You didn't follow the routine at all, did you?

real world.

4400, February 3, late.

"Dust Knell" has been transferred to the game library, with a total of ten strategy opportunities.

The new version has just been launched, and there are too few SS-level VIP coupons produced. Qualification for the game depends entirely on hand speed.

Fortunately, the officials are professionals after all and have been stationed there. Most of the 30,000 spots were taken away by Dragon Blade and Daybreak.

At this time, in the capital's offline operations center, Chu Muchen and Bai Ge were summarizing the intelligence collected this month for a meeting.

Two homemade maps and a very complex mind map were projected on the big screen.

The method used by Chu Muchen to open up wasteland was a very orthodox trial and error method of stacking corpses, which started at the beginning of last month.

Since "Dust Knell" is an event copy and has a 7-day CD, it takes more than a week for the same player to enter the copy twice. When the copy is transferred to the game library, there is another 30-day strategy period, which leads to the same wasteland development. A group can only play the copy a maximum of eight times within two months of its existence.

Chu Muchen didn't think he could pass the level in eight chances, so he organized an additional twenty groups, nearly eighteen thousand people, to take turns to open up wasteland.

After the first group finds the key clues in the first stage, they ask a player to commit suicide and bring out the information. The second group goes directly to complete the task. After the task is completed, the information in the second stage is brought out.

If the second group is destroyed, then review the process of group destruction, protect the third group from lightning, and fight again until the first stage goal is completed and the second stage is entered.

Through repeated relays like this, they can get the most information as quickly as possible.

At the same time, major guilds, forums and other communication sections also have dedicated people responsible for collecting information.

Chu Muchen wants to combine the wasteland development experience of all players in the server to formulate a strategy plan that is as perfect as possible.

This is also the reason why he has not entered the book until now.

The two main land reclamation groups of Dragon Blade and Daybreak have been waiting since they visited this book half a month ago.

The demand for combat power in Dust Death Knell is indeed very high, so high that the gap between top players and ordinary players cannot be widened.

The instant death mechanism of the dungeon is equal to all beings. There is not much difference between 200+ attributes and 300+ attributes. If something goes wrong, you will die the same way.

Therefore, the correct strategy is more important than combat power.

The good news is that Chu Muchen has found this "correct way".

Not to say it is 100% correct, but at least it is close to ten. They can officially start the strategy tonight.

The bad news is that even with the right strategy, Dust Knell is still very difficult to complete.

"The first stage requires the removal of the Dark City in the Sandworm Basin. If the divinity is less than level 1, it will take 5-7 days. The survival rate is about 70%." Chu Muchen said with his hands on the podium.

He didn't know the divine effects after level 4, but he could try out the damage.

Players who successfully pass the second stage and raise their divinity to level 1 in the main city will deal 40-60 times more damage to sandworms than before. As long as they are not touched by sandworms, the player can complete the task in a short time. Solo kill.

The level of divinity from 0 to 1 is a huge increase in combat power.

As we all know, Xiaopoyou's copy does not have an air wall, which means that even if the Dark City is not destroyed and the second phase of the mission is not started, players can still enter the second phase of the mission area.

In other words, they could take Divinity first, and then work backwards and push Dark City.

"So the first thing we did after entering this place was not to attack the Dark City, but to enter the passage invisibly and touch into the old main city." Chu Muchen said.

The location of the passage has been marked on the map, as well as the old main city on another map.

Not counting towers and prison camps, there are about 20,000 to 30,000 jailors in the city, which is not a lot in terms of population density. But the trouble is that they are too scattered. There are people in almost every area, and players cannot stick together, otherwise It's easy to catch them all in one fell swoop.

The divinity reduced by the bells can be offset by colored pills. They have to stay in the city for more than 4 days. These 4 days can only rely on the player's own personal ability and cannot be discovered by the jailer. At the same time, they must resist the negative effects of the bells. .

At this stage, Chu Muchen estimated that the survival rate was above 90%. After all, they had already mastered the effects of the first round of bells, and they also knew a little about the second round.

Theoretically, the bell effect is random, but this is only for NPCs. For players, the dungeon is infinitely rolled back. No matter how many times the dungeon is entered, the bell effect on the same day will be the same.

They have already made sufficient preparations.

"After obtaining the divinity, we will return to the Wailing Desert to cancel the first stage, and leave a team of people in the desert to prevent the jailer from investigating the situation."

This is the second step, buying time for the release of prisoners in the third phase.

With divinity, the battle losses in attacking the Dark City will be greatly reduced, and about 80% of the people should be left.

The next step is to move the tiger away from the mountain and fight with thousands of people. This stage is one of the two most difficult parts of Dust Death Knell.

It is connected with the next two stages. They must initiate a team battle as soon as the bell rings and the shadow of the old god who rings the bell leaves, end the battle within 24 hours and occupy the main city, otherwise When the shadow of the old god comes the next day, what awaits them is the destruction of the group.

More than 30,000 people fight against more than 50,000 people. Even if the prisoners are stronger than the jailers, it is not an easy task. During this period, they have to find ways to destroy the defense devices of the old main city in advance. This news comes from the group.

Chu Muchen kept staring at the group and came out to ask each one.

Compared with the first pass, most players understand that the most important thing is to prevent the copy from coming.

No one would deliberately conceal information. Players like Braised Pork who died first provided Chu Muchen with many key clues. After repeated proofreading, he had basically figured out the entire dungeon strategy process.

Why the Shadow of Fooling suddenly appeared in Braised Pork and others did not understand. Chu Muchen could only attribute it to a mechanism that was not handled well, and he could not guess what the mechanism was.

However, after knowing this in advance, the mechanism is not that important. They can try to control the time of attacking the main city and capture the main city before the sun comes up. This way, even if the Shadow of the Old God comes first, Deathstroke will not wait too long. .

And when the death knell appears, we reach the biggest difficulty of the copy.

Including prisoners, they may only have 10%-20% of their people left after the war, and they haven't had time to rest.

They had to spread out their positions, with some hiding first, while others took turns taking prisoners to die.

The logistics players are sent first, and the players with lower combat power follow up, one team after another, trying to attract the attention of the Shadow of the Old God as much as possible, delaying time, and giving the hidden high-combat players a chance to steal the clock.

Chu Muchen didn't know whether the output was enough, so he could only try it before deciding.

Don’t worry if you haven’t played this time. They still have at least two chances, and their strategy can be optimized.

"I'm not telling you, is the difficulty of this dungeon a little too high?" A player at the bottom complained, "Five stages, each stage has more than one group destruction point, this is really only one level higher than S SS? The span is too big."

"Yeah, why not?" the female player next to him said, "SS, S squared."

Everyone: "..."

"I just want to know how to play this book before the new version." Lietianweng was very dissatisfied with Xiao Poyou.

Even though they have figured out the dungeon so clearly now, this is all based on being able to survive the first night.

Without the new version of the divine explosive potion, they would have no time to collect intelligence, and it would be impossible for them to go to the old main city to gain divine power and then go back to fight the first stage.

The probability of clearing the level without divinity is almost zero, and can even be crossed out almost.

The only chance that Lietrois can think of is that a player dug a tunnel into the base and happened to dig at the corresponding location, accidentally discovering a passage connecting the front and back of the continent.

But is this possible?

They are playing games, not fighting.

"actually……"

Chu Mu paused for a moment and said, "The previous version also had colored explosives, but we didn't find them."

"Has anyone published this copy before?" Lie Tianweng asked.

Chu Muchen said helplessly: "It's not made from original materials, it's synthesized."

When he has free time during this period, he often thinks about how to play the previous version of Dust Death Knell. Since Xiaopoyou has released this version, it means that players at this stage have the possibility to pass the level.

A few days ago, he was playing with small colored pills in his hand - this was purely a personal habit. Chu Muchen liked to play with something while thinking. As he was playing with it, his eyes fell on the pills and found that "colorful pills" Every color in "" looks familiar and seems to be seen often.

So he had a sudden idea and threw one of each type of small pills that would drop a lot every time he played the book into the tempering grid according to the color, and then synthesized a new small colored pill...

Everyone: "?"

"How the hell does this count as a strategy strategy?"

"I'm convinced, what kind of setting in the underworld!"

"Can I report Xiaopoyou to Xiaopoyou?"

Players complained.

To be honest, Chu Muchen was quite speechless at the time.

The function of tempering itself is not cheap. Generally, only veteran players with a lot of freedom can use it, and most of them are tempered equipment and some common props.

Even if you get rid of a bunch of old guys who just love to have fun, just tempering horns or something like that, who will temper explosives if nothing happens?

Unless you are blessed to a certain extent, you will never be able to discover this hidden setting.

But he had to admit that the customs clearance method did exist objectively.

In addition, Xiao Po is used to traveling to the underworld, so it seems normal to have this kind of setting.

In addition, there were items in the bag with names prefixed by gods that seemed to be able to withstand the ringing of the bells. However, Chu Mu decided to investigate carefully. It was enough to have explosive potions. There was no need to worry about inferior substitutes that could not be mass-produced.

"After comprehensive calculation, the clearance rate of the previous version of Dust Death Knell is about 1 in 17.72 million." Chu Mu said solemnly.

Baige: "Are you buying a double-color ball?"

Chu Muchen: "Isn't the probability of accidentally discovering a passage or accidentally synthesizing colored pills the same as buying a special general in a two-color ball?"

Baige: "..."

A very apt metaphor.

Chu Muchen: "Maybe this is the reason why Chen Chen's death knell did not come to punish him at that time."

Xiao Poyou also felt that they couldn't survive, so he let Ben out to watch their fun.

"Then what's our clearance rate now?" Bai Ge asked.

Chu Muchen: "No more than 5%."

Theory is always theory. Knowing how to fight does not necessarily mean you can fight. In addition to the inherent plot and settings, there are also various emergencies in the dungeon. Failure to handle them well may lead to the destruction of the team.

You don’t even need to destroy the group, because the final stage requires piles of corpses. As long as the number of players and prisoners drops to a certain level, you can basically restart directly.

Chu Muchen didn't think that hundreds of thousands of people could withstand the attack of the shadow of the old god and defeat the death knell.

However, after you complete the game once and experience the relevant content, your chances of passing the game will increase a lot.

As with anything, the first time is always the hardest.

"When will we enter the book?" Lietrois asked.

"Wait a moment." Chu Mu said solemnly, "The bad guy should be dead soon."

If you ask more questions, you can get some more information.

Baige: "What stage have they reached?"

Chu Muchen: "The final stage."

Bai Ge was surprised: "So awesome?"

Such a complex and difficult copy was pushed to the final stage in one go?

Chu Muchen: "..."

If someone is cheating, can you not be awesome?

According to Braised Pork and others, they jumped through two stages as soon as they entered the city. Gu Yuan also used a seemingly forbidden ultimate move to level the main city. They almost lay down the whole time.

Chu Muchen actually doesn't believe in the term "cheating". It is just an exaggerated adjective. Based on his understanding of Gu Yuan, it is more likely that there are a few bugs. The final battle may have started early because of this. .

"They won't clear the dungeon, right?" Mo Mi said with a smile.

Chu Muchen: "They encountered the shadow of the old god nearly 20 hours in advance without the death knell. What do you think?"

Everyone: "?"

That's okay.

There is a vague but clear division of force levels in their intelligence.

The weakest level is Jailer and Sandworm, which can be defeated by level 1 divinity, and the winning rate of top players is very high.

The second level is the Warden and the Twelve Priests. The former can win with a few more people, while the latter needs to use containment tactics. Players draw hatred and let prisoners with higher divinity deal with it, and the winning rate is not low.

The first level is Shadow of the Old God, and the winning rate drops to 0.

Big data shows that no team that encounters the Shadow of the Old God can persist for half an hour.

Not to mention fighting, you can't even run.

As long as the Shadow of the Old God appears, it means that the players have entered a countdown to death. Even if more than 30,000 people enter the final stage, it is impossible to survive 20 hours-two hours is enough.

"Alas." Lietrois sighed, "What a pity."

He doesn't care whether it's the first pass or not, as long as a team passes the level, it's good.

"It doesn't matter, there's still us!" Bai Ge cheered everyone up.

They have so much information, and their performance will definitely not be worse than that of a bad team.

Everyone discussed for a while. Chu Muchen looked at his watch and calculated that the time difference should be almost the same. He said, "You can prepare first and adjust your condition."

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the status of a row of players in the friend list changed from "in game" to "online" one after another.

Lao Litou and others published copies one after another.

Chu Muchen accurately predicted the "survival time and process" of the group that was destroyed, so they must be very tired from the fight.

But he didn't guess the result.

Chu Mu asked in the group: "How is it?"

Old Li Tou: "It's finished."

These three words were all expected by Chu Muchen. It would be strange to meet the shadow of the old god so long in advance.

But who would have thought that Lao Litou added another picture right after, and said very unhappy: "I only got [clearance rating: A]."

Chu Muchen: "?"

Customs clearance evaluation?

Clearance? ?

Then, more settlement pictures flooded the screen in the group.

Chengcheng couldn't wake up: "/Crying, me too [clearance rating: A]."

Yemao Han: "/Rage, [clearance rating: B], that bitch blew me, ten times in a row!!"

Sexy uncle: “/呲ya, it’s not me, [clearance rating: A].”

Second-hand dealer: "/I feel wronged, I am [clearance rating: B]!"

Xia Leng, who was in a good mood, also joined in the fun: "[Complete rating: S]."

During the bell ringing stage, everyone was building a team, but no one dared to go to Xia Leng.

Just kidding, she is both a goddess and the wife of the Emperor of Heaven, who dares to compete with her?

Yuyuko: "/Cute, so am I [clearance rating: S]!"

Her dance against the light finally came into play at the last moment of this episode.

Relying on her super fast attack speed, Youyouzi was almost invisible throughout the whole process, and no one noticed her at all. Her clock damage was only slightly lower than Xia Leng's. Most of the points at this stage fell into the pockets of the two of them.

In the third stage, the girl was the number one hero again. She liberated two to three thousand prisoners by herself. Her S score was higher than Xia Leng's S score.

Chu Muchen, who was staying out of the incident, was already buzzing with the series of screenshots showing the ratings.

What's the meaning?

There are settlement diagrams for all of them. Is this really a level pass? ?

"Ding!"

A sparkling announcement popped up.

I don’t know why, but Xiaopoyou’s announcement was a little slower this time than last time.

[Server-wide announcement]

[Congratulations to players "Gu Yuan, You Youzi, Qing Chi, Lao Li Tou, All Night Unhappy..." for completing the first pass of the SS-level copy "Dust Death Knell"! 】

[As the first team in the world to clear the SS-level dungeon, we will give each of them "Gate to the Kingdom of God"*1 as an additional reward]

[The relevant lists will be opened simultaneously with global rankings such as Pure Land Area and Divinity after the next update]

[At the same time, we will also actively prepare more difficult dungeons for players to challenge, so stay tuned! 】

Looking at the 24K pure gold bulletin board in front of him, Lietrois slowly raised a question mark: "?"

Players who were putting on equipment and preparing to enter the game also raised question marks: "???"

"what's the situation?"

They haven't entered the book yet, but they have already mastered it? ?

The world exploded in an instant.

The number one pretty boy in Kyushu: "Fuck!"

Explosive knife skills: "Fuck!!"

Sharp right angle: "I, Cao Cao, got the first pass?!"

I am in the air force: "It's Gu Yuan again!"

Anonymous A: "And Yuyuko!"

These two IDs that are familiar to many people even outshine the goddess Qingchi.

It was them last time, and it's them this time!

Moreover, Gu Yuan is ranked first, which means that his clearance score is the highest among all, and he deserves the most credit.

Chu Muchen was a little confused.

Can the game be cleared even if the Shadow of the Old God appears 20 hours in advance?

Doesn't this coincide with the time of the death knell?

Could it be that Braised Pork and others didn't lie to him and Gu Yuan was really angry? ?

…

Asking for a monthly ticket! !

(Personally, I feel that the difficulty of this book is moderate, right? You can pass it without Gu Chi, but it is more time-consuming and requires multiple explorations to collect intelligence)
