WTYTIAAN Chapter 207
by VolareChapter 207
Yan Yunqing patted the alchemy construct, attempting to control it mentally. This wasn’t his first try, but having not used it for a long time, he tried a few more times before succeeding.
Yan Yunqing manipulated the alchemy construct to raise its head and face him.
Receiving the command, the alchemy construct slowly raised its head, its movements a bit jerky, but it still managed to look in Yan Yunqing’s direction.
This feeling was magical, like seeing himself and the alchemy construct at the same time. Both perspectives were presented in his mind, and with a slight shift in perspective, Yan Yunqing felt a long-lost dizzy spell.
So dizzy.
A bit nauseous.
…
Yan Yunqing adapted for a while, and after finally adjusting, he felt a splitting headache. Manipulating this kind of alchemy construct did consume a lot of mental energy. He could give some suggestions to Teacher M Wei when he returned, and improve on this point.
Yan Yunqing rested for a while, set some functions for the alchemy construct, left a few magic arrays, and then put an invisible magic robe on it. He then tossed it to the place where he had previously set up his stall. As long as a player approached, it would automatically replace [Filth Hidden in the Shadows of War – Prologue] with [Filth Hidden in the Shadows of War]. Yan Yunqing could also receive a small sum of experience. Perfect.

[Is this a main quest? Is it? Is it? Did this game finally release a main quest?]
0L: Is this the first server-wide quest since the closed beta?
1L: Huh? What quest? Why don’t I know?
2L: Upstairs, you grabbed the sofa so quickly, I know you haven’t been on the game. The game released a new quest, asking us to find the profiteer Daddy. Finding him will automatically give you a quest called Filth, which is related to the Eternal Divine Church.
3L: It’s a quest given by the profiteer Daddy again! Just find the profiteer Daddy to complete a pre-quest, and the experience is so much! As expected of Daddy!
4L:The owner, This isn’t the first server-wide quest. The Frontline Battle series of quests was the first server-wide quest.
5L: Frontline Battle is a faction war quest, right? If you have to say it, it’s an event quest, which is different from the quest given by Daddy.
6L: But this quest is also related to the faction war, is it the plot of the faction war? By the way, what is the Eternal Divine Church? Can someone popularize it?
7L: A Big guy has already posted a summary of the plot of this quest. It turns out that the quest was triggered by a Big guy. The post address is here → [About this server-wide quest ‘Filth Hidden in the Shadows of War…]
……
Blue Star, G311 Military Region Base.
Since the faction war mission was issued, the entire Homecoming Research Center hasn’t stopped. Every staff member is working around the clock, wishing they could split one person into ten. The entire base is as busy as a spinning top.
Although [Yingyi] received advice from [Sunny Day] not to join any faction, how could the official people be led by the nose by a suspected alien existence? Therefore, only a small number of people followed [Sunny Day]’s advice and didn’t choose any faction. The remaining people were divided into two parts and infiltrated the inside of the two factions.
Currently, the official players are about to climb to the mainstay of the faction’s combat power. If they go deeper, it is estimated that it will evolve into a famous scene of official people fighting each other.
After all, many groups have already reported that after going to the battlefield, they found that the enemy on the opposite side was their comrade…
This sounds a bit hellish.
However, because of the faction war, the official players, who were originally very cautious and tried not to let the game characters die, resulting in a death penalty of a two-day resurrection CD, have died several times during this period.
“The body test data of soldiers who died once or twice has no significant change, but the body data of soldiers who died more than five times has changed significantly.” A man in a white coat was reporting the test results to the person in charge of the base.
“Is there any damage?” The person in charge frowned.
“No, on the contrary, the physical fitness of these soldiers has been significantly improved. Their various data have improved a lot compared to the previously recorded data, especially one of them -”
The man in the white coat flipped through the information in his hand, found one of the reports, and pointed to one of the data on it for the person in charge to see,
“The 100-meter sprint record is 9.48 seconds. The previous 100-meter sprint record for this soldier was 11.23 seconds. This record was uniformly tested before they entered Homecoming. Now, less than half a year has passed, and his 100-meter sprint has improved by nearly two seconds, even exceeding the world 100-meter sprint record.”
“And the main stat points that this soldier added in Homecoming were also agility and speed. Similarly, the physical data of the soldiers who mainly added stat points in the direction of strength in Homecoming have also been greatly improved after multiple game character deaths and resets. The direction of improvement is also consistent with the direction of stat point addition in the game.”
“We have also assumed that the improvement of the physical fitness of these soldiers is due to their own training, but the records show that because of the launch of Homecoming, they need to go to the game to complete their daily tasks, and the training intensity is far lower than before the start of the closed beta.”
“The possibility that these data improvements are due to daily training is very small.”
The person in charge looked serious, listening to the man in the white coat explain the research results during this period.
“So we tentatively believe that the game characters in “Homecoming” will continue to be mapped to the real body through some kind of channel, and the death of the characters in the game will accelerate this mapping, so it will improve the physical fitness of these soldiers in a short period of time.”
“So, according to you, this is still a good thing?” The person in charge asked in doubt.
The man in the white coat closed the folder in his hand, sighed, and shook his head, “In the short term, that’s right, but in the long term, it’s not necessarily.”
“After all, that is a different world, and our understanding of the different world is still too superficial. Now it is just the mapping of game characters to real bodies, so will other things also be mapped over with the passage of time? Such as diseases from other worlds? Disasters? Magic? And those strange creatures – things that are called magical creatures in that world.”
“So far, part of the information collected by the above has listed this possibility as a key point…” The man in the white coat said heavily, “We must be prepared for everything to develop in the worst direction, such as those magical creatures really being mapped over.”
That would be a disaster. For the technology-based Blue Star, everything in the other world is a devastating blow.
“Is there a way to curb the development of this mapping?” The person in charge’s heart also fell down, and he couldn’t help but darken his eyes when he thought of that possibility.
Just looking at the descriptions of those soldiers and the manuscripts drawn by the painter, you can see how dangerous the other world is. The reason why the players are not afraid of magical creatures is purely because they have more than one ‘life’. Death can resurrect, erasing their fear of magical creatures.
But what if those magical creatures came to Blue Star? Leaving the shell of the holographic game, from game players to real life, from being able to resurrect after death to having only one life left, those magical creatures will become the beginning of fear and nightmares.
The man in the white coat sighed, “We can only do our best – to research, but so far there is no very good way. We can only let those soldiers die as few times as possible, but you also know that this Homecoming game is not only our people who are players.”
There are also many ordinary people who have been selected to become players. These players are not official people, and there are no task indicators, so they don’t care about character death. Half a year has passed, and many players have appeared with various ‘strange’ abilities due to mapping.
What is it like to stop a speeding truck with bare hands, jump four or five meters high, and punch through an alloy iron plate?
They even specially set up a public opinion team, who take turns patrolling various social media every day with high intensity. Once they find something wrong with a player, they immediately carry out public opinion suppression, report it, and then let the official people secretly negotiate with those ordinary people who have undergone mutations.
Try to bring people back by peaceful means, sign confidentiality agreements, and maintain temporary social order.
If they encounter people who do not cooperate, who think they have obtained ‘abilities’ and are about to become the protagonist and embark on the pinnacle of life, the officials have to take coercive measures. After all, if such a person with powerful lethality and harm to society is allowed to wander around, no one can say what bad things will happen.
Don’t mention it, they even met someone last time who thought they would become the ‘Kami’ of the new world and were preparing to judge their ex-girlfriend who abandoned them. The official people narrowly detained the other party before they were about to act, avoiding a young girl from being harmed.
Just these thousands of players have made them so passive. They can’t imagine what this still harmonious society will become if the number of players continues to increase.
“The number of deaths of those players far exceeds our soldiers. If this continues, their mapping degree will deepen. I am afraid that ordinary police officers will not be able to stop their actions. They must be replaced by soldiers who have also been mapped to go…”
However, the words are back again. If the official people want to control other players and prevent them from doing anything shocking, and ordinary police officers cannot restrict the mutated players who are about to become Superman, then they must be replaced by the soldiers who have also been mapped. If they want to be stronger than the mutated players, they must also continue to map, that is, continue to die…
This violates their purpose of wanting to control the number of deaths and slow down the mapping process.
It is not possible to go forward, and it is not possible to retreat. It is simply putting them on the fire and roasting them!
The person in charge also understood what the man in the white coat wanted to express, frowned and thought, this is indeed a problem, “If we control the number of deaths of other players, fundamentally solve the problem… Tsk, no.”
The person in charge denied the assumption himself before he finished speaking. Players are indeed a group that cannot be controlled. They cannot possibly issue an announcement to force these players not to die in the game, right?
Maybe after learning about what would happen if they died in the game, those players would rush to die in the game and then become ‘supermen’ in reality. Who didn’t have a superman dream when they were young?
This is an unsolvable problem.
The only thing that can be done is to continuously strengthen the overall strength of the country and cultivate one or more strong armies. If there is a day when a magical creature is mapped over, they must also have the power to fight.
“I will continue to let the people below monitor those players. If there is any change, I will immediately control them. Please also trouble you to continue to study the changes in the bodies of the soldiers. Maybe you can find a way to control the mapping?”
The person in charge smiled bitterly. Although he said so, he didn’t have much hope in his heart. It is known that the holographic game Homecoming is elusive and suspected to be an alien product. They have put a lot of effort into packaging Homecoming as a game and launching it on Blue Star. They must have their purpose. Mapping may be one of their purposes.
This kind of mysterious means is difficult to prevent, so how can we find a way to curb the mapping?
Maybe there really is one, but it is difficult for them to really find it in a limited time, and in the end they can only take one step at a time.
The person in charge and the man in the white coat looked at each other and couldn’t help sighing.
This kind of unequal power suppression is really powerless.
“Chief!” An assistant-dressed man ran over in a hurry, stopped in front of the person in charge, panting, “News from the other side, the Homecoming official website released another closed beta update announcement. This time, there will be no downtime for the update, and 40,000 new closed beta players will be added!”
What?!
The person in charge and the man in the white coat both showed stunned expressions.
