Chapter 1186 Hidden announcement, giant chain of suspicion!
But that's not the worst part.
The most annoying thing is that not only are there a lot of NPCs to find in this event, but they can also move around at any time, and the format of NPC names is not uniform, and some even have symbols!
Some players with quick thinking have guessed at this time that according to the set of rules formulated by Qiancheng, when the event starts later, the entire Bianliang City will probably fall into chaos.
Although the rewards of the activity itself are very generous, it is inevitable that some people will make trouble in order to satisfy their own evil taste.
Once someone opens a small account according to the couplet and pretends to be someone else, it will inevitably affect the progress of everyone's search for NPCs, and even a simple one may be deceived.
"That's so cruel, Brother Cheng. The rules are formulated so as not to leave anyone with the slightest loophole..."
"The IDs are not uniform, and they also have symbols. Key NPCs will move randomly. If we keep going like this, can anyone really complete the collection in one day?"
"That's right, this hide-and-seek thing Brother Cheng is doing is a bit too difficult!"
"If you like to play, don't play! There are so many people in the district. If the rules are not formulated more comprehensively, wouldn't it allow those who like to take advantage of loopholes to take advantage?"
"That's right, we'll have to wait and see whether we can find him or not. At least we have to ensure that the initial stage is fair. I fully support Brother Cheng on this point!"
"Me too!"
Looking at the World Channel, which was already engulfed in heated debates following the announcement of National Hide and Seek, Fang Yun didn't care, or he had expected it.
This time the rules of hide and seek are indeed more complicated than last year, but there is nothing we can do about it.
You must know that this hide and seek is facing players from all over Bianliang City. If all possible cheating methods are not blocked in advance, this hide and seek will definitely become a game for a few people, and other players can only be reduced to foils.
Ignoring the quarreling world channel, Fang Yun paused for a moment, then continued to post a message on the world channel.
[World] Qiancheng: "Okay, I have told you all about the rules and rewards of this national hide and seek. Next, I will announce the couplet of this hide and seek, as well as some clues about the hidden mission!"
"Stop arguing, stop arguing, the important point is coming, hurry up and take notes!"
"I was very interested in the couplets at first, but now I'm more interested in the hidden tasks."
"Since it is a hidden mission, it will definitely be very difficult. This panda is not easy to get..."
"It sounds like the four red babies are easy to get."
As Qiancheng spoke to the world again, the attention of the originally noisy Bianliang City players was immediately attracted. They stopped arguing one by one and began to speculate on what this so-called hidden mission would be like.
With the anticipation of countless players, I saw Qiancheng speak to the world after a moment: "First of all, announce the couplets for this National Hide and Seek! The first couplet is: "Welcome the New Year and the beautiful scenery of the country", and the second couplet is: "Farewell to the old year"
It's going to be brilliant!"
"good!"
"Don't tell me, Brother Cheng is really good at this joint selection."
"I dare not say anything else, but if Brother Zhaocheng keeps doing this, I am afraid that Bianliang City will really have a 'brilliant event' this year..."
"Welcome the new year with beautiful scenery, bid farewell to the old year with great prosperity... It really is fourteen words."
"The couplet is indeed good, but why do I always feel like something is missing?"
With the official announcement of the National Hide and Seek League, some players have immediately set off to find NPCs, but most players are not in a hurry. Instead, they praise Qiancheng for his cleverness in the league selection while waiting for his follow-up details.
Clues to hidden missions.
And Fang Yun did not keep everyone waiting. After announcing the couplet, he immediately said: "As for the hidden task, it is actually very simple, it is the horizontal comment of this couplet!"
"???"
"Sure enough! Let me just say there is something missing!"
"What the hell? Why don't I understand?"
"Stupid! Doesn't Brother Cheng obviously mean to let us find the horizontal version of this couplet by ourselves? Whoever can find the panda belongs to him!"
"No...it's okay to find Hengpi, but you have to give me some tips, right?"
"Is there a possibility that Brother Cheng has already given you a hint?"
"What the heck! Originally, I thought this activity would finally eliminate the need to use my brain, but now it seems that it still requires a lot of brain cells!"
Knowing that this novel and mysterious hidden mission turned out to be a cross-section of the couplet just now, many players were stunned on the spot and didn't understand what he meant for a while.
There were some smart people who had vaguely guessed what Qian Cheng was thinking, but before they could confirm it, they saw Qian Cheng adding to the world again.
[World] Qiancheng: "As everyone has guessed, the hidden task of this hide-and-seek is to find the horizontal strip of the couplet just now. There is no prompt for this horizontal strip. You need to understand and find it by yourself from the upper and lower couplets just now. Chapter 1
A player who has found everything can contact me through YY. Once confirmed, the super giant panda will be yours!"
"……really!"
"Oh my god! Hengpi without warning, Brother Cheng, are you serious?"
"Find and understand through the upper and lower couplets... Brother Cheng, I think you are making things difficult for us illiterate people."
"I think it's quite exciting. Since it's a hidden mission, of course it has to be something different. Without further ado, I'm going to find Hengpi now!"
"I'll go too! There are only four words left and right in the horizontal comment. If it's a big deal, it will be hard to say!"
It was confirmed that this hide-and-seek hidden mission was officially to find the unknown Hengbiao, and the world channel in Bianliang City was filled with mourning in an instant.
Many players originally thought that the biggest difficulty in today's hide-and-seek was the fourteen moving NPCs in the upper and lower links. However, after the specific content of the hidden mission was announced, they discovered that the difficulty of the upper and lower links was not even as difficult as the hidden mission!
The only thing that made them feel better was that compared to the upper and lower couplets of the fourteen NPCs, the banner could only have four words at most according to the specifications. In other words, as long as they could guess the specific content of the banner, it would actually be easier to find than the upper and lower couplets.
There are many fast connections.
Looking at the wailing World Channel, Fang Yun smiled and finally typed: "Okay, the full content of this National Hide and Seek and the winning conditions have been announced. Next, I wish you all good luck!"
Having said that, Fang Yun no longer paid attention to the world, but immediately switched to YY, exchanged a few words with the beast masters in charge of this hide-and-seek activity, and then controlled the NPC trumpets they were responsible for to run towards the hidden corners of the dream map.
go.
At the same time, when the players who were originally wailing on the world channel saw Qian Cheng's words, they realized that the end was done, so they stopped talking nonsense and quickly devoted themselves to the task of finding NPCs.
Since the event has just started, players in Bianliang City can be said to be at their most enthusiastic at this time. Players are looking for it on almost every map that can be reached in Fantasy Westward Journey.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what does liveliness mean? This is liveliness!"
At this time, Beast Master was hanging on his private YY channel with Sujiu Fang Yun and others. He couldn't help but smacked his lips and sighed as he looked at the players all over the world who were yelling and running around frantically looking for NPCs.
After these three days of activities, his biggest feeling was that he was tired, very tired.
But at the same time he was tired, he felt as if he had been pumped. For three days in a row, he was even more excited than the chief planner Fang Yun. He rushed to do any task, which was simply compared to his previous lazy appearance.
They are completely different.
The biggest reason why there is such a big gap between his performance before and after is that the activities held by Fang Yun in the past few days are so novel and interesting that when he is unable to participate, he can only participate indirectly by serving as a behind-the-scenes person.
in.
In fact, not only him, but also Sujiu Huang He and others had similar thoughts.
Huang He even made a suggestion yesterday, saying that if Fang Yun plans to hold a Spring Festival party next year, can he not tell them in advance? It is best to treat them as passers-by, so that they can also participate in these exciting and lively events.
activities.
Of course, Fang Yun flatly rejected Huang He's proposal. He couldn't handle such a large-scale event involving an entire server alone, and he couldn't trust outsiders, so the only way was to use his own people.
Therefore, no matter how much Beast Master and the others covet these activities, Fang Yun cannot agree to their request. At most, he will agree to give everyone a share of the hard-earned money after the Spring Festival party is over.
And just when Fang Yun and the others were chatting and controlling active NPCs waiting for players to check in, a message suddenly appeared on the world channel.
[World] Feng Liu Lao Jiu: "Damn it, I just happened to find an NPC. But when that guy saw me, he ran away and couldn't catch up with me in the end. What a pity!"
[World] Liuli: "Real or fake #glare? I haven't met one until now. Where did you meet one?"
[World] Zuimeng Jiangshan: "[Fengliu Laojiu] Are you really sick? How many times have I told you that I am not an NPC, can you please stop pestering me? # fierce"
[World] Gravity: "Damn it, buddy, your ID...could it be an NPC pretending to be a real person?"
[World] Zuimeng Jiangshan: "I pretend to be you @#%@#..."
Seeing the chaos caused by a player named "Drunken Dream Jiangshan" on the World Channel, Fang Yun and others who were trying to catch a fish were almost dumbfounded.
Is this okay?
I have to say that this player ID named Zuimeng Jiangshan is so suitable for the occasion. Who asked Fang Yun to write the first couplet of "Welcome the New Year and the Splendid Rivers and Mountains"? He directly took up the two characters "Jiangshan" and couldn't help others.
Lenovo.
But after coming back to his senses, Fang Yun felt a little bit dumbfounded.
By the way, didn't these guys listen carefully to his description of the rules? Each active NPC would only contain one word from the couplet. Although this Zuimengjiangshan ID was suitable for the occasion, it was obviously impossible to be an NPC.
The farce in the world is still going on, but Fang Yun has no time to eat.
At this moment, in front of his NPC trumpet appeared a Xuan Cai'e holding Canghai and dressed in black fruits.
Xuan Cai'e's ID was "Meow Meow", which made Fang Yun not sure whether she was a girl or a burly guy.
But obviously this is not the point. The point is that his NPC trumpet is in the deepest part of the sunken ship, in the room of the businessman ghost known as the Mengxin Dream Demon!
Bianliang City is an old district that has been in service for several years. It doesn't take much to think about the traffic flow of Shipwreck. It will definitely not be much.
Although occasionally a large player will come to take care of a small player, but overall, the current Bianliang City Shipwreck is an unpopular map, and most players will never think of this place unless they encounter special circumstances.
Before he meowed and entered the house, Fang Yun had actually met several groups of trumpets.
But those alts without exception did not notice him. After all, Fang Yun, the NPC himself, is a primitive dye, and the weapon in his hand is just a bronze axe. Anyone who sees it can immediately understand that this is an uncompromising character.
Small size without buckle.
Those trumpets obviously thought so too, so after entering the house, they basically completed the task quickly, and then left gracefully, not taking this cute little tiger to heart at all.
Fang Yun was very satisfied with the reaction of these alts. He even thought about it later, if no one found him, should he stay here forever, or move to a more obvious place to help reduce the difficulty for those unlucky people.
Woolen cloth?
But he never thought that before he could think about what to do, Xuan Cai'e named Meow Meowie actually walked in.
He came to Fang Yun's trumpet with some hesitation. Looking at the troll king standing quietly and motionless in front of him, with the ID of 'Doing twice the result with half the effort', he meowed as if he was a little unsure. He didn't know for a long time.
Say something.
The other party didn't say anything, and Fang Yun naturally didn't make a sound either. The two of them just stared at each other in silence for half a minute, meowed before they couldn't help but typed in front of them and asked: "Um...excuse me...you
Is he one of the NPCs in this hide-and-seek game?"
"I am."
Faced with the other party's inquiry, Fang Yun curled his lips and immediately typed a response. However, the language was extremely concise and looked like an AI.
But who knows, maybe because he answered too decisively, he seemed a little unconvinced and asked again: "Then... do you have evidence to prove your identity?"
Seeing that the other party actually wanted him to get the evidence, Fang Yun was almost amused and typed back directly: "Sorry, no."
As soon as he said these four words, he meowed and immediately stopped questioning.
She realized that her question just now was a little too much.
After thinking about it, considering that there were still a bunch of NPCs waiting for me to find them, I didn’t dare to chat with this NPC all the time, so I didn’t ask any more questions and just thought of catching big fish and small fish together.
After finishing checking in and taking photos with Fang Yun's NPC account, he left in a hurry.
Watching the other party's leaving figure, Fang Yun picked up the cup and took a sip of water, but a smile appeared on his face.
What he wants is actually this effect.
A simple hide-and-seek activity is too simple in his opinion. With the player base in Bianliang City, if the rules from last year continue to be followed, I am afraid that within half an hour, a bunch of his trumpets will be turned upside down.
And if he doesn't want the game to end so quickly, Fang Yun needs to rack his brains to set up various obstacles for the players.
After pondering for a long time, Fang Yun finally came up with a somewhat damaging method, which was to use the rules to create a 'suspicious chain' involving all players in the server, causing them to collectively fall into an environment of mutual doubt, thus greatly delaying their efforts to find out.
