Chapter 187 Version Enhancement, Rules Game
Chapter 187 Version Enhancement, Rules Game
The original altar.
After deducing the development process of the small world, Qi Sheng no longer paid attention to it.
The future direction of the small world has been made clear in the forum, and it will become a blessed land for players to produce rule energy.
Without destroying the output of the wishing soul, new souls will be added in the future to arrange resource output.
Statistics of recent profits.
The number of souls housed has reached 44.
The speed of catching the original monsters in the Colorful Mist Coast area and the Winter Snowfield area began to decline.
He was considering opening up another space node for the Novice Village.
However, the speed of accommodating domain nodes has begun to accelerate, and many domain nodes that were difficult for early players to capture have been accommodated one after another recently.
In recent times alone, three new resource nodes have been integrated into the space of Dizhong Village.
The exploration level of the player corridor has also reached 4.394%.
The real-time output of sacrificial power experienced a sharp decline after the Evil Moon Realm of the Colorful Mist Coast was taken in, but recently it has gradually recovered with the growth of new players, and it is not far from the peak of real-time income, or even breaking through the peak.
After reading the data information, Qi Sheng's gaze jumped to the Dizhong Mountains area.
The evil moon in the sky was covered with a veil and became hazy.
The waning moon twisted and shook slightly in the process.
It was like the moon was reflected on a calm lake, and suddenly a stone broke the silence, causing ripples to appear on the moon reflected on the lake, and its shape distorted and changed as it shook.
What is clear is that the Evil Moon is about to start a new round of lunar phase changes.
However, it is impossible to determine the specific phase of the moon.
Also paying attention to the changes in Evil Moon is the evil spirit standing on the platform of the high tower at the Tianyuan node.
It and the evil eye look up at the sky, looking forward to the upcoming moment.
There is no fixed pattern in the changes of the moon phases.
Even a waning moon could suddenly switch to the state of a great evil moon.
Or the waning moon may remain a waning moon after the moon phase changes.
As the distortion of the moon phase intensified, the entire Tezuka Mountains region also began to distort.
New scenes and derivative evil spirits will appear after the scene changes.
The sudden change sparked heated discussions among players on the forum.
Most of the players active in the Emperor's Tomb Mountains are veteran players, so they are naturally familiar with the changes in the moon phases. They are guessing which stage the evil moon will switch to this time.
This process lasted for half an hour.
The moon phases began to fluctuate violently, and darkness spread like thick ink.
The original waning moon became like a single eye soaked in blood, constantly opening and closing, and the phases of the moon kept changing in the process.
The blood-red light spread across the earth, making the originally barren land even more dead silent.
[Boss, it should be the waxing moon! ]
At this moment, a guiding voice sounded in Qi Sheng's mind.
As the instructions came out, the countless corrosion cores entangled in the Emperor's Tomb Mountains area began to wriggle rapidly, extending countless tentacles that danced towards the sky.
The earth trembled, and the originally broken edges of the waning moon were gradually filled with a dark red substance, as if an invisible hand was carefully repairing this evil moon.
The waning moon then turns into a waxing moon.
The hazy color covering the surface faded away, revealing a bright and dazzling blood light.
The crescent moon, at this moment, looks like a sharp blade soaked in blood, hanging high in the sky.
The originally dim Emperor's Tomb Mountains suddenly became bright.
But this brightness was rendered in blood, as if the entire world was going to be turned into a sea of blood.
Just as the evil moon completely transformed into a waxing crescent moon, the scene began to change.
In addition to the scenes that already existed in the Emperor's Tomb Mountains, accompanied by the roar of space, the derived evil spirits born in the waning moon state disappeared out of thin air.
Evil and twisted offshoots of the structure rise from the corrupted core.
These buildings are made of stones generated by the black tide energy, with dark red lines imprinted on the surface, like countless twisted blood vessels.
Cracks appeared on the ground, and countless evil spirits appeared in the scene.
The first to appear is the evil derivative "Furnace Demon" from the ancient battlefield area.
Its body is made up of blazing flames, and its outline is human-like. Its head is a huge dark green fireball, and the back of its head is dragging flying tongues of fire, like flaming hair dancing in the wind. Its arms are like two thick rock pillars, constantly dripping hot inky magma. Its body is surrounded by rolling heat waves, like a moving volcano, and the ground turns to scorched earth wherever it goes.
Next up is the eye of the storm.
Its body was hidden in the strong wind, and only a vague outline could be seen. There were whistling air currents surrounding its body, and small tornadoes were constantly spinning around it. Its face was obscured by a dark cloud, revealing only a pair of eyes flashing with lightning.
After that, the Nightmare Knight, who is a fusion of man and horse, appears, riding a skeleton warhorse burning with black flames.
It was wearing a tattered, foul-smelling black armor, its head was covered by a huge black helmet, and it held a huge black sickle in its hand with black liquid flowing on the blade. Its body continued to suck all the life force around it.
The Earth-Splitting Giant, the Soul-Eating Demon, the Spider Guard, the Curse Puppet...
After the scene switches, the strength of the derived evil spirits increases significantly.
After fetching data, it was found that the average hunting level of derived evil spirits reached level 78.
This means that the Tezuka Mountains area has officially entered soul wandering mode.
The number of derived evil spirits is greater than the black tide controlled by the evil spirits of the earth, and their strength is even greater.
At this time, the evil spirit of earth thought was suspended above the platform of the high tower, scanning the Emperor's Tomb Mountains area with its perception perspective, and it laughed wildly.
After a long wait, he finally had his strengthening moment.
In a flash of thought, the black tide energy between heaven and earth quickly gathered towards the tower and entered the central furnace, providing a continuous supply of production energy for the black tide.
It's like a game, switching from easy mode to difficult mode.
The intensity of the black tide controlled by the evil spirit of earth has also been significantly increased, including the speed of its strength growth.
Switching to the third phase of the first quarter moon is enough to speed up its development.
Without even the slightest hesitation, it controlled the black tide and rushed towards the players in the Tezuka Mountains area.
At this time, the united battle group led by the God King was fighting against the black tide in the Emperor's Tomb Mountains.
The sudden increase in the intensity of the Black Tide caught the players off guard.
What’s more important is that there are a large number of derivative evil spirits that appear after the moon phase changes, and their strength is superb.
The players were beaten so hard that they kept shouting and cursing.
Faced with the inevitable defeat of the war, the God King immediately issued an order, asking players to stop drinking medicine, reduce the waste of sacrificial energy, and switch to free combat mode.
Including the player war groups scattered in different areas of the Emperor's Tomb Mountains, they were also submerged by the derived evil tide.
Amidst the shouting and cursing, the players in the Emperor's Tomb Mountains were killed one after another, and their souls returned to Emperor's Omen.
Before clearing out the last group of players, the Black Tide Evil Demon under the control of the Earth Bully spoke in human language, and taunted the remaining players in a uniformly contemptuous tone:
"Brother, you still need to practice!"
Players on the forum called this incident: forced offline when the game version is updated.
The concept of "each version has its own god" does not only apply to players.
The same applies to bullies.
The waning moon can be understood as a version weakening.
The waning moon can be understood as version balance.
The waxing moon can be understood as a version enhancement.
The full moon can be understood as the darling of the version.
Da Xieyue can be understood as the true god of this version.
The current Earth Bully has benefited from the enhanced version.
In response to this, a player on the forum said: There is a new bully in each version, and it is impossible for every version to be strengthened. Let the bully be proud for a while, and when the version is weakened, we will inevitably retaliate fiercely.
After this round of moon phase switching, a large number of player teams flocked to the Colorful Mist Coast area and the Winter Snowfield area to join the player corridor development plan.
Except for a few large guilds, individual teams can hardly move forward in the Emperor's Tomb Mountains area.
As for lone wolf players, no matter how high their skills are, it is extremely difficult, or even almost impossible, to kill a derivative evil spirit.
In the face of absolutely overwhelming numbers, all techniques are futile.
Veteran players have long been accustomed to the harsh hunting environment brought about by the changing moon phases.
In their eyes, the Monster World officials never consider the feelings of the players.
There is no regular pattern to the switching of moon phases, unlike other games which give advance notice of when activities or difficult dungeons will be launched.
There’s even an events calendar to check out.
As players, they can run rampant in the monster world.
But in front of the official dogs, there is really no way to deal with it except to secretly curse the Eclipse Clan as idiots.
The game is free, and the game cabin is a gift from the Eclipse Clan... They don't have any cards in their hands to challenge the official ones.
As for threatening to officially quit the game.
Looking at the ratio of the number of visitors to normal players in each live broadcast room, no one dared to say such a joke that made the forum players laugh and cry. At this time, Qi Sheng, who was behind the scenes, did not pay attention to the heated discussion of the forum players about the moon phase switch.
After his perception scanned the Emperor's Grave Mountains, he began to wonder:
"Guide, what is the origin of the derivative evil?"
[I don't know. The black tide energy released by the evil moon will automatically generate derivative evil spirits with the corresponding moon phase strength. It feels to me like a life-making machine, generating corrosion cores and derivative evil spirits every moment.]
"Could it be an experimental model for a new evil soldier?"
After hearing Qi Sheng's guess, he held his chin up, a thoughtful look on his face:
[It is possible that the generated arms can be deployed in different regions as derivative evil spirits for actual combat testing. If the strength and ability of the arms are determined to be qualified, they can be included in the arms database. However, the limited data at this stage cannot be analyzed to draw a clear conclusion.]
[But I prefer to generate a home field, just like the Shuyan domain created by Shuyan, which is a special environment that can bring home field advantages. ]
[Many descending forces have similar war performances. In the confrontation between descending powerful tribes, the first stage is the collision of their respective fields, and then the confrontation between the arms. The home advantage can significantly improve the combat effectiveness of one's own arms. ]
[For example, aquatic creatures that are used to fighting in liquid environments, when this type of advent forces fights with other forces, the best choice is to first turn the home field into an ocean-like scene, gain a home field advantage, and then fight with the troops. ]
Qi Sheng nodded after hearing this.
He did not delve into this issue.
At this moment, the line of sight jumps to the player corridor in the Colorful Mist Coast area.
This is the busiest area at this stage.
Many new players in the Winter Snow region generally choose the Colorful Mist Coast as their first stop after leaving the Novice Village.
Secondly, players from exploration parties, the Arms Dealers Guild, the Pharmacists Guild, and other branch schools also use the Colorful Mist Coast as their main activity area.
Including the latest discovered doomsday world, it is also in this area.
Hunting, exploration, mining, entertainment, food, competition...all kinds of activities can be carried out in the Colorful Mist Coast area, which has become the most popular area among the player community.
In terms of the development of player corridors, 4.394% of the 4.13% comes from the line connecting the Colorful Mist Coast to the Imperial Tomb Mountains.
As for the line from the Emperor's Tomb Mountains to the Winter Snowfields, it is mainly being developed by several large guilds, and progress is slow. During the process of advancement, they have to fight fierce battles with the evil spirits of the earth from time to time.
The frequency of fighting between the two sides is extremely high.
The strategy of the evil spirits is always to beat the enemy when he is down, and they will not attack players under normal circumstances.
But as soon as they see the player in trouble or encountering a strong enemy, they will definitely sweep in and stab the player from the side.
Or a backstab from behind.
The player's combat strategy is very simple.
Whenever he gets upset with a bully, he'll go up and fight him, doing whatever he wants, without ever considering the specific circumstances.
The strategy for fighting Zerg is simpler.
As long as the player fights the local bully, he must follow up with a three-way melee, or occasionally find the local bully to fight.
Especially when the underground bully is testing new soldiers, he must be present and follow the testing.
……
Colorful mist coast, Baiguling.
As far as the eye can see, the earth is covered with a layer of pale white.
According to the analysis in the guide, this place was once a battlefield between two descending forces.
The two forces fought for a long time, wiping out the originally lush forest and creating a mountain of bones piled up with countless corpses.
As time goes by, the flesh and blood of the dead in battle have disappeared, leaving only piles of bones covering the ground.
But there was no winner in the contest between these two forces.
For most forces, war is a process of consuming their resources.
Inventory resources, combat units... will all be constantly consumed in the war.
After all, there are only a few forces like the Black Tide, the Zerg, and the Counter Tide that can achieve rapid growth through fighting to support fighting.
These two forces finally reached their final destination after arriving in the monster world after the appearance of a third force.
But the third-party forces were unable to occupy this area.
The sudden crisis from God and the harvest of a powerful tribe when they passed by wiped out the third-party force that benefited from it.
Just like the Emperor's Tomb Mountains area, a mechanical army suddenly descended to harvest the spiritual mineral resources.
In front of a truly powerful clan, weak forces are like a wild spiritual plant that players accidentally discover while exploring and pick at will.
The desolate scene had no trees to block the view. Strong winds swept across the land, and the bones collided with each other, making a "cracking" sound, playing the music of death.
The raised dust mixed with bone powder filled the air.
A player was walking among the mountains piled with bones, and the bones under his feet made a crisp sound as they were crushed.
From time to time, the body would suddenly sink into the pile of bones, and when the legs were pulled out forcefully, a cloud of flying bone fragments would be brought out.
The sound of wind passed through the gaps between the bones, making a low "humming" sound, ringing in the player's ears.
After walking for a while in Baiguling, Song Hao called out the map to check his coordinates.
Correct the direction and continue on your way.
During the trip, I would take a selfie screenshot from time to time and save it in the forum's private album to record every moment of the journey.
"Jiji!"
At this moment, the treasure-hunting mouse, which was lying on his shoulder with a lazy expression, suddenly raised its head, twitched its nose to the left and front twice, and then jumped off Song Hao's shoulder.
Seeing this, Song Hao immediately realized that the treasure-hunting rat had made a discovery and followed decisively.
The treasure-hunting rat locked onto a pile of bones and dug into the ground with its two front paws, stirring up bursts of bone fragments that fell to the ground with a rustling sound.
As the excavation deepened, the treasure-hunting rat disappeared from sight, and Song Hao, standing above, could only see a small passage leading to the underground.
While waiting, Song Hao looked expectant.
Imagine the scene of obtaining a high-value treasure.
Although he is an exploration player, exploration is more of a hobby for him.
He has his own fighting team.
However, the combat group has recently been unable to survive in the Emperor's Tomb Mountains and has temporarily disbanded before finding a suitable place to level up.
As for the winter snowfield area, its strength is too low and it is not suitable for the development of their regiment.
Therefore, he has a very high demand for resources and is not the same type of person as those selfless adventurers.
What he cared more about was not the scenery along the way, but the surprises brought by treasure hunting.
Every time the treasure-hunting mouse reacts, he becomes filled with anticipation.
It’s like opening a blind box, maybe you can get unimaginable wealth.
Switch the perspective to the treasure-hunting rat, and you can see that the treasure-hunting rat is still digging underground.
Suddenly, the treasure-hunting mouse stopped and its eyes widened.
Then, it used its claws to carefully dig open the broken bones around it, and an object emitting a soft glow gradually emerged.
This is a small metal box with exquisite patterns carved on the surface. The erosion of time makes it look slightly mottled.
"Bring it back, son."
Upon hearing this, the treasure-hunting mouse grabbed the box in its mouth and went to the surface.
Jumping out of the cave, the treasure-hunting mouse placed the box in front of Song Hao, and circled around it happily, making a "squeaking" sound from its mouth, appearing extremely happy.
At this time, Song Hao also took out a piece of spirit fish meat from his space bag and threw it to the treasure-hunting rat.
When the treasure-hunting rat leaped up and grabbed the spirit fish meat and devoured it, he bent down and picked up the metal box on the ground.
The box was not locked and could be opened with just a hand.
What appeared before Song Hao's eyes was an amber triangular rune, which did not have anything special about it.
With doubts, Song Hao activated his analytical ability:
[Rule scene portal]:
Prop introduction: Space traps made by members of the Youlu Council are randomly sent to various parts of the world. The organization members are composed of creators who master the power of rules. They launch destruction plans by formulating rules and games. All game participants will be locked into groups by the Youlu Council according to their rule abilities and participate in the rule game on behalf of their groups. Failure in the game will be considered elimination, and the group of the eliminated will be destroyed by the Youlu Association.
Tip: After activating the rune, you will be transported to the regular game scene.
……
After reading the analysis twice, Song Hao finally understood it.
This thing is a trap. Once activated, you will be forced to play by the rules.
If you are eliminated, your entire clan will be exterminated.
"There are so many perverts in the monster world." Song Hao couldn't help but sigh.
As he spoke, he looked at the guide floating beside him:
"Brother Guidance, what do you think of this transformation of power?"
[It's not abnormal, because this set of rules can generate rule energy for the Phantom Council, just like the ancient gods obtain the power of fighting spirits through the arena, and players who embed the wishing souls obtain the power of wishes to satisfy their target desires. This is also a way to generate rule energy through rule logic. However, this set of rules looks complicated. The Phantom Council should have garbage rules in its hands. ]
“Will there be a chance inside?”
[Unclear. 】
"Then if I activate this spatial trap and am teleported to play the rules game, if I fail, will the Youlu Council find my clan and exterminate them?"
[What do you think?] The guide looked at Song Hao as if he was a fool.
"Hey, I have to try."
