Chapter 202 Global Public Beta
"There are two more things that need your help to pass on to the officials."
All transactions were completed, and when the meeting was coming to an end, Mu You opened a private chat channel with Sagittarius.
"What?" asked the archer.
"First, the location of the Illuminati fleeing personnel is likely to be in Moscow, and the probability is small to be in cities around Moscow." Mu You said.
After he went back that day, he had checked the global temperature changes that day, and he was basically sure that the group was in Moscow.
"Ah..." Sagittarius was surprised, there are too many forces investigating the whereabouts of the Illuminati and his party, but so far none of them have been found. This group of people seems to have evaporated out of thin air.
Unexpectedly, Aries would suddenly reveal the news of the Illuminati at this time... If the news is true, its importance is self-evident.
"In addition, if you find someone from the Illuminati, if you want to do it, remember to do it before next Thursday." Mu You said again.
"Oh? Why?" Sagittarius asked subconsciously.
"Because the Illuminati have a door, and the next opening time will be next Thursday. If they are late, they may use the door to escape." Mu You thought for a while and said it directly. There is no need to hide this thing. If the country catches the Illuminati, it will definitely be able to find that door.
Capturing Taurus in the astral world and the earth is completely two kinds of difficulty. Especially after Mu You killed Gemini, Taurus will definitely be more cautious, and it is almost impossible to trap Taurus with a bottle in the same way.
The astral world not only has a resurrection mechanism, but also the wizard association. In short, once they escape to the astral world, the uncontrollable factors will greatly increase.
Besides, once the door opener, that is, the Taurus, dies, the door will stay in the open state when he was dying, and it will take half a year before the identity of the door opener can be lifted and taken over by others. If you kill the Taurus while opening the door, it will turn this door into an out-of-control door just like the passage at the bottom of the Yangtze River. There are great hidden dangers, so it is best to get rid of this group of people before he opens the door.
"OK…"
Sagittarius nodded, understood what Mu You meant, and asked, "What about the second thing?"
"Secondly... you can tell them that I am here to accept orders for evolution potions." Mu You said.
The shooter's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and the matter was even more important.
The God of Aries can refine evolution medicine, and there is no shortage of material countries and major forces. This is a cooperation that can satisfy the interests of both parties and at the same time benefit the entire human race.
And from the fact that Aries was willing to refine medicine for the people in their club before, it can be seen that the Aries God doesn't seem to mind the outflow of evolution medicine.
When the official player asked about the source of the shooter's evolution potion, she was actually hesitant to say it, but considering that Aries didn't allow it, she still kept it a secret.
Until now, Aries finally took the initiative to explain that it can make medicine for the outside world, and now Sagittarius can confidently and boldly announce this news.
"Then... what kind of remuneration do you need?" Sagittarius asked hurriedly.
Of course she doesn't think that the refining of Aries is free, and everyone in the association has to charge, let alone outsiders.
"The same three main ingredients as before, abyss worm reverse scale, eye grass, and unicorn blood. Each bottle of potion needs to provide two materials. In addition, each bottle of potion needs to pay an additional material worth 50 years of life. I have a copy here The list, above are the materials I need, and the materials on this list will be received first, and if they are all collected, I will make another request."
Mu You took out a prepared list and passed it to the shooter. This list is full of materials for some important potions that he will need in the future. It is too scattered, and some of them are relatively rare. It would take time and effort for him to find them by himself, so he simply took this opportunity to solve them.
"OK."
The shooter took it, looked at it for a while, and put away the list carefully.
After arranging these two things, the meeting time has come to an end.
Mu You bid farewell to everyone, and the next second, he and his avatar returned to the pet shop at the same time.
Putting away the twin rings and a few new cards, Mu You didn't start making cards in a hurry, but entered the game first and teleported to the ghost ship.
【You planted the guardian treant seed on the bow of the ghost ship. 】
【You used 'Crazy Growth' on the guardian treant sprouts, and the sprouts grew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye they grew into a small tree one meter high. 】
【You used ‘Crazy Growth’ on the guardian treant seedlings…】
…
【You used 'crazy growth' on the guardian treant, and the guardian treant remained unchanged. The mature treant cannot continue to catalyze growth. 】
The catalysis of this kind of low-level treant is much simpler. Mu You spent five or six times growing wildly, and when the treant grew to a height of more than five meters, it reached maturity.
Mu You clicked on the text of the mature tree man.
【Guardian Treant: A defensive ancient tree. After taking root, it can throw magic stones into the air to counterattack incoming enemies. The attack range is 1200 meters, the attack interval is 2 seconds, and the damage is 75-100. It can pull out the roots and move slowly on the ground in the form of a treant. In the form of a treant, it cannot throw stones. 】
The damage of a stone once every two seconds is not bad. The point is that it can fire continuously without consumption. At the same time, as a treant, it can stand up and walk around by itself, choosing a more suitable attack position.
The range is more than one kilometer. Compared with modern naval guns, this distance is of course nothing, but in the astral world where large and heavy weapons cannot be effective, this range is already among the best. As a defensive building, it must be qualified of.
Then Mu You manipulated the character to walk behind the boat and put away the fishing net hanging on the stern.
After the ghost ship sails, he doesn't need to throw the fishing nets into the sea every day, but just hang them on the stern of the boat and harvest them once a day.
【You have harvested a fishing net, and in the fishing net are bound golden fish*2, light fiend*1, ice angel*1, and okda bug*1. 】
"Oh?" Mu You was taken aback.
Today's fishing net seems to be good. Five fish came out at once. He has seen the golden fish and Guangsha many times. The surface of the golden fish's scales is covered with a layer of extremely high-purity gold, making it look like it was carved out of gold. Normal; Light Fiend is a fish that can permanently glow. Both of these are ornamental fish that can be kept as pets.
It’s the first time I’ve seen the remaining two types.
【Ice Angel: Fish soaked in ice elements, the whole body is light blue, and can walk freely in the ice. When in danger, it emits a strong cold air, instantly freezing the surrounding seawater into ice cubes, so as to escape. 】
【Okda worm: A special magical coral polyp, which contains deadly poison. Within one hour after eating it, the experience value gained will increase by 20%. 】
Ice Angel has nothing to say. It is a kind of ice-type fish that can travel through the ice. It has no attack ability, so it looks strange. It can be kept as a pet fish.
What Mu You cares more about is the second one, Okoda, a kind of coral polyp. The effect is actually to increase the amount of experience points gained, and if he is not mistaken, it seems that this thing is not for pets, but for people!
Contains highly poisonous... That is to say, this thing can only be eaten in the star spirit world, because if you eat it, you will be poisoned to death, and you can enjoy the one-hour experience increase after resurrection, not to mention that the increase rate is not high, only 20%. Compared to the side effects, it is better than nothing.
However, the appearance of this thing let Mu You know that there is an effect of 'increasing experience points'. You must know that after level 20, each level is an astronomical number of experience points. After level 25, there are tens of millions of experience points. Even if you have enough energy and time, there are not so many monsters to farm.
However, if the effect of gaining experience points can be stacked to a certain extent, it can greatly reduce the difficulty of upgrading in the later stage, making it possible to upgrade after level 25.
As usual, Muyou kept these fish in the backpack in the game first, and then retrieved them after entering the door next time.
In the following time, Mu You went out to complete the task of making updates, and then went home to start making cards.
…
While Mu You was busy making cards.
On the other side, in Q city in the north, after Sagittarius returned from the meeting, he rushed to Bingdi's guild building immediately, and contacted the president and four vice-guild members.
A moment later, there was a crisp sound of porcelain falling in the conference room of the Ice Empress.
But at the moment, the five high-level executives in the meeting room, none of them cared about the expensive teacup that was broken on the ground, and all looked at the shooter in shock.
"What? You said that the great **** you know can refine evolution potions?"
"Yes." Sagittarius nodded, looking at the stunned expressions of the guild executives who were always calm and calm on the opposite side, it felt quite novel.
"Is this true?" One of the vice-chairmen couldn't help but said, "Sister, it's not that we doubt you, but you can't talk nonsense, you have to be responsible if something goes wrong!"
"It's true. My evolution potion was made by the master himself with the materials I provided." Sagittarius nodded confidently.
"Hiss..."
There was a sound of breathing, and everyone looked at each other in surprise, but soon this surprise turned into ecstasy.
What restricts the improvement of the player's high-level power now? It's never about level experience, but evolution potion! The whole world does not know how many players are stuck in the upgrade bottleneck, just waiting for a bottle of evolution potion.
If there is a sufficient amount of medicine, the number of players above level 10 and above level 15 of the major forces can easily double in an instant.
Before, the output of the evolution potion was stuck in the hands of the Wizarding Association. Players could only try their luck by using various methods of stealing and fighting.
And right now, humans finally have a way to stably produce evolutionary medicine, which is of great significance!
Several high-level executives looked at each other, and the first thought that popped up was naturally to take this approach into their own hands.
But after thinking about it carefully, I found that it was impossible, because this great **** is not from their Ice Emperor.
The meaning of this great **** is obviously to inform the official forces of the country about this matter, and then announce it to other forces.
The reason why their Ice Empress was the first to know was simply because there was an acquaintance of this great **** in the guild, and the girl from the other guild notified them first for the sake of being in the same guild.
If they still want to keep this news for themselves, they will be a little ignorant.
Not to mention that the other party really wants to reveal this kind of news, there are other ways, and more importantly, doing so is equivalent to offending that great **** to death, and you still expect others to refine medicine for you in the future?
So this idea just flashed in a few people's minds, and it was immediately ruled out.
The president of Ice Emperor also made a decisive decision, immediately crushed the cigarette **** in the ashtray on the table, picked up his coat, and ordered: "Deploy the helicopter and come over, let's go to the capital, go now!"
An hour later, the president of Ice Empress and two vice presidents rushed to the capital overnight and found the headquarters of the dragon group.
Soon, in the conference room of the Dragon Group, there was a similar movement from the Ice Emperor headquarters not long ago.
"Is this true?" In the hall, more than a dozen core members of the dragon team showed astonishment, and they all looked at the flowers in the fog and asked the same question.
"I promise that everything I say is true."
Being watched by so many masters, the pressure is still relatively high, Sagittarius took a deep breath, nodded seriously, and then said: "In addition, the Great Master has two things that I want to tell: the first is the remnants of the Illuminati, It is very likely to be located in Moscow now. Second, the Great God has a way to transport players to the capital of the empire through the waters."
"Oh?" Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words. Several members of the Ice Empress looked at the flowers in the mist in surprise, but she hadn't mentioned these two pieces of news before.
"What exactly is going on?"
Archer then recounted in detail the information Mu You had told her at the previous meeting, as well as the boarding plan.
Everyone looked at each other after listening.
Let’s not talk about boarding, this is actually not a big deal for the top players present, but for other players, there are indeed a lot of people who are troubled by this.
As for the remnants of the Illuminati, this is indeed the target they have been tracking recently, and they have not found any clues so far. They did not expect to be prompted with information by outsiders.
In the past, this information was considered a major event, and they would definitely send someone to confirm it as soon as possible, but right now, no one has time to care about this, and everyone's attention is obviously still focused on the evolution potion.
Afterwards, a group of people questioned Wuli Kanhua in detail, Sagittarius tried to tell everything else he could tell except for the matter of the Mystic Association, and then he did not forget to hand in the list given by Mu You come out.
Until all the questions that could be asked were asked, the dragon group sent her and the ice emperor's people away.
"Evolution medicine can be refined, what is the origin of this player..." Watching the Bing Emperor and his party leave, the Blood Emperor leaned against the balcony, musing with his arms around his arms.
"I don't know... This one is a bit too mysterious, I can't find any trace, it seems like a person who appeared out of nowhere..." Beside Jiuyou stood in front of the window sill, shaking his head when he heard the words, also thinking.
Of course, it is impossible for them not to investigate.
It can be said that after returning from the swamp last week, they conducted a comprehensive investigation of the female player, and her identity was quite clean. The most important thing is that after being monitored for a week, she was not seen going out to contact any suspicious people, but after only one day passed, she suddenly brought these three amazing news, which shows that she must have met that great **** during the period They met, but they didn't notice anything...
'Shenlong sees the head but doesn't see the end' or something, it's not enough to describe the mystery of this player.
"I think that girl seems to be hiding something, do you need to find a way to get it out?" Blood Emperor said.
Jiuyou shook his head: "Whether you hide it or not, at least the existence of this person is a good thing for the country and mankind, and that's enough."
After the Marsh trip last time, Jiuyou originally thought that what they met was just a more enthusiastic Sanren great god, and his strength was about the same as them.
But now, after news of the evolution potion broke, he suddenly realized that this person might have surpassed their current level and reached a higher level.
No matter what, if you offend this mysterious **** and lose the source of the evolution potion because of investigating such unnecessary details, then the loss outweighs the gain.
"What should we do now?"
"What else can I do? Let's start collecting materials with all our strength. These three materials are not so easy to collect, let's count as much as you can find." Jiuyou said with a sigh.
"Aren't you afraid that it's a liar who came to cheat the materials?"
"Even if it is a liar, we will recognize it. After all, this is not a matter of a few bottles of a dozen bottles of evolution potion, but a stable production path for masters, which is worth taking a gamble. What's more, I have a hunch that the probability of winning the bet is very high..."
"What about boarding?"
"It is always good to have one more choice, but there should not be too many people. Go back and contact the major guilds to choose suitable personnel..."
"There is also Moscow, and arrange for someone to check as soon as possible..."
…
City K, pet shop.
Mu You didn't know that he had caused heated discussions in the circle of high-level players.
At the moment he is following the news.
It is now 11:30 pm on July 31, and half an hour later, it will be the official start time of the global public beta.
And just 10 minutes ago, all players who were online at that time were forcibly kicked out of the game, and it was displayed that 'the old version has expired, please download the new version in time'.
At the same time, The Fool's official website also released the latest version of the game and forum installation package, and almost everyone who saw it downloaded it immediately.
It's just that before the public beta, the game is temporarily unable to log in, and after clicking it, it will stay on a long announcement interface.
In the announcement, the details of the new version are described in detail in a lengthy length close to ten thousand words.
Mu You read this announcement several times in detail, and the general content is to expand and explain the previous rough announcement in detail.
In summary, there are only three points that are worth noting.
The first is that when the public beta starts, the location of everyone in the server will be refreshed.
This is mainly for internal beta players. No matter where your character stays when the closed beta is offline, at the moment of the public beta, no matter whether you are online or not, the game character will be refreshed in the star spirit world corresponding to the location at that time.
For Mu You, if he continues to stay in the pet shop, he will naturally return to the original peaceful village.
Because of this rule, many people even rushed to change locations overnight, and rushed to the nearest relatives and friends’ homes, just to get together when they went online.
Secondly, after the public beta, all players' personal panels will be opened directly, no need to obtain skins to open.
The third is the details of life transactions.
Lifespan can only be traded on the forum, while the Fool's forum and the game are only visible to me.
All lifespan transactions will be carried out under the supervision of the Fool Forum, following the two principles of 'active' and 'voluntary', all lifespan transactions that are directly or indirectly coerced, induced, hypnotized, etc. will not be able to be successfully traded.
Mu You is not yet clear on the criteria for judging whether a transaction is coerced or not, but with the supernatural powers shown in the game "The Fool", it is possible to read minds directly, and it will not be possible for people to take advantage of loopholes.
In addition, the minimum age for logging into the game is limited to ten years old, while the minimum age for opening a lifespan transaction is fifteen years old. That is to say, not everyone can enter the game after the public beta, and children who are too young can only watch the fun.
As for the '0:00 o'clock' of the public test time, it is calculated according to the time of the East Eighth District, just like the last large-scale internal test.
This is probably because of the transcendent status of the Laner Empire in the Protoss World, which belongs to the absolute center of that world. Correspondingly, it happens to coincide with the domestic standard time, which is convenient for domestic players.
The day approaching the public beta will naturally not be peaceful. Since the afternoon, discussions on major media and live broadcast platforms have fermented.
The number of talk shows on game popularization has increased rapidly, and the major TV stations basically did not broadcast any normal TV content this day. They all invited various experienced and old players to explain the novice strategies, precautions after going online, etc. Livelier than New Year's Eve.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, finally, morning arrived.
In the pet shop, Lin Xue and Xiaoya didn't intend to go home to rest. They loaded the game early and waited for the game to open on the sofa.
On the rare opening day of the public beta, the three of them were all planning to play the game all night.
Soon, as the hour hand passed twelve o'clock, the three of them clicked into the game in unison.
The announcement page that has been stuck before can finally be turned.
【Snowy night, you wake up in a snow-covered forest...】
Familiar subtitles appeared, and the game progress played the original background story from the beginning.
The three of them are old players, so there is no need to look carefully at these things, just skip them along the way.
Soon it was time to extract the relic.
【It is detected that you already have a relic, the extraction link is skipped...】
Relic Skip, there is nothing to say about this.
However, Mu You suddenly noticed that there was no instruction to hide the relic in the relic prompt that popped up this time.
"That is to say, there will be no hidden relics immediately after the public beta?" Mu You thought.
From this point of view, the hidden relic should be a specific pool with a fixed number, and it will be gone when it is drawn.
At the beginning, it may indeed be one in a thousand, but with more and more players in the internal test, the number of hidden relics is gradually insufficient, and the actual probability of being drawn is actually less than one in a thousand.
No wonder Xiaoya took more than 20,000 draws to get it when her luck increased tenfold.
