The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 338 KTV Princess is also a princess! (asking for monthly tickets)
Xu Lu, who was lurking in the [Iron Blood Company] group chat, felt a bit of a headache looking at these active local players.

I have to stay up late to write the report again!

Xu Meng's security measures are more comprehensive than before.

The outside world believed that [BitStorm] was a battle between a single company and seven multinational corporations.

But the staff of the National Security Bureau are very clear:

That's not the case at all.

When that Internet war broke out, the employees of Dream Building did not participate in it at all.

They do the same thing as the average netizen - they scroll through social networks while exclaiming "Wow, that's awesome!"

It’s not like no one wants to help.

But as soon as he reached the door of the boss's office, he was stopped by Assistant Chen.

Even the DreamZhu security team was unable to participate.

When asked internally, they all said that the offensive and defensive tempo was simply too fast and they simply couldn't keep up.

As for Wu Shuang and the others, they only helped to contact more server resources. Technical team support was all rejected by Xu Meng.

So in fact, the only participant on the [Bit Storm] side is Xu Meng!

——Oh, and that pink-haired cat-eared girl he always keeps with him.

Two people fought the entire Internet war.

It has successively taken down 7 large multinational companies and 1 CIA-affiliated cyber attack agency!

Xu Meng also packaged a large amount of evidence that the CIA had violated international law and attacked other countries' government agencies and large corporate servers, which he had collected from that agency, and sent a copy to the Security Bureau.

There is so much information that the General Administration has not yet sorted it out.

Therefore, in the eyes of people who understand technology and know the inside story, Xu Meng’s title of “Digital Emperor” is not a nickname at all.

If he is given enough computing power support and personal protection, he really has hope of turning his nickname into reality!

Xu Meng had exclusive security very early on.

After the dream machine was successfully verified, the security level was raised to the highest level.

But are the measures to protect “genius scientists” enough for the “digital emperor”?
Obviously not enough.

Xu Lu had never even heard of "lurking in the local player group for a long time", let alone done such a thing.

But now she has been assigned to take over urgently.

She has to do this job for half a month before someone comes to replace her.

Xu Luke didn't expect that the job would come so soon.

The identity of "player" is too broad, and allowing players to get close to Xu Meng is already a risky thing.

Now this group of people are planning to put on doll costumes, cover their faces and approach Xu Meng.

Xu Lu felt that the problem was huge just by thinking about it!
What if there are people with weapons mixed in?
Wearing that kind of loose doll costume, even if you hide an AK inside, you can’t see it!
There are quite a few people who want Xu Meng dead now!

While keeping an eye on the dynamics in the group, she reported the matter urgently.
-

Most players do not have the advantage of these locals and would not think of such tricks as "going to the door of the Dream Building Company to ask Xu Meng".

When most people couldn't think of any solution, they simply continued their game in the form of frogmen.

Many people even don't want to lift the curse at all, and just let themselves go in the Sprawling City.

Because there were so many frogs letting themselves go, the team grew larger and larger.

The atmosphere of the whole city is slowly changing.

From the very beginning, when Frog appeared on the streets of Sprawling City, he would be surrounded by a large number of normal players.

When a normal player appears in Frogtopia, he will be surrounded by a large number of frogs.

The whole city became cheerful and free.

It was like a grand carnival that came unexpectedly.

Many people couldn't help but join in and let themselves go.

Only those players with a strong sense of purpose have not been involved and are still pursuing their goals tirelessly.

Zhang Siming and his teammates are still fighting in the Huaiwa rainforest.

But in the end, they were inevitably affected.

……

Their plan of "skipping the previous missions and directly exploring Huaiwa Frost Prison" encountered an insurmountable obstacle on the same day.

In the area frozen by frost, there are several large dragons blocking the way.

Their bodies were covered with thick frost.

When hit by elementary weapons, only tiny cracks will appear on the ice - and then they will quickly recover in the severe cold.

In other words, their weapons could not break through the defense at all.

Although there is a rumor circulating on the Internet that as long as you hit the same spot accurately multiple times, even a primary weapon can break the ice and break the defense, Zhang Siming seriously doubts that this is some kind of deceptive rumor.

In the end, they had to give up taking shortcuts and quietly return to the normal game path.

The subsequent strategy went much more smoothly.

They used barely adequate equipment and worked day and night for three days to complete all the main hunting missions.

But what surprised them was:

The main storyline of the game has ended, but the frost of Huaiwa Frost Prison has not been lifted.

I only got an unexpected game hint——

[Congratulations, you have unlocked the [Master] difficulty! ]
Following this prompt, there is a long list of game changes:
Monsters will no longer stay in fixed areas, but will migrate.

The difficulty of monsters is no longer fixed, but special individuals will appear randomly.

As the number of hunts increases, the strength of monsters and the value of dropped materials will continue to increase.

And unlock the monster fighting mechanism.

Unlock more side quests.

Unlock special NPC dialogues.

Unlock daily hunts.

……

and also--

The white frost began to spread!
Yes, they worked day and night for three days just to get the title of [Honorary Player].

In the end, not only did it fail to thaw the rainforest, but the frost began to spread, and the frozen area became even larger!

Zhang Siming and his teammates looked at each other.

Only then did I realize that the challenge proposed by Xu Meng was not simply a competition of speed.

It doesn't matter who has better gaming skills or is more diligent, he or she will definitely be the first to complete the task.

If you want to dispel the white frost and break the ice, you must look for clues outside the main line.

But in order to complete the main quest as quickly as possible, they played in speed run mode and were a little confused about what the main quest was about, let alone the side quests.

But it is impossible to ask them to give up.

They are all professional players, and their ability to adjust their mentality is first-class.

I started to fill in the side quests and look for clues again.

I’m just not as anxious as before, and I’m even in the mood to participate in the [Hunting Development Group] activities.

As a result, many of them were infected.

Unable to find a way to lift the curse, he simply took on the form of a frog man and continued exploring and hunting.

But soon, Zhang Siming saw:
After the teammate hit the Ice Fang Dragon with a thrust, he subconsciously planned to follow up with a Dragon Ascension.

The moment the flippers stepped on the frost on the surface of the Ice Fang Dragon's scales and pushed hard -

Suddenly my foot slipped!

The character lost his balance on the spot and crashed into the Ice Fang Dragon's body.

The man failed to jump up, and therefore failed to avoid the Ice Fang Dragon's continuous collisions, and was knocked away like a green ball.

The person died before he even hit the ground.

When he finally landed, he fell directly into the stretcher opened by the cat-man and was carried away from the battlefield by the cat-man.

Zhang Siming and his teammates then realized:
The frog man's appearance does not have no effect on the battle.

Although, under normal circumstances, if you step on ice while climbing a dragon, you may slip.

But the frogman's webbed feet are larger than normal feet, so they cover a larger area.

The probability of stepping on ice has indeed increased a bit.

And I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but they always feel that frog webbed feet are slipperier than normal human feet!
What's even harder is that it's so funny to see teammates dressed in funny frog costumes, wielding huge swords and fighting dragon-like beasts.

It makes it impossible for them to be serious.

While playing, you will become distracted and make mistakes.

Finally, they had to stop temporarily and go to Mengjin to find a way to lift the curse.

In Mengjin, there shouldn’t be too many such methods:

[It’s the hidden favorability! Find an NPC with a high enough hidden favorability and kiss him!]
[It's a wedding! Conquer the characters in the parallel world of Silver City, take them to the church to get married, and then you can kiss!]
[It's the Ice Fang Dragon! When the Ice Fang Dragon is sprinting, use your mouth to catch the dragon car and you can get a true love kiss!]
[Referring to the fairy tale of "The Frog Prince", it should be the princess! [Neon Abyss] KTV Princess is recommended to try! ]
[There is a super jumping music hidden inside the Red Lotus Volcano. When you jump to the end, you will see a magic frog. Just kiss it!]
……

There are pages and pages of news like this, which are hard to tell true from false, making it difficult to make a decision.

Zhang Siming used his webbed hands to prop up his frog-like head and thought for a moment, then looked at his teammates: "Have you ever been to the Neon Abyss?"

"How about trying this first?"
