The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 326: The Engine is Destroyed!

Chapter 326: The Engine is Destroyed! (Last day to ask for monthly tickets!)
The challenge announced by Xu Meng requires players to release the frozen area of Huaiwa Rainforest, which is now the [Huaiwa Frost Prison] on the map.

This would have been a long-term challenge.

According to the normal game steps, players need to start from the investigation base, starting with the simplest hunting of thieves and protecting logistics routes, and go deeper into the rainforest step by step.

Challenge stronger prey and get more valuable loot.

Upgrade your weapons, armor and auxiliary props.

Step by step, until you get close to the edge of the white frost, which is the dividing line between the existing [Huaiwa Rainforest] and [Huaiwa Frost Prison].

After the progress reaches this point, it will stagnate.

Players need to make a lot of preparations - weapons, armor, potions, recipes, mounts, spirits... and so on.

Once you are fully prepared, you can delve into the frozen frost hell, find the root of the problem, and try to solve it.

This takes a long time.

According to the game process set by the development team, it will take at least 40 hours.

——If you are a novice who has not played action games much, you will be stuck in progress because you cannot defeat the BOSS. You will need to spend more time on repeated hunting, brushing materials, practicing skills, and nourishing your spirit. This time may more than double.

Similarly, if there is an action game expert with superb control and awareness, and can kill the BOSS without any damage without wearing any equipment, then this time will be greatly shortened.

If this person has extremely strong skills, he can fight the BOSS for hours without getting hurt, or even skip all the early stages and rush directly to the high-level map area to fight the powerful BOSS head-on.

It is possible to kill a late-stage boss by scraping it with a level 1 novice weapon.

This is what Fang Shuo is planning to do now.

Moreover, one call will attract hundreds of responses!
"Me, me, me! Add me! I'm looking for a team to test the swordsman within 1000 hours!"

"10000 hours of double swords looking for a team! Once a single player did not hurt the snake king dragon!"

"10-hour Axe King looking for a team!"

"100 million hour cat people looking for a group! Medical student, first-rate skills in treating illnesses and saving lives and carrying stretchers!"

"I'm a college student. I can be online 24 hours a day. I will never jump off the train!"

"Wait for me for a moment. I'm fighting the Snake King Dragon right now. I'll be there after I finish the fight!"

……

A large number of people posted comments in the live broadcast room.

There were also a lot of people in the game who sent private messages to Fang Shuo.

In order to join the group, some people gave gifts in the live broadcast room.

In just half an hour, the number of captains in Fang Shuo's live broadcast room doubled, and the popularity of the live broadcast room soared to the first place in the stand-alone game section!

Even Fang Shuo himself was shocked.

After realizing what was happening, he immediately became enthusiastic and started to pick people:
"Those who have worked for more than 10,000 hours will be eliminated."

"You guys are so awesome, I'm afraid you'll hold me back."

"Of course, if you can prove that you are a developer and have 10,000 hours of gaming experience, you can also send me a private message and join the team unconditionally!"

"1000 hours. Theoretically, it can be achieved during the closed beta test. Please send me a screenshot of the game time directly."

"Brother, you can fight against the snake king dragon first. Don't worry. If you are done fighting in a month, I will treat you to a drink."

……

Live streaming is a rapidly changing and highly competitive industry.

The change in popularity of Fang Shuo's live broadcast room was immediately noticed by his peers.

There is no suspense about what happens next -

A large number of anchors began to follow his example and started to form groups, saying they would directly challenge the final BOSS.

But only those anchors who have actually participated in the internal test and have relatively good skills can get this traffic.

If you have never participated in the internal test and are terrible at playing games, you will only be laughed at if you say you want to challenge the ultimate boss.

Qihuahua is very self-aware and has no such idea at all.

No matter how the fans urged him, he remained unmoved and was even unwilling to join Fang Shuo's team. He was only thinking about conserving his energy.

However, Huanyue was very interested in this matter and joined Fang Shuo's team.

Because there were too many enthusiastic signups, Fang Shuo had to give up on following Xu Meng's lead and forming a 14-person team instead, filling up the online limit of 16 people.

At the entrance of the investigation base, Fang Shuo loudly described his plan:

"I have planned the route! Go out on the main road, kill the rookie Thief Dragon that blocks the way first, then go southwest to cross the poisonous bird activity area, then climb a cliff to the north, cross an 8-meter-wide cliff, then go west to cross the swamp where the Mud Fish Dragon has refreshed, go downstream at the edge of the swamp and pass through the dangerous Brute Jaw Dragon and the female Rathalos activity area, go all the way north while being chased by the Sakura Rathalos, turn in the middle of the road and head straight to the frozen area!"

"If everything goes well, we will be able to set foot on the ice-covered area in just two hours!"

"Then we will enter the unopened areas of the internal beta test. Goal: Find the cause of the frost within four hours, solve the problem within eight hours, and get the title of [Honorary Player]!"

"Brothers! Today is the day to make a difference!!"

Fang Shuo's speech was passionate.

The teammates also cheered: "Go, go, go!"

Under Fang Shuo's instigation, 16 people walked out of the investigation point wearing their initial suits and holding novice weapons.

They are all new accounts that have just entered the game, so of course they don’t have any mounts.

They just started walking towards the rain forest in a lively manner.

Soon, they saw their first target——

The "newbie thief blocking the road" as Fang Shuo called it.

Huanyue took the lead, stepped on his teammates' shoulders, jumped up and performed a gorgeous back-slash.

After landing, start turning directly!
Teammates followed suit, hacking at the thief dragon with swords, guns, sticks and axes.

Huanyue, who was spinning happily, was struck stiff by an axe and took full damage from rolling.

He felt like he was run over by a huge truck and almost vomited his internal organs.

"Don't hit me randomly..." he tried to remind her.

But he saw that the brother who chopped him with the axe was also stabbed in the waist by a spear. He had just said half of the words "Fuck" when he was hit on the head by a big sword as big as a door panel, and was directly dizzy.

The belated brother Bug Stick descended from the sky and made a huge chop.

The thief dragon failed to hit Fang Shuo, but instead hit him hard.

"Don't hit randomly! Hit the monsters! Don't hit people!"

"Don't go all in! Two or three people are enough!"

"Keep an eye on the people! Keep an eye on the people!!"

……

Fang Shuochao tried his best to give orders loudly.

But the scene was still in chaos, and several people had completely lost their minds.

Especially [Born to be Useful] who kept chopping his teammates with an axe, didn't hear what he said at all, and just kept chasing the thief dragon and chopping it wildly - and also chopping his teammates at the same time.

The roar of the thief dragon and the rumbling sound when it ran seriously affected Fang Shuo's command. In the end, the thief dragon that he only needed 5 minutes to fight alone was killed by 16 people after 20 minutes of fierce fighting.

Fang Shuo looked at his teammates who were covered in dust but full of energy, and his mind was filled with question marks.

He could understand that as more people were in the team, the monsters' health would also increase.

But isn't it a bit strange that a novice takes so long to defeat a boss?

"Have you... really participated in the internal test, or are you experts in the game?" Fang Shuo had deep doubts.

"Of course! It's real!"

"It's not that there are too many people, it's that you're not familiar with the place! You'll get used to it after coming here a couple of times."

"Keep going, hurry up."

Teammates urged.

Now, there are nearly one million viewers in Fang Shuo and Huan Yue’s live broadcast rooms, and there is no point in retreating.

He had no choice but to continue leading the way.

"Don't run around!"

"I was born to be useful! I'm talking to you! You are here to defeat the boss, not to mine in my world!"

"Stop picking! Follow the team!"

"I only mentioned mining, not picking herbs, right? Why would you go so far to pick them?"

"Be careful, there is a poisonous bird activity area ahead. We don't have anti-poison medicine, so try to avoid it."

"Fuck! I said go around it! Go around it! I didn't mean to rush up and shoot it!"

While he was speaking, Axe Brother had already chopped the poisonous bird's tail with an axe.

The dark green poisonous bird stuck out its big tongue, roared at everyone in the team, and then sprayed out a large amount of purple venom.

"Fuck!"

"Don't fight! Run!"

"Don't waste time!"

Half of the teammates, including Huanyue, followed Fang Shuo closely, while the other half subconsciously rushed towards the poisonous bird.

While Fang Shuo was shouting, the poisonous bird had already been chopped down.

At Fang Shuo's call, three more people came back.

The remaining five people were already addicted and couldn't stop.

Fang Shuo's mouth trembled as he fell into a fierce psychological struggle.

In the end, he made up his mind and continued on his way, leaving only one sentence: "Come up quickly after you finish fighting."

After 5 minutes of moving forward, an avatar in the team interface turned black.

Eight minutes later, the second avatar went dark again.

After the remaining five people defeated the poison bird, only Axe and Sword and Shield were left.

But on the way to catch up with the team, the two men ran into a second poisonous bird.

This time they did not fight, but hurriedly gathered with the main force.

As a result, the poisonous bird just followed all the way.

Fang Shuo and his teammates were climbing carefully when suddenly the screen began to shake.

Looking back, I saw a dark green poisonous bird running towards me, flapping its wings, jumping on the spot, and swinging its tail!
A large amount of green poisonous gas sprayed out, completely covering the area where they were.

Two unlucky guys were even hit by the tail and fell down with screams.

"You guys are..."

The plan encountered twists and turns again and again, which made Fang Shuo a little angry. He jumped down and used the Dragon Slash to vent his anger!

From then on, he finally gave up struggling.

The poisonous bird, mud dragon, brute jaw dragon, and female fire dragon were alarmed by their teammates one after another.

He was able to win the battle at first, but by the time he met the Barbarian Jaw Dragon, he had already suffered heavy losses, with only three people left alive.

When it came to the female fire dragon level, all of his teammates had died and he was the only one left.

After fighting for half an hour, he was still killed by the breath of fire that fell from the sky.

After being sent back to the base by the cat people, Fang Shuo looked at the six teammates who were still waiting and fell into deep silence.

Two hours and 2 minutes had passed since they set out.

According to his original plan, he should have stepped into the frozen area by now.

But now it’s just back to square one…

"It's okay. We didn't cooperate well before. We won't be in sync. It will be fine next time."

"Yes, yes. If we gather everyone together, we can definitely do it again."

"I've never played the chopping axe before, but now I know how to play it. This time I'm going to kill people!"

The rest of his teammates comforted him.

Fang Shuo looked at these people, especially the one holding the axe and saying "I am born to be useful", and felt speechless.

All the reliable teammates are gone, and the ones left are all noobs and the driving force behind the team’s destruction!
Again?
You won’t get there even if you try 100 times!
The water friends in the live broadcast room laughed:
"Thanks to Fang Shuo for proving one thing: having more people does not mean stronger combat effectiveness!"

"It's so funny, I was born to be useful? You just don't want to admit that you have a talent, right?"

"So this method of skipping steps won't work, right? Let's just keep pushing forward and accumulate equipment."

"It may not be impossible, it seems that the team is just too weak!"

"Maybe there are too many people? How about a team of four?"

……

The discussion among netizens reminded Fang Shuo.

"I'm a little tired... Let's stop here for today."

After saying that, he ended the broadcast at lightning speed and started to send messages to Zhang Siming——

"Brother, do you want the title of [Honorary Player]?!"

Zhang Siming immediately replied: "Yes!"

"I have an idea! How about we skip the early stages and go directly to Frost Prison to find the final boss?"

"Heroes see the same thing!"
