Chapter 1439: Chapter 1327-phenomenon

Translator: 549690339 

As the old saying goes, it’s the new year before the first month.

Of course, that was an old saying … For most people today,”New Year’s” was equivalent to “vacation,” and “vacation” was likely to end on the third day of the new year. At most, they would let you rest until the eighth day of the new year. Even the students who were on winter vacation had to start school again around the Lantern Festival.

Therefore, in the view of modern people, the latter half of the first month of the lunar year was a very ordinary day.

But … The seven from the frontline of h.e.l.l did not need to consider that.

They either had irregular working hours, or they didn’t have a job. There was even a professional gamer who hadn’t signed a contract yet, and his job was to play games …

In short, this group of people … Had plenty of time to be online.

In order to prepare for S3, everyone was quite serious this time. Even miss an, who had to go to the company during the day, had found a way to adjust her working hours (actually, she was just telling her family that she would only be working for half a day from tomorrow onwards, and her working hours were up to her own discretion) so that she could play games with her teammates during the day and strengthen their teamwork.

According to dream Inc.’S announcement, S3’s registration time limit was one month. The registration would start the moment S3’s system was announced, which was midnight on February 21st, 2056. At midnight on the 20th of March 2056, the registration system would be closed. At that time, the system would immediately randomly match all registered teams, creating the name list for the first round of S3 elimination tournament. Twenty-four hours after the list was announced, the first round of the compet.i.tion would officially begin.

Just like the previous two compet.i.tions, this “one month” registration period was undoubtedly a money-making scheme by the game company …

Needless to say, the high-level players who were determined to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion would definitely have to invest more money. When everyone was throwing money to increase their strength, if you still maintained your usual pace, it was equivalent to regressing.

Once this trend started, the transaction volume in the official merchant store and auction house would definitely soar. Not only would dream Inc. Be able to earn a large amount of game coins from the players, but they would also be able to earn a large percentage of the transaction tax and processing fees during this period when the auction house was rising in price.

In addition, the income from casual players ‘”additional top-ups” was also the main focus of this operation.

At this stage of the game, the majority of Thriller Paradise’s player base was the group of normal casual players, who had hidden scores between 55 and 75 and were level 45 and 50. This group of players usually played with the mentality of “relaxing, looking for excitement, having fun, making friends,” etc. They entered the game earlier and came online at a fixed time, but … They did not have a strong desire to improve the strength of the game characters.

Because Thriller Paradise would generate scenarios that were suitable for the hidden segments based on the player’s level, investment, and even personality, whether these casual players were better than average would not affect their gaming experience (except for snow, who had to rely on others to train up to level 40).

However, the situation was different now … The completely random matching rule in S3 greatly increased the chances of ordinary players advancing. In theory, if there was an extreme phenomenon where “all the professional powerhouses ‘advancement routes converged before the semi-finals”, then a “civilian team” winning second place … Was not impossible.

Under such stimulation, the casual players ‘enthusiasm for the S3 was unprecedented. Although everyone also understood that that kind of “theory” was just a theory, similar to the mentality of “after the grouping for the World Cup qualifiers was completed, the fans first did some calculations in their hearts, and then felt that the national football team could theoretically advance this time”…

But no matter what … Humans had dreams.

Besides, there was no registration fee for Thriller Paradise’s compet.i.tion, so there was nothing to lose from partic.i.p.ating in the individual compet.i.tion. If they lost, they would just have to play for one round, and if they won one round, they could brag about it for half a year.

Dream Inc. Had taken advantage of this mentality and had intentionally set aside this ‘one month’ to allow those players who had ‘hidden points’ and were not qualified to partic.i.p.ate to raise their own points.

As long as the casual players extended their gaming time and became ‘serious’, they would be able to increase their hidden points in the short term. Once people started to’ play the game ‘seriously, it was normal to invest some money in it. After all, Thriller Paradise was a game with an economic and age threshold. Almost all the players of this game had the ability to spend money. It was just a matter of how much money they had.

…………

It was long with a book and short without a book.

In the following month, nothing special happened, and everyone in h.e.l.l’s frontline steadily improved their strength.

During this time, Feng bujue still had a lot of solo matches because the other six could form a team. Furthermore, it had to be said that brother Jue was indeed the cancer of the team. When he was on the team, increasing the difficulty of the scenario was secondary. More importantly, many of his decisions and strategies would affect the normal flow of the scenario.

Therefore, this month, Feng bujue was most likely still solo-ing.

Of course, whether it was solo or team, brother Jue did not care. He could handle any mode or scenario, but … There was one situation that he found rather strange.

And that was … As mentioned above,”nothing special happened”.

For Feng bujue … That was the strangest thing.

At the end of the “bet” and the “game of candidates”, everything seemed so calm.

Woody did not contact him, nor did he send kui Mori (Arthas) to pa.s.s him a message. Vincent, Simon, and the others did not come to contact him. The guys from heaven did not make a move either …

Not only in the real world, but even in the game world, it was the same …

Ever since the ‘battle to defend the monster Kingdom’, in the past month, including the other members of frontline h.e.l.l, Feng bujue and the others had not been a.s.signed to a scenario that took place in Thriller Paradise’s main universe. However, judging from the reactions on the forum, the system should not have stopped generating scenarios with the main universe as the background because other players had partic.i.p.ated in them.

Brother Jue had tried to form a party with players outside of the Guild and had tried various Dungeons that were only nightmare difficulty … But he just could not get in.

There was no way to enter the main universe, no chance to enter the inner world, and he had not even encountered an anomaly … This month, the thriller Paradise that Feng bujue had been playing was so’ normal ‘that it made him wonder if he had opened it the wrong way.

And this phenomenon made Feng bujue realize that … Something big was about to happen.

Not to mention the existences in the game world, even Woody and the other G.o.ds and demons couldn’t say anything … This meant that a more powerful force had intervened and controlled the overall situation.
