Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 398 The Full-Map Cheat Provided by the Big Boss

Time is the most ruthless thing.

It will not stop according to people's wishes; it will only keep moving forward.

The night passed quickly.

With only half an hour left until the public beta launch.

The atmosphere around the world has become very subtle.

Wu Wang saw the increasing number of patrol personnel on the street and knew that the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs was carrying out its final prevention and control measures.

Not long after learning the truth yesterday.

He noticed that the number of ordinary patrol personnel roaming around the capital was increasing.

Furthermore, some members of the Extraordinary Affairs Bureau, dressed in special red and black uniforms, would occasionally appear in even more secluded places.

They secretly observed the city in a manner far more covert than ordinary patrol personnel.

Clearly, they are all players of the Necropolis.

Wu Wang also sought confirmation from the Xie Zhi.

This is a necessary check required by Qinglong.

In case someone in reality is still affected by the "chaos" and undergoes some kind of mutation.

After all, the only place where the sky is shattered is above the capital city.

This is also the location most easily affected.

Of course, these patrolmen had no effect on Wu Wang.

Even if he's now openly standing at the villa entrance with props in hand.

No one will come forward to cause trouble or ask questions.

This is Yan Shuangying's address, which has already been circulating among the players of Lingzai.

As for yesterday's intelligence exchange...

The know-it-all also told Wu Wang a seemingly ordinary, yet somewhat subtle, piece of information—

The Tower Master of the Tower of Order has not appeared in anyone's sight since 51 days ago, the day the closed beta ended.

Wu Wang felt that this point in time was somewhat subtle.

The main reason is that that day was also the day I became a Spirit Disaster player, and also the day I was targeted by the Abyss God.

I don't know if there's any connection between the two.

Wu Wang couldn't think of anything at least for now.

He felt it was mostly just a coincidence.

After all, he didn't know that tower master.

Qinglong didn't mention that the other party knew of his existence that day. Even the witch, the president of the Tarot Society, didn't know about "Immortality." Logically, the Tower Master shouldn't know either.

"Second sister, what do you think... these colors and numbers represent?"

Wu Wang was more concerned about another issue at this moment.

He was actually walking around with props.

What he held in his hand was the parchment that [Lord of Desire] had given him earlier.

But it's different from the initial blank content.

Now a complex map appears above.

This was after Wu Wang returned from the Bureau of Strange Affairs yesterday.

They found it when Qinglong and the others were bored during their negotiations with [Chaos].

He also compared it with road maps of the capital.

The two are almost identical.

The only difference is that on this parchment map, there is a small, dark yellow dot, resembling some kind of special amber, and faintly visible are large Roman numerals—

【Ⅳ】

And the location is right here at the villa where Wu Wang is.

He explored every corner of the villa thoroughly.

Yet they still didn't notice anything unusual.

So what do these colors and numbers actually mean?
"You do the thinking stuff yourself. I'm going out to buy potato chips. Do you want me to get you some? What flavor do you want?" Wu Xiaoyou said after finishing the last bag of potato chips in the cupboard. "Be careful, you won't be able to buy potato chips after the [public beta]."

Xiao Xiao was so nervous that she wondered if the two siblings even knew what nervousness was.

Wu Wang, who was busy, didn't have time to eat potato chips.

She shook her head and told her second sister to go buy it herself.

He needs to continue his research.

After all, there must be something special about what the big boss gives you.

However, just as Wu Wang lowered his head to look at the parchment again...

To everyone's surprise, the small, dark yellow number dots had moved!

And they are leaving the villa at a slow pace!

He instinctively looked in the direction of the movement.

As far as the eye could see, there was only a beautiful figure humming an unknown tune as she walked outside.

Wu Xiaoyou's habit of singing randomly was also influenced by Wu Wang.

"Wait! Don't go!"

Wu Wang rushed forward, even using the [Seven Stars Step] to close the distance.

He stood in front of Wu Xiaoyou, who looked completely bewildered, and looked her up and down.

He paused again, staring at the numbers on the parchment.

He was certain—

This thing shows the location of the second sister!?

"Why would the item given by [Lord of Desire] be marked with my second sister?" Wu Wang pondered. "No, if it was my second sister, she was with me when it was first taken out, and there was nothing displayed on it at that time."

So what's the difference between now and when we first observed the parchment, regarding my second sister...?

After that, she consumed the [Fragment of the Past] and opened the Blood Gate!
Wu Wang quickly asked, "Can you still summon the Blood Gate now?"

Hearing this request, Wu Xiaoyou didn't understand what her younger brother wanted to do, but she still hesitated and nodded, saying, "It's possible, but the door is sealed and can't be opened."

After saying that, she raised her hand and snapped her fingers towards the open space in front of the villa.

The next second, the three blood-red doors, which exuded an ominous aura, reappeared.

However, each of the blood doors was bound with heavy chains and could not be opened.

"Put the door further away." Wu Wang's eyes were fixed on the parchment.

Wu Xiaoyou threw the blood-red door onto the lawn of the villa across the street, puzzled.

There's no need to worry about the neighbor accidentally walking in when they open the door.

After all, this place had been attacked by a group of high-level Necromancer players last time.

The neighbors next door have all moved away.

Nobody wants their house to suddenly explode while they're living there.

On the other hand, at the moment Blood Gate was thrown out,

Wu Wang immediately noticed that the small, dark yellow number had moved.

It wasn't marked as being for the second sister!
It was the blood gate she created!
Wu Wang only thought for a few seconds.

He muttered to himself, "Could this thing possibly mark the location of the passage in the real world that leads to the dungeon world?"

This idea startled even himself.

It might not sound very impressive at first glance, and it might seem like just a map.

But if we consider the upcoming public beta testing mechanism—

A one-way portal to the instance world will be opened at random locations and at any time worldwide.

Furthermore, the one-way passage will continuously expand outwards until a sufficient number of people enter and pass through.

From this perspective.

If we can accurately pinpoint the location of each channel.

Doesn't that mean we can prevent, to the greatest extent possible, those highly difficult yet deeply hidden dungeons?

This also avoids the disadvantage of them failing three times quickly when people accidentally enter, and then becoming a two-way channel facing the reality of dungeon invasion.
Because if we know the exact location of each channel.

Organizations can then adjust player teams to carry out strategies, preventing ordinary people from randomly entering and dying.

"Wait a minute, if it's just marking locations, it doesn't seem like we need to use special colors and numbers, right?"

Wu Wang's thoughts continued to wander.

Beyond the Blood Gate lies the underworld of numerous dungeon worlds, if we simply calculate based on dungeon difficulty.

That would be at least a nightmare-level dungeon.

The dungeon difficulty is divided into four levels: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Nightmare. Does this mean the Roman numeral [Ⅳ] indicates that this passage is Nightmare difficulty?
Holy crap! If that's true, this parchment is absolutely priceless!
It allows a large number of ordinary people to enter the [Simplified] instance.

While creating a large number of players for the Spirit Disaster event, players can also take on [Medium] and [Hard] dungeons in sequence according to their strength.

As for the final [Nightmare] dungeon...

Then you can form a strategy team to try it out, just like you thought of earlier.

In this way, humanity will not only reduce casualties significantly, but will also be able to rapidly increase its strength to fight against those instances that invade reality.

Wu Wang looked at his friends in the chat box.

Especially for players with special abilities like Azure Dragon and Xie Zhi.

Obviously, it would be better to tell them about the parchment.

But... Wu Wang was still very curious about the special color and wanted to figure it out first.

Furthermore, since Blood Gate is always with Second Sister, it means that she herself is a mobile marker.

I can't let outsiders know her whereabouts all the time; it's too dangerous.

It's not that I don't trust the Azure Dragon and the Xie Zhi.

Wu Wang was just worried that the contents of the parchment might be accidentally leaked.

After all, Azure Dragon is currently overwhelmed with the task of protecting [Chaos].

"Never mind, this is just my speculation after all."

"The actual situation regarding the parchment will only be confirmed after the public beta test officially begins."

He decided to wait and see how things unfolded.

Tell my second sister to close the blood-stained door and go out to buy potato chips.

Wu Wang then sat on the lawn in front of the villa.

Clutching the parchment, they awaited the arrival of the [public beta].

Because half an hour is simply too short.

That's not enough for him to do anything more.
It was so short that many ordinary people weren't even truly psychologically prepared.

The midday sun rises to its highest point.

镗——

A deep, resonant bell rang out from the top floor of the Bureau of Extraordinary Events headquarters, as if it came from the long river of history, making people's hearts tremble upon hearing it.

The entire capital city heard this special warning.

The bells were also rung simultaneously at all branches of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs across the country.

Time is up!
Public beta is here!
Almost the instant the bell rang, various dungeon passages appeared out of thin air.

However, what is even more frightening is—

These dungeon passages cannot be directly perceived by the naked eye; they appear only slightly distorted, like looking through flames at the scenery behind them.

When a person approaches a slightly distorted area, they will disappear into thin air and be pulled into the corresponding copy.

At this moment, the global population is disappearing at an unbelievable rate.

However, many lucky players of the Calamity were not directly enveloped by the dungeon passage that appeared, but instead witnessed other people in their field of vision disappearing on the spot.

But they discovered something else unbelievable—

"They haven't come back? None of the people who went in have returned!?"

It's understandable if no one has cleared the "Hard" or "Nightmare" dungeons yet.

Are there any [Easy] or [Medium] difficulty levels among these dungeon passages?
Moreover, those who were caught in the scourge included not only ordinary people, but also other players, including many high-level players.

Does this mean there isn't a single player in the world who has cleared even one dungeon in the entire Netherworld?

You know, in the past, if you entered a dungeon and came out alive, only a moment would pass in real life!

This has led many to speculate on other possibilities.

Before they could even verify these speculations...

The Bureau of Extraordinary Events issues a new announcement to the world—

[After extensive evaluation and assessment by the Bureau of Extraordinary Events, a new mechanism for public testing has been discovered—]

[Instance time will now be synchronized with real time!]

This announcement also made people all over the world realize why they hadn't seen their companions or others return.

Because they are currently experiencing a dungeon!
"Even the time is synchronized. It seems that it has become more difficult to determine whether a dungeon has been successfully completed."

This includes the department within the Bureau of Extraordinary Events that studies spiritual disasters.

Many people in various organizations are finding this very troublesome.

Based on past experience, if someone enters a dungeon and doesn't immediately leave, it means the dungeon has failed.

The next batch of players can immediately enter to tackle this dungeon.

However, now that the copy is synchronized with real time.

How can outsiders determine whether the instance was successful or not?
After all, the time required for each dungeon's missions is different!

"Don't be too pessimistic. In a sense, time synchronization is actually a good thing for humanity."

Someone in the research department of the Bureau of Extraordinary Events proposed this idea—

"Because this will also slow down the rate at which a copy fails."

"Otherwise, if it's a nightmare-level dungeon, three consecutive moments can lead to three failures, and then the next second we'll be facing an invasion of nightmare-level dungeons, and not just one, but nightmare-level dungeons all over the world."

"That is true despair."

This view has gained wider acceptance.

Indeed, while time synchronization makes it more difficult to determine whether a problem has failed, it also slows down the speed of copy intrusion.

It allows people in the real world to breathe.

Under normal circumstances, even a nightmare-level dungeon wouldn't wipe out the entire player group the moment they entered.

In other words, people still have some time to prepare for the first failure of the dungeon.

Furthermore, during this process, many ordinary people will also become players of the Calamity through other [Easy] or [Medium] dungeons.

As time goes on, the number of players in the Calamity will continue to increase.

Until there are no ordinary people left in the entire real world!

As stated in the previous public beta announcement, the name of this so-called Calamity S1 season is—

[Supreme Evolution]!
Humanity is being driven to evolve by the Spirit Disaster game!
Meanwhile, in the real world, players who hadn't yet been trapped in the dungeon were also eager to try their luck.

They searched for nearby dungeon entrances and prepared to enter.

Don't forget, during the open beta, the rewards for clearing dungeons will be increased by 100% for players who participated in the closed beta!

And from then on, there were no more forced dungeons. If you wanted to become stronger so that you wouldn't be trampled on by others, or if you wanted to survive any dungeon invasions that might occur later, you would be out of luck.

They had no choice!
The only solution is to conquer the dungeons!

However, among these closed beta testers, there was an outlier who wasn't in a hurry to enter the dungeon.

That was Wu Wang, holding a parchment and taking a deep breath.

He discovered that this thing was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

At the moment the public beta test began.

The marks on the parchment transformed from city road maps into world maps in the blink of an eye.

It can also zoom in and out at will, just like a mobile phone map, to accurately locate the dungeon passage in each region.

In other words, it is oneself holding this parchment—

It has access to dungeon portals all over the world!

Furthermore, Wu Wang also figured out the meaning behind the special colors!

Because in addition to small dots of special color, a large number of duplicate channels that are only marked with numbers have also appeared.

The latter should be a regular dungeon, just with a different level of difficulty.

The dungeon passages with special colors represent—

This instance contains some kind of law of the Venerable One! It is very likely the world corresponding to that Venerable One!

Wu Wang zoomed in on the map again to cover the capital city area.

When you see a very rare, special color copy, there happens to be a small pink leaf-shaped dot.

A smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Because the same color and marks were also present on the "Divine Feast" on his back.

That is the mark of supreme bliss!

I've found the dungeon I want to go to!
The chance to revive the eldest sister is just around the corner!
Now we really have to praise [desire]!

"Thanks, big boss, for sending the full perspective view!"

"Of course, thank you, but I would rather die than go into your world of desires. You can put your mind at ease!"

"After all, I'm inherently rebellious..."
