Chapter 2932 Searching for the Power of Immortality
Soon, the world's social structure fell into a three-way standoff.
One side, the extraordinary.
The other side consists of ordinary people.
The third party is an ordinary person who serves the extraordinary.
Yes, there are always people who are willing to submit to the strong, and they also hope to become extraordinary, or to live a better life by taking advantage of the extraordinary.
Ordinary people live in cities and villages surrounded by olive groves.
Many people live a small-scale farming life by eating olives.
Of course, there are also many ordinary people who cannot live without modern equipment.
Modern people would rather endure the threat of superhumans than not live in modern cities.
For example, air conditioners.
In Lu Cheng's view, this was actually developing quite well.
The entire social structure has indeed undergone tremendous changes.
It can be said that this society is in a completely different state from the previous one.
And at this time.
The same prompt appeared in Wenren Sheng's mind.
"You have grasped the impact of extraordinary factors on ordinary society, and you have gained 1 Mystery Points."
"Mystery level has risen to 232,200 points."
Wen Rensheng was not particularly moved when he saw the mysterious points rising.
However, the influence of extraordinary items on people's hearts is truly subtle.
A single prop can completely change the world.
Human social structures were thus easily altered.
Having read this far, the story should come to an end.
Wenren Sheng thought to himself.
Previously, he had thrown a glass marble.
Now he's throwing out a website address for voting.
……
this day.
Suddenly, the sky reappeared.
He simply took Xiao Huan's canopy and used it to get it over.
At that moment, a line of text appeared on the sky.
"You can make your own choice."
"First, I hope the world can return to the state it was before the arrival of the extraordinary."
"Secondly, I hope the world can remain in this state."
Third, give up the choice.
"The whole world will decide where you go based on your choices."
Upon seeing this, some were overjoyed, some wept, and some scoffed.
"Hmph, are they treating us like insects?"
"How infuriating! Why didn't you do this sooner?"
"I'm not choosing anything."
However, these strange and sarcastic people were arrested one by one by those they considered to be on their own side.
"You're really bold. You finally have a chance, and you still want to vent your emotions. Don't you know that the world depends on this sky?"
"Exactly! You people only know how to talk your way out of things, don't you think about your descendants?"
Everyone was silent.
Soon, people began to make their choices.
Surprisingly, the last third of the people chose to maintain their current status, while a quarter chose to return to their original status.
The others chose the third option.
The choices of the crowd were displayed in the sky.
"Very good, you have made your choice, and you will get what you choose."
One person's choice cannot be forced upon another.
Soon, those who chose to return to their original state immediately disappeared from the spot.
Yes, they went to another timeline, a timeline without the intrusion of supernatural artifacts.
Of these people, 9% regretted it after they grew old.
"If I had known I would end up like this, I would have preferred to stay in the extraordinary world."
"Yes, at least there are ways to reverse aging there."
"Damn it, I want to go back."
"Let me go back."
This is a common human trait: we always regret making a choice, and then we regret not making another one.
But they never received a response.
What a joke! Wenren Sheng was already being kind by giving them a chance.
Want to have it all?
How big must that face be?
……
at the same time.
Those who choose to maintain the status quo, and those who abstain, continue to live in the extraordinary world.
To be honest, if it weren't for the existence of the olive grove, most of them would have chosen to return to their original state.
Just like the main god space, although it has infinite possibilities, the missions are too difficult and the mortality rate is too high, so most people still want to go home and live an ordinary life.
They will only regret not having fought for a future in the God Realm when they die of old age.
this day.
As people continued walking through the olive grove, talking and laughing.
A man wearing a gray hat and a gray trench coat walked past those people.
He is Mu Hen.
Muhen came to investigate in order to destroy the olive grove.
This was something he had never done before.
This time, it was also because the olive grove was indeed powerful.
So powerful that even his extraordinary diary could not shake it.
Mu Hen looked at the leisurely residents and couldn't help but sneer.
"Hmph, I don't believe your power is limitless."
"Can this olive grove provide endless protection for people?"
"Impossible. Any extraordinary item must abide by the law of conservation of energy."
"The longer it lasts, the more energy is consumed."
"Even a virtual game, which may seem to have unlimited resources, still requires storage space and computing power."
"The larger the value, the more computing resources are required."
"This extraordinary power comes from extraordinary artifacts, and the power of extraordinary artifacts is definitely limited."
However, Mu Hen was unaware that this extraordinary item was merely a converter.
The true mysterious power comes from the void.
Of course, Mu Hen hadn't expected this, but he guessed correctly.
Even with transformation, there is still some loss involved.
Moreover, this extraction, like pumping groundwater, seems to provide a temporary solution to the drought problem.
This means that extraordinary items must be constantly drawn from.
This extraction must be limited.
It's actually similar to the neutralization of saltwater and freshwater.
Due to osmotic pressure, saltwater will permeate to the freshwater side.
This world without magic is like fresh water, and the void is like brackish water.
The current supernatural item city is still relatively weak, so it can still draw power from the void.
This is equivalent to infiltration.
When the world of extraordinary items becomes mysterious enough, it becomes impossible to obtain mysterious power from the void.
Instead, it begins to feed back into the void.
Otherwise, why would Void invest in it?
This is just like planting crops: first you put in fertilizer, water, soil, and seeds, and finally you harvest the grain.
If they lose money, they will abandon the land. Even if the land is precious and people crave it, they will still abandon it and flee.
This was the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty: on the one hand, people lacked land, and on the other hand, they could not afford the heavy taxes, so they abandoned their land and fled.
Mu Hen had already vaguely sensed this.
He felt that using the Extraordinary Diary had become a bit difficult recently.
It's just that using force isn't as easy as it used to be.
He is facing more and more obstacles.
That's why he's so eager to speed things up and eliminate the superhumans.
The olive grove was his obstacle.
Its existence will affect his plans.
Therefore, he came in person.
When he saw these dozens of passersby, he couldn't help but sneer.
They also believed that the mysterious power was endless.
That's not actually the case. Right now, Mu Hen is just waiting to see what happens.
When the olive grove loses all its power one day, it will be destroyed.
That will be the time for him to display his divine power once again.
He wants all the superhumans to die along with him.
He needs the extraordinary, but he wants an extraordinary person, and only him.
He wants to be the only one to follow the law.
In this way, time passed day by day.
Mu Hen then discovered a major problem.
That is, he himself will grow old.
The same is true for other extraordinary individuals; they too begin to age.
More than 20 years have passed since the olive grove appeared.
Logically speaking, he could have lived to be over 90 years old.
He's still a strong man at 50.
However, now that he is only in his fifties, he looks incredibly old.
He suddenly realized that using supernatural items came at a price.
The price is lifespan.
However, most people don't realize the cost of this.
After all, it's been too long.
Unlike props with significant side effects, it doesn't show its effects immediately.
The price you pay now is to accelerate the depletion of your lifespan.
"Damn it, how could it be like this!"
"No, I must find a supernatural item that can reverse time!"
He was getting anxious.
He should have realized this much earlier.
But he was so used to enjoying life that he became numb to his aging.
Now Muhen felt that things were really bad.
He must find a way to achieve immortality.
So he wrote a story.
That is a story of immortality and eternal youth.
He began to write down the background of the story: it was a game world called "Chaos Land".
The rules of this world are simple and brutal: there are no levels, no complex skill trees, only pure physical strength (HP) and hand-to-hand combat.
This world is full of danger, monsters roam freely, and ordinary people live in fear.
However, this world has one unique characteristic: it is a game world, and it never ages.
This kind of setting is quite common for games.
Unless there's a plot-driven death, game characters generally don't age or even die.
Of course, realistic games will also create the effect of characters aging.
Mu Hen created such a world because he wanted to find a way to achieve immortality within it.
In order to obtain the game power of "immortality," he chose to personally immerse himself in it and become the protagonist of the story.
……
Thus, in such a cruel game world, Mu Hen, a protagonist who loves to eat, accidentally—or rather, intentionally—embarks on a journey to save the world.
In this world, Mu Hen has a common name: "A-Qiang".
In Muhen's backstory, he was originally an ordinary villager.
My biggest hobby is eating.
Ah-Qiang is strong and muscular, but has a very gentle personality.
Yes, gentleness is the protagonist's ultimate weapon.
No matter what wrong he did, just one sentence, "He's really gentle," is enough reason for many supporting actresses to fall for him.
Yes, this is the perk Muhen gave himself.
He wrote the story himself, so of course he had to be kinder to himself.
He always carried a large bamboo basket filled with all kinds of delicious food.
In the Chaos Land, food is a scarce resource.
A-Qiang's bamboo basket became his treasure, and also the object of others' covetousness.
In fact, this basket is Muhen's golden finger for himself.
These days, if the protagonist doesn't have a cheat-like advantage, it basically means that 9% of the readers will leave.
And from that basket, one can take out an endless stream of delicious food.
That's what makes it so powerful.
And if someone tries to take it away, they'll find they have nothing to offer.
Only he can produce it.
this day.
The village where Muhen lived was attacked by a group of monsters, and the villagers fled in all directions.
Looking at his destroyed home, Muhen felt an unprecedented surge of anger.
Of course, he knew that these were all part of his character's persona.
In truth, he didn't care.
However, his public persona led him to decide to stop running away and to protect his home and family.
He began searching for traces of the monster.
He soon found his first opponent.
It was a huge wolf.
It weighs a full two hundred kilograms; you could call it a tiger.
The big wolf bared its teeth and claws, lunging at Mu Hen.
Mu Hen had no weapons and could only fight back with his fists.
This is the game's setting: weapons cannot be used; you can only fight with your fists and feet.
It's similar to a fighting game.
He swung his strong arms, punching the wolf again and again.
Although the big bad wolf was fierce, it was ultimately no match for Mu Hen's strength and fell to the ground.
Of course, Mu Hen was the one who cheated for himself here.
This victory made Muhen realize that he was capable of fighting these monsters.
He felt like he had really become Ah Qiang.
He began patrolling around the village to protect the villagers.
Whenever a monster appears, he rushes in and knocks it back with his fists.
His courage and strength impressed the villagers, who called him a "hero".
Although Muhen knew that these villagers were prone to changing their minds.
But in any case, this praise made him feel good.
Moreover, he knew that if he died in battle, he would likely be remembered as a hero forever.
Dead heroes, because they pose no threat, often remain unchanged.
Unless you're unlucky and it gets changed.
Muhen has a cheat code.
This cheat was inspired by his eating habits.
He always carried that bamboo basket with him.
It was filled with high-protein foods, such as roast meat, eggs, and milk.
These foods are available in an endless supply.
Whenever he felt tired or injured, he would take out food from the bamboo basket to replenish his energy.
These foods not only restored his strength but also allowed him to endure longer in battle.
As time went by, Muhen's power gradually increased.
The punches became more powerful and faster.
He attempted to challenge more powerful monsters, and the area he protected expanded from the village to the entire region.
And his fame grew.
Mu Hen had always been the mastermind behind everything, but now he suddenly felt that stepping into the limelight also brought him comfort.
Muhen's reputation gradually spread throughout the Chaos Land.
More and more civilians began to seek his protection.
And he did not hesitate to lend a helping hand.
He not only helped them fight off the monsters, but also taught them how to defend themselves.
Under his leadership, the common people learned to unite and fight the monsters together.
Muhen even forgot about the secret of finding the world of immortality and eternal youth.
Until this day.
In the chaotic land, another enormous four-headed dragon appeared.
Wherever these four dragons go, they destroy everything that stands in their way.
It was enormous, like a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Of course, it doesn't have magic either.
It's still just the power of flesh and blood.
This was Muhen's way of insuring himself: he couldn't handle a world that was too outrageous.
