Chapter 271 Knowledge of the Stars and the Attack on Jiuwan!

The next day.

Real world.

Special Investigation Department.

"Director Zhou, please take a look. This is the latest physical test data and examination report of Team Leader Wang."

Feng Ying handed the information to Zhou Zhengming: "Compared with the last physical examination, the bones, muscles, organs, and even cell vitality have increased by about 20-40%!"

Wang Yue (toasting to the moon), the leader of the Immortal Dragon Soul Corps of the Natural Scourge Army, is the first special investigation specialist to enter the game from the Special Investigation Department. He is now the most important "undercover" in the game.

The Special Investigation Department has undergone several rounds of reorganization and expansion.

Now two special investigation teams have been established.

Everyone works around the two investigation teams.

Wang Yue has been promoted to the leader of the first special investigation team.

He has 15 special investigation specialists and a team of nearly 200 assistants.

Zhou Zhengming will be the leader of the second investigation team. He will manage and dispatch the four or five other small and medium-sized corps that the Special Investigation Department has secretly established in the game besides the Immortal Dragon Soul Corps.

Zhou Zhengming read the report.

Although he knew that there would be changes.

But it is still hard not to be amazed!

Wang Yue's body is tested once a week, and the current data is based on the changes a week ago.

In other words, in just one week, on the basis of nearly twice the limit of ordinary people, various physical qualities and comprehensive functions have been improved by 20% to 40%.

Wang Yue can easily snatch weights that are about twice the world weightlifting record, and the hardness of his bones has reached 10 times the hardness of ordinary steel and is more resilient.

What shocked those in the know was not the change itself.

But the trend of this change showed no signs of slowing down.

According to Academician Xia, the potential of these players is far from being released. At present, only one-tenth or one-twelfth of it may be shown. Most of the energy is dormant and is ready to go in every cell.

Once a certain opportunity is encountered.

Let all the dormant potential be awakened.

Perhaps it is the moment when the extraordinary truly descends into the real world.

Wang Yue has only participated in the game for more than two months, and the entire game has been launched for only three months, but it has brought such a big change... It is difficult to predict the changes in the world in a few weeks, months, or a year and a half.

Existing life sciences.

Can't explain all this.

But it is gratifying that no negative effects have been observed so far. Instead, it has the effect of making people younger and prolonging life.

Feng Ying continued to report: "In addition, the official website of the game has released the latest announcement. A new round of player recruitment will start tonight. It is expected to issue 2,000 people every day, and a total of 20,000 people are expected to be recruited."

Zhou Zhengming: "It hasn't been long since the last round of recruitment of the Scourge Legion. A new round of recruitment has started so soon? Not only is the frequency fast, but the number of people has also increased exponentially."

Feng Ying nodded: "Now the global reservation players are boiling. According to this trend, it may not take three to five years to enter the full public beta and the abyss of the whole people."

Zhou Zhengming nodded slightly: "Although the speed is faster than expected, there is still buffer time. Recently, the above has planned to promote talks with foreign affairs and intelligence heads of various countries."

Feng Ying: "Are you going to announce the truth of the Three Kingdoms?"

Zhou Zhengming: "I think the current strategy is still mainly to delay. If you can release smoke bombs, you can release smoke bombs. Even if it really reaches the point where the paper can't cover the fire, it will not be announced to the public so quickly."

The Three Kingdoms game has been very popular recently.

The popularity and influence have surpassed any game in history, and are gradually on par with several top entertainment IPs, and even the popularity of World Cup-level events.

But it is still within the scope of people's understanding and acceptance.

In people's eyes, it is still just an awesome black technology game.

The mission of the Special Investigation Department is not only to investigate and collect more intelligence, but also to eliminate and cover up the influence beyond control as much as possible, and the out-of-control spillover of the truth that may impact the order.

However, as the Scourge continues to recruit soldiers.

The number of overseas players is also increasing.

No matter how slow the intelligence departments of various countries are, they must have grasped some clues.

One day is one day.

If it can't be delayed, then showdown and negotiate.

By then, the major forces around the world who know the truth will tacitly continue to choose to cover up and make preparations in secret based on their own interests.

If one day ordinary people generally know the truth.

Then either the impact of the game on the real world has spilled over to the extent that it cannot be covered up at all, or the forces around the world are ready to welcome the arrival of a new order and a new era.

I hope it is the latter.

Zhou Zhengming thought so.

"Director Zhou, it's time for the regular meeting."

Zhou Zhengming and Feng Ying came to the conference room.

Wang Yue was resting and came to the meeting at this moment.

Although the Special Investigation Department spends a lot of time on meetings every day, there are reasons why these meetings must be held.

"We have a lot of work to do, and every second is precious, so let's get straight to the point!" Zhou Zhengming sat down and said directly: "First, the intelligence group and the research group will report and share the latest results."

The Special Investigation Department is now a large department.

In addition to Investigation Group 1 and Investigation Group 2, there are four intelligence groups, four research groups, and multiple departments such as technology, logistics, scientific research, and operations. The total number of people is close to 2,000.

This is just the specialists within the Special Investigation Department.

If we include the peripheral departments and personnel of the Special Investigation Department, the number may be about ten times higher.

The intelligence and research teams have a large number of personnel.

Each group has different work tasks and directions.

The deputy director of the Special Investigation Department is Zhang Wei, who is currently in charge of the intelligence and research departments. He immediately stood up and reported to everyone.

"Our intelligence and research teams have made many achievements recently, with new intelligence and discoveries almost every day. Today, we are going to focus on reporting the results in three aspects."

Zhou Zhengming nodded and asked, "Which three aspects?"

Zhang Wei replied, "First, it is the latest research on the Star Land and some speculations about the identity of the lord."

"This time, Team Leader Wang and more than 80 members of the Scourge Army entered the hidden map Shengcang City together, and the intelligence and clues collected far exceeded ten times the previous time."

Indeed.

When the hidden map was first opened.

Only Ye Limeng, Hei Tong Ruige, Xiao Lingdang, and Jiubei Wangyue participated. At that time, the player level was low, the contribution points were few, and there were not many interactions that could be participated in.

This time, 85 players participated in the event. Not only did they communicate with more lords and forces, but they also had four or five hours of free time.

In the process.

Players took a lot of photos and videos, interacted with the characters of Shengcang City, and recorded a lot of local customs, cultural customs, etc.

Whether it is the amount of information or the depth and breadth, it is far more than the intelligence collected for the first time. Currently, millions of Internet weirdos are studying frame by frame with magnifying glasses.

As an investigation department.

How could they slack off?

But as the research deepened.

Everyone felt more and more that Shengcang City and even the entire Star Land were self-consistent. Although the painting style is completely different from that of the earth, every detail reveals the truth.

Zhang Wei continued: "We have observed that the Scourge Legion is a unique existence, and Lord Hang Yu is also unique. So what is the reason for this particularity?"

When hearing this.

Zhou Zhengming and Wang Yue fell into thinking.

If Wei Sanguo is a game, it is reasonable for players to be a little special or even unreasonable. After all, it is just a game, and it is impossible to achieve perfect logical self-consistency.

But now all signs indicate that Gui Sanguo is probably not a game, and both the Abyss Plane and the Land of Stars may be real places.

The various special features of the Scourge Army.

There must be a reasonable explanation, right?

Zhang Wei continued: "From the beginning to the end, the lord did not seem to mind or even curious about the strangeness of the players, and he also told the players bluntly that the Scourge Army's immortality and high explosion rate were bestowed by himself."

Wang Yue: "You mean, the lord knows the origin of our Scourge Army from the beginning to the end? It is even possible that the lord is the master behind this game!"

"This is just one of the guesses!"

Zhang Wei said: "This can also explain why the lord is so important. Even if he is not the creator of the game, he is the most critical core of this game."

Everyone at the scene looked at each other in surprise.

Zhou Zhengming: "As the most special NPC, the Lord must have more secrets hidden in him than we imagined. It is not surprising to say that he is a god disguised as a human and a messenger guiding the global human evolution!"

"That is why we must act more cautiously in the territory and defend the order of the territory as much as possible, especially to protect the Lord's personal safety!"

"At this point!"

"The purpose of this game is no longer important!"

"Because we can clearly see that this game can lead mankind into a new era and even lead all mankind into a new world!"

"We can no longer afford to lose it!"

Zhou Zhengming asked at this time: "What is the internal relationship of the Scourge?"

Zheng Qiu, the leader of the first intelligence group, immediately replied: "Nine frictions broke out in the major corps in the past three days, resulting in a total of 23 deaths, but these incidents were suppressed by the coordination of the middle and high-level of each organization."

With more people.

It is not easy to lead the team.

At present, the Scourge has more than a dozen corps.

These player forces have conflicts and frictions with each other, and even the number of group fights has begun to increase.

Among them, the members of Ye Limeng's Temple of War and Hei Tong Ruige's Wings of Freedom have the most frequent conflicts.

Even if the top management has a good relationship and has fought side by side many times.

But due to the competition for interests, there have been cracks.

Under such circumstances, the middle and lower-level personnel will definitely dislike each other, and fighting and killing in the game is normal, so PK is inevitable.

It's just that the middle and lower-level players are fighting a little.

What is worrying is that the dispute escalates and eventually turns into a comprehensive confrontation or even a fight at the level of the Corps, which will definitely affect the unity of the Scourge Corps and the development of the territory.

In the past.

Corps infighting may not be a bad thing.

This allows the official forces to fish in troubled waters and dominate.

But now the official forces headed by the Immortal Dragon Soul Corps have quietly risen and the development process is relatively smooth.

Considering that the development of overseas players is also quite rapid.

Considering the value and significance of this game.

Of course, we don't want to see infighting.

At present, the territory has also promulgated a series of rules.

For example, fighting is strictly prohibited in the city safety zone, otherwise you will be arrested by the law enforcement Canglong Guard and imprisoned in a dungeon. The most severe punishment may even deprive you of the qualifications for closed beta players.

These rules effectively prevent players from sabotaging battles within the city, but they still do not fundamentally suppress conflicts between corps, so there is still the possibility of conflicts and large-scale escalation.

We can't help but be vigilant.

If something major happens that harms collective interests.

Officials also need to have enough response plans.

"We will discuss this later." Zhou Zhengming asked, "Continue to report."

Zhang Wei then continued to report and share information and research on the other two aspects.

One of them is a summary report on the distribution of monsters, resource output, and new building functions in the latest territory of the territory. This is very useful information for player development.

The other is a comprehensive research report on the latest skills, latest skill combinations, and latest cultivation methods in the territory.

Among them new buildings and new skills appear.

It is one of the latest updates to the game.

Currently, there are many discussions and analyzes on new facilities and new skills in game forums and major social media. However, the information on the Internet is very complicated. Now the research team has compiled the information and conducted internal research to make a very clear and detailed report.

Zhang Wei said: "After the Battle of the Corpse Witch Territory, many new facilities have appeared in the territory in recent days, and one of them called the 'Library of the Stars' deserves great attention!"

While talking.

Press the slide control button.

A building in the territory appears on the screen.

Zhang Wei said: "This facility is currently the most popular facility in the territory. It is a very useful facility for both the Scourge Legion and other people in the territory, and it can play a long-term role!"

Zhou Zhengming nodded.

About the Stars Library.

There has been a lot of analysis now.

According to the current collected information, the Library of Stars does not restrict the number of people. All people in the territory can enter it. They only need to pay a certain number of contribution points and energy points to randomly obtain a secret book of stars given by the library.

Similar functional facilities.

Never happened before.

Some players heard about it from the lord.

This "Library of the Stars" is a facility that connects part of the knowledge and wisdom of the will of the stars.

Because of this, when the "Library of the Stars" appears in the territory, the people of the territory will have the opportunity to obtain more knowledge about the stars.

Zhang Wei continued: "The Library of Stars can only be entered once per Star Week, which is about thirty to forty days. You can enter it and obtain a secret book that condenses the knowledge of the stars."

“The library currently has three floors.”

"Different levels consume different amounts."

"Anyone can enter one of the floors and only needs to consume 500 contribution points + 500 essence."

"The second and third levels correspond to the second and third levels of cultivation respectively. The energy and contribution points required are ten times that of the previous level, that is, 5,000 and 50,000 respectively."

"Although the higher the level, the higher the threshold, and the greater the consumption, the quality and grade of the star secrets that can be condensed will also increase accordingly. In addition, there is a greater probability of obtaining rare books."

"..."

Zhou Zhengming asked: "How many kinds of books are there in the library, and what is the probability of extraction?"

"The research team has collected all the samples that can be collected currently."

Zhang Wei took out the report and reported: "So far, nearly two thousand players have entered the library, and most of them have announced the secrets they have obtained. We conducted statistical analysis on the relevant data and found out."

"There are many types of books in the Stars Library's collection."

"We can roughly divide them into: books of cultivation, books of attributes, books of skills, books of production, and others, a total of five categories."

"Among them, the highest proportion of 'Books of Cultivation' appears at about 40%. They are divided into several types with different functions. Some can quickly improve the progress of skill training, while others can increase the probability of success when comprehending skills."

"The 'Book of Attributes' appears in about 50% of the cases. There are six different attribute books of life, mana, strength, agility, spirit, and will."

“The above two types of books have the largest proportion but are not tradable.”

"Bound to itself, can only be used by itself."

"

"As for the 'Book of Skills' and 'Book of Production', the probability of appearing is 6% and less than 1% respectively."

"The former can obtain various random combat skills."

"The latter can obtain training methods related to weapon refining, medicine refining, and cooking. Although it seems incomplete compared to the production skills of NPCs and is very difficult to practice, it is currently the only way for players to obtain sub-professionals."

"Finally, there is a small probability that you can obtain knowledge props such as elixir formulas, weapon refining secret scrolls, and cooking recipes. These props are tradable, but the probability of their respective outputs is not yet clear."

"The above is the basic situation of the Library of Stars."

"Because the number of samples that can be counted at present is not too large, there may be other rarer star secrets that have not appeared, and the output probabilities of various types of books may also be further adjusted and corrected in the future."

"..."

After listening to the report.

Everyone nodded secretly.

Zhou Zhengming commented: "It seems that this 'Library of Stars' is really a good place. No wonder it has become the most popular building in the territory recently."

certainly.

The reason why players think the Library of Stars is good.

The main reason is that it is easier for players to obtain essence.

For ordinary lords, the biggest problem with this facility is that it consumes essence, and the consumption value is not low.

The third level consumes 50,000 essence at a time. If you draw a book like the Book of Attributes, although it can increase a small amount of attributes, it is a blood loss for any lord compared to the consumption!

The human race is different.

Zhou Zhengming asked: "What does Team Leader Wang think of the emergence of this new facility?"

Wang Yue commented: "In the long run, I think the Book of Attributes has the highest value, because the Book of Attributes, like the Attribute Pill, can directly increase our attributes, and the Attribute Book seems to be able to be superimposed multiple times."

Zhou Zhengming nodded: "Indeed, the human race's attribute growth is too weak, so many powerful skills and techniques cannot be learned. It is really significant to have one more channel to obtain attributes!"

Humans are inherently deficient.

If you want to compete with the top races in the future.

You have to find a way to stack up the attributes.

In addition to practicing skills and using attribute medicines, the people of the territory have obtained a new source of attributes, which is enough to improve the overall foundation and make the territory's troops stronger!

Six major attribute books.

Corresponding to six attributes respectively.

Attribute books of different levels have different effects on level improvement.

The first-level "Book of Life" and "Book of Mana" can only increase 5 points of life or mana, while "Book of Strength", "Book of Agility", "Book of Spirit" and "Book of Will" can only increase 1 point of corresponding attributes.

The second-level is 12 points of life, mana, or 2 points of the four major attributes.

The third-level is 40 points of life, mana, or 8 points of the four major attributes.

Less is less!

But it can be superimposed!

If you can persist for ten or twenty years.

Go to the Star Library to get books every period.

With the probability of obtaining attribute books, people can still get a lot of attributes.

Wang Yue continued: "In addition, there is a small probability in the Star Library to obtain books on production professions, such as refining, refining medicine, and cooking. Although it cannot be compared with NPCs, it is also of great significance!"

In the past.

For a long time.

Many players learned life skills to develop secondary professions, but they could not find a way.

The emergence of the Star Library now gives players some hope, but the probability of opening the Alchemy and Refining Techniques from the Star Library is too low.

Although several books have been published.

But they are all low-level alchemy and low-level refining.

These life professions can only be cultivated to level 10 at most.

In addition, because players are just ordinary Star Family members, not real Star People, they cannot obtain the blessing of the will of the stars, so the difficulty of practicing life professions will be much higher than NPCs such as Yan Ling and Bai Mu.

For example, under the same level.

Players need to consume more than ten or twenty times the essence to improve.

Although there are various restrictions, at least people can see hope, right? The major military forces can completely cultivate their own production professionals and recruit talented people among the natives for cultivation.

Wang Yue also said: "Since this 'Star Library' is open to all people, I suggest that we can increase the training of natives and let the natives in the corps enter the library to try their luck."

"If we can open a secondary professional skill book or a secret book that can assist in the cultivation of secondary professions, we can not only train the players in the corps to become logistics personnel, but also select qualified natives for training."

"Although the initial investment is huge!"

"But this investment is completely worth it!"

"This can increase the foundation and competitiveness of our forces!"

Zhou Zhengming agreed with Wang Yue's idea.

After all, the number of players at this stage is limited, so the major corps have been digging out talents from the natives for training. There are many natives with good talents, and they can play a great value in the future.

Zhang Wei continued to report.

He then talked about the skill situation.

This part is very complicated, including the latest fusion skills that appeared in the territory, as well as the evaluation of the new skill stone skills that appeared in the territory after the end of the Corpse Witch Territory Battle.

After the Corpse Witch Territory Battle.

Four blue secrets appeared in the territory.

These four blue secrets are extremely difficult to learn.

However, some players or NPCs have successfully practiced.

In addition to the "Star Library", the territory also has a skill called "Dead Soul Skill Tower".

This is a special skill tower, in which the speed of practicing dead soul skills will be faster. In addition, the skill tower comes with three skill stones, namely "Skeleton Summoning", "Zombie Summoning" and "Ghost Summoning".

Summoning skills are rare.

And these three skills are all green quality.

Generally speaking, the learning difficulty is not high, and many players have learned it.

These skills have their own characteristics and advantages, and there are many usages and combinations worth studying.

Whether it is the Special Adjustment Department or the major players, they have to sigh that the practice of skills and various moves and techniques is definitely one of the most complicated subjects in the field of trickery. As the skill foundation of the territory becomes stronger and stronger, the players' gameplay is also increasing.

Take the monks for example.

There are several schools of thought now.

There is a "transformation flow", which likes to use the dragon lizard transformation technique to fight, and the highest one can learn the hundred-eyed corpse king transformation technique, which can both carry and fight and has practical value.

There is a "summoning flow", which learns various summoning techniques such as thunder horned eagles, skeletons, zombies, ghosts, etc., so that you can flexibly deal with different opponents.

There is the "alchemy flow", which is the main direction of study for monks who study Zhang Zhongjing's alchemy. The alchemy flow is divided into auxiliary flow and poisonous elixir flow, the latter of which studies the secret art of alchemy.

Of course, there are also the more common "treatment flow" and "spell flow", which follow the rules to use various treatment spells to become a team nurse, or learn warlock-oriented attack skills to enable themselves to have spell output capabilities.

Other professions are similar.

And they can cross boundaries with each other.

They can also develop different fusion skills and even exercises based on different foundations.

According to the trend, no natural disaster army will be exactly the same, and the abilities of players in the future will definitely be varied.

One of the biggest tasks of the research team of the Special Investigation Department is to collect various skill data and evaluation results, and finally find several most cost-effective skill routes for the organization to facilitate future talent training.

...

This meeting lasted four hours.

Although the whole process was full of dry goods and no time was wasted.

But there is still a lot of content about the recent updates of the Three Kingdoms of Ghost.

Zhou Zhengming had to admit that even with the intelligence and research capabilities of the Special Investigation Division, it was impossible to fully grasp all the information and data. The development of this game has too many unknowns and unpredictable things.

Wang Yue could not continue the meeting.

Because.

He suddenly got a message.

"Bowang was attacked by the forces of the Abyss."

"The commanders of the major corps must go online as soon as possible!"

Wang Yue's body in the game has recovered. As one of the five commanders, he naturally participated in the formulation of the plan to capture the Old Wan City. At present, many of his men are gathering in Bowang, which is close to the Old Wan City.

This battle.

is very important.

And the Old Wan City obviously discovered the actions of the stars.

Although Dian Wei could not leave the core contaminated area, he could still send his men to fight. It is estimated that he wanted to recapture Bowang.

Bowang must not be lost!

At this time, the main force of the Scourge Legion has rested.

According to the plan, they will take down the Old Wan City within 24 hours.

If Bowang is lost.

It is definitely impossible to take down the Old Wan City as planned.

Wang Yue logged into the game as soon as possible without thinking!
