A Legendary Little Story
[If I'm not mistaken, this Forbidden Existence, isn't it?]
[You son of a bitch, you traitor!]
[Who did they do anything wrong? Didn't we say before that we should abandon narrow-minded global prejudices and work together to build a community with Fate mankind?]
[It's you again, damn it! Can't you at least put on an act, even if Forbidden Existence? At least use an anonymous name.]
[Legendary Short Story Update (5/5): So, what happened last time...]
Su Luo's gaze lingered for a moment on the sender of the daily updates to "Legendary Short Stories," and she began to browse through his past posts with great interest.
Due to the length limit of a single message, he divided this rather long story into five days of serialization.
This involves the well-known rule regarding the maximum number of messages that can be sent in a single message on the World Channel.
This upper limit is not simply Lock-On the number of characters, but rather Lock-On the "total amount of information" carried by the message.
At the same time, due to the differences in semantic density between different languages and the complexity of text types in different contexts, the actual number of characters that can be sent varies.
For example, in normal text format, it can send about 180 characters in Chinese and around 130 words in English.
Attempting to exploit loopholes by using highly refined language such as classical Chinese will not work. The system's criteria for judging the amount of information are quite intelligent, and it comes with a seamless translation function.
Therefore, to publish lengthy information or complex intelligence on the World Channel, it usually requires multiple professionals in the same region to collaborate and relay the message, or, like this "storyteller," to patiently serialize it over several days.
For example, information about the current situation in Layton's hometown was relayed by several fellow battlefield professionals.
Such long messages are generally quite valuable, far exceeding the amount of fluff on World Channels, and this Legendary little story is of common interest to many of the world's top professionals.
It's not because the poster or the Protagonist of the story is a top-tier expert; they are not practitioners of Forbidden Class, they are just rather eccentric, and their way of narrating information is also quite interesting.
[Hi everyone, this is my first time posting. Here's a short, exciting story, absolutely true:]
That was about the Monster Tide earlier; everything is normal. Life is like wheat in a field, harvested one crop after another. My greatest pleasure is watching the population numbers in the area, seeing them fluctuate; and watching the live stream to see who might pose a threat to me in the Future (just kidding).
When I went to the Waterworld World Channel, I noticed the Regional Channel was flooded with messages, and I realized something was wrong. After asking around, I learned that another professional in the region had died.
He died at the hands of a non-professional.
[It seems everyone enjoyed yesterday's story. Let me give you a brief background.]
Our area is quite advanced, with two professionals, several organizations, and we started experimenting with different survival strategies a long time ago. I'm a lone wolf; I don't hang out with them. I mostly just kill Killing, send messages, and help maintain Order so we can buy things.
Another professional, let's call him A, is a member of a faction with a thousand members. He has good Talent and is ruthless enough to devour a large amount of resources, quickly leveling up to Level 5, accumulating Free Attribute Points, and even successfully completing the Trial Instance.
[Legendary Short Story (3/5) Don't panic, everyone, I'm coming!]
A became a professional, and his organization chose the route suggested on the World Channel — the Fused Sanctuary. That is, to overcome Monster Tide with the help of other professionals in the same Sanctuary.
A did a great job, managing to obtain Attribute Skill Book from [Dangerous Terrain], and returned to bring joy to all the poor and needy.
This Monster Tide was a collective effort. Centered on A's Sanctuary, over a hundred Sanctuary merged into a large stronghold, with A personally leading everyone to resist the Monster Tide.
Su Luo nodded slightly upon seeing this.
He had already learned from the World Channel that if professionals assist non-professionals during Monster Tides, it will trigger an extremely severe punishment mechanism, which is worse than death.
I doubt anyone would dare unleash a large-scale area-of-effect attack during Monster Tide.
However, if the members are from the same Sanctuary, no penalty will be triggered; only the reward will be significantly reduced.
Many believe that one Future development direction is for groups to jointly support professionals and integrate all members' Sanctuary into the professionals' Sanctuary, with professionals leading the defense against Monster Tide to improve the overall survival rate and gain more time for development.
The district acted quite swiftly, beginning its operations during the fourth Monster Tide.
Zone 76 is currently only in the pilot phase because there is no pressure from Monster Tide.
Continuing with yesterday's information:
[Legendary Short Story (4/5) Continued from the previous chapter:]
This person, A, possesses a strong resemblance to ancient customs, especially a fondness for male beauty.
Our other Protagonist, let's call him B, is very handsome, has good genes, is very strong, and has helped A before his Class Change on several occasions.
The root of everything happened three days before the Monster Tide, which led to this tragedy.
The greatest hatred in the world is the taking of another man's wife and daughters, the Killing his parents, and the ingratitude of those who betray their country.
B's father, whom he had painstakingly searched for and Sacrifice his entire life for, was first boiled and then killed by A.
[Ah?!]
[That's normal, the pressure is too much, so you just grab whatever comes to mind.]
[Invincible kid.]
[She has delicate features and good genes.]
[I thought B had been raped.]
[Is A crazy? Would a normal person do this?]
I want to see an epic battle between A and B!
[I was thinking B was so lucky, living in the same district as his father, and both of them were still alive, until I saw the last sentence... It would have been better if they had just died.]
[Legendary Short Story Update (5/5) Last time:]
A has a penchant for male homosexuality and possesses an ancient, refined charm; B is handsome and strong, and offers him assistance, but incurs A's hatred for A, who murdered his father.
The specifics are unclear, but it is known that B later smiled and said to A, "Well done."
The two then continued their interactions as usual until the Monster Tide arrived. B single-handedly defeated the tenth wave, then went outside to continue the challenge.
Wave 10 of B is the limit; the challenge is wave 11, which, according to Ye Da Lao's information, is a Level 5 Boss Monster.
However, he was not in the Sanctuary, which triggered the "Fighting Alone" buff, increasing the strength of the monster waves and bringing forth an Elite monster of level 8.
He returned to the Sanctuary before the monsters entered. During the live stream, over 100 people died, including A and B.
Su Luo frowned.
[Speechless. Can't the system add a World Channel message management function and give the permissions to the Survivors? This kind of spam should be permanently blocked.]
[B's thinking is rather unconventional, and he's really ruthless.]
[The "Fighting Alone" debuff can be used like this? I thought it was just a system mechanism to clear out Survivors who have lost their Sanctuary.]
[Experience is never important, what matters is the increased strength of Monster Tide... So what is the strength of level 8 Elite monsters?]
[Ye Fan: There are some outside the region, with Main Attribute at least 21, and the strength range is quite large.]
I felt a chill run down my spine, a deep unease, as if something in the shadows had shattered.
Trust has been shattered once again. The future is dark, I cannot see it; the road is winding, I cannot finish it!
[What's the meaning?]
[Ha, you idiot, figure it out yourself. Life's meaningless, brothers, let's jump!]
[I've completely lost faith in this Goushi system. Let's all chip in and write an outline of human history.]
