Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

Old Geng, the "online GM" on duty, witnessed the whole process of connecting the lumber camp with the neighboring village without increasing the entropy, and couldn't help saying admiringly: "This girl has a good brain."

Players thought they were just doing tasks in the game, and Lao Geng would definitely not have this kind of misunderstanding... Ever since the lord Yang and the comrade Zhao Zhenzhen sent by Guoan made a confession, it seems that they have taken the "tool man" "Account" people have a common channel for information, and they don't bother to use "games" as a cover to cover up everything they do.

So Lao Geng knows very clearly that the "Exorcist Mission" that seems to be a newly released game content is actually Lord Yang opening up the path for players to get in touch with the strange core of this strange and strange world.

It can also be understood that by opening the contact path to players, they indirectly let them, the people of the national team, understand this foreign world more deeply from the side.

How strange is this alien world? Although Lao Geng doesn’t know much about astrometry, he has already learned some cognitions that violate the common sense of people on Earth from Director Lu (myself) of the expert group——

For example, through several months of celestial observations (outside time) in the town of exile and Westham, the expert team has been able to determine that the planet under their feet does not belong to the Milky Way.

Through multi-day measurements of the sun's movement trajectory, and referring to the movement trajectories of celestial bodies and galaxies during the day and night, the expert group agreed that the volume of this planet is much larger than the earth, at least three times larger.

It stands to reason that the larger the planet, the heavier the gravitational force, but the density detection of the wood transported by Lord Yang's "space logistics" to the earth, and the re-weighing and measurement of the goods that Lord Yang "logistics" brought to this world, experts However, the team found that the gravity of the celestial bodies on both sides seemed to be almost the same, which made many experts scratch their heads and couldn't figure it out.

Through the carbon 14 detection of the sediment attached to the wood, the expert team believes that this planet has a history as old as the earth, maybe older than the earth.

Through careful detection and observation of the wood itself and the microorganisms attached to it, the expert team found that the microcosm of this world is very different from the evolutionary pathway of microorganisms on the earth-of course, Lao Geng can't tell where the difference is. He couldn't understand the professional vocabulary the director said.

In short, the expert group has a strong thirst for knowledge about this planet that subverts the common sense of people on earth in every aspect. Lord Yang took the opportunity of opening up "new content" to players to give the national team a chance to get in touch with the core. Of course, Lao Geng would Staring very diligently at the players who ran the "Exorcist Mission" and "Bounty Mission".

Seeing that the players had no consciousness of being undead and ran to the indigenous village at night, Lao Geng quickly sent out a warning message:

"Hint: You are entering Lanna Village."

"Your prestige in the Innadli Territory has reached Friendly, and you are allowed to enter Lanna Village."

"[Warning]: The villagers are resting, please do not disturb, please come back at dawn."

The prestige of the territory of the players who have fought the battle of Innadli is above friendly. In theory, players can go to any rural town, but things like disturbing people's dreams at night are absolutely forbidden. Most of the city is a brick wall structure, not so good sound insulation.

The first reaction of the players who were warned was to scold the dog for planning.

It’s fine if you just leave it at ordinary times, Qin Guanda can pull the team to kill monsters first, and come back after dawn in the game; but the difficulty of this task is so high that it’s nonsense, and he should go offline when the entropy doesn’t increase after dawn in the game After class, how about playing a ball? !

Tang Jia, who didn't want to miss the mission, made a bold suggestion: "Wait a minute, since entering the village is allowed, as long as you don't disturb the sleeping villagers, isn't it all right? We're going to ask the hunter for the truth , this hunter is a mission NPC, it’s okay to do missions, right?”

Qin Guan immediately compared his thumbs: "That's right, it's not a bother to find a quest NPC to do the quest!"

"That's right, let's enter the village quietly, don't shoot anyone!" A group of players laughed and echoed.

Then these guys really ran into the village...

Lao Geng, who was sitting behind the town of exile, looked at these people from the air, dumbfounded.

Well...he is also very curious about this "exorcist mission". As long as these young people can really do what they say, he can just turn a blind eye and close his eyes.

The black book contains the addresses of all suspected related parties. Hunter Ulduar’s home is at the foot of the mountain at the end of Lanna Village, far away from other homes. As long as players don’t demolish Ulduar’s home, they can It really doesn't bother other villagers.

Lanna Village is very close to Innadli City, less than ten kilometers away in a straight line. Many villagers have opened vegetable fields in front of and behind their houses to subsidize their families by selling vegetables in the city.

It is also because of this geographical convenience that the economic conditions of this village are not bad. In addition to housing, many families have set up sheds to raise chickens and ducks. Only pigs and dogs live with people... Given the current rural situation in this world As far as people are concerned, this is already a manifestation of "living a good life".

When the undead walked through the village lightly, someone's dog was disturbed, and the barking sounded sporadically.

But it's not a big problem. Not many villagers are woken up, and those who are woken up are not willing to go out, so they just take care of their dogs.

Odur is the only hunter in Lanna Village, and his economic conditions are slightly better than that of the villagers. At the foot of the mountain, there are two thatched huts with earthen walls connected side by side, a chicken coop half a person high in front of the house, and a four-story house surrounded by fences. A small courtyard of about ten square meters, as well as the two hounds raised in the wooden kennel in the yard, are all of Ulduar's property.

Dozens of undead surrounded the fence of Ulduar's house, and the two dogs in the yard were the first to startle.

Rural hunters must not be able to raise expensive hounds. The hounds of the Ulduar family are actually watchdogs commonly seen in the central and eastern countries of the Nabalon Continent. Looking up from the kennels and seeing groups of undead outside the fence, these two dogs are fundamentally He didn't dare to call out loudly, so he shrank back with a whimper.

This movement was enough to wake Ulduar up. The strongest man in the village jumped off the bed as soon as he opened his eyes, picked up the hunting bow hanging on the wall, grabbed the quiver and rushed out.

Then...he rushed out of the room, and under the starlight, he looked at a large group of undead across the fence.

Ulduar, like his hounds, subconsciously wanted to hide in the house. Thinking of his wife and children who were still sleeping in the house, he squatted abruptly, blocked the door, and watched as if he was facing an enemy. These undead wearing fish scale armor and carrying weapons.

People in the surrounding villages knew about the change of owner of Inador City a week ago—it’s not that the farmers suddenly became concerned about the replacement of the great lord, but because all the villagers who went to the city to sell vegetables would see it. The undead wandering around the streets in broad daylight can't be ignored.

An undead walked to the courtyard gate and yelled "KABAKABA" at Ulduar through the waist-high courtyard gate.

Ulduar couldn't understand what it was saying, and only confronted the gang of undead in horror.

"What the hell, can't even the mission NPC understand what we're saying?" Qin Guan scolded angrily.

In the rear, Lao Geng silently sent a task reminder to Entropy who was holding the hemp rope:

"Do you want to use the quest item 'A Roll of Hemp Rope'?"

Entropy did not increase, he glanced at the information bar unexpectedly, raised the hemp rope, and pointed it towards the hunter.

Ulduar must have been unresponsive.

Entropy didn't increase after thinking for a while, handed the hemp rope to Qin Guan, and pointed to the hunter: "Show this to the NPC."

Qin Guan jumped over the waist-high courtyard gate with the hemp rope, walked carelessly into the courtyard, and handed the hemp rope to Ulduar.

Ulduar was very puzzled, and looked fearfully at the large group of undead surrounding his yard, gritted his teeth and took the hemp rope.

Lao Geng took the opportunity to operate "GM authority" and drag Ulduar into the matrix.

The operation principle of temporarily pulling the indigenous people into the matrix is ​​similar to the rhododendron badge engraved with spiritual link runes, but it is not as convenient as the rhododendron badge. It needs to "add people" online in real time, and can only drag people who have been in contact with the undead. , the timeliness is still very short, usually only lasts for half an hour. It is a new function developed by Yang Qiu after letting the players go out to do "hidden tasks".

To put it simply, it is to let the people who are directly contacted by the undead be temporarily contaminated with the breath of the spiritual imprint runes hidden in the skeletons of the undead... Of course, the timeliness cannot last.

Ulduar, who got the hemp rope, was stunned for a moment, and the "KABAKABA" voice of the undead in front of him was almost instantly replaced by the impatient and clear voice of the young man: "...don't pretend to be Ulduar, we all know what you did. Got it, look at this roll of hemp rope, do you still recognize it?"

Ulduar stared stiffly at the aggressive undead in front of him, and swallowed hard——Miss Gold Coin!Why did he hear the undead talking? !

Qin Guan naturally couldn't understand the difference between the panic of the natives before him and the previous panic, and said aggressively: "Do you still want to pretend to be stupid? What good things did you do in the foggy forest in spring?"

The two key words of spring and foggy forest plus the hemp rope stuffed by the undead made Ulduar shudder, and the creepy memory that he ignored as much as possible surged up.

It is difficult for the living to distinguish the expression of the undead, but the undead can see the reaction of the living. Qin Guan's eyes lit up, he quickly took out the badge given by the night watchman NPC, slammed it on Ulduar's face, and shouted sharply: "We are The exorcist who is investigating the misty forest incident, hurry up and confess! Otherwise, I will take you back!"

Ulduar's face turned pale and his whole body went limp.

If it was an investigator from the Night Watch, Ulduar would still dare to pretend that nothing had happened; if it was a group of undead, these undead even knew that he hid the hanging hemp rope... He really didn't dare to talk nonsense up.

Ulduar, whose mind was blank, had no time to wonder why even the undead can be exorcists. This question of broken three views, this person has a natural fear of the undead, such as undead creatures, and mistakenly thinks that these undead know In the world after death, maybe you can still talk to the dead. The ordinary village hunter, with a wrinkled face, opened his mouth stammeringly:

"I, I really didn't do anything, Master Undead... I just, just... collected the body of that undisciplined Janet..." Ulduar said without tears, "She is obviously Master Jeff. But he still secretly communicated with the foreman of the forest farm, and somehow went to the forest farm to hang himself... If outsiders know about this, Master Jeff will lose his reputation, and I can't help it—"

"Who is Janet?" Seeing that the NPC was finally willing to speak, the entropy didn't increase and he jumped into the yard.

"It's the fourth daughter of the village head of Needham." Udur replied tremblingly, "For her, Master Jeff will come back to live in the big house in the village for a month or two every year... although she can only be Jeff's family. But what's wrong with a country girl like her, if it weren't for Master Jeff's kindness, she wouldn't be able to live as well as a city person. Besides, Mrs. Jeff Good for her too."

Hearing this, Qin Guan gave a "tsk", with a look of disgust on his face: "What the hell, being a concubine is still enviable?"

Entropy did not increase and frowned, looking at the trembling NPC in front of him, and said, "Are you sure Janet hanged herself?"

"Of course, Undead... Ma'am." Ulduar nodded vigorously, "I was the first person to go up the mountain that day. When I found her, she was wearing the skirt given to her by the forestry foreman. There were no wrinkles on the clothes, and there was only A strangle mark—I've seen several women in the village hang themselves, and it's all like this."

"Damn it, wait a minute, you've seen several hanged women?!" Qin Guan was taken aback.

"Every few years, there will always be one or two things that you can't think about." Udur was startled by Qin Guan's raised voice, and he stumbled and said.

Entropy does not increase and shakes his head slightly, but doesn't say anything.

Before the game "Alien World" came out, Entropy's biggest interest besides learning was watching TV shows, so she would have all kinds of wonderful knowledge points - such as knowing the symptoms of some diseases, and investigating the Chinese police. Forensics routines are also quite familiar.

Anyone who is familiar with the progress of the rule of law in China will know one thing: the suicide rate of rural women in New China was once shockingly high.

The planning of the game "Other World" seems to be sickly, and it is "realistic". It is not impossible to refer to the laws of social development in reality to create a set of hidden settings like "Easter eggs" for players to discover.

"Then why do you try to cover up the fact that Janet hanged herself? Is Robert Jeff's reputation a very important thing to you?" Entropy did not increase and asked again.

"Of course, Ms. Undead!" Ulduar straightened his waist all of a sudden, his voice no longer trembled, and he even expressed sincere pleading, "When we were still the territory of the Korff family, Sixty percent of the food is not enough to pay the autumn tax! For a family like mine with few fields, there is not even much corn left after paying the tax!"

"After Master Jeff comes, no matter how the price of grain falls outside during the autumn harvest, he will only charge [-]% of our grain!"

"If Master Jeff leaves, another lord will come, which is similar to the Corfu family... then what will we do!"

The entropy does not increase, and it falls into silence again.

Due to the complexity of the original family, although the entropy does not increase, although he is young, his understanding of the world is no lower than that of adults who have lived for decades.

For example, this matter, if the entropy does not increase, it will be very clear... Whether the little mistress in the country is empathizing with someone else is actually not too difficult for a knight with status like Robert Jeff Well, if people really cared about this Janet, they wouldn't leave them in the country.

But for the villagers of Lanna Village, Robert Jeff's little things are their big things.

In order to "protect" Master Jeff, who is a little more "merciful" than other lords and who sucks blood not too hard, the villagers here can do what they think they should do calmly.

Let a young girl who they think is "disrespectful" and "knowing what is good or bad" be silent at a young age, and everyone agrees that "being an old man's mistress is very happy" is not allowed, and she is not even allowed to express her resistance by extreme hanging. Her personal likes, sorrows, pains, and anger were strictly hidden, and her existence was completely wiped out. Even the investigator "Mountain Mouse" who had investigated this matter did not know her name...of course, " correct" thing.

But at least, this kind of thing is not true for that girl, she is not willing to disappear without a sound, she uses her way to shout to everyone who can't see her: she is there, she is there.
