I save the world by summoning players to science

"No, is what you said true or false?!" At this time, I heard the words of the companions who went online urgently. The group of players who went to the western coast of the empire had already passed half of their journey, and they couldn't help but start to panic.

After all, I just think about the hardships they have been traveling these days. If I finally tell them that they are all free, and it is true, it is self-torture. Most of these people will be so angry that they will jump off the hot air balloon.

"The screenshots and mission invitations I saw with my own eyes in the group, can this be fake?" The player and his companion who saw the screenshots in the player group explained seriously, "The mission props on the pictures can be seen at a glance and are the same as those of the same players. Other items in this background are out of place, both in terms of workmanship and general appearance, they all fit the definition of the word 'baby'. In addition, she also told us that it was picked up by a fisherman NPC at the bottom of the sea, which is clear. Sending us clues, telling us that the fallen ruins may be near the location where this mission item was salvaged."

"Really? Then I'll go offline now, and then enter the group to see what the legendary quest item looks like." Daydream heard the words and couldn't help being curious about the item's appearance. He made a call with other players around him. After saying hello, I decided to go offline to see for myself, and see why it was identified by my companions as a quest clue related to the fallen ruins.

Who would be willing to spend so much money and effort to the end, only to be told that they were just doing free work? Other players followed suit and went offline, leaving only a few who had no time to speak because of their slow movements, so they had to stay in the game. The unlucky player who controls the hot air balloon to fly westward in the game.

"Could it be that you got it wrong? In fact, what appeared in the eastern part of the empire is just another game mission that has nothing to do with our current mission?" The action slowed down a bit, so he had to stay behind to control the hot air balloon Among the players, some couldn't hold back after thinking about it, and tried to persuade the other party, "Look at that NPC named Francis, it is written in the book, saying that the ruins are hidden under the sea when the sun sets. How could this be possible?" It's on the east side."

"This is not certain. After all, the location of the fallen ruins is only our guess after reading the book. Compared with the eastern coast where there has been evidence, the western coast we are going to looks a little bit suspicious." Among these players, the first player who saw the screenshot in the group was able to go online again and report the news. At least before going online, he had the most basic self-thinking about this matter.

In his opinion, in the current situation where there is an additional reasonable guess, who has eaten it compared to those who just followed a certain sentence on the page without knowing whether it was just because the author used exaggerated rhetoric or abused metaphorical imagery? The screenshots of the game posted in the group for my homework are more like evidence that is tangible enough to be believed.

Ragnarok couldn’t help but feel a little anxious when he heard the words, but as a wind player who can use wind magic to control the path of the hot air balloon, in order to keep the hot air balloon moving along the original route, he couldn’t go offline to take a look at the one who was online at this time. The so-called evidence that players swear by.

Just when he was starting to feel a little upset, Ragnarok sensitively felt two eyes fixed on him.He raised his head and looked back, and after a few seconds of staring at a player not far away, the other player looked away first.

I thought that nothing would happen after that, but who knew that the other party seemed to have realized something from the brief stare just now, and then asked in a tentative tone: "Tell me, could it be us?" The 'direction where the sun sets' we are looking for happens to be the east that the NPC said, and the direction we are heading now is the direction to the eastern coast of the empire?"

"Look, the background of the game setting is completely different from the background of the earth's sword and magic. Strictly speaking, everything may be like the previous 'compass'. Maybe under the setting of the production team, in order to To make the game look more like a different world, they will set the direction of the sun’s setting to the east?! For example, I remember that among the eight planets in the solar system, there are several planets that rotate in the opposite direction to the earth.”

... Unable to accept such an outrageous error in such a long time-consuming cross-city mission, the other party obviously went all out and used all their imaginations to explain what happened to them.

The more he talked, the more he felt it made sense, and Ragnarok finally understood why the other party suddenly looked at him in a daze not long ago.

Obviously, after he briefly told these players the answer he learned from the researcher before, the theory that looked too elaborate and even felt a bit like arguing made these players who heard his words They all feel that the memory is so deep that at this time, there are still players who can rationalize the "different world theory".

On the side, a player found the map helplessly after hearing the words, spread it out and pointed it to the player who had finished speaking: "Look carefully, it just so happens that the direction where the sun sets in this world is also in the west, so what you just said There is no such thing as an evil setting.”

... Strictly speaking, the information that players read now are all words and sentences that have been translated by the game system.In order to make it easier for players to play the game, all the things they can touch are strictly translated, and there are words in their concepts that can be easily understood by them.

The translated Empire East and Empire West are two diametrically opposed directions.

"...Okay." The last hope was blatantly punctured by a map, and the game directly showed all players that he had no bad taste in this regard.The player who was trying to make the last struggle before sighed and stopped talking.

Because the conversation stopped suddenly, the hot air balloon fell into a brief silence.But soon, when those players who went offline to view the pictures in the player group quickly read the screenshots and went online to continue their discussion about the mission, the somewhat uncomfortable atmosphere was quickly broken.

"How should I put it, I think that thing really looks like a related quest item." Gold unilaterally believed in the actual quest clues, "It's all under the sea, the metal in the screenshot The lion doesn't look like something that an ordinary craftsman NPC in the town can make."

"Things that can be put together with such props, even if they are not props that allow players to kill gods, must be some particularly powerful weapons."

"So you think so too," the player who spoke, after seeing the screenshots in the player group offline, was naturally more inclined to the possibility that the fallen relics existed on the east coast of the empire. asked in a loud voice, "So, are we going to turn to the east?"

Of course, there are also players who have objections: "I've come here, why don't I continue, otherwise I've been on the road for so long, and all this time will be wasted."

"And the relevant quest props didn't indicate that they were related to the 'Fallen Ruins' quest, did they? Maybe it's just a different quest that happened to be hidden under the sea."

"I don't think there is any need to increase the sunk cost. The quest props appeared by coincidence, and the book itself is a bit troublesome. Maybe in the end, NPC Francis actually just wants to tell us that the fallen ruins are under the surface of the sea. , the related "direction of the sun setting" is actually nonsense, in order to deceive the eyes of the boss." I used to think that the words in the "Epic of the Empire" where the words "fallen" and "remains" appeared were hints, but Now, after seeing the screenshot where the word "baby" was directly written on it, the player who spoke out and opposed the idea once again shifted.

"If the first sentence at the beginning is so obvious, maybe the boss will feel guilty when he sees it, and ask him to delete it and rewrite it. And the thing on the screenshot doesn't look like it is an NPC of this era. The things that come out... The mission location is said to be the ruins of the fallen, maybe it is the ruins left after the fall of civilization, which is not sure."

"That makes sense," Daydream said in agreement, but when the player who spoke just now wanted to echo something like "Right, so let's turn around", he said something that ended in the opposite direction. "However, I think we should continue to go to the western part of the empire. Strictly speaking, so far, the background settings in the game and the NPCs in the game have never revealed that there is another continent on the other side of the sea." On the premise, the seas in the eastern part of the empire and the western part of the empire actually come from the same ocean, and our goal has not changed from the beginning to the end."

"The 'sea where the sun sets' in the "Epic of the Empire" may be right or wrong. On the premise that the coast of the empire shares the same sea area, it is possible that no matter which direction we go, we can finally find it as a quest The fallen ruins of the destination. To put it more exaggeratedly, this ocean may be the "fallen ruins" where the unknown ruins were buried in the setting, or in other words, under the constant movement of the ocean, all kinds of items in the ruins have long followed Ocean currents spread throughout the ocean. So after reading this book, no boss will feel that something is wrong."

"Of course, the latter are purely guesswork, but on the premise of not knowing which sea in the east of the empire the place where the quest item was discovered is, and how far it is from the land of the empire, it looks like the matter of looking for it from the west or east coast of the empire Maybe it doesn’t make much sense. I think the time difference between going back and forth may be enough for us to go all the way from the western waters to the eastern seas.” Seeing my teammates after hearing “ocean currents” and “over the entire sea area” With a bad expression, Daydream added this sentence at the end and ended it with this.

Golden Unilateral: "Then can you be sure that the world set in the game is a three-dimensional sphere, not a simpler and more troublesome plane? Maybe we will be reminded by the system to say something when we set off from the western coast of the empire." The front area is not open' and other pop-up prompts that restrict the player's activity area."

Daydream also admits that his guess may be wrong: "It's true that I can't say for sure, but isn't this a 'domestic game' with a particularly awesome origin? So far, all the content presented so far seems to be so refined, I think it's also Not bad for the last point."

Ragnarok couldn't help watching it like a daydream. As an insider, he naturally knew that this was not a domestic game from the country.

But daydreaming is actually right. It depends on the various scenes and settings made in the game. For modern technology, it is really time-consuming and laborious to make the game map three-dimensional. After the end, you can’t make much money. In reality Maybe no game company would be willing to do this at all.But for that unknown civilization, maybe this kind of troublesome setting is actually not difficult to do. Combined with the previous game experience, the other party may really create a three-dimensional planet in the game.

He clearly knows that the relevant staff who have been monitoring the conversations of the player group will not let go of this sudden clue, and will definitely assign an account to send someone into the game later, and after contacting the person who sent the message, he ate my homework. Next this task.So under such a premise, going to the unknown western coast of the empire to take a look is a more perfect option for him who is already halfway.

The gods were thinking blankly at dusk, and their wandering eyes just happened to be hit by daydreaming.

Thinking about the various operations the other party had made that impressed him deeply, he thought that the other party was daydreaming about finding fault, looked at Ragnarok vigilantly, and explained in a particularly rigorous tone: "You have already considered things like magnetic fields. , surely you will also know why planets are mostly spherical under the action of gravity, right?"

"You just looked at me that way, you probably didn't want to ask me why the eastern sea is connected to the western sea, right?"

In fact, it is purely just Ragnarok who lost his eyes and fell into thinking: ...

Ragnarok: "...Don't worry, of course not."

What a terrible image I am in your hearts... Ragnarok couldn't help but reflect on himself.

Of course, because the psychological hints brought to the players by that screenshot were too obvious, in the end these cross-city mission players had to vote together to choose the final plan.

After Ragnarok and his two other Fengfa brothers who had the same position raised their hands to support the "continue to the west" plan, these players who were either daydreaming or reluctant to give up because of sunk costs won with a slight advantage. The last victory.

Daydream and his group continued to sit in the hot air balloon and headed for the town on the western coast of the empire.

……

Outside of the game, the research institute is also temporarily recruiting researchers to carefully observe and study the screenshot sent by who ate my homework.

Just like what Ragnarok thought, they also took advantage of the opportunity to play the role of the player and got in touch with who ate my homework, expressing that they wanted to take on such a task, and obtained all the information from the other party after asking back and forth.

"If it is as she described, then the decoration in the screenshot really looks like a product of some advanced civilization." The researcher said, frowning, "But if you only need the magic crystal output, it is only up to now. The magic that has appeared in Corunna so far for players to learn is enough to play the same role in reality."

"Perhaps the powerful weapons that allow players to kill gods, and the display of high-end props that are different from the background level of the game... Logically speaking, these things may not be necessary to appear in front of the players at all."

"What the hell are they trying to do?"

If it is simply used as a task reward in the game to encourage players to continue to work hard to participate in the game and accelerate the growth cycle of the magic crystal, but in the case that all rewards will become the same threat after research, these may affect future plans There is obviously no need for risk.

...It's because they are confident in their own strength, so it doesn't matter how they struggle to survive in vain on Earth in the future?Or those powerful weapons and props that will be given to players as task rewards in the future do not have any value that they can use for research. They will be different from all kinds of magic books in the magic guild, and they are purely appearance props with no practical use ?

All of this looks a bit confusing, and we can only wait for the mysterious ruins to be completely discovered by the players.
