Chapter 99 Two Worlds
The next day, the group stage of the official competition was held at the same time.
Competitors from the top 16 schools have already gathered in the competition hall early.
Xu Heng’s remarks at the press conference still aroused widespread discussion among many students.
At breakfast, the restaurant was still noisy, triggering various speculations.
Those students from schools who were eliminated and failed to enter the top 16 still stayed to watch the battle and actively participated in the discussion.
Some people speculated that it was Xu Heng's so-called Xu's triangle kill, perhaps a burst of speed in a short period of time, attacking from three directions.
This is a statement put forward by a student who had fought against Xu Heng before.
He claimed that during the battle with Xu Heng, he felt a chill in his back, but it turned out that Xu Heng attacked from the left.
So Xu's triangle kill may involve two feint attacks, causing the opponent to misjudge, and only the third one is the real attack.
However, some senior instructors also put forward different opinions.
Although the characteristics of the Osamu Season Master are stealth and burst, [Han Zhui] can carry out long-range attacks. However, the Osamu Season used by Han Zhui will rapidly consume energy during flight, resulting in a sharp reduction in lethality, so there are very few people using it. It will be cast remotely.
However, based on the previous student's experience, he guessed that Xu Heng's three attacks were carried out at the same time, but two of them were long-range attacks from [Han Zhui], and the other was a real close-range [Han Zhui] burst. .
This makes it difficult for the opponent to figure out which move is the truly powerful [Cold Pursuit].
“This style of play is very difficult to achieve. You must reach the extreme speed. You can cast [Cold Pursuit] three times at the same time in the blink of an eye, and you have to cast it in different directions. This is too difficult.”
“Not to mention whether his speed can achieve this, even if he can do it, the consumption of Xiaohan’s solar terms will increase dramatically if he performs [Han Chase] three times in such a short period of time.”
“It is very likely that after using this style of fighting, the energy in the body will be directly exhausted. Once the opponent fails to be defeated in front, he will no longer be able to fight back.”
“So if Xu’s Triangle Killing is this kind of thing, it’s really unnecessary, because it’s purely gambling.”
The senior mentor made suggestions after analysis.
Of course, there are also various other speculations about how Xu's Triangle Killing will unfold.
But basically all methods are the same, and they are all guessed around the characteristics of Xiaohan Festival.
Xu Heng didn’t care about this. He was standing in front of the venue gloomily, preparing to line up to enter the venue.
Director Zhang and others came to him to ask about the triangle murder, but he didn't bother to explain, and just let them find out later.
Happiness is not high, mainly because last night I finally realized what a full-body SPA is.
To be honest, I am very disappointed.
When he rushed back to the room after attending the press conference, Teacher Chen made him lie down on the bed, and then punched him on the back one after another.
Hum from the back to the hind legs, from the chest to the navel, and finally it’s done, the charge is 10,000 yuan!
Xu Heng once wondered if he had been deceived.
He couldn't sleep anyway, so he took the service card again and studied it carefully. After looking at it for half the night, he saw two more words between the words "Body SPA": essential oil!
At that moment, Xu Heng was sure that he had been deceived.
Teacher Chen didn’t use essential oils at all!
“Classmate Xu Heng, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look so uninterested?” Director Zhang noticed that Xu Heng was not in a high mood and asked in a low voice.
Teacher Chen was also on the side, feeling a little guilty for a moment.
She had no idea how to use a full-body SPA, but she heard that it was very unscrupulous, so she tried to fool Xu Heng to avoid going astray.
But looking at the situation now, she felt that she seemed to have influenced Xu Heng.
After all, everyone could see that those few blows on the back were very perfunctory.
"nothing."
Xu Heng shook his head lightly and sighed: "I was just thinking that it is not easy for Scorpio Continent to train us. Entering these simulated spaces must cost a lot of money. After all, this is beyond my understanding of our technological level. I hope When these students go to the battlefield in the future, they can remember what Scorpio Island has done for us, and then fight harder."
…”
Director Zhang and others were suddenly stunned.
At the moment of the war, what are you thinking about?
Does it have to be your turn to think about it?
Is your awareness too high?
…”
Teacher Chen was also stunned, but he was deeply moved.
Unexpectedly, he didn't think that he had deceived him, but he didn't take it to heart at all. Instead, he was only thinking about worrying about the country and the people.
However, Xu Heng was simply curious about the origins of these simulated spaces. Although he had signed a confidentiality agreement, his level was not high enough for him to have access to information related to simulated spaces.
According to the school's arrangement, these are the third-year courses of the university.
So he wanted to take the opportunity of casual chat to see if he could get some clues from Director Zhang and others.
"Director Zhang, so this simulation space..." Xu Heng winked at a few people and hinted wildly. Only then did Director Zhang and others suddenly realize, shaking their heads and smiling silently.
“You don’t have to go through such a big detour to find out. In fact, you students who have participated in the freshman competition are all qualified to know about the simulation space in advance.”
Director Zhang said angrily: "But what we can say is very limited. After all, even we know little about simulation space."
“Please elaborate.” Xu Heng pricked up his ears.
“Simulation space is said to be a simulation, but it does exist. It can be generated through human intervention, and the conditions for generation must be based on reality.” Director Zhang said something very convoluted.
Xu Heng was confused when he heard this, and his face was confused.
It wasn’t until Director Zhang explained it to him again with examples that Xu Heng roughly understood what was going on.
Simply put, the world they live in now belongs to the real world.
The interrogation spaces that I have entered before in the Inspection Department, including the simulated battlefield for the college entrance examination, the training space, and even the simulated space that I entered during the current competition, actually belong to another world.
The other world has many names, and people in different places call it differently.
Scorpio Continent is accustomed to call it the "simulated world", but some places also call it the "forgotten world", or the "memory river", etc.
Every title or term has a reason behind it.
For example, a simulated world is because you can use human power to generate the scenes you want to build in that world.
Of course, this scene must have existed in the real world.
For example, in the simulation space of the freshmen competition currently held, every arena in it is a real area that exists in reality.
The terms “forgotten world” and “memory river” are because some people think that the simulated world is responsible for loading some historical fragments or past memories.
For example, the simulated battlefield during the college entrance examination was a battle that actually happened, but through human control, the scene was restored in the simulated world.
There is also the interrogation space of the Inspection Department, or the old dormitory building, all of which are scenes that once existed in history.
They are no longer visible in the real world, but they remain forever in the simulated world.
“We don’t know its origin, and there are still many rules that are still being explored. The simulated battlefield for your college entrance examination this year is actually the presentation of a memory, and it exists completely in that world.”
Director Zhang said, "As for the training space of the student union, it is only a small part separated from that world and is not integrated with that world."
After hearing this, Xu Heng nodded slowly and thoughtfully.
If you think of the simulation world as a game world, it is easy to understand.
The simulated battlefield for the college entrance examination means that everyone logs into the game, connects to the Internet and enters the game world to fight monsters and pass levels.
But the training space of the Student Union, although it was separated from that world, has become a small space in an offline state, or a small space in a LAN state, which can only allow some people to enter, and is an area for activities. Also limited.
“How big is the simulated world? Is it bigger than the Thirteen Continents?” Xu Heng asked.
"I don't know." Director Zhang shook his head directly: "In other words, the simulation world is endless. No one knows how big it is. At least we still can't explore its edges because it is generating new ones all the time. The field replicates some cities or characters that have existed in our history.”
“So our battlefield is a simulated world?” Xu Heng seemed to understand something.
Director Zhang was startled for a moment, then smiled: "This is a course that you can only take in the last year of your senior year, but I can answer you, you are wrong. The battlefield is a real world, but it is indeed related to the simulated world."
“What?” Xu Heng was confused again.
Originally, I guessed that the battlefield was not in the real world. After all, I had never heard of a war being fought anywhere.
In the end, Director Zhang's answer completely overturned his guess.
“Where do you think the simulated space we control now comes from? Those are all trophies on the battlefield. No, to be precise, we are recovering the land that was once plundered.” Director Zhang said lightly.
Xu Heng opened his mouth and wanted to continue asking.
Director Zhang shook his head directly: "Don't ask, I can only say this much. Everything else is a high-level confidentiality agreement, and to be honest, my level is not high, and I don't know that much."
“Tsk, okay, no more questions, I’ll go in first.”
Xu Heng simply nodded and gave up.
The confidentiality agreement is nothing you can do about it.
He now also understands that the reason for establishing hierarchical confidentiality agreements is to prevent traitors and cults. Those rebels frequently cooperate with the enemy on the battlefield by obtaining intelligence clues from the official side.
If there is no hierarchical confidentiality agreement, a lot of important information will be exposed, which will affect the overall situation of the battlefield.
“When the freshman competition is over, I have to go back and see if I can skip a grade and jump directly to senior year. I will sign a new confidentiality agreement and I will know more.”
Xu Heng walked all the way to the guild hall, thinking to himself.
