Dimension Game Empire Chapter 272

PS: Seeking monthly tickets and flowers!!

“Teacher also knows, Black.Lotus, after I killed the previous Red King, I disappeared and lived in hiding for two years, right?”

After regaining her composure, Kuroyukihime slowly explained.

“Me saying this doesn’t mean I’ve encountered several angry kings and their assassins in these two years, and won every time. That’s not the case… In these two years, I haven’t connected my neural network device to the global network.”

“As long as I’m not logged into the battle list, naturally no one can challenge me. Without a neural network device, I can still browse the web through a fixed panel terminal, it’s just that watching 2D images too much can make my eyes a little tired, but you get used to it…”

“However, even if I can block the global network, due to my social identity, there is one network that I have to connect to every day.”

That’s right. Kuroyukihime is a student, so she naturally has to connect to the campus LAN. The girl’s words reminded Xia Yan of this minor part of the original plot.

“Teacher, what’s wrong?”

A woman’s unique intuition allowed Kuroyukihime to keenly notice the abnormal aura of the man behind her for a moment. The girl, with a piece of crispy tempura in her mouth, turned her head curiously to look at Xia Yan while chewing.

This somewhat cute appearance made Xia Yan couldn’t help but feel moved.

Apart from her aloof temperament, Kuroyukihime is simply the perfect target.

Of course, it can also be considered a cute point. Moreover, Kuroyukihime is only fourteen years old, so there is still room for development.

As for her aloof temperament, under Xia Yan’s unreasonable offensive, Kuroyukihime simply can’t stay cold when facing Xia Yan.

Xia Yan naturally smiled, propped himself up slightly, and bit the outside of the tempura under Kuroyukihime’s surprised gaze.

The two of them eating the two ends of the tempura was like lovers in the midst of a passionate relationship sharing a tempura.

“Te..acher…”

The girl let out a somewhat vague exclamation, but she couldn’t move her head away, and could only watch as Xia Yan gradually devoured the delicacy in her mouth.

Faced with Xia Yan’s matter-of-fact tone, the girl’s mind flashed with such thoughts, but the slightly raised corners of her mouth revealed Kuroyukihime’s mood.

“Back to the previous topic, Saki, why did you suddenly take the initiative to come to me today?” Xia Yan remembered the topic before the accelerated battle with the blue imaginary body, and asked.

Although she no longer resisted Xia Yan, Kuroyukihime still couldn’t get over the hurdle of teacher-student relationship in her heart. She always needed Xia Yan to call her before she would come to the infirmary to eat with Xia Yan.

But today, it was a little different. Kuroyukihime took the initiative to come to him.

Xia Yan’s words made Kuroyukihime quiet down. After a while, she slowly spoke. However, the girl didn’t immediately say what was going on, but asked a question.

“Teacher, since you know my identity in the accelerated world, then you should know about Black.Lotus, the biggest traitor in the accelerated world, right?”

Kuroyukihime, who still doesn’t know that Xia Yan became an overclocked linker by taking away her only chance to develop a subordinate, still thinks Xia Yan’s identity is very mysterious.

Nodding, Xia Yan indicated that he knew.

Brain.Burst, officially named “Brain.Burst 2039”, was released seven years ago by an unknown creator and has undergone several upgrades and updates.

The lowest level in this game is Lv.1, and the highest level is Lv.10.

But even after such a long time, not a single brain-accelerated person has reached level 10. Since the game’s inception, only eight people have reached the level of Lv.9. The reason is entirely because the conditions set for Lv.10 are too harsh.

The accelerated world has only a little over a thousand players due to the overly harsh installation conditions. Don’t think that Xia Yan has only upgraded to Lv.3 in a week and think that this game is very easy to level up.

This is based on Xia Yan’s cross-level challenges and his undefeated record to date. If it were any other overclocked linker, it would take several months of the real world to reach the level of Lv.3.

The road to upgrading for overclocked linkers is unexpectedly long.

Even among the estimated total of one thousand brain-accelerated people, the number of people above level 4 is quite limited, about one hundred or so.

And level 5 and 6 are basically impossible to achieve in single-player battles, and must be earned through activities in the unlimited neutral space.

Brain-accelerated people of level 7 and 8 are almost all members of the legion. They are able to upgrade through the resources allocated by a legion.

The massive amount of overclocking points required for this kind of upgrade has left only seven Lv.9 overclocked linkers.

Under these harsh conditions, there is only one way to advance to Lv.10.

Lv.9, mutual slaughter between kings.

As long as you defeat the other five Lv.9s besides yourself, you can upgrade to Lv.10.

When Lv.9 faces Lv.9, the penalty for losing the battle is not as simple as deducting overclocking points. The losing party will immediately be forced to uninstall the Barin.Brust program and lose all memories of the accelerated world.

Faced with this situation, how would the only seven kings choose?

“There are no adults among brain-accelerated people. The oldest is only fifteen years old, and they are all still children. Because they are all children, they must protect their privileges no matter what when they become brain-accelerated people.”

Kuroyukihime’s beautiful lips seemed to reveal a sarcastic smile for a moment.

“Moreover, they also share the naive fantasies that only children have. In the summer two years ago, the young kings almost simultaneously reached level 9. Afterwards, they learned through system information the cruel rules for reaching level 10.

As a result, did they start a bloody and tearful slaughter? — No. What the kings chose was eternal stagnation. Rather than moving forward, they prioritized maintaining their own paradise.

That is, dividing the accelerated world into territories of different forces and concluding a non-aggression treaty. Really, they are quite happy to play these little tricks. Clearly, their level 9 is still based on hunting countless brain-accelerated people, right?”

The girl was obviously dissatisfied with the behavior of the other kings.

After all, the girl who was the ‘Black King’ killed the first generation ‘Red King’ at the peace treaty dance. She became the biggest traitor in the accelerated world.

Because of this, she started a two-year period of hiding.

“Teacher is also wondering, why did I betray the other kings?”

The girl’s eyes were a little erratic. Unlike when she had always been strongly suppressed by Xia Yan, she revealed a longing, curious light, showing her true self.

“Through thought acceleration, we can easily win money, grades, or fame. But is this really the meaning of our battle, the reward we seek, the limit we can reach?”

“Could it be… could it be that there is no greater goal?… that can allow us to break free… from this human shell, and move towards the outer, higher places…”

Kuroyukihime was wholeheartedly immersed in this magical idea, but did not notice Xia Yan’s expression.

“Transcending humanity, exceeding limits, seeing the scenery of a higher level… I didn’t expect such a child to think of this…”

The girl’s similar longing and pursuit truly made Xia Yan take this girl seriously.

Maybe she really doesn’t have any power now, but no one can deny the possibility of a girl with such a pursuit. Didn’t Xia Yan himself have no power before?

In some ways, Kuroyukihime is very similar to himself before participating in the Empire Game. But what makes her luckier is that Kuroyukihime encountered such a magical program as Barin.Brust and liberated herself.

And Xia Yan didn’t show his true self until the appearance of the Empire Game.

Maybe… this girl is just missing an opportunity… missing a platform that can allow her to spread her wings and fly high.

A look of anticipation flashed in Xia Yan’s eyes.
