Chapter 277 How to Enter the World Dungeon

Crimson Courtyard Public Area, center of the square, in front of the clock tower.

Wu Chang looked up at the big screen above the clock tower, which showed 36.

There are 36 days left until the world copy begins.

Time is a bit tight, but if we prepare quickly, we should still be in time.

Ding ding.

The temporary dialogue on Wu Chang's attribute panel lit up, and a player named Killing Intent Fluctuation sent him a message.

"I have arrived at the designated location."

Wu Chang walked half a circle around the bell tower and saw a decadent homeless man wearing a sleeveless combat suit and unkempt appearance on the other side of the bell tower.

He walked forward, waved his hand and said:
“I am peace.”

Killing Wave looked at Wu Chang carefully and said, "Nice to meet you. You look much more ordinary than I thought."

Wu Chang was wearing an ordinary player's uniform at the moment, and looked no different from a rookie who had just joined the Abyss game. Compared with the players around the square who were dressed in various styles, he seemed to have no personality.

Of course, when the player uniform is worn by Wu Chang, it has no uniqueness. When worn by an ordinary player, it only shows that the wearer is a rookie.

If you want to have a personality, you need capital. Only the equipped armor will be revealed in the form of appearance in the Crimson Courtyard.

Players in the public area all dress extravagantly, and in many cases it is not just a hobby, but also to show off their strength.

It's hard to be respected in public areas if you can't even put together a complete set of minimum-level protective gear.

Wu Chang shrugged and said, "Would it be better to be more high-profile?"

Killing Wave answered honestly: "From the perspective of ratings and popularity, yes. Everyone, including me, is curious about what the new monster looks like. If it's too ordinary, it won't meet the audience's expectations."

Wu Chang touched his chin. He went on the show this time just to get attention and have enough people watch it. The suggestion of murderous fluctuations made sense.

He asked, "How high-profile is better?"

The murderous intent wavered as he tilted his head slightly, looking at the huge stone man five meters tall in the distance, "The higher the profile, the better. It would be best if I could be higher profile than him."

Wu Chang said easily: "Small problem."

He took off his coat and his body slowly grew bigger. As he grew taller and stronger, large metallic fish scales began to grow on his back. A layer of transparent webbed feet grew between his fingers. His skin became smooth and tough, like the skin of whales and dolphins. But if you look closely, you can see a shark shield scale structure and countless tiny shield-like barbs on the surface of the skin.

In just a few breaths, Wu Chang's height exceeded 20 meters, reaching the same height as the bell tower next to him.

His huge body and beautiful scales that look like armor make him look like the god of the sea.

The players in the Wilderness had never seen such a scene before. They gathered around him like crazy and took photos of Wu Chang's body of a sea giant.

Wu Chang looked down at the murderous waves under his feet and said in a deep voice that seemed to come from the deep sea:

"Is this enough? If not, I can keep getting bigger."

With murderous intent, he raised his head, mouth wide open, and looked at the giant in front of him in disbelief.

Is this person eight years old?
No, it’s 64 days?
You have trained to this point in the abyss for 64 days. He dare not even imagine how many dragons are protecting you inside your body. Aren't you afraid that the next bad news in the bodybuilding circle will be starred by you?

Killing Wave swallowed his saliva and asked, "How big can you get at most?"

With the bonus of the Sea Giant talent, Wu Chang's strength attribute has reached 115 points. In order not to appear too shocking, he could only say modestly:
“This square can’t hold it.”

hiss.

The murderous intent wavered.

He immediately said, "It's big enough. In its current state, let's go to the studio."

The killing wave gave Wu Chang access rights and told him the coordinates of the studio. Before leaving with Wu Chang, he shouted to the people around him:

"Today's "Hotspot" interview protagonist is Mr. Heping next to me. It's not easy to interview such a big shot, so don't miss it!"

The studio of "Hotspots of Every Issue" is a semi-private space, leased by United Information from Crimson Courtyard. During the period of the contract, United Information has the management authority of the space, and only players who have obtained entry permission can enter.

In order to interview Wu Chang, the program team specially expanded the studio in proportion.

The original broadcasting mode of "Hotspots of Each Issue" was that two anchors sat behind a long table, chatting about recent hot topics in the abyss while eating, drinking, and promoting products.

But with the addition of Wu Chang, the two anchors could only stand on the huge long table, as if they were also a dish on the table. In order to force themselves to be in the same frame with Wu Chang, a group of camera teams followed them in front of them, projecting their movements onto the huge screen.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the two people who interviewed Wu Chang this time were the Divine Tongue and Killing Wave, whom he had met before.

Since Wu Chang was in a hurry to cut in line, he entered the studio with only three minutes left before the live broadcast was to start.

The director only had time to tell Wu Chang the camera angle and how to control his movement. He and the two anchors didn't even have time to say a few words before the director had already started the countdown for the live broadcast.

On the other side, in a private club that Wu Chang had just left, a dozen high-ranking members of the Administration's Order Faction gathered together. They looked at the information sent back by Xu Dejun with frighteningly gloomy faces.

The connection between the rational world and the wild world was disconnected without any warning. Everyone had realized that something was wrong and made plans for the worst.

But after seeing the information sent back by Xu Dejun, everyone realized that reason had constrained their imagination and the reality was worse than they had expected.

A young man with thick joints on his hands and four or five scars on his face punched the conference table, creating several cracks on the special conference table produced in the abyss.

"Those guys, how dare they!!"

An old Taoist priest with white hair and beard and a long eyebrow, who looked like an immortal, said, "They have already done it. What's the point of asking these questions? The most urgent thing is to calm down and formulate a response method."

Changmei spoke in a detached manner, but when he looked at the conference table in front of him, he saw that there were more cracks on it than on the scarred young man.

"Cough cough cough."

A thin man who was still wearing a down jacket in May suddenly coughed rapidly, attracting everyone's attention.

Feeling that he had become the focus of everyone, Leng Shan, the strongest person in the wilderness, showed a trace of apology on his face, and then said:

"I will listen to Mr. Hou. You don't need to ask for my opinion."

While everyone was discussing, Hou Jingchuan, who had been thinking with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and said:

"We must strive to regain absolute control of the Wilderness Administration as soon as possible. We cannot let the previous attack on the Hongmeng Temple happen again. First, make a list and control the Evolutionists and their spies."

"After we finish dealing with our business, we'll go alert the other three guys."

The young man sitting in the middle of the group, wearing bright silver dragon-patterned armor, said, "Will notifying the White Tower and the Western Union have a counter-effect?"

Hou Jingchuan said, "It shouldn't happen. They are very smart. To defend the wilderness, their White Tower and Western Alliance are the White Tower and Western Alliance of their major families. If they can't defend the wilderness, people from the second level of the abyss will come down, and they will have to depend on others for even a sip of soup."

Seeing that the discussions were gradually dying down, Leng Shan, who had previously said that he had no objection, suddenly started coughing again.

After coughing a few times, he raised the tablet in his hand, on which was playing a video. The video content was the scene in the public square where Wu Chang transformed into a sea giant and left with the murderous wave.

"I have a question. This Heping suddenly asked for an interview. What does he want to do?"

Compared with the evolutionists and orderists, Leng Shan paid more attention to Wu Chang. As a breaker, he was extremely curious about this mysterious newcomer who could break through the Moonlight Sanatorium through the trial copy.

After hearing Leng Shan's words, everyone looked thoughtful.

The information sent by Xu Dejun was not encrypted. Either he trusted Heping's character and thought Heping would not peek; or Xu Dejun had already told Heping the contents, or he tacitly allowed Heping to read it.

Of the two possibilities, most people prefer the latter.

The intelligence that Heping learned, and the seriousness of the intelligence, far exceeded Hou Jingchuan's initial estimates.

If he revealed all of this directly on the show, it would plunge the entire wilderness into chaos.

Changmei asked, "Do you want to cut off today's program?"

Hou Jingchuan shook his head and said, "No need, let him make a scene."

It's too late now. Wu Chang has attracted a lot of attention by announcing his transformation and murderous intentions in the square.

If the show is cancelled now, it will not only anger Wu Chang, but also arouse the curiosity of the players. Then, whatever Wu Chang says will be spread more widely and more feasible.

As if trying to convince everyone, or himself, he added: "I believe in Mr. Xu's judgment."

In the public area tavern of the Crimson Courtyard, as the countdown of 3, 2, 1 ended, "Hotspot of Each Issue" officially began.

Today is different from usual days. The tavern is packed with players and it is difficult to find a place to stay. If you want to buy a seat from a scalper, the price has been driven up to 100 Rotten Silver Coins.

Being able to sit in a pub and witness a peaceful interview has become a source of bragging rights.

As for the poor guys who were slow and had no strength, they could only gather in the open space outside the pub and watch the live broadcast on a large projector.

Only a few minutes had passed since Heping transformed in the square area, but the news of Heping's interview had already spread like wildfire in the Wilderness.

Who is Peace?

He is a man who can break through the B-level out-of-control copy in the trial copy; he is number one on multiple breakthrough lists and maintains a cliff-like lead; he is so powerful that the four major organizations jointly declared war on him and banned him from being interviewed by "Hotspots of Every Issue", but a few days later he was able to swagger into the recording of the program.

For a player who is destined to become a legend, or has already become a legend, who wouldn't be curious about what he will say during an interview?

Some of the little tricks he casually mentioned could benefit ordinary players infinitely. If he directly announced what cheats he used, it would benefit all living beings and have immeasurable merits. As the broadcast screen was switched to Wu Chang's huge body, he immediately filled the program. With the two red circles marked by the director, everyone saw the familiar divine tongue and killing intent fluctuations.

Before the show started, the two of them first did a formal product promotion. Wu Chang sat in the background like a background and did not take any action throughout the whole process.

However, players soon noticed that there was a line of small text following the link to sell goods at the bottom of the live broadcast room.

"Exposing your nickname during an interview requires additional payment, a flat price of NT$100,000, no more waiting after the expiration date."

Five minutes later, as the live broadcast of the product promotion ended, the interview officially began.

God's Tongue opened the show first, "I'm sure all the viewers in front of the screen have noticed that today's show is a little different from the past, because the guest we invited this time is a bit muscular, so in order to accommodate him, we had to change the style of the studio."

"The guest of our show today is me and Mr. Peace behind the murderous intent."

Wu Chang smiled at the camera, looking at the extra 100,000 rotten silver coins in his account and revealed his nickname.

"Jinxiu Chamber of Commerce recycles copies of antiques at high prices."

"Hello everyone, I am Heping."

Looking at the unique nickname above Wu Chang's head, everyone in the tavern checked the ranking word by word, and cheers and whistles were heard in the tavern.

“Hot Topics of Every Issue” is awesome, they actually invited the real stuff. Aren’t they afraid that the four major organizations will overthrow their jobs?

Just because of their fearlessness of death, we have to place an order for the goods they bring today.

God's Tongue asked, "Mr. Peace, many people, including me, are very curious about your nickname. Why did you choose the name Peace?"

"Because I don't like fighting, I like to bring peace and eliminate disputes wherever I go, so I gave it this name." A certain Dispute Knight answered honestly.

The killer wave at the side asked: "It is rumored that you can become so strong because of a hack. What do you want to say about this?"

Wu Chang asked, "Have you ever seen the Abyss game at four in the morning?"

The killing wave replied, "See you every day."

Wu Chang shook his head slightly, "I haven't seen it, because I was practicing and didn't care to check the time."

"I am now strong because I carefully observed the details of the dungeon, worked hard all the time, and had a talent that was slightly better than that of ordinary people. I suggest that everyone should not believe in rumors of cheating. As long as you keep your feet on the ground and work hard, you will be able to be like me one day."

The murderous wave pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Mr. Heping is really humorous."

……

As a mature program, "Hotspots of Every Issue" has a relatively fixed interview rhythm and process. As each stage ends smoothly, the tense spirits of the order-seeking people in the club gradually ease.

The new player named Heping didn't seem to have any bad intentions and was just simply accepting the interview.

Could it be that he accepted the interview as a way of just wanting the Administration to make a statement and refusing specific compensation?
Not to mention other people, even Hou Jingchuan, who had personally come into contact with Wu Chang, began to re-examine Wu Chang.

Just when he was about to say something, the interview on the screen came to the final stage.

In the program, God's Tongue said: "Next, we will enter the interactive session we are most looking forward to, reading the barrage time."

"We will select the most popular comments during the live broadcast and invite Mr. Heping to answer them. I need to remind you that in order to protect the rights of the guests, we will lock the player ID and IP address of the comments that involve personal attacks and inform Mr. Heping of the information."

"The Abyss is not a lawless place. Please be careful with your words and actions."

Wu Chang smiled and said, "If there really is such a player, I will visit him personally and offer him peace."

As soon as this sentence came out, the already few provocative and insulting comments disappeared instantly, for fear that if they posted one more, it would be highly praised by those who were just watching the fun, and then when they went back to the dungeon, they would be knocked on the door by Heping to offer benefits.

Soon the first highly-rated comment was selected.

"Host, host, your ability is indeed very strong, but it takes too much effort. Can you recommend a simpler method to quickly improve your ability?"

After God's Tongue finished reading the barrage, he looked at Wu Chang.

Wu Chang shrugged and replied:

"Yes, brother, yes, there is more than one way to do this, and there is an opportunity right now."

"Have you seen the countdown on the public square? The countdown is actually related to a special dungeon in the world. When the countdown ends, the dungeon will open and players with access qualifications can enter. As long as you can survive until the end of the dungeon, your strength will be greatly improved."

"The method to obtain the dungeon pass is very simple. You just need to leave a good opportunity to enter the dungeon and ensure that any one attribute is over 70 points, or any two attributes are over 50 points. Then, enter the Crimson Courtyard at midnight on the same day, and you can activate the next dungeon as a qualified dungeon."

"If you complete the qualification dungeon alive, the system will issue the world dungeon pass qualification to the first 10,000 players based on the dungeon completion rate."

"If I were you, I would seize this opportunity, make adequate preparations, and strive to get a pass to a world dungeon."

After Wu Chang finished answering, not only the players in front of the screen were confused, but also the production team of "Hotspots of Every Issue" was confused.

No, buddy, it's a question that can be easily dismissed with a laugh, are you serious?
Especially the hosts, Divine Tongue and Murderous Intent Waves, their confusion was written directly on their faces, because they knew that what Wu Chang said was most likely true.

As star players, they have contact with the four major organizations. Through their own channels, they vaguely know the information about the existence of world copies.

However, the world copy is regarded as a forbidden territory by the four major organizations and is not allowed to be touched by outsiders. Even for them, they only know to try their luck before the countdown approaches, but they don't know the specific method.

I didn’t expect that Heping not only knew it, but also knew it so clearly and announced it directly in front of everyone.

They didn’t dare to imagine how crazy the four major organizations would become after today’s show, nor did they dare to imagine how crazy the Wilderness Realm would become.

They dare not even think about whether their program will be regarded as accomplices and liquidated by the four major organizations.

The murderous wave showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and said with a hint of pleading: "Mr. Heping, is this true, or is it some new kind of prank?"

Lord Heping, please put away your magical powers. Even if it is true, you should say it is false so that we can complete the show.

Wu Chang seemed not to notice the wave of murderous intent on his face and said, "It's true. I spent a lot of effort to get this information from the four major organizations."

"By the way, the world dungeon has appeared many times, but you will find why it is difficult to see even these four words on the player forum, and no one tells you what the countdown on the square means."

"Because this information is exclusively owned by the four major organizations, 90% of the quotas in the previous world copies were monopolized by the four major organizations due to information asymmetry. So, I can't stand this practice, so I open source it to you for free."

"This may be your only chance to turn things around in this life. Whether you can seize it depends entirely on you."

Wu Chang's supplementary answer brought the enthusiasm of the barrage to another climax. Just when the next highly praised barrage was about to appear, the program of "Hotspots in Every Issue" was interrupted.

It was not the Administration that did it, but a joint request from the other three companies. Relying on their more than half controlling stake, they took over control of the studio space and forcibly cut off the program.

If Hou Jingchuan hadn't found a way to delay for a while, the show would probably have been cut short as soon as Wu Chang finished his first segment.

Wu Chang looked at the pale-faced members of the production team and said, "Don't worry, they won't embarrass you because of this matter in the future. I said so."

Wu Chang even felt that the ending of the show being cut short was more satisfying to him than if the show had ended normally.

Anyway, he has said what he needs to say. How far he can go next depends on how much the players want to improve.

The reason why he announced the method of obtaining access to the world copy was to reduce the control of the four major organizations over the world copy.

He believed that Hou Jingchuan could win, and he also believed that the Order Faction might be able to control the Management Bureau of the Wilderness, but he did not believe in the other three parties, nor was he prepared to believe them.

The best way to deal with them is to allow a large number of individual players to obtain qualifications, and make these people inherently hostile and wary of the four major organizations in the world dungeon.

With such a large group of uncontrollable forces around, even if the other three major organizations want to cause trouble, it will be very difficult and they will get half the result with twice the effort.

And muddying the water will be more beneficial for him to perform.

Inside the tavern, the players were going crazy.

At first, the players did not dare to believe the information released by Wu Chang. With the words "My strength is entirely due to hard work" as a prelude, they could not be sure whether what Wu Chang said was true or false.

But the program was interrupted halfway through, making this information instantly true.

If it's not true, then why don't you dare let Wu Chang continue speaking.

Seeing that public opinion was intensifying, some uncle parties spoke out at the right time. They were similar to God's Tongue and others. They had all heard rumors about the world copy, but not in such detail.

As fragmentary information continued to come out, it increasingly confirmed that what Wu Chang said was true, causing Wu Chang's status among individual players to rise rapidly.

Heping is a good person, and he really tells you the secret of improvement!

On the other hand, what is more frustrating than "Hotspots of Every Issue" and crazier than individual players are the four major organizations whose monopoly on intelligence has been leaked.

Among them, Hou Jingchuan and others were different from the top leaders of the other four organizations. In addition to being shocked and angry, they also felt a little guilty.

After all, it was they who made the decision to allow Wu Chang to be interviewed.

Among the crowd, Leng Shan looked the most relaxed. He was just an emotionless breaker who only cared about how Wu Changhe could break through the dungeon. As for the world dungeon intelligence, he not only didn't care, he even wanted to laugh.

Heping is indeed a newcomer to the monster world, he can always come up with some new tricks.

He said: "Things have come to this point, what should we do now?"

Hou Jingchuan was the first to react. He took a deep breath and then said;
"This is actually an opportunity. While the intelligence from the rational world has not yet arrived and everyone is in chaos, I will call an emergency meeting and ask the evolutionists to hold an emergency countermeasures meeting on the pretext of investigating important intelligence leaks."

"You have seen what happened in the rational world. This time it is our turn for the Order Faction to take the initiative. They acted on the first day, and now it is our turn to act on the fifteenth. I plan to take advantage of this meeting to control everyone on the Evolution Faction side."

“A blessing in disguise. Maybe this time, that friend of peace has created a good opportunity for us.”
