Chapter 126: World Fragment
[System Notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for acquiring the mysterious item ‘World Fragment’]
The impact in that instant was too intense, making Luo Ji feel dizzy.
Then, after a moment of reaction, his entire facial expression underwent a dramatic change!
“Hahahaha, hahahahahahaha!!!!”
He went completely mad at this moment.
The surge of exhilaration, erupting like a volcanic eruption, plunged him into a state of frenzy.
“I got it, I got it!”
“World Fragment! Special Buildings, Special Troop Types! Special Civilization!”
“I got it, hahahahaha!!!”
He waved his arms and spoke incoherently.
At this moment, even Luo Ji himself didn’t know what he was doing!
Luckily, there was no one else in the tent.
Otherwise, the other members of the Mirror Tribe would surely think their Chief was possessed!
Eventually, he was utterly exhausted and collapsed directly onto the ground, gasping for breath.
Well, is it true that saving a life earns more good karma than building a seven-story pagoda?
Did good karma really come so quickly?!
After catching his breath, Luo Ji propped himself up with one hand and sat cross-legged.
With immense nervousness, after taking several deep breaths, he quickly looked into his system backpack.
It was there!
Inside the Gold Treasure Chest, the item universally acknowledged as the best, now lay quietly in his backpack slot!!!
The hand he raised was still trembling slightly from overwhelming excitement.
Taking another deep breath, Luo Ji carefully took the World Fragment out of his backpack and held it in his hand…
No, using the word ‘held’ might not be accurate, because the World Fragment was completely floating in his palm.
Luo Ji tried to stare at this seemingly unremarkable World Fragment, but each attempt made him feel extremely strange.
It was as if something was distorting his vision.
No matter how he tried, all that appeared before his eyes was an endless void…
“Should I use it now?”
Use it immediately, or wait a bit longer?
Luo Ji was unsure.
With a slightly trembling finger, he tapped the World Fragment, bringing up the description interface.
[World Fragment: This is a magical little fragment…]
“…”
Well, that was a truly irresponsible description.
If Luo Ji hadn’t already known the general function of this World Fragment, a novice player wouldn’t get any useful information from this item description at all.
Ask Gao Su?
He had no such intention.
This was an item that anyone would covet!
Luo Ji understood the principle that an innocent man is guilty because of his treasure.
This was also the main reason for his hesitation.
As a new player, he was still too weak.
Using a World Fragment at this time to develop his civilization towards a special civilization could attract encirclement from other players, or even direct targeting by powerful figures.
The situation seemed utterly terrible no matter how he thought about it.
Thinking of this, Luo Ji inevitably fell into a dilemma as he looked at the confirmation window for using the item.
He had always been a typical ‘whimsical’ player when it came to games, but this game wasn’t that simple, or rather, his stance had changed.
When a person clearly realizes that a single misstep could bring irreparable consequences to the citizens of their entire civilization, they can no longer live as they please, following their own desires as before.
“Hoo—”
He involuntarily took deep breaths, adjusting his state and weighing the pros and cons in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that after his luck exploded and he drew the rarest item, he had instead pushed himself to the edge of a cliff…
Luo Ji believed that even the rarest gold-grade blueprint wouldn’t be enough to cause a big stir among high-tier big shots.
Those who reached that position would surely have several gold-grade blueprints in hand, perhaps even dozens or scores.
It’s just that these gold-grade items rarely circulated in the market and auction houses.
Everyone either kept them for themselves or traded them privately, like when Luo Ji traded the Elixir of Immortality to Zhong Mo.
These things were done quietly, who doesn’t understand the saying, “The nail that sticks out gets hammered down?”
But a World Fragment was different.
This was an item that could drive players of this game into a frenzy!
It was also a hot potato, whether held onto or used immediately, it would bring incalculable consequences.
He pulled his hair forcefully.
Just as he was agonizing over this, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the tent…
“Chief, scout team leader Liu Chuan requests an audience!”
With this report, Luo Ji’s previously intense focus momentarily wavered.
He subconsciously looked towards the outside of the tent.
As he made this slight turning motion, his unconsciously floating hand accidentally tapped the screen…
[System Notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for successfully using ‘World Fragment’]
Upon hearing the system notification, he froze on the spot.
Perhaps it was a case of things turning into their opposite, but at this moment, Luo Ji didn’t shout.
He was surprisingly quiet.
Then, he hugged his knees, and with a “thump,” he rolled onto the ground…
“Heh, heheh… what have I done…”
“Uh, that, Chief?”
Liu Chuan, who had come to report, didn’t know what to say as he watched Luo Ji curled up and rolling around in the tent.
“Oh, Liu Chuan, what is it?”
Maintaining his curled-up posture, Luo Ji asked weakly.
“You called me to report back on the copper mine situation periodically, Chief…”
Liu Chuan’s tone was a bit uncertain.
After all, in his mind, their Chief had always been full of wisdom
Luo Ji couldn’t possibly forget things, so did that mean he had mistaken the reporting day?
However, as Liu Chuan was thinking this, Luo Ji, who had been rolling around after being overly disheartened, finally perked up a bit.
“I remember now, that’s right.”
“Tell me, how’s that kid Guo Jia doing?”
Without delay, Liu Chuan reported everything to Luo Ji, from Guo Jia’s ambush attempt and its failure to all his recent actions.
However, he added his own opinion at the end.
“But Chief, I think he actually did quite well. Most of the mistakes were due to the inexperience of the few new recruits in the team.”
“Not bad, huh?”
Luo Ji muttered.
“An excellent strategist should consider the possibility of new recruits making mistakes. His biggest mistake was not making back up preparations, so when one part went wrong, he didn’t even have a chance to salvage or adjust.”
“Should I tell him that?”
“No need.”
Luo Ji shook his head.
“He’ll figure it out himself. As for that tribe, tell Guo Jia not to rush, and to take his time.”
“In a few days, the outsiders might attack again.”
“During that time, you all should stay there and not return.”
“It would be troublesome if you ran into the outsiders.”
