In the end, the messenger Chen did not completely trust the players, and refused to put any objects of unknown origin on himself to demonstrate skills to prevent being invaded by some evil.
The players have no way to deal with him, and it is not appropriate to kill him directly, after all, there is no big grudge.
In the end, the two sides compromised.
The messenger Chen marked the location of the shrine on the southern battlefield defense line for them, and the players let him go.
I somehow marked all these points on the map.
"So... we can still find 6 shrines on the southern battlefield. This is good information. The Lord will definitely be satisfied!"
Riben Guizi looked at the direction and frowned.
"There is only one shrine we can find directly now. There are two more around the city that is being attacked by the Zerg tide, and... the location of the three shrines is within the area controlled by the Zerg. We can't just rush into the Zerg pile to open the shrine, right?"
"The coverage area of our communication base stations is too small. We have to find a way to expand them, otherwise the loss will be too great after the death."
"I think the shamans are quite willing to help us, so let them get some materials from various cities and build our communication base station from the southern battlefield!"
"This way, I can help new players level up, find the shrine, and build a communication base station at the same time. I can do all three things at once."
Riben Guizi's strategy was recognized by the players.
And many old players know... The shrine not only has bonuses for the characters in the game, but also brings these bonuses into reality... Recently, public opinion on the Internet has become more and more fierce.
Many people have posted videos of themselves achieving more than they are capable of.
Some were hit by cars but were unscathed, some ran faster than Bolt, and some even rubbed out small fireballs...
Without exception, these people are all beta test players of "Apocalypse OL"!
At first, the authorities wanted to block such videos from the Internet, but... the official website of Doomsday OL is full of such videos, and they have no way to deal with this website!
It seems like a super website that is independent of the Internet, but anyone can connect to it.
Even the top hackers in the country are helpless against this website.
Ultimately it can only be attributed to supernatural events.
Special forces team, offline base.
After Wei Long logged off, he said to the logistics staff who had not entered the game, "Six new shrine locations have appeared in the southern battlefield. We need to send people to verify them. By the way, what are the several routes for the constellations? I'll ask them to click on them one by one."
"We are currently mainly testing... all constellations that carry constellation skills."
"Tsunamis, little demons, devils, bats..."
They have studied the turtle shell skill of the turtle constellation, and it can indeed withstand damage equivalent to the limit of the human body's tolerance, and the damage will increase with the skill level of the game character.
A level 2 turtle shell can absorb 650 points of damage!
Each level up will increase the damage limit by 150 points.
Those in other constellations that have attack and auxiliary skills are all within the research scope of the special forces.
They need to figure out what kind of power each skill can have in the real world and whether it poses a threat to social stability and security.
Passive defense skills like turtle shell have almost no impact on the world. Even if someone robs a bank with a turtle shell on his head, he can only withstand two more bullets, and will still be reduced to a sieve after a volley of bullets.
As for other attack skills... they are likely to affect the current peace and stability.
Based on the list of game players provided by the special forces team, they have traced the IP addresses of every beta test player through the Internet, locked these people, and deployed surveillance personnel to prevent them from using the power of the constellations to cause any trouble.
You know, after these people light up the constellations, each star will bring attribute gains, some increase strength, some increase agility, and some increase intelligence...
A normal adult should have strength 10, agility 10, and intelligence 10. Adding a few points will make his attribute significantly higher than that of an ordinary person.
Especially the intelligence attribute, it is the most terrifying!
This attribute will bring them energy, and most of the skills in the game can be released, so they can use some low-consumption skills.
Similar to... low-level skills like Windrunner, Battle Shout, and Storm Box.
Fortunately, firearms still have an absolute advantage at present, and if you encounter extreme situations, you can quickly take them down.
There was a lot of discussion among the top officials.
"In the future... I always feel like there will be a big problem. Our people will be in a passive position if they don't obtain the constellation ability."
The six newly revealed shrines have intensified the anxiety of the people above. They need more of their own people to enter the game to unlock the power of the shrines.
"Find a way to contact the game producer. We can discuss any conditions, but we must let our people enter the game and expand our influence in the game. We must find a way to control the shrine and not allow other players to light it up!"
The order from above was conveyed.
Wei Long and Fang Gang looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
"What's the difference between this... and cutting off someone's financial resources? Each shrine can increase certain values and skill bonuses. If we don't allow other players to click... it's the same as making enemies with all the players in the server."
"But there is no other way. In order to maintain stability... we can only resort to this last resort. However, our current strength is totally insufficient. The number of players in the game's internal beta test is over 7,000. We have only allowed 764 people to enter the game openly and secretly, which is only about 1/10. There is no way we can meet the requirements of the leadership."
"Who is familiar with the planner? Tell him about our current difficulties and ask him to temporarily close the shrine. Is that feasible?"
While the two were discussing, Wu Ke walked out of the lounge.
"Impossible... If I'm not mistaken, once this game starts running, the world will no longer be under the control of the planner. He can't forcibly change the settings, otherwise the game world will be in chaos... The reason why the leader didn't say this is that he has realized this."
"This game world... isn't that simple."
Wei Long thought for a moment and said, "That's right... The planners often say that. They can't change the settings in the game. So what should we do? Block the shrine... We don't have enough people. And if our people are blocking the shrine to prevent other players from entering, then we won't be able to level up? We will soon be PKed to death by other players, and then we won't be able to change anything."
"Depend on!"
"When the leader opens his mouth, the people below run around like crazy! Anyway, I have left messages to the planner many times, but now he has stopped replying to me. If any of you have a good chat with him, go ahead and do it yourself."
Wei Long and Fang Gang are very uncomfortable. They communicate every day according to the requirements and plans from above. The content is all kinds of strange and the requirements are very many, but they can provide the other side... cars, houses, money and even some transactions that violate the principles have been hinted at, but the other side doesn't care at all, just like a monk who has already satisfied his worldly desires.
They used to absolutely not believe that there was anyone who could really give up all temptations, but when faced with the planning sentinels... they believed it.
With the strength of the national team, there is nothing they can't do, except what the sentinels dare not mention.
The sentry joked that day: "Then I order you to build me a 3nm lithography machine."
On that day, a few phone calls were made and a 3nm lithography machine was airlifted from abroad. It was labeled as a domestic product and sent to a stable location.
The news headline of the day: "A lithography machine from a top Western laboratory was stolen..."
One of the country's top spy teams has quietly retired.
Sentinel: "..."
He's numb!
Then, he fulfilled his promise and gave the special forces team 200 places to enter the game, which is one of the reasons why their current number of players in the game accounts for 1/10 of all players.
Later the sentry simply ignored them.
Wu Ke knew about this. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll try... maybe I can contact other employees of this game company."
Both of them: "Huh? Do you know other employees?"
...
Central City.
Wu Ke is online again.
He looked at Wu Jie who was actively selling goods in the store, and nodded to confirm a guess in his mind.
He walked over and whispered in Wu Jie's ear: "Stop pretending, I recognize you..."
Wu Jie was stunned, and then his hands and feet became cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"How...how did you find out?"
Wu Ke chuckled: "Through careful observation, your every move... has already revealed your true purpose."
Wu Jie took a breath of cold air.
"Why are you staring at me... Others are doing the same thing. I'm just... doing what I should do at my age and in my position."
Wu Ke thought about it for a moment and understood instantly!
Others refer to other employees of the game company pretending to be NPCs, and what he should do at his age and with this identity... is to work in this mysterious game company and make money.
"Shh... Relax, I won't tell anyone, just tell me in secret... How much did they give you? I'll give you 10 times, all you need is some information for me."
Wu Jie: "Huh??? They don't give me money, I'm the one who gives them money"
"What!? You work for nothing without getting paid? Then why do you work so hard every day?"
"It feels so good~ I worked all day just for that one shiver... Please don't tell Brother Feng! Next time I go to a prostitute, I'll treat you and take you with me, okay?"
Wu Ke: (°ー°〃)
"Whoring... whoring?"
"To put it mildly, we're just going for a gentle massage."
Wu Ke: “…”
"So you said that at your age and in this position..."
"I'm a single guy in my early 20s. It's normal to have some needs, right? But you guys... are really just like what Feng said, soldiers with iron wills, so ruthless! I really admire you! Uh... Except for 'God Rewards Hard Work', which is the place he introduced to us."
Wu Ke: “…”
speechless!
I am speechless!
The communication is totally on the wrong channel!
"Eh? Why don't you say anything? Are you convinced by my words? How about... tonight? It won't interfere with your work for Brother Feng."
“No need!”
Wu Ke left angrily.
Wu Jie was left confused. He scratched his head and shouted:
"If you don't want to go, then don't go... Why are you so fierce? Don't tell Brother Feng! I have already stopped drinking, it won't affect my work during the day!"
"It's inexplicable..."
Wu Ke went on to test several NPCs with extremely high IQs and a high degree of anthropomorphism, but he didn't find the person he thought was a game company employee pretending to be an NPC.
The reasoning for so long has come to a dead end.
"How is it possible... How is it possible?"
The Shadow Guard Lord, whom Wu Ke most wanted to test, was not in the central city temporarily because of his skill problems, so he had no way to deal with it.
The special forces team had no way to contact Cheng Shaofeng, so Wei Long made up his mind and directly conveyed the above meaning word by word to the planning sentry.
"This is the situation. Our leaders are very concerned about the safety of the real world. Please help us deal with the impact of the shrine."
...
When Cheng Shaofeng was quantum surfing, he received a private message from Wei Long. He had no intention of reading it, but when he thought about how Wu Ke from the special forces team had performed very well recently, being obedient and capable of working, he decided to give them face.
After reading it, he frowned.
"Will more shrines have an impact on the real world..."
In fact, when he learned that players would suddenly receive a helmet by express delivery, he had already thought that the "Disaster Base" in the wasteland world had some ability to affect the earth.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain this kind of airdrop delivery.
As for the impact of the shrines on the earth... He had not originally planned to care about it, because at the beginning there were only a few shrines and few players, so it basically wouldn't make such a big difference to the design.
But now, as players explore further and further on the world map, more and more shrines are found, and the attributes are stacked up... It has indeed reached the scale of quantitative change.
"There are too many players. I can't even name them all now. I can't carefully select and examine each one like I did in the beginning. What if a few despicable people use the power of the shrine to do bad things? Then... I will become an accomplice."
Although Cheng Shaofeng is not on Earth, he is quantum surfing every day, and he spends more time chatting with netizens than talking to people in the wasteland world.
His heart is still on that beautiful Earth.
"But... the power of the shrine is the key to the growth of players. After obtaining the bonus of multiple shrines, players can even fight against fourth-level professionals. If I block it, it will be equivalent to weakening my own strength in disguise."
"It's so difficult..."
If he was a little more ruthless, he wouldn't have to care about anything on Earth. Since he had already traveled through time, he could just live his life well here.
But Cheng Shaofeng is not so cruel and cannot sever the ties between himself and the earth.
"And... I do have a way to control the power of the constellations."
After considering for a long time, Cheng Shaofeng decided to find a compromise and issued an announcement.
Players who have obtained the power of the shrine should abide by the law and create a peaceful home, otherwise they will be sanctioned by the official scythe of judgment.
"Dear beta testers, I believe you have already had some initial exposure to the shrine and constellation system."
"This may cause some... slight changes in your reality, but don't be afraid, these are just some game benefits, and this is what you deserve for testing this game..."
"After discussing with the authorities, our company and I all agree that this change in ability will not change a person's character. Please use the power of the constellation with caution. If you need to use it, I hope it will be to protect yourself and do what is right, and be a good young man in the new era..."
"If you use the power of the constellation to do something illegal, after verification, our company will permanently revoke your internal test quota and wash away the power of the constellation..."
“Have fun everyone!”
"Love your planning, Sentinel."
“PS: A new version update is coming soon, please pay attention to our official website~”
The Star Altar can change a player's constellation into piety points! He only needs to kick that person offline, then bring him back to wash it.
This is the limit of what he can do for the authorities.
After Cheng Shaofeng finished publishing, he looked again at the post soliciting BDs that he had posted earlier. Sure enough, many eye-catching BDs had already come out!
"Fuck... this player's BD is so sexy!"
