The Invincible Dad of Online Games

"Dear adventurer, welcome to the ring of life and death."

"Seeker of the God of Light, may our Father guide your journey."

After the two system prompts ended, Yang Rui appeared in a dark and chaotic space.

"...Huh?" Yang Rui looked left and right, and all he could see was foggy and dark. He couldn't see other players, and there was no plot animation after entering the arena. He blinked his eyes before realizing, "This is... The legendary single book?"

In other words... After the sea elections, the officials used the news of the revision of the Territory War to suppress the carnival of the sunspots on the competitive version, at least to prevent the mainstream player groups from being guided by the gang of resentful parties to affect the heat of the summer competition next year. The next step is naturally to release The [-] teams that have qualified in the sea elections are highly speculated—each team has been specially arranged by the official to create a promotional MV, invite popular singers to sing the battle song of the team, and spend money to play it on a loop on major game websites.

To be honest, it would be difficult for the old version of keyboard gaming to hype players and teams like this... People who don’t play games can understand a few excerpts of exciting team battles in a certain 2 competitive video, and most people see the lock screen The game screen and distorted game characters have no patience to turn off the video.The simulation game competition where real people "participate" in projection is different. Although it is impossible to say that both sides are fighting masters who can play high-level battle scenes, the distinctive equipment of the game itself can enhance the player's temperament (forced) grid), and cool skills and lighting effects, plus angle selection, editing, etc., the video clips of several games are cut and cut, and the effect is comparable to American blockbusters—and the sense of reality is much higher than that of movies. Well, the two parties participating in the war were really fighting, punching to the flesh with "fate".

Therefore, most of the players in the team who don't have much advantage in appearance are so popular under this kind of operation, not to mention those who are already good-looking, Feng Qingshang and Qian Moyou, who are so eye-catching in just 2 days. In less than 20 seconds after appearing in the promotional video of his own team, he has garnered a lot of fans who are not good at playing games...

The "King's Landing" team naturally has the same treatment. The promotional video was cut by the official queen director in the past games, and the battle song was sung by an idol girl group invited by the official. The seven teams lined up to appear on TV and appeared in the official league commercial program... This wave of hype was so great that Yang Rui's parents, younger siblings were all in a hurry to call to ask questions, and even the local newspapers in his hometown came all the way from thousands of miles away. I did an interview - before Yang Rui won the championship in Southeast Asian boxing competitions, he didn't get this kind of treatment.

The official saw that this wave of promotional activities that can heat up the attention of the league in the coming year and increase the popularity of the game itself has achieved outstanding results, and immediately launched the next wave of promotional offensive: that is, let those mysterious players who are fighting passionately in the video He stepped up to the stage to cooperate with the publicity, and then...kicked the iron board.

Obviously...the players in the qualifying team all love to be famous, but they are more willing to have this time to train more or play games to relax than going on variety shows, talk shows, network interviews and other activities. The response is very good Enthusiasm——In a well-known variety show, the official finally invited well-known contestants such as Feng Qingshang, Qian Moyou, Golden Partner, Xianyun Wild Goose, etc. However, the show was not half recorded yet, and the contestants asked the director when leave...

The "King's Landing" team went to the event to participate in Jun Wuyou. When she came back, she looked very bad. At that time, she sent a threat to the person in charge of the league... Uh no, express your opinion by email, stating that this kind of time-wasting boring activity will be delayed. Don't call on everyone to participate anymore - Goose has done a better job, directly asking whether the league has teased the players as variety show fans?

Decades ago, it was an honor to appear on variety show talk shows, and those who were not famous were not qualified to go.But now... Most of the TV shows have been taken over by the Internet. Except for some variety shows that can invite super celebrities, the ratings of some TV shows are not even a fraction of that of the programs made by Internet players.As for the variety show cafes who specialize in variety shows to earn living expenses... If they are stars, they are not as popular as the second-tier UP masters of video websites or celebrities in the cosplay world. (Refer to the variety show artist of WW family)

The league gave up the unrealistic expectation of letting the players, who were basically game nerds, cheer for the Summer Champions Cup, and the [-] teams that qualified were calmed down.The next highlight is the upcoming new version of the leaderboard in the game. All the towns and towns of the players are gearing up, and the professional players who have the support of the big guilds behind them are no exception.

The five big guilds in Liangyin Town are currently conducting various negotiations and explorations on the issue of cooperation during the territorial war. Yang Rui can't get involved in this matter, so he simply doesn't make trouble.Going online this evening, he remembered the random book "Ring of Life and Death" that he had played once before the audition, and went to the square alone to line up...I didn't expect to come in such a weird situation.

"Ring of Life and Death" has been launched for more than four months, and the word-of-mouth among players is polarized. Some think that thieves are interesting and fun, and some will spray scum; but anyway, each player's town is used to arrange random books. There are people coming and going in and out of the square 24 hours a day, which is enough to show how popular this once-a-day challenge limit random is.

"Didn't it mean that the single-player book and the 25-player book have a small probability, why did I touch this thing as soon as I came here..." Yang Rui stared at the fishy eyes and wanted to find a way out in the fog, but he stepped on it. It is the ground made of unknown material, which seems to be very hard yet has a strange softness, and I don’t know what this fog is used for. It obstructs the vision so much that I can only see my palm vaguely when I raise my hand.

After walking in one direction for almost half a minute, Yang Rui didn't come to the end. He thought for a while, then turned his eyes to the soles of his feet: "By the way, the ground seems a bit strange?" He knelt down and touched the ground with his hands. It was cold and felt a little bit cold. It's like metal, but... if you press it hard, it will dent slightly.

"...Hey, what is this?" Yang Rui couldn't see the surface clearly through the mist, so he simply lay down, and then he was shocked, the surface that seemed very smooth to the touch actually had scale-like lines, similar to fish scales , It’s just too big, a scale must be at least one meter wide.

I tried to buckle it with my fingers, but the huge scales that seemed to have gaps in the eyes did not move at all, and then I slapped it with my palm, and there was a very clear metal echo.

"..." Yang Rui knelt half-kneeling and supported the ground with one hand. After a while of silence, the corners of his mouth twitched and he said, "This is so... I'm sure I'm standing on some huge creature, right?"

As soon as he muttered... the system sound popped up:

"The main task has been triggered"

""Dragon Nest Suspicious Cloud""

"A group of travelers from another world strayed into the Dragon's Nest..."

"Leave the main lair before the dragon wakes up (0/1)"

"A group of...?" Yang Rui's face was filled with joy, isn't it a single book?As soon as his thought rose, the dense mist suddenly dissipated, and there was no cover in his sight, "--Damn it!!"

But I saw... he was in a very huge, weird lair with no end in sight, and the position where he was standing... was a waist-to-shoulder aircraft carrier, with a total length of at least 600 meters from the beginning to the end, crouching in the lair The sleeping Dongfang Dragon; looking up, he was not the only one standing on the dragon's back, and a player in a magic robe was standing still in a daze within a few tens of meters of him, and a little further away Standing are two good friends who probably arranged books together and are relatively close to each other. On the farthest dragon head, a big brother in heavy armor is squatting on the top of the dragon head to study the pillar-like dragon horns.

"..." The five players looked at each other from a long distance away. After a few seconds, the two good friends were shocked, "Fuck! Is it a five-player book? Isn't it a two-player book?!"

Yang Rui's mouth twitched at a distance of a hundred meters, but he could still hear the yelling clearly. It seemed that he was not the only one who had this misunderstanding.

There is a characteristic of the random game. If you are in a large group, you will be suspicious of each other and be afraid of being dragged down by pig teammates. If you are in a small group, you will be able to form a group quickly. After all, the perfect clearance requirement of the random book is that all members survive, and there are not many people but can be united. If so, hope is greater.The five immediately figured out a way to get off the dragon they were stepping on, and ran to gather at a place far away from the giant beast. The dragon was dozens of meters high lying on its stomach. Ability, just coming down is enough to cause headaches.

"I'll go, thanks to the mainline coming out first, otherwise I don't know how much idle time I will waste holding that dragon horn." The last one who ran over to hug the group was the player in heavy armor who was squatting on the dragon's head, "This random book is too weird Right, and there are people who use this method to surprise people when they enter the scene? Hey, by the way, which brother triggered the main line?"

This buddy is really familiar, but with him alone, a small team of strangers gathered together from all over the world can quickly liven up the atmosphere. The player in the robe immediately said: "It's not me, I came in I also thought it was a single-player book, or that other teammates haven’t been matched yet, and I’m planning to wait to see if anyone comes in again.”

One of the two people who arranged the book together said: "We just came in and there is nothing we can do. We are going to have a private chat with the brothers outside and ask for help to find out which type of book came in. It is a cloud of fog."

The plot of the random book is randomly generated by the optical brain system. The same type of random book will only be triggered within a certain period of time, and the data will be destroyed after the customs clearance, and will not reappear. The puzzle-solving storybook, after being cleared, this type of book will no longer be randomized by players, or it will be broken and reorganized, and only then will it meet the players of the new row.

However, the random book that has been completely smashed and reorganized has a premise, that is, it has been cracked by someone, and there is a probability that the story book that has not been cracked and cleared will re-enter "Ring of Life and Death"; these story books that have not been cleared allow players After the news came out, enthusiastic players set up a search page for a random version of the uncracked storybook. Although there is no guarantee for players who come across this kind of storybook later, it can at least make it easier for later players to take some detours. . (similar to JX3 adventure query, pet CD monitoring web page, etc.)

"Uh...it might be me who triggered the main line. I saw something wrong with the ground, and muttered if I was standing on some huge creature, and the main line jumped out." Yang Rui was not sure whether the main line was triggered by himself. But since the other four people in this five-person book are definitely not, he is the only one left.

The eyes of the person who spoke in the group of friends lit up: "Brother, are you a master at solving puzzles?"

As soon as these words came out... the other three people immediately showed their thighs begging eyes, and Yang Rui said quickly: "No, no, if you don't tell me, I'm not sure that I triggered the main line, it's purely a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. "

The disappointment of the other four people, the fattest thigh in the random book is not the No. 1 professional or PK master, but the strong man in terms of brain power - the favorite catchphrase used by players who used to play five-player competitive games is "Please!" Four kings brought a salted fish to lie down", and now the most popular in the random book is "Schoolmaster Dad took me to fly, I will call 666"...

The energetic heavy-armored brother quickly cheered up: "Anyway, it's a good thing that the main line comes out, thanks to this priest brother." Yang Rui has recently practiced his priest skills, and now he is wearing a full set of angel equipment, "Hey, buddy, you Is there any good news about the off-field support?"

The random book does not open the external network, but you can chat privately with relatives and friends outside. The person who spoke in the group of friends looked down at the information column, and smiled wryly after a while: "My friend checked the website for us, but there was a fog at the beginning. The plot is much older, and none of them threw players into a dragon's lair to escape."

"That's the new book." The magic robe player said, "In this case, we can only figure out a way... Then, let's split up and go around this place to see if there is an exit?"

The Heavy Armored Brother suddenly looked at the robed player with piercing eyes: "Split? What do you think, once the protagonists in thriller and horror movies are separated, they will end up with each other in succession, big brother, don't you usually watch movies?"

"..." The robe player was confused, "Aren't we playing a dungeon? What does it have to do with the movie?"

Brother Chong Jia raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, saying earnestly: "Big brother, it's because you can't keep up with the times. Haven't you watched the perfect customs clearance video on the official website? The plot of which book is not similar to that of a movie..."

Yang Rui became a little nervous when he heard that he mentioned the perfect clearance. He said that he has such a little famous syndrome recently, and he was afraid that suddenly he would be recognized as a monkey by others when he was playing games by himself. It's been a long time since I've been active with the guild group.Occasionally being out in the limelight is a personal pleasure, but it feels bad to be stared at all the time... Fortunately, this brother in heavy armor seems to be a very tall man, so he didn't look his way.

Fortunately, in the Internet era, although fame is fast, it is also fast to be forgotten. After the star show, Yang Rui has been popular for a while. Yes, it has been so long that he has not continued to gain popularity, and the limelight during the audition did not say that he can surpass it. For real celebrities like Feng Qingshang and Xianyun Yege, at least none of the four players in the random book this time had an impression of his face—he didn't even dare to wear the distinctive goggles!

The random book gathered by strangers is often the one who can stand out stronger and drive everyone first—of course, if this kind of person is too stupid or makes any mistakes, he will be kicked down immediately—in the case of heavy armor players At his request, the five of them circled the outer wall of the dragon's nest together in a group.

"This place is too big—!!" After 10 minutes, the five players' physical strength bottomed out and sat down to eat and recover. The place must not be as big as the Forbidden City?"

"It seems to make sense, Zhenlong, sleep in the Forbidden City." The longer-talking player in the friend group laughed.

"Uh..." Yang Rui didn't think about anything at first, but when they said this, his beast-like intuition suddenly gave him a bad feeling, "Look at the color of that dragon, do you think of anything? ?”

"Black? Black dragon? Evil?" The other four turned to look at the oriental dragon with a strong sense of presence in the center of the dragon's lair. They didn't understand Yang Rui's thoughts. Does it hurt, isn't it strange to use a black belt to represent evil?"

"...It's like this. I used to live abroad, where the network signal was not good, and the domestic network was very slow, so I could only watch old domestic movies for leisure and entertainment." Yang Rui explained, "At that time I read "The Great Qin Empire" several times to pass the time, as I remember, it seemed that black was admired in the Qin Dynasty."

Brother Chongjia burst out laughing: "Brother Priest, wake up, this is a western magic game, what are you talking about about Qin Dynasty?"

"Wait a minute, what the pastor said is not unreasonable." The player in the robe said, "The background of the game is Western magic, yes, but the planning is from the East. The planning of this game is also a secondary disease. It’s not surprising to come in, I ran into a white-haired witch in the shape of Li Bingbing in the random book before.”

Brother Heavy Armor rolled his eyes: "Isn't it all the bad taste of those second-year planners who love to make NPCs look like that? Well, even if what Brother Priest said makes sense, what's the point? Black dragons and white dragons are all eaten Human dragon."

Yang Rui scratched his head: "I'm not saying that I have any specific thoughts, I just have an unsure association, a black dragon, lying in the underground palace... Is it something a Chinese would think about?"
