This weird Three Kingdoms game is too cruel

The Land of Stars event is over.

After Hang Yu returned to the territory, he gave each of the players who participated in the event a reward of 30,000 essence + 30,000 contribution points. This made Xiao Lingdang, Ye Limeng, Brother Heitongrui, Toast to the Moon all... Very pleasantly surprised!

"There is actually a reward?"

Although this activity map mission did not allow much time for personal interaction or free activities, they gained a lot from the one-day trip to the Land of Stars.

Even if there is no reward, this trip is still very rewarding!

It’s much more interesting than a luxury tour of ten European countries!

This was definitely an impressive trip.

It is both fresh and interesting. It is not only a visual feast, but also a privilege to have a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of Shengcang City, and truly feel the grandeur and charm of the hidden world view of this game!

I never thought that there would be a huge reward that could make up for the losses caused by not killing monsters for a day.

"Hahaha, this trip was so enjoyable. Such an activity is really a great benefit." Ye Limeng couldn't help but sigh after returning to the territory: "I wonder if there will be another chance next month!"

Brother Heitongrui: "The only drawback is that there are not many plots that we actively participate in. I hope the official can open more plots of the hidden map Shengcang City so that players can participate."

Little Lingdang said: "Yes, isn't this already in production? Principal Long invited Yu Shen to participate in the Lords Competition. I think since it is a Lords Competition, we, the Scourge Army, must participate!"

He raised his glass and looked at the moon and said: "Everyone, I'm going offline now. I took a lot of videos and photos this time. I have to spend time sorting them out!"

Little Lingdang: "Me too, I have gained a lot this time. Sisters Sprite and Chenxi are already urging me through private messages!"

"It's time for me to log off and take a rest!"

"Bye! See you tomorrow!"

"..."

Because the online time is long enough.

All four players took a break after finishing the event.

During this sightseeing activity in the Land of Stars, the four of them took a lot of material, especially Toast to the Moon, who contributed more than 200,000 points, all of which were spent on collecting material.

Hang Yu doesn't know why these players are so interested in taking photos and recording videos, but he made props like photography crystals to recover contribution points, so he hopes players will buy more and use them more.

Now it seems the effect is significant.

A lot of contribution points were spent on props.

This effectively maintains the gold content of contribution points, and players will work harder to move bricks to earn contributions.

After Hang Yu returned to the territory.

The player Wanli Great Wall came to ask for an audience.

The Great Wall is currently only at level 8. Its combat power is not worth mentioning in the Scourge Army, but it is an important member of the territory. He is mainly responsible for various infrastructure construction and urban planning work in the territory. Now thousands of indigenous laborers are basically under his management.

"Let him in!"

The Great Wall was brought in front of Zhang San.

He was full of excitement: "Lord, according to your instructions, we worked overtime for two days and two nights without a minute's rest. We have already formulated several sets of architectural designs and the latest stage of territory planning plans!"

Finished.

I took out the design sketch.

The latest design and planning solutions were explained in detail.

Hang Yu knew that the Great Wall was the top architectural designer.

Behind him is an entire design institute, school, and hundreds of students and teams.

Although it only took two days and two nights, good renderings have been produced, which are enough to give the territory's halls, barracks and other buildings a completely new look during this upgrade. Hang Yu is very satisfied with the efficiency and effect.

However, the Great Wall said: "Because the time invested in the design was too short, there are many areas that can be improved. If we are given another week, we will definitely be able to come up with a more perfect urban planning plan."

The continuous optimization of the main city and territory is a long-term task.

This work cannot be rushed and can be done slowly. However, the hall, walls, canteen and twenty barracks must be upgraded immediately, because the third test will start in a few days, and the territory needs more soldiers and people. In addition, the defense capabilities and Functionality also needs to be further enhanced.

"Lord, please rest assured!"

"Just give us enough time!"

"The main city of Luoshui will definitely become a majestic city of miracles!"

The Great Wall is already a retiree in the real world, and now spends all his time on construction in the game. When I see the main city of Luoshui and the territory being gradually improved and built from scratch, I feel a sense of accomplishment. It is something that the real world cannot bring about after so many years.

Hang Yu assigned a new task to the Great Wall.

The Great Wall was busy without stopping and immediately.

Hang Yu summoned his assistant Xiaoba and asked: "Are there any special circumstances in the territory these two days?"

Xiaoba immediately replied: "Let me tell you, Master, the territory has been developing steadily in the past two days, and nothing too special has happened. A new batch of 900 players have logged in, and more than half of them have been upgraded to level 3 or above!"

not bad!

Hang Yu took a look at his energy reserves.

The energy reserve has grown to about 4 million.

Nowadays, the number of players is as high as 1930. Even if there are no large-scale missions or large-scale events with particularly high casualty rates, the energy income from death in daily ordinary actions is at least more than 500,000. With a little twists and turns, the number will be even higher. , the income can be said to be very considerable.

"It's time for me to prepare for a new map!"

Hang Yu opened the territory map and saw only three blocks of territory on the huge abyss map.

The three territories of Luoshui City, Shansang City, and Baihu City are in the shape of a ninety-degree right angle.

When the Star Lords open a new abyss area, it must directly border the territory, that is, it must expand outward from the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the three map areas. In this way, there are nine potential areas that can be opened.

Hang Yu only has one key to the nightmare of the abyss.

He needs to choose one of nine potential territories.

Here comes the problem.

Which one is better?

Hang Yu thought about it for a while.

He decided to build a map around the main city of Luoshui, his base camp.

Because lighting up the map near the main city of Luoshui as soon as possible has at least two major benefits:

First, the main city of Luoshui is the core of the Scourge Army. It will be more convenient to explore the area near the base camp. It not only increases the efficiency of territory development, but also increases the efficiency of player death, which is more conducive to the development of the territory.

Second, the main city of Luoshui is Hang Yu's core base camp. If the nearby areas are not activated as soon as possible, these areas will become potentially huge hidden dangers. What if other star lords expand their territory and directly open the map to the Luoshui base camp?

The area near the main city of Luoshui must be lit up as soon as possible!

This not only facilitates the Scourge Army's expedition challenge, but also adds strategic depth to the territory's base camp. Even if a lord expands into his territory in the future, the base camp will not be directly exposed to the opponent's troops.

In summary.

Either for profit.

Or for territorial security reasons.

Hangyu will give priority to opening new areas around the main city of Luoshui.

There are an abyss map on the upper, lower, left and right sides of the main city of Luoshui. The upper and northern map has been activated. It is the Woniu Mountain area that was just captured. There are still three directions: south, east and west.

What a coincidence!

There happened to be three divine stones of revelation!

You can check the names of the three regions in advance.

【Do you want to use the Divine Stone of Revelation? 】

Hang Yu selected the left side of the Luoshui main city area through the lord panel, which is the area to the west of the Luoshui area, and then used a revelation stone on this area.

[You have received the revelation of the will of the stars! 】

[The current area name is: Jiangji Pavilion! 】

Hang Yu's territory map has not changed at all. The grid on the left side of Luoshui is still in an unopened dark state. Because the map has not been officially activated, it is impossible to clearly see the topography and landforms, and it is impossible to judge the size of the area. .

The only thing shown is the name!

"Jiangjiang Pavilion? What kind of place is this?"

Hang Yu was not a professional in history or geography before traveling through time, so he was confused when he saw the name brought by the revelation stone. However, the problem is not that big and small. You can connect to the Internet and just use Baidu search engine to check it. .

Offer sacrifices to Jiangting.

Also known as Beigu Pavilion.

Beigu Pavilion is located near the back peak of Beigu Mountain.

According to data, this belonged to Soochow during the Three Kingdoms period.

Hang Yu originally thought that this place was nothing special, but after careful research on the Internet, he discovered that there are many historical plots of the Three Kingdoms about Beigu Mountain.

For example.

There is a place called Ganlu Temple in this place.

According to interpretation and legend, this is the place where Liu Bei recruited his bride.

After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou from Soochow and refused to return it. Zhou Yu proposed a plan to Sun Quan and used his sister Sun Shangxiang as bait to set up a beauty trap to lure Liu Bei to come to Jingkou to marry and recruit relatives, and took the opportunity to take Jingzhou as a hostage in order to regain Jingzhou.

Later, Zhuge Liang saw through Zhou Yu and used his plan to make the marriage between Sun and Liu come true, and Soochow lost his wife and troops.

This can be considered a classic plot and story.

Hang Yu was very excited for a moment, "So if I open this map, wouldn't I have the opportunity to meet Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and many other big guys at the same time? If this is the case, the value of this map is too high. Bar!"

However.

think carefully.

It feels unlikely.

These characters may have indeed appeared in this place before, but it does not mean that they are still here at this moment. The spatial location where the nightmare of the abyss comes is very important, but the time when the nightmare starts is also very important.

But how to determine the timeline?

Hang Yu feels that this is also traceable.

For example, the name of this map is called Jijiang Pavilion, not Ganlu Temple or Beigu Mountain, which already explains the problem.

Generally, the name of a nightmare map is likely to be related to the core pollution source in the area, such as Ma Yuanyi in Luoshui Execution Ground, and Zhang Bao in Woniu Mountain, which means that the core pollution source of this map is likely to be at Jijiang Pavilion.

So what is the origin of Jiangji Pavilion?

Hang Yu learned from the investigation that there was also a story in it.

The Jiangji Pavilion was originally called Beigu Pavilion. According to legend, after Liu Bei entered Sichuan during the Western Expedition, Sun Quan deceived Sun Shangxiang into returning to Wu by claiming that his mother was seriously ill. From then on, he detained Sun Shangxiang and prevented her from returning to Liu Bei. Later, rumors spread to Wu about the Battle of Yiling. It was wrongly reported that Liu Bei was killed in the war. Sun Shangxiang was so sad that he looked to the west and cried, and threw himself into the river to die for his love.

Later generations built a temple for it, named "Xiao Ji Temple".

Beigu Pavilion was renamed "Jiangjiang Pavilion".

Historical figures in the state of destined death are most easily transformed into evil by the will of the abyss.

Ma Yuanyi was transformed into a core pollution source after his death, and Zhang Bao was also transformed into a core pollution source after his death.

Since the name of this map is "Jiangjiang Pavilion", the map is probably set after the Battle of Yiling, and the ultimate boss and core pollution source of this map is most likely the Owl Princess Sun Shangxiang.

It seems so.

Zhou Yu, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others cannot appear on this map.

If Hang Yu chooses to open this map, he will most likely face Sun Shangxiang. Of course, there may also be some famous officials and generals from Soochow, but the specific people he will encounter cannot be accurately guessed from the limited information.

This picture is okay.

Feeling almost something again.

Hang Yu is not very satisfied!

Let's take a look at the situation in the other two areas before deciding.

The abyss map is not fixed. Whenever a new area is conquered, the unknown maps around the territory will be rematched and updated.

This time looking at the southern area.

Hang Yu activated the Divine Stone of Revelation on the map one grid below Luoshui's home court.

[You have received the revelation of the will of the stars! 】

[The current area name is: Niutoushan! 】

The map of this grid was quickly displayed under the influence of the revelation stone.

Niutoushan? This name is so mediocre! Hang Yu didn't have much impression, so he had to use the search engine again!

soon.

Information about Niutoushan during the Three Kingdoms period appeared in front of us.

Hang Yu was surprised to find that although the name Niutoushan was very ordinary, the things that happened here and the characters who appeared here were not simple at all!

In the twelfth year of Yanxi's reign in the Shu Han Dynasty, General Jiang Wei gathered his army and went north to attack Wei with Wei's surrendered general Xiahou Ba as his guide. At that time, his opponents were Wei's famous generals Deng Ai and Guo Huai.

The two armies met at Niutoushan and fought several times. They faced each other regardless of the outcome.

Later, Jiang Wei was defeated and lost tens of thousands of horses.

This should be the general background of Niutoushan.

After Hang Yu figured out the information about Niutoushan, he couldn't help but feel very excited. The timeline of this picture is most likely in the late Three Kingdoms period, and it is possible that the three famous generals Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, and Guo Huai will appear at the same time!

This picture is of great value!

At least it is more valuable than offering sacrifices to Jiangting!

Hang Yu was very excited. Although the three top generals may not appear at the same time, the probability of encountering them is relatively high. Besides Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, and Guo Huai, there were as many as a dozen other Wei and Shu generals who fought in Niutoushan. Twenty!

Can't open it?

Think twice.

It’s better not to make a decision in a hurry!

At this moment, I still have a divine stone of revelation in my hand.

Hang Yu felt that there was no point in leaving one. There happened to be an unknown map near the base camp area, so he simply used this revelation stone on the abyss map one grid to the right of the main city of Luoshui.

[You have received the revelation of the will of the stars! 】

[The current area name is: Wancheng! 】

When the map name appears.

Hang Yu's eyes suddenly condensed!

No need to use a search engine this time!

Even if you are not a student of history or geography, anyone who knows something about the history of the Three Kingdoms probably doesn’t know the place “Wancheng”!

"Is this the Wancheng where Boss Cao killed the three sages with one shot? It must be the case. There is no second Wancheng in the Three Kingdoms!"

Hang Yu was briefly stunned.

Then came the expression of ecstasy.

Wancheng has been an important place for military strategists since ancient times.

Because its location and environment are very important.

There were many battles that took place here whether it was the Three Kingdoms or other historical periods.

The most famous historical event in Wancheng during the Three Kingdoms period was the Battle of Wancheng, also known as the "Battle of Feishui". It was a battle between Boss Cao and Zhang Xiu, who were just one warlord before the establishment of the Three Kingdoms in 197 AD.

It is said that because Cao Cao wanted to forcibly take in the widow Zou of Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu became angry and, on Jia Xu's suggestion, launched a surprise attack on Cao Cao's camp, resulting in a disastrous defeat for Boss Cao in this battle.

Boss Cao's eldest son Cao Ang, who was both civil and military, his nephew Cao Anmin, the fierce general Dian Wei, and his beloved horse Jueying were all killed!

This is the famous "kill three sages with one shot"!

It is worth mentioning that the three sages here refer to Dian Wei, Cao Ang, and Bao Bao Jueying.

As for Cao Anmin?

He's just a pimp.

Totally worthy of death!

The scale of this battle was nothing in the Three Kingdoms period, but it had a profound impact on the historical trend. It not only changed the heirs of the Cao Wei Group, but also rewrote the fate of Cao Wei, making Boss Cao often regret it even in his later years.

That’s it!

The areas in three directions are clear!

To the west is Jiangjiang Pavilion, to the south is Niutou Mountain, and to the east is Wancheng!

Is this still a choice?

Hang Yu didn't hesitate.

Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, Zhang Xiu, the spear king of the North, Jia Xu, the poisonous warrior of the ages, Dian Wei, the evil from ancient times, Cao Ang, Jueying... these were all existences that had appeared in Wancheng!

certainly!

There are variables!

Hang Yu could only know the spatial location of this map from the name. As for the specific time when the abyss descended, there was no way to know. Because of this, the time when this nightmare of the abyss occurred did not necessarily coincide with the "Battle of Wancheng".

This also means that he may not be able to meet Cao Cao or Dian Wei.

It is also impossible to determine the identity of the core pollution source of this map.

Even so.

If you choose one of three.

Hang Yu would still choose to open the Wancheng map without hesitation.

Because the map of Niutoushan is also unable to determine the specific time and people, and Niutoushan is just a mountain range, with no large towns nearby and a small population.

Wancheng is different.

Even if the nightmare of the abyss did not occur during the Battle of Wancheng, at least it was a well-known important town during the Three Kingdoms period and a large city with the largest population among the three maps.

The population and territory in Wancheng and its vicinity are already large, and they have developed and multiplied for at least several decades in the abyss timeline. It is entirely possible that the number will increase three to five times or even ten times.

To the lord.

The more population and territory there are.

The value of this map will be higher.

As for whether I can meet Cao Cao, Dian Wei, Jia Xu, and Zhang Xiu? Hang Yu doesn't insist on it. If he can encounter it, this map will have several more powerful BOSSs, and the final reward will be richer.

It doesn't matter even if you don't meet these big guys, the difficulty will be reduced a lot. If you can capture Wancheng and the nearby population territory, it will be enough to take the development of the territory to a higher level.

Moreover.

Based on Hang Yu's understanding of the abyss.

The arrival of abyss consciousness requires an anchor point.

This anchor point is a powerful luck target. Only by converting this target into a core source of pollution can a nightmare be generated and drag the time and space in the area into the abyss.

Because of this, there is a high probability that top figures will appear on the "Wancheng" map. Even if the nightmare of the abyss did not occur during the Battle of Wancheng, it was at least before the Battle of Wancheng.

In other words, even if Cao Cao, Dian Wei, Cao Ang and others are not in this area.

Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu, Mrs. Zou, Hu Che'er and other characters most likely still exist, but we don't know what their current status is, and we don't know if they have become core pollution sources or have fallen into evil deeds.

"Ok, deal!"

"Wancheng is located east of the main city of Luoshui."

"This area is connected to the main city of Luoshui on the left and the Baihu City area of ​​Baihu Mountain above. Natural disasters can enter the area from both directions at the same time to explore, which is more convenient than exploring the other two maps!"

Hang Yu has already made a decision.

But the Key to the Abyss was not used immediately.

This Wancheng area is different from the Woniushan area.

Whether it is the degree of distortion or the time it takes to sink into the abyss, it is probably far above Woniu Mountain.

Because of this, the levels of the abyssal creatures, abyss evils, and various monsters that appear in it are definitely higher than those in Woniu Mountain. The difficulty is beyond imagination, so don’t rush it!

Leave it at least a few days.

Let the territories and players prepare well!

At this time, among the 1,930 players in the Scourge Army, almost two-thirds are less than level 5, and the number of second-level players is less than one-tenth.

Even if you open the picture immediately.

Most players also have no ability to participate.

If there is any big danger in the Wancheng map, such as the evil Cao Cao, Dian Wei, and Jia Xu coming to attack directly, with the current strength of the territory, it may be difficult to resist it, which may cause unnecessary losses and troubles.

But time is running out.

If you don’t choose to open a new map within seven days.

Key of the Abyss will automatically take effect and randomly open the map.

There are still about five days to prepare, and we need to use this time to integrate the production of the territory, and at the same time, let the Scourge Army grow as much as possible.

"Although this time is not much, it is barely enough. It is better to allow players to develop freely for five days than to forcefully open a new map directly!"

Hang Yu thought so.

Opened the game forum.

I want to see what topics players are discussing recently.

When Hang Yu glanced at the posts in the forum, he found that except for the two final battles in the Woniu Mountain area, most of the hot posts in the forum were related to the conjecture of the third test preview.

In addition to the Corps Commander system that will be launched soon.

What players are most curious about now is the content of new maps and new expansion packs.

Hang Yu also considered whether to release previews or spoilers for the "Wancheng expansion pack" in advance.

I guess if the players knew that the next map was the famous Wancheng, they would definitely get excited!

But just then.

A new post has appeared.

It immediately attracted the attention of many netizens.

Because this post is about the Homecoming Day event!

The person who posted the message was none other than Brother Black Eyed Rui, one of the four players.

The name of this post is: "Decrypting the Hidden Map of Shengcang City: The grand world view of the Three Kingdoms has just revealed the tip of the iceberg!" 》

Although some information and gossip about the Land of Stars and Holy Cang City have been leaked during the event, there is no systematic summary and revelations, and no pictures or videos have been released. This post from Brother Heitong Rui is the first one.

"The efficiency of these players is really impressive!"

Hang Yu knows very well that the exposure of the Land of Stars is enough to create a huge topic for this game, especially the leakage of videos and pictures of the City of Stars, which may even shock the relevant departments and even the real world, and even make many people doubt their lives.

Just didn't expect it.

It only ended in two hours.

The summary post appears so soon.

Hang Yu was also curious about how much attention the activities in the Land of Stars could arouse among players and relevant departments, so he clicked on this post to see what Brother Rui had revealed.
