Chapter 2299: Specializing in Killing Temporal and Spatial Evolvers
"Isn't it because special ores inherently contain unique power?" Xu Huo said. In other places, temporal and spatial items were also more powerful than ordinary ones, and wormholes were no different.
"I think there's some truth to it." Old Cai wasn't a scholar specializing in this field; he only stated what he agreed with. "It's like how people with similar interests gather together through various coincidences. The same goes for special spatial power."
"The only reason I can think of for the Water Cube appearing here is that it can attract more temporal and spatial Super Evolvers."
"Its purpose isn't to collect data on Super Evolvers or to prompt players to evolve again, but to kill these Evolvers."
He paused here, then added with a hint of gloom, "Do you know how many Spatial Super Evolvers we had here right after order was restored in Buliucheng? Even the District Government didn't have a Temporal Super Evolver, but we had two. However, after the Water Cube appeared, they all went missing within a month."
Saying "went missing" was just a formality; the outcome was already clear—they had most likely died in the One-Third Game.
Compared to the purpose of the One-Third Game, Xu Huo was more surprised that the player organization in Buliucheng could gather so many Super Evolvers.
"Dimensional Rifts are a game well-suited for criminals." Old Cai didn't elaborate on how these people had come; he simply summarized and continued, "So I believe it was deliberately placed here to kill temporal and spatial Super Evolvers."
"Many players on Under Dimension say that after Temporal Super Evolution, time can be reversed. Based on my understanding, time definitely cannot be reversed, but for the game, that might not be the case."
Before Pumpkin City, Xu Huo also believed time couldn't be reversed, but the appearance of Curved Time had completely overturned his understanding. If the One-Third Game had truly come to Buliucheng because it foresaw the future, then its killing of temporal and spatial Evolvers made perfect sense.
Temporal and spatial Super Evolvers might represent the peak strength in the game's future and the only group with a chance to touch the core of Under Dimension. Whether it was foreseeing the future or taking precautions, reducing these two types of Super Evolvers only benefited the game.
Xu Huo couldn't remember the content of the two games, but from the players he encountered afterward and the relics brought out, he could tell that the number of Super Evolvers in the first game was already quite high. The second game was probably similar.
"Of course, this is just my speculation. I'm not sure if it's the truth." Old Cai added a note.
The authority, content, and mode of existence of the One-Third Game far surpassed other instances. Whether it was an experimental site or a graveyard specifically prepared for temporal and spatial Super Evolvers, one thing was obvious: ordinary players definitely couldn't destroy it, nor could they easily touch its core.
"Better wait until your companions send out more accurate information," Xu Huo said.
Old Cai and the others had no objections and waited on the spot.
Xu Huo came out of the building and saw the Painting Woman squatting by the street, digging at a rat hole. He asked, "Can you sense what the city center looks like?"
The Painting Woman shook her head. "But I don't want to go in."
"Instinctively feel it's dangerous?" Xu Huo looked at the barely discernible barrier, then simply sat down and opened his personal panel. He sent inquiries to Bai Kou and the player he had contacted on Under Dimension earlier.
Content related to the One-Third Game couldn't be sent successfully, but asking about spatial gaps was no problem.
The District Government had summarized the rules and content of the first game using encrypted text. To ensure it could be recorded smoothly, the encrypted document deliberately blurred the name "One-Third Game" with other substitutes, and some key content was recorded in encrypted form, requiring corresponding decryption to know what was written.
The game's content was no longer important. Besides spatial gaps, he also added inquiries about the Dimensional Rift's measures and attitudes toward Super Evolvers.
Bai Kou replied quickly and succinctly.
"Naturally formed spatial gaps have no pattern. Those created by games usually do, but given the game's calculation speed, without large-scale instruments, it's absolutely impossible to summarize them."
"Any player daring to enter an A-level wormhole point to cause trouble basically leaves no survivors, and Super Players are no exception."
The first sentence was within expectations, but the second sent a chill down the spine.
Of course, there were many Super Players who became wanted criminals. Their specific activities couldn't be monitored in real-time, but some districts had Super Players stationed there—people who should be closest to the game's core. Had there ever been a war between Super Players and A-level wormhole points in the game?
He quickly got an answer from another player.
"A-level wormhole points aren't completely sealed off on the surface, but some of them aren't even included in the numbering. Without numbers and tickets, ordinary players find it extremely difficult to locate such wormhole points and districts. Temporal and spatial Evolvers, combined with Super Items and Super Devices, can lock onto such wormhole points—it's not absolutely impossible."
"Players bold enough to enter such districts are either Super Players or close to it. You haven't been to an A-level wormhole point yet, have you? When you do instances at some A-level wormhole points, you'll know. They manage players very strictly. The District Government generally doesn't send people specifically to hunt down players who destroy ordinary districts and become wanted criminals, but many districts at A-level wormhole points will hunt down players who damage their own district to the death. After killing them, they'll announce it to the world to warn other players."
"Player hunting at A-level wormhole points is no joke."
"From this, you should understand their attitude toward temporal and spatial Super Evolvers, who can't be completely blocked by instruments and items. They're priority targets, and Super Players are no exception."
"I've heard that multiple Super Players once united to attack a district suspected of being the game's headquarters. Whether the district fell into chaos is unknown, but the game continued running normally, and those Super Players all vanished without a trace, their fate unknown."
"I guess they all died. Otherwise, the players at A-level wormhole points definitely wouldn't have let it go."
"Naturally, A-level wormhole points have better instruments that can fight against temporal Evolvers even when game channels are closed."
"Brother, I can see you're a bold and capable hard case. After you finish the instance, come find me. I have some entry tickets for secondary evolution sites—I can give you a discount!"
In addition to this, the other party added that if the range of a spatial gap wasn't too large, players with more advanced secondary evolution would actually sense it a bit. As long as they were fast enough, there was still a sliver of hope.
"Brother, are you trapped in Chaos Space? I'll give you a detector. Its principle is that it only activates when it senses spatial power. As long as you're not hit by irregular time power, it should be fine for emergencies."
Xu Huo paid for it.
But then he received another message from Bai Kou: "Don't force your way into such a site. Even if you go in, you won't gain anything."
