Chapter 67 Immortality?
Looking at Luo Ji's horrified face, there seemed to be a slight change on Gao Su's expressionless face, "Yes, in another world, our lifespan can be extended indefinitely, which is why many players simply abandon it. One of the main reasons for choosing to live in a different world.”
Speaking of this, Gao Su turned his head slightly, "Of course, this is not free, the extension of lifespan requires a price, 10,000 civilization points for a year can make your age directly fixed at the peak period, very cheap Yes or no?"
Hearing Gao Su's last question, the horror on Luo Ji's face subsided a little, and he vaguely felt that the matter was not that simple, "So, what's the point?"
"The point lies in a misunderstanding. When you hear the sentence that life can be extended indefinitely, what is the first word that comes to your mind?"
"Immortal?" Luo Ji asked tentatively.
"It is longevity, but not immortality." Gao Su explained seriously.
Luo Ji reacted very quickly, and the moment he heard this sentence, there was a flash of understanding in his eyes, "That is to say, even if you extend your lifespan by a hundred years, if I stab you in the heart, you will be damned. You still have to die, right?"
"That's right, that's it." Gao Su nodded with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
After learning about the actual situation, Luo Ji's mood was completely calmed down, immortality, immortality, but not immortality. Gao Su's words were very apt, but in this way, the temptation of prolonging life is obvious. It's a direct drop.
I can't say that there is no temptation, I can only say that the expectations were too high at the beginning, and then suddenly found out that it is not the case at all, which is inevitably disappointing, and Luo Ji is still young, and he has not yet reached the time to worry about his natural lifespan. With age, like this, the temptation is naturally smaller.
"According to what you said, can a life-sustaining method like this be used for the people in my civilization?"
In the face of Luo Ji's speculation, Gao Su affirmed, "That's right, after all, talents with great talent and potential are not found everywhere."
"But in this way, with the development of civilization, the later stage, the more people who need to continue their lives, the price of 10,000 civilization points a year doesn't sound that cheap, let alone the development project. Such places also have to consume civilization points, if you are not careful, it is easy to collapse in the later stage, right?"
"Yes, so sometimes in order to avoid the collapse due to the huge consumption of civilization points in the later stage, each player must make an appropriate choice, or start a war madly and plunder the civilization points of other players, after all, every war. The winner can take half of the points from the loser."
"Apart from these two methods, isn't there a more permanent method?" Luo Ji asked with a frown. The two methods that Gao Su mentioned were not the best for him, so he took the first place. For example, two characters with a five-star upper limit are placed in front of you, and you are asked to choose one and give up the other? No matter which one you give up, it will be a pain in the ass! The second way to wage wars and earn civilization points is too unstable.
"There are also ways to do it once and for all, and there are only two that I can think of." While speaking, Gao Su gestured with two fingers.
This really surprised Luo Ji, but he instinctively felt that these two methods were definitely not that easy, "Let's hear it."
"The first method is to become some special civilization. When I gave an example before, did I mention a 'mechanical civilization'?
Luo Ji's eyelids jumped when he heard this, he seemed to have imagined something...
"That mechanical civilization is not just a nonsense, it is an extremely powerful civilization in the game, that player transferred the consciousness of all the people in his civilization into the mechanical body, and as a price, made his entire civilization. The people of civilization have achieved immortality to a certain extent, and theoretically speaking, as long as the energy is not depleted and the mechanical core carrying the conscious body is not damaged, they are immortal and immortal."
His prediction was verified, Luo Ji let out a long breath, "I always feel that the price is not small."
"That's right, the price is not small." Gao Su nodded, "Because the entire civilization has turned into mechanical beings, they have completely lost their fertility, and the population has stopped growing. They can only be recovered by plundering the populations of other civilizations. To increase the population of one's own civilization, in addition to that, it seems that the senses such as smell and taste are gone. Strictly speaking, it can no longer be regarded as a human being, but it is undeniable that from the perspective of combat effectiveness , they are very strong, and they are the existence of a party's hegemony level."
"This method is too difficult, I don't even have a treasure chest now, let alone a fragment of the world, and, even if I really have that opportunity, it's hard for me to make up my mind. My whole person has become a machine. What's the point of living? Let's talk about the second method."
"The second method is to use a gold-level item, the elixir of life." Gao Su's tone slowed down significantly when he uttered the name 'elixir of life'.
"Gold level item..." Luo Ji stretched out his hand to cover his face, "This should be the highest level item, right?"
"There are only World Fragments that are above the gold level. However, although the elixir of life is a gold level, its value is relatively subtle. There are often players who open it and throw the elixir into the auction because of the number of shortcomings. I remember shooting one a while ago."
"Is there such a thing?" Luo Ji was a little surprised.
"It's the same sentence, longevity, but not immortality."
"I see." Luo Ji suddenly realized, "How much did the elixir cost?"
"3.79 million civilization points"
"Hi--" He took a decisive breath. This was a figure he couldn't even imagine at the moment, but at the same time, he had also figured out the subtle value of the elixir.
Spending civilization points to last a hundred years will cost only 1 million, but an elixir costs nearly 4 million civilization points, and it still has to be taken out at one time, in case the person who eats the elixir will live After decades, suddenly contracted the plague, or died on the battlefield? Wouldn't that be a loss of money? Instead of doing this, it is better to sell it for money, make a lot of money first, and then see you again when you really need to continue your life.
It really can't be said that the people who sell the 'elixir of life' are short-sighted, but the effect is indeed subtle, especially for those fierce generals who often need to go to the battlefield, it is the safest to continue their lives year after year.
The cumulative increase in the collection is one thousand plus more
