King from scratch

After seeing the picture of the Huanzu, the deceived players naturally knew part of the truth, but before the Huanzu revealed their true colors, the players who had no clue about the hidden missions were still conscientiously preparing for the main storyline. I am dreaming of opening a pvp copy.

But the Huan Clan is not in a hurry, they warmly entertain the players, meet all their needs, and provide players with different kinds of tasks at a very high frequency.

Some of the tasks are genuine chaotic evils, such as the devil's request, asking players to provide them with as much breath as possible.

For another example, some npcs issued tasks about theft, killing, massacre and so on.

Considering the premise that players will return to the kingdom's temporary resurrection point after death, the targets of these tasks are all NPCs, and there is no task of killing each other between players.

But even so, the Huanzu still witnessed with their own eyes the indifference of the player race to death and killing.

The Ring Clan appreciates this very much.

At the same time, there are a steady stream of players pouring into the territory of the Huan tribe from the "parking lot" at the outermost edge of the South China Sea.

The city is on the verge of saturation, forcing the Huanzu to speed up.

On the New World, the Huanzu are not known for being powerful. Compared with other civilizations on the New World, the Huanzu who exist as conscious bodies are good at deception and control. It is precisely because of this that they survived the bloody New World down.

Disguise real ones?This description is an insult to the Huanzu's ability.

If the Huan Clan wanted to, they could weave a real dream for each other until the other died in the dream.

The moment they met the Huan Clan, it was already hard to tell the truth from the fake.

But falsehood is false after all. If the Huanzu were only good at this, the New World would have swallowed it to the bone.

In addition to the false, they still control the real.

[Original: Have you seen Inception?The little spinning top spins and spins, dreaming layer after layer~]

[Then, even if you are poor, you have to talk about the Basic Law.You said they are studying players, how do they study players? 】

[It’s impossible, you wake up from your dream and find yourself soaked in a jar... If this is the case, then planning to plagiarize "The Matrix" is a real hammer. 】

[What do cultural people call plagiarism?That's a tribute, you know? 】

[Stop making noise upstairs, if you think about it differently, you will understand.

How could the player wake up from the dream?This presupposition is impossible, and it is even more impossible to have a follow-up plagiarism plot of The Matrix. 】

[You underestimate the players too, don't you?Why can't the player wake up from the dream? 】

[Just because the player is at the bottom of the food chain in the game, even an npc is stronger than the player. 】

[Well, I think what you said makes sense, it is indeed impossible for the player to wake up. 】

[Landlord: How should I say it?Here's the situation...

One day, when our eyes opened and closed, the city suddenly disappeared, the void disappeared, even the shells disappeared, and an ugly suture monster appeared before our eyes {screenshot}, and then the plot naturally entered the next stage ...]

[?What does it mean when the eyes are opened and closed, the city disappears? 】

【no?The game has a bug? 】

[Original: The Huan tribe is more surprised than us...]

[This is okay?I suspect the game is really buggy. 】

[Having said this, I suddenly remembered that the worm mother seemed to die like this?When the player's eyes are opened and closed, the worm mother is dead, and the task is completed directly. 】

[Regardless of whether the game has a bug or not, you still didn't say it, why do you know that the Huanzu is studying players? 】

【Original: That’s not true, didn’t I say that we are in front of our eyes a bunch of ugly suture monsters?That's a big mirror. 】

[...? ? ? 】

[Gan, planner dog, you deserve it! 】

[How did this pass the trial?Does no one care about planning more and more dark brain holes? 】

[Then I'm interested, can players be transformed?Please be sure to explain in detail. 】

The Huan people are very cautious. This is the most important way of survival in the New World. Most civilizations that are not cautious die very quickly.

It is precisely because of this that the Huanzu chose to proceed step by step in their contact with players.

Even though the player is so incredibly weak, they still resist the urge to directly dig out the player's consciousness.

Whether this is a good thing for players is unknown, but it is definitely a wise choice for Huanzu.

They managed to avoid the possibility of an entire race disappearing from the New World.

But it did not avoid the doomed plot where the player wakes up from the false dream.

Players really can't break free from the real illusion set by Huanzu, but the game's main console can.

On the top of the mountains, when He Xingwen was talking to Jin, at the outermost edge of the distant continent, due to the large number of players, the illusion was on the verge of collapse. The Huanzu had to speed up the progress of "research", go deep into the deepest part of the player's consciousness, and explore this in the player's eyes. The truth about the so-called "game" in the book.

The main console of the game directly interrupted this behavior fundamentally, wiped out the illusion, and awakened all trapped players.

The Huan Clan who are about to do a big fight:?

A player who suddenly came from a busy city to a dark environment: ?

Two question marks collided, and no one took the lead.

In front of players who are so weak that they don't need to be vigilant at all, the restraint of the Huanzu is aimed at the unknown existence that directly destroyed the illusion.

After all, in the New World, the races that fail to do so die very quickly.

The ring clan searched for possible powerful enemies, and did not regard the player as an object to be vigilant-of course, they were not.

The players looked at the suddenly changing environment in a daze.

It was dark at first, and after the vision got used to the darkness a little bit, the player could vaguely see that it seemed to be a closed cave.

In front of them was a "mirror" that radiated light, reflecting the appearance of a stitched ugly monster.

The monster's huge body is chubby, without the organs that humans should have, it is completely a big ball made up of small balls, and there are obvious stitches on the body...

"What is this..." The player who spoke first stared at the "mirror" and closed his mouth.

Because the ugly monster followed with a sound.

"Damn it?" Another player's voice followed, he shook, and the huge dumpling also shook.

Immediately afterwards, countless noisy voices rang out.

"Fuck? What's going on? Have we become a big group?"

"Aren't I in the Huanzu city? Why is it so dark here? Where is this?"

"Why does it show on my personal panel that I am currently in a special state?"

The dumpling started to shake irregularly, but it was always firmly fixed here, without moving an inch.

Having failed to find the culprit for destroying the illusion, the Huanzu finally set their sights on the player.

Caution is their strong point, and they still do it at this moment.

Little lights and shadows lit up, and clusters of floating fluorescent lights emerged in the dark "cave".

The doubts of the players flooded in, until now, most of the players still didn't understand what happened.

"Huan Clan? What's going on here?"

"Where is this?"

"The city is gone?"

"How did we become like this?"

The Huan tribe has never encountered such a stupid race. As far as the ecology of the New World is concerned, this level of idiots has probably become a material for other civilizations to advance before they have developed.

But how could they reproduce on distant continents?

It seems that the continent is indeed weakening.

The Huanzu obtained enough information from the players in the previous illusions, enough for them to outline the mainland and the prototype of another world where the player's race lived.

As conscious bodies, the Huan people do not need to go through dialogue to obtain information. They can obtain the most authentic information from each other's conscious bodies more directly.

Of course, this ability is also limited by the strength of the opponent's mental power - but players have no concept of mental power at all, so for the Huanzu, this is like being completely open in front of them, allowing them to pick and choose to obtain information.

Of course, these are superficial information, and the most core information that the Huanzu want, needs to be obtained in a further way.

For example, directly dissecting the conscious body of an intelligent creature...

The cautious Huan Clan did not choose to do this, mainly because they thought that if the player pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, then the extreme counter-kill might lead to the destruction of the entire race.

So they chose a gentler way, by building illusions, step by step into the player's consciousness, to obtain more information.

Until they began to explore the truth about this "game" deep in the player's consciousness, this more gentle way suddenly came to an end.

A certain powerful force directly destroyed the illusion built by the Huanzu, and even caused several Huanzu who maintained the illusion to perish due to damage to their consciousness.

This sudden development was not expected by anyone, and while the Huan Clan was vigilant, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It is also very difficult for them to believe that the player, a race that dares to enter the gaps in the world, is really weak to such an unbelievable level.

And now, with the other boot on the ground, and the player revealing the truth hidden behind a weak mask, they, too, can put aside those temptations and start a real conversation.

Fluorescence flickered, and the voice of the Huan Clan sounded in the cave.

"Since you have already found out, just click on it directly." The Huan clan argued endlessly in the internal communication that the players could not spy on, and at the same time said to the players with confidence: "There are only two choices in front of you: cooperation or cooperation. die."

Undead Player: ?

The large group of stitched monsters continued to shake, and the players sensed something was wrong from the npc's words, most of them shut their mouths, and stared at the group of fluorescent lights with "Wow, so the plot has started".

The Huan tribe can easily perceive the fluctuations in the players' consciousness, which is an instinct for them.

Some intelligent creatures have difficulty accurately distinguishing each other's thoughts due to racial factors, even with fluctuations in the consciousness body.

But players...

To be honest, for the Huan Clan, the player is completely transparent in front of them, and the Huan Clan has completely passively acquired the countless thoughts that flashed by the player at that moment.

The consciousness fluctuations of countless players converged into noisy inner thoughts, which were distinguished one by one by the Huanzu, and the information filtering was completed in an instant.

"Is this group of npcs fools?" "I'm going to be addicted soon, I don't know how long this plot will be." "What's for dinner today?" "I heard that the kingdom is very lively, why don't you die and go back to join in the fun? ""I haven't finished my homework yet." "I quarreled with my girlfriend again, how can I coax them?" After a lot of useless information like this, the Huanzu could only distinguish two or three useful information from the voices of the players in front of them.

"Cooperate? Become the domain owner? Isn't this taking off your pants and farting? Isn't it superfluous? Isn't that what we are here for?"

"Is there a special plot? Don't they want to become domain masters? Why is the npc silent? Hurry up!"

"Our special state...couldn't be used by NPCs for experiments, right? Are we really deceived by NPCs? Brother from the forum is right? Huanzu are bad people?"

Huan Clan who has judged the player's voice: He really succeeded in pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. Even in this situation, he successfully pretended to be fluctuating in his own consciousness. It really shouldn't be underestimated!

The players didn't know that the Huanzu had finished reading their minds. After waiting for a while, before the Huanzu could say another word, they got impatient and yelled: "You haven't said, what is the content of the cooperation?"

"Help us get into the mainland."

The scene was quiet for two seconds before the players reacted and whispered.

"What? Don't they want to be domain owners?"

"The mainland is there, you want to go there by yourself, do you need help?"

"You can come and go freely in the gap between the worlds, how difficult is it to enter the mainland?"

"Isn't this group of npcs trying to lie to us again?"

After a player raised this point with full vigilance, the players' attention was diverted from the Huanzu.

How disorderly the players are, it can be seen from this,

"What does it mean to lie to us again? The Huanzu also lied to us before?"

"Let me just say, the current special situation is not right no matter how you look at it."

"This ugly suture monster, isn't the Huanzu doing inhumane research on us?"

"What? Then they have some ideas, but they are not very good at aesthetics."

"Make us into a big ball, what are they trying to do?"

"No, there are so many players coming to the Huan Clan. Although this stitched ball looks quite big, it won't be able to stitch all the players, right?"

"That's right, I said why do we feel that we are not so noisy, so there are few people?"

"What about the other players in the Huanzu territory?"

Seeing the players discussing in front of them, the Huanzu paused for two seconds before forcibly turning the topic back to the topic: "For you, of course you can go to the mainland if you want, but for us, at the end of the gap in the world , there is an unbreakable barrier that does not allow the civilizations at the outermost edge of the continent to pass through."

"Otherwise, do you think, why are there so many new civilizations crowded at the outermost edge of the continent instead of flooding into the continent together?"

The players thought about it along the lines of the Huan Clan, and felt that what they said made sense.

"That's right, there isn't even a piece of land here, and normal people will run to the mainland."

"No, there is land here, aren't we in a cave?"

"Co-authoring the first scene where we saw those shells floating in the air was also an illusion?"

"I don't believe in the Huan Clan!"

The players yelled without any focus or cooperation.

At least that's how the Ring Clan see it.

The Huan Clan already knew enough about the player, but they were very sure that the part of the information they knew was the player's disguise of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger—because in the part of the information they knew, the player simply...

how to say?Break through the cognition of the Huanzu.

Gathering all the weaknesses of human nature, the devil would be ashamed to see it. If hell really exists, it must be opened for players as soon as possible.

This weak, stupid and extremely vicious creature is beyond the cognition of the Huanzu, and they firmly deny that this is the player's true face.

Here, it is necessary to clarify for the players that the Huanzu understands the fluctuations of the player's consciousness body through the fluctuations of the player's mind when doing tasks in the city.

And these tasks are basically acts of burglary, theft, and massacre, so the players that the Huanzu finally learned about are of course the players in the game state.

Most of the players in the game state are chaotic evil, especially this group of players are still here for the pvp copy.

Pvp Maniac: Killing?Just kidding, I can kill a hundred of them!

The dungeon screened the player group at the beginning, so that the Huanzu finally got such an exaggerated conclusion.

And this exaggerated conclusion triggered a chain reaction, making the Huanzu regard it as a disguise for this special creature...

Huan Clan: I've never seen a creature so weak and bloody bad, is it my fault?

Thus, a very coincidental misunderstanding was born.

And this misunderstanding made the Huan Clan gradually lose patience with the player's non-cooperative behavior of pretending to be stupid at this moment.

"I advise you to make a choice as soon as possible," the Huanzu warned the group of players: "Otherwise...we will have to get more useful information from your consciousness."

Although the Huan clan's ruthless appearance is very imposing, but they are facing a group of players.

Even if it is sewn into a big ball, it is a player who can calmly ask "Why did things become like this".

Their warnings can only get the players to shout in disorder, which is really normal.

"Conscious body? Did the plan set us to have a conscious body?"

"This should mean that all intelligent creatures have consciousness?"

"That Huan Clan is quite powerful?"

"Wait a minute, don't make any noise. What useful information does the Huanzu want to get from us? Why don't they send a mission directly?"

"That's right, if you don't give me a task, it will be difficult for me to do it."

"It's not impossible for you to go to the mainland. We didn't say we won't help you, but you should send a mission anyway."

"Send a mission for anything, we can't help them, the Huan tribe is the villain boss, we stand firm!"

"As long as he sends a mission, I dare to accept it!"

"And why am I in a special state? Why do you want to toss us into a big ball?"

"How can I remove the special status?"

"Wait, so where are the other players?"

Disorder, noise, and many problems are coming, which is the normal state of players-who made the Huanzu not send tasks.

Ring Tribe doesn't trigger quests because the game's main console "forbids" such quests from appearing among players, which keeps the world order and the game running.

But the Huanzu and the players knew nothing about it, so the Huanzu, who were irritated by the player's non-cooperation, decided not to limit themselves to verbal threats, they decided to give the player a little color.

Fluorescent lights floating in the darkness stuck to the cave.

The voice of the Huan Clan sounded: "Since you have decided to pretend to be stupid to the end, let us see what secrets you are hiding."

The cave trembled violently.

The huge dumpling began to sway in place due to the shaking of the ground, but it was always firmly fixed on the ground. Even though the big dumpling tried so hard to stand up from the ground, there was still no change in position.

The Huan Clan's tone was even a little cheerful: "We have thoroughly understood your body structure and heard enough of your explanations about the 'game', now, we want to see the secrets deep in the consciousness body under this weak disguise. "

"What is this game! What is the earth!"

With the Huanzu's words, an inch of darkness was torn open in the closed cave.

The players who just heard the words "game and earth" from the npc's mouth subconsciously looked at the gap where the light came in.

They made eye contact with a giant eyeball.

For this huge eyeball, this small gap can only accommodate its incomplete part of the image, and that exaggerated and grotesque scene seems to be the only eyeball outside this "cave", and it is impossible to see anything except the huge eyeball. any existence of.

The moment the players met their eyes, all the "useless" etheric shells were cut open, revealing the conscious body that constitutes the etheric mass...

If they go one step further, the Huanzu will be able to dissect the player's consciousness body and get everything they want to know, but before that, the game's main console will first destroy the potential factors that disrupt the normal operation of the game.

But before that, before that eyeball saw the player's consciousness and had no time to obtain relevant information, the weak player had already died because of zero health.

Once again, the Huan tribe has survived in the New World for so long, and has never seen such a weak race.

Is it reasonable to die as soon as the conscious body emerges?

The huge stitched monsters were instantly wiped out by the player's death, leaving only wriggling caves and bewildered ring tribes.

The cave is closed again.

Right next to the cave where the player died, another cave opened up again, and the giant eyes cast their sights on it, staring at the stitched tentacles made up of the players.

This time, they learned their lesson and didn't cut open the shell as rudely as the first time.

They are as cautious as they used to test the player when the player fell into an illusion. They carefully opened a hole in the tentacles and dug out a player's consciousness...

The player dies, the tentacles are wiped out, and the cavern closes again.

The new cave squirmed and opened, the huge eyeballs cast their sights, trying to dissect the consciousness body, the player died, and the experimental body was wiped out...

This process can't stop looping, batch after batch of players died, and batch after batch of stitched experimental bodies were wiped out. When the number of surviving players dropped sharply, the Huanzu finally realized one thing: for the race of players, there is nothing hidden deep in the ether. The conscious body in the group means death.

It's not a problem of dissection techniques, nor is it a problem of the size of the exposed area. The fundamental problem is that the player is too weak to bear the pressure of exposing the conscious body to the Huanzu.

As a race that can use their consciousness to travel through the gaps in the world, the Huanzu have an in-depth understanding of their consciousness—not only their own consciousness, but also the consciousness of other races. They have conducted targeted research.

But they never encountered such a special case of players.

The Huan Clan was even puzzled: How could a race die just by exposing its consciousness?

The repeated cycle stopped, and the huge eyeballs slowly closed and blurred again.

We must find a way to prevent them from being so weak that they will die as soon as they reveal their conscious bodies.

The ring clan reached an agreement.

After a while, the few remaining players in the Huan clan's territory suddenly ushered in a turning point.

The suture monster, which was confronting the Huan tribe, "coincidentally" broke through the immobility restriction, and rolled down the extremely dark cave, leading to an unknown area.
