Chapter 2607 The Second Stage Begins
At this time, the palace is a deserted land for the players. If it weren't for an invisible son acting as a security guard outside the Hongming Palace, the players would have turned the Hongming Palace upside down.
"But having said that, are these the only NPCs in this palace? We didn't see even one person along the way. Instead, we saw a mythical creature, so the Emperor of Update arranged certain things before the decisive battle. Has anyone left?"
Liu Xing put his hands on his hips and said: "You see, there are not many women, children, old and young people among the people here. And according to the information we got before, this so-called palace is a city, and there will definitely not be only these people in it, so these They either chose to leave or are hiding somewhere! If it's the former, that's fine, but if it's the latter, it's not good news for us. After all, we can't really treat them. Take action, but they may take action against us."
"Don't think so much."
Baihecheng patted Liu Xing on the shoulder and said seriously: "The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. We have a way to deal with these NPCs. Anyway, we won't last long..."
Before Bai Hecheng finished speaking, a system prompt sounded in Liu Xing's ear.
"Star of Destruction has officially entered the second stage of the eye-opening progress. All players currently within the scope of activity will obtain a new state - Enter the Dragon."
"Enter the Dragon, that is, two players are randomly paired, and the player who is successfully matched will be able to improve their combat effectiveness through various methods, but the increased combat effectiveness can only be effective when fighting against the paired player! And when you pair When players are eliminated, they will receive an additional reward - palm thunder."
"Let’s not get too close here. This palm mine is an early musket with only one bullet. This bullet can be selected as a pellet or a shotgun. This palm mine can be brought back to the martial arts module, regardless of life or death. ”
Hiss~
After listening to this new system prompt, the players around Liu Xing couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, because before this, the Cthulhu Run game lobby had secretly allowed players to start a brawl. , I still have a little bit of reserve in my body, but now I don’t even want to act anymore, I just told you to have a fight.
And there was another wave of rewards, which made Liu Xing a little excited.
But then again, who will I be paired with?
It can't be that person, right?
Liu Xing subconsciously looked at Baihe City, because the two parties in this kind of pairing are usually not too far apart. Otherwise, if two players want to fight, they will have to travel thousands of miles. Is it still necessary to fight? ?
Just switch to a long-distance running competition.
So if he wants to be paired nearby, Liu Xing can only think of one possibility, that is, his opponent will be Baihe City, which is right in front of him, because the score Baihe City has already obtained in this event is definitely not low. In addition, his combat power is almost the same as his own, so it is reasonable for him to fight with Baihe City.
No matter how abstract the Cthulhu Running Group game lobby is, a certain Arnold with a pointy head will not be allowed to defeat the eponymous Schwarzenegger to become the annual bodybuilding champion, right?
You can choose a powerful king, but if it doesn’t work, you can just let Brother Yaoshui do it!
Are you right?
So Liu Xing doesn’t think that he will suddenly be lucky and be randomly selected as the weakest among the players?
Uh, wait.
Liu Xing suddenly realized something, that among the players staying near the palace now, the weakest one seems to be himself, right?
After all, because he is "handsome" at this time, his blood volume can be said to be approximately zero, because he will be dead as long as he takes a hit.
How to play this?
At this moment, Liu Xing suddenly saw a very obvious exclamation mark on Baihe City's head, just like a common NPC in online games, of course the one with a mission.
And Liu Xing could also see a hint of surprise in Baihecheng's eyes, probably because there was an exclamation point on his head.
I really just want to fight Baihe City by myself.
Liu Xing really didn't expect that he would have to fight a second battle with Baihe City. You must know that if Baihe City hadn't given in to him in the first "battle", he might not have been able to appear here, so Baihe City still Will you recommend yourself?
Wait, why do you think so? !
Liu Xing suddenly woke up and realized that he seemed to be led away by the Cthulhu Game Hall. You must know that judging from the current situation, he and other players do not necessarily have to be in the same room. Brothers are jealous, after all, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall does not force paired players to compete in a one-on-one duel.
So I have to stand up and stabilize the morale of the army.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing quickly climbed up the city wall and said to the players next to him: "Brothers, look at me, I have something to announce! That is, we must not be deceived by the Cthulhu Game Hall. Although it is adding layers of pressure now, it wants us to beat ourselves, so I We must not fall for this trick! Of course, I don’t want to stop everyone from getting rich, so let’s explore this palace first and complete the main tasks before setting up a one-on-one challenge! If anyone dares to attack a teammate at this time, don’t blame us for kicking you!”
After hearing what Liu Xing said, some players who were ready to make a move calmed down, because they realized that although they had only been together for a few hours, they had not parted ways for so long, so they had a little brotherhood. In addition, many players had already joined the alliance, so it was even more difficult for them to attack their own people at this time.
"By the way, everyone calm down first! Didn't the system prompt sound just now say that we can improve our combat effectiveness in various ways from now on, and this combat effectiveness will only be increased when we attack a certain player, but I think the reward after you defeat your opponent is that you can use your bonus to act on other players, even NPCs, and then the third stage of the Star of Destruction will be opened. I believe that the Cthulhu game lobby will continue to increase the bet?"
At this point, Liu Xing looked up at the Star of Destruction in the sky and found that its eyes, which were originally closed, were about to open at this time. It was like a person who had a nightmare and was about to be awakened.
Seeing this, Liu Xing knew that if the Star of Destruction wanted to open its eyes completely, it would have to go through at least two more stages, so the Cthulhu Game Hall should throw out some more chips to let the players continue to fight.
But now, Liu Xing still doesn't understand why the Cthulhu Game Hall did this?
According to Liu Xing and others' previous speculation, this activity is the Cthulhu Game Hall paving the way for the main plot later, allowing players to find their status to determine whether they want to continue to participate in the main plot of the martial arts module.
As a result, after entering the grid array, things became a little wrong, but Liu Xing didn't think it was because of Luo Ye and kp Maple Leaf that this activity suddenly went off track, because from the system prompt sound and the Star of Destruction above the head, these were all prepared by the Cthulhu Game Hall a long time ago. . . But Luo Ye didn't mention this?
If Luo Ye knew about this, he should have reminded himself, at least he should have said it in a subtle way, so Luo Ye should not know about this.
That means that all these changes were made after Ao Guanhai and others controlled the Cthulhu game lobby. After all, if this module is still the same as it was back then, it would not be a good thing for Ao Guanhai and others.
If the predecessors did everything well, wouldn't it make the current one look like a waste?
Moreover, Liu Xing suspected that although Ao Guanhai and others did not find Luo Ye and KP Maple Leaf, they also knew that there were many old players hidden in this event, so in order to prevent these players from taking the opportunity to make trouble, they were forced to modify the final plot of this event?
For example, this Star of Destruction looked like Gehros just changed his skin and brought him in for a guest appearance, and it didn't seem that there would be too many plots. It was just to wait until the eyes were opened and use a big move to let all players return directly to the martial arts module, and by the way, this piece of land could be cleaned up, so that players could not revisit the old land later.
Because Liu Xing stood up to stabilize the morale of the army, coupled with appropriate threats, the players present also calmed down and began to explore every building in the palace. Of course, some players ran to take away the weapons of those NPCs. After all, this not only allows them to have weapons, but also makes these NPCs unarmed.
As a certain game character said-when we switch roles, I will let you know what cruelty is!
But then again, these NPCs really have a delicate sleep and have no intention of waking up, but it is certain that only a few of these NPCs are beyond salvation.
At this time, Liu Xing sat on the Diaoyutai and looked at the overall situation directly on the city wall, so as to avoid some players suddenly saying such a sentence to the players next to him.
"Brother, you smell so good."
To be on the safe side, Liu Xing still had to stop some players from going astray as soon as possible, and also to prevent some players from dragging other players into the water after setting a bad example. After all, "he did it too" is the best excuse for many people to convince themselves to do bad things.
So if he can't stop the first player who took action, then the situation will become uncontrollable.
In addition, Liu Xing, who was sitting on the city wall, also wanted the players below to find him as soon as possible, so as to avoid any unexpected situation in the middle and he could not be found to take charge of the situation, which would cause the situation to become serious.
However, from the current situation, there was no big movement in the palace except for the players running around and the invisible son who continued to guard the gate, so Liu Xing began to wonder if the "dog hole" was prepared for the invisible son?
Although the invisible son was a big guy, he was flexible, so this "dog hole" was enough for him to pass smoothly, but it was a bit disrespectful to the invisible son.
However, now that the invisible son has become like that, it seems that he doesn't need the emperor to respect him.
So in Liu Xing's opinion, the original plot of this event should be that the Emperor of Update found that he was doomed to fail, so he had to release the Invisible Son to change the situation. As a result, although the Invisible Son was captured by the Emperor of Update for a long time, he did not succumb to the Emperor of Update, so the Invisible Son became the target of concentrated fire. After all, the saying that those who are not of my race must have different hearts is not just talk.
So, the NPCs who were still fighting each other had to put aside their prejudices at this time and began to work together to deal with the Invisible Son. Since the Emperor of Update was able to capture the Invisible Son at the beginning, he should have a way to capture the Invisible Son again, and this requires the players to help.
As a result, now that the plot has changed, the situation of the Invisible Son is a little embarrassing, because if the Invisible Son is really allowed to attack at will, then the players present will suffer a lot, after all, the players at this time really have no ability to deal with the Invisible Son.
Therefore, the Invisible Son can only be punished to stand outside the Hongming Hall.
However, Liu Xing was still worried about one thing at this time, that is, there was no big movement on his side, but the Star of Destruction suddenly entered the second stage, which meant that players in other places might have already fought each other.
If this is true, then the second stage of the Star of Destruction will add fuel to the fire, and it is estimated that players in other places will fight more fiercely, and some players who originally did not want to fight will be forced to get involved in the battle at this time. After all, even if you don’t want to fight, someone will come to your door.
When the avalanche begins, every snowflake has to brave the world.
So why does the Cthulhu running group game lobby force players to fight?
What is the point of this?
Although there is no timekeeping device such as a watch, Liu Xing has always felt that he has a good sense of time. For example, when he is in class, he can quickly estimate how long it will take to finish the get out of class. So at this time, Liu Xing calculated the time and found that it was at most sixteen hours since he entered this event.
According to the Cthulhu Game Hall, there should be eight hours left before the end of this event, but from the current situation, this event can only last for about an hour. If it lasts longer, it will be impolite.
So that's it!
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and finally understood the good intentions of the Cthulhu Game Hall, which is not to let players see the true ending of this event!
