Chapter 72. How to cut the thousands of threads, a thousand threads are still messy (II)

Sorendra Square, inside the plasma screen.

Dora, the teachers of the three major academies and the commissioner of the Mystic Academy, descended from the sky, and the five mentors voted to determine the final winner.

Zigui led the Hydro Energy Development Group, and they invented an underwater combat potion. Momoyuki demonstrated on the spot, her skin slightly refracted the scaly sheen after taking the potion, and she burrowed into the transparent bucket prepared in advance, swimming happily.

"An astonishing invention that changes the structure of skin tissue allows terrestrial organisms to adapt to underwater life, greatly improving the convenience of underwater activities. I think this is the most practical invention in the past five years, and it deserves to be awarded. ”

"Dear Mr. Dora, I don't agree with you. This kind of transfiguration-like trick has no technology at all. The Arcane Council commissioner was dismissive of the invention.

The instructor of the Power Academy retorted: "This is not metamorphosis, it is a real change in organs and tissues, and changes at the genetic level. If there were no side effects, I'd be willing to vote. ”

Several mentors argued, and finally Dora, the Dynamics Academy mentor, and the Synergy Academy tutor voted in favor.

When it was the interrogator's turn, Frost took out a purple wand half an arm's length, and threw it into the air, releasing purple gas.

Purple qi instantly overflowed the entire plasma hood, and nothing could be seen.

When the purple qi dissipated, the other four mentors, except for Dora, all voted for the interrogation team.

The jury scored four points and the jury won.

The whole selection meeting lasted less than ten minutes, and it was extremely boring.

What was supposed to be a lively, spectacular, novel, and engaging conference was so boring at this moment, and the players who threw gold coins to watch were fooled.

Li Weiji didn't think there was anything wrong. Since entering the Metrics dungeon, after a series of seemingly ups and downs, all the clues revolve around the Sneef Awards, the intention of the game designers is very obvious, that is, to use this selection conference to show the new and interesting inventions of all players, but the frost carefully planned to use the game design flaws to make this exhibition a joke. All the efforts of the Peacemaker players are worthless, and that's exactly what Frost wants.

The more miserable the opponent, the more he laughed.

At the end of the match, the interrogators were collectively shrouded in red light, and a portal opened, and it was unknown where it went.

The portal disappeared, and the plasma wall disappeared with it, and Li Weiji saw Zigui and the others sitting in Sorendra Square in a daze, and the five mentors were nowhere to be found.

The players stabbed up and surrounded Zigui and the others, asking them what happened, but Zigui and the others should not answer as if they were dead.

"At the end of the Snaiff Prize Awards, the jury has performed well and become the champions of the competition. All members of the Inquisition will be able to choose from Snaiff's legacy to choose from their Hearts. This announcement is hereby made for encouragement."

After the three game announcements ended, Zigui and the others woke up quietly.

Li Weiji and Li Yili waited quietly outside the crowd, as if abandoned by the world.

Li Yi smiled and said, "I thought we were the main ones leading the progress of the dungeon."

Li Weiji also smiled: "I can't see Mount Tai in a leaf." People tend to be self-righteous. We were the first to uncover the Inquisition's conspiracy, gain control of Dora's Lab, rescue the lab researchers, and join forces with the legendary NPC Zoga...... By all indications, we are one step ahead of the rest of the players. But after beating the X Golem prototype, for some reason, we were tasked with investigating Hack Frog. Now it seems that this is clearly a side quest, a far cry from the core quest of the Sneff Awards, which is the core quest of the dungeon. Poor us, we are still immersed in the illusion of leadership, enjoying ourselves. ”

More and more people gathered around Sorendra Square, and the true central figure of the peacemaker came to the fore.

Zigui first apologized to the player for the failure of the incident, he reminded the player that the game is not over, although the trial team won the Sneff Award election, but the peacemaker still has a chance to fight back, and for a long time to come, the game will release a large number of missions to help the peacemaker improve his strength, and at the same time be careful of the sniping of the trial team, the strength of the trial team players with Sneff's legacy has increased greatly, and it has been a lot higher than the peacemaker from the data attribute.

After stating these unfavorable facts, Zigui turned to the front and began to compliment the level of the game of the Peacemaker players, saying that they were wiser and more able to deal with unexpected events. Zigui encourages them not to be discouraged, although the data is not comparable to that of the interrogatory, their game experience can make up for the difference in data to a large extent.

In the end, Zigui called on everyone to unite and gradually accumulate strength based on Sorendra, in the hope of being able to fight the interrogator again.

Unfortunately, many players didn't listen to him.

Sorendra's white light is everywhere, and at least three-fifths of players quit the current quest to find another opportunity.

A large number of players quit, and the number of players on both sides becomes extremely unbalanced, and the game directly gives a direct prompt: "A large number of peacemakers are discouraged, the realm of measurement is in jeopardy, and the inquisition team is in full swing."

After the prompt ended, an exit icon appeared in the lower right corner of Li Weiji's sight, obviously implying that there was no hope, just quit.

Zigui didn't expect so many people to leave, and couldn't help but say to himself: "Smart people are self-interested, and there are indeed three points of truth." ”

Momoyuki comforted him and said, "It's just a game." ”

Zigui waved his hand and said: "The games are like this, how good can the reality be." Fortunately, there is still [dark blue] control in reality, otherwise I don't know how many incidents will be generated. ”

Tao Yi pointed to Li Weiji: "At least there are some really smart people who haven't left." ”

Zigui smiled faintly: "There are only 12 players left on the peacemaker's side, but the number of interrogation teams is slowly increasing, I'm afraid it's no fun." ”

Momoyuki held Zigui's hand: "Even if there are only two of us left, we will have a chance to snatch the dragon blood weapon back." ”

Zigui sighed: "Let's take one step at a time." If this plane really collapses, you can only pin your hopes on the eldest sister and second brother. ”

Momozhi patted Zigui on the shoulder and said, "I'm afraid that the eldest sister and second brother can't wait for you to fail." ”

Zigui knew that Momoyuki was telling the truth, and was silent.

Momoyuki said, "Don't worry so much, as long as he's still here, we can turn the tables." ”

Zigui nodded and walked towards Li Weiji, who beckoned to greet.

Zigui smiled and said: "The incident failed, there are only 12 players on our side now, and there is almost no point in continuing this dungeon, why don't you quit yet?"

Li Weiji said: "I'm waiting for you to explain. After playing for two hours, I didn't get anything, but I had a lot of questions. I didn't understand what the whole incident was about, and I was really unwilling to quit. Moreover, you say that there is almost no point in going on, almost a good word. ”

Zigui said: "Until now, I won't hide it. As you may have noticed, the players in this quest aren't really randomly put together. ”

"Hmm." Li Weiji replied casually, he had noticed this before, and several teammates had been in contact with Lingbao.

"The Realm of Metrics quest can hold a total of 250 players, of which 200 players are related to the 512 earthquake."

"Huh?" Li Weiji and Li Yi were stunned at the same time.

Zigui pointed to Dora's lab and said, "Let's go over there and talk." ”

The four of them ran all the way to Dora's laboratory, and Zi Gui said: "The hungry spirit has devoured all your gains, but the control of this laboratory is inalienable, and you are still the master here." What I'm going to talk about next is very, very hard to believe, so you turn on the disguise system here. ”

Li Weiji turned on the camouflage system as he said, and Dora's laboratory was once again covered by a dense forest.

"As we all know, [Deep Blue] will evolve the player's memory fragments into the game dungeon, so although the dungeon of Guild Wars has a main story, the side quests are ever-changing. The constant main story combined with the ever-changing side lines has a near-endless ending for the same dungeon. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. The benefits are obvious, different players can get the happiness he wants. The downside is also obvious, the overly divided ending makes the whole game fragmented, and Rao [Deep Blue] can't deduce the subsequent events of all the endings. In order to compensate for this shortcoming, the original game designer made a clever setting in which he forced the ending of each dungeon to three scenarios, which greatly reduced the amount of computational work. ”

After a pause at this point, Momoyuki added, "All the tasks you received after fighting the X Golem prototype are based on the nightmares he had when he was a child. ”

Li Weiji smacked his tongue and said: "No wonder these tasks are not so strong in connection and logic." No, how do you know what I've been told? ”

Zigui said: "Because the mission is adapted from my dream, the game has prepared a relevant interface for me in advance, and in this interface, you can see all the movements of the task performer. Later, when someone receives your memory task, you will also have a prompt interface. In the interface, you can choose to help the task performer or set them a higher difficulty. ”

Li Weiji was speechless.

It was the first time he had heard of this setting, and in curiosity, he asked, "Then did you secretly help us?" ”

Zigui said shyly: "Guess." ”

"Guess your sister." Li Yi said, "Say it quickly." ”

Zigui said: "I helped twice." The first time was when you first met Uka, and you secretly observed its state, but you were so careless that it immediately noticed your presence. The game suggested that I could cover you up or expose you, and I chose to cover up. ”

Li Weiji recalled that Gu Hanzhang did mention that Wuka might have noticed their existence at that time, but there was no follow-up action, it turned out that Zigui forcibly helped them reduce the difficulty of the task.

After thanking him, Li Weiji asked again: "What about the second time?" ”

Zigui said, "The second time is when you deal with evil spirits. In the final stage, there are only two of you left, and the game suggests that I can slow down the speed at which the Chaos Rat pounces on the evil spirits, which I did. It's a pity that you used your skills indiscriminately and didn't grasp the rhythm of time, otherwise you would have been able to complete this task. ”

"Horses, too."

Li Weiji and Li Yi sighed at the same time.

Especially Li Weiji, if he had known that there was such an arrangement, he would definitely carefully plan the order of skill use to ensure that the task was completed smoothly.

You can't look back on everything, the more you think about it, the more angry you become, and the more you think about it, the more you feel pity.

Zigui didn't understand what Yema meant, but he wasn't curious, and said directly: "It's really a lot of effort for the copy to be able to string the pieces together without departing from the main line." I think you can see that, too. ”

Li Weiji nodded: "Bloodstone." ”

Zigui said: "Yes." Bloodstone. All unreasonable stories can be attributed to the influence of Bloodstone. This is the plan of the original designers of the game. This solution is so versatile that anything can be put into it. So you'll see that the Hack Frog, Amusement Park, and Skerc City quest line have a Bloodstone element behind them. In order to make the existence of Bloodstone seem plausible, the game designed the story of Lingbao and Dora, but unfortunately you failed in the mission and failed to unearth the secret between them, and we have no way of knowing the relationship between Lingbao and Dora. ”

Hearing this, Li Weiji was shocked and then stunned, surprised that the task was complicated, and was stunned why Zigui knew so many game design secrets, he hesitated and asked, "You participated in the mission design?"

Zigui pointed to the way of the peach: "She was involved in a small part of it."

"Designers joining the game?" "Test the game for vulnerabilities?" ”

Momoyuki shook his head and said, "No." In the words of [Deep Blue], all the vulnerabilities of this game can be covered by instant patches. Moreover, the more instant patches play, the more difficult the task becomes, and when the task is difficult to a certain extent, the player will inevitably not be able to complete the task. Players who fail to clear the level will inevitably exit the dungeon, and the dungeon end loophole will naturally disappear without a trace. And players will only blame the mission design is too difficult, or their game level is not enough, and they will not have other ideas at all. ”

Li Weiji interjected: "There is no reason to tell us this kind of inside story. So ......"

Zigui said: "I told you because you were a little special. We need to work with you, and the premise of cooperation is integrity. ”

"There's something special about him?" Li Yi almost didn't laugh out loud, "Is it particularly unlucky?" ”

Zigui grabbed Li Weiji's hands and said, "Yin and Yang Pisces."

"What's wrong?"

"Lingbao branded you with bloodstone energy, right?"

"Why do you all know?"

"What do we know? Who else knows? Zigui immediately became nervous.

Li Weiji said: "Zhuo Jia. She knows. ”

Zigui and Momozhi looked at each other and said, "Did she ask you for bloodstone dust?"

Li Weiji was silent.

At this point in the conversation, Zigui and Momono are far from being as simple as ordinary game designers.

Seeing that Li Weiji didn't speak, Taozhi took Zigui's hand and said, "His surname is Xu."

A person's surname Xu is not a big deal, but in this situation, the surname Xu is worth a thousand words.

Even Li Yi understood, and he said, "Xu... Clan..."

Xu's Group is the only enterprise that has been specially approved by [Deep Blue] to sell all types of goods.

Li Weiji's frowning brows stretched and replied, "Yes." She asked me for Bloodstone Dust, and I gave it to her. ”

"Oops." Zigui slapped his thigh, "The hardest branch was triggered." ”

Li Weiji and Li Yi asked at the same time, "What do you mean?"

Zigui said, "According to what I overheard, Zhuojia has been looking for an opportunity to avenge Sneef, and she collected bloodstone dust to destroy the enemy with a large amount of magic. This side quest ends up asking Droga to reconcile with her enemies. Yesterday you saw the power of Zhuojia, and if you can become her enemy, you can imagine that it must be powerful. And you, as the player involved, must find a way to reconcile their conflicts. ”

Li Weiji rolled his eyes wildly.

Tao Zhidao: "Don't be busy rolling your eyes, we have more important things right now." The current dungeon isn't over, and while the Inquisitors have won the Sneef Award and gained a lot of experience and equipment, we still have a chance to come back and win, because you're still there. ”

"What do you mean?"

Momoyuki said, "This starts with the design intent of this plane. The metric field we are in is codenamed 144000, do you know what that number means? ”

Li Yi didn't overdo it and ignored it.

Li Weiji thought for a moment and said, "I remember Zhuo Jia said that there are a total of 180,000 planes in the measurement realm, and 144,000 is exactly 80% of 180,000, some kind of dividing line?"

Zigui praised: "Your analytical skills are really super strong. Is your genetic potential really only B++? ”

"Can't you?" Li Weiji doesn't like others to talk about genetic potential.

Zigui hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, I've seen a lot of B++ people, and they are completely inferior to you, so I'm a little surprised." As a gamer, you know that there are different levels of player play. And this distribution often conforms to the law of 28. ”

Li Yi was puzzled: "What is the law of twenty-eight? ”

"80% of the players are of average level, and 20% of players are of a higher level. ”

Li Yi said shamelessly: "As the 20%, I really don't know that there is such a statement." ”

Zigui laughed and said, "You're welcome." According to the statistics we received, neither you nor Li Weiji are in the 20%, but they are not far from the 20%. ”

Li Yi counted his fingers and hummed: "There are more than 500 million players in the world, and I can't even rank in the top 100 million?" ”

Momozhi said: "The accurate data is that you are ranked 100 million and 19, and Li Weiji is ranked 100 million and 20. ”

Li Yi looked at Li Weiji and smiled: "Stupid, do you want to accept it?" ”

"Yes."

Li Weiji is not convinced, statistics can not be wrong, but statistics has never been right when it comes to human ability.

Momoyuki said: "In fact, this division is not completely accurate, everyone has their own good side, in many games in the past, the player's natural ability has not been fully utilized, resulting in serious statistics." If I'm not mistaken, Li Weiji, you are the 'sixty-four' who wrote "Game Experience" on the forum. ”

Li Weiji nodded.

Momozhi smiled: "It's very popular on the forum now." I accidentally saw what you wrote two weeks ago, and there was also a somersault performed by Li Yi in it, which was very handsome. I saw that your writing is very organized, and the use of video clips is very high-level, so I searched for your information, but unfortunately you are not famous, and there is only a small amount of information about you in the huge network. Based on this information alone, the two of you are ranked within 10 million at least. ”

Li Yi stretched out his voice and said, "I thought I could enter the first thousand, but it turned out that there were more than 10,000 in the back." ”

Zigui said: "The main reason is that you have too few opportunities to show your face and are not famous." Fame is heavily weighted in statistics. This time, the "Game Experience" you wrote is quite popular, and it is estimated that it will help your game ranking. ”

"Famous?" Li Weiji hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't dare to think about it." It's good to be safe. ”

Zigui praised: "If I don't have the surname Xu, I will definitely envy your lifestyle." ”

"Speaking of which, I don't know if you two feel it, we've gone off topic." Li Weiji reminded, "First of all, why does this plane exist? Second, what exactly does my Yin and Yin Pisces do? Third, how does this plane relate to the 512 earthquake more than forty years ago? Let's tackle these three questions first and then make small talk about the rest, shall we? ”

Momozhi nodded and said, "The three questions you mentioned are actually one question. This plane is to compensate the victims of the 512 earthquake, and the Yin and Yin Pisces are the key to our ultimate reward. ”

"What's the ultimate reward?"

"Minimum 1 credit." Zigui said calmly, "This is one of the very few dungeon planes that can obtain realistic rewards. ”

This is one of the few things that can make Li Weiji's heart move.

Li Weiji smiled and said, "I suspect that you guys have peeked at my behavior data......"

"We did." Zigui became serious, "Yesterday, I saw the Yin and Yin Pisces in your hand, so I went offline and retrieved your information, I know you need credits." ”

Li Weiji clapped his hands and said, "Okay." You convinced me. I do. How? ”

Momochi Zhidao: "To tell you the truth, I put forward the idea of using copies to compensate the victims of 512. I designed a scenario where the winner gets the final prize, and there is only one victory condition. ”

Li Yi craned his neck and asked, "Which one?" ”

Momoyuki said, "On May 4th, at 12:45 p.m., use the Dragon's Blood Weapon to defeat the final boss of the thaumaturgic Nova Reactor. ”

"What's the final boss?"

"I don't know. This is a [navy] design, I don't know. ”

"But we are disqualified from the mission, how can we intervene in the final boss event? Do you rely on Yin and Yin Pisces? ”

"Not bad." Momozhi said, "The Yin and Yang Pisces is a mysterious design made by the hand of the [Deep Blue] fake Tuo Lingbao, we only know that this thing has extremely terrifying permissions, but there is no exact way to use it at present. ”

Zigui interjected: "So, in the past three days, I will do everything I can to help you crack the role of Yin and Yin Pisces in this copy." ”

Li Weiji thought about it and agreed, "Okay." I believe in you. Who called your surname Xu? ”

Zigui said: "You have nothing now, and you can't receive follow-up tasks, and you can't upgrade through mission experience, I'm really worried that the interrogation team will target you." In this way, I will directly buy you a set of special-level equipment, and you can use these three days to concentrate on fighting monsters and upgrading, and strive to improve your attributes. By the way, are your communication buttons still there? ”

Li Weiji shook his head and said, "It's gone." However, the control of Dora's Labs is still in my hands, and I can have as many buttons as I want. ”

Zigui nodded and sighed: "We only have 12 players left now, and the number of people on the opposite side is extremely advantageous. I was actually very confused, so I could only fight hard and continue. ”

Li Weiji could understand this emotion, and he had nothing, and he comforted Zigui in turn: "Although I don't know what your purpose is, since you don't want to give up this copy, and I happen to need the reward of this copy, then let's go to the end together." Whether it is brilliant or decadent, let time witness. ”

The four of them put their hands together and cheered each other on.

Li Weiji went to Dora's laboratory and took out 12 communication buttons, re-set the frequency and distributed them to Li Yi and the three people: "I have re-set the team channel, and when you meet allies, you will directly give them the buttons." Now the situation is unique, and it is extremely difficult to win an alliance. ”

After distributing the communication buttons, Li Weiji said again: "The matter of buying equipment is not in a hurry, I am afraid that if I dress too well, I will be targeted by the interrogation team." And, hey, Lao Yi and I put a lot of effort into this copy, but in the end it was empty, to be honest, we are not reconciled. You give me some time, and Lao Yi and I will adjust our state. Whether it's a Jedi fighting back, a moth to a fire, no matter what, we'll let the Inquisitor see our sharp teeth. ”

Zigui bowed slightly, and said, "See you online." ”

Waving goodbye, the two silently recited five times to exit.

Before quitting, Li Weiji heard the game prompt: "Day and night change, luck is reshaped, and your current luck value is 0."

White light lit up in front of him, and in the hive, Li Weiji slumped in his chair and recalled the bits and pieces of the struggle with the Royal Guild.
