Chapter 648 Mysterious Tower

Demon Continent, Eastern Capital, Hunter School.

"6-5-2, ride."

"3-7-1, Lieutenant General."

"...Well, it can't be done, it can't be done!"

At the desk, a burly middle-aged man with a beard shook his head and pushed the dead chess piece, expressing his resignation. He said with emotion: "Sure enough, young people like you, Aizen-sensei, can master this new thing quickly. You are no match for it."

Aizen, who has a natural 46-year-old hairstyle and a youthful face, smiled modestly: "It's because I don't do my job properly and spend more time on military ritual chess."

"Haha, don't say that. In the team led by Teacher Aizen in the past two years, the ratio of trainee hunters to junior hunters has been the highest. If you say that you are not doing your job properly, other teachers may not like to hear it." The principal of the Hunter School and former candidate for the God of Hunting King Lu laughed.

Speaking of Aizen in front of him, his opinion has changed several times from the beginning to now.

At first I didn't like it very much.

From the perspective of talent, Aizen is an out-and-out genius, and he also took advantage of the supernatural medicine. He awakened his supernatural power at the age of only 19 and became a member of the numbered hunters.

Although numbered hunters are not as valuable as before, they are not in ruins. Aizen started out as the second vice-president of the Hunters Guild in a third-level city. He worked diligently during his tenure. There was no trouble in the past three years, and his strength has steadily increased.

Unexpectedly, when he became a full-time deputy, Aizen suddenly resigned from the Hunter Guild and applied to be transferred to the Hunter School to serve as an ordinary teacher.

Where is the Hunter School?

Although they are the key to cultivating the next generation, with the threat of monsters, teachers are basically those who have little potential, little room for improvement, are not good at fighting, or have been injured and lacked strength like him. The hunter who retreated steadily came to serve.

Aizen's behavior seemed like a deserter to him, an old hunter.

But after getting along with him, he found that this young man was humble and polite, handled everything in an orderly manner, and was outstanding in both interpersonal relationships and teaching stability.

Then I gradually started to appreciate him, and now I feel that the other person is ‘like gold, and can shine wherever I am’!

"I don't know why the main guild suddenly promoted this very niche chess game."

Wang Lu shook his head, pushed Junyi aside, and took out a letter: "I didn't come here to ask you to play chess with me. Teacher Aizen, guess what's in this?"

"Is it from the research institute?" Aizen's face showed the anticipation of a young man.

"Haha, boy, when you applied to be transferred to the school, did you just go to the research institute?"

"No no no..."

"It's okay. It's a pity that you stay in school all your life. Moreover, this is just a notice for further study. I think Teacher Aizen should be able to balance the relationship between his own study and teaching. After all, you have time to study military honors." Wang Lu joked.

Aizen took the notice with both hands.

Wang Lu continued: "And you have a good vision, and you really want to do something practical. Most people are not willing to apply to become Associate Professor Wu Sen's student and live a life of dealing with soil all day long."

Professor Wu Sen was just an ordinary farmer six or seven years ago. He had been farming for decades and gained a lot of experience.

One of them had promotion value, nearly doubling the buckwheat yield per acre, and was immediately rewarded and recruited by the Hunter Guild.

In recent years, in addition to promoting the cultivation of coarse grains such as buckwheat, he has also contributed two similar improvements and obtained the title of associate professor.

Although his contribution is not small, his educational level is very low. The researchers at the institute will respect him, but they feel that the possibility of him making a breakthrough in the future is very low and the work is very hard, so he applied to him. Just very few.

However, in the eyes of an experienced hunter like Wang Lu, who has served as the principal of the Hunter School for more than ten years and is well-informed, he naturally knows that nothing is a fluke. Associate Professor Wu Sen must have strong talents and accumulated experience. If you can create something big, it will be difficult to follow it in the future.

Aizen didn't shy away from it, he opened the letter directly in front of Wang Lu and read it, and then thanked Wang Lu after reading it.

Wang Lu waved his hand and said, "I wish Teacher Lan Ran will make great achievements in agriculture."

"Thank you, principal, for your kind words."

Aizen smiled and excused himself. After walking out of the principal's office, he put the letter in his arms.

'Haha, Associate Professor Wu Sen...'

On the other side, Associate Professor Wu Sen, who looked about 60 years old and looked like an ordinary old man, was walking in the fields, but still felt a little confused in his heart.

"Aizen? Isn't this Ji Xing's person? I didn't get close to him, why did he take the initiative to find me? Is this Ji Xing's intention?"

After receiving Ji Xing's 'cultivation reminder', the God of Ancient Trees, whose pseudonym was Wu Sen, felt confused: "Yes, Ji Xing doesn't know that Bai Ling and I know about Aizen, do you want to use this to plot something?" ?

Haha, naive, even if there is you behind my back, he is just a young hunter. Just communicate with Bai Ling and let them do whatever they want. "

…

"Let him do whatever he wants."

Shu probably didn't know, Ji Xing knew that Aizen applied to him later than he did.

After bringing Aizen to the Demon Continent for eight years, Aizen has always had autonomy and freedom. Ji Xing has basically not interfered with any of his actions, and Aizen is not someone who needs Ji Xing to worry about.

As long as there is no fear of betrayal, Aizen is a trump card when needed, and when not needed, just let him enjoy the world by himself.

During this period of time, Ji Xing was more concerned about military ceremony. According to his investigation, this chess game, which was thought to be unique to the hunter world, has been passed down in the demon continent for an unknown period of time.

Just like chess and go, the identity of the inventor is unknown, but it is extremely niche.

Now, because of his interest, it has been widely promoted. Li He, the father of supernatural medicine, has a very high prestige.

"In this case, it doesn't seem like there is a senior who traveled through time. It's strange that some habits of military ceremony are evolved from Japanese." With insufficient information, Ji Xing could only make some groundless guesses based on what he knew.

In another seven years, maybe we can know?

He paid attention to the other half of his consciousness.

[Estimated time left for invasion: 0 days, 0 hours, 23 minutes and 18 seconds]

Unknowingly, three months have almost passed, and Ji Xing will soon know what kind of changes have happened in the invaded world!

...

Mysterious Tower, first floor.

The initial town, Black Iron Palace.

A chestnut-haired girl wearing a hooded robe and painted with mouse whiskers on her face was standing in a daze in front of a huge black stone tablet.

"Two and a half years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Suddenly, she sighed deeply.

Her name is Argo. She was originally a girl with a severe internet addiction. She made a living by playing games and served as an intelligence dealer in various online games. She was well-known.

With the development of technology, a few years ago, the virtual reality technology NERDLES gradually matured. Later, quantum physicist and game designer Akihiko Kayaba put this technology into application and developed the first civilian machine NERvGear. The virtual reality game SAO Sword Art Online was born.

Luckily, Argo got one of the 1,000 closed beta qualifications to experience the game in advance, and naturally became one of the 10,000 public beta players. She put on the helmet at the first time of the public beta two and a half years ago, ready to show her skills in this first virtual reality game.

As a result, supernatural phenomena occurred!

It cannot be explained by scientific principles.

No one could have predicted it.

It was like a joke from the gods. The 10,000 players wearing helmets were shrouded by a strange force and disappeared on the spot.

Then they came to this mysterious tower.

It is very similar to the Aincrad world in the SAO game, both of which are 100-story towers. As long as the player goes through each level and clears 100 floors, they can pass the game and get rewards.

But this mysterious tower is much larger than the Aincrad world, and the difficulty is even more exaggerated.

The first 20 floors are considered the novice area. From the 21st floor, the difficulty increases in circles. Every multiple of 5, the difficulty increases again. Players have experienced extraordinary power, but they are also tortured to death. As far as she knows, the most advanced strategy team has been stuck at a big level, the 50th floor, for two months, and they haven't even found the Boss door yet.

At this rate, the more difficult 50 floors behind may take another ten or eight years, and they may have to spend half their lives here.

At this moment, she stood here at the stone tablet to wait for new players.

Although the players move in the mysterious tower with their real bodies, if they die, they will not really die. In addition to certain monsters and traps, at the moment of death, players will be protected by the power that sent them here and teleported back to where they came from.

Losing everything in the game, unable to return to this mysterious "game", only retaining the memories of this side, like having a long dream.

So the reality has already understood the situation here, and most people are excited and enthusiastic about the strategy of this mysterious tower.

"Dead" players can no longer enter the game, and the helmets are vacant. In addition to the helmets of 10,000 closed beta testers, there are also 300,000+ helmets produced in the same batch for sale, which also have the effect of sending people to the mysterious tower.

However, the helmets produced later do not have such an effect, and 300,000+ are still not enough.

The military and the consortium have taken action, and the players here have been rotated many times. Although the number is still maintained at 300,000+, at least 3 million people have experienced it. There are probably not many players left in the first batch.

This is also the reason why she is not optimistic about the strategy for the last 50 floors. It took 3 million people to explore the first 49 floors, and how many young and middle-aged people can play this game and are good at playing it?

The quality of "new players" is getting worse and worse.

And because a unique "resurrection grass" was discovered on the 46th floor not long ago, it can revive the other party within half an hour of the player's death. Although it is accompanied by a very dangerous immortal disease and is difficult to obtain, it still reduces the mortality rate of the strategy group.

In addition, more and more helmets are controlled by major forces, and new players are even rarer.

Due to various reasons, the person in charge who always waited in front of the initial stone tablet that recorded the names of all players and the first person to recruit new players on behalf of the guild and intelligence brokers like her are getting fewer and fewer, and there are not many people around.

She thought that there were no people buying intelligence recently, and there was no new intelligence, so she just stood here stupidly.

Just as she was thinking about another fruitless day, she suddenly caught a name at the end of the stone tablet from the corner of her eye.

'Ji Xing'.

Guarded it? !

With a sudden start, Argo turned and rushed out of the Black Iron Palace, looking towards the Initial Square.

A figure was emerging there.

Argo looked over, his eyes gradually straightened, and his inner emotions could only be summed up with "F*ck".

'How come... so tall and strong? ! '

3k2, two updates today, one more to go, it will be late.
