Chapter 2593: The First Step to Seizing Permission Level

After deliberating repeatedly for a long time, Xia Duo finally decided to obtain the Permission Level through an intrusion; regardless of the method, the most important thing he needed to do was avoid coming face-to-face with any potential Maintainer!

Using the method for obtaining Permission Level recorded in the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll was almost equivalent to pinning his hopes on an ancient Elf he knew absolutely nothing about.

Rather than that, he would rather choose to trust himself!

If the Maintainer was well-intentioned, then no matter what means he used, it would not be excessive for a person of later generations; after all, so much time had passed, and he was now an archaeological discovery, not a true intruder.

Furthermore, this avatar of his appeared in the form of an Elf and had no connection to his true body; at worst, he would just discard this avatar.

And if the Maintainer had harbored malicious intent from the start, then it was even more necessary to use an intrusion to obtain the Permission Level; at least at the beginning, the situation would be entirely in his own hands, and he had to find a way to seize some initiative.

……

After making up his mind, Xia Duo immediately began to take action.

He re-invested the majority of his consciousness into this avatar, while his true body retained only the consciousness capable of Spellcasting to control the brain, providing remote computational support for the avatar's actions.

Outside the plaza in front of the Midi Core Area palace, at the edge of the Jieti.

Seeing that scene, Xia Shao felt a surge of joy in his heart; through that probing, he had confirmed the Jieti update cycle, which had a large discrepancy with the update cycle he had judged afterward.

To attempt to seize the Mythallar Permission, one must link to known open interfaces, just like a hacker seizing the permission of a computer, one must always form a wired or wireless link with the target.

Seeing that scene, Xia Shao finally let out a sigh of relief; this was not his first attempt, but the result of many attempts, and that so-called falling dust was not falling naturally.

This was a process of seizing the Permission Level bit by bit, and also a process of understanding this Mythallar bit by bit. Moreover, this was no small matter; any move he made now could potentially affect the future of the Main Plane, so even though he had made up his mind, he had to act with caution.

……

But now it was clearly not a normal situation; Xia Shao simply controlled another speck of dust, and when the target speck fell to a certain height, he gently bumped it.

At the same time, he also used those interfaces already confirmed to be real to disguise the operation of seizing the Permission Level as a natural change in the Mythallar to conduct further probing.

After observing two of the hypothesized Jieti update cycles in succession, Xia Shao frowned slightly; although the Mythallar in this Midi possessed a similar style to the Elven Mythallar present in the Main Plane, overall it was still more exquisite.

Moreover, he was not blindly selecting interfaces, but first using some abnormal impacts to probe the Protection Jieti still operating in the Core Area.

This was an excellent entry point, and at the same time, it could verify whether the access interface provided by the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll was real. Of course, regardless of whether it was true or false, Xia Shao had decided to use his own method anyway.

Xia Duo's expression was solemn; although he had personally participated in many Mythallar offensive and defensive competitions in the Red Heart Alliance Projection Plane, regardless of the world, this was still his first time in actual combat.

The Jieti update was his opportunity; at that time, the Mythallar would show changes involving core functions, because the Jieti in this area was an existence that had been maintained for countless years by the Mythallar, and it was absolutely the core of the core.

And standing here now, how could it be such a coincidence that what he wanted would appear just when he wanted it?

Not to mention the choice of position, so artificially creating the falling dust was now more controllable; he could get almost any state he wanted.

It was not until Xia Duo tried to guide a beam of Element Turbulence to impact the Jieti that the "good old man" finally could not hold back; the area receiving the elemental impact flashed with spiritual light, actually completely dissipating that beam of Element Turbulence.

Consequently, the movement trend of the target dust changed; it was originally falling slowly and normally, but now it swayed left and right, as if it were drunk.

Previously, he had judged that the Jieti was very likely reverting to its initial state every moment; now, through its reaction to the elemental impact, he observed Mythallar changes different from before.

Combining the two, after nearly a hundred attempts, he finally discovered an open interface that had a significant connection to the Mythallar core, which was also an interface mentioned in the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll.

And that speck of dust that entered the Jieti range, just as Xia Shao had thought, fell very naturally onto the plaza ground within the Jieti's coverage area, without causing any disturbance.

Comparing the two, he confirmed that the Jieti update cycle was approximately one hundred seconds; in other words, as long as the Jieti could not be destroyed within one hundred seconds, it would return to its initial, intact state.

At first, he had indeed prepared to use naturally falling dust as a probing medium, but he got stuck at the first step; don't look at the fact that there was a finger-thick layer of dust in this passage, that was the result of countless years of accumulation.

……

Very quickly, Xia Shao locked onto a tiny speck of dust slowly falling from the top of the passage where he was currently located; under normal circumstances, this speck of dust would not fall into the passage, let alone the plaza ahead.

Next, he increased his actions; from the initial dust intrusion to the intrusion of slightly larger sand grains, the Jieti never showed the slightest disturbance, tolerating it completely like a good old man.

This discovery did not make Xia Shao feel surprised, because even if the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll was a trap, those interfaces could not all be fake; mixing truth with falsehood made it even harder to judge.

Of course, what Xia Shao wanted was not to destroy the Jieti, but to seize the Mythallar Permission; he was very clear about his goal.

Finally, near the ground, perhaps because some external factors had changed again, the target dust suddenly drifted significantly and veered into the Jieti range.

As for the present, Xia Shao linking to the Midi Mythallar open interface was also something he had to do, but the portion of open interfaces already detected included some interfaces for obtaining Permission Level mentioned in the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll.

If even this step did not exist, then no matter how brilliant a hacker was, they would be powerless, or they would have to act as a thug and seize it physically, which was clearly impractical.

But now, he had already found an interface he believed to be real, and the rest of the matter would fall into place; it was nothing more than continuing to probe and finding more interfaces.

If Xia Shao only wanted to enter the Jieti range, then this discovery was enough for him to realize that idea, but now his goal was to seize the Mythallar Permission, which required more intense actions sufficient to trigger changes in the Mythallar or Jieti.

Even with the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll as a reference, it was still very difficult to determine the open interface corresponding to the core functions of this Mythallar under a low-maintenance state.

These were instead things he needed to avoid as much as possible; although this might fall into another layer of traps, one could never know everything, and one must always have determination and make trade-offs.

Thus, while observing the Jieti update, he continued to probe the Jieti, thereby determining a more precise Jieti update cycle.
