Chapter 64: Are you blacking me? (Second Update)

Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.

Duan Xing looked at the player clan members who were hunting evil spirits in the distance, and the doubts in his heart increased instead during these days of observation.

In order to investigate this ancient force that calls itself the player clan, he secretly observed and followed for a long time, and finally reached an outrageous conclusion.

The player clan's clan land is likely established in the outer world.

It was found during the observation that the locations where player clan members appeared were on the edge of the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.

This area he cannot penetrate, and it is highly likely to be the world barrier of the Monster World blocking the outer world.

From this, it can be concluded that the player clan, which fell into a deep sleep in ancient times, came from the outer world, and may even have returned from other plane worlds.

He has not been to the outer world, but he has also learned about it.

According to the combat instructor of the Anti-Tide Classroom, one of the new forces that have risen in the last two hundred years, the "Immortal Clan," is an outer world force.

Their homeland was corroded and destroyed by the black tide, and the remaining clansmen descended into the Monster World before the world collapsed, joining forces with multiple ethnic forces that had the same encounter to establish a powerful legion to fight against the black tide.

The situation of the player clan is exactly the opposite.

They retreated to the outer world during the most fierce stage of the black tide eruption, and only recently woke up and returned, trying to reignite the fire of Emperor Zhao.

But he does not doubt the loyalty of the players.

It can be seen from the player clan's continuous hunting of evil spirits that their hatred for evil spirits is no less than his own. When they see evil spirits, they will inevitably break out in battle with them, even if they are not as strong as them, they will fight to the death.

There must be a reason for avoiding the war back then.

Secondly, the thinking logic of the player clan is significantly different from the way he thinks about problems.

This point also very much conforms to the characteristics of ancient forces, having completely different values from the life they were born in this era.

But there is only one point that makes him puzzled.

The way the player clan enters the Monster World is not a whole clan relocation, but successively passing through the world barrier to descend, and then wandering in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range area to find evil spirits to fight.

The feeling it gives him is that the player clan is relaying to die, without any tactical layout.

Compared with other ethnic forces in the Monster World, the player clan simply cannot be described as weak; they can only barely fight with unintelligent evil spirits, and wanting to win is very difficult.

But the player clan is not useless.

Through observation these days, he found that the player clan has huge growth potential.

The growth speed of several player clan members he specifically observed really made him feel incredible.

From initially being able to barely kill a blood corpse by working together, to now being able to kill a blood corpse alone, it only took a week to complete a leap-forward growth in strength.

For example, the player clan member he bestowed the Heavenly Talisman Combat Skill, he actually understood the usage of the Heavenly Talisman Combat Skill in a very short time and was already able to easily ingest heaven and earth spiritual energy to temper his flesh and blood.

This terrifying learning and progress speed, he had never seen before.

His understanding is that the long deep sleep caused the strength of the player clan members to plummet, and they can gradually restore the lost power through fighting.

Secondly, it is the ability of the player clan members.

They can change into various forms of monsters, different forms can release different ability characteristics, and some abilities even let him see the shadow of rule characteristics.

This discovery made Duan Xing more determined in his thoughts.

If possible, he hopes to incorporate the player clan into the Anti-Tide Legion, making them one of the many forces in the Anti-Tide Legion.

It is said that the Anti-Tide Legion's garrison in the Great North Border has incorporated a force from the outer world, which fights bravely and has extremely strong strength, and is already one of the strongest Anti-Tide branch legions in the Great North Border area.

This idea took root in Duan Xing's mind, believing that incorporating the player clan could bring assistance to the development of the Anti-Tide Legion.

But the unsolvable problem is how he should establish contact with the trial supervisor "Elder You."

Having lost the shuttle, he was cut off from the way back, and the only hope was to wait for the supervisor to take the initiative to find him.

He himself is difficult to go back, so how can he take the player clan members back together.

He couldn't help but sigh, and his gaze turned to the player clan members not far away.

Seeing them running toward him, Duan Xing decisively flew into the sky to escape.

The arrival of the player clan members obviously had no good intentions, and they would inevitably give him inexplicable things, and then ask him for various props, items, and even information stones recording combat skills.

In order to repay the life-saving grace, he had already given away many props and items he carried with him.

To this day, what else does he have to give to the players.

Unless it is this set of rune battle armor on his body.

It is certain that the player clan members will definitely dare to ask him for it with a thick skin, but he absolutely has no possibility of giving it away.

The battle armor is his father's relic and is connected to his heart. Even if he dies, he cannot take it off.

With the life-saving grace, he cannot make a move on the player clan members again, only avoidance is the best response strategy.

Source Altar.

At this time, Qi Sheng is browsing a popular post on the forum.

The content discussed in this post is related to the first-generation source monster "Mud Demon" accommodated three hours ago.

The Mud Demon's shape is like a clay polymer, which was an unexpected gain when a newbie player team was exploring near Spirit Tool Valley. Its ability characteristic name is "Dissolution."

It can cause continuous strong acid corrosion damage to contact targets by spitting mucus.

The appearance of a new soul should be a happy thing for everyone.

But the Mud Demon's shape is too ugly, and it is various disliked by forum players, and even called the most disgusting source monster. The vast majority of players believe that the Mud Demon's monster form and ability characteristics will not be purchased and embedded by players.

However, on the same day, players developed a hunting mode suitable for the "Dissolution" soul.

The player who pioneered this hunting mode also enthusiastically published his ideas and actual combat videos on the forum, and called it the trap flow tactic.

The strength of this tactic lies in the fact that it can complete cross-level hunting in a very relaxed way.

In the attached demonstration video screen.

The five-player team dug a tunnel two meters deep and more than ten meters long in the Ancient Battlefield area, and then put ordinary props such as ground thorns and torches purchased from the mall into the tunnel in turn, turning the passage into a trap passage that will be damaged as long as it moves forward.

The end of the passage is the dissolution pool spat out by players after transforming into Mud Demons.

The hunting process is very simple. One person in the team attracts several blood corpses into the passage by way of physical bait.

The player standing at the end of the passage will become the target of the blood corpse at this time.

Then it is the layout of Plants vs. Zombies.

Every step the blood corpse takes forward will be damaged, during which the four players standing at the back of the passage continue to throw fireballs in the bone fire form, increasing the damage suffered by the blood corpse.

Finally, the blood corpse falls into the pit dug in front of the player's standing area and dies in the dissolution pool.

This tactic was liked by many forum players, allowing the dissolution soul, which was originally full of bad reviews, to have a place to use. Trap flow is also the first tactic since the server opened that completes hunting without frontal combat, making many players interested in the gameplay of setting traps.

And this is exactly the content Qi Sheng wants to see.

The player's brain-hole creativity has gradually been displayed in the Monster World.

Various soul options, each of which can find practical ways to use through brain-hole matching.

Sky Wind City, Slum.

Exiting the game, the vision returned to reality from the virtual desktop.

The strong sense of weakness made Li Zheng somewhat unable to adapt, and even had the idea of logging into "Dark Land" again.

The gap between the game and reality became particularly obvious after the level was improved.

In the game, his main human form perfectly inherited the attributes of the level 24 Black Armored Snake and level 11 Force Barbarian Axe. The comprehensive attributes are 15 times the initial main form attributes, which is not an exaggeration to say it is a superman in reality.

The enhancement brought by attributes is not just the change in numbers on the panel.

His senses also underwent transformation during the level improvement, and the whole world became more vivid in perception.

For example, vision became sharper after each level-up. The once blurred long-range view is now clear at a glance, and even fine dust in the light has become particularly clear, and the color level of the world has become richer.

In terms of hearing, the sounds heard have become three-dimensional and delicate. The rustling sound of wind passing through leaves, the low roar of monsters in the distance, and even the subtle sound of fallen leaves falling on the ground can be clearly transmitted to his ears.

In terms of touch, he can perceive more detailed tactile differences through touch in the game.

Smell and taste are also the same. The fragrance and stench in the air can be accurately captured, and the taste level of the food entering the mouth is more distinct.

Importantly, the sharpening of senses is not just a physical improvement, it is also accompanied by the awakening of the spiritual level, and the individual's perception and understanding are also increasing synchronously.

The feeling it gives him is like the body merging with nature, reaching the realm of heaven and man as one that only exists in movies and novels, with wonderful feedback that cannot be experienced in reality.

This is also the reason why there is a huge sense of gap in the heart after going offline and returning to reality.

The former body was like carrying heavy shackles, but the previous self was already used to this feeling, but in the game, the body took off this heavy shackle, allowing the body's perception to be completely liberated, and both action and thinking became sharp.

But after exiting the game, this heavy shackle came back.

The vision became dim, the perception became dull, and all feedback was so bad that he felt very uncomfortable.

The game pod cover opened, and Li Zheng got up.

Entering the bathroom to wash off the nutrient solution on his body, he returned to the desk and sat down, starting to browse the recent transfer orders.

Comparing them one by one, after confirming that the sold sacrificial power had all been returned, he, who felt hungry, immediately ordered a luxury takeaway and decided to reward himself well.

Before the release of "Dark Land," someone on the Internet predicted that this game would open a new myth of wealth creation and could create a large number of new-era rich people.

Just like the Internet wave, artificial intelligence reform, digital transformation, virtual world advent, and other era waves in history, a large number of new-era leaders will emerge after the launch of Dark Land.

The speculation at that time has become a reality in the game.

The initial performance of Dark Land brought a trend of wealth redistribution. Krypton gold players in the game are willing to buy the labor of brick-moving players at high prices. This kind of transaction allows brick-moving players to convert their "labor results" in the game into real-world gains, and there is no deduction in the form of taxes.

More importantly, this game of Dark Land has changed his quality of life.

He has also decided that he will rely on this game of Dark Land for the rest of his life.

Perhaps by virtue of his first-mover advantage, he can make a career in the game.

After the takeaway was delivered, Li Zheng browsed the largest Star Network forum of the Human Federation while eating: Human Rise.

After finding the Dark Land section, the posts in the list were basically recruitment information, and few players discussed the game content.

Regarding this, Li Zheng didn't feel strange.

Every game developed by the Moon Eclipse Clan has a built-in forum, including Dark Land, which he is playing now. The forum in the game is fully functional, and there is no need to use external forums to discuss game content at all.

While browsing, the title of a post caught his attention.

[Dark Land, the biggest propaganda scam in history, although it is worth the selling price of 128,888, it is far from reaching the epoch-making game concept mentioned in the propaganda.]

Poster: Birth Certificate (ip: Yelan City)

With curiosity, Li Zheng controlled the mouse to click on the title.

The content inside made Li Zheng's eyes widen.

The poster first mentioned the problem of game fidelity,

stating that the 100% fidelity in the Moon Eclipse Clan's promotional advertisements simply cannot be achieved, and at most it can only reach 90% fidelity. Looking closely at the feedback and modeling texture of the game environment, many problems can still be seen.

Secondly, the poster mentioned the problem of Star Network feedback delay.

Stating that the loading in the game occasionally has delays and freezes, for example, after the player is suddenly teleported to a new area, what is presented in front of them is a mosaic scene, and the modeling is gradually displayed after waiting for a few seconds during loading.

There are also problems in physical performance, players can actually fly into the sky by card bug, and players will appear in the situation where characters are stuck in the map scene after continuously exiting and entering the game.

Others include interaction feedback frequency, data processing speed, and so on.

Finally, the poster concluded that the player believes that this game can beat the virtual game "Sin Land" released five years ago in all aspects, but it simply cannot reach the level of epoch-making progress, and can only be rated as excellent, but there is a large difference from the promotional advertisements.

The poster hopes that the Moon Eclipse Clan official can optimize the game content as soon as possible, stating that this game still has huge development potential, and don't be ruined by problems such as optimization.

After reading the content of the post, Li Zheng only had one thought in his mind.

The posting player was obviously stimulated by something and was completely talking nonsense.

The critical description of the game is even more outrageous, all of which are content that smears and blackens "Dark Land."

Since the server opened, he has been experiencing the game content for almost a month. Can he not know the good or bad of Dark Land?

All the problems mentioned by the poster have never been encountered by him in the game. It can be said that this game of Dark Land has reached a perfect degree that is no different from reality, and no flaws can be found in any detail.

This point has also been discussed many times in the in-game forum, and all players believe that this game has reached a level that transcends modern technology, equivalent to creating a brand-new world.

Clicking on the poster's profile, he found that his avatar is a purchase certification bill, proving that the posting player did indeed purchase and experience the game content.

But this discovery also made Li Zheng more angry, believing that the other party was making groundless rumors.

Are you blacking me?

He immediately took a screenshot of the content in this post to the Liver Emperor Group.

The Liver Emperor Group players who were discussing the group dinner activity the next day, after seeing the screenshot shared by Li Zheng, spat out fragrance one after another, saying that they wanted to go to the Human Rise forum to seek justice for Dark Land and spray this player who made rumors and blackened "Dark Land" to death.
