While Hongyue and I were discussing the mission, the spacecraft had already entered the area around Misty Island, and the surrounding sea began to change from tranquility to gradually rougher. 【 ˆ】 Full text without ads. Hongyue and I felt that the humidity in the surrounding air began to rise, and we realized that we were at the right place, so we left the bow of the ship. When we returned to the bridge, the captain was directing the ship to slow down and lower its altitude, but now there was nothing visible except fog.

When we walked back just now, the fog around us was just barely noticeable, but by the time we walked back to the bridge, the fog outside had reached the point where no one could be seen five meters away, and This is not the ultimate state of dense fog. As we get closer to the Misty Island, the surrounding fog will further intensify, and will eventually increase to the point where we can't really see our fingers.

As the home of the ghost fleet, the fog on the Misty Island has almost no impact on undead creatures, and the undead are what our guild lacks most. Therefore, our guild warships have specially equipped undead navigators for the purpose of entering and exiting the fog. Island is convenient.

Although there are no undead on board our spaceship, the captain himself remembers the route map, and our ship is in the sky instead of in the water, so there is no need to worry about collision accidents. Moreover, the entire Misty Island is not covered by fog. In fact, the distribution of fog on the Misty Island changes from light to thick and then to light again. The heavy fog gradually began to appear thirty nautical miles away from the island, but at first it was just a thin layer of mist. However, as the distance from the island got closer, the mist would gradually increase until it was thirteen nautical miles away from the island. The mist can turn into a super thick fog that you can't even see, and even typhoons can't disperse it. However, this kind of thick fog is only in the area from thirteen nautical miles away from the island to the island shore. Once it passes the coastline, the fog on the island will quickly decrease and turn into a medium-sized fog. Although the fog on the island will still affect the line of sight, it can at least guarantee that you have a visual range of more than ten meters, which will not have much impact on the normal actions of most people.

Because we know that the fog inside Misty Island is thinner, we plan to drive directly to the island. The spaceship does not need to land in the water anyway, so we might as well just stay on land. I happened to remember that there was a large open-air material storage yard on Misty Island. It was built during the period when we were most active in Japan and was specially used to store transshipment materials. But now that Japan has Masamoto Matsumoto as an agent, we don't need to transport supplies to Japan every day, so this area must be empty now, just right for us to land.

Although the captain has ordered to slow down, the air resistance cannot be compared with the friction on the ground. After all the engines were turned off several times, our speed was still quite fast. When we approached the two kilometers range of the island, the speed of the spacecraft was still as high as 100 kilometers or more. At this speed, we flew over the last two kilometers and entered the island in just over a minute. Considering that the area of ​​Misty Island is not large, in order to avoid accidentally flying over, the captain had to order the active deceleration device to be activated, which completely reduced our speed.

Since the fog inside the island was not very thick, we quickly found the open dump and landed the spacecraft. The person in charge of the island is a necromancer. After all, there are too many undead in this place. Only a necromancer is the most suitable here. And more importantly, the ghost fleet is a fleet composed entirely of undead. As their home base, if they use something other than If the undead unit serves as the manager, even if there is no conflict due to guild suppression, the work efficiency will inevitably drop significantly, so a necromancer is very necessary here.

Because we had received the notice in advance, the other party did not express too much surprise at our arrival. As for the size of the spacecraft, this really shocked the other party, but there is one good thing about Misty Island, that is, it is foggy. Because of the fog, the last thing the person in charge saw was a section of the ship's hull. The bow, stern, and top of the ship were all in the fog. He could not see the entire spaceship at all. Even if he could guess how big the spaceship was based on what he saw in front of him, it was just imagination after all, and it would definitely feel different from seeing it with his own eyes. Because of this, although he was also shocked by the huge size of the spacecraft, he was not as exaggerated as when others saw the spacecraft for the first time.

After briefly explaining the supply issue to the other party, Hongyue and I handed over the tasks to the captain. Anyway, the remaining tasks were all general tasks, and there was no need for our president and vice president to fight on the ship together.

I estimated that it would take some time for Aphrodite to complete the contact work with the Olympus Protoss, and it would be useless to go there so early, so I agreed to Hongyue's plan and planned to take the time to complete the task of governing the guild first. Get rid of it.

As a material transfer station, Misty Island of course also has a teleportation array system, and it is quite complete. After using the teleportation array on Misty Island to return to Essinger, Hongyue and I called the main members of the guild and ran to the God of War to discuss who should be called to participate in the ruling guild mission.

"Judging from the information on the mission scroll and the conventions during the game, combat is still the main theme of the game, so combat effectiveness can be regarded as the first choice." The God of War gave an analysis suggestion, although he is only a computer and is not good at it. Creative thinking, but summarizing experience is his specialty.

Su Mei also agreed: "This is a good suggestion. I suggest you do it this way."

Daguofan asked from the side: "Don't we need to select a few intelligent personnel to assist? A mission of twelve to twenty-four people is already a task with quite a lot of people. There will definitely be a lot of troubles that require using your brain."

Hongyue said with a smile: "It's really rare to think of using your brain to make a big pot meal."

Daguofan muttered dissatisfiedly: "I'm just reckless, and I'm not stupid. Please don't always use my intelligence as an excuse, okay?"

Su Mei said next to her: "Brother Daguofan, you are really stupid sometimes. If you don't want to be criticized, just be careful not to do stupid things next time. As for this mission... In terms of intelligence, you must participate. Among the four people, except for Uncle Ying, who is relatively honest, the others can all be used as think tanks, especially Sister Rose, who is a close brother to me, so there is absolutely no problem with the think tank. As for the candidates, I think Let’s just include the top 24 ranked by combat effectiveness. Anyway, the system said it was a random draw. No matter how we arrange it, it will be messed up if we are drawn by the system. It’s better to ignore it and just select the top 24. Combat power, the rest will be left to the system.”

"If you put it this way, there seems to be only one issue left to discuss." Hongyue said.

Rose also nodded and said: "Then let's analyze how many people are there?"

Su Mei said: "There must be a reason why the system selects the number of players. According to our guild's internal statistics, generally speaking, the number of participants will directly affect the difficulty of the game. The more people, the higher the difficulty."

Big Pot Rice couldn't help but said: "I also know that the more people there are, the higher the difficulty, but if we send it with the minimum number of people, does it mean it will be the lowest difficulty?"

Military God said: "What Su Mei just said is not clear. In fact, the difficulty calculation is like this. Let's assume that the basic difficulty of a task is one hundred, and the minimum number of personnel required is ten and the maximum is twenty. We send ten When people participate, the difficulty of the game is one hundred. According to system convention, the increase in the number of people will be slower than the increase in difficulty, and the ratio we calculated is about one point to one, which means that every time we add one more person, the difficulty will increase by eleven. , which means that when twenty people participate, the difficulty of the game will be more than twice that of ten people. On the surface, it seems that the smaller the number of people, the more cost-effective, but in fact, most guilds’ collective tasks are not carried out according to the minimum number of people, because Although the difficulty rises faster after the number of people increases, the final reward rises faster than the difficulty rises. That is, the more people there are, the higher the difficulty and the richer the rewards. And because this reward is linked to the number of people, not It is linked to difficulty, so under the main theme of the game that risk equals reward, we increase the number of people and actively seek high-difficulty tasks. In fact, we take advantage of the system and get a task whose reward value exceeds the risk."

Rose continued: "Actually, it's more than that. According to the data analysis model of our guild, the conclusion is that the system seems to be defined based on the total combat power of all players in the server divided by the number of people and then multiplied by a special variable. That is to say, when the system calculates the increase in the number of people, it is calculated based on the variable product of average strength, rather than based on the increase in actual combat power. Then, there is a loophole in this."

"That's right." Su Mei took over the topic and said: "The loophole is that the average combat power of our guild is much higher than the server average. So, if we engage in multi-person battles, is it possible that the total increase in strength exceeds the difficulty increase speed? ?”

"We can't answer this question." Military God took over from Sumei and said, "Because our statistical results show that the numerical variable is not a definite value, but a changing value based on some more complex calculation formula."

Rose took up the topic again and said: "However, although we cannot determine that variable, there is one thing we can be sure of, that is, the system cannot deprive ordinary players of the possibility of completing tasks. The system must achieve a bowl of water that is even, but it cannot There is no way for ordinary players to survive, so this variable cannot be too large. The result of our calculation is that the probability of this variable being less than 2 is more than 98%. In other words, as long as the combat effectiveness we increase due to the increase in the number of people exceeds that of ordinary players, The average combat effectiveness of players is more than twice that of the task we are doing, and the more people we have, the simpler the task will be."

"Then what are we still discussing?" Daguofan stood up and shouted: "Just the maximum number of twenty-four people."

Hongyue looked at the big pot of rice with a smile and asked: "Do you know why the fastest reacting creature in the world is an insect?"

Da Guo Fan didn't know why Hong Yue suddenly asked him this, but everyone else in the audience laughed and stood up and started to leave. Only Da Guo Fan was there alone and didn't know what everyone was laughing at.
