This Weird Three Kingdoms game is too cruel.

Chapter 271 Knowledge of the stars and the attack on Jiuwan!

The next day.

real world.

Special Investigations Division.

"Sir Zhou, please take a look. These are Team Leader Wang's latest physical test data and inspection report."

Feng Ying handed the information to Zhou Zhengming: "Compared with the last physical examination, bones, muscles, organs, and even cell vitality have improved by about 20-40%!"

Wang Yue, leader of the Immortal Dragon Soul Corps of the Scourge Army (raising his glass to the moon), was the first special investigation officer of the Special Investigation Department to enter the game, and is now the most important official "undercover" in the game.

The Special Operations Division has gone through several rounds of reorganization and expansion.

Two special investigative teams have now been established.

Everyone is working around two investigative teams.

Wang Yue has been promoted to leader of the First Special Investigation Team.

There are fifteen special investigators under his command, plus a team of nearly 200 assistants.

The leader of the second investigation team is Zhou Zhengming himself. He will be responsible for the unified management of the four or five other small and medium-sized corps currently secretly established in the game besides the Immortal Dragon Soul Corps.

Zhou Zhengming read the report once.

Although I had known there would be changes.

But it’s still hard not to be amazed!

Wang Yue's body is tested once a week, and the current data is based on the changes a week ago.

In other words, in just one week, various physical qualities and comprehensive functions have been improved by another 20 to 40%, which was already nearly twice the limit of ordinary people.

Wang Yue can easily snatch weights that are about twice as heavy as the world weightlifting record, and the hardness of his bones has reached ten times that of ordinary steel and is more tough.

What shocks those in the know is not the change itself.

But this changing trend shows no signs of slowing down.

According to Academician Xia, the potential of these players is far from being unleashed. At present, only one or two tenths of it may be displayed. Most of the energy is sleeping and preparing to go out in every cell.

Once you encounter some kind of opportunity.

Let all dormant potential be awakened.

Perhaps this is the moment when transcendence truly arrives in the real world.

Wang Yue has only been in the game for more than two months, and the entire game has only been launched for three months. It has already brought about such a big change... It is difficult to predict how the world will change in a few weeks, months, or a year and a half.

Existing life sciences.

There is no way to explain it all.

What is gratifying is that no negative effects have been observed so far. On the contrary, it has the effect of making people younger and extending their lifespan.

Feng Ying continued to report: "In addition, the game's official website has released the latest announcement. A new round of player recruitment will start tonight. This time, 2000 people are expected to be distributed every day, and a total of people are expected to be recruited."

Zhou Zhengming: "Not long after the last round of recruitment for the Scourge Legion, a new round of recruitment started so soon? Not only is the frequency extremely fast, but the number of people has doubled."

Feng Ying nodded: "Right now, players all over the world who have reserved reservations are excited. If this trend continues, it may not take more than three to five years to enter a comprehensive public beta and a nationwide battle in the abyss."

Zhou Zhengming nodded slightly: "Although the speed is faster than expected, there is still buffer time. Recently, the higher-ups have planned to promote talks with the foreign affairs chiefs and intelligence chiefs of various countries."

Feng Ying: "Are we going to announce the truth about the Three Kingdoms?"

Zhou Zhengming: "I think the current strategy is still to focus on procrastination. Use smoke bombs if you can. Even if it reaches the point where the paper cannot contain the fire, it will not be announced to the public so quickly."

The Three Kingdoms game has been very popular recently.

The popularity and influence have surpassed any game in history, and it is gradually becoming comparable to several top entertainment IPs, and even the popularity of World Cup-level events.

But after all, it is still within the range that people can understand and accept.

In people’s eyes, it’s still just an awesome black technology game.

The mission of the Special Investigation Division is not only to investigate and collect more intelligence, but also to eliminate and cover up influences beyond control as much as possible, as well as uncontrolled leakage of the truth that may have an impact on order.

However, as the Scourge Legion continues to recruit troops.

The number of overseas players is also constantly increasing.

No matter how slow the intelligence agencies of various countries are, they must have grasped some clues.

It takes one day to delay.

We can't delay further showdown negotiations.

At that time, all the major forces in the world who know the truth will tacitly choose to cover up and make secret preparations based on their own interests.

If one day ordinary people generally know the truth.

That is either because the impact of games on the real world has spilled over to an extent that cannot be concealed at all, or because various forces around the world are ready to welcome the arrival of a new order and a new era.

Hopefully it's the latter.

Zhou Zhengming thought so.

"Sis Zhou, it's time for the regular meeting."

Zhou Zhengming and Feng Ying came to the conference hall.

Wang Yue's gaming body is resting and he is here for a meeting at this moment.

Although the Special Investigation Department spends a lot of time in meetings every day, there are reasons why these meetings must be held.

"We have a lot of work to do, and every second is precious, so let's get to the point without talking nonsense!" Zhou Zhengming sat down and said directly: "First, the intelligence team and research team will report and share the latest results. "

The Special Investigations Division is now a large department.

In addition to the Investigation Group 1 and Investigation Group 2, there are also four intelligence groups, four research groups, and multiple departments such as technology, logistics, scientific research, and operations. The total number of people is close to 2,000.

These are just the specialists within the Special Investigation Division.

If you include the peripheral departments and manpower of the Special Task Force, the number will probably increase by about ten times.

Intelligence and research teams are heavily staffed.

Each group has different work tasks and directions.

The deputy director of the Special Investigation Department is Zhang Wei, who is currently in charge of the intelligence and research department. He immediately stood up and reported to everyone.

"Our intelligence team and research team have made many achievements recently, with new intelligence and discoveries being made almost every day. Today we are going to focus on reporting results in three aspects."

Zhou Zhengming nodded and asked: "Which three aspects?"

Zhang Wei replied: "First, it is the latest research on the Land of Stars and some conjectures about the identity of the lords."

"This time, Team Leader Wang and more than 80 natural disaster troops entered the hidden map of Shengcang City. The intelligence and clues they collected were ten times more than the previous time."

This is true.

When the hidden map first opens.

Only four people, Ye Limeng, Black Tong Rui, Xiao Ling Dang, and Toast Wangyue, participated. At that time, the player levels were low, their contribution points were few, and there were not many interactions they could participate in.

A full 85 players participated in the event this time. Not only did they interact with more lords and forces, they also had four or five hours of free time.

And in this process.

Players took a large number of photos and videos, interacted with characters in Shengcang City, and recorded a large number of local customs, cultural customs, etc.

Whether it is the amount of information or the depth and breadth, it far exceeds the intelligence collected for the first time. Currently, millions of connoisseurs on the Internet are studying it frame by frame with a magnifying glass.

as an investigative department.

How could it be possible to slack off?

As the research deepens.

Everyone increasingly feels that Shengcang City and even the entire land of stars are self-consistent. Although the style of painting is completely different from that of Earth, every detail reveals the truth.

Zhang Wei continued: "We have observed that the Scourge Legion is a unique existence, and Lord Hang Yu is also unique, so what is the reason for this specialness?"

When you hear this.

Zhou Zhengming and Wang Yue both fell into thinking.

If Three Kingdoms is a game, it would be okay for players to be a little special or even unreasonable. After all, it is just a game and it is impossible to achieve perfect logical self-consistency.

But now all signs indicate that the Three Kingdoms is probably not a game. Both the abyss and the land of stars may be real places.

The special characteristics of the Disaster Army.

There has to be a reasonable explanation, right?

Zhang Wei continued: "From the beginning to the end, the lord didn't seem to mind or even be curious about the weirdness of the players, and he also bluntly told the players that the blessings of the Scourge Army's immortality and high explosion rate were his. Given.”

Wang Yue: "You mean, the lord understands the origin of our natural disaster army from beginning to end? It is even possible that the lord is the mastermind behind this game!"

"This is just a guess!"

Zhang Wei said: "This can also explain why the lord is so important. Even if he is not the creator of the game, he is the most critical core of the game."

Everyone at the scene looked at each other in shock after hearing this.

Zhou Zhengming: "As the most special NPC, the Lord must have more secrets hidden in him than we imagined. It would not be surprising to say that he is a god disguised as a human being and a messenger guiding the evolution of mankind around the world!"

"Because of this, we must act more cautiously in the territory and try our best to safeguard the order of the territory, especially to protect the personal safety of the lord!"

"By now!"

"The purpose of this game is no longer important!"

"Because we can clearly see that this game can lead mankind into a new era, and even lead all mankind into a new world!"

"We can't afford to lose it!"

Zhou Zhengming asked at this time: "How is the internal relationship between the Scourge Legion?"

Zheng Qiu, the leader of the intelligence team, immediately replied: "In the past three days, there have been nine frictions among the major corps, resulting in a total of 23 deaths. However, these incidents have been suppressed by the coordination of the middle and senior levels of the respective organizations. "

There are many people.

It will be difficult to lead the team.

At present, the Scourge Legion has more than a dozen corps.

These player forces clashed with each other, and the number of group fights and fights even began to increase.

Among them, the members of Ye Limeng's Temple of War and Brother Black Eyed Rui's Wings of Freedom have the most frequent conflicts.

Even if they have a good relationship with the top management and have fought side by side many times.

But cracks have already appeared due to competing interests.

Under this situation, the middle and lower-level personnel will definitely dislike each other. Since it is normal to fight and kill in the game, PKs will inevitably occur frequently.

It's just a small fight between middle and lower class players.

What is worrying is that the dispute will escalate and eventually turn into a full-scale confrontation or even a merger at the corps level, which will definitely have an impact on the unity of the Scourge and the development of the territory.

Change to before.

Infighting within the corps is not necessarily a bad thing.

This allows the official power to fish in troubled waters and become the dominant one.

But now the official forces headed by the Immortal Dragon Soul Corps have quietly risen, and the development process is relatively smooth.

Considering that the power of overseas players is also developing quite rapidly.

Also consider the value and significance of this game.

I don't want to see internal strife happen.

The territory has also promulgated a series of rules.

For example, fighting is strictly prohibited in the city safety zone, otherwise you will be arrested by the law enforcement Canglong Guard and imprisoned in a dungeon. The most severe punishment may even deprive you of the qualifications for closed beta players.

These rules effectively prevent players from sabotaging battles within the city, but they still do not fundamentally suppress conflicts between corps, so there is still the possibility of conflicts and large-scale escalation.

We can't help but be vigilant.

If something serious happens that harms collective interests.

Officials also need to have enough response plans.

"We will discuss this later." Zhou Zhengming asked, "Continue to report."

Zhang Wei then continued to report and share information and research on the other two aspects.

One of them is a summary report on the distribution of monsters, resource output, and new building functions in the latest territory of the territory. This is very useful information for player development.

The other is a comprehensive research report on the latest skills, latest skill combinations, and latest cultivation methods in the territory.

Among them new buildings and new skills appear.

It is one of the latest updates to the game.

Currently, there are many discussions and analyzes on new facilities and new skills in game forums and major social media. However, the information on the Internet is very complicated. Now the research team has compiled the information and conducted internal research to make a very clear and detailed report.

Zhang Wei said: "After the Battle of the Corpse Witch Territory, many new facilities have appeared in the territory in recent days, and one of them called the 'Library of the Stars' deserves great attention!"

While talking. Press the slide control button.

A building in the territory appears on the screen.

Zhang Wei said: "This facility is currently the most popular facility in the territory. It is a very useful facility for both the Scourge Legion and other people in the territory, and it can play a long-term role!"

Zhou Zhengming nodded.

About the Stars Library.

There has been a lot of analysis now.

According to the current collected information, the Library of Stars does not restrict the number of people. All people in the territory can enter it. They only need to pay a certain number of contribution points and energy points to randomly obtain a secret book of stars given by the library.

Similar functional facilities.

Never happened before.

Some players heard about it from the lord.

This "Library of the Stars" is a facility that connects part of the knowledge and wisdom of the will of the stars.

Because of this, when the "Library of the Stars" appears in the territory, the people of the territory will have the opportunity to obtain more knowledge about the stars.

Zhang Wei continued: "The Library of Stars can only be entered once per Star Week, which is about thirty to forty days. You can enter it and obtain a secret book that condenses the knowledge of the stars."

“The library currently has three floors.”

"Different levels consume different amounts."

"Anyone can enter one of the floors, and only needs to consume 500 contribution points + 500 essence."

"The second and third levels correspond to the second and third levels of cultivation respectively. The energy and contribution points required are ten times that of the previous level, which is 5 and 5 respectively."

"Although the higher the level, the higher the threshold, and the greater the consumption, the quality and grade of the star secrets that can be condensed will also increase accordingly. In addition, there is a greater probability of obtaining rare books."

"..."

Zhou Zhengming asked: "How many kinds of books are there in the library, and what is the probability of extraction?"

"The research team has collected all the samples that can be collected currently."

Zhang Wei took out the report and reported: "So far, nearly two thousand players have entered the library, and most of them have announced the secrets they obtained. We conducted statistical analysis on the relevant data and found out."

"There are many kinds of books in the Library of Stars."

"We can roughly divide them into: books of cultivation, books of attributes, books of skills, books of production, and others, a total of five categories."

"Among them, the highest proportion of 'Books of Cultivation' appears at about 40%. They are divided into several types with different functions. Some can quickly improve the progress of skill training, while others can increase the probability of success when comprehending skills."

"The 'Book of Attributes' appears in about 50% of the cases. There are six different attribute books of life, mana, strength, agility, spirit, and will."

“The above two types of books appear in the largest proportion but are not tradable.”

"Bound to itself, can only be used by itself."

"

"As for the 'Book of Skills' and 'Book of Production', the probability of appearing is 6% and less than 1% respectively."

"The former can obtain various random combat skills."

"The latter can obtain training methods related to weapon refining, medicine refining, and cooking. Although it seems incomplete compared with the NPC's production skills and is very difficult to practice, it is currently the only way for players to obtain sub-professionals."

"Finally, there is a small probability that you can obtain knowledge props such as elixir formulas, weapon refining secret scrolls, and cooking recipes. These props are tradable, but the probability of their respective outputs is not yet clear."

"The above is the basic situation of the Library of Stars."

"Because the number of samples that can be counted at present is not too large, there may be other rarer star secrets that have not appeared, and the output probabilities of various types of books may also be further adjusted and corrected in the future."

"..."

After listening to the report.

Everyone nodded secretly.

Zhou Zhengming commented: "It seems that this 'Library of Stars' is really a good place. No wonder it has become the most popular building in the territory recently."

of course.

The reason why players think the Library of Stars is good.

The main reason is that it is easier for players to obtain essence.

For ordinary lords, the biggest problem with this kind of facility is that it consumes energy, and the consumption value is not low.

The third level consumes 5 essences at a time. If you draw a book like the Book of Attributes, although it can increase a small amount of attributes, compared with the consumption, it will be a blood loss for any lord!

The human race collar is different.

Zhou Zhengming asked: "What does Team Leader Wang think of the emergence of this new facility?"

Wang Yue commented: "In the long run, I think the book of attributes has the highest value, because the book of attributes, like the attribute pills, can directly increase our attributes, and the book of attributes seems to be superimposed multiple times."

Zhou Zhengming nodded: "That's true. Human attribute growth is too weak, so many powerful skills and techniques cannot be learned. An additional channel to obtain attributes is of great significance!"

Human beings are inherently deficient.

I want to compete with top races in the future.

We have to find a way to pile up attributes.

In addition to practicing skills and using attribute medicine, the people of the territory have gained a new source of attributes, which is enough to enhance their comprehensive foundation and make the troops of the territory stronger!

Six attribute books.

Corresponding to six attributes respectively.

Attribute books of different levels have different levels of improvement.

The first-level "Book of Life" and "Book of Mana" can only increase life or mana by 5 points, while "Book of Strength", "Book of Agility", "Book of Spirit" and "Book of Will" can only increase 1 point corresponds to the attribute.

The second level is 12 points of life, mana, or 2 points of the corresponding four attributes.

The third level is 40 points of life, mana, or 8 points of the corresponding four attributes.

Less is less!

But it can be superimposed!

If you can persist for ten or twenty years.

Go to the Stars Library to get books every issue.

Based on the probability of obtaining the Book of Attributes, one can still obtain many attributes.

Wang Yue continued: "In addition, there is a small probability that you can get books on production professions in the Library of Stars, such as weapon refining, medicine refining, and cooking. Although it cannot be compared with NPCs, it is equally significant!"

In the past.

A very long time.

There are many players who are learning life skills and developing sub-careers, but have never been able to find a way.

Nowadays, the emergence of the Library of Stars has given players some hope, but the probability of obtaining alchemy and weapon refining skills from the Library of Stars is currently too low.

Although a few books were published.

But they are all low-level medicine refining and low-level weapon refining.

These life professions can only be practiced up to level 10.

In addition, because players are just ordinary members of the Star Families, not real people of the Stars, and cannot receive the blessings of the Stars' will, so the difficulty of practicing life and career will be much higher than that of NPCs such as Yan Ling and Bai Mu.

For example, under the same level.

Players need to consume ten or twenty times more energy to improve.

Although there are various restrictions, at least it gives people hope, right? The forces of the major corps can be trained by cultivating their own production professionals and recruiting talented people from the indigenous people.

Wang Yue also said: "Since this 'Library of the Stars' is open to all people, I suggest that we can increase the training of indigenous people and let the indigenous people in the Corps also enter the library to try their luck."

"If you can open a sub-professional skill book or a secret book that can assist in the training of sub-professionals, you can not only train players in the corps to become logistics personnel, but you can also select qualified ones from the indigenous people for training."

“Although the initial investment is huge!”

“But the investment is totally worth it!”

"This can increase the foundation and competitiveness of our power!"

Zhou Zhengming agreed with Wang Yue's idea.

After all, the number of players at this stage is limited, so the major corps have been digging out talents from the indigenous people for training. Many of these indigenous people have good talents and can exert great value in the future.

Zhang Wei continued to report.

What he talked about next was the skill situation.

This part is very complex, including not only the latest fusion skills that appeared in the territory, but also the evaluation of the new skill stone skills that appeared in the territory after the war in the Corpse Witch Territory.

After the battle in the Corpse Witch Territory.

Four blue secret skills appear in the territory.

These four blue secret skills are extremely difficult to learn.

However, there are already players or NPCs who have successfully practiced.

In addition to the "Library of Stars", a skill called "Necromancer Skill Tower" also appears in the territory.

This is a special skill tower, where you can practice undead skills faster. In addition, the skill tower comes with three skill stones: "Skeleton Summoning", "Zombie Summoning", and "Ghost Summoning".

Summoning skills are rare.

And these three skills are all green quality.

Generally speaking, the learning difficulty is not high, and many players have already learned it.

Each of these skills has its own characteristics and advantages, and there are many uses and combinations worth studying.

Both the Special Adjustment Department and the major players have to lament that the cultivation of Kung Fu and major moves is definitely one of the most complex subjects in the field of occultism. As the skill base of the territory becomes stronger and stronger, the players There are more and more ways to play.

Take the monks.

There are several schools of thought now.

There is a "Transformation Style", and they like to use the Dragon Lizard Transformation Technique to fight. You can learn the Hundred-Eyed Corpse King Transformation Technique at the highest level, which is of great practical value for being able to carry and fight.

There is a "Summoning Style" where you can learn various summoning techniques such as thunderhorn eagles, skeletons, zombies, ghosts, etc., so that you can flexibly deal with different opponents.

There is the "alchemy stream". This type of monks will take Zhang Zhongjing's alchemy as the main direction of study. The alchemy stream is divided into the auxiliary stream and the poisonous elixir stream, the latter of which studies the secret art of alchemy.

Of course, the more common "healing flow" and "spell flow" are indispensable. You can use various healing spells to become a team nurse, or learn warlock-like attack skills to equip yourself with spell output capabilities.

The same goes for other professions.

And they can cross boundaries with each other.

It can also develop different fusion techniques and even exercises based on different foundations.

If the trend continues, no Scourge Army will be exactly the same, and the abilities of players in the future will definitely be all kinds of strange.

One of the biggest tasks of the research team of the Special Training Department is to collect various skills data and evaluation effects, and ultimately find several most cost-effective skill routes for the organization to facilitate future talent training.

……

This meeting lasted four hours.

Although the whole process was full of useful information, no time was wasted.

But most of the recent updates to the Three Kingdoms have not yet been finished.

Zhou Zhengming also had to admit that even with the intelligence and research capabilities of the Special Investigation Division, it was impossible to fully grasp all the information and data. There were too many unknowns and unpredictability in the development of this game.

Wang Yue can no longer continue the meeting.

because.

Suddenly he got a piece of news.

"Bo Wang was attacked by the forces of the abyss."

"The commanders of all major corps must go online as soon as possible!"

Wang Yue's body has recovered in the game. As one of the five corps commanders, he naturally participated in the formulation of the plan to capture Jiuwan City. Currently, many of his subordinates are gathering in Bowang, which is close to Jiuwan City.

This battle.

Very important.

And Jiuwan apparently also discovered Qunxing's actions.

Although Dian Wei cannot leave the core contaminated area, he can still send his men to fight, probably to regain Bowang.

We can’t afford to miss out on Bowang!

At this time, the main force of the Scourge Legion has finished resting.

According to the plan, they will take down Jiuwan City within twenty-four hours.

If Bowang is lost.

There is definitely no way to capture Jiuwan as planned.

Wang Yue logged into the game immediately without even thinking about it!
