Chapter 689 259 Same People, Same Job, Different Fates [4400 words]_2

Ma Xiaoling: "Bro, don't! I'm just kidding! Do you want me to help you level up?"

"Heh. Didn't you see the yellow light flashing on me all the time? Step back. I'll play by myself."

Ma Xiaoling: "Alright! Take your time, sir! By the way, I really wasn't slacking off, I've been genuinely improving myself. You don't need to worry about the upcoming experiment."

Ren Zhong turned his head to look at her, thought for a moment, and raised two points, "First, don't get overconfident and always pay attention to your armor's energy reserves."

"Mhm mhm!"

"Second, don't get too bold thinking about any decapitation plans."

Ma Xiaoling: "Got it! Are you teaching me the strategy for tonight's national war?"

Ren Zhong roared, "I'm talking about the experiment when the time comes! The Mengdu Group will arrange extraordinary defensive forces around the Legion Beast, even if you're a Level Five Professional, going there will just mean giving your life away. This is a matter of life and death, don't joke with me!"

Ma Xiaoling: "Alright, alright! Is there anything else?"

"That's all for now."

After Ma Xiaoling left, Ren Zhong didn't quit the game. Instead, in the guild's territory, he opened the newbie guide of "Wilderness Era" and eagerly read the game's background story like a true newbie just entering the game.

In the last timeline, out of curiosity, Ren Zhong had asked about the origin of the guild name "Western Liang Horse Gang."

Ma Xiaoling told him that this is an allusion from the game during the "Three Kingdoms Period," from a city-state alliance that was active at that time.

At that time, a thought flashed through Ren Zhong's mind like lightning; isn't this the story of Ma Teng and Ma Chao?

Since then, he began to develop an interest in "Millennium History" and invested two billion as a sort of backup plan.

But after chatting with Xiao Xingyue about the empire's refugees and the millennium history, his interest in "Millennium History" diminished again.

Now, making a comeback, he slaughtered his way into "Wilderness Era" right from the start, yet with an additional purpose.

The role of idioms in Chinese language and literature, in a certain sense, exactly mirrors the epitome of history.

Most idioms and allusions derive from historical materials.

In daily life, each time the Chinese-speaking population uses idioms, it essentially is another round of reviewing and deepening the memory of their own racial history.

Idioms, allusions, proverbs, and colloquialisms, which encapsulate rich meanings with a small amount of words, are objectively existing intangible cultural heritage, involving the inheritance of civilization.

The vocabulary of Source Star's wilderness people is relatively sparse, but the citizens' language habits are similar to those Ren Zhong encountered in the 21st century, just without some specially meaningful phrases from historical anecdotes.

Although most citizens below Fifth Level have little opportunity to access "Millennium History," these people have still developed language habits conforming to the Chinese language culture.

Analyzed from the perspective of linguistic transmission, it's impossible for the vocabulary of lower-class citizens to materialize out of thin air; it must come from various articles, literary works, information they can access in life, and communication with higher-level citizens on certain occasions.

Ren Zhong analyzed, the source of these vocabularies and allusions must be "Millennium History."

Although he needs to win the monthly national war to see the complete version of "Millennium History," Ren Zhong speculates the background concept of the game "Wilderness Era" must be a simplified version of "Millennium History."

Thus, he changed his plan and joined the game straight away.

His primary aim was to trace the cultural attributes of Source Star citizens, while the more profound purpose was to slightly fill in and conceal his second flaw.

Even if the things he'd said before had become indelible doubts, after this intensive study, at least it could slightly weaken the suspiciousness in the future.

As he looked through it, he felt a mix of regret and hatred.

Once, there had been such a perfect opportunity to fill the gaps in his life, right in front of him, but he did not cherish it. It wasn't until a whole 112 days had passed that he discovered such a treasure.
