American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

#261 - Paradise Dispute and Strange

Regardless of the power struggles and turbulent waves at the upper levels, the hottest topic in reality remains the test for the "Paradise" series. After its launch, instead of gradually decreasing in popularity as everyone predicted, it experienced a vibrant and upward surge.

It was even more intense than the previous hype generated by various forces desperately spending money on marketing campaigns.

Previously, the audience was passive.

Now, the audience is active.

Overwhelming discussions about "Paradise" have dominated all information channels. As long as you are not isolated from the world, you can find information about it on any website, forum, or media outlet.

Some previously popular themed forums have repeatedly crashed due to the influx of traffic in recent days. One after another, these themed forums collapsed.

The only one that remained resilient was the official forum specially set up by S.H.I.E.L.D., supported by Stark and Hebron's technology.

What kind of popularity is it when thousands upon thousands of posts appear every second, and the number of replies can accumulate to thousands of levels in a short period? Everyone who saw this data couldn't hide their surprise.

Hebron and Stark's network technology is sufficient to block and filter all duplicate and invalid content and users. It can be said that everyone active in the forum is a real, active person. Many of them are the first users of "Paradise." The first news about the dozens of lucky ones who gained power was revealed in this forum run by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel tried their best to suppress the hype and conduct post-event processing at the first time, it is clear that the news has spread on a large scale, and these actions have made those who did not believe it become suspicious.

After all, "Paradise" is too real, as real as a real world. Although many mechanisms and details in it are constantly reminding you that this is not reality, people who enter it still often confuse it with reality.

This assignment, created by the planet's top game designers locked in a small dark room racking their brains, has become the favorite of all game enthusiasts and participants as soon as it goes online, with the blessing of data dimensions.

The only thing that makes some people dissatisfied is that the first batch of game worlds launched are too monotonous. They are all thriller-type plot worlds! Some can even experience some familiar classic horror movie plots in them.

In simple terms, if you don't have a strong heart, you will be scared to death in this Paradise world where all sensory experiences are quite real.

The reality is that countless users who entered on a large scale in the first batch were scared unconscious, scared to cry, and scared to be kicked out of the world and eliminated. They mostly experienced real fear in these Paradise worlds.

Some plot worlds, even without any ghosts or monsters, or even without any obvious enemies, are enough to make people suspicious and self-destruct with just the atmosphere and environment.

The designers seemed to be retaliating, using all means in their respective fields to frantically stuff scary links into the worlds they created.

But fortunately, they are not so insane as to give an impossible ending. They also hid many easter eggs and details for users, so that smart and careful strategists can use them to decipher or pass the level.

Finally, scores are given based on performance.

Of course, what they don't know is that the worlds they designed will be compared and arranged according to their excellence and difficulty in the data dimension, and then a certain connection will be established under the secondary processing of the data dimension.

Ultimately, users will also give evaluations based on their performance.

The method is not new, but it is indeed useful.

Profit and reputation are always irresistible driving poisons for human beings.

At least currently, the most popular person and post on the forum, with the highest number of replies and the greatest reputation, are the outstanding individuals who received high ratings among the first batch of users, and the strategy groups that shared the strategies.

The reason why those dozens of lucky ones who gained power can attract so much attention and turmoil is also because they are the top figures among the first batch of users.

In Nightmare's words: These people are very compatible with my attributes! Worth remembering and investing in.

Therefore, under this cognition, users on the forum have launched highly discussed associations and speculations, and the conclusion that has gained the most recognition is that as long as the first pass score is excellent, you can gain supernatural power!

As for where this supernatural power comes from?

Who cares?

Perhaps it is some kind of official experiment, or something else. As long as you can indeed let me gain supernatural power, then I can temporarily ignore the reason.

So now the place where S.H.I.E.L.D. feels the pressure is that more and more people are demanding that "Paradise" be reopened as soon as possible, and that virtual cabins be reinvested.

As for whether there are any dissenting voices pouring cold water or trying to cause trouble?

The waves are not big.

As a major project endorsed by the Council and many countries, and linked to a large number of the planet's top corporate giants, those who have objections, under the initial information bombardment at the beginning of the launch, have already jumped out, and those who should shut up have been silenced.

As for the game designers who participated in the construction of the "Paradise" world, they were dizzy and gained a lot of reputation and popularity. All public and private contact channels were bombarded by countless people who wanted popularity and insider strategies 24 hours a day. They had just gained freedom from S.H.I.E.L.D. and couldn't wait to leave and go home. In a short period of time, they had to pack their things and desperately send a distress signal to S.H.I.E.L.D., strongly requesting that S.H.I.E.L.D. send someone to take them back and let them resume their extremely beloved work!

But most of them, before S.H.I.E.L.D. could come, were either taken away and "protected" by their own national officials, or mysteriously disappeared in front of people and fell into the hands of the dark world.

The value shown by "Paradise", and the lure of gaining supernatural power by passing the first level excellently, is enough to make many forces greedy for it, and take huge risks to take action. And as these designers who constructed part of the "Paradise" world, there is no doubt that they have become a huge sweet pastry.

The ending of many forces entering the game is that small-scale chaos begins to intensify. Especially those game designers feel that their safety is not guaranteed. Some more daring ones even wanted to sneak into S.H.I.E.L.D. to steal all the design plans of "Paradise", but the result was of course not very pleasant.

Nick Fury, who retired from the hearing of Ross and others, felt more absurd than ever after capturing the invaders and obtaining this answer.

And this sense of absurdity, after Strange and Luke revealed the next plan to him and the Council, he immediately felt normal.

Want to make the new currency the currency of "Paradise"?

Others don't know, Nick raises both hands in approval! It's best to add more restrictions, and give S.H.I.E.L.D. more power. For example, S.H.I.E.L.D. can forcibly collect some of the new currency obtained by users, just as a recharge for "Paradise." Anyway, his S.H.I.E.L.D. can be regarded as one of the officials of "Paradise", right?

If that doesn't work, embed a module for trading new currency and real currency internally!

Let me pay off the debt first!

Otherwise, Nick feels very dangerous every time he sees Mephisto at the alliance meeting.

As for those designers who are under official surveillance or disappeared?

Nick didn't intend to intervene in a big way. Of course, he can ask other officials to hand over the designers in the name of S.H.I.E.L.D., or find out the whereabouts of those missing designers, but the other party can also play mud and yin and yang, and use various rhetoric and delaying tactics to perfunctory him. As for those dark worlds that may have taken action? That is even more a bottomless quagmire. There are all kinds of forces mixed in it, and a group of old silver coins are hidden behind it like nesting dolls. Even S.H.I.E.L.D. had several vests in it earlier. The water is too deep.

Anyway, the world information mastered by those designers can only be used as a simple reference. In fact, under the addition of data dimensions, it will not affect "Paradise." That little reference can be regarded as a little benefit for those supporters.

Instead of having some messy and chaotic organizations in "Paradise", it is better to let these official countries that know the bottom line go to the top, and still form an external power structure within "Paradise."

They are all acquaintances, so it is easier to discuss things, right?

For example, exchange and acquire new currency with a certain ratio of real currency?

This can be discussed internally first, and then after "Paradise" is really running, it will take advantage of the situation to harvest a wave in the early stage and form a thinking inertia.

As for the financial problems and real problems caused by this?

That is what those financial practitioners and politicians need to consider, not what he should consider.

There is no doubt that this time "Paradise", in addition to the super-standard existence of Nightmare, the biggest beneficiary and the greatest future potential is undoubtedly his S.H.I.E.L.D.

No wonder some people are so jealous that they fight hard and desperately to pick peaches.

It is conceivable that if the other party has gone all out, there is no possibility of withdrawing. If they do not obtain control of S.H.I.E.L.D. here this time, then they will definitely find it back elsewhere. This is certain. The power gathered by General Ross and his gang may be difficult to shake the current S.H.I.E.L.D., but it is still a difficult behemoth in the face of other individuals and forces. The gang who managed to knead this force together must be looking for a common interest [platform].

In fact, those people didn't keep Nick waiting for too long. They formed an organization with some overlap in function with S.H.I.E.L.D. through various means and interest transfer and exchange after paying a certain price.

H.A.M.M.E.R.

Ross, as the first director of H.A.M.M.E.R., even created an elite team called "Thunderbolts" to compare with Nick's Avengers. Different from S.H.I.E.L.D., H.A.M.M.E.R.'s funding and shareholders have many corporate giants involved, and even Norman Osborn intervened in a big gamble.

For the Council, S.H.I.E.L.D., which owns a small share of the new currency, is naturally irreplaceable and is still the son. But under the pressure of all parties, the balance of interests and consideration, it is not impossible to form a backup. At least it can make Nick and S.H.I.E.L.D. have a little sense of urgency, even if it is a complete success.

The old fritter Nick naturally understands this. He has never really regarded the H.A.M.M.E.R. built by Ross and them as a threat. He wouldn't before, and he wouldn't now that "Paradise" has provided a new channel for obtaining currency, and he has taken full advantage of it.

...

Silent City.

On the Dimensional Rainbow Bridge.

The gorgeous halo, like mixed paint splashed on the wall, polluted a piece.

A familiar figure, carrying a thin body, jumped out of the halo quickly. The next moment the Rainbow Bridge was completely closed.

"Master Strange, you just went out for a trip, how did you bring back a, um, girl?" Luke blinked his eyes, looking at the dusty Strange, and the strange girl standing beside him, a little inexplicably.

"The situation is a bit bad, she is Dormammu's daughter Clea." Strange carefully checked his body and energy. After finding no hidden dangers, he breathed a sigh of relief and introduced her to Luke in a slightly relaxed manner.

"Fortunately, you pulled me back in time, otherwise..."

Speaking, as if thinking of some terrible consequences, Strange shivered involuntarily as if his whole body was exposed to the cold air of the ice and snow.

He almost achieved the first person to bathe in the abyss energy as the Supreme Mage!

"We just asked you to talk business, but you abducted someone's daughter?"

Luke's words immediately made Strange roll his eyes. The Cloak of Levitation floated up from behind Strange, made an emergency stop in mid-air, and rushed towards Luke.

There is also a red ribbon beside Luke, which suddenly窜 out from behind him like a poisonous snake preying at a critical moment, and fought with the Cloak of Levitation.

"Why is it here?" Strange frowned and looked at the red ribbon. He had a very bad impression of this ribbon, because the first time they met, it偷袭ed and slapped him several times. If it weren't for the protection of the Cloak of Levitation, he felt that his teeth would have been knocked out.

"Taking care of the child is too tiring. Becky tossed it a little bit. I brought it out to let it out." Luke didn't care about the ribbon that was fighting fiercely with the Cloak of Levitation. Anyway, a war is inevitable when two spiritual magical equipment meet.

As little Becky grows up, her destructiveness and difficulty are also increasing day by day. Except for being honest in front of him and Ina, and being able to be disciplined, Venom, who has been promoted to a professional nanny, said that they are simply little devils who are rotting with badness when they are not around!
