Gu Chi repeatedly looked at the two characters "Huang Yang" in the chat box.

It seemed as if he wanted to see her as a flower.

Why would it be Huang Yang...

Gu Chi asked, "Are you sure you didn't read the name wrong?"

Dr. Chen: "I'm not blind."

The detection tool was used, and the name was written clearly.

Especially after being deceived, before dying, he took a special look again, and he wouldn't make a mistake horizontally or vertically.

He remembered this name and would seek revenge sooner or later!

Gu Chi: "..."

Dr. Chen continued to complain, "You don't know how I felt at the time. An NPC pretending to be a player, really sweet and outrageous, and she even knew the identity card..."

Many players subconsciously forget about this item, but an NPC remembers it clearly. Who wouldn't be fooled?

"If it's Huang Yang... I can understand." Gu Chi did not forget the various things that happened in Northern Rivers.

Since the day they met in the Cave Mansion, Huang Yang has always known that he is not a person of the Martial Star.

Luo Qingshu was possessed by Xia Ling, providing a vivid example.

After Xia Ling exited the game, regardless of whether Luo Qingshu had any memories, as long as she came into contact with Huang Yang, both of them could detect the problem.

Huang Yang may not have known what an identity card was at first, but she could ask.

Once she accepted the concept of "another world" in her heart, it became very simple to gather information about the player's world.

With over a million players, Huang Yang's chances of encountering other players are not low.

As long as she pays attention, experiences several player arrivals, it is not difficult to find the rules.

Dr. Chen couldn't understand why Gu Chi said he could understand: "Were you also deceived by her?"

Gu Chi: "..."

Not really.

He was just sat on by Huang Yang.

It can't be considered deception, after all, he was willing.

Gu Chi has always been an honest and commendable person.

He asked Dr. Chen, "What is the name of the game?"

Dr. Chen: "The Silent Snow Mountain Secret Realm."

Gu Chi opened the game library to search.

[No game found, please try shortening or changing a new keyword]

Gu Chi: "Why can't I find it?"

Dr. Chen: "Do you want to buy the game rights?"

Gu Chi: "Yes, it's not easy to have an SS, shouldn't I give it a try?"

"Probably not."

Dr. Chen said, "There is a guild called Dragon Blade, backed by the official, specifically responsible for strategizing these failed summons into the game library. If you can't find it, it means that the slots for the instance have been bought out."

In the past, there were so few instances that came into reality, and Dragon Blade's contribution was invaluable.

They have people monitoring the game library 24 hours a day. Even if Dr. Chen returned to the real world and opened the game library for the first time, he would only come up empty-handed.

The time it takes to settle the accounts is enough for them to buy the game rights into negative numbers.

And there are other players watching?

Gu Chi unchecked the option "only show purchasable games" next to the search bar and searched again.

Sure enough.

[Game Name: "Silent Snow Mountain Secret Realm"]

[Difficulty: A→SS]

[Mode: Individual→Team]

[Number of players required: 10]

[Current available instances: 5]

[Strategy deadline: 29 days]

[Remaining game qualifications: 0]

Gu Chi's gaze shifted to the SSS-level VIP ticket in his bag.

In fact, he hadn't figured out how to face Huang Yang.

The achievement given by "Rising Sword of the Northern Rivers" only allows Huang Yang in each timeline to have the memory of this instance, but it's just "having," not locked.

In other words, if Huang Yang keeps her promise, when he dies, she can forget about him.

In this case, Huang Yang might treat him as a stranger, and kill him like she did to Dr. Chen and the others.

It could also lead to an even worse result - Huang Yang had already forgotten about him, but when she saw him again, she remembered, and then cursed, "Unfaithful man!"

As soon as the words fell, she would cut him into three halves.

Gu Chi had already imagined that scene, which was even more terrifying than the usual way of dying.

It's scary just to think about it.

If Huang Yang still remembered him, that would be even scarier.

If the Holy Maiden descended into reality, he would have to face not just a knife.

It's very likely to be a knife, a sword, plus a flash of lightning.

Gu Chi felt it necessary to go see Huang Yang.

At least give Huang Yang a shot.

A preventive shot.

It has nothing to do with being cowardly, mainly because he suddenly felt a little for Huang Yang.

As a player, occasionally going into the game to see his two-dimensional wife is also a very reasonable thing to do.

Gu Chi clicked on the SSS VIP ticket.

[You have selected the game "Silent Snow Mountain Secret Realm"]

[The "VIP Entry Pass" level is higher than the game level, please confirm if you want to continue using it to exchange for an instance slot?]

Gu Chi: "√."

[Failed to use the "VIP Entry Pass"]

Gu Chi: "?"

[All 10*5 game slots for the game "Silent Snow Mountain Secret Realm" are owned by VIPs and cannot be forcibly occupied. Please choose another game.]

Gu Chi: "..."All are VIPs, is this serious?

Although the VIP admission tickets are graded on the surface, there is no difference in the "occupation" function. Everyone is a VIP. Whoever uses the ticket first can lock in the qualification. Gu Chi knows this.

But this is an SS-level instance.

In theory, only those who have cleared an SS-level instance of the same level will receive an SS VIP ticket. The banner advertisement for "Dust Funeral Bell" is still hanging in the game library's activity area. Where did the other players get the tickets?

Is it still 50 tickets?

Does he really not want to meet Huang Yang in advance?

Gu Chi seriously suspects that Little Broken Game is plotting revenge against him.

The people from Dragon Blade are also very puzzled about this.

In a conference hall in a certain large building in the capital, more than a hundred people "on duty" tonight are discussing this strange matter.

"A→SS, the difficulty is still preserved in the game library. Is this the first time?" A young man in a jacket pursed his lips and said, "It's tricky."

When the instances in the Pool of Summons fail to be cleared and enter the game library, the progress and difficulty will be reset. For the NPCs in the game, it is equivalent to a time reset.

Even if you make the instance into Ω, when other teams go in to fight, it will revert to the original difficulty.

Only when some unforeseen circumstances occur that are not affected by time, can the increased difficulty of the instance be maintained.

So, for those offline instances, wanting to increase the difficulty from A to S and bring it into reality is actually a serious technical challenge.

Of course, it could also be luck.

Because in some instances, there are items that can transcend time and are not affected by rollback. If it is related to the difficulty of the instance, then maintaining the difficulty will become relatively easy.

They have already figured out most of these mechanisms, but A→SS is really the first time they have encountered it.

And even the game mode has changed, from individual to team. The time limit for clearing the instance has also been extended from 15 days to a month, which has never happened before.

The strangest thing is that the difficulty of the instance has been raised from A to SS, but they used A-level VIP tickets to occupy the game slots.

When they first saw "Silent Snow Mountain Secret Realm" followed by two S's, they were very nervous, even a little panicked.

The difficulty of SS instances, in the current version, only has one reference, "Dust Funeral Bell," which is a high-difficulty instance that even the top players in the Do Nothing group are helpless against. If those playful ordinary players buy the slots, then the disaster is almost certain, and the consequences are unimaginable.

Under normal circumstances, they only need one round, 10 game slots, because clearing an instance once can avoid the game disaster. But for an SS-level instance, it's hard to say whether it can be cleared. Who dares to guarantee that entering the instance once will result in a 100% successful strategy?

Instances of this difficulty naturally need to be controlled as much as possible by these high-level players to increase the margin of error.

In terms of individual combat power, they may not be as good as the real big shots in the Do Nothing group.

But in terms of team cooperation, Dragon Blade considers themselves second to none, and no other guild dares to claim to be the first.

The Do Nothing group is ultimately just a chat group, and they don't train their teams' coordination and tacit understanding like they do.

In this respect, they are professionals.

And because there have been too many instances that have come into reality recently—although most of them are from abroad, they are enough to serve as a warning—so they have specially increased the number of "on-duty" personnel. The number of people watching the game library every 12 hours has been increased from 1000 to 3000, and this conference hall is only a small part of it.

Many of them are not in the Dragon Blade guild, but they will obey the "general's" orders.

This also includes some players from the Do Nothing group.

3000 people may seem like a lot, but it's not that many, considering the player base. When "Silent Snow Mountain Secret Realm" was just moved from the Pool of Summons to the game library, they only managed to buy less than 30 slots, but someone tried it and found that both S-level and A-level VIP tickets could be used, so they started frantically clicking on the backpacks and eventually grabbed 47 slots.

There are a total of 5 chances to clear the instance, and each time, they need to gather 10 players to enter the instance, which means they have the final say on when to start the instance.

This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

What followed was the same doubt as Gu Chi's.

"Is Little Broken Game causing bugs again?"

In the front row of the conference hall, a burly man with the ID "Soft and Cute Panda" asked another burly man next to him, "Little Cutie, what do you think?"

Soft and Cute spread his hands, "What can we do? Just wait for the fix."

The woman next to them couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard the term "Little Cutie."

She was really sober every time she saw these two—never judge a player's gender by their ID, or you'll suffer a big loss.

In every sense of the word.

With IDs that have nothing to do with their appearance and are very misleading, these two guys have teamed up to win countless games in the individual mode, with a win rate of 35%, and they can win first place every three games on average, deceiving countless innocent players... she was one of them."I don't think it's a BUG." Chu Mu pondered for a long time and came to a conclusion, "It may be related to this update."

"What do you mean?" The woman had a notebook on her leg, and her fingers were tapping on the keyboard.

Chu Mu was their battle commander, very smart, and deeply trusted by the general. She had to write down Chu Mu's words and report to the general tomorrow.

"In this update, there is a patch for obtaining Ω difficulty clearance rewards, do you remember?" Chu Mu asked.

The woman opened the historical announcement records and nodded, "I remember."

Chu Mu summed it up, "Little broken game has adjusted the clearance rewards to be consistent with the initial difficulty of the instance, which affects the logic of using the VIP tickets."

"Clearance rewards" and "VIP tickets" are like two gears, with "instance difficulty" in the middle. The rotation of the gears depends on the difficulty in the middle.

Once the difficulty is fixed, the speed of the gears is also fixed.

A→SS now only counts as A-level rewards, this is the harvest.

An A-level VIP ticket can occupy the game qualification from A→SS, this is the cost.

The relationship between the two is equivalent, this change is reasonable. Even if it is an unexpected BUG, Little broken game should not change it again.

Even if it is changed, it does not affect the current situation, after all, the rewards for Ghostly Child's first clearance of Ω are still there.

Compared to the legends, a few dozen spots are really nothing.

Chu Mu said, "Don't worry about the game qualification being revoked, let's go directly to the strategy process."

Beside him, Lie Tianweng spoke, "I just grabbed a spot, shall I lead the team?"

Game rights cannot be transferred, whoever grabs it can enter.

Chu Mu shook her head, "You don't need to rush."

Lie Tianweng's strength is beyond doubt, with a total attribute of 260+, he is one of the strongest players in the Dragon Blade Guild.

The "middle-level" instance led by Lie Tianweng has never failed so far.

They call the instances that are transferred to the game library due to the failure of the summons "middle-level" instances, which are between online and offline.

Each player can only enter the middle-level instance once, and will permanently lose the game qualification after leaving the instance.

If it's just A or S, Lie Tianweng can go to fight now. Even if he fails, there are other top players who can lead the second team.

However, SS cannot take such a risk. Referring to "The Dusty Funeral Bell", only when ten players like Lie Tianweng enter the instance at the same time, is there a chance to fight for a clearance opportunity.

"There are currently three spots outside, let's let seven people go to fill in first." Chu Mu arranged, "Mainly to gather intelligence, if possible, clear it, if not, try to keep more people alive for a while, and then organize the second team after the specific content of the instance and the requirements for combat power are determined."

The woman said, "Okay."

Chu Mu looked at Lie Tianweng again, "You just wait until after the new version."

The Pure Land game was updated on January 1st, and the instance will continue until January 5th. They can first see if there are any new equipment or items, try to improve their strength, and wait until the last day to enter the instance, so that he can have more time to make other arrangements.

"Have you found out which map the Silent Snow Mountain is?" Chu Mu turned to ask the girl behind him.

The girl was tapping on the notebook, not even lifting her head, "Wuqu Star, the time point is after the year 6102. The Silent Snow Mountain was called the Nameless Mountain before... I'm still looking for more."

"Wuqu Star?" Chu Mu pondered for a moment, "I remember that in the part of the instance on Wuqu Star, after obtaining an Ω rating, you can get a clone that retains cultivation, and continue to use it when entering the instance next time?"

Lie Tianweng nodded, "Yes, I have one, Dao Realm."

It's a bit tiring to talk about it. Originally, he had more than just Dao Realm... far more, until he met a certain goddess.

Chu Mu asked, "What's the combat power of Dao Realm?"

Lie Tianweng was surprised, "You don't know?"

Chu Mu said, "..."

There are few things in the game that he doesn't know, and the advanced realm of Wuqu Star is one of them.

One reason is that he has fewer instances of Wuqu Star, and the other reason...

Chu Mu said expressionlessly, "I'm not good at fighting."

He wouldn't say that he has never cultivated to the Dao Realm.

And he wouldn't say that he was killed by a player in the Transcendent Realm with the cultivation of a Sage Realm.

This novel is available on bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

That player's name is Old Li.

Fighting on Wuqu Star is not that simple, in fact, real-life player PK is not simple either.

This involves the issue of proficiency, just like the same gun, one is a gun expert, and the other is a rookie who has just touched a gun. The power of headshots and body outlines is completely different.

It's not that if your attributes are raised, you have equipment and skills, then you will be very powerful in fighting. This depends more on the player himself.

Lie Tianweng didn't know how to explain, "This is not easy to measure, it depends on the specific Dao."

The reason why the NPCs in Wuqu Star are difficult to fight is because there are abilities like "Dao" present.

In the language of the High Martial World, Dao is equivalent to mastering a rule power that surpasses ordinary strength. Assuming that this rule is "death", even if all attributes are 1, a slap from them can take your life.

Putting aside the discussion of Daoism, the direction of cultivation also needs to be considered. Some cultivators have a low realm, but their attributes are exceptionally off the charts. Lietian Weng has seen a Transcendent Realm monk with over 300 in physique, higher than many Holy Realm or even Dao Realm cultivators. He specializes in body refining and is incredibly tough, to the point of being almost indestructible.

This leads to the abstract nature of the combat power in Wumu Star. You can't just look at the attributes, nor can you ignore them.

To describe the strength of the Dao Realm, Lietian Weng can only use an equally abstract phrase to summarize: "Only divine arts can defeat divine arts."

Chu Mu Chen: "......"

Forget it, it's not important.

What's important is that Ω can retain its cultivation.

Being able to confirm this is enough.

Chu Mu Chen said to the woman, "For the other players who have quotas but no backup files, choose Wumu Star for the subsequent summoning mode, and try to get Ω. The higher the cultivation in this realm, the better."

The woman looked up at him and said, "That will require a lot of Star Groups and Ships of Civilization."

In other words, it will require resources from the "national treasury."

"It's okay," Chu Mu Chen said, "You can go to the general tomorrow for approval, and he will agree."

An SS-level instance is no joke. If a big demon is released, the end of the world could be brought forward.

To increase the clearance rate, not only do they need to use Star Groups and Ships of Civilization, but they also need a large number of Twin Contracts.

If the "national treasury" is full, they can forcibly create a high-cultivation Ω backup file.

These are all areas that can be manipulated.

"Also, trouble the general to write an official borrowing certificate for me. I'll need it later," Chu Mu Chen said.

"Okay," the woman nodded in agreement.

Lietian Weng was puzzled, "Why wait until tomorrow? It's not even 1 o'clock yet, and the general shouldn't be asleep at this time, right?"

He's a rather decisive person and usually acts immediately when he has a plan.

"It's okay to wait half a day. The SS-level instance isn't urgent," Chu Mu Chen explained, "And the general isn't in a good mood tonight. Let him rest well, and let's be more considerate of him."

"Not in a good mood?" Lietian Weng was taken aback, "Did something happen?"

"It's not a big deal," Chu Mu Chen said, "You should know that the general is busy every day, right?"

Lietian Weng: "I know."

The general is not just the general of Dragon Blade. In addition to guild matters, there are many things in reality that require the general's attention.

Chu Mu Chen: "Think about it, after the general deals with a bunch of things every day, he's already exhausted, and then he has to make time to play games and participate in the summoning. Isn't that even more tiring?"

Lietian Weng was puzzled, "But the general doesn't care about the rewards and treats the game as one of the ways to relax, right?"

Chu Mu Chen: "If you're going to have fun, you have to have fun. If you can't have fun, naturally, you won't be in a good mood."

Lietian Weng understood, "So the general is not having a good time playing?"

Chu Mu Chen nodded, "You wouldn't be happy either if you were in his shoes."

Lietian Weng: "Why?"

Chu Mu Chen: "Because the general was killed right at the beginning."

Lietian Weng: "......"

Oh, so the general also made a contribution to the 5-second leaderboard.

At the same time.

Old Li popped up in the "Do Nothing" group: "Pus pus."

Orange Orange couldn't wake up: "Bibo bibo."

Paper Flick Ice: "Jiumi jiumi."

Old Li: "No one's sleeping yet?"

Orange Orange couldn't wake up: "Can't sleep."

Strength 39: "I've been insomniac for two days, I don't know why."

Ghostly Child: "/chuckle, I know why. Do you want me to tell you?"

Strength 39: "/angry, shut up!"

Night Cat Cold: "So lively in the middle of the night?"

Second-hand Trader: "That's right, a bunch of night owls, when is it not lively at night?"

Old Li: "I have an idea."

Chu Liuxiang: "Go ahead."

Old Li: "It's the end of the version, the last month. We've been playing together for so long, and we haven't had a serious fight with each other. Why don't we take this opportunity to set up a PVP match? It's also a commemoration for the old version that's about to pass."

Orange Orange couldn't wake up: "Are you sure it's a commemoration and not that you want us to give you our heads?"

Old Li: "Le, are you admitting that you're bad?"

Orange Orange couldn't wake up: "/pout, you're the bad one. I'm just exposing your true colors."

Old Li: "What true colors? I'm serious. This month is the last month of the year. Let's get together and have a friendly match."

Crazy Tire: "You said the same thing last year, and then you jumped out of the bushes and gave me a slash."

Old Li: "You can call it a surprise."

Crazy Tire: "?"

Crazy Tire: "Do you want me to surprise you too?"

Old Li: "Sure, just this time. I'll be waiting for you!"

Night Cat Cold: "Actually, we can have a fight. Old Li is right. It's the end of the version, so let's see who's the best."

Orange Orange couldn't wake up: "I'm not coming, unless the background is set to Wumu Star."

Sexy Uncle: "Haha, you might as well just say you have a Ω backup file."

Orange Orange couldn't wake up: "Hehe, I'm just afraid that you won't dare to come if I say it."

Old Li: "Le, do you think only you have a backup file?"Chuyu Xiang: "/Grinning, I don't have it, but I agree with Wuqu Star."

Yemao Han: "You're so fake... I agree too."

Power 39: "? So we all have save files, right?"

Lao Li Tou: "No, no, I was just saying. Come on, don't worry."

Crazy Tire: "Alright, let's do this. This time I must avenge last year's defeat!"

Second-hand Dealer: "Count me in."

Brilliant Fireworks: "+1."

Sexy Uncle: "+1."

Everyone: "+1."

Chengcheng Sleepyhead: "What about the time?"

Yemao Han: "Do you even need to ask?"

Lao Li Tou: "Of course, we choose the middle of the month when the goddess is away!"

...

It's a bit late, still haven't adjusted my routine, wuwu (begging for monthly votes!)
