Mystery makes me strong

Chapter 2677 Third Party Balance

Zhao Han stood in front of the window, looking at the mountains in the distance.
Her brows were furrowed and her heart was filled with worry.

She knew that those dukes and barons were weak and she could easily fight against them alone.

It could even be said that she didn't need any plan. She just needed to spread a little plague, and the king and his dukes would die one by one.

There is no need for a plan that can effectively fight them in the long run.

Yet she couldn't do that.

Because in this way, it is not just playing games to relax, but being a world-destroying demon.

She had no choice but to ask Wen Rensheng for help.

Wen Rensheng smiled and told her: "After all, you are just cloud players who will leave after playing for a while."

"You need to find some players to set up rules so that they can fight against these dukes and barons for a long time."

This made her fall into deep thought.

She knew that there was a deeper meaning in the teacher's words.

That’s also very true.

That’s actually what happened. She played with Xiao Huan and then left.

As a result, a big hole was left, and the world was changed.

The valley became the Garden of Eden.

It will definitely attract the attention of mortals.

It will end with the destruction of the Garden of Eden or the mass extinction of all mortals.

There will be no balance in the middle.

Because the treasure in the Garden of Eden is too precious. It is immortality.

Ordinary people will do whatever it takes to get it.

Just like many large animals that became extinct because of their valuable fur.

Those are just ordinary fortunes.

Now it is something that is really expensive.

To solve this problem and achieve a balance, she needs to introduce a third party.

She wants to find players who are truly willing to devote themselves to the game, who can find fun in the game, and who are willing to fight for the balance and fairness of the game.

The next day, Zhao Han came to Wen Rensheng's study. She bowed respectfully and said, "Teacher, I need your guidance."

Wen Rensheng raised his head.

A smile flashed in his eyes.

These two guys, that's it.

Just play it, don’t think too far ahead.

Having said that, if you think too far ahead, you won’t be able to play comfortably.

"You are finally here. I know you have been thinking about this problem." Wen Rensheng said.

Zhao Han nodded: "Yes, teacher. I need to find those players, but how can I find them? And how can I make them willing to participate in this game for a long time?"

Wen Rensheng smiled slightly, he stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and took down an old book. "This book records many ancient game rules and the psychology of players."

“You need to understand their needs and then create rules that will appeal to them.”

The so-called ancient, of course, refers to the players of the era before Wen Rensheng was reincarnated.

Compared to him now, it is indeed too old.

They have been players for hundreds of millions of years.

Zhao Han took the book, her eyes swept across the pages, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes.

"I understand, teacher. I need to create a gaming environment that interests them and give them enough motivation."

In the next few days, Zhao Han began to make rules.

Xiao Huan also quickly joined in.

She knew that it was she who caused the trouble after all.

She was involved after all.

"These rules must be fair, must be able to stimulate the enthusiasm of players, and must also be able to maintain the balance of the game in the long run."

"First, a level system is set up, and each player starts at the lowest level and increases their level by completing tasks and fighting."

“An honor system has been set up, and players can gain honor by helping others and making contributions.”

“Finally, an economic system is set up, and players can gain wealth through trade and production.”

"These transactions and wealth should be handled according to reality."

"Give them a realistic response."

"The most important thing is to establish a complete system of rules and regulations."

"All players must abide by these laws and violators will be severely punished."

After the rules were formulated, Zhao Han and his companion began to look for players.

She posts secret online messages through various small worlds.

It attracted many people who were interested in this game.

The two of them created a new identity.

Then a series of seminars were organized online to introduce the rules and gameplay of the game in detail.

The enthusiasm and sincerity of the two fooled many people.

More and more players think this is a virtual game.

They were excited at first.

Of course, many people also think it is fake.

But it does not prevent some idle people from joining the game out of curiosity.

You have to know that for some people, as long as the online name is a woman, they can chase after her and send her private messages.

What’s more, in this kind of game promotion, at least there is a princess and real CG.

Many people are attracted by the rich content and fair rules of this game, and they are willing to work for the prosperity and fairness of this game.

…………

In a bustling city, Li Jin is an ordinary white-collar worker, but he has a secret that is unknown to others - his love for games is almost crazy.

Whether it is role-playing, strategy management or action-adventure, he can always find fun in the virtual world.

He is a bachelor, and thanks to the advancement of urban technology, a robot for elderly care has recently been developed.

He no longer has to worry about retirement issues, and without his parents urging him to get married, he decided not to get married.

Of course, there are also many who are getting married, because there are also baby-care robots that can take care of their children all the way to college.

It's like doing nothing and just taking advantage of your adult children for nothing.

Of course, cities don’t need people to have children anymore.

This is why the elderly care robot was introduced.

Because the reproduction problem has been solved long ago.

Like him, many people have embraced the game.

After all, this is very cheap entertainment.

When a game called "Alien Valley" appeared on his computer screen, the trajectory of his destiny quietly changed.

"The Valley of the Otherworld" deeply attracted Li Jin with its realistic medieval background and mysterious adventure elements.

He put on a so-called virtual reality helmet and clicked to enter the game. Light flickered in front of his eyes and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a real medieval valley.

The air in the valley is fresh and moist, and the mountains in the distance are shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

Li Jin looked at his hands in surprise. He was no longer dressed like an urban white-collar worker, but was wearing a coarse linen shirt with an iron sword hanging around his waist.

"Is this really a game?" Li Jin muttered to himself, feeling both excited and nervous.

However, the game panel in front of him made him understand that this must be true.

Li Jin quickly accepted the fact that he had become an adventurer in the game world.

His first task was to go to the Novice Village in the Valley, which was the starting point for all new players.

He walked along a winding path, lined with dense forests, occasionally hearing birdsong and animal calls.

After walking for about an hour, a small village built of wood and stone appeared in his sight.

The villagers in the Novice Village were dressed simply, but they all looked healthy, ate well, and had neat and beautiful houses.

Just like the village girls.

This killed a lot of fun for him as a beauty player.

They looked at Li Jin, the outsider, with curiosity.

The village chief was a kind old man. He told Li Jin that in order to become a qualified adventurer, he must pass three trials.

These are all stipulated by the "wise men".

The first trial is a test of strength.

Li Jin needed to hunt a wild boar in the forest outside the village. He picked up the iron sword and stepped into the forest. With the experience in the game, he successfully completed the task.

The second trial is a test of wits, where he needs to solve an ancient puzzle and find the treasure hidden under the village.

Li Jin carefully observed the clues and finally found the treasure at the bottom of an abandoned well.

The third trial was a test of courage, where he had to face a ferocious wolf in the valley alone. After a fierce battle, Li Jin defeated the wolf with his agility and precise swordsmanship.

After passing three trials, Li Jin officially became an adventurer.

The village chief told him that there was an ancient secret hidden in the valley - immortality.

As long as the villagers stay in the valley and do not leave the fog and the protection of the wise men, they will not get sick or age.

You can live here indefinitely.

Just farm it well.

Of course, the price is that births become very rare.

There are only a few children in a hundred years.

Countless adventurers will come for this secret, but no one will be able to find it.

A desire ignited in Li Jin's heart, and he decided to pursue this secret.

Because he realized this magical game, I'm afraid the secret is even deeper.

The village chief also hinted to him that the power here could bring him back to reality.

He began to explore the valley, fighting various monsters and meeting players from different places.

Together they explored the ruins, solved puzzles, and gradually uncovered a corner of the mystery of immortality.

During one expedition, they discovered an ancient temple hidden deep in the valley.

There is an altar in the temple, on which is placed a yellowed book.

The moment Li Jin opened the book, a ray of light shot out from the book and surrounded him.

He felt a warm energy flowing into his body and his consciousness began to blur.

When he woke up again, he found himself back in the real world, but his memories of the game were unusually clear.

After returning to the real world, Li Jin discovered that he had acquired some of the abilities in the game. His body became stronger and his reactions became more agile.

He began to suspect that The Valley of Otherworld was more than just a game, it might be a portal to another world.

He decided to enter the game again to find the answer.

When he stood in the Novice Village again, he knew that his adventure had just begun.

Li Jin stood at the edge of the valley, looking at the fog on the distant horizon.

That is the fog that the village chief mentioned.

This is the protective layer of the valley.

But it is not complete protection, some people with clean hearts can come in.

This also allows some people to follow in.

His heart was filled with determination, and a new mission had been issued.

A greedy kingdom is executing a cunning plan to gain the secrets of the valley.

The other party wanted to infiltrate the valley through business and then take over the valley.

He is too familiar with this routine.

He must keep that greedy kingdom busy and busy so that it has no time to invade this peaceful valley.

He knew it would be a tough battle.

There's a kingdom across the way.

He is just an ordinary player.

But he also understood that only if the kingdom felt a constant threat could the people of the valley enjoy peace.

He took a deep breath, adjusted the scabbard on his back, and strode out of the valley.

…………

In the center of the kingdom, the king sat on his throne, brow furrowed.

Recently, his border village has been frequently attacked by a group of unidentified people who appear and disappear without a trace after each attack.

Those villages are all located near the Misty Valley and are actually a group of outpost villages.

Obviously, this was an act of revenge by the villagers.

"We must find these people and catch them all in one fell swoop!"

The king's voice echoed in the hall, his eyes flashing with anger and determination.

His generals agreed.

The nobles looked at each other.

They just pretended to agree.

Because they were also worried that the Misty Valley might have some terrible tricks.

They began to plan a large-scale encirclement and suppression operation.

They didn't know that all this was planned by Li Jin and other players.

Li Jin and the players adopted guerrilla tactics.

They split into small groups, launched quick strikes on the kingdom's border villages, and then quickly retreated.

They moved quickly and suddenly, leaving the kingdom's troops exhausted.

Their purpose is actually to steal the war materials.

For example, hay and soybeans.

They were still a little soft-hearted.

Seeing those villagers kneeling and begging, many female players couldn't bear it.

“Is this a real game?”

"This should be a time travel. They installed a panel for us and made it look like a game."

"Yeah, they have kids."

"I can't stand it. Even though I'm not a human in games, especially P games, this is reality."

However, some players who saw the benefits, regardless of gender, sneered:
"A bunch of idiots."

"Completing the mission will give you real-life power, and even immortality!"

"We didn't kill or kidnap anyone because the game has rules."

"It's already very merciful to just burn the military supplies now!"

During a night raid, Li Jin led his team to sneak into a village.

They quietly dispatched the sentries the king had posted there, then set fire to the village's military storehouses.

It contains soybeans, cowhide, arrows, herbs...

These are difficult to transport during wartime, so they are delivered in advance during peacetime.

At that time, they only need to have empty hands and can maneuver here quickly.

Flames shot up into the sky and the villagers fled their homes in panic. The scene was in chaos.

Li Jin and his team retreated in chaos, their figures disappearing into the night.

When the kingdom's army arrived, they saw only devastation and angry villagers.

As time went on, the kingdom's troops grew increasingly exhausted.

They didn't know when the enemy would appear again, so they could only patrol day and night to guard against possible attacks.
