Chapter 101: Let's play! You unlocked the super hidden camp at the beginning, right?
In the Chaos waiting room, ten thousand players entered one after another.
The huge waiting room became extremely lively, with players gathering in groups of two or three, chattering loudly.
"What happened? How did I end up in an S+ level dungeon?"
"I'm preaching. Suddenly, an invitation prompt box popped up in front of me, asking me if I confirmed to enter the S+ copy of "Assassin's Creed". I thought someone was playing a joke on me, but I didn't expect that I would actually get in..."
"Isn't this too cool? A free S+ copy? Hiss!!"
"Could it be that the story of gods in our Eastern Region is true? It's not just a legend? No matter how you look at it, this is a blessing from the gods!"
"Although I really want to say that this is the information technology era, but such a grand move that allows tens of thousands of people to enter the S+ dungeon seems to be something that only god-level players can do..."
“Wow, this is my first time playing an S+ level dungeon and I’m a little excited… God of the East Region, please bless me and help me get a good result in this dungeon!”
"Indeed, it would be a shame if I don't make a lot of money. Who knows if I will have another chance to play an S+ level dungeon in this lifetime. I will do whatever it takes and cherish the present!"
Xu Mu stood quietly in a corner of the waiting room with his arms folded, taking in all the discussions around him, stroking his smooth chin thoughtfully.
He had been closely observing the number of matches in "Assassin's Creed" over the past two days, and it was indeed very strange that the number suddenly surged to 10,000.
Moreover, these local players in the Eastern Region didn’t seem to know what was going on.
"Hmm?" Just at this moment.
Xu Mu suddenly noticed a pair of eyes locking onto him through the crowd.
Look up and return the gaze.
Soon, Xu Mu saw a petite loli grinning at him among the bustling players, revealing two shallow fangs.
"Brother, this copy will kill people~"
She spoke with her lips, pointed at Xu Mu, then raised her small hand and gently stroked her fair neck, deliberately making her eyebrows crooked and sticking out her pink tongue.
Seeing that Xu Mu's expression was calm, she covered her mouth and giggled, like a naughty child.
"What a cute little girl." Xu Mu tapped his arm lightly with his index finger and responded to Mu Luo with a smile.
I hope she can still smile so happily when I kill her later.
At this moment, a rule reminder sounded above everyone's heads.

[Countdown to opening the copy...]

[The copy of "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey" is officially opened! ! ]
…
Tens of thousands of rays of light flash on the player at the same time.
Xu Mu's eyes were covered in darkness. When he could see the scene in front of him, he had already been teleported into the copy.
The player's initial birth point is an initial island called Kea Island, and its architectural style is that of the ancient Greek style on Earth more than two thousand years ago.
A bold system of beams and columns constructed of large stone blocks, with mortise and tenon joints or metal pins between the blocks.
Most of the citizens' houses are two-story apartments with balconies on the second floor. Although the main materials are not as developed and gorgeous as modern ones, they are basically built with unpolished rough stones cut into squares, but they create a visual geometric beauty.
It can be said that the aesthetics of ancient Greece during its heyday are still not outdated today.
The moment the other players landed, they began wandering around the town.
Some of them directly rushed out of the city to challenge the NPC soldiers of other forces in the surrounding areas.
There are also some people who would just grab any NPC in the city and shake him hard, hoping that the NPC would drop equipment on them right away.
Suddenly, my ears were filled with voices like "Uncle, do you have any tasks to post?", "Auntie, do you need me to help you climb a tree and catch a cat?", "Little girl, have you ever met a scumbag? I can help you teach him a lesson... Ah, you are only 14 years old and don't have a boyfriend yet, so do you want to taste the bitterness of love in advance?" and so on.
But no matter what they do, there is nothing wrong with their core idea.
Whether it is going out of the city to kill hostile NPC soldiers, or quickly improving your own level and gaining more skill points to strengthen yourself.
Then get the best equipment.
Only after you develop your team, you can more easily launch an attack on a country's fortress and obtain a higher dungeon rating.
As for the fortress, it can be simply understood as a country's military armed force.
Usually a small country may only have a force of dozens of people, and its main base is in a building made of stone and fences outside the town.
There are watchtowers and campfire stands, and the soldiers stationed there are all carefully selected and trained warriors from birth. They have strong physical qualities and cold weapon combat skills.
It was the most valuable strategic resource in ancient times.
Although looking at it from today's perspective, it seems a bit cheap.
For a country like this, the garrison force consists of only a few dozen people?
Doesn't that mean our Country Garden Front can conquer the European battlefield!
But you have to know that the background of the copy is in BC, when humans had just slowly transformed from tribes to a centralized system. Not to mention the backward technology, productivity was also very low.
Low productivity limits food harvest, further hindering population growth.
Coupled with the backward medical level, the average life expectancy is probably only around 20 to 30 years old.
For a city with several thousand people, it is already quite good if it can pick out dozens of strong and healthy men for war.
You know, the Crusades, a famous battle that had a profound impact on European history, only recruited a total of 30,000 troops when it started. That was a force that gathered the strength of the entire Europe.
[Please select the camp you want to join. Once you select a camp, you cannot change it until the end of the instance! ]
A notification sound interrupted Xu Mu's thoughts.
He took a quick glance at the four camps shown on the light screen that popped up in front of him.
The Order of the Ancients
Cult of Kosmos
Peloponnesian League
Delian League
At the current historical juncture, we are in the period of war between the Peloponnesian League led by the Spartans and the Delian League headed by Athens.
It is also one of the more famous Greek classical wars in history.
If the camp that the player joins wins a great victory, it will change the outcome of the entire dungeon.
First, I looked at the advantages of each camp.
Joining the Sparta camp can increase the player's warrior damage by 5%. The higher the rank obtained in the camp, the greater the damage increase.
Conversely, the Athenian camp can increase the player's assassination damage.
The Cult of Order can increase the player's initial energy grid (to release skills in the dungeon, energy is required, the normal upper limit is four grids, and the consumed energy will be slowly replenished by the player killing enemies)
As for the Order of the Ancients, they can provide players with some clues for collecting fragments of Isu artifacts.
It seems that choosing the Order of the Ancients is the strongest, and the power of the Isu artifacts is self-evident.
But this is not a single-player copy after all. You can get clues, but if you can't beat other players, the clues you get can easily be used as a tool for other players.
Open the statistics panel and take a look.
As expected.
In this kind of life-threatening dungeon, players' choices are relatively conservative and cautious.
Among the 10,000 challenging players, more than 4,000 chose the Sparta camp and the Athens camp, which was considered to be evenly matched.
And there were only over a thousand people who chose the Cult of Order.
When it comes to the Order of Ancients, there are only a pitiful three to five hundred people left, which is a very small base number.
However, for many players.
They chose their camp not in order to win the final war and reap huge rewards.
On the contrary, they are more concerned about just getting the most basic guaranteed reward for the copy.
For players who just want to destroy a castle and then stop there, the influence of the faction will not be too great.
S+ copies are good, but you don’t have to risk your life for them.
After some thought, Xu Mu directly closed the prompt box.
[Closing the prompt window will be considered as a non-camp player and will not be able to enjoy any camp bonuses. Are you sure you want to cancel this camp selection? ]
"Sure." Xu Mu's eyes were determined.
Compared to sharing the final faction rewards with a group of people.
What he wanted to do was simple.
Just eating alone!
Create a brand new faction by yourself! And then take all the faction rewards!
Isn't this just enough to fill you up?
Xu Mu had already thought of the name of this camp.
It's called Brotherhood!
Other players don't know the past and present of Assassin's Creed.
As a hardcore gamer, how could Xu Mu not be clear about this?
As the earliest version in the timeline of the orthodox series of "Assassin's Creed", Odyssey can be said to be the beginning of the development of the entire "Assassin's Creed".
At this time, the forces and factions were still in chaos. Whether it was the Brotherhood or the Knights Templar, this version had not yet been born.
By the time the male protagonist of the origin version, Ba Ye, came to establish the Brotherhood, it was already too late.
We Chinese people value hospitality. Let me help you set up a brotherhood first. You're welcome.
If you want to establish a recognized force, it is not enough to just rely on Xu Mu's words.
He had to go to a proper big city (which can also be understood as a country or an alliance in this world background view. At that time, it was very common for a city to be a country because there were not enough human resources to manage a larger territory.)
Then find a local wise man with a good reputation to introduce it, finally get certification from a local agency, and then name the newly established force, and the whole process is completed.
Of course, these were all made up by Xu Mu.
When he scanned the camp column just now, he clearly saw the option to create his own camp.
He summoned the light screen and quickly typed in the word "Brotherhood".
Click Submit.
[Are you sure you want to establish your own faction - Brotherhood? ]
[Tip: A self-created camp cannot obtain any camp bonus in the early stage of its establishment. Only when the camp reputation reaches 10,000 or above will it obtain adaptive camp bonus depending on the situation.]
confirm!
[Checking whether any player has created a duplicate camp, please wait...]
Xu Mu was waiting for the copy system to respond on the spot. Anyway, he had the most complete strategy and had enough time, so he didn't mind waiting for a while.
At this moment, two players who had been observing Xu Mu for a long time walked up slowly and spoke.
"Hey, buddy, are you interested in joining our Beggar Chicken camp? There are only two of us right now. If you come in, I will give you the rank of [Master]! When we join forces to make this camp bigger and stronger, you can imagine the benefits you will get. What do you think? Are you excited?"
Xu Mu shook his head expressionlessly: "No need."
The two looked at each other, curled their lips, and soon after they turned around and left, they began to complain in a low voice.
"This is so pretentious. You clearly look like a rookie, and you even reject our self-created camp?"
"You've been standing there for quite some time without moving. Maybe you haven't figured out the rules of the dungeon yet."
"Forget it, don't worry about him. A player like this who has no dreams won't go far. He will probably just follow the crowd and choose the mainstream camps."
"Oh, when our Beggar Chicken Camp is really established, he won't be able to come in even if he cries and shouts! I hold grudges!"
"Hahahaha, you little bastard."
The two of them were chatting to themselves, and the conversation had just ended.
Suddenly, a series of fierce warning sounds erupted behind me!
[Congratulations to player 'A' for successfully establishing the faction 'Brotherhood'! ]
[Since this camp is the super hidden core camp of the dungeon! Player 'A' obtains the super hidden camp bonus - initial skill points * 3! Assassin skill damage increased by 50%! Warrior skill damage increased by 50%! Hunter skill damage increased by 50%! ]
[Since there is only one player in this camp, player 'A' obtains the highest position in this camp - Assassin Mentor, and obtains a 200% increase in Assassin skill damage! Obtains the camp's iconic artifact - the Hidden Blade! ]
After a few prompt sounds.
The two brothers in the Beggar Chicken camp suddenly stopped.
His body was stiff as he slowly turned around and looked towards the place where the prompt sound came from.
The player in the white windbreaker and hood was still standing there, with an expression of neither joy nor sadness, and was unperturbed by praise or criticism.
The two brothers were unable to remain calm, they were both stunned, their faces trembling with shock! !
No, how did you just create a super hidden core camp with just a few strokes? ? ?
And what the hell is this horrible bonus???
Didn’t it say that a self-created camp has to destroy a fortress in order to be evaluated and then gain some adaptive bonuses?
Are you going to let people play with you or not?
Thinking back to when I asked him if he wanted to join my camp, but he didn't choose to join, my brothers and I even complained about it in a low voice...
When they thought of this behavior, the brothers' faces suddenly turned blue and red, and they hurriedly left with their heads down in embarrassment.
It wasn't just the brothers who reacted violently.
Even the built-in channel of the copy was in an uproar at this time.
"????"
"Creating a camp like this?"
"What the hell? Does this faction bonus really exist? I am so shocked!"
"I looked at my 5% faction bonus and shed tears of envy."
"Fuck, fuck, fuck! Boss A, look at me, look at me! I want to join your camp!!"
"Wow, Master A, please take care of this cute girl. As long as you can let me join your camp, this cute girl is willing to sleep with you offline for seven days, inclusive!"
"What does it include? Why don't you finish it?"
“Inclusion means inclusion!”
"Heh, you bunch of brats, instead of envying others, you should enrich yourself! Look, I'm also going to create a super hidden core camp!"
As the saying goes, a word of advice can awaken a dreamer. Many players woke up from their dreams, withdrew from the camp they had originally joined, and started to create their own camps manually.
As a result, the messages in the built-in channel of the copy began to become chaotic.
[Player 'Water Duck' creates a normal faction 'Brother Club']
[Player '十面卖腐' created the ordinary faction 'Grandma Club']
[Player 'Ke Meng Ke Meng La' created a normal camp 'Sister Will Not']
[Player 'Soft Little Tongue' creates a normal camp 'Sister can't do it, sister can do it']
…
Although countless players have tried again and again, and many players want to imitate Xu Mu's camp name.
But in the end, all that was created were ordinary camps.
Considering that if the process dragged on like this, other players would overtake them in the dungeon progress, a group of players gave up with regret.
At this moment, Xu Mu also slowly opened his eyes.
Just now, he used brainstorming to carefully recall the memory fragments of his previous life and retrieved all the relevant content of "Assassin's Creed".
And the main contents of this copy are roughly sorted.
The heart is like a mirror.
As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. I just wasted nearly ten minutes.
Next, just surpass them all at once!
