Chapter 273 Player: Huh? Let Me Find X?
A few closed beta players are like an inconspicuous drop of water to the big city of Xidu. They are not eye-catching, and they are all poor. They cannot affect the general trend for the time being.
There are many job opportunities in Xidu. You can join the Star Dragon Army at the recruitment office at the checkpoint. In the slums of District 8, there are some last remaining evil forces that are about to be destroyed. They are recruiting death squads, but they do not accept new people, only ruthless people.
Of course, there is still no one who dares to apply. All knowledgeable people in Xidu know that Thunder Fire Sword has become a trend and will soon rule the underground world. Joining the remaining evil forces at this time is like joining the national army in 1949.
Several closed beta players wanted to join, but they didn't meet the requirements and were kicked out... After being kicked out, they said that they actually didn't really want to join the evil forces, so they just gave it a try.
Various shops on the street also have countless daily tasks. Maybe grabbing a passerby while walking on the street can trigger daily tasks such as "finding a missing wallet" or "catching a kitten climbing a tree". There are also various shops. Recruiting part-time workers can make money, which confirms the players’ inference that the new map contains countless opportunities.
Of course, Xidu is a high-level map after all, and many places are not open to low-level novices. There are times when a few people hit a wall. Places such as colleges and governments are all shut out. Places like the first district are the whole The area was locked. Flash Fried Rice went to the first area and was shot out by the sentry at gunpoint. He almost died as a virgin.
It was at this time that Han Xiao met them and began to test his NPC mechanism.
In order to carefully test the limitations of various aspects of the released tasks, Han Xiao continued to issue various bizarre tasks to the trio, including "kicking the butts of ten passers-by", "taking off the pants of patrol policemen", "golden rooster independent little swan-style rotation" Five minutes", "Put your butt up and shout three times, "Stand still", etc...
All this was seen by Gu Meng, who lamented that Technician Han and he really had the same interests.
The female player couldn't bear it, and Ming Yue was in pain and happy for a long time.
These tasks are full of bad tastes that expose tastes, but the experience given by Han Xiao is several times more than that of novice tasks. For the sake of experience, Mingyue Chang finally broke his pure and innocent heart with his own hands and obeyed.
Why are my eyes filled with tears? It is a desperate indictment of this world of heavy taste.
The reward for giving up his integrity allowed him to quickly upgrade, learn various basic skills from Han Xiao, and contribute a lot of experience to Han Xiao.
In fact, the internal testing has little impact on the overall situation. Compared with the population of the entire planet, the internal testing players scattered all over Aquamarine are just a drop in the ocean. Players who want to influence the pattern of the novice planet must at least grow for a long time. The internal testing only has Twelve days, nothing can be done.
A small group of inconspicuous abnormal cyclones on the sea, after continuous accumulation, will become a storm sweeping the world.
The internal beta players are all poor and don’t have much money, but in the long run, players are the largest consumer group.
Although Gu Meng's power has not yet fully risen, it can be considered a lot for novice players. He can help some players who have joined Thunder Fire Sword, such as the growth of Mad Sword and Fury Sword. This is his layout.
Relying on his mission and the skills and equipment purchased from him, Crazy Blade and Furious Sword should have outstanding performance when everyone has not grown up. Even if Crazy Blade and Furious Sword wants to keep a low profile, the club he belongs to will not agree. , will definitely promote it, thereby arousing other players to be curious about the opportunities of Furious Sword, thereby expanding their potential customer base.
When the time comes to raise his arms and take the initiative to contact him, he will be overwhelmed by the overwhelming experience.
Gu Meng was also aware of Mad Blade and Furious Sword's little intention of keeping Thunder Fire Sword secret, but he didn't take it seriously. It was human nature, but it was destined to fail.
The young man thought that he was special and only had letters, and that he would be joined by at most three other players later on. In fact, it was not the case. props for the Thunder Fire Sword were everywhere, and the Furious Sword and Fury Sword could only take the first step.
How far you can go in the future depends on opportunities.
If his sword, body, mind, and strength are all in line, he can later exchange for the Molten Lin Sword and the Whirling Sword, and master the abilities of Fierce Flame Slash, Flame Lin Fierce Flame Slash, Whirlpool Defense, Howling Attack, and Howling Palm, and become The real "Crazy Sword and Raging Sword" would not be impossible even if a pair of armor was specially built for him.
Time passes.
…
On this day, Gu Meng logged into Amon's account and browsed the player forum.
The player forum is an authoritative platform for players to communicate. It is usually used to kill time when setting up stalls and waiting for resurrection. Currently, only closed beta players and Gu Meng post in it.
Han Xiao can now read the post. When he was reading the post, he also discovered the so-called robot village chief.
Of course he didn't do this kind of thing before he was reborn, and it was Aquamarine, so maybe he caused the butterfly effect?
After a reaction that was so simple that no reasoning was needed, Han Xiao guessed that it must be related to the Dark Lord.
Perhaps in a world where he had not been reborn, the Dark Lord had left Aquamarine directly. The sea of stars was vast, and it was normal for him to hide somewhere and not appear again. However, due to his influence, the Dark Lord seemed to believe that there would be something important on Aquamarine. , need guidance, so...
Did he activate this hidden mentor NPC, causing him to spread his forces to various novice villages and improve the welfare of new players in Aquamarine?
This is the only way to understand it. Han Xiao seems to understand everything and make sense. He is really a genius.
…
There are various posts on the forum, similar to Tieba.
"The women in Aquamarine Star Ruilan are so beautiful!"
One glance confirmed the truth and identified it as Lao Se Pi.
"Urgently looking for players to team up to challenge the Yellow Sand Bandits, location: Changge Star - Luolong Valley, coordinates..."
Normal players.
"Captured the scenery of the magic floating city on Palaiton Star."
Traveling players.
"I was randomly turned into a tentacle monster. Please tell me how to change my race. Waiting online!"
Players with too low purity actually want to change their race?
"Damn, I want to change with you. I want to be a tentacle monster!"
Well, this is a normal player.
Posts are generally for help and information sharing, and some guilds show team progress to increase their reputation.
There are more than a dozen novice planets, including magic civilization, ancient civilization, science fiction civilization, martial arts civilization, religious civilization, etc., with many races and different social forms.
The most popular is Frost Winter Star, the territory of the Void Demon Clan and one of the strongholds of the Extinction Legion. Most of the players there are not human.
How to say it, every time I see the name of the Extinction Legion, Gu Meng always has a subtle pain in the balls. Asking is a tribute.
Suddenly a new post appeared and was instantly pinned to the top, attracting his attention.
"The first A-level mission!"
Gu Meng remembered that before Han Xiao was reborn, there were so many planets, and B-level missions had to wait until the public beta. There were no B-level missions, so where did the A-level missions come from?
These were all related to the trend of the planets. Destroying the sprouts was only A-level. How could the new players have such courage to accept such a mission?
Gu Meng clicked in curiously, and saw a bunch of players discussing nonsense below.
"You must be kidding me. I haven't even seen a D-level mission."
"The above poster is an idiot. The post has pictures and the truth!"
"It must be photoshopped. Otherwise, why would they only screenshot the mission name and not the mission content?"
"Isn't that funny? They released it so that you can take the mission?"
"It must be very difficult. We haven't even passed the novice period. How can we complete it?"
"The publisher is the Protoss Guild. They are elites. Maybe they can find a way."
"Can anyone tell me which planet this is?"
"I'm patting everyone's head with a smile."
"Sorry, my Wangcai ran away."
"Maybe it's Aquamarine. There are many village chiefs in the Novice Village near the Star Dragon who have missions above D-level."
"That's a long way off."
"Maybe it's the robot leader."
Gu Meng read the whole post at a glance before reading the content.
The post only posted a screenshot of the mission name, and that screenshot was actually related to Gu Meng.
"A-level mission: [Investigate X]."
Oh, it's related to me. That's not surprising.
For current players, it is extremely difficult to find Gu Meng, and it will have a great impact on the future. No wonder it is designated as an A-level task.
They can only have a slight chance by relying on their numbers and their fearlessness.
To be honest, there are only a few forces on Aquamarine that are qualified to issue A-level tasks. The Six Nations should not give such a high priority to it. It can only be the embryonic organization.
Looking at the poster again, the official ID is the Protoss Guild, the Guild of the Temple Club.
There are various introductions on the forum. Gu Meng searched for a while and relevant knowledge has already flooded into his mind.
The Temple Club is a wealthy family in the professional circle. It has produced countless great gods and has its own industrial chain and large guild.
"But... who gave them the courage to take this task..."
Gu Meng sighed. Although he is just a robot and has always had a good temper, he will kill the whole family of evil forces if he says so, but he also has some self-knowledge. He knows that sometimes there will always be various emotions generated in people's hearts. Once he gets angry, it is not as simple as killing the whole family.
Player, killing is not enough, you should capture him alive and let him feel real fear.
Speaking of which, even a group of new players in the internal test can receive the task of investigating him. It seems that Mengya is also anxious and determined to kill him. Ha, jumping clown, I don't care, but you are chasing me relentlessly. I gave you face, right?
Gu Meng's eyes flashed red, and there was a hint of coldness.
At this time, the outside world was having a meeting, and the little black man was crawling on the ground in a dark and twisted manner.
Whether the cadres attending the meeting were brainwashed or not, they could feel an amazing murderous aura and evil thoughts coming from Gu Meng, and they couldn't help but tremble with fear... What kind of ruthless person dared to provoke the Dark Lord.
...
The Protoss Guild has 15 internal test quotas, which fully interprets what the privileged class is. The president and vice president personally brought some masters of the core group into the internal test. After discussion, they expressed their inclination towards technology in the system questionnaire survey.
Their idea was simple. Since the background of "Star Ocean" was the stars in the universe, technology must be the main theme. With this choice, the Protoss Guild was assigned to the Aquamarine Planet and quickly raised money to buy a map.
After careful consideration, President Jupiter chose the Germination Organization as the initial camp. It happened that there was a Germination base near the town of Crow Forest where they were born.
Jupiter felt that the Germination Organization should be the strongest camp. It was hostile to all countries on the entire planet and could still exist safely. How unfathomable its power must be.
As for who was right about the NPC camp's philosophy and whether they were anti-human, it had nothing to do with them. Only patients with advanced Internet addiction would care about the life and death of a group of NPCs, and they all needed to be treated by Yang's technology.
The facts did not disappoint the Protoss Guild. After joining the Germination Camp, they were taken to a new scene called the Dark Crow Valley Base, officially becoming a low-level member of the Germination Organization and receiving a large number of training tasks.
The biggest surprise was the A-level mission [Investigate X]. Even the God Clan Guild didn't expect to have such a big reward. The reward made them very excited.
The mission prompt was very brief. It was only known that the mission target X was in the territory of Xinglong, suspected to be in Xidu. The rest of the clues were unknown. If they upgraded within the sprout, they might be able to obtain more secret information.
To put it bluntly, they were able to receive this mission because the sprout was anxious. This mission was for everyone, but secrets like aliens were not known to everyone.
The rumor that if you want to find X, you must first find Zero has expired. Zero seems to have stopped working with X. The sprout believes that Zero should still be in the 13th Bureau, but X is of noble status and should not join.
In addition, there is a C-level mission [Investigate Zero] in the sprout. This mission should have been a B-level mission, but because of Han Xiao's fault, the damage to the sprout and the information about the Dark Star and various bases were mostly taken over by Gu Meng, so Han Xiao's importance has decreased.
Now do not submit this task first, complete it to the decryption. Han Xiao is doing the sprout by himself. Only with his own intelligence source can he have the opportunity to upgrade to B level.
At this time, the God Clan Guild is holding a meeting to discuss how to complete this task.
Jupiter said in a deep voice: "This is the first A-level task. It seems that there is no need to fight. It is possible to complete it at our current level. The reward is extremely generous, which can make us lead all players. Whether we can suppress other guilds in the future depends on whether we can seize this opportunity!"
"We only know that X may be in Xidu. The range is so large that it is too small to find an NPC in a haystack. Besides, the time for the internal test is running out, so to complete this task, we can only hope for the public test. Before that, we should conduct a preliminary investigation." Core member Poseidon said.
Everyone nodded, and there were many opinions. One idea after another was put forward.
Jupiter likes to dig out hidden elements, and pondered: "The task prompt implicitly expresses that Germination and X are in a hostile relationship. If we capture X alive or even kill him, will there be any extra rewards?"
"That makes sense, you are worthy of being an old pig."
"The investigation is already A-level difficult, and we have to capture him alive or even kill him. Isn't it too..." Poseidon was not optimistic.
"There is no impossible task, but we haven't found a shortcut yet." Jupiter knocked on the conference table, "One week after the internal test, it will be the public test. During this period, other elders should discuss a solution. Continue to do this task in the public test. This will be a breakthrough in the development of the land."
Vice President Shiva said proudly: "When the public test is launched, we will have the support of the guild's resources. If even we can't handle this task, no one can complete it."
"That's right." Jupiter nodded.
Poseidon suggested, "It will be much faster to find it by ourselves with the help of other players."
Jupiter's eyes lit up, "That makes sense. We players are the strongest. We can definitely crack this task and find X. In addition, we can't let go of that C-level task. Zero should be just a small character. He seems to be an E-level mechanic. He was lucky not to be killed by the sprout. And we have a lot of information about him. Post a post to announce Zero's appearance and give a reward. As long as he contributes valuable clues, we will give him money."
The Temple Club is a wealthy family with great wealth.
But they don't know what kind of existence they have offended.
...
"The Protoss is really rich. It would be great if I could find X."
Kuangdao Fujian saw the post of the Protoss Guild, glanced at the reward amount, and looked regretful.
However, Kuangdao Fujian did not envy the opportunities of the big guilds at all. He looked at the members of Thunder and Fire Sword around him with fiery eyes.
"Having joined such a high-end organization in advance, I will definitely upgrade and become stronger faster than anyone else."
"It is said that although my cheap master 008 can be regarded as an elite member of the organization, there are still the four dark kings above him, and at the top of the organization, the Dark Lord is the strongest among the strong, the hegemon among the hegemons. I really want to meet the Dark Lord as soon as possible."
"People in Xidu say that in Xidu, no secret can escape the Dark Lord's omniscient surveillance and eyes. Maybe he knows where X is?"
On the other hand, Mingyue Changzhong and the others are much more realistic.
"X is definitely not a character that we can contact at this level. The gods are too arrogant, and they probably won't have a good end... Alas, the A-level mission is too far away, and the C-level mission... If only we could find Zero."
Zero is right beside them, and trains them through various weird missions.
At first, although they obeyed Han Xiao's tasks physically, they were very reluctant psychologically. But gradually, they found that such tasks were very interesting. As long as they threw away their moral integrity, it was much easier than fighting monsters and running rings. It was simple and fun, and they gradually became addicted to it.
Mingyue Chang finally felt that his thoughts were sublimated, and he had a vague understanding.
Shame is a genetic lock that hinders human development!
From today on, I will not be a human being, JOJO! (bushi)
There is no doubt that he was put in the ICU by Han Xiao. Very good, he is worthy of being the future second-in-command admired by Gu Meng. This pure natural brainwashing ability is very spirited!
