I rely on copies to build infrastructure

Since he was not in a hurry to leave, Qin Lu decided to change his scheduled plan.

He originally planned to pass through the two squares as soon as possible. Although the route he chose was not the shortest, it also took into account both risk and efficiency. Many corners of Marville City were originally out of his sight.But now he changed his mind and began to re-examine the city, and some details that had been ignored before gradually surfaced.

He now has a guess that the owner of this Marvila city is not some time order company, but an old acquaintance of him and Xiaoren, who manipulated and led a series of BUG copies behind the scenes. The Cthulhu evil god who lost his real body on the Aurora Goddess after being injured in the Hong Kong Asia Space!

Although this thing looks scary, it is actually strong on the outside and capable on the inside, and it is just a few tricks to use back and forth.For example, replacement parts in Steam Dungeon and organ fraud in Cold Spring Harbor are one-stop crimes. Using glass jars to extract energy to support the body is no different from the Goddess of Aurora. These are leftovers from previous games, and now they are transplanted to Marvela as a whole. In the city, it is always changing the soup but not the medicine.

The evil god collected resources before to support his own body, and now he still does the same thing when his body is gone, probably to recreate a new body.However, it was hidden in the system before, borrowing the resources of the Wanjie system to suck blood, and ordinary players would not easily find it.Now it is hunted down by the system, and has to commit itself to a barren wild dungeon, and has to do all the conveniences by itself.

Qin Lu felt that, based on that thing, it seemed that he couldn't play any new tricks, and most of them copied the familiar methods in the completion system before.He himself manages the island, and he is familiar with the dirty mess who is the successor of the great engineer Nairin, and he is also familiar with certain settings of the city's energy system operation.

Sure enough, in some hidden corners of the city, he discovered the key functional areas that maintain the existence of the city.Qin Lu standardized these places one by one, and soon discovered the mystery. It turned out that this city of Mervella was completely modeled after the dungeon setting of the Hunger Wasteland, and even the location of the central steam furnace had not changed!

This is... so convenient.

Qin Lu had been to the underground city when he was in Steam Wasteland, and he was deeply impressed by it.After returning to Chestnut Island, he and Zang Zang had repeatedly reviewed the game when they were chatting, and they had a relatively deep understanding of the upper and lower structures of Wasteland City, and they were also familiar with its flaws.

Occasionally, Dirty would also talk about Nailin's ideas, his original intention of building the Wasteland City, and the blueprints that were gradually altered by the residents.The design of Wasteland City is not perfect. To build a shelter in the harsh environment, Nairin spent his entire life of wisdom and energy to achieve internal and external balance.It's just that this balance is fragile, and a few key points must not be touched, and the whole thing will be destroyed if you are not careful.

And now, these key points have also been completely moved to the city of Marvela.Thanks Dirty!Science and engineering are indeed essential skills for human survival. It would be great to have a great engineer as a friend!

"Here, here, and here."

Qin Lu's fingers pointed to several places on the map.

"We have to go to these three places, and we must find a way to destroy them."

The red-eyed kid nodded, rubbed his hands, and looked serious.

"How bad does little brother want to be?"

He can help with the destruction. Whether it is smashed into slag or crushed into powder, he has no problem and guarantees to complete the task.

Qin Lu: ...

"It doesn't have to be too bad. These places are the transfer points of the city's energy operation, and a little failure is enough."

Dirty once said that the above-ground and underground parts of Wasteland City are a fragile high-fluidity cycle, and any blockage will affect the balance of the overall operation, and Marvela City is no exception.

It's just that what they see now is part of the cycle, and the other side of Marvela hasn't been found yet, so he guessed that the mastermind behind the scenes is probably hiding there.

The notification sounded from the wristband, and the time limit for staying was reached, Qin Lu needed to shake the dice to move on.

He re-routed, and luckily got to 3 kilometers, which was within the distance of his planned destination.

This mechanism is a bit like flying chess. Route planning is one thing. Whether you can really reach it depends on the number that the dice will come out. Once you exceed the predetermined location, you can only continue to move forward, re-plan the route and come back.

However, in this way, the player's stay in Marvila City will be prolonged, and the pervasive advertisements and promotional videos will brainwash the player intensively, assimilating them into believers of the Age of Order Company, and becoming the nourishment of the city.

Fortunately, Qin Lu didn't have this worry.He had already seen through the small actions of Marvela City, and all coercion and temptation could not shake his sanity.He has almost no scruples in this city unless the people behind the scenes are violent.

As the bus pulled into the station, Qin Lu calmly avoided the traps laid by people with crooked necks, and sat calmly in his seat.

This time the car was almost fully loaded, and most of them were Marvelans with crooked necks. Seeing his state when he got into the car, he was extremely dumbfounded, and the car fell into a rare silence.

Qin Lu turned his head and smiled at a passenger whose neck was tilted to forty degrees. He was satisfied to see the frightened expression on his face.

"Do you feel tightness in the chest and shortness of breath? These are all diseases and need to be treated."

As he spoke, he took out a square piece of metal and shook it in front of the crooked-necked passenger.

"The family's ancestral face-diagnosis artifact can collect cosmic rays and convert them into energy. Just take a photo and you will know the root of the disease."

Qin Lu deliberately made his voice louder, directly covering the background sound of the video played in the car.When he came up, he was already the focus of attention, and now he has created another "magic weapon", which naturally attracted the attention of crooked necks who thought they were sick.

"But...but... how could you see us?"

The crooked neck behind him stammered.

"Of course relying on the ancestral artifact."

Qin Lu smiled mysteriously and shook the metal piece in his hand.

"You are all knowledgeable people, and I don't want to brag in front of you, why don't you let this big brother try it out first!"

As he said that, he threw the iron piece directly in front of the crooked-neck man.

The person was carefully selected by him, and the guy in the car was the one with the least crooked neck, the lowest degree of brainwashing, and the most likely to be broken.

Although people have the mentality of conforming to the crowd, the collapse of belief does not require the collapse of the majority of people. It only needs to create a small gap and buy a seed of doubt, and the subsequent work will naturally be completed with the help of humanity.

Qin Lu's movements were quick, and before the crooked man had time to react, the smooth iron sheet had already reflected his true reflection.

"I……"

The man wanted to back away at first, but his sight was blocked by the iron plate. When he saw his neck bent at a weird angle, he was so frightened that he felt bad.

"This... what kind of monster is this?!"

Even though he said this, he could actually see that it was his own image.

Appearance, clothing, facial expressions, and movements are all out of sync on May Day.The only difference is the neck, he never knew that his neck could be twisted to such an extent!

"Have you seen any symptoms?"

Qin Lu asked him with a smile.

"Guest, your standing habits don't seem to be very good. If the cervical spine keeps bending like this, it will affect your breathing sooner or later."

"Liar, liar!"

The crooked neck man blushed and roared loudly.

"What kind of bluffing method are you doing? You can take a picture of me like this, you... are you trying to cheat my purification coupon!? Let me tell you, there is no way! Go ahead and live your big dream!"

Qin Lu was not angry when he scolded him like this, he just shook his head, looking very good-tempered.

"No, guest, our trial is completely free, without any fees."

As he spoke, he raised the metal piece in his hand and asked the people behind the carriage.

"Anyone else want to try it? It's completely free."

As he said this, no one moved for a long time.

But the metal piece is held there, as long as you move it a little, you can see the figure reflected inside.

"It's all crooked necks, you must have done something wrong!"

"That's right! It can't be that everyone's neck is sick! The angle of this piece of metal is wrong, there must be bumps!"

"is it?"

Qin Lu scratched his head with an innocent look on his face.

"Impossible, I polished it myself."

As he spoke, he turned around and held up the metal sheet, taking his own image into it like a selfie.

"No, mine isn't quite normal yet."

As he spoke, he also changed positions, trying his best to let all the passengers in the car see his situation clearly.

"With your necks crooked like this, don't you feel chest tightness, heart palpitations, and difficulty breathing? The last few uncles and aunts, if your necks are crooked any more, you will be broken. How can you live with a broken neck? You can't even breathe. Don’t the bones in the neck hurt? It’s better to correct the crooked neck as soon as possible..."

In a passage, words such as "crooked" and "neck" were repeatedly mentioned. Qin Lu wanted to use this method to awaken the player's consciousness.

This is the inspiration he got at the last stop. Brainwashed players can see the truth through him, but whether to believe it depends on personal choice.For example, No. 5's neck returned to normal before he died because he discovered the truth of the world from the sketch map, but the passengers in the car were obviously poisoned more deeply. Qin Lu worked hard for so long, and only the first player was dubious. There is a slight lift.

Qin Lu noticed the change keenly, and induced Tao without losing the opportunity.

"My guest, I see that your neck has straightened a little now, why don't you look in the mirror and straighten it again, maybe you will see immediate results."

"is it?"

The man touched his neck and straightened subconsciously.

"It seems to be better than before, and it's easier to breathe..."

He twisted against the metal plate again, and his neck gradually returned to a near-normal angle, and his breathing began to normal.

"Not to mention, it's really effective!"

The man patted himself on the neck with a dubious look on his face.

"But the Times of Order company said that pollution is everywhere, so do I have to purify my disease?"

When he said this, his neck was still crooked, but not to the extent that it would affect his breathing.This kind of person is also an easy target to be deceived in reality, and will follow the trend if there is any trouble.But Zuo Qin Lu didn't want to destroy Marvela's faith immediately, he just needed a chance to pry doubts.

"What is purifying? Doesn't it cost money? It's true that you improved your condition for free. If you don't believe me, you can try it. There is no cost anyway."

With that said, he put the piece of metal on the ground and said very arrogantly.

"I'll just put the stuff here. Anyone who is interested can use it freely, and I will give you a trial product."

"If you use it well, you can help me promote it. I don't need points. If you have a fixed mileage coupon, you can trade it to me. One metal mirror per kilometer."

To be honest, the price is not high, so many people are tempted.

The mileage coupon is a reward for rolling the No. 6 dice. When used, it can replace the dice to determine the mileage. The distance is 1-6 kilometers. People who have stayed in the city for a long time have a lot of them.

Although this thing is useful, it doesn't need a lot if you don't leave Marville City, so players don't feel bad about it.

On the contrary, it is purification treatment, which costs points.At the beginning, the number of points needed is not much, and it is easy to obtain. After a few times, the number of points increases exponentially, but the degree of remission is very limited.

If it weren't for being really breathless, it would be impossible to live, and not everyone is willing to bear the sky-high price of "eternal life"!

This kid is right, it doesn't cost money anyway, so why not try it?
