Chapter 164 Maxwell's Demon
That player should have been moving around all the time, and after discovering that Shen Yongle and the others had arrived, he had been quietly following him, but he didn't know that he was soon discovered by Mo Jue, and he was quietly led into the encirclement. Caught, pressed down in the alley.
The player was obviously frightened by Sir Alex, and fled in a panic. Halfway through, his wings were caught by a street lamp, and he fell hard. After being caught, he saw that they had no intention of hurting anyone, so he slowly regained his senses. .
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, please," he tried to explain, "I don't have any malicious intentions, but I'm just curious to see a new player here for the first time, I haven't seen a new player for a long time, I feel very kind ..."
Shen Yongle raised his head and looked at Mo Jue.
He was the most friendly one among the three, he naturally assumed the responsibility of the routine, approached the player cautiously, and squatted in front of the player.
"My name is Shen Yongle, and this is Mo Jue and Yan Ye." He didn't reveal that he already knew the old player's information, but only asked, "What's your name? When did you enter this dungeon?"
That person also had the appearance of a devil, but his body was obviously a little thin, and he wore a pair of glasses, but his face was quite upright.
Shen Yongle and the others have seen the photos, and know that this person also looks like an elite in real life, and because of regular exercise all year round, his original physical fitness is far better than what he looks like now.
He nodded: "I know you."
"My name is Xu Jinghua, and I was a lawyer before." He introduced himself after a while, "I joined five months ago, and now I have lost my player status."
Shen Yongle put on a surprised expression: "You have lost your player status?! Did something happen?"
Xu Jinghua obviously has not fully recovered, and his breathing is a little short.
He smiled wryly and showed an indescribable expression: "It was because... I failed to be ruthless enough to assign enough players to enter the doomsday game, so I triggered the punishment of the collapse of the human being and was attacked by hunters. In order to protect myself, I had to If you don't give up the character card, you will lose your player identity."
Shen Yongle's surprise this time was not feigned: "The hunter? Is it an NPC?"
"No," Xu Jinghua shook his head, "It's also a player, and the players of Brenrenji will be hunted by other players. As long as they kill them or put them into other dungeon games, the hunters will be exempted from liability for three days. "
The amount of information in his few words was too much, Shen Yongle thought for a while, and continued to ask while clearing his mind: "Then, what did you mean just now, if you give up the card, you won't be hunted down?"
Xu Jinghua paused, obviously worried about something, but finally shook his head and smiled wryly: "If you give up the card, it will not be so easy to be found."
Shen Yongle paused, and instantly understood what he meant.
Yan Ye on the side immediately narrowed his eyes, showing an expression of interest: "You mean, if I kill you now, I can also get immunity for three days?"
But Xu Jinghua nodded slowly.
If you lose your player identity, you won't be leaked by Akesha, and you won't appear on the wanted reward list, but after being hunted by other Maxwell demons, the hunter can still get the minimum three-day exemption period. There is no need to convert any new players within the day and will not trigger the penalty of collapse.
Xu Jinghua took a deep breath and looked at the three people in front of him: "But I know you won't."
Being in the real world, it is easier to find a lot of information. Not only Shen Yongle and the others can easily find Xu Jinghua's past resume and social media comments through the Internet, but Xu Jinghua can also easily obtain the relevant information of the three of them.
And he didn't hide this matter from the beginning, after Shen Yongle reported the names, he explained that he knew the three people.
Obviously, there is no need to hide this point at all. No matter how early this dungeon was entered, as an Aksha player, it is impossible to be completely unfamiliar with Leshen who "exposed the doomsday game to the world".
If Xu Jinghua had tried to pretend that he didn't know or be familiar with the three of them before, Mo Jue would have interrupted him as early as the first sentence he spoke, and the three of them would not have the patience to listen to him.
When Shen Yongle and the others set out to find them, they roughly reviewed some of Xu Jinghua's actions and public remarks. They knew that he used to be an Internet celebrity lawyer, and he often commented on current affairs. Thought, consciousness, and a certain sense of justice.
But Yan also always advocates that people's hearts are changeable, and it is not so easy to let go of their guard against strangers who are likely to be hostile. In addition, he has encountered many selfish players before, and he has always adhered to Xu Jinghua's explanation. skeptical.
Fortunately, so far, this person has passed the test.
Shen Yongle and Yan looked at each other calmly, decided to continue to adopt a friendly attitude for the time being, and asked for the rest of the information one by one.
Xu Jinghua knew everything, and quickly shared all the information he had.
In the A-level dungeon, Maxwell's demon needs to choose new players to enter the doomsday game. There are many ways to choose, except for Shen Yongle's previous attempt to trigger the system selection after direct contact. Attacking a non-player will cause the opponent to directly enter a random instance of Aksha.
The frequency of selecting new players will increase as the time Maxwell's demon enters the A-level dungeon increases, that is, the longer you stay in this dungeon, the more people need to switch to new players every day.
"In the beginning, it should be one person per day, and then it will gradually become one person for half a day. It is said that at the highest point, some people even have to switch to one person every 5 minutes."
Xu Jinghua simply explained, "The Aksha game has been around for at least three years, and I'm not a player who entered this dungeon very early. I heard that there was a period of chaos in the early days, and someone set up an organization, and they didn't care about the collapse of people." The thing that was set up was simply to drag more people into hell, to indiscriminately injure people every day out of interest, and then the Messiah came in and managed a group of old players who had lost their minds, and the entire dungeon barely returned to On track."
Shen Yongle glanced at Yan Ye and saw that there was nothing unusual about him, so he nodded in response: "What about you now?"
After asking, he came to his senses, "Ah, without a player status, don't you need to worry about the punishment of collapse?"
"Yes," Xu Jinghua nodded, "this can be regarded as the benefit of not having a status."
He didn't go into detail about the disadvantages, but it was obvious that, like Dr. Gu back then, without a player status, he would disappear from the standings, and it is likely that he would never be able to make a copy again.
Shen Yongle thought for a while: "What are the hunting rules you mentioned before?"
As expected of a lawyer, Xu Jinghua explained the questions in a very orderly manner and understood everything. It was almost unnecessary for Shen Yongle and the others to ask more questions to find out exactly what they wanted to know.
"Maxwell's demon collapses or other players fail to enter the dungeon game on time, will trigger 'hunting'," he said, "every time there is a new hunting task, all existing Maxwell's demons can see the system released If you kill the prey or put it into the doomsday game in other ways, you can get the reward."
Maxwell's demon can't actually harm other "humans", and attacks on ordinary people will only send them directly into the instance.
This actually explained why all players who did not enter the specified dungeon within 30 days would be thrown into a random dungeon.
As for whether those players can still come out after being thrown into the random dungeon, it naturally depends on personal ability.
Yan Ye: "If Maxwell's demon enters the dungeon, can it also be a player?"
"No," Xu Jinghua explained, "Maxwell demon players enter the dungeon game as an identity between the NPC and the player. No one sets the card, but they have their own main missions. Generally, after completing the missions, they can return to the A-level deputy game. Originally, most of the time, the tasks of Maxwell's demon would conflict with the normal player tasks of that dungeon."
Mo Jue laughed a little: "Akesha is really... good at using humans to deal with humans."
Shen Yongle was also a little bit sad.
He even suspected that most of the A-level players who were judged to be dead after disappearing from the standings before might not have died, but were trapped in various dungeons just like Dr. Gu and Xu Jinghua.
Lord Ferguson felt that this kind of punishment for hunting was more advantageous to him: "Even if it is really on the reward list, few people should be able to touch me."
But Xu Jinghua shook his head: "No, Maxwell's demons are graded—you should have felt the change in physical fitness."
"When the system enters the dungeon, it assigns special ability bonuses to everyone according to their initial points and personal characteristics. As the number of players you hunt and convert new players increases, these quality bonuses will become more and more obvious. , and even qualitative changes..."
Probably because of the influence of his job, the tone of his previous narration has been very calm, and it was only at this time that he leaked a little bit of longing.
"You can even gradually master a part of Aksha's power..."
There was a slight uncontrollable tremor in his tone, "That is this world, the real power of God."
Shen Yongle and Mo Jue looked at each other, obviously noticing the change in his mood.
Xu Jinghua seemed to be aware of her gaffe, and soon recovered, and continued to explain the situation about Maxwell's demon level.
"With your current abilities, at most you can defend against the Maxwell demon players of the second level..."
Yan Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked him up and down again. He didn't know what he found, so he chuckled lightly and didn't say much.
Xu Jinghua quickly said everything he could think of so far.
According to him, there is at least one more day for new players entering the dungeon to trigger the first collapse. Shen Yongle and the others discussed for a while, and soon decided to go directly to Shanghai to find Messiah.
On the contrary, Xu Jinghua seemed more hesitant.
Mo Jue had seen before that the reason why Xu Jinghua told the three of them what he knew was actually to get their protection. Even if he could not become a real teammate because of losing his player status, he would be much safer just following the three of them. .
Mo Jue said: "You don't need to go to Shanghai with us, City H is the place you are most familiar with, without Akesha's guidance, it would be difficult for other hunters to find you from the corner of this city. "
Xu Jinghua sighed: "But didn't you find me easily?"
Shen Yongle didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "That's because you took the initiative to come out. If you hid well and walked around us from the beginning, even Brother Jue probably wouldn't be able to find you."
Xu Jinghua seemed to be convinced.
He was obviously disappointed, and sighed half-jokingly: "Then it's a good relationship for me, forget it..."
Shen Yongle has a good impression of him since he knew that he was triggered because he was unwilling to convert innocent people into doomsday game players. Afterwards, he got a lot of news from him, which saved them a lot of time. .
At this time, I couldn't bear to let him talk in vain, and thought for a while: "Either you go to Yujia's side, we just came over from there, and we are sure that there are no other Maxwell demons nearby, and we will probably go back there after we find Mishen." side."
Xu Jinghua nodded, showing a grateful smile: "That's fine, I'll just wait there for you to come back..."
His face changed.
One of Mo Jue's hands grasped his wrist that was about to stick to Shen Yongle's back, and the other hand pulled Yan Ye back a step, out of the reach of him.
Xu Jinghua obviously didn't give up yet, and immediately grabbed Mo Jue's wrist with his backhand, and was about to slap his other hand on his back when he turned around, but Shen Yongle quickly kicked him away, and the things in his hand fell to the ground.
Before Shen Yongle could fully understand the situation, Mo Jue twisted Xu Jinghua's wrist forcefully, ignoring his screams, and showed the things in his hands in front of everyone.
When Shen Yongle saw the thing clearly, he was slightly taken aback, and then his expression changed suddenly.
Yan Ye showed a sneer of "as expected".
What fell from Xu Jinghua's hand and on the ground were two dungeon cards... one D-level and one C-level.
Xu Jinghua himself said before that there are many ways to put players into the Aksha dungeon, but he was intentionally vague and did not explain each method clearly.
But obviously, the method of finding a dungeon card and pasting it on other people is not only applicable to ordinary non-players, but also applicable to other players who are also players.
