Chapter 218 Is It Getting Worse?
Adventurers and mercenaries in the dream plane have always been simple and crude in dealing with problems, because they spend most of their time in various ruins and war zones. There are countless things in that place that can cause trouble for them, but Betsy wants to be in Hao She definitely couldn't do this if she was staying at Ren's house. Hao Ren had to consider making a training plan for her, at least to stop the girl from drawing out her sword and throwing it out with a storm of blades...
"So... I got into trouble?" Betsy also realized at this time that what she had chopped down with her sword was something that was used daily by people, and looking at the appearance of that thing, it was neat and beautifully decorated (in her eyes), so it was probably not worth much. Fei, "How much does this cost?"
Hao Ren stared at Betsy with bulging eyes for a while, and could only wave his hands feebly: "You have no money to pay for it, forget it, I'll write it in the report, this is considered a work loss, and the superiors should reimburse you."
Betsy felt relieved and continued to pick up the bag of snacks and eat with satisfaction: when she left the dream plane, she said goodbye to Hao Ren and the others before going back, so she didn't bother to eat, and she was hungry at this time. . Lily usually values her snacks more than her life, but she was unexpectedly generous at this time. She probably saw that the bread, cakes, etc. in the refrigerator were about to expire, and planned to take this opportunity to clear out the inventory so that she could find an excuse to buy new ones. Hao Ren looked awkwardly at Betsy's mercenary attire: "You'd better find a place to put this equipment away."
Betsy stuffed a mouthful of spicy sticks, rolled her eyes and swallowed hard, then put her hand on the sword beside her: "Is this the rule here? Do outsiders have to have their weapons confiscated?"
"It's a rule," Hao Ren pointed at Betsy's big killer weapon. "It's easy to attract the armed police if you carry this thing on the street. In addition, you are wearing mercenary clothes, leather armor and riding boots. Most of all, I'd better replace it, it's too conspicuous here."
Betsy licked her fingers and stood up and turned around in a circle. She was as careless as she was. At this moment, under Hao Ren's reminder, she realized that her dress might be too eye-catching in this world, and she thought of Hao Ren and the others in Mengwei. Seeing how strange the clothes on her body were when we met, it was easy to understand that she was in the same state now. She tugged at the scarf on her chest and the ring-encrusted belt with the dagger hanging around her waist: "But I don't have any other clothes."
Hao Ren turned his attention to the surrounding girls for help, and finally Nangong Wuyue stood up and said, "We have similar figures, let her wear mine first. Your clothes are just right for me to wash for you, and I will give them back when you go back." you."
Betsy scratched her face awkwardly: "Why don't you bother me? I can just do it myself..."
Hao Ren quickly stopped him: "Don't be polite, don't chop up my washing machine again."
Nangong Wuyue took Betsy to her room to pick out clothes. The remaining people looked at each other in the living room. Hao Ren took out the data terminal that was pretending to be dead in his pocket, placed it on the coffee table and poked at it: "Funny, please explain this phenomenon."
The data terminal continued to lie down and pretended to be dead, and even turned off all the lights. Seeing this, Hao Ren took out a Pleasant Goat sticker from Lily's mountain of snacks: "On the count of three, if you continue to pretend to be dead, I will stick this thing on you." On the forehead, Doudou will definitely like it."
"I don't even know where my forehead is, so I don't believe you can find it." The data terminal's voice suddenly floated up, and then it muttered, "This cannot be explained logically. The destination of the teleportation that this machine is logged in to. There is only Hilda, how come there is one more... and she is a native of the Dream Plane. It stands to reason that her connection with the original world is very stable, and she should not be pulled out so easily."
Vivian looked at the data terminal curiously: "Is there something you don't know about?"
"Nonsense, this machine just has a larger database, and it is not omniscient and omnipotent." The data terminal slowly landed on the coffee table, posing at a forty-five-degree angle like a meditator and began to slowly flash the light, "This machine is based on the above The teleportation rules are set based on the dream plane-table world mapping logic updated from the local universe database, and are specifically adjusted for each individual participating in the teleportation. In theory, this kind of thing should not happen."
Hao Ren suddenly had a thought: "Wait a minute, you said it was last updated? When were the dream plane mapping rules recorded in the local universe database updated?"
"Ah, it must have been several months. At that time, you were not yet a censor, and this machine had just come off the production line."
"How many months?" Hao Ren found it incredible at first. He didn't expect that something as sophisticated as the local universe database would not be updated for several months. "Why is it that no one maintains anything about the dream plane?" What?"
"You really hit the mark, that's the situation. In fact, you also know that before you, there were no special agents who had contact with the dream plane at all, and the empire would not pay too much attention to such trivial issues. Energy - the data updates related to the Dream Plane are in charge of a private company called 'Star Tower'. They are a business team under the affiliated civilization of the affiliated unit of the Space-Time Administration," the data terminal said Then, seeing the disbelief and serious questioning look on Hao Ren's face, he added, "Don't think this is inappropriate. In fact, the Dream Plane has always been stable. When Starlight Tower initially took over the data update business, it was still five thousand Years ago, since then, they have updated the database tens of thousands of times, but the total amount of corrections has been less than one percent. Although the relationship between the dream plane and the surface world seems unstable, in fact, it has always been Maintaining a balance...Of course, it seems like something is going to go wrong recently."
Hao Ren has now become more and more understanding of the behavior of the Xiling Empire (or the Xiling God System). As god-level rulers, they do have a serious and responsible side, but at the same time they are also good at solving problems simply and crudely. The basic unit of their management of the endless world is the "universe", which means that whether it is a star system or a galaxy below, or even the dream plane that occupies half of the world, it is all a matter of detail for those gods - yes It can be entrusted to mortal assistants at all levels and various private companies for disposal.
Mortals make mistakes, so there will be mistakes in these "minutical" issues, and one of the responsibilities of the censor is to solve and coordinate these mistakes. These are all mentioned in the censor's employee handbook. .
But Hao Ren didn't understand it at the time...
This kind of management method is different from the harsh situation in many religious stories where gods stare at the world and cause natural and man-made disasters to "purify" mortals if they make the slightest mistake. It can be said to give maximum autonomy to mortals. I, only when the lower civilizations make a big mess, will the Space and Time Management Bureau come down to clean up the mess. Otherwise, even if a certain civilization becomes a god with a hot head, the group of Xiling apostles with extremely broad minds will only He can just laugh and scold him as "a naughty kid". This is a good thing for all mortal civilizations. They can be open to tossing. Even if they are about to kill themselves, a group of gods will come down to save them, but it is not very comfortable for the censors who are caught between mortals and gods. Alright—Hao Ren now has a lawsuit on his head.
The data terminal also knew what Hao Ren was thinking: "By the way...could it be that the mapping relationship is messed up?"
Lily turned her head and looked around, feeling that these questions were profound and difficult to understand: "Isn't it the weakening of balance you mentioned? Just like that spaceship, there is a hole in the barrier of the dream plane..."
"It's more serious than that," Hao Ren explained to Lily. "The disappearance of the orb, the crash of the spaceship, and Hilda's time travel can all be regarded as natural disasters and are spontaneous phenomena. However, this time Betsy was accidentally brought out at the data terminal. It happened when precise calculations were made and the entire process was highly controllable. This shows that not only can accidents happen under natural circumstances, but accidents can happen even when safety preparations are made and procedures are accurate, which is a big trouble."
In fact, Hao Ren also had a metaphor in his heart: This is how he got pregnant even though he was fully prepared with condoms and medicines. The holes in the dream plane were already impossible to guard against - but he was really embarrassed to see the girl with a full face in front of him. The husky with a pure white expression said such unscrupulous words.
"Excuse me..." Hilda's voice woke Hao Ren out of his thoughts. The elf queen seemed to be unable to sit still. "Does what you are talking about have anything to do with my hometown?"
"It has nothing to do with you," Hao Ren waved his hands, then suddenly stood up and made a decision, "Well, I'll take you to my boss now - I've been holding back something to ask her, and I really can't wait any longer. "
Hilda suddenly laughed happily: "Just right, I can't wait any longer."
