Chapter 63: Stealing the Book
As the saying goes, don't fight unprepared battles in everything.
For the whole afternoon, March was collecting intelligence about the Yellow Crane site.
The Yellow Crane site is located in the westernmost part of Shenzhou Island, and it is said that a person named "Yellow Crane" feathered and ascended to immortality. This person loved to delve into the art of mechanical armor in his life, and left many monsters driven by mechanisms in the ruins, which are difficult for ordinary people to penetrate.
It's a pretty interesting setting.
It is important to know that in holographic games with a high degree of freedom, the planner will often set the background to a more technologically backward era, and impose various restrictions to prevent more creative players from messing with generators, calculators, and the like, affecting balance, wasting server resources, and even causing bugs.
If the information is correct, the monsters in the Yellow Crane Ruins belong to the mechanical category, and most of them will drop various parts after death. If she collects enough parts and reassembles them, she may be able to build a trap beast of her own.
I didn't hear much about Xingtian, mainly the ones provided by the wind.
March has always been skeptical of the wind's statement, it has been 4 months since the creation of this world, and it is obvious that this game has entered the late stage, and the strength of a boss-level monster like Xingtian cannot be too low.
She needed a helper.
Yutian is a pharmacist, basically has no frontal combat effectiveness, and poison is ineffective against trap beasts; Conservation may see the flaws of "shallow sleep" at any time; Ling Xiao and the others were busy looking for clues to the right master's family, and they had no time to separate; Fu Longpan and Zhongli are not familiar with each other at all......
Thinking about it, the most suitable candidate turned out to be Fengfan.
After the conversation at noon, she didn't really want to see him, let alone ask for others, so she was invisibly shorter.
After thinking about it, the one who explored the new map eventually prevailed.
Anyway, the game is over, and everyone goes their separate ways. The sea of people is vast, and it is difficult to see each other again in this life, so why care about temporary gains and losses?
At noon the next day, Feng Fan came to the meeting place on time.
March had been waiting for a long time, and when he appeared, he said, "I have something to ask you for help." β
"What's the matter?" Feng Pan was obviously a bit surprised.
He had just offended March yesterday, and he thought that the two would be estranged for a while, but only one day later, she ignored her previous suspicions and asked for help.
March picked up the Yellow Crane Ruins and Xingtian and asked, "Would you like to go with me?" β
"Not paid?" Feng Pan asked rhetorically.
ββ¦β¦ The remuneration is a sum of money, not sure how much. "This man seems to have learned wisely, March said to himself. Pray tears to ask him for help before, but he never cared about any reward. Maybe it's because Qi Tear joined the Fulong family, and he feels that as the patriarch, he has the responsibility to take care of it?
Feng Pan nodded and said, "Divide me in half, and I'll help you." β
ββ¦β¦ No problem. β
This is the saying that meeting is divided in half?
Thinking that the remuneration that had not yet arrived was reduced by half out of thin air, March had a pain in the flesh.
She calmed down and asked tentatively, "How did you get to 'avoid water droplets'?" β
The wind said that the fire beads came from the right master family, and the origin of the water beads may also have a lot of articles.
"Secret."
"......" March felt that he was responding to his "violation" remarks yesterday, shrugged his shoulders, and stopped asking.
After the discussion, the two discussed, and made an appointment to meet at the west gate of Dragon City the next morning, and then each returned to the city to prepare.
If the trap beasts are all wooden, the best way to deal with them is naturally fire.
It's a pity that March has a fire bead on his body, and he can't light it anyway, and this kind of thing can only be caused by the wind.
She walked around the market for a long time, purchased a few barrels of grease and twenty bottles of recovery medicine, and went offline to rest.
Today's Sword and Shadow Forum is still very lively.
I picked up a few hot posts in March and looked at them, but I didn't find any useful information.
The "Fantasyland" section recently held a personal style competition, requiring participants to take photos and upload their own character images, and through moderator judges and netizen voting, they will select the "Most Popular Award" and "Best Match Award" and other awards.
The last few hot posts,Basically related to this game,Some report the votes,Some question the moderator's aesthetics,Some think the rules of the game are imperfect,In short, they are all posts that lead the war,A group of netizens are tearing up at the bottom,No one can convince anyoneγ
No matter what era it is, it is always the topic that is easy to cause controversy that is the hottest, and the posts of dry goods sink below.
She shook her head and flipped back two pages, revealing a post about nostalgia for "Tomorrowland."
It stands to reason that posts in this section are not allowed to mention other games, but as everyone knows, "Tomorrowland" has been cool for many years, so the moderators have opened up and did not delete this post.
Every once in a while, some nostalgic posts pop up on the forum, in fact, what they miss is often not the outdated games themselves, but the time that they can't go back to, and the friends who played together.
When I opened the post in March, I saw that the poster mentioned that I used to read books all night in the library, and I couldn't help but think of an interesting thing.
"Tomorrowland" cooperated with Qidian to move the website library to the game's library, and players can purchase weekly, monthly, or annual passes for the library for a certain fee, and freely enter and exit the library for a certain period of time to borrow books. This is a win-win cooperation, which has brought high benefits to both parties, and it has become a beautiful talk for a while.
As we all know, in the real world, book piracy is repeatedly banned. Interestingly, in order to achieve a complete simulation effect, "Tomorrowland" also leaves players with some channels to read books for free, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
One of the most common ways to borrow a book is to borrow it again from a player who has paid to borrow it. Unfortunately, the borrowing period of a book is only half a month at most, and if the player cannot return the book on time, a certain amount of credit points will be deducted, which will affect the future borrowing, so the general player will only lend the book to someone he trusts.
Another riskier way is to sneak into the library to read books while there are many people. Every morning when the library opens, there are too many players who want to enter, and there is a queue to enter, and at this time, the inspection of the administrator will not be so strict, and it is likely to put in a few fish that do not have a pass. If this "fare evasion" is discovered, it will spark the anger of the administrator, and it will be banned from the library for a few days.
Finally, there is also a way that only exists in legends to steal books directly from the library.
Stealing is a crime, and if you get caught, you will go to jail, and stealing books from the library is equivalent to stealing public property. Who would take such a big risk for reading pirated books, so this is a path that ordinary people dare not think of.
But this path was taken, and it worked.
Half a year after the launch of the "Tomorrowland" service, libraries in all cities posted an announcement at the door at the same time, to the effect that a batch of precious books in the central library had been stolen, and the official was investigating the matter, hoping that players would help recover the books, bring the criminals to justice, and reward those who provided clues.
"! That's too much of a fork, isn't it? β
"How did this dude do that?"
"Damn, no, the book I was going to borrow today was stolen!"
March, crowded in the first batch of people to enter the museum that day, listened to the players' feelings, smiled slightly, and hid their merits and fame.
Later, the security of the library was tightened, and the theft became a legend that cannot be replicated by future generations. Unfortunately, until the game was shut down, no one could find this book thief who risked the world's condemnation.
