This was the suburb, surrounded by mountains and forests, and there were birds chirping in the wind. It was reasonable to say that such an environment should be relaxing and peaceful.
But after listening to the content of the phone, he felt a little nervous.
As a member of the system, Zhao Haitao knew very well how intense the operation would be after such an order was issued.
He put the phone away and said casually, "It seems that I won't be able to rest for a while."
Although he said that, his expression was actually smiling.
As a researcher, it was certainly a happy thing to have something to study and a goal to work on.
At this moment, Roland was sitting in the newly renovated house.
It had two bedrooms and a living room, and it seemed a little too big for one person to live in.
He opened the windows and didn't even draw the curtains to ventilate the room. After all, it was a newly renovated room, and it was said that there were still a lot of chemicals that hadn't evaporated.
Far away from the window was the hill where Roland's secret base was hidden.
The mountain wasn't high, but the spirit of the immortals … Roland could now cast spells, so he could be considered an Extraordinary. If he were an ancient person, it wouldn't be a problem for him to be a half-immortal.
Unfortunately … Roland, a half-immortal, didn't even dare to show his face, and the secret base had to be hidden.
He lay in the rocking chair, creaking and shaking his head, and soon fell asleep.
A cool breeze blew in from the window. It was quite comfortable.
After a while, he woke up on his own and habitually looked at the hill, only to find that many cars and people were gathered at the foot of the hill, and then they were walking up the hill with shovels and sickles.
And they were chopping the grass along the way, as if they were looking for something.
Roland was stunned for a moment, and then he found it strange. What were they looking for in such a big way?
A stone pillar that he made with Mud to Stone?
That was just a hard stone. There was no need to make such a big fuss.
Was there anything special about it?
Roland had never thought about how hard the rock he made with magic was. He only knew that it was hard. After all, Mud to Stone was a spell that he had optimized many times.
In the game, a thirty-centimeter-thick stone wall could block three consecutive attacks from a Master-level Warrior.
Charge, Cleave, Whirlwind.
It was only two or three seconds, but it was enough.
Because Warriors only had three skills.
All that was left was a normal attack. No matter how good one's talent was, it would take at least five or six seconds for a combo like this to happen.
Sounds like warriors are pretty useless?
However, such warriors were almost synonymous with the Grim Reaper on the battlefield.
This combo could kill dozens of soldiers in two to three seconds.
Only a freak like Roland could suppress most Warriors at the same level.
However, he couldn't do anything to Andonara. Even if he suppressed Andonara's level to his, he still couldn't beat her.
After all, the Great Swordsman + Hero class interface was too amazing.
It was also because Roland hadn't tested how hard the stone slabs he made were, so there was a gap in information.
He had thought that it was just a useless stone pillar.
But in the eyes of experts, it was a priceless treasure.
After all, his secret base was hidden more than a hundred meters underground. Even if he wanted to find the stone pillars, he wouldn't want to dig up the entire mountain.
However, he still underestimated the power of the Death Command.
On the first day, they just shoveled grass, and on the second day, they began to cut down trees. Soon, the whole mountain became bare.
There were green mountains and clear waters everywhere, except that the mountain there was bald and rather ugly.
Roland frowned as he watched.
On the third day, the excavator began to rise.
Roland took a deep breath, closed the curtains, locked the door, and teleported to the underground.
When he teleported to the secret base, some of the researchers who were holding detectors all found that their instruments flickered.
Only half a second passed.
After Roland landed in the secret base, he cast Illumination and sighed at the square space around him that wasn't very large.
The secret base that he had worked so hard to build was about to be destroyed.
It wasn't because it was troublesome, but because his energy was limited.
Casting Magic Power consumed his own body, which meant that his hard work this month was wasted.
His heart ached.
Roland heaved a long sigh for half a second and waved his hand.
The stone walls and pillars on the left and right melted into mud at a high speed.
Soon, the whole space collapsed, drowning all the potted plants.
Before the space completely collapsed, Roland teleported back to his room.
Then he reopened the window, pulled it open, and lay quietly in the rocking chair.
He heaved a long sigh.
Because it was really heartbreaking.
He stayed here until the evening, then went home, took a shower, meditated for a while, and entered the game.
He continued to learn etiquette in the game world, continued to stay in Stephanie's manor, and then found time to spend time with Andonara.
He also studied magic while he was at it.
At the same time, the rabbit's demolition team soon razed the whole mountain.
They even dug three feet into the ground and dug out the underground river water before they stopped.
At night, most people were already asleep, but in the conference room of the provincial geological headquarters, there were nearly a hundred experts and special security personnel sitting for a meeting.
Sitting in the middle was a bespectacled middle-aged leader.
"According to our testing and analysis of the existing materials, it has now been confirmed that the data of that kind of rock mass is about two times better than the current domestic deck steel, and there are no shortcomings, with more than 20% of the overall data."
There was an uproar down below.
The leader continued, "And this kind of thing is very light, its density is only slightly more than 1.4, while the density of domestic deck steel is about 5. You can understand how big the gap is."
"Also, its melting point is 400 degrees higher than the existing deck steel."
Everyone looked even more surprised.
"Also, according to the analysis of the experts in materials science, the material of this rock mass is very delicate, with everything, and even the corpses of fungi and bacteria in it, complete corpses."
In fact, it was not quite correct to use the word corpses to describe it.
But everyone present understood what the leader was trying to say, and of course, no one would argue.
This rock mass was not formed by burning at high temperatures, nor was it formed by forging.
Because normal rock mass was this density, so … judging from the data, it was very likely that this thing was naturally formed.
But that was where the abnormality lay.
A rock mass naturally formed from soil couldn't be this hard, and its adhesion wasn't that strong.
The people down below talked and whispered to each other.
They had actually seen this data several times, but every time they listened to it and saw it, they still found it incredible.
"Everyone, please be quiet. I have more important things to tell you next."
After the leader finished speaking, a picture appeared on the large LCD screen behind him.
"Our search team did not find the second section of the cylindrical rock mass on the mountain, but we unexpectedly found these things 100 meters underground."
One by one, potted plants.
The pots were all crushed, the branches and leaves were all yellow, and some even began to rot.
But they could still recognize that these were potted plants.
"According to the inference of the botanists, these plants have not been dead for more than four days."
"More than 100 ornamental plants appeared under the mountain without any passage, hey!" The leader laughed. "Do you think it's interesting?"
"Interesting."
"So now your task is …"
But at this moment, someone broke into the meeting room.
More than a dozen serious-looking men and women walked in, and one of them showed the leader on the stage his certificate.
The leader was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
The man put away the ID, picked up the microphone, and said, "Alright, this matter is over. All the information and information you've heard are confidential. Everyone is dismissed. Before you leave, you'll have to sign a confidentiality agreement. Understood?"
The leader who had just spoken stood up and left immediately.
The others also followed, but they felt it was a pity that such a rare research opportunity had nothing to do with them.
After that, these people conducted a private investigation.
A very detailed investigation. They looked at the Heavenly Eye every day and went to the streets to ask the neighbors.
Even Zhao Haitao and the Tai family were questioned by them for more than three days.
Finally, they finally locked on to the target.
About six days later, Roland came to the new house again. As soon as he entered the house and closed the door, someone knocked on the door in less than a minute.
Roland opened the door and found three young people standing outside.
They all had gentle smiles on their faces.
One of them said, "Comrade Huang Wenwei, right? We have something to talk to you about."
Roland frowned. Generally speaking, those who called others comrade were almost all people in the system.
He was a little confused. "I don't know you."
"It's something very important."
Roland saw that they were smiling and didn't have any ill intentions, so he let them in and closed the door.
He asked the three of them to sit down and poured them three glasses of water.
The three of them thanked him repeatedly. It could be seen that they were well-mannered.
"We're all young people. If you have something to say, just say it, comrade," said Roland casually.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask you to talk about Mud to Stone," said the young man in glasses very seriously.
Roland immediately became vigilant.
The look in his eyes changed.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I'm also a member of the game. My name is Douglas, Mr. Roland."
Douglas?
Roland froze.
It was his friend from the Delpon Magic Tower.
"Are you really Douglas?" Roland was startled.
"It's really you, Mr. Douglas. Yes. I work for the country now. " Seeing that Roland admitted it, Douglas was immediately ecstatic. He took Roland's hand and shook it hard. "Mr. Douglas, I'm your admirer."
"What's going on with you guys?" Although Roland had long known that this game had to be backed by the country, he didn't expect that the other party would come to him so soon and even know who he was. But on second thought, when he bought the immersive cabin, he left an address. Otherwise, the immersive cabin wouldn't have been mailed to him. "Why are you here?"
"Earlier, the General Bureau of Geology said that they got a very strange rock mass. Our forces are mostly focused on the game, and we didn't find out until things got to this point. I'm really sorry." Douglas said apologetically, "That's why we're late and almost affected your daily life."
"Are you still responsible for protecting the players?"
"Of course. Especially someone like you who's obviously talented. "
Roland was stunned. "Then can you tell me about how deeply the country is involved in the game?"
"It was started by the country in the first place," said Douglas. Douglas said, "I don't know the details, but I do know some general information."
Roland opened his hands. "Please go ahead."
Douglas cleared his throat and told him what he knew.
It turned out that as early as five years ago, a genius invented this black technology, and then the country took it over with the intention of doing experiments and training a group of talents.
So, everyone who joined the game was actually screened by the country.
There were various considerations.
It didn't mean that anyone who was smart could get a spot.
They also considered the problem of "low-quality" specimens.
And the problem of luck.
So, there were 500,000 immersive cabins of all levels.
But most of them were elites. After all, 50,000 yuan wasn't a small amount.
The country created this project with the intention of training "superhumans."
The effect was obvious. Anyone who entered the game, after a few years of training, at least had eyes, knowledge, and experience, even if they didn't have the terrifying extraordinary abilities in the game.
Especially since everyone had seen blood before.
Their quality was different.
Hearing this, Roland was a little surprised. "So this plan is in preparation for war?"
"That's part of it." Douglas nodded and admitted it. "But more than that, it's to train superhumans. They want to train people who can use special abilities. "
"So there should be a lot of them."
Roland felt that since he could use magic, people of other professions might also be able to use special skills.
For example, Sword Aura Slash.
After all, there were 500,000 players, and he couldn't be the only one with special abilities.
"Not really." Douglas sat up straight. "So far, you're the only one."
Douglas's eyes were full of admiration and burning.
Like a little girl chasing a star, she saw a superstar sitting in front of her.
She almost screamed and fainted.
The other man and woman also looked at Roland with reverence.
After all, Roland was really too good in the game.
No … in reality, he was just as good.
He was the first person who could bring his abilities out of the game.
Roland sighed. He had a feeling that the fact that he had abilities might not be hidden for long.
After all, the immersive cabin lander was something that the country had made in the first place.
How could he hide it?
"So, now I'm going to be controlled by you and studied?"
"How is that possible!" Douglas laughed. "The higher-ups asked me to tell you not to be afraid of anything and keep playing the game. If you just want to find an experiment site, tell us and we'll get it for you. "
