Chapter 186: Speed Antun! What is more powerful than the strategy?
The first way Canlian could think of was to forcibly change the settings/rules of the copy.
Make all BOSSes in the Antun copy enter a permanent invincible state!
In this case, no matter how talented Xu Mu is, or how well he understands the mechanisms and playing methods, it will all be in vain.
It can also allow him to make a fool of himself in front of all the players and completely lose his credibility.
After all, you are the one who announced it to the world, but if you say it now but cannot do it, it will undoubtedly greatly erode your previous influence.
In this way, Xu Mu can be prevented from leading all players to obtain SSS ratings and from leaving the "Dungeon" copy.
It also prevents them from getting closer to the so-called truth!
Canlian knew very well that the truth of the Red Moon World was a cruel and sharp knife.
We must not let these lowly ants understand anything.
But unfortunately, he tried to communicate with other "maintainers" to make this clear.
This was rejected by other "maintainers".
"You know, the core mechanism of any copy is not something we can modify. The only person who can modify the global rules has left us long ago."
"What should we do now? That damn guy is getting closer and closer to the truth!" Kanlian's face was gloomy as he used his consciousness to communicate with the "Maintainer" in the upper realm: "If this continues, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"However, within the scope of my ability, "Maintainer No. 43", I can make you more invincible and stronger than him." In the sea of consciousness connected to the upper world, the voice of another "Maintainer" said.
Canlian, or to be more precise, Maintainer No. 43, was startled when he heard the voice.
"You...you are Maintainer No. 11?"
The group of "Protectors" themselves do not have a name like humans.
They only have codes. The closer the number is to 0, the higher their status in the "maintainer" group and the greater their authority to modify copies.
"Yes, it's me. Don't worry, No. 43." The person who spoke was a gentle bass voice. He said in a slightly soothing tone: "Now, I have modified part of the content of the dungeon world, so that you can kill any monster in the dungeon of "Dungeon". Of course , you still need to play the mechanism of the dungeon by yourself. I believe you should be very clear about the strategy, right?"
"What you need to do next is to steal all his limelight tonight and make all the players in the dungeon believe in you, and then you can lead them astray." No. 11 said simply, "Lord Three has already started to purify this red moon time. You just need to hold on for this period of time, and the crisis will be resolved."
Upon hearing this, No. 43's eyes suddenly lit up!
That’s a good idea!
Now that all players' attention is focused here, he might as well go all out and steal his limelight.
Humans tend to only believe in the strongest!
As long as I can clear Antun faster than him, there is no need to say more, these players will spontaneously come to believe in me.
At that time, I just need to lead them astray.
Buy some time for purification for the "three" adults.
Once, the scarlet purifying rain came and washed the land.
These inferior humans will no longer remember anything.
Everything will start again!
"Master San has already taken action... then I don't need to worry!" No. 43 breathed a sigh of relief, and the sense of crisis in his eyes was slowly dispelling.
"Maintainers" use numerical codes to rank their status.
But after the number 10, they will start to use some more special and colorful symbols to decorate the original numbers to highlight their authority and abilities.
That's what "three" is.
Soon, No. 43 cut off the conscious communication with the upper realm, and a determined smile appeared in his eyes.
He also used Kanlian's ID to edit a message in the copy world channel.
"Tonight at 8 o'clock, I will fight 19 people alone and quickly pass the Antuon siege! If you are interested, please PM me at 8 o'clock tonight to join the team!"
Another piece of news about one to nineteen made the already shocked players even more uneasy.
"Ghost...what's going on? Two big shots taking on 19 people in one day??? I'm stunned."
"Is it really that outrageous? I haven't even figured out the mechanism of the first green-named Devourer in the Black Mist, and our group has been destroyed 20 or 30 times... How come there's another person who can take on 19 people alone? Is this a lie?"
"Is this a lie? Don't you see who sent the message? It's our honorable Lord Kanlian from the Western Federation!"
"That's right. Lord Canlian is the ceiling of our Western Federation's combat power! Since he said so, it must be a sure win!"
"Does this mean to declare war on the Eastern Federation? They are so stubborn even in a dungeon. It's too hard!"
"Who cares? I only care about my own interests. Whoever fights faster means his strategy is more reliable!"
"Please look at me, Lord Canlian!"
…
As No. 11 said, the lower-level players don’t care who posts the guide, they only care about their own interests.
Whoever is faster and stronger, I will believe in him.
Faced with the dungeon channel exploding once again, and the two factions even starting to quarrel with each other, Kanlian narrowed his eyes and smiled triumphantly.
"Ants are just ants after all. The slightest action will cause you to be divided among yourselves."
"If you all work together and only support player 'A', you might actually discover clues about this world and traces of our upper world."
"But unfortunately, after today, you will lose your last hope."
"Rejoice now, this will be the closest step for you to the truth, but it is only the closest step."
————
That evening, around eight o'clock.
Xu Mu appeared on the deck of the siege as promised.
A white robe rustled in the sea breeze.
The hair below the hood that reached the eyebrows also swayed in the wind.
Seeing Xu Mu appear, the players who were originally crowded on the deck tried their best to squeeze out a path and watched Xu Mu walk to the siege equipment on the deck.
As soon as Xu Mu stood still, a group of people asking to be taken away heard noisily from behind.
"Lord A-God, you are here!"
"Master A-God, look at me! I, the Sword Emperor, am a real hanger ! I can help you hang on to the sky!"
"A-god daddy! I'm a professional blue... a professional nanny! I'm skilled in the art, and I can provide stable acceleration and endurance. Please take me into the team!"
"The professional nanny in front, please pay attention. I can see the totem behind you. Are you a ground-feeding nanny?"
"Me, me, me! I just want a green team! I'm fast at talking. If the boss can deal 8 9s in one second, I can shout 6 6s in one second!"
Faced with countless players rushing forward, their heads squeezed like dogs, all trying to get on this train.
Xu Mu calmly chose the fairest way of leading.
Create a group dungeon and rename the team to [Ready Player One].
A team invitation has been sent in the dungeon channel, whoever is quicker gets it first.
At the moment the message is sent.
In an instant, more than 30,000 pop-up windows popped up on Xu Mu’s information screen!
After giving priority to the first 1 to 19 players, this group of players were allowed in one after another.
There's not much to say about the team. There are 19 of them, all mixed up, with a wide range of professions, from the Creator to the Magic Gunner.
When it comes to grabbing positions, the rich players who have been in high positions for a long time and are used to having others help them play, their reaction speed is actually slower than that of the lower-level players.
Some players who failed to grab a spot couldn't help but sigh with regret, but the main reason was that Xu Mu would reveal all the ways to play the Antun dungeon later, so it wasn't too bad.
As soon as a group of players entered the group, they began to greet Xu Mu enthusiastically, saying " Hello ", "Master A, I am your ten-year old fan"
Xu Mu pretended not to hear anything and quickly assigned them all to teams.
There are five teams in total. Except for the team of four people I am in, the other four teams are all three people, and the remaining four people are in [Single Player] mode.
Xu Mu said lightly in the group channel.
"When the assault begins, don't rush to enter the map. Follow the team I call. Everyone has a card to take."
"good!!"
"Everything is up to you, Boss!!"
The mixed players in the team responded quickly.
Just when Xu Mu was about to start the offensive.
Suddenly, there was a commotion among the group of players who stayed on the deck as spectators.
Xu Mu glanced sideways slightly.
He saw a young man with blond hair walking towards him along the path made for him by the players.
How could Xu Mu not recognize him?
Canlian.
In other words, it was the upper realm being who controlled Kanlian.
As early as the evening, Xu Mu learned from passing players that Kanlian also released a channel message about a one-to-nineteen attack.
Combined with what he saw in the afternoon, Kanlian became a vegetable in the hotel.
Needless to say, the news basically came from the upper realm.
What is meant to come will come.
"Hello, A."
In full view of everyone, Kanlian walked straight up to Xu Mu and spoke with a smile.
"I just wanted to try a one-to-nineteen match tonight. You don't mind, right?"
The atmosphere instantly became hot with his smile.
The surrounding players all turned their eyes to the two top players in the dungeon.
They are also the only two players who dared to claim to be able to kill 19 people alone within just a few days of the opening of the Antun raid.
There was a hint of scrutiny in the eyes of many players.
Everyone wants to know who is stronger between these two top .
This will even determine the direction of power in the entire subsequent copy.
Kanlian's tone was clearly confrontational.
However, Xu Mu did not speak, but just glanced at him indifferently.
Kanlian didn't mind, but continued on his own.
"I really want to know, which one is more useful, my strategy or your talent?"
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and laughed softly in a voice that only Xu Mu, who was facing him, could hear.
"You should have noticed it too."
"This game may be your last chance to turn the tables."
"But unfortunately, I can tell you frankly."
"You have no chance of touching that line. You will never be able to see into our secrets."
"Because, as the rule makers, we are invincible. This dungeon was set by us. No matter how brilliant your talent is, you cannot break through the limits of the rule makers themselves."
"I can tell you in advance that the best speedrun record for the Antun dungeon is 5 minutes and 3 seconds. This record is the final result of our multiple tests and will also be my next achievement."
"No matter what, you can't exceed this number because the mechanism is here."
"You'll only be a loser."
After he finished speaking, Kanlian stopped looking at Xu Mu and turned to face the many players and announced the formation of the group team.
Just like Xu Mu, Kanlian also quickly recruited a group of players in a very short period of time, and assigned them to the team skillfully and quickly.
He wasn't worried about telling Xu Mu this.
After tonight's victory, these inferior players will be purified.
By then, they will forget everything.
"Boss A, ignore this idiot, we will definitely support you!" At this time, other players in the team cheered Xu Mu.
"Yes, in our hearts, you are the best one! Even though you don't know me, you have made your strategy guides public for free so many times before, and I am one of the beneficiaries. Just based on this point, you are better than that scumbag Canlian!"
Facing the relief from everyone, Xu Mu smiled faintly and simply responded with a word "It's alright", then said: "It's ready to open, everyone remember not to rush in, just follow my instructions."
The other players were not sure, but Xu Mu knew it very well.
The opponent he is facing now.
Not Canlian, the so-called boss of the Western Federation circle.
But the entire group of copy creators!
But Xu Mu still looked calm, with no fluctuation in expression.
Because, through so many experiences in the past copies.
Xu Mu vaguely felt the presence of something.
That is something more powerful than a strategy!
A controller who can even transcend the rules!
Now, he will show it to all players around the world in person!
————
The moment Xu Mugang clicked to start the attack, Kanlian also clicked to enter at the same time in great tacit understanding.
Two teams, forty people in total, turned into streaks of white light and disappeared from the decks of the Imperial Capital Army's warships.
The attack begins!
Two huge light screens were also unfolded in the air, transmitting the progress of the attack on both sides in real time!
The originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet as the competition officially kicked off.
On the extremely crowded deck, all the players stared at the light screen.
All they saw was which side could clear Antun faster with 19 players.
But what they didn't know was.
Behind this race, the future of all players in the world is almost determined!
