My Players Keep Grinding in the Post-Apocalyptic World

Chapter 244: Weird constellations

Views:

Among the top team, Walter White was the first one to discover that there was something wrong with his body.

No, it should be someone who clearly recognizes that a problem has occurred.

Others have felt some changes to a certain extent, but no one took it seriously. However, Walter White is a fitness coach and has a clear understanding of his endurance, strength and speed, and he exercises and tests himself every day.

Before, when lighting up the first two shrines, Lao Bai noticed that his body had been strengthened. He was not sure at that time whether it was the effect of the game, but he had a vague guess, but he did not dare to believe it. After all... this was too unscientific.

Will the constellations in the game affect reality

If I tell this to others, I'm afraid people will think I'm a fool, and I might even be dragged to an electrotherapy center by my enthusiastic colleagues...

But he has always been careful, and just yesterday, he entered the ruins of the shrine under the Red City and lit up the next planet in the chosen constellation.

The moment he went offline, feeling the weak energy in his body, Lao Bai was completely panicked!

He has energy in the real world!

He trembled and used the jump slash according to the skill release method in the game. The energy in his body gathered under his feet, and he leaped 4 meters high and smashed down hard.

It doesn't matter that his leg was hit, what matters is... Lao Bai's worldview was also severely shattered.

He urgently needed to find someone to discuss what to do.

Lao Bai's colleagues in real life are all thinking about how to please rich women and how to hook up with young girls. Those with low bottom lines have become the male boss's mistresses. Lao Bai has nothing in common with them at all.

So he contacted Xigou immediately. After being reminded, Xigou instantly discovered this strange phenomenon and quickly invited Lao Bai and others to his house to discuss it together.

The other teammates felt that this matter was a bit risky, and they did not have such an intuitive experience, so they did not come as quickly as Lao Bai, but they should all be there by tomorrow.

Xigou’s invitation is still powerful.

It's worth a trip just to experience the small bedroom of more than 300 square meters.

Who wouldn’t be fascinated by the large villa where one has to ride a balance bike to get around in the living room

Pu Shenqi asked in detail: "So far, you are the only one in our team who has felt the existence of energy. What is the reason? What constellation did you choose? Tell me the process of how you discovered that there was something wrong with your constellation."

Lao Bai felt much calmer after seeing Xigou. After all, whether in the game or in reality, Xigou is the most reliable person.

“Our team’s routes are different. I chose the yellow order in the place of choice, which will increase my own health by 5%. This bonus is not obvious in reality.

How could we modern people ever fight with others to the death

So I can’t feel where my life limit is, I just think I’m strong in all aspects, but look at my physique... It’s usually like this, so I don’t care. ”

"What really made me feel the change was the first constellation I chose: Leo. There are three stars in total. The first one increases 4% health and 8 points of defense, and there is an additional bonus to the health of the battle pet. 5% health doesn't feel good, but after adding 4%... it's obviously a bit excessive."

Pu Shenqi frowned: "Oversupply? What oversupply?"

The old white-faced man blushed slightly: "You know I don't have a girlfriend, but we are quite self-disciplined in fitness, and we are usually moderate. But I can clearly feel that... the amount of output has increased significantly recently."

Pu Shenqi: “?”

Lao Bai: “?”

"9% of your life is added here???"

"Ahem! Don't worry about these details. I just felt something was wrong at the time. You know that the Battle Roar skill that many of the beta testers have mentioned can be used in real life, right?"

"Yeah, I tried it too. My throat was swollen and I couldn't speak for three days... I don't know who invented this. It's such a huge sacrifice to control someone for a few seconds. If I force myself to use it twice, I'm afraid I won't be able to speak for the rest of my life."

Lao Bai looked at him seriously and said, "I was wondering... Is it because this skill requires 25 energy consumption, and we don't have energy, so we will overdraw our bodies to use it? Now... It's proven!"

"The second planet in the Leo constellation gives me bonuses: 3 intelligence points, 100 health points, and 3% action speed. With these 3 intelligence points, I immediately felt the weak energy in my body! According to the game's algorithm, 1 intelligence point increases 16 energy points. I now have about 48 energy points, which has exceeded the 25 energy requirement of the level 1 battle roar."

"So... cover your ears."

Pu Shenqi covered it immediately.

"roar!

!”

Lao Bai opened his mouth wide and roared. A sound wave formed in front of him and the two high-end glass cups on the table were all shattered.

Bang!

Pu Shenqi grinned, loosened his ears, and slapped them hard to get rid of the buzzing sound.

"Is this the full version of the battle cry? It's much stronger than what I used before... And, your voice?"

Walter White: “No discomfort at all.”

Pu Shenqi: "I understand..."

Walter White gained a 3-point intelligence bonus because the second planet of the Leo constellation was lit up, and then gained energy in reality, allowing him to use the skills he learned in the game.

Pu Shenqi took Lao Bai to his training ground for a strength test.

Pu Shenqi punched with all his strength, reaching 135 kilograms, breaking his own record of 120 kilograms, and his punching speed also increased slightly.

"Sure enough... My strength and agility have also been enhanced. I should have realized that when I broke the electric toothbrush that day, it was because my own strength was suddenly different from the day before, which led to a loss of control."

At this point, it has become clear that the constellations in the game can indeed affect the real world.

Regarding this result...the two had mixed feelings.

They all squatted on the big rock in the flower bed.

Lao Bai asked worriedly, "Do you think... has anyone else discovered this?"

"Whether it will be discovered or not is just a matter of time. I see that Wei Long and his friends in the game are obviously from official backgrounds. Maybe the official has already discovered the differences in this game."

"So what should we do now? Are we going to report to the Dragon Group?"

"Stop talking nonsense. With your voice... you can't even reach the edge of the American style Iai. What are you doing there? Being a cheerleader?"

"We have to do something, right?"

"What? The world is peaceful. You can break the Guinness World Record for Lion's Roar..."

"That's right..."

Pu Shenqi suddenly thought of something, took out his cell phone, opened QQ, and found the contact "Sentinel".

"Mr. Sentinel, what are the constellations in your game? Why can they affect the real world?"

Cheng Shaofeng replied immediately: "What do you mean? I don't quite understand what you mean by 'influence'."

Pu Shenqi: "Old White, we have energy in reality, and we can all vaguely feel the outlines of the constellations."

Sentinel: "What the hell! Is this true?"

Pu Shenqi turned on the camera.

"Old White, show him your battle cry again."

Lao Bai shook his head: "I'm running low on energy. My energy recovery is very slow now. It takes about half an hour to recover 1 point. I have to wait for an hour."

"But... the jump is just enough. Do you want to see it?"

"Come!"

Pu Shenqi recorded the scene of Lao Bai jumping from a height of 4 meters and slamming down, and sent it directly to the sentry.

Sentinel: "That's it? A martial arts master could simulate it, right? The three old men of the Ye family might be able to do it."

Pu Shenqi: "... I'm not kidding, Sentinel, something really happened to your game. I estimate that within two days I will see beta test players discussing this on the official website."

Cheng Shaofeng frowned, then checked the official website of "Apocalypse OL" for players' news about the impact of constellations on reality.

soon!

We retrieved multiple posts, all of which were from beta testers who had questions about zodiac signs and were seeking other people’s attention to see if there were similar situations.

But this kind of post is not very popular, and cloud players will not empathize with it. At most, they will say "Where are you fishing for your mother?" and that's it. Most of the internal test players almost don't care about the bonuses provided by the constellations, which are dispensable and can't be felt in reality.

It wasn't until the second star of the constellation lit up and brought more attributes that clues were discovered.

There are suddenly a lot of posts like this today!

Especially players who chose the Leo zodiac sign, they are going crazy!

Cheng Shaofeng’s head was about to explode.

"What's going on! How come the constellations in this world affect the Earth?"

It is true that constellations exist, but they belong to this world!

The constellations on Earth are also different from those in this world!

The sky on both sides is different, how can I get the bonus here

Cheng Shaofeng's brain was a little insufficient, so he quickly asked Zero: "Zero, after the base is upgraded, how much content is there about constellations and shrines? Tell me everything!"

Zero: "Okay master, the database has indeed unlocked some of the information on the shrine ruins."

"The remains of the shrine are an alien object that suddenly landed in this world 400 years ago, bringing crystal energy and disaster. The war destroyed everything, and mankind entered the wasteland era."

"Pray to the ruins of the shrine to gain the protection of the constellations and enhance your abilities. You can use this extra power no matter where you are."

"Master, you can pray for the blessing of the shrine without worry. The constellation will never fall and will always protect you in the past, present and future."

"... ..."

Cheng Shaofeng: "Is it over?"

Zero: "The only things that have been unlocked so far are these introductions. You already know how to use the shrine. I don't think you need my explanation."

"That's right... Just place the offerings, pray, and that's it."

Zero: "Your insight is amazing!"

"Again, playing awkwardly?"

The information I got from Zero was just a few sentences, but it was better than knowing nothing at all before.

After Cheng Shaofeng thought about it over and over again, several questions arose in his mind.

"The crystal energy and disasters brought by the shrine ruins, is this thing good or bad? The history of this world is very broken. I can hardly find any decent text to describe the society 400 years ago, but I can roughly infer that it was similar to our Earth without magical energy. Now... the world has become like this. Does that indirectly prove that the shrine ruins actually destroyed the entire world?"

"By the way, why would humans start a war when these crap fell from the sky? Nuclear weapons are already being used to plow the land. Isn't that a bit too radical? Are they trying to steal each other's extraordinary energy? Or... are they fighting against some extraordinary creatures together?"

"Zero said that I can pray to the shrine without worry, so why did he emphasize 'past, present, and future'? I have now been protected by the constellation. How has my past changed? If there has been a change, then I must have taken a different path from now because of the butterfly effect. Isn't this a time-space paradox?"

"What a strange explanation..."

"The information from the Scourge Base tells me that the shrine is trustworthy. But can I really believe it?"

Cheng Shaofeng thought about this question very seriously. After a while, he came to a conclusion: "I can only believe it."

The Scourge Base is in his mind. Zero can now control a fourth-order fishing robot. If someone really wants to harm him, there is no need to set a trap for him. He has ten thousand ways to die.

In this world, all his achievements are related to the Scourge Base. Without the Scourge Base and the players, he is nothing, so he must... and can only trust the Scourge Base.

"Since the base says it's safe, let me try the prayer shrine!"

Cheng Shaofeng walked to the remains of the shrine in Hongcheng, offered sacrificial electronic components, and prayed with all his heart.

The next second, consciousness separated from the body and turned into a rainbow floating towards the starry sky.

Standing at the place of choice.

Cheng Shaofeng chose the blue primitive and got a bonus of +5% energy.

The soul returned to the body, and its attributes improved a little, but there was no other discomfort.

"Just strengthened like that? It seems... it's really no big deal."

The things I was worried about and the conspiracy theories didn't happen. It was just like I went to pick up a permanent buff and put it on myself.

"I was overthinking it before, but... why can Hades open the transmission channel by controlling the shrine and communicate with believers?"

"Could this be the special power of the so-called 'gods'? Or... these 'gods' just pray for a sufficient number of shrines to obtain higher authority?"

Cheng Shaofeng was suddenly stunned and thought of a question that went against common sense. He had never noticed it before, and neither had the players.

"Since praying to the shrines can bring protection and power, and the materials needed for prayer are not rare, they are just symbolic points, then why are these shrines not controlled by the Human Alliance? Why don't they protect these shrines, but just leave them outside?"

This thought made Cheng Shaofeng gasp.

It goes against common sense!

Everyone wants good things, especially the powerful ones, who certainly hope to control this inexhaustible thing in their own hands.

At that time, the people under the big forces will be arranged to travel around the world, pray to hundreds of shrines directly, and light up all the constellations in the sky! With these bonuses, returning, let alone killing people above their level, it will not be a problem to directly crush enemies of several levels!

“Why don’t they do it?”

Cheng Shaofeng returned to his administrative center with this question. He felt sleepy and closed his eyes comfortably.

On the other side, Shadow Guard 2, who had been offline for a while, regained consciousness and wrote down all the information he had currently and all his guesses on a piece of paper.

"When all the clues are connected together and all impossible situations are eliminated, the remaining one situation, no matter how incredible it is, must be the correct answer!"

Cheng Shaofeng's strongest brain, which can control two bodies, starts working like crazy. He arranges and combines various methods such as orthodox reasoning, social reasoning, deductive reasoning, analogical reasoning, etc. in his mind to find the key between all the clues!

15 minutes later, Cheng Shaofeng suddenly realized!

"There is only one truth!"

"I! Cheng Shaofeng! There are too many possibilities that cannot be ruled out! The reasoning is over!"

He concluded this reasoning with pride.

"Sure enough, read less fantasy novels in the future. They all sound awesome, but are actually just nonsense theories... How can they rule out all possible scenarios?"

Cheng Shaofeng couldn't find out the reason for the current situation based on the information he had at hand.

Moreover, he cannot ask the player for help with this problem, otherwise he will expose the fact that he has traveled to another world.

"Let's collect more information first... The traces of the world will not be completely erased, and we can always find these 400 years of history..."

Last time, he asked Ye Cai to look for information about clones in Central City, and he had found it.

The so-called old-style clones are clones that can be controlled by humans and were produced by Duoyu Academy more than 200 years ago. Humans can transfer their thoughts and consciousness to the clones through a special device and operate the clones to work or fight.

This technology was very popular at the time because it allowed many people in the wasteland who could not stand or had physical defects to experience normal life again, and it also made them stronger and more fearless as soldiers on the battlefield.

But... this old-style clone has a fatal flaw, which is that the accessories on the whole body determine the upper limit of the whole person's strength. In addition to modifying and disassembling parts, there is no other way to improve the strength, and the materials for purchasing and modifying are very expensive!

Compared with the normal human evolution by absorbing crystal energy... it is much more expensive. With that money, it is better to absorb crystals to strengthen yourself. Therefore, normal people can't use this thing. It has become a special thing for rich people. Occasionally, there are clone competitions or something like that, and the clones of the future warriors who have been transformed all over their bodies fight on the ring...

But it is still a relatively niche product, and there are still places for production and modification in the central city.

This is also the reason why Ye Xu and Ye Kun were released after they were discovered to be clones. There is no point in killing them, they can just change their bodies and continue playing.

Currently, the extraordinary power of the Human Alliance is getting higher and higher, and these old-style clones with a relatively low upper limit of combat power have no need to fight anymore and have become playthings.

Through comparison, Cheng Shaofeng knew the strengths of the clones in the Scourge Base... unlimited evolution, rapid upgrades, physical functions, etc.

The cloning technology of the Scourge Base is obviously stronger than that of the Duoyu Academy.

"There is a large public library in the central city. Let Ye Cai look for information about the shrine ruins before the wasteland and in the past 400 years..."

"As for what's happening on Earth right now... Let's leave it this way for now. It won't have much of an impact for the time being. It's just that it's a little more powerful than normal people. At most, we can just ban players from praying to new shrines."

Cheng Shaofeng felt that in order to find the key to the appearance of this strange phenomenon, he had to look at the origin of the shrine ruins.

There's no point in being anxious now.

"So... let's just do things at a normal pace."

"Zero, have the 1,000 helmets been sent out?"

Zero: "Sent."

"Okay! Let's start the infrastructure construction! Go to places where there are a lot of monsters gathering to build communication base stations and set up temporary resurrection points to help new players open up new land!"

Now that he has materials and energy in his hands, Cheng Shaofeng's style is completely different from before.

Work hard!

What players fear most when killing monsters in the wild is that experience points will be dropped after death, which means a day's fight will be in vain.

However, it is obviously not realistic to deploy communication base stations all over the world.

That's not something a red city can sustain.

In order to solve this problem, Cheng Shaofeng decided to go to some "feng shui treasure land" like Huo Town to establish a temporary resurrection point. Only one communication base station is needed to cover a radius of 20 kilometers. Two clone production warehouses and one loot generator can be placed there to serve as a small base.

After the players have cleared out the monsters in that place, they can disassemble the machine and take it to the next location, which is another small base. This allows for fluid brushing and completely solves the problem of many players and few monsters.

All while making an excellent contribution to the safety of the wasteland!

"I'm such a freaking genius planner!"

Shadow Guard 1 is looking for the location outside, and Shadow Guard 2 is responsible for leading the nano-engineers to implement this task.

First quickly establish a few points, and then similar work can be handed over to the players.

At the same time, Cheng Shaofeng was still waiting for the construction of the huge comprehensive processing workshop at the base to be completed.

"Players are still lacking a tool to quickly return to the main city..."
