Night World Players

Chapter 198 Your friend "Doesn't Eat Cilantro" has gone offline, "Doesn't Eat Beef" has come online (Two-in-One)

[Someone is anxious.]

[What a pity, brother! If only your rank, which is actually worth real money, could be as stubborn as your words.]

After Dean Yin directly sent the link to the live broadcast room, the other party's replies followed one after another.

After all, these days, everyone who surfs the Internet and competes online is pursuing a win.

Seeing that he was about to win the online quarrel, the ID "小刁软糖" still looked stubborn and was naturally unwilling to give up easily.

"I have nothing to do while I wait for the event to end, so I want to see what your so-called 'immediate first place' is all about."

[I hope you can maintain this confident demeanor even when being chased by the Iron Cross in front of tens of thousands of people in my livestream.]

It wasn't just the anchor who was having a passionate confrontation with Dean Yin. The fight between the man and Diao on the game forum also quickly attracted a large number of onlookers in a short period of time.

There is no way. After all, from ancient times to the present, people’s favorite thing to do is to eat melons and watch shows.

Dean Yin's words are really like those cloud players on the Internet who are at a high level and have broken defense, the classic big talkers and C language masters.

His rank is nothing to brag about, but he is tougher than anyone else.

And Dean Yin’s words, “The reason I’m not first is because I don’t want to play. As long as I want to play, I can reach the top in minutes,” are simply classic quotes from cloud players.

The famous quote it revealed was directly made into an emoticon package and spread on forums and various player group chats.

So all of a sudden, netizens from all over the mainland entered the live broadcast room opened by President Yin and joined the crowd of people who were watching the show.

Under normal circumstances, there wouldn't be so many people who would be so idle as to watch the live broadcast room of a guy who is obviously a tough talker.

Naihe, the timing for Dean Yin to open the live broadcast room this time was just right. The several-month-long Deep Blue Harbor limited-time challenge event was about to end, and the less than one day left was not enough to complete a complete challenge.

Except for a very small number of dead-line warriors who started to participate in the event on the last day before the end of the game event, the players who were supposed to rush to the top of the list have already done so, and those who were supposed to participate in the event have already graduated. Many players have already entered the inactive period early.

During this long period when everyone is busy with their health, suddenly such a big news appears. Naturally, everyone has to go over to see what it is.

So all of a sudden, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room opened by Dean Yin suddenly increased from 0 at the beginning to tens of thousands in less than half an hour, and it is still growing.

When the spectators clicked into the live broadcast room with the intention of having fun, they immediately started to complain.

[Oh my god, this person's ID is actually called "Little Mink Soft Candy". I'm laughing so hard.]

[This kind of ID is probably only chosen by a noob female player. I encountered someone named "Don't Eat Coriander" during my last ranked match, and it nearly brought me to tears.]

[The person above, being matched with such a player in the ranking, shouldn't you reflect on your own problems? ]

[Frankly speaking, you guys really don't understand. Haven't you ever encountered someone with this ID in the middle of the night, uttering nothing but devastating silence? Your friend "Don't Eat Coriander" has gone offline, and "Don't Eat Beef" has come online.]

[But regardless of whether this account is "Little Marten Soft Candy" or "Big Marten Hard Candy," even if the owner of the account really hired a proxy, I don't believe he could have reached the top of the Deep Blue Harbor Speedrun Challenge leaderboard in less than the last day.]

This limited-time event is different from previous ones. The top-place winner will be invited to the Mechanical Research Institute to participate in the "Artificial Angel Program." I wonder how many professional players and technical streamers of "Shore Keeper's Poem" have toiled for months to reach their current leaderboard rankings. Planning a complete playthrough in just one day is impossible, so how could they possibly achieve first place?

[Brother above, why are you giving this analysis so seriously? Aren't we all just clicking here for fun? Do you really think this tough-talking guy can make it to the top of the leaderboard?]

I've even checked the game history of the ID "Xiaodiao Gumtang." It's a new account, created just two hours ago. This person is a pure casual player. After being exposed for arguing with someone online, they insisted on being stubborn, which is why they created this account and livestream.

[By the way, haven't you noticed? It seems "Little Mink Gummy" encountered a Cult Dungeon start this time, which is generally recognized as one of the most difficult initial starts in this Deep Blue Harbor event.]

Those professional players and technical streamers who are trying to reach the top of the leaderboards will directly remake the Cult Dungeon. The opening has too many restrictions and it is impossible to reach a high ranking.

There was a lot of noise in the comments section of the live broadcast room.

Most of the comments were madly complaining about the ID "小刁软糖" and the classic meme that Dean Yin had just revealed during the quarrel on the forum.

However, among so many viewers, there were some players who were more concerned about the game content. They quickly determined the initial identity randomly assigned to the anchor through the dark and damp dungeon environment in the live broadcast room.

The limited-time challenge event of "Poem of the Shore Watcher" has been open for three months and is now nearing its end.

Players have been working hard on this event for three months and have already explored the challenge of "Returning to Deep Blue Harbor" to a considerable extent. Various activity strategies and techniques have also been summarized by players through repeated attempts and experience exchanges on the forum.

Although the nominal goal is to allow players to return to Deep Blue Harbor on the eve of the Iron Cross Plague outbreak and experience everything that the shore guardian hero Last experienced - in fact, for the sake of gameplay, the players' initial starting identities in Deep Blue Harbor are restricted.

There are dozens of starting identities in total. Every time a player tries to challenge this event, he will be randomly selected from these dozens of initial starts.

The best initial identities generally recognized by players are "coachman" and "down-and-out nobleman", which allow them to have extremely high freedom and a certain amount of initial resources at the beginning.

For example, the Coachman's physical attributes are higher than other starting points, and he also comes with the "Riding" and "Equestrianism" skills. After the outbreak of the Iron Cross Plague, he has the "Riding" and "Equestrianism" skills. As long as he can get a horse, he can gain a great advantage in mobility.

As for the initial "Down-and-Out Noble", although the player's attribute panel is lower than the average of other initial identities, this initial identity allows the player to obtain a revolver at the beginning, which is a qualitative leap in combat power compared to other identities.

In addition, the identity of a noble can give players a greater voice when negotiating with other characters in Deep Blue Harbor.

Compared to these two generally recognized good initial identities, "Cult Dungeon" is undoubtedly one of the most difficult starts recognized by players.

Players' freedom will be restricted at the beginning of the game. Many items that were easily obtained before the outbreak of the Iron Cross Plague are no longer available. Moreover, because they are close to the pollutants of the evil god worshipped by the cult, they are constantly suffering from pollution. Many players are forced to log out by the protection mechanism of the game headband after a few hours because their mental state reaches a critical point.

Of course, for the sake of game balance, the start of "Cult Dungeon Prisoner" will naturally give various corrections. For example, under this start, you only need to survive for four hours to get a higher score than surviving for ten hours under other starts.

However, even the professional players and technical anchors of "Poem of the Shore Keeper" are afraid to avoid the start, so the players naturally refuse to take any action. If they really encounter it, they would rather quit directly and wait for a day of cooling down than suffer.

But at this moment, it is obviously impossible for "Little Mink Soft Candy" to choose to remake. After all, if he forced to quit, the event would be over by the time the one-day cooling-off period is over.

In fact, from the main perspective of the live stream, Rust did not choose to remake. He simply stood up quietly from the dungeon and looked towards the dungeon entrance, where a cultist, completely shrouded in a black robe, was scanning the prisoners inside by the light of the fire.

"Aize."

His voice was very calm as he mentioned a person's name, leaving the comments in the live broadcast room a little confused for a moment.

But soon, at the exit of the dungeon, the cultist responded.

He walked into the dungeon, torch in hand, and stared at Luster in the cage through the rusty iron bars. His hoarse and indifferent words were tinged with confusion: "Why do you know my name?"

[Is Aize the name of the cultist guarding the dungeon?]

Wait, isn't this Little Mink a completely new account? Shouldn't he be a completely newbie? How does he know the real name of the cultist guarding the dungeon?

[I hired a power leveler. Although the iris verification in "Poem of the Shore Keeper" is very strict, with today's advanced technology, there may be ways to bypass it. Wasn't there a streamer who got caught cheating when the server first launched? Before he was caught, he insisted that he didn't see it clearly because the backpack and magazine were connected.]

[As for this cultist's name... the cult controls the contaminants of the evil god behind the Iron Cross Plague, making them a mid-level boss.]

[I remember that a big guy had compiled the identities of these cult members before, and it's not surprising that the name of this dungeon guard was included.]

In the live broadcast room, the barrage of comments began to flood the screen crazily.

However, even those who later explained the situation were starting to feel a little insecure.

After all, who among the normal players would remember the name of an inconspicuous hostile NPC in this game?

This little mink candy seems to be well prepared.

"Of course I know your name."

Luster stared at the bewildered cultist outside the steel cage, his voice calm. "Not only that, I also know you were born in the slums and have been wandering the streets since you were a child."

"When you were nine years old, a pharmacist in West City took you in and let you stay in the pharmacy as an apprentice."

"That pharmacist came from a small village called Aize in a neighboring province and settled here. Since he had no wife or children... he took care of you as if you were his own child."

"Two years ago, that pharmacist passed away due to illness. In order to commemorate this benefactor who was like a father to you, you changed your name to Aize—"

"In fact, you joined here because you heard that the statue of the Lord has the miraculous power of bringing back the dead... and you want to see if you can use the statue's magical power to resurrect the pharmacist, your benefactor."

"you……"

The pupils of the cultist in black robes trembled.

It is not surprising that the other party knows his own name. Perhaps this person, who has already been chosen as a sacrifice in the near future, has heard other companions calling his name at some point.

However, the other party actually told the origin of his name, including his past with the pharmacist whom he regarded as his benefactor...

These things are the biggest secrets in Aize's heart. Not to mention his companions from other holy religions, even the leader himself has never confided them to him.

How could he, a person chosen by the Holy Church to be used as a sacrificial offering, know all these things?

[The person above, are you sure this information is also in that big guy's strategy summary post? ]

[That brings me back to the topic...]

[Don't listen to his nonsense, this little mink candy must be really something]

I've seen other pro players and streamers attempt the "Cult Dungeon" opening. They all wait for the chaotic third hour, when they're delivering food to the prisoners, to break out by force. While they're inevitably eventually slain by the armed cultists, as long as they manage to kill a few more cultists during their breakout, their overall score won't be too low.

[Watch as he uses this exclusive information he's gathered to attract the cult's guards' attention. He's likely trying to trick them into opening the cell door before attacking.]

[Although the Cult Dungeon is quite difficult at the start, the score bonus is also high. Don't tell me, even though first place is a stretch, this little mink candy really has a chance of getting a high score.]

Barrages of comments scrolled rapidly in the live broadcast room.

Dean Yin squatted beside the computer desk, glanced at the live broadcast room with a smug look, and then glanced at Last.

Trick the cult guards into opening the cell door, then directly snatch the gun and shoot all the way... This is indeed a good way to pass the level. With Last's familiarity with the entire cult and combat skills, it should not be a problem.

but--

Dean Yin popped a bag of potato chips with his little paws and began to chew them with relish.

Based on his understanding of Last, Dean Yin always felt that this guy would not act so conventionally.

"How do you know..."

The cultist named Aize suddenly raised his voice a few notches, but soon interrupted himself, obviously worried that his companions would hear him.

He opened the cell door and lowered his voice: "Who are you and why do you know all this?"

[Is Little Mink Gummy finally going to take action, right now, right here?]

However, under the watchful eyes of the barrage, Last never took direct action as they expected.

"You already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"

Rast stared at the cultist who was so close to him, his voice still silent:
"Apart from the Supreme Lord, who else could know the secrets in your heart that you have never told anyone?"
