After receiving Tang Mo's prompt, Alan thanked him, and said to Qiu Yu on the side: "Look at what's in the water tank in the initial room?" ”

"Water tank? I've been searching for that thing for a long time in the first place, and there's not much of it. Wait a minute! ”

Qiu Yu stared at the lines at the bottom of the water tank, feeling that something was not right.

He has carefully investigated everything in the novice village, he has turned over every wild cat to see the male and female, and he has tried every egg to see if he can hatch chicks, and the water tank is naturally no exception.

At a cursory glance, this tank can hide a person, and the porcelain is durable, and the grooves on it have worn out due to long-term use.

There was water in the water tank, and he made a spell to empty it, Qiu Yu jumped into the water tank, checked it inside for a long time, and even checked the traces inside according to the different light angles, and finally found some differences.

The cracks at the bottom seem to have become a little more.

There are already some cracks at the bottom of the water tank, which are usually not visible when filling with water, and no player is willing to check the so-called lines.

If it weren't for Tang Mo's prompt, then Qiu Yu wouldn't have paid attention to this detail at all.

After restarting the game, Qiu Yu compared the screenshots of the bottom of the two water tanks, and then found that the lines at the bottom really became a few more.

The extra lines look like a special symbol, but the strokes of the symbol blend perfectly into the other lines, making it difficult to tell what the symbol refers to.

The texture of the game will not be changed at will, so if Fangcheng Studio deliberately changed the texture of the water tank, then it can only mean one thing, there is a very important function involved here.

After discovering this, Qiu Yu's face showed an excited smile.

Really......

Fangcheng Studio, sure enough, there are still easter eggs hidden!

At this moment, Qiu Yu seemed to be enlightened, and the whole person instantly sobered up and began to search for relevant information again.

He restarted the game, and after each small phase, he would run back to observe the lines at the bottom of the tank and compare them to see what had changed.

After opening the game again with a new character, he came to the front of the water tank again after restarting Zhou Mu, and found that there was one more line inside the water tank.

From this he came to a conclusion.

That is, the texture at the bottom of the water tank is related to the number of weeks cleared.

There have been other players who have shown before that the perfect ending needs to get through Gao Zhoumu, but when the other party said this kind of thing, it was obviously a rumor, but this rumor seemed to hit the truth.

Subsequently, Qiu Yu discovered a new problem.

How many games do you need to pass?

The level clearance in the game is equivalent to a reincarnation, and every time the final boss is defeated, the player will be maliciously sent back to the time when the game started, but the protagonist in the game does not remember anything.

The more weeks you clear, the worse the plot will look, and the difficulty of the game will increase, and in the end it will be outrageously difficult.

Although he didn't know how many weeks it would take in the end, Qiu Yu decided to try it himself.

He had cleared the game six times before, and now he was in the seventh week, and the difficulty of the game was already so difficult that he wanted to find a modifier, but unfortunately, "Heavenly Demon", like other games in Fangcheng Studio, could not be modified at all.

After passing through the seven weeks with difficulty, he found that the shading had changed again, but it still looked incomplete when pulled out alone.

Compared with the previous changes, he felt that he would have to clear the customs at least nine weeks.

Finding that this had touched his limit, Qiu Yu understood that he couldn't fight alone.

"Alain, is there a special game forum on the Internet?" Qiu Yu asked during a break.

"Yes, I've got you covered. The ladder has been erected, you can just look at it. ”

“…… You're such a nice guy. ”

"Don't think I don't know you're scolding me."

Logging into the forum found by Alain, Qiu Yu found that this forum was very large, with a lot of posts every day, and most of the posts disappeared as soon as they appeared.

Foreign players are even more enthusiastic about the game "Heavenly Demon" than Qiu Yu imagined.

These players are already hardcore and have a strong ability to work under pressure, so it doesn't matter if they suffer while playing, as long as it's fun.

And although the degree of freedom of "Heavenly Demon" is not as great as that of other works of Fangcheng Studio, foreign players have never played other works, and "Heavenly Demon" alone is enough for them to exclaim incredible.

Therefore, although it has been on sale for a certain time, the discussion in the forum is still lively, allowing Qiu Yu to find that good games are really universal.

What makes Qiu Yu feel even more outrageous is that in this forum, players are not addressed to each other as buddies or companions, but as Taoist friends.

They will praise their friends, and some of them have even begun to read translated online texts from the past, talking about everything from Xianxia to fantasy.

Some players even taught themselves Chinese, and used the seemingly complex script "炁" as their ID, which made Qiu Yu feel the magic of reality.

The players who have passed each week are said to have passed several trials, and the strongest player has passed the eightfold trial and is starting to play the ninth.

What's even more terrifying is that this section has also opened up a new Chinese learning section, and many players have even begun to learn by themselves in order to better understand the background of "Heavenly Demons", which reminds Qiu Yu of the days when he memorized the world map in order to play "Age of Discovery".

Looking at the dazzling array of information and the appearance of a group of people exchanging Chinese learning experiences, Qiu Yu couldn't help but sigh: "This is the correct way to open up cultural invasion." ”

"Don't say it, this invasion is quite effective." Alan said while eating spicy roast rabbit, "I have a few former colleagues who have been asking me after playing "Heavenly Demon" whether the Chinese people are the same as in the game, meditating every day, becoming immortals, and then beating the gods and Buddhas. ”

Speaking of this, Alan paused, then looked at Qiu Yu and asked excitedly, "Wouldn't you also be an immortal?" Can you show me both hands? ”

"You're playing too much, aren't you?"

"Don't do this, you have to hide a hand from your good brother."

Dissatisfied, Alan pushed Alan away, and Qiu Yu continued to look at the forum.

Due to the lack of relevant cultural knowledge, many small details of foreign players have not been noticed, and some methods that can speed up the improvement of strength have not been discovered.

But thanks to the huge base, they still found a lot of routines and played a lot of tricks, which benefited Qiu Yu a lot.

And they prefer to share their insights and experiences in the game, and some of the short stories seem a bit touching.

In addition, there are a large number of users who are tirelessly creating a variety of secondary fanfiction, and many people's writing looks good.

They tried to write a different ending for every NBC they saw in the game, but unfortunately, most of the endings ended in tragedy.

Someone once asked, why did the author have to arrange such a tragic ending? Then the author explained that in that environment, he really couldn't think of how to use normal methods to let this group of people get a less tragic ending.

Some of the ones that seem refreshing are often forcibly intervened in the form of time travel or mechanical séance, but this will lose the atmosphere of "Heavenly Demon" itself, and make it impossible for the fandom to write.

Seeing this, Qiu Yu felt that this script was really good, and it could actually force the same people to death.

Qiu Yu's English is good, and there is no obstacle to reading what others write in the forum.

And there was also Alain next to help, so he quickly understood the use of this forum and started searching for what he wanted.

After reading through the various strategies and texts, he found that no one mentioned the problem of cracks under the water tank, which shows that no one has discovered this easter egg.

He had no choice but to leave a post on the forum and write about his in-game findings intact.

Not long after he finished the post, the post sank.

There are too many people who post in the "Heavenly Demon" forum every day, and a large number of players share their experiences here, and it is difficult to get up with the post if there is nothing special.

And there are so many rumors about the perfect ending of the game, and every day people claim to have found new easter eggs, but in the end they are basically rumors.

found that the post was sinking, and Qiu Yu could only return to "Heavenly Demon", continue the game, and pay attention to the forum from time to time to see if anyone has the heart to find out.

Not long after, a player logged into the forum. Start searching for materials.

Eric is one of the few players on the forums to reach the ninth level of trial.

The plot of "Heavenly Demon" gave him a great shock, making him think about tea and dinner every day, and he wanted to find a perfect ending.

Although many players have shown that there is no such thing as a perfect ending in this game, there is only the deepest despair in the game.

But there are also a small number of players who have played other games of Fangcheng Studio, indicating that there must be easter eggs in the studio's games, and easter eggs will turn everything around.

Although he has not played other games, he believes that the perfect ending of the game must exist.

This belief has become a belief of his, and even if he was abused by the ninth week of the game, he still adheres to this original intention and continues to play this game.

Tonight, as usual, he searched for information in the forum, turning through the pages in chronological order.

He also saw Qiu Yu's post, but he only stopped for a moment, and then began to read the next one.

At its peak, there were more than 300 rumors like this every day.

Although it has gradually subsided, there are still more than a dozen of them every day, and most of them are logical, coherent, and seem to be true, but in the end they are all rumors.

Flipping through the new posts, Eric didn't find what he was looking for, so he restarted the game again.

In between playing, he pulled out his notebook and reworked his plan.

By week nine, the game's difficulty had risen to the point of being incredible, and it was an extremely masochistic game.

Monsters will become more difficult, there will be more moves to kill in one hit, emergencies will become more frequent, and most of them will have negative results.

If you are not careful, you will lose all the games.

In the nine-week game, time management must be in place. The game itself has a time drain setting, so what to do needs to be planned in advance so that many events don't have time to deal with.

In this case, personal skills are no longer very important, because the skills are not enough, and the first few weeks will not be able to pass at all.

He didn't go live today, but was ready to challenge the content of the nine-week program from scratch.

As soon as he entered the game, he was about to hurry up and get out of here, when he was caught by the water tank next to him.

Originally, he didn't want to care about this thing, but thinking back to the post he had read before, Ericzong felt a little uneasy.

He walked over in a daze, drained the water from the tank, and began to observe the lines at the bottom.

At first, he didn't see anything wrong.

But just as he was about to leave, the change in angle made him realize that the lines at the bottom seemed to be some kind of symbol.

Looking at it from this angle, he saw that the pattern did not look like it was a natural formation, but a deliberate imprint left by someone.

Cutting down the pattern and searching for it in the form of a picture search, he found that the symbol resembled a certain kind of rune in Taoism, but it always felt as if it was not complete.

Like Qiu Yu, he also reopened the game, and then compared the pictures from a weekend, and found that this picture was really unusual.

As a streamer who knows a lot about games, he knows very well that this thing means that the game's developers have planted an easter egg here, and this easter egg may well mean a truly happy ending.

At this moment, Eric's heart jumped wildly.

He couldn't wait to log back into the forum, find the post sent by Qiu Yu, and then replied inside: [I verified it, and then confirmed that the content of this post is true. Cracks do appear underneath the water tank in the initial room, and the crack pattern looks like this. 】

Crack .jpg

[Qiu Yu Daoyou, how did you find this easter egg? ] So what do these cracks have to do with it? 】

Before seeing Eric's reply, Qiu Yu was boredly scrolling through the forum.

When he saw this post appear, he immediately came to his senses, and then quickly replied:

[Eric Daoyou, this easter egg was obtained by us through inquiry. The person who revealed the easter egg is the original author of the Heavenly Devil, so I believe in the authenticity of this product. So far, I've only been through seven trials. But I'm sure that the more trials we go through, the more lines we have, and the closer we get to the truth. 】

Erik: [I see, then Daoyou Qiu, how many trials do you think it will take to finally activate this symbol?] 】

[Probably Kuju. 】

Looking at this reply, Eric breathed a sigh of relief.

He is now in the ninth week, as long as he works hard, then he may not be able to get through the final difficulties and see the final ending.

However, if he wants to find the easter eggs as soon as possible, he needs more people to help.

So, he asked in the post: [Qiu Yu Daoyou, you are from Huaxia, right? I want to find someone to work with me to overcome this difficulty, would you like to come with me? 】

[Of course.] 】

A temporary "Heavenly Demon" transnational strategy team was established.
