During the mutual trolling battle between players from both sides on the Rise of Humans forum, Qi Sheng followed the whole process through feedback from Guidance.
Since Dark Land disconnected the live broadcast function of Star Network and changed the forum to a built-in forum, players who have not purchased the game have no idea what kind of game it is, and even the screenshots of the game cannot be leaked.
As a result, players on both sides believed that the other was a troll, and felt that the remarks made by the other player were completely inconsistent with the facts.
Moon Eclipse Clan can understand Qi Sheng's behavior of cutting off the connection between the game and the outside world.
The game Dark Land is essentially a training ground created by the Moon Eclipse Clan to deal with future crises. Earning foreign exchange through virtual games is not at its core consideration. Everything is based on the stable operation of virtual games as the core development concept.
The resources required to run this game are extremely large, and there are a series of problems that need to be optimized.
The first is the server carrying capacity, which is far from being as easy as the outside world thinks. The high-frequency data information generated by a large number of players after entering the game may even cause Star Network congestion, causing data transmission to be blocked, thus causing server errors or connection bugs and other problems.
In order to solve this problem, Moon Eclipse Clan adopted a plan to issue qualifications in batches, which is essentially a step-by-step server load stress test.
Moon Eclipse Clan will issue the next batch of game qualifications only after it is determined to be sufficient to carry existing players' normal experience of the game content.
Then a new round of stress testing will be carried out to continuously increase the server's capacity limit to prevent a sudden influx of large numbers of players from crashing the server.
Disconnecting functions such as live streaming is also to reduce the pressure on game operation.
However, in the eyes of ordinary players, this series of settings has become a means of hungry marketing, and they even think that Moon Eclipse Clan's behavior is too arrogant.
In this forum war, neither player has any game scene screenshots to send, which is the main reason why both sides believe that the other player is a troll.
Isolation mode that does not connect to the outside world prevents game content from being transmitted.
If there is a screenshot of the game that can visually prove it, both parties will inevitably enter a state of confusion and find that the other player is not playing the same game as themselves.
After the post about the battle between players from both sides was banned, Qi Sheng stopped paying attention to the subsequent development of the matter and switched his attention back to Monster World.
According to feedback from Guidance, strong energy fluctuations occurred in the leyline cliff Domain Node in the Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range area.
Following Guidance's perspective to the cliff of Leyline, Qi Sheng discovered that the evil tide was ready to break out.
The black mist that originally surrounded the tower slowly spread to the Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range area. Countless evil beings sometimes atomized and merged into Black Tide, and sometimes they condensed into evil bodies and roared.
The line of sight jumped to the Evil Eye tower. Di Nian Evil Spirit, standing on the platform of the tower, changed its shape under the infusion of energy from the node field.
The armor condensed with black mist became more ferocious and sharp, and the eyes sunken into the sockets were like two burning charcoal fires, with an aura of violence and destruction.
Di Nian Evil Spirit raised his hands at this moment, and Evil Eye hanging above his head moved downwards, and the tentacles pierced his back to complete the connection.
Immediately, the perception of perspective spreads outward rapidly, and the control of Black Tide is also greatly strengthened after the connection.
"Evil Eye, target!"
Hearing Di Nian Evil Spirit's instructions, Evil Eye blinked, and suddenly the blurry scene in the Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range area appeared in its mind.
You can see multiple flashing light points in the scene, each light point represents a Domain Node area.
Evil Eye lowered his head and looked at Di Nian Evil Spirit:
"Except for the Domain Node that mysteriously disappeared, other areas can be Conquest's targets, but I suggest that this node be occupied last. There are a large number of Origin Source creatures in it, and it is not easy to capture it with our current strength."
As he finished speaking, a Domain Node flashing light on the fuzzy map in Di Nian Evil Spirit's mind turned red, marking it as a dangerous area.
And this area is Spirit Artifact Valley heading west from Emperor's Tomb Village.
"Okay." Di Nian Evil Spirit nodded solemnly, then gave the order in his heart, and then conveyed it to Black Tide through Evil Eye.
Suddenly, the surging Black Tide fog below the tower rolled up fog waves, sweeping and spreading in the direction pointed by Di Nian Evil Spirit's consciousness.
Qi Sheng's consciousness also followed Guidance back to Emperor's Tomb Village.
Every time Di Nian Evil Spirit occupies a Domain Node, his strength will be significantly enhanced. He will not let Black Tide controlled by Di Nian Evil Spirit wantonly invade Domain Node.
Even if it cannot be stopped at this stage, the speed of Black Tide's spread and strengthening must be slowed down as much as possible.
"It's time for training."
Qi Sheng closed his eyes at this moment, and his head suddenly turned into a blazing Di Zhao fire, spreading throughout his body.
At the same time, the challenger prompt sounded in the minds of all players:
[Challenger Tips (all areas): The Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range area is about to usher in the Black Tide disaster, triggering a special mission: Black Tide Hunter]:
Black Tide Hunter (Special Mission):
Mission introduction: Hunt the evil spirits of Black Tide, and prevent the Black Tide forces from encroaching on Domain Node in the Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range area (the map function will mark the direction and area where Black Tide spreads).
Mission reward: During the duration of the mission, every time a player kills a Black Tide evil spirit, the Evolution Points and Sacrificial Power rewards will be increased by 14%, and the mission contribution will be calculated (the mission contribution will be rewarded according to the ranking after the mission ends)
Mission duration: unknown
This special mission, Qi Sheng, has increased the player's income from hunting evil spirits.
Originally, hunting extracted 30% of the income, and the player's income was 70%. After the mission was released, the player's income increased by 14% from the original basis, becoming 79.8% of the actual income, and an additional 10% was returned.
This is done to encourage players to take the initiative to challenge the evil spirit of Black Tide and act as a roadblock to the spread of Black Tide.
After the game prompt was released, online players responded positively.
The increased hunting rewards, coupled with additional contribution rewards, are extremely attractive to players.
They are all hunting, and obviously hunting Black Tide evil spirits brings higher benefits.
Player groups were moved by the news and posted information on recruiting teammates on regional channels, deciding to go hunting in areas where Black Tide spread.
Many players who were originally mining at Gloomy Cave also joined this collective action.
The vast army of players started from Emperor's Tomb Village and faced the sweeping Black Tide from different directions.
The first group of players who came into contact with Black Tide were the players who pushed north and crossed the Ancient Battlefield area. The scene in front of them shocked them.
The pitch-black wave covers the horizon and sweeps in in a mighty manner. Countless ferocious-looking evil beings can be seen emerging from Black Tide, as majestic as locusts passing through. The earth trembles slightly under the surge of Black Tide.
This scene is like a black curtain rising from the end of the horizon, seeming to cover the entire world in darkness.
"Fuck, this scene is so scary. If it weren't for the game, I might be scared to death!"
"Not long after the server was launched, it gave us such a high intensity. Dog Moon Eclipse Clan really thinks highly of us."
"Hiss~ I smell the rich fragrance of Sacrificial Power. Why does this apocalyptic scene make me a little excited? It feels so good (a player opened his arms and looked at Black Tide in the distance and sighed)."
"Brothers Hero Guild, the time has come to earn contributions. Kill one to make a profit, kill two to make even more money, and kill three to make a lot of money. Go ahead!"
Following the calls from the voice channels of various teams and guilds, the player community faced the sweeping Black Tide without hesitation.
When the player group collided with Black Tide, the players who were ready to die suddenly found that the situation was not as bad as they thought.
The seemingly terrifying evil spirit Black Tide is far less powerful than Blood Corpse, and even not as strong as Cursed Soldiers.
Many screenshots of the analysis were circulated on regional voice channels.
[Black Tide·Evil maggot]:
Hunting level: 1
Introduction to target analysis: The low-level evil spirit born from Black Tide has no self-awareness and will only act according to the will of the controller of Black Tide.
[Black Tide·Dark Dog]:
Hunting level: 1
Introduction to target analysis: The low-level evil spirit born from Black Tide has no self-awareness and will only act according to the will of the controller of Black Tide.
[Black Tide·Magic Flea]:
Hunting level: 2
Introduction to target analysis: The low-level evil spirits born from Black Tide have no self-awareness and can strengthen Black Tide by devouring flesh and blood.
Players were surprised to find that the strength of the Black Tide monster was far lower than expected.
Hunting levels are generally at level 1-2, and very few are at level 3.
In the eyes of veteran players, the weak Black Tide is just a toy that can be killed at will.
Just like Gloomy Cave's black-armored soldiers easily massacred players at that time, players who discovered that the intensity of the evil spirit was very low turned on the unparalleled mowing mode and rushed into the wave of evil spirits to start a crazy massacre.
A player who followed the growth path of Monster Stream transformed into a giant black-armored snake more than ten meters long and pounced on Black Tide during the battle, running rampant among the evil spirits like a dragon.
After a player switches to the Bone Fire form, he releases the power of Inkflame to generate five fireballs surrounding himself, rushes into the group of evil spirits and activates the side push mode. The evil spirits will be burned out the moment they come into contact with the fireballs.
A player holds Li Man Axe and opens and closes in a group of evil spirits. He can kill several evil spirits with one blow, just like the God of War coming to the world.
During this period, the regional voice channels were full of laughter:
"It turns out that Monster Stream is so cool. Look at that brother's Black Armor Snake, which is almost as tall as a three-story building. His hunting level must be at least 20+. It's like a battlefield bulldozer. It's too violent."
"Hahaha, I have been playing this game for more than ten days, and I am often abused outside. I finally feel good."
"The player embedded with Bone Fire Monster Soul took off and released fireballs to surround himself. It was completely invincible mode. The only thing that can limit our progress is mana (mental power)"
"Oh no, I'm going Monster Stream. My Eagle Head Demon form is so weak. I can't feel happy at all. It kills too slowly."
"It feels so good to me. It's like mowing grass. Although most evil spirits can only produce 0.5 Sacrificial Power, the feeling of killing feedback prompts constantly ringing in my mind is really exciting."
"It hurts my heart to see you killing so well. The forum said that Taunt is the strongest Monster Soul at this stage, so I chose the combination of Stone Gargoyle and Taunt. But the problem is that the characteristics of Taunt can only be effective on intelligent life. It is useless at this time. What should I do? Who can tell me what to do?"
"Brothers Taunt upstairs, don't break the defense first. Your Taunt and Stone Gargoyle forms at least still have combat power. I chose the Astral Veins combination of Eagle Head Demon plus Eat Qi. I was thinking of using Eat Qi to extend the time for Eagle Head Demon to open the sensing angle and enhance battery life, but it's useless now. Seeing the guild brothers killing each other is so fun, I want to switch to Monster Soul (God of Wealth Red Wen Clenched Fist. jpg)"
Qi Sheng, who observed the battle from the player's perspective, smiled happily after seeing the player's performance.
When Challenger Plan was originally formulated, he had studied Black Tide.
The most terrifying thing about Black Tide is not only the quantity, but also the ability to devour growth.
All creatures devoured in Black Tide will become part of Black Tide's power. In Black Tide sweep mode, the intensity of Black Tide will become higher and higher, and the intensity of the evil spirit generated will also increase accordingly.
And the Challenger System he created perfectly restrained this.
After the player dies, the flesh and blood materials and energy that make up the body will be extracted by Hyperdimension who masters the rules of All Things Extraction, and then sent back to Emperor's Tomb Village for reshaping by the power of Yan Ming's space.
No matter how many players the evil spirit kills, it can't absorb even a tiny bit of growth energy.
But the evil spirit killed by the player will become the nutrients for the player's growth.
The first collision between Player Calamity and Black Tide natural disasters, the player used practice to prove that the setting he originally conceived was completely feasible.
When the player turns on the unparalleled mowing mode, Sacrificial Power's income in Qi Sheng's eyes is also growing rapidly.
If the player is given 10% more feedback, his income will not decrease, but his time-sharing income will increase several times.
The player enjoys killing, and he makes money.
Black Tide Legion led by Di Nian Evil Spirit may be able to show off their power for a while in other low-intensity areas. After all, when the creatures in low-intensity areas are finally exhausted in the face of the raging evil spirits, as long as they fall, they will become nutrients for Black Tide to strengthen themselves.
As long as the evil spirit bred by Black Tide dies, the energy that constitutes the life form will be re-integrated into Black Tide. The loss is very low, and it can quickly re-condensate to form new evil spirit life, which can be killed endlessly.
But the two terrifying characteristics of Black Tide pose no threat to the Player Legion.
When the player dies, the income loss of Qi Sheng is 0, and when the player kills the evil spirit, the energy of the dead evil spirit will be extracted and converted into Evolution Points and Sacrificial Power and integrated into the player's body.
During the fight, players become stronger and stronger, but the strength of Black Tide is constantly weakened.
The Black Tide natural disasters that other forces regard as extremely terrifying, in the eyes of Qi Sheng, are completely nutrients for the growth of players.
Black Tide is still wreaking havoc. In less than an hour, the number of online players has dropped by half, and the remaining players have also entered a state of Qi and Blood exhaustion or mental exhaustion.
But Qi Sheng doesn't care.
Even if Black Tide sweeps through the entire Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range, it will not be able to affect Emperor's Tomb Village, which is independent from the world barrier.
In the battle against Black Tide, Player Legion will eventually win the final victory.
Just when Qi Sheng was rejoicing at the soaring income, Di Nian Evil Spirit on the Evil Eye tower had already noticed something was wrong.
"Evil Eye, why can't this group of mysterious creatures be decomposed and absorbed by Black Tide after death? Also, why can't the evil creatures bred by Black Tide be reincorporated into Black Tide after being killed by these mysterious creatures?"
Facing the inquiry, Evil Eye, who was floating above his head, was silent for a long time and then said:
"I can't find any information about this race in the information database shared with me by other nodes. I can't determine the specific reason. Maybe you can try to catch one and bring it back. I will find the reason through memory reading."
"Okay." Di Nian Evil Spirit nodded immediately, and then began to control Black Tide to take action.
Near Wind Wave Pond.
"I can't kill anymore. I'm so tired that my legs are shaking. How are you guys?" Zou Feng said, turning to look at his teammates beside him.
But he found that his teammates were nowhere to be seen, and his sight was completely obscured by the raging evil spirits.
Calling up the team's voice channel, he cleared up the doubts in his mind.
The team's voice channel showed that his teammates had all entered death cooldown. No wonder he never heard his teammates' voices, and there was no reply no matter how he called.
Looking at the balance of Sacrificial Power, he found that he had made more than 200 points of Sacrificial Power unknowingly.
"Cool!"
Facing the evil spirits attacking from all directions, Zou Feng tightened his grip on Shattering Blade and decided to kill as many evil spirits as possible before entering the death cooldown.
During the battle, Zou Feng couldn't help but sigh at the realism of the game.
Muscle soreness and even thirst caused by continuous fighting, these extremely real somatosensory feedback are all components that affect his combat effectiveness, not just changes in the health bar number.
Not long after, Zou Feng fought until he was exhausted, collapsed on the ground and gasped, letting his body be overwhelmed by the evil life:
"I have no energy left, so log off."
But what surprised Zou Feng was that the evil spirits did not eat his body. The evil spirits nearby lifted him up and moved quickly towards the depths of Black Tide. The evil spirits he encountered along the way would actively avoid them and give him a way forward.
"Where are you going?" Zou Feng was suddenly confused.
Already exhausted, he was too lazy to struggle and didn't want to know the reason. He immediately called up the function panel and tried to log off.
However, under severe turbulence, Teleportation Array could not be generated in the player's body of Zou Feng. Every time the formation started to be outlined, it would be broken up, and the game prompts also sounded in his mind:
[Challenger Tip: It is in a state of severe turbulence and offline transmission cannot be started.]
"Forget it." Realizing that he could not log off directly, Zou Feng simply lied on Xie Sui and refreshed the forum information.
"Damn it, Black Armor Snake, Monster Stream, which is more than ten meters tall, turns out to be so powerful!"
Seeing a video on a popular post, Zou Feng couldn't help but exclaim. The huge Black Armor Snake in the picture was rampaging through the evil spirits in a crushing posture. Every time it rolled or flicked, it could kill a lot of evil spirits.
Time passed, during which Zou Feng quit the forum and took a look at his own situation, and found that he was still in a bumpy road.
Although his physical strength had somewhat recovered, he did not rush to take action and chose to continue lying on Xie Sui's body.
The reason for not resisting was that he felt that he might have triggered a hidden mission, and it was hard to say that this unknown journey would bring huge benefits.
Many players have proven that Monster World is Fortuitous Encounter everywhere.
For example, a player who accidentally picked up a machine made a sudden fortune of 38,000 points Sacrificial Power. When he saw the post, his eyes were red, and he just wished that the player who encountered this shitty luck could not be him.
This unexpected encounter may be Fortuitous Encounter.
Feeling bored, he chose to continue to browse the forum information to pass the time. During this period, he occasionally exclaimed about a certain player's wonderful performance in fighting evil spirits.
I don't know how long it took, but the bumpy feeling suddenly disappeared.
A lift emerged from below, lifting him upwards.
Zou Feng, who had exited the forum function, was thrown to the tower platform by the evil spirit, and fell onto the hard black stone slab, letting out a muffled groan.
Looking up, he was startled by the ferocious-looking Di Nian Evil Spirit in front of him.
By analyzing the information, he was surprised to find that this was actually Evil Spirit Warrior who beat up God of Wealth.
He also participated in this battle. If they hadn't tried their best to stop him, God of Wealth would have passed the first seven days.
Just when he was wondering about his situation, several black tentacles shot out from the huge eyes on the top of Di Nian Evil Spirit's head and connected with his head. Two of the tentacles pierced his temples, causing him severe pain.
What followed was a strong feeling of dizziness, the world was spinning, and the vision became blurred.
