Chapter 193 Transnational Team (Part 1)

After being reminded by Tang Mo, after Alan thanked him, he said to Qiu Yu beside him, "Look at what's in the water tank in the initial room?"

"Water tank? I searched for that thing for a long time from the beginning, but there is nothing there. Wait!"

Qiu Yu stared at the lines on the bottom of the tank, feeling something was wrong.

He has carefully investigated everything in Xinshou Village. He has turned over every wild cat and looked at the male and female. He has tried every egg to see if it can hatch a chick, and the water tank is no exception.

At a glance, this water tank can hide a person, and the porcelain is durable, and the grooves have been worn out due to long-term use.

There was water in the water tank, and he squeezed a spell to empty it. Qiu Yu jumped into the water tank and inspected it for a long time, even checking the traces inside according to the angle of light, and finally found some differences.

The cracks on the bottom seem to be a little more.

There are some cracks on the bottom of the water tank, which cannot be seen when filling the water, and no player is willing to check the so-called lines.

If it wasn't for Tang Mo's prompt, then Qiu Yu wouldn't have paid attention to this detail at all.

After restarting the game, Qiu Yu compared the two screenshots of the bottom of the water tank, and found that the lines on the bottom had really increased by a few.

The extra lines look like a special symbol, but the strokes of the symbol are perfectly integrated into other lines, making it difficult for people to tell what the symbol refers to.

The textures of the game will not be changed at will, so if Fangcheng Studio deliberately changed the textures of the water tank, it can only explain one thing, which involves some very important function.

After realizing this, Qiu Yu showed an excited smile on his face.

really……

Fangcheng Studio, sure enough, still hides eggs!

At this moment, Qiu Yu seemed to be enlightened, and his whole body was instantly sober, and he began to search for relevant information again.

He restarted the game, and after each small stage, he would run back to observe the textures on the bottom of the water tank and compare them to see any changes.

After playing through the game again with a new character, he restarted Zhoumu and came to the water tank again, and found that there was an extra pattern inside the water tank.

From this he came to a conclusion.

That is, the texture on the bottom of the water tank is related to the number of rounds of customs clearance.

Some other players have stated before that the perfect ending needs to clear Gao Zhoumu, but when the other party said this, it was obviously a rumor, but this rumor seemed to hit the truth.

Later, Qiu Yu discovered a new problem.

How many games do you need to pass?

The clearance in the game is equivalent to a reincarnation. Every time the final boss is defeated, the player will be sent back to the beginning of the game by the final boss full of maliciousness, but the protagonist in the game does not remember anything.

The more the number of clearing cycles, the worse the plot will look, and the difficulty of the game will increase accordingly, until it is already extremely difficult in the end.

Although he didn't know how many weeks he would need in the end, Qiu Yu decided to try it himself.

He has cleared the level six times before, and he is now in the seventh week. The difficulty of the game is so high that he wants to find a modifier. Unfortunately, "Omen", like other games of Fangcheng Studio, cannot be modified at all.

After struggling to pass the seventh week, he found that the shading has changed again, but it still looks incomplete when pulled out alone.

Compared with the previous changes, he felt that he had to clear the level at least nine times.

Realizing that this had reached his limit, Qiu Yu realized that he couldn't do it alone.

"Alan, is there a dedicated game forum on the Internet?" Qiu Yu asked during a break.

"Yes, I've already found it for you. The ladder is already set up, just look at it."

"...you are really a good person."

"Don't think I don't know that you are scolding me."

Logging into the forum that Alan found, Qiu Yu found that the forum was very large, with a lot of postings every day, and most of the posts disappeared as soon as they popped up.

Foreign players are even more fanatical about the game "Omen" than Qiu Yu imagined.

These players are inherently hard-core and have a strong ability to withstand stress. It doesn't matter if they suffer when playing games, as long as they are fun.

Moreover, although the degree of freedom of "Omen" is not as great as Fangcheng Studio's other works, foreign players have never played other works, and "Omen" alone is enough for them to exclaim in disbelief.

Therefore, although it has been released for a certain period of time, the discussions in the forum are still lively, which made Qiu Yu realize that a good game is really suitable for everyone.

What makes Qiu Yu even more outrageous is that in this forum, players are not called buddies or companions, but fellow daoists.

They must praise Taoist friends, and some people even started to read translated online articles, talking about everything from fairy tales to fantasy.

Some players even learned Chinese by themselves, and used complex-looking characters like "Qi" as their IDs, which made Qiu Yu feel the magic of reality.

Players who have passed each week are called by them as having passed several trials. Currently, the strongest player has passed the eighth trial and is about to start the ninth trial.

What's even more frightening is that this section also opened up a new Chinese learning section. In order to better understand the background of "Omen", many players even started self-study, which reminded Qiu Yu that he used to play "The Era of Great Voyage". The day I memorized the world map.

Looking at the dazzling array of information and the appearance of a group of people exchanging Chinese language learning experience, Qiu Yu couldn't help feeling: "This is the correct way to open up cultural invasion."

"Don't tell me, this invasion is quite effective." Alan said while eating spicy roasted rabbit, "I have a few former colleagues who kept asking me after playing "Omen", do Chinese people follow the game? Just like here, meditate every day, become a fairy, and then beat the gods and Buddhas."

Having said that, Alan paused for a moment, then looked at Qiu Yu, and asked excitedly: "You are also a fairy, aren't you? Can you show me your skills?"

"Have you played too many games?"

"Don't do this, you have to hide a hand from your good brother."

Dissatisfied, he pushed Alan away, and Qiu Yu continued to browse the forum.

Due to the lack of relevant cultural knowledge, foreign players have not noticed many small details, and they have not discovered some methods that can speed up the improvement of strength.

But thanks to the huge base, they still discovered a lot of routines and played a lot of tricks, which benefited Qiu Yu a lot.

And they prefer to share all kinds of insights and experiences they have gained in the game, and some small stories seem a little touching.

In addition, there are still a large number of users who are tirelessly creating various fanfictions, and many of them's writing looks pretty good.

They worked hard to write a different ending for every NBC they saw in the game, but unfortunately, most of the endings ended in tragedy.

Someone once asked, why did the author have to arrange such a tragic ending? Then an author explained that under that general environment, he really couldn't think of how to use normal methods to let this group of people get a less tragic ending.

There are some that seem very straightforward, and they are often forced to intervene in the form of time travel or mechanical descending, but this will lose the atmosphere of "Omen" itself, making it impossible to write fanfiction.

Seeing this, Qiu Yu felt that the script was really good, and it was able to kill even Fanrenwen.

Qiu Yu's English is good, and there is no obstacle in reading other people's writing in the forum.

And there was Alan helping, so he quickly understood the usage of this forum, and then started searching for what he wanted.

After reviewing various guides and texts, he found that no one had mentioned the issue of cracks under the water tank, which shows that no one has discovered this easter egg.

He had no choice but to leave a post on the forum, writing his discovery in the game intact.

Not long after he finished posting this post, the post sank.

There are too many people posting in the "Omen" forum every day, and a large number of players share their experiences here. If there is nothing special, it is difficult to post.

And there are too many rumors about the perfect ending of the game. Every day, people claim to have discovered new easter eggs, but in the end they are basically rumors.

Finding that the post was down, Qiu Yu could only return to "Omen", continue the game, and pay attention to the forum from time to time to see if anyone found something interesting.

Not long after, a player logged into the forum. Start searching for information.

Eric is one of the few players on the forum who has reached the ninth trial.

The plot of "Omen" gave him a great shock, making him forget about food and drink every day, and focus on finding the perfect ending.

Although many players stated that there is no so-called perfect ending in this game, there is only the deepest despair in the game.

However, a small number of players who have played other games of Fangcheng Studio said that there must be easter eggs in the studio’s games, and easter eggs will reverse everything.

Although he has not played other games, he believes that the perfect ending of the game must exist.

This belief has become one of his beliefs. Even if he was tortured to death by the ninth week of the game, he still upholds this original intention and continues to play the game.

Tonight, he searched for information in the forum as usual, flipping through page by page in chronological order.

He also saw Qiu Yu's post, but he just paused for a moment, and then started to read the next one.

There were more than 300 rumors like this every day during the peak period.

Although it has gradually subsided now, there are still more than a dozen of them every day, and most of them are logical and well-organized. They seem to be true, but they are all rumors in the end.

After flipping through the new posts, Eric didn't find what he wanted, so he restarted the game again.

Between games, he took out his notebook and reworked his plan.

By the ninth week, the difficulty of the game has risen to an incredible level, which can be called an extremely masochistic game.

The difficulty of monsters will become higher, the number of one-hit kills will increase, and emergencies will become more frequent, and most of them will bring negative results.

A little carelessness, the whole game is lost.

In the nine-week game, time management must be in place. The game itself has a setting of time loss, so what to do needs to be planned in advance, so as not to have time to deal with many events.

In this case, personal skills are not very important anymore, because the skills are not enough, and the first few weeks are simply not passable.

He didn't broadcast live today, but was going to challenge the content of the nine weeks from the beginning.

Just entering the game, he was about to hurry up and leave here, and then he was attracted by the water tank beside him.

Originally, he didn't want to care about this thing, but recalling the posts he had read before, Eric Zong felt a little uneasy.

He walked over in a mysterious way, lighted up the water in the tank, and then began to observe the lines at the bottom.

At first, he didn't find any problems.

But just when he wanted to leave, the change of angle made him find that the lines at the bottom seemed to be some kind of symbols.

Looking at it from this angle, he found that the pattern did not appear to be formed naturally, but was left on purpose by someone.

After cutting out this pattern and searching it by means of image search, he found that this symbol is similar to some kind of rune in Taoism, but it always feels like it is not complete.

Like Qiu Yu, he also restarted a game, and then compared the pictures from the weekend, and found that this picture was really unusual.

As an anchor who knows a lot about the game, he knows that this thing means that the developers of the game have buried an easter egg here, and this easter egg may mean the real perfect ending.

At this moment, Eric's heart jumped wildly.

He couldn't wait to log in to the forum again, found the post sent by Qiu Yu, and replied in it: [I verified it once, and then confirmed that the content of this post is true. There are indeed cracks under the water tank in the original room, and this is what the crack pattern looks like. 】

Crack.jpg

【Friend Qiu Yu, how did you find this easter egg? What do these cracks have to do with it? 】

Before seeing Eric's reply, Qiu Yu was browsing the forum boredly.

When he saw this post appear, he immediately came to the spirit, and then quickly replied:

【Fellow Daoist Eric, we got this easter egg after asking about it. The person who revealed the easter egg is the original author of Omen, so I believe in the authenticity of this product. So far I have only gone through seven trials. But I can be sure that the more trials we experience, the more lines we have, and the closer we are to the truth. 】

Eric: [So that's the case, then Fellow Daoist Qiu, how many trials do you think it will take to finally activate this symbol? 】

[Probably Kunou. 】

Seeing this reply, Eric breathed a sigh of relief.

He is now in the ninth week, as long as he works hard, he may not be able to overcome the final difficulty and see the final outcome.

But if he wants to find the easter eggs as soon as possible, he needs more people to help him.

So, he asked in the post: [Daoist Qiu Yu, are you from Huaxia? I want to find someone to overcome this difficulty together, would you like to come with me? 】

【certainly. 】

A temporary "Tianmo" transnational strategy team was established just like that.
