Chapter 396: The whereabouts of other lost gold cards in the "Kingdom of God in Cards"...
“I’m back .”
Colin slowly got up from the bed and looked at the wall. The time was a few seconds past three in the afternoon.
Taking a deep breath, he relaxed for a few seconds to recover from the time difference.
Then, he took out the parchment and opened it. This week's task was shown as completed, but the reward was a bit plain.
"One gold coin, just shy of 15,000 points..."
The content of the task reward was nothing special. Colin took a look at the 14,999 points that had just arrived in his account. Without thinking too much, he added the points he had earned before and started to make further repairs to other items.
The last time he restored it, he just fixed the prop to a usable condition.
At this moment, as his points were consumed and reached the bottom, the props that were damaged in the "Ghost Train Incident" were finally restored.
"Finally I got these done, but I feel like I got away with it. I completed a few events and spent so many points, but it's still back to square one."
Muttering to himself, Colin looked at a golden sun badge in the "storage room" again.
This is the new consumable item given by the Saint during the last training.
Compared with the last time, it is obviously much more refined, with more sufficient materials, and the Buff effect is stronger and more durable.
Just by holding it in his hand, Colin felt that his thoughts were unusually smooth.
"Eight thousand points. Even if you don't take the training into account, this badge alone is enough to break even."
Colin calculated silently and felt that he was making a lot of money when doing private transactions with the Saint.
Only if she takes the initiative to support will she suffer a great loss...
However, without thinking too much about it, Colin was about to open the parchment to chat, but at this moment, he saw a document message sent by Mr. Wu.
"General report on the progress of the black box research in the Seventh Box Garden World..."
Colin was stunned, he almost forgot about this thing, he downloaded it and opened the file.
After a quick glance...
He looked as if he understood but not quite - to be honest, it was hard to understand.
They are clearly Chinese characters, numbers, letters and so on, but when they are combined together it is hard to make sense.
"Xiaoyin, come and understand..."
Colin summoned his little maid and asked her to interpret the overly professional terms in a way that ordinary people could understand.
Soon, through the maid's interpretation, he roughly understood the situation of the "Seventh Box Garden World" technology...
Generally speaking, the technical means of the sandbox world can be applied in this world.
At least, we haven’t found too many scientific and technological achievements that cannot be replicated because the world is different…
It is foreseeable that the things inside will bring about a huge technological innovation on Earth. It can even be said that the Earth will experience a technological explosion within a few decades.
From biology, communication, machinery, every aspect...
However, among all the new technologies, there is one project that is difficult for researchers to make progress on.
"Nano-intelligent machinery".
Colin asked the maid to help him interpret the document while he looked at the contents.
According to what has been said above, this so-called "nano-intelligent machine" is at the level of "Zentrai" even in the seventh box-garden world.
Each of its nano units can act independently and is extremely difficult to damage. It can accurately execute different mission instructions. Also, regarding the 0.01 gram of nano-intelligent machinery that was borrowed from Colin for research...
They couldn't even find the area where each "nano-intelligent machine" obtained and stored energy.
I can't find a unit to receive the signal either...
If the real thing wasn't there, the researchers said they would have thought it was impossible for such a thing to exist.
Apart from knowing that this toy exists, they have almost no basic knowledge about it.
"You yourself don't know the technology that made you?"
Colin looked at the little maid and asked curiously.
"I don't know. Theoretically, if all materials are sufficient, I will have a chance to replicate the same 'nano-intelligent machine' only after hundreds of years. Now, I can only create technological creations that are several generations behind me..." The little maid spoke in a nice but calm voice.
"Over the past few hundred years... the end of the world has come several times."
Colin couldn't help but complain, but the technological creation that the little maid mentioned was several generations behind was also very advanced.
The authorities are making room to build a processing plant to produce "backward technological products."
Then, Colin collected his thoughts and looked at the other contents of the document.
For example, some related to "2044"...
Unfortunately, there is not much relevant information, and people still don’t know what will happen on that day. They only know that the closer it gets to that day, the more active some terrifying higher beings become, causing one horrific disaster after another...
"So, if we want to know this, we can only get information from those 'gods'?"
Colin thought thoughtfully, it seems that the company should know about this.
After all, this group of people captured more than one "god".
However, maybe it was a permission issue, but Ms. Rabbit didn’t seem to intend to tell him more.
Shaking his head, Colin closed the file without giving it much thought.
Then I saw that Mr. Wu sent a new message at the right time...
"There has been some preliminary progress regarding the 'World Barrier'. At present, it seems that some ordinary people may have awakened extraordinary abilities for unknown reasons. According to them, they suddenly 'awakened' at a certain emotional moment..."
"Through them, I can feel that there may be something hidden behind everything, but I'm not sure..."
"However, if there is something going on behind the scenes, my intuition tells me that perhaps when 'fate' changes in about nine months, things related to this aspect will really explode..."
"In short, the current progress is not very ideal."
…
"Ordinary people gain extraordinary abilities through unknown means?"
Colin raised his eyebrows. Based on his understanding of anomalies, this kind of thing is a little unrealistic...
Because "extraordinary" will not appear out of thin air for no reason.
It is impossible for ordinary people to awaken any superpowers by relying solely on their own will when they have nothing.
"If you don't have extraordinary powers, you can steal or rob. Whether it's anomalies or demons, they are all obtained through extraordinary means..."
"Even praying to some so-called higher beings would be fine..."
"But to 'awaken' for no reason like this is a little bit wrong."
Colin felt a sinking feeling in his heart, knowing that something must have had a profound impact on the world.
After thinking for a moment and stroking his chin, he looked at the other words of Mr. Wu: "When 'fate' changes..."
this……
Although the other party did not specify the details, Colin remembered that Mr. Wu said that he only had about a year left to live... He could guess the meaning of "handover of fate" without much thought. It should be that at that time he would pass on his own status to his successor.
Chaos may break out at the moment of inheritance?
"Only 9 months left..."
Colin suddenly felt inexplicably sad.
The means to fully control one's extraordinary abilities have appeared, but unfortunately, these official high-level beings cannot use them.
With inexplicable emotions, Colin ended the conversation with Mr. Wu.
However, before he could feel sad for a few minutes, Colin suddenly realized something. He looked at the parchment and saw a message on it:
Dear "654321", you have a new task "Go through the 'Starlight Gate' to investigate a lost item." It has been included in the [Task Bar].
"Oh, now they actually add a friendly greeting before issuing a quest? But I don't think I've ever heard of this name 'Starlight Gate' before. Could it be related to the 'Starlight Girl' I caught in my trumpet quest?"
Colin pursed his lips, composed himself, opened the [Task Bar] and found the task.
[Go through the "Starlight Gate" to investigate a lost item]
[Description: Through some special means, the company has determined the vague location of a lost high-quality prop through a returning employee. ]
[Requirement: On January 1st, at 12:00 am, make a special descent through the "Starlight Gate" to collect and investigate intelligence in the area.]
[Hint: The lost item is suspected to be one of the seventeen "Card of the Kingdom of God". ]
【Do you accept this task? 】
…
"The surrendered personnel, that 'Starlight Girl' really surrendered..."
Colin made a "tsk" sound. That guy was a character like "God's Chosen One" and "God's Messenger", but he took the lead in surrendering. He didn't know if the "Dawn Starlight" behind him would be furious when he found out.
Then he looked at the requirements and turned his attention to the prompts...
"One of the seventeen gold cards of the 'Kingdom of Cards'. I don't know which one it is, but overall, it should be specially issued to me."
After thinking about it, Colin chose to accept it.
Gold cards are simple, crude, and have little side effects, so for him, the more the better.
"Why do I always feel like the company wants me to collect all 17 cards? Otherwise, they wouldn't keep forcing me to give them these kinds of items..."
"I just don't know what will happen if I really collect 17 gold cards one day..."
"Today is the 25th, and there are still five or six days left. There's no rush. But it looks like the mission is a single-player mission, and there won't be many teammates. I haven't received a single-player mission in a while..."
As his thoughts turned, Colin glanced at the task content several times, and after making sure that there was not much information, he put it away.
Then, he opened the internal communication hall as usual and took a look.
It's not much different from before, except that there's a bunch of people advocating for the "Advent Project"...
However, after just watching for a while, a phone call suddenly came.
The name displayed on the screen is "Xia Liufang".
Ke Lin was stunned. Usually, it was Hu Zheng or Qin Chuan who contacted him, but Xia Liufang rarely contacted him.
"Hey, what's up?"
With doubt in his heart, Colin answered the phone and listened to what the other party said. Soon his expression became a little strange.
"Are you saying that Qin Chuan and Hu Zheng are being beaten by a few... elementary school students in the toilet?"
Colin was a little doubtful whether he had heard it wrong.
No matter what, these two are extraordinary people after all. How could they be beaten by ordinary people, especially elementary school students?
But soon, he suddenly realized something.
"Is it the group of 'awakened' extraordinary people?" Colin thought of the information provided by Mr. Wu.
At the same time, Xia Liufang's voice continued to be heard: "Well, I don't know if these children are affected by the abnormality. They are very strong and even created some kind of barrier. It is difficult for us to enter...
"And the higher-ups asked us to solve the anomaly without causing any harm to them, but we haven't found the specific anomaly yet...
"So, you might need to come over."
The intelligence about the "Awakeners" is still being verified and has not been announced, so they don't know what the situation is with this group of people for the time being. They are still using the old method to look for anomalies, but in the end they found nothing.
In fact, the "abnormal" is this group of "awakened ones".
"Okay, just give me a location."
After hanging up the phone and waiting for the location to be sent, Colin couldn't help laughing a few times when thinking of what Xia Liufang said.
It is unclear where Qin Chuan and Hu Zheng will end up, but the fact that they were beaten up by elementary school students in the toilet is something they will never be able to get over...
Soon, the location information was sent from there, and the location was a little remote.
But it was not a big problem. Colin held the badge of humility, held his breath, jumped out of the window, and moved forward at a very fast speed in the city.
A few minutes later, he arrived at the location and saw a blocked-off elementary school.
Then, looking at the dilapidated teaching buildings, Ke Lin finally understood why Qin Chuan and his men were beaten by the elementary school students...
"To be honest, it seems quite strong..."
Colin arrived at the scene and looked around. He saw many fist marks of different sizes on the wall.
Even many load-bearing columns were broken.
The power of the “primary school students” is so terrifying!
As the "Badge of Humility" was lifted, Xia Liufang also noticed Ke Lin's sudden appearance:
"Mr. Colin, do you need us to come in together..."
"No, leave it to me from now on. It shouldn't be a big problem."
Rejecting Xia Liufang's request to bring others in, Ke Lin walked into the teaching building alone.
The guys inside are strong enough to beat Qin Chuan, but there is not much point in facing him.
Of course, we still have to be cautious...
Otherwise it would be fun if he was also blocked in the toilet and beaten.
Warm flames emerged from the body surface and covered the whole body. After Colin walked into the campus, he immediately felt that some unique abnormality was shrouding this place.
The effectiveness of electronic communications is beginning to wane…
"If an ordinary person came in, there would probably be a ghost wall or something like that. Is this what is called a barrier?"
Colin sensed it secretly, then walked along the campus path and went deeper into it.
As long as there is a bonfire, this thing has almost no effect on him...
A minute later, he suddenly heard a series of childish, shrill roars coming from a certain teaching building...
The noise sounded like someone was chasing something.
And coincidentally, they seemed to be heading towards Colin.
According to the information he obtained, Colin thought it should be Qin Chuan and his group, because there was no one else besides them.
But soon, as the footsteps got closer, he realized that it didn't seem to be that.
A hairy figure jumped down from the third floor without caring about releasing the force. He just rolled to the side.
At the same time, another man with muscular body, as strong as an ox, but the head of a child fell down and hit the other person's position with a bang, causing a vibration.
After landing, he punched the long-haired figure directly.
"Muscle strengthening, the strength of a thousand horses!"
While roaring, the "kid" flexed the muscles in his right hand, swung his fist as big as his head, and punched at the hairy figure that looked like a human but not a human.
With a bang, the long-haired man, who looked neither human nor wolf, was punched and flew more than ten meters away, landing a few meters to the side of Ke Lin...
Colin glanced at the "werewolf" and then at the terrifying elementary school student, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Can this be a fucking elementary school student?"
