No Desire to Update, but There's No Choice
Xiao Fan suppressed his shock.
The red light incident at Crystal Mist Peak had far exceeded his expectations.
He stood behind Luo Yi, waiting to see if he could get any more useful information from these people.
While considering their next course of action.
To rescue Ye Bugu, Jian Qingfeng, and the others, the only option is to clear the level 150 large-scale dungeon, <Ghost Domain>.
Combine this with the game nodes that Xiao Yi told him about in the secret realm.
According to the normal game process, once the first player reaches level 150, the <Ghost Domain> Dungeon will appear, and players who are not in the safe zone will be randomly pulled in.
The <Ghost Domain> version will not be officially updated and launched until all players who were pulled into Dungeon have cleared it.
Here is a key piece of information.
Although the <Ghost Domain> Dungeon is a level 150 Dungeon, it doesn't actually have any level requirements for players; otherwise, it wouldn't randomly pull players in.
Based on this, the monsters in the Dungeon won't be very strong, and there might be modes or items that allow low-level players to survive.
Xiao Fan regretted not asking Xiao Yi about the specific details of the <Ghost Domain> Dungeon when they were in the secret realm.
Otherwise, he could prepare in advance for clearing the <Ghost Domain> Dungeon later.
But...
"Since these people from Luo Yi are from Mercury, they should know the specific details of the <Ghost Domain> Dungeon and might even have a strategy guide."
Xiao Fan stared at Luo Yi's back of the head, thinking to himself, "Once Brother Zhou and the others arrive, I'll find a way to capture him and force him to reveal the details of the <Ghost Domain>."
This is the best approach at present.
However, considering that Luo Yi has the ability to pull players into Dungeon, he cannot act rashly now.
Seeing that the people in Luo Yi were not saying anything, Xiao Fan found a corner to sit down.
Luo Yi also mentioned something else: the reason these people wanted Cloud Sea to update the <Ghost Domain> Dungeon as soon as possible was so they could return to Mercury quickly.
What does that mean?
Does this mean that all the planets invaded by <Cloud Sea> will be interconnected in the future? Will players be able to access other planets invaded by the game?
Why am I starting to look forward to it?
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Xiao Fan quickly shook his head.
This is not a good thing. The time intervals between the Cloud Sea's invasions of various planets are too long. What if a level 1000 player wanders onto the Blue Star Server? How will they resist?
Xiao Fan felt a sense of crisis rise in his heart again. He needed time to develop, and Blue Star also needed time to develop.
That despicable Luo Yi! How could he be so selfish as to shorten the development time for players on Blue Star just to return to his hometown?
How exactly did he manage to do that?
This was the thing Xiao Fan couldn't understand the most.
"Why."
Xiao Fan sighed deeply, feeling increasingly helpless the more he thought about it.
It's practically a done deal that the <Ghost Domain> version will be updated ahead of schedule. Ye Bugu, Jian Qingfeng, and all the players trapped in the <Ghost Domain> Dungeon must be rescued.
"I'm speechless. All I want is my million back, why is it so hard?"
They're all brothers, Xiao Fan can't just sit idly by and do nothing about this.
Besides, at his level, how could he not experience this new version of the Dungeon?
What if there are good Dungeon rewards? Thinking of this, Xiao Fan changed his title to [Lone Brave] again, just in case he forgot and it would be too late to change it once he entered the Dungeon.
Xiao Fan then opened the game page and told Zhou He about the identities of the Luo Yi Mercury players and the reason for Jian Qingfeng and the others' disappearance.
The matter of "Ghost Domain" involves a game version update, which also affects all players in the Dragon Nation. Xiao Fan must tell Zhou He about it.
After the message was sent, Zhou He did not reply for a long time.
Xiao Fan guessed that he was either busy with rescue efforts or was deeply shocked by the news.
About ten minutes later, Zhou He finally replied to the message.
Even through the game interface, Xiao Fan could sense his shock.
Are these things all true?
Xiao Fan immediately replied, "It's true, I heard it with my own ears."
Zhou He: "Where are Luo Yi and the others now? And where are you now?"
Xiao Fan: "They're on this ridge leading to Crystal Mist Peak. I'm right next to them. Don't worry, they won't find me."
Zhou He remained silent for a while before sending a message: "Brother Xiao, what do you think of this matter?"
Xiao Fan:...
"We definitely need to save that person; you can decide on the rest."
Zhou He was on his way to Crystal Mist Peak Snow Mountain he saw the message from Xiao Fan and stood there stunned for a long time.
The message from Xiao Fan was too information-heavy for him to process in a short time.
What shocked him most was not Luo Yi's identity, the arrival of the <Ghost Domain> Dungeon, or the disappearance of Jian Qingfeng and the others, but rather the game <Cloud Sea> behind it all.
It's not just their Blue Star that's being invaded; many other planets are also being invaded. In future game updates, players from different planets will be able to meet each other in the game and even travel to other planets.
For Zhou He, what's the difference between this and competing on the same stage with aliens?
This was something he couldn't accept in a short time.
The idea of memories being altered is chilling to even think about.
He had already found information about Luo Yi, both in the Real World and in his gaming career.
There have been absolutely no problems, from childhood to adulthood, from military service to gaming.
Could these memories have been altered by the Game System?
How is it possible that Game System can influence real-world human memories?
Considering that attribute points, skills, and items gained in games can also manifest in the real world, how can he say it won't affect his memories?
Zhou He couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. Just how many players on Blue Star were actually from other planets? Were all the players from the Never Setting Sun Settlement in Luo Yi from the same planet?
Under what circumstances did they regain their memories? And how did it affect game updates?
There are too many questions, only the players in Luo Yi know the answers.
Zhou He thought about it carefully; now Jian Qingfeng and the others had been pulled into the Dungeon.
They can't stop updating the <Ghost Domain> version now, even if they don't want to.
Since they share the same goal as the players in Luo Yi, is there a possibility of temporary cooperation?
Luo Yi provided them with a guide to the "Ghost Domain" Dungeon, and they went in to rescue people.
As for the version update after clearing the game, let's rescue the people first.
Thinking of this, Zhou He sent his thoughts to Xiao Fan and then asked him a question.
"Brother Xiao, what do you think the chances of this collaboration are?"
Xiao Fan shook his head. "Very small."
Zhou He: "Why?"
Xiao Fan: "These people from Luo Yi won't completely trust us. After all, what they want to do is to get Blue Star into the new version ahead of time and connect with other planets. This will greatly shorten the development time for us Blue Star players, which will not benefit us in the future. We might even suffer terrible punishment because of our lack of strength."
Luo Yi had previously mentioned the Ranked Match version. Based on his gaming experience from his previous life, Xiao Fan roughly guessed that this Ranked Match would involve players from different planets competing simultaneously.
Those who rank high will be rewarded, and those who rank low will be penalized.
However, Zhou He's words also make some sense.
They now share the same goal and there's a possibility of cooperation; it all depends on how it's executed.
Xiao Fan: "Let's try it first and see if we can get some information out of him."
Zhou He: "Alright, then I'll leave this matter to you, brother."
Xiao Fan:...
