No one knows the strategy better than me!

Before Zhou Nanze had time to deeply mourn the untimely death of the panel, he heard chaotic sounds from outside, the cries of people, the crisp sound of things breaking, and the unemotional artificial voice of Bald.

Is it bald and convulsing again?

Thinking of this, Zhou Nanze got out of the tent, and the scene in front of him left him dumbfounded.

The open space where they pitched their tent was originally empty, but now it is filled with all kinds of strange puppets, some of which have been broken into parts, but they are still dragging their bodies with one hand and crawling towards them.

They were dilapidated, with red eyes and creaking joints.This should have been a terrifying scene——

If you ignore the sounds they make.

"Have you eaten? Have you eaten?" The head of a white puppet rolled on the ground. "Have you eaten? I ate glutinous rice balls!"

Another puppet that was so rusty that it couldn't see its color was wriggling on the ground: "Steam lamb, steam bear's paw, steam deer tail!"

The white puppet yelled: "Our great sage, I like the most—"

All the puppets shouted in unison: "Wife! Wife!"

The white puppet lowered his voice: "Oh, yo, it's not a real wife."

All the puppets shouted in unison: "Virtual wife! Virtual wife!"

White puppet: "Yo! Yo!"

The whole expedition was dumbfounded.

What is this all about?

These puppets did not attack, but just pulled everyone's trousers and asked if they had eaten and if they had wives.

After being dumbfounded for a while, Sang Fei asked Zhou Nanze in a low voice, "Do you know what's going on?"

Zhou Nanze pondered for a while, and replied with some uncertainty: "I know that there are similar phenomena in modern society."

"what?"

"Artificial mental retardation."

"..."

"As far as I can guess, that's how it happened."

Among the crowd, the experienced Professor Zheng finally spoke.

"After these two days of investigation, we can be sure that, unlike the mausoleum-style relics we have excavated before, this is a heritage relic. The original purpose of the great sage building here was to show his achievements to future generations ..."

At this time, a puppet grabbed his trousers: "Do you have a wife?"

Professor Zheng turned a blind eye and had a strong psychological quality.

"These puppets are the masterpieces of the great sages, so they are placed here. It is conceivable that they were the representatives of the peak development of magic civilization at the beginning. It is definitely not what it is now."

The puppet tilted his head: "Understood, you don't have a wife. It's so pitiful."

Professor Zheng had faint veins throbbing on his forehead.

"So, what made them what they are now? Of course, the years have played a huge role, and the previous collapse was also one of the reasons.

"This underground building was reinforced by the great sage with special means, so it didn't collapse, but the impact of the vibration shattered the shackles of these puppets, and there was our battle with Doudou, and these...uh ...artificial mental retardation."

The puppet continued to murmur: "Oh, he has no wife, he is so pitiful..."

Professor Zheng finally couldn't bear it anymore. "Shut up, my wife and I have known each other since childhood, from school uniforms to wedding dresses."

"grumble?"

The puppet left Professor Zheng disappointed, turned its head around, and finally locked onto Zhou Nanze.

"Do you have a wife?" repeated the puppet.

Ah, now...he really doesn't have one.

Zhou Nanze was speechless, stretched out his tentacles, and angrily tore it apart.

With the help of the only relatively normal bald among the puppets, everyone worked together, and it took two full days to turn off these artificial mentally retarded people.Many puppets are broken and cannot be controlled by their own switches. Everyone has to conduct on-site research and teaching, dismantle these magic puppets, and use physical methods to stop them.

Their progress was so slow that the people on the ground were worried, for fear that they would encounter some unknown danger.In addition, there was no signal here, and as a last resort, a 2S-level boss volunteered to rescue the expedition team.

When Qi Song appeared in front of a group of artificial mentally retarded people, everyone was shocked.

Sang Fei asked: "Why are you here? What about our headquarters?"

Qi Song glanced at the members of the sharp knife mercenary group, and said, "Luo Xing promised to help me take care of them, and let me come down to rescue you."

Luo Xing is the 2S boss who wears a lo skirt and carries a sword.

Ignoring those members of the mercenary regiment who hugged each other and shouted "Wow, that's great, Boss", Qi Song asked the rest what difficulties they encountered, and what happened.After learning about their experiences in the past few days, the corners of Qi Song's mouth twitched.

"Then keep going."

Everyone: "Yes!"

No matter what difficulties and obstacles there are, with a 2S boss, why can't you beat A?

As a result, they walked for a while and arrived at the door of the central meditation room without encountering anything.Pushing open the door engraved with complicated patterns and inlaid with five-color crystals, they entered a circular room.

At this moment, the panel displayed that [Submission 1: Find the Central Meditation Room] was completed.

On the circular wall of the meditation room, there are all kinds of strange figures drawn with flashing ink, there are six-pointed stars that look like magic circles, there are strange unknown characters, and there are geometric figures marked with formulas.After many years, it still looks like a new painting with no signs of fading.

There are obvious lines on the walls, which look like secret doors closed together, a total of five.Each secret door is inlaid with spars of different colors, shining faintly.

In the center of the room stood a huge crystal ball, and dazzling light flowed in it, illuminating the entire space.

"Wow."

A member of the Peace Academy looked at the crystal ball and expressed emotion.

"Is there really magic?"

Most people are obsessed with the magic of magic, but Qi Song, who has seen strong winds and waves, is very calm.He looked carefully at the arrangement of the meditation room vigilantly, his eyes locked on the floor near the wall.

He raised his hand to the crowd. "Stay back, there may be a secret passage there."

Everyone retreated obediently, and saw that Qi Song really opened the floor, and there was a dark hole underneath, and there was a staircase leading to an unknown place.

Qi Song told them to stay where they were, and be on guard, then went down by himself.

After Qi Song's figure disappeared, everyone couldn't help discussing.

"What do you think that is?"

"Ah, it may be a secret room with richer treasures."

"Really? Have you ever excavated such a relic before?"

"No, that's what I read in novels."

"..."

At this time, a clear shout came from the underground passage: "Grass!"

Everyone tensed up.Is that Qi Song cursing?

You know, Qi Song is a well-known gentle and elegant existence among the wilderness bosses, and it is definitely not a problem they can solve to make Qi Song come and go!

When he was hesitating whether to go down to check, Qi Song got out from the underground passage.

Sang Fei anxiously stepped forward to support him.

"What's the matter, teacher? What's on the other side of the passage?"

The corner of Qi Song's mouth twitched: "Exit."

"What exit?" Sang Fei was confused.

"The exit of the ruins." Qi Song supported his forehead. "After you came in, at the first fork in the road, you chose to go left. But go right, this is the passage."

Everyone: "..."

"That is, if we go to the right, we can get here in 30 seconds."

Zhou Nanze concluded sadly.

Sang Fei added dully: "And we chose to follow the bald head to the left, fought the giant magic puppets, and were forced to repair a bunch of artificial retarded people. It took us several days to get here."

"What about bald?"

"Made artificially retarded!"

"Hammer it!"

"What kind of dog relic is this!"

After a while of flying around, everyone finally accepted this cruel reality and began to study the crystal ball in the center.They touched the crystal ball with their hands, input powers, and attacked it... After a set of operations, the crystal ball not only did not move, but also seemed to laugh.

Zhou Nanze put on his [Qing Qi Blind Master] skill, thought for a moment, then had a flash of inspiration, and shouted towards the crystal ball:

"Hey, crystal ball!"

The crystal ball shines brightly.

Everyone suddenly felt that as a modern person, they were far behind the great sages hundreds of years ago.

After a while, the light dissipated, and a person was projected in the crystal ball.This is a young guy with silver hair and gray eyes, and looks a little handsome, with a hood and a magic book in his hand.

"Hello, my future apprentices, I am the great sage Xingge, welcome to my inheritance ceremony."

A member of the Peace Academy asked curiously: "Is this also artificial mental retardation?"

The great sage heard it and smiled. "Are you talking about the gadgets I made? They are not very clever. Since you have come here, it means that you have chosen the right route and have not fallen into the trap of baldness. As for me, no, I am not a puppet , I am a ray of consciousness left by the great sage."

"Next, let me introduce the origin of this ruin to you.

"I know that in your era, the inheritance of magic has been lost. It is precisely because of this prediction that I lost everything in my later years to build this ruin, with the purpose of restoring the inheritance of magic."

The great sage shook his head sadly: "Now, you have no culture at all, and you fight all by your own awakened talent, and you still call it superpower. It's too good, it's really too bad."

When everyone heard this, their hearts were filled with turmoil.It turns out that they are also people who can become magicians. According to the great sage, is he going to teach them magic?

They really didn't expect that there would be such unexpected gains during the exploration of the ruins.Although gold, silver, treasures and cultural relics are good, they are far inferior to a super knowledge system, which is a good thing that can overturn the world.

Qi Song restrained his excitement and asked politely: "Then, Your Excellency the Great Sage, how do you plan to pass it on to us?"

"Did you see those five doors?" The great sage pointed to the five secret doors on the wall and said, "I have prepared four checkpoints. Every time you pass one, a door will be unlocked. Enter the last challenge and become my disciple, the inheritance in the last door belongs to the disciple."

After the great sage finished speaking, the panel responded.

[Sub-quest 2: Pass the test of the great sage]

Tip: Please use your skills and strengths boldly!

"So, now proceed to the first checkpoint: Combat Strength Test."

"I have prepared some dolls for leisure and entertainment. All you have to do is to defeat them."

After the great sage finished speaking, a teleportation array rose up, and a phantom as high as that hall appeared at the other end.

The great sage suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Wait, where's my puppet?"

"...Forget it and skip it. Then, now proceed to the second level..."

Everyone: "..."

Is this seemingly lofty inheritance ceremony so casual?
