The Truth of Magic

Chapter 319 Countdown to Zero

After feeling something strange in his body, Zhao Xu left the concert square early, not feeling sorry for his half-audited ticket.

Zhao Xu didn't expect that when Zheng Xinyun recited the prayer mantra he gave just now, this kind of resonance would be directly amplified to a certain extent, and he could sense it on the spot.

That kind of induction is like an invisible chain, jumping out from the opponent's body and directly integrating into his body, as if the pulse of the heart is responding one after another between the two parties.

If Zhao Xu continued to maintain this wonderful connection, he could even locate the other party's location and even sense the other party's state.

Even just a moment of friction from the spark of divine power, he already felt the change in Zheng Xinyun's mentality.

The mystery of this kind of divine power made Zhao Xu, who had never been in contact with it, secretly startled.

Then Zheng Xinyun's chanting stopped later, and this connection gradually weakened and was interrupted, and this was also related to the lack of energy of the other party.

Originally, Zhao Xu guessed that the opponent's probability of entering the game was only 30%.

Afterwards, after the whole process of encountering him along the way, the probability increased to at least 50%.

By the time the other party was willing to say the prayer spell, he was sure that Zheng Xinyun would eventually enter Arthur's game.

At this moment, Zhao Xu stood on the gate of the subway, looked at the subway that hadn't caught up, and left with a whimper.

It wasn't until the next subway came that Zhao Xu silently walked into the car and found a corner, closed his eyes quietly and meditated.

Just at the moment when the divine power was activated, he had a little understanding of the energy shuttle channel.

It's a pity that he is not in Arthur's world at the moment, and all thoughts can only be deduced in his mind.

However, Zhao Xu's goal was to achieve a real part of the communication between the two worlds in a certain key link.

In the past, Zhao Xu could only rely on basic spells to follow others' advice, so naturally he didn't dare to imagine this kind of manipulation.

But now that his real intelligence has risen to a high enough level, some challenges are no longer challenges for him.

Especially when Antinoya took him to the mysterious research site and let him see the incantations carved on the eight huge mithril metal panels.

Invisibly, a huge secret has been revealed to him. Let him stand directly on the shoulders of countless giants.

It allowed Zhao Xu to think from his own perspective, the probability of several vaguely possible solutions.

As long as the association successfully opened the material channel, he could enjoy the benefits of the stable channel and realize "smuggling".

In essence, Zhao Xu didn't want to use Arthur's magic items to influence the earth before crossing.

He was instinctively driven by the idea of ​​"steady development" to seek more hole cards that would allow him to be safe.

The sudden disconnection this time made Zhao Xu aware of the butterfly effect he could have.

Especially that kind of effect, from Arthur's increase to the real world. Millions of Arthur players, in these two days, the trajectory is completely different from the previous life.

So Zhao Xu was more worried about the impact on the real world.

He knew very well that Arthur's death was not a real death, and he had too many cards to save.

But death on the earth will make him truly die.

Just as Zhao Xu's thoughts were spinning, he suddenly heard Arthur's game being discussed by someone beside him.

"Should we be able to connect tomorrow?"

"It's ok, I finally encountered this hardcore game, and I started to devote myself to it."

"Isn't your investment just a waste of money?"

"Hey, it's not easy to spend money on this game. Now I'm afraid that the things I finally spent a huge amount of money on will be obtained by others casually. If this happens, I'm afraid I will be heartbroken."

"But isn't it rumored that the strongest professions are mages and priests?"

"I know, but when my equipment is upgraded to a sufficient strength, how can I use them?"

Only then did Zhao Xu open his eyes and look at the source of the voice.

The one who wanted to buy equipment was a tall, thin man with a smug look on his face.

On the other side, it was a young man in a younger grade who was tactfully persuading the other party. Obviously, the two were companions.

"No, isn't it funny that you use magic items made by mages to be mages?" the younger man retorted.

As a result, this sentence immediately ushered in the tall and thin man's retort, "Bullshit."

And the young man also retorted, his voice gradually getting louder.

The two began to confront each other word for word in the subway.

After Zhao Xuchu listened to a few words, he stopped paying attention and controlled his head to automatically turn the sound into noise and then block it out.

In his view, any attempt to persuade other people to behave is silly.

Especially when using the keyboard to laning online, he has never seen anyone who really succeeded in laning and convinced the other party.

But both sides of the debate always have a logic of self-improvement.

But he himself is standing on the young man's point of view.

One thing about Arthur is very special, that is, there is no "enchanting blacksmith" role in other online games, except that the basic weapons and armor are forged by blacksmiths.

All magic items are actually derived from a certain spell.

So all of Arthur's "magic items" and even "wonderful items" are basically produced by spellcasters.

In the later stage, if the warriors want to wrestle with the caster a little bit, in addition to the strong advanced professional support, 70% to 80% need to rely on a large number of powerful magic items.

Therefore, if both sides abandon magic items, in essence, the combat profession will be weakened to a greater extent.

The three-ring spell "flying" alone is enough to stump most fighters.

From the beginning, Zhao Xu hoped that there would be enough spellcasters among the players, so that the whole people would not be too passive in crossing in the future.

If you want to become a mage after time travel, you need more than ten years of accumulation.

Judging from the statistics on the Internet, as well as the current several adventure activities he has participated in. Arthur currently has a total of 11 basic occupations, with an average share of about 9% for each occupation.

But in fact, the number of mages among the current players is less than 1%.

Basically, it is rare to see mage characters in a 4-person team, and only two or three mages can barely be seen in the current high-end 40-member combination of players such as the "Watcher" union.

At present, some warrior professions have this kind of thinking because they hold the mentality of that tall and thin man.

On the one hand, they underestimated the difficulty of obtaining magic items, except for Zhao Xu.

On the other hand, its role is also overestimated.

How the mage can be restrained, those magic items can be restrained.

The essence of magic items is, after all, mostly simulating certain spells. In this way, as a mage, it is more straightforward in essence.

At this time, the noisy voice of the two made the passengers in the carriage frown. During the period, several passengers who were also Arthur's players also tried to persuade them, but they were pushed back.

And Zhao Xu had already turned on his phone for the second half of the process, and began to edit a post "A Brief Introduction to Practical Magic Items."

He started by quoting some sentences from the debate between the two, sorted out some logical issues, and explained them one by one.

Then he began to offer the meat of the show, commenting on some of Arthur's useful magic items and recommending them to the players.

In the first month, he wrote this post like a castle in the air. It's the same as he is writing a godhead introduction post now.

Now that the game is entering the beginning of the third month, many top players have obtained magic items of several thousand gold coins, which is also the stage where his post can start to play a role.

When he finally arrived at the destination subway station, Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up directly, walked out of the slowly opened gate, and at the same time clicked send directly on the editing interface of the mobile phone forum.

"If you continue to make trouble for no reason, let's ask the Great God directly." The young man was already blushing.

"Okay, isn't that Dongcheng Ling the most famous in the forum, so I'll just post @her to see who is right."

Although the account of Aya Tojo on the forum has been biased towards Fabuki recently.

However, the content released by the account itself is detailed and has been verified by the players, so even Zhan Chuan is more convinced of the account's statement.

Therefore, the tall and thin young man who advocated that the warrior is equipped with enough magic items and can also hang and beat the mage did not resist asking the other party.

Zhao Xu, who heard what the two said just as he got out of the car, almost lost his phone and hurriedly canceled the post. But at this time, the delay time of the original post has returned to normal.

In just a moment, countless self-media accounts and platform pages related to Zhao Xu reposted his post in an instant.

Even if Zhao Xu deleted the post, his post had already been distributed to dozens of companies, and it would continue to increase over time.

Zhao Xu could only shake his head. He didn't expect him to slap someone in the face so quickly.

But he didn't worry too much, he just accelerated his pace and left the subway station.

And the two who were still arguing about going to Gao Wan to find out who was right and who was wrong, now they were both dumbfounded looking at Dong Chengling's latest post on the forum.

The "Questions and Answers" part mentioned at the beginning of the post seemed to be slapped in the face on the spot, making the tall and thin man look red and white.

At this time, several players in the car who also received the push were also stunned when they saw the latest post by Ling Dongcheng. They couldn't help but glanced at the people in the car, trying to find out who it was.

Zhao Xu passed by the snack street on the way back, and he packed a midnight snack to bring back to his roommate.

When he returned to the dormitory, he found that Zhang Qi was already wearing a helmet, playing other games, meeting his girlfriend, and expanding their dating time after the 11 o'clock gate control.

This time, Arthur's rare shutdown of the server also allowed the dormitory on this floor to restore the bustling sound of playing online games before.

Some dormitories even restore the original directly, taking out two decks of cards to play tractors.

All of this will only be restored when the game's connection cooling countdown resets to zero at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Zhao Xu went to bed early after taking a shower.

However, out of a long-standing habit, he still put on the helmet, ready to start the immersive sleep mode.

After putting on the helmet, the interface in front of Zhao Xu immediately switched back to the interface when he took off the helmet the day before yesterday.

In front of that disconnected login countdown screen.

Players all over the world are basically counting down at this time: 9:55:45.

But Zhao Xu found that the countdown in front of him had changed to: 00:00:00.

A state where direct connection is possible!
