Zhang Yuanqing was about to speak when the office door knocked twice. The three turned their heads to see Wang Tai holding a computer standing at the door, asking, "Can I come in and listen?"
After he finished speaking, he didn't say anything else and waited for a response.
Li Dongze pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "Come in and help Yuanqing with the strategy report while you're at it."
Wang Tai breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't one to join in on the fun, but the S-level She Ling Tunnel, as a bug in the Night Tour God's trial in the spiritual realm, was a good topic. He couldn't resist the temptation to eavesdrop.
After considering for a moment, Zhang Yuanqing began to recount his experiences in the Mountain God Temple to the others after Wang Tai took a seat.
He omitted the function of the Demon Subduing Staff and only mentioned it as a tool that could restrain Yin creatures. As for the Red Dancing Shoes, he also vaguely explained that he was trained by his uncle since childhood and was proficient in singing, dancing, and rap, with an amazing memory, so he barely managed to decipher the rules of the shoes.
Of course, he concealed the exclusive rewards of the character card, as it would expose that he had obtained the Red Dancing Shoes. The omission of key information was a hint he received from Guan Ya.
Rule-based props were extremely precious, and it was unlikely that the Five Elements Alliance would exchange them for only 500 yuan and a small flag, but one had to be cautious.
As for the resurrection of the San Dao Mountain Goddess, he planned to discuss it separately later.
During this process, Wang Tai typed away on his computer while listening.
After patiently listening to the story, Li Dongze stroked the handle of his cane and said, "That tool that restrains Yin creatures should be a reward for completing the level, and it must be a high-level tool."
Guan Ya quickly laughed and scolded him, "You brat, an S-level trial task would never only reward a little bit of experience points."
She was educating Zhang Yuanqing that lying required nine truths and one lie, not to overdo it.
Zhang Yuanqing's smile remained unchanged as he said, "Oh, I forgot to mention the tool. The tool is indeed a reward for completing the level."
Li Dongze didn't pay much attention and continued, "From this perspective, the difficulty level of the She Ling Tunnel will decrease."
"Why do you say that?" Zhang Yuanqing asked, confused.
Li Dongze patiently explained, "We joke that the spiritual realm is a game, but joking is still joking. In the spiritual realm, props are rare and each one is unique and cannot be duplicated. Since you brought out that tool, the part where we have to kill the tree demon may disappear, and the difficulty of the She Ling Tunnel will naturally decrease."
While Li Dongze was drinking, Guan Ya added, "And your Red Dancing Shoes will also become the target of other walkers, as there aren't many people who can decipher the rules."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded and secretly became wary.
Suddenly, Wang Tai interjected, "By the way, I heard that there have been some problems within the Five Elements Alliance recently. It seems that someone is secretly selling rule-based props. Do you know about this?"
The three looked at each other, all unaware of this news.
Li Dongze frowned and said, "We can't let this kind of thing go. We need to investigate it thoroughly."
Guan Ya nodded in agreement, saying that she would investigate the matter as soon as possible.
Zhang Yuanqing began to think that this matter might be related and needed to pay more attention to it."As for the knowledge of the Lingjing copy, let me tell you, the difficulty of the Lingjing copy is constantly adjusted. For example, if you conquer the Mountain God Temple and take away the props inside, then its difficulty will inevitably decrease. Or if you die in the Lingjing, your props will be obtained by the strange things in the Lingjing, making it more powerful, and then the difficulty of the Lingjing will increase. The Red Dancing Shoes are the best example.
"Also, different levels in the same Lingjing will receive different tasks. I once went to a wilderness survival Lingjing and read the strategy in advance. In the copy, the senior was a hunter and the task was to hunt down nine criminals in the jungle. But when I entered the Lingjing, I found that I was just one of the nine criminals, and the task required me to survive for 36 hours, because my level was lower than the senior's. Therefore, strategy can only be used as a reference, to let us understand the copy and know some basic information and dangers."
"It won't decrease." Wang Tai said, "Because the Red Dancing Shoes are still there."
Guan Ya and Li Dongze glanced at Zhang Yuanqing, keeping silent.
Wang Tai continued, oblivious to the awkwardness he caused, "It's a bit strange. This kind of data, this kind of gain, this kind of information, doesn't match the difficulty of S-level. Are you hiding something?"
This was too direct. You will make everyone feel embarrassed... Zhang Yuanqing coughed and said, "I am not hiding anything. I was just about to say that there was a tree demon in the cave, and also a stone coffin."
Search bit.ly/3iBfjkV for the original.
"What's in the stone coffin?" Li Dongze leaned forward, his tone urgent.
Wang Tai also stopped typing.
Guan Ya was full of curiosity.
S-level Lingjing usually accompanies some important information, which may be a shocking secret.
Official organizations, private organizations, and even evil organizations, half of their knowledge of Lingjing comes from observing and summarizing rules, and the other half comes from the information obtained in Lingjing.
Thus, step by step, unlocking the secrets of Lingjing.
No Lingjing walker can resist this temptation.
"There are three Mountain Goddesses lying in the stone coffin. After I opened the coffin, she...she woke up..." Zhang Yuanqing still felt scared when he recalled it.
Li Dongze's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed, "She woke up?"
He stood up suddenly, unable to sit still, and paced back and forth in the office, frowning.
After a while, Li Dongze said solemnly, "Perhaps we have all guessed wrong. According to the relevant information about that goddess, she must be a high-level night wandering god. Now that she has awakened, there are only two possibilities.
"First, the Mountain God Temple will undergo earth-shaking changes and is no longer a night wandering god trial Lingjing, but a high-level Lingjing copy.
"Second, the Mountain God Temple remains downgraded, but with the level of that goddess, there will inevitably be new, high-level Lingjing copies appearing.""To the high-level members of Taiyi Men, the changing of the spiritual realm related to their own profession is an extremely important piece of information."
Guan Ya envied, saying:
"The more important the information, the greater the reward the organization will give you."
They give a lot of money? Zhang Yuanqing was pleasantly surprised, but then worriedly said:
"That old hag who's been dead for hundreds of years still smiles at me. I always feel like she's going to come find me. It doesn't put my mind at ease."
If the Banyan Tree Spirit wasn't lying, then the Demon-Sealing Pestle contains half of the Empress's Yang Soul. She will definitely come find him.
However, Zhang Yuanqing didn't mention this to his colleagues.
Wang Tai sincerely comforted him, saying:
"Don't be so confident. With your level, you won't encounter such big shots."
"If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all..." Zhang Yuanqing gratefully nodded, feeling comforted by his words.
Guan Ya smiled and asked:
"Is the Empress beautiful?"
Zhang Yuanqing turned to look at her. "More beautiful than you."
Wang Tai added sincerely, "And she has more research value than you."
The Old Siji was furious. "Get lost!"
.......
In a quadrangle courtyard in the capital city.
The sun was shining brightly, and the big pagoda tree was bathed in sunlight, its leaves shimmering with a rainbow of colors.
A gust of wind blew, shaking the branches and leaves and causing the sound of children's laughter.
Under the pagoda tree, Sun Zhanglao was shaking his fan and swaying gently in his rocking chair. On the table next to him were tea sets and an old-fashioned radio.
A middle-aged man in black hurriedly stepped over the threshold and walked into the courtyard, whispering:
"Sun Zhanglao, there's news from Songhai that someone has passed through the She Ling Tunnel Spiritual Realm."
The swaying fan stopped abruptly, and the old man with white hair suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out two dazzling golden lights. The children's voices in the pagoda tree seemed to be frightened and let out a cry, then fell silent.
The old man sat up from his rocking chair and stared at the middle-aged man. "The Night-Walking God recruited by the Fu family?"
The middle-aged man nodded.
The old man was suddenly stunned, and he slapped his thigh with his fan, lamenting:
"I was blind, blind..."
The last time the middle-aged man saw Sun Zhanglao so regretful was when he was playing the stock market.
The old man fell silent for a moment and said:
"I remember, the manager of Kangyang District in Songhai City is named Yuan Ting. Notify him that this matter must not be leaked. Otherwise, where will I put my old face?"
"But..."
"But what?"
The middle-aged man was about to answer when his phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and looked at it. "It's a call from Black Mountain Elder."
"Answer it."
When the phone was answered, the other end roared, "Sun Zhanglao, what are you doing? Not only did you secretly give away the copy of the She Ling Tunnel, but you also promised Fu Qingyang not to take that Night-Walking God. Do you know how big of a mistake you've made?"Sun Zhanglao hesitated for a second: "How did you know, you old bastard?"
"What do you care how I know? Do you know how long it's been since Taiyi Men recruited a talented Night Traveler? I'm going to complain to the leader now."
The phone hung up.
Sun Zhanglao's forehead veins bulged.
At this time, the phone rang again, and the middle-aged man looked at it:
"Hongying Elder."
"Answer it..."
"Uncle Sun, I heard that She Ling Tunnel has been conquered? Did you name the Night Traveler responsible?"
"......"
"Uncle Sun, you owe an apology for this."
"......"
......
"Sun Zhanglao, I heard that you rejected a Night Traveler genius?"
"You bastard, when did it become your job as a steward to interrogate me?"
"Ah, Sun Zhanglao, don't misunderstand, I'm just curious."
......
"Sun Zhanglao, I heard that you..."
"Get lost!"
He received five or six calls in a few minutes.
The black-clothed middle-aged man silently looked at Sun Zhanglao. The last time he lost control like this was when he was trading stocks with leverage.
Sun Zhanglao took a deep breath and continued the previous topic, asking:
"What were you just saying?"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, "If Yuan Ting knows, it means everyone knows."
Sun Zhanglao's blood pressure skyrocketed.
The phone rang again.
Sun Zhanglao was about to hang up, but saw that it was Fu Qingyang who was calling. He took a deep breath and calmed down, then answered the phone:
"Stinky kid, are you calling to make fun of the old man?"
"Make fun of you..." A cold voice came from the phone, enunciating clearly, "I wouldn't do such a boring thing. I'm here to repay a favor. The report on the strategy of the Mountain God Temple has been written, and I've sent it to your email."
Fu Qingyang said indifferently, "I think this intelligence should be very important to Taiyi Men."
Sun Zhanglao suddenly became interested, hung up the phone in a hurry, and looked at the middle-aged man, "How do I open the email?"
The middle-aged man silently took the phone, logged into the email, opened the file, and then silently handed it back.
Sun Zhanglao squinted his eyes and read the contents word by word.
He read it calmly, without any change in his expression. For a senior spiritual realm traveler, a trial-level spiritual realm was just child's play.
But when he saw the information about the revival of the three Mountain Goddesses, his face suddenly changed.
Creak~ Sun Zhanglao jumped up from the rocking chair, his expression solemn.
"Elder?" The middle-aged man looked surprised.
"The ancient Day Traveler God has awakened..." Sun Zhanglao's voice was heavy with worry, turning into a golden light and disappearing into the sky.
That was the direction of the leader's residence.
........
Second floor of a small building.Zhang Yuanqing sat in front of his own desk, skillfully turned on the computer, and followed Guan Ya's guidance to open the internal forum of the Five Elements Alliance official organization, browsing through several top posts one by one.
They were all basic information about the Lingjing world.
He first checked the "Lingjing Types", which were divided into "Single-player Types" and "Multi-player Types", just as Li Dongze had said. Single-player types usually only appeared in the unique Lingjing of that profession, such as the supernatural Lingjing of the Night Wanderer.
Multi-player types were divided into two types: team battles and team adventures. The former was a special Lingjing confrontation between Lingjing practitioners, while the latter faced the dangers of the Lingjing, some of which were death types and some were non-death types. The punishment mechanism for non-death types was to deduct experience points.
In addition, the scenes of multi-player Lingjing were diverse, and the "gameplay" was also different.
Then, he read the post about "Level Division". This post was very simple, and the content was:
Transcendent stage: levels 1-3.
Saint stage: levels 4-6.
Note: For stages after the Saint stage, please click the link below.
Zhang Yuanqing clicked on the link, but was prompted that his permission was not enough.
"I hate permission dogs the most..." he muttered in dissatisfaction, and helplessly browsed other posts.
"Lingjing Practitioner Occupation Encyclopedia"
Orderly occupations: Night Wanderer, Scout, Wood Nymph, Water Ghost, Fire Master, Earth Monster, Musician, Scholar.
Evil occupations: Enchantress, Witch Doctor, Illusionist.
If he remembered correctly, Wang Tai was a scholar, but what was a musician... There were only three evil occupations? No wonder Guan Ya said that the official organization was the hunter... Zhang Yuanqing's gaze moved down and saw the shocking content.
[Note: To check foreign occupations, please click the link below.]
As expected, his permission was not enough.
"Do Lingjing practitioners exist abroad? Are there different occupations from ours?" Zhang Yuanqing raised his head and looked at Guan Ya's back.
Do they still distinguish between domestic and foreign servers?
Guan Ya turned her head and smiled, "Why do you think only our country is special?"
Zhang Yuanqing was speechless.
He had to once again modify his understanding of the Lingjing world.
If the Lingjing covered the whole world, and there were other Lingjing practitioners and occupations abroad, then the structure of the Lingjing world, whether it was a copy or reality, was more complicated than he had imagined.
"Lingjing practitioners have a strong sense of territory, and the official organizations of various countries almost never communicate with each other, except to combat evil organizations. So you don't need to worry about foreign Lingjing practitioners for the time being. This is not something a transcendent practitioner like you needs to consider," Guan Ya said.
Zhang Yuanqing nodded and clicked on "Night Wanderer" to view the introduction of his own occupation."Night God, the guardian of Taiyin, the elf of the night, skilled in assassination and controlling yin creatures, the professional mark is a black crescent moon, one of the top professions in the orderly camp, with extremely strong combat power.
"Every Night God is a natural assassin, and their ability to control yin creatures makes them even more difficult to deal with. Night God is a transcendent stage profession name, and can be transferred after level three."
Note: To view the Night God's transfer profession name, please click the link below.
Zhang Yuanqing clicked for a long time and a dialog box popped up saying he didn't have enough permissions.
"Damn permission dog!" he almost cursed out loud.
Wait, something doesn't seem right. Zhang Yuanqing suddenly paused and read the introduction again, realizing where the problem was.
The professional mark is a black crescent moon? But I clearly saw a black full moon on my forehead that night.
What's going on? Is my character card different from others?
Zhang Yuanqing instinctively looked up at the back of Guan Ya's head, wanting to ask her.
