[Spartacus (Lv3)]: Oh my god, it's still Season 1, things are getting more and more interesting
[Tim (Lv3)]: When I saw these words on the homepage, my god, it was so creepy...
[Xiaobei (Lv3)]: Damn it!
[Blue Knight (Lv3)]: I'm like you. At first I thought I was seeing things, but the graphics in these games are getting weirder and weirder.
[Warriors guard Chris Cannon (Lv3)]: I'm curious about what the competitions in Season 1 will be like? What format will they take?
[Small House (Lv3)]: Confused
[Zhou Gongjin (Lv3)]: I also want to ask
[Mr. Bucai Youshan (Lv3)]: I don’t know, but let’s just raise our expectations to the maximum!
…
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: Actually, we can make a prediction. Have you noticed? The real-life version of "Insect Tide Online" we're playing right now is pretty much the same as every other game we've played. Nothing is beyond our comprehension for now, so this so-called "Season 1" is likely within our comprehension range.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: Seasons in games, especially online ones, are essentially ranked matches. The purpose is to rank players, assign them ranks, and distribute rewards based on their points. Ranks and rankings are a symbol of honor. With this setup, players unconsciously engage in competitive play, grinding or spending money, thinking, "You're better than me? I refuse to accept it. I want to be better than you!" This achieves the game's purpose. Therefore, I speculate that "Season 1" is a ranked match between players. As for how points are earned, I suspect it will be related to bugs and natural disasters. After all, this is the theme of the game, and no matter how bizarre the game is, it cannot deviate from the theme.
[Doraemon (Lv3)]: Great, great, great
[Let’s Play Bad (Lv3)]: I find your speeches are always full of valuable information.
[I'm a strong player and I won't pretend anymore (Lv3)]: Your analysis makes a lot of sense. I now seriously doubt that you are just a lousy planner, right?
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: No...
[Promising Youth (Lv3)]: What? Ranked Match?
[Jade Unicorn (Lv3)]: The difference can only be distinguished in player-versus-player confrontations. It's not the kind of PVP confrontation where you gain points if you win and lose points if you lose, like in MOBA games.
[Bucai Youshan (Lv3)]: If this is really pvp, @(Cx330) must be the strongest king.
[Mr. Bucai Youshan (Lv3)]: I don’t care. I want to team up with @(Cx330)!
[Tang Sixi (Lv3)]: You sound like you're being taken seriously (rolling eyes.jpg)
[Mr. Bucai Youshan (Lv3)]: To be honest, I am the strongest king in the first zone of the national server when playing lol, and I am nicknamed the mid-lane devil.
[Tang Sixi (Lv3)]: ...You are the king of words
[Mr. Bucai Youshan (Lv3)]: If you don't insult me, you'll die. You can check your battle record.
[Dorahale (Lv3)]: I've been observing you for a long time. Are you a young couple flirting?
[Tang Sixi (Lv3)]: Pah! Pah! Evil!
[Mr. Bucai Youshan (Lv3)]: Look, I’m giving you beauty
[Lee (Lv3)]: But to be honest, I really want to form a team now. One person's ability is too limited. Many times I feel that I am unable to do it. Alas!
[Gongyang Zixun (Lv3)]: My scalp goes numb whenever I see the word "team up". Wake up, brother, stop talking about team up all the time. Have you all forgotten that player who killed so many people before?
[0936 (Lv3)]: I agree. I think it is absolutely safe to join an alliance team because allies are immune to damage, so you don’t have to worry about backstabs, and there are additional benefits.
[0936 (Lv3)]: Wow, I want to join the alliance, but the key person doesn’t want me!
[High Plant (Lv3)]: By the way, why is it that the boss’s alliance “Hailou” still has only one person?
[Wild Dog (Lv3)]: Why else? He looks down on us weaklings.
[Madbusy (Lv3)]: How can we ordinary people understand the thoughts of the boss?
[One Sword Cuts Mountains and Rivers (Lv3)]: So, could someone tell me when Season 1 actually starts? It doesn't say when.
[Forget-me-not (Lv3)]: Who knows? Just wait.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: It should be coming soon, probably in the next couple of days. Have you noticed a pattern? Every time our game system unlocks a new feature, it usually happens at midnight. Maybe it's midnight today. Everyone should be prepared in advance.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: !!! !!! !!!
[Three-foot-tall life (Lv3)]: Oh shit oh shit oh shit!
[Mr. Bucai Youshan (Lv3)]: Are you crazy?
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: The boss has agreed to let me join the alliance! ! !
The moment this line of message appeared, the players who were spamming or lurking in the world channel were stunned for two seconds, then quickly switched the page to [Alliance] and clicked on the basic information of [Hailou], the only alliance in the alliance list.
As expected, the number of members of [Hailou] decreased from 1/10 to 2/10.
[Mr. Bucai Youshan (Lv3)]: WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF
[Mr. Bucai Youshan (Lv3)]: Me, me, me! @(Cx330), I want to join the alliance too! Please!
The reason why Tao Sai agreed to "Three Feet of Life"'s application to join the alliance was because he had judged from his several speeches on the world channel that he was reliable, thoughtful, rational, and also used his own thinking to serve the players. Bringing such a person into the alliance first would undoubtedly be good news for the alliance members.
If a new alliance is created later and he is pulled there, it will undoubtedly be a loss of talent.
There was another reason. Tao Sai wanted to try out the function of the alliance, but he would never be able to do it without adding people to the alliance.
The Alliance [Hailou] has a separate channel, and the new member sent several messages in a row.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: Oh my god, I'm so excited!!!
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: Woohoo, woohoo, woohoo, woohoo, I feel like crying, what's going on... I will definitely ride a horse and fall to my death in the future!
[Cx330 (Lv3)]: ...
Tao Sai frowned slightly. She had always thought he was a steady man and had once labeled him calm and rational. It seemed that the Internet was indeed very deceptive.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: Boss, can I ask you a question? Why did you choose me?
[Cx330 (Lv3)]: There has to be someone who takes the lead. I have no experience in forming a team, but I want to give it a try. After all, one of the special effects of the alliance is additional gain.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: Then why only me?
[Cx330 (Lv3)]: I am not familiar with the others.
[Cx330 (Lv3)]: I am more optimistic about you.
The channel fell silent.
Tao Sai held his forehead in confusion, thinking that he had ended the conversation and said something inappropriate.
What she didn't know was that on a third-class refuge ship more than 600 kilometers away from the Deep Sea Fish's anchorage, someone was jumping wildly on the deck with excitement.
"Does it hurt here?" Liang Yuanzhou asked.
Cheng Cong shook his head.
He had several bruises on his body from falling before.
Tao Sai was worried that Cheng Cong had injured his bones. The child was very introverted and would not express pain, so he asked Liang Yuanzhou to help check.
"How about this?" Liang Yuanzhou asked after moving his elbow.
"A little bit." Cheng Cong said in a low voice.
Without professional equipment and unable to take X-rays, Liang Yuanzhou could only rely on his professional experience to make diagnoses.
"Doctor Liang, how are you?" Tao Sai asked.
"The bones should be fine, but the soft tissue is a little bruised. As for medicine," Liang Yuanzhou paused, "I'll apply a plaster."
"Okay, thank you." Tao Sai said as he led Cheng Cong out.
"You're welcome." Liang Yuanzhou nodded and smiled.
Tao Sai took Cheng Cong all the way to the captain's room. She took out the Yunnan Baiyao aerosol and plaster she had prepared from the medicine box and helped him treat his injuries.
Zhou Ning watched from the side. She had previously thought that this was just an ordinary child that Taotao rescued from the dock, but now the more she looked at him, the more she felt something was wrong.
"Taotao, isn't he your biological brother?"
Seeing the confusion on Tao Sai's face, Zhou Ning explained, "Your eyes are similar, they're practically cast from the same mold."
"You guessed right." Tao Sai nodded.
After applying the plaster on his wrist, Tao Sai introduced Zhou Ning to him, "You can also call her sister."
Cheng Cong nodded, looked up and called out, "Sister."
"Brother, welcome to join us!" Zhou Ning smiled sweetly and extended her hand to him.
Cheng Cong held her hand carefully, but his face turned red all of a sudden.
"Brother, you are so shy." Zhou Ning teased him.
Zhou Ning said to Tao Sai, "But Tao Tao, he looks the same age as Lin Kang, so they should be able to play together."
Tao Sai nodded.
Although Lin Kang is energetic and a bit naughty, it is always good to have a friend of the same age.
"Taotao, where are his parents?" Zhou Ning touched Cheng Cong's soft hair and handed him his PSP game console to play.
"It should still be at the dock," said Tao Sai.
Zhou Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to consider bringing them up together?"
Tao Sai told her in detail about their family situation, and she knew and understood it.
"It won't be connected," Tao Sai said firmly. She could have done so at the beginning of the disaster.
It wasn't that she held any resentment towards them. The resentment she felt was during those first few years, when she was young and naive. But now, much time has passed, and anything fades with time. Besides, she had a grandfather who loved her dearly, and he made up for a lot of the love she lacked growing up.
By the evening, the heavy rain that had lasted for several days finally stopped completely.
The situation here was completely stabilized, and Tao Sai began to make plans for the next step.
First, she had to go to Wolong River and bring back the supplies salvaged from the "Hanjiang City".
Leaving six people on the Deep Sea Fish to guard the area, she led a twenty-man assault team to kill a wave of monsters, earning a small amount of gold to balance daily expenses. After that, she waited and watched the gameplay of [Season 1] and considered forming a team with allies.
This time, An Nan will not be brought out. Tao Sai once regarded An Nan as a member of the commando team.
But her current attributes are too weak. I will upgrade her when I earn enough experience points, and then take her out.
Get a good night's sleep today and leave tomorrow.
Tao Sai equipped herself with the skill [Deep Sleep]. She lay on the bed, but did not close her eyes. Instead, she quietly waited for midnight to arrive.
Sure enough, after 23:59:59, the system subtitles popped up in front of her.
【Season 1 has begun.】
She clicked on [Season 1] on the main page, and a page of text quickly appeared.
[Season 1 is a points-based ranking competition, and players at level 3 and above are eligible to participate.]
All participating players are ranked by points. Points are awarded based on the number of insects killed, the number of queens killed, the amount of insect blood destroyed, the number of survivors rescued, the number of crew characters developed, and the number of refugees taken in.
The season will end in 10 days. Players will be ranked and their points will be calculated. Players will receive corresponding rank rewards.
【The player at the bottom of the standings will be eliminated.】
