"what is that?"
These two people were not the only ones to discover this strange situation. After a period of immersion, this group of players have regarded the novice village of Yuen Long Island as a rare online habitat for themselves.
There are no endless commissions to complete every day, no need to worry about money (not at all, just supplies), and no need to worry about being discovered by others for your strange behavior and being killed in society.
Invisibly, Yuen Long Island, a novice village, has become an important channel for players to vent their dissatisfaction with reality.
And this also makes the immersion that Mutian Group has always emphasized the most perfect embodiment.
They really thought they were stranded on a desert island, fighting for survival.
Of course, that doesn't mean that players want to stay in Novice Village and never go anywhere.
On the contrary, after experiencing the reality and immersion of this game world, players are even more eager for the world outside the island.
If it weren’t for the inability to cross the sea (the game is set so that you cannot enter the sea with bare hands before reaching a certain level, otherwise you will only drown or be eaten by unknown sea monsters and reborn), it is estimated that a mere island cannot stop it. Players explore the heart of a large map.
There have even been attempts.
They cut down a large number of trees and tried to build a floating wooden bridge leading inland.
You must know that there is no shortage of talents in various industries among the player group. Soon some players calculated based on the sun above their heads and the laws of tides that this novice island was no more than a hundred nautical miles away from the nearest inland.
So there was a plan to build a floating wooden bridge directly inland.
Not surprisingly, they failed.
Although the players are full of clever tricks, how could the official leave such a loophole for players to take advantage of?
Initially their idea was to make a raft.
The production process went smoothly, except for a few guys who couldn't make it manually. It was not easy for a group of players with various special skills to make a raft.
Soon, the first warrior stepped onto the raft and set off.
When he carefully stepped onto the raft and successfully left the shore with a strong push from a bamboo pole, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
It is not that no players have guessed that the official will design various problems to prevent players from leaving the novice island (because otherwise, the hidden tasks will be meaningless).
It turns out that this worry was unnecessary.
Officials obviously considered the limits of what humans (human beings with special abilities) can do.
What he has to do is to prevent this self-set framework from being broken.
So there were many good swimmers for many years who lost their footing and fell into the sea and drowned, and the main force who won the dragon boat championship every year pushed himself into the sea with a pole, and was finally picked up by some unknown monster in the sea. No bones were left, etc. It sounds like An appalling, yet perfectly reasonable follow-up.
After several rounds of attempts, there was no gain except sending away a bunch of players and returning to the game again.
Several players responsible for observation were not able to find any pattern to break through the blockade.
But players will not give up just yet.
It's all a novice village anyway, you just have to come back after you die.
So there were all kinds of imaginative and incredible attempts.
Of course, there's nothing groundbreaking beyond giving more players a whole week of nothing.
This farce only stopped when someone noticed that the light similar to the hidden mission was on.
Almost everyone put down what they were doing and ran towards the bright light. The scene was no different from office workers catching the subway during the morning rush hour, which also showed how immersive this game was.
"Let's go, what are you thinking about?"
Day and night, I glanced at the moon, which was not moving but was bowing its head in thought, and gave me a reminder.
"I was wondering if this light came on when the players were still in activity time. Is there anything wrong?"
"How to say?"
Hearing this day and night, he didn't rush there in a hurry. He was just a casual player. Like most people, he just wanted to find a quiet place to escape reality and didn't want to compete for the first place.
Although according to the skills he randomly received, there is indeed a good chance.
"Don't you know? These lights representing hidden tasks light up regularly. They usually appear late at night after most players go offline, or even early in the morning, which is when people are most sleepy."
After a pause, the moon continued.
"This is also very reasonable. After all, the purpose of the hidden mission is to select a few people from among tens of thousands of people to complete it. And I found that this should be the most important feature when examining adventure games."
"Characteristic? Characteristic of staying up late?"
Day and Night asked confused.
Moon shook her head.
"No, it's luck."
"ha?"
"Yes, this is very reasonable. For the same player, you may be inferior to him in everything. Your level of equipment, including operating techniques, and even your IQ will be crushed."
Having said this, Yue Yue subconsciously glanced at the day and night that stared blankly at her, and sighed slightly as she thought of her hard work over the past week.
"But his luck is better than yours. Playing the same dungeon, if you open ZLS three times, he will get a phoenix egg as soon as he touches it. He has graduated for a long time, and you are still working hard every day... How can this be justified? "
There was an expression of "you're not talking about me" for a moment, and then he saw the moon's eyes looking at him change from the sour taste at the beginning to an expression called surprise.
Well?
By the time he reacted, Guzmanster was already standing in front of him.
The moon on the side has already reacted.
His reaction was to hold his forehead and sigh.
"I knew you were really lucky! You could see it from the very beginning with your random skills!"
"What are you talking about?"
Guzmanster, who appeared with the light representing the hidden mission, did not receive the expected scorching eyes from the players, but rather a strange reaction.
A goose-like guy looked at him blankly.
And the guy next to him who looked very shrewd sighed.
This made Guzmanster, who was originally very ambitious, suddenly confused.
What is this development?
Aren’t these two players?
Why is there such a strange reaction that only NPCs have?
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to complete his mission first.
After clearing his throat and trying to sound as serious as possible, Guzmanster spoke.
"Warriors, I'm here to take you to the New World. You, uh... let me see, don't you understand the darkness of night during the day?"
"exist!"
Although I don't know why this guy who is obviously a player made such a pretentious move, he still subconsciously answered the question during the day.
Just like when the supervisor issues a commission...
"It's not like I'm at work. What's the answer? Ahem, come with me now."
As he said that, Guzmanster stretched out a hand towards Hei, who knew nothing about day and night.
"Huh? Where to go?"
Mud, why did I meet such a silly goose?
Guzmanster cursed secretly in his mind and had to pretend to be serious at the same time. After repeating the contents of the entrusted task, he looked at the other party with earnest eyes and extended his hand again.
"Come on, fight with me to maintain the peace of Flotte Continent, warrior!"
Bai Tian looked at this guy who came out of the light and was also a player, then looked at the moon with a thoughtful look on his face, and said something.
"Okay, but I have a question."
"What's the problem? Dear brave man."
Guzmeister tried his best to keep a smile on his face.
"Can you take both of us with you?"
"Can't."
"Why?"
"Because I can only take one at a time. Can you leave? Or I can take him away."
Guzmanster, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally couldn't pretend anymore.
Stop pretending, labor and management are also players, why should they be angry with players?
