doomsday beta

Whether it is climbing Mount Everest, exploring the Antarctic, or landing on the moon, planting a flag in an untouched land has extraordinary political significance.There is also a widely circulated anecdote in the world: an ordinary person planted a flag in an unowned land, then occupied the place and established a country.

Therefore, "the hidden condition of the flag-pulling activity is the corresponding 'flag-planting', which symbolizes: possessing a certain kind of sovereignty."

The process of completing the main task is as simple as opening a gate to release a flood.

"The Secret of Central City" (1/4)

"The Secret of Central City" (2/4)

"The Secret of Central City" (3/4)

"The Secret of Central City" (4/4)

Looking at the blue, red, white, and black cities on the map, the four cities light up in red one by one. After confirming the submission of the task, only a few material rewards were received, but the main line that should have been completed was reset to zero again, showing:

Secrets of Central City (0/4)!

"what happened?"

"The system is down?"

Jiang Cheng's eyes moved, he thought of something, and looked at Fang Zhou.

Ark also opened the map again, and turned his attention from the Chinese region to foreign countries.

During the ongoing flag pulling activity, players from various countries can see the fierce battle between the two sides of the territory from the flag colors on the map.

Even if official organizations want to remain silent and neutral, unfettered civil organizations and speculators are very keen to ignite a dynamic icon of fire and smoke on the map.

On the leaderboard of the flag-pulling activity, countries are surging, expanding their territory, and the number of soldiers lost and generals is constantly rising.

The red flag icon, which was originally ranked at the top because of the University of Earthquakes, fell behind if it didn't advance, and the ranking fell all the way. Accompanied by the zero-war and zero-loss data, it seemed to be invincible.

There is no lack of consortium forces in the country that are ready to move. Unfortunately, there is an unexpected "cheat" like Ark. The country's armed forces are on the transition line smoothly, firmly controlling the national service, and extinguishing the hearts of all parties to cause trouble in the bud, leaving nothing behind. There is room for making waves and "freedom" to play, and we can only watch foreign forces change and fight for success.

Even domestic players are wondering: "Doesn't the official organize activities?"

"Didn't they all start the main line? How can you just run around to save supplies, without any intention of fighting?"

Perhaps it is because the player can "resurrect from the dead", and the words are quite arrogant.

"Don't wait for your blood to boil, we're just a pool of stagnant water."

"Our country's territory was more than 2000 million square kilometers when it was the largest. Now it is less than half of it. It is a good time to restore the glory of a big country. If we don't fight now, when will we wait?"

"I heard that the materials purchased by the government from players are sold directly to other countries..."

"No way? At this moment, you only want to make 'war money'? Are the leaders not so short-sighted?"

The national service channel was full of chatter, and many players found that the public opinion was not in the right direction. I don't know who was in it to stir up the wind and rain, stimulating the players, as if they wanted to use this to force the palace and get a share of the flag-raising event.

But for some reason, the officials didn't bother to deal with the public opinion. Time passed slowly, and the country's military power remained hidden.

The national server players were furious, and the foreign server channels also began to mock:

"A bunch of cowards!"

"During the cross-server battle, the Chinese server area was very beautiful, but now, it looks like a bunch of vain wretches."

"At this time, they are still shrinking! Relying on reselling supplies and begging for safety from the surrounding area, what kind of co-prosperity is still leading like this?"

"Could it be that you are complacent and complacent when you start some main task by mistake?"

There was a lot of sour talk from below, and the heads of state at the top were also wondering.

Monitoring the regional movements in China, only found that the supplies escorted in all directions were brought into the regions of various countries by teams of soldiers.

Although the appearance of selling supplies without distinction between the enemy and the enemy is really arousing people's scolding, and it is absolutely unthinkable that some soldiers transporting supplies can set off wars and occupy territories.

The Ark people sat at home and observed that the soldiers entered the regions of various countries in the name of transporting supplies with the main task of sharing.

Seeing this huge map, all kinds of territories are trapped in the stalemate, and the five-star national flag suddenly blooms everywhere.

Four, eight, twelve, sixteen...

... piece by piece, light up batch by batch.

Everything seems to be without warning.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

The regional countries and foreign server players caught in disputes are all waiting and watching the situation amidst this sudden discoloration.

On the activity ranking list, the red area entrenched in the east corner is like an inkjet, and the bright red drops are scattered to the five continents, dotted with spots, as if a virus is raging.

Unable to predict how all this happened?

Don't know how to stop it from spreading?

Players from all over the world watched with their own eyes. After the five-star red flag proudly remained unchanged in zero battles and zero losses, the icon of the red flag, which does not need to fight against each other, began to gradually rise, rise, rise, rise...

Like a slowly rising flag, on the list, on the five continents.

It wasn't until the peak was firmly reached that the player realized belatedly, from the immutable, multiple of four: "Main quest!"

[World Announcement]: "Congratulations to the Chinese service area for completing the main task: "The Secret of the Central City" and start the game camp! Please choose the camp you want to join and actively promote the main game."

The sudden separation of camps obviously disrupted the ambitions of many countries to annex other countries.I saw that on the vast map, every central city with a red light was in direct opposition to the players.

"You guessed it right again, the opposite of the player is not other players, but the NPC forces."

Jiang Cheng, who finished the meeting with the leader, was neither arrogant nor impetuous in the face of the young master's praise, but frowned at the reward of the main line settlement.

a pair of keys.

The name is: the door card leading to the restricted area.

Almost immediately, he could think of the two small doors leading to the backyard at the end of the main road of the school.

Inside, there is the Book Pavilion, where the city lord resides, and the mysterious tower.

Fang Zhou didn't have much interest in participating in the main storyline, but Jiang Cheng came to harass him, followed by Jiang Xun who entangled him.

When Jiang Cheng was a lobbyist, Jiang Xun kept coming to Fang Zhou's side, serving tea and water, so attentive that he couldn't see it.

It's a pity that when serving tea, he tripped over out of thin air, poured water and accidentally tilted his shoulder and spilled it on the ground, full of embarrassments.

Jiang Cheng looked at Fangzhou sitting on the sofa... the floating hair ends, and the empty hall behind him, his eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything.

Instead, Fang Zhou agreed to help in order to avoid entanglement and hope that all this would end as soon as possible.

After sending people away, the Nian beast appeared in the air.

Its eyes were staring like bells, its nostrils were flaring, and it looked sullen. ——Depressed, this kind of emotion is more and more easy to express in Nian Beast, especially for Jiang Xun.

Originally, Nian Beast didn't pay much attention to Jiang Xun, but was dissatisfied with Jiang Cheng because Jiang Cheng had someone push the ark into the collapsed pit in Shanhai Town in the early days.It wasn't until the Chinese Valentine's Day event not long ago that Fang Zhou and Jiang Xun became temporary partners, and Jiang Xun came from behind, making Nian Beast displeased everywhere.

This long-accompanied Nian beast has shown higher and higher IQs as its level has risen, and its eyes have gradually faded away, revealing the light of wisdom.

Many times, Ark can't even guess what it's thinking?

After waking up several times, he saw Nian Beast standing in front of the open window, his tall body silently looking out of the window in the darkness of the room. The faint morning light fell on Nian Beast and reflected in his eyes. There was a flash of silver light, with an inorganic metallic luster, appearing extraordinarily indifferent and fearless.

The next day, Fang Zhou woke up, saw the huge figure in front of the window again, and opened the button with a "pop!", and the room suddenly lit up.

Nian Beast turned his big head at the sound of approaching footsteps, and his indifferent eyes flickered, as if changing from ink to watercolor, the coolness dissipated, revealing freshness.

Generous and gentle.

Fang Zhou touched its protruding head, the tentacles were slightly wet, it was the night dew on the fur, I don't know how long he stood in front of the window?

Outside the window, a tall tower stands deep in the academy, which is the direction where Nian Beast was looking.

At this moment, Fang Zhou wanted to know what the beast was thinking when it looked at this tower.

He thought of Jiang Cheng's desire to let him play freely, if he swallowed it, what would be the result?

The Central City, where the activities had passed, returned to silence again.

City guards are dedicated to preventing players from entering.

As Fang Zhou's temporary partner, Jiang Cheng became the only helper.

Fang Zhou met him with the invisible Nian Beast, entered the school with the key card, and walked all the way to the end, all under the watchful eyes of NPCs, so he could only go back temporarily and come back at night.

This night, when the player was half asleep and half awake, the system made a "ding dong".

[World Announcement]: "Congratulations to the players in the Chinese service area (anonymous protection) for starting the main task: "Jiang Jingze's Secret"! Players in the area are invited to actively participate in it and promote the main line of the game!"

I don't know if the game opened the back door, but as soon as the door to the backyard was opened, the main line was opened, and the two of them, an invisible beast, walked into the bookstore smoothly.

Walking from the outside to the inside, the neatly arranged bookshelves are divided by letters.

The light moonlight is reflected, hitting the rows of book spines.

Fang Zhou randomly selected the bookshelf marked "J", and took a look: "Ji", "Ji", "Ji", "Jiang", "Jiang", "Jiang"...the bottom layer also has "Johnson" and "Jackson" in English "Jones"...

"This is……?"

"Household registration file."

Fang Zhou handed Jiang Xun a copy of "Jiang" that he opened casually. It contained a page for each person, recording information such as name, gender, date of birth, and life notes. It was so detailed that it seemed to be copied from each player's panel. within it.

Jiang Xun's page is red, others are white, and many gray pages.

Jiang Xun waited for Fang Zhou to clarify his doubts.

Fang Zhou didn't understand for a while, "Cut it down first."

Jiang Xun has no objection.

A thick book, thin and soft, has thousands of pages, some are divided into upper, middle and lower volumes, some are one, two, three, four, five, six... dozens of volumes.

The two took screenshots page by page, and after an hour or two, they hadn't finished recording a Jiang surname.

Seeing the little progress, Fang Zhou stopped, and turned to the footer of the last page of the book.

"what happened?"

Fang Zhou thought for a while, and cut off the number of pages at the footer, "Don't take a screenshot of the content, just cut off the total number of pages of all books with Chinese surnames."

Although Jiang Xun didn't understand what it meant, he still obeyed Ark's orders.

By the time the busy work was over, Fang Zhou’s wrist was already sore—even if Nian Beast helped secretly deliver the book, repeating screenshots like mechanical work over and over again was still a job that tested patience and made people irritated.

Looking at the faintly bright sky outside the window at this time, he closed the last book.

Forward all screenshots to Jiang Xun by email.

"You go first."

Chasing away the reluctant Jiang Xun, Fang Zhou walked to the "F" letter bookshelf and pulled out the "Fang" surname that he had just turned over.

Book after book, page by page.

I don't know how long I read it until I found the page "Ark" that belonged to him among the hundreds of pages with the same name.

It's a dull gray.

It doesn't quite fit the game's penchant for Ark.

However, Ark has a feeling of being in the dark.
