There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 68: Solidifying cognition and improving spiritual attributes
As the words were spoken, a tired woman in a white coat and square black-framed glasses appeared in front of Xiao Yang.

"Honestly, even after being exposed to the God Game for so long, I still find it somewhat unbelievable. I'm sorry to have dragged you into this terrible disaster, but I'm truly at my wit's end. I can only send you a rescue message through the God Game."

Having said that, the woman in the white coat took out a box of fruit candy from her pocket and waved to Xiao Yang.

"Either?"

"Need not."

"In my opinion, the various planes and races shouldn't be so harmonious. The relationship between you and me should be more acute. There should be competition between worlds, and there should be the possibility of mutual squeeze of resources between players.

Large planes devour smaller ones, strong players devour weaker ones. Pure help shouldn't be so easy to come by. What do you need when you come here? Do you need legends, or something akin to faith?"

While putting the fruit candy into her mouth, the tired woman stared at Xiao Yang with burning eyes.

This is a rather acute question, and coincidentally, Xiao Yang is also thinking about this issue.

At that time, I agreed to the commission from the Holy Light Messenger without thinking, and came to this world without any preparation.

Even if it was for the purpose of redeeming Flame, he actually had more and better options, such as sending pornographic pictures in the group. Okay, this method might not be effective, but he didn't have to come here to do all this.

Just taking this step would require Xiao Yang to take a huge risk.

He had dared to bet on Red Beard because he found himself out of touch with the Game of Gods and what he was experiencing. No matter what, he needed intelligence about the Game of Gods, some information that might be commonplace in the eyes of other Game of Gods players. He was the first player in his plane and had no experience given to him, and the environment he was in was not safe.

No matter what, he would choose a player to trust and take a gamble in order to obtain useful information, for intelligence that was not uncommon.

After all, it wasn't the moment he entered the Skeleton Dungeon that he opened his eyes and found himself reborn.

Everything should have been done more cautiously, and he shouldn't have gambled again, but that day, in a daze, he excitedly accepted the commission and came here.

In the past few days, Xiao Yang has been avoiding this question, that is, why he came here in a trance state with a surge of blood, until now, until the question asked by the woman in the white coat.

If you think about it carefully, the answer may be very simple.

He may be too accustomed to the grand narrative of collectivism, and he may really have had fantasies about becoming a hero or a savior. Of course, these can all be summarized in the simplest sentence.

Up.

It's a simple and crude reason, but it's not so easy to express.

Xiao Yang didn't know how to express this. He couldn't just tell the woman in the white coat in front of him directly that the reason he came here was because he was in a trance and in the most straightforward state. He came here directly because of a simple instigation and his blood was boiling, without thinking it through.

At this moment, his mind was racing as he thought about how to give a decent answer.

Finally spoke.

"Maybe it's because when I came here, someone told me that if I don't help you who are going through this kind of thing, then when I go through this kind of thing, there might be no one to save me!
And even if the relationship between the world and the players in the world has always been full of competition, it has always been like this, right?"

Such a sentence directly stumped the woman in the white coat in front of her. She slowly opened her mouth and looked at Xiao Yang with a frown and tilted head.

On the contrary, Xiao Yang now had a righteous expression on his face, but he might not be so at peace in his heart.

Speak silently in your heart.

"Please forgive me, Mr. Lu. Although I plagiarized your words, I also meant well!"

After a long moment, the woman in the white coat looked at Xiao Yang with an inexplicable gaze. She did not ask Xiao Yang why he came here, but simply introduced herself. "I'm a coffee drinker who stays up late. This is my name in the God Game, but you can also call me by my real name, Yuli."

Let me show you around this ancient sanctuary."

Yuli put her hands in the pockets of her white coat and led Xiao Yang deeper into the shelter.

This place is not as complicated as you might imagine. If you walk a little closer, you can see the densely packed hibernation chambers that look like capsules.

Yuli introduced Xiao Yang in a lazy tone.

"This is the last spark of Hope Sanctuary, and it's also our final retreat. When all else fails, some people will retreat here, entering a long hibernation, waiting for the world to return to normal.

So you don't have to worry too much about us. If things are impossible in two days, just leave this world. Such things have happened more than once in the history of this world.

Every five thousand years, those monsters stained with dragon blood would rush onto the land once, and then return to the ocean after destroying everything.

The dragon blood samples you gave me have given me a deeper understanding of these monsters. We'll soon make progress, but unfortunately, I don't know if we can overcome this difficulty."

Such words made Xiao Yang hesitate and ask such a question.

"How many people can this place accommodate for hibernation?"

"About a thousand people."

"Then will you retreat into the hibernation chamber yourself?"

"No, according to my observations, when these monsters that inherited dragon blood retreat into the sea, my world will once again enter a new cycle of magic tidal cycles. At that time, even the God Game System will fall asleep again.

I don’t want to continue this cycle of despair.”

Xiao Yang fell silent. This was such a heavy topic, although Yuli herself had an indifferent expression.

The heavy atmosphere didn't last long because it wouldn't change anything more.

There are a total of 200,000 people gathered in the Hope Shelter, and only 1,000 of them have the final escape route. Of the remaining 199,000 people, naturally only one is left.

Xiao Yang didn't know if he could change the heroic ending, but he would try his best.

After coming to this world, Xiao Yang gradually understood the meaning of the words of the Holy Light Messenger. It can only be said that the God Game is not a real game.

Suddenly, a window of the God Game popped up towards Xiao Yang.

[Congratulations to the player, your spiritual attributes have increased significantly]

【Spirit: 20】

At this moment, he also had a deeper understanding of the attribute of spirit. The attribute of spirit, which was born under the gaze of the evil god, is not a single energy attribute, but an abstract special attribute derived from the self's will, the cognition of the world, and the cognition of oneself.

It appears because of the evil gods, and it will also pull people towards the evil gods, but it itself is the best barrier to defend against the evil gods.

If you can stick to yourself, firmly understand the world, and anchor yourself, then the evil god will be resisted by you forever, although this is difficult.
