For the players, the game had become very interesting recently.
Although Fangzheng didn't directly sweep the entire game world, the intelligent AI that he left behind quickly changed the AI systems of the NPCs. Now, even if Fangzheng didn't directly control the game, the AI NPCs would automatically issue quests to the players.
For the players, after the "Pale Blue Fleet Incident" (as the players called it), the entire game world itself had undergone earth-shattering changes. Now, there were more and more players joining World of Warcraft, and the whole world became more and more lively. Especially the "real time" development method, which was different from before, made the players never tired of it.
The so-called "real time" events were also invented by the players. After Fangzheng took control of the world, he made certain changes to the world itself to conform to the game and reality. For example, in a group dungeon, you were required to defeat Illidan. When a certain group achieved Illidan's First Blood, the entire Outland forces would immediately begin to change. In the past, the forces or organizations that were threatened by Illidan would immediately get rid of the threat. This way, the players in the future would definitely not accept the same quest to resist Illidan. After all, Illidan was locked up, and they couldn't fight against the air.
Of course, this did not mean that the players who came later had nothing to do. They could also receive other quests from other NPCs, such as destroying the remnants of Illidan's forces, or helping the tribes that had suffered heavy losses in the battle against Illidan to recover their strength, and so on. As for the dungeon itself, it would appear in a "Memory Mirror" mode. In other words, the players in the future could enter the "Memory Mirror" to relive the entire dungeon and then replace themselves to fight the Boss and collect the equipment.
However, the "Memory Mirror" later on was just a simple dungeon, and it wouldn't give the players any sense of accomplishment of changing the world.
In addition, the power and strength of the entire game had greatly increased and changed. In the past, when the players played the game, they could directly form a group of people to kill their way into Orgrimmar or Stormwind. It felt like two hundred city enforcement officers were trampling over the world. But now, it was no longer possible. Forget about Orgrimmar, even if you had the ability to kill someone at the crossroads, the Horde patrols would kill you within a minute.
There was once a guild that was bored and formed two teams to attack Stormwind City. They wanted to see what effect it would have on the game if they could kill the Alliance's boss. But before they could enter the city, they saw more than a thousand enemy soldiers standing outside in an aggressive formation.
What else could he do? He ran away.
As the game map grew larger, the reactions of the various characters became more and more intelligent. This allowed many players to fully immerse themselves in the game. It felt as if they had arrived in a second world.
It was just that … there was still a flaw in it.
That was the departure of the Blue Fleet.
After Fangzheng returned to the love world, the Pale Blue Fleet left the spiritual world, which was a little depressing for the players. Although many of them had obtained a lot of good things from the Pale Blue Fleet's camp, it was still a little disappointing for them to see such a hasty end.
But it was also because of this that the Dark Blue Fleet's Faction Reputation Points became "rare". After all, the Dark Blue Fleet did not send any more NPCs after that incident, which made the other players who could not join the Faction Reputation Points very depressed. But the players in the Dark Blue Fleet's Faction Reputation Points were also very depressed. After all, they had nowhere to accept missions or exchange for items!
Hiding a bomb in his crotch was also one of them.
"Sigh …"
After returning to Stormwind City and looking at the bustling crowd, Hiding a bomb in his crotch could not help but sigh. Today, he went to play a dungeon with the players of his guild, but halfway through the dungeon, a newcomer demanded a piece of equipment for enchantment. The mage in the team was so angry that he quarreled with him on the spot. As the team leader, Hiding a bomb also tried to calm the matter down, but instead, he was scolded by the newcomer. The newcomer said that he was only lucky to join the Dark Blue Fleet camp, so why did he have to show off his gun all day long? Now that the Dark Blue Fleet camp was gone, why did he have to show off his gun?
Hiding a bomb in his crotch was so angry that he directly disbanded the team. They did not continue the dungeon anymore. Everyone just washed up and went home to sleep.
Now, Hiding a bomb in his crotch was also depressed. It was really too difficult to farm reputation in the Dark Blue Fleet. Even a hardworking player like Hiding a bomb in his crotch could only raise his reputation in the Dark Blue Fleet camp to 'Friendly'. He was still far from 'Respect', let alone 'Reverence'.
In fact, there was also a rumor among the players that only players who had at least a 'Respected' level could officially join the Dark Blue Fleet. It was not without reason. Thinking back to the metal warships that spanned across the sky, no player felt that they could still bow down to them.
What a pity …
With that in mind, Hidden Grenade turned left into the Mage District and arrived at his doorstep. After the game update, Stormwind City was much bigger than before. It was closer to the scale of a city in the real world, and not the size of a small town like before. Some players who had money and faction reputation could also buy their own houses. Hiding a bomb in Crotch was lucky, so he bought a house in the mage area and hired a human maid. Every day, after clearing a dungeon and completing a mission, he would come back to take a look. He felt much better.
Although I can only rent a small house of 20 square meters in real life, I'm a winner in life with a garden, a villa, and a maid!
Although it's only 20 square meters in real life …
"Ding dong."
Just as Hiding a bomb was about to enter his garden, he received a notification. Then, he saw the envelope on his interface flash. He opened the message curiously and took out the letter.
"Well, Mr. Hiding a bomb in Crotch, congratulations on passing our assessment. We are honoured to invite you to join the Dark Blue Fleet Expeditionary Force. The location is the portal at the dock of the Dark Moon Circus. Please … Holy sh * t!"
After reading the contents of the letter, Hiding a bomb in Crotch jumped up. He had been looking forward to the return of the Dark Blue Fleet! Although he did not know what kind of Expeditionary Force it was, he was sure that it must be a super large dungeon. It might even be the same as the Outland!
Thinking of this, Hiding a bomb in Crotch immediately summoned his mount and rushed towards the Dark Moon Circus.
At the same time, Hiding a bomb in Crotch saw mounts flying into the sky from all directions in Stormwind City. Obviously, they were all heading in the same direction. It seemed that there were quite a number of fleet alliance players!
Hiding a bomb in Crotch was fast, but the other players were not slow either. The speed of everyone's mounts was about the same, so there was not much difference between them. It did not take long for hundreds of players to arrive at the dock of the Dark Moon Circus. Of course, there was nothing there yet, but even so, the fact that these players had gathered together was exciting enough.
"Did you get the notification?"
"Me too! They said they were going to take an assessment. Why don't I remember passing any assessment? "
"Don't talk about that. If they say you passed, then you passed. This is the decree. We're old ministers who followed the Dark Blue Fleet to conquer the world in this world, so of course they'll make things easier for us."
"By the way, what do you think this quest is? Is it an Expeditionary Force like the Outland? But Azeroth wasn't attacked. Are we going to be used as cannon fodder to invade other worlds? "
"I don't think so. The Dark Blue Fleet doesn't look like that kind of force …"
While the players were discussing among themselves, there was a sudden flash of light at the dock. Then, two petite figures appeared and landed on the ground. The players were in an uproar when they saw the two voices.
"Ohhhhh, Illya!!"
"Blackie, Blackie, my wife!!"
Of course, the ones who appeared in front of the players were not the real Illya and Blackie, but two NPCs that Fangzheng had recreated. Illya and Blackie were in charge of remote control. They were chosen because the players would feel closer to familiar characters, and that was indeed the case.
"Hi, everyone. Long time no see."
Looking at the players before him, Blackie chuckled and waved his hand, eliciting another round of cheers. Ilya smiled embarrassedly, before turning around to retrieve a machine. A metallic radiance flashed, and at the next moment, a huge, revolving door opened.
"Okay, everyone, please line up and enter according to the order. Also, please let us check your mail ~"
After the update, World of Warcraft had added a collision volume setting, so the players couldn't stack on top of each other like before. After hearing the news, the players hurriedly lined up, passed Little Blackie's and Ilya's inspection, and entered the teleportation portal.
Hidden Thunder was also excited. After going through Illya's inspection, he took a deep breath and stepped into the portal. The next moment, Hidden Thunder felt the world spinning before his eyes. In the blink of an eye, a magnificent hall filled with sci-fi colors appeared before his eyes.
"What the f * ck …!"
When Cang Lei saw the 100-meter-tall dome, the circular elevators, and all sorts of high-tech gadgets, he felt his legs tremble. Setting everything else aside, just standing here and looking at the majestic hall before him gave off an indescribable aura. Many players immediately fell to their knees in awe.
Just as Cang Lei was finding it difficult to breathe, a clear and calm voice suddenly rang out.
"Everyone, please gather here. Once everyone is here, we'll depart immediately. Misaka is giving this order very seriously."
Upon hearing this voice, Hidden Thunder and the other players turned around and saw an 'NPC' wearing a black uniform and goggles standing not far from them. The name 'Misaka 10032' was written above her head. What a strange name.
Under Misaka 10032's lead, the first batch of players who were teleported arrived at the plaza below. The players gradually recovered from their shock and began discussing excitedly among themselves. Some of them even took screenshots and posted them in the forum. Hidden Thunder took the opportunity to open the GNA forum. He wanted to see what was going on.
As expected, just as Hidden Thunder had expected, the return of the Pale Blue Fleet immediately caused an uproar in the forum. Many players posted their posts with all kinds of strange content. Some speculated whether the Pale Blue Fleet was the main content of this version update, while others posted screenshots of themselves entering the Pale Blue Fleet.
Not only that, but what surprised Hidden Thunder was that among the players who were bragging, some of them said that although they used to be in the Pale Blue Fleet's camp, they were not invited and were denied entry. On the contrary, many of the new players went outside to look for Ilya and Xiao Hei with the attitude of giving it a try, and they were allowed to enter. This made them very unhappy. They did not understand what was going on.
It would be understandable if there were only one or two players, but it was not normal for there to be so many of them. In fact, the players who came in later also said that some of them were arguing with Xiao Hei because they were not qualified to enter the portal. Some even tried to kill two NPCs to enter, but they were all sent back to the graveyard by Xiao Hei.
This surprised Hidden Thunder. It turned out that the letter wasn't just for show. I really passed the test!
But when did I accept the test quest?
Why don't I have any impression of it?
Of course, Hidden Thunder had no impression of it. In fact, this was Fangzheng's idea.
As a game planner, Fangzheng was well aware of the existence of malignant tumors among the players. He wanted the players to help him, not to make trouble for him. Therefore, before inviting the players to enter the 'new world dungeon', Fangzheng organized the data of World of Warcraft and filtered out the players who killed alt accounts, looted and robbed, massacred cities, and others who played the game as if it were GTA. I don't care what you do in the game, but I won't let you cause trouble in the real world!
As for the players who were invited, on one hand, they were from the Pale Blue Fleet's faction, and on the other hand, they had a good record in the game and did not do anything too extreme, so they were invited.
Even so, Fangzheng did not intend to quantify the 'good and evil value' and put it on the interface. After all, once it was quantified, the players' actions would follow the quantified good and evil value. Sometimes, he might not like doing this, but considering the influence of the 'good and evil value', the players might do it. This was not his true intention. Therefore, Fangzheng decided to rely on the players to restrain themselves. At least, it was more reliable to do things from their hearts than to rely on the numbers.
Of course, Fangzheng did not just bring the players here. They first needed to go through a series of lectures and skill training to familiarize themselves with the characteristics and story background of the 'new version', as well as their quests and goals.
As for the rest … .everything was ready except for the east wind.
While the players were rubbing their palms and preparing to start their new journey, on Fangzheng's side …. encountered a problem that was neither too big nor too small.
