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

Chapter 283: Abandoning Darkness and Turning to Light
"What should we do now?" Poseidon asked.

"Let's go ask someone first. There might be some remnants of the budding army nearby. There are actually quite a few secret vaults here. I really don't believe that there is only one person missing. Even the plowing and sweeping of the caves is not so terrifying. And that Heavenly Justice looks terrifying, but it should be only a small micro-scale, not much different from the handheld nuclear bombs in the Fallout series. The terrain here is not damaged, so the secret underground buildings should be fine..."

"After we contact the sprout, we will go to the Western Capital and try to assassinate the Dark Lord."

Jupiter and his team then searched everywhere in the local area, and the result was really horrifying. All the means of communication and the secret rooms that could be contacted according to records were destroyed. Only some of the destroyed remaining equipment had some signals. There was no life, not even a dog left.

The group only found a few wandering merchants passing by, and learned from them that all the people living in the nearby settlements had been relocated by the Thunder and Fire Sword.

Unrelated people were relocated to nearby collective farms and new towns, all under the control of Thunderfire Sword.

In short, wanderers are no longer allowed to settle nearby. They must obey the unified management of Thunder and Fire Sword and be forced to inject civilization into their spirit, unless an individual or a small family leaves society and becomes savages.

All those who had contact with Mengya were captured and never seen again. It is unclear whether they died or were doing hard labor. It is said that Leihuojian would use people as human batteries, but it is unclear whether it is true or not - it is a rumor spread by Mengya. Gu Meng does not use human batteries.

When the Protoss Guild heard the news, they were stunned again. They were really wiped out. They worked hard to gain favor with the Dark Crow Valley base, but how could the base just disappear like that?

How can it be called germination if not even a seed is left?
Wow, is this game so scary?
All the initial investment was wasted, and most of the advantages of the internal test were lost.

Everyone looked at each other with sad faces.

"Such a thing could happen..."

Jupiter was in a bad mood, but he was reluctant to give up the A-level mission. After thinking for a while, he said, "The Germinal Organization must have more than one base in Dark Crow Valley. Let's find other bases. We will definitely be able to return to the Germinal camp."

"Wait a minute, why did the merchant say that the area has been controlled by the Thunderfire Sword organization? Wasn't it Nawa Armor who attacked us? Do they have any connection with the Thunderfire Sword? Could it be that Nawa Armor is the Dark Lord's elder brother, and he knew that Mengya was not on good terms with them and helped him out?"

Poseidon discovered a blind spot in the intelligence just now, and the group asked the merchant again and learned the truth.

"What? The Nawa Armor Summoner who attacked us is called Duanmu Yan, one of the four great kings under the Dark Lord. Are there three others as strong as him?"

"What? The Thunderfire Sword is so strong. It has already fought an all-out war with Mengya and won. Now the three continents are all filled with the Thunderfire Sword's people. Mengya only has his hometown left. There is no base in the three continents. Has the strongest evil force in the world been replaced?"

"Boss, are we going to catch the Dark Lord again?"

"Catch? You come and catch them! Catch a fart, forget about this mission, no wonder the starting point is A-level, it's simply not something we can do right now... There are no other sprout bases nearby, and our contribution points will probably be reset to zero if we don't know any NPCs, forget it, just accept it."

"What about us now?"

"There's a Thunderfire Sword sub-base nearby...how about that?"

"Not as good as?"

"Change your mind!"

"You mean?"

"I voted!"

"good idea!"

"Boss is wise!"

"I say the president has a good idea!"

Everyone agreed, it was a rubbish organization, not even dogs would play with it, and it was time to change organizations long ago.

"Let's see how things go after we add the Thunder and Fire Sword. If they are weak or the Dark Lord is weak, we can still get kills to complete this mission. We can jump back and forth. That's how we players are. We admire the strong."

"If the Dark Lord is strong enough, a truly peerless macho man with a kind of beauty of strength like General Duanmu, then we should just fight the sprouts honestly. I still have some information about the sprouts, I don't know if it will be of any use."

"Uselessness is also an attitude. As the top player who jumped over from Moe, we might even get preferential treatment."

"I heard from the merchants that the Thunderfire Sword favors those who have turned from evil to good and have no blood debts against civilians."

"Great, we haven't had time to carry out a terrorist attack yet!"

"I understand this question."

“I think this is also a kind of inheritance.”

"Yes, yes, I suddenly feel relaxed. Think about it, from now on, that Nava Armor will be our colleague. I feel very safe. If I can beat him, I will beat him. If not, I will summon Nava."

"Is there a low-end version of that armor? There are so many robots in the Thunderfire Sword, it looks like it has a very high-tech content. Are there a lot of mechanics in it? Can you give me a complete exoskeleton too?"

"What a rubbish organization! You've ruined my youth! Fuck you, give me your money back!"

……

The forum's popularity continued to rise, with players from various novice planets sharing their experiences. Some players were reviewers who specialized in trying out the game, and they all gave extremely high praise, calling it a groundbreaking game that felt very real.

The background that has been revealed so far alone is enough to make people imagine. There is no division like other virtual games. From beginning to end, there is only the same world in which all players play. Different novice planets are equivalent to different servers, which makes people look forward to future collisions with players from other planets.

Not only China, e-sports clubs from other countries have also entered "Star Ocean". Although there was no prior communication, the e-sports powerhouses among them, such as the United States, South Korea, France, Britain, etc., have all chosen different novice planets as their development bases.

Aquamarine Star is one of the bases chosen by China.

However, this does not mean that all players on Planet Aquamarine are Chinese. There are also people from other countries who choose Planet Aquamarine. Some are friendly casual players, while others are "European spies" who come here specifically to cause trouble.

ID "Electrolux", a retired professional player from the American Coy Club. He did not achieve much in his career. After retiring, he joined the club's studio. His motivation for choosing to enter the Aquamarine Planet was not very friendly. He wanted to spy on the intelligence of Chinese players and find opportunities to cause trouble.

If Han Xiao were here, he would be able to recognize Electrolux. In short, he is a disgusting professional player.

Although Electrolux has the common American problem of arrogance, its strength is unquestionable. The source of its strength is that Electrolux boldly chose a random start and had extremely good luck.

In the Andia continent, a laboratory of the Germinal Organization.

Electrolux opened his eyes and found himself soaking in a light blue solution in a space that looked like a nutrient chamber. He didn't even need to breathe. Through the glass, he saw a man in a white coat outside holding a tablet computer and recording something.

Electrolux found that he could not control the character for the time being, so he waited patiently. According to his experience, it should be a cutscene now. After about a minute, a drainage hole appeared at the bottom of the nutrient tank, and the light blue solution disappeared. Electrolux could move and received a prompt on the panel.

"You are injected with [Gene Improvement Solution], your all attributes +3, and you gain the specialty - [Gene Regulation]"

"Oh my God!" Electrolux was overjoyed. "Random starts are great!"

The nutrition chamber was opened, and the people in white coats gathered around. Electrolux did not resist and let the white coats pull him to the metal table to be tested by various instruments. At this time, Electrolux received a new prompt.

"The [Gene Improvement Project] is a biological research project to cultivate superpowers. The success rate is very low. As a successful test subject, you will be valued by the Germination Organization. You can choose to stay or leave."

Electrolux chose to stay. With such a great start, only a fool would leave!
"This specialty is tailor-made for me." Electrolux originally planned to become a psychic, so without saying a word, he entered the mall on the panel and used the start-up funds given by the club to purchase a bottle of [Supreme Luxury Perfect Gene Awakening Liquid] and directly chose to awaken. After a period of nervous waiting, the panel prompted that he had successfully awakened his psychic powers!
"It went really smoothly." Alex had a happy look on his face, feeling the light of the goddess of luck shining on him. He raised his hand, and a white whirlwind condensed in his palm.

The white coats were in an uproar.

"He's awakened!"

"This is a successful test subject!"

Electrolux knew that if he wanted to stay, it would be best if he could show his potential. He was satisfied with the white coat's reaction, but the next second he saw the white coat start calling the guards. He was immediately puzzled as to why he was calling the guards for no reason.

The Sprout Guards arrived at the scene quickly, handcuffed Electrolux in no time, and pushed him forward. Electrolux was a little confused. Wasn't it agreed that he would be respected? Why was he treated more like a prisoner?

They came to another laboratory, where Electrolux was handcuffed to a brainwashing device. He realized something was wrong and screamed, "What are you going to do?"

The guard said with a cold face, "The Thunder Fire Sword Organization has started a brainwashing competition with us. We found that the brainwashed members, even the senior members, can be easily reversed by the Dark Lord after being captured. It is simply a shame for us. Therefore, the new regulations are that every successful test subject must be brainwashed five times in a row and then observed for a month before they can be allowed to act freely!"

Electrolux was bewildered. What kind of logic was this? This was too much of an extreme reaction!

Also, what the hell is this brainwashing and anti-brainwashing war? Are the dark forces on Planet Aquamarine so aggressive?

It's not enough to brainwash once, this kind of competition is also required! It's too dark and too hellish!
It is indeed an evil NPC!

Because of Gu Meng, the Germinal Organization now implements a high-pressure policy on all brainwashed members. They would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go. All test subjects in any research plan must be brainwashed and detained for at least one month for observation.

Although this doesn't have much effect, Gu Meng still needs to wash it, and washing is healthier, but Mengya thinks that attitude is important...

Well, actually, there are already spies sent by Gu Meng inside Mengya. No one knows which senior executives suffered a defeat and escaped, but were actually secretly brainwashed.

The budding technology couldn't detect Gu Meng's magic at all, so he closed his eyes and killed the werewolf.

Gu Meng can intervene in some strategies and make Mengya do some stupid things, or actions that seem reasonable but are very disadvantageous to Mengya players.

Gu Meng can even make the Thunder and Fire Sword cooperate, which shows that Mengya's stupid behavior may be effective. I have people on both sides, and it is difficult for Mengya to play with him. The intelligence is too different.

In a few months, when Gu Meng's army is large enough to overthrow and govern the six kingdoms, the bud will die.

This is the bad thing about magic. The computing power of Gu Meng's robot is not technology, which means he needs to operate a larger magic network so that everyone has a certain level of intelligence. Therefore, the power of the Thunder and Fire Sword is actually closely linked to the strength of Gu Meng's magic skills. Fortunately, Gu Meng has already reached level 5, and his strength is increasing rapidly, and there is no end in sight for the time being.

New players who join the Sprouts are in luck. Now all Sprouts newcomers will receive a one-month confinement gift package, and all of this is meaningless. This camp is doomed to be destroyed.

Alex had no idea that he had been tricked by Gu Meng. It was too late to regret now. As soon as the brainwashing judgment appeared, he was immediately judged to have passed.

"You are not exempt from this brainwashing. You join the Germinal Organization with a special identity."

"Germinal Organization: Brainwashed (-/-)-[Test Subject]"

"Because you have been brainwashed, you cannot rebel against the Germinal Organization."

Electrolux panicked.

If you cannot rebel, it means you cannot escape a month’s imprisonment, which means you cannot move freely for a month, let alone level up. This way, you will be left far behind by other players!
This is just like having your teeth raped by an NPC!

"What kind of 'importance' is this? It's too bad!"

I have obtained a supernatural power with great potential, but I am trapped here and cannot gain any experience for a month!
It was a perfect start, but he fell behind all the players!
Electrolux's mentality exploded.

Can it be random again? Although I want to join the evil forces, I don’t want to join such a stupid organization. What is the thunder and fire sword they mentioned before? Is that organization also brainwashing?

Forget it, brainwashing is not important. What’s important is whether you can move freely after brainwashing?
At the same time, the forum section about Aquamarine has been discussing more about the all-out war in the other world during the period from closed beta to public beta. The fission of the Thunderfire Sword and the decline of the bud have been seen.

Everyone is wondering whether the Dark Lord is the one who brings about the chaos in the world, who will soon be defeated like Zhang Jiao in the late Han Dynasty and serve as a background to complement the protagonist, or he is the real protagonist of the planet.

The concept of the planet protagonist was mentioned in the game description of Star Ocean. In the original novel, Han Xiao was once regarded as the planet protagonist.

But Gu Meng, who is currently stirring up trouble, does not have this qualification. At least the mainstream does not think of him as the protagonist, but a powerful background board.

The main reason is that he is called the Demon King and has the Four Dark Lords under his command. This configuration looks too familiar, so of course he looks like a villain.

Maybe the real protagonist is to kill the Thunder and Fire Sword that dominates the dark world and bring light to the world?
Of course, there are also some players who insist that the Dark Lord is the protagonist, and the world is all white, except for them.

There are so many bright protagonists, can’t there be a dark protagonist?

The dark world and the lower class also need their savior. Maybe the main mission of the Aquamarine Planet is to surround the city from the countryside, and then go from weak to strong, first destroy the sprouts to the top 7, and then defeat the six countries to the top 1. It's also quite inspiring.

In this regard, Chinese players in particular have this feeling vaguely. Although Leihuo Sword is not an official force yet, the route they are taking always feels familiar.

Could it be that... this game is so bold?

……

Han Xiao thought so too. After he joined this organization, he saw more clearly that this was not a simple underground organization at all.

This alien who calls himself Gu Meng, this dark lord, his thoughts are a bit scary. Not that kind of scary, but a very special kind...

Han Xiao seemed to understand why this character would not appear in the version he was playing. The designer actually gave him such a strange character design. Putting him in the Aquamarine in the novice map was a bit extreme. He suddenly felt a little worried about whether there would be any risks in reality.

If the game company couldn't bear the pressure and changed part of the game settings, or simply deleted the Thunderfire Sword, would the Dark Lord still exist?
Han Xiao had a vague feeling that it wouldn’t be that easy, but as for the details… Never mind, he didn’t want to think about it anymore. He had already traveled through time, so he should just keep going. Maybe everything would eventually have an answer.

The clear light of dawn flows across the sky, and the temperature in the early morning is cool and comfortable.

Han Xiao, under the protection of a large number of soldiers, headed for a nearby settlement where new players were living. The public beta had been going on for several days, and the forum had been gaining popularity. Han Xiao paid special attention to the Aquamarine forum, and through the players’ posts, he learned about the various new players’ landing places. He had long wanted to join in the fun.

When the player first appears is the best time to contact him.

I'm just busy with military affairs, and I'm constantly dealing with the budding evacuation of troops. The overall process is coming to an end. I have some free time these two days, so I'll take a look.
