The light blue fluorescence lights up from time to time.

In a huge summoning circle comparable to a basketball court, one figure after another appeared.

"Really came in?"

A man with short hair who was well-proportioned in a novice outfit first looked at his hands and body in some astonishment, and then glanced around with a slightly wary look.

The short-haired man was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a resolute face, but his body was slightly tense unconsciously, and it seemed that he instinctively had some resistance and uneasiness about everything around him.

"Team Europe, take it easy."

At this time, a young man who had already left the novice outfit and had a spear in his hand couldn't help but smile at the other party when he saw the performance of the short-haired man, "Don't have this suspicious expression, what you see, hear, and feel is basically no different from everything we do in the real world." ”

The short-haired man bowed his head slightly, and his expression seemed to be much more relaxed, but the doubt in his eyes did not fade, but there was more curiosity in the doubt.

His eyes kept scanning the men and women who emerged from the summoning circle one after another, and he could see that most of the people in novice clothes who entered were basically mixed with complex emotions such as surprise, disbelief, and excitement.

Although he had obtained enough information before entering, it was still extremely incredible for him to appear in a completely unfamiliar world after opening and closing his eyes.

After a few minutes, the short-haired man didn't seem to be getting used to the inexplicable impact of his heart, and then he left the summoning circle, restrained his expression, and slowly asked the young man next to him, "Are all of our people here?" ”

The young man next to him casually carried the spear in his hand on his shoulder, and spread his hands at the short-haired man, "Of course not, didn't you say that you just entered as an ordinary player, of course you have your own tasks and jobs." ”

Saying that, the young man looked at the short-haired man, and casually handed the spear in his hand to the other party, "Give you a weapon first, and then I will trade a little magic crystal coins for you later, this world is full of crises, and if you are not careful, you will hang up." ”

The short-haired man didn't refuse, took the spear and looked at it carefully, he couldn't recognize the wood used to make the barrel, it felt relatively hard, especially the tip of the spear, and the metal head had a faint blue fluorescent flow.

"This is an enchanted weapon." The young man explained beside him, and seemed to notice the short-haired man's gaze again, and then added, "Team Ou, don't look at me like that, this is a benefit that a few consultants in several groups have given us."

That one...... Consultant Mao and Consultant Yu have said that if there is something to do with them, they can go directly to them, including working to earn money and equipment. This time it's a semi-open test, and the number of players who have entered should be more than 10,000 and almost 20,000, and with so many people entering, the price of many things will increase. ”

"Isn't the financial system here rough and unstable?" The short-haired man glanced at the young man and asked again.

He is the vice-leader of the newly formed anomalous investigation team, and although he has read the information, he is not really fully integrated into the knowledge.

Previously, one captain and three vice-captains, including him, had carried out various investigations and studies, but these were still based on other people's dictation and construction through some video and text messages.

On the one hand, he was able to enter this time because he got the quota there, and on the other hand, because of his own excellent political quality, but in the end, there is still a big gap between the information he saw on paper and the huge world that was really displayed in front of him.

"Stable and unstable, collapse or not, in fact, ......" The young man was a little unsure, but then continued, "Actually, it doesn't seem to matter much, there is a feeling of some wartime system, plus, the particularity of us 'people from the other world', the things pursued are different, as long as there are weapons and skill books, plus all kinds of monsters and the like, it is quite smooth." ”

"Forget it, that's not what we need to focus on."

Ou Liyan shook his head slightly, glanced at the young man next to him, and then asked, "Ding Guan, you came in a few days earlier than me, can you probably tell me about the situation?" ”

"Team Ou, this time it seems that the four-five-six-seven-eighty-ninetie and eleven or eighteen urban districts have established new summoning circles, and players who enter will be assigned to these urban districts immediately.

We're in the camp in the fourth district, and it's still relatively simple, and this city is particularly dilapidated compared to other districts because of the monster riot before, and the danger factor is the greatest. ”

Ding Guan left the summoning circle with Ou Liyan and walked out towards the desolate and dilapidated city outside, continuing to introduce as he went.

"Recently, the first job of the players is to rebuild the outer wall of the camp in the fourth district, oh, Team Europe, it's really not my fuss, the fifty or sixty-meter-high city wall, stretching for dozens of kilometers, sometimes I can't figure out how they built it."

"That stage of the work is for the upcoming ...... Magic Tide? ”

Ou Liyan looked at the ruined ruined city, except for the area near the summoning circle, which was cleared, there were only a few relatively spacious roads in the other sections, and the others were collapsed buildings, and all kinds of waste were piled up layer upon layer, and the feeling of the end of the world even if it was a completely different world, it still made people feel a little desolate.

He had read some introductions about the background of the world, but what he saw on paper was relatively vague after all, even if it was some video materials given by the advisor Yu in the team, it was still far from being comparable to what he saw with his own eyes.

"Demon Tide, this is also called the Spiritual Energy Tide, it seems that the names in the transcendent systems of the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent are not the same. Judging from the information released by the City Lord's Mansion, it is required to integrate all the forces of the city as quickly as possible, and then fight against the outbreak of the demon tide. ”

Ding Guan went on to explain that he didn't know much about this European team, only that the other party had parachuted in after their anomalous team had been established for a while. Whatever the reason for entering the squad to become a vice-captain, but wanting to face such a strange ...... The world, at least there will not be any gilded mediocrity above.

"I've seen some of the materials." Ou Liyan already knew a little about the Demon Tide, and then asked, "So how is the progress now?" ”

"Looks like it's about the same."

Ding Guan recalled for a moment and then said, "The information that the two advisors gave me before was that the places where new players entered this time were mainly the third, fourth, and eleventh districts, and the other districts mainly played a diversion role, so as not to rush in too many people, causing the camp to be unable to bear the load for a while. The main job for new players in the third district is to follow some old players and start to wander around the first and second districts, as if a few small human camps have been found there, but there are not many of them. The player quest for the Eleventh District is to the Twelfth and Thirteenth Districts, which are not inhabited, but I heard that there are many sea monsters gathered. ”

"It's a little bit more detailed than what we know in the forums." Ou Liyan already understands some of what Ding Guan said between the lines, but he still can't grasp the specifics so clearly.

Now the general situation of this world is relatively clear to them, but there is another point, that is, some players have unconsciously established a relatively loose system in this world.

After the novice player enters, if there is no old man to bring or introduce, many things can only be learned from the official website forum, or introduced by other players.

Fortunately, their anomalous affairs team has already "recruited" a number of special advisors, and these advisors have relatively reached the top level in this world.

"By the way, there are some high-level players that we haven't been in contact with before, so don't contact them for the time being." Thinking of this, Ou Liyan turned his head to Ding Guanxiang and instructed.

Ding Guan was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked: "European team, why is this?" Didn't we say we wanted to find out who these people were in the real world? After all, with the experience of that Mao consultant, if you can't keep it all, you ......."

"That's not our job." Ou Liyan shook his head, "Besides, we all know the identities of some people, and the reason why they didn't act rashly was because they were worried about causing unnecessary trouble, and you also know the strength of that Mao consultant." ”

"Of course I do." Ding Guan's eyes lit up, "I really didn't expect it, I can't imagine that someone can really be able to ......"

"Stop!" Ou Liyan didn't wait for Ding Guan to finish speaking, then stopped the other party and continued, "This matter is still a little sensitive, and we are not sure how many people really know, so the best way is not to stab him for the time being." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ding Guan nodded like a peck, as a member of the secret service, he knew that the expansion of these things was inevitable, but from their standpoint, it was still necessary to prolong the time of this information gap, or rather, to make the power in their hands as strong as possible and better deal with it.

In fact, Ding Guan still knows in his heart, that is, this ...... In this other world, the official power has been known for a long time, and the number of players at that time was not large, and it was completely controllable. Even now, even if the number of players reaches more than 10,000, it is not completely impossible to fully master it.

But the authorities have been letting it go, and in addition to mixing it with sand, it seems to be deliberately letting it go.

"Maybe it's a bit more cautious?" Ding Guan didn't ask the doubts in his heart, but as a person who works in a special department, he is not stupid.

Putting aside those messy thoughts, Ding Guan reined in his mood and asked again: "Team Ou, our goal this time is to investigate the ...... of that city?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Ding Guan realized that it seemed that the question was a little abrupt.

However, Ou Liyan didn't care too much, just glanced at Ding Guan, and smiled: "Don't be nervous, the nature of our mission is not as serious as you think, the captain didn't explain that day, everyone just took it as normal, well, the player is fine." But I don't really know how many people you're talking about, except for our squad. ”

"I understand." Ding Guan nodded in understanding.

The anomalous things team is just a small team, and the number of people is not large, but the things in charge have their own directions. According to the vaguely revealed information in the team before, after all, this kind of thing is not only done by their team, but it seems that stability maintenance and some other special departments are involved.

"By the way, Team Europe, what is our focus? Do you gather as much information as you can before? Ding Guan continued to ask.

"It still has to be targeted." Ou Liyan replied lightly.

From time to time, his gaze swept over the path carved out through the ruins, and players were walking through it, most of them in novice suits, pushing carts and wheelbarrows.

This kind of scene inexplicably reminded him of some old movies he had seen before, and there seemed to be a lot of thousands of people mobilized to carry out some big projects in the big production.

But soon a rumbling sound detached his thoughts from this old movie-like scene.

More than a dozen magical energy transporters with a length of more than six meters drove past them, and several of them were holding a group of veteran players with significantly different equipment and temperaments. In the back cars, there is a huge monster, I can't tell what kind of breed it is, just looking at that size makes people can't help but have a dry mouth. There were also a few cars with gray-white skeletons that looked like logs.

"This ...... This is the Magic Energy Transporter? Ou Liyan saw this kind of heavy truck similar to the real world with his own eyes, and his eyes were slightly stunned.

"Yes, I heard that all the traffic in various urban areas has been opened up now." Ding Guan pulled Ou Liyan to the side a few steps, looking at the mighty convoy, his eyes were also shining with strange light, "They should be from the hunting team, this ...... There are a lot of monsters in this world, and monsters are resources, and a lot of the leather armor on their bodies is made of monster leather, and you see the outer tire of the wheel, it seems to be made of some kind of sea monster leather and rubber, which is better than rubber. ”

"It's unbelievable!"

The information that Ou Liyan learned before was completely different from the emotions he really felt when he saw it with his own eyes.

In particular, he knew some inside information, and understood that it had taken less than a year for these magic energy transporters in front of him to form a scale from their appearance to the present, and despite the efforts of many big bulls and players, it was still beyond his imagination to be able to do this step from scratch.

"The power of magic energy is really amazing." Ding Guan can understand Ou Liyan's feelings, there are many shortcuts here, such as real-world technology, and players are basically high-quality talents who have received middle and higher education.

But in the final analysis, the reason why I was able to do this step quickly was the use of magic energy. From the unusual hardness and sharpness of enchanted metal weapons, which made it possible to cut quickly, to the creation of the Magic Engine, these are the things that have allowed the world to ignite the tech tree so quickly.

"By the way, Ding Guan, those players who just passed should be transcendental, right?" After Ou Liyan watched the car leave, he turned to Ding Guan and asked.

"I guess so." Ding Guan said with some uncertainty, "The price of potions is not expensive now, but I heard that the probability of awakening is much lower than the original potions, and many players need about two or three bottles of potions to awaken transcendent seeds, and even some unlucky ones may need seven or eight bottles." Oh, by the way, it seems that after some potions are awakened, they will make players transform into monsters, and their strength is more powerful than that of ordinary players. ”

"Well, our goal in the next stage is to completely understand this world's transcendent system." O'Liyan said the focus of their next mission.

"Is it to be able to ......," Ding Guan understood, and lowered his voice with the last few words, "Awakening in the real world?" ”

Ou Liyan nodded lightly, "The awakening that Advisor Mao told us is still a little too vague, and what we can't be sure of now is that he is the only one who has done it, or whether everyone else has done it." According to the previous information, although Advisor Mao is the first batch of Awakened Ones, his performance is actually not particularly outstanding, so it is very likely that many other players may have awakened in reality. ”

Although it is said that awakening in reality, in the eyes of Ou Liyan and Ding Guan, it is more possible to experience the awakening of nine deaths like Yu Tu, and the awakening through a step-by-step cultivation method.

But the actual performance is that Mao Ming, a player who awakened from drug use, took the lead in completing the awakening in the real world.

According to what Ou Liyan has learned, the advisors of Mao Ming and Yu Tu's two anomalous things team are relatively prominent among players, but one is the first mover advantage, and the other is the luck of holding on, in fact, it is not really the top.

Due to several monster attacks, the City Lord's Mansion obtained a large number of monster resources, and the price of potions was reduced to a considerable extent.

According to the data evaluated by their squad, the number of players who have awakened the Transcendent First Order is at least eight hundred to a thousand, and the number of the Transcendent Second Order should be a few dozen. It can be said that such a number of groups are likely to awaken in the real world.

Although there is no such energy as magic energy in the real world, judging from Mao Ming's situation, when awakening, a large amount of energy supply can be guaranteed to ensure the body's awakening needs, and it is basically possible to awaken to a considerable extent.

This large amount of energy intake, in terms of food, is probably enough to ensure that there are 120,000 kcal or more calories in just a few hours to ensure that the body does not break down.

Taking 1 kilogram of beef with 2880 calories as an example, it is probably within a few hours of awakening, which can ensure the caloric intake of more than 50 kilograms, which can basically meet the demand.

In the modern world of abundant materials, it is not difficult to meet this level of caloric intake in a short period of time, and even some energy-dense foods are easier to do.

"I've checked the information on the mall, and I think the key to Advisor Mao's awakening is not in the potion, but in that ...... Combat skills and training methods above. ”

Ding Guan listened to Ou Liyan's words and expressed his opinion.

"Well, let's focus on that." Ou Liyan nodded, then looked at Ding Guan and asked, "Then I'm ...... What do I need to do next, jump right in? ”

"This ......" Ding Guan scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "The price of that potion is now reduced, there are no requirements for purchase, and we can collect it." But...... But that combat skill and some cultivation methods, as well as skills or something, may ...... Probably still prestige. ”

"Prestige?" Ou Liyan nodded, "I know a little bit about this before, so how do I meet the prestige requirements?" ”

Ding Guan's face showed a little hesitation again, and pointed in the direction where many players were heading, "That European team, if you don't want to trouble the two advisors, then ...... So I think it's better to do that? ”

"What?" Ou Liyan was a little puzzled, and looked in the direction that Ding Guan was pointing. I saw a city wall like a mountain in front of me, and the quaint city wall dozens of meters high gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression at close range.

In one of the sections of the city wall, there was a gap about forty or fifty meters wide, and at this moment, dense players were working on the construction of the city wall with various magical energy machines.

"You're telling me to move bricks?"

"That...... That brick-moving reputation grows fast! ”
