Volume 15: Organisms and Organisms and Organisms Chapter 50 Begins in the Sky (Part 1)
(I’m writing a comic script and it’s already in the final review stage. I feel like writing a comic script is really tiring… The result won’t be out until Monday. If it doesn’t make it through this month, it’ll be a waste orz)
Players are a group of creatures that can't sit still.
They always find fun for themselves at all times and in all places, as long as the rules allow it. For example, jumping off a building, looking for treasures, setting up an area for themselves to adventure, fighting with others, etc. As long as the rules allow it, they can do anything.
After millions of players were crammed into one area for several days, the already restless players became even more restless. Especially when the pale-faced players of the Free Alliance descended from the sky on a warship, the excitement became inexplicably frenetic. Players like excitement and like to find something to do. So as long as there is something to do, it's fine.
The arenas and city facilities arranged by the Holy Light changed almost every day, and the players spent their magic and energy without frowning every day. The Holy Light Sequence itself did not have any requirements. It was just like any game's conscientious system NPC, constantly restoring the broken ground, and did not even charge any reward or fine. The implication was that the players could do whatever they wanted. Therefore, a group of PK players often extended into a large melee of tens of thousands of people. Those who did not want to fight could directly apply to enter the subspace to watch the fun, or go to the interstitial space to drink and surf the Internet.
The player city that the players had claimed seemed to have become a reality. In just four or five days, the players had accepted this orc-like living setting. The name of the war city had been firmly established.
I got up in the morning and went out, then entered the subspace, and watched a group of players on the street PKing crazily and knocking down countless buildings. Then I ran to the subspace tavern, found a seat to sit down, watched the live broadcasts of those powerful players or the funny videos of the old bitch, and laughed so hard that I couldn't help myself, and rushed out to attack in a deserted place.
Of course, there are safe areas where there are melee areas. Since it is already the final moment of the competition, there are many players who do not want to fight and just want to watch the fun. Holy Light has provided various security services very considerately, making people feel at home.
However, there are always some players who are very observant, or have a deep understanding of the game, which allows them to discover some problems that they should not have discovered.
"...Energy-gathering array? What the hell are the people of Holy Light doing?"
Are they absorbing the magic power spread by the players...?
The Mage player looked at the hidden patterns on the ground and in the street decorations outside with a slightly puzzled look on his face.
The decorations of Holy Light are complex, gorgeous and magnificent, giving people a sense of grandeur and class. Few people pay attention to the patterns of the streets and surrounding decorations. But there are always players who have nothing to do.
The mage player is a life-style player who is very keen on studying the history of the game and magic, and has considerable research attainments on various magic arrays. Of course, this does not mean that he is very powerful, but the arrangement of the Holy Light here is completely blatant. Whether it is the ground of the street or the layout of the room, there will be a network of energy gathering arrays.
The pale golden magic circle blends perfectly into the background, collecting the magic power of players in battle or daily life into some unknown direction in the void. There are millions of magic power released by players who have awakened and awakened the second stage. Although the players' strength is lower than that of NPCs, magic power is magic power. What is the Holy Light going to do with so much magic power? If the magic power released by so many players is absorbed without reservation every day, I am afraid that an artificial god can be created.
What is this? An artificial heaven? Are the people of Holy Light going to do something with the Players Conference?
"Hey, buddy, what are you doing squatting over here?"
"Study the patterns here."
Facing the warrior's greeting, the mage player shook his head and pointed at the patterns and whispered:
"Something is wrong here. The Holy Light Sequence has laid out various rune arrays around here to absorb overflowing magic power. Most players don't know how to restrain the magic aura and suppress magic power. These rune arrays have probably been working at full capacity for almost half a week. What are they doing with so much magic power?"
"Ah? Rune array? What is that? Isn't it just a bunch of ordinary golden patterns?"
"No, there are a lot of energy-gathering array lines embedded in those patterns... It's better to say that they are blatantly modified with energy-gathering arrays."
"So what? Isn't it enough that the game background pattern looks nice?"
The mage player's colleagues shrugged their shoulders and didn't mind the mage player's fuss.
"Where do all those meaningful things come from? Even if the game company wants to do something detailed, it's impossible to do it at the player conference, right? You've lost your mind by thinking too much about playing games. Why does a game always want to trick players?"
"Is that so... But I always feel that things shouldn't go wrong with details like this..."
Are there any problems with the details in Les Miserables?
Looking at the golden lines covering the ground and the sky, the mage player showed an expression of disbelief.
However, this was something that was very difficult for archaeology players to accept, but it was quite common for other players. The warrior player patted the mage on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Why would you mind so much? If you ask me, the pattern looks so beautiful that the system uses it as decoration. And there are so many similar patterns and patterns. How do know that these things are energy-gathering arrays? Did your system prompt you that this thing is an energy-gathering array? Is there a translation for your skill?"
"No... But if there are high-energy items interfering, the skill will go awry..."
"Hey, can a game company still cheat you? Don't think too much. You've always thought about a lot of things since you were a kid, but I haven't seen you become a scientist with an auxiliary brain behind your head?"
"I think it's strange that if you want to be a scientist, you must first bring 70 or 80 auxiliary brains..."
As if he was convinced by his companions, the mage player nodded reluctantly, not paying attention to the strange patterns on the floor, and followed his friend into the venue.
There were many players who had similar discoveries to this mage player. They found that there seemed to be many traces of energy-gathering arrays painted on the ground and some decorations. However, because the player conference was about to be held and the official exhibition match had already begun, many people were in a hurry to enter the venue and had no time to pay attention to such details. And those energy-gathering arrays were working right under the eyes of all the players, gathering the fragmented magic power into some empty spaces.
