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

Chapter 291 Times
I'm very busy today, so I'll give up and make up for it later.

……

The most popular video blogger on the forum recently is undoubtedly Amon, who has a connection with Leihuojian. He has been posting various biographies of high-level NPCs of Leihuojian on the forum.

The protagonist of the first episode of "Legend of the Heroes of Thunder, Fire and Sword" is the poster girl Xiao Heizi. That video was released during the Star Sea internal testing period.

It fully demonstrated Xiao Heizi's transformation ability and melee combat strength, as well as her use of some strange props. Later, it gradually showed her inability to adapt to some high-tech, focusing on her character setting of being a cold and domineering lady with a cute contrast.

It's like Xiaolongnu just came out of an ancient tomb - no, it's much more exciting than that, it's like a time-travel drama where a big shot from ancient times just traveled through time to the modern era. Shooting some short dramas is very effective for the show.

At that time, the only way to officially join Thunder and Fire Sword was to go to Xidu. At that time, Thunder and Fire Sword's branch bases had not yet sprung up everywhere, and high-level NPCs were not that common for players. It was already a special privilege for Crazy Blade and Fury Sword to join and encounter a high-level robot.

The internal beta test completely astounded everyone on the forum, and they all speculated on what great fortune Amon had encountered, how many hidden missions he had received, and how many benefits he had gotten. They had no idea that after the public beta test, the Thunder and Fire Sword forces would flourish even more, and Amon/Gu Meng would introduce new characters one after another.

It makes people wonder if Amon is the Dark Lord's illegitimate son. It seems that even the cadres within Thunderfire Sword may not be able to obtain so much information.

Amon's subsequent videos include biographies of other kings of Thunder and Fire Sword, or switching to the perspective of the novice village chief to watch players farming.

In addition, there are evaluations of various martial arts skills, using data and actual tests to verify the convenience and cost-effectiveness of the Thunder and Fire Sword skill. There are also some game strategies, which martial arts schools can quickly form combat power, what kind of people are suitable for the characteristics of each school, and whether players with poor skills need to practice hard skills specifically.

Although on the surface there was only one person on the account and there was no guild, and he ignored the recruitment of other guilds, everyone later thought that Amon should have a team. Otherwise, a normal person would be exhausted from editing so many videos because he would not be a tentacle monster and could not use the art of clones.

Some time ago, as players gradually passed the novice period and joined the forces, they were eager to try and make a cameo appearance in the main storyline of the Aquamarine Planet, the final stages of the Thunder and Fire Sword and the Sprout War, and the popularity of war-related videos increased. Recently, most of the more popular videos on this account are war-related.

The two episodes in which the Revenge General died on the road of revenge, was ambushed and perished together with the enemies during the siege, and the Revenge General was resurrected for revenge and returned from hell were both very popular.

Various other high-level NPCs of Thunder and Fire Sword and the newcomer General King Kong all have short biographies. The recent episode where Xiao Heizi sneaked into the Bud to save people was also very popular.

When the little black man transformed from a snake into a human and complained about the beast, the entire screen was filled with comments saying beast. Among them, there was a loophole, that is, the ghost general Han Xiao. Amon did not give him a separate biography.

Obviously, Han Xiao was the type who took the initiative to contact players. Later, everyone speculated that maybe because Han Xiao saved everyone, it was difficult to increase his favorability and it was difficult to dig up exclusive materials, so they didn't do it for him.

Roubao Dagou, a well-known video blogger, has already chosen "Star Ocean" as his next video series. The game has just been launched and there is little official information. There are no other outstanding video bloggers except Amon. He keenly discovered the opportunities in "Star Ocean" and it is just right to make a series of commentary and introduction videos. He himself also likes "Star Ocean" very much.

A popular game will inevitably give birth to many video bloggers. Generally speaking, those who release their videos early can use the popularity of the game to attract people, as long as the quality is good, and the effect is the best.

It’s just that he is still hanging around in the Novice Village, and hasn’t found a good entry point. The first video is crucial, and he doesn’t want to be perfunctory. It would be best if he could make some interesting content that ordinary players can’t access.

Han Xiao's appearance made Roubaodagou feel that his chance had come.

The Ghost General is very popular in the forum. He is a very popular NPC and also a general who is missing in "Legend of Thunder, Fire and Sword". He contacted Amon in advance and the other party was very easy to talk to. He said that if he did a good job, he could even share the title of "Legend of Thunder, Fire and Sword" and contribute jointly.

Roubaodagou is still hesitating, but anyway, if he makes a video about Ghost General in the first issue, it will definitely arouse the interest of players, and he can take advantage of this popularity to make the video a hit!

Roubao Dagou in the crowd immediately turned on the recording function, aimed at Black Phantom, and began to record the material. The commentary and comments were added in later.

In short, try to dig up exclusive and explosive material. If that doesn't work, try to make up for it in other ways, or try a funny route.

……

While Roubaodagou was filming the male lead, Technician Han, the world situation was surging with undercurrents.

Xinglong, Haixia, Hongfeng, Odifena, Tilius, Ruilan, the six countries discovered that the Thunder Fire Sword had achieved victory in the stage war at an astonishing speed. The mopping-up operation against the Germination Base has ended, and the subsequent impact has gradually emerged.

Faced with the rise of Thunderfire Sword and the inevitable trend, the six nations took the initiative to start a joint meeting. This high-level meeting was similar to the Five Kage Conference in the Naruto world, and was much rarer than the daily meetings of the Five Permanent Members of Earth.

After all, the six countries were enemies in the old era, and competition between them was the norm. It was difficult for them to sit at the same table, and the five permanent members of the UN often quarreled with each other. There were not many times when the five permanent members of the UN sincerely targeted one camp. I have to say that Colonel Ka is really brave. I personally experienced the five permanent members of the UN copy, Hell Shura Road.

The Six Nations Conference of Planet Aquamarine has only been held three times so far. The first one was when the war in the old era ended and the six nations were determined, and they negotiated the scope of their territories.

The second time was the second month after the war. The pollution caused by the war affected the ecology, and they discussed ways to deal with it. It was a major issue concerning the entire planet.

The third time was in the fifth year after the war, when the resettlement of vagrants was discussed.

The last six orderly countries on the Aquamarine Planet are not close to each other. If it is not a global event, they will never move forward or backward together.

Today, the fourth Six-Nation Conference was held in secret. The topic was the next plan regarding the Thunder and Fire Sword: to fight or not to fight.

The meeting was conducted via remote video, with the leaders of the six countries joining in the communication.

In a conference room sealed with a metal door in the Star Dragon Corner Building, the leader of Star Dragon sat at one end of the conference table, and at the other end was a large screen showing images of the leaders of the other five countries.

The corner of the conference room was full of people, all of them were bigwigs from the military and political circles, and the meeting had lasted for two hours.

"…So, have you all made your decision?"

The leader Odifen's tone was emotionless and it was impossible to tell his inclination.

The leader of Tilius was strong and muscular, and said in a deep voice: "I, Ruilan, and Haixia all agree to send troops, and Xinglong and Hongfeng abstained."

The leader of Odifen was silent for three seconds, and then said, "I abstain."

Everyone looked as if they had guessed it long ago.

Three votes in favor and three abstentions, this result is also normal. Mengya spread the "rumor" that the Dark Lord is an alien robot in various ways, and also spread a lot of solid evidence, including that the spaceship crash was not only reported by Mengya, and the leaders of the top forces already knew that the top leaders of Thunderfire Sword were actually aliens. But this alien is not that strong. If it was really a slightly stronger alien, the spaceship would not have crashed for no reason, and Mengya would not have been trapped for so many years, relying on the "traitor" Zero to escape.

The Sprout will not have a certain resistance on the battlefield. The Thunderfire Sword has not surpassed the single C-level. In terms of battlefield firepower, most people still think that the six countries have stronger firepower on the front battlefield.

In short, it gives people the impression that the Dark Lord is ambitious, but has no backing, and his technological points are very crooked. He should take advantage of the unstable footing while there is still a chance to attack.

Countries like Tilyus and Ruilan are relatively tough, while the rest are either unwilling to go to war directly like Xinglong and want to communicate again, or Odifen, who seems to be a scoundrel who follows the crowd, is actually often planning other things behind the scenes.

The heads of state discussed for more than an hour and determined the general direction. Finally, they decided that the details of the expedition would be discussed by the military departments of each country.

The big screen went black, and the three-hour meeting officially ended.

The faces of the bigwigs who were listening in the conference room were slightly grim. The previous meeting had decided that the six countries would launch a large-scale military operation no less than the scale of the wars in the old times to sweep away the Thunder and Fire Sword.

The six nations, as the main forces of the Aquamarine Planet, will advance and retreat together. The coalition forces of the three nations advocating war will attack at the same time. If they win, they can get the biggest piece of the pie. The rest will have to provide logistical and intelligence support, find out the base of the Thunderfire Sword, and completely destroy the Thunderfire Sword organization in two months.

War is coming again!
……

Players in Green Valley Town took photos and screenshots, and posted them on the forum to show off Black Phantom’s arrival, sparking another round of heated discussions.

"Before it was Big Horn Mountain, now it's Green Valley. Will General Ghost go to the next novice location?"

"Was this senior character arranged by the game developer? The timing of his appearance seems strange. If he is a mechanical engineering instructor, wouldn't his whereabouts be too erratic? Could he be the main character of the planet as described in the official website?"

“No, I think the planet’s protagonist should be related to the main storyline, so we won’t be exposed to him so early. Black Phantom is only a general. Unless he rebels, the protagonist must be the Dark Lord… He will provide a job transfer to the Mechanical Department… Does this mean that apart from Black Phantom, it is difficult to find a job transfer to the Mechanical Department, so the developers let Black Phantom compensate us?”

"Fuck, you mean if you want to switch to the mechanical department, you'll miss it?"

Speculations about Han Xiao never ceased. After the war, he was touring various places and attracted a lot of attention from players in Green Valley Town.

Han Xiao read a lot of posts with great interest and summarized several players' opinions about him.

The first one believes that he works part-time as a mysterious businessman, similar to the Shadowless General of Thunder and Fire Sword, also known as Golden Spear General Snape, and that he appears in the early stages to provide benefits to novices. This view has the most supporters.

The second view is that he is a tutor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

The third view is that he is an important plot character, because as the general of the Three Continents of Thunder, Fire and Sword in the final stage, he is obviously more important as the commander of the annihilation war than Snape who is only in the rear (because Han Xiao provides both mechanical logistics and strategic support, so he is actually the top talent of Han Xin + Xiao He).

So he should be able to trigger important tasks. After all, Snape's special appearance/special eye color or some special lines will trigger small side quests, or provoking Snape's anger can make him invest.

Because of this statement, Han Xiao had to deal with a bunch of players who wanted to trigger the hidden plot every day.

The lines from this group of people were all kinds of weird, and Han Xiao naturally rejected them all. There were even players who took advantage of their good looks (high charisma) and took a different approach, wanting to defeat the great technician Han with their looks. There were the most female players, especially. A high-level player once posted a message suggesting that women would have a bonus to their favorability when facing Black Phantom, resulting in Han Xiao being surrounded by beautiful women.

Han Xiao was indifferent to this. It was a joke. Only a great man like the Dark Lord, the president of the Thunderfire Sword Guild, had real charm.

These cricket female players think that they don’t have to pay for his equipment and skills just because they are good-looking? How naive!

Some players were so arrogant that they actually tried to attack him. Han Xiao held the attitude of a doctor who would use violence to correct all problems. As soon as such a player was resurrected, Han Xiao would kill him. The death count would be refreshed after six days in the game. This was a resurrection mechanism or an anti-addiction mechanism. Players who dared to take action would be forced to log off.

This kind of lawless player in the game is obviously used to playing stand-alone games that can save and load files. Others who play online games are cautious and stable, fearing that their accounts will be ruined. How dare they be so rampant? No one sympathizes with players who seek death. Elder Scrolls has been out for so many generations, there will always be fearless chicken killers who challenge the whole world. We are used to it.

Players lined up to give money one after another. Many players were attracted by Han Xiao’s display of mechanical strength.

Han Xiao dealt with it casually while browsing the forum. Suddenly, a new post was pinned to the top and caught his attention. The title was "Xinghai Times".

Xinghai Times was a semi-official column with a wide variety of content, including official news about Xinghai, various anecdotes, professional players’ trends, analysis of game progress, etc. Han Xiao used to be a loyal viewer of Xinghai Times, and he would always urge for updates as soon as he finished reading it.

Now with the intrusion of the Thunder and Fire Sword, I wonder if the content will change.

In the video, two hosts, a man and a woman, sit in front of the camera like a news broadcast, with the ever-changing scenes of "Sea of ​​Stars" and the scenery of various novice planets behind them.

Male host: "Hello, fellow gamers, this is Xinghai Times, dedicated to sharing first-hand game information and escorting your gaming career."

Female host: "The public beta has been going on for a while, and the players' enthusiasm has not diminished at all. So first let's review the major events that have happened during this period..."

The content of the Star Times is detailed. The next ten minutes quickly reviewed the movements of novice players on various planets and introduced the civilization background of each planet.

Some of them have ancient backgrounds, where everyone wears armor and fights each other with cold weapons such as swords, spears, and hammers. There is also magic. It is obvious that this planet is dominated by martial arts and magic.

If we add a subtitle to the main storyline, it would probably be "Total War", "World Domination", "I'll Use Your Skull as a Bowl", etc. Gu Meng would really like to play it.

There is also the planet Paleyton, where magic civilization is highly developed. The city is like a floating island. Ninety-nine magic towers towering into the sky are distributed on the edge of the city, resonating with the main tower in the city center. With a high magic background, it is very difficult for novice players to survive in this world, and it is easy to exhaust the death limit.

Of course, there is a more difficult start, that is Frost Winter, one of the territories of the Void Demon Extinction Legion, and the only planet where interstellar battleships can be seen. The power level is very high, and the status of the player here is not even as good as cannon fodder.

The more resource-rich a novice planet is, the more difficult it is to start with. Aquamarine is just average.

However, players from Planet Aquamarine also have something to say. We have directly opened the main storyline, and charming high-level NPCs are emerging in an endless stream. Players from other planets are still stuck in the bottom level, but here, Legend of the Heroes of Thunderfire Sword has been serialized for many issues.
