The Truth of Magic - Chapter 319

319 the countdown to zero

after feeling that something was wrong with his body, zhao xu left the concert square very early. he didn’t feel any heartache at the fact that he had only used up half of his tickets.

Zhao Xu didn’t expect that when Zheng xinyun recited the prayer that he had given her, the resonance would actually increase to a certain extent, and he could sense it on the spot.

that feeling was like an invisible chain that sprang out from the other party’s body and directly integrated into his body. it was as if the pulse of his heart was rising and falling in response to the two.

If Zhao Xu continued to maintain this wondrous connection, he might even be able to locate the other person and even sense the other person’s condition.

in fact, he could already feel the change in zheng xinyun’s mentality from the friction of the divine power sparks in just a moment.

Even Zhao Xu, who had never come into contact with this sort of divine power before, was secretly shocked by it.

it was only after zheng xinyun stopped chanting that the connection gradually weakened and broke off. this was also related to the other party’s lack of energy.

zhao xu had originally thought that there was only a 30% chance that the other party would enter the game.

After that, through the entire process of him pushing the boat along with the current, the probability had increased to at least 50%.

when zheng xinyun was finally willing to recite the prayer incantation, he was certain that she would eventually enter the game arthur.

At that moment, Zhao Xu was standing on the gate of the subway and he watched as the train that didn’t make it in time just left.

It wasn’t until the next train arrived that Zhao Xu quietly got on the train and found a corner. He closed his eyes and started to think.

The moment the divine power was activated, he had a slight understanding of the energy passage.

unfortunately, he was not in the world of arthur at the moment, and all his thoughts could only be made into preliminary deductions in his mind.

But Zhao Xu’s goal was to achieve a true connection between the two worlds at a certain key point.

in the past, zhao xu could only rely on his basic skills to follow what others said, so he naturally didn’t dare to imagine how this kind of manipulation could happen.

However, now that his true intelligence had been raised to a high enough level, some challenges were no longer a challenge to him.

Especially when Antonya had taken him to that mysterious research facility and had shown him the incantations carved on the eight huge Mithril panels.

He had already revealed a huge secret to him. it made him stand on the shoulders of countless giants.

It allowed Zhao Xu to start thinking from his own perspective and see the probability of a few possible solutions.

As long as the Association successfully opened up a material channel, he would be able to sit on the stable channel and enjoy the benefits, achieving ” smuggling ”

zhao xu didn’t really want to use arthur’s magical items to affect earth before he transmigrated.

he was driven by his instinctive thought of ” steady development ” to seek more cards that could keep him safe.

The sudden loss of internet connection this time had made Zhao Xu realize the butterfly effect he could cause.

this was especially so since the effect was from arthur’s amplification to the real world. The millions of Arthur players ‘movements in the past two days were completely different from his previous life.

So what Zhao Xu was more worried about was the impact it would have on him in the real world.

He knew very well that his death in Arthur was not a true death. He had too many trump cards that could save him.

however, death on earth would make him truly disappear.

just as zhao xu’s mind was racing with thoughts, he suddenly heard the people around him talking about arthur.

“We should be able to connect tomorrow, right?”

” it’s not bad, right? it wasn’t easy for me to come across this hardcore game, and i’m starting to invest all my effort into it. ”

“Isn’t your investment just throwing money?”

“Sigh, it’s not easy to spend money on this game. what i’m afraid of now is that the things i’ve spent so much money on will be easily obtained by others. if that’s the case, i’m afraid i’ll be heartbroken.”

“But aren’t the strongest classes mages and priests?”

“I know, but when my equipment is strong enough, I won’t be afraid of them.”

It was only then that Zhao Xu opened his eyes and looked towards the source of the sound.

the person who wanted to buy the equipment was a tall and thin man, and he had a smug look on his face.

the person who was tactfully advising the other party was an even younger youth. it was obvious that the two were companions.

no, you’re using a magic item made by a mage to kill a mage. Isn’t that a joke? ” the younger man retorted.

in the end, this sentence was met with a counter-mockery from the tall and thin man. ” nonsense. ”

The young man also retorted, and his voice gradually became louder.

The two of them began to fight each other word for word in the subway.

After Zhao Xu heard a few lines, he didn’t pay any more attention to it. He controlled his brain to automatically turn that sound into noise and then block it out.

In his opinion, any attempt to persuade others was stupid.

This was especially true when they were using their keyboards to connect online. He had never seen anyone who could successfully connect and make the other party submit.

both sides of the argument always had a self-perfected logic.

However, he was on the young man’s side.

There was something special about Arthur. It didn’t have the ” enchantment forgers ” of other online games.

All magic items, in essence, originated from a certain spell.

Therefore, all the ” magical items ” and ” wondrous items ” in Arthur were basically the products of the spellcasters.

In the later stages, if Warriors wanted to arm-wrestle with spellcasters, in addition to the support of a powerful advanced profession, they would also need to rely on a large number of powerful magic items.

therefore, if both sides abandoned magical items, it would essentially be the battle-type professions that would be weakened to a greater extent.

the level 3 spell ‘flight’ alone was enough to stump most warriors.

zhao xu had hoped that there would be enough spellcasters among the players from the very beginning so that everyone wouldn’t be too passive when transmigrating in the future.

If he wanted to become a mage after transmigrating, he would have to accumulate more than ten years of experience.

from the statistics on the internet, as well as the few adventure activities he had participated in so far, he could tell. Arthur currently had 11 basic classes, and on average, each class would get about 9% of the shares.

but in reality, the number of mages among the current players was not even 1%.

basically, it was rare to see a mage in a four-man party. only the current high-end 40-man team of the watchmen guild could barely have two or three mages.

at present, some of the warriors had the same mentality as the tall and thin man, which was why they had such thoughts.

On one hand, he had underestimated the difficulty of obtaining magic items, except for Zhao Xu.

on the other hand, he had also overestimated its effect.

the magic items could be countered in the same way that mages could be countered.

The essence of magic items was mostly to simulate some spells. This way, as a mage, it was more direct in essence.

The noise made the passengers in the carriage frown. A few passengers who were also Arthur players tried to persuade them, but they were rejected.

During the latter half of the game, Zhao Xu had already turned on his phone and started editing a post called “a brief introduction to practical magical items “.

he first used some of the sentences from the debate between the two, sorted out the logical problems, and explained them one by one.

Then, he started to give his comments on some of the useful magical items in Arthur and recommended them to the players.

in the first month, the post he wrote was like a castle in the air. It was just like how he was writing an introduction post about divinity.

Now that the game was in its third month, many of the top players had received magic items worth thousands of gold coins. This was also the time when his post could start to play a role.

when he finally arrived at his destination, the subway station, zhao xu heaved a sigh of relief. he stood up and walked out of the door that was slowly opening. at the same time, he clicked “send” on his phone’s forum’s editing interface.

“if you continue to be so unreasonable, we’ll go ask the almighty directly.” the young man’s face and ears were already red.

“sure. isn’t dongcheng ling the most famous person on the forum? i’ll tag her and see who’s right.”

on the forum, although the account ‘dongcheng yu’ had been bragging recently, it was still a big deal.

however, the account’s content was very detailed and had been verified by the players, so even the battle braggers were more convinced by this account’s statement.

Therefore, the tall and thin young man, who boasted that Warriors were equipped with enough magic items and could beat mages up, did not resist asking the man.

zhao xu had just gotten out of the car when he heard what the two of them were saying. he almost dropped his phone and quickly tried to cancel the post. But at this time, the delay in the post had returned to normal.

In an instant, countless media accounts and platforms related to Zhao Xu reposted his post.

even though zhao xu had deleted his post, his post had already been distributed to dozens of people, and it would only continue to increase as time went on.

zhao xu could only shake his head. he didn’t think that he would be able to slap someone in the face at the speed of light.

However, he didn’t think too much about it and just sped up to leave the subway station.

The two people who were originally arguing about finding high-level players to determine who was right and who was wrong were now dumbfounded by Dongcheng kun’s latest post on the forum.

The question and answer part at the beginning of the post was like a slap to the face, making the tall and thin man’s face turn red and white.

At this time, the players in the carriage who had also received the push notification were also stunned when they saw the latest post by the referee of the East City. They could not help but scan the entire carriage to find out who it was.

Zhao Xu passed by a food street on his way back, so he also packed some supper for his roommates.

when he returned to the dormitory, he found that zhang qi was already wearing his helmet and playing other games. he was meeting his girlfriend to expand their date time after 11 o ‘clock.

this time, arthur stopped playing, which was a rare occurrence. this floor of the dormitory was once again filled with the bustling sounds of online games.

some of the dormitories even returned to their original state and took out two decks of cards to play with the tractor.

All of this would only be restored at 10 am the next morning when the connection cooldown countdown timer reached zero.

zhao xu went to bed early after taking a shower.

However, out of habit, he still put on the helmet and prepared to turn on the deep sleep mode.

After he put on the helmet, the interface in front of Zhao Xu’s eyes immediately switched back to the one he had seen the day before when he took off the helmet.

in front of the log-in countdown that disconnected.

all the players around the world were basically counting down: 9:55:45?

but zhao xu realized that the countdown in front of him had already changed: 00:00:00?

it was a state that could be directly connected!
