While Qiu Yu is playing his own game independently, the steady flow of time is also driving the actions of others.
In an ocean that seemed to have no end, a being named Qian Xiao was anxiously spinning in circles on a ten by ten stone platform with a total area of just one hundred square meters.
If it were other times, he might have studied how the gravel mixed with soil under his feet floated on the sea. But in this almost desperate situation, besides venting his physical strength, he really couldn't
I don’t know how else I can struggle.
A few hours ago, when the supervisor was explaining the rules of the next game, an abnormality suddenly occurred. Not only did it suddenly disappear, but it also took Qiu Yu away with it.
Even without Li Ningfeng's irrational and terrifying intuition, Qian Xiao knew that the earth's civilization was in trouble again.
As for what kind of trouble there was... he didn't need to think about it. Almost at the same time that the supervisor and Qiu Yu disappeared, some kind of mechanized program replaced the disappeared supervisor and continued to play the rules of the game.
instructions and made it clear that the game continues as usual.
So, the next small part is to play the next game without Akiha.
In Qian Xiao's eyes, Qiu Yu's absence is a very serious problem, but compared with the problems that follow, it can only be regarded as a small part of the entire trouble.
The other half of the trouble is caused by Li Ningfeng, Sima Tianzhi and Ordoño. As for the reason, it lies in the rules of the game.
In the new game, the people of the earth's civilization are divided into four groups, and they are thrown into four scenes: forests, plains, mountains, and oceans. People in the four scenes must work together to win.
The forest has almost unlimited biological resources. People here are responsible for not being killed by various strange, powerful, or weird creatures, while standing firm, capturing the creatures here, and transporting them to several other scenes.
Human beings are the main force in the battle.
There are almost no resources here in the plain, but there are compressed and preserved "seeds" of various civilizations. They are a few centimeters in size. They do look like seeds in appearance, but they can be restored as long as they are activated with energy from the ocean.
It is the original item. The task of the people in the plains is to explore, collect these generator seeds, weapon seeds, food seeds, and even building seeds, and then send them to the other three urgently needed scenes. Of course, in the plain area
, it doesn’t mean that you just have to keep your head down and look for things. There are very few enemies, but once you encounter them, they are BOSS level.
The ocean has no place to stand except for the limited platform at your feet. And unlike the ordinary ocean, only energy-based creatures live here. These creatures will spontaneously attack the platform and everything on it, so for those on the platform,
For players, this is an endless defensive battle. The energy creatures eliminated during defense will become an almost universal energy source. It is also a universal "currency" for capture, activation, transmission, etc.
In the mountains, various civilizations are mixed and crowded. Hide and arm yourself with the resources obtained from the other three scenes, destroy all enemies and survive to the end. Players in the mountains can use energy from the ocean to dig into the mountains in cubic meters.
A safe hiding place is established. At the same time, the stones and metals excavated are also necessary resources for the ocean to expand the platform and to build defenses in the other two scenes.
Under the above rules, viewed separately, the forest is for hunting and cultivation games. The plains are for role-playing and horror games. The ocean is for tower defense and combat games. The mountains are for construction and survival games. But together, it is a strategy game.
.As long as one person carries out the overall planning and the others work together, the victory can be easily achieved.
In Qian Xiao's mind, the ideal situation is that Qiu Yu only needs to go to the mountains to hide and issue orders, and all the game participants of the earth's civilization will act according to the orders, and this game can almost be won.
Even if Qiu Yu is gone, Qian Xiao still has a certain degree of confidence in his commanding ability. Although the process may be a little harder, the chance of winning is quite high.
However, things are not that simple.
According to the basic rules of the game, there can only be four players on the initial stage, and the admission of other players needs to be exchanged for the energy obtained from the ocean.
As for the four people who appeared, they were the four people who contributed the most in the previous game that just ended.
After excluding Qiu Yu, these four people are Qian Xiao, Li Ningfeng, Sima Tianzhi and Ordoño.
As for Sima Tianzhi, since this game was brought about by his running around, he is definitely there.
Li Ningfeng is quite active.
As for Ordoño... God knows what he did to end up in front of Kyuubi.
Because Sima Tianzhi had already arrived in the forest, the scene he was assigned was naturally the forest, Li Ningfeng was assigned the mountains, Odonio was the plains, and Qian Xiao was the ocean.
Before the game officially started, the four people were transported to a void space to meet, which was regarded as a pre-war preparation meeting for the earth's civilization.
Qian Xiao took the command right for granted, but when he turned his attention to the three people in front of him, he suddenly realized a fact that made him collapse - none of the three people in front of him seemed to be easy to command.
"It seems that there is something wrong with the regulators, and I don't know how much time we have to communicate now, so I will try to keep it short. According to the current information, the forest is the top priority of this game, and I need the full cooperation of all three of you.
I will prioritize all resources in the forest. After I successfully conquer the forest scene, I will help you easily win games in other scenes. Before that, as long as you don't lose too quickly..."
This was the speech of Sima Tianzhi, who was as self-centered as ever, and for this reason, he ignored the game instructions and elevated the forest he was in to the core position that determines the success or failure of the game.
"hehe."
Ordoño's sneer fully expressed his attitude.
"Speaking of which, am I engaged in excavation? It feels very interesting. How about I dig a super luxurious underground palace?"
When others heard Li Ningfeng's words, they might think that he was trying to liven up the atmosphere. But for Qian Xiao who came to understand him, he was 100% sure that Li Ningfeng was truthfully expressing what he would do next.
"Listen to me, the current situation is very serious. We are shouldering the future of the entire human race. No matter what your plans are..."
Qian Xiaoxiao, out of righteousness, planned to rescue the three people again, but it had no effect at all.
Ordoño kept his standard sarcastic face and would only respond with a sneer no matter what anyone said.
Li Ningfeng had a slight smile on his face. No matter what anyone said, he listened quietly, but he didn't listen to a word.
At the moment when Qiu Yu was away, Sima Tianzhi seemed to have regained his mysterious self-confidence. He didn't care at all about other people's attitudes, and didn't consider the possibility of others disobeying him at all. He just arranged his weird strategies on his own.
It wasn't until the meeting ended and the four of them were thrown into their respective game scenes that Qian Xiao suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a small mistake - since no one was willing to cooperate with him, could he cooperate with Sima Tianzhi?
No matter how unreliable Sima Tianzhi is, having two people working together is much better than four people working independently.
But what is Sima Tianzhi’s plan? It seems that he didn’t listen at all...
Click——
The slight sound coming from his feet brought Qian Xiao's mind back to reality.
Qian Xiao, who was standing on the edge of the platform, lowered his head and saw a blue translucent strange fish struggling to bite the gravel that made up the platform.
Kicked out.
Because it was a subconscious action, he didn't use much strength, but he still kicked the somewhat scary-looking strange fish into a puff of flying blue light.
At the same time, a screen showing the number "1" appeared in the center of the platform.
"Does this gain some energy? The initial difficulty is within a reasonable range, and it should be able to develop gradually and stably."
Qian Xiao had just gained a correct understanding of this game, but in an instant, he was pulled into a trap by the news from his teammates that popped up in front of him.
——Emergency information, mountainous areas are in crisis, requesting a large amount of energy.
The resources in this game are not randomly distributed to each other, but demand messages can be sent between regions. For example, "the mountains need a little energy", "the plains need a little food", "the ocean needs basic weapons" and so on.
The game had just started a few minutes ago when Li Ningfeng broke out a piece of news. It was both urgent and massive. Qian Xiao was at a loss for a while. He couldn't tell whether it was because Li Ningfeng was just unlucky or because the mountainous terrain was much more difficult than here.
. Or maybe Li Ningfeng is out of his mind and posting random messages.
"asshole."
After a few seconds, Qian Xiao cursed lowly, turned his arm into a big net, stretched it into the water and started fishing for fish.
Doing so is likely to induce additional risks, but since Li Ningfeng made the request, Qian Xiao can only consider the worst-case scenario. A large amount of energy must be sent to Li Ningfeng as soon as possible to deal with the crisis.
——Urgent message, the plain area is in crisis, requesting a lot of energy.
The second piece of news that appeared in his mind made Qian Xiao's heart tense, and then he slowly relaxed.
It's okay to say that one scene is in a desperate situation at the beginning, but it would be too unreasonable if both scenes were like this. After all, this is a game of fair duel between civilizations, not a killing game. Therefore, if two emergency messages appear in a row, there will only be one
Maybe - the message was sent by two idiots.
——Urgent information, the forest area is in crisis, requesting a lot of energy.
The sudden appearance of the third message made Qian Xiao's breathing stop after he had just relaxed.
Sima Tianzhi, a man as proud as a god. For him, he will always only issue orders and instructions. Requests? Do these two words exist in his dictionary?
But this Sima Tianzhi actually used requests instead of needs... There was only one situation that could make him let go of his pride. That was... the one who was put on the other side of the balance of pride.
