Traveling through thousands of realms at the same time, I need to add some dark blue

Chapter 282 We players all work voluntarily

The world of Xinghai is actually a bit strange. Although everything is explained in the end, there are some things that you shouldn’t think about too much.

During the internal test, people in the novice village basically ignored the resurrection and various abnormalities of newly born players, or chose to ignore them. However, there were too many people in the public beta test, so they could not be ignored. Or it could be said that the rules were further integrated, and these things increased the participation of some players.

At first, Gu Meng thought about making up a great plot, like other Fourth Disaster stories, to trick players into becoming summoned warriors from other worlds or thawed old popsicles. But after thinking about it, he decided not to. Other forces, such as the Six Nations camp, also have novice villages, and it would be a bit strange to set up a novice village specifically for the newcomers of Thunder and Fire Sword.

The robot village chief Gu Yidong came to the observation deck, looked down at the crowd of players, and asked loudly: "Friends from afar, where are you from?" Just treat them as strangers.

The players looked at each other, not knowing how to answer, and the crowd was in an uproar with whispers.

Seeing this, Gu Yidong shook his head and said, "If you don't tell me where you are from, I can't let you enter the settlement."

At the same time, some improvised novice tasks were released, which also belongs to the rules of the Novice Village.

Gu Meng's panel might be a bit like a test version. Although it is not fully functional and cannot be upgraded, it may be clearer than Han Xiao to see these mechanisms. It may also be because of the mark from the Zongwu boss. If he can share the eyes of Zongwu Gu Meng, he may have more wonderful reactions when looking at this world.

The public beta players were confused. They were all newbies and didn't even understand the map. How could they answer the question of origin? Are you kidding me?

Inside the settlement, the beta test players found it very new and were watching the show from the sidelines. They had originally landed directly inside the settlement and had not experienced this part. Suddenly, they received a prompt from the panel that a new task had been triggered.

The mission is to persuade the chief of the Novice Village to accept the public beta players. The rewards are quite a lot, and there are also prompts, requiring the wording to be in line with the current world context.

"Interesting, this sense of immersion is unmatched."

The beta testers were amazed and felt it was very diverse. They could actually use their eloquence to influence the NPC's choices, which made them even more interested.

During the internal beta test, there were some aspects that were more like a game, and the public beta test went even further, and this game feels a bit more realistic.

Of course, fake is still fake. After all, if this is a real world, according to the setting, their going offline is equivalent to disappearing from this world for a few months. Suddenly reappearing in the settlement, they are able to perfectly integrate into it, and their favorability has not changed at all. This is obviously unreasonable.

How can the affection between people be so rigid that they remain exactly the same even after not seeing each other for months? In reality, there should be situations where people develop a strong affection for each other at first sight. However, as a game, these unreasonable things are reasonable. It would be boring if they were too real.

Well, in the eyes of Gu Meng who knows the truth, this world is full of huge ideological stamps, or in other words, rules, principles, and machines. Gu Meng has no intention of changing these and just treats it as a game.

After discussing with each other for a few sentences, the beta test players approached Gu Yidong and began to explain.

Gu Yidong's eyes flashed red, and he said, "Do you know the group of people outside?"

An internal test player spoke without blushing or panting, "Yes, we used to be residents of a settlement called Global Village. Later, a disaster occurred, the settlement was destroyed, and we were separated. Those people outside are just as hardworking as us. Village Chief Gu, I hope you can accept them."

"Global Village? Why haven't I heard of this large settlement?"

Gu Yidong asked in a false tone, but then he didn't care and said according to procedure: "Well, we can let people in, but what good will it do for our settlement?"

"This is easy. Let's play... The wanderers in our global village are all cheap, just like me. They just need job opportunities and a little meager food and supplies. You can treat them as cheap labor, which is a good opportunity to expand the settlement."

The beta test players chuckled. Yes, that’s how we players are. We have to complete quests to continue playing.

Gu Yidong's eyes flashed red again: "Well, you are right. In this case, let's accept them. It just so happens that our settlement has expanded many times in the past few months, and there are constructions everywhere. If they are as capable as you, it would be great."

Soon, Gu Yidong announced an agreement to the public beta players outside, and the public beta players received a task one after another.

"【First Job】: You'd better earn some money through labor, don't let yourself starve to death, and try to raise the relationship of the Big Horn Mountain Settlement to neutral, so that you can be trusted and accepted."

With the guidance, the public beta players began to complete the tasks with great enthusiasm. Across the fence, residents of the Big Horn Mountain settlement offered various job opportunities, and merchants were also open to players, allowing them to buy some food with their own money.

The public beta players had a goal and began to work hard to improve their favorability with Big Horn Mountain. The residents of Big Horn Mountain provided some newly built dormitories and a large number of shared tents. The public beta players formed a new circle of camps near the settlement, contributing to the socialist construction of Big Horn Mountain.

It has to be said that players are really useful workers. Gu Meng decided to name them "Working Supermen"! They are even more useful than robots!

And the more work there is, the more excited they are. Now that Leihuojian is a large global organization, the tasks it can issue are no longer the same as before. Let the local high-level NPCs in charge issue tasks, use up the quota under their respective authority, and plan reasonably.

Some staff members at each branch base who were not familiar with the situation were a little worried whether this was a good idea, but when they saw that the players were very happy, they didn't say much.

Maybe this is what a helpful person is like. What a noble and pure person who is willing to fight for the cause of a group of strangers.

The same scene was also happening in other novice landing sites on the Aquamarine Star. They were all organized by the Thunderfire Sword, which had taken over most of the novice landing sites. The labor force was cheaper than fresh college students, and their execution was too high. They were more flexible and smarter than robots, and could do more than real people. As long as they got the prostitution, they would make money.

Many of the internal beta test players went to nearby cities to develop. Of course, they all got the letter of introduction or token of the Thunderfire Sword for various reasons. The internal beta test lasted only a dozen days, and the nearest journey took three days. Although some players were guided to Xidu, they were only a minority, and the public beta test could be completely released.

From the information obtained on the forum, Thunder Fire Sword is a force with very good benefits. It has suddenly expanded so much in the past few months. This is probably a real benefit setting for newcomers. Maybe it is a balance due to the low strength of Aquamarine?

No matter what, just join without thinking. If you are not satisfied, you can leave. Players are free.

……

On the first day of the public beta, all players were very enthusiastic and excited. They quickly discovered the photo and video recording functions and became even more interested. They posted every trivial matter in the forum. The number of posts skyrocketed, and it was showing signs of becoming a social networking site.

"Bad review, it has no excretion function!"

Gu Meng thought that this generation of players was really weird. There should be more interesting functions than excretion...

"It's so special to be in control of a foreign body."

Another post, with a picture of a male Tauren player from Magic Planet swinging his tail.

"There are many more robots on Planet Aquamarine than in the beta test, but why don't they let us become robots?"

This player is obviously a Planet Aquamarine player who knows a lot of information.

“I don’t know… There may be something wrong with the robot’s settings. The beta players said that some of Thunderfire Sword’s robots are just ordinary elite monsters that use guns, but some of them actually know martial arts… It’s too weird, maybe there’s some big Mi Mi hiding inside…” Gu Meng thought, it’s really weird… Well, there’s no awareness at all.

"I'm about to be gored to death by a wild boar, I'm so happy." The accompanying picture shows a female player making a V-sign with her hands to look cute in front of the camera, with a wild boar running wildly behind her.

"I'm going to be hunted down by the robot village chief for stealing things. I'm so unhappy." The accompanying picture shows a player with a very strange makeup laughing wildly at the camera, with a Terminator with red eyes and shooting behind him.

On the first day of the public beta, millions of players poured in, and were distributed among the novice planets, with about 100,000 people on each planet.

As the influence spreads, this number will increase at a rapid rate. Gu Meng remembers that this number will soon reach tens of millions and grow like a snowball.

If each planet could be allocated a million troops, after a period of time, this million-strong army would definitely become an important force influencing the planet.

Especially since this world is not the kind of game that refreshes repeatedly, and important NPCs only have one life... Oh, the robot NPC of Thunderfire Sword refreshes repeatedly, okay.

Just treat it as a game.

……

The public beta players were having a lot of fun, but some internal beta players felt like they were in an ice cellar.

Dark Raven Valley.

Jupiter and other members of the God Clan Guild looked at the surrounding mountains and forests in confusion.

Looking around, the woods at the foot of the mountain are lush and green, the evening breeze stirs up the forest waves, and the natural atmosphere is like a soft palm, caressing people's hearts, making everything seem natural and harmonious. There are also faint traces of some small animals in the woods.

The scenery is beautiful and pleasing to the eyes...

But the point is that the base is gone.

As expected, it was razed to the ground by that Nawa Armor who rushed in for some unknown reason. It was cleaned up so cleanly, nothing was left!

If I remember correctly, there should be a huge tactical nuclear bomb crater in the distance. I wonder if there is still radiation there.

Of course not. After a few months, Gu Meng’s clean and pollution-free energy will have no further impact.

Jupiter asked hesitantly, "The place where we logged off... should be in the base. When we resurrected, the closed beta time was up."

Everyone nodded in unison, with exactly the same movements.

"I still lost after all."

"I didn't expect the conflict on Planet Aquamarine to be so intense. Not only do we have to attack others, but others will also attack us."

"It's just what happens, it's fair and reasonable, our deaths are not unjust, the other side is obviously also in the evil camp, I wonder what force these powerful generals are from."

"Indeed, we can't win. That Nawa's throwing is too strong."

"I don't blame the leaders of our base. I just blame myself for not following the right leaders. I used to think that Germination was very powerful as the strongest terrorist organization, but now I kind of want to join that Nawa's camp."

Some people want to give up and regard the investment in internal testing as a waste. It is still not too late to turn around now. Running in the wrong direction will only continue to increase sunk costs.

"We've already invested so much, let's not give up. Have you forgotten the A-level mission we received? Besides, we are also a large organization. This is just a branch base. There must be stronger people out there."

"Indeed, let's go to the headquarters. If our leaders are not all dead, we should be able to inherit some of the favorability of the sub-bases."

"Wait a minute, the faction relationship is gone!" Poseidon screamed.

Everyone hurriedly checked the panel, and the original "Dark Crow Valley Base Favorability" disappeared!

The favorability of all the NPCs I can see has disappeared. Are they all dead?
It’s too fierce, isn’t there any left?
The terrorist organization on the Aquamarine Planet turned out to be so inhumane. Who are they?
Everyone stood there in a daze, looking confused.

What kind of situation is this?!
"Hurry and check the mission!"

Jupiter woke up as if from a dream, looked at the panel hurriedly, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, fortunately, the mission is still there... Shit!"

The next moment, everyone burst into swearing almost at the same time, staring in amazement.

"【Search for X】: X, a mysterious Germinal traitor, has stirred up a turbulent situation and caused the organization to suffer huge losses. X's whereabouts remain a mystery. He may be related to the Dark Lord, the leader of the Thunderfire Sword. The Germinal leader believes that he may even be the same person as the Dark Lord. When you become a middle-level member of the organization or gain corresponding favor, you will be able to access more information. Find him. The Germinal Organization is willing to pay any price."

The difficulty indicator disappeared. Is it a bug? Or is it some special mechanism? Because there is too little information, even the difficulty of the task is not displayed? There is no big magic here...

The task prompt has also changed. The clue of X points directly to the Thunder and Fire Sword. The hidden force, the Thunder and Fire Sword, was already quite conspicuous during the internal test. Several months have passed in the game, so it should not have been destroyed, right?
It seemed to be developing quite well in the game before. I hope Thunderfire Sword has not disappeared in the cruel competition in the other world. After all, the budding branch bases of their big organization can disappear, and the power of Thunderfire Sword is probably not much stronger than the Dark Crow Valley base.

The situation on the Aquamarine Planet is so unstable that it's hard to say. Last time, the Thunderfire Sword was mentioned in Xidu, but now after going online and looking at information such as missions, there is no mention of the Thunderfire Sword in Xidu at all. Maybe the headquarters was moved after the attack?
If a secret organization doesn’t have a headquarters in Xidu, how can they find it if they are asked to search for a needle in a haystack on a planet?

The Protoss Guild had made a lot of preparations for this mission. The results of the discussion and the key points of the mission could fill up an entire blackboard. They were even prepared to mobilize many peripheral members to go to Xidu to look for the mission targets as soon as they entered the game. This change made all the discussions and preparations of these days go to waste.

"What happened?!"

Jupiter suddenly felt angry. We joined Mengya and worked hard to climb higher and dominate the world, but the beginning was so difficult.

"Ah, why? We are obviously new players, why do we feel that the world is full of malice towards us? It's like a deleted file beta test! Damn it, we must find X! To make up for the losses! Even if he is the Dark Lord, he can't be stronger than that Nava armor, right? If we can't beat Nava, can we beat him?"
