The male host then changed the subject, "Recently, a phenomenon has sparked widespread thought and discussion: NPCs in games have shown great curiosity due to the characteristics of players, with different reactions on each newbie planet, such as the 'Chosen One' phenomenon, the Inhuman Phenomenon, and the 'Genius' phenomenon. This is both surprising and exciting, as if NPCs possess independent thought and are no longer as rigid as those in other games."
The female host said, "If we were to assign independent logical thinking to each NPC, the computational load would be terrifying. However, Galaxy uses the latest generation of quantum computers, and its performance limits are unknown."
The screen was flooded with comments, with viewers offering one guess after another. The NPCs' independent thinking and the freedom of interaction were almost indistinguishable from the real world, which was truly amazing.
The two hosts read from their scripts, summarizing the different phenomena on various planets, and only made some guesses during the program.
From a player's perspective, they can only know the attitude of the NPCs they come into contact with, and are unaware of the hidden reactions of each faction. However, Han Xiao knows that recently, almost all the intelligence on the Dark Net is about contact with Inhuman. The ever-increasing number of players has put pressure on the major factions.
All the major factions agree that if the number of Inhuman continues to grow unchecked, it will pose endless hidden dangers and have a disruptive impact on the existing power structure. However, they simply cannot find a way to curb the growth of Inhuman.
Fortunately, the Inhuman were weak and easy to control.
At this time, the major powers on Planet Aquamarine had not yet discovered the rapid growth of players. Before level 20, their combat power was still within the range of ordinary people.
Han Xiao shook his head helplessly, "Once the players reach higher levels, these factions will be completely bewildered."
The discussion about the Inhuman Phenomenon came to a close, and the male host said, "... We have invited the great Li Ge as our guest. Hello, great Li Ge."
Li Ge, the second-ranked player in Huaxia, appeared on camera, sitting between the hosts with a smile on his face.
The Galaxy Times often invites expert players for interviews to share information and opinions. The female host asked Li Ge what he thought about the Inhuman Phenomenon".
"I think this is part of the game's storyline, increasing the player's sense of immersion and realism. When I was playing, I often had the illusion that this was a real world. I think this is the experience the developers wanted to give us—the feeling of being a special part of the real world. Every experience is randomly generated, and there are very few identical events. It's novel and exciting. I'm very optimistic about the future of ' Galaxy '."
Male host. "Speaking of the game's future prospects, our station has obtained firsthand information that the International Esports Federation has confirmed that it will host the first professional league for ' Galaxy ' and will allow countries to hold secondary tournaments. What are your thoughts on this?"
"I guess I don't feel unemployed yet," Li Ge laughed. "Seriously, all the top esports teams from around the world have joined ' Galaxy,' so they'll definitely be preparing intensively. I think this will be a fierce battle, and I hope I can lead Huaxia to good results."
The barrage of comments became densely packed. The formation of the professional league excited the players, who knew it would be a grand event. At the same time, the barrage was also filled with comments from female fans such as "Li Ge is so handsome!" and "Husband, mwah!" (https://www. hetushu. com. com).
"With the tournament set up, professional players need to get ready! Do you have any experience you can share with us?"
Li Ge thought for a moment and said, "We professional players need to allocate our experience reasonably according to our abilities and improve suitable skills. We don't rush to level up; we need to be steady and familiar with our own operation at each level and hone our skills. So there are almost no professional players on the ranking list. Oh, there are a few in Japan, but as everyone knows, they care about their image." He made a small complaint.
"We professional players will seize every opportunity to grow. Recently, Black Phantom from our Planet Aquamarine has become quite famous. I think I'll try my luck... provided he returns to the Southern Continent." Li Ge helplessly.
The rest of the program consisted mostly of casual conversation.
After reading it, Han Xiao thought to himself, "With the professional league starting to be established, all the major clubs will be rushing to prepare, and my clients should increase."
Li Ge said he was also coming to find him. This was the second-ranked god in Huaxia. In his previous life, Han Xiao didn't even have the qualifications to come into contact with Li Ge.
Now, however, Han Xiao has the power to decide whether or not to make him his backup plan.
"Li Ge... we'll see then."
Frenzied Sword and Meat Bun Hits Dog were doing quests in Black Pine. Black Pine wasn't a place for their level, and the quests were difficult. But Frenzied Saber was a professional player after all, and his skill level was undeniable. Plus, he had the equipment sponsored by Han Xiao, so he was doing very well and was growing rapidly.
Through various quests at Black Pine, he acquired new equipment and skills, but these things could not fill the void in Frenzied Sword's heart; instead, they made him feel even more empty.
Thinking of Han Xiao, Frenzied Saber felt a surge of longing welling up inside him.
Only by following him can one grasp the true meaning of life; compared to that, the allure of Black Pine's missions is completely incomparable.
"When will he come back...?"
Frenzied Saber was filled with melancholy.
Outside the quarantine zone of Black Pine, Lü Cheng, looking surprised, said to Frenzied Sword, "To be honest, you surprised me. You successfully contained the plague."
Frenzied Sword were sullen. Meat Bun tugged at him, and he snapped out of his reverie, absentmindedly replying, "Oh."
At first, when Black Phantom left two people behind to help deal with the plague, Lü Cheng didn't take it seriously at all. But he soon discovered that these two people were really useful. Their ability to resurrect meant they were not afraid of infection and could do many things that researchers dared not do.
With the help of the two, the plague in the settlement was brought under control, mild cases were cured, and the number of people in the quarantine area decreased significantly.
Lü Cheng had always been amazed by the characteristics of the Inhuman, and he had the garrison in Green Valley Town study those "vagrants"... now called Inhuman. He contacted some friends from other factions and learned that the Inhuman Phenomenon was widespread throughout the world. As the Inhuman ' activities expanded, even the Six Nations could no longer hide it from the common people.
As players level up, they gradually expand their map from the starting village, and many people have left Green Valley Town, some of whom have come to Black Pine.
Using the method Han Xiao taught him, Lü Cheng tried to treat the Inhuman as mercenaries and was pleasantly surprised to find that Han Xiao had shown him a clear path.
"That... reward?" Meat Bun Hits Dog cheekily reminded the distracted Lü Cheng.
Frenzied Saber gave Meat Bun a disdainful look.
When doing tasks, he did almost everything by himself, while Meat Bun leisurely recorded the video on the side, acting like a big shot, and even had the nerve to ask for a reward.
Lü Cheng laughed and instructed his men to hand over the promised reward to the two men.
Counting the money and equipment he had acquired, Frenzied Saber diligently studied the attribute descriptions. With the professional league now established, he felt the pressure and devoted all his free time to researching combat techniques.
Meat Bun, casually browsing the forum, suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Black Phantom has made a new move; he can even issue main quests... Wait, why didn't he mention this to us? We triggered his hidden storyline, why didn't we get this treatment?"
Frenzied Saber's expression tightened, and he said in a deep voice, "When he returns, he will definitely give us the main quest as well."
"Where do you get your confidence from?" Meat Bun asked suspiciously.
"I..." Frenzied Saber stammered, feeling incredibly insecure, but he put on a resolute expression, trying to reassure himself, "I believe in him!"
