In less than a week, almost all Magic Network forums were filled with discussion posts and topics about 'Conflict Continent'.
Although the total number of people who have actually played this game has not exceeded 30,000 until now, most of the players Joshua initially chose for the closed beta test, apart from acquaintances around him, were more active users on the Magic Network. .
Compared with ordinary people, these users have obvious free time, and they also like to use spiritual terminals very much. They are quite influential in various forums.
Nowadays, due to the national policies of various countries, although the convenient tool of mental terminals has begun to become popular, because it requires mental power to be activated, the people who often use it are still some extraordinary professionals who already have some strength, and these active professions Most of the players in the Continent of Dispute have passed the second stage and reached the third tribe stage. Some people even entered the fourth civilization stage due to their experience in playing many games, so they gained more or less some strength and power. Skill bonuses.
And this is why the topic of Strife Continent is so hot now - this point alone is enough to make all players crazy about it and discuss it a lot.
At this time, in the Moldavia Lord's Mansion, Lin was sitting on the sofa in the hall, staring at the forum in the light screen with a serious face - he was browsing several Winterfort Academy affiliates at the same time with his senior administrator authority. The magic network forum.
Naturally, this place is also full of discussion posts about the Continent of Strife. Some people have even spent money to buy the rights to a section and directly created a 'Continent of Strife Discussion Forum' to summarize a large number of topics.
Among them, many students who were lucky enough to obtain the internal beta player permissions issued by Joshua were live broadcasting their gaming experience in the Continent of Disputes through text.

…
In the section, in addition to technical posts and inquiry posts, there are naturally many meaningless posts, and happy posts that collect many live broadcast materials. Rin's job is to delete meaningless posts in various forums and keep the forum section clean. tidy.
The black-haired boy made a serious choice such as 'Flesh and blood supreme, elemental traitor! ''I just don't understand why some people like to play with humanoid creatures'' Everyone, look at the person I pinched, isn't it cute? ' (containing a large number of SSR gene components) such posts that provoke and show off are deleted, while beside Rin, Hotaru, who is tying her hair, is humming a little tune and browsing the popular posts in the light screen.
[Crackling—The Civilization Journey of Advanced Slime (Updated to the Fourth Civilization Stage)]
Although the game "Strife Continent" cannot be paused midway, players can open the forum for live broadcast and post during the game. This is what a certain Winterfort Academy post master discovered the next day. After entering the game for the second time, wait When the copy was loading, he subconsciously applied to the mental terminal to enter the forum. He thought he would be rejected, but he didn't expect that he actually entered and could post normally.
Of course, because thinking has accelerated dozens of times, the game live broadcast will basically end within ten minutes. The poster does not have time to wait for other people to reply, and there is no way to ask questions and let the entire forum help him think. How to solve the civilization problem... Otherwise, the difficulty of the game will be greatly reduced.
The post that Yingying is looking at now is a live post made by a senior user of the Winterhold Academy forum. The other person doesn't play much time in Continent of Strife every day, but he plays steadily and pauses the game every time he completes a stage. Collect information and wait for the next day to be fully prepared and have a clear mind before playing.
This is undoubtedly the correct way to play the game - now, the race controlled by the opponent, the 'Higher Slime', an amorphous shape-shifting creature has successfully advanced to the civilization stage, and is now fighting with the alien Chaos Familia Legion in the rift of time and space. The war situation is currently gaining the upper hand.
Because it has been serialized for many days, a large number of viewers are actively discussing it under the live broadcast post.
"Oh my God, I didn't expect slimes to be so strong. They can adapt to almost all areas except desert terrain. Even lava areas can adapt to become lava slimes!"
"This is a new idea. Give up natural strength, focus on fecundity and adaptability, use the elite slimes that appear in large numbers as the leaders of civilization, and at the same time vigorously develop magic technology to ensure that even fallen slimes Mu will have a certain level of combat effectiveness after being armed... The poster’s thinking is very clear, which not only ensures that there is a large amount of low-end combat effectiveness within the civilization, but also ensures that the high-end combat effectiveness will not be too little!”
"Upstairs, why does the lava slime you mentioned look so much like a Balrog? I happened to see a few Balrogs when I went to the abyss some time ago. The lava slime is almost exactly the same except that it is whiter!"
"Have you noticed? The poster is definitely a gold-level expert in real life! I have watched the video of controlling the Thunder Slime Airborne Troops to decapitate the Chaos Familia Legion more than ten times. The electromagnetic force manipulation is amazing!"
"You're the new guy upstairs, right? Who doesn't know that Pilapila is a senior who has graduated from your college a long time ago? She must be an elite in the golden rank!"
"Senior? Is it a girl? Why do girls like creatures like slime..."
…
In addition to the live broadcast of a certain dragon girl, there are also a large number of other live broadcasts of acquaintances in the forum, such as [Desert World Start—Hard Difficulty, Dragon Survival (has conquered to the third stage)] by a former Balrog, and A joint live broadcast of the first team of five members of the same race and the same world type. Among them, a certain brother and sister and a certain seventh prince have failed in the third stage and the game is over. They can only wait for tomorrow to continue, but a certain nuclear explosion mage and a certain dwarf cook The civilization has entered the fourth stage and is now concentrating on the battle.
Compared to Rin who just obeyed his cleaning instinct and frantically deleted posts, Hotaru paid more attention to the popularity of "Conflict Continent" in various forums and the activity of the game itself. When the silver-haired girl read the posts, she would Paying attention to the data of the Magic Network server.
On the seventh day of the game's closed beta test, the total number of players in the Continent of Disputes was 38,000, and the highest number of online active players was 31,000. Today's active players are 9,660, but with accelerated thinking , many people quickly ended the game and could only wander around the forum and watch other people's live broadcasts to satisfy their cravings.
There are not many people playing the game, but it is not surprising that the topic is so popular. There is no entertainment in Mycroft Continent. In reality, there is a fairy card that can relieve boredom, but that game is high-end and requires krypton gold to have fun. Although Strife Continent also requires spiritual terminals and internal beta permissions as conditions, it looks much more fun than a card game.
In particular, many players have revealed that as long as the dungeon strategy reaches a certain level, they will be able to obtain a certain degree of power feedback and inheritance rewards - playing games can also make you stronger. In the Mycroft continent, which pursues power, there is no doubt that It can attract people's attention, especially since no one can get through the fourth stage and reach the final fifth stage, let alone conquer the entire copy.
Just the incomplete fourth stage reward is equivalent to giving away a combat inheritance ranging from silver to gold level. If you complete the fourth stage completely, or even the fifth stage that is completely unknown now, what rewards will you get? ? Both players and audiences are looking forward to this.
Moreover, the game Continent of Disputes is not just a topic in ordinary Magic Network forums. In some private private encrypted channels, there are also many powerful people with high status and strength who are paying attention to it.
Originally, not many people might speak even for a month or two, and secret forums that were extremely quiet most of the time, such as the High Mage Seminar in the Eastern Plains of Shufo, the encrypted internal forum among the psychic royal families of Xishan, and the royal family of the Northern Empire. In the VIP channel, people began to discuss this 'game'.
"The 'Conflict Continent' designed by Count Radcliffe seems to have a special meaning. Does he intend to use this entertainment method to narrate the rise and fall of civilization and to publicize wariness against chaos?"
"That force feedback system... is very interesting. How did he do it?"
"This must be the personal harvest of that adult. He borrowed this game to subtly hand over the inheritance of a large number of alien civilizations to us... It's really selfless."
"I was fortunate enough to qualify for the closed beta test. It's not difficult to get started with this game. I would rather say it's very simple. The gameplay is simple yet in-depth, and it tests one's overall view and strategic thinking. If possible, I really want to play it in my family's game." Send the boy inside to practice dozens of times to develop his brain!"
"This game is currently in the closed beta stage, and there are not many places. It's a pity. It seems that if we want to experience it for ourselves, we need to wait until the public beta stage."
Although some senior officials have criticized the Continent of Disputes, believing that Joshua put a lot of knowledge and thinking patterns that should not be put on the stage and told to ordinary people in a game promoted to the public, but because of the warrior's With such strength, they didn't dare to complain even in the Magic Network Encryption Forum.
After all, it is no longer a secret that the Radcliffe family has an artificial intelligence that can connect to the main server of the Magic Network and has the highest authority. If the adult behind them knows what they are saying and the other party casually punches them, they We need to hold hands on the road to hell and travel to the abyss with our souls.
And even if ordinary people have a high-level strategic perspective, can see through the deep meaning behind a large number of policies, and have obtained some extraordinary inheritance from the game, in terms of background, they are still far inferior to these real rulers. In a short time, there is no way What threat does it pose to them.
In the small circle of extraordinary powerhouses above the Ultimate Level, there are also a few people, such as the Paladin Loranda, the blade wielder Brandon, and others who have obtained the qualifications for internal testing. With their profound insights and rich knowledge reserves, , most of them have been able to advance to the fourth stage of civilization, but so far, no one has successfully defeated the siege of three alien clan legions and successfully advanced to the fifth stage.
This week, Mycroft World's feedback on the game "Strife Continent" is roughly the same. It is not very popular, but it has already gained a great reputation in the corresponding small circles. Many people, even if they have not played it, After watching the live broadcast, they all made it clear that they wanted to play, and they would definitely try it once the public beta begins.
Joshua is naturally very satisfied with this - the more people play, the faster he can suppress Chaos. If possible, he really hopes that everyone in the world will play Continent of Strife. If there is no technical problem, He even plans to spread this game to other different worlds.
At this time, Joshua was basking in the sun in the backyard of the Lord's Mansion. No. 3 was sitting on the warrior's shoulders, closing his eyes to deal with some minor errors in the Magic Network server. Not far from Joshua, the Black Dragon Girl Zhengdazi was lying on the ground, his eyes turned into an X, his tongue was sticking out, and he was panting half-dead.
"Owner-"
Hei's almost whining voice could be heard: "This game is so difficult to play. I can't pass the second stage no matter how hard I play—"
"... It's so embarrassing. Next time, don't say you are my mount outside!"
Hearing Hei's words, Joshua's face turned dark as his chaotic memories were being continuously shattered and his mental deviation had stabilized a lot... He had designed the first two stages of the Continent of Strife to be as simple as possible. Even ordinary people who don't know any extraordinary knowledge can pass the level. The warrior really can't understand why Hei can't even get past the biological stage after playing for so long!
"Oooh, no, Master!"
Hearing Joshua's words, the black dragon girl immediately turned over, ran over in a hurry, grabbed Joshua's hand and shook it around. She said with tears in her eyes: "Can you just tell me a little trick -"
"... Xiaoguang and No. 1 have both reached the fourth stage. I really don't know how you got such a brain."
After sighing, Joshua could only raise his hand and press it on Hei's forehead: "Relax a little and let me see what kind of weird creature you have set up that can't even defeat the second stage."
Now, because of the sequelae of suppressing the Evil God of Death, Joshua cannot fight at will and leaves Mycroft's world. It is a rare opportunity for him to stay in his own territory for a while, where he can play with everyone in the Lord's Mansion and supervise everyone. People exercise. By the way, he also asked everyone to try playing the Continent of Strife. Apart from the test, they could also help him crush the memory of chaos and get some extra bonus power for themselves.
Now, in the Lord's Mansion, Joshua himself and No. 3, needless to say, are able to clear the entire dungeon and pass the fifth stage... It's not because of how strong the game is, but mainly because they set up the game. There is a set of rules for how to fight and how to play.
Secondly, the one with the highest level is Rin - the silicon-based biological civilization he controlled defeated the first two alien Chaos Familia legions without allowing the opponent to encircle them, but the third Familia legion really overwhelmed the logistics of the civilization controlled by Rin. Line, can only regret defeat.
Then, there are Xiaoguang and Hotaru. Both of them can occasionally clear the third stage and enter the fourth stage from time to time. They are also at a high average level of excellence. Among them, Hotaru is worth mentioning. She is especially good at it. Operating a psychic life that is recognized by all players as the most complicated to control, Xiaoguang is just the opposite. As a pure energy life, she prefers to use flesh and blood life to start.
As for the final, black level...
"Tsk, why did you add all the quota to attack accessories?"
Through the spiritual link, Joshua knew at a glance why Hei couldn't even beat the second biological stage - her genetic components were loaded and she might as well have been left to the system to be randomized. Look at that horse-shaped creature, covered with all sorts of things. Various biological weapons and sarcomas make it difficult to walk at ordinary times, and it is especially easy to quickly misfire due to insufficient energy reserves during combat. It is like a large waste snack.
After all, it was still his own mount (although Joshua had never ridden one), so Joshua took action and modified a reasonably reasonable biological accessory for Heilongjiang—it roughly looked like a centaur, with a horse head and a human body. The body of a horse is a fighting creature with one hand and four legs. It is a human-horse hybrid. It does not have any biological weapons, but it has a pair of hands that can load a large number of weapons and equipment produced due to technological advancement in the future.
And just when Joshua was changing the race she designed for the black devil.
As a series of obvious time and space fluctuations appeared on the top floor of the Lord's Mansion, the warrior immediately raised his head and looked at the place where the familiar fluctuations came from.
"Nostradamus?"
While modifying the race of the black setting, Joshua said to himself with some doubts: "Didn't you see it on the magic net yesterday? Why are you here again now?"
Some time ago, he and the old mage discussed some design issues related to the Strife Continent. If something happened, couldn't he just say it at that time
Soon, the confused Joshua did not wait long. As the blue space-time channel opened, an old mage who looked middle-aged but was actually nearly a hundred years old walked out of it.
The mutual induction between the legendary strong men caused Nostradamus to immediately find Joshua sitting in the backyard after leaving the space-time gate. Without any greetings, he teleported directly in a short distance and came to the warrior. .
"What's the matter, so anxious?"
No need to talk nonsense, Joshua frowned and asked directly to this old friend who looked anxious.
"What else can happen?" Nostradamus also didn't talk nonsense. He rubbed his forehead when he rushed over, sighed, and shook his head: "It's that guy Israel, damn..."
"He plans to abdicate!"
I just found out that double monthly tickets and explosive updates started on the 28th, so I’ll save the draft now... Second update
