Xiaoguang is a sub-strain of the will of the Blood Moon Abyss world that split around Joshua. It is actually one with the mother body and is essentially the same existence. It can also be regarded as the observation terminal placed by the other party in Mycroft's world. , used to accompany Joshua and learn a lot about human culture and knowledge.
On weekdays, the little light is used as a mascot, floating around in the lord's mansion. However, its appearance is okay during the day, but it looks a bit like a will-o'-wisp at night. There was once a maid who was frightened by the little light wandering in the corridor late at night. Jumping, he accidentally used too much force and penetrated the wall of the Lord's Mansion - but after getting familiar with it, the attendants in the Lord's Mansion were willing to buy some magic chip fragments as snacks and feed them to Xiaoguang who occasionally wandered by.
However, even though it looks cute and feels good to the touch, Xiaoguang's essence is also an extremely powerful world will. It can even be said that he is the larvae of the Steel Python in the future blood moon world.
Its intelligence far exceeds that of most intelligent life forms in the conventional sense.
Joshua has naturally realized this a long time ago, so he has always specially prepared a lot of related books for Xiaoguang, and occasionally teaches him personally about specific creations and biological modifications. After all, blood The Moon Abyss is now almost deserted. Even the Mother Tree of Life and the small creatures presented by the elves are not enough. The Blood Moon Abyss must learn to create a perfect ecosystem on its own, so that it can escape from the abyss again and become a A truly reborn world.
As for the spiritual terminal, Xiaoguang also has one. In addition to browsing forums and discussing related extraordinary power topics in professional chat rooms, it can even play fairy cards. The best card combination is the 'Shield Priest', a The control deck, which uses board clearing and powerful creatures to end the game, currently has a win rate of 63.6%. , it can be said that the winning rate is extremely high.
Of course, Xiaoguang is undoubtedly one of the beta players of the game "Strife Continent".
Joshua naturally knew that Xiao Guang played in the Continent of Disputes, and also knew that the other party often reached the fourth stage. This was enough to prove that the other party's knowledge reserve, overall view, and social system formulation and planning were already at a very high level, but In the fourth phase of 'war', due to lack of experience, they often failed.
Based on Joshua's original design concept, each stage of the 'Conflict Continent' has a corresponding scope of knowledge investigation and implications.
Among them, the first stage, 'Spore', is to test players' knowledge of the basic characteristics and needs of life, to induce players to think about the origins of their own race and civilization, and to enhance players' sense of identity with their own race by building their own life race. , paving the way for further games. This stage is very simple. As long as you know the basic points of "eating, seeing, running fast, and digesting" in life, you can successfully pass the level.
The second stage, race, mainly tests whether the players have a thorough understanding of the needs of intelligent life - most novice players are eliminated here, perhaps for a cooler appearance and more powerful attack capabilities. Stronger survivability, or stronger intelligence, ignores certain balances in life design, causing fatal weaknesses in one's own race, and is eliminated by nature.
At this stage, the most important thing is choice and judgment. With a clear mind, players can analyze the environment of the entire world and analyze what kind of race is the most suitable to survive in this world. After all, if players insist on choosing amphibious life in the desert world, the race they control may not be able to go ashore in this life, and they will have to switch to the extremely difficult route of underwater civilization.
The third stage, tribe, is the link where players fail the most. It examines the player's overall view, the establishment of social systems, and their understanding of life's instinctive desires. When the game reaches this point, the player is not only thinking about the individuals they control, but also the future planning of the entire race. At this stage, what is tested is the player's comprehensive thinking and problem-solving ability. As long as they are knowledgeable and clear-headed, although the step of clearing the level is not simple, it is not too difficult - if it doesn't work, just play more. times, then you will definitely understand.
Because each set has different races, different planet shapes, different terrains, and different gene plug-ins that can be obtained in the first stage, every new game can basically be said to be a brand new challenge, and players who can 100% pass the above stages , basically can be called elites. Even if such people do not practice any extraordinary power, they can still become outstanding talents in the real world.
But the fourth stage, the civilization stage, not only tests the overall situation, resource operation, strategic dispatch and world-scale social planning, but also tests whether there are any problems in the previous stages - such as the first and second stage, causing the entire race to have essential physical defects, such as extremely low fertility. In the third stage, it is also a big problem to perfectly handle social conflicts. This determines that when entering the fourth stage, the entire world Is civilization a unified whole
Of course, in addition to these, there is the most important point - that is to examine whether the player has strong combat and command capabilities. Players who only know how to operate but don't know how to fight will inevitably end in a bitter end in the fourth stage.
-Those who cannot withstand the flames of war or respond to threats cannot be called civilization at all. They are just giant, deformed babies that have been living in insulation rooms and nurseries and overgrown.
This is the concept that Joshua wants to implicitly hint at through the game Strife Continent.
Xiaoguang, after experiencing the first few mistakes and failures, has long summarized its own unique thinking logic and operation plan, so from the first stage to the fourth stage, it basically will not Making mistakes can allow civilization to develop perfectly and uniformly into the fourth stage, but here lies the problem.
Xiaoguang doesn't know how to fight at all.
Whether it is controlling the army or playing on his own, Xiaoguang's ability in this area can be said to be very low. Because of his peculiar shape, it is impossible to copy human combat techniques. This means that although Xiaoguang knows many fighting methods, he really cannot There are only a few that can be used. It is precisely because of this, because the controller himself knows nothing about fighting, and Xiaoguang's race is also a peaceful and excessive creature, and there is no urgency at all against the threat of war.
Just like the last time Joshua saw a species of plant intelligence used by Xiaoguang, just before the invasion of the chaos army from another world, they were still slowly spreading their leaves and roots, seemingly not caring about the existence of the enemy... Naturally, there was no such thing. The army has no fortress, and most of its technologies are not focused on combat. Such a race will naturally be destroyed immediately, and such a plot has appeared at least a dozen times.
But this kind of Xiaoguanghe race actually got through the fourth stage, even passed the fifth stage, and completed the closed beta copy
Joshua infiltrated his mind into the magic network, and he was reviewing Xiaoguang's game videos and records - the warrior was now curious about the opponent's process of clearing the level.
The huge amount of information turned into a torrent of data. If you were an ordinary person, you would have been lost in this storm of information. But even the total computing power of the Magic Network main server and the sub-servers all over Mycroft Continent can only Kankan suppressed the warrior's mental deviation, and the information flow in the Disputed Continent was originally designed by him and could not affect him at all.
Therefore, within a few seconds, Joshua, who passed through the layers of blockade, obtained the video of Xiaoguang's latest clearance.
Then in the real world, No. 3 in Joshua's hometown noticed that the soldier's expression froze for a moment.
"What's wrong, Joshua?"
She turned her head and asked a little strangely: "Are there any demons who are stupid and provoke the crew members of other races? If you ask me, just let them all go out independently to avoid so much trouble..."
"… No."
Joshua's expression returned to normal, and he breathed out: "Just maybe... I saw the birth of a very gentle devil..."
Magic Network, Continent of Strife customs clearance video.
It can be seen that a small cell is floating and wandering in the depths of a moist sea and land planet. It is not an element, nor does it have the affinity with other extraordinary energies such as psychic ether. This cell is ordinary. If I have to say something special, it is probably that it is a 'fungus' type. cells.
It does not have the mobility of ordinary cells, but it cannot carry out photosynthesis and produce organic matter like plant cells. The cells Xiaoguang set this time can only drift with the ocean currents. With luck, it can get some floating ones. Nutrition, they can divide and reproduce, but if they are unlucky, excessive hunger may even cause cells to digest and decompose the same kind... This seems to depend entirely on luck. The days of wandering in the sea lasted for a long time, until one day, the fungal cells controlled by Xiaoguang attached themselves to on a giant multicellular organism.
It was a large area of primitive sponges and ancient corals attached to the seabed near the sea. When most other creatures had evolved during the game, the cells controlled by Xiaoguang were still in their most basic form. However, when they landed there, For Xiaoguang, the game has just begun when he reaches the sponge pillars and coral layers that look like plants.
Joshua carefully watched the game process that was accelerated hundreds of times. He clearly saw that the fungal race controlled by the small light was hosted on the gentle sponges and corals. It hunted, absorbed, and digested other things attached to these large multi-cells. Other cells in the organism then slowly erode the sponge and the coral itself - for sponges that react extremely slowly and rely entirely on the ocean currents themselves to obtain nutrients and oxygen in the seawater, there is no way to discover that they have been eroded by some weird fungi. , and its instinctive counterattack is not worth mentioning at all to Xiaoguang, who has obtained a large number of genetic plug-ins through hunting and parasitism.
