Chapter 70: Awkward, right? (Second update)
The Imperial Mountains.

Duan Xing looked at the members of the Wan family who were hunting evil spirits in the distance, and the doubts in his heart became more serious after observing them for these days.

In order to investigate this group of ancient forces who called themselves the Wan Clan, he secretly observed and followed them for a long time, and finally came to an outrageous conclusion.

The clan territory of the Wan clan is likely to be established in the outside world.

During observation, it was found that the place where the Wan family members appeared was on the edge of the Dizhong Mountains.

He cannot penetrate this area, which is most likely a world barrier that blocks the outside world from the monster world.

From this, we can conclude that the Wan family that fell into slumber in ancient times came from the outside world, or even returned from other dimensions.

He has never been to the world outside the domain, but he has some understanding of it.

According to the combat instructor of Against the Tide Classroom, one of the new forces that has emerged in the last two hundred years, the "Immortals", is an extraterritorial force.

Their homes were corroded and destroyed by the black tide. The remaining members of the tribe descended into the monster world before the world collapsed, where they joined forces with multiple races that had similar experiences to build a powerful army to fight against the black tide.

The opposite is true for the gaming family.

They retreated outside the domain during the most ferocious phase of the Black Tide outbreak, and only recently awakened and returned, attempting to rekindle the Emperor's Flame.

But he doesn't doubt the players' loyalty.

It can be seen from the Wan family's constant hunting of evil spirits that their hatred for evil spirits is no less than their own. When they see evil spirits, they will inevitably fight with them, even if they are outnumbered, they will fight to the death.

There must have been a reason for avoiding war back then.

Secondly, there is a clear difference between the thinking logic of the Wan family and the way he thinks about problems.

This is also very consistent with the characteristics of the ancient forces, and they have completely different values ​​from the lives born in this era.

But there was only one thing that puzzled him.

The way for the playing family to enter the monster world is not to relocate the entire family, but to descend through the world barrier one after another, and then wander around the Emperor's Tomb Mountains area looking for evil spirits to fight.

He felt that the Wan family was committing suicide in succession without any tactical arrangements.

Compared with other racial forces in the monster world, the Wan family can hardly be described as weak. They can only barely fight against the stupid evil spirits, and it is very difficult for them to win.

But playing family is not without its advantages.

After observing these days, he found that the Wan family has great potential for growth.

The growth rate of several of the players' family members he observed was truly unbelievable to him.

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 one week for him to achieve a leap in strength.

For example, the Wan family member who was bestowed with the Heavenly Talisman Fighting Skill by him, actually comprehended how to use the Heavenly Talisman Fighting Skill in a very short period of time, and was able to easily absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper his body.

He had never seen such a terrifying speed of learning progress before.

His understanding was that the long sleep caused the strength of the Wan family members to plummet, and the lost strength could be gradually restored through fighting.

The second is the abilities of the playing family members.

They can change into monsters of various forms, and different forms can release different abilities and characteristics. Some abilities even allow him to see the shadow of regular characteristics.

This discovery made Duan Xing more determined in his thoughts.

If possible, he hopes to incorporate the Wan family into the Anti-Tide Legion and make them one of the many forces of the Anti-Tide Legion.

It is said that the Against Tide Legion has incorporated a force from outside the region at its base in the Great North. The force is brave in combat and extremely powerful, and has become one of the strongest Against Tide branch legions in the Great North.

This idea took root in Duan Xing's mind, and he believed that incorporating the Wan family would help the development of the Against the Tide Legion.

But the problem that could not be solved was how he could establish contact with the trial supervisor "Elder You".

Having lost the shuttle, he was cut off from the way back, and his only hope was to wait for the Inspector to come looking for him.

It's difficult for me to go back, how can I bring my family members back with me?

He couldn't help but sigh and turned his gaze to the members of the Wan family not far away.

Seeing them flying towards him, Duan Xing decisively flew into the sky to escape.

It was obvious that the arrival of the family members had no good intentions. They would definitely give him inexplicable things, and then ask him for various props, items, and even information stones that recorded his combat skills.

In order to repay the life-saving favor, he has given away many of the props and items he carried with him.

To this day, he has nothing to give to players.

Unless it's this set of rune armor on your body.

It is certain that some members of the Wan family would be bold enough to ask him for it, but there is no way he would give it away.

The armor is a relic of his father and is connected to his heart. He will never take it off even if he dies.

As he was grateful for saving his life, he could not possibly attack the Wan family members again. The best way to deal with it was to avoid them.

……

The original altar.

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

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

The Mud Demon looks like a lump of clay polymer. It was an unexpected discovery made by a team of novice players while exploring near the Spirit Valley. The name of its ability is "Dissolution".

It can spit mucus, causing continuous strong acid corrosion damage to the target it touches.

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

However, the Mud Demon's appearance is too ugly, and it is disliked by players on the forum. It is even called the most disgusting original monster. The vast majority of players believe that the Mud Demon's monster form and ability characteristics will not be worth buying and inlaying.

However, on the same day, a player developed a hunting mode suitable for "dissolving" souls.

The player who created this hunting mode also enthusiastically posted 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 accomplish cross-level hunting in a very easy way.

Attached demonstration video screen.

A team of five players dug a two-meter-deep and more than ten-meter-long tunnel in the ancient battlefield area, and then placed common props such as spikes and torches purchased from the mall into the tunnel, turning the tunnel into a trap channel where anyone would be harmed as long as they moved forward.

At the end of the passage is a pool of solution that the player spits out after transforming into a mud demon.

The hunting process is very simple. One person in the team uses his body as bait to attract several blood corpses into the passage.

Players standing at the end of the passage will become the target of the blood zombies at this time.

Then came the layout of Plants vs. Zombies.

The blood corpse will be hurt every time it moves forward. During this period, the four players standing at the end of the passage continue to throw fireballs in the form of bone fire, which aggravates the blood corpse's injuries. Finally, the blood corpse falls into the pit dug in front of the player's standing area and immerses in the dissolving pool to die.

This tactic was praised by many forum players, making the Dissolving Soul, which originally received a lot of negative reviews, useful. The trap flow is also the first tactic since the launch of the server to complete hunting without direct combat, which has made many players interested in setting traps.

And this is exactly what Qi Sheng wants to see.

Players' creative imagination has been gradually demonstrated in the monster world.

There are various soul options, and each one can find a practical way to use it through creative combination.

……

Tianfeng City, slums.

Exit the game and return your vision from the virtual desktop to reality.

The strong feeling of weakness made it difficult for Li Zheng to adapt, and he even thought about logging into "Dark Land" again.

The gap between the game and reality becomes particularly obvious after the level is increased.

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

Attribute enhancement brings more than just changes in the numbers on the panel.

His senses also transformed as his levels increased, and the entire world became more vivid in his perception.

For example, vision becomes sharper after each upgrade. The once blurry view is now clear at a glance. Even the tiny dust becomes exceptionally clear under the light, and the world's colors become richer.

In terms of hearing, the sounds you hear become three-dimensional and delicate, including the rustling of wind through leaves, the low roars of monsters in the distance, and even the subtle sounds of fallen leaves falling to the ground can all be clearly heard.

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

The same is true for the sense of smell and taste. The fragrance and odor in the air can be accurately captured, and the taste of food entering the mouth is more distinct.

What is important is that the sharpening of the senses is not only an improvement on the physical level, it is also accompanied by a spiritual awakening, and the individual's perception and understanding are also enhanced simultaneously.

It gave him the feeling that his body was integrated into nature, reaching a state of harmony between man and nature that only existed in movies and novels, with a wonderful feedback that could not be experienced in reality.

This is also the reason why there will be a huge sense of gap in one's heart after logging off and returning to reality.

My body used to feel like it was carrying a heavy yoke, but I had already gotten used to this feeling. But in the game, my body has shed this heavy yoke, allowing my body's perception to be completely liberated, and my actions and thinking have become sharper.

But after quitting the game, this heavy shackle came back again.

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

The game hatch opened and Li Zheng stood up.

After entering the bathroom to wash off the nutrient solution on his body, he returned to his desk and sat down, beginning to look through his recent transfer slips.

After comparing them one by one and making sure that he had received payment for all the sacrifices he had sold, he felt very hungry and immediately ordered a deluxe takeout, deciding to treat himself.

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

Just like the Internet wave, artificial intelligence reform, digital transformation, the advent of the virtual world, and other waves of the times 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 has brought about a trend of wealth redistribution. The players who spend money on the game are willing to pay high prices to buy the labor of the players who work brick-moving. This kind of transaction enables the players who work brick-moving to convert their "labor results" in the game into real income without any tax or other deductions.

More importantly, the game Dark Place changed the quality of his life.

He has also decided that he will make a living from the game Dark Place for the rest of his life.

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

While waiting for the takeaway to be delivered, Li Zheng ate while browsing the largest star network forum in the Human Federation: The Rise of Humanity.

After finding the Dark Land section, the posts in the list were mostly recruitment information, and very few players were discussing game content.

Li Zheng didn't find this strange.

Every game developed by the Eclipse Clan has a built-in forum, including the Dark Land he is currently playing. The forum in the game is fully functional and there is no need to rely on external forums to discuss game content.

As he was browsing, the title of a post caught his attention.

[Dark Land, the biggest publicity scam in history, although it is worth the price of 128888, it is far from the epoch-making game concept mentioned in the publicity. ]

Poster: Birth Certificate (IP: Night City)

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

The content inside made Li Zheng’s eyes widen.

The first thing the poster mentioned was the issue of game realism.
It means that the 90% realism in the Eclipse Clan's promotional advertisements is impossible to achieve, and at best it can only reach % realism. Many problems can still be seen in the feedback and modeling texture of the game environment if you look closely.

Secondly, the poster mentioned the problem of delayed feedback from StarNet.

This means that there may be occasional delays and freezes in the game loading process. For example, when the player is suddenly teleported to a new area, a mosaic scene appears in front of them. After waiting for several seconds, the modeling will gradually appear during loading.

There are also problems with physical performance. Players can actually fly into the sky by exploiting a bug, and after players repeatedly exit and enter the game, their characters will be stuck in the map scene.

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

In conclusion, the player who posted the message believes that this game can beat the virtual game "Ghost in the Shell" released five years ago in all aspects, but it does not reach the level of epoch-making progress at all. It can only be evaluated as excellent, but there is a big difference between it and the promotional advertisements.

The poster hopes that the Eclipse clan officials can optimize the game content as soon as possible, saying that this game still has huge development potential and should not be ruined by optimization and other issues.

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

The player who posted the message was obviously stimulated by something and was talking complete nonsense.

The critical descriptions of the game are even more outrageous, full of rumors and slander against Darkland.

It has been almost a month since the server was launched, and he has been experiencing the game content. How could he not know the pros and cons of the Dark Land?

The poster has never encountered any of the problems he mentioned in the game. It can be said that the game Dark Land has reached a level of perfection that is no different from reality, and there are no flaws in any details.

This point has been discussed many times in the game's built-in forum, and all players believe that this game has reached a level that surpasses modern technology, which is equivalent to creating a brand new world.

When I clicked on the poster's profile, I found that his avatar was a purchase certification bill, proving that the player who posted the message had indeed purchased and experienced the game content.

But this discovery also made Li Zheng even more angry, thinking that the other party was spreading rumors without any basis.

Awkward, right?

He immediately took a screenshot of the content of the post and sent it to the Liver Emperor group.

After seeing the screenshots shared by Li Zheng, the hardcore players in the group who were discussing the dinner party for the next day started to curse each other and said they would go to the Terran Rise forum to speak up for Dark Land and criticize the player who spread rumors and defamed Dark Land to death.
