Chapter 169: Chapter 158: [Game] Officially Anchoring the World
"...Your meaning is that we can no longer hide the presence of this great god, and we want to sell it for a good price?" Comrade Lu Tianming No. 12 suffered from a pounding headache. International struggles were quite troublesome.
Humanity wasn’t considered a mighty species, yet we couldn’t even band together, still caught up in infighting, it was unbearably annoying.
But infighting was a necessary step, because if you didn’t occupy some high ground, others would. The essence of the world was still the law of the jungle, thinking that one could change others’ minds through reason alone was naive.
A laughing voice came through the earpiece, "Sell it for a good price... Even if we wanted to sell a great Demon God in the [Game], we couldn’t! They could drown us with a single spit."
Just as No. 12 was about to express his view, suddenly, the earth shook, the sky spun!
Buildings "boomed" and sprung from the ground in the distance!
Massive structures, like trees, forcefully grew out of the earth!
This spectacle caused No. 12’s eyelids to twitch uncontrollably, as if he was seeing ghosts.
In the next instant, bright lights lit up in the sky, weaving together into a huge silver-grey circle in the blink of an eye.
A glass-like Water Cube slowly descended from the circle.
This cube was immensely large, appearing like a mountain peak, its sides estimated to be 2000 meters with its height around 1600 meters, casting a bizarre aura of worship from its crystal-clear blue color.
It seemed as though this gigantic cube concealed supreme power.
"What... what’s happening? Your side is very noisy! Is it an earthquake?"
No. 12 stared dumbfounded into the distance, his breathing became hurried, "A big event has occurred, a lot of buildings have appeared!"
"The [Game] has undergone changes again!!"
"What’s that? In the eastern direction, a world-level huge Strange Object has fallen from the sky!"
"World-level Strange Objects... Are you sure?" The voice in the earpiece paused, "World-level?!"
World-level Strange Objects, by definition, possessed the power to change the world!
The classification of Strange Objects had always been a critical topic for scientists to discuss in their papers. After all, when two Strange Objects with different powers clashed, there had to be a measure to distinguish which was superior.
Some were categorized by the Hume index, others by Spiritual Strength, and some by their impact on history.
But a World-level Strange Object must meet three criteria: "influence to change the human order," "Spiritual Strength over a million," and a "Hume index over 670 (any higher would cause reality to distort, and the world would not tolerate it)."
Humanity’s Supernatural studies to date were perhaps a hundred thousand years away from creating a World-level Strange Object.
"I’m absolutely certain I’m not seeing things." No. 12 swallowed, feeling an ominous premonition washing over him like waves crashing into his mind.
"I have a premonition... that thing is extraordinary!"
"The fate of Earth’s humans may have changed at this moment."
...
The real world.
Astronomers in the Northern Hemisphere suddenly discovered a bright star in their telescopes!
The star emitted a soft blue light, different from other stars.
Its means of illumination were unknown, not due to nuclear fusion between hydrogen atoms; it seemed more like the light from a fluorescent lamp?
A fluorescent lamp!
Its heat, mass, and distance were all impossible to estimate?
"Could this be the legendary cold fusion?!"
This astronomer’s mind was blown; he roared loudly and danced with excitement, believing he had discovered a new physical phenomenon, "Come quickly, look at this, I’ve found the cold fusion star. It could be cold fusion!"
"Quickly, quickly, use the Hubble telescope to observe it!"
Cold fusion!
But the Hubble telescope could not be mobilized successfully.
Information about this peculiar star was immediately classified by governments worldwide.
All astronomers were signing confidentiality agreements against their will.
...
Stargazing Mages around the world also observed this scene.
In their eyes, this star was terrifyingly unusual.
It signified that an unknown Demon God was... no, it had already anchored this world!
...
Great Xia Country.
The Seismograph locked onto the sixth Dragon Ball in the [Game], which at that moment, fell.
With a "clunk,"
Old No. 1 laughed bitterly, "I knew that once it anchored our history, the Dragon Ball would fall."
The sixth Dragon Ball signified that the [Game] could now exert considerable influence on the Human World.
Fortunately...
We were still two Dragon Balls away from the [Game] completely surfacing.
The Black-clothed Guard comforted themselves.
...
Within the major Supernatural Organizations, the newly appeared star was referred to as the "Beiming Star"—it was likely the anchoring of an unknown Demon God to this world.
One problem had not settled, and another had risen; not long after the Blood Demon crisis was resolved, a new Demon God had already reached the stage where the sixth Dragon Ball fell.
This fact spread quickly within the supernatural circle, and the world’s focus shifted to Great Xia—Taishan!
Because this newly emerged Demon God was likely related to the Blood Demon crisis.
The pressure on the Black-clothed Guard grew tremendously.
The secrets about the [Game] might be revealed to the world during the upcoming journey to Taishan.
...
...
The Game Training Camp was shaking violently, lasting for about two minutes.
Finally, the light in the sky dissipated.
The wildly trembling ground also settled down. In the distance, some strange mists started to rise, resembling the primordial Purple Energy from the creation of the world, giving a chilling sensation when inhaled.
Under the sunlight, these mists quickly vanished.
A voice came from the headphone, "An extra star appeared outside, and the seismograph dropped the sixth Dragon Ball, it must be the work of the ’Game.’"
"Understood," Number 12 took a deep breath.
He steadied himself, picked up the telescope from his backpack, and gazed into the distance, "I think... this training camp has been upgraded once again."
"Its area has become even larger, and there are some new features added!"
"What kind of new features?"
Lu Tianming glanced at his digital wristwatch, which displayed a wealth of explanatory text, "There’s a new guest interaction area, allowing guests to enter the training camp more easily; there’s also something called a Dimensional Space Gate,"
"And an item for synthesizing Strange Objects? It must be that world-level Strange Object."
"The introduction says that the super-large cube can use the ’source’ to synthesize and repair Strange Objects?!"
His pupils contracted slightly, but his voice couldn’t help but grow louder.
"Synthesis!"
Although Number 12 was not a dedicated research worker, he immediately realized the tremendous value brought by the large cube!
An item that can synthesize Strange Objects!
To turn some Strange Objects with inexplicable effects and significant negative costs into better ones would not only enhance humanity’s foundation but could also refine the ether theory and enrich the theorems in it.
Lu Tianming’s head heated up as he contemplated the outrageous value of this thing.
He reported it through the headphone.
The Intelligent Group on the other end of the headphone fell silent.
But in reality, the five people in that small room were already in uproar.
This was surely something that could change the supernatural circle of humanity, and even alter the global distribution of power!
Why?
Research on Strange Objects is difficult, involving many coincidences...
The Strange Objects that humanity can currently mass-produce are less than 340 types.
This represents the accumulation of five thousand years of human civilization!
For instance, Immortal Beans, Rune Knives, these are one in a million successes.
Some of them require special superpowers to produce, and once these Superpower Users perish, it is impossible to reproduce them.
Besides the 340 successes, there are thousands upon thousands, an unknown number of failures. These failures either have extremely severe side effects or their abilities are unstable.
Perhaps they could be used for synthesis, for experimentation?
And then, spawn even more successes!
The value is beyond imagination!
Additionally, the value of ’source’ will also see a tremendous increase.
In current international trade, the price of source is ten times that of gold.
In the future it might become a hundred times, a thousand times gold, or it could even become a new currency anchor.
"This is ’Game’ deliberately tempting us, isn’t it?"
"The more we utilize it, the greater its impact on history."
Indeed, ’Game’ anchors human history.
When ’Game’ brings profound changes to all of humanity, it will be impossible to escape its influence.
However, things always have their pros and cons, this influence might not necessarily be negative...
The Intelligent Group in the room argued endlessly over this.
"Gentlemen, this process will require a lot of taxes... ’Game’ will be able to reap many benefits."
After Lu Tianming conveyed this information, the voice in the headphone went silent for a while.
It seemed like the channel was switched, Number 24 from the Great Science Academy forcefully interjected into the conversation, excitedly saying in the headphone, "A huge device for synthesizing Strange Objects? What does this device look like, what’s the principle behind it?"
"Number 12, I suggest you try to synthesize an Immortal Bean and see what it becomes... a super-sized Immortal Bean?"
"Synthesize my ass, do I look like I have money?" Number 12 said bluntly, "Will you reimburse me for the expenses?"
You need ’source’ as the currency to synthesize!
He didn’t carry any ’source’.
More voices joined in the headphone, and the discussion grew heated.
The stake offered by ’Game’ was too huge!
So enormous that they would rather take the risk and find ways to take in this stake.
Additionally, the political pressure given by foreign countries could also be alleviated somewhat. After all, this was good news, not some catastrophe.
"This information could bring us tremendous benefits, we can now trade and exchange with other organizations for a large amount of source."
"Even some failed Strange Objects could be traded over."
Another person analyzed, "Currently, the acquisition of ’source’ is mainly from extraction off anomalies. But if the value of ’source’ becomes too high, leading to soul extraction from humans as a method, it could lead to misfortunes."
Many things have their advantages and disadvantages, there are people willing to take risks for profits, and nobody does business at a loss.
Currently, souls can be processed into source; depending on technology and individual differences, a human soul can extract about 0.3-0.6 grams of source.
Converted into gold, that’s only worth 3-6 grams of gold.
So, nobody is in this line of business...
But if the value of source skyrockets, one person might be worth 200-300 grams of gold, and some poor small countries might start getting crafty ideas.
After all, this amount of money is not insignificant and could tempt capitalists to take risks.
Of course, the ’source’ extracted using human souls is identifiable, so many things need to be ruled in advance.
