Game Bug: The Target World of the Invasion
At this very moment.
The ancestral hall in East Wolf Village was already crowded with players.
Almost everyone is online.
After all, this is a free revival opportunity; it won't be available again after the event ends.
Only a fool wouldn't take advantage of such a huge benefit.
After all, even without doing any tasks, you can still do a lot with this free resurrection.
For example, fighting bosses, going all out, exploring, risking your life, and engaging in extreme gameplay.
In short, aside from a very few players who were genuinely unable to log in, everyone else came.
As a result, the area beneath the flying boat became crowded.
A large group of players are paying for ten level 20 monsters.
At this time, the only place on Wolf Snake Island where you can fight level 20 monsters is at sea, and you have to go more than ten miles deeper to find a school of strange fish.
Most of the land area is below level 20.
This is normal. If the land were full of level 20 and above creatures, it would be impossible for four large villages to grow here. There would only be one small village, barely surviving.
After all, monsters can attack cities, and they don't care about the rules of the ancestral hall.
Monsters can be resisted, but they don't care about rules; strange creatures cannot be resisted, but they are bound by rules.
This is what makes the Skyfall World unique.
After paying for their supplies, many players climbed up the rope ladder.
The group quickly discovered that the space inside the flying boat was astonishingly large.
It turned out that there was one person per cabin.
The ship's cabins have everything: restrooms, kitchens, swimming pools, karaoke rooms, dance halls, billiard rooms, cinemas, showers, saunas...
This left the players speechless.
Even the presidential suite couldn't possibly have such a large space.
For many players, this was their first time entering such a room, which could be described as a villa in the sky.
"At first I thought level 20 monster corpses were too expensive, but now that I see the benefits, plus the flying aspect, it's totally worth it!" one player exclaimed excitedly.
He was very cautious, unsure of where to place his feet.
The pristine white marble floor exudes a gentle warmth, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility.
"I wish I could live here every day!"
"Wow, this is even better than my apartment in person!"
"This feels so good!"
"What kind of technology is this?"
"Space technology, right?"
"That being said, since games can transport us to another world, it's quite normal for them to control spatial technology."
"Yes, that's absolutely amazing!"
And at this time...
Gao Linzhi also saw the flying boat in the distance through the window.
In his eyes, the players were packed tightly together, like goods stacked on top of each other, regardless of gender or age...
But on their faces, there was an expression of satisfaction and joy.
He couldn't help but shake his head; the operators were just stingy.
Like the previous Safe Zone shops, it uses illusions to replace space, creating a false illusion.
However, in terms of sensory experience, the enjoyment is the same.
However, this is equivalent to playing a virtual reality (VR) game within a real game – it's like a nested doll.
"Once we get the tickets, we can take off!" someone shouted in the event channel. "Forming teams now, 500 physique Berserker the way!"
"Beautiful ladies, come on, as long as your physique is over 100."
"You deadbeat simp, still licking my boots even in the game! You licked my boots before playing, and you still lick them now that you're playing. What's the point of playing this game?"
"Yes, the tickets are still quite expensive; each person gets ten level 20 monsters."
"If not, you'll have to go get it first."
"Hurry up and form a team! I've already created a team, and there are 7 level 45s in our team!"
Someone stood beneath the flying boat and began calling for help.
"Wow, wow, can you take me with you, boss? I'm so gentle and easy to push over."
"Get lost, you bastard!" At that moment, a flash of light slashed towards a man.
That man was killed with a single blow...
He was revived the next moment.
Of course, he had no choice but to withdraw from the event, as he only had one chance to revive.
"What the hell are you doing? Are you really going to chop me up?!" the man exclaimed in horror.
"That's right, I'd kill anyone I see! Be thankful there's a resurrection option this time," the team Captain in charge of forming teams said angrily.
"Wait a minute, isn't this Safe Zone? How can people still be being killed?"
"That's right? Does that mean the Safe Zone won't work during the event?"
The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves.
Gao Linzhi also saw this scene, and his heart stirred immediately.
Yes, this ancestral hall Safe Zone was added in a game upgrade, so why can people still be killed there?
This hadn't happened before in the Safe Zone because there were village Patrol Team.
At this moment, Gao Linzhi had already led everyone to the foot of the flying boat and witnessed the farce unfolding before them.
For a moment, the in-game treasure hunt was less exciting than the infighting among the players.
"Holy crap, was that guy really hacked to death?"
"Yeah, if it weren't for the event's revival bonus, I would have really died!"
And at this time...
The village Patrol Team also arrived.
Why did you kill someone?
"Don't you know you can't hurt others in the village?"
The player Captain panicked at this point, quickly retracting his previous statement and changing his words:
"I thought I was in Safe Zone, so my attacks would be automatically nullified, so I slashed him again. I didn't expect him to actually die; he didn't even try to dodge."
"Most people would dodge when they see a knife, right? The fact that he didn't dodge shows that he knew it was Safe Zone and therefore felt safe."
"Regardless, you two are coming with us. You will be punished..." The Patrol Team captain took the two men away and found several witnesses to testify.
The players were buzzing with discussion.
They completely forgot about the ongoing treasure hunt.
Gao Linzhi seemed to be deep in thought.
Clearly, the Skyfall Game is incomplete.
Having lost its developers, the Skyfall Game, now only operated by the operator, can only rely on illusions and some backend modification permissions to fight against the bizarre rules using the existing shrines in this world, barely managing to create a so-called Safe Zone.
In reality, it cannot be completely safe.
It was exposed when players suddenly clashed; it was unable to stop the killing in time.
However, Gao Linzhi knew that this fatal flaw would be quickly fixed.
This is a very serious matter.
Sure enough, another player tried to attack another player, but received Game System notification:
"You cannot attack others within the Safe Zone."
"But someone was just hacked to death?"
"Due to a game event update, there was a temporary issue with the Safe Zone, but it has now been fixed."
"The player who just died has had their resurrection count restored."
"Other players will be exempt from the airship ticket; those who have already paid will receive a refund of the equivalent amount of currency."
Just as I expected.
However, this incident also exposed that the operators of Skyfall Game are actually just a bunch of people, a makeshift team.
Because people always make mistakes.
Most of the other players didn't pay much attention to this little incident.
After all, bugs are common in games, it's just a pity we didn't receive much compensation.
It's just a one-time free boat ticket.
Soon, the players continued to form teams and board the airships.
Soon it was Gao Linzhi's turn.
However, Gao Linzhi, who knew the truth, did not want to be sent into this kind of cabin like a frozen pig.
Being crammed together with a bunch of grown men was an experience far more intense than the Spring Festival travel rush.
At least during the Spring Festival travel rush there are some gaps, but here it's completely people piled on top of each other.
"Boss, let's get on the boat quickly, or there might not be any seats left," Xu Gou said anxiously.
"No need, I won't get on this boat, you can get on," Gao Linzhi said, shaking his head.
"Boss, is there something wrong with this boat?"
"It's not a big problem, just a bit crowded."
Xu Gou was a little puzzled, but didn't ask any further questions.
"Crowded? Didn't they say it was very spacious?" Dragon Fruit asked directly for him.
"It depends on you yourselves. Those who understand will understand, and those who don't won't understand even if I explain it to them," Gao Linzhi, shaking his head.
And so, a large group of players, like pigs, crowded together, numbering over 600.
Gao Linzhi was dumbfounded.
This feeling of being the only one sober while everyone else is drunk is quite subtle.
Especially when watching the chat, all the players were full of praise for the flying boat.
Gao Linzhi was even more speechless.
Of course, he won't reveal it.
Wouldn't that be going against the operators?
Although Gao Linzhi believed that the other party wouldn't do anything to him, there was no need to cause trouble.
And at this time...
Someone shouted in the channel, "Hey boss, Canxue, why aren't you in a party?"
"Yes, what should we do? We'll do whatever you say."
"What should we do now? Which island should we go to? Please tell me."
At this moment, everyone pleaded.
And at this time...
But someone mocked, "What's going on?"
"Calling someone 'boss' all the time, even Canxue 'boss,' is really funny. Have they started recognizing a father figure in the game?"
"A bunch of idiots, delusional and delusional. Do you think anyone will even talk to you?"
"Exactly. The big shots aren't aloof; they just only talk to other big shots. Talking to you low-level players means getting leeched off, and nobody likes being leeched off."
"Yes, just like mosquitoes. Even if they only absorb a small amount of blood, people are unwilling to tolerate them and instead want to kill them."
"That's right, I'm a very kind person. I feel heartache even when I kill an ant, but I'm ruthless when it comes to swatting mosquitoes, and I even feel happy about it."
"Yes, yes, I agree. Seeing the blood from a dead mosquito makes me feel good; at least I don't have to be sucked by it anymore."
"These damned mosquitoes! After sucking your blood, they make you itch all over and can even spread diseases. They're a perfect example of feudalism! They not only suck the blood of the people, but they also torment them and make their lives miserable."
"Yes, the Sky Wolf Dynasty is just like that. You can bleed people dry, but you won't let the people live in peace. You have to make them work hard and risk their lives."
"Take this Longevity Water for example, it's obviously squeezed from some commoner's home. And now, they're trying to incite the prefects to fight each other. The people will be the ones who suffer the most."
"That's right, that's exactly it."
"Those fools still try to lick the boots of the big shots, unaware that in their eyes, they're nothing more than a bunch of bloodsucking mosquitoes."
"No matter how well you flatter them now, they won't give you any benefits in the end."
"That's right, those people are a bunch of fools."
And so, amidst the players' boisterous chatter, the team was finally formed.
Many players boarded the airship, and then they faced the question: Where to go?
Gao Linzhi naturally knew where to fly.
According to the intelligence provided by Clerk He, the nearby Prefectural Island include five islands: Sea Sky Island, Hailei Island, Haidian Island, Haifeng Island, and Huihuo Island, while Longevity Water is the Fenglei Island and Haifeng Island.
The flying boat should naturally head to the islands of Fenglei and Fenglei.
At this point, the players started arguing again about where to go.
"Is the airship stationary, or can it be manually controlled?" someone asked.
"Let's take a walk around the area and see what islands are there?"
And at this time...
A game notification rang in Gao Linzhi's ears.
"Player has obtained crucial information about the treasure hunt event. Should they share it with other players?"
"No sharing."
"Players can board the airship themselves, decide its direction, and enjoy the private cabin experience in the cockpit."
That's more like it.
Afterwards, Gao Linzhi, along with Wuliao and the others, boarded the airship, but instead of entering the cabin, they went into the cockpit.
It's much better in the cockpit; it's no longer crowded, at least everyone has a seat, and it's relatively spacious.
"Let's go to Sea Sky Island."
Gao Linzhi certainly wouldn't go directly to Fenglei Island; wouldn't that expose his objective?
Moreover, he understood that directly robbing was the most low-level method.
Because the opponent can easily destroy the Longevity Water.
This Longevity Water is not an unbreakable magic weapon; at least one person can easily drink it.
This raises a question: How was the imperial court so certain that this substance wouldn't be consumed?
Once it's drunk, no one else can compete with it.
With both peaches gone, the three warriors naturally couldn't be killed.
The airship quickly flew out of the village.
Then it flew rapidly eastward.
That's the direction leading to Sea Sky Island.
As Gao Linzhi watched the flying boat continue its forward flight, he suddenly understood something.
He realized that the game seemed to be intentionally inciting players to rebel against the imperial court.
He had this feeling before.
Now the game doesn't even bother with pretense; it directly uses the players' power to undermine the imperial court.
This game is actually quite good.
It can directly generate flying boats.
This is a vital mode of transportation, capable of directly altering the entire global landscape.
To be honest, if it were to be promoted, it would allow the imperial court to establish a firm rule over these peripheral islands.
The entire Sky Wolf Dynasty will thus gain immense power.
Of course, it will also be destroyed very quickly.
After all, once its central system makes a mistake, that mistake will quickly spread to every place it expands along with the game's flying boat.
This final mistake will bury the imperial court.
In the past, under the system of enfeoffment, although the imperial court could not control too many islands, it was also freed from various burdens and did not have to deal with the chaos on those islands, which would naturally be handled by the prefects.
The game obviously wouldn't share these game flying boats with the imperial court.
Can it directly generate other things?
The game's invasion of the Skyfall World must have been for a specific purpose.
No one would want to be a Bodhisattva.
What exactly is its purpose in invading this world?
In Gao Linzhi's view, it was probably a very high level of energy or matter.
In short, it won't be an ordinary commodity like gold.
The other party didn't need to go to such great lengths just for something like gold.
Given their capabilities, they could extract a great deal of information in the offline world.
Why would the other party need me to spend money on in-game purchases?
This is another major point of contention.
