The opening cinematic ended inexplicably. There was not even half a word of warning.
Feng Bujue immediately regained the ability to move, and the first thing he did was naturally to observe the situation around him.
At this time, the other three players had appeared on both sides of Feng Bujue (one on the left, two on the right, the four of them facing the same direction, standing in a row). The three of them were all men, and they were all in their twenties.
The distance between the four players was almost the same, and no one was close to each other. It looked like the four of them had all queued in.
About ten meters in front of them was the building in the cinematic earlier.
"Main quest has been triggered." The system notification came without warning.
In the absence of a plot introduction, the quest was refreshed immediately.
Feng Bujue opened the menu and saw the quest tab. "All surviving players enter the Detective Club."
"Ha! I didn't expect to meet a superstar player just by queuing up, "the player standing on the left of the four suddenly said.
Feng Bujue heard that and looked over …
The person who spoke had the ID of Autumn Wind, Level 28, and the title of Both Intelligence and Courage. He was about 1.7 meters tall, and he was on the thin side. He had short black hair, and he could be considered handsome. He was wearing a dark outfit, and the badge on his chest showed that his guild was called Mountain River.
After Autumn Wind said that, the player on the right side of Feng Bujue immediately said, "Haha … What superstar player? It's just a title. On the other hand, the 'Autumn Wind Rue' of 'Shanhe' is very well-known. "
Feng Bujue looked at this person again.
This person's ID was Hong Hu (two words were enough to explain a lot), Level 29, and the title of Strategist. He was slightly taller than Autumn Wind, and he was also on the thin side. He had silver-white hair, and he wore a pair of glasses (clothing). He looked gentle. He was wearing a white magical outfit, and he looked like a medieval mage. There was no badge on his outfit, which meant that he was a solo player without a guild.
Hong Hu had just finished when the person on the right said, "Brother Hong Hu, you're too humble … Who in the professional circle doesn't know the title of Strategist Hong Hu?"
Feng Bujue turned to look at that person.
This time, the person who spoke was called Weighty Words, Level 28, and the title of Steady Strategist. He was half a head taller than Brother Jue, and he was slightly more stocky than the other two. He had a crew cut, and he was the kind of person who would not be found in a crowd. In terms of attire, he was wearing a dark blue military uniform. It was probably the uniform of his guild, and his guild badge had the words "Heaven and Earth" written on it.
"Hehe … When I said 'star player,' I wasn't just referring to Hong Hu." Autumn Wind continued, "I've also heard of Brother Strategist's name."
"Hmph …" The three of them smiled knowingly. The pleasure of flattering each other was indescribable.
This was the kind of feeling that those who came out to play wanted!
Feng Bujue listened to their conversation and looked left and right. He felt like a web novelist who had accidentally stumbled into a Writers' Association meeting. He wanted to talk, but he didn't know where to start.
Feng Bujue had some impression of Mountain River and Heaven and Earth. Both of them were in the top ten of the overall strength ranking. However, he had never seen the names of the three players in front of him before.
After all, Feng Bujue was not part of the professional gaming circle. Even though he had heard of some big names, the number of people he knew was still limited. For example, those fake football fans, if you mentioned Messi, Ronaldo, and Robin van Persie, they would know them, but if you mentioned a name like Alba, the first thing that popped up in their minds would be a Hollywood actress and not a Spanish full back.
Back to the main topic, the three that Feng Bujue had met were all professional gamers, and they were indeed famous players. However, in Thriller Paradise, they were not on the level and combat ranking.
The most famous of them all was Hong Hu, who was known as the 'Strategist'. This nickname did not come about after playing Thriller Paradise. Years ago, Hong Hu had already established his' standing 'in the game. In many RTS, turn-based strategy, and virtual epic strategy games, he was one of the top players.
Furthermore, Hong Hu was an independent professional gamer. He did not have the support of a gaming studio, and he relied on his own ability to survive. According to rumors, he came from a normal family when he was young, but when he was eighteen, he used the money he earned from gaming to escape poverty.
Including the Shadow King, almost every professional gamer who worked with their own identity did not know Hong Hu's name. In fact, many of them joined the industry because of his story.
On the other hand, Autumn Wind was the brains of Mountain River, and he was good friends with the boss of the gaming studio. Normally, he had other duties at the company, so he would not participate in games directly. However, as long as he participated in a game, he would win the championship without exception.
Autumn Wind was best at war themed strategy games, especially modern warfare. He had once written a famous post on a gaming forum about the Three Kingdoms. 'As a modern person, do we still need to use the strategic thinking of the medieval period to play war games?'
The debate and argument caused by that post had not stopped. Actually, what Autumn Wind was trying to explain was a simple truth: the concept of war would change with the times. Some people thought that the generals from World War I or even the Liberation War were not as good as the military strategists from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and that was nonsense.
The third person, Weighty Words, also had a great background. He was a rare professional gamer with a high education. (As the professional system became more and more mature, players became a profession similar to athletes. Due to the special nature of the industry, the age of players was generally young, usually between 14 and 18 years old, with the youngest being 12 years old. Therefore, professional gamers were generally junior high or high school.) He was an international student from a famous overseas university. During his study in Europe, he also won the Intercontinental Magic Card Tournament.
In terms of age, Weighty Words was 25 years old this year, a few years older than the other two. However, in terms of professional gaming experience, he was still a junior who had only been in the industry for two years. However, this junior relied on a few very important game "championships" to quickly make a name for himself in the industry and became a well-known strategic player.
In short, these people … were all experts.
After the three of them greeted each other, there was a short silence. Then, they turned to look at Feng Bujue at the same time.
"That … I am just a person, no one. You don't have to pay too much attention to me." Feng Bujue narrowed his eyes and said. Although he had no idea who these three people were, listening to their conversation, he felt that they were very powerful …
Therefore, another period of silence began …
After a few seconds, Weighty Words spoke first. "Erm … this … Brother Feng, there is no need to be so humble. Since we are a team, everyone can play a role."
Ambitionist pushed on his glasses and cut in. "Brother Feng, do you mind if I ask, are you the kind of player who uses brute force or is more of a puzzle solver?" He paused. "Because your title is a bit ambiguous, I wish to confirm it."
"I am a casual player," Feng Bujue replied. "That means I am very weak at fighting and quite average at solving puzzles."
This was obviously bullshit …
Of course, Feng Bujue had no grudge with these people, and there was no conflict of interest. Naturally, he did not say this to "pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger." In fact, after he found out about these people's titles, he was overjoyed.
The teams that he had met in the past basically relied on Feng Bujue to come up with strategies and strategies. This time, it was rare to meet three players who were good at strategizing (the kind that could be seen from their titles), and they all looked like they were enjoying themselves. Brother Jue, this' nameless character ', could use this as an excuse. Occasionally, he would let someone else command him while he himself could relax and do nothing.
"Is that so … That is strange …" Hong Hu scratched his chin and said in thought.
"Oh? Is there a problem? " Qiu Fengse asked as she tried to figure out what the man meant by 'strange'.
"There is no introduction to this scenario; it just gave us a mission," Hong Hu replied. "It has a sense of … 'everything will be solved by you'." Then, the focus of his eyes changed; he was probably looking at the game menu. "And the Detective Club that the mission refers to seems to be hinting at something."
"So, that is why …" Weighty Words said. "Qiu Fengse, Hong Hu, and I are all players who are good at strategizing. If the setting of this scenario is to clear the scenario purely through solving puzzles, then the four of us should be good at strategizing … "
At this point, the three of them turned to look at Feng Bujue.
"Fine, if I have to choose … compared to fighting, I am more of a puzzle solver," Feng Bujue said awkwardly. Actually, it was fine if he did not admit it, but he was afraid that the wrong information would affect his teammates' judgment of the whole scenario, so he admitted it. However, he did not forget to add, "But don't place too much hope on me … At most, I am just a normal person. The real problem will depend on the three of you. "
"Haha … Brother Feng, you are too kind," Qiu Fengse said. Qiu Fengse said. "For puzzle-solving, there is no harm in having one more person. After all, it is a win-win situation."
Even so, the three of them did not think much of Feng Bujue. The three of them were thinking, If this is a scenario that is purely about solving puzzles, I will be able to solve it alone, and you will just have to watch my performance.
It was not that they were arrogant … because this group of 'strategists' had always been like that. As smart people who could get things right nine out of ten times, when it came to critical moments, they only trusted themselves the most in the depths of their hearts.
Oh, right, it should be clarified here that Feng Bujue was not part of that group. He was purely arrogant and narcissistic, and there was no saving him.
"Hmm … A scenario designed for four players who are good at solving puzzles …" Hong Hu said, and his lips curved upward. "Interesting …"
"Ever since we entered the scenario, the information that we can obtain has been minimized," Weighty Words said. "I wonder what kind of problem we will face next …"
Qiu Fengse used a similar, serious, and chuunibyou tone to say, "Let's use my strategy to solve all of them!"
In the end, Feng Bujue added weakly from behind them, "I will give you my moral support …"
