Chapter 194 Starnet replacement?
The world of caves, mechanical ruins.
Alan and his teammates lay on the iron railing outside the control room, scanning the mechanical spiders gathered in the hall below.
During this period of contact, Alan's identity in the team changed.
Now he is the core of the team and the only player who takes the main body to strengthen.
The original main body form was the captain.
But the captain knew that his ability was far inferior to his, so he chose to give way to him, and he was the "integration core" in the team.
Alan was not surprised by this and accepted the position of captain frankly.
From the moment he entered the game, he had a clear plan for his future.
This time, the high-dimensional life is issued with the game qualification, and he is the only one who has been awarded the qualification.
After entering the game, he named himself "Catching the Power of Sacrifice", with the purpose of laying out the monster world in advance.
At the same time, the refund for Dark Land has been opened.
His contact information in the game is posted on the official website of Dark Land. Any player who wants a refund can contact him in the Monster World and exchange the power of equivalent real currency for a refund.
In the eyes of players, this is a free compensation amount of 1.5 times.
But Alan knew clearly.
The future sacrifice will replace real currency and become a truly valuable currency in the eyes of members of the Earth Alliance.
The only way to limit the power of sacrifice to replace the real currency problem is time, and the restriction of currency circulation caused by the shortage of sacrifice to ensure that large-scale transaction demand is impossible.
Therefore, laying out sacrifices in advance is the core direction of the future development of the lunar eclipse tribe.
Secondly, the power layout in the game is also very important.
At this stage, he is the only one who has obtained the game qualification for the lunar eclipse, and it is difficult to establish a power alone.
We must rely on those ethnic groups with a large number of players and cooperate with them.
This is also why he chose to join other race squads.
Although I have also considered joining top guilds such as the Gods.
But he thought that the top guild might not be willing to accept him at a low level.
So the newbies are his best choice.
As the number of players in the team expands, he can establish a preliminary team in the Monster World to prepare in advance for the tribe members who enter the Monster World in the future.
So becoming the captain was already expected.
In fact, he thought about this issue carefully before joining the team.
How can we take over the ready-made squad and become the leader of this squad.
During this period, he must solve two core problems.
The first question is the stereotypes of the lunar eclipse tribes.
In the virtual games before this, the lunar eclipse was always the target of various tribes' attacks, and the impression was generally poor.
It is even nicknamed: the creature in the upper realm.
This is not a compliment, but a mocking of the indifferent image of the Moon Eclipse clan.
When contacting any race as the lunar eclipse, there must be a barrier.
So when he came into contact with Tu Bai's team, he chose to join as an ordinary lunar eclipse tribe.
Make your name in advance and you don’t want to choose this name, and resolve the barriers by complaining.
After integrating into the team with a low profile, he needs to build trust with his teammates.
In this regard, he gained favorable impression by showing value, actively helping the team solve development needs, and listening to feedback from team members.
With his step by step efforts, the team has already rotated around him.
The captain also realized his lack of ability and chose to give the captain's position to him.
What he needs to do next is to expand the number of teams.
A large number of new players on the wasteland are his targets.
Just then, a voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Alan, why do you want to share the strategy of the Combination King Kong in the forum? Can't we use it ourselves?"
When Alan heard this, he turned around and looked.
What he asked about was the captain of the original team, a player from the Black Jade Clan, whose game was called "Iron Heart".
Facing the inquiry, he smiled and shook his head:
"Although there is a resource dispute among players, the core content of this game is external development, so if you have good strategies, you must naturally share them in the forum. The overall benefits will also benefit us individuals, such as the Soul Containment , We rely on the efforts of old players to make the novice mode easier. ”
"I can't understand it, but you are a creature in the upper realm, and your perspective on the problem is definitely different from ours."
As he said that, a hint of regret appeared on the captain's face:
"Our Black Jade Clan is a small tribe with limited resources, and the way of thinking about problems is always from the perspective of self-interest. The narrow thinking is because we are already limited to a narrow world, in such an environment Next, we only learned to strive for it, but we really couldn't learn to share it."
The teammate of the eagle-headed demon standing on the rusty iron railing put his head over:
"So the Virgin will only appear in a prosperous and stable social environment."
Tu Bai, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but nod:
"Material foundation determines ideas. The economic level of developed ethnic groups is high, material conditions are rich, and the basic living needs of the people are fully met. On this basis, members of the clan have more energy to pay attention to spiritual pursuits, such as environmental protection, animal protection, etc. A more macro abstract concept, but in my opinion, it is all full."
Alan:...
The chat content of his teammates made him not know how to interrupt.
In fact, the strategy of the Combined King Kong was shared in the forum because his way of considering the problem was centered on the future development of the lunar eclipse clan.
Laying out forums means laying out the future.
It is clear that in the current Monster World game, the forum is the most influential carrier and amplifier for players.
The forum has made a reputation, which means that even if you don’t have the strength in the monster world, you can gain a large number of fans of players.
Take the "night is coming", which has the highest number of fans in the forum, as an example.
He is unknown in the world of monsters, just an ordinary player, and as an old player, he still has no outstanding results.
The level of the Life Soul is not worth mentioning in front of many high-quality games.
But on the forum, he is a well-deserved celebrity. With his deep understanding of the game mechanism, interesting game strategy sharing, and unique views raised in various topic discussions, he has attracted a large number of players to follow.
In the forum, his speeches always arouse enthusiasm, which can be said to be a response.
There is no need to even read the content. Players will click in to see the content as long as they see the four words "Night is coming" on the title of the latest post.
Even blank titles can gain dozens of times the popularity of other players posting posts.
In theory, as long as the night is approaching, you can get a lot of support from players by posting a forum.
Those players who are usually influenced by him on the forum and follow him will respond one after another.
There are many top-notch and high-quality games, such as the liver imperial group, the children's group, etc. that have been helped in the early stages.
There is even the God King of the Divine Hall Guild.
These players can quickly organize and gather into a huge combat power in a short time, and go to the "place of the incident" to help the night approach.
This is a powerful cohesion formed based on the influence of the forum. It seems invisible but extremely deterrent.
Although he entered the monster world late, expanding the forum's influence is a core direction for him to plan for the future development of the lunar eclipse tribe.
There are two ways of laying out the forum.
The first way is to provide high-quality guide content for forum players, which is also the route that night is about to go.
By providing Star Mail combination strategy and new gameplay strategy, the dark night is coming to every update and post is the focus of the forum.
Many players have even formed inertial thinking.
Every time Gaowei Life releases an update announcement, they will look for posts that are coming to the forum to read and learn more about the update content.
This path is completely imitated.
His first guide post has been posted on the forum.
That is, the "Immortal Fusion King Kong" he created has sparked heated discussions on the forum and has attracted the attention of many old players and new players.
But with just one post, his influence is far from reaching the height of the night.
The second way is to follow the hot topics and analyze the content in depth.
This point is mainly to conduct in-depth analysis from issues such as worldview and game mechanisms, and to attract players with deep thinking needs to participate in the discussion and resonance.
The most representative posts on the forum are also published from the night.
The post provides a hot topic: Assuming that we are not players, but enter the monster world as time travelers, now we give you a chance to choose your identity background, what will you choose?
This is a voting post.
Players can choose their favorite non-player forces in the post to make up for their development after time travel.
As a result, such a post actually topped the forum's popularity list in a short period of time.
Here there is the influence bonus of the coming night and the interesting topic of post discussion, attracting players to express their own opinions.
The success of the night is his direction of learning.
In addition, he can also make in-depth layouts from forum interaction, sharing, etc.
The importance of the forum's influence is listed as the second in the future development direction in StarNet's eyes, and is a powerful tool that can guide the direction of public opinion.
In this regard, StarNet has already launched an action.
Unfortunately, StarNet has never been able to get the game qualification in Monster World and has no right to post on the forum.
You can only contact qualified players in the live broadcast room as a tourist.
Without thinking about these questions, the most important thing for him now is to improve his strength.
His eyes swept toward the mechanical core of the hall below.
The surface of the core is nested by countless layers of precision metal sheets, each layer is engraved with metal texture, and between the sheets are energy lines emitting a faint blue luster, connected crisscrossingly.
Perhaps because of the long years of maintenance, the core operation has become very unstable.
Every once in a while, there will be a harsh metal friction sound.
It seems that the internal mechanical structure collides in operation, and the sharp sound is like countless gears rotating forcibly in rusty bearings.
This process will last for more than ten seconds, the core will suddenly restart, making a low roar, and the sound of chaotic mechanical collisions will be heard inside, and the energy fluctuations will become chaotic, and the blue light will be flashing and dark, as if it may be completely extinguished at any time.
It lasts for a long time before it will re-run.
As his eyes swept over, a large number of mechanical spiders were still "loyal" guarding around the core of the machinery. "Let's start."
Alan spoke out to remind him at this time.
Teammates nodded one after another and switched to the form of the soul of the life.
The Eagle-Headed Demon Team took the lead in action, jumped onto his head, and clutched his hair tightly.
The teammate who bound the soul of the life leaped up and sucked in his chest.
Tu Bai's transformation of Liman Axe connects with his right hand.
The captain's "Iron Heart" replaced A Lan's previous injury-bearing positioning, transforming into a thick yellow shield connected to A Lan's left hand.
Light Shield's teammates turned into a cloud, floating on his right side.
At this time, Alan also activated the life connection feature, connected the blood bars of the team members, and entered the shared blood pool mode.
Take out a psionic bomb from the space bag, and after weighing it twice in his hand to determine the weight, he suddenly threw it towards the densest area of the mechanical spider in the hall below.
boom!
Accompanied by the loud noise, the challenger prompt for a successful kill sounded in Alan's mind.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
This time, the income from sacrificial power is greater than the expenses for purchasing bombs, and it is not a loss.
Then he decisively came to the gate of the control room, placing the rock shield in front of him, intending to use the relatively narrow terrain of the control room to fight.
At this time, the dense red dots lit up from the hall below. After being awakened, groups of mechanical spiders waved their slender arthropods like steel knives. After activation and debugging, they were like fighting Zergs, and like surging tides.
Suddenly, a mechanical spider pierced the glass of the control room and rushed towards him, and eight sharp mechanical legs pierced Alan's face like a blade.
"Host, please be careful, the face-hugging insect is coming." The teammate of the eagle-headed demon above his head gave a reminder.
Alan's expression did not change at all. He raised the rock shield to accurately resist the mechanical spider's attack.
While the rock shield moved down, Alan twisted his hips to the left to borrow force, and his right hand battle axe suddenly swung out.
Click!
The axe blade drew a sharp arc, accurately splitting the energy core at the center of the mechanical spider's body. Sparks splashed everywhere, and mechanical parts scattered all over the ground.
But this is just the beginning.
More mechanical spiders attacked from all directions, fearlessly.
Compared with the former captain, Alan has rich combat experience, and Tu Bai's transformed martyrdom axe turned into a harvester in his hands.
The sound of the axe blade splitting the metal shell intertwined with the burst sound of energy being destroyed in the mechanical spider's body. The air was filled with the smell of burnt circuits and the metal debris splashed.
During this period, the rock shield was attacked the most frequently, but they were all transferred to other teammates by Alan using the method of connecting his life.
Especially his teammates who are lying on his chest and inlaid with bound souls.
His position is relatively safe and he can share more blood loss.
During the high-intensity battle, his physical strength was severely consumed, and Alan's breathing gradually became rapid, and fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.
The white air flow continues to flow into the mouth along the breath, turning into mental power and qi and blood to replenish it.
During the battle, the vibration caused by the mechanical spider impact was constantly heard from the shield. The battle axe flew in Alan's hands. Every time he swung, he had the power of destroying his body, slashing one mechanical spider after another into pieces.
The mechanical wreckage piled up at his feet.
During the battle, Alan made rapid progress.
He gradually figured out how mechanical spiders fought and how to effectively attack mechanical spiders.
As the total blood pool continued to decline, Alan said in a deep voice:
"Little Chicken, come down and collect the wreckage."
"Okay."
The fiery red chick jumped down from her head, constantly putting the mechanical wreckage into the space luggage.
When the blood pool bottomed out, Alan took out a psionic bomb from his space bag and activated it.
boom!
After the loud bang, the mechanical wreckage splashed with Alan as the center.
After 1 hour and 39 minutes, Alan led the team to the control room again.
The originally dusty room had been completely destroyed by a psionic bomb, and the air was filled with a strong smell of burnt and a pungent smell of melting metal.
The walls were covered with cracks and notches, as if they were torn apart by an invisible giant hand.
The original console is now a pile of twisted metal debris, melted by high temperature into a ball of unimaginable scrap iron, covered with a thick layer of black ash, and the ground is scattered with various parts and cables, some are still emerging. Black smoke.
The mechanical wreckage left by the mechanical spider is scattered everywhere, among which the wreckage of a mechanical spider is lying in the corner, eight mechanical legs are twisted and deformed, the shell is burned black by the high temperature, the red light has been extinguished, the internal circuits and gears are exposed, and it is exposed. Arc.
After putting all the mechanical spider's remains in the space and offering sacrifices, Alan took the initiative to start the second round of offensive.
After three consecutive trips, Alan successfully cleaned the mechanical spider and landed in the hall along the rusty ladder.
Arrived at the mechanical core embedded in the huge instrument and stood in front of the switch, Alan pulled the switch down hard. With a dull "click", the originally roaring machine sound came to an abrupt end, the huge gears stopped rotating, and the pipes The flow of energy in it was also interrupted, and the sound of electric currents that kept ringing in the air gradually dissipated.
The light of the energy core began to weaken, dimming a little bit.
Everything returns to silence.
He reached out and took out the mechanical core the size of his head, Alan saved it into his space bag, and then summoned the interface to sacrifice.
Suddenly, the challenger prompt suddenly rang in his mind.
He took the screenshot of the revenue information on the team chat channel and started the team trading mode, distributing the revenue obtained from the sacrifice to his teammates.
"Continue exploring or go back?" The transaction was completed, and Tu Bai's voice rang out on the team chat channel.
"Of course, I'm continuing to explore. I've lost my first time. Now I'm afraid of death and just want to get rich." The voice of the iron heart sounded.
"I also agree to continue exploring. What if there is a better treasure in the tunnel? If someone sees someone sharing it on the forum in the future and says that he has made a fortune in the tunnel we have explored, it will be more uncomfortable than killing me."
In fact, this is exactly what Alan was thinking.
But as the leader of the team, he needs to respect his teammates' ideas and ask symbolically.
Even if his teammates give an answer against continuing exploration, he will find a way to convince him.
After a brief exchange, the team decided to continue exploring the depths of the tunnel.
It is speculated that this tunnel may reach the inside of the mechanical ruins, and there must be a large number of war machines left by the guards.
The number of mechanical monsters along the way has significantly decreased.
Half an hour later, Alan came to a new control room.
There are also a large number of data files piled up here.
Seeing A Lan looking through the documents again, Tu Bai, who turned into a powerful axe, couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Alan, what are you doing when you flip through these documents?"
"Looking for hidden clues of opportunity."
Alan did not explain too much and gave an answer that his teammate could accept.
In fact, many future development directions of the lunar eclipse in the monster world have not been finalized.
The clear general direction is to focus on the star veins and life souls, after all, this is the core combat power system of the monster world.
The various systems developed by players cannot be compared with the core systems at all.
For example, the early monster stream gameplay, or the recently popular immortal virus gameplay, are all side-by-side, and the star vein strengthening is the strongest combat power system given to players by high-dimensional life.
The later the star vein system, the higher the intensity.
Every time the main body is embedded with one more soul, the combat power can be significantly improved.
The ability combination brought by dozens of star veins is not comparable to the monster stream gameplay of a single life soul.
As for the technological routes that the lunar eclipse tribe is best at, it is not useless.
The main direction is mainly star veins, but perhaps we can embark on a branch of technological growth that can effectively produce resources like the Doomsday Science and Technology Guild.
Use technology to produce resources, or sell them to other players for sacrifice.
Many documents and materials in the ruins of the machinery may be used.
His eyes swept to the paper in his hand.
The title of this document is: Sublimation of the Soul.
The content describes the future planning direction of the mechatronic guards after completing the concept of "mechanical ascension".
In the plan, the guard clan will build an eternal tower in the main city of machinery, and then store the leader's consciousness in a huge quantum computing core, becoming the super intelligent brain in charge of the entire clan.
The sublimation of the soul refers to the sublimation of the leader from the physical body to the eternal existence, which is also the reason why quantum computers are called the "Tower of Eternity".
If the goal is achieved, the leader can monitor the actions of each tribe through the city's monitoring system and mechanical spider network, and can also predict the needs of tribesmen, allocate resources, and even communicate directly with tribesmen through chips implanted with mechanical immortal carriers. .
Theoretically, the leader’s decisions will be based on massive data analysis in the future, and there will be no mistakes in the decision-making within the information framework.
The concept described in the file reminded Alan of Star.com.
The difference is that the lunar eclipse directly created the star network.
The Cycling tribe wants the leader to serve as a supervisor like Star Network.
The control room he is in now is a node extending from the Tower of Eternity.
On the concept blueprint, the parameters of the Tower of Eternity are as high as 300 meters. The whole body is made of a dark black alloy. The surface is covered with complex spiritual patterns and symbols, and it flashes a faint blue light, as if liquid is flowing on the surface.
The tower body extends upward in a spiral shape, like a circling dragon pointing straight to the sky.
The foundation is wide and thick, surrounded by a circle of huge mechanical gears and pipes.
The top of the tower is a huge spherical structure with a transparent energy shield covering the surface, and a burning energy core floating inside.
Blazing bright blue light, like an artificial sun, charging the AI leader in real time.
After reading the contents of the file, Alan's heart pounded.
His eyes swept towards the end of the tunnel shrouded in darkness, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
Can the Tower of Eternity become a replacement for Starnet in the monster world?
If feasible, Starnet will take over this mechanical ruin city and build a new mechanical civilization here.
The lunar eclipse will also achieve better development under the protection of the star network.
The only problem is that the document only describes the concept and does not have detailed construction information.
Whether this tower of eternity really exists is still unknown.
Perhaps before it was created, the guards were destroyed.
But judging from the node control room under your feet, perhaps the construction of the Eternal Tower has already started.
This made Alan have an idea in his mind.
Even if this Eternal Tower is not perfect, as long as the follow-up information can be found, the lunar eclipse is fully capable of perfecting it and making Starnet the new owner of the city.
