The once-famous hacker Long Tao has long since given up his career due to his age and joined related companies to exert his strength in the regular industry.
However, he couldn't take any time off after all, so he secretly joined a studio in a gray area part-time.
The main business of this studio in the past was to crack the scripts of some games and make profits by automatically hanging up to obtain items.
Therefore, Long Tao has carefully thought about his part-time job. Even if this studio is caught, it will only be a civil dispute at most, and he will not be allowed to enter because of the criminal law.
However, today, Long Tao received a rather special commission. The studio hired was not for online games, but for a stand-alone game.
"The employer is the well-known tycoon Thunder Hammer," the person in charge of the agency introduced. "He likes to spend huge amounts of money on the games he is interested in."
"Recently, he has become interested in "The Land Abandoned by Gods", so he wants to know what it is... Well, you should read the order instructions carefully."
"But I still want to say it. It is said that he hired more than just our studio. If someone ends up finding the destination first, we will only get a share of the hard-earned money."
When Long Tao heard the introduction from the intermediary, what he thought in his mind was that rich people are really stupid and have a lot of money. They actually need to hire someone for this. It is not just hiring a studio, but the money is not shabby, so Long Tao immediately started Get to work.
Long Tao is actually at work now, but Happy's superiors don't know much about coding. As long as he is typing code, they can't actually tell what he is typing.
Why was it that Long Tao was searching for the mysterious location announced by Shi Hai in the game, but instead of searching in the game, he was typing codes outside?
Because he fully understands his biggest shortcoming in this mission, which is that he has never been exposed to related works before, whether it is "The Forsaken Land" or "The Lord of Mysteries".
So in this case, don't expect him to start from scratch and then race against time with those studios to find the destination.
From the beginning, Long Tao's focus was on his coding experience. He wanted to find the location required for this bounty by analyzing the original game.
In fact, Long Tao's strategy is extremely correct. After all, although "Land Abandoned by Gods" is not difficult to get started, if he wants to master it, it is definitely not something he can solve in a short time.
However, the bounty announced by Thunder Hammer normally requires people who are proficient in the game to do it. Otherwise, it will be difficult for ordinary people to survive in the game, let alone go out frequently to explore.
Currently, many players who are live streaming "Land Abandoned by God" and want to find the rumored location have ended the game early because too many expedition teams have been sent out, resulting in a large loss of city-state forces here.
Countless eyes on the Internet are paying attention to this place. They want to know what the secret related to the land abandoned by the gods that Shi Hai said is exactly.
The first person to search for this secret was Long Tao, who found another way. He finally found the mysterious location by analyzing the game's code.
Of course, there are actually not a few people who have the same idea as Long Tao, whether they are studios with bounties on their heads or simple game enthusiasts.
It's a pity that their skills are not as strong as Long Tao's, and the time to do so is not as long as Long Tao's. You must know that the first moment Long Tao received the order, he gave up using normal game methods to find the location promised by Shi Hai.
So in the end, Long Tao was the first to lock down the relevant code, and then made a plug-in for this, and sent it to his employer, Thunder Hammer, in the name of the studio.
The reason why he wanted to make an external plug-in was because he had a greater ambition. Not only did he want to complete it 200%, he also wanted to complete the tasks assigned by the local tycoon Thunder Hammer.
After all, if the rich man is in a happy mood and gives Long Tao some extra tips from under his fingernails, wouldn't he be one step closer to realizing wealth and freedom as soon as possible?
Long Tao sent his code, only to hear a ding sound after half a day. Long Tao opened his personal CR and found that he could take his whole family on a fun trip this year. It must be said that the rich man is Bold and arrogant.
Long Tao, who was stunned by the extra reward, was very happy. Thunder Hammer, who found out that the task had been overfulfilled, was also very happy. He could live broadcast to find the mysterious location.
It is not unknown on the Internet that several players worked together on the same map to find the mysterious place Shi Hai mentioned.
But they have gained nothing so far. First, the duration is relatively short, and second, Thunder Hammer has discovered that even if the terrain is the same, the location will not be completely fixed.
But it's just not completely fixed, it's always near those places, so with the direction of the Thunder Hammer, it's much more efficient to find it.
After he memorized the approximate location of the map, he began to live broadcast his search journey, and then tried to search in a more likely direction on the pretext that the wind was blowing from one side to the other.
Of course there are flaws in this behavior. Why did you run in the same direction in the first place? Did you know this in advance? But Thunder Hammer is not worried about such doubts.
After all, he has signed a confidentiality agreement with Long Tao. As long as nothing happens to Long Tao, it will be fine. As for the questioning and scolding on the Internet, isn't black and red also a kind of red?
So by relying on this method, Thunder Hammer became the first player on the Internet to find the place mentioned by Shi Hai, which was the "Twilight Courtyard" that appeared in the original work.
When they saw the dusk courtyard in the distance, everyone from Thunder Hammer to the audience watching the live broadcast was excited for a moment, and immediately realized that this was the newly updated location.
This can be said to be very easy to judge, because in the entire game, since entering the complete dark age, this is the first time that light can be seen in the dark age, even though it is just a decaying dusk.
The electronically programmed AI in the game also made preset actions at this moment. They stretched their hands forward obsessively, as if they wanted to catch the sun.
It's a pity that Thunder Hammer only has money, and his technical level can only be said to be average. Moreover, because he was busy exploring, the level of the team was not very high, so he was not able to explore the secrets of the Dusk Courtyard.
It was not until a long time later that the game boss used a group of very high-level elite teams to finally break through the exterior of the Dusk Courtyard and begin to enter the interior of the courtyard.
However, the farthest he could see was a passage that switched between light and darkness, which meant that outside the passage was a normal cycle of time, with the day and night that everyone was familiar with.
It's a pity that even this game's great master couldn't defeat the gatekeeper of the passage. After all, he was an angel of sequence one, and "The Land Abandoned by God" did not open a promotion path for sequence three or above.
Therefore, players can only regretfully be stuck at this step. It was not until the "Lord of Mysteries" anime was broadcast that they learned the specific information about this dusk courtyard and the mysterious gatekeeper.
