Chapter 105 Call request (asking for monthly ticket)
Yuanchu Altar.
Qi Sheng's consciousness jumped quickly and he looked through the torrent of information produced by the players.
He personally went to negotiate with the Lunar Eclipse clan and completely solved the problem of how to explain the future game after it was exposed.
The monster world has been covered with the guise of the Lunar Eclipse Clan secretly developing games. Except for the 18 Lunar Eclipse Clan's Archons, not even the Lunar Eclipse Clan members will know the truth.
In fact, Qi Sheng has never really cared about this issue.
This is just to make it more convenient to continue building the player army in the form of a game.
As for when the qualifications will be distributed to the Lunar Eclipse tribe in batches, it will be considered based on the development trend.
After all, his sacrificial power is limited, so he will still focus on human race as his core recruitment target.
When you have enough sacrificial power, you can then consider other racial forces on the earth, as well as the Lunar Eclipse clan.
The reason for contacting the Lunar Eclipse Clan in advance this time was because the guidance and monitoring found that the senior management of the Lunar Eclipse Clan had fallen into despair, so they contacted the Lunar Eclipse Clan in advance and gave a promising preview, which also solved the problem of explanation after the game was exposed.
In the eyes of the Lunar Eclipse tribe, this is a promising turning point in the future, but in the eyes of Qi Sheng, it is just a passing episode.
Without thinking about this issue in detail, Qi Sheng's consciousness continued to browse the game content.
At this time, a post on the forum caught his attention.
This post was posted by "Dark Night is Coming", a well-known Raiders player on the forum. In the post, a round of voting was launched to determine the strength of the contained souls.
The purpose of the selection is to select which single life soul has the highest strength without combining star veins.
Each voter can put forward his or her idea of voting in the post. If the idea is liked by a large number of players, his voting weight will increase.
As soon as the post was published, a large number of players cast their votes and responded to the post.
During this period, the host will divide single life souls into six levels from T0 to T5 based on voting, and the ranking changes will be updated in real time.
After three hours of voting, the results have gradually stabilized.
There are four life souls currently in the T0 level, ranked by voting, namely: eagle-headed demon (resentment), gargoyle (petrification), breath-taking, and slowness (domain)
T1 level life souls are ranked according to voting: Black-armored Snake (venomous), Taunt, Shattered (Knife), Bone Fire, Thunder.
T2-level souls are ranked by voting: Roar, Sweep, Leaving Soul, Ghost, and Light Shield.
T3 level souls are ranked according to voting: Resistance, Binding, Forbidden Blade, Flowing Shadow (Clone)
T4 level souls ranked by voting: Infinite (Sixth Generation), Liman (Axe), Dusk Shadow
T5 level life souls are ranked by voting: Mud Demon (dissolution), extraction.
……
Except for the special life soul "Pain", other contained life souls are included in this ranking.
There is no suspense that the Eagle-headed Demon Soul ranks first on the list.
As the most practical commanding skill in team battles, and a perceptual skill to avoid sudden dangers when exploring, the functionality of the Eagle-headed Demon has always been ranked first on the list since the launch of the game, and has never been shaken.
The same goes for the second gargoyle.
As the core life soul of the tank style, the Gargoyle has unique strength. Whether it is an individual team or the front row of a team battle, the Gargoyle is the first choice life soul for injury-resistant players.
As for the third ranked breath-taking, it is the only universal life soul among the contained life souls.
The characteristic effect is to automatically filter energy particles in the air through breathing, replenishing mental strength and energy and blood consumption.
Before the nanny-type life soul appears, inlaying breath-taking can save players a lot of potion expenses. Both melee players and legal players use inlays.
Especially for legal players, without the combination of Qi-eating Life Soul, the continuous output time will be greatly reduced.
Among these rankings of the strength of single life soul characteristics, what surprised Qi Sheng the most was that the ranking of Liman Ax was actually listed at level T4.
This is the earliest weapon soul to be contained. The effect is that all physical attacks have a "brute force" effect, increasing the damage effect by 50%.
It is also one of the mainstream life soul combinations in melee combat, and its priority is hovering in the top two.
But in the selection of a single life soul, the strength ranking is very low.
After scanning the comment area, Qi Sheng found the answer.
The 50% damage increase effect of the Brutal Ax is based on its own strength.
Assume that the damage of a single forceful ax is 1, and the damage-increasing effect of the Life Soul characteristic is 50%. Without calculating the target's defense, the damage effect will be 1.5.
If the target's defense is 1, the damage value of the Brute Ax is 0.5.
As a pure damage-increasing life-like soul, the damage dealt by a single inlaid force brutal ax is far less than the damage of a single inlaid bone fire, thunder and other elements to the life-like soul.
Not even as good as the Broken Knife and Black-armored Snake with physical special effects.
Both are weapon spirits and life souls. The life soul characteristics of the Broken Blade are that all physical attacks have penetration and crushing effects.
Calculated based on the basic damage of the breaking knife of 1, for a target with a defense of 1, the breaking characteristic can produce a damage value of about 0.85.
Calculated based on the base damage of the Black-armored Snake of 1, against a target with a defense of 1, the Black-armored Snake can still cause a damage value of 1.2 that continuously deducts blood by relying solely on its poisonous effect.
This is the interpretation posted in the voting post after players evaluated the actual combat performance of two single features in detail, and received a large number of likes from players.
From this, it can be concluded that the strength of the broken knife and black-armored snake is much higher than that of the powerful ax with a single life soul embedded in it.
But if it is used in combination with the Star Veins, the strength of the Liman Ax will skyrocket.
For example, when the Brutal Ax is combined with the Broken Knife, the penetrating physical damage can also be increased by 50%, making this life soul a must-have for the mainstream in melee combat styles.
Other similar situations include the mainstream life soul flow shadow clone of the legal system, which can be regarded as the version answer level.
However, without the use of other life souls, the combat power that the clone can provide alone is very limited. Apart from being easy to use for mining, the actual combat performance is very poor, so it is ranked at the T3 level of single life soul strength.
After reading the voting posts for single life souls, Qi Sheng didn't think there was anything wrong with the ranking.
After all, being strong with a single life soul and being strong with a combination of star veins are completely different things.
For example, the binding life soul is paired with the slow field. The effect of the binding life soul at the bottom of the version has been greatly improved, and the effect becomes group control within the coverage area of the field. It can definitely be called the T0 level strength of the version.
The enthusiasm of players to study the combination of life and soul is exactly the result Qi Sheng wants to see.
Every research progress will bring about an increase in the overall strength of the player's legion.
Ignoring the content of the post, he switched his gaze to the perspective of other players.
After the Caiwu Coast was opened, the player groups began to diverge.
Teams with the guild as the core will basically stay in the Imperial Tomb Mountains for development. This is a rapidly growing area in their eyes.
Groups headed by individual players will wander around the Imperial Tomb Mountains and the Colorful Mist Coast.
Among them, the choice of casual players has been changed to the Colorful Mist Coast area, and they are also the main force in dispelling the map fog in the new area.
This group is basically responsible for updating a large number of new illustrated content recently.
Each player has different game preferences, which can also help build the player's legion.
While thinking about the problem, Qi Sheng's eyes frequently switched between the Imperial Tomb Mountains and the Caimu Coast, searching for any special events.
……
real world.
Earth Alliance, Human Race Office, Director's Office No. 3.
Looking through the Xingwang mailbox, he found that the Lunar Eclipse clan had never given any reply. Wu Gui, who was sitting at his desk, couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Recently, various units have been sending frequent emails, hoping to get in touch with the Eclipse clan through their alliance offices as soon as possible to apply for additional qualifications for the "Dark Land" game.
In response to this issue, he also contacted the head of the Lunar Eclipse Clan Alliance.
But what they got was always arranged by Star Network, and they had no right to issue additional game qualifications.
He had no choice but to contact the Human Federation's diplomatic envoy in Eclipse City, hoping that he would contact the management of Eclipse City nearby to apply for additional qualifications.
But there is still no progress in this channel.
The reply received seemed to be carved out of a template, indicating that all the rights of the Lunar Eclipse Clan to the virtual game "Dark Land" were handed over to StarNet Intelligent Brain, and they separated from the Lunar Eclipse Clan after the game was launched. It is under the control of the management. They have no right to interfere with the progress of the game, and they will not interfere with Star Network's restrictions on the distribution of game qualifications.
If the Star Network believes that granting additional qualifications to the Human Federation is beneficial to the development of the Lunar Eclipse Clan, they can get the additional qualifications even if they don't apply.
The summary is: StarNet decides everything, and the management is only responsible for execution.
This gave him a headache.
On one side, there are frequent email applications from various units, hoping to quickly obtain a batch of additional qualifications that do not require official subscription through diplomatic means. On the other side, there is the same rejection reply every time. Caught in the middle, both sides suffer.
Although he was already familiar with the rigid characters of the Lunar Eclipse clan members, he still felt that the Lunar Eclipse clan members were too impersonal.
After all, this is an alliance and friendship that has lasted for hundreds of years. Why can't we be more accommodating, give them face, and give them an extra group of places?
In particular, Xingwang Intelligent Brain makes decisions purely based on profit-oriented decisions.
There can be no talk of any emotion.
Just as Wu Gui was complaining in his heart, a new email popped up on his computer.
Through the suffix, he found that it was an email from the Human Federation-Spirit Planting Center. He had already guessed the content of the email before he clicked it.
After clicking on it, the result was just as he expected. Sure enough, he came to him again to ask for additional game qualifications.
However, according to work regulations, he could only give a reply as required, saying that the application had never been approved and he needed to wait further.
"Huh."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Heaving a long sigh of relief, Wu Gui leaned back on his seat, looking helpless.
Just then, the email prompt appeared again.
Wu Gui, who was about to copy and paste the reply content, suddenly became energetic after seeing the "Moon Eclipse Clan" certification in the suffix of the email.
With excitement, he clicked on the email.
[Lunar Eclipse Tribe (Certification)]:
Time: April 27, 2524
Recipient: Terran Alliance Center.
Content: Dear human allies, regarding the application for additional quotas in the Dark Land, after approval by the Star Network, additional quotas will be issued to you: 500 quotas, which can be activated and certified through the official website. The specific activation code is as follows...
There is another question that needs your help. Do you know how many players in the Human Federation have obtained game qualifications through cracked version links?
……
Although there are only 500 places, Wu Gui is still happy.
At least the units that frequently send in applications will be accounted for. Each unit will get one point out of the 500 places, and the unit with the highest authority level will get at least 1-2 places.
But the follow-up questions in the email made Wu Gui very confused.
Cracked game link? What is this?
He immediately pressed reply and began to organize his words.
Earth Alliance-Human Center: I don’t understand what you mean by the cracked version link. Can you elaborate?
Not long after, the Lunar Eclipse clan sent a reply.
Earth Alliance-Lunar Eclipse Center: This news was first provided by the Human Federation-Star Network Security Center. You may be able to consult them.
Seeing the reply, Wu Gui couldn't help complaining about the trouble in his heart.
He was certain that whenever the Lunar Eclipse clan wanted to, they could connect to the Star Network Security Center through the Star Network at any time, and they also had to communicate through him, just to show off and show respect.
But since the Eclipse clan gave him the qualification, he naturally couldn't refuse the request.
Pressing the function key on the desktop, the light and shadow cast on the ceiling intertwined into a light curtain. He selected the StarNet Security Center in the contact list, and Wu Gui called to connect.
After a while, the connection was connected.
A middle-aged man with a resolute face and a short beard appeared on the light screen. He was wearing the blue uniform of the Star Network supervisor. He was looking at him with a puzzled expression.
Before Wu Gui could speak, the other party spoke first:
"Xiao Wu, did you get the extra game qualification from the Lunar Eclipse clan?"
Wu Gui:......
Facing the inquiry, Wu Gui was silent for a moment and then nodded:
"I got 500 places, but..."
"We need 50 Star Network Security Centers."
"Brother, I am only responsible for receiving the quota. How to allocate this quota must be left to the Supreme Council. How can I have the power to allocate it to you? If I really have this ability, all these 500 quotas will be given to you, even the dogs raised by your unit. Allocate a quota.”
Seeing Wu Gui's helpless answer, the middle-aged man in the light screen burst out laughing:
"Stop joking with you, tell me what you want from me."
Facing the inquiry, Wu Gui's face straightened and he described the Lunar Eclipse clan's request in detail.
After listening to his story, the middle-aged man in the light screen frowned slightly:
"Why would the Lunar Eclipse clan throw this problem to us? Star Network can investigate the download information of the cracked version link at any time, as well as the specific number of downloads... It seems that there is indeed a problem within the Lunar Eclipse clan?"
"What do you mean?" Wu Gui looked very surprised.
"Some time ago, a download link appeared on the Terran Star Network. Through this link, you can download the cracked version of Dark Land. In order to find out the situation, we applied for the highest level intelligent master brain of the Human Race Federation to assist in the investigation. It was found that the master brain's authority could not be used to open the cracked version. Without opening the link address, it is impossible to trace who has downloaded the cracked version of Dark Land through the link.”
"In response to this problem, we have come up with a conjecture that there may be a problem within the Lunar Eclipse clan. The download link for this cracked version can be 100% certain to be leaked from within the Lunar Eclipse clan, so even the highest-level mastermind cannot open this link. Links, trace the information behind the links.”
"Now I hear you say that the Lunar Eclipse clan wants to know how many people on the Star Network of the Human Federation have downloaded the cracked version of Dark Land through the link. This further confirms our guess."
"It's extremely unusual for them to ask us through you instead of asking the Star Network Intelligence Brain. I even suspect that there is a possibility of rebelling against the Star Network within the Lunar Eclipse clan, so I bypassed the Star Network and asked you directly."
Having said this, the expression of the middle-aged man in the light screen looks a little strange:
"But what I don't understand is why they want to establish contact with you through the Internet. They can meet and communicate with you. Their behavior seems to be completely exposed to the surveillance of the Star Network... There is also a possibility that they use some kind of Shielding means to bypass StarNet’s monitoring of the online world and get in touch with you.”
Wu Gui was stunned for a moment after hearing this fierce analysis, and then he couldn't help but ask:
"Then do you want to give a reply to the Lunar Eclipse clan?"
"Tell them that we don't know exactly how many members of the human race have downloaded the cracked version of the game. After all, our mastermind has no authority to trace the clues. As far as I know, the only people who are qualified to get the cracked version of the game are the Weapon R&D Department of Tianqiong R&D Center. And some researchers from the Gene Research and Development Department..."
After listening to the middle-aged man's story, Wu Gui nodded:
"Okay, I will answer the Lunar Eclipse clan according to the reply you gave, that's it."
After hanging up the phone, Wu Gui immediately responded to the Lunar Eclipse clan.
Earth Alliance-Human Center: The supreme mastermind of the human race cannot trace the specific situation through the cracked version link. I can confirm here that there are 74 players who have downloaded the cracked version of the game content. There is no way to trace the number of other download qualifications.
One minute later, a new email came from the Lunar Eclipse clan.
Earth Alliance - Lunar Eclipse Center: Thanks to our Terran allies for the information.
After the exchange ended, Wu Gui immediately started busy and sent the 500 game quotas sent to him by the Lunar Eclipse tribe to the supreme council of the human race. He did not need to worry about how to allocate the quotas later.
At this moment, the Lunar Eclipse clan sent another new email.
This made Wu Gui very confused.
The Lunar Eclipse Center, which I usually can't contact several times a month, is sending frequent email messages today.
With doubts, he clicked on the email content.
The information above stunned him.
In the email, the Lunar Eclipse tribe actually asked the human race if they needed to open an additional exchange application and use Lunar Eclipse coins or Earth coins to exchange a large amount for the human race's credit coins.
If this email didn't have the word "certification" in red in the title, he would have suspected that it was a fake email fraud.
But the content is incredible no matter how you look at it.
There has always been a trade deficit between the human race and the Lunar Eclipse clan. At the beginning, the Lunar Eclipse clan had hoarded a lot of Human Federation credits, which they continued to return every year in the name of funding development.
After all, the Lunar Eclipse tribe does not lack anything produced by the human federation.
At most, they can only purchase some ordinary spiritual materials grown in the huge territory of the human race. This is also the largest trade expenditure made by the Lunar Eclipse clan to the human race.
In recent years, the Lunar Eclipse clan has encountered a bottleneck in its development. They no longer even accept credit coins from the Human Federation, and are only willing to accept Earth coins that are common to all races in the Earth Alliance.
Normally, the Human Race Center would send the Lunar Eclipse Clan to inquire whether there was any need for currency exchange.
But the answer of the Lunar Eclipse clan is always no.
Now he suddenly saw an email from the Lunar Eclipse clan, saying that they wanted to use Lunar Eclipse coins or even Earth universal coins to exchange for human clan credit coins. No matter how he read the content, he felt that it was untrue.
Holding his chin, Wu Gui looked at the email content on the screen, narrowed his eyes slightly, and fell into deep thought:
"Does the recent lunar eclipse want to purchase a large amount of spiritual resources produced by our human federation?"
"Or maybe our human race has made a huge breakthrough in a certain new technology, and the Lunar Eclipse tribe wants to purchase this technology?"
"But I didn't receive a notification either."
"Tsk, that's weird... report it quickly."
