Chapter 53: Temptation
Meng Yuan returned to the Order's space.
He didn't need to worry about the things at the event site, because the traces of the scene had been erased by the participating merchants, and the demons that appeared had also been recovered by the participating merchants.
Martial law and other matters will also be handled by Du Gang and his colleagues.
It doesn't matter whether the players have a dinner party in person or go back to their homes after the group event, or how they discuss it online, let them decide for themselves.
For Meng Yuan, he now has more important things to do.
Seeing Meng Yuan, the participating businessman gave a thumbs up and praised: "Well done!"
"I didn't expect your plan to be really feasible, and this demon invasion incident was perfectly resolved.
"Without your player development plan, it would have been a bit of a hassle to resolve this incident.
"Moreover, your acting skills are also good, you deliberately suppressed your combat power, perfectly integrated into the player group, and were not suspected by the players."
Meng Yuan was silent for a moment: "Is there a possibility, it is not acting, but my true strength?" ”
The participants were speechless for a while.
Meng Yuan didn't dwell on this question, and after looking her up and down, he said, "Didn't you absorb some power?" It looks like nothing has changed at all. ”
Shen Shang sighed softly: "What I absorbed this time is just the power of a few demons in a small historical slice, not even a dessert after dinner, how can there be obvious changes?" ”
Meng Yuan: "How do you feel like you're working in vain?" ”
The merchant shook his head: "It's not enough to work in vain. On the one hand, this time it is to prevent the demons from destroying reality, and more importantly, we can use these demons that appear in reality to trace back to that historical slice, and then use the power to generate the corresponding simulated trial to prepare for entering that slice. ”
After a brief discussion with the participants, Meng Yuan quickly finalized the next goal.
In general, demons invade reality through slices of history, and although they have appeared in the past, this is the first time in the last few hundred years.
The battle between the Order and the Demons is a tug-of-war, as the Orderers are constantly cleaning up slices of history and heading towards the realm where the demons were entrenched in ancient times, and the farther they progress, the safer the real world becomes.
However, with the increase of history, people's collective memory of ancient history becomes more and more blurred, the stronger the power of demons, and the more difficult it is to penetrate reality.
In ancient times, although demons had invaded reality, they had all been properly dealt with by the Order. At that time, the news was not developed, and at most it left an illusory legend of demons and monsters, so as not to expose anything.
However, modern technology is developed, information circulation is too fast, and the power of demons happens to reach its peak in hundreds of years, so the situation is extremely tricky.
If he still followed the old method, Meng Yuan could indeed concentrate the power of all the Orderers on himself and go to these locations one by one to clean up the demons, but in that case, it would inevitably leak secrets, and it was also very likely that there would be some unnecessary casualties.
It was precisely because there was nothing the original owner could do that he chose to make the news public.
And Meng Yuan himself is a rookie, so he doesn't need to worry about whether he wants to go to it in person. By disguised as a game, this problem is properly solved.
It's just that the situation is still grim.
The players have only eliminated a handful of demons from that slice of history.
As time goes by, that slice of history will continue to overlap with reality, and more demons will come to reality when the time comes.
If you use this method to solve it every time, it is inevitable that there will be a rollover.
Therefore, Meng Yuan's next goal is very clear: to find a way to organize players to attack this historical slice, destroy all the demons inside, absorb its power, and transform this historical slice into a frontier barrier in the real world!
It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do.
Because the real world is equivalent to the home of Meng Yuan, the orderer, and the tampered historical slice is equivalent to the home field of demons.
It was difficult for Meng Yuan to teleport all the players over with great fanfare and have a hard-fought battle with the demons.
"You can think of the demon-controlled history slice as a hard walnut, if we were strong enough, we could just break the walnut, but that would be too costly, and we can't do it now.
"So, we had to find a way to get through the cracks in the walnut, find its core, find a way to disintegrate from the inside and create a breakthrough. After that, you can send all the players in with great fanfare.
"This shell is history that has been distorted and tampered with. Once its truth is discovered and restored, the power of the demon will be greatly weakened.
"According to the methods of the Orderers in the past, they first used the power of the Orderers to create a trial illusion that simulated the corresponding historical slice, and after repeated attempts and full certainty, they then found a way to infiltrate the historical slice controlled by the demons, find the key nodes that have been distorted and tampered with, and correct them, so as to create a breakthrough, and then use the power of the Orderers to sweep away the demons in it."
Meng Yuan nodded: "Well, now we still have to go through this process, just to guide the player to complete all this."
"First of all, we used the power we absorbed, located that slice of history, copied and created a new Trials Illusion, and let the players challenge it.
"Then, when the players gradually crack it, I will select the players with the best simulation results in Trials Illusion and send them into this slice of history to dismantle the power of demons from within.
"When the distorted history is corrected, we can logically open up new battlefields, send players over on a large scale, completely sweep away the demons of this slice of history, and then build it into our frontier.
And to describe it in game terms......
"After the warm-up of the offline event 'Demon Invasion', Dark Sand will open a single-player dungeon of a new historical line. Once the player has cleared the level, the top players on the leaderboard can be selected to challenge the 'Hell Difficulty' of this quest.
"After the Hell difficulty dungeon is also cleared, the network mode of this history line will be opened, and a large number of players will be able to enter the slice world where this dungeon is located to experience the multiplayer network team battle gameplay and other content.
"Well, the rhythm is perfect."
Meng Yuan felt that he was getting more and more in charge of game operations.
"However, there are a few points to pay special attention to. Once I've entered the real history slice, I can't limit the player's pain perception anymore, which means that there is a big difference between fighting in the real history slice and fighting in the Trials Fantasy.
"Moreover, although we have a tolerance rate in the history slice, each failure requires a lot of power to return everything to the original point, so it is okay to fail once or twice, and it will be difficult to clean up any more.
In addition, these slices of history that have been occupied and tampered with by demons are basically events that have not been recorded in historical records. If there is, it has been tampered with.
"Because it is very difficult to invade the slices of history that people have a clear collective memory, and when demons invade those forgotten histories, the difficulty is greatly reduced.
In other words, it is difficult for players to copy the standard answers by looking up historical materials this time. If you still rely entirely on historical records, you may even be completely misled.
"This means that the difficulty of all aspects will increase dramatically for the player.
"I'm not sure if they'll be able to play like that."
Meng Yuan was full of confidence: "You have to worry too much about this." As long as these settings are written into the game's update announcement, players will naturally think of a solution.
"This increase in difficulty is not a big problem for true hardcore gamers."
……
At night.
Zhao Haiping, who had slept all afternoon, got up from the bed, feeling sore and hungry.
After ordering a high-calorie takeout and eating a big meal, I finally felt rejuvenated.
"After an offline MR activity, I felt more tired than going to the gym to practice for three hours. If I do more such activities in the future, I am afraid that I will not train to become an athlete. ”
After eating and drinking, Zhao Haiping collapsed on the sofa in the living room, checking the discussion among players on the forum on the official website of "Dark Sand".
Overall, the event was very effective and the response was overwhelming.
The number of monsters that appear in each offline event venue is different, and there are certain differences in the playing style of players.
For example, in the activity area where Huo Yunying was located, there were only six players in total, and one Dongyi Shadow Attendant and two Dongyi Thief Soldiers were refreshed in the venue.
Huo Yunying himself restrained Dongyi Shadow Attendant, and the other players were also very cooperative, and soon ended the battle without danger.
In comparison, Zhao Haiping's activity area where they were located had the longest battle time because of the refreshed of General Dongyi and the largest number of monsters.
Of course, from another point of view, the battles are also the most exciting.
There are also some players who are discussing how this MR effect is done, after all, they have seen a player being picked off by General Dongyi, and it is clear that the player should not have flown or even wrestled.
Including some players who fought bloodily, rolled on the ground, and left the game without any dust on their bodies.
Some players speculate that it may be because they are experiencing it in a state of conscious connection, which means that their actions in the game are different from their actual actions, but the game official bridges the difference between reality and virtual through black technology, which is called real MR technology.
Of course, it's all speculation, after all, the official has never explained this, and players can only try to make up for it.
There are too many black technologies that cannot be understood in the game "Dark Sand", and players are almost used to it.
There are also a few players who said that the difficulty of this event seems to be a bit low, and it can't be compared with the previous trial dungeons.
But most players feel that there is no problem, after all, this is just an offline event, if the difficulty is really too high, the players are playing hard, or even failing, it can only mean that there is a problem with the arrangement of the game side.
The intensity like this is just right.
All in all, most players are satisfied with this event.
There is only one thing: there are too few places!
There are only so many players involved, and other players can't even see the video of the scene, so they can only make up the battle situation at that time according to the descriptions of a few players who have experienced it, which is simply simple.
Players are urging that there will be more events like this.
At least all the first- and second-tier cities have to arrange it, right? It's not too much to have a dozen players per field, right?
And other players said, don't talk about MR mode, what about the new beta player slots?
All in all, you can't play it, and you can't talk about the game experience!
Soon, though, the hot topics that players were discussing on the forums were diverted.
Because shortly after the offline event of "Demon Invasion" ended, two quite heavy news appeared on the Internet.
One is that after the warm-up of this event, "Dark Sand" will update the historical line of the late Dasheng Dynasty, that is, the official game content in the real sense that is different from the original four trial illusions.
Of course, the previously promised increase in the number of closed beta players will also be implemented.
The other is that TV stations and many official media have reported on the game and explained the epoch-making technical principles used in the game!
