Cemetery in the suburbs of Beijing.

A newly engraved grave, a young man in black standing straight.

The pouring rain fell like a pillar, splashing on the ground and countless raindrops jumped up. Then the raindrops fell back and made a ticking sound. The young man in black had been standing in front of the grave for a long time. The chrysanthemums placed in front of the monument were golden. The pouring rain water poured on it, causing layers of fog to gradually surround the chrysanthemums.

When Chen Nianzu learned about Old Man Chen’s address from the old village chief, he got off the game and ran out of the dormitory. The sadness and anger in the game were all brought to reality.

Old Man Chen was lying quietly in the game cabin. This game cabin was just the cheapest. The line linked to Old Man Chen's mind was still working, and he did not realize that this ordinary old man had accomplished an amazing innovation in the game.

The doctor rushed over and left quickly. When he left, he said numbly: "He has liver cancer, advanced stage, but he has not taken good care of his health. He still has to play games at such an old age." The doctor has to face countless patients every day. Such seemingly ordinary death is normal in his subconscious mind. He said to his assistant beside him: "Notify the funeral home, the death time is around 2 a.m.."

Old Man Chen did not leave any last words. He had already explained everything he wanted to say in the game, so the doctor just made a logical diagnosis, advanced liver cancer, obsessed with games, and brain death.

But Chen Nianzu knew that all this was not that simple, and probably speculated why Old Man Chen insisted on becoming a game NPC during his critical illness, because he couldn't bear to leave that piece of black iron! Just the death of the game can affect reality? However, countless players die every day in the game, why didn't this happen? The Xuan Iron that Old Man Chen was thinking about before his death was really a product of the game, or was brought from reality? What does Old Man Chen mean by the saying "I turned into data, Black Iron is not an ordinary thing, and it was not able to become a piece of data in the end" mean?

Consciousness becomes data, and the body still exists in reality. Death in the game leads to the death of the body that exists in reality. Can it be understood this way? The old village chief seems to know everything about Old Man Chen and knows the specific address. He should be a friend in reality, but he did not appear when Old Man Chen was buried. Why is this? Is it because consciousness becomes data and cannot come to send him to his last journey in person?

There are many doubts tangled in Chen Nianzu's mind. Chen Nianzu himself is not a normal person, because he has two lifetime memories. The inferred things are shocking, but it is not impossible.

"You can go with peace of mind." Chen Nianzu looked at the tomb that Old Man Chen had booked a year ago. The dead grass beside him shivered in the cold wind. Only the newly engraved monument showed that an ordinary old man was added here.

"The Black Iron Mission!" Chen Nianzu slowly clenched his fists and looked up at the rainfall like a pillar. "I will surprise those who are hiding behind the scenes."

The next day, in the game, the novice village blacksmith shop.

"Follow me and go to Zhuque City." The old village chief once again left his post and appeared in the blacksmith shop, looking at the young man who was stroking Xuan Tie and silently.

"Your second chain mission has been completed. The following is to find Wannian Han Ice. This process may be very long. I don't want you to continue to be silent here." The old village chief sighed and continued: "Besides, finding Wannian Han Ice is also the wish of Old Man Chen. Since the Xuan Iron is a bit far behind, Old Man Chen, as the original owner of this Xuan Iron, you also want to find out what happened in the middle."

So far, Chen Nianzu is sure that this black iron was selected for some reason, or that Old Man Chen had to transform into data and appeared in the game to continue to protect the black iron, and the black iron was made into a large world plot. Although the old village chief knew Old Man Chen, what he knew about this task was just the first three chains, 30,000 pheasants who triggered the task, created 50 skills, and searched for the ten thousand years of ice.

Each link seems to have no connection, but it has a close relationship. The first link tests a person's patience and persistence, and the second link tests whether a person's mind can complete seemingly unfinished tasks. Without the inheritance of Old Man Chen, it is absolutely impossible to improve his skills in just three months. The third link officially enters the task and obtains the legendary ten thousand-year ice with the ability of a single person.

The difficult and long tasks are built on Xuantien. If the first two chains of the task are to select people, it is better to choose a guardian for Xuantien who has extremely strong perseverance in all aspects.

"I'll go with you." Chen Nianzu picked up the black iron that was only long on the keyboard but was very terrifying. Looking at the familiar blacksmith shop, Old Man Chen whispered and scolded his appearance as if it was reappearing, "I will come back when the truth comes out."

The old village chief sighed and made a cheating task for the sake of Old Man Chen's choice and his own desire to add icing on the cake for his career. Then Old Man Chen opened a corner of the truth for Chen Nianzu at the cost of sacrificing himself...

Everything created a young man who was unyielding to find the truth. His face was beaten up yesterday and was twitching. The old village chief quietly glanced at Chen Nianzu, his heart was beating wildly, and he felt a sense of eagerness to know the whole thing. It was like a naughty child secretly searching for a lost puppy in order to hide his parents. The feeling of being so refreshed after the truth was revealed poured through the old village chief's entire body.

"Hope..." The old village chief was worried about gains and losses.

"I know you have an irresolvable hatred with the Wild Wolf Lord. I came here to find you this time to let you safely walk out of the barren land and go to Zhuque City." Seeing that Chen Nianzu had no response, the old village chief could only continue saying: "I work in Zhuque City, but we should not meet in the future. You know that this was done against my conscience and without my own knowledge. I don't know if this is right..."

"Okay." Chen Nianzu wrapped the whole piece of black iron in a piece of coarse cloth linen, and finally looked up, but the expression of anger on his face still shocked the old village chief. What kind of expression is this? There is signs of an outbreak in his indifference, and there is anger hidden in his blank eyes. This is simply a time bomb!

The players who trigger missions in other regions are not excited, but the young man who already knows something and smells a slightest sense of danger and conspiracy is completely in a state of being able to find out the truth without any means.

I'm in a negative state, I hope I won't cause any big disasters anymore, otherwise I won't even have the chance to escape from the bedding...
