All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

Half a month had passed unknowingly, and the messenger mentioned at the beginning of the copy still hadn't arrived.

Wang Zhifan has been fully devoted to the study of rules these days, intending to build a sufficiently favorable and stable rule system for himself before the messenger arrives.

Other players are still trying their best to collect intelligence and gradually deepen their understanding of the so-called messenger, but much of the information they obtain is incomplete or even wrong. After all, they do not have a powerful AI like Xiaohong to help them.

At this moment, in the ruins of Bamo City, a total of four players from the Han Country were hiding in a dilapidated building, carefully relying on their own reconnaissance props to observe the surrounding situation.

"The red dot is still there. The Peace Walkers haven't left. Be careful of their sneak attacks."

The leader player with small eyes spoke in a low voice, looking a little tired, no longer with the ferocity he had half a month ago to hunt down Wang Zhifan.

"Boss, it's been half a month. We can't keep wasting time with them like this! We still have to fight the messengers and get the core! We must find a way to eliminate all these annoying fleas!"

The square-faced Han country player complained in a bad mood after hearing this. There was nothing he could do. Anyone who failed in hunting a Peaceful Walker half a month ago and was harassed for more than ten days in a row would feel frustrated.

As soon as he finished speaking, voices that had made their ears calloused could be heard from multiple directions:
"Listen up, people inside! We are a peaceful organization! We have no intention of destroying you! But the crimes you committed must be brought to justice!

Now please lay down your weapons, enter the prison and cleanse all your crimes! Otherwise, our peace organization will forcibly arrest you, and then the time it takes to cleanse your sins will be greatly extended..."

boom! boom! boom! boom!
Before the shouts were over, four rockets flew out of the building, rushing towards the source of the sound at high speed, creating a violent explosion. It was the Han country player who liked to hold a tablet in his hands who made the move.

"Damn those fleas! They escaped again! All my missiles were locked on the target!"

The player took a look at the information feedback on the tablet in his hand and started cursing. He was no longer as calm as he was half a month ago.

"Alas, they are too fast, and they are becoming more and more familiar with our methods and more and more defensive. This is bound to be the result."

The only female player among the four shook her head and sighed.

In her hand she held the flashlight prop that had once sealed off the Peace Walker Silver Falcon, but now the weapon was almost a mere decoration.

Because the people from the peace organization were on guard, she couldn't take any pictures of them.

After all, the range of this item is very short, so it can only be used for close-range sneak attacks.

While the few of them were talking, the explosion had no follow-up at all.

The Han country player holding a tablet saw that the several red dots that he had just driven away with missile attacks were now approaching from all sides again.

"They're coming again! What should we do now!"

Seeing this, the player turned to look at his companion with small eyes and asked irritably.

The main reason for all these situations is that the kidnapping operation that the other party had planned had failed, which resulted in them being harassed by a group of annoying NPCs that were running around. If everyone had used more peaceful means at the beginning, things would definitely not have turned out like this.

"We now have two options to choose from."

The Han player with small eyes spoke in a deep voice. He didn't seem to be very impatient and was much more stable than his other companions.

"One is to use all our strength to kill all those guys outside, let them know how powerful we are, and then give up on us.

The advantage of doing this is that the success rate is the highest, but the disadvantage is that it will affect our ability to deal with the messenger later."

"One is to follow the current conditions, pretend to submit to them, enter their prison, gather intelligence and rest while preparing for war.

The advantage is that it preserves combat power, but the disadvantage is that you may have to use some tricks in prison."

As he spoke, he observed the expressions of the other three people and found that they showed no emotion when they heard plan one, but seemed to be thinking about something after hearing plan two.

"Boss, isn't your second plan too dangerous? If these people deceive us and wait for us to stop resisting before launching a fierce attack, we will be in dire straits..."

The square-faced player replied in an uncertain tone. It was obvious that he didn't want to fight any more, but he didn't dare to surrender, even if it was just a fake surrender.

"Haha, this is what you don't understand. You said we have been fighting this peace organization for half a month, but have they ever launched a death offensive against us? They have been trying to catch us all the time! If they really want to kill us, they have plenty of opportunities! This shows that they have no intention of killing us!
Besides, our surrender does not mean we are really surrendering. As long as we put all our equipment into our personal space and make some special preparations for defense and escape, there will be no problem escaping from them later!
On the contrary, I think entering their prison is a good opportunity. I can get in touch with more NPCs to gather intelligence. We are currently lagging far behind in intelligence because we have been entangled with them for too long..."

After listening to his analysis, the other three immediately felt that there was some truth in it. In addition, they had been fighting against the Peace Organization for too long and were mentally exhausted. They were also always thinking about obtaining the core of the messenger to pass the level, so they thought this was an option.

Therefore, after a while, the four players from the Han Country made corresponding preparations and took the initiative to surrender to the peace organization that surrounded them, expressing their willingness to enter their prison to be punished.

As a special organization that follows the rules of peace, the Peace Organization naturally did not engage in any conspiracy. They tied them all up in a peaceful way, took them to the underground of Bamo City, and locked them up in a prison full of peace education.

Originally, this result was more acceptable to both parties, but the problem was that not long after, Wang Zhifan, who had nothing to do with them and had been studying the rules, accidentally changed some settings.

"According to the research over the past few days, it can be determined that the rules left by the messenger are not just rules, but will also have a subtle impact on this world...

This will not help me unleash my maximum power when the messengers arrive, so I have to eliminate all traces of them before they arrive!"

After Wang Zhifan had this realization, he began to diligently explore the deepest part of this world and cut off all the rules left by the messengers, which naturally included the rules that bound the peace organization and the rules that affected the environmental protection organization.

This led to a consequence that he was not aware of, that is, the Han country player who had just pretended to surrender and entered the prison of the Peace Organization suddenly found that the gazes of the peace walkers around him were becoming more and more abnormal from being fair and harmless, and later they were like a wolf showing its fangs, venting hatred towards them and everything around them!

Although they were prepared for this situation, when things really developed in this direction, the obstacles they encountered were enormous.

This eventually triggered the first wave of deaths among the player group, and only two of the four-person group managed to escape the Peace Organization's prison alive.

On the other hand, the foreign player group that used violence to establish its dominance in the underground civilian area of ​​​​Bamo City was in a much better situation. This group of people was a group of six people, with a full number of players and strong average strength. In particular, the leader, the white female player, was very strong, allowing them to easily replace the original local snakes in the civilian area, obtain a lot of intelligence channels, and also inquire about a lot of information about the messenger from the rich area.

At this moment, they held a meeting in a room to discuss strategies for clearing this copy.

"From the intelligence we have collected so far, we can confirm that the messenger is a very mysterious and powerful being. It may be an alien from this world. It is powerful enough to crush the humans in this world. We must not underestimate it."

The black girl in charge of collecting intelligence expressed her opinion, inferring that the messenger they had been wondering about for so long came from another planet in this world.

"I don't think the messengers are aliens. According to the descriptions of many NPCs, although they are very vague and not specific enough, we cannot be sure that the messengers' power is definitely technological. Perhaps they are enemies of the mysterious side. We must not be confused by the current worldview."

A white youth then voiced his objection. Although he had no clear evidence to indicate what form the messenger took, his intuition told him that the messenger might not be an enemy with a higher level of technology.

"Yes, I went to the research institute outside the city yesterday and obtained some latest intelligence. At present, I tend to believe that the messenger is a powerful non-technological enemy that requires us to use all our strength to fight against it."

The leading Bai Nu finally expressed her own opinion. Unlike her companions who focused on collecting intelligence in the underground city, she sent her puppets to go outside the city, met other powerful players, and shared their intelligence.

Different from the various statements made by the NPCs in the basement of Bamo City about the messenger, the NPCs at the research institute were much more pessimistic, which made this expert player feel that things were not that simple and that he had to raise his expectations of the messenger's strength.

"In that research institute, I also heard that there is a long-preserved encrypted document that is in the process of being cracked. The NPCs believe that this document is very important and can reveal the true identity of the messenger.

However, its encryption is very complex and difficult to crack. Several players from other teams who are good at information technology are working with the NPCs. We must closely follow up on the cracking of this data. "

Ms. Bai mentioned another noteworthy piece of information, which is the top-secret information that AI Xiaohong cracked for Wang Zhifan in the computer room of the research institute half a month ago. It is currently being paid close attention to by NPCs and players. This is undoubtedly the impact of Wang Zhifan eliminating multiple restrictive rules.

“How much meaning can an old document have?
We should trust the intelligence we have recently obtained, be prepared to eliminate the messenger, and then seize the messenger's core to complete the mission.

Regarding eliminating the messenger, I think it is necessary to reach an agreement with other teams as soon as possible. I have already contacted 60% of the other teams, and I still need you to come forward to discuss with the leaders of other player teams.

When the time comes, everyone should work together to eliminate the messenger, and not get involved in meaningless infighting before meeting the core of the messenger.

Even more ideal is that all players unite as one, eliminate enough messengers at one time, and then each team takes away a messenger core to successfully pass the level.

Of course, this is just an ideal situation, and the chances of it actually being realized are slim.”

Another member spoke up, and the content of his speech was no longer limited to the messenger intelligence, but directly pointed to the overall strategy for clearing the current copy, emphasizing the need to unite with other teams.

The leader, Bai Nu, nodded and said that she was already negotiating the matter.

To be more specific, when this copy just started, she had a verbal agreement in this regard with the leaders of other teams, and now it is a matter of further implementing the verbal agreement.

“The Xia team has agreed to join forces with us to deal with the envoy and completely stop all hostile actions between players.

The evil people also agreed, but they asked to choose the core envoy first, and I did not respond for the time being.

The Indian team also had this intention, but they said they had to ensure they were the first to pass the level. I suggested that they have a duel with the evil country team to determine the order.

There are still a few groups and lone wolf players that I haven’t contacted yet, I hope they won’t follow suit and make demands…”

There was a hint of smile on her face when she said this, vaguely mocking other players for overestimating their own abilities.

"Boss, when the time comes to fight for the Emissary Core, I want to use that item. I can't miss this good opportunity. I have to blackmail other players!"

The white male player suddenly interrupted and gave an idea.

"Hehe...blackmail alone can't satisfy my appetite."

But the white woman narrowed her eyes and shook her head.

"If circumstances allow, I hope that the six of us will be the only team to clear this dungeon, and that the other players will serve as nutrients for our progress...

It seems that this will be a bit difficult to do at the moment, because I found two other players who are difficult to deal with.

Perhaps after dealing with the messenger, it would be more practical to deal with the other players of average strength one by one, and let them all die on the way to deliver the messenger core."

This woman actually wanted to catch all the players who could be dealt with in one fell swoop. It can be seen that the joint agreement she proposed was just to facilitate the handling of the messenger, and she would turn against them once the goal was achieved.

There is no doubt that she is not the only one who has this idea.

After all, the other players in this dungeon are not simple characters either. Anyone who can reach this level cannot be a pure and innocent little white rabbit.

Every player is well aware of what others are thinking. Cooperating to obtain resources to pass the dungeon is only temporary, while seizing other players' equipment is their unchanging desire.

But these players have made a mistake in one premise. They probably don’t have the ability to easily obtain the messenger core, and it is difficult for them to reach the stage of internal fighting.

This is the impact of intelligence differences.

Because Wang Zhifan had already cracked the top-secret information, his strategy was focused on dealing with the messenger, and he did not dare to be careless towards the messenger.

Other players have not yet been exposed to this information. Although various signs show that the messengers are not simple, no one truly regards them as the number one enemy.

They just thought that the messenger was a difficult problem but could be solved if they were more careful, and their deepest thoughts were still on other players. (End of this chapter)
