Beep beep~ The quest box started flashing again in the players' field of vision:

Wow.
Even Zhongde was taken aback by this task.
Upon closer examination, the sheer realism of " World of Disorder " results in a remarkably rich and engaging gameplay experience.
In most games, the twelve hours of online time per day would have been figured out long ago, with every task design and trigger condition already figured out. But in the World of Disorder, it's like a bottomless abyss, swallowing up half of their time each day without making them feel bored at all.
Now, large-scale, long-term quests based on in-game time have emerged, and [ Zhongde ] can't help but admire the development team's confidence in the game's quality.
After all, for many players, in-game time can be freely traveled and adjusted.
However, in " World of Disorder," they do not have this power to control time; they can only train little by little and grow stronger, just like in reality.
But what does it matter?
Filled with anticipation for the future, [ Zhongde ] accepted the task immediately after reading its description.
The other players reacted similarly, with new players showing great interest in the battlefield. In real life, people naturally hold war and battlefields in awe, but this is unnecessary when it comes to games.
At this moment, they were full of fighting spirit, and the debuff from the weeds under their feet was no longer a problem.
Meanwhile, the seeds lurking in the wilderness also told Ed something—
The knight with the silver spear and silver armor had arrived at the riverbank between Dragonborn Village and Midstream Village.
Because of Ed's recent level increase, and because Gray and the knights do not belong to a plant-based power system, they simply cannot discover Ed's arrangements in the wilderness like the carbonized bishop.
During the previous windy day, Ed had already Alienation some light seeds with downy hairs, sending these living derivatives flying around the castle.
Although these seeds cannot support his resurrection ability, they can act as an external camera for Little Green, transmitting more useful images in real time, just like now.
Huh?
Ed had been secretly observing everything, suddenly frowned. When he saw the knight arrive at the riverbank, he realized that he hadn't noticed how Gray's mobile fortress had crossed the river the day before.
The visibility was so low on that rainy night, and Ed's attention was entirely focused on defending against the otherworldly hacker attack, which is why this obvious suspicious point went completely unnoticed.
Ed thought to himself that he would definitely ask about it sometime in the future, and then he saw the knight ride his horse across the river...
The once calm river became slightly turbulent after a night of heavy rain, but the undulating waves under the horses' hooves were no different from the mounds on a normal road.
The knight and his horse even rocked up and down with the waves, but Ed didn't see any sign of them getting wet from beginning to end.
The rising river washed away logs from the Upperstream Village, but nothing could deter the knight crossing the river.
Dude... is this right?
Seeing that his opponent had easily crossed a river more than ten meters wide and of unknown depth, Ed suddenly became more interested in the system to which the opponent's power belonged.
Although the knight's abilities were strange and he was almost impossible to kill, Ed was able to roughly deduce his level and rank based on the previous battles.
To be fair, Ed felt that he, Gray, and the silver-armored knight were currently at roughly the same level, only their abilities had different focuses.
If a free-for-all were to break out right now, Ed wouldn't know who would survive between himself and the Knight, but it was almost certain that Gray would be the first to die.
Although he didn't know why this knight was heading west, Ed, as a guide who preferred to persuade with reason, felt that it was worth trying to reach out and win him over...
In the real world, inside a VIP ward of a hospital.
The middle-aged man in black looked at Professor Li, who was wearing a gaming helmet on the hospital bed, and nodded to his young assistant beside him.
One of the young men in black immediately reported:
"Current time 20:30, subject Li Yinhua's vital signs are stable, her physical condition is healthy, and no problems are observed except for common age-related diseases. We are preparing to begin the first external stimulation."
"Okay, let's record the data and begin."
The middle-aged man made way for him and began to observe with a serious expression.
He had already reported Professor Li's situation to his superiors yesterday, so their subsequent tasks were put on hold, and the details of the three-day experiment had been finalized.
Yesterday's experiment simply involved experiencing the game content and detecting vital signs. Today's experiment will explore the impact of external stimuli on players in the game. Tomorrow's final experiment will be a network-related test.
Professor Li has already signed an informed consent form regarding these matters, so there shouldn't be any issues.
But the middle-aged man in black felt that the other party's expression was too relaxed when signing, and he didn't know whether they had something to rely on or genuinely thought there was nothing wrong with the game.
"Let's begin the sound test."
The young man said something to the recording equipment, then pressed the play button on the keyboard. The speakers that had been placed by the bedside immediately began playing soft, soothing music, and the volume gradually increased.
The middle-aged man stared intently at the heart rate monitor, and soon he heard the part he had expected.
At a certain point in the music, heavy metal punk rock unexpectedly replaced the originally relaxing tune.
The volume had already been increased several times over the past three minutes, and it exploded with a powerful impact the moment it was replaced by crazy rock.
