Fantasy Game: Infinite City

After a period of calm, it was the beginning of March. The pre-match and preliminary rounds of the Infinite City guild competition had been gradually completed in the first two months. After deciding the teams that could continue to participate in the competition, the Infinite City issued an announcement. There were many specific contents, but the two most important ones were that the Infinite City would use some time to update all content to the new version, that is, the version using the new mode. During the update period, players can still log in to the Infinite City, but if some copies enter the update sequence, they will be temporarily inaccessible. According to the announcement, the user experience of the new mode has been very good, and nearly 90% of the players hope to use the new mode to play in the Infinite City. However, the old mode will not be deleted, but will be changed to a secondary gameplay that can be selected.

The second thing is that the Infinite City Guild Tournament will make some adjustments. They will re-match some players who cannot fully exert their strength due to using the new mode of the event copy. All such players can use the new mode non-event copy with the same rules without negative losses before the end of the update to adapt to the contrast between the new mode and the old mode. However, although there will be no punishment for failure in such copies, there will also be no rewards. It is just an option for some players to adapt to the new mode. Therefore, after all the teams in the Guild Tournament are familiar with the new mode copy, they will re-match. Of course, players who have passed the pre-game and preliminary rounds can choose not to participate, but after participating, the best result of the two results will be used for settlement.

All the special gains for players in the announcement will be terminated after the new version is completely updated. In order to allow all players participating in the Guild Tournament, whether they have passed the pre-game and preliminary rounds, to have enough time to adapt to the new mode, the official of Infinite City has not set a time for the update to be completed. Because the Guild Tournament used a new mode, which caused some players to not adapt and fail to show their due strength, Infinite City compensated all players who participated in the Guild Tournament. At the same time, during the Guild Tournament update, floating discounts were opened in the mall, and a gift including one job change qualification and two free skill point resets was sent to each participating player in the system mailbox. Players who did not participate in the Guild Tournament also received currency and some consumable potions for adaptation levels from Infinite City.

The players of Infinite City think that this announcement and compensation are full of sincerity. In addition, the participating players did not have any grievances in the first place. Therefore, after this announcement, the daily activity of Infinite City has increased by 5 percentage points compared to usual. You know, the daily activity of Infinite City is already very high, so even though it is only 5 percentage points higher, it is already quite difficult. This means that Infinite City has added more new players.

Now, in Infinite City, whether it is the in-game player lobby or the forum outside the game, there are many people discussing this update. There is even no one controlling the public opinion, and positive comments account for more than 80%. Almost all players of Infinite City, whether they are veterans or rookies, are discussing this new version update. But there are exceptions.

Take Han Zu for example. Although he had also heard about the update announcement, he had not even used the game cabin to log into Infinite City during this period of time, except for occasionally checking the forum of Infinite City. In recent times, because of the large amount of information obtained in Q City, Han Zu has been very busy. Not only does he need to go to various experimental bases and research institutes to help study those teratogenic creatures, but he also has to deal with the mess left behind after Infinite Company cleaned up the spies and traitors. Fortunately, Han Zu is still very interested in this kind of work, so he has been in a good mood recently. Because of this, the heads of some departments he often visits basically have a good personal relationship with Han Zu, and Han Zu has also gained more authority within the company, and even several small departments under the board of directors are the same.

A few days ago, the chairman met with Han Zu suddenly. He didn't say anything else. He only talked to Han Zu about one thing, which was about the establishment of the γ department under Han Zu's management, but actually only Han Zu. According to the chairman, the establishment of the department is entirely the responsibility of Han Zu, and there are basically no major restrictions. However, there are two points. The first is that after the department is officially established and the personnel are formed, except for Han Zu, other department employees still need to follow the normal procedures to carry out activities unless the situation is urgent or special. They cannot act first and then report like Han Zu. Han Zu felt that there was nothing wrong with it and agreed without hesitation.

The second point was more ambiguous. The chairman told Han Zu that all equipment, weapons, information and intelligence of the γ department could be ordered from other departments under the chairman, but other departments could not provide any assistance to the γ department. After saying that, he patted Han Zu on the shoulder, and then, Han Zu, who understood the meaning of the chairman's words, left the chairman's office.

The chairman's meaning was very simple. All the materials needed for the operation would be borne by the unlimited company. However, if something went wrong, Han Zu would have to find a way to make the problem have nothing to do with the unlimited company. However, from the chairman's tone, it seemed that he was only talking about the departments under his command. As for the board of directors, it was none of his business. After laughing and cursing the old fox, Han Zu left the headquarters of the unlimited company and returned to the warehouse on the outskirts of City C.

After sleeping in bed for a day or two, Han Zu, as the boss of the γ department, prepared to give all employees in the department a holiday. In fact, he just wanted to go out and play for two days, so Han Zu went directly to the airport and got on a private plane. However, one or two hours after the plane took off, before he could decide where to go, a video call came directly in. Han Zu turned on the holographic projection on the plane and started communicating with the other party.

"Mr. γ, this is the Biological Research Institute in Q City. You said before that you would notify you if there was any news about the investigation of the primitive forest in Q City. Now, after more than a month of searching and research, our researchers have obtained some very interesting information."

"Biological Research Institute? Sure! It's been built in just over a month, and it's already been completed?"

"Yes, if you are interested in the information we have obtained, you can come and see it for yourself."

"Okay, I'm just wondering what to do, I'll go to Q City now."

After resetting the route, Han Zu quickly arrived at Q City. It was very different from what he saw more than a month ago. Thanks to the powerful technology of the Unlimited Company, all damaged locations in the entire Q City have been studied. Under the governance of the Unlimited Company, Q City has regained its prosperity in just such a short time. Moreover, due to the impact of the previous civil war, Q City, which had a sharp decline in population, is now welcoming a new wave of immigration. After all, security can be guaranteed in the areas controlled by the Unlimited Company. At least this is already a normal society ruled by law, but it abides by the rules of the Unlimited Company.

But in general, Q City is definitely much better than before the civil war, and at this rate of development, it won't be long before the original hell on earth will turn into a paradise on earth. At least for many new immigrants, Q City is now a paradise.

As for the original rebel army, they have now become the new government army. They are now considered the basic armed forces under the Unlimited Company and are directly managed by the Unlimited Company's armed department in Q City. The leader of the new government army is the adjutant appointed by Han Zu before.

As for Led, because of his talent in business and management, he has now become a senior executive in the financial department of an unlimited company in Q City. He no longer has to worry about his life, which makes him feel much more relaxed. He has even gained a lot of weight now.

However, Han Zu did not take the time to "reminisce the past" or to tour the newly prosperous urban areas. His private plane landed directly at the original location of Led's secret base, which has now been rebuilt by Infinite Company and is now a biological research institute of Infinite Company in Q City. After the plane landed at the airport on the right side of the institute, the current head of the biological research institute greeted him and entered the institute together. Not long after, after arriving at the office of the head of the institute, the head began to communicate with Han Zu.

"Based on the research results and inferences we have drawn from the bodies of the deserters under Himos that we found in the primeval forest, the ecological community of the primeval forest, and the field investigations of our researchers, we are now 90% sure that there is indeed a giant special creature in the primeval forest in Q City. Although our people have not seen this creature with their own eyes, from the samples collected by the researchers and the investigation of various special traces in the primeval forest, we can be sure that no matter what this giant special creature is, it is not on our list of known creatures."

"Oh? Interesting. Show me the detailed investigation report."

"no problem."

The head of the Biological Research Institute handed Han Zu the terminal on the table. On it was a series of information about the primeval forest survey. Han Zu first checked the photos and videos of the bodies of the deserters found before. Through the wounds on their bodies, Han Zu discovered some abnormalities and raised questions to the head of the Biological Research Institute.

"You said there was only one giant creature? But look here, the wound on the body of this deserter is a laceration caused by the teeth of a large cat."

Han Zu stood up, walked to the person in charge, placed the terminal flat on the table in front of him, and pointed to the scene photo on the terminal. The deserter's body had obvious bite marks from a large cat. Then, Han Zu slid the terminal again and pointed to the second scene photo.

"The area around the wound on this corpse is black and purple, so he must have died of poisoning. Judging from the shape and depth of his wound, it must have been caused by some giant venomous snake or a similar creature."

The person in charge nodded, and then Han Zu switched between the photos and videos taken and recorded at the scene on the terminal, and expressed his judgment one by one.

"This wound should be caused by a vulture or other raptor. Look at the two footprints of creatures on the ground around it. The first one is obviously a primate footprint, but it is somewhat different from a human hand. It may be a creature like a gorilla. The footprint behind it is very similar to the hoof of a yak. ​​Look at the mark on the attacked tree trunk. It is more like a crocodile or a similar creature hitting the tree trunk with its tail. If you roughly calculate, there are at least six kinds of creatures here. I know that as the head of the Biological Research Institute, you will definitely not talk nonsense, so I am very curious, why do you think these six traces all come from the same creature?"

The person in charge nodded and continued to operate on the terminal. Soon, a portrait of this strange creature based on the information obtained, as well as a three-dimensional model restored based on the size comparison of the footprints and some other information, appeared on the terminal screen. While observing the portrait and model on the terminal with Han Zu, the person in charge explained to Han Zu the reason for this conclusion.

"In fact, at the beginning of the investigation, our researchers, including me, had the same idea as you do now, γ. However, as the research team brought back more trace samples from the primeval forest, we managed to compare the intervals between these footprints and the locations where they appeared. If there are so many species of creatures in the primeval forest at the same time as we initially thought, then the first problem that arises is the issue of survival suitability. We all know that crocodiles need to rely on water to survive, but within the entire primeval forest, there are not many swamps, rivers, or even streams, and a few streams that are not even as wide as an arm are not enough for crocodiles of this size to survive."

Han Zu lit a cigarette and handed one to the person in charge. The two continued to talk while smoking.

"Then there is this large bird of prey. We have calculated the tree density of the primeval forest. If it is a bird of prey of this size, it is impossible to fly in the primeval forest with such density. It can only walk on the ground. However, after a comprehensive investigation, there are no footprints of birds of prey of similar size in the primeval forest. In addition, there are hoof prints similar to those of giant yaks. The ecological environment of the primeval forest is not suitable for the survival of creatures of the same type, let alone creatures of this size."

"But there are always unexpected things in the world. Perhaps these creatures have experienced a certain degree of mutation."

"I also proposed this possibility at the time, but not long after, one of our research teams discovered this while collecting information inside the primeval forest."

The person in charge clicked on a video on the terminal and looked at the code. This video should be from the helmet on the protective suit worn by the researcher, with a built-in recorder. The location of the picture is a small open space in the primeval forest. The research team set up a temporary camp and bonfire here. Judging from the surrounding brightness and the blocking of sunlight by the trees in the primeval forest, the time when the recorder recorded this video should be at least after 4 pm.

"grrrrrrr..."

“Hiss~hiss~”

“Boom…Boom…”

Along with the cries of various strange creatures appearing in the picture, the picture began to move, and the wearer of the recorder was moving.
