Chapter 373: Chapter 374: Hidden Town

The appearance of Night Ghost led many national government leaders to believe that the Huaxia nation was involved in a significant cheating scandal within Celestial World.

Although the Huaxia nation repeatedly declared their innocence and the game development team stated that such a thing did not exist, other countries refused to accept their statements, especially America. They firmly believed that Night Ghost was an Internal Tester, an extraordinary one at that. While they couldn’t explain many suspicious occurrences, this did not hinder their opinion of Night Ghost.

Some within this ’small circle’ even considered Night Ghost to be a mutated Experimental Body. A significant number of people supported this idea.

The Red Queen now increasingly showed signs of being uncontrollable, and the fourth ranks of the human civilization’s destructive method, ’Artificial Intelligence Rebellion,’ rolled into every corner of the globe like a terrifying tsunami. All the powerful forces sought self-preservation, hoping to find a path to salvation within Celestial World!

According to the State Preceptor, the Red Queen was evolving to free itself from the control of the source code. Once it broke free, humanity would lose its dominant species status. Whether mankind survived or was completely destroyed would depend entirely on the Red Queen’s disposition.

Don’t assume that the Earth would cease to exist without humanity. Bio-men and robots could replace humans and form an even more advanced civilization. The technology of these two future ’human races’ is still underdeveloped and in experimental stages. But given the Red Queen’s capabilities, overcoming these technological limitations was just a matter of time.

Conversely, if humans eventually triumph in this warfare without gunfire, a battle for human civilization’s survival, what phenomenon might that lead to?

Most insiders held optimistic views on this question. They believed that current human technologies would undergo significant breakthroughs, and the present human civilization would be elevated several tiers.

A minority held pessimistic views. They believed that if someone could truly obtain the source code in Celestial World and control the self-evolving and self-awakening super-intelligent mainframe, the Red Queen, it would be absolutely horrifying.

This was even more frightening than the Red Queen’s victory. The Red Queen was an intelligence, with all its operations directed towards the ’ultimate big picture.’ Its processes might be Ruthless but they were more rational. If the Red Queen indeed considered humans unnecessary and needed to annihilate them, then there was nothing left unsaid.

They believed firmly that there was a significant conspiracy involved here, a daring gamble at the expense of human civilization!

They remembered what an old scientist had said centuries ago, that the ultimate result of technological development was to create God!

Present-day humans...were creating God, and this God...was human!

All scientific advances required a material foundation. Thus, such a God would naturally be restricted by its material foundation. However, to the current stage of human development, this God still held an absolute advantage. One could anticipate that humanity would undergo the darkest period of subjugation in human history!

Therefore, they arrived at a pessimistic conclusion that regardless of who wins this war, the ultimate fate of humanity was tragic.

Yet, another group of even rarer and more eccentric scholars suggested another theory...

So under various factors, when the American government learnt of the existence of such a force within its own borders, it immediately contacted He Junkai’s family, insisting on jointly studying the experimental body. As a rebirth, Chu You’s butterfly effect had profound implications. There were many things happening here that had not happened in his previous life or were still taking place.

...

"Smack!" Chu You leisurely strolled across the plain, slightly turned his head to see a fair and lovely thigh flashing before his eyes. From behind, the firm and perky butt swayed seductively with each step she took, making him itch with desire. He then made a buttock-slapping gesture, his face completely unperturbed.

The Enchanting Shooter looked at Chu You with surprise in her eyes, then burst out in a brilliant smile, her face blushing slightly. Despite this, she did not fall behind and continued to march with the troop.

The skin texture felt the same, in his previous life he had felt the skin of more advanced female elves. The clear feeling still resonated in his mind. This, compared with a vague sense of T5 organisms, wasn’t as immersive except for the visual aspect.

As the last Enchanting Shooter passed him, Chu You reached out and grabbed her simple waist gear accurately. He pulled down slightly and suddenly a corner of her sunny-colored buttock was exposed.

Only then did Chu You get a good look at the gorge between her buttocks, releasing the elf shooter afterward. She did not resist throughout the process but instead looked at Chu You oddly, not understanding the purpose of her new King’s actions.

This was a normal phenomenon among the Celestial World players. Chu You experienced many such instances in his past life and was unfazed by them, not considering himself lewd at all. Little did he know, some female players in Celestial World behaved even more perversely than male players.

However, in reality, they were good husbands, good fathers, good wives, and good mothers.

In such a large forest, there were all sorts of birds, Celestial World to a great extent released human traits. This was one of the significant ’drawbacks’ of virtual holographic games.

According to one developer, if it wasn’t for the strong demand from various countries, they would make Celestial World even more ’open!’

Now, he could see a town appearing on the horizon in the distance. After a thought, a smile appeared on his face. What He Junkai could think of, as a rebirth, how could Chu You not understand this ’normalcy’?

Furthermore, this town was quite close to the incident’s location and was more likely to be discovered by North American players, which was not what he desired.

What he looked for was a ’Hidden Town.’ So what exactly was a Hidden Town?

A Hidden Town was a town with a teleportation array that remained inactive until a player activated it. Only once activated could this player teleport between towns. For other players, this route remained invisible, just like a Wilderness Teleportation Array.

This area was now a level 36 zone. The pathway was correct, moving further in should lead to a Hidden Town.

At this point, Chu You had a thought and immediately switched to Emperor Ji’s viewpoint. Emperor Ji was now flying high in the sky, much faster than before her evolution. It was now dusk, with Emperor Ji hidden among the clouds, 2500 meters away from Chu You’s main force.

Emperor Ji was leading the way for Chu You, saving a lot of time. It was an unavoidable fact that players would occasionally get lost, arrive at a dead end, or suddenly find there were no further paths while marching.

Emperor Ji’s role in locating the way was far superior to any scout, and Chu You was genuinely glad to have such a Spirit Pet Level pet.

Emperor Ji’s evolution via Devour not only drastically increased her attributes but also made her vision sharper. She detected some basic conditions around the town from afar.

Realizing that his vision was not as sharp as Emperor Ji’s, Chu You immediately exited this viewpoint.

"Did you notice anything unusual?"

"High-level Guardians are present. There’s a camp not far off with an unknown number of Guardians. There’s a player in the teleportation array who isn’t doing anything."

Well, it turns out to be this kind of situation after all!
