doomsday beta

There is only one day for the Qixi Festival event, and the group did not find an opportunity to break in until it crossed zero.

At the end of the event, the gate of the central city was closed to the players again under the bright sunshine in the game, and non-residents of the city were not allowed to enter.

Jiang Cheng had no choice but to find the ark.

As a talent recruited by Central City, at this time, he was packing the finished Xinxiangshichengwan and checked the latest announcement just released by the game.

The registration deadline for the cross-server battle in full swing, the published rules show:

Within the specified time, each participating service area will provide a list of 500 people, including a team of 120 people.When casualties occur and the casualties are severely downgraded and unable to undertake the game, other personnel will join the team as substitutes.

Both the opposing team and the opposing map will be drawn by the NPC.

The winning team will get the treasure box presented by the game. The prizes are all S-level, and you will know how to open them.

It looks like nothing, but now the word "gift" really makes players who understand the nature of the game subconsciously shudder.

But for this, the game side has only one sentence:

All interpretation rights belong to "Noah's Ark".

"Dong dong!"

Jiang Cheng knocked on the door of the ark.

His request is not difficult.

Although only Ark can settle in Central City, Jiang Cheng didn’t intend to tire Ark’s non-staff personnel from taking risks alone. He just asked him to enter Central City with a temporary partner in the form of husband and wife naturalization, and Jiang Xun would do the rest.

Ark agreed.

Dual household registration is possible in the game.

After Ark brought Jiang Xun to Central City, there was an additional NPC panel on the control page. After switching identities, it would show that the player's account was offline.

It's just different from the whiteboard where Jiang Xun simply changed his domicile, the Ark's NPC page has been unlocked, and under the name is the position column, which says waiting for appointment.

In the NPC communication mailbox, there is already an email telling him to pick up the things.

The NPC who took them through the formalities led the two to the assigned central city residence and left.

From the window, you can overlook the inner courtyard of the garden building next door.

Similar to the layout of the school in Shanhai Town, the colleges with a main road extending in all directions are no longer teaching schools, but the administrative departments of the central city.

It can be seen that, firstly, most of the people walking in it are high-level NPCs wearing masks; secondly, the location written in the notice is in the No. [-] courtyard.

At this point, when the two of them walked outside the gate, there were no NPCs watching them—these people seemed to be able to automatically distinguish themselves from the players.Jiang Xun didn't know the reason for this, but Fang Zhou discovered the basic functions on the NPC panel and investigated.

It can make the player have a clear view in front of the NPC.

After entering the door, the two parted ways. Jiang Xun followed the main road and went deep inside to find things, while Fang Zhou went to the No. [-] courtyard.

At the end of the winding path, there is a conspicuous teleportation stone.

White light flickered, and an NPC wearing a mask walked out, looked up and saw Fang Zhou, the mask covered his expression, and saw those eyes staring deeply at Fang Zhou for a while, then turned and left without saying anything.

Fang Zhou walked all the way into the yard, there was no NPC to receive him, only a label next to the box that had been placed to indicate the owner [Ark].

Open is a white mask.

There was no need for Fang Zhou to hide his head and show his tail. He put the package in and turned around to leave.

Jiang Xun over there is also going well.

At the end of the main road is the target office, but it is separated from the place where the books are placed.

There are two small doors on the left and right, leading to the attic of the library and the residence of the city lord in the backyard. The tower is built there, which is a "restricted area" that cannot be entered.

There was no sound and no one was living inside, and Jiang Xun had no intention of exploring it for the time being.

The portraits were not as nervous as Jiang Cheng thought, they were stacked high in the office cabinet.It just so happened that an NPC with a lower-level map came to get a replacement after the scroll was damaged.

Jiang Xun observed around and found that there was little communication between the waiting public NPCs, and the NPCs on duty did not seem to have a close relationship with the NPCs of the lower-level maps. The slowdown was obvious, and the attitude was even lazy and perfunctory. It was just a routine question and answer between duties. Just register.

Jiang Xun's insertion was not abrupt, and the NPC on duty didn't even realize that he was a stranger. As long as he had the identity of an NPC, he made up the source of Fable Village and got the painting smoothly.

The only doubt is that not only Chinese speakers but also foreign language speakers came to get the map.

After the two returned to Dongshi, they summed up their doubts and handed them over to Jiang Cheng for investigation.

There was only one portrait left, and I looked it over and over several times, but found no hidden clues.The young master pondered the thickness against the light, and it didn't look like there was an interlayer, so he could only look at the thoughtful Jiang Cheng, "Do you really think there are clues in this painting?"

Jiang Cheng looked at Fang Zhou, "What do you think?"

Fang Zhou didn't intend to give any reference, "You can do whatever you want, anyway, you can get this painting again."

However, this is an opinion in itself.

Jiang Cheng settled down, and said to the young master, "It's burned."

The red tongue of fire swallowed into the corner of the scroll, and the paper gradually became hot and reddened. The fire light engulfed the face along the edge like the face in the center of the painting, but it did not easily burn into black ashes.

When the flames turned into stars and dissipated, a white light swept across the scroll, and the mask covering the face of the person in the painting disappeared, revealing a young and handsome face with a black mole at the end of the eye and a burn scar on the chin. The chief planner of that event was Jiang Jingze.

Unexpected and expected.

Jiang Cheng asked the son to contact his superiors, and asked the people who were arranged in other service areas to check whether the pictures they hung were the same as those in the Chinese service area.

"You suspect..."

Jiang Cheng nodded without waiting for him to finish, "It feels like the answer to the mystery is about to be revealed."

Jiang Xun didn't care what charade the two played, he only cared about the next cross-server battle.

In the list of event-related NPCs updated on the rule explanation page, the most prominent C position is the general decision-maker of the event, and the appointee is still pending.

Several people thought of the chief event planner of the expansion pack, Jiang Jingze.

Not surprisingly, it was him.

Due to the time difference, by this time, the lists provided by each service area have been released one after another, but for ordinary people, most of the names are very unfamiliar.

For the young master and others, these ordinary names are likely to be the "secret weapons" hidden in the armies of various countries.

The newly added section on the updated cross-server battle page quickly confirmed this.

First, the gamble board section was opened. Players can place bets to support the teams and players, and win props and rewards. At this time, the team pairing is empty, waiting for the lottery decision.

There is also a live broadcast section, where the cross-server battle is broadcast live across the entire network. This page now hangs a large list of public announcements in each service area. Click on the name on the list to enter the character card.

Every contestant was stripped to the bottom by the game.

The narration of the candidates on the list alone shocked the whole family of players.

For example:

Name: Du Hai

Affiliation: Navy-Tenglong Commando Team [-]

Glorious achievements: gold medal in the shooting event of the 211th Military World Games, first prize in the international special forces exercise competition, participated in the Aegean Sea operation, the [-] evacuation incident...

Grade: A-

The leopard cat commando, the green shell special forces, etc. in the main team are all mysterious military forces at the level of urban legends. Netizens only hear about their great reputation, but they have never seen the real appearance. The strength judged by the game is: S+, S -.

Even a few Russian and American soldiers are cutting-edge talents at the confidential level. Even a well-organized person like the son has never heard of it, but his level has reached the appalling 3S level. experiment.

The records are also full of confusing and unheard of top-secret X incidents, and Operation Black Crow, which are full of stories just by looking at them.

Of course, there are also some public executions.

There are quite a few players on the shortlist whose strength hovers outside C.

There is even an F-level rich man, who is tall and muscular on the card. Fang is very bluffing among the players, but the low score is obviously a sham made by protein powder, and he is ridiculed by the crowd.

This also shows that the current regional situation is complicated. For example, in the US service area, among the 120 main personnel, there are 3S military personnel, and there are also 12 free teams organized by rich people, gangs, and state forces. It is like a mess.

Such a list produced by various forces and negotiations is just another resource allocation. It is difficult to expect these players with different backgrounds to unite as one and unite outward.

And the big list of China's service areas, from top to bottom, is mostly affiliated to the military. Even the Jiang brothers who entered the list as substitutes in order to make up for the public officials' lack of understanding of the game have a disaster response organization, and the country's control can be seen. .

Unlike the contestants with military backgrounds, players whose strength rating is not C, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, drug use, drunk driving, and hit-and-runs have all become the targets of everyone in the glory record.

I don't know if it's the black humor of the game, or pure irony.

Since the live broadcast page was updated, in less than half an hour, the homepage of the page was filled with dense barrages, and players were dazzled by the mix of various languages. Fortunately, there is a translation function provided by the game warmly under each barrage.

"...It has to be said that the benefits of the one-party system are reflected in this, the national talents with a lot of water."

"China's cohesion has always been great! The comprehensive strength judgment has also entered the top three."

"Good job! Let capable people do professional things! I really don't know what some countries think? Who knows what kind of 'gift' will be 'gifted' to this damn game after losing the game? This kind of life-and-death activity , Putting those wine bags and rice bags into the list is simply playing with the safety of citizens! Damn capitalists."

"Heh, don't brag! The Chinese service area may not be very good, and it's not like there are people on the list who don't know what they mean."

I don't know the so-called man-Jiang Xun, who was brutally attacked by foreign patriots.

I saw that Cary, a character certified as D-level, didn't mention Noah's game-related strength and experience at all, and there were no bad habits or violations of laws and disciplines in the glory record, but some trivial matters.

For example: Because of confessing to a male classmate, he was expelled from high school.

For example: Because of a bitter love for a male student, he got drunk in a foreign bar, got drunk and made trouble, and got into a fight with someone.

For example: Because of longing for illness, I gave up a good career abroad and resolutely returned to China.

It was indeed blatantly satirized and targeted by the game.

I don't know where the mastermind was offended.

Players can't imagine what kind of embellishments the game will make, and they trust its authenticity. Jiang Xun seems to be portrayed as a waste image who can only use emotions and enter the list through the back door.

It’s not that I don’t have fans in the e-sports circle, but I didn’t expect that the idol who was not close to women and had a very abstinent image turned out to be a love brain. The heart that wanted to justify his name, seeing the reason why he easily disbanded the team and returned to China, was full of indignation up.

There are also people who eat melons discussing the identity of the "male classmate" in the barrage.

There are acquaintances who belong to the same wealthy class or from the same high school, and there are also players who have seen Jiang Xun register for marriage and participate in Qixi Festival activities.

Prompt hinders harmony?

I don't know whose harmony is hindered?Haven't you seen that "Noah's Ark" also has the word "Ark" on the game?

After trying a few times, I realized that this is an unspeakable person, and the insider can only gossip with friends in private.

But these have nothing to do with the Ark.

No matter how many people enjoyed eating melons, Ark, which was protected by the mastermind, was not implicated.

He closed the page, ready to go back and rest.

"ark?!!!"

Fang Zhou heard the sound and looked back, and found that everyone was not calling him, but was staring at the rule commentary page shared, and the chief decision maker of the event just refreshed at the top.

The word [Ark] is particularly conspicuous.

On other servers, players did not notice any problems with this ark that fits perfectly with "Noah's Ark".

But in the national server, this name on the prestige list—a name that every player who entered the ancient continent has looked up to on the bulletin board—is so similar that it is a bit conspicuous.

But many players are just NPCs with the same name, laughing and laughing in the barrage.

[Fuck!I almost thought it was the owner of Dongshi. 】

[This duplicate name is a bit scary! 】

[If it's true, it's okay, my own people can walk through the back door. 】

[Hahahaha what are you thinking?The event organizers are all NPCs, how could they sneak into the players! 】

However, in front of them, everyone slowly raised their heads and stared at Fang Zhou with piercing eyes, but they didn't think so.

Frowning, Fang Zhou opened the operation panel, switched from the East City household registration to the Central City household registration, and saw an unread email that flapped its wings and stood out.

Empty also went to the position column to update, which read: Chief decision maker of cross-server war.

Click to enter the page related to the cross-server battle. There is a list of participating teams, a list of NPC subordinates who organize the event, and two pending lottery items.

One is grouping.

First, the map.
