The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 417: Real Speed ​​Run! (Seeking monthly pass)

Before the assessment was over, the official account of Mansheng Metropolis released a message in response to the players' calls:
-
Residents of Sprawling City:

good morning, everyone!
The third round of the [Hunter Assessment] that has attracted much attention: [Matrix Killing].

It was made by Mr. Xu Meng, the founder of Dream Building Game!

To be precise: all the assessment contents of the entire [Hunter Assessment], whether it is the previous [Sky Track Marathon], [Ice and Fire Island Survival], or the subsequent levels that have not yet been made public, all come from the boss's creativity.

We are all deeply impressed by the boss's endless creativity.

As for everyone’s advice: “Let the developers do the hard work themselves.”

We regret to inform you that your boss is currently busy with an important project and has no time to spare for the moment.

But we will convey everyone's opinions to our boss.

In order to make up for this regret, we have decided to turn [Matrix Killing] into a limited-time game mode in May after this round of assessment, and open it to all interested players!
Players who successfully clear [Matrix Killing] will receive credit points and an event-only [Matrix Commemorative Badge].

[Matrix Killings Clearance Ranking] will also be released simultaneously.

Every time a new record is broken in terms of clearance time, an announcement will be made throughout the city!

After the event ends at the end of the month, the top 10 players on the leaderboard will receive a [Dream Building Mall Product Redemption Voucher].

With this redemption voucher, you can choose any product in the Dream Mall to redeem, regardless of price!
Looking forward to your performance! ——
While watching the live broadcast of the players taking the assessment dying tragically, the players were reading the announcement from the Mansheng Metropolis Operations Team.

After reading it, everyone immediately retreated tactically!
"I knew that something this sinister and vicious must have been designed by Xu Meng!"

"Translation: The boss did it, we don't take the blame. The boss doesn't play either, so you all come and play!"

"You're not even going to pretend anymore and are just coming here to harm us?"

"Limited commemorative badges, city-wide broadcasts, merchandise exchange coupons... what should I do if I'm tempted?"

"Hurry up and finish the test, I want to challenge it too!"

"I want to play ≠ you don't want to play! Xu Meng is busy, all of you operations team members come and play!"

……

The players complained wildly.

But at the same time, I was also very excited and eager to get my hands on a [citywide broadcast] out.

There is no doubt about it: if you want to break the clearance record and be broadcasted to the whole city, the difficulty will definitely increase!

Of course, the sooner you start, the better!
Before you begin, it is also very important to gather intelligence.

The audience in the live broadcast room quickly changed from simply watching the fun to gathering intelligence while watching the fun.

In the matrix, the number of players participating in the assessment continued to plummet.

Death is becoming more colorful.

Being squeezed into a "second dimension" by a metal wall, suffocated to death by being filled with water, strangled by octopus tentacles, scorched by a high-energy laser, "teppanyaki squid", poisoned by donuts...

The audience was amazed.

Players taking the test also try their best to use their brains in order to pass the level.

But with the countdown approach tight, there aren't many effective methods.

Most people still rely on their teammates’ lives to try and make mistakes:

Everyone plays rock-paper-scissors, and whoever loses goes first to the next room to "detect mines with their bodies."

This way you can tell whether the next room is a "safe room", "non-lethal room", "lethal but one-time trap room", or "always lethal, inaccessible room".

This move consumes a lot of teammates.

It is also easy to be hit by delayed traps and special traps, so it can be said that it is very difficult to move forward.

A small number of people want to break the situation violently.

Summon the Dragon Soul Armor to fight the trap!

The door under your feet won’t open?

Dragon Soul weapons are so damn good!

A subtle thing is: the walls and doors of the matrix are made of pure metal.

Very strong, yet not completely unbreakable.

If you hammer on for a while longer, the door can eventually be broken open.

But this will consume a lot of physical energy and severely compress the time for thinking and decision-making, and the progress is not ideal.

Except for one person——

【Northwest Hammer King】Li Liangcai.

At first he did not attract much attention, even though he had a dragon-warrior hammer transformed from a ninth-level spirit, which could smash iron doors and traps with great force.

But among the players who are still alive today, there are many hardcore players, and quite a few of them possess dragon weapons.

But gradually, people discovered something was wrong:

The Hammer King seems to be hitting faster and faster!
The director of the live broadcast room also noticed Li Liangcai and gave him more shots.

In the close-up shot, the clearly visible dragon scales on his forearm were exposed when he exerted force!

The audience was immediately surprised and asked in the barrage what kind of black technology this was.

Players who knew the situation quickly came out to explain: "This is the Hammer King! The owner of the golden hammer from Lord of War, a super engineer!"

"Super Engineer? What a ridiculous thing! This guy has successfully performed [organ mutation] three times!"

"4 times! Just the day before yesterday, I succeeded again!"

"What the hell! Four mutant biochemical supermen?! No wonder he has dragon scales on his body!"

"Those aren't real dragon scales, they're just special effects. They only appear when you exert your strength. And don't you think they're cool?!"

……

Among Ciri's three Easter eggs, [Organ Mutation] was the one that didn't cause much noise.

The bottom line is that single mutations have only modest effects.

There are many mutations and the mortality rate is too high.

Some people spend a lot of time and energy on their liver, but in the end they are wiped out by a rejection reaction.

There are really not many people who can stick to it.

But the Northwest Hammer King is indeed the emperor of perseverance who can smash 10000 heads with a repair hammer on a battlefield full of bullets.

He managed to push this difficult gameplay to the current level of "Four Dragons Body Refining"!

Stronger strength, stronger physique, stronger defense, and an explosive skill.

Correspondingly, when he exerts force, dragon scales will grow on his arms and shoulders, and his thighs will become thicker.

These mutation effects greatly improve his survivability and burst ability.

Some small, non-lethal traps will deduct a quarter of a person's health if they hit someone, but only a tenth if they hit him.

After a while, some of it will come back.

With so many enhancements, he can naturally break through doors and levels faster than others!
If there were no traps and it was just a matter of breaking down the door, he might have cleared the level by now.

It's just a pity that his luck is not very good -

After going through so much trouble to break through to the 10th level, the matrix turned and I was back to the 22nd level...

I can only keep smashing.

After all, players inside the matrix cannot see outside.

They don't know exactly where they are.

Plus the matrix kept spinning, making me feel dizzy and confused.

If you want to pass the level and escape from the matrix, luck plays a huge role!
The first batch of people who came out were definitely lucky——

I was directly transferred to the first floor by the matrix. After finding that there was no door under my feet, I chose a direction and moved forward straight. After sacrificing several teammates, I successfully escaped!

This directly led to another situation:
The proportion of players killed and eliminated in battle is extremely high!
If we follow the standards of the first two rounds, with 90% eliminated each time, there should be more than 36000 people left after this round of assessment.

But after a long assessment, the number of players who successfully passed the test was only over 1!
On average, only one person successfully passes the assessment for every 36 deaths.

The first reaction of many players after walking out of the Matrix is ​​to turn around and kick them hard a few times!
I swear that I will never come to this damn place again in my life!
But after discovering the announcement released by the Mansheng Metropolis Operation Team, he suddenly lost his memory and began to organize a team to challenge the speed run!
——The fourth round of assessment will be conducted on the 15th, again after three days.

During this time they had plenty of time to challenge the leaderboards.

As for the fourth round of assessment...

The information given by the examiner was only five words:
[Battle for license plates]!

……

……

On the other side, at the Affiliated Hospital of Huacheng Medical University, a complex operation was successfully completed.

Pang Yun was pushed out of the operating room and sent to the intensive care unit, where he waited for the anesthetic to wear off under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people.

Xu Meng, who had been paying close attention to the progress of the operation, also breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to stretch his back.

Xiao Meng, who was sitting next to him, also jumped up and down and cheered.

Then he quickly told Xu Meng: "Master, the players are calling you to play games!"

"play games?"

Xu Meng, who was stretching, looked at Xiao Meng unexpectedly.

Xiao Meng immediately showed him the list of hot topics on Weiguang at that time.

Xu Meng's name is ranked third:

#Xu Meng! Come back to play games#
When I clicked in to take a look, I found out that it was the operation of the operation team that broke the defense of a large number of players.

They wailed non-stop, wanting the producer Xu Meng to suffer the same fate.

"Oh, young!"

Xu Meng smiled easily, "Then let me show you what a real speedrun is!"

"Xiao Meng, help me post an announcement."

"In two hours, live speedrun of [Matrix Killer]!"
