The copy has 0 error tolerance, and the last words on the ground are all wrong for me.

Chapter 173 Big Brawl

Based on his own experience in clearing levels, Wu Chang discovered that speeding up the main storyline does not actually increase the difficulty of the dungeon, but makes it simpler.

It's a very simple logic. The default time limit in the copy is actually closely related to the plan of the copy BOSS.

Although speeding up the main storyline will leave players with less time to prepare, if the players don't have time to prepare, the dungeon BOSS will also not have time to prepare.

However, the time that players enter the plane is very short, so the difference between being prepared and not being prepared is not that big, but it is different for the dungeon BOSS. If the event happens a few days or even hours in advance, it is possible that the BOSS's years of preparation will go to waste.

This quick attack tactic has been effective many times in the past when conquering dungeons.

It’s such a simple truth that you can understand it if you think about it.

As for why other players don’t do this, it’s probably because they don’t work as hard as he does.

After all, Wu Chang has been able to get to where he is today thanks to his talent and hard work.

He saw that Cui Chengze had a plan, and it was related to his job transfer task. He was very anxious, but he still kept his composure and asked:
"What is the method to leave the shipwreck zone in advance?"

Cui Chengze was not as excited as Wu Changxi and said:

"Everything in the world is in accordance with the original power of the world. The reason why the shipwreck belt can trap ships is not because people think it is in the layer between parallel worlds or some other space as they speculate about the Thousand Muda Quadrilateral. It is because the entire sea area of ​​the shipwreck belt is a huge natural mystical ritual!"

"It's just that it has its own internal cycle, and no energy escapes, so it's difficult for ordinary mystics to sense it, and it's also difficult for them to interact with the energy within."

Having said that, Cui Chengze tightly grasped the secret trial emblem and continued:

"But you are different. You can directly contact the source of mysticism. You are not among the ordinary mystic scholars. The way you absorb mystical energy is enough to affect or even destroy the balance of the mystical cycle in the shipwreck zone."

"I only need to arrange a larger and more effective mystical ritual according to the mystical ritual on this emblem. When the time comes, we will activate the formation and temporarily drain away all the mystical sources around the Star Leap, creating a gap in the shipwreck belt."

"Once the gap is formed, the Star Leap will automatically leave through the gap!"

After hearing this, Wu Chang nodded calmly. From a logical and theoretical point of view, Cui Chengze's method worked.

To put it another way, even if you fail, it won't have any impact, so you can give it a try.

"How long does it take to set up an occult ritual?"

Cui Chengze looked at the arcane trial emblem and estimated: "It will take me at least three days to comprehend the ritual in the emblem, one day to transform the ritual, and only one day to set up the ritual if everything goes well."

Wu Chang frowned and asked, "What if it doesn't go well?"

Cui Chengze said solemnly: "If things don't go smoothly, we will have to prepare for a head-on conflict with the New Universe Sect. To arrange a large-scale ceremony, we have to enter many important areas of the ship. Now that the Star Leap is under their control, it will be difficult for me to hide my actions from them."

Wu Chang thought for a moment and said, "I will find a way to gain control of the Star Leap. You don't need to worry about that. You just need to focus on analyzing the mystical rituals on the emblem."

Cui Chengze nodded and said, "I will try my best."

Cui Chengze was leaving Wu Chang's study with the emblem of the arcane trial, but halfway through his walk he suddenly scratched his head.

That's not right. His original intention of coming here was to teach Wu Chang the basic knowledge of mysticism. Why didn't he teach the part he was responsible for at all? Instead, he brought a homework to go back and study.

Never mind, the goal has been achieved anyway, and he prefers learning to teaching.

The first night that the Star Leap entered the shipwreck zone was destined not to be peaceful.

After a whole day of being trapped in a maze, and then encountering the ghost ship Song of the Sea that had been missing for two years, everyone on the ship was extremely nervous.

Many people had nightmares in which they heard unclear calls or saw something horrible in their dreams.

But when they woke up, they had no memory of what happened in their dreams. They just felt extremely low and sore all over, as if they had run a whole marathon around the deck at night.

This feeling of depression and listlessness was not only seen in ordinary passengers, but even the outstanding believers of the New Universe Sect had dark circles under their eyes when they got up.

Every morning prayer they held while sitting around the fourth deck became weak.

Wu Chang saw it all at this moment. He knew what happened to everyone. Last night, the call from the depths of the sea became louder, requiring him to be more focused in order to block out that call.

Even he, whose inspiration value exceeded 87 and willpower was as high as , was affected. There was no reason why ordinary passengers on the ship would not be affected.

However, he still needs to wait and see whether this influence is included in the plan of the New Universe Sect.

As a native of the dungeon, especially a cool and arrogant tycoon boss, he cannot take any proactive actions before the situation becomes clear.

So he sent all the men except Choi Sung-taek out to keep an eye on the situation and to investigate. He himself went to the bar on the fifth floor of the Star Leap, and like a hidden NPC in a dungeon, he leisurely drank and waited for someone to take the bait.

Now is the second day since entering the shipwreck zone, and people have not yet realized that entering the shipwreck zone is just like entering a larger ghost wall from a small ghost wall.

People thought they were out of danger, not knowing that they would be trapped in this sea area for a long time, which is why the Star Leap has not yet controlled food and alcohol.

Wu Chang took advantage of this time to collect a lot of wine and food and put them into his personal space.

If Choi Sung-taek's plan fails, they will have to stay in the shipwreck zone for thirty days, and he doesn't want to have to eat those weird fish.

He sat in the bar all day, until it was almost evening and dark, when a person suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Mr. Li, I have observed you for a day, and you don't seem to care about the current problem."

Wu Chang raised his eyes and looked at the other person. He was a thin man. He was wearing a black tights that looked like bandages wrapped around him. His already thin body looked like a human clothes drying rack. His clothes swayed when he walked.

But his thin body made him look exceptionally light, so light that his feet did not touch the ground. Wu Chang observed that the direction and shape of the long hair on the carpet did not change when the other person stepped on it.

With quick movements, light body and concealed breath, he is definitely a good material for stealing.

Talent.

"you are?"

"You can call me Shadow."

Wu Chang shook his head and said indifferently: "I haven't heard of it. Do you have something to talk to me about?"

Shadow smiled and said, "I came here to tell you something. You, or the entire Star Leap, are about to face a disaster!"

Wu Chang raised his eyebrows. This threatening opening remark was quite interesting.

He pointed to the seat opposite him and said, "Tell me more about it."

Shadow said, "The area where the Star Leap is now staying is called the Shipwreck Zone. Once a ship enters, it is extremely difficult to get out. If we don't unite and save ourselves, what awaits us is being trapped here and dying."

"To unite everyone, we need a leader. I think you, Mr. Li, are the most suitable to be this leader, and I am willing to be your first and most loyal follower."

Wu Chang shook his wine glass. Wow, this guy is instigating him to set up a stick. Jian Xing and the negotiation master are not so anxious.

"What are you good at?"

The shadow suddenly disappeared, and then a black shadow flashed and appeared behind Wu Chang.

"Concealment, infiltration, surveillance, tracking, assassination, all are what you need most."

Wu Chang secretly sighed, aren't these the jobs he is best at? Lao Liu has done all the work for you, so what should I do?
However, Shadow is indeed strong, especially in terms of agility, which he is good at, far surpassing anyone he has now.

If faced with Shadow's assassination, it would be difficult for others to react except for him who relies on inspiration, and Jianxing who relies on his job transfer talent, Jianxin.

"You said you were good at tracking, right?"

Shadow nodded.

Wu Chang described the appearance of the secret ritual master and the werewolf he saw in the cargo hold last night, "How about if you find one of them, you will pass the test?"

A line of prompts popped up in front of Shadow:
"Li Zaishe has issued a faction trial mission to you. Among the two targets, you must investigate the true identity of at least one person on the ship. If you complete the trial mission, you can join Li Zaishe's faction."

Shadow's face lit up with joy, he had made the right bet, this legendary hidden NPC did in fact have its own power!
If there are two words that are the most valuable in the Abyss game, it must be hidden! Anything related to hidden, whether it is a task, item, job change, or character, represents rarity and power.

The hidden forces were no exception. Fortunately, he acted quickly and got the advantage!
"No problem, I will find them out as soon as possible."

After Shadow finished speaking, he disappeared.

Shadow was not the only clever guy who had set his sights on Wu Chang. His initial walk around the port played a role at this moment.

In the next two hours, five more people sat opposite him and expressed their desire to join his forces.

There were two people whose strength was too weak to be compared with Wu Chang and the Negotiation Master who were in their early twenties. They relied purely on their luck and the number of dungeons they played to reach level 30 in one round.

He eliminated these two people and issued corresponding tasks to the remaining three people.

When the last person was about to leave, Wu Chang, as a hidden NPC, gave a very humane reminder.

"When I hire people to do things, I focus on quality rather than quantity. Four people came to me tonight, and I will only hire the first three who complete the task."

After saying that, he left the bar, returned to the bedroom, and never appeared again.

Having not yet made up their minds, the players who were watching could not help but slap their thighs in regret.

As expected, hesitation will lead to defeat, and the opportunity to join the hidden force will be gone.

Back in the room, Wu Chang reviewed what happened in the bar today.

The number of players who came to him, plus those who were detected by his inspiration, totaled more than twelve.

Judging from the emotions conveyed in their eyes, at least ten of them want to join the force he has established.

By this calculation, the number of players entering the Silent Route copy is more than he imagined, at least more than thirty people.

If the upper limit for each faction to receive is 5 people, just like him, then it means there are at least 5-6 factions on the ship.

It's still a big brawl copy.

On the second night after entering the wreck zone, after a whole day of prayer, the mental state of the passengers on the ship did not improve, but became worse.

That night, the passengers' calls in their dreams were clearer.

Passengers with artistic talents or inspiration and intuition beyond ordinary people sat up from their beds in response to the call, walked out of the cabin, and headed towards the deck in a half-asleep and half-awake state.

A student from Anjin High School climbed over the fence in his sleep and jumped into the sea, pursuing the call in his dream.

They were awakened from their dreams only when the cold sea water hit their faces. They twisted their bodies frantically, trying to steady themselves in the waves and float to the surface to call for help.

But in the cold sea water, their limbs soon cramped, their bodies became heavy, and with bubbles gurgling out of their mouths, they sank towards the calling sound from the bottom of the sea.

Just when the high school student was about to lose consciousness completely, he felt a beam of light penetrate into the water from the sea surface. Then the light circled around him, and a rope was wrapped around his waist.

"rise!"

Along with the shouts of the man on the deck, the high school student weighing more than 140 pounds was pulled out of the water and flew back to the deck.

Jian Xing retracted the flying sword with the rope wrapped around the hilt, threw the high school student to the ship's doctor, and turned back to ask the negotiation master:
"This is the seventh one tonight. How did the boss know that something would happen tonight and arrange for us to stay here in advance?"

The negotiation master curled his lips and said, "Perhaps this is the value of the hidden character. Although I have never seen the boss take action, I am sure that he is not worse than the secret master. At least the secret master is not immune to the judgment I initiate with the title."

Jian Xing looked around and whispered, "Do you think the boss will be the final boss? That's what it says in the novels."

The negotiation master said nonchalantly, "As long as we are not in the same group as the evil god followers, whether it is the BOSS or not has nothing to do with us. I have cleared so many dungeons and have never been a villain."

Jian Xing was about to say something when he suddenly saw a sports student who could run in his sleepwalking come out of the cabin and rush directly towards the fence.

"We'll talk about it later. It's the eighth one!"

This was not an easy night for Jian Xing and the Master of Negotiation.

When the two men reported at dawn, they had rescued forty or fifty passengers who were sleepwalking and intended to jump into the sea.

And this was the second night after the Star Leap entered the shipwreck zone.

Seven of them were rescued after falling into the sea. According to Jian Xing, the passengers who were guided by unknown calls to jump into the sea would have a very weak sense of presence when they were sleepwalking, and they would ignore these people as long as their attention was slightly distracted.

Many times they realized someone was about to jump into the sea only after hearing the sound of someone climbing over a fence or an object falling into the water.

The ship's medical room was no longer able to accommodate the passengers who fell into the water, so the ship's doctor temporarily requisitioned part of the cargo hold and converted it into a temporary medical room to accommodate these patients.

Wu Chang went to the cargo hold to take a look at the people who fell into the water and found that they were not believers of the New Universe Sect and there were no marks of rituals on their bodies.

No wonder Park Changmin and others did not take action. They were not worried that too many people would jump into the sea and that they would not be able to gather enough offerings for sacrifice after thirty days.

They probably wish more people would jump into the sea to show that those who believe in the New Universe Sect are immune to this horrific sleepwalking and thus attract believers.

When Wu Chang left the cargo hold, he met Li Yubin who was heading to the cargo hold in the corridor.

The number of players following Li Yubin increased from two to three.

Wu Chang never overestimates the moral level of Abyss game players. The reason why Li Yubin can gather so many followers is definitely not because of his personal charm or his desire to expose the darkness of society, which resonates with the players.

It is obvious that Li Yubin has also established her own power.

Wu Chang glanced at the three people behind her and smiled subconsciously.

The quality of these three people is not very good, and the strongest one is only at the level of Jianxing. They are just noobs who band together for warmth.

Li Yubin's power ranking should be below his.

As the two passed each other, Li Yubin called Wu Chang and said, "Li Zaishe."

Wu Chang said, "What's the matter?"

Li Yubin said: "I heard that you arranged for people to rescue these passengers."

Wu Chang said expressionlessly: "And then?"

Li Yubin narrowed his eyes, looked at Wu Chang in confusion, and said, "How did you know something would happen last night?"

Wu Chang shrugged and said, "Intuition."

Li Yubin was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll talk to you about something later, so please stay in the room and wait for me."

Wu Chang: "Should I take a shower first?"

"If you think so, you can focus on cleaning your neck." Li Yubin shook his head and led his people into the temporary infirmary.

Wu Chang left the cargo hold and first paid a visit to the New Universe Sect.

Even though he had two eyeballs from the other boss and had ruined his plans last night, he could only pretend he didn't know. Park Changmin had to bear it and smile as he let him experience the believers' prayers.

Wu Chang openly investigated the enemy's situation, and after confirming the maturity of the mysticism seeds, he patted his butt and left with satisfaction.

This is the advantage of becoming an NPC. If he were a player of unknown origin, could he openly spy on secrets like this?
I'm afraid he had just entered the fourth floor of the Star Leap, and before he got close to the half floor where the New Universe Sect was located, he was stopped by the believers and his record was recorded in a small notebook.

After having breakfast on the fifth floor of Star Leap, he was about to return to his room to wait for Li Yubin's visit when he saw two people standing at his door.

The two people in front of him were both players who had looked for him yesterday, and one of them was Shadow.

In just one night, he completed the task he assigned to the two of them?
What a fast efficiency.
