The game had only been in closed beta for a few days, but it had already become a hot topic.
Countless people could not play the game, but they were willing to stay in the forum. They thought that they would play it sooner or later and had to keep up with the game's pace.
After the Blood Moon incident, many people who could not play the game mocked the closed beta testers. They all said that if they could play it, they would definitely stay in the game.
Of course, the closed beta testers were not convinced. They said that those who had never played the game would never understand what a terrible game it was.
For a time, the forum was filled with arguments. Various videos of the game were leaked, and some professional players analyzed it.
Those who did not play the game also knew that the future of the game was built by the players themselves. The players' thoughts were getting more and more divergent, and they almost did not treat it as a game.
There were businessmen, mercenaries, and even artists …
Although there were 400,000 closed beta testers, there were still very few women. Beautiful ones were even rarer.
Because the game was cruel and scary, there were even fewer women than pandas. They were all important figures that the players took care of. They were afraid that they would not play if they were wronged.
However, as the players' thoughts were broadened, female players thought that since they had such a high status and were treated like celebrities, why not just become celebrities in the game?
Therefore, female players who sang and danced appeared …
Some took the artistic route and held concerts in the base. Some were not artistic and wore less and less to attract people.
The male players who had originally treated the female players with respect also became active. They thought that in such a free game, could they have sex?
In theory, they could have sex in the game. After all, this was a dream. It was completely possible to have sex online.
However, Lan Mu thought about it again and again and decided to restrict sex and freedom. Needless to say, in the dream, Lan Mu, who was as powerful as a god, directly set such a situation. They would be killed by lightning and dragged to hell to provide super horror.
Hell was set by Lan Mu a long time ago in the dream. There had been no guests. When a few perverts came to him, Lan Mu sent them to hell for seven days.
In fact, this was equivalent to a ban. Unless that person could endure seven days of horror in hell, they would be considered awesome and could continue to play the game in the human world.
However, it was almost impossible for such people to exist. Who would be willing to face all kinds of horror in hell as soon as they came online? Unless that person liked to be tortured by ghosts.
In the game, there was a Demonic Bone Warlock. Because he had become the new generation of Spellcasters, he ran amok. He thought that this game was like the real world, where anything could be done. Therefore, he wanted to use the unspoken rules on the female players in the team.
In the end, she was directly struck to death by lightning, and the demonic bones that fell fell into the hands of that woman, becoming the first female warlock in the history of the game.
Not only that, but his name was also hung on the God's Punishment Tablet in the base church, telling everyone that he had gone to hell for what he had done.
Only then did the players realize that there was a hell in this game.
By spending a bit of faith, they would be able to see the miserable state of the torturers in hell, so no one dared to act recklessly.
No matter how free a game was, there was still a bottom line. After all, the foundation came from real life.
There was no formal law enforcement system in the game, so God had to act as a moral restraint. This was something that many religions had done since ancient times.
But what Lan Mu found troublesome was the two willing parties. What should he do? From the perspective of freedom, she was willing to do so. Even if you were a god, you couldn't do anything about it.
Later, Lan Mu thought it through. Selling was voluntary, so he still had to ban it. Therefore, he used the power of the Lord of Dreams to ban sex between players. Freedom.
Of course, there were exceptions. In real life, people of certain nationalities had freedom in this aspect.
Therefore, the Dutch were happy. They were free.
Players from other countries didn't have much to say about this. They were free in real life, so of course they were free in the game.
But the necessary teasing still came. For example, "Don't compare yourself to the Dutch players. Our trade is about achievements, their trade is about cannons!"
After perfecting the major settings in the game, the rules of the Dream World would maintain everything, and the remaining NPCs would help him regulate it.
The game was on the right track. Lan Mu distributed another two million pieces of equipment. After using up all the dream wires, he left the Dream World.
For the time being, he didn't need to look over here. The scattered fear and faith would be automatically collected. When the players grew to a certain level, Lan Mu would think of something else.
After calculating the time, there were still seven days before the next transformation. He decided to return to China.
…
Shanghai. Lan Mu returned directly to his former home.
He didn't bring any subordinates. He came back as an ordinary tourist.
It was too easy to control the American government and create a fake identity.
Nothing had changed here. It was still so prosperous and peaceful.
After hesitating for a while, he didn't return to the studio. Instead, he found a hotel to stay in.
In the afternoon, Luo Yan called.
"My … My Lord, you're really back?"
Before returning, Lan Mu asked Bai Ze to contact Luo Yan and gave him a new number.
Lan Mu said, "Bai Ze told you, right? How's your arrangement? "
Luo Yan said, "My Lord, are you really going to catch the Zergs? That's almost impossible. "
Lan Mu asked, "Why? Are those Zergs so powerful? "
Luo Yan explained, "Compared to you, the Zergs are nothing. But the most terrifying thing about them is their survivability and adaptability. They can't be killed! Plus, I can't take you in … Lop Nur is an absolute forbidden zone. The barrier has locked the place down. Even if you go in, Qianlong won't let you out for a short period of time … "
Lan Mu said, "Not even for a short period of time? Don't you have your main force inside? Can't you let them out? "
Luo Yan smiled bitterly, "They're dead for sure. Even if they survive, they'll be abandoned by their superiors. They're destined to be sacrificed."
He explained, "Not a single Zerg can release the barrier. Qianlong can't take this risk. This is an absolute order from the country's number one figure. It's also because of this that CANC tacitly agreed to let us take in an Zerg. Because there's no way to safely take the Zergs out of China, they also ordered us not to release the barrier no matter what! It's also because of the Zergs that the barrier map is completely used here. Qianlong has lost a strategic anomaly. "
Lan Mu nodded and thought.
The Zergs were finally trapped in the barrier. Once the barrier is released, even if it's only for a second, there's no guarantee that none of the Zergs won't escape.
If an Zerg hides, who can find it? If it slowly multiplies, it'll be another disaster.
Even CANC didn't dare to ask Qianlong to hand over the Zergs and trusted this method of containment.
Even if Lan Mu was confident that he could track down the Zergs as soon as they escaped, no one would believe him.
And even if he controlled Qianlong, it would be useless. Unless he could control the entire upper echelon of China, because Qianlong didn't have the authority to open the barrier.
Lan Mu wasn't completely sure either. What if one of the Zergs escaped his surveillance? China and even the people of Asia would pay for his mistake!
"Very well … I'll leave the Zergs to Qianlong for now! But I can't just come back empty-handed. I'll see if there are any wild anomalies in China and take them in as well. "
Lan Mu's main reason for returning to China was to capture the Zergs. His second reason was to send a clone into Shambhala to look for Fang Moqi and see if there was a way to get him out.
He didn't dare to mess around with the Zergs right now, so he might as well help Qianlong clean up a few anomalies to reduce the pressure on him.
Seeing that Lan Mu's idea had been dispelled, Luo Yan sighed in relief. If Lan Mu insisted on capturing the Zergs, causing havoc in Qianlong's headquarters and taking away the barrier map, not only would Luo Yan not be able to stop him, he would even have to help him. If things didn't end well, humanity would be the ones to suffer.
"Wild anomalies? Very well! It just so happens that I'm in charge of an anomaly in Beijing. Let's start with him! "
Lan Mu scowled: "You're in charge of him? Does that mean Qianlong already knows about it? "
What he wanted was an anomaly in the wild. If Qianlong knew about it, he would most likely have a fight with Qianlong.
Lan Mu naturally wasn't afraid, the only one who would be in trouble would be Qianlong.
Luo Yan smiled: "No, no, no, that anomaly isn't confirmed yet. I'm currently in charge of determining whether or not a person has an anomaly, and the final conclusion is up to me. If I say it's not, then it's not. If it's really an anomaly, then after you take it away, it won't be an anomaly either. "
After going back and forth, Lan Mu understood and smiled bitterly.
Qianlong's system was far less rigorous than CANC's, no wonder they didn't take Zhang Yang in and instead protected him.
Could it be that Zhang Yang was related to Qianlong?
Lan Mu transformed into the Treasure Seeking Mouse and checked the situation of the anomalies in China. Most of them were concentrated in Changbai Mountain, while a small number were concentrated in Liaoning Province. These two were obviously Qianlong's containment bases.
Other than that, there were two in Tibet, one was obviously the entrance to Shambhala, and the other was probably a wild anomaly.
There was also one in Frontier. Thinking of Lop Nur, Lan Mu assumed that it was an insectoid, but he was confused as to why there was only one insectoid. He then realized that the insectoids were living creatures, and the Treasure Seeking Mouse's treasure instincts wouldn't recognize living creatures as treasures. So, that must be one of Qianlong's anomalies stationed there, or perhaps a wild anomaly.
"Regardless of what it is, I might as well take a look."
Lan Mu briefly scanned through the anomalies in China and found a few that were clearly wild. Not counting the ones in Tibet and Frontier, there were a total of 6 of them.
"That's more than USA … If I include the ones in Tibet and Frontier, as well as the ones I took in in China, there are at least 10 of Qianlong's anomalies that slipped through the net! Damn it, I've already done you a great favor by coming here … "
Lan Mu grinned mischievously and told Luo Yan: "In Beijing … Very well, let's start there."
Six wild anomalies, none in Shanghai, two in Beijing, one in Northeast, one in Sichuan, one in Henan, and one in Jiangxi.
Although Beijing wasn't the closest, there were two in Beijing, so it wasn't a bad idea to start there.
He used his mental power to scan the Blue Train Studios from afar, but there was no one there.
With a bitter smile, Lan Mu decisively left Shanghai and headed to Beijing.
