Chapter 511 All parties gathered - Master’s round

 Catching a Flame Dog costs more than 100,000 credits!

As Lu Yi and his team uploaded the video collection, there was a burst of exclamation.

It is no longer news that rich people are willing to pay for games. The price of one hundred thousand credits is now equivalent to hundreds of thousands of yuan. It is not uncommon for gaming equipment worth millions to appear.

 But the problem now is that usually, many of those millions of game equipment need to "depend on luck". There is an issue of explosion rate and attribute probability, which is essentially the same as winning a lottery.

But the thing captured by the Flame Dog is different. In "Abyss World", because the initial novice village is located in the Enzo Territory, the Flame Dog is Enzo's family, so it is almost everywhere outside, and it is the largest number of wild monsters. !

 Hence, the difficulty of the Flame Dog is equivalent to only the capturing stage.

 It is true that this first team that tried to take advantage of the situation had been practicing hard for a long time, and judging from the looks of it, they also took a lot of risks.

 But this operation is still replicable!

“My dear, as expected of Young Master Qin, I just spent 100,000 credits.”

“In fact, in the game “World of Abyss”, the investment of 100,000 credit points is really nothing. Many domestic Internet companies and many foreign institutions have paid to recruit closed beta players.”

“Yes, there are only 3,000 closed beta test players, and now you can find a cooperation plan with a monthly income of at least 10,000 credit points. It is just a cooperation plan, not an employment.”

“I feel that Mr. Qin made a profit by buying the first Flame Dog with 100,000 credits. If they offer a higher price, he will accept it. The reputation gained by being the number one in the game is now more valuable in the game.”

 “Umbrella’s products are really nothing to say…”

"Look at the gap in the bombing of bugs. Other detectors can only be dropped normally. Umbrella's 'Constellation I' direct orbital main gun bombardment, and the subsequent mechanical team's forced landing, there are still detectors now. Went to the asteroid to look for minerals..."

“Forget about bugs, I’ve been looking for games to numb myself recently. Mad, what’s wrong with this world?”

“Yeah, it’s Biohazard again, it’s Abyss Invasion again, and now there’s the Zerg, no wonder they’re all expanding their armies.”

　　　…”

 After encountering external pressure in reality, many people have the idea of ​​​​escape.

 There was a general idea that if the sky fell, the tall man would hold it up, so we continued playing music and dancing.

 "Abyss World" has attracted even more attention...

Coupled with the fact that many workers in the types of jobs that robots are rapidly replacing are being rehired in large numbers, they are focused on learning the knowledge and content of the Abyss World game.

Unconsciously, "Abyss World", which has only 3,000 beta test players, has begun to affect people's daily lives!

 …

In Neon, in a high-end apartment building, Yoko was looking at her serious parents in front of her with a puzzled face. As workaholics, they suddenly found out what they were doing "talking about business" together.

"Are you so idle? Didn't it mean that the group has been funded by Umbrella? Do you want to behave well?"

Yoko said with a puzzled expression.

　In the first Tokyo Zombie incident, Mitsubishi was forced to be thrown out to sacrifice the flag, and Umbrella took the largest part at that time.

However, Neon’s own consortium is still quite strong and has a lot of investments overseas. Otherwise, it would not be so obsessed with being targeted by big beautiful companies.

After Umbrella's almost all advantageous industries clicked on the neon lights and directly completed technological crushing to force them to surrender, the chaebols themselves were naturally no longer able to get the bulk of the profits.

In this case, it can only passively accept Umbrella's capital injection, and the internal network completes the connection with the Red Queen, and completes various daily operations under the review of Umbrella's artificial intelligence.

After all, Umbrella itself lacks people here. When the size increases, there is really no need to do everything personally. Neon has ensured good supervision, and with the arrangement of security drones and trauma teams, it is still mainly based on Neon. Hong people manage their own people.

 At least some bones will be thrown away to give them some hope, so as not to become passive and slow down without hope.

So Yoko's parents, who were senior executives in the consortium, also directly became 007 during this period, completing various connections and management without touching the ground, and transitioning to the Umbrella era as smoothly as possible.

 There are so many industries and so many people involved, the transition period is also relatively long.

Yoko hasn’t seen them for many days.

“This time we come to you together, it’s actually about work matters.”

Yoko’s father said it in a meticulous manner, which seemed a bit harsh.

However, Yoko didn’t really buy it, but curled his lips and said

"Oh, you only come to me about work matters? What about me learning magic?"

　　When I said the dormitory was haunted, they ignored me at all, but now I started to ask questions about magic.

“That’s right, Umbrella has recently brought together all the conglomerates who have invested in Neon and completed the merger, establishing a behemoth Arasaka Group in which Umbrella holds 70% of the shares but is managed by us on a day-to-day basis.”

Yoko’s father said with a serious face.

 Today, Arasaka Group is the sky of neon!

　　Controls the food, clothing, housing, transportation, life, old age, illness and death of everyone in Neon.

 To a certain extent, Umbrella has controlled the fate due to its own technological crushing, and its control over neon is even greater than that of the original beauty.

 After driving away the beautiful garrison, he undoubtedly became the emperor of neon.

“So, you are also working at Arasaka Group now? Is your branch or department preparing to enter the virtual world? So you found me?”

Yoko lay back and leaned directly into the sofa, with a lazy and mocking expression.

 “What’s your attitude?”

Yoko’s father frowned dissatisfied, but was stopped by his wife.

Yoko’s gentle mother said to her softly

"You are right. The company we are in now serves Umbrella, and most of the value produced by all of us in the country belongs to Umbrella. However, it is precisely because of this that the group's senior management has asked Umbrella for advice. The company pulled some directions and confirmed that Umbrella itself will not over-manage the player group within the game, and will mainly only conduct some macro-control, so the value in the game can be discovered..."

"Then what do you want to do with me? If it's just me, you've said so, so naturally I can't refuse you."

Yoko looked up at the ceiling and probably knew what they were thinking.

 Sure enough, Yoko’s mother then tentatively said

"Then, can you invite your friend to join in? I remember Qianqian, who is number one in the magic class. She should be your roommate, right?"

Now that the potential of "Abyss World" has been revealed, all kinds of capital and consortia have begun to pour into it.

Even Masla took the opportunity to announce in a high-profile way that he would enter the virtual world when he launched Starship II last time.

In this momentum that has begun to swarm, Gu Qianqian, as the only one in the magic class, is naturally the most dazzling pearl in this competition.

 It can be said that Gu Qianqian has been invited many times in and outside the game, and there are various sky-high price contracts.

As long as she nods, it will be at least hundreds of millions of dollars in signing fees!

It can be said that Gu Qianqian is no longer a matter of personal representative, she has become a benchmark figure in the game, the first person in magic, and she is worth the price!

  731

Whether it’s the sky-high signing fees from Gu Qianqian or the continuous sales of several flaming dogs worth hundreds of thousands of credits by Lu Yi and his team, they only reflect a small part of “Abyss World”.

 The more impact is the recruitment advertisements interspersed in various short videos, as well as the appearance of some people speaking out about the current treatment.

Even if there are no closed beta quotas, players have been recruited in advance for targeted training, which has greatly increased the number of cloud players. You can imagine how closely all parties are paying attention now.

　　Although the evil neighbor Zerg has been staying nearby recently, it makes many people feel fear.

 But the more this is the case, the more ordinary people want to find a place to live.

Moreover, Umbrella's Constellation spacecraft is conducting surveillance in the synchronous orbit of Mars, and several other spacecraft and satellites left behind are also monitoring the situation on Mars.

Nantianmen later urgently launched some probes towards Mars, seeming to want to place more monitoring satellites in the orbit of Mars.

Under this kind of protection, more people will naturally choose to ignore the threat subconsciously and find other things to distract their attention.

 "Abyss World" is undoubtedly the hottest picture at the moment.

 Even capital chooses to enter safe haven...

 …

 “His name is Youluo, and he is my friend.”

Gu Qianqian pointed to Yuluo, who was holding Samoyed next to her, and introduced Yoko.

Yuluo is still wearing the same loose onmyoji uniform and wearing wooden clogs.

The handsome face inherited from his mother combined with this outfit looks a bit similar to a miko's COS. The Samoyed incarnation of Tamamo-mae is also the absolute most beautiful among dogs. Standing here is very eye-catching.

“Ah, I didn’t know you had such a beautiful friend. Hello, I am Qianqian’s roommate, Otomo Yoko.”

“Hehe, he is a boy, he is my senior brother.”

 Gu Qianqiangu smiled evilly and told Yoko the truth. After seeing the surprised expression on Yoko's face, she looked very proud.

Wang Yi's identity as the Great Onmyoji is related to Gu Qianqian, so it doesn't matter if he appears as a disciple. He just gave her a little warning not to expose his relationship with Umbrella.

 Actually, it doesn't matter if he is exposed now, but the Great Onmyoji's vest is quite good, and Wang Yi has no intention of losing it, so he just lets it take its course.

It’s normal for the Great Onmyoji to discover a girl with innate Yin-Yang eyes and take him as his disciple?

 “You’re lying, she’s so beautiful, ugh~”

Yoko couldn't help but sigh when she looked at Yuro, who was taller than herself.

 “Miss Yoko is also very beautiful.”

Youluo smiled politely, then waved his hands to Gu Qianqian and Yoko.

 “You guys chat, I went to walk the dog.”

 “I’m going to your house for dinner tonight, don’t forget~”

 Gu Qianqian kept waving her hands and seemed very attentive. Mrs. You Ji’s craftsmanship was so good that she would go over and rub her hands when she had time.

 “Ask Yoko to come with you, I’ll buy some food.”

 “Okay~, buy more, she eats a lot.”

Gu Qianqian pulled Yoko over and pulled her face as if to prove that she was good at eating.

 Mr. Yoko felt a little embarrassed. Am I good at eating? Why do I feel like I don’t eat as much as you do?

But this little thing doesn’t gain weight no matter how much he eats, he has such an enviable physique...

“My family asked me to ask you if you can join our union in the game. I just want to tell you, don’t think about me.”

 Looking back and thinking about serious matters, Yoko still helped her family.

Due to her parents' relationship, she finally had no choice but to join and became a member of the Abyss World Game Union under the Arasaka Group, and almost all the players recruited in the closed beta were built with Yoko as the core.

But as a friend, she is not prepared to involve the other party, unless she herself wants to, just ask a question.

"That won't work. My teacher doesn't like Umbrella. I won't join any organization in the game, but if you need help, you can come to me."

 Gu Qianqian incidentally said what her teacher said about Umbrella's dislike.

“Hehe, just help me. You don’t know. I hate trouble the most. But my parents forced me to get into trouble. It’s really annoying.”

After complaining, she sighed again and said

“But what can I do? After all, it’s my parents...

“Okay, I’m not happy anymore. Let’s go and go back online. The fireball technique is too complicated and I haven’t been able to master it. Please teach me later...”

 …

 Abyss, Enzo Territory.

On a hill outside the Novice Village, still within the protection range of the machine gun tower, Gu Qianqian also found this open space that was more suitable for release.

"Let's just go here. I'm afraid of breaking things inside. Although Fireball is not a high-level spell, the model is simple and simple, and it maximizes the destructive power. It is very cost-effective, so in theory, more advanced mages will also like it. Using this simple spell is something you can keep studying..."

 Gu Qianqian first gave a brief explanation to Yoko, and at this time, everyone in the mage class who was free ran over.

 There were even many other players who had not been able to join the mage class.

 Some have reached the 12-point mental strength standard, and some have not even reached the standard.

However, this involves the live practice of the first magic player in the game. Many people also want to observe the limits of the mage!

The large furnace built by Big Pineapple's solidification technique and the flame-enhanced engraving performed by Gu Qianqian are already very eye-catching, and they also prove that magic is irreplaceable in assisting.

 This time, it involves fighting.

Well-known players such as Qin Dashao, Big Pineapple, and PDD also came nearby.

  Qin Xiang and PDD also looked majestic as they each rode a flaming dog.

PDD is still live broadcasting the game, chatting and spanking with the water friends in the live broadcast room

"Brothers, this game is really amazing. I originally thought that I was very willing to invest in playing games. This time I came in and wanted to lead the brothers to do something big. But I only found out after I started recruiting people. This little money is nothing, it’s too exaggerated.”

  PDD himself has a fairly high income because he has stepped into the live broadcast trend, and several investments he made with his income were also very successful, so he is indeed not short of money.

This makes him look very generous when spending money when broadcasting games, because this is also one of the game characters he broadcasts, and many fans still accept this set.

After entering "Abyss World" this time, he was originally gearing up to do something big, and he also saw the potential of the game.

But when he really wanted to recruit people, he was shocked to find that the game of Temo had become a hot topic that capital began to compete for.

He is not short of money, but this is also a relative term, just like the big pineapple has a high income. This kind of money is a lot in the eyes of ordinary people, but when he really starts to get into this kind of strangulation, he also finds that he is mostly in the game. When you are a rich man, you don’t have to think too much about fighting for hegemony!

Even he himself was almost recruited directly. The signing fee was higher than the signing fee he paid for the original live broadcast. It seemed that they wanted to recruit him to come in specifically to recruit people.

This is no longer a simple game...

“Actually, my mental strength is 11 points. Although I can’t do it as a pure mage, I can also learn some magic skills. But brothers, mathematics is really too difficult, and you are making it too difficult for me.

“I came here this time just to see the power of the spell, not to learn it. Don’t make fun of me...”

 Chapter 732: Master’s Round

 “There are so many people.”

 Gu Qianqian felt a little weird looking at the people coming around.

This game is just in closed beta, and there are only 3,000 people in total. How come I have so many people surrounding me when I go online at any time?

 “You don’t know your fame yet, you are the world’s number one magical girl.”

Yoko said teasingly from the side, which made Gu Qianqian laugh.

 She doesn’t want to join the team except for the teacher’s status arrangement, and she also hates this kind of trouble.

  She is not short of money anyway, she has the legs of a teacher, and is already very satisfied with her material life.

It feels a bit unaccustomed to being the "number one in magic" being watched all the time.

But it was originally meant to correct Yoko's fireball technique. One person is watching, and a group of people are watching, it doesn't matter.

 “You release it first and let me see.”

Ignoring the other people around her, Gu Qianqian pointed to Yoko and pointed to the flat land in front of her.

"good."

Yoko calmed down and started to stretch out the two-finger meditation like Jiang Bo before, and began to outline the fireball spell model in the air, from points to lines to planes, and finally began to outline it three-dimensionally.

From time to time, he would reach out and flip the model over for ease of drawing, and slowly a complex spell model gradually took shape.

Besides those who are learning magic, there are also those who have reached the spiritual level and are studying on their own, who are frantically videotaping and observing.

 Others’ eyes turned black after seeing it.

PDD, who was sitting on the flaming dog, also put on a dizzy posture and covered his forehead.

 “Ah, I can’t watch this, I’m dizzy.”

Qin Xiang on the other side also had a blank look on his face. Sure enough, I'd better fight like a rich man. Magic and the like have nothing to do with me.

 Big Pineapple actually watched it very carefully and carefully observed and analyzed the video.

 He can also cast spells, but he specializes in solidification, and is far inferior to Yoko in terms of fireballs.

 Some discussions began to make comments on the sidelines.

“It took too long to prepare magic. Whether it was Big Pineapple’s support last time or this one, there is no time for you to do this during the battle.”

 “Yeah, times have changed, one shot will put it down.”

“Ron, this is much easier to use than the wand.jpg”

“Magic is mainly used for assistance and life creation, and it is not suitable for fighting and killing.”

“Mages can be regarded as scientists. They are very valuable and should not go to the battlefield.”

"too slow…"

　　　…”

There are only a few people who can learn magic, and even fewer people can learn it.

Hard-core basic knowledge points such as mathematics and magic numbers are here, as well as a lot of complicated and complicated magic knowledge.

 Some people give up even if they have the conditions to study.

 I’m here to play games!

 What about the postgraduate entrance examination?

That is to say, capital noticed the business opportunities here and raised its hand, hiring some qualified beta testers and paying them to learn from them. This is how the strong atmosphere is maintained.

After Yoko sketched in the void for about three minutes, the onlookers slowly noticed something was wrong, because Yoko’s spell model began to vibrate from time to time.

 After five minutes of sketching, the vibration became more and more obvious.

“Look, we’re here. Although it’s finished, I don’t dare to start it.”

At this time, Gu Qianqian circled around his spell model. From time to time, she raised her thumbs and index fingers to form a square in front of her eyes to take pictures. After studying for a while, she nodded.

“Yes, in fact, you have already mastered this spell model. You can try to inject guidance and throw it out directly. However, the range will be shorter and it may explode halfway, but it will not pose any threat.”

Yoko nodded when he heard this, and then began to guide the startup.

Soon, the rich magical energy nearby surged towards the spell model.

Those players who have reached the mental level will feel a sense of heat.

 Then a hot red fireball appeared at the original location of the spell model. As Yoko raised his hand and pushed forward, it quickly galloped forward!

 Although the fireball was a little unstable flying in the air, its speed was still at least hundreds of meters per second.

 After flying seventy or eighty meters in less than a second, an explosion occurred directly in the air.

The originally compressed fireball rapidly expanded to form a huge fireball several meters in diameter, and then shattered and collapsed.

 A violent shock wave swept across, kicking up a cloud of dust, and some players at close range could feel the heat wave.

 “It’s still hard to say how powerful it is.”

“It’s comparable to a rocket, maybe even stronger.”

“A direct hit is definitely stronger. The fireball that explodes is so big, but it doesn’t have the fragmentation damage of a frag grenade.”

 “It’s very strong, but it took a little longer.”

　　　…”

 Many players at the scene, as well as some cloud players watching through the live broadcast, left comments.

 In terms of power, it does meet or even exceed expectations. After all, how can those fireball spells in ordinary games have such exaggerated visual effects?

 But five minutes of sketching is still too slow, even if you become more proficient in it and can speed up the spellcasting in the future.

 As expected, mages can only be used as auxiliary, or to form a team for protection.

“In the future, if you can control it within one minute with proficiency, it will be similar to forming a team to attack the Flame Dog. Your teammates will delay the casting time and just blast it.”

 “Can it hit?”

“You don’t know anything about magic casting. They can mentally control the magic trajectory and move around like snakeskin.”

　　　…”

In addition to the whispers nearby, Gu Qianqian also found out what Yoko's problem was.

“You should have had too much mental ups and downs when sketching. Fireball is a relatively extreme spell model. Almost all the extra points are devoted to destruction. It is simple, efficient and cost-effective..."

Gu Qianqian did not specifically suppress her voice, leaving a group of people speechless.

 What the hell, you call this thing ‘simplicity’? That spell model makes me dizzy just looking at the painting, okay?

“Actually, this is not your problem. It’s that the model you learned is not suitable for you. It’s up to you.”

Gu Qianqian pondered for a while and then tapped her hands to find a way.

Then she raised her hands in vain, without Yoko's two-finger Zen outline at all. As the blue arcane light began to appear in her eyes, the void in front of her began to quickly form a spell model out of thin air!

 The speed is dozens of times faster than Yoko!

However, when she reached a node, Gu Qianqian suddenly stopped, then stretched out her hand to enlarge the spell model, pointed at one of the nodes and said

"This node was originally the Potter spiral structure that continues to amplify the power, but because you are not familiar with it now, you can change it to a delta-type triangle to complete the reinforcement and stabilization of the spell model. Although part of the power is sacrificed, As the stability of the model is enhanced, the power you can barely release will be much greater than before..."

 After saying this, the spell model was automatically outlined with rapid changes. Like a printer, it quickly reached a new place and paused, then started to point out the problem and explain it again.

 After Gu Qianqian directly formed the spell model out of the mental void, a group of people stared wide-eyed.

 “Holy shit! What speed is this?”

“Isn’t it dozens of times faster?”

“If she didn’t explain it, would it be ready in a few seconds?”

 “Why doesn’t she use her hands…”

 “Is this the mage?”

 “If her fireballs were as powerful as before…”

　　　…”

Before everyone could finish marveling, Gu Qianqian had already completed the outline of all the models of the fireball technique. Then she raised her hand and hit a stone hill a hundred meters away at a speed twice that of Yoko's fireball technique.

Boom~

The gravel splashed, and its power was at least twice as powerful as Yoko's previous fireball. It was comparable to a hit from a tank's main gun. The splashed stones even caused nearby players to lose their health...

This directly caused the players who were watching the scene and the cloud players watching the live broadcast to be silent for a moment.

 Subsequently a large number of barrages began to appear

 “This is the mage!”

 “Damn it! Someone is cheating!”

 “How can magic be such an inconvenience…”

 “It’s not balanced, it needs to be trimmed.”

“When will the soldiers be able to withstand this artillery fire?”

 “Is this just a fireball?”

 “Influence the balance…”

 “Influence balance +1!”

 “Is this Master Fa...”
