Chapter 290 The Weird and Crazy Sea of Void
Soon after.
"Meet the Lord!"
Five hundred people gathered in the core hall.
Hang Yu opened the teleportation rights of "Sea of Eternal Darkness" for them.
These five hundred people will represent the territory to participate in the Lord Competition.
310 people were selected from the five major corps.
A dozen small and medium corps and 140 individual players.
The other 50 people include Dian Wei, Jia Xu, Zhou Cang, Wen Pin, Zhang Zhongjing, plus many Xuanhu lieutenants and Xuanhu Guard elites, all of whom are worthy of training.
Hang Yu can train even a nearly blank level 1 family member into a powerful Canglong Guard. These natives who are born with good qualifications and talents require lower resources and costs, and the upper limit they can obtain is also higher.
"The rewards for this mission are too rich, each person can get up to one million contribution points!"
Ye Limeng couldn't help but say: "On average, about sixty people from our five major corps were selected to participate in the event. If everyone can get one million contribution points, wouldn't it be possible to recharge more than 60 million on average?!"
Although it's too ideal.
But it's really exciting!
In the past two days, the major players have worked hard and emptied their pockets to build the territory. Even the existence of the five major corps leaders doesn't have many contribution points left in their pockets at this moment.
After a long drought, there is a good rain!
The large-scale event comes at the right time!
And the richer the mission rewards, the more complex and difficult the mission is, which also means the greater the gains in the process!
Players don't know the specific situation of the event map yet, but they know that this event is the official competition of the Lord Competition.
This means.
There are one thousand lords participating at the same time.
That's one thousand alien star territories!
Players have no competitors in their eyes, only big fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered!
You must perform well, not only to make a big profit, but also for the honor and development of the territory!
Other people were also excited, such as Zhao Xian, Deng Hong, and Zhou Ji, the Xuanhu Guards. They realized that this action was of great significance to the territory, so it would be a huge opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
Dian Wei was particularly eager to make meritorious contributions.
After all, Zou Wan, who joined the territory at the same time.
Recently, he has played a huge role in the construction and transformation of the territory.
He is a warrior who can do nothing but fight, so he has not made any merit so far, but has consumed a lot of resources in the territory. It is not easy to wait for the opportunity, so he must seize the opportunity to play his value.
Jia Xu looked depressed. He did not sign up at all, but was selected by the lord to participate in this action.
The reason is very simple.
This action is extremely dangerous.
A think tank and military advisor accompanying the army are indispensable.
Sure enough, it is not so easy to lie down. It is not enough to find a guy who can fight better than you.
If you want to live a completely lazy life, you have to find a military advisor who is smarter than you for the territory.
This is difficult!
Jia Xu is confident that there are many people who can fight better than him, but it is probably difficult to find a military advisor who is more cunning than him. At least there is no hope in the short term.
Whatever.
Dian Wei and Wen Pin are in the front.
These idiots are eager to do the hard work.
It's not bad to hide behind these people and fish for credit.
"The territory will soon open the transmission to the Sea of Eternal Darkness. This lord will announce the details of this round of competition next."
Hang Yu then announced the rules of the competition.
After listening to the relevant situation.
The player was shocked.
"What?"
"Doesn't this sound like the Abyss version of PUBG?"
"Although there are some differences, it feels pretty much the same!"
"Good luck, we'll have PUBG tonight!"
"Hahaha, interesting, I can't wait!"
"..."
Players judged from the rules that the format of this Lords' Contest is a battle royale.
The Will of the Stars banished the representative troops of a thousand territories to a chaotic and desolate place, allowing these territories to fight each other and finally select a PUBG king and rank them according to the performance of the territories.
In short, the rule is just one sentence: survive by any means necessary.
The longer you live, the higher your rating will be.
Hang Yu asked: "Do you have any other questions?"
Xiao Lingdang immediately raised her hand: "Lord, the announcement said that we are the first batch of participants in the event. Does this mean that there will be a second and third batch?"
Hang Yu: "The number of participants in the Lord's Competition is not fixed. As long as we can continue to defeat and annex the blessings of our competitors, we can add more admission quotas for our territory."
The players nodded one after another.
"I see!"
"It seems that if you want to win the game."
"It's not advisable to just survive until the end."
"Otherwise, if others are all rushing to recruit soldiers, we are still 500 people and will definitely lose!"
"Proactive and aggressive is the kingly way!"
"..."
The Scourge is not afraid of difficulties.
Every player is sharpening their knives.
Hang Yu is also full of confidence in them.
The number of troops that a territory can invest in the game is not fixed.
It can be increased through development and annexation, and it may also be reduced in war or survival.
Because no matter what territory it is, the number of troops that can participate in the competition is fixed. If one dies, there will be no other soldiers to replace.
This means.
You must be extremely cautious!
Otherwise, once the participating troops are wiped out.
Even if the territory still has millions of troops, they can only stare blankly!
Hang Yu is different. His natural disaster army is immortal and has almost zero trial and error costs, which will gain huge advantages in the process of survival in the abyss and even in the war!
He raised his glass and looked at the moon and asked again: "Lord, if we enter the Sea of Eternal Darkness and want to return to the territory, are there any restrictions?"
This question is also of concern to everyone.
According to the information in the event announcement, this event will last up to fifteen days. If you cannot return to the territory freely after participating in the event, if there is an emergency in the territory, you will inevitably be passive.
"There is no restriction!"
Hang Yu answered.
This way, everyone can rest assured.
This means that the essence of participating in the event is just to open a new map that can be teleported to and spawn monsters at any time. It will not affect the territory at all. It is just a benefit.
No more questions.
The star consciousness sent a prompt.
"The temporary teleportation permission to the Sea of Eternal Darkness has been opened!" Hang Yu officially announced the opening of this event, "Everyone start teleporting immediately!"
"Yes!"
The Scourge Army couldn't wait any longer.
For fear of wasting a second, they would start teleporting immediately.
Hang Yu continued: "Wenhe, Zhongye, you are responsible for commanding the entire army and the activities of the airship."
Jia Xu: "Yes!"
Wen Pin said loudly: "For the honor of the human race and the honor of the territory, I will go all out and never let the lord down!"
Hang Yu nodded: "Go!"
Two minutes later.
Everyone disappeared.
They have teleported to the Sea of Eternal Darkness on behalf of the territory.
From now until the end of the event, all the main city-level blessing points, including the main city of Luoshui, can be teleported to the Sea of Eternal Darkness.
Of course.
If you want to exit the event map.
You will also return to the blessing node used when entering.
Although Hang Yu has obtained a lot of useful information from Principal Long, he does not know much about the Sea of Eternal Darkness and cannot provide additional attention. He can only observe and collect information from the perspective of the lord.
"I've waited for so long."
"It's finally started!"
Hang Yu is looking forward to the Lord Competition.
Unlike the challenge of the Colossus Maze in the qualifying round.
The official competition is a comprehensive test of the strength, ability, and luck of the major lords. The participating territories will directly collide and fight, and even Hang Yu is not absolutely sure that he can win the championship.
However.
I have already participated.
Naturally, I want to achieve better results as much as possible.
Among the participating lords, there are a large number of superior races.
These races have too many types of troops and are very powerful. Even if a third-level human territory is led by strong men like Jia Xu and Dian Wei, it is difficult to gain an advantage against them, especially a territory that has reached the fourth level.
Want to stand out from this competition.
The current strength is obviously not enough.
Hang Yu realized that he must break through to the fourth level as soon as possible.
At this moment, Hang Yu has lit up all the third-level talents. As long as he is willing, he can break through to the fourth level at any time. The reason why he did not break through immediately is purely because he deliberately slowed down before opening a new map.
Two or three days later.
The territory will open a new map.
The day of opening a new map is the time to break through the level.
Hang Yu asked: "Xiao Ba, report the current resource situation!"
Xiao Ba immediately said: "The current number of magic crystals available in the territory is -656,000, 1.539 million first-level material essences, 234,000 second-level material essences, and -61,000 third-level material essences."
"The current territory equipment reserves are 40,200 first-level equipment, 26,500 second-level equipment, and 14,100 third-level equipment."
"The current spot reserves of various materials in the territory are 1.489 million first-level materials, 467,000 second-level materials, and 30,000 third-level materials."
"The current inventory of territory attribute pills is 6,422, and the inventory of black dragon spirit horse bone whistles is 253."
"..."
Xiao Ba quickly reported the inventory of various territories as required.
Among them, the magic crystal reserves.
It was actually more than -650,000.
This is not to say that Hang Yu borrowed money.
It's simply because too much advance payment has caused the finances to fall into deficit
Hang Yu currently has a magic crystal of several hundred thousand in his hand. The reason why Xiao Ba counted this part of the reserve as a negative number is that the budget for the next period of time is included in it. Only in this way can the financial situation be more intuitively reflected.
During this period.
The financial expenditure of the territory is too high!
Just the 3,000 powerful zombies and 5,000 iron skeletons that are ready to be delivered to the players will cost the territory up to 700,000 magic crystals, and they must be delivered within the next week.
In addition.
Hang Yu also plans to increase the number of third-level abyss barracks to 120 within seven days.
In this way, the population limit of the territory's clans will be increased to 48,000.
In other words, in addition to the 1,000 vacancies occupied by the Canglong Guard, the size of the natural disaster army will reach nearly 47,000 within two weeks, and a considerable amount of magic crystals and essence budget will be required in this process.
Hang Yu will also rebuild important main cities such as Heyin, Shaxian, Xiping, and Jiuwan in the near future. Even if it is just to complete the infrastructure construction and restore the basic functions of the hub main city, it is inevitable to invest a large amount of magic crystals and a large amount of material consumption.
Because of this.
In addition to the magic crystals, the budget deficit fell.
The third-level material essence also fell into a budget deficit.
The above statistical caliber does not cover all expenses.
For example, the number of third-level players and third-level people is increasing. In order to build and repair equipment, the amount of essence consumed in inventory is increasing day by day, and Zou Wan will also incur a lot of expenses in the process of transforming various alien facilities.
And the construction of various new facilities and the upgrading of existing facilities.
All require a lot of resources.
Hang Yu is also acquiring resource-type, cultivation-type, and preaching-type facility drawings for a long time, and even the third-level revelation stone used to open the map, which may incur additional expenses at any time.
The financial and material essence pressure is not small!
Fortunately, the territory has a deep foundation, rich equipment inventory and material spot reserves, which can be cashed at any time, and the territory is also developing, and the basic income is growing.
Survive the late third stage to the early fourth stage.
This period of explosive development.
In the future, it will quickly restore balance and even a large amount of net income.
"I have to prepare early. The scale of the deficit will expand further in the next few days. It will be troublesome if the capital chain breaks."
Hang Yu ordered Xiao Ba: "Withdraw 30,000 first-level white equipment and 20,000 second-level white equipment from the inventory equipment and put them into the top ten markets for cash in batches. According to the current market conditions, how many magic crystals can be exchanged?"
Xiao Ba completed the analysis and calculation in an instant and said: "After deducting the transaction fee, this batch of first-level equipment is expected to be cashed in an average of about 10-12 magic crystals per piece, and this batch of second-level equipment is expected to be cashed in an average of 40-45 magic crystals per piece."
I have experienced the battle of the corpse witch territory and the battle of Jiuwan.
Low-level players also brush all day long.
The Scourge has accumulated a large amount of equipment under the tenfold explosion rate. Among them, the better ones are generally kept by players for their own use. The parts handed in are generally mediocre, durable, and not very high in attributes.
Some of the equipment will be used as raw materials to extract equipment essence to meet the needs of players to repair equipment, and the rest will be stored. Over time, a lot of equipment has been accumulated.
Just by selling this batch of first- and second-level white equipment.
It can actually cash in up to 1.1 million magic crystals for the territory!
This not only completely covers the expenditure deficit, but also increases the disposable balance by hundreds of thousands.
Hang Yu no longer hesitated. This batch of broken copper and iron is useless, so he immediately asked Xiao Ba to ship it in batches in ten trading markets. The volume of ten markets is enough to digest them within seven days.
In addition to the first- and second-level equipment.
Another 8,000 pieces of more valuable third-level white equipment were spent.
This part is only exchanged for material essence, and each piece must be exchanged for at least 3 valuable third-level white materials, or 50 third-level ordinary material essences, which is enough to replenish the reserve of territory material essence.
The territory has a large amount of materials in stock, and food accounts for a large proportion, which can also be sold for cash. Finally, there are various attribute medicines and spirit horse mounts, which are also ready to be sold for cash at any time.
Hang Yu thought for a while and said to Xiao Ba: "In addition to accepting magic crystals and essences for these equipment, they can also be exchanged for skill stones and useful drawings."
"Yes, master!"
Xiao Ba immediately modified the trading rules.
In this way, the magic crystals and essences that the territory can cash out will be reduced a lot, but there is a chance to receive many basic skill stones and even various common practical drawings.
It seems so.
The inventory of magic crystals and essences in the territory is very tight.
But with a strong foundation, it is still early to trigger a financial crisis and resource crisis.
Of course, we still can't take it lightly. Take the material essence as an example. If a high-quality blue equipment is to be strengthened to level 6, it is not surprising that it consumes thousands or nearly 10,000 essences.
There are so many third-level players in the territory now.
They also have a lot of third-level blue equipment.
Once players have accumulated enough contribution points, they will surely go crazy crafting equipment, starting a huge wave of resource consumption!
Hang Yu could not meet the needs of territory development and the consumption of the Scourge Army by selling inventory equipment or materials. He must develop industries with higher added value and open up more maps for hunting to increase income.
Speaking of which.
The opening of the Sea of Eternal Darkness this time.
Perhaps it is a good opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to grab resources.
After adjusting the territory resources and planning a new round of development, Hang Yu immediately opened the lord's vision to check the activities of his people in the Sea of Eternal Darkness.
…………
Xiao Lingdang is a member of the Shenyu Palace Corps.
The first member to be teleported to the activity map.
After she turned on the teleportation, she felt that she was surrounded by the light of the stars. This feeling lasted for two or three seconds. Similar experiences had never appeared in the past teleportation. The teleportation of other teleportation points was completed instantly.
"Huh? Is this loading? The activity map is really different!"
Xiao Lingdang just sighed, and the light of the stars around her quickly dissipated. What was presented in front of her was no longer the main city of Luoshui, but a completely unfamiliar environment.
"Is this the exclusive map for this game event?"
Xiao Lingling opened her eyes wide.
She began to observe the surroundings.
She appeared in an ancient stone temple.
It was as big as one or two basketball courts. There was a small altar in the center, on which there was a flame emitting brilliant light.
Xiao Lingling felt that the flame in front of her was very special, because the flame seemed to be constantly releasing an invisible but majestic power of the stars during the burning process.
At this time.
Flame-related information.
Suddenly appeared in front of her.
[Blessed Flame], this blessing will go out after 5 hours, 9 minutes and 51 seconds... Introduction: This is a special blessing of the stars, which can generate star protection through burning, but will be completely extinguished after the energy is exhausted. Please replenish firewood as soon as possible.
"Is it a blessing?"
"Why is this blessing different from the blessing of the territory!"
This group of flames floating on the altar is actually a special blessing of the stars. Players can use it to teleport to the territory, but this blessing is time-limited and will go out after about five hours.
What to do?
Before Xiao Lingdang could think about it.
Other players had already completed the teleportation.
Everyone was very interested in the new scene and the new map.
"Fuck!"
"Awesome!"
"Everyone come out and take a look!"
"The production budget of this map is huge!"
"I feel it is not inferior to Shengcang City at all!"
"Country bumpkin, don't be so surprised, we have seen the world...Fuck!"
"..."
Players walked out of the stone hall.
They all shouted.
Xiao Lingdang and others were also puzzled by this.
Chenxi: "We are all veteran players. We have seen all kinds of big scenes. Why are you still like a newcomer?"
The demons and monsters also said: "Yes, Shengcang City is shocking enough. The building and character modeling alone are probably more than all the games that have appeared in history combined... As a temporary map, the Sea of Eternal Darkness consumes more resources than Shengcang City!"
In fact.
Even if it is comparable to the Holy Cang City.
But everyone has been baptized.
They should not be so out of control or even lose control.
"Let's go and take a look!" Xiao Lingdang was very curious and immediately walked out of the hall.
When the people in the Shenyu Palace saw the scene in front of them, they all widened their eyes and looked unbelievable.
Ghosts and monsters: "What the hell is this place!"
The Stars Stone Hall is located on a small island.
This small island is about the size of a large football field.
At this moment, the energy released during the burning of the blessing flame is condensing into a barrier around the island, isolating the island from the outside world, so as the people of the stars, they can be safe and sound in such an environment.
What really shocked people.
There is no doubt that it is the scene outside the island.
The Sea of Eternal Darkness is obviously not the ocean that people understand.
This is an extremely chaotic, polluted, crazy, distorted, weird and bizarre universe, endless void!
The Sea of Eternal Darkness is not only not a sea, but not even black. Instead, it is colorful and a bit exaggerated.
Even the super academic master Chenxi.
She couldn't think of any words to describe what she saw.
It felt like a group of three-dimensional creatures strayed into a four-dimensional or higher-dimensional space, so that they could not understand the various fogs, flames, various energies, space cracks, and the strange phenomena that constantly emerged in the void.
Or after eating ten kilograms of hallucinogenic mushrooms, they fell into an imaginative but extremely twisted and bizarre dream.
This small island where they live.
Like a tiny dust particle.
The surrounding space is like a moving picture world generated by AI.
Everyone found that the picture in their field of vision was changing every frame and every moment.
A moment ago, a monster as big as the moon, covered with hideous eyes and tentacles, appeared in the field of vision.
The next moment, this oppressive behemoth disappeared, turning into a deformed giant with thousands of feet, thousands of hands and thousands of faces, or dozens of other things with different images.
The next moment, a large forest appeared, which was made of flesh and blood, and many deformed monsters were active.
The next moment, the flesh and blood forest disappeared again, and a mysterious and strange city made of thousands of feet high pyramids with millions of mummies hanging on it replaced it.
The above changes.
are just the tip of the iceberg.
Because no one can figure it out.
How many weird and mythical monsters, strange terrains, and even mysterious ruins appeared around.
Of course, in addition to these wonders that can still be barely described, the island is filled with more distorted scenes that are incomprehensible, as well as strange scenes intertwined with various energy cracks.
How to say it?
This vast and boundless void.
It's like an imaginative oil painting.
It was like a chaotic, absurd and magical dream.
"What is going on?"
"It's so imaginative! I feel like we have entered an indescribable world in a painting!"
"Is there no limit to the production of this game? It really brings us surprises at any time!"
"Take pictures quickly, take more pictures, these pictures may contain a huge amount of information about the abyss, enough for weirdos to study carefully, and may help us to crack the secrets of the world view!"
"..."
Not only the players.
The NPCs in their eyes were also shocked.
It took Zhang Zhongjing a long time to react, "This place is so weird and chaotic!"
Jia Xu was originally not motivated.
When he saw the weird mirror image of the Sea of Eternal Darkness.
He was also a lot more energetic and interested for a while.
"I'm not sure, but I guess this Sea of Eternal Darkness is actually composed of countless broken abyss planes. Space and debris, so it will be filled with projections from various spaces and even overflowing pollution at the same time."
Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, and Wen Pin all looked confused.
They didn't quite understand.
The players were talking about it.
Salted Fish Thrust: "Brother Rui, what do you think!"
Brother Black Eyed Rui fell into thought: "I think if we compare the Abyss Three Kingdoms where we are to an egg, perhaps there are countless eggs boiled in the same big pot, some eggs are broken and the egg liquid flows out, forming some egg drop soup outside."
Shilipo Sword God: "You mean the egg drop soup is the Sea of Eternal Night? And we are in the boiling water in the big pot now,"
Brother Black Eyed Rui: "This is just an idea, it is definitely not that simple in reality. The setting of the Abyss is too abstract, and we still know too little about it!"
(PS: Make up for last night's update.)
