Build a gaming empire from scratch

Chapter 1065 Pandora changes dramatically!
"???"

"Where is this place?"

Shui Hua stood on the burnt black ground, feeling a little confused.

She walked forward for a short distance and came to a hill with a wider view, looking around in all directions.

It took a lot of effort for her to recognize her surroundings:
This is actually where she first logged into Pandora!
Although, the ghostly appearance of this place now is completely different from when she first landed!
Those lush trees, densely packed unrecognizable plants, various beasts, and beautiful birdsong...

Everything has disappeared, leaving only the cracked earth, scorched tree trunks, dried waterways... Even the wind is full of choking ashes.

There were no animals, no sounds, and nothing green.

The earth was dead silent.

"What on earth happened here?" Shui Hua stayed where she was.

It is now mid-April, and in one and a half months it will be time for the college entrance examination.

No matter how much she loves surfing the Internet, she has to restrain her behavior and devote all her energy to reviewing and preparing for the exam.

She has stopped the habit of rushing into the virtual world to play games every day after finishing her homework. Only on her days off will she take some time to return to the virtual world and play for two or three hours.

Even her cell phone was half-blocked by her, and she focused entirely on her studies.

Shui Hua is really serious and wants to get into a good university.

She knew that she was not as smart as her best friend Zhu Cixia. If she didn't get into a good university, she would worry about whether she would have anything in common with her best friend in the future.

——If the cognitive differences between the three perspectives are too large, communication will really be a problem.

Shui Hua used to hang out on the Internet with a bunch of trumpets and make friends with people of all walks of life and age groups. She has a very clear understanding of this kind of thing.

She never hoped that one day, the two of them would sit face to face and she would not be able to understand the mood of her best friend.

So, learn!

Must study hard!
Of course, necessary rest is still needed.

Shui Hua even bought "Gravity" but didn't play it, because she was worried that it would take too much time, or log out before finishing playing, which would lead to her lack of interest in learning, so she chose [Pandora], a place where she could log off at any time.

It's just...what the hell is going on in this place now?

"Where is my tree?"

"What about my house?"

"Where is my bird??"

Shui Hua asked three times in confusion.

Especially the last sentence "Where is my bird?" was especially loud, and it was heart-wrenching.

That was her purpose for going online today, the confidence to challenge [Emergence of Power]!
Her [Emergence of Power] challenge has progressed (1/3), and the death beast has been hunted.

Of course it wasn't cruel and ruthless, directly killing the one she tamed—it was a coincidence that the first death beast she encountered, which she successfully tamed, was really a rare "elite" death beast.

But as long as she has a bad idea, the Death Beast will run away sharply, making it impossible for her to hit.

So Splash finally rode the Death Beast and found another elite Death Beast. After a hard fight, he successfully completed the hunt and reached one-third of the progress of [Emergence of Power].

After that, Shui Hua released the Death Beast that had been following him. He was rushing, climbing trees, and looking for bait, and finally caught an Ikaran Flying Dragon.

——Spike has also tried to physically tame the Ikaran flying dragon directly in the air by falling from the sky.

Her evaluation is: [Human beings don’t do this. ]
The human translation is:
"This is not something humans do at all!"

She really can't do it!

In short, after Shuihua successfully tamed an Ikaran flying dragon using the pitiful little game time, she was thinking about riding an Ikaran flying dragon to tame or hunt the phantom dragon, the overlord of the sky.

Now everyone has recognized that [Phantom Dragon] is one of the three hunting challenges of [Emergence of Power], but no one has succeeded yet.

Splash felt that she was very hopeful.

Launched today with great hopes.But she never expected that a week after going online, her bird...her dragon would be gone!
Not only is the dragon gone, but the save point is also gone! !

He was sent directly back to the birth point!

What about trouble?

Shui Hua opened the map and found that the originally green map had turned yellow, and suddenly it changed from the Amazon rainforest to the African savanna!

All the player strongholds she has been to have disappeared.

She couldn't even retreat or log in from another location!

The fruits of land reclamation that the players had worked on for a whole month were just gone? ?

Splash couldn't accept it and wanted to figure out what happened.

At this moment, an application to join the team was suddenly sent over——

[Friend [Universal Princess] applies to join your team]
[agree refuse]
Splash agreed.

——[Universal Princess] This is the note she gave to her best friend Zhu Cixia.

The next moment, a door opened next to Shui Hua, and the little princess dressed up stepped out.

She had dressed up and was going to see Lin You, but before she went she saw Water Flower online, so she told Lin You to go later and ran to find Water Flower first.

After Shui Hua became obsessed with studying, they had fewer opportunities to meet.

"Splash, it's online so early!"

"Well, I want to take up as little study time as possible, but..." Shui Hua glanced at the scorched land again, "I seem to have come here in vain."

The little princess took a look and immediately understood what Shui Hua meant: "This... the problem is indeed a bit big. Can I help you change the permanent mirror? You did not participate in the arson, so you will not be restricted."

"Set fire?" Shui Hua realized later and couldn't believe it. "Such a large-scale fire was man-made??!"

"That's right." Although Zhu Cixia was a little unaccustomed to it. Shui Hua, a young Internet surfer, would be slow to react to such big news, but he still explained to her very understandingly:
"In the beginning, only a few thousand people lit the tree of life. The fire burned raging for a day and a night, burning the entire tree to ashes."

"But soon, the fire spread to the surrounding forests. Hundreds of thousands or millions of players were incited and began to actively set fires, amplifying the fire."

"The fire not only engulfed the forest, but also engulfed each player image."

"Up to this point, the scope of the impact was still controllable. But then, the fire drastically changed the world and affected Pandora's intelligent management algorithm. The mirror partition mode was also changed as a result. More and more mirrors were used by the algorithm. Actively merge into fire mirror."

"Up to now, nearly one-third of the mirror images have become the [Catastrophic Doomsday] version."

"Wait a minute!" Shuihua's head felt a little itchy, "If someone in one mirror sets fire, why does it affect other mirrors?"

The little princess blinked, thought for a while, and said in a way that Shui Hua could understand: "During your exploration, you also encountered the tombstones and strongholds left by other mirror players, right?"

"Yes, I have encountered it before." Shui Hua nodded.

"This is because players' changes to the world of Pandora will be randomly synchronized to other mirrors by the algorithm. And the more drastic the change, the greater the weight, and the more likely it is to be synchronized to other mirrors."

"So..." Shui Hua said in surprise, "Because setting fire changed the environment too drastically, it was also synchronized by the algorithm??"

"Yep."

"You guys..." Shui Hua was a little speechless, "Let's save him!"

"Sigh." The little princess sighed, "Lin You said that when he opened Pandora, he promised that he would hand over this world to players and algorithms, and let everything evolve naturally, so he doesn't plan to intervene."

"So you just watch...the fire burns the entire Pandora to ashes, and players all over the world pay for these lunatics?" Shui Hua found it difficult to understand Lin You's madness.

"No, Lin You has said that this [mirror image erosion] has an upper limit." The little princess explained to Lin You.

"What's the upper limit?" Shui Hua asked.

Zhu Cixia paused for a moment, then said the answer: "50%"

Hearing this number, Shui Hua slowly opened her mouth: "You mean, in the future, only half of the players can stay in the normal Pandora world, while the other half will all stay in this fire world?"
