Gale Anomaly, Golden Ratio

The players watched the impassioned governor, despite his imposing appearance.

He wore a dark black court robe, a beaded crown on his head, and a sword. He was tall and upright with a dignified face.

But in the players' eyes, the other party was like a clown, a monkey in a crown.

Why should they risk their lives for the imperial court?

That's ridiculous.

Everyone knows that doing things is for oneself; at worst, one becomes a sycophant for a woman.

Prefect Liu was clearly aware of this as well.

He glanced at the players and found that they were unmoved.

"The rebels are now holed up on their own island."

"I want you to go and defeat them!"

"As a reward, I will give each of you five hundred taels of silver!"

"And all the spoils of war, I will not keep them myself; they will all be given to the warriors!"

Only 500 taels?

The players scoffed, but the second condition was acceptable.

Of course, it's only possible.

Once players have acquired the loot, they'll likely put it in their inventory or even log off and transfer it.

It's impossible to go back to the past.

Now, however, it's perfectly legitimate to take it all for myself and trade it.

There are currently 1,000 players here, but it's only worth 500,000 taels of silver.

500 taels of silver was a lot in feudal times; it was enough for a family of five to live on for a lifetime.

But in the eyes of modern people, that's far too little; it's not even enough for a down payment on a house.

After all, money is so cheap these days.

Especially for these players, it is naturally even more insignificant.

A mere 500 taels is nothing at all.

After becoming players of the Skyfall Game, everyone can easily make money.

At the same time.

A few other players, however, had a glint in their eyes.

They lowered their heads and began to whisper among themselves.

What do you think the prefect's purpose is?

"Clearly, they want to use us players as cannon fodder, then use us to draw the enemy's attention while they send in people to infiltrate and steal the Longevity Water."

"Yes, that's what I think too."

"In that case, we'll have to revise our initial plan."

They were undercover agents sent by a group of Company Executive Players.

They all shared a single goal: to betray their own side at the last moment and seize the Longevity Water.

After successfully grabbing the item, I forcibly logged off.

It's safe once this is transferred offline.

Of course, they can discard their player identities.

In the past, they would have been silenced, but now all they have to do is delete their Game Character and hand it over to a new player.

In this way, no one can locate the person behind the scenes using Mystic System spells.

If there are no Game Character, how can we define our roles?

It's fair to say that the Company Executive Players have figured out all sorts of strategies and tactics.

However, judging from the current situation, their plan is simply not feasible.

Because these players are destined to be cannon fodder and have no right to approach the Longevity Water.

"We must find a way to get close to the governor, because only he knows the whereabouts of the Longevity Water."

"Then how should we approach them?"

"This would be difficult offline, but it's very simple here. The company has developed a method of possession, which is a kind of spell. As long as you obtain some blood or hair from the target, the more discreetly you do so, you can cast the spell."

"By worshipping for seven consecutive days, one can imbue a wisp of their thought into that person's divine consciousness, and at crucial moments, control that person."

Upon hearing this, the others' eyes lit up.

"This method is good, but who should we choose? Should we just choose the prefect?"

"No, the prefect is a key figure; he's bound to be well-prepared. We won't be able to deal with him."

"Then let's choose the nobody around him."

With everyone discussing this, a plan was quickly finalized.

At the same time.

In the Official Built-in Group.

Empty 2086 is currently swearing loudly:

"Damn it, that bastard with Canxue is going to get ahead of me again!"

"I finally found a clue about the Elixir of Longevity Water and learned that it was kept by a prefect's concubine."

"He actually got it right away, in one fell swoop."

"How did he get it? Surely the game store doesn't sell things like that, right?"

"There shouldn't be. If there were, why would they even have a treasure hunt event?"

"Did he just rob him?"

They really hit the nail on the head.

Gao Linzhi really did rob him outright...

Although this was not his original intention, the execution was good.

Several people discussed it in the group for a long time, but they still couldn't reach a conclusion.

"So what should we do now if we want to increase our points?" asked Riding the Wind to Beat Luo Shao.

"Our best strategy is to follow his path and leave him with nowhere to go," said Empty 2086.

"That's right, we sent people to infiltrate the island where he is."

"Since he already has the Longevity Water, it means there's a high probability he still has some."

"Yes, this is much more reliable than us searching around aimlessly."

Everyone agreed with this statement.

The game provides clear hints and score progression information; this is the most reliable data.

If they don't do this, then they are the biggest fools.

Rather than trying their luck on their own Taishou Island, they should go to the Prefectural Island where Gao Linzhi is located.

"Once we reach the Prefectural Island, which belongs to Wolf Snake Island, our chances of obtaining the Elixir of Longevity Water will only increase."

"Okay, let's get started."

Empty 2086 immediately found people willing to participate in the operation.

Of course, they were all smart enough to know that this operation was quite dangerous.

Fortunately, the game's event resurrection benefits, coupled with their own benefits as members of the in-game group, provided them with two guaranteed resurrections, which gave them the courage to do so.

Otherwise, it would just be a test.

"But it will be very difficult for us to get there; we are very far from Wolf Snake Island."

"Actually, it's not far. We just need to use the same spawn point switching strategy."

"Understood."

"However, we are not switching to Wolf Snake Island, nor to that Sea Sky Island, but to the island they are targeting."

To be honest, there's a convenient trick for players to navigate between islands.

That's based on the Respawn Point Switch Talisman that Gao Linzhi exchanged.

The execution process of the routine is as follows:

First, determine which island a player has landed on.

Next, determine the player's actual login location.

Then, using Respawn Point Switch Talisman, you log off and return to the player's real-world login location. When you log back in, you will appear on the new island where the player is.

This is a fast way to travel.

The key to this strategy lies in using a safe route through the Earth to cross the terrifying ocean of the Skyfall World Blue Star.

Whether you travel by plane, high-speed rail, or car, it's much safer than taking a boat or flying vessel in the Skyfall World.

Even the airships provided by the game's official developers couldn't give everyone the same sense of security.

They quickly arrived at Sea Sky Island using this method of switching spawn points.

They were supposed to switch to the target island, but the undercover agent replied that the governor refused to reveal the target island in order to maintain secrecy.

Having no other option, they went to Sea Sky Island and boarded the ship.

At that moment, there were many players, and it was very chaotic.

Although I registered them all out of boredom, this is a supernatural world with just too many ways to disguise oneself.

Therefore, it is impossible to guard against.

Meanwhile, Prefect Liu had already boarded the flying boat with his men.

The other players followed suit.

Gao Linzhi naturally went into the driver's seat.

The other players were stuffed into the spaceship like canned food, their eyes still filled with the illusion of living in the same suite.

In Gao Linzhi's opinion, if the game's event organizers could conjure such a powerful flying boat out of thin air, why would they need to use illusions?

Why not build more flying boats?

The only explanation is that it's to control costs.

The cost of manifesting this flying boat is likely very high.

After boarding the boat, Prefect Liu was also slightly dazed for a moment.

He had clearly seen through the flying boat's true nature.

But he didn't say.

As a shrewd person in the imperial court, the ability to speak to people in a way that suits them is their livelihood.

If Gao Linzhi could see it, how could he not?

Even though he saw through it, he not only didn't say anything, but instead looked at the flying boat and kept exclaiming in amazement at General Liu beside him:

"This is truly an unparalleled weapon."

"With it, we will be invincible, and unifying the entire Prefectural Island and its surrounding area of tens of thousands of miles will be a piece of cake."

"Yes," General Liu added, "And according to my findings, this thing seems to have the effect of reducing its own presence."

"It will not be discovered by strange fish in the sea or strange birds in the sky."

That's true.

When the flying boat sailed over the sea, the birds, monsters, and Deep Sea Giant seemed completely unaware of it.

It's as if you can't perceive its existence.

It flew away directly from overhead.

Gao Linzhi also continued to follow them on the ship.

He wanted to see what these guys were up to and how they were going to do it.

He wanted to see how the conflicts between the Feudal Lords would unfold under the feudal court of this extraordinary world.

During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the struggles among the Feudal Lords involved alliances, competition to reform and innovate, the introduction of talent, and the adoption of advanced tactics.

Wei Wuzu, wearing nomadic-style clothing and practicing archery on horseback, received military merits and titles from the Qin army...

One set of measures followed another, all designed to incentivize the people to serve with their lives on the line.

This is a world of the extraordinary.

How will they fight?

Gao Linzhi also wanted to see what the ceiling of human power was in this world.

Aside from the bizarre, what level can humanity reach?

If we only work in isolation, we will never know the maximum intensity of external forces.

When the enemy comes knocking, he will become a Manchu lord.

Unaware of the opponent's strength, they still thought of using broadswords, spears, and exorcism techniques to deal with the opponent's foreign guns and cannons.

This is also one of the reasons why Gao Linzhi uses a body double to travel outside.

Of course, we also need to handle the treasure hunt event and take the top spot on the leaderboard again, since that also rewards us with valuable Free Attribute Points.

I now have 1 million points, which basically secures my first place.

Unless someone can get more of the Longevity Water.

And so, with each party harboring their own ulterior motives, the flying boat carrying Rogue Players, Prefect Liu and others, and Corporate Players finally arrived at Haifeng Island.

As the name suggests, Haifeng Island must be a place with strong winds.

Actually, they were thinking pretty much the same thing.

Upon arrival, Gao Linzhi looked out the window and saw tornadoes swirling around a huge island.

That island is a huge volcanic island.

Surrounded by high ground and low in the middle, this is an island inside a volcanic crater.

The winds raged around the island, but the center remained calm.

If it weren't for the airship, it would have been virtually impossible to witness this scene; we would have been swept away by the gale as soon as we got close.

According to Gao Linzhi's estimation, even a modern aircraft carrier would not be able to get close to this island.

The waves were too big.

Only from their elevated position can they see inside the island.

Inside the island, there was a dense city, surrounded by fertile fields.

The crops are growing very well.

It was the most vigorous crop Gao Linzhi had ever seen.

Even the most advanced technological manors on Blue Star can't compare.

His eyesight is very good now, after all, he has a constitution of over a thousand.

He could clearly see that on that fertile field, there was a pumpkin as big as a person!

The apple is just as big as a watermelon, and the watermelon is just as big as a toy car.

The wheat grew as tall as the trees, and the ears of wheat were thick and strong, almost as long as a person's arm.

The people working in the fields were all very fat and strong, comparable to one in ten thousand generals in ancient times.

This left Gao Linzhi speechless.

This was the feudal era; if the location was very advantageous, the common people could live quite well.

Just like the Jiangnan region, a land of fish and rice, famines rarely occur because of the availability of water and warmth. Thanks to the water and climate, even if the harvest is poor, there is still plenty of food.

After everyone read it, they were all speechless.

How are we supposed to get across?

"What if a tornado comes up when we fly over from high altitude?"

"Look, the area down there is really quite wealthy."

"The government offices on this island seem pretty good."

Everyone knows that if the government is corrupt, even sand and air can be scarce.

Having fertile land alone is not enough.

At this moment, Prefect Liu spoke up, "Fellow warriors!"

"This Haifeng Island is blessed with unique advantages, as it is surrounded by a strange creature that is adept at creating wind."

"This strange creature unleashes a whirlwind every day."

"Once you're hit by this kind of strong wind, your whole body will turn into soft mud."

"This is unavoidable; the only option is to avoid it."

"To avoid this strong wind, we must calculate the exact time."

"Then how do we calculate it?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"I have heard of a method of deduction."

"This Gale Anomaly has a rest period every day."

"This break period resets on the first day of each month."

"The first break was at midnight."

"The second time is 1 o'clock."

"The third time was also at 1 o'clock, and then it would be 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 5 o'clock, and so on, in a cycle."

"Today is the 12th. Can everyone predict when the strong winds will subside today?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Linzhi smiled slightly.

Isn't this just the Fibonacci Sequence?

Fibonacci sequence.

This sequence is interesting; the third number is the sum of the first two numbers.

This sequence is not just a numerical arrangement; it also has practical value.

It can form a golden ratio.

The answer obtained by dividing two adjacent numbers gets closer and closer to 0.618, which is the golden ratio.

This plays a very important role in sculpture and architecture.
