Five Frozen Centuries

Wei Huo saw a lot of busy players as he walked into the camp. At the same time, he saw seven to eight motionless artificial intelligence characters.

However, the artificial intelligence characters were all protected by golden light.

As Wei Huo felt confused, the golden light on a man’s body disappeared. The man was stunned for a moment before his expression softened. He bent over and ran out of the camp while saying, “I’m sorry, I just went offline.”

A particularly strong player said, “The game has just started. We have to hurry up. Many people are already ahead of us. Do you understand? We are professional players!”

It was not until this player spoke that Wei Huo noticed that the appearance, height, build, and age of every player in the camp was different. Their clothes were different as well.

They could define their own characters by themselves?

Soon, Wei Huo saw a young man and a young woman with rings arguing.

The young man said, “You were the one who said you wanted to buy a two-person account, but you went back on your word. Why did you do that?”

The young lady placed her hands on her waist. “Are you blaming me? Look at the two characters you randomly picked. I’m pregnant, and my attributes have decreased by 25%!”

Wei Huo was confused. What’s going on? Is this random character selection? Could an artificial being be pregnant?

The young man’s neck shrank, and he seemed to feel a little down. “What can I do?”

The young lady’s eyes widened. “I want to delete my account. Wait for me in the game. I’ll be back soon. You’re not allowed to level up on your own. Wait for me!”

After saying that, the young lady paused for three seconds in astonishment. Three seconds later, a white light fell on her face. A moment later, the young lady disappeared.

Wei Huo finally understood that if players deleted their accounts, the artificial intelligence would be recycled. If they went offline, the players’ characters would be protected by the golden light, but that was probably because they were in the safe zone.

The few people strolling around the safe zone seemed like NPCs. However, Wei Huo realized that they were all artificial intelligence beings after closer inspection!

There was a Big Brother standing in the center of the camp. As he kept issuing orders, all the players listened to him. From time to time, some players would shout unhappily, “Isn’t it just a few seconds too late? Is there a need to reduce your favorability?”

Wei Huo approached the Big Brother and discovered his real identity: He was artificial intelligence! His name was… Big Brother Liu, LV30.

Brother Liu was a rigid artificial being who only had five basic skills. He was probably assigned to guide the players to complete the quest.

Are all artificial intelligence beings removed? Wei Huo thought of Lu Qiqi. She was an artificial being with a high chance of possessing a soul. If she had still been alive, she might have been staying in the safe zone…

There was an altar in the center of the camp. A skull was hanging from each corner of the altar. At that moment, four skulls lit up at the same time. Soon, a portal was completed on the altar. Two players walked out of the portal.

“F*ck… There’s an Epic-ranked Black Dragon nearby. An electromagnetic pulse gun was dropped as well. If I knew this would happen, I would have kept my weapon in the inventory right before dying.” The Second Brother was unhappy.

His brother advised him, “Think about it carefully. Actually, we did not lose out at all. At the very least, we know where the Epic-ranked Black Dragon is. We can just kill it when we become stronger.”

“Hmm… That makes sense, but…” The Second Brother suddenly lifted his head and looked at Wei Huo. “Did you hear us talking?”

Wei Huo shook his head. “Nope.”

The surrounding players shook their heads. “No, no!”

The two of them were speechless.

I didn’t ask you guys anything.

The Second Brother said fiercely, “I advise you not to get any ideas about that Black Dragon. I wonder if everyone here has heard of the name of the Blood Wolf General?”

One of the surrounding players was shocked. “Blood Wolf General? Could it be the Demon Wolf General who reached the rank of a Demon General at a really young age?”

The Second Brother smiled proudly. “Yes, he is my cousin!”

Everyone was speechless.

It’s not you!

Wei Huo stroked his chin. The real bodies of those players were indeed not human. Since they were combining Magical Stones and Demonic Hero information, were these players from the Demon World?

Wei Huo did not dwell too much on it. Since humans could play ‘Magical Beast World’, could Magical Beasts not play ‘The Rise of Mankind’ anymore?

He was thinking about how to make use of the players’ power to make mankind rise.

The Second Brother looked around coldly. “You guys better be smarter. Don’t expose this matter…”

Before he could finish, a player from the outer circle came over. “What happened? What happened? I think I heard a Black Dragon.”

Once the player said that, most of the players put down their things and ran over. “What’s going on? What’s going on? I think I heard something about an Epic-ranked creature.”

The Second Brother bellowed, “Shut up. No one can expose the Epic-ranked Black Dragon. Otherwise, I will not let them off easily!”

The players behind came to a realization. Oh, it was an Epic-ranked Black Dragon.

The Second Brother facepalmed. “Given your IQ… Forget it! Let’s go join Big Brother and help him build the Wolf Clan Camp.”

Wei Huo shook his head and left the crowd silently. No one noticed him leaving.

He could build his own camp? Of course, he could only build it outside the safe zone. If he built it outside the safe zone, he would have to face danger and special situations at any moment. Any players without capabilities and capital would not be able to do that.

Wei Huo did not plan on building a camp for the time being. After all, System Number Two had reminded him not to stay in the same place all the time. It had also advised him to build a traveling caravan to cheat players out of their Magical Stones. Wei Huo thought that was a good suggestion, as getting the players’ money was the most profitable option!

Wei Huo released Wei Sha and the rhinoceros after traveling for dozens of kilometers. He had to disguise himself as a merchant. Wei Sha, who was fully armed, was his guard, while the rhinoceros was in charge of transporting goods.

Wei Huo took out a bone and thought about the Mimic. Wei Huo had left it in the human world, as it could not be stored in the Divine Pet Space. He did not know if it was dead or alive. He did not know if it would sense the location of the bone and run toward him.

Wei Huo tied the bones onto the rhinoceros’ back and took out some weapons such as bronze bows, bronze swords, and bronze shields. This was all equipment that could be easily manufactured but could also con players. They would be like sheep getting cheated by a wolf.

Wei Huo put on the black helmet after disguising himself as a traveler. He then turned back.

We’ll be meeting again, players…
