The movements of Copernicus and Galileo are indeed beyond what ordinary players at level 18 can do. The two of them were walking on the flat ground, but they gave people the feeling of riding on the waves, just like the legendary "Qinggong".
From a game perspective, it is the overlapping effect of a large number of passive skills that creates an amazing effect.
The two mini-bosses that came through the mountains and forests are two deformed things. Their bodies are completely pieced together from corpse fragments, barely twisted into human shapes. Their appearance can be said to be disgusting and terrifying at the same time.
, but the strength can only be said to be average. Even if GM is excluded from the six people in this script, it is not difficult to pick one person to challenge such a small boss alone. Of course, there will be a certain price to pay.
The blade of the sword flashed with cold light, and the silhouette was as strong as a bowstring.
Copernicus and Galileo used the same weapons, and their fighting abilities were similar. Even their judgments at the moment when they drew their swords were the same. They knew the monster's data very clearly. They had no doubt that they could kill the monster in front of them with one move.
The enemy is beaten to half death, and the battle can be ended in three moves at most.
But... the moment they took action, things changed unexpectedly.
It's not that these two little bosses suddenly gained strength, but that they died suddenly... Only the person involved knew that these two monsters died inexplicably the moment before they were attacked. When the knife hit their bodies,
These two monsters have essentially become two corpses moving forward with inertia.
To use an analogy, it's like you see a vicious man rushing toward you with bricks in his hands, but the moment he rushes in front of you and attacks, he suddenly suffers a myocardial infarction and falls to the ground and dies.
However, only the two GMs knew about these things, and Feng Bujue didn't see the real situation. On the surface, this scene was... Galileo and Copernicus each took out a sword, and they were eliminated in a snap.
monster.
The three members of Order soon followed, and the Brave Invincible was the first to speak in surprise: "Are you kidding! You are indeed professionals, right?"
"Something is wrong...these two monsters were not killed by us." Galileo had already opened the GM menu to check as he spoke, and the look on his face suddenly became serious.
At this moment, the environment around the players also changed, and all illusions disappeared. The mountains and forests around them became very normal. Looking at the mountains, you can find that they are not far from the fields at the foot of the mountains.
.
Feng Bujue's reaction was very quick. He immediately said to Copernicus beside him: "Is the magic circle invalid?"
"Why do you ask me...how do I know..." Copernicus didn't finish his words.
Feng Bujue interrupted again: "Why did it fail?"
"So... why are you asking me?" Copernicus replied unhappily.
"Because you are an expert in investigation." Feng Bujue replied confidently.
"In your mind, the term 'investigation expertise'..." Copernicus' mouth twitched: "Is it equated with 'knowing everything'?"
"If you want to say that, I can only ask another way." Feng Bujue's expression and temperament changed drastically at this moment. His eyes seemed to say, this is the end of the pretentious game.
That's it.
With a fanatical light in his eyes and a calm and confident expression on his face, Feng Bujue asked very directly: "Is this done by a derivative?"
"Pfft..." Meng Jingchan spit out a mouthful of beer at that moment.
There is information about the derivatives within the order... but it is very little. Apart from the existence of the derivatives, the few contacts did not provide much substantive information.
Ye Zhi and Brave Invincible's level in the studio is not high enough. It is the first time for them to hear this term, but players of Meng Jingchan's level have relatively high permissions to browse game information in the company, so he is
Yes. Of course. The information he knew was just this sentence: "In a team survival mode script with six people, there is a slim chance of encountering an uncontrollable data called a derivative." About derivatives
Characteristics of the actor, the GM’s intervention when the script was generated, and the GM’s abilities, etc... There is no relevant information on the order.
There are only two relatively reliable records of encounters with derivatives in the Order. The first time was when a six-man team in the club reported to their superiors that they had encountered a scripted humanoid creature that called itself a "derivative" and had astonishing abilities.
The strength and intelligence are far beyond those of ordinary script bosses, and have nothing to do with the script itself; the second time, it was also a six-person team, the situation was similar, the person involved claimed that the team was destroyed by a joint attack by the derivatives and the boss. In the first time, the team was destroyed.
During the brief verbal exchange between a six-man team and the "derivatives", Order obtained the little bit of information currently available to him, which was listed as extremely high-level information and included in the database.
The reason why Meng Jingchan was so frightened at this time was mainly because...the words "derivative" actually came out of the mouth of this guy named "Crazy Bujue". Could it be that the name "Hell Front" was unknown
The society has intelligence gathering and analysis capabilities comparable to those of the Order? How many members do they have? How professional are these members?
The expressions of Copernicus and Galileo were not to mention wonderful, even Meng Jingzen looked like that. You can imagine how they would react as GMs.
"What are you talking about..." Galileo seemed to be holding on to a sense of luck, trying to pretend to be stupid and get through.
"Do you want me to be more clear?" Feng Bujue said: "Brothers, please open your GM menu and help me see if the sudden failure of the magic circle near us is related to the derivatives."
The three people from Order looked at Copernicus and Galileo as if they were monsters, and then looked at Feng Bujue as if they were super monsters. The amount of information in these sentences was too great, and the current atmosphere was quite tense.
, making it difficult for them to express their opinions for a while.
The two GMs looked at each other and exchanged glances. Galileo then smiled, looked at Feng Bujue and said, "The script will be finished in a moment. You have to talk to our superiors."
"Let's talk about the situation at hand first." Feng Bujue said: "When the illusion disappeared just now, I used [Victory of Thousand Miles] to take a look again..." Anyway, the GM also knew what skills the player had. He pointed it out and said: "
It doesn't show anything." He paused and asked: "Can I judge from this that the derivatives have solved the boss?"
Galileo replied: "The Well of Resentment still exists, but it has lost its power. The same is true for the other three magic circles on the mountain. Just now, they lost their power at the same time."
"At the same time?" Feng Bujue answered. He thought for a few seconds and then said: "Apart from the fact that the four derivatives in the script have discussed the possibility of acting together, the problem probably lies in the 'source of power'."
Copernicus said: "In order to cut off the source of power of the Well of Resentment, apart from destroying the magic circles everywhere, there are indeed other ways... That method is not so much 'cutting off' as it is 'destroying'."
Galileo continued: "According to the flag-related information column... there is a real boss in this script, called Vailu. He is not on this map, and we cannot see his specific data. What is known is...
When there are less than three magic circles to be broken, jump into the Well of Resentment and you will encounter this boss. I guess the derivatives went to the world on the other side of the Well of Resentment and got rid of the boss, causing all the people on our side to
The magic circle has lost its power from its origin." When he said this, he had already figured out the previous question - why the coordinates of the derivative would disappear and appear. The reason was that the derivative entered.
The world on the other side.
"Well...then the question comes..." Feng Bujue said: "Why haven't we cleared the level at this moment?"
"This..." Galileo really didn't know.
Copernicus said: "I suspect it is a problem with the main mission. The current content of the main mission is still 'enter the mountains and find the abandoned shrine.' Perhaps it is because we have not yet triggered the next flag, which has led to this situation."
It means that he is talking while checking the GM menu: "Successfully destroy any one of the three magic circles in the mountain, and the main mission will be updated to 'Destroy the four soul-grabbing arrays and seal the power of the Well of Resentment'; and directly encounter
The real boss will update the mission to 'Destroy Wailu'. But now... we haven't triggered any of them yet. All the magic circles have lost their power."
"So that the main quest is stuck at the first step, right..." Feng Bujue mused: "Interesting... If this inference is correct, even the real boss has died now, then there is nothing in the script that can change the main quest.
The mission progress flag, how should we clear the level?"
"Since you seem to know a lot of things." Copernicus said, "Why don't you all just explain yourself." He turned to look at the three people in the order at the same time: "Please just exit the script, four of you.
.”
"What?" Brave Invincible replied: "The three of you talked to yourself and said something incomprehensible, and then asked us to quit? Quitting midway will result in a time penalty for not being able to queue, and there will be no rewards.
, for us, this loss is worse than the destruction of the group!"
"I'm sorry, judging from the current situation, this script is already a bug and cannot meet the clearance conditions." Galileo replied: "As this crazy gentleman said, the main mission has been stuck, and there is nothing we can do."
Feng Bujue seemed to be afraid that Brave Invincible would not understand, so he added: "This is just like when Li Xiaoyao just left Yuhang Town, the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult was killed by an alien passing by the earth with an anti-matter weapon. Even if you
If you keep playing, you won't be able to pass the level."
Copernicus continued: "We still have work to do, which is to deal with the derivatives. If you stay, even if you are not killed by the derivatives, it will still be a waste of time. In the end, you will be able to withdraw on your own." He also
Knowing that it was no longer possible to deceive the matter into the player's human responsibility, he followed the company's emergency response and said: "As for your loss of game time, since it was caused by system reasons, the company will definitely compensate you. We have taken care of it."
Regarding this script, I will report the situation to my superiors. The relevant personnel will contact you later and give you a solution. I think you will definitely get a satisfactory result."
Ye Zhi asked at this time: "Since you are GM, can you explain to us now what exactly is a derivative?"
"Well... I'm sorry, we have no right to disclose this." Galileo replied.
Ye Zhi's next reaction was very similar to the method Feng Bujue used against Pan Fenghuaxiong: "You should know that we are people of order." She said aggressively: "With the credibility of our studio, if what happened today is caused by
We published it on the official website and exposed it..."
"This is also your freedom." Galileo replied confidently: "The company will respond and explain accordingly." He said this with confidence. In fact, it was because... the script of the encounter between Pan Fenghuaxiong and Feng Bujue
Afterwards, the superiors immediately drafted a new regulation based on the records they reported. If GM's identity is revealed and he is threatened, GM's response must be in accordance with a standard procedure. Faced with Ye Zhi's
Just answer this sentence like this.
In fact, the matter of the spin-offs has already been exposed, but none of the four players present, including the major studios, knew about it...
In fact, as early as the two days between the closed beta and the public beta, someone had already posted a post about "derivatives" on the forum, but it was quickly submerged in the sea of posts. This matter, even "a small one"
The "weird game rumors" circulated among some players cannot even be called "weird stories about games". Obviously, today's players, or people these days, will hardly believe anything. Who can we blame? Can we blame the News Network? Haha...
…
"Hmph...since you said so..." Ye Zhi wanted to say something else.
Meng Jingchan waved his hand, signaling her to stop, and said: "Ye Zhi, there is no point in speaking harshly." He suddenly revealed a majestic aura and said to Copernicus and Galileo seriously.
: "Please rest assured. Here, I can guarantee you that Order will not spread any news about GM and its derivatives to the outside world." His thinking is very clear. The fewer people who know about information, the more valuable it is.
.
"But..." Meng Jingchan changed the topic: "At this moment, it is our player's freedom whether to exit the script or not."
Galileo understood something from his words: "Well...if you want to have contact with the derivatives, we won't stop you."
Copernicus shrugged and smiled: "I would like to kindly remind you that the strength and aggressiveness of the derivatives are far stronger than any script boss you have ever seen. When you are killed, don't marvel at the other party's quick hands."
"They just want to collect as much information as possible. Besides, if they are killed, there will be no penalty for quitting." Feng Bujue interrupted at this time: "By the way, I also want to meet this person.
Derivatives.”
"You also want to collect information, right?" Meng Jingchan turned his gaze to Feng Bujue's face and asked in a deep voice.
"I'm just a casual player, I don't have as many burdens as you." Feng Bujue replied: "I'm just acting out of interest." The words coming out of his mouth were quite believable: "Because this derivative
Otherwise, I can no longer get any reward, I at least have the right to see what the culprit looks like."
The only derivative that Feng Bujue has ever seen is x-23. He does not expect to meet her again. Judging from the situation of derivatives, 23 may have been destroyed long ago and he will not meet her again.
The probability is basically zero, so Feng Bujue believes that the person in this script should be an unfamiliar fourth-level derivative.
His curiosity is very strong. It is a rare opportunity to get in touch with other derivatives. Feng Bujue naturally wants to know more about this group of special AI entities and communicate with other individuals among them. It can also be used as a
Refer to it to see what the differences are between the derivatives, and whether they have unique personalities and even ideas like intelligent life in reality.
"That's up to you." Galileo said, "But I have something to say beforehand. Our goal is to eliminate the derivatives, 'kill' them and turn them into data fragments. No matter what situation we encounter, we will do this
The premise is the top priority. If you want to watch and collect intelligence, you can. If you want to help, we also welcome it. But please don't do anything to hinder us."
The three members of Order all agreed, but Feng Bujue remained silent. After more than ten seconds, he suddenly said: "There is one more thing I want to confirm...are you two...unable to obtain the protagonist's halo?"
Galileo hesitated for a moment and replied: "Yes... uh... why do you even know such a thing?"
"Don't look at me with that expression. I basically relied on guessing... Counting the one at the beginning of the script, the random transfer of the protagonist's aura happened three times in total, twice for Invincible Brother and once for Ye Zhi." Feng
Unconsciously replied: "And the orientation transfer also happened three times...one time for Invincible brother, and two times for me." He glanced at Meng Jingchan: "No one has ever obtained the protagonist's halo, except for you two GMs,
There is only Brother Zen.
In the synopsis of the plot, regarding the setting of the halo, the word 'player' is mentioned many times. The only one that is not mentioned is the sentence 'when the number of people in the team is less than or equal to two, the halo of the protagonist disappears'. Confirmed that you are
After GM, I was thinking that if the system did not regard you as 'players', then the emergence of this halo setting would be very reasonable."
"You mean... if there are no spin-offs and GMs in this script, and it's just an ordinary team survival map, the system won't add the setting of the protagonist's halo?" Ye Zhi followed his idea.
"At least that's what I think." Feng Bujue replied: "The protagonist's halo is a kind of protection provided by the system based on the difficulty of the script and the actual situation. Since it is an effect created by the system, even if the players are teleported,
As long as the script is not closed, it will continue to exist.
Normally, if the level can be successfully passed and four players leave, the remaining two will definitely be the GM. If the halo still exists, it will be very unfair to the derivatives, so we simply set it so that no matter what the situation is,
You can’t get the halo even under GM..."
"What are you talking about? Why does the system want the battle between us and the derivatives to be relatively fair?" Copernicus said: "Have you watched too many science fiction movies? The optical brain does not have autonomous consciousness. Besides, even if it does, the system
Why give a set of junk data that needs to be destroyed a chance to survive?”
Feng Bujue sneered and thought to himself: "I wish I knew... Maybe one of your senior officials or a group of perverts deliberately designed the system like this."
"Hmm... maybe I'm overthinking it." Feng Bujue replied calmly, "Let's go up the mountain first. I'll find the Well of Resentment and find the derivatives."
