Chapter 215 Offline Interaction Among the Bosses! The Sea of Skeletons Surrounds Shansang City!
Official website forum.
The appearance of a post has attracted a lot of attention.
Post title: "Live broadcast of the offline summit of the beta boss!"
Because the convening of the offline exchange meeting of the Three Kingdoms Magic City has attracted a lot of attention.
When the identities of the bosses who are outstanding in the game and have a great influence are exposed, this quickly caused a sensation and discussion in the forum. There are many replies like this under the post.
"Oh my god, no, the boss Ye Limeng is actually Ye Meng, a well-known domestic entrepreneur and investment tycoon!"
"Ye Meng? This boss is already in his sixties!"
"Shock! The boss Xiao Lingdang is an underage little loli!"
"Shock! Chenxi sister is actually a super academic master and is currently an assistant professor at Yanda University!"
"Shock! The boss who chopped down the street is actually a gentle and easy-going handsome doctor in real life!"
"Top warlock Xiao Ma Ge, I recognized this thief, he used to be a The CEO of a well-known game company has released many games that are deceptive!"
"Wow, the girl finally showed her face. She is so beautiful in person? She can definitely be a celebrity on the Internet!"
"Artist Pai, this explosion maniac is actually a lawyer, can you believe it!"
"..."
Most of the players invited to participate in the event this time are senior players of the first test, such as Hei Tong Rui Ge, Ye Li Meng, Gu Zhou, etc. In addition, there are also some extremely outstanding rising stars such as Jiubei Wangyue.
The total number of people reached hundreds.
Many of them have a huge contrast between their real age, occupation or image and the image of the game characters, so that many people were surprised and called him a good guy.
Ye Meng came to Zhao Rui.
"Brother Rui, I finally saw the real person. It's true that heroes come from young people!"
The two top leaders shook hands.
Ye Meng noticed two young men standing behind Zhao Rui, one of whom was wearing glasses, gentle and refined, with a handsome face like a high school student, and the other was thin and had dyed yellow hair, like a gangster.
"Who are these two?"
"Zhang Xiaoyu, you can just call me Xianyu Tuci, as I am called in the game!"
The shy man with glasses said so, while the other yellow-haired man took the initiative to shake hands.
"Old Ye, I'm Lao Zhu, don't you recognize me!"
"Lao Zhu? Midnight pig killer!"
Ye Limeng looked at the yellow-haired skinny monkey in front of him with surprise, "You don't look fat, why in the game..."
The yellow-haired skinny monkey laughed and said, "I have had some physical problems since I was a child, and I have been malnourished for a long time. I can't gain weight no matter how much I eat. I always look skinny, so I have always hoped to be a fat man. This dream has come true in the game!"
Sure enough!
The game is very different from reality!
Zhang Xiaoyu, a shy and handsome man with glasses, is actually a member of the Free Wing Corps, who likes to poke people in the ass and calls himself Zhao Zilong of the Scourge Army.
Midnight Pig Killer, who has always regarded himself as a fat man and is the top monk player in the game, is actually a skinny young man in real life, and his name is Zhu Hou.
In fact, Zhao Rui, Zhang Xiaoyu, and Zhu Hou were also surprised by Ye Limeng's true identity.
Although they knew that the other party was very rich, they never expected that he would have such a big background.
Xiao Lingdang, Chenxi, Chimei Wangliang, three high-level officials of Shenyu Palace also came. These three are beautiful women with extremely high appearance, which naturally attracted a lot of topics and attention.
Xiao Lingdang is a loli type.
Chenxi is an intellectual beauty type.
Of course, the most surprising thing is Chimei Wangliang. Her face-pinching image in the game is ordinary, and this ID name also makes people think that she is a powerful person who doesn't care about her face, but in fact she may be the most beautiful goddess-level figure in Shenyu Palace.
Although everyone has been fighting side by side for a long time online.
But it is the first time to meet offline.
So it is very fresh.
Soon after everyone arrived.
The dinner prepared by the organizer is about to begin.
Before that.
"Hello, elites of the natural disaster army."
At this time, a middle-aged man with a mature temperament and a dignified appearance walked to the stage, "Please allow me to make a brief self-introduction. My name is Zhou Zhengming. I am currently the staff member responsible for connecting and communicating with everyone in the Gui Three Kingdoms project. I may deal with you frequently in the future!"
After everyone arrived and signed in.
Everyone received an overview of the exchange process.
This process table details the matters and contents of the two-day period, including the introduction of Zhou Zhengming in front of him. He is a person with a large number of various titles and a very high level.
It is worthy of being a game made by the official father!
Zhou Zhengming pretended to be the official representative of Gui Sanguo without blushing or beating his heart on the stage.
Actually, strictly speaking.
It can't be said that he was pretending.
If you listen carefully to Zhou Zhengming's self-narration and introduction, you will find that he never said that the game "Guei Sanguo" was developed by any department, and the major official reports and manuscripts did not clearly state that Gui Sanguo itself had any relationship with the country.
You misunderstood.
What does it have to do with our Special Investigation Department?
Now almost everyone thinks that "Guei Sanguo" is an official game. This is purely their own subjective judgment. The official has never admitted this, and of course has never made any denial.
Zhou Zhengming said: "Guei Sanguo is a great masterpiece. As an automatically generated metaverse world with infinite capacity in theory, it has great significance for the global economy, technology, politics and business, natural environment, and even human individuals themselves, and has the ability to bring subversive influence and changes to the world."
"Please remember!"
"Guei Sanguo is not just a game!"
"We attach great importance to this from top to bottom, and have already elevated it to the level of national long-term strategy. You are the pioneers of this epoch-making great change!"
Everyone was stunned at first.
Everyone showed shock and surprise.
Although I knew that this game was not simple, this height is too exaggerated!
Zhou Zhengming's words are basically equivalent to the official endorsement, so that everyone can be more assured to invest in the world of Abyss Three Kingdoms... There has never been a game in history that can reach such a height, which reminds people of the popular online novels with traditional online game themes in the early years.
When I read some traditional online game novels, there were often scenes of direct exchange of real-world currency and game currency, and even the plot of the power structure in the game directly affecting the real world. At that time, I just thought it was too outrageous, too exaggerated and too ridiculous.
Fighting and killing in a virtual world.
Everything is just some data and code. How can it be deeply linked to reality?
Now it seems that it may not be!
In any case, Zhou Zhengming's words gave everyone a reassurance.
After these words spread on the Internet tonight, it is estimated that they will cause heated discussions in mainstream media and social platforms. There will definitely be more big consortiums, big forces, and big companies to notice this game and invest in it.
This will cause greater competition.
And greater competition will bring higher prosperity.
The commercial value of Weird Three Kingdoms and its derivatives will be unprecedented.
Of course, at the same time, there will definitely be a lot of criticism.
Countless traditional parents, educators, public intellectuals, etc. will definitely criticize and criticize it.
When Zhou Zhengming saw the expressions of the members of the Disaster Army on the stage, he knew that part of the meaning of this meeting had been achieved. No matter what kind of public opinion storm will be caused after tonight, at least with the endorsement of the national level, more talent and capital will be willing to invest in this game.
Maybe.
Some people don’t understand at this stage.
It will take less than a year.
Everyone will understand the meaning and importance of today’s words!
Zhou Zhengming is cheering everyone up and giving all the players who are playing Weird Three Kingdoms a fair name, so that more people will pay more attention to this game and increase investment without exposing the truth, thereby promoting the further popularization of Weird Three Kingdoms.
After the speech.
There was warm applause at the scene.
Someone asked a question: "Director Zhou, we want to know how the game "The Three Kingdoms of Ghost" was made. Can you tell us about the origin of the team behind the scenes and the cutting-edge technology used?"
As soon as this was said.
Everyone else at the scene fell silent.
Because this is also of great interest to everyone.
Zhou Zhengming thought to himself, if humans can really make such a game, I am afraid that even if they are not deified on the spot, they have already ascended mechanically, right? There is no answer to this question at all, but the emergence of this question itself is within his expectations.
"I am very sorry, we cannot announce the answer to this question for the time being!"
Zhou Zhengming pretended to be mysterious and said: "The Three Kingdoms of Ghost involves the highest level of confidentiality. I don't know all the secrets in it. Even if I know some of them, I can't reveal them at present."
"I understand!"
"This is called technical blockade!"
"What if it is learned by foreigners?"
"Don't ask such questions in the future!"
"..."
The players did not ask questions in this regard, but were very considerate of Zhou Zhengming's difficulties.
But soon someone raised a new question.
For example, whether the NPCs in the game are truly intelligent.
Another example is whether the progress and events in the game are planned behind the scenes.
Some people directly asked about the setting of the plot, or the number of game quotas.
Zhou Zhengming replied: "The Three Kingdoms of Ghost is fundamentally different from the games you have come into contact with in the past. This is not a pre-set programmatic game, but a self-generated open world."
"From a country or a territory to a blade of grass or a grain of sand, everything is automatically generated, including all NPCs and plot events."
"From the moment this game starts operating, all content, events and character development are not pre-set results, but the result of infinite automatic evolution of super-large chaos model + self-generated AI. We cannot directly interfere with the development, so there are infinite possibilities."
"Maybe you shouldn't treat it as a game."
"But as a metaverse."
"As for the lords and territories... they are the core cornerstones of this metaverse. As long as the lords and territories are still there, this world can theoretically expand infinitely and eventually be large enough to accommodate the people of the whole country and even all mankind!"
So that's it!
Everyone suddenly realized it!
Although someone had guessed it a long time ago.
But it was still shocking to get confirmation from the official figures.
This is indeed a great game. The whole world is like a set of extremely sophisticated and complex giant sandboxes, and the behavior of each player may affect it.
"Director Zhou!"
Feng Ying ran up from the stage.
She interrupted the leader who was talking nonsense.
Zhou Zhengming was confused: "What happened?"
Feng Ying looked anxious: "The situation in Woniu Mountain has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and Shansang City has been surrounded!"
"What?"
Zhou Zhengming was shocked.
Isn't General Zhou Cang leading his troops to counterattack Huangmei Township? Why did the enemy push back to Shansang City in just a short while? This is impossible, what happened!
At the same time.
The corps commanders and players at the scene also received the news.
This incident obviously happened suddenly, so that people were a little caught off guard.
"Oh no!"
"There is an emergency!"
"The territory is in danger!"
"We have to support the territory!"
"Now is not the time for a meeting!"
"..."
Although the specific situation has not been figured out yet, after learning that the territory may be in danger, the elites and senior officials of the Calamity Army at the scene could not sit still and stood up immediately.
"Don't worry!"
Zhou Zhengming shouted to everyone with a microphone: "We have already made relevant plans to deal with this situation. Now a large number of the most advanced game pods have been installed in the hall next door. You can directly enter the game through these devices!"
Everyone was refreshed.
The official arrangement is really thoughtful!
Game pods are different from game helmets. The latter can only be online for a few hours, while game pods can theoretically be online for 20 to 30 hours without eating or drinking.
If you encounter a fierce battle.
Of course, the game pod is more convenient.
Everyone entered the game pod equipment and logged into the game as soon as possible.
The moment before, everyone was still drinking and talking in the banquet hall, but within a few minutes, everyone logged into the game to fight. Such a change is somewhat dramatic, which made the media present dumbfounded.
At the same time.
In a suite of the hotel.
Various instruments and electronic equipment are connected here.
Twenty or thirty staff members in white coats are busy.
Zhou Zhengming found one of the old men and asked, "How is the situation?"
Academician Xia pushed his glasses and said, "Although it was an accident, we came just in time. We have installed the most advanced detection and scanning equipment in these game cabins, which can collect the required data without the players knowing it!"
"That's good!"
Zhou Zhengming nodded with satisfaction.
This time, many players were summoned here.
In fact, it was also to obtain more test samples.
These data can help the Special Investigation Department better understand the impact of the Three Kingdoms on the human body, and even deduce the development speed of this impact through them, and whether there is a possibility of a full outbreak and a fundamental change in people.
"This sudden crisis has helped us, giving us enough opportunities and time to complete data collection, and the players will definitely not be aware of it in the process."
Zhou Zhengming was satisfied.
At the same time, he also remained confused.
Although he was not a player, he had been paying attention to the situation in the territory. Why did the situation suddenly take a sharp turn for the worse? What happened in Woniushan in the past few hours!
…………
If you want to figure this out.
Then we have to go back to two or three hours ago.
At this time, Zhou Cang led a hundred-man Canglong Guard, plus a thousand newly recruited natural disaster soldiers, and was about to leave Shansang City and go directly to Huangmei Township to perform combat missions.
"General Zhou, be careful!"
Wen Pin said: "After all, we are facing a star lord!"
Zhou Cang smiled and said: "Even if they are also star lords, no lord can compare with our lord. As far as I know, the other party is just a group of lowly skeletons."
Wen Pin shook his head and said, "A lion needs to go all out to fight a rabbit, not to mention that the alien race that can become the Lord of the Stars is definitely not an ordinary person. Please be extremely careful to avoid falling into the enemy's trap."
"That makes sense!"
Zhou Cang can be said to have listened.
He clasped his fists and said, "Then I will leave Shansang City to General Wen!"
Wen Pin said confidently, "With Wen stationed here, even if a strong enemy attacks, they will return empty-handed!"
After that.
Officially set off.
The players of the Scourge Army were very excited.
"The Lord has sent the newly conquered Wen Pin! He is a very powerful NPC!"
"Hahaha, there is a Zhou Cang and a Wen Pin, how can this lineup not be able to stop the invasion of aliens?"
"That's right!"
"The aliens invading the territory this time are just a group of skeleton soldiers. This race is probably not as strong as the dragon lizards we encountered before. With the current luxurious formation of our territory, there will definitely be no problem."
"..."
The players of the Scourge were full of confidence. Because they had their own spirit horses, they arrived at the area where Huangmei Township was located in less than an hour of marching. Huangmei Township was still shrouded in cold white fog.
"Is this the area occupied by aliens?"
King Arthur glanced over: "It doesn't look like the scale is very large!"
There are not many people from the four major corps among this group of players, because most of the senior leaders of the four major corps are resting or participating in the offline exchange conference in the Magic City, so they just missed this task.
However.
The fifth corps.
There are quite a few players of Ragnarok.
The leader of this corps, King Arthur, is among them.
King Arthur is now a well-known player leader. His level has reached level 20, and his equipment is quite luxurious. There are dozens of elite players around him.
Although most of them are players from Europe and the United States, there are also some people from South Korea, Sakura, and India.
These people may not obey King Arthur, and they also want to form a corps force representing their own country, but the current personnel are too scarce and their own strength is not enough, so they can only temporarily be in Ragnarok and join other non-Xia players for warmth.
A 12-level Sakura Ranger player with the ID "Batdaosai" said: "I heard that the reward for killing aliens is very generous."
Dark Lucifer said: "This information has been confirmed."
Iron Fist Johnson: "Then this is a good opportunity to make a lot of money, we can't just let it go!"
Athena: "Let's ask General Zhou!"
A group of players led by King Arthur immediately came to Zhou Cang. They asked Zhou Cang to let the Scourge Army be the vanguard, and Zhou Cang did not refuse this.
Zhou Cang knew.
Although there are many factions in the Scourge Army.
But as long as they are in the Scourge Army, they are soldiers blessed by the Lord himself. They can produce more spoils after killing the target, and with the characteristics of immortality, there is no loss even if they die.
Because of this, although the Scourge Army is not very strong.
But it has always been the pioneering corps of the territory.
King Arthur was overjoyed after getting Zhou Cang's consent. As one of the strongest and most advanced people in the Scourge Army, and the only person at the level of a regiment leader, he naturally became the temporary commander of this army.
This made King Arthur very excited!
He always felt that he would not lose to Ye Limeng, Hei Tong Rui Ge and the like.
The reason why these people are so prestigious now is purely because they have the advantage of being the first mover. Today, these regiment leaders and most of the top players are not here, and they can finally be the leaders of the Scourge.
"Action!"
King Arthur quickly made tactical arrangements, with the ranger responsible for assault and luring the enemy, the warrior responsible for building the defense line, the warlock responsible for fire support, and the monk providing assistance, and then launched an attack on Huangmei Township.
When the Scourge entered the ice fog.
They were soon counterattacked by the skeleton troops.
However, the level of these skeleton troops was not high, generally only around level 10, and only a few reached level 11, the second-level strength, but facing the orderly attack of the Scourge, they could not get any advantage.
After a while.
One or two hundred skeletons were crushed.
The number of casualties on the Scourge side was only over ten.
[You picked up the spoils, Abyss Essence +4000, Magic Crystal +20, Skeleton Greatsword (Dead Skeleton) +1, Skeleton Helmet (Dead Skeleton) +1! ]
[You picked up the loot, Abyssal Essence +4000, Magic Crystal +20, Skeleton Crossbow (Dead Skeleton) +1, Skeleton Armguard (Dead Skeleton) +1! ]
[…]
"Fuck!"
"The Essence and Magic Crystal are too abundant!"
"Everyone, work harder, there are at least 1,800 skeletons here, clean them all up and don't let any one go!"
"Hahaha!"
"This is a great deal!"
"…"
The morale of the Scourge Army was high and they continued to attack.
However, as they got closer to the blessing point in Huangmei Township, they also found that the strength of the skeletons they encountered was obviously getting stronger. Most of the undead skeletons wandering around the periphery were of level 10, with a few second-level strengths at most, so it was so easy to deal with them. Near the blessing point in Huangmei Township, the skeletons encountered here were almost all second-level strengths, and their levels were generally between level 11 and level 15. In addition, there were some powerful troops such as skeleton cavalry, which was still difficult to deal with with the strength of this natural disaster army. In addition, the players also saw that the deserted village in Huangmei Township had been transformed. A circle of solid and tall bone walls appeared around the village, and several high towers emitting the breath of stars appeared inside, which meant that a relatively complete defense system had been built here. It was not easy to break through in this situation. "Don't fight with them!" "Take back the blessing point first!" King Arthur immediately ordered when he saw this situation. One of the optional conditions for completing the mission this time is to take the blessing point.
As long as the blessing point is taken, not only can the mission be completed, but also troops can be transferred through the blessing point. Even if the next battle is blocked, troops can be replenished through Shansang City.
But just when the player launched a breakthrough in the direction of the deserted village.
Suddenly a pale knife light swept across.
At least three or four second-level players.
Killed instantly!
"Not good!"
"There are strong ones!"
"Retreat first!"
The Scourge Army quickly retreated tactically.
Everyone saw the skeleton troops in front slowly separated.
A huge and burly skeleton knight walked out of it.
This skeleton was wearing black armor, which formed a sharp contrast with the pale bones. There was a blue ghost fire flowing between the bones, and the weapon he held was a huge long-handled sword.
[Dead Skeleton General: Zhang Shuo], a level 21 commander-level unit... Introduction: He was once a general of Jiangxia County, but now he has been transformed into a dependent by the Lord of the Stars, and has since become a skeleton general under the Lord's command.
Skeleton General Zhang Shuo's eyes swept across the scene in front of him.
The flames in his empty eye sockets flickered slightly, and a gloomy voice came out of his body: "Is it a human lord?"
"What the hell?"
"It seems to be a BOSS!"
"How can it talk!"
"From his name, it seems that this is not a hero unit from the stars, but a general of Jiangxia County in a certain period of the Three Kingdoms, but how did it become like this."
"It is probably related to the lord behind the scenes!"
"He has surrendered to the alien Lord of the Stars!"
"It turned out to be a traitor!"
"..."
It was obviously the first time that the players saw such a character.
This guy named Zhang Shuo was not demonized. He did not have any abyss aura on him. Instead, he exuded the aura from the stars, which could only mean that he was transformed from the racial level.
Zhang Shuo's eyes swept over the Scourge Army in front of him.
His attention then fell on Zhou Cang who had not made any move in the distance.
"You fell into the trap!"
"What do you mean?"
The faces of King Arthur and others changed slightly.
Zhang Shuo laughed coldly: "Our target is Shansang City. Huangmei Township is just a bait to attract troops. The battle in Shansang City must have begun at this moment."
Everyone was shocked.
If what this skeleton said was true.
Then Shansang City is in danger?
Zhou Cang brought out the Canglong Guards. There were only some local troops in Shansang City, and their combat effectiveness was very limited.
The skeletons of the dead concentrated a large number of troops to attack Shansang City. It was not easy to stop Shansang City with its defense. Once Shansang City fell, the most important strategic fulcrum of Woniu Mountain would be gone.
At that time, I am afraid that I can only abandon Woniu Mountain.
The loss of the territory would be very heavy.
"Don't listen to his alarmist words. If there really is a large number of troops heading to Shansang City, how could we not see them? Could it be that this entire army will be invisible?"
"That's right!"
"Let's take this guy down first!"
No matter whether what Zhang Shuo said is true or not.
It's too late to rush back now.
Instead of losing our composure at this moment, it's better to strengthen the offensive. As long as we take back the blessing point, everyone can rush back to Shansang City in time.
…………
Hang Yu is in the Lord's Castle.
Pay attention to the changes in the situation behind the scenes.
What Skeleton General Zhang Shuo said was not bluffing, because at this moment the ground near Shansang City changed, and the whole land gradually turned dark purple and kept wriggling like a swamp.
Something surprising happened.
Thousands of skeletons were "spitted out" by the purple-black mud.
There are too many!
Densely packed!
It was like a sea of skeletons.
Hang Yu understood what was going on when he saw this. As Zhang Shuo said, Huangmei Township was just a cover.
What the enemy lord really wanted was Shansang City. They should have used a secret method of earth escape to secretly ambush a large group of ambushes near Shansang City through underground transmission.
Then they occupied Huangmei Township.
The purpose was to disperse Shansang's forces.
In this way, they could launch a fierce attack in time, so that they could take down the city in the shortest time before Hang Yu reacted or reinforced, and thus radiate the entire Woniu Mountain area in one fell swoop.
Although the idea was good.
But this was too much to underestimate Hang Yu.
Although Zhou Cang left Shansang City with the most elite Canglong Guards and the Natural Disaster Army, there were only some indigenous defenders in Shansang City at present, and their combat effectiveness was very weak, but they could not be easily broken and posed a threat.
The reason was simple.
Hang Yu was safe.
He had arranged Wen Pin to go there.
How easy is it to break through the defense with this existence?
At the same time, the news that Shansang City was surrounded by the skeleton army spread quickly. Those elites of the natural disaster army who were resting and participating in offline activities received the news and went online as soon as possible to prepare to go to Shansang City to participate in the war.
Hang Yu still did not move.
He is the last insurance of the territory.
Before the enemy lord shows up, there are still too many variables, so it is not easy to go down in person.
