412. Wonders of the Universe
The location of the plot NPC that players have been waiting for for a long time has finally been revealed by the game's official website.
However, the game's dog planner does not directly specify the specific spatial coordinates, but acts like a riddler, providing players with three clues for players to find NPCs on their own.
These three clues are described in words, and there are no pictures to refer to.
Ordinary players are faced with such simple content, shouting that the planning is not appropriate, and waiting for the plot decryption party like the cucumber slice team to help them solve their doubts.
Cucumber slices and others are actually not much better than ordinary players.
Just because of the three clues published on the official website, no matter how you look at it, it seems that it has nothing to do with the underground treasure room of the planet Lisom-13.
In the cucumber slice studio, the players on the team gathered in the conference room and started brainstorming.
The appearance of the players in the game is very similar to that in reality, and none of you have made much use of the game's beauty tools to embellish themselves.
This is the rule set by cucumber slices, so as not to show their true appearance and be used by people with bad intentions first, and then use it to deceive.
The big guy sat in the conference room, thinking about the clues given by the official website.
"How do I feel, the clue displayed on the official website describes the location of Lisom-13."
A small player asked to break the dullness.
Everyone nodded, and looked at the cucumber slices in unison.
The cucumber slice sat on the chair with his arms crossed, his brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice:
"Yes, I think so too. I asked Strawberry Juice to look up the game's database, and I couldn't find a spot that matched all three clues. ”
The game's database is officially created, and you can look up basic information about known galaxies, as well as panoramic images to view.
The first clue provided by the game's official website is: EC9-DT5-4ER-TGF.
This is a standard set of spatial coordinates, prepared with reference to the navigation guidelines of the Integrated Bureau. Players can import it directly into the library and then convert it into a more detailed text description.
This set of spatial coordinates points to the deep space of the Lisom system.
The so-called deep space zone refers to areas that cannot be directly reached by jumping.
Any starship can only send a deep space probe into the deep space zone first, and then it can be guided by the signal fed back by the probe to reach that area.
As a veteran plot party player, cucumber slices and others are all too familiar with the deep space zone.
That place is usually set up as a quest space by the game.
Ships that jump to arrive there will automatically join the dungeon and start a battle with monsters, or carry out rescue, decryption, interception, and other missions.
It is not difficult to crack this first clue.
The difficulty lies in the second and third articles.
The second clue reads: Access to this area is restricted to those piloting the escape pod.
The third clue is: once inside, you can't leave unless you are allowed to.
That's a bit of nonsense.
There are no defense or fire systems on the escape pods.
Jumping into the Lisom system with an escape pod and then into deep space is a gift to the ill-intentioned player.
There will definitely be people who have nothing to do when they are full, squatting in the Lisom system, scanning the escape pod in all directions, and then extorting money, or even directly opening up the red and masturbating.
"Did the skeletal-looking NPC change places?"
A player asked.
"Judging from the clues in hand, it looks like this." The other player replied.
"Why did he change places? It's weird. ”
"If Boss Jin goes online and can't find an NPC, won't he be crazy."
"By the way, do you know what that NPC is called?"
As soon as this question came out, the scene fell silent.
yes, what's an NPC called?
From beginning to end, the game interface refers to that NPC in the form of a question mark.
Everyone didn't have any more impressions than knowing that he was a skeleton.
Seeing that the maintenance was about to end, everyone still didn't discuss a reason.
When there is still half an hour left before leaving the server, the cucumber slice can only end the meeting, so that everyone is ready to go online and take a step at a time.
Time passed in anxious waiting.
Half an hour later, players put on game helmets, leaned back in chairs, and officially went live.
Lisom system.
Dicata Federal Space Naval Academy, logistics engineering space station.
The space station, which was deserted one second, is lively the next.
Players scream and run through the corridors and rush to the terminal to rent the space station's escape pod.
The players in the space station are basically members of the Golden Dragon in the Heavenly Guild.
Only a handful of people passed the Ring 1 Trial quest and got the magic egg before maintenance.
Most of them had just arrived at the station and set up a safe zone for resurrection before maintenance.
Without the urging of the golden dragon in the sky, there will naturally be players who are not afraid of losing experience and take the lead and explore the way to the location where the three clues point first.
After using the deep space probe to lock on to the target location, the first escape pods departed.
The egg-like escape pod turns into a white light and enters the transition tunnel.
Soon, the shocking news came from the destination, causing a warm response in the guild's chat channel.
"! it! it! ”
"Don't just lie down, you're talking about things!"
"Tell me, tell me, what's going on there!"
The player who sent back the message is gone, and their avatar has been temporarily out of touch, making it appear as if they are in a combat mode.
Strangely, the players who entered the battle with the escape pod were not immediately destroyed and returned to the space station to respawn.
This bizarre scene lasted for about three minutes before it was broken.
A player who had previously completed the first round of trial tasks left the game by forcibly going offline, and then used real-life chat software to send the information of the destination to Jinlong Zaitian.
Jin Long didn't hide it in the sky, and directly announced it in the in-game chat group.
It turned out that at some point, a black hole with a diameter of about 10 kilometers appeared in that deep space area.
That's right, it's the kind of black hole that even light can't escape from it.
It's just that this black hole is a bit strange.
For one, it can be observed with the naked eye.
Second, it doesn't affect the use of deep space probes, it just can't be scanned.
Its visual effect is that of a round black celestial body.
The player's escape pod will be sucked into it as soon as it gets close to it.
During this process, the escape pod will be destroyed, and the player's soul will be separated from the body and drift into the black hole, while the body will be stranded.
According to the player who was forced to go offline, after entering the black hole, he will find himself in the form of a soul, in a town full of classical atmosphere.
Next to the town is a magic academy where players can register and participate in trials.
In other words, the new map updated in this expansion pack is built on a black hole.
When the player enters the map, they enter the black hole.
This unique way of loading the map made the players who heard the news cry out for novelty, and it was a rare praise for the planning of the brain.
So is there a way to leave this new map?
The answer is yes.
But somewhat harsh.
Only by completing the Ring 1 Trial quest and officially registering as a wizard apprentice of the Academy of Magic can you freely enter and exit the black hole.
This player, who forced himself offline, would definitely spend more time running out of the plot of the registered apprentice if he hadn't thought about bringing the news back as soon as possible.
With a wave of his hand, the golden dragon rewarded a guild point with pride, and then ordered all guild members to set off.
The army of Wu Yangyang's escape pods was dispatched, turning into white light and flying towards the black hole.
After they left, players from other galaxies arrived at the station belatedly and set up a safe zone.
At this time, there is gossip about the new map in the black hole.
As soon as the front foot arrives at the space station, many players can't wait to change into the escape pod and set off.
Tao Jinghe is also one of them.
He took advantage of the game's paid service to build a new character with a high-level planetary background, named "Reborn I Don't Be a Cow and Horse".
When he heard that the new map was a black hole, Tao Niuma couldn't help muttering to himself:
"The name of the hidden class assignment I received was 'Eliminate the Black Hole Visitor'. At the time, I didn't understand why it was called that, but now I know that the new map is a black hole. Does that mean that destroying the Black Hole Visitor is to set me against the players who join the Academy of Magic? ”
Tao Niu Ma pondered carefully.
First, he had to be sure of one thing.
He didn't know if he would be able to join the Academy of Magic after receiving the task of "Destroy the Black Hole Visitor".
If he couldn't, he wouldn't have made a trip for nothing, and he would have missed the opportunity to take up a new career in the Department of Magic.
With such a big loss, it is difficult for Tao Niuma to accept.
But when he thought that if he didn't do what the task said, then in reality, there would be a black rope to strangle himself, and Tao Niu Ma couldn't help but shiver.
"Forget it, forget it, let's go to the black hole first, it's a new map."
Tao Niu Ma boarded the escape pod provided by the space station and set off for the black hole.
In a few moments, he and a large group of players arrived at their destination.
Almost as soon as their escape pod exited the jump tunnel, the suction from the black hole acted on the escape pod and their bodies.
Everyone passively floated towards the black hole, and gradually felt that their bodies were weak and cold.
As the players watched in amazement, they saw their souls detach from their bodies in the form of translucent phantoms, floating out of the cabin uncontrollably.
Many players have turned on the camera function to record the whole process of entering the black hole.
Tao Niu Ma was scared, for fear that he would suddenly die.
Fortunately, he has been safe from leaving the escape pod to setting foot in the rumored magic town.
Looking left and right, Tao Niu Ma suddenly felt relaxed.
Indeed, it's a magical town with beautiful mountains and beautiful scenery.
It is built halfway up the mountainside, and the terrain is progressively too high.
Below is a clear river like a white ribbon, and the banks are full of greenery and life.
Above are towering mountains, and the Academy of Magic is built on the mountain, which is magnificent.
In the sky, there are many magic elves wearing hoods and magic robes, and they are less than half a meter tall.
The elves are fair-skinned, pleasant-looking, and have pointed ears.
They form an orchestra and play upbeat songs in the air, or they drive small magic carriages to transport supplies.
There are also elves riding white winged warhorses and carrying magic staffs, cruising and patrolling the air in style.
It's hard not to yearn for such a magical town.
While indulging in the atmosphere of the town, Tao Niuma also has a sense of superiority in his heart.
He's no ordinary gamer.
He received a hidden mission, which is an incomparable advantage for ordinary players.
He was able to take on a career in the magic department while receiving additional rewards from the Dark Godborn.
This kind of business with half the effort can make any player wake up with a smile when they dream.
Tao Niu Ma was content, followed the guidance of the sign, and walked towards the gate of the Academy of Magic.
What he didn't know was that several elves stared at him, and their eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.
…
…
Inside the castle of the Academy of Magic.
Li Nuo sat at the large dark red desk, staring at the magic glass ball in front of him.
Through the perspective of the elves, he saw the crowd of "I am not a cow and a horse of rebirth".
Li Nuo was sure that this guy should have been polluted by the Dark God Descent Cult and degenerated into a junior Dark Priest.
Lenovo's basis is not the result of detecting magic, but rather passive deconstruction.
He used a spell called "Artificial Black Hole" to create this unique space.
"Artificial Black Hole" is a domain-type spell, not an offensive or defensive spell.
Although it comes with some of its own ability to warp space, it does not expand on its own and devour everything like a real black hole.
In addition, the casting conditions of this spell are relatively harsh, and it can only be cast once every six months.
If it receives more than 1,200 trillion or so of magical energy at a time, it will shatter and disappear.
As for the effect of the black hole extracting the player's soul from the body, it is achieved by the spell "Soul Extraction".
The usual detection magic and the game's provided player name board make it impossible to detect the frustration in some players.
However, in the process of soul extraction, passive deconstruction will trigger normally, so Li Nuo can know the result of each player's deconstruction.
In the result of the player's solution in front of him, the words "Faction: Dark God Sect" appeared.
Not only him, but more than twenty other players, also had this situation.
One thing these players all have in common is that their characters are new and have only been established for a long time.
They have only one class in their class slot: Junior Space Marine, level 0.
Their gaming wallets, resumes, and so on, are all blank.
Judging from the previous information, this kind of player who has recently deleted the character is the target of the Dark God Sect.
Li Nuo pondered for a few seconds, brought up the game interface in his mind, and activated the reporting function.
Like this kind of black sheep, it's better not to let them interfere with their own academy affairs, so as not to raise tigers.
Li Nuo filled in the IDs of the 22 players in the report column in one go, and then clicked OK.
After a short wait, Li Nuo witnessed the 22 players being forced offline in a stunned expression.
"Hmm~ good, good. It seems that the plane core behind the game "Star Sea" is still quite concerned about the pollution of the Dark God Descent Sect, and it actually sealed their account so quickly. ”
Li Nuo nodded in satisfaction and continued to observe the visitor in secret.
Several fleets with very different styles from the players have jumped to the vicinity of the Black Hole.
Li Nuo switched the observation screen and saw the insignia on the fleet clearly.
"Huh? How did I bring in the people from the Unification Bureau? Hiss... Wait, are these alien natives who are just NPCs for players also planning to pursue a career in the magic department? (End of chapter)
