Everything else was fine, but the mother planet would also be erased from the Milky Way. Han Lang was stunned. He felt very uneasy. Could it be that the Dark Net had a destructive function? If he died, the Earth would be destroyed too? How could there be such a logic in the world?!
Han Lang habitually put his finger near the Moon Scar. His gaze became unfriendly.
Han Lang wasn't the only one at the scene. The words of the Dark Net emissary made almost everyone start to worry. Although they didn't attack the Dark Net emissary, many people's gazes became much sharper.
The blonde envoy smiled and said in a cold tone, "I'll say it here. It's up to you whether you believe it or not.
"The founder gathered everyone here because there's something very important that requires you to do. As long as you abide by the rules, the tragedy will not happen.
"After all, if we want you to die, it's very simple. There's no need for us to spend so much effort to bring you here. You should know that the molecular cabins that sent you here are very expensive. The cost of each subcabin is equivalent to a battleship.
"Now that things have come to this, it's impossible to back out. According to the founder's request, show your true strength. That's the only key to your survival. As experts carefully selected by us from the Dark Net, you should have the ability to survive."
After saying that, the blonde youth turned around and continued walking forward. Although the others were angry and noisy, no one really left the group.
"Is what he said true?" For some reason, the guy called Blue Moonlight had already treated Han Lang as someone he was familiar with.
Han Lang nodded and said, "I'm afraid it's true. Although the virtual world is highly developed and can simulate all human senses, it's still virtual. It can't simulate spatial tools, let alone the existence of spatial tools."
"As for the mother planet's destruction, I can't say for sure, but I don't want to take this risk."
Blue Moonlight said, "I also don't dare to put my family at risk. D * mn it, we're like snakes that have been caught by their weak spots. We can only be at the mercy of the founder of the Dark Net."
Han Lang said helplessly, "Now that things have come to this, we can only take one step at a time. That person is right. The founder of the Dark Net spent so much effort to gather us here. I don't think it's to kill us."
.....
Han Lang had reason to speculate that the long journey through the forest was to wear down these people's spirits. After all, those who had participated in the Dark Net Spell Assembly were the cream of the crop. It was only natural for them to be a little emotional after knowing that they had been cheated.
After two days and two nights, there were still several thousand people in the group, but they had become much quieter. Their will to resist was being worn down, and most people began to think about how to survive.
This was the classic prisoner's paradox in psychology. People who understood that they had no way to escape would slowly accept their current situation, even if it was very tragic.
Finally, on the morning of the third day, the team walked out of the forest and came to a vast grassland. At the end of the grassland was a beach, which was connected to the endless sea.
In the center of the grassland, countless tents of various sizes had already been set up. Teams from other directions had already arrived earlier and settled in the tent area.
The Darknet emissary instructed everyone to find a place to stay. Other than the dozens of big tents in the middle of the field, the rest of the tents could be chosen at will. The tents that were already occupied would light up with yellow lights.
Han Lang found a small tent and went in to take a look. He was shocked to see that there was actually a complete room in this low tent. There was a bed, a rosewood table, and chairs. There was even a round bathtub in the bathroom.
At this moment, Blue Moonlight ran into Han Lang's tent and said in surprise, "So your tent is the same as mine. This is probably spatial technology!"
"That's right." Han Lang frowned slightly and said, "It seems that the founder of the Dark Net has made ample preparations. Where are you staying?"
"Just opposite you."
Han Lang lay down on the bed, closed his eyes slightly, and said softly, "Let's take a break while we still have time. I have a feeling that the days from now on won't be easy."
"You sure can keep your composure." Blue Moonlight shook her head and left Han Lang's tent.
In fact, Han Lang was not tired. He was just thinking, trying to reconstruct the entire process in his mind, trying to find any trace of existence.
.....
At noon, the sound of a horn came from the campsite.
Han Lang walked out of the tent and saw that there were about 100,000 people gathered in the campsite. An old, hoarse voice said to everyone, "Welcome to the Dark Net Spell Gathering. I'm one of the founders of the Dark Net, codename Three Lives.
"You don't have to look for me. I'm not in the campsite right now. I'm talking to you through the internet.
"In summary, this is what happened. I need some people, some top elites, to help me solve a problem.
"Therefore, I thought of the Dark Net. You're all the best of the best in the Dark Net. Therefore, I sent out an email and brought you here. I'll choose the most outstanding among you to help me complete this task.
"The reason why it's called the Dark Net Spell Gathering is that you'll have to fight with your highest standards here. In order to prevent you from hiding anything, I've set a stricter rule. The winner lives, and the loser dies.
"Perhaps my subordinates have already told you that this is not a virtual world but a real one. Therefore, if you die, you'll really die. Not only will you die, but I also have some secret records here that record the things that you care about the most.
"Some people don't care about their own lives, but they care about their families. If such people lose, I'll make your families pay the price.
"Some people like their hometown. If such people lose, I'll make your hometown pay the price.
"And some people don't care about others and only care about themselves. If such people lose, I'll take their lives.
"Therefore, please remember that everyone has a weakness. People who don't care about their own lives and don't care about others' lives do not exist.
"Although this rule is strict, it's necessary because what I want to do is extremely important. Therefore, I can only take advantage of your weaknesses and force you to use your full strength.
"In the center of this campsite, there are dozens of large tents. Each large tent represents a profession or a skill. If you're an assassin, go to the tent for recruiting assassins to register. If you're an apothecary, go to the tent for apothecaries to register.
"When you register, we'll tell you what the punishment will be if you don't work hard. Then, you can consider whether you want to bring out your strongest skills and fight to the death.
"You'll have enough time to prepare, and you can trade at will in the campsite. For example, if you're an apothecary and need a certain medicine, you have two choices. You can go to a designated location to collect the medicinal ingredients yourself, or you can use what you have to trade with others.
"Of course, the most important thing is the competition. In every profession, we will decide who is the best. Although you will be taking a risk and losing your freedom, you will be able to watch the most outstanding experts fight each other here. This is actually a kind of pleasure."
"Finally, the person I've chosen will follow me to a place to carry out a very important task. If you succeed, you'll receive an unimaginable reward!
"Now, you can return to your respective tents. There's a virtual neural helmet in your desk drawer. I'll give you ten minutes to see the true strength of the Dark Net. If you win, you'll receive access to a deeper level of the Dark Net.
"What I want to say is, don't be too excited after you see it.
"Goodbye. I hope you'll all do your best and have good luck."
The old and hoarse voice came to an end. Han Lang saw that everyone's faces were twisted in a strange way.
The founder, San Sheng, was right. Everyone had a weakness. The Dark Net was very determined this time. They put a knife on everyone's neck and forced everyone to do their best.
Frowning slightly, Han Lang returned to the tent and found a helmet in the desk.
To be precise, it looked more like a headband. It was circular and wore on the head. It connected the neurons in the brain wirelessly and reached the goal of the virtual world.
Han Lang pressed the start button lightly, and the log-in program started. The black glasses stretched out from the headband and covered Han Lang's eyes. Han Lang's consciousness was sent into the unfathomable virtual world of the Dark Net.
Han Lang seemed to have walked to a door. It was clearly written on the door that led to the second level of the Dark Net.
He walked in, and there were countless doors, differentiated by category.
Han Lang chose the door called Plants. Having studied pharmacology, Han Lang knew that plants were one of the basic ingredients in pharmacology. The door of Plants should be displaying all kinds of rare plants.
Three minutes later, Han Lang stepped out of the door.
Although he had expected to see many rare plants, he had not expected them to be so bizarre.
There was a plant called the Twin Lotus that could be planted in a human's body. If the person died, the Twin Lotus would activate and give him a second life.
There was another plant called the Fantasy Star Plum. It was said that if the seeds of the Fantasy Star Plum were planted on a barren planet, the Fantasy Star Plum would grow and purify. Within seven days, it would transform the planet into a planet suitable for human habitation with oxygen and water.
Han Lang was stunned. Coming back from the dead and creating the world in seven days — these were all stories that only existed in myths. How could the Dark Net have such a bizarre species? It was unheard of.
Of course, these things could not be exchanged with galactic coins. They could be exchanged for points or other special requirements. As for the owners of these strange species, they never showed up.
Han Lang forced himself to calm down and walked into the door called Genetic Creatures.
Here, Han Lang saw many more things that shocked him. For example, there was a giant beast that could swallow a planet in one gulp called the Sea Devourer.
Anyone who had studied genetic science would know that the larger the size of a Genetic Creature, the harder it was to create a Genetic Creature. This was because the number of neurons needed to be connected to a large Genetic Creature was too many, far beyond what a human could achieve. Without a doubt, the Sea Devourer must have used some kind of technology that Han Lang did not understand. Even Han Lang did not know what the Sea Devourer was.
When he walked out of the door of Genetic Creatures, Han Lang was already in a state that could not be described with words. He was crazy about these mysterious beings.
The ten-minute time limit was about to pass, and Han Lang had no choice but to enter the last door. His eyes quickly flashed through many different doors. Finally, he chose his target.
