The game store has launched an "activity limited-time gift pack", and the props opened from it can be a great help to players in the dungeon.
The news spread like wildfire to all the villages and also to the gaming forums.
However, unlike game players who use props as weapons to earn points, netizens in the forum prefer to watch players use these props to prank their opponents.
Common name: watching the fun.
“Ah~ha~ha~this player has both his hands stuck in the soil, with a look of doubt on his face. I can laugh for a whole year! Other people use their hands to grab vegetables, but he uses his hands to test the moisture content of the soil, hahaha!”
"That invincible golden body is also very powerful. Not only can it protect the vegetables in the basket, but it can also knock anyone it touches out. After reading this post, I have seen 108 different ways of being thrown out. It's so funny!"
"The design of the white and red potions is also great! They can be used when it's least expected and can play a huge role at a critical moment. I heard that a non-African player only got these two from the gift pack, but he used them to great effect, not only fooling his opponents, but also successfully getting the most points in a game."
"I like the invisibility cloak. Once I put it on, no one will love me! It's a pity that the duration is too short. It loses its effect after 30 seconds..."
"Wow, that 'jumping water' is so cute. I don't know if you've noticed that the little feet that grow out of each plant are actually different. The wheat is shaped like broom ears, the corn uses two corn kernels as feet, the pumpkin has 'wheels' growing under its chassis, and the strawberry walks upside down... I never knew that our Li Li is still such a childlike kid!"
The topic deviated from this point, and bored netizens began to discuss the small details they had discovered and waited for even funnier scramble scenes to occur.
All the game anchors started live streaming their performances in the event, which attracted huge traffic and made a lot of money.
When Bai Li came online again, he was faced with even more resentful looks from players in the same village. They said the famous saying that was circulating in the forum.
"If you are not motivated to make money, there is something wrong with your thinking! Li Li, how could you forget to tell us something as important as the event props? Do you look down on our wallets?"
Wen Xingyao couldn't help laughing as he stood aside waiting to see how Bai Li would respond to this group of players.
However, after understanding what happened, Bai Li thought about it and explained to the players, "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry when I posted the announcement and accidentally forgot about the existence of those props. I didn't think about it when I participated in the event in the early morning. But after everyone uses up their free times and starts to complete the tasks, someone will get those props from the NPC. After that, with everyone's intelligence, they will definitely find them in the game store. Even if I don't remind you, it should be fine, right? We are actually still at the same starting line."
The sincere apology left the players speechless. At the same time, they also realized that although the person in front of them was the designer of the game and a member of their village, his identity meant that he was responsible for all the players in all villages.
If Bai Li only reminded the players in their village after the event started, it would be unfair to the players in other villages. It would be best if they didn't say anything.
The interstellar people are affected by the gene collapse syndrome and sometimes lose their minds. But when they maintain their normal state, they can still think calmly, not only considering their own interests, but also considering others.
Therefore, they quickly retracted their resentful expressions and sincerely apologized to Bai Li: "I'm sorry, Li Li, we shouldn't have forced you. Your approach is correct. We were too dark in our thinking."
It was really just an accidental forgetting, Bai Li didn’t think too much when he spoke: “?”
No, when did you force me? How come I didn’t know? And have I done anything special? Why do you think I am a dark person?
He watched the group of players go away with a confused look on his face, and foresaw a future in which they would spread what he had said. He always felt that these people seemed to have misunderstood something and were overthinking it.
"Let them be. It's a good thing for you that they think this way." Wen Xingyao walked over and comforted Bai Li.
Bai Li thought about it and realized that he had said everything he should have said, but he accidentally forgot it. Apart from making him earn less, it didn't have much impact. Even if the players felt that they had lost the extra points they should have earned in the previous few times, he could still make changes to the points required to redeem them when the subsequent item redemption list came out.
In short, the players will not suffer any loss.
So he put the matter aside and went out to complete the mission with Wen Xingyao.
The two of them were not very lucky that day. Not only did they not get the biggest Easter egg reward and extra game opportunities, but they only got three special props in total.
This made the other players who were secretly watching the two of them feel happy. It turned out that the big players' luck was not that good when it came to the event. The rewards they got from completing the tasks were not as much as theirs. After all, they could get three or four extra props each, hehe.
The corners of the players' mouths were raised wildly, and even the players who had teamed up with them in the previous games thought that they looked handsome. Hey, it's just a few vegetables that were stolen, just forgive them generously!
As soon as the decision was made, Bai Li and Wen Xingyao walked quickly past them, and they heard every word of their conversation.
"Let's find a quiet corner and prepare to buy the 'limited event gift packs'. I just heard from others that one dungeon requires about three or four gift packs. We still have seven chances today. Should we buy fifty gift packs first?"
"Are fifty enough? I feel like our luck isn't very good today. How about buying 100?"
The players who heard the tycoon’s speech: “…………”
Damn it, I forgot that these two are Star Warriors with cheats! What's the big deal about bad luck? They have money, they can save themselves from their unlucky status by spending money!
The players felt their moods were really up and down, and immediately frowned, and started to complain wildly in their hearts. These two big guys' calculations must be bad, how did they calculate that they needed to buy fifty or one hundred limited gift packs? Even if they have money, they can't spend it like this QAQ!
It's such a waste, such a waste. I really want to punish them as a player of justice, and ask them to hand over the extra gift packs and give them to these poor ghosts.
He looked up and once again faced his opponents from the previous games. The anger that had just been suppressed erupted even more violently. With new and old grudges added together, it didn't take long for several group fights to break out near the village chief's house.
After the fight, the players just felt relaxed physically and mentally, and went back to continue the game arm in arm. No one could tell that before this they had quarreled like fighting cocks over the ownership of a vegetable or a few onions.
Humph, they are not fighting because of hatred towards the rich!
In an inconspicuous corner, Bai Li winked at Wen Xingyao. Wen Xingyao quickly realized that Bai Li had said that on purpose when he passed by that group of players before, and he followed his words and said something even more infuriating.
Now seeing Bai Li's cunning smile, Wen Xingyao felt a faint agitation in his heart. He wanted to do something, but was unable to do anything due to the current environment.
Finally, it turned into a long sigh helplessly: "You..."
The first day of the "Food Grabbing Battle" event ended successfully as players worked hard to complete tasks, spent money crazily, and actively participated in the competition.
After 24:00, the current total points ranking of all players in the village quietly appeared on the bulletin board. The top 50 players were successfully determined and obtained tickets for the "rematch" at 12 noon the next day.
As for the rules of the semi-finals, they will be announced to the contestants half an hour before the start of the game.
During the period when the game starts, players can continue to play the game. After all, the number of games will be refreshed after midnight.
The players who did not make it into the top 50 woke up as if from a dream and went straight to complete the mission. Anyway, the other competitions had nothing to do with them. If they had the chance, they would just go to the live broadcast rooms of the successfully selected anchors to watch the fun.
Bai Li and Wen Xingyao were among the last few to be selected for the semi-finals. Although they played very calmly, they were in the top three in almost every game because they had maxed out their krypton gold bars, and their total points in the end exceeded 2,700 points.
Looking around, many of the top 50 players are familiar faces. Huaibi, Songcuimianmian, Yuexun, What are you doing, Give me a bowl of rice and others are among them, while Song Xinran, Tang Ying, Xiong Pili and others are stuck outside the top 50. It can be seen that there are still many talented people or Star Warriors among the villagers of "Mushroom Village".
The situation in other villages is similar. Players who made it into the top 50 are full of confidence, and those who didn't make it are still full of motivation. Before the list of redeemable props is released, they can continue to work hard! Every drop of sweat they shed for points now will become a great contributor to their favorite redemption in the future!
Zhu Moling looked at his good result of being ranked first in Novice Village No. 66, and a determined smile appeared on his face. His luck was as good as ever. Not only did he get special props every time he completed a task, but he also got an extra game opportunity after completing one of the tasks. With luck and strength, who else could be the first in this village?
Fox One and Fox Two were also among the top 50. However, what made them more gratified than entering the semi-finals was that they were finally able to use up some of the game funds given to them by the clan leader by purchasing "limited event gift packs".
Woo woo woo, this is really not easy!
It’s just that the price of a gift pack is too cheap. Even if they buy 100 of them, they will only spend 3,000 star dollars... Alas.
Si Yue and Ke Ke felt that they were the rise of grassroots people. They had fought their way out among a bunch of wealthy people by relying on the ten "limited event gift packs" each.
The two sisters gathered together and laughed, saying that after the event was over, they might go to the game forum and create a special thread to analyze for other players how they managed to get the most points with the least resources.
The "Let's Farm Together" group of Lin Wenhuan, Qi Jiaan and five other sisters was also very lively at this time. They were scattered in different novice villages, and only Lin Wenhuan made it into the top 50 in the end. But this did not prevent the other girls from having a heated discussion, and they encouraged Lin Wenhuan to compete well and make them proud.
Lin Wenhuan clenched her fist and said that she would work hard, as her ultimate goal was to get a spot in the game.
As all the players were looking forward to it, the time came to 11:30 on March 16. The players who had qualified for the semi-finals received the competition rules sent to them by the system. Afterwards, the game anchors who entered the semi-finals announced these rules in their live broadcast rooms.
The rematch takes the form of a "100-person maze", in which a total of 10,000 players are randomly assigned to 100 mazes. There is only one exit in the maze, but the number of complex routes is too numerous to count.
Before entering the maze, players can randomly select 10 crops to carry. Each crop is worth 50 points and has different functions. For example, wheat can speed up the player three times in one minute, potatoes can allow players to pass through a wall, and vegetables can display the map of the entire maze for three seconds... Crops between players can be snatched.
The competition time is 60 minutes. If you can get out of the maze within 60 minutes, you will get extra points as a reward. Then the total number of crops owned by the player will be added for comprehensive ranking. The top 50 players out of 10,000 will enter the final.
At the end of the competition rules, the system also directly announced the location of the finals, which is the mysterious "ancient city" that no player has ever entered after this month's major upgrade.
As soon as this news came out, the entire network was shocked, and netizens and players were rubbing their hands in anticipation. Although it was still the second day of the competition, their hearts had already flown to the third day.
Everyone was extremely interested in the ancient city. Some of them were smart enough to tag the experts and professors who specialized in studying the history of the ancient Blue Planet on the Star Blog, asking them to watch the live broadcast and see if the "ancient city" in the game was the same as the one they were studying.
This move received a lot of responses.
After understanding the specific rules of the game and selecting the ten crops they needed, at 12 o'clock, the players were teleported into the special maze map on time.
During this hour, all the players stopped what they were doing and, together with the netizens, flocked into the live broadcast room of the anchor who was lucky enough to enter the semi-finals, watching the game with great interest.
Bai Li has reached a cooperation with these anchors. After entering the maze map, the anchors will temporarily lose control of the camera and will not be able to view the screen in the live broadcast room. The camera will be suspended above the maze, and the audience will be able to see all the scenes in the maze from a bird's-eye view.
Famous scenes continue to emerge.
A male player was surrounded by five female players with "bad intentions". He shouted "Don't come over here". He suddenly used the wheat that could speed him up while trembling. He rushed out of the encirclement of these fierce women and left in a cloud of dust. Only a long and spectacular dust trail was left, indicating that he had appeared.
Audience: "Hahahaha! You can't do that, brother. You may have missed a romantic encounter. Maybe they just want to be friends with you."
Another player finally broke down after seeing a wall in front of him for 10 consecutive times, and took out his "vegetables" to check the map of the entire maze. However, because the pattern would only be displayed for three seconds, he took several deep breaths before getting ready and choosing to use it. As a result, it took only three seconds for him to go from ecstatic to blank expression, and when the picture disappeared, he fell into deeper confusion.
What was that that just appeared? Oh, it was his winding life path!
Audience: "Pfft! I thought this item would be a good thing, but it's totally useless in front of ordinary people! It seems that many players chose vegetables. I hope they won't use them, otherwise it will be a waste of 50 points."
At a certain fork in the road, a heroic-looking female player frowned her pretty brows when faced with three choices, and then took out a "bean" from her backpack. As soon as the long green plant was put down, it seemed to have life, suspended in the air, first twisting a few times like a worm, and then the whole body straightened, pointing in the direction of the road on the right.
After the result came out, it only stayed for a few seconds before disappearing completely. The audience then realized that the function of this crop was to point the player in the right direction. Sure enough, with the help of the beans, the female player went in the right direction, and when she came to a fork in the road again, she took out a brand new "bean" from her backpack.
Players: "666, this item is simply cheating. Fortunately, the maze is big enough. Players have to go through dozens of choices to get out. And the fewer items, the fewer points they can get in the end. Otherwise, this girl could have gotten out of the maze just by relying on beans!"
…
As the game progresses, the players who keep trying and making mistakes gradually move closer to the exit. The closer they are to the exit, the more frequent the fights between players.
Someone reached a dead end and wanted to go back to where he came from, but he found three strangers following him silently, cornering him and robbing him before leaving.
There were also people who were on the verge of victory, but did not notice that the slippery road surface under their feet was actually the oil squeezed from "sesame seeds". They slipped and fell, causing severe pain in their tailbone. Another person who was lying in ambush in the dark walked forward leisurely, and under the resentful eyes of the former who had lost his ability to move, he harvested the remaining three props of the former.
There were also people who had been cooperating all the way, and when they were about to reach the exit and began to look forward to the better life after the finals, they were attacked from behind by their companions. After being stiff for a few seconds, they stood up to fight back and a fierce fight broke out.
"What the hell do you mean? Didn't we agree to cooperate? I'm almost at the exit, and you dare to sneak attack me! I'm going to fight you!"
"Hehe, competition comes first, friendship comes second. Don't say that we are a temporary cooperative relationship. Even if my brothers are here, I will still make a sneak attack. If I win, it means I have the ability. If I lose, it means I am not as skilled as others. Come on, brothers, let's have a good fight~"
"Oh, you're just relying on the fact that we're not from the same village. If we were from the same village, you'd dare to do this. Hurry up and tell me your exact address. Don't keep nagging me in the game. If you're brave enough, let's fight in real life! In other words, do you dare?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Listen carefully. I live at No. XX, XX Road, XX District, XX City, Tiger Pepper Star! Just tell me your game ID when you come. I'm not afraid of you!"
“#￥%……&*()”
“*&￥#%@#￥”
The audience was so annoyed that they thought, "Can't the players of this year afford to play? How can they look so childish? They are already fighting in the game, and they are actually going to have another fight in real life. One dares to ask, and the other dares to accept. They are really something."
In response, some belligerent viewers said: "Brothers, do you support anyone watching? We can cheer for you from the sidelines~"
Suddenly, someone spotted the figure of the game maker Bai Li in the densely packed 100 live broadcast rooms, and immediately called his friends to watch. Then they soon discovered that this big guy and his good brother Yaoxing were assigned to the same maze. What a fate!
Soon, the audience began to praise the beautiful brotherhood between the two, which attracted many voices of approval.
One viewer suggested in the barrage: "Let's make a bet. Can Li Bai and Yao Xing meet before leaving the maze? After they meet, will they fight because of competition?"
"Let me say it first! I think they will meet and fight! Alas, are we going to witness the historic moment of the two big guys turning against each other today?"
"But the maze is so big that Master Yaoxing can reach the exit in just two more intersections. Although Li Li is only separated from Yaoxing by a wall, she still has to pass through at least four intersections. It must take a lot of time just to be on the road, right? It's unlikely that they will meet."
"Hehe, they were both assigned to the same maze. This is fate, right? I bet they will not only meet, but also work together to get out of the maze~"
Many people support the above three viewpoints. When the audience was frantically expressing their opinions in the barrage, Bai Li seemed to have noticed something and shouted loudly, "Yaoxing, is it you?" After confirming the identity, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and then he took something out of his backpack.
A round, grey potato that lets the player walk through a wall.
Bai Li used it without hesitation, and his feet naturally crashed into the earth wall.
Then, the audience in the live broadcast room watched as Yao Xing opened his arms towards the wall. When their Li Li rushed over from the other side of the wall, she bumped into Yao Xing. The arms that were opened were tightened, and one of Yao Xing's hands gently rubbed Li Li's head.
With that intimate action, it seemed as if tangible pink flowers appeared around the two of them.
They let go quickly after the hug, but the audience stared at the two people's hands that were still holding together and couldn't help but doubt their own judgment.
Is this what they thought was the touching “brotherhood”???
What a joke! If these two weren't a couple, they would chop off their own heads and kick them like balls!
