Soul echo

Chapter 82 System Upgrade
Before the sun rose, Zhong Ye knocked on the door of Lilian's room, packed his bags, and quietly came to the backyard of the hotel to take the horse away.

When he reached the gate of the town, Zhong Ye opened the gate first, let the horse carry the luggage and Lilian out, then closed the gate, and jumped out from the wall.

So, when Lilian logged into the game, she found that they were already wandering in the wilderness.

——[Good guy, it's been a few days since you haven't played the game, right? 】

——[The hosting system is also a bit unreliable, so the phantom didn't plan to change the game mechanism? 】

——[Isn't this quite true?After all, the game has been calculating in real time...]

Because this mechanic doesn't affect you... Or do you mean you don't play the game at all?

Looking at these bullet screens, Lilian didn't want to say anything anymore.

Many game mechanics of "Echo of Soul" have been criticized for a long time. Although they have changed a lot after being complained, the tone has not changed.

According to Illusion Company, they made this game as if it were the real world, and they are unwilling to sacrifice authenticity for the sake of gameplay—even if the game will not be sold because of this.

"Lilian, come down." Zhong Ye, who had been looking around for something, suddenly said.

The girl clumsily reined in the reins, turned over and dismounted.

After a few days of study, she has learned the basic riding skills. Although she has not been recognized by the system, she has already received a message.

Lilian even had a feeling that if she could have the physical fitness and mobility in the game in real life, maybe she could also ride a horse in reality... probably!

Zhong Ye took out a hand crossbow and a pair of arrows from his luggage - he hadn't used these things since he bought them.

"See that rabbit?"

Zhong Ye handed the crossbow to Lilian, and pointed to a gray rabbit under the grass not far away.

Lilian took a few glances before realizing the figure of the rabbit.

Looking up at the sky, Zhong Ye put his luggage off the horse and tied the pack horse to a tree.

"From now until noon, try to catch it. I'll wait for you here. If you haven't come back by noon, I'll go find you." Zhong Ye put the big sword aside and sat cross-legged, "Not necessarily If it’s that rabbit, any rabbit will do, if you can bring one back, I’ll consider adjusting the teaching plan—this is an exam, go for it!”

After Zhong Ye finished speaking, Lilian immediately bowed to him, then turned and ran into the forest.

Seeing the girl's back disappear into the jungle, Zhong Ye withdrew his gaze and turned to look beside him, "Do you still want to hide?"

Immediately, green light spots floated out from the surrounding plants, condensing into a half-human tall fairy in the air.

This goblin has beautiful long golden hair, exquisite facial features, wearing a long green dress, and four dragonfly-like membranous wings on the back.

She appeared in front of Zhong Ye, and raised her skirt to him, "Hello, dear player, we have heard your valuable suggestions, and we came here specially to install a new version of your personal system for you."

Sure enough, the gods are the production team of "Echo of Soul"...

Although there has been speculation for a long time, but until now, that speculation has not been confirmed.

"My system hasn't been updated?" Zhong Ye raised his eyebrows.

The goblin nodded and smiled: "Yes, when I installed the system for you, the system used was the most advanced version at the time, but after more than a month of upgrades, your system has fallen behind the existing system by several versions. , it is difficult to interface with other players’ systems.”

Hearing this, Zhong Ye's expression became weird, "Is there a bug?"

"... Nothing." The fairy's smile became a little forced.

Zhong Ye expressed his understanding: "BUG is also part of the code, I know that."

The goblin kept smiling, without saying a word to Zhong Ye, and opened a golden light curtain in front of her.

[System upgrade, please wait later——]

When this line of subtitles appeared on the retina, Zhong Ye couldn't help but shook his head, "It's so good that you didn't learn it, and the bad ones learned a lot..."

Only this time the goblin was unmoved, as if he hadn't heard what he said.

Just when the goblin was concentrating on upgrading Zhong Ye's personal system, he asked casually, "By the way, what is 'divinity'? There shouldn't be many false gods in this world, and you guys won't support players in killing gods, right?" ?”

The body was swept by Zhong Ye's gaze, the goblin couldn't help but shuddered, and could only answer helplessly: "...the high-level demons also have 'divinity'."

Now that the story has come to this point, the goblin does not intend to continue to hide it, and simply let go and said: "Let's be honest, the reason why we created "Echo of Soul" is to let you help us fight against the abyss. The main task in the later stage is to 'fight against the abyss'. According to our understanding of the group of 'players', in order to upgrade your level, you will definitely do your best to deal with the abyss and demons."

"That's why you set the soul fragments required for leveling up so high?" Zhong Ye asked again.

"No!"

The goblin suddenly raised his face, "What do you think is an 'extraordinary'? What is a 'legendary'? Or, do you know what 'legendary' means?"

Zhong Ye naturally shook his head, he is not from the world of Dan, and it has not been long since he traveled to this world, so it is impossible to know this.

Glancing at the screen, he found that the system upgrade had entered an automatic process. The goblin retracted his gaze and said seriously: "Before talking about this, you need to understand a concept-the foundation of any kind of extraordinary power in this world is' soul'.

"'All miracles originate from the soul'. Extraordinary power in our world is also a kind of 'miracle'."

As she said that, she might feel that it might be difficult to understand, so she gave an example: "For example, the 'Qi' you are practicing now, although it acts on the body, but the root is also the soul. You know, your body is In the original version, if people in our Dan world have 'supernatural organs' to obtain supernatural abilities, how can you, a person on earth, with an original carbon-based organism on the earth, also have supernatural abilities?

"The game "Soul Echo" is developed based on the soul. We project the player's soul over and create a body for them in this world..."

"and many more!"

Zhong Ye suddenly interrupted his words.

He frowned, and looked at the goblin seriously, "The player has learned the 'extraordinary power' in this world, can it be used on Earth?"

The goblin was silent for a while, then sighed: "...the soul and the body are always one. If their soul becomes stronger, it will definitely affect the body."

Hearing this, Zhong Ye also fell silent.

He was silent for a long time, during which he wanted to say something, but he always stopped talking.

Finally, he shook his head and stopped thinking about these things.

These things should be considered by the countries and governments of the earth. Judging from his previous participation in the closed beta, the gods of Dan’s world have long had a relationship with the earth’s regime, and there is no need for him, who has traveled to another world. Little people' worry.

"Why do you want me to travel here?"

Zhong Ye asked this doubt that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Why not someone else, but me?"

It's a pity that the goblin shook his head and said: "I'm not in charge of this, you have to ask the 'God of the Sky' this question, but they probably don't have time to contact you in a short time, the abyss has been very important to our world recently. The intrusions are becoming more and more frequent, even the Oneiroi has fallen because of this, and the family goddesses are still having a headache how to release this news."

"The gods... perish?" Zhong Ye opened his mouth slightly.

"Didn't you get a 'dream shard' before?" The goblin pointed at his head, "That's a piece of theocracy of Oneiroi. Fragment of theocracy, in order to cover it up, we have specially set up several layers of protection."

——The traits of [Dream Walker]!

Zhong Ye reacted immediately.

"All right!"

The goblin clapped both hands to put away the light curtain, and Zhong Ye also saw the prompt of [upgrade completed].

"It's time for me to go back. Before I go back, let me remind you: don't be fooled by the illusion brought about by 'upgrade'. That is not the root of your strength."

Before Zhong Ye could ask, the goblin waved his hand and disappeared into the air, leaving only one sentence behind.

【Come on!Boy surnamed Zhong, I am very optimistic about you! 】

Looking at the empty space in front of him, Zhong Ye put down his slightly raised hand, lowered his eyes, and silently sorted out the terrifying information he had just heard.

Even if it's just 'chatting', the amount of information is... too much.
