Chapter 356. Weld The Door Shut.

Fawn followed a total of six crime scenes, and the number of victims kept increasing. Even as a war reporter, he couldn't stand it anymore.

He then remembered that the victims must have complained a lot, so he quickly opened the forum.

Sure enough, all the posts were filled with complaints, and it wasn't just this abnormal Dark Night Swift.

The monster's strength did not increase at all, but there was a qualitative leap in intelligence.

For example, although everyone knew that the monsters in "Fantasy World" would let go of their hatred and stick to their own beliefs. To put it bluntly, the regular Tank-Aggro was useless. Monsters were not fools. They could tell that the one with the highest threat value was not the tank in front of them, but the fragile Mage and Hunters hiding behind them, or the Priests who made the tank hard.

Although everyone was aware of this, they also knew that it was extremely limited. The combat experience of monsters and players was not engraved in their genes, but slowly awakened as they fought, and would not be inherited.

It wasn't that just one monster mastering this skill would benefit the group. This was just a temporary response.

According to general experience, the first fifth of a battle was when the monsters were the most terrified and stupid. At this time. they could deal almost half the damage of the entire battle, and then the battle of wits and courage would be over.

But the f*cking monsters of Ravesland didn't fall for it!

As soon as the formation was set up, before the tanks could pull the healers and the DPS could attack, a group of targeted monsters suddenly rushed in from all directions and drowned them. The healers were often the first to drown.

Are you kidding me?

The system had been prepared for this. The "Presence Reduction" skill for healers had already taken up half of the skill list, and the only thing missing was a group invisibility.

What was this? Was he a monster?

It was fine if the aggro was chaotic, but what was the meaning of this targeting?

A shooting team with Hunters as their main force was killed by a group of flea-like Dark Night Swifts because the opponent was too fast, they had no time to aim, and the game experience was extremely poor!

A bulldozer team with a Swordsman as their main force was burned to death by the team of Destroyers floating in magic flames. When these tin cans died, they didn't feel like they were in Ravesland, but in a lava pit!

And the most tragic, the most luxurious team of passers-by, the Mages' full team, encountered a group of mage-killers.

The mage-killer was a group monster.

The Phantom Jellyfish, which was almost immune to physical attacks, ate the Spirit Flayers, which were almost immune to magic attacks, leaving a few tentacles outside.

Then, using the jellyfish's ability to float, he landed!

Because they were cold light sources, they would be discovered within a few dozen meters of the players. Then, since physical attacks were ineffective against the air, it was natural for the mages to show their skills and kill the group of paratroopers one by one.

But then, the Phantom Jellyfish completed its mission and exploded into fireworks in mid-air. One after another, Spirit Flayers jumped out from the jellyfish, like a hurricane sweeping the natives of the sea to the land. Octopuses descended from the sky, and the spirit flayers turned into face-hugging bugs. This was an extremely profound lesson for the Mages in the team!

What else could he say?

Normal people couldn't play so many tricks, and this was a f*cking demon?

As he watched the complaints in the forum get louder and louder, Fawn suddenly noticed a detail.

It seemed that there was a wave of people missing?

Where was Mandela, who had been in the limelight and was also the leader of this expedition?

What about Sumeru?

Where are the people from the 'Flame' and 'Ghost'?

Where did all these pay-to-win players and hard-core players go? Usually, they were all mysterious in the forum, but now, they still didn't come out to show their skills or let everyone see the world?

Now that he had calmed down and thought about it, Fawn suddenly realized that there might be a story behind this.

The people of "Mandela" were silent, probably because they had not entered the venue.

As for the other two guilds, they were already standing on the opposite side of the players because of the initial opposition, and now most of the players were opposing this group of smart monsters.

As a journalist, Fawn's strong divergent thinking suddenly gave him a terrifying idea.

Could it be that the players from these two guilds were controlling these intelligent monsters?

What exactly was that in Ravesland?

He suddenly felt that this matter was getting more and more outrageous.

...

The people from Mandela had not entered the venue yet, but they would be there soon.

It would be too much to say that the players in this Guild had a high average player rate, but without exception, they were all players who were full of desire for the game's content and were not at all calm. The people on the forum were full of complaints, but they did not retreat. Instead, they had the urgent thought of "let me be happy", just like a bow that was constantly pulled, and now the bowstring was already tight.

Seeing that the data collection was almost done, Sumeru turned on the microphone in the team channel.

"As everyone can see, this matter is obviously not ordinary. This is also the reason why I'm not in a hurry to go down."

"From the pictures sent by Abbachio, I think this is a large-scale instance with a hidden guardian-type mission."

As soon as he said that, the players who were already excited became even more excited!

Based on the information gathered, the bosses on the forum divided the missions related to monster interaction into four categories: guarding, annihilating, repelling, and escorting. Among the guarding-type missions, there was an obvious feature, and that was the difficulty was closely related to the item the monster was guarding.

The reason was very simple. There were almost no rewards for guardian-type missions along the way, unlike annihilation missions that counted as many as they could defeat or repel as many as they could. The reward settlement was similar to escort missions. If they did not persist until the end, they would be drawing water from a wicker basket.

Because of this, the entire process was focused on the final reward, and all of them were valuable items.

But now, thinking about it carefully, what were these monsters guarding for a mission that involved tens of thousands of people?

Could it be some kind of weapon to deal with Zin'rokh?

"As for what it is, I'll keep you in suspense first. You'll understand when the time comes," Sumeru laughed, causing a wave of boos.

"However, you have to face the difficulty of this mission. As you can see from the forum, the ones standing in front of us are not monsters, but more cunning than players!"

"I have a bold guess ... this is players controlling monsters, or else they wouldn't behave like this!"

The audience was suddenly enlightened. No wonder they felt that something was wrong. This was definitely the intensity of PvP!

How could PvE be so miserable?

"Even if my guess is wrong, the strength of these monsters is definitely at the level of PvP. So I want you to adjust your equipment and mentality and make this an official war, not an instance dungeon."

"Fantasy World" did not have any requirements for PvP. There were no rules like traditional online games—you could do whatever you wanted, as long as you did not get caught.

In this regard, players were treated the same as natives. Even if they were God's chosen ones and Immortal, the guards would have completely different reactions when they attacked players of different identities.

Therefore, PvP was carried out aimlessly in a free environment. It was common and omnipresent, but it was not linked to the rewards.

This was why the update after the first maintenance was unprecedented. It was the first time that the game had a custom playstyle for Fantasy World, which was far from the high degree of freedom that it had always been implemented.

Back to this group of people, after changing their equipment, most of the players gave up on the equipment on the interface and changed to functional items.

Because of the high degree of freedom in "Fantasy World" in the customization of classes, there might be a Mage pulling out a large shield from his crotch, a Shielder flashing and drifting all the way, or a healer throwing a healer stick and shouting, "I don't want to be a healer anymore!" He changed to a gun from the mechanical relic and changed to physical damage.

A player's imagination had always been boundless.

Looking at the changes in the Guild members, Sumeru was very satisfied.

He waved his hand.

"Let's go!"

"The main event is about to begin."

Char looked out of the window and at the players that were increasing in number in the new city, and turned around to speak to everyone.

"We should get to work?"

Huangfu Shou immediately stood up.

This guy was a warmonger, and he had long been unable to hold back.

"Sit down, sit down, this has nothing to do with you."

Char waved his hand and held the guy down.

"This time, it's to eliminate the trend of 'formation camp'. If you, a Ghost Hunter player, jump out and stand on the opposite side of the players, then all our hard work will be in vain.

"Then we ... Why are you still sitting there?" Nelwin could not help but ask.

"You have work to do, but not on the battlefield. You're in the base."

Char pointed out the window. "Do you see those confused and bewildered faces outside? It's time to show the 'I don't want the Fantasy World' side. Help them complete all kinds of missions and become a part of the army of tools."

Nelwin was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

It was only now that she suddenly understood Char's intentions.

"You want the players to help build this city?"

"Yes, when a person has gained enough frustration from fighting and killing, a little game with timely feedback and a great sense of accomplishment is enough to make him addicted quickly, especially when the rewards are good. With a little guidance, the city's development speed can be increased by dozens of times."

"What about you?" Apple Pie clearly sensed that something was wrong.

Every time this guy ran away, he would arrange these things clearly.

The more he explained, the more he wanted to run!

"I'll go with you!"

"Eh?"

"No matter what you're going to do, don't even think of leaving me behind!"

Apple Pie maintained her usual attitude and put on a posture of being lazy to pester.

"Yes..."

Char was in a difficult position when he suddenly saw Rosswealth stand up.

"Don't cause any more trouble, little sister."

The dark rose chuckled as she stood up, then walked in front of Char and kissed him on the cheek.

"Be careful when you're alone."

After she finished speaking, she left arrogantly like a peacock that had spread its tail, leaving behind a group of people in the room whose jaws dropped in shock.

Unlike the Apple Pie, the others had never had a deep impression of the relationship between Char's NPCs. Now that they saw a female NPC acting so intimately, they suddenly felt that they had played the game for nothing for so long.

"She ... Why did she just kiss you? How many favorable impression points would that be? Big Boss! Can this be taught?"

"H-how did you do it?" Huangfu Shou muttered.

"Don't you have a girlfriend?"

Ghost Lantern's girlfriend, who was also the quietest of the four big shots of the Ghost Hunters, Hanzu, suddenly said this.

Huangfu Shou immediately looked dejected like a wilted eggplant.

"I... I... I was just asking..."

He smiled in a daze.

"Actually, I'm also curious about how this is done." Hanzu changed the topic and asked.

Her gaze swept ambiguously between Char and Apple Pie.

Her woman's intuition told her that the relationship between these two people was not as simple as that of a niece and second uncle.

Do you really think that? What was this?

The atmosphere suddenly became complicated, and Char was also a little confused by Rosswealth's move.

As the only native who knew about the existence of 'players', she really used a big move as soon as she started.

"This has nothing to do with favorability."

Char quickly adjusted his state of mind and explained in his usual gaming-like tone, "She's a special NPC, bound to me. You can understand it that way."

"Then let me ask you something. This is a game for all ages, right?" Huangfu Shou couldn't help but ask.

Char really wanted to beat this guy to death. He was obviously not very smart, but why did he ask questions that were all on point!

"Of course."

Apple Pie answered on behalf of Char.

"How else did you pass the interrogation? Don't you think about how strict China's assessment system is?" she added.

"Oh... That's true, so many players have been struck to death by heavenly lightning, and they'll be beaten up if they look a few more times..."

Huangfu Shou curled his lips and gave up on that little bit of fantasy.

He didn't find anything wrong with the Apple Pie taking the initiative to answer this question.

However, Hanzu discovered it.

​ She cast a strange look at the Apple Pie, which the latter avoided subconsciously.

There was indeed a problem...

Hanzu nodded to herself.

Nelwin was very depressed. She had felt strange ever since Rosswealth showed her ownership through the kiss. Now, the way she spoke was also strange. And looking at the flirtatious glances between them.

That was even stranger!

But she didn't know why it was strange, and she had a feeling... These three people of the same sex were well aware of this series of things, but she didn't know.

Yes, she was the only one who didn't know why they were acting like this.

She suddenly felt that she was just like the men in this room. Her mind was as rough as matte, and a file could be polished into a letter opener.

Then, there was a burst of anger for no reason.

"Work! What are you doing? get up and work!"

She shouted with her hands on her hips, like a class monitor who specialized in dealing with all kinds of dissatisfaction.

The people in the house were driven out, but Apple Pie stayed.

Everyone did not seem to think there was anything wrong with this, or perhaps he found something wrong but didn't say anything.

Char was very embarrassed. He regretted not building a teleportation circle to the outside world, or he would have stepped on it.

"Hey, I just realized something," Apple Pie suddenly said.

"Eh? What?"

"I think that only by causing you some trouble will you remember me and not run away so easily. Is that right?"

She walked closer and looked up at Char.

This face still looked a little young, but when she asked this question, the slyness and wit that flashed in her eyes completely exceeded that of her age.

There was also a hint of teasing.

It was too ridiculous...

Char suddenly realized that this girl did not seem to be easy to deal with.

It had been from the beginning.

"Ha ... What do you mean run away? I've never run away before."

Char chuckled as he prepared his Shadow Phase.

Bang!

A pack of "Revealing Dust" was slapped into the air by Apple Pie. Then, with a "clang", she kicked the stool behind her. The latter took off and accurately hit the button at the door, closing the door of the command room.

Fine, she had perfectly sealed off his escape route. There wasn't even a single gap for him to slip through.

Shadow Phase seemed to be a "Phase Shift ", but it was actually wriggling in the crack. She even robbed him of the option of invisibility.

"Hey, this is a little too much. Stop it, I still have important things to deal with," he said helplessly.

"I'm not fooling around. I just want to verify something. I have a feeling that if I miss this chance, I won't have another one."

"Ha?"

Char was stunned, he could not guess what she was going to ask.

The expression of the Apple Pie suddenly became serious.

"Thigh, is this even a game?"

Char was shocked.

However, what surprised him was yet to come.

"And are you even human?"
