The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 245 "Monster Hunter" advance preview! (ask for monthly ticket)

After waking up, Xu Meng jumped out of the bed, put on tactile gloves and ran out of the bedroom.

"Take me over there and have a look."

He couldn't wait to see what outrageous things the players would do next.

"No problem!" Xiao Meng held his hand and said with full energy.

"set off!"

Games and holographic display devices activated themselves, and invisible electromagnetic waves swept through the air.

Everything in the living room quickly faded and disappeared.

Instead, it was the early morning of the sprawling city—

In Xu Meng's setting, the time in the Sprawling City is twice as fast as the real time.

From 6pm to 12am, it is the night of the sprawling city.

From 12 am to 6 am, it is the daytime of the sprawling city.

Then continue the cycle...

It is almost 11 o'clock now, and the night in the sprawling city is almost over.

[City Defense War] is about to end, and there are only a few monsters and beasts left alive.

Looks like the players are doing well?

No, that's not the case at all!

When Xu Meng pulled the monster over and announced the start of the [City Defense War], in the entire Sprawling City, only the central square was severely damaged.

The beasts poured into the city along eight main roads.

It looked fierce, but what was damaged were only the roads and vehicles on these eight main roads, plus the buildings on both sides.

But now...

The doors of many shops along the street were smashed open.

Completely destroyed cars were lying next to the corpses of wild animals, with smoke slowly rising from them.

The sewers were blown up and turned into pits to block wild beasts.

The cables crisscrossing between buildings caught fire, and a large number of outdoor displays and electronic signs lost power, occasionally emitting sparks.

The gas pipeline was ignited, and the violent explosion not only opened up the road, but also burned a blazing wall of fire along the pipeline.

Fire trucks, sirens blaring, rushed toward burning buildings.

As for the police car of the Public Security Bureau...

They no longer cared about the few wild beasts there were, but instead loaded their guns and furiously went around the city to capture players whose sin values ​​were seriously exceeded.

……

Simply put, this group of people did take care of the invading monsters.

But in the process of defending the city, the damage they accidentally caused was more serious than that of monsters and beasts!

"Well, that's not too surprising." Xu Meng sighed.

Xiao Meng waved her hand, and nine pictures formed a nine-square grid, helping Xu Meng recall what happened before:

Many players felt that swords and axes were too slow to kill, so they formed a team and rushed into the Sheriff's Bureau to upgrade themselves with powerful and easy-to-use thermal weapons.

Others used giant axes to chop open the doors of weapon shops and buy for free, then ran to the parking lot to change cars.

Then they drove the car, held the gun, and launched a desperate counterattack against the monsters.

Some players have discovered special NPCs with amazing combat power and the ability to communicate directly.

So they gathered around these NPCs to assist them and asked all kinds of strange questions, trying to find out if there were any hidden tasks.

……

But these are not the decisive factors.

The real key is -

More than a dozen famous player commanders in [Purgatory on Earth] jointly launched an initiative and organized a dozen large groups of hundreds of people.

These large groups no longer held their ground, but adopted tactics proven by the Flying Generals of Dragon City, rushing along secondary roads and branch roads towards the inner and outer ring roads of the city to divide and encircle the beasts!
In this way, hunting efficiency increased rapidly!

Seeing that the tactic was so effective, more players followed suit.

Similar scenes are reproduced in mirror image after mirror image.

It was only in the last ten minutes of the three hours that the progress was pushed to the final stage.

"The last 1%!" Xiao Meng started the final countdown.

"The last 48!"

“It’s over!!”

Xiao Meng raised her hands high and cheered, and grand fireworks bloomed in the night sky again.

Accompanied by the magnificent settlement music, [City Defense War] officially ended!
The points ranking list in the central square was completely frozen.

At the same time, the guns and grenades that players looted from the Law Enforcement Bureau and weapon shops disappeared one after another.

The safety of the players' own golden weapons were also locked, and they could no longer fire bullets.

The building caught fire and the flames were quickly extinguished.

Broken glass and construction waste scattered on the ground disappeared in large pieces. Messy shops, bumpy roads, sewers spewing steam, burning gas pipelines...

It was as if time had gone back and all the damaged things were quickly restored to their original state.

In just a few breaths, the city returned to its state before the monster appeared.

Players scattered in various corners of the city were teleported back to the central square.

After the players returned to the square, they felt a little lost when they saw that everything had returned to normal.

But soon, the system's prompt sound cheered them up again -

"The major event of the Sprawling City Open Day: [City Defense War] has been completed!"

“Time taken: 2 hours and 48 minutes!”

“Rating: Perfect!”

"[Sprawling Metropolis Online Commemorative Badge] is being distributed..."

“Distribution completed.”

"The advance preview of the new Dream Building game has been unlocked."

"The new hardware information of Dream Building has been unlocked."

"The game beta test qualification has been unlocked, and the IDs of the top 1000 players in terms of points have been recorded."

"Physical invitations are being distributed..."

“Distribution completed.”
-
The points ranking list disappeared from the big screen in the central square.

The official Dream Building broadcast room, various game anchors and self-media broadcast rooms, which have continued to broadcast live, have all turned their cameras to the big screen.

The trailer that players fought for 3 hours to unlock has finally been released!

The noisy central square became quiet almost instantly, without Xu Meng even having to mute herself.

Amid the anticipation of everyone, the big screen slowly lit up——

A man wearing thick armor and carrying a huge sword was walking through the dense rain forest.

As the melodious flute sound gradually became clearer, more scenes slowly switched:

The densely packed trees support the emerald green canopy that blocks out the sky.

The gurgling stream flows down from a higher place. On both sides of the stream, long aerial roots and vines hang from the tree trunks.

An unknown insect fluttered its transparent wings and flew past the hunter's eyes.

The knee-high dinosaur cubs heard the footsteps and ran away.

The hunter bent down and picked a brown plant and put it in his pocket.

Green spots of light emerged from the huge footprints and extended into the distance.

The hunter followed the trace, passed through caves, swam across rivers, pulled aside the vines that blocked the way, and entered a new world.

The roar of a giant beast sounded from above.

The camera moves up, and a flying dragon spreads its wings and flies across the narrow sky.

The screen suddenly shook.

The hunter looked away and saw a majestic beast resembling a triceratops rushing out of the woods in front of him.

Its strong body knocked down the small tree blocking the way, and its sharp horn rushed straight towards the hunter!

The melodious flute sounds changed tunes and became more and more passionate little by little.

The hunter drew his two-handed greatsword and charged forward without flinching.

Before engaging in battle, he suddenly leaped up and slashed down with his sword!
The beast's head was chopped off by the sword, and it lost its balance and fell to the ground with a bang.

The music slowly builds to a climax.

More monsters appeared one after another——

Groups of small dinosaurs chased the hunters, forcing them to flee for their lives.

The herbivorous dinosaur, huge in size and with an absurdly long neck, moved slowly forward, while the hunter crouched in the grass and stalked cautiously.

The fat dragon with a huge belly and incredibly fat used its body as a weapon, rolling over and crushing the hunter.

The monster that looked like a Tyrannosaurus Rex stepped into the trap, but in the struggle it tore off the vines, grabbed the hunter and threw him into the air.

The hunter drew out his giant sword in the air and slashed at the monster's neck!
……

Finally, a flying dragon of astonishing size, ignoring the rules of physics, flapped its thin wings and slowly rose into the air.

It looked down from above, spewing flames at the hunters below!

This flame can even ignite the earth!

Seeing this, the hunter pulled out the signal gun from his waist and shot it into the sky.

The moment the flare exploded, the camera quickly zoomed out, passing through scenes that had appeared before, and finally ended with a wide-angle shot.

An open, vast, vibrant green world appears before everyone's eyes.

The game title that players have been waiting for for a long time has finally come out——

【monster hunter】
