Two Hundred Million Players Stealing Crops Online, and Someone Volunteered to Take the Blame!
Song Zehui, who was breaking down and sobbing, suddenly found a pair of large, silvery-white feet in front of him.
Looking up, I saw a silver-white cesium metal robot holding an AK-47 standing in front of me.
Song Zehui was startled and exclaimed, "Are you crazy? Are you trying to kill us? I have nothing here, and someone's still trying to steal my vegetables?"
"A vegetable-stealing robot equipped with Charge —is this theft or robbery?"
"Could it be sent by S8201?"
The robot stared at him with icy eyes, making Song Zehui's scalp tingle.
"Could it be... that they're going to kill me?"
Dying in the game world results in enormous losses.
Death deducts game points; no game points deducts level; no level deducts attributes.
For beginners, this can be really deadly.
In reality, Song Zehui was overthinking it; the robot's gaze was cold no matter who it looked at.
It's just a cold, hard lump of iron, yet it gives everyone a "cold look."
Then, the robot moved. It carried the AK on its back, picked up a handful of rapeseed from the grass, and planted them directly in four vacant plots of land.
Five minutes later, the robot took away half of the ripe grass, leaving the other half for Song Zehui.
Before leaving, the robot gave Song Zehui an "OK" sign.
Even if Song Zehui's brain was completely muddled at this moment, he knew what this robot was here for.
"But why? Could it be that we know each other in the real world?"
"Holy crap, who knew that grass seeds could be used to grow vegetables? And who knew that a vegetable-stealing robot could grow and harvest vegetables? I'm speechless."
Yes, who would have thought?
If it weren't for the Fully Automatic Idle System, Ling Yi probably wouldn't have thought of it this way.
After all, in the players' minds, only seeds in the game are seeds; how could grass seeds possibly be considered seeds?
With a direction in mind, Song Zehui got to work.
Soon, he became the second player among all players to reach farm level 3.
He finally saw items like the AK and the country dog in the game store.
This excited Song Zehui, who couldn't wait to check out S8201's farm and see how it was doing.
The control panel displayed the message: "The opponent's level is higher than the player's; viewable."
Song Zehui didn't seem to care. He was leveling up, and the other guy wasn't idle either. He just wondered what level this Big Shot had reached.
He was now almost 100% certain that this S8201 knew him in the real world; otherwise, it wouldn't have revealed such a hidden setting to him so easily.
He mentally compared names to people he knew, but none of them matched.
The only one who matches up is the homeroom teacher, Luo Yunhai.
On one hand, Luo Yunhai is a gamer with a level 5 brand, which is considered Little Gao player. On the other hand, only Luo Yunhai is familiar with all of their students.
Even with privacy settings that protect your privacy, it can still recognize you.
As for the others, Song Zehui never even considered them.
It was even less likely that they would think of Ling Yi, since Ling had only transferred to their class a month ago, they weren't familiar with each other, and had almost no interaction.
Of course, Ye Fei didn't want to either. In Song Zehui's mind, Ye Fei was just a piece of trash whose talent could never even get a D.
Well, out of the three answers, Song Zehui has successfully eliminated two correct ones.
As for Ling Yi's side, it's quite lively right now.
After testing it on Song Zehui, Ling Yi was certain of one thing: his vegetable-stealing robot could indeed grow vegetables in other players' fields.
Therefore, Ling Yi set up the Automatic Idle System to steal territory from players in other countries and eliminate them.
This competitive online farming game has attracted over 200 million players worldwide.
More than 80% of them are players from other countries.
Although the world is at peace now, players from different countries still compete.
Moreover, the competition is quite fierce.
Although humanity no longer lacks resources, the position of the dominant power is still something to contend for.
The strength of a nation is reflected in the level of its Player Mark and the number of highly talented players.
The WorldSkills Competition held every September is incredibly exciting.
May Number One is the day for newlyweds to enter the competition, May Number Five is the National Competition, and September Number One is the WorldSkills Competition.
It's important to note that time in the game world and the real world are not synchronized.
Even if a hundred years pass in the game world, only an hour will pass in the real world.
Both the national competition and the world competition are divided into two parts.
One part is a dedicated game world for competitions provided by Game Mark, where players from different countries first compete to determine the winner.
The other part consists of real-world, offline, live-action PvP battles.
The real-person PK competition, which Ye Fei and his friends referred to as appearing on television, is...
National competitions are broadcast live nationwide, while World Championships are broadcast live worldwide.
The national and world competitions have similar processes, both divided into individual and team competitions.
Both individual and team competitions are further divided into arena battles and free-for-all battles.
A ring competition is a battle between individuals or teams.
As for the free-for-all mode, well, that's it!
Send individuals or teams into the same Map until the last person or team is eliminated.
Ling Yi had watched many videos of national and world championship competitions held over the years online, and they were all quite intense.
But whether it's a national competition or a world competition, people can die.
Although the world is at peace, people's hearts are not. There are always some crazy people who will resort to dirty tricks and cruelty, especially in the WorldSkills Competition, where teams from different countries meet, and the outcome is predictable.
Coincidentally, this year's WorldSkills Competition is being held in Amaileken.
Ling Yi will definitely participate in the WorldSkills Competition, but the prerequisite is that he has to get a ticket.
In other words, he needs to be among the top ten in the national competition four days later in the real world.
Let's get back to the main topic.
With the Fully Automatic Idle System in operation.
A large number of vegetable-stealing robots were redeemed.
Dressed in exoskeletons, armed with Charge in each hand, grenades at their waists, and Rocket launchers on their backs, they began invading other players' farms in pairs...
Light is a true level 10 pro player in Amaileken.
At 43 years old, he has participated in more than 2,000 games, Xiaoxiao.
He wasn't particularly talented, but he had played a lot of games and was very experienced, so he was familiar with almost all the game worlds.
Therefore, he was able to get a good high score in every game.
This Light is one of the WorldSkills seeded players every year in Amaileken, and also the Captain of the WorldSkills team in Amaileken.
Mature, steady, experienced, and never reckless.
Every year, they manage to achieve good rankings for Amailekan.
Although he had never played the "vegetable stealing" game before, as a pro player, after figuring out the basic rules, he began to make steady and methodical arrangements.
He planted tomatoes methodically, cleared land and bought seeds methodically, and after a day of development, his farm had reached level 2.
They had ten plots of land and three country dogs.
Instead of buying a bot to steal crops from other players, he first bought a farm dog for defense.
His strategy was successful, easily repelling the invasion of other players' farming bots.
"Six hundred more gold coins are needed to upgrade the farm to level 3."
Light looked at the Putao covering the entire farm and nodded in satisfaction.
"This game is so sloppy! Putao are fruit, not vegetables!" Light still had time to nitpick the game world's settings.
There's no way around it; he's just that kind of meticulous and rigorous person.
Putao are a relatively high-grade seed. Although their growth cycle takes four hours, the harvest is ten times that of tomatoes.
In half an hour, this batch of Putao will ripen, and then I'll have two thousand gold coins in my account.
Farm level 2 requires 1000 gold coins, and farm level 3 requires 2000 gold coins.
He had already saved 1,400 gold coins, meaning that after this harvest, he will have 1,400 gold coins left over.
This is already quite wealthy for most players.
He Light believes in taking a steady and methodical approach.
In his opinion, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he is confident that he will achieve a high score in this round of games.
"I wonder how that S8201 was upgraded; I hope it wasn't a player from the Ancient Country."
Light glanced at the small dot he had highlighted on the Dragon Radar and frowned.
" The Ancient Country has been rising rapidly in recent years, which is not a good thing. Fortunately, the WorldSkills Competition is being held in Amaileken, so we can take this opportunity to give the Ancient Country a good crackdown!"
"And then there's Yadali from German's side, with her S Grade talent, her advantage is too great. I just don't know if she dares to participate in the World Championship this time."
"If we participate, we must find a way to get rid of him; German under the Little Mustache is too dangerous."
That's right. In this world, the emergence of the Game Mark a hundred years ago meant that, although Little Mustache didn't successfully launch the war that would influence the entire world's trajectory.
But he successfully controlled German, and has maintained that control to this day, and the Little Mustache's ambition has never diminished in the slightest.
Today, German is under militarized management, and after so many years of development, German can be described as a place where everyone is a soldier.
If given the opportunity, the consequences will be unimaginable.
For the man with the Little Mustache, the appearance of Yadali was clearly an opportunity.
Amaileken fears the rise of the Ancient Country, but he fears even more that German will go mad.
He even suspected that the S8201 was German's Yadali.
Just as he was lost in thought, two enormous figures suddenly emerged from a spatial vortex.
"Oh my god, what is this?" Light stood up abruptly.
Vegetable-stealing robots? Exoskeletons? Charge, Rocket?
Is this some kind of farming game, or a war game?
When an enemy invaded, the three country dogs obeyed their duty and rushed forward, but before they could even get close, they were riddled with bullets and turned into a Masai.
Immediately afterwards, four dark gun barrels were pointed at Light.
"Oh, Water!" Light only had time to curse once before he was gone.
By the time he came to his senses, he had already been eliminated.
The Game Mark directly deducted one million game points from his account.
Fortunately, he wasn't short of points; after all, he had been playing for over twenty years, so he could still manage to accumulate some game points.
"S8201!" Light's eyes narrowed slightly.
He wasn't angry because he knew anger was useless. Maintaining a clear head at all times is one of the essential qualities of a Captain.
"It seems that S Grade talent is even more terrifying than I imagined."
Light clearly believed that S8201 was German's Yadali, and that the higher a player's gaming talent, the stronger their insight into the game.
Only S Grade talent could discern some of the game's hidden mechanics early on, thus gaining such a significant advantage.
He had seen players with A-level talent, but none of them reached this level.
Light, on the path of his own wild imagination, strayed far from the truth.
Ling Yi probably never expected that someone would carry a large iron pot to avoid the lightning strike for him.
