In Lu Yunchuan's somewhat dazed eyes, Shangguan Mubai explained.
"You should know that all game copies evolve based on the overworld you are in.
This evolution can be the introduction of burst variables or the simulation of the future.
For example, the eerie resurgence of the last major expansion pack is called "Strange Realm Awakening: Epoch Rift".
The background is set on January 1, 2026, when 'supernatural rifts' suddenly appeared in many places around the world, causing ancient legends of ghosts, evil spirits, and forbidden knowledge to pour into reality from the void.
The city fell into 'strangeness', the buildings were twisted into labyrinths, the streets were shrouded in blood-colored mist, and humans gradually lost their minds in fear, becoming nutrients for strange creatures.
The source of the rift points to a forgotten ultra-ancient civilization, the 'Ruins', which transforms itself into a spiritual being through forbidden rituals in an attempt to devour the real world.
The official organization 'Zhen Wei Si' united with exorcists and superpowers from folk forces to establish a shelter, but with limited resources, human civilization was on the verge of collapse.
In this world full of supernatural phenomena, players can hunt spirits, collect forbidden relics, and always be on the lookout for 'spiritual pollution'.
Overall, this is a large copy of the supernatural survival category.
In this copy, the awakening of the ultra-ancient civilization 'Ruins Clan' is a sudden variable introduced by the system.
You can also think that this copy is a possibility of evolving into a spooky world in the future...
Then just imagine, if you know the information about the next expansion pack and then lay it out in advance in the Overworld.
For example, join some folk exorcism groups or collect some exorcism items in advance...
So when the dungeon is opened, can you directly obtain the status of an exorcist, or have a shelter full of exorcists?
Does this count as home advantage?
Another example is the Black Snake Gang dungeon you just experienced, the main background is the gang struggle in the overworld, and the system simulates it as the player's battlefield, and the 'player' belongs to the biggest variable.
So what if you lay out in Tianfeng Building in advance? For example, hide a batch of weapons first, install a group of powerful helpers, or prepare a few gliders..."
Lu Yunchuan was stunned when he heard this.
I'm going! Can you still play like this?
If I had hidden a batch of bazookas in the building before, where would I have to play with some angry birds, send a few rockets, and where would the other party have any air force?
Another example is to report to the police in advance, as soon as the player comes, he sees that the bunker machine guns in the building are set up, are afraid that he will have to urinate directly?
The glider was even more shameless, the other party was still struggling with whether to choose A or B, and he flew with the mission goal Sean Biyi...
Isn't this a hundred times easier than climbing the stairs?
As soon as the idea is opened, this game is simply full of loopholes!
Normally, players can only enter when the dungeon is open, which means they don't have time to lay out in advance.
But he is a person from the Overworld and an NPC with a legal identity...
"Wait! But how can we know the information about the next copy in advance? Lu Yunchuan thought of a key question.
"Hehe! Some small dungeons of the trigger and daily types will not be mentioned for the time being, but general large dungeons or expansion packs will basically send system notices in advance.
This is the same as when you play a game, the official usually warms up the game event in advance.
And the rewards of this kind of large-scale expansion pack are often the most generous.
It is even possible that one copy can create a super player...
Not long ago, the system had already released a preview of the next expansion. "
Saying that, Shangguan Mubai tapped a few times in the void, and then swiped his finger.
A curtain of light appeared in front of Lu Yunchuan out of thin air.
["Daredevil Invasion: Virus Havoc" - the official trailer of the new expansion pack! ]
To all brave survivors:
When the starry sky is no longer peaceful, when familiar cities are reduced to purgatory, a dark conspiracy from deep space is quietly descending.
The order of human civilization is being torn apart like tissue paper, a frenzy of flesh and steel is pouring in from all directions, and the fire of survivors will be ignited in your hands.
The competition for resources, the choice of human nature...
Survival or death, redemption or betrayal...
In this ultimate test of human survival, you will face the deadly threat of alien races and uncover the apocalyptic truth induced by the virus...]
...
"Ding~" Walking into the elevator, Lu Yunchuan still had the expansion trailer he had just seen in his mind.
If I told you that this world will face an alien invasion and a global zombie apocalypse in a month, what should you do as an ordinary NPC?
Lu Yunchuan said he was a little panicked.
Although he had just escaped from the gang fire of bullets, this kind of small scene was not at all the same as the legendary apocalyptic scene of a black screen pressing down on a wave of corpses.
In fact, I really want to reject this kind of dangerous doomsday survival copy that is super high at first sight.
But unfortunately, this is not a regional small and medium-sized copy, but a worldwide expansion copy, and he, an NPC, can't refuse at all.
Fortunately, compared with other players, I have an extra month of preparation time.
Since you can't hide, build high walls, accumulate grain, and all survival items for food and medicine are necessities...
Isn't it just survival at the end of the day, stick to Zhihu Xiaohongshu... Don't have too many relevant knowledge points.
From restarting civilization to eating, drinking, and Lhasa, only you can't do it, and there is nothing that doomsday survival enthusiasts can't think of...
But what he lacks is an apocalypse preparation plan? What he lacks most now is money!
The premise of all preparations is... You have to make money first!
The problem is that I am still in a state of debt, my credit card is almost maxed out, my mortgage has not been settled this month, and my job is gone.
With his current credit status and capital flow, even the most black-hearted online loan may not be able to borrow a few cents...
If it weren't for the end of his life, he wouldn't have embarked on the road of suicide.
Hmm... If you want to start in the dungeon, you have to spend money in the main world first, but the only way to make money seems to be the game copy...
[The "Black Snake Gang's Destruction Six" mission opens tokens, 5060 game currency, and S-level merit medal*1. ]
I thought about the "game assets" I had on hand now.
The token of the quest opening, that is, the key to the "Safe No. 233 UOB Bank on Xijing Road" given to him, is obviously the so-called "criminal evidence" of the Black Snake Gang by using it.
If the news is released, I believe that the "snake head" of the Black Snake Gang will definitely be willing to pay a high price and extort a proper sum.
However, as a bottom-level NPC with no power or background, I am afraid that if you don't operate well, people will find you and silence you directly.
Dealing with this kind of murderous underworld organization is too risky for wise people to take...
Then there are game currency and medals, according to Shangguan Mubai, both of which are used to exchange items and props in the game mall.
Game currency can be used to purchase ordinary level goods and props, but items above C level require the corresponding level of medals to be exchanged, and medals are equivalent to a kind of "purchase certificate".
So the S-class medal in their hands, as long as they have enough game currency, can buy an S-class item or prop.
Unfortunately, the game store is generally only open in certain large dungeons, selling special products for each dungeon.
In theory, there are no players in the main world, so naturally there is no mall, so you can only wait until the next dungeon to consume.
So after watching it for a long time, these "game assets" cannot be monetized at all.
So... Where do you get the money...
Lu Yunchuan couldn't help but touch the diamond ring in his pocket.
If you add charm to 4, you will definitely not be able to eat soft rice...
To say where is the hardest in the whole body, that is, this carbon element element element crystal...
Thinking of this, he raised his wrist and glanced at the time on his watch, and was stunned for a moment.
I haven't paid attention just now, but now I look at it, but it's just before eleven o'clock.
In other words, he had been fighting and dying in the dungeon for nearly an hour before, and the main world even only passed for a moment?
"The time flow rate of the overworld is different from that of the dungeon world, and the system's control of 'Oram' is all-round, including space and time.
If necessary, turning back time is just a matter of reading an archived backup. Shangguan Mubai explained.
Well, you are a high-dimensional world, you are awesome!
"But this point... The other party probably hasn't left the building yet..."
...
52nd floor, Shengjing Finance.
"Xiaoxiao, sort out today's inspection report and focus on the reasons for the decline in performance in the second quarter."
"Okay, Mr. Su, in addition to the merger and acquisition case you mentioned earlier, the other company has just sent a supplementary agreement, and you need to review it later."
"Send me an email, by the way, notify the finance department that a meeting will be held at 10 a.m. tomorrow morning to discuss the fund allocation plan.
And the new project in Chengdong, contact the legal department to draft a contract, and ask the marketing department to submit a detailed promotion plan within three days, I want to see the specific data and implementation timeline..."
Su Yun, who was dressed in a capable suit and hip-hugging skirt and stepping on black high heels, walked to the elevator room while explaining the secretary's next work.
Behind him were Brother Hua and another younger bodyguard.
The little secretary holding the notebook was just about to step forward to press the elevator for Su Yun, but a figure suddenly walked over from the side and pressed the downward elevator button in advance.
Su Yun raised her eyelids slightly, glanced at the man, and didn't care, just thinking that he was an office worker working on the same floor.
"Ding~" The elevator arrived, and the man standing at the door of the elevator naturally got on the elevator first, and Su Yun and the others followed in.
However, there were outsiders, and several people stopped talking at work.
Brother Hua glanced at the other party a few times, and saw that he was wearing a work card hanging around his neck, and he was dressed as an office worker in a white shirt and black trousers, and he didn't care too much.
The man who came in early stood in front of the elevator button, raised his left hand and pressed the button on the first floor, then glanced sideways at Su Yun and the others, his eyes naturally fell on Su Yun at the head, and asked with a smile, "What floor?" "
People are kind, Su Yun said very cultivatedly, "Negative first floor, thank you!" "
The gaze naturally followed the other party's raised left hand, watching the other party press the button on the negative first floor, and his expression suddenly stunned for a moment.
I saw that under the light in the elevator, a diamond ring on the man's left hand lit up slightly, flashing with a somewhat blurry brilliance...
At first, Su Yun thought that she should have seen it wrong, after all, it was not surprising that the styling style was similar.
The next moment, the man raised his hand and held his glasses, a very natural movement, but it made Su Yun subconsciously take another look.
This time the distance was closer, almost clearly showing his presence in front of Su Yun.
The familiar shape, the familiar color... She couldn't help but raise her hand and glanced at the ... in her hand
Su Yun: "..."
...
"Ding~" The first floor arrived, the elevator door opened, and the man walked out of the elevator naturally.
One, two, three...
Just when he thought that he was not obvious enough, should he walk back and slap the other person's face to attract the other party's attention...
"This gentleman! Please stay! "
The corners of the mouth hooked!
Hey! Finally took the bait!
That's right, the man is naturally Lu Yunchuan, as for why he is waiting for Su Yun and his party on the 52nd floor, it is naturally because he wants to "return things to their original owners".
Of course, as for how to pay back... This is a matter of technical details...
According to Shangguan Mubai's estimate, the auction price of this diamond ring is 5 million, as long as it can be shot, it can directly solve the initial capital problem!
But the question is, how to make a move?
He didn't know any jewelers, and if he didn't understand the market and rushed to sell it in the store, he would definitely have to be bargained.
This kind of diamond product is sold in the store and is very expensive, and the second-hand recycling price is simply a blood collapse.
As for the auction... Go through the process of appraisal and valuation, arrange time for auction and final payment...
I'm afraid that when the account arrives, more than half a month will pass...
For those who are in a hurry to spend money, how can there be so much time to wait.
As the saying goes, killing is better than killing, and it doesn't bother the two masters, so he thought of Su Yun...
Turning around, he looked at Su Yun and the others who had chased him out of the elevator, and pointed to himself.
"Ma'am, are you calling me?"
Seeing Su Yun nodding, Lu Yunchuan pretended to be puzzled, "Do we know?" "
"No! I don't know! It's just ..." Su Yun glanced at the diamond ring worn on Lu Yunchuan's left hand, and her face was a little strange.
"Take the liberty of asking, where did you buy the diamond ring in your hand?"
Lu Yunchuan silently chanted in his heart, as urgent as a law, the actor quickly got on his body!
At first, he looked at his left hand a little blankly, and then suddenly, with a little nostalgia and a little sadness, he gently stroked the ring on his hand.
"This is not bought, it was given by an old friend."
The tone was very flat, but the look clearly told everyone that this was a ring with a story...
A gift from an old friend?
What old friend gave you to wear your left ring finger?
What's even more outrageous is that the exact same one on my hand is also worn on the ring finger of my left hand, so you say it's embarrassing or not?
"That ... Although this request is a bit presumptuous, if possible, can you let me take a closer look at your ring? "
Lu Yunchuan nodded with an expression that I didn't understand what you wanted to do, but it didn't hurt to look at it, and then raised his hand.
Su Yun stepped forward and walked up to Lu Yunchuan and looked at it carefully.
The two got closer, Lu Yunchuan could even smell the faint smell of perfume emanating from Su Yun's body, looking at Su Yun's slightly trembling eyelashes and smooth face like white porcelain, he suddenly looked a little dazed, and the appearance of the other party's blood-stained clothes unconsciously appeared in his mind...
The beauty is still the same, but the clothes are not as good as the new, and the people are not as good as the old, after all, they are still paid by mistake...
Su Yun stared at the ring, and Lu Yunchuan stared at Su Yun.
Seeing her face become more and more strange, then she looked up and suddenly looked at each other.
"That ... May I ask this gentleman, does your ring sell? "
Lu Yunchuan was silent for a moment, seemingly refusing, but in fact raising the price.
said very against his will.
"Sorry, this ring... It's important to me! "
