……

Ding Yu's success has boosted the enthusiasm of technical players to delve into the temple trials.

From the initial 1 hour and 50 minutes developed by Ding Yu, other technical players improved it to less than 1 hour and 20 minutes in just three days.

But as the first person to try it out, Ding Yu's income is undoubtedly the highest. Some forum players analyzed and estimated the number of orders Ding Yu received, and believed that he earned more than 3 sacrifice power in three days, which made countless players envious.

After that, a large number of technical players emerged and began to seize the market, continuously lowering the fee ratio for helping players pass the game.

The benefits of earning sacrificial power continue to decrease.

This craze for bringing customs clearance has once again drawn attention to the importance of technology.

……

Emperor's Tomb Mountains, gray fog forest.

The thick black tide gathered into a sea, forming an impenetrable defense wall, protecting the Yuntian domain node inside.

The corrosion core that has been received by the black tide has been continuously extracting node energy during this period, providing the black tide with a steady supply of nutrients for breeding evil spirits, and its intensity has gradually increased.

The domain node is an area in the monster world that can generate resources at the rule level, and is also the main target of competition among various forces.

As long as you occupy a domain node, it means you can get a steady supply of energy.

The emergence of the insect swarm slowed down the expansion of the Black Tide.

In addition, the joint operations frequently organized by the major guilds have changed the expansion strategy of the evil spirits that control the black tide.

Protecting the occupied territory nodes is a more important goal in the eyes of the evil spirits than continuing to expand.

This also made many players who had ideas about the domain nodes very angry, and several joint operations ended in failure.

At this time, outside the Gray Mist Forest, the joint action organized by the major guilds started again.

The initiator is the president of the Temple Guild: the God King.

The game has been launched for nearly two months. Although the God King entered the game nearly half a month later than the first batch of players, he is quite famous in the forum.

When he first entered the game, in order to make his guild famous, he declared on the forum that he would spend 10 billion to purchase unlimited sacrificial power.

At that time, there was also a time traveler joke that made many players remember him.

His command of the Battle of the Demonic Pit made him even more famous.

At this time, 5 kilometers south of the gray fog forest, Ye Xing, with the words "God King" on his head, was waiting for the opportunity to come.

The joint campaigns organized by him have failed several times, but he was not discouraged at all. Instead, he became more and more excited and studied every day how to take over the Yuntian area node.

It is said that every player has his own way of playing the game, and the way he chooses to play the game is different from that of ordinary players.

Although improving his personal strength is also important to him, he prefers to lead his guild brothers to challenge difficulties and conquer one powerful enemy after another through large-scale group battles.

Just last night, he contacted the presidents of the major guilds again and initiated a request for a joint operation.

In order to successfully capture the Yuntian domain node, he also specifically asked the guild management to contact a group of well-known individual groups in the game.

Apart from the hardworking group of players who were still fighting in the Against Tide Legion and trying to survive, he contacted all the players who had some strength, hoping to take down the long-attacked Yuntian domain node in one fell swoop through this battle.

Before the battle started, multiple private chat boxes were floating in front of Ye Xing.

God King: Gou Yi, have you brought your brothers here?
Shen Yi: Don’t rush me, I’m still on my way. I’ll let you know when I arrive.

God King: When we get there, we can just launch an attack on the node of the Rotten Wood Realm. Wait for the Earth Dog to control the Black Tide to come over for support, and then we will launch the attack.

Shen Yi: Okay, got it.

……

After communicating with the president of the Divine Wing Guild, Ye Xing lit up another chat window:
God King: Where are all the brothers from the Whirlwind Group?
Tornado: Brother, don’t rush me, I’m on the way.

God King: Send me the coordinates.

Tornado: (Imperial Mountains: coordinates 3283.1224).

……

During the screen switching communication, the number of players outside the gray fog forest continued to increase.

At the same time, at the Rotten Wood Domain node northwest of Fengbotan, members of the Divine Wing Guild launched a fierce offensive.

The battle immediately attracted the attention of the evil spirit of earth, which decisively mobilized the black tide and gray fog in the nearby area to converge towards the attacked rotten wood node.

Ye Xing, who learned the situation through the feedback from the divine wings, looked into the distance at the gray fog forest, and then turned on the perception perspective of the eagle-headed monster.

The extended perception tentacles radiate in all directions with themselves as the center, and everything becomes extremely clear, even the floating tracks of dust in the air can be easily captured.

God King: Brothers, please stop chatting in the regional voice channel. Prepare to launch a general attack. Except for the presidents of the major guilds, other players should not speak.

God King: I will give everyone five minutes to prepare stocks in the mall. Every magic player must prepare 15 bottles of spirit potions for me, and melee players must be equipped with 15 bottles of recovery potions. You can buy more but not less, because you won't have time to buy potions when the fight starts... Also, don't think about saving money, use the potions when you need to, and all the losses will be recovered by taking down the Yuntian Domain node. During this period, I will observe everyone's actions, and I will give extra cash rewards to players who perform well.

God King: Have you bought everything? Now, the players who play the Gargoyle Injury Stream and the players who play the Monster Stream will gather at the front of the team and serve as the first line. The players of the Black Armored Snake, Weapon Spirit Stream, and other melee streams will follow behind the Gargoyle players and serve as the second line. The magic defense stream and control stream will go to the third line... The magic output will go to the fourth line. The players who play the Thunder Soul will go to the sides of the battle formation. All members of the Fanzui Guild will go to the back to hold the line, to prevent the black tide evil spirits coming from other directions and protect the magic output.

God King: Now, advance towards the Gray Mist Forest!

Following the order from the God King, the combined combat group, which had already formed a battle formation, headed towards the Gray Mist Forest.

As the player team approached, the surging black tide seemed to be stimulated by something, and the speed of breeding evil spirits suddenly increased.

The evil black tide emerged like dumplings, the surging black fog rolled up the waves and slammed towards the joint combat group.

God King: Players with magic defense, open the shield above your head, quickly!
As the God-King roared in the voice channel, the players who chose magic defense in the battle formation raised their heads and released their special abilities. Suddenly, light shields appeared above the battle formation, quickly expanded and connected with each other, forming a defensive barrier composed entirely of energy.

boom!
The black tide that was photographed was resisted by the light shield barrier, and what followed was the raging black tide of evil.

The war is about to start.

God King: Players of Benlei activate their abilities and defend me from the evil black tides attacking from both wings.

After the order was issued, the players with Thunder Soul embedded in them on both sides of the battle formation began to "crackle" all over their bodies. After activating their special abilities, they turned into a glowing ball of thunder and lightning, slowly rolling forward with the team. All the black evil spirits attacking from both sides would be defeated and absorbed the moment they came into contact with the body of thunder and lightning.

God King: The gargoyle players charge forward to attract the evil spirits' firepower. Other melee output players continue to maintain their formation and advance. Protect the magic output players in the back row and don't let the evil spirits break through the battle formation. The magic output players listen to my orders and attack together. We will advance in little by little.

God King: Next, you can play the magic defense flow freely. If you have perception, use it to lock on the ghost baby. Before it self-destructs, put a light shield to protect the teammates in the front row. Other players continue to follow the command.

God King: Magic players should prepare, use clones if you have them, 3, 2, 1, use skills to clear the way.

In an instant, countless inky fireballs rose above the battle formation, streaking across the sky and falling towards the surging black fog like a meteor shower.

Just one round of attack cleared away a large area of ​​black fog and opened up a passage for advancing.

God King: Gargoyle and monster players, speed up and advance forward. Quicken your pace and hold the gap for me. Don't let the black tide fill the gap. The magic players in the back row prepare for the second round of output to clear the way.

After many encounters, Ye Xing, who has already mastered the attack rhythm of the Black Tide, seems to be at ease in the initial confrontation with the Black Tide.

As a united front commander, he is very clear about his position.

The abilities and characteristics of different black evil spirits, the attack rhythm when the black tide surges, the abilities and characteristics of different life souls, the characteristics and advantages of different star vein combinations... these are all the knowledge he must master before commanding the battle.

Only in this way can we better formulate the roles that players of different styles play in team battles.

If we cannot even master these basic things, the united front command will lose its meaning.

And every time he commands a battle, it is a process of self-improvement in Ye Xing's eyes.

Accumulate experience through actual combat, improve one's command rhythm and adaptability, and improve existing deficiencies in command.

While giving orders, he would also praise players who performed well.

In this way, team cohesion can be enhanced, players' emotions can be mobilized, and they can perform better in battle.

But when he encountered intolerable stupid behavior, he couldn't help but curse. Under the command of the God King, the joint battle formation pressed the black tide deep into the Black Mist Forest.

Ahead is a dense forest with tall trees. If they continue to move forward, the battle formation will inevitably be diverted and cut by the trees, seriously affecting the efficiency of advancement.

Ye Xing had already thought of a solution to this problem when he was studying the map before the battle started.

He decisively issued an order on the small regional voice channel:
"Mage player, target the forest ahead. Burn the trees to ensure the battle formation continues to advance."

The order was given, and the fireball rose into the air and then fell into the woods.

The strong winds caused by the surging black tide transformed into wildly dancing black fire dragons, spreading at an alarming speed.

The flames shot up into the sky, turning half the sky green.

It also caused continuous burning damage to the black tide raging in the gray fog forest.

The blazing flames reduced many trees to ashes, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of smoke mixed with the aroma of burnt charcoal.

The fire grew more and more fierce, like a hungry beast, opening its huge mouth and swallowing its way into the depths of the gray fog forest.

The tree trunks along the way were crackling in the inky flames, and thick smoke billowed, covering the sky and the sun, as if shrouded by a thick black veil.

The entire forest was like a huge furnace, and in the process, a large number of plants that had withered and been corroded by the black tide were twisted and died.

Ye Xing also spoke at this time, asking the team to slow down their advance and wait for the smoke to dissipate.

Eventually, the fire died down and strong winds dispersed the smoke.

As far as the eye can see, the ground is covered with ashes and debris left over from the burnt trees.

Apart from the still surging black tide, the once densely grown tall gray wood forest disappeared, leaving only the scorched earth spreading forward.

After the woods that blocked the way forward were destroyed, the view suddenly became wider, and Ye Xing also gave the order to continue moving forward.

A new round of fighting broke out.

Ye Xing was in a state of tension throughout the whole process and kept pouring mental recovery potion into his mouth.

The eagle-headed demon's perception perspective is his key skill in controlling the direction of the situation.

The maximum range of perception must be maintained throughout the process, which reduces the consumption of mana (mental power) like flowing water, and requires drinking mental potions at any time to replenish the consumption.

If his perception perspective is disconnected and he is in the center of the battle, it will be difficult for him to judge the direction of the situation with his naked eyes alone.

For example, when the fire was burning the ash forest just now, although there was thick smoke, his perception perspective could penetrate the smoke and continue to observe the changes in the battle situation.

During this period, it was discovered that the players from the major guilds showed signs of disintegration in their battle formation as they continued to move forward because their vision was obscured by the thick smoke.

So he urgently ordered to slow down the pace, and then ordered to speed up when the smoke dissipated and the vision became clear.

Before the war, he prepared 80 bottles of mental potions to ensure the continuity of his perception and observation.

At this time, the battle had advanced to the Gray Mist Forest, and Ye Xing understood that a real fierce battle was about to begin.

The most difficult thing about the Yuntian Domain Node is not only the black tide that protects this area, but also the corrupt plants generated underground in the Corrosion Core. The level is generally above level 35 and is extremely difficult to deal with. At this time, he issued an order:
"Brothers, get ready. Those who are in poor condition should drink medicine to replenish their energy. Brothers in the Stone Statue Stream should continue to move forward and distance themselves from the team to withstand the first wave of entanglement damage when the corrupt plants explode. Brothers in the Magic Defense Stream should switch to the second row of battle formations. After the mana is full, be ready to use the Light Shield to protect the team."

"The players of the Thunder Soul on both sides of the team will switch to the first row. The players of the Fanzui Group in the back will be divided into two waves to protect the left and right wings of the battle formation. Tieye's team will be assigned to the first row separately. They will follow my command and charge to clear the way..."

During the command and dispatch, the cloud fields in the distance came into view.

Under Ye Xing's command, the stone statue players broke away from the team and ran towards Yuntian, and suddenly the scene of demons dancing in chaos reappeared.

Countless black corrupt plants, like awakened demons, pierced through the cracks in the ground and leaped up. They grew and entangled at an incomprehensible speed, interweaving into an impenetrable gray-black web.

"Open the petrification!"

Following Ye Xing's roar, the stone statue players in front of him all turned into petrified form, and their bodies were then rolled up by the raging vines.

And this is exactly the result that Ye Xing wanted to see. A new round of orders was issued, and dense fireballs rose into the sky and hit Yuntian like a meteor shower.

……

At the same time that Ye Xing was commanding his team to fight against the Black Tide.

Qi Sheng, who is behind the scenes, is also paying attention to the development of the battle

During this period, we found many game settings that needed to be improved.

The first is the lack of a team mode, which means that the players being commanded need to listen to commands in a small area voice channel, which may be affected by external interference.

This is an issue that urgently needs to be addressed.

He could easily add a team mode with no upper limit on the number of players in a team, allowing the player in charge of unified command to pull all players into an independent chat channel.

Secondly, there is no detailed data in the setting to help the player in charge of the unified front to judge the team situation.

For example: team survival (death) statistics, team total damage output statistics, team average mental energy consumption statistics, etc.

These data can enable the United Front Command to better control the battlefield rhythm and understand the situation within the team.

On these basis, you can also add switching viewing of team data, so that the united front commander can control the team information more meticulously and carry out detailed command based on the data.

Qi Sheng thinks these two settings are very necessary.

In the future, players will face mechanical legions, combat insect swarms, terrifying black tides, and a series of potential forces that have not yet been discovered.

These forces all have commanding warriors who control the direction of the battlefield situation.

The intelligent evil spirits and evil eyes in the black tide, the masters of the mechanical army, the masterminds of the fighting insect tide, these commanding warriors can adjust their own combat plans according to the situation and make the battle more efficient.

Player legions can also create command-type warriors.

Ye Xing is a good reference example.

With more detailed data support, they can more effectively exert their command abilities in team battles.

Qi Sheng plans to open this setting to all players in the next update.

In addition to the optimized settings for the team mode, Qi Sheng also discovered a potential problem in the battle.

That is, output-type players will gain much more benefits than other types of players in the battle for domain nodes.

In the same team, the evolution points and sacrifice power obtained from hunting and killing targets are shared by all players in the team.

However, in the contribution statistics of purification tasks, only the contribution created by output damage is taken into account.

For example, in the task of purifying the Yuntian node, the 1000 players with the highest contribution can receive a spiritual field as a reward.

However, with the current contribution calculation method, the players who receive these 1000 reward places are all output-type players, and other auxiliary players simply do not have enough contribution values ​​to compete with output-type players.

This results in output-type players being the ones who benefit the most from each purification mission.

This is very detrimental to the development of the player's army.

The gaming experience of the output stream is already higher than that of auxiliary players. Coupled with the preferential treatment in the distribution of purification task rewards, more and more players will choose the output stream and will be unwilling to become auxiliary players.

To address this potential problem, he decided to change the way contribution values ​​are calculated the next time a purification mission is released.

The player's other behaviors are also counted into the contribution list.

At this stage, there is no healing type of nurse school among the various schools, so the healing amount data can be temporarily ignored.

Other values ​​that can be counted into contribution include, on the basis of output damage, increased contribution of damage taken, contribution of control effect, contribution of protecting teammates (light shield and other types of soul characteristics), contribution of auxiliary gain, and a series of behaviors that create advantages for the team can be included in the contribution statistics.

The new setting allows players of different schools to receive fair treatment in the tasks of purifying domain nodes.

As for the statistical method, you can leave it to the guiding clone.

With powerful data processing capabilities, it can analyze the optimal contribution calculation method in real time according to changes in the battle situation.

Therefore, the future "purification task" will no longer be output-only.

Instead, the ranking is based on actual contribution data.

As for the ongoing Yuntian node purification mission, it has been determined and he will not change it.

After thinking about the new setting modification direction, Qi Sheng switched his attention back to the Yuntian field node where a fierce battle was taking place.
