Because Zeus said that Zhou Zhou is now an intermediate player and has added a lot of new content, so Zhou Zhou happily bid farewell to Alvia and returned to his home in the Nightmare Capital.

Only Zeus, who had no time to run, was left alone to face Alvia.

After going out for so long, the little octopus happily waved its tentacles to welcome him. Zhou Zhou fed the little guy, and then began to look at his task panel.

He has received many messages, all of which are from friends who have added him.Most of the people congratulated him on becoming an intermediate player, and some players who knew him in other instances asked him if he had any secrets for clearing the level.

Zhou Zhou read all the messages of his friends and replied one by one.

Just, the secret to customs clearance?He doesn't have any customs clearance secrets.

Zhou Zhou recalled his experiences in various dungeons, and he felt that the secret to his smooth clearance in these dungeons, if he wanted to say it, should be his friends.

Because of Keli and Shirley, he bravely stepped here from the dungeon of Love Academy; and because of the appearance of Alvia, he and each other went hand in hand in each dungeon; and because of Qian Le, Eddie, He YaThey had a lot of fun in the copy.

He earnestly replied to the players who asked for the secret.

"With a group of good friends, you can pass the customs smoothly."

It looked extremely perfunctory, but it was actually Zhou Zhou's heartfelt words. Without them, he would definitely not be able to pass the level by himself.

Although don't know why everyone cleared the level together, only his points are ridiculously high, but he still wants to thank all the players he met.

After replying to the message, Zhou Zhou began to carefully observe the upgraded task panel.

The original light blue mission panel turned into light gold.In the personal center, Zhou Zhou's name was followed by a small intermediate player title.

The biggest change in the task panel is the addition of a new module.

"Copy Design Module"

After upgrading to an intermediate player, you can design your own dungeon for players to break through. The higher the quality of the dungeon, the higher the points the designer can get each time the players pass through the level.

The way for junior players to get points is to get corresponding points according to the settlement only by clearing the dungeon.

At the intermediate level, if you can make a dungeon that meets the requirements of the game, is of high quality, and has a wide range of player participation, you can get points as long as players participate.

Zhou Zhou looked at the dungeon design module, there were rules related to the name, scene, location, NPC, props, etc. of the dungeon, and the design had to be done according to the requirements.Afterwards, it needs to be reviewed. If the review fails, the copy cannot be put into use.

Zhou Zhou watched for a long time before finishing all of these contents.After reading it, he only felt that it was really difficult to design a copy that met the requirements.

Always feel nowhere to start.

At this moment, Mo Lan, who received his reply, sent another message, asking him to meet.

Zhou Zhou immediately forgot about designing the copy. He hadn't seen Mo Lan for a long time. Although the two had been in contact, they hadn't seen each other since the last time they met in the restaurant.

Today is the time for Mo Lan's invitation. Zhou Zhou originally wanted to go out immediately, but the little octopus, which he hadn't seen for a long time, clung to him and couldn't get off. No matter how Zhou Zhou coaxed him, it didn't work, so he had to take it out with him in the end.

Mo Lan's agreed meeting place is outside Novice Village, the city of nightmares.

Although Zhou Zhou seldom hangs out in the game on weekdays and doesn’t know much about it, he also knows that there is only one huge Novice Village in the Capital of Nightmare. Everyone is doing tasks in Novice Village, and some people are curious and want to go to GaodaTake a look outside the majestic Xinshou Village city wall, but all failed.

Now Mo Lan asked him to go outside the city, how should he go?

Zhou Zhou blinked suspiciously, originally wanted to ask Mo Lan, but before asking, he suddenly thought of something, so he walked to his door.

When buying a house before, the attached function is that you can directly send it to a certain place through your door, and you need to spend one point each time.

And when Zhou Zhou checked the places he could go, he suddenly saw an address like "Novice Village outside the city" on it, which obviously didn't exist before, and it seemed that it appeared because of the upgrade.

Now that he had a way to go outside the city, Zhou Zhou took the little octopus on his shoulder and spent one point to be teleported to the place agreed with Mo Lan at his door.

The scene in front of me was still my home one second, and turned into black and white all over the next second.

Looking at the large white grid in front of him, Zhou Zhou was a little puzzled for a while.

Is this really outside the Novice Village of the Nightmare Capital?Why nothing?

And where is Mo Lan?

As soon as Zhou Zhou turned his head, he could see the majestic city wall and a large number of buildings inside the wall. Even from such a distance, the huge and majestic buildings were the most conspicuous existence in this space.

That's where they usually stay, Novice Village, Capital of Nightmare.

But the area under his feet is completely different from the inside of the city wall.The sky and the ground are all white, and black lines are used to divide them into square grids. Only the repeated black and white grids will produce dizzy effects if you look at them for a long time.

Before Zhou Zhou had any reaction, the little octopus on his shoulder had already become dizzy.

"Zhou Zhou ~here~"

A long-lost and familiar voice sounded not far away, Zhou Zhou looked towards the source of the sound, and saw Mo Lan waving at him at a glance.

Mo Lan was still the same as she had seen at the beginning, with a pale and bluish face, long black hair, and black pupils with no whites, appearing in the strange black and white grid, which made her look even more impressive.Terrified.

To Zhou Zhou, this appearance was very friendly. He thought he had found the wrong place, but when he saw Mo Lan, it meant that there was nothing wrong. This is what they agreed on.

There was also an aircraft parked behind Mo Lan. Because it was all white, it was parked on a large white square. Zhou Zhou glanced at it hastily, but he didn't notice it.

They ran towards each other happily, and both of them were very happy to meet each other.

Mo Lan's bright red lips contrasted against that blue and white face, and his smile added a bit of weirdness. Even the little octopus who saw Mo Lan for the first time was frightened, and the lively tentacles in the past obediently curled around.Zhou's hair, looking at Mo Lan timidly.

The two successfully met, and before Zhou Zhou could ask about Mo Lan's recent situation, Mo Lan took him onto the aircraft.

"Let's go to the other people first and meet up." Mo Lan skillfully drove the aircraft into the sky after finishing speaking.

Zhou Zhou was at a loss, who are the others?

The speed of the aircraft was very fast, flying above the vast black and white grid, and soon arrived at their destination.

Even Zhou Zhou couldn't help but widen his eyes when he first saw the buildings below.

This is a place different from Novice Village, the capital of nightmares, it is a small city.

Whether it is the walls or the buildings inside, compared with Novice Village, it can be called simple.

But this is a place Zhou Zhou has never been to, and he has never thought that there is a small city hidden besides the outrageously large Nightmare City, which has not even fully figured out the map until now.

"This is a secret that only ~intermediate players~ know." Mo Lan couldn't help explaining when he saw his dumbfounded look, which was mysteriously similar to the little pink octopus on his shoulder.

After Mo Lan parked the aircraft in an empty square and got out of the aircraft together, Zhou Zhou realized the real difference of this city.

No one here is human.

There are not only people who look very similar to Mo Lan and look like ghosts, but also children running around, a clown handing out balloons to passers-by, a person with two heads on his body fighting with each other, evenThe puppies running on the ground are more than one meter long.

All creatures here are different from ordinary humans.

Zhou Zhou stared at the people around him in surprise. Even though they looked different from each other, Zhou Zhou's eyes were only curious, and they were so clear that he could see the bottom at a glance.

The corners of Mo Lan's scarlet mouth rose, and she knew that Zhou Zhou would never let her down no matter what, and he was the player who could greet her with a smile when he saw her so scary for the first time.

"Welcome to the city of intermediate players."

Mo Lan's words were spoken with a perfect accent, no longer the slow and ending accent of the past, it was very formal and serious, and don't know how many times practiced it.

Zhou Zhou suddenly realized why Mo Lan, Locke, and Xiao Jin were not seen in the capital of nightmares in the past, except for dungeons. He thought they had all gone offline and returned home.Another city in the game.

Following Mo Lan into a restaurant, Zhou Zhou found that the "people" nearby were all staring at him.

In the eyes of ordinary humans, these people have weird and terrifying looks. Being stared at by such countless pairs of eyes is something that makes people feel weak feet and chattering teeth, but Zhou Zhou not only did notAfraid, but politely smiled and nodded at these people.

Seeing that everyone was still looking at him, Zhou Zhou even waved at them.

What used to be the most normal existence in Novice Village, the capital of nightmares, has turned into the most unique scenery here where monsters are everywhere.Zhou Zhou didn't know how strange he was in the eyes of these people, he just found that everyone who looked at him would look away first.

Although he was a little puzzled as to why everyone was staring at him with strange eyes, but soon, when he saw the group of people in the restaurant, Zhou Zhou couldn't care less about it.

The moment Mo Lan opened the dining room, Zhou Zhou saw many familiar people.

Xiao Jin and his group of friends, the captain of the thing in the deep sea, the seven identical drivers in the mirror world, the Old Housekeeper and Locke in Castle Night, and the NPCs he knew and met in the dungeon are all here!

Before Zhou Zhou could digest the huge surprise, Xiao Jin and the others had already rushed towards Zhou Zhou.

While calling Zhou Zhou's name, the blond little angel rushed over and hugged him.

And a dozen other children also rushed forward, and Zhou Zhou instantly turned into a humanoid climbing frame for the children.On the contrary, the little octopus widened its eyes in horror, and then used its short, fat tentacles to crawl on top of Zhou Zhou's head.

Although the memory of the little octopus is not good, it remembers the voices of the children who use the body of the dolls to run around Zhou Zhou's house and bully it very clearly.

"Why is everyone here?"

After accepting the warm hugs from the children, Zhou Zhou looked at everyone in the restaurant, obviously very happy.

"Of course~Congratulations~ Upgrade~" Mo Lan resumed her normal tone, standing among a group of people and speaking slowly.

The others also greeted Zhou Zhou. The 7 identical drivers in the mirror world also changed their original appearances in front of Zhou Zhou. It turned out that the image of a middle-aged man was the driver No. 7 who drove them into and out of the dungeon., everyone else looks different, even they are different ages.

The captain still looked lazy, after greeting Zhou Zhou, he wanted to catch up with the little octopus, but the vigilant little octopus thought that the captain was going to separate him from Zhou Zhou again, so he just stood on Zhou Zhou's head and couldn't get off, the captain stretched out his hand towards it, and he resisted hitting it with his small tentacles.

The captain was so angry that he called it heartless.

Locke was also very happy to see Zhou Zhou, and he kept sneaking up to Zhou Zhou, but his big and ferocious appearance made such sneaky movements seem a little funny, and the children even tried to imitate his movements.

The Old Housekeeper was still leaning on his crutches, and greeted Zhou Zhou in a very restrained and elegant manner.

After Zhou Zhou finished greeting everyone one by one, he learned from Mo Lan why everyone gathered here.

Before Nightmare City opened its server, all the players in the closed beta were not human beings, but a minority race in the remote star field of the empire. They were excluded because they were completely different from human beings in appearance and habits, or most of the human beings did not knowThere are these races.

However, when the Nightmare City game was undergoing internal testing, they were specially allowed to enter the first batch of the game. After several layers of screening, those who qualified in terms of mental strength and various aspects became intermediate players.

And after the game is officially opened, all they have to do is to design a dungeon for players to break through.

For these races whose appearance is obviously different from that of humans, this game actually uses their special appearance or ability to scare players, so that their mental power and brain fluctuations and other data can achieve the greatest changes to stimulate mental powerdevelopment.

At first they felt that although this job could get high pay, the content of the job was somewhat insulting to them. After all, no one wanted to turn their special appearance into a weapon to scare others.Is it scary to say that they look different from ordinary people?

But after listening to the words of the person in charge of the game that they were in touch with, realized that this is just the beginning. With the development of the game, they will be gradually accepted by human players in the later stage, and even become the most popular existence in the game.

It sounds like a fantasy, but everyone decided to give it a try, after all, they themselves want to integrate into human society.

In fact, until now, most of the players have seen them run away except screaming, and some even fainted.

As for why the psychological state of the players is so fragile, it still has a deep relationship with the history of the empire.The cultural gap has caused humans to lose many precious cultures, and the rapid development of science and technology has turned people into staunch atheists. They do not believe in illusory things, and only rely on the unique tenacity and tenacity of human beings to become the most powerful people in the interstellar world.Huge groups.

So in the interstellar era, they haven't even heard of ghosts and snakes, and they don't even care about it.

The original intention of the Nightmare City is to stimulate the growth of the people's spiritual power. If it is in the extreme state, such as the state of dying, it can also stimulate the spiritual power. However, this method has many disadvantages and may leave a serious psychological shadow.And in case of any accident in the state of frequent death, it will be more harmful to the brain.

Coincidentally, when studying the content of stimulating the spirit, a batch of ruins of the ancient earth were unearthed, and some of the content in it happened to be a reference for experts.

Fear is a milder stimulus than the limit state.

This is why a lot of content in the copy is ghosts and ghosts, and the minority races that match these images are also included in the plan.

After more and more players are promoted to intermediate and advanced players in the later stage, based on the needs of dungeon design, they will have a higher understanding and tolerance for these minority races, and even need their help when designing dungeons, so thatA transition period has been formed, allowing humans to slowly accept these minorities who look different from them.

Before Zhou Zhou, Mo Lan also met some players who were not afraid of her, but Zhou Zhou was the first player to show a friendly attitude towards her.

She is also eager to let Zhou Zhou upgrade to an intermediate player earlier, and then get to know them, so that more minorities will know that human beings are not only afraid of them, but also have people like Zhou Zhou who will take the initiative to show kindness.

As a result, Zhou Zhou did better than she expected. He not only made every minority who knew him full of praise, but also became the first player to upgrade after the server opened.

All the players in Nightmare City know this name.

There are not many people who can become intermediate players during the closed beta. Everyone gathers in this small town on weekdays and gradually gets to know each other.When Mo Lan was chatting with these companions, Zhou Zhou was often mentioned.

And those who met and knew Zhou Zhou in the other dungeons occasionally chatted with other people about what Zhou Zhou did in the dungeon. After all, he left a deep impression on every dungeon designer.

Mo Lan, who had been preparing to celebrate Zhou Zhou, found everyone early to celebrate Zhou Zhou, which is why they gathered here.

Mo Lan explained very slowly, but Zhou Zhou listened patiently.

Last time, due to the restrictions of the game rules, Mo Lan couldn't say too much. Now that she can tell Zhou Zhou everything, she naturally wants to explain everything clearly.

And the captain and others on the side chimed in a few words at any time while ordering dishes.Since we want to celebrate, of course we can't sit still, we must have a good meal.

In addition to delicious food, all kinds of fine wines are indispensable during the celebration. The captains ordered all kinds of food and drinks, and then took Zhou Zhou to sit with them.

The captain, who originally wanted to give a bottle of wine to the party to celebrate, stared at Zhou Zhou's white and tender face, struggled for a long time, and gave him the same juice as the children.

"Oh, thank you." Zhou Zhou didn't understand the captain's entanglement, and took a sip of the juice.

"Oh, why did you give him juice? He is the most important person in this banquet, so of course he has to drink." An NPC player in the mirror world shouted at the captain.

"I always feel that he is not yet an adult, and all underage kids have to drink juice." Although he knew that this game was not so strict except for a few races like them, other human beings had to be eighteen years old to enter, but Zhou Zhou'sThe appearance is really exquisite, if you say that he is sixteen, people will believe him.

The other players noticed that Zhou Zhou was holding the fruit juice and drinking it, which was similar to the group of little ghosts beside him. There was always a feeling that he was a king of kids.

"Okay, if you drink juice, you can drink juice, then we can drink these wines by ourselves."

The mid-level players were drinking and chatting, and Zhou Zhou received the most attention. The dishes in his bowl were piled up to the top, and the juice never stopped.If it weren't for the fact that it doesn't matter how much you eat in the game, you'd be full by this appetite.

Zhou Zhou sneaked a few glances at the drinks the other players were drinking, but soon his attention was diverted to other aspects.

The purpose of Mo Lan calling Zhou Zhou over this time, besides helping him celebrate the upgrade, is to talk about designing the dungeon.

Zhou Zhou has just upgraded, so he definitely doesn't understand these things at all, and they can be regarded as players who have successfully designed the dungeon. If they get together, Zhou Zhou can ask at any time if they don't understand anything, at least they can help out with suggestions.

When Mo Lan said this, Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up. He happened to have many questions that he couldn't figure out.

In the next few hours, a lively gathering turned into a teaching discussion meeting. Because Zhou Zhou lacked a lot of common sense, he was confused about many things about the instructions that came with the design dungeon module.

The average person will most likely skip these instructions and start designing a copy directly.But Zhou Zhou, who has always been serious, wants to accomplish something, so he will not be perfunctory.

And everyone present gave answers to what he didn't understand, and even if there were things they didn't understand, others could quickly add.

"Thank you everyone, I already understand." Zhou Zhou has benefited a lot from this gathering, and he feels that he now knows how to design.

"You~have you already thought about it?" Mo Lan guessed, looking at Zhou Zhou's confident appearance.

Zhou Zhou didn't hide anything: "I thought of something just now."

Locke praised dryly: "Zhou Zhou, you are amazing."

The captain also said: "Dungeon design is indeed difficult. We have only passed one or two dungeons so far. You are still talented if you can think of it so quickly."

Xiao Jin looked like a little adult: "Zhou Zhou, after you finish the design, we can help you see if there are any problems."

Zhou Zhou touched Xiao Jin's head: "Then thank you Xiao Jin first."

When everyone was discussing, he already had a lot of ideas. Zhou Zhou couldn't wait to think of turning the scene in his mind into reality.

After the party is over, add the location of the small town to the task panel, so that Zhou Zhou can be directly teleported to the city when he comes in the future, without the need for everyone to go outside Novice Village to pick it up.

After waving goodbye to everyone, Zhou Zhou teleported home with the little octopus, and he was about to start designing the copy immediately.

The author has something to say:
