Chapter 134: Burden of Wisdom, Shop Closed
"Body Forging Level 3, open it for me! My eyes are filled with tears, brothers, I finally reached Body Forging Level 3. I can inherit my Speed Soul attribute, and my strength will increase dramatically."
"I earned more than 8000 sacrifice power this time, which is really like using a sack to fill with money. What's the point of pleasing the ancient gods? It's not as good as the Paradise Clan."
"Hearing that you guys made so much, the 2000+ sacrifice power I earned suddenly doesn't seem so good anymore. Damn you guys, how could you kill so many? I need to get a vehicle, the speed advantage is too important."
"Brothers, go to the Explorer's live broadcast room and spend some money. This overwhelming wealth was given by him."
"Start a group in the small black room, add forum friends in advance, end the black room isolation and set off directly. Come on brothers with vehicles, don't chat with those who have short legs."
……
Players who were expelled from the Palace of Bliss posted screenshots of their sacrifice power gains on the forum.
This greatly stimulated the players who did not take this hidden mission seriously. While they felt annoyed about it, they all prepared to set off.
The players who entered the small dark room and were isolated were not idle either. They took this opportunity to recruit teammates and wanted to enter the palace for the second time.
At this time, the Paradise Clan obviously did not realize how much of an evil force they had been entangled with.
In the eyes of players, profit is more important than anything else.
The threat of death is infinitely reduced in the face of benefits, especially in the hidden scene of the Paradise Palace where you can get benefits without struggling.
Players usually have to work very hard to kill a powerful monster, and they also need to drink medicine and cooperate during the process.
But in the Paradise Palace, you can attack at will, and monsters with high hunting levels will not resist at all.
This hidden scene is worthy of the word "bliss".
How could it be enough to go there once? Of course, I have to go there again after I am resurrected.
After the resurrection cooldown ended, the players quickly organized a large team and advanced towards the branch space of the Palace of Bliss.
This time there was an unexpected surprise on the way there.
A team of players encountered a hunting level 29 original monster on their way.
The monster looks like a mummy, with a pair of dark blue eyes. Its body is tightly wrapped in layers of dry, cracked bandages. The shriveled muscle outlines and dislocated bone structure can be vaguely seen between the gaps in the bandages. Its eyes are sunken in withered eye sockets, and its steps are staggering and heavy when it moves. Each step is accompanied by the friction sound between the bandages and low gasps coming from somewhere inside the body.
Through player analysis, Qi Sheng received feedback information as soon as possible.
【Thirst for Blood (Third Generation Genchu)】
Introduction to the Origin: An Origin monster that controls the bloodthirst characteristic. After releasing the ability, a bloodthirst mark will be generated above its head. With itself as the center, the bloodthirst mark will continuously absorb the lost blood and energy of nearby targets and convert it into healing energy to repair body damage. The coverage range of the bloodthirst mark is affected by the strength of its own blood and energy (the range can be freely controlled and turned on or off).
……
The team of players who discovered the third-generation original monster attacked without hesitation.
But this original monster is extremely difficult to deal with.
During battle, a rune mark will appear above the head, releasing a blood-red light and shadow field with a radius of 10 meters centered on itself.
When fighting with the primordial monsters in the field, blood will be continuously drawn from any wound on the body to repair the wounds of the primordial monsters, making them like the indestructible cockroach.
This team is mostly composed of melee players, and they find it extremely difficult to fight against the Bloodthirster.
In the end, the containment was completed at the cost of the two players returning to Tezuka Village.
The containment of the Bloodthirst Mark caused ecstasy among the Stone Statue players.
Although the soul characteristic is ineffective against life forms whose bodies are made up of energy, such as the Black Tide Evil, it is very effective against insect swarms and other hostile forces with flesh and blood.
Embedding the Bloodthirsty Soul means that you can stand longer in a specific environment.
As soon as the new soul appeared, it was regarded as a core soul that must be embedded by many stone statue players.
This containment also allowed the player legion to achieve an achievement.
When the test tower functional building first appeared, there were a total of 729 souls that could be tested and used. Except for the souls that had been contained before, the others were simulated souls that had not been contained.
Bloodthirst is the first soul to go from simulation to real and usable.
Before this, players believed that these simulated souls might not survive until the day of being taken in even if their real lifespans ran out.
After all, the monster world is vast and boundless. Trying to find the original characteristics in the soul library from countless original monsters is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the probability of finding it is very low.
This successful containment quickly attracted the attention of the Raiders players.
New Star Vein combination styles are gradually appearing after being tested by strategy-seeking players.
Many players who were still on their way also joined in the discussion to pass the time.
During this period, the number of likes for a set of Star Vein combination increased rapidly.
This style of work is called: Blood Demon Mark Style.
In the Star Vein combination, Gargoyle is the core, and it is matched with Bloodthirst, Venom, Shattering, and Forbidden Blade in sequence.
The characteristic of this Star Pulse combination is that it can cause continuous damage to nearby targets even if you stand still, and the blood lost from the enemy's wounds will also heal the player's damaged body.
Since Mark of Thirst is a field-type skill similar to Slowness, it can generate a melee field when combined with other special effect souls.
During this period, as long as the target is injured, the blood will be sucked away by the Bloodthirsty Mark. The physical damage caused by the loss of blood and qi can be superimposed on the Poisonous Attribute, and the Poisonous Attribute can automatically be superimposed on the Forbidden Blade Attribute, plus the physical penetration effect of the Broken Field.
During this period, enemies who are more seriously injured will produce more Qi and blood, forming a positive output and blood recovery cycle.
Moreover, the upper limit of the star vein combination of this blood demon flow is very high, and more special effect flow souls can be stacked in the future. While having high defense, it also has continuous output capabilities.
The test results of the new soul made a group of stone statue players ecstatic.
Since the game was launched, one of the most troublesome issues for players is health recovery.
There is no soul that is compatible with the nurse, which means that every time you want to recover blood, you have to drink medicine.
As the soul level increases, the intensity of hunting monsters also increases.
Primary healing potions are no longer enough to restore the health of stone statue players, and they often need to drink several bottles to restore the health bar to full.
In order to save energy and improve the efficiency of blood recovery during battle, many stone statue players have switched to drinking intermediate healing potions.
The daily expenses on potions are a considerable expense, and other players in the team need to share the expenses. Otherwise, the personal burden will be too heavy and it will easily affect the growth rate.
Although Blood Thirst cannot replace the nurse profession, it can alleviate the problem of difficulty in recovering blood in the early stage.
Stone statue players unanimously gave extremely high scores to the new soul in the forum.
After the episode of sheltering Yuanchu, the army of players crossed mountains and rivers to rush to the Palace of Bliss.
A domain node was also discovered during this period.
However, this domain node is guarded by a powerful tribe of monsters, which grow with the energy fostered by the node, making it impossible for players to get close.
Without organizing a joint combat group, players dare not approach the domain node rashly.
A day and a half later, the first group of players, led by the God King, arrived at the entrance of the Palace of Paradise.
But they did not rush in. Instead, they cordoned off the entrance to ensure that no other players could sneak in.
The God King has already posted on the forum to explain the reason for doing so.
He said that although he did not enter the Palace of Bliss last time, he did watch the live video at that time.
Having learned their lesson, the reaction speed of the Paradise Clan will obviously be much faster than last time, so it would be safer to wait for more people to go in together.
This way, late players can also make a profit.
The God King's behavior was praised by many "short-legged" players, and his extremely high reputation also made many players who arrived one step ahead willing to give him face.
Although some players are still unhappy about this.
But the guild led by the God King is the largest guild in the game, and his friends are also the top guild leaders in the game, so they are unwilling to be enemies with the God King.
Moreover, this idea has been supported by a large number of players, and raising objections at this time will undoubtedly arouse disgust from other players.
It was noon the next day.
The charge horn sounded.
The spatial spiritual patterns behind the ancient tree kept flashing, sending batches of players to the Palace of Paradise.
After passing through the first door, the player breaks free from the mental corruption of the power of bliss and starts the happy salvation operation again.
This time, with the participation of several large guilds, many high-level Fallen who were previously impossible to hunt also became targets of concentrated fire.
The efficiency of producing sacrificial power through salvation has been significantly improved.
During this time, an interesting thing happened.
A peculiarly shaped monster suddenly appeared in the scene of the Gate of Evil Desire. It had a burly body, about as wide as two horses standing shoulder to shoulder, with strong and powerful limbs. Its skin was a deep gray-brown color covered with rough texture like ancient bark. The most eye-catching thing was the pair of huge horns on its head.
This was obviously a monster that entered the Paradise Hall scene through the spatial spiritual patterns from other areas.
As soon as it entered the scene, it was corrupted by the power of bliss, but its eyes were still clear.
The players who saw this scene liberated him on the spot without hesitation, and the whole process took less than a minute.
The reason given by the player who killed the monster was that it was a creature that was about to fall into the evil path, and the player wanted to help it to be freed early.
This is also the characteristic of the Paradise Palace.
Each branch node scene has multiple space channels connecting to the monster world. New creatures may enter at any time and become new machines that breed the power of bliss.
The channel discovered by the player is just one of the multiple channels that connect this node scene to the outside world.
……
The main hall of paradise.
Countless space ties are wrapped around the main hall, continuously injecting the power of bliss into the main hall.
The Lord of Bliss, who is on the altar of the main hall, is like a spider at the center of a spider web. He can sense the conditions of every node on the web through consciousness and accurately locate it.
At this moment, the Lord of Bliss suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of doubt emerged in his heart.
Because he once again sensed that something was wrong with the third spatial node scene in the Pale Continent, and the output of the power of bliss continued to decrease.
“Evil words.”
"My subordinates are here." Not far ahead, a purple figure emerged in the distorted air.
"I went there again, and there was a problem again."
Xie Yu nodded respectfully, and his figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
20 minutes later, Xie Yu returned and knelt on one knee in front of the Lord of Bliss:
"My Lord, it's that Wan Clan that's coming in to cause trouble again. They're about to slaughter all the Fallen in the three spatial nodes of the Pale Continent."
Hearing this, the Lord of Paradise became a little uneasy.
The first time could be a coincidence, accidentally entering the scene of the Palace of Bliss, but the second time was obviously a deliberate target.
According to Xie Yu's description, the Wan family was weak, and he couldn't understand why the Wan family dared to challenge him.
Just one evil word is enough to make the Wan family unable to contend with it. Every time the Wan family enters the Palace of Paradise, a large number of members of the family will be killed, but they cannot take anything away. What is their purpose in doing this?
Is it just to satisfy his desire to kill as much as he wants?
Thinking of this, a strange look appeared in the eyes of the Lord of Bliss. He thought of a new force wreaking havoc in the monster world.
The characteristics of this force are extremely similar to the behavior of this group of players. They like bloodthirsty killing and have no fear of death.
But unlike the playing race, this is a force with unlimited growth potential and extremely strong foundation. They are called fighting Zerg by other races.
Creatures of this race were also captured by the Palace of Paradise.
It shocked him at the time.
He discovered that the captured Zerg warriors launched bloodthirsty attacks on the Fallen after entering the Palace of Bliss, and were not affected by the power of Bliss at all.
The investigation concluded that the Zerg warriors had no memory or logical thinking at all.
Their memories are unable to piece together any picture, and they can only act according to the orders issued by the Zerg main brain. When they do not receive any orders, they will attack all targets driven by their bloodthirsty instincts, even if that target is far stronger than themselves.
Therefore, all Zerg warriors are emotionless monsters with only killing in their eyes.
When he learned the news, he tried to crack the signal that the Zerg mastermind gave to the Zerg warriors, trying to see if he could control the Zerg warriors.
But he didn't understand the principles of Zerg life structure and found that he couldn't do it at all.
Later, by chance, a low-level Zerg mastermind was captured in a space node scene.
This discovery made him think that he had found an opportunity to control the Zerg. He wanted to understand the signal characteristics of controlling the Zerg warriors by studying the Zerg master brain, and then simulate and issue orders through the illusion created by the power of bliss.
But this research made him feel a chill to the bone.
He could basically conclude that the Zerg mastermind had no intelligence of its own.
The entire community shares the same brain resources.
All actions of the Zerg mastermind need to be uploaded to the upper mastermind first, and then fed back layer by layer. After being processed by the Supreme Mastermind, feedback will be given, and then the lower mastermind will issue orders to the Zerg.
This means that unless you directly control the Zerg Supreme Brain, there is no possibility of controlling the Zerg.
Although this was just his guess, he felt that it was very close to the truth.
Because the Zerg's low-level main brain is also not controlled by the power of bliss, it is like a machine that breeds killing soldiers. Once it enters the bliss space, it begins to frantically breed Zerg warriors and launch a slaughter.
If it is not controlled in time, the Zerg mastermind will completely destroy that branch node.
The emotionless killing machine perfectly restrained the most powerful mental control ability of their Paradise Clan.
He also sees the Zerg as one of the biggest challenges in the future.
The contact with the Zerg also gave him a new idea, or inspiration, about the future development of the Zerg.
He discovered that several superpowers had one common characteristic.
Wisdom is attributed to a very small number of individuals, and warriors are all emotionless killing machines.
The same is true for the terrifying black tide.
A very small number of intelligent evil spirits control the huge black tide army.
The Zerg example is even more extreme. It is very likely that a supreme master mind controls warriors across multiple worlds and fights on multiple fronts through unimaginable speeds of information transmission.
This discovery made him start to think about a question: why did these Scourge Legions create this kind of war legion structure?
After much thought, he thought of a possibility.
In the eyes of these calamity-level forces, wisdom is just a tool, but not a trait that is conducive to survival and development.
Wisdom breeds emotions, and emotions breed feelings.
When a group of intelligent life forms gather together, a lot of instability will arise.
Power, conspiracy, desire... these emotions are factors that affect the growth of a force, and may even lead to internal strife and internal friction.
The Zerg's legion structure avoids this problem very well.
Intelligence is concentrated in a single individual, and the others are machines that perfectly execute killing instructions.
There are no internal conflicts caused by any emotional influence, such as infighting. The development efficiency of the ethnic group can be described as a sophisticated instrument. There is no breakthrough from the inside out.
Looking back at the time when he was in charge of the five worlds, there were indeed many small forces that collapsed under the heavy accumulation of internal contradictions and were eventually easily destroyed by the enemy.
After this reflection, the Lord of Bliss understood a truth.
Too much wisdom in a group is likely to become a development burden.
Therefore, the legion structure with a small amount of intelligence is very suitable for super-scourge legions such as the Zerg Tide and the Black Tide.
In order to understand the reason, he also started the reconstruction plan of the Paradise Clan, wanting to emulate the legion structure of the Black Tide and the Zerg Tide.
However, the plan is still in its infancy, no results have been seen so far, and there are still many problems that cannot be solved.
For example, how can a single individual easily command a huge war army like the Zerg Tide and the Black Tide?
The efficiency and scope of information transmission is a difficult problem to solve.
The second is the creation of killing machines, how to build a military structure with multiple combat power systems like the Zerg Tide and the Black Tide.
These are the long-term prospects that he wanted to try but could never find a solution for.
Coming back to his senses, Jile looked at Xie Yu who was kneeling on one knee in front of him.
The situation of the player race mentioned by Xie Yu is completely different from that of the Zerg.
They have intelligence and emotions, but they can also block the influence of the power of bliss like the Zerg. This is indeed very unreasonable.
But all the phenomena that have occurred, no matter how unreasonable they are, can only be attributed to one's own shallow cognition.
This was obviously a special life structure that was beyond his cognitive understanding.
I didn't think about this issue in detail.
The weak Playing Clan can be easily slaughtered with just the evil words, and even if they have the characteristics that perfectly restrain the Bliss Clan, it will not have any effect on them.
"Xie Yu, step back."
Xie Yu nodded at this time and disappeared.
……
Two days later.
The Lord of Bliss suddenly opened his eyes.
"Evil words, the third spatial node of the Cangbai Continent..."
Upon receiving the news that the space node was invaded by the Wan Clan again, the Lord of Paradise could no longer hold back.
This is already the third time.
The Wan family obviously used the Paradise Hall as a place for killing and pleasure.
But this happiness, not granted by the power of bliss, will only harm his interests.
The crisis reappeared in the same node scene, and he even had the idea of letting the evil language reside in the third space node.
But after thinking about it carefully, he gave up the idea.
Xie Yu and the other 31 confidants are important forces for him to supervise the huge network of Paradise Palace. For the safety of a scene, there is no need to send a general to stay there permanently.
In contrast, there is an easier way to solve the problem.
Then completely close the space passage that allows the Wan family to enter the paradise scene.
As long as the space channel is closed, the third space scene of the Pale Continent can still operate normally, and it can continue to capture the Fallen through other channels to produce the power of bliss for him.
As for the loss of closing a channel, it can be ignored.
After all, every node scene has dozens of space channels connecting to the monster world.
The third space node of the Pale Continent that the Wan Clan entered has 67 channels to the outside world, and closing one will have no effect.
……
Another two days later.
When the player arrives at the coordinate location, walks around the ancient tree, and wants to enter the Paradise Hall through the space spiritual pattern.
I was surprised to find that the spatial spiritual patterns on the ground had disappeared.
The unbelieving players dug deep into the ground, hoping to find the spatial spiritual patterns that might be buried deep underground.
But it turned out that the spatial spiritual pattern really disappeared.
This means that the door to the Palace of Bliss is completely closed.
This discovery made countless players beat their chests and lament.
I finally found a scene where I could brush up on my power, but before I could enjoy the good times for a few days, the scene was closed.
When the players who arrived later heard the news, they were struck by lightning and regretted that they had missed the last train.
Players have entered the forum and started a heated discussion about the closure of the passage to the Palace of Bliss:
"It's all your fault for being so cruel. You ruined the hidden dungeon. Now it's closed and no one is happy anymore."
"I remember your ID above. You were the one who shouted the most excitedly in the regional channel yesterday. Why are you blaming us for crashing the hidden dungeon? Ask yourself how much sacrifice power you have gained. Post a screenshot of the battle log (eating dirt and slapping the table.jpg)."
"I knew it would end sooner or later if it kept going like this. Every time you go in, you kill, kill, kill. I haven't even had time to experience the pleasure of the Gate of Desire before the passage is closed. It's so uncomfortable."
"With too many zero-dollar purchases, of course we have to close. No store can withstand endless zero-dollar purchases. It's enough to make a profit... Also, to attract hatred, I made 15,000 sacrifices, hahahaha (battle log screenshot.jpg)"
Just as players were regretting the closure of the passage to the Palace of Bliss, some players also gave an expectant outlook.
He said that he had asked for guidance, and there were still a large number of space passages connecting to the Palace of Paradise in the monster world scene. Perhaps in the near future, this lost happiness would be continued.
This comment was quickly pinned to the top with a large number of likes.
Having tasted the joy, players are looking forward to the next encounter.
By then, the Paradise Hall will welcome an even more powerful group, and both the killing speed and efficiency will be significantly improved.
At that time, the happiness will be doubled and the benefits will be doubled.
The joyful activities in the Palace of Bliss came to an end.
The importance of exploration players was also demonstrated in this "Palace of Bliss" incident.
Although the combat effectiveness of this group of players is weak, they can always bring new opportunities to the entire player camp.
The Snake Ancestor Ruins from last time and the Paradise Hall this time are both benefits brought to them by exploration players.
Especially the forum player "Explorer", who is regarded as the leader of the exploration party by countless players.
But this does not affect players' use of the Explorer series emoticon pack to make memes. Even many new players who have just joined the game have joined in on the meme-making after learning about the previous game history.
(*≧▽≦) I have achieved the achievement of “30 words a day” after days of updates. This is the first time for so many books.
