Chapter 418: Reversing Time Flow?
Chapter 418: Reversing Time Flow?
Using the Insight spell, Su Yu could clearly see the attribute panel of the colossal golden hourglass:
Time Manager (Main Plane, Evolution Plane)
Level: ???
Occupation: Time ???
Attributes: ???
Description: Special envoy of the ???. The primary task is to balance the time flow between the two planes.
This was all the information he could gather, with many details obscured by layers of "???".
Su Yu sighed and turned to look at Tina, Aijie, and the kitten Morning Star in Aijie's arms.
The two women and the kitten had also used a similar Insight spell to examine the golden hourglass, but they all shook their heads in confusion, seemingly finding nothing of great value.
Bernelle tilted her head back, crossed her hands behind her, and gazed up at the massive golden hourglass, saying slowly:
"Don't be fooled by its appearance; it is indeed a living being."
"The spirit within it isn't artificially created but has evolved on its own. It has its own logic and can think independently. In a sense, it possesses the characteristics of a living being, not just an object."
Hearing Bernelle's words, Su Yu nodded thoughtfully.
He understood her point: just like how a robot can be considered a living being if it can think independently or reproduce autonomously.
Tina, Aijie, and Morning Star, however, were completely lost, their faces a mix of confusion and awe.
Tina rubbed her aching head, took a few steps forward, and wrapped her arm around Bernelle's, asking flatteringly, "Ancestor, how do you plan to patch the time flow between the two worlds?"
Hearing Tina's question, Su Yu and Aijie immediately showed concern, as this was something they were very interested in as well.
Bernelle smiled slightly and gazed at the golden hourglass, saying slowly:
"Before we talk about the patch, you need to understand one thing: the time flow in the game is currently 12 times faster than in the real world, and it is particularly uneven. Sometimes it speeds up, and sometimes it slows down. You must have noticed this, right?"
Aijie and Tina exchanged glances and nodded in unison.
Aijie said seriously, "That's true. The time flow is indeed uneven, and the difference is quite noticeable."
"If I'm with Kexing or other interdimensional adventurers, the time passes much faster, and days fly by. But if I'm alone, the day seems to drag on, even longer than when there were no interdimensional adventurers in the world during my childhood."
Tina nodded in agreement. "Yes, I've had the same experience."
When she was with Kexing, time used to pass so quickly that she often didn't have enough time to finish her chess strategy sessions before the night was over.
Bernelle smiled calmly and said, "This is actually a 'compensatory effect.' Time shortens when the natives are with interdimensional adventurers and stretches when they are away from them. The entire world is in a dynamic balance because of this, causing significant distress in many regions."
"Especially my avatar, the Village Chief. Since he spends almost all his time with adventurers, I once locked him in a small room for a night, and when he came out the next morning, he said it felt like he had been in there for a whole year."
Bernelle turned to Su Yu and the others, who were now stunned. "Never mind, I won't explain too much. You wouldn't understand even if I did."
"Let me put it this way, I want to apply a patch to the time flow, flipping the time flow between the two worlds!"
"Flipping?" Su Yu, Tina, and Alyssa exclaimed in unison.
This was a massive move! Could something as fundamental as "time flow" be drastically altered? And what would the world look like after the flip?
Su Yu quickly asked, "Lady Bernina, if the time flow between the two worlds is flipped, what kind of impact will it have on the world?"
Tina and Alyssa also looked at Bernina with serious expressions. Even Morningstar, the cat perched on Alyssa's shoulder, meowed and pulled out a bag of beef jerky from her storage space.
Bernina's words had left her cat deeply shaken, and she needed to chew on some beef jerky to calm herself down.
Bernina smiled, about to answer, but then she saw the beef jerky in Morningstar's paw. In a flash, she was beside the cat, snatching the jerky away.
With the cat's wide-eyed shock, she munched happily and began to explain, "Speaking of the impact of flipping the time flow, we need to consider two groups of people. The first group is the natives."
Bernina glanced at Alyssa and Tina. "After the time flow is flipped, the natives will no longer experience the fluctuating time flow. Instead, time will return to its steady, constant pace, as it was before the arrival of the interworld adventurers."
Alyssa and Tina exchanged a glance.
Alyssa nodded cautiously, "That sounds good."
Bernina turned to Su Yu, "As for the second group, that would be you, the interworld adventurers."
"Flipping the time flow means reversing the current time flow by 180 degrees."
"After the time flow is flipped, the time you spend in the game world will be significantly extended. For every hour you spend in the game, only five minutes will pass in the real world. In other words, your game time will be twelve times longer!"
"Of course, the rewards you earn from killing monsters in the game will also decrease by a factor of twelve. You won't be able to level up dozens of times in a single day anymore."
"However, with such ample time, you can spend more time exploring the world, finding treasures, and honing your skills, which will be much more beneficial for improving your strength."
"Is that so?" Su Yu was deeply stunned.
If what Bernina said was true, this would be a monumental change for humanity!
With the time flow flipped, players would spend twelve times longer in the game world! Although the rewards would decrease, as Bernina mentioned, players could explore the map more thoroughly, seek out treasures, and practice their skills, with much more time to spare!
For Su Yu, this meant he could spend more time learning spells and finding treasures he knew about from his past life but never had the time to pursue.
But the most crucial point was that many scientists and high-ranking officials were working overtime, trying to make the most of every second to combat the Skrulls.
If the time flow was reversed, they could enter the game to plan strategies, develop schemes, and even bring some experimental projects into the game.
This would effectively buy humanity a significant amount of precious time!
With this realization, Su Yu made up his mind. He had to find a way to help Bernina complete the time flow reversal.
The significance of this for humanity was immense!
