Copying the Laboratory, and the Power of Game Characters!

The Golden Ring seems to be working.

Its appearance immediately caught Gao Linzhi's attention.

The next moment, he stood right in front of the ring.

"This is?"

In Gao Linzhi's eyes, the Golden Ring presented a tremendous temptation.

[Dark Gold Quality * Stone of Jordan]

[Add 1 level to all class skills]

[Beginner to Intermediate, Intermediate to Advanced, Advanced to Expert Level, Expert Level to Master Level, Master Level to Grandmaster Level]

I'm going to take the test!

Gao Linzhi only wanted to say these two words.

He's going to be defeated by it.

He had dismantled the laboratory into pieces, but none of the items could match the allure of the Golden Ring before him.

Wait a minute, he suddenly realized that the name of the ring looked strangely familiar.

Isn't this the unique ring from Diablo 2, the Single Player Game I used to play?

And at this time...

Many of the lab workers were huddled to the side, trembling with fear.

Some people are clearly just brutes, so Gao Linzhi didn't make things difficult for them.

He only turned those who were clearly corrupted and evil into puppets.

The way these people looked at Gao Linzhi changed from greedy to clear-headed, and they didn't know what had happened.

That gold ring is very expensive, but it can be made from just a little bit of gold.

Which piece of equipment here isn't a hundred times more expensive than its equivalent weight of gold?

Yes, that's how expensive it is.

But why was Gao Linzhi so fascinated by a gold ring?

But why are you now sober?

This was naturally Gao Linzhi's observation of the flaw.

It's impossible for Diablo game equipment from another timeline to appear in this Skyfall Game.

This means it's a figment of one's imagination.

The most powerful ring in your mind will become the gold ring you envision.

Similar to the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

In Gao Linzhi's memory, the Stone of Jordan was the most powerful ring he had ever seen with his own eyes—only on a computer screen.

He had only seen the other rings in jewelry stores; they weren't particularly impressive.

As for the various powerful rings in the novel, he had never seen them.

So after he got the ring, he continued to plunder the laboratories.

"The messenger doesn't seem to have been affected?" Ouyang Jing asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Not bad, not bad, this man certainly has something." The Woman in White looked at Gao Linzhi with increasing admiration.

"But..."

"Don't worry, he's still too young and doesn't know the complexities of this world." The White-robed Woman confidently tossed out another jade talisman.

It was a high-level sealing talisman that directly sealed a person's consciousness, causing their thinking to stagnate.

In short, even if you had immortality and the ability to resurrect, it would be useless.

Faced with such power, one will only suffer endless torment.

The jade talisman seemed to have a built-in tracker, directly chasing after Gao Linzhi.

Gao Linzhi immediately realized the threat.

He tried his best to avoid it.

However, the jade talisman suddenly shattered, releasing countless tiny talismans.

It looked exactly like a multi-stage warhead.

It completely enveloped Gao Linzhi.

The next moment, his Game Character froze.

"Now you can't move, can you?"

Gao Linzhi took a deep breath.

His consciousness withdrew from the Game Character and returned to his physical body.

It must be said, this high-level Divine Forbidden Zone is indeed formidable.

If he didn't have a unique identity, any other player would have been arrested dozens of times already.

No wonder no player has revealed its existence; it seems that anyone who discovered it has been arrested.

At this very moment.

The laboratory was empty.

The White-robed Woman, along with the few remaining people, stared blankly at Gao Linzhi's Game Character.

"Strange, it's as if he's lost consciousness." The White-robed Woman stepped forward and poked him.

The other party simply disappeared.

Yes, to put it simply, it's just a bunch of game data. Once the players log off, the data naturally disappears.

The White-robed Woman was stunned for a moment, then her eyes revealed three parts horror, three parts confusion, and four parts surprise.

But these expressions were quickly overshadowed.

"Classify this person's unusual behavior as an S-Class File."

"Yes, messenger."

Ouyang Jing quickly agreed.

She then looked at the survivors, her eyes showing displeasure, because these people hadn't done much.

This made her very angry.

"Forget it, these people are nothing but cattle and horses."

Why should cattle and horses suffer as they do?

"Let's not hold these people accountable," the White-robed Woman said casually.

Everyone was deeply grateful, but of course they dared not say it aloud.

Actually, this was because the White-robed Woman was thinking about her past.

These people should be grateful that she too had been a beast of burden.

Therefore, she wouldn't make things difficult for these cattle and horses.

In contrast, Director Ouyang is not like that.

The other party has always been pampered and spoiled.

The father was the player's son who married a local princess.

He came from a wealthy and influential family and lived a very long and prosperous life.

Only someone like that would have the audacity to explore the unknown.

After thinking about this, she looked at Ouyang Jing again, and her eyes showed a hint of disgust.

However, no one should lie to anyone else.

At this very moment.

Gao Linzhi is back online.

Sure enough, the Game Character reappeared in an inn on the Capital Island.

He chose to log off and use the game item Reset Talisman to reset his spawn point.

It's fair to say that he could become the richest man simply by virtue of these in-game store items.

However, there are daily purchase limits on items in the game's in-game store.

Moreover, the functionality isn't too outrageous.

There's still some consideration for game balance.

After he logged back in, he appeared on Wolf Snake Island.

He has successfully obtained the corresponding technology from the Tower Laboratory.

After his recent ransacking, he didn't just take equipment; he also seized a lot of documents and files.

There were also a large number of experimental personnel who were turned into puppets by him.

These are the true treasures.

After he leaves, he can build the same laboratory exactly as before.

He's doing that now.

At this very moment.

That tall tower is now deserted and empty.

Ouyang Jing, the White-robed Woman, and the rest of the people were all moved away.

After Gao Linzhi demolished the place, only one door remained inside the entire tower, and it was intact.

This was all thanks to Gao Linzhi not storming out.

At that moment, one face after another appeared on the door.

After they appeared, they laughed, and then disappeared while laughing.

Their resentment seemed to have been released.

Gao Linzhi's actions were exactly what they had never been able to do before, and what they had always wanted to do.

There was a time when they were confined to the operating table, forced to watch helplessly as they were infected by strange entities and subjected to various forms of research.

How they wished for divine power to descend from the heavens and kill these people completely!

But they couldn't do it.

They could only die filled with immense frustration and resentment.

If Gao Linzhi were to reappear at this moment, he would understand that these people were all players or natives who had died in this laboratory.

Ouyang Jing is a typical example of someone who is intelligent but uses that intelligence to do evil.

Such people have long lost their conscience and kindness, leaving only indifference and alienation.

When they look at their own kind, they only see value parameters, not conscience and feelings.

Gao Linzhi, of course, didn't think about the final fate of that tower.

He was simply planning to replicate a tall laboratory, a legitimate one, one with proper standards.

This is real life, real existence.

No one will stop for your resentment.

Gao Linzhi called Xu Gou over.

He dumped all the materials he had brought onto the stone floor of the Council Hall.

"Go and build me a laboratory exactly like this."

"Me?" Xu Gou looked at the massive amount of research data and felt a sense of insecurity for the first time.

He can work hard at everything else, but he just can't do experiments.

"Don't worry, researchers are often viewed through a lens of sophistication. They're not as glamorous as people think. 99% of them are just data experimenters."

"Therefore, the wages the boss pays them aren't much higher, not even as much as those of migrant workers in large factories."

"Because they themselves understand the level of their technology."

"Those technical skills can be acquired with some training."

"The truly remarkable ones are the geniuses who find the direction and determine that the direction is feasible; the geniuses who can solve key and core problems in a flash of inspiration are the most difficult to replicate in the scientific community."

Gao Linzhi said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Gou immediately understood.

The boss wants to absorb and utilize the Golden Rank's Talent Stone.

A boss is a boss.

You found how to use it so quickly.

Moreover, based on these materials and related resources, it is entirely possible to replicate it at a 1:1 scale.

"Okay, boss, I'll get right on it."

"By the way, be careful of the white mist in those materials; it's a key component of the experiment."

"Actually, it's a monster, but it's been banned."

Gao Linzhi gave a reminder.

"Understood, boss."

Gao Linzhi was very satisfied; this was one of the benefits of being the head of a power.

Although there are often problems, there's always someone to handle things when there's something to be done.

Although the results are often unsatisfactory, at least some problems can be solved.

What followed was unremarkable.

Xu Gou was busy until late at night every day, starting with recruiting staff.

Especially those top scientists.

What attracts them is the player qualification.

Where do player qualifications come from?

Of course, it was leaked from the Xu Clan and Liang Clan families before.

They never imagined that all of this would now belong to Gao Linzhi.

One after another, top scientists quickly succumbed to the challenge of qualifying for the game.

For them, this is the most promising research path, bar none.

In fact, large companies have already snapped up all the top scientists.

But scientists, in modern times, are simply overcrowded...

Even PhD holders are finding it difficult to find good jobs.

Only those PhDs who have inspiration and the ability to solve big problems become highly sought-after in the scientific community.

As for Xu Gou's abilities, it's naturally difficult to find someone with top-tier skills; one can only find someone with slightly lesser abilities.

Fortunately, there are many at the next level as well.

They seem so numerous that large companies wouldn't even bother with them.

This is the power of modern companies: they can produce talent in large numbers, and always produce many outstanding individuals.

There's a saying that goes, "Only when a top student reaches the top spot do they realize that the gap between them and their opponent is greater than the gap between a human and an animal."

And it's produced every year.

The company still has a high regard for brilliant scientists.

After all, they have no military force, only intelligence, and modern corporate systems are very willing to cultivate such talent.

They produce high-value products, yet they pose no threat to themselves.

It's arguably the best to use.

This is far superior to those players.

Furthermore, once scientists become players, they don't pursue combat power, but rather an intelligence-based profession.

However, people are aware of how terrible intellectual professions can become in the later stages.

But now this point is being deliberately ignored.

After finding enough people, Xu Gou began to gather the corresponding players and start building the corresponding laboratory in East Wolf Village.

It's not a tall tower, but an underground laboratory.

This fully incorporates ideas from a certain root laboratory.

The reason is simple: don't make yourself the target.

Underground laboratories can be built very quickly for players who already have advanced or even Expert Level professions.

Mineral prospectors and drilling engineers could help him build this underground laboratory.

Within just ten days, a solid underground site was completed.

It is located directly below the ancestral hall.

In case of trouble, one can take the elevator directly into the ancestral hall to receive ancestral protection and ward off strange occurrences.

This convenience is so great that it can be said to be a power held by the Great Elder.

Ordinary people shouldn't even even consider it.

Getting even close is impossible, let alone digging a tunnel underneath to build it.

Impossible. The mere claim of "disrupting ancestral feng shui" is enough to kill someone.

After making some initial progress, Xu Gou took the report to Gao Linzhi:

"Boss, it seems we still need to bring in a lot of new technology equipment from offline channels."

"Based on the supplies you provided, much of the equipment here is outdated."

"The parameters are much worse than the latest ones. For example, in terms of computing power, it is hundreds of times, or even several orders of magnitude, worse."

Gao Linzhi nodded.

This is also why Ouyang Jing admired and longed for the offline world.

The offline world, as a company system, is the true world where technology reigns supreme.

Truly favor those with exceptional intelligence.

Before the advent of the Skyfall Game, highly intelligent individuals were always a boon to the company.

Controlling an intellectual genius only requires a noblewoman.

The value that the other party can generate could be equivalent to that of a company worth trillions or hundreds of billions.

"You guys do a good job."

"But we're facing a problem now: some large devices can't be accommodated in our Game Backpack," Xu Gou said, sounding troubled.

What equipment?

"These are some large, high-precision CNC lathes, used to specially customize related experimental tools. They need to be customized in real time and improved on-site, so we need to bring them in."

"Okay, I'll go check it out."

Gao Linzhi used another game prop to allow this large-scale equipment to be brought into the Skyfall Game world.

The reason you can't Game Backpack is because a hidden attribute is active: overweight.

Many games have this design: the backpack slots seem infinite, but the character's carrying capacity is limited.

This is to prevent players from using unlimited weight capacity to pack up and take away a lot of items.

This can lead to some inexplicable bugs.

For example, someone might package an entire mountain.

Someone bought a whole river.

Adding a weight limit would solve these problems.
