Chapter 200: The Joining of the Natives

Was it the fanatical atmosphere or the lure of profit? The weapon refiners, who had no time to weigh the pros and cons, rushed into the secret realm and disassembled the weapon live.

For a time, not only the Internet, but also the external network had live videos.

The leaders of major networks are like old sows entering a lane - caught in a dilemma.

Blocking means actively rejecting traffic and driving users to other networks.

Let it go, isn't this obviously helping the Internet Secret Realm to promote itself?
As these online video hosts were hesitant to limit the flow of traffic, the disassembly of the major equipment refiners gradually came into view.

The curse of recognizing the master appears on the curse of the Internet!
At the same time, the interconnected seals also constitute the starting energy circuits of the major magical instruments. Therefore, once they are destroyed, the magical instruments will be useless and it will be very difficult to repair them.

As for how the Internet Curse achieves identity binding?
This is unknown to outsiders.

We can only sigh that the Internet is too sophisticated and has achieved the most powerful functions at the lowest cost.

……

At this moment, looking at the review videos that were all over the Internet, Gu Yunli was also surprised.

I never thought that a small identity binding could trigger public opinion?
The wonders of the Internet are truly fascinating.

When it comes to identity binding, it’s just old wine in new bottles.

I used it once when I was at the General Chamber of Commerce, but that time it was for pirated identification.

This time, Gu Yunli made a minor upgrade and added identity binding. To put it simply, it is to identify different users and flying swords through the informatization of all things, and perform identity binding at the software level.

The purpose of doing this is very simple, it is to prevent internal strife and to prevent the magic weapon from falling into the hands of evil spirits and becoming a weapon to aid the enemy.

Unexpectedly, before the purpose of the design became apparent, the design itself ignited the Internet and attracted a wave of traffic to the secret realm of the Internet.

It made him sigh.

Zhao Cunyuan also sighed and even clapped his thigh.

He was originally glad that he had left Ciyu Temple early, but when he saw the Internet-connected magical instruments that became popular on the Internet, he was dumbfounded.

If he were in Ciyu Temple, and if he could seize this opportunity, wouldn't he be able to quickly accumulate capital?
After all, as a veteran video host, he claims to know a little about live streaming.

Pity!
Zhao Cunyuan was somewhat annoyed.

However, if you think about it carefully, even if he seizes this opportunity, he may not be able to succeed.

Because there are too many uncertainties in live streaming.

Unless he reveals his real identity during live broadcast, maybe he can make some money, otherwise if he starts from scratch anonymously, it will be purely a matter of luck.

However, he didn't dare to reveal his identity.

The reason is simple. He has no background and is just a rural cultivator.

If this is used as a typical example of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys by the Immortal Court, things will become a big deal.

However, this incident still reminded him that he failed to grasp the traffic of Internet magic tools, but what about the traffic for hunting demons and evil spirits?

After some thought, Zhao Cunyuan said hello to the team members, and simply started a live broadcast of the monster hunting anonymously, and continued his expedition.

As they moved away from the Qinggang Mountains, they could no longer see any players around them. The tension and excitement of being alone in a foreign land gradually filled Zhao Cunyuan's heart.

After all, this was his first time trying out the secret realm of the Internet.

When traveling through mountains and rivers, one may be in a trance and even unable to distinguish between illusion and reality.

Well, this is actually the reality.

To be precise, he couldn't tell whether he was a puppet or the real person?

This made him feel a little worried for no reason... If he stayed in the secret world of the Internet for a long time, when he returned to reality, would he still retain the inertia of gaming and not take his life seriously?

Thinking of this possible Zhao Cunyuan, he suddenly felt a sense of horror.

However, things have come to this point, and he can't give up because of choking, so he can only bite the bullet and move on.

The group walked for another hour and their strength was basically exhausted. They then found a secluded place, assigned people to be on duty, and then went offline to recover their strength.

Silent all night.

When we came back online, everyone's spirits had returned to normal.

The peaceful night also helped everyone ease their anxiety about being away from Qinggang Mountain.

The group set off again, and after walking for about two hours, they finally found a well-traveled narrow path in the deep mountains and forests.

Not long after walking along the mountain path, we found a village hidden in the mountains.

"Who among you can speak the local dialect? Go and find out what's going on and see if there are any evil spirits?"

Zhao Cunyuan looked at his teammates.

"I can understand a little bit, I'll go!"

One player volunteered to go, while everyone else hid in the dense forest outside the village and waited.

Not long after, a burst of shouting and screaming came from the village.

Everyone looked over, their faces suddenly filled with strange expressions.

Then I saw a group of villagers cursing and shouting, carrying dung forks and plows, chasing the players who entered the village.

"what's the situation?"

"He seems to be regarded as a monster!"

That's right, except for Zhao Cunyuan who has an illusory body and looks like a human, the others are clay puppets. Their expressions and bodies seem to be lively, but they are like stone statues that have become spirits, even more weird than monsters.

"grass!"

Zhao Cunyuan had a strange look on his face and hurried over to meet him.

"Fellow Daoist, run! These people think I'm a monster and want to kill me!"

"Don't panic!"

Zhao Cunyuan shouted, chanted a spell quickly, and waved his hand violently.

"Hoohoo!"

The sleeves brought about a strong wind, which made the villagers stagger all over the place, and frightened them so much that their legs trembled with fear.

But no one ran away. They all still held on to their dung forks and plows tightly, confronting Zhao Cunyuan nervously!
"Don't be afraid, everyone. I am a disciple of Master Yunli. I am here to preach the Dharma!"

Zhao Cunyuan clasped his hands and spoke loudly.

The villagers looked at each other and no one responded.

A player whispered, "Tailin, they don't seem to understand our Southern Continent language?"

trouble!

Zhao Cunyuan sighed and finally realized why the reward for spreading Internet knowledge in Ciyun Dharma Realm was quite high.

The language barrier, different customs and harsh living environment have already forged the local people into a tough and sturdy folk character.

Without some means, it really cannot be spread.

Fortunately, he was a phantom with magical powers. After showing off his skills, he immediately shocked the group of villagers and laid a good foundation for the subsequent peaceful talks.

Zhao Cunyuan was patient and after some demonstrations, he finally got a villager to use the enlightenment jade slip.

After you get the language right, the rest will be easy.

The left hand has magical powers, the right hand has the Internet.

Even though the villagers were full of doubts, they had to give it a try.

This attempt was immediately shocked by the Internet that appeared out of nowhere in their field of vision, causing people to scream continuously. The people nearby were very nervous and thought that they were being bewitched by some kind of witchcraft. It almost caused another conflict.

This forced Zhao Cunyuan to win people over with virtue and appease them.

After great efforts, we finally completed the task of spreading the Internet throughout the village.

Looking at the task settlement prompts that kept coming out in the background, Zhao Cunyuan was very excited.

He guessed correctly that the area outside the Qinggang Mountains was completely undeveloped virgin land.

It can be said to be high risk and high return.

This gain also boosted the team's morale.

With the spread of friendship on the Internet, the villagers' eyes towards Zhao Cunyuan and others have become much softer.

They told Zhao Cunyuan that there was a group of evil spirits living deep in the mountains, who often came down the mountain to capture villagers, causing widespread resentment and misery among the people in the surrounding area.

Zhao Cunyuan's team was very excited after hearing this. After asking for directions, they rushed out.

The villagers were very surprised. When Zhao Cunyuan was about to leave, a young man suddenly chased him out.

"Are you going to kill the monster?"

The boy spoke with a local accent, and Zhao Cunyuan had to ask his teammates to translate for him.

"Yes."

"Can I go with you?"

"No, go home quickly and don't wander around outside."

"I have no home. My family members were kidnapped by monsters."

Zhao Cunyuan was stunned, and threw out a network login magic weapon and said: "After you log in to the Internet, click on the Internet Secret Realm, follow the process instructions, join it, and you can become us and have an immortal body. When the time comes, add my account and I will help you kill monsters."

Having said that, Zhao Cunyuan left his ID number and then walked away, leaving the young man with a confused look on his face.

The young man stared in a daze at the gradually receding figures of Zhao Cunyuan and others, then looked down at the ring in his hand for a long time, then turned around and returned to his empty home.

He sat casually on the doorstep, gently turning the ring in his hand, and the familiar light curtain descended again.

He looked at the unfamiliar interface in front of him. After a long time, Bala found the secret realm of the Internet and clicked to enter.

Unexpectedly, a warning pop-up window would put him in a difficult position.

He waited for a long time, but the pop-up window did not disappear. He tried to poke it randomly, and his vision suddenly changed, and a colorful channel twisted out.

When he came to his senses, he found himself in an unfamiliar temple, surrounded by familiar earthen puppets.

The boy was confused.

I went around in circles again and again, not knowing what to do.

Until a familiar figure broke in and his eyes lit up.

"Dog brother!"

Gou Wa, who was holding a rack and preparing to sweep the Buddhist hall, suddenly heard a familiar cry. He was so scared that he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

He looked around hurriedly and saw a clay puppet walking towards him with an incredible look on his face.

"Dog brother?"

"You... are you?"

"I am Ah Si!"

"A-Si? You, you also entered the secret realm of the Internet?"

"Yeah."

"Let's go, this is not the place to talk."

Gou Wa took A Si and walked out of Ciyu Temple until they found a quiet place, then they stopped.

After some questioning, Gou Wa finally understood the situation.

I was extremely surprised. Have Master Yunli's people expanded so far?
With Gou Wa's introduction, A Si finally had a systematic understanding of the secret realm of the Internet.

He was surprised and said: "Brother Gou, doesn't this mean that I have two bodies?"

Gou Wa nodded: "That's understandable!"

"Can the villagers come in too?"

"it should be OK!"

"That's great. From now on, villagers no longer have to risk going into the mountains to look for medicinal herbs."

Upon hearing this, Gou Wa rolled his eyes at him and said, "Why don't you be a little more ambitious? You are following Master Yunli to become an immortal in the future. Why do you still need to pick herbs?"

Ah Si smiled innocently, already thinking about the benefits of having two bodies in his mind.

"It's broken. I still have to clean the Buddhist hall. You can explore first. Remember to accept the task of the growth path of the weapon master first."

Gou Wa said something hurriedly and left in a hurry.

The young boy A Si logged off without a second thought.

An hour later, he logged in again and immediately ran back to Ciyu Temple excitedly. Looking at the villagers who were both strange and familiar to him, he was so excited that he couldn't stop smiling.

This group of villagers who had transformed into clay puppets were so excited that they knelt in front of the Buddhist temple and kowtowed repeatedly.

Many players looked puzzled and wondered if this move could unlock some hidden quest.
Since everyone on either side was just playing games, they just followed suit and kowtowed.

The next group of players looked confused, and after thinking about it, they followed Bang Bang and kowtowed.

The next group of players saw this and thought that it seemed inappropriate for them to stand, so why not do one too?
Okay, then kowtow to me!
This move sparked another discussion on the forum.

There are various theories. Under the guidance of the idea of ​​"it is better to believe it than not to believe it", the initiation ceremony of many new players has added an act of bowing in a Buddhist temple.

Many years later, when players talked about this incident again, the source of the incident could no longer be verified.

Of course, these are things to follow.

After these villagers obtained the bodies of the earth puppets, they wanted to return to the village. As expected, they were immediately blocked by an invisible air wall at the foot of the mountain.

Everyone can only accept the equipment refining learning tasks honestly.

Although these villagers are illiterate, their progress in learning weapon refining is quite good.

You have to know that the mountains and fields are barren, and the villagers have to make their own production tools with their own hands, and most of them have good hands-on skills.

The so-called refining of equipment is, to a certain extent, a kind of manual labor, which is not very advanced.

The original biggest hurdle was magic power, but now with the enlightenment from the fragments of the Great Dao, the hurdle for refining equipment naturally no longer exists.

Therefore, with a large amount of material training, this group of villagers quickly mastered the method of refining equipment, signed factory entry agreements, and obtained the qualifications to go down the mountain.

Two days later, when Zhao Cunyuan led the reduced team and returned to the youth village, he almost thought he had taken the wrong road.

In the terraced fields outside the village, there were earthen puppets working everywhere.

He looked confused.

Could it be that this unremarkable little village has some hidden mission?
After the two sides met and talked, Zhao Cunyuan suddenly realized that the villagers were all puppets of the villagers.

However, this answer made him feel even more strange.

After logging into the interconnected secret realm, instead of trying to earn points and merits to exchange for fragments of the avenue, he took the earth puppet back to the village to farm. I really don't know if this is short-sighted or a return to nature.

However, he is a large farmer and has rich experience.

If you think about it carefully, using earth puppets to farm is actually a good idea.

At least for the villagers, the labor intensity has been greatly reduced.

Thinking of this, he even felt a little excited.

If I could establish a sect, I could open up a piece of fertile land and recruit a group of old farmers to try farming with earthen puppets.

"Brother, have you found the monster?"

When Ah Si heard the news of Zhao Cunyuan's return, he rushed over immediately.

"Of course!"

Zhao Cunyuan nodded, looking seemingly proud, but a hint of lingering fear flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The last time they left the village, they discovered the patrolling monster within half a day.

Seeing a lone monster, they naturally had no reason to let it go, so they decisively surrounded and attacked it.

However, it was this lone monster that caused them a lot of trouble.

To sum up, the younger ones are beaten and the older ones come.

They defeated a patrolling mountain monster and directly discovered the monster's nest. In the past two days, they ran like rabbits, running over countless hills and making a big circle before they finally came back.

This resulted in the loss of a lot of manpower.

It seems that the snake has been alerted. I don’t know if I can encounter a lone monster again next time.

"Great, can I join you?"

Ah Si shouted excitedly.

"no!"

"why?"

Zhao Cunyuan was about to speak when he suddenly saw the earthen puppets scattered in the fields, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind.
