Outer City wondered if those old players were actually survivors of the cataclysm, with their worlds destroyed and the Matrix as their last refuge?
Li Zheng felt a stir in his heart. This theory... it doesn’t seem wrong!
It even seems reasonable.
But what about the forr players who left?
He rembered that Luo Aiman once said that an entire batch of players from the Outer City had left the Matrix!
Where did they go?
Did they defeat the cataclysm and return to normal life?
Or were they wiped out by the cataclysm?
Li Zheng felt it was likely the latter.
Because if they had defeated the cataclysm, then it couldn’t possibly approach Earth.
At this mont, Li Zheng felt like he might have touched upon the true nature of the Matrix!
"These matters aren’t sothing we can know for now. Wild speculation will only add to our worries." Li Zheng said, "Moreover, hasn’t the Matrix already announced? The next event is an entertainnt event. If the so-called cataclysm truly exists as we say, it probably won’t arrive for a long ti."
Otherwise, would the Terminal have the leisure to host an entertainnt event?
That’s ridiculous!
"Exactly." Zhan Zhouzhou also said, "Regardless of the outco, it’s too early to worry. The imdiate priority is to take care of ourselves, keep getting stronger, and survive."
As long as you live long enough, you’ll eventually find out the truth.
Everyone nodded, yet they all seed visibly worried.
"By the way!" Li Zheng suddenly rembered sothing and asked, "Old Xiao, do the players on Channel 879 know about the Ancient Ruins?"
"Lin told about it right after she got back yesterday." Xiao Siyuan nodded, "I imdiately sent out a notice for everyone to do a self-check. We identified a few suspected infected ones, and... Chen Guanghan has gone mad, driven insane by rage."
Chen Guanghan?
Li Zheng was taken aback, suddenly rembering that this was Ye Yuan’s little bootlicker, wasn’t it?
How in such a short ti, has he already...
"It’s all fate; haven’t we seen enough life and death since we ca here?" Ye Kai said, "Instead of mourning the deceased, we should care more about those still living. Old Li, you brought up the issue of negative emotions; is there a way to solve it?"
"There is a way." Li Zheng thought for a mont and said, "Kunlun has already tracked a special rchant who can sell tools to suppress negative emotions. I’ll gather the numbers and types of negative emotions affected among us, and I’ll purchase so from over there to distribute."
As he spoke, Li Zheng thought about it—Nine Heavens also knew about this issue; he wondered if they had found a solution.
Perhaps he should notify the people from Nine Heavens.
Later, he inford Tang Qianzang about the situation, and the reply was that communication had been done with Liu Qi, and the transactions were completed.
"It’s unfortunate for those scattered players not affiliated with any organization; once infected with negative emotions, they might die unbeknownst, or go mad." Xiao Siyuan sighed deeply.
Dragon Country is one of the world’s most populous nations, and apart from Kunlun and Nine Heavens, there are many small organizations... or rather, many small corps.
They have no backing, and their intelligence systems aren’t well-developed. Much information large corps know is like a cloud to them.
God knows how many unknowingly got infected with negative emotions without realizing.
At this ti, Lu Li’s serious expression suddenly shifted, and he cheerfully said, "Players from our channel more or less know a few people from other channels, or they even have direct relatives in other channels."
"Why don’t we have them relay the information through private ssages, and we could even enlist the help of Kunlun and Nine Heavens to spread the word."
"I believe in no ti, the whole Matrix will know about this."
"Oh, wait!"
Lu Li shifted his tone again, with a pensive look: "Among players, friendship often outweighs rules, so the news about negative emotions might already be widely known."
In the Matrix, the confidentiality of exchanging information is very high, almost impossible to discover.
Once players get hold of so news, even if just one person spreads it selflessly, it will go from one to a hundred, and a hundred to a thousand, until everyone knows.
So Li Zheng’s worries about unorganized players are entirely unnecessary because Dragon Country people are humble about everything except being cunning, which they never concede to anyone.
Li Chun suddenly said, "Look at the world channel; soone is using information about solving negative emotions to recruit people into a corps!"
Li Zheng opened the world channel and found a bunch of corps using this trick to recruit mbers, mostly Dragon Country players.
"Damn! I suddenly feel like a mother worrying endlessly about her son, only to find out he’s grown up and started a company, thriving on his own." Li Zheng wondered when did Dragon Country players beco so flamboyant all of a sudden?
"Haha..." Liu Jiale suddenly chuckled twice," This scene reminds of an online survival ga I used to play. Initially, foreign players tead up to bully us Dragon Country people, trying to drive us out. Once the news broke, a large number of people who didn’t play the ga before bought it specifically, logged in, and united, all wearing red shirts, and blew up those servers one by one."
"Speaking of unity, without a corps system before, Dragon Country players were scattered. Now that the corps system is out... hehe."
Liu Jiale didn’t know what ca to mind, laughing heartily, "Just watch, in the next group event, our Dragon Country people will definitely sweep all the rewards!"
Unity is strength.
This phrase is not just a lyric but a concept deeply embedded in Dragon Country people’s bones, accompanied by the song lyrics.
Li Zheng and the others admired the recruitnt information on the world channel for a while, realizing that in order to recruit enough experts, many corps had brought out their treasured items.
For a ti, a myriad of flowers blossod!
Many items that were once hidden and traded in secret were brought to the forefront, dazzling everyone.
The new batch of novice players, represented by Lin Longxuan, were all astonished. They all believed Gold level was the current limit, but it was just an illusion!
Lin Longxuan even saw that a few corps leaders brought out a small amount of Diamond Level tools just to recruit so experts to join.
At this mont, Lin Longxuan suddenly wanted to find a hole to crawl into because he rembered that not long ago, when Li Zheng contacted him, he had the nerve to think Li Zheng was seeking to recruit him.
Considering he’s just a Silver Level newbie, probably no corps would take him even if he begged.
"Sothing’s wrong, sothing’s wrong! These people have all gone down the wrong path!"
Ye Yuan, who had been unusually quiet today, suddenly beca excited, jumping and shouting, "Look carefully at the system announcent just released!"
"The key point is the adjustnt of difficulty!"
