Chapter 130: Window Cleaning
Inside the real world.
"How boring, Gu Yi is daydreaming again."
"It's just window cleaning, what's there to see?"
"Let's go and see what Chris is up to."
On the Dragon Country's comment screen, negative comments were once again on the rise. Without Ah Jian leading the team, it seemed the task of capturing online trolls had become somewhat lax.
"Leader, someone has uploaded barrage bots online again."
"Ugh... It's so annoying."
Qu Kangping was frustrated to the credit of pulling out strands of his hair. He couldn't figure out how to deal with the matter of the trolls. Just yesterday, in a desperate attempt to save Ah Jian, they had to give up the pursuit of fanatics.
It turns out that Zhang Qian was just one of the sources of power for the "barrage bots". As long as there are souls who died from online bullying, they can be used as energy sources to produce barrage bots.
Having resolved the issue with one Zhang Qian, there were still countless souls who died from online violence.
If the fanatics can develop barrage bot version 1.0, they can surely develop version 2.0.
"What did the cyber police say?"
"The IPs releasing the barrage bots are all foreign, with Lighthouse Country accounting for thirty percent. We are currently in negotiations with foreign authorities."
"Don't worry. Tomorrow we will have a strategy meeting with teams from other countries. I will raise this issue at the meeting. There are too many unsolved mysteries in this dungeon; perhaps consulting with team leaders from other countries might provide new insights."
"Yes, leader."
Qu Kangping nodded and started to switch broadcast channels to watch the adventurers from other countries.
Two more adventurers from different countries, unable to bear the pressure, chose to end their challenge by taking their own lives. While many adventurers were utterly confused, having already undergone two tests, yet accumulating only less than 20 credits.
So far, the dungeon did not demand a certain amount of credits, but a low score always made one uneasy.
Finally, the channel switched to Lighthouse Country.
At this moment, Chris was sitting alone in his seat. Unlike Gu Yi, who worked at the library to earn credits, Chris was leaning over his desk, sketching.
"Has Chris been influenced by Gu Yi?"
"What is he drawing?"
"Can someone from the strategy team analyze it quickly? It's so suspenseful!"
"Huh? How did this kid figure out the solution to the chaotic space so quickly?"
With the help of Infinite deductions, Gu Yi used a trial-and-error method to determine the way through the chaotic space. In reality, this place was just a complex maze. Given enough time, anyone could navigate through it.
Exhausting all his mental energy, Gu Yi even had to sleep for a while to restore his mental strength before continuing his exploration.
With persistent effort, he finally understood the entire spatial structure of this chaotic space.
"Done."
Gu Yi appeared behind the coach and threw the cleaning tools beside him.
The coach checked his watch.
Even though Gu Yi had slept on the ground for half an hour, he only took forty minutes to complete the task. This efficiency was incredibly impressive.
"You truly are worthy of being the top student in the history of Wapeng High School."
"I'm flattered."
"I have two rewards for you now. Which one would you like?"
"Which two rewards?"
"The first reward is, of course, a credit reward. As for the second reward, I think you might not need it. It's something that can help you maintain a sense of direction when you're in a chaotic space."
Gu Yi didn't rush to choose.
The coach seemed amiable and approachable, far more pleasant than the dormitory supervisor.
"Sir, I'd like to ask... what's the risk if our scores are too low?"
"Risk? Do you think our school is a battlefield? What kind of danger could there be?" The coach laughed heartily. "If you don't have enough credits, you'll simply be expelled. That's all there is to it."
As Gu Yi suspected.
He nodded and continued, "So, what exactly is this second reward?"
"Human perception is too weak, which is why you can't find a sense of direction in chaotic spaces.
The chaotic space in this gymnasium is relatively small. But the chaotic space in Library's Section B is an entirely different matter. If you were to unravel the entire space of Section B, it's many times the size of our school.
So, to navigate through chaotic spaces, you need a unique device. We, the Traveller Star people, call it the 'Compass.'
I initially thought you already had a Compass, so I didn't plan to offer it..."
"No, I want that Compass, tell me is there anything else I need to do for it?"
