zhao xu’s gaze fell directly on the countdown timer that had hit zero. he had a few guesses in his mind, and he couldn’t quite figure them out.

when he played arthur, zhao xu had indeed enjoyed some extraordinary treatment, but that was mostly because he had interacted with the characters in arthur.

the only thing that exceeded the game’s mechanics was the double elite account he bought on the first day with potential points, and then used the double elite’s characteristics to continuously snowball.

in fact, double elites were a burden to players in the early stages of the game.

this was because class training itself took up a lot of time. if there was a player like zhao xu who chose to be a double elite wizard and a cleric, it would probably take them two months to get out of the game.

In fact, after two months, there were not many beta accounts left in the game.

only a small number of people who succeeded in rolling the snowball could still live.

should he log in or not?

In the entire world, only people like Zhao Xu, who knew the inside story of Arthur, were in such a dilemma.

This was because he was connected to a real world, and he was using the legendary energy transmission channel.

after two days of carefully analyzing the magic circle on the mithril panel, zhao xu was able to guess the truth even though he didn’t have any first-hand information.

In that mysterious Research Institute, when the senior researchers of the Sorcerer’s Association activated the material transmission channel, they also affected the energy channel, directly cutting off the energy channel of all the players on earth who were projected there.

And it was likely that 80% of the reason for this was because Zhao Xu was standing too close to him. On top of that, he had enough spell slots and magic equipment to begin with, so the intensity of his aura exceeded the limit.

Zhao Xu even suspected that it was because he was possessed by Lux, or because of the divine fragment.

this was because both of these situations were beyond the expectations of the sorcerer’s association.

in just a few short seconds, zhao xu thought about seven or eight possible scenarios that he might run into, and then he decided to log in.

as he pressed the ‘confirm’ button, zhao xu suddenly felt a strong wave of energy coming from his brain imaging helmet.

His pupils were constantly flashing with a colorful light, as if he had fallen into a pool of flowing rainbows and brilliant stars. The strong visual impact of the colors constantly covered his vision.

this strong stimulation immediately swept through his entire consciousness, causing him to instantly fall asleep.

zhao xu also didn’t notice that there was a line of the current number of players online at the bottom of the identity information input interface.

The moment Zhao Xu logged in, the bright red and glaring ” 0 ” jumped and turned into a ” 1.

At this moment, many players who were also in bed entered the movie-immersed mode and watched the movie.

there were still a few who were unwilling to give up and directly re-entered the game interface. they suddenly saw that the number of players in the game was not zero, and they were instantly overjoyed.

they didn’t feel anything after playing arthur every day, but now that they hadn’t been in arthur for an entire day, many players were not used to it.

a bunch of warriors on the forum complained that their combat skills were getting rusty.

However, when these players entered the official log-in interface, they saw the cold countdown of 09:51:23?

the players who realized this basically thought that they were stuck, and the quick-witted ones went to find their in-game friends to try logging in.

Some even posted on the forums to notify other players to verify.

Many players on the forum thought that it was a boring prank at first glance. The scene of the wolf had played a fool on many people in the past two days, and the moderator had also banned a group of accounts that were playing with the rhythm.

however, in the screenshot of the post, he saw the words ‘current number of online players: 1’, there were still some people who were itching to try it out and picked up the helmet’s loading screen.

Then, he encountered the same thing.

instantly, the forum was filled with comments about the ‘number of people online: 1’, and the focus changed from the suspicion of PS to server failure. Of course, there were also some conspiracy theories.

in the first ten hours of the official landing, there was a huge commotion.

many players were guessing who the real ” 1 ” was.

After Zhao Xu’s consciousness came back, he realized that he was still standing in front of the mysterious research facility that he had disappeared from.

The researchers and equipment were still there, but there were fewer observers in the corridor on the second floor.

Zhao Xu compared his memory from two days ago to what he remembered, and there were still 70 – 80% of the people still alive.

But everyone’s robes were of different styles and colors, or else Zhao Xu would have thought that he had only been offline for a short while and not for more than a day and a half.

If that happened, he would be able to guess a terrible result-the time of the two worlds would not be synchronized.

At this moment, Zhao Xu realized that Antonya was still standing in the same spot as before, and she had also noticed his presence.

or rather, all of the researchers present, including all of the wizards in the corridor on the second floor, were looking at zhao xu, who had disappeared and then suddenly reappeared.

However, for some reason, no one came forward to ask.

at this moment, zhao xu was probably the most crucial person who would be responsible for any accidents that might occur during the experiment.

after a few seconds of observation, the researchers below resumed their work on the tunnel equipment below.

“You’re back?” at this moment, antonya’s telepathic voice was transmitted into zhao xu’s mind.

“You guys guessed that I would return?” Zhao Xu immediately asked.

naturally, these people couldn’t have been in the research facility for two days in a row.

Zhao Xu guessed that something must have happened that had gathered around 70 to 80 percent of the audience again.

Especially at this time, it was also late at night in Arthur, and everyone should be asleep.

For Wizards who needed to rest to recover their spell slots, they would follow the simple principle of sleeping early and waking up early.

when antonya heard zhao xu’s question, she smiled and replied, ” about two hours ago, they informed me that a small part of the energy tunnel had been temporarily restored. That’s why we rushed over to take a look.”

Then, Antonya started explaining to Zhao Xu why he had suddenly disappeared two days ago.

It was pretty much the same as what Zhao Xu had guessed.

the only difference was that antonya had explained to him more about the principles of the spell, and it also made zhao xu understand that the sudden disconnection was because of the time backtrack talisman that he was wearing.

The backtrack time talisman was not referring to Arthur’s spell, but a level 9 ‘psionic power.’

However, there were no such things as ‘psionic abilities’ in the world of Arthur. All psionic ability items, including the ‘anti-energy skin’ on the back of Zhao Xu’s hand, were all products of other universes that had psionic abilities.

naturally, zhao xu, who was wearing these two psionic ability items, had allowed the energy passage to be contaminated with the power of other universes, which caused the stability of the passage to collapse.

“originally, this material-energy transmission channel had taken precautions against psionic abilities, but i didn’t expect you to be wearing two psionic ability items, and one of them was particularly strong, so there was such an oversight. however, this loophole has been fixed. even if you are a psionic warlock now, you will still be able to hold on. ” antonya explained.

“the reason you were able to enter the world of arthur in advance was naturally to fix this loophole, so you were specially optimized. the current passageway was actually in a semi-incomplete state. it would only be officially opened at 10 o ‘clock the next day. You, on the other hand, came in early because you’ve been optimized.”

When he heard this, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but squint his eyes and look at the eight Mithril panels. They had even specially optimized him?

Usually, such a teleportation channel had its own self-protection mechanism. For example, if the player’s emotions fluctuated too much or used some special means, the channel would automatically cut off the player’s connection.

And right now, Zhao Xu was basically given even more authority than he already had, which meant that he could be even more “willful.

this kind of willfulness was also the equivalent of leaving a back door for zhao xu to use this passage in the future.

“If you want to mess around, you have to tell me first.” antonya looked at the way zhao xu was staring at the mithril panel and immediately knew what he was thinking.

“because if you act rashly, you might really not be able to come back forever.” Antonya’s words were a double-edged sword.

And Zhao Xu immediately understood what he meant.

in other words, in the game, there was a possibility that he could rely on this passage to bring his power back and appear on earth as a third-circle sorcerer.

At that time, he would be able to rely on those level 3 spells, especially spells such as suggestion, charm, transformation, and mind detection. He would no doubt be able to do whatever he wanted on earth.

however, he wouldn’t be able to return to arthur through normal means.

because at that time, the original him on earth was still sleeping on the bed in the dormitory. his soul, on the other hand, had materialized into the projection of a third-circle sorcerer and appeared on earth.

it was similar to the legendary ninth-circle spell ” astral projection “, which allowed the soul to possess the avatar and go out for adventure.

however, the wizard who cast the astral projection could remove it on his own, but zhao xu, who had used the portal to send his projection over, had to send his projection back. otherwise, even if he killed himself, his soul would not be able to return to the temple of life creation.

“Then, mentor, what are they still researching down there?” zhao xu continued to ask.

I’m trying to figure out why the channel suddenly restarted two hours ago. antonya said nonchalantly, ” it’s just that there was a sudden resonance of mysterious energy between the two worlds, and it directly formed a semi-connection between the two worlds. the channel was already being officially reopened, and they were waiting for ten o ‘clock tomorrow morning.”

“That’s why we’re all here to study what kind of power is affecting it.”

Two hours passed.

it was also two hours ago that something like this had happened at the tunnel, which was why antonya and the others had rushed over.

but zhao xu had some impression of this time.

That was when Zheng xinyun was reciting the prayer incantation, causing the divine power in his body to vibrate.
