I Am Stuck In A Beta Test For 1000 Years

Chapter 169 169

Chapter 169. The Smart Groundhog

"What?"

Char asked.

However, he was greatly shocked in his heart!

They were shocked!

They were shocked like never before!

Crickto had actually guessed it right!

From the screenshot Rylai sent back, there was only a group photo of him and Saxson. The structure of the surroundings did not exist at all!

Considering that even the video and screenshots were based on the ability of the system, it could be said that the system had indeed filtered out the information about the tin soldiers.

Crickto was right!

Compared to his shock, the master blacksmith was also surprised.

"She said this is a coordinate?"

"Right? How is it? Did she pass the test?" Char asked.

"It seems like she is indeed a smart groundhog, and a genius at that. It's a series of five-fold encrypted numbers," said Crickto with a shrug. "Different results can be obtained based on different logical thinking abilities. analyzing the diagram was in the fifth level, which was the entry level. Alright, she's qualified. Your capillary channel can be built."

Damn it, it was clearly a good thing, why did this guy say it in such a disgusting way!

Char pouted and could not laugh.

Seeing his expression, Crickto laughed instead. "Char, you should be happy."

"Why?" Char asked, stunned.

"With the logical thinking and computing power of a living being, the limit of analysis is the fifth level."

Char's heart skipped a beat as the other party suddenly emphasized on life.

"Then let's go up."

"Going further up, it's beyond the scope of defining a life form, and it's closer to artificial intelligence and special structures-to put it simply, the results of the first to fifth tiers are not meant to determine the level of intelligence, but the proportion of logic and calculation. The more mechanical one's thinking is, the closer one's cognition is to the first gear. So, do you understand what I mean?"

After he finished, he patted Char's thigh.

His action was the same as a normal person patting his shoulder to comfort him, but he was too short.

"I'm going to make some preparations. I'm going to pass on some teaching materials to this smart groundhog. I hope she can understand as soon as possible."

He then left, leaving Char in deep thought.

Crickto was right, he should be happy.

In terms of innovation and mischief, Crickto was indeed no match for him. However, in terms of thinking, he was far from comparable to the other party.

Crickto had completed a test for him.

The string of numbers was not just to test Rylai's ability to accept it, but also to test a possibility.

What if Char's friends, the so-called God's Chosen Ones, were all simulated life forms and not real humans?

It was like a string of numbers made up of 0 and 1. humans with complex cognitive abilities could have different understandings of them and even give them special meanings. however, computers with a binary system were different. they only had one way to interpret it, which was to read 0 and 1.

This string of numbers was the same. They had different results in different perspectives, and they corresponded to each other. Being able to analyze a specific answer meant that the test subject belonged to a specific group.

This method was really awkward.

Char could only exclaim that Crickto was indeed a meticulous person.

However, he was also helpless.

In fact, he had already thought about this matter. After all, he had gone through 177 reincarnations and had interacted with many NPCs created by the subconscious of the natives. He was already considered an authority in appraisal. It was just that he could not quantify his own appraisal method-to put it simply, it could only be understood and not described.

This was exactly what Crickto could not accept. after all, he firmly believed that nothing can not be quantified.

Therefore, Crickto's move was completely unnecessary.

Even though he said that, the concern that this guy showed warmed Char's heart.

? He briefly explained the situation to Rylai, then patted Saxson, who was still thinking.

"Mr. Duke, please accompany me to the monster cage."

This sudden visit to the Siege City encirclement was completely out of his plan. Char would not have come so early, as he would have at least brought enough experience to level up to level 50 and simultaneously activate several classes. However, things happened too suddenly, and there was no time at all. He could only drive the duck to the rack.

However, Char would not let go of the convenience of the Platinum Disc, so he had to learn all the key skills.

No matter how much he struggled, this was a foreign world. Levels and personal energy were the most basic things.

Most of the mechanical creatures in the encirclement had good physical resistance, which was too inefficient for a person who majored in cutting.

In the past, when Char's reputation with the Siege City guardsman was halfway through, he would steal a [Signal Jammer] and a [Hacker Chip] to gain experience. but now that his reputation was full, this method naturally wouldn't work, and instead became a happy worry.

Fortunately, he still had the Heart of The Nest.

The so-called monster cage referred to the secret room where the heart of the nest was stored. Char temporarily closed the weapon on the roof and entered the room with the borrowed Holy Sword.

Saxson was hiding in the dark corner behind him.

It was not that he wanted him to join in, but Char was bored of killing monsters alone, so she wanted to find someone to chat with.

In just half an hour, the monsters generated by the Heart of The Nest had filled half of the secret chamber. Saxson had to summon a few ice walls to separate them so that Char could kill his way in.

At first, he was worried that Char's methods would be too extreme and that she would soon be unable to hold on in front of a bunch of monsters.

However, as time passed, he gradually realized that something was not quite right.

'He's too skilled...'

It was not that saxson had never fought with monsters before. On the contrary, he had led a team to exterminate the monsters around Golden Butterfly City. Even his son had died at the hands of monsters, so it could be said that he had quite the right to speak in this regard.

Even so, Char's performance was beyond his understanding.

It was not just high efficiency, but it also exuded a sense of beauty. It was as if what he was doing was not killing, but a kind of dance, a kind of art!

The Duke's eyes lit up slightly, and he could not help but stand up.

Not only was he envious, but he also wanted to join the battlefield activities.

"Don't come in!"

Char's words were like a hand that pressed down on his shoulder and pushed him back.

'Are you kidding me, letting you come in and share my experience?'

The duke snorted, crossed his arms, and remained silent with a cold expression.

After a few minutes, he coldly asked, "When are we leaving this place?"

"Are you talking about the monster cage or the encirclement?"

"I mean, back to Elfheim."

"You finally can't help but ask."

Char's laughter came from behind a wall, and then a figure was smacked into the ice wall. It looked like a human figure with its back facing up, and landed right beside Saxson's feet.

He looked down and saw that it was Char.

"Half-time break."

Char lifted his head weakly and waved his hand.

"Fire!"

Bang!

The dark muzzles on the roof flashed with deep blue fire, and the monsters on the ground were instantly shot into sieves.

Char wiped the sweat off his face and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Duke, do you have many questions?" he asked with a smile.

Saxson's eyebrows twitched. "I think that's the only answer you'll get."

"What, this guy's so smart..." Char pouted.

The Duke was well-versed in the ways of the world and understood that this experience was full of bizarreness. He should not ask what he should not ask. This awareness was much better than the vast majority of proud Elves.

"Ten days," Char replied, his eyes fixed on the Heart of The Nest.

"We'll leave in ten days and solve the problem of the monsters."

On the outskirts of Golden Butterfly City.

That day, all kinds of wonders erupted in the city. dark clouds gathered and magic energy gathered. then, a golden light pierced the clouds and disappeared like lightning. Since then, the entire Golden Butterfly City had been shrouded in a layer of terrifying dark clouds.

However, the strange thing was that there were no demons in this ghost-like city of death.

The funnier thing was that the scavenger team of the flame knot, including the vice president, had more than 30 people, risking their lives to scavenge, but only the vice president died in the end!

Moreover, she had died in the City Lord's mansion!

Once this kind of news spread, it quickly became a joke among the players. While some people ridiculed Nelwin, some people were also curious about how she died.

Of course, what the players were talking about more was the ambiguous attitude of the United Holy Kingdom toward this incident.

The NPCs moved out of the city built a new settlement near the barracks outside the city, and soon, the Fury Guards from all over Elfheim came to gather and support.

However, the church's actions were faster than them!

The Holy Knights led by Rohart had rushed over from the distant Memphis a day before the arrival of the Fury Guards, and each of them had lost two horses.

Not only did they come quickly, but they also acted quickly after arriving. not only did they seal off Golden Butterfly City, but they also prohibited anyone from entering.

The Elves of the Fury Guards were not cowards, and naturally would not tolerate the other party's tyranny on the elven land. the two sides were constantly in conflict, and it seemed like they were about to fight. it was only with the coordination of an old priest and a young elven officer that they managed to come to an agreement.

Then, the two sides united, and a new camp reputation was born, [Support Guard], which was composed of the reputation of Golden Butterfly City, the overall reputation of Elfheim, and some reputation of the United Holy Kingdom.

It had been 29 days since the demon disaster broke out.

At dusk, in the tavern of the camp, the NPCs and players were mixed together, and for a moment, they could not tell one another apart.

After a long time, most of the players who had mastered the rules of the game and were proficient in applying the rules had become good actors. their every move carried the temperament of senior adventurers. only by listening closely to their conversation could one tell their identity.

"Have you heard? The flame knot' has started its third recruitment." Someone said in a low voice.

This was obviously a player. His equipment was shining and quite extraordinary, but there was no order or attention to the matching. After glancing through the valuable items in the auction house, anyone with eyes could tell that this was a cheap warrior.

When he said this, his face was full of envy.

"That's right. I heard that those people made a fortune from the demon disaster this time. just the sculptures, furniture, and silverware sold at Silver Horn Bay and the Arlowan Forest alone were sold for more than 2000 gold coins. They're only 8000 gold coins short of buying a toilet in Memphis."

As expected, this enigmatic tone caused a burst of laughter.

For the time being, he had not found anything like a guild base or a guild building order in the game. Most of the guild activities were to rent taverns and abandoned warehouses, like a guild gathering.

However, there were rumors that one could build a stronghold by buying a piece of land, and the degree of freedom was no different from reality. However, even if god's chosen ones were backed by the judgement church, no consul would dare to sell a piece of land to unknown and armed players for them to cause trouble. allowing God's Chosen Ones to freely circulate between the various towns was already giving great face to the United Holy Kingdom. The City Lords were not fools.

After repeated research, the players came to one conclusion...

At the moment, the only way to buy land was to go to the Holy City of Memphis, where the chosen ones had a friendly initial reputation.

However, that was the problem. The land price in that place was not much cheaper than the capital, and it was difficult to even buy a toilet. With the current financial resources and status of the players, they were far from being able to afford an activity site.

Such an answer was obviously disdainful, even though 2000 gold coins was not a small amount.

The pay-to-win warrior who asked the question was not annoyed. He knew that everyone present wanted to go to the flame knot but failed. the number of people in this guild had always been maintained at a subtle number after the emergence of the new force, and the entry threshold was extremely high.

The more it did this, the more they wanted to go in, and the more they wanted to go in, the more they could not, and the more they did, the more dissatisfied they became.

"There's another piece of news, I wonder if you've heard of it?" He continued.

"What?"

"Hurry up and say it. Don't hide it. Don't be so wishy-washy."

"I heard that a new leveling spot has been discovered outside the city, and it's related to monsters. It's on the mountain north of the city. An Archer who has fully mastered [Eagle Eye] saw that the leader seems to be the target of that regional mission."

"Graviny? Have you confirmed it?"

"Yes. I've received 4000 experience points and 2 gold coins just from this message. there's probably a big movement in the city recently."

When they heard this, they were a little envious. just as they were about to ask a few more questions, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out outside the tavern.

"The Holy Knights!"

Someone with sharp ears immediately caught the hint. This sentence was like a bomb thrown into the water, setting off a huge wave. The people in the entire tavern squeezed toward the windows and doors in unison.

Outside, the Holy Knights of the Holy Church had indeed gathered in a hurry. The team was like a red and white flood, surging toward the North.

The players in the tavern looked at each other, and after a few seconds, they were all gone.

If the church had a big operation, even if they could not get the meat, they would still get the soup!

For ten consecutive days, Char was immersed in the monster cage, and only did three things. Eat, sleep, and fight demons.

During that time, Fredrick came to visit and took the divinity with him.

Before that, Crickto had done a complete sample, test, and data analysis of it, keeping a report so detailed that Char could not understand it as a backup. He was so busy leveling up that he did not even see the Archbishop. He only asked someone to tell him that he would leave today.

The Heart of The Nest's rule of summoning monsters started from the lowest level. If the monster was killed within a certain period of time, the default would be 'the monster's strength is not enough and needs to be improved, and then the level would gradually increase.

On the first day, he was not in a hurry to enter the monster cage. this was also because he wanted to kill the monsters in the level 15-25 range, which had a low price to performance ratio. after that, starting from level 30, the intensity and rewards were very suitable.

Ten days later, it would welcome its first level 50 Elite.

In the morning, Char opened his eyes and saw a delicate face in deep sleep.

Ah... Again...

After handing over the divinity, Ortlinde only slept for an afternoon before waking up. However, after that, the Valkyrie seemed to have changed into a completely different person.

How should he put it...?

She was very clingy.

As her divinity was taken away, her hatred and disgust for Char seemed to have faded as well. In its place were the traces that Char had left behind when she awakened her memories.

Then...

He seemed to have used too much force!

After all, she was only 16 years old and was far from being the Valkyrie who would take charge of everything on her own.

Under Char's guidance, she recalled too many memories of her age and the thoughts of a young girl under the moon. these days, she also hid outside and peeked at Char's fighting with the monsters. over time, her favorability actually rose to intimate.

Furthermore, in a place like the Siege City wall, where there were no living beings and only machines, she could only rely on Char, and she was even more infatuated with her nestling than before! Every night, when Char was asleep, she would sneak over and lie beside him until dawn.

She might be a coward, but normal people would not do such a thing. However, if she was to be called bold, she was like a cat that was afraid of strangers, running away at the slightest touch.

However...

She was really cute.
