This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 795 - 641: Why did you have to mess with someone like that?

Chapter 795

"Are players actually still looking forward to going to the Abyss Continent?"
Liang Yi simply flipped through a few of the hot threads of the moment and found that players were really yearning for the Abyss Continent.
New maps, new equipment, new NPCs, and various new forces, while these features were all quite appealing to the players, Liang Yi found that what they valued most was the opportunity to experience the nightlife on the Abyss Continent.
The story of Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei sneaking into the brothel in the Abyss Continent was known by many players. Whenever others asked them what the experience was like, the two would always nostalgically recount:
"It feels just like showing off one's new undies to the world in the gentle breeze of the morning!"
"God damn, showing the world your new undies..."
Liang Yi, faced with their bizarre metaphor, was lost for words, almost to the point of calling the police on the spot.
But reading the replies from other players below, Liang Yi saw everyone was excited, seeming to fully understand the feeling.
After all, among the initial crowd of players who started playing Mystical Mechanism, nearly ninety-nine percent were die-hard gamers.
Later on, those in it for the scenic views and relaxed older players were gradually attracted once the game content was mostly developed.
And how many hardcore gamers had girlfriends? Back when Liang Yi was a top player, most of his peers were also top players in the game, belonging to the elite.
But their purpose for playing was a bit different from Liang Yi's goal of just making money; they played purely to show off and impress girls.
"If you're not playing the game to show off your achievements to girls, then the whole game is meaningless!"
That was a direct quote Liang Yi heard from one player. The guy thought so and acted accordingly, but unfortunately, by the time Liang Yi crossed over, that guy was still a homebody who hadn't even held hands with a girl.
So, dreaming of finding love through gaming? Better give that a rest.
"Too bad... your new map has been blown up by me."
As Liang Yi leafed through page after page of players longing for the new map, he awkwardly scratched his head.
If the players knew that the new map and nightlife they had been craving had been blown to bits by Liang Yi's maneuvering, he figured these players might just switch sides and invade the Mystical Mechanism Continent.
"But now, are players actually able to level up to the new cap of 81?"
Liang Yi clicked on another thread starring Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei, where a video was posted of the two teaming up with top guilds from other sects, ambushing and taking down a level 81 Abyss Cultivator in a small secret realm.
The level of top players nowadays was mostly around 75, and those who helped Liang Yi with intelligence and just came back from the Abyss Continent, the Purple Cloud Sect players, were around level 77 or 78.
In this case, it's not so rare for them to take down a Level 81 orange-named monster that was caught off-guard with a mix of zerg tactics and sneak attacks, in Liang Yi's view.
He once again sighed to himself, the level of players in this life had really improved too much compared to his last life, and the person responsible for all these changes was none other than Liang Yi himself.
"It seems that the current upper limit for players to defeat is roughly around the Eighth Realm, and then they are likely to hit the level cap."
Liang Yi stroked his chin, and various intelligence s flashed through his mind.
The player community was no longer the same as the one that only watched cutscenes. Their potential to impact the Mystical Mechanism Continent was so significant that even Liang Yi had some difficulty estimating it.
However, when facing a formidable enemy like the Abyss Continent, players were considered one of the strongest trump cards for Mystical Mechanism.
Liang Yi then continued to browse through some other threads, and his expression gradually changed as he read.
"Abyss Cultivators really set up an Abyss Gate inside the Mystical Mechanism Continent!?"
Such events were normal for players, and therefore the discussion was not very high, but for Liang Yi, it was somewhat troublesome.
"Not from the Abyss Gate that Blood Demon senior suppressed, but they've repaired some other secret realms' Abyss Gates?"
The information in the thread wasn't comprehensive, and Liang Yi could only deduce based on the details provided.
He had just come back from the Abyss Continent and hadn't had time to get in touch with Little Bamboo House, so he couldn't fully understand many details and had to get insights from player forums.
"Judging from the various tasks accepted by players, the enemy wants to cause disruption from behind Mystical Mechanism and divert attention from the frontlines..."
Liang Yi couldn't help but smile wryly as he read on, not knowing what to say about these people.
Initially, their plan was perfect; using the Abyss Gates to infiltrate mystically Mechanism's rear, they intended to cause disruption with various means. This was similar in essence to what Wan Tinggui's Shadow did in the Abyss Continent. If left unchecked, the consequences could indeed be severe.
The only reason Wan Tinggui and his crew were so successful was that no Abyss Cultivator could see through their identities.
But it was different on the Mystical Mechanism side. With millions of Mystical Mechanism players, those who went to the frontlines only accounted for around thirty percent, while the remaining seventy percent of players were happily playing in the rear. And here come the Abyss Cultivators, popping up right from behind the player's main base with big, red targets over their heads.
Boy, what a spirit of self-delivery, could even food delivery apps like Meituan achieve that?
So although the Abyss Cultivators indeed had an element of surprise at first, the panic wasn't allowed to escalate to an irretrievable extent.
The arrival of players has changed not only the culture and customs, but also the behavior of the native residents of Mystical Mechanism Continent.
As long as they ask for help, these Abnormal People will definitely lend a hand!
For example, at the beginning, when Abyss Cultivators appeared and were about to slaughter a common small town on the edge of Mystical Mechanism Continent, planning to use this as an opportunity to spread a terrifying atmosphere throughout the entire continent.
These Abyss Cultivators were clever, having carefully investigated their target before choosing it, knowing that the town was mostly inhabited by commoners, with only a few Cultivators who had barely stepped into the path of cultivation.
These Cultivators belong to those whose talents are completely insufficient, so they could only enjoy the blessings of mundane life.
The only thing special about the town was a certain number of elderly Abnormal People gathered there.
Although these Abyss Cultivators didn't understand what these old Abnormal People were doing stuffed in this broken place, the absence of grandmasters meant nothing was hindering their massacre.
Yet, when the day of action arrived, just as the Abyss Cultivators set up their Great Formation and were about to strike, they were suddenly dumbfounded.
Because right before they revealed their disguises and attacked, a large number of Abnormal Cultivators of high level came crashing from the sky, capturing them all in one swoop!
Even the lowest level amongst these Abnormal Cultivators was from the Sixth Realm, and there were those from the Seventh Realm, including Great Cultivators, and not just one! Blood Control Sect, Complete Heaven Sect, Zen Sect, and even Purple Cloud Sect—it was clear from the clothing on these Abnormal People what their identities were.
The Abyss Cultivators died without knowing how they were exposed, as this was just an ordinary town.
"Teach you not to play fair in martial arts. Who asked you to mess with the elderly friends group..."
Seeing this post, Liang Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The most valuable experience Liang Yi had from playing games was this: Never underestimate any seemingly newbie player.
You have no idea whether the newbie in front of you is an alt account opened by some other grandmaster during their spare time, or seemingly a newbie but actually backed by countless grandmasters.
The Abyss Cultivators had encountered just such a group of elderly friends, who didn't care about hunting monsters or leveling and spent their days in the game pursuing various life professions and chatting with old friends to pass the time.
But the connections these people had and their identities in real life were all incredibly remarkable, and naturally, the people they could call upon were no ordinary players.
Though these elderly friends did not enjoy fighting, they still had a basic understanding of the game, and when a bunch of Level "??" red-named monsters lingered in front of them, they could easily guess that there should be some rare quest to trigger.
But they were too lazy to take on such quests; after all, they would rather spend the time playing chess with old Li next door.
Thus, these crafty folks didn't spook the monsters and instead directly ed the situation to people they knew—maybe their children, sons-in-law, or subordinates.
In the end, these Abyss Cultivators from the Sixth and Seventh Realm inexplicably fell at the hands of a group of elderly people who were only level ten or so.
But after scrolling further, Liang Yi found that although the players had captured these Abyss Cultivators, they had not discovered from which Abyss Gate they had been transported.
Subsequently, groups of Abyss Cultivators began to appear continuously from behind Mystical Mechanism Continent, although their realms were not high, mostly around the Sixth and Seventh Realm.
However, most of the residents in the towns of Mystical Mechanism Continent were common people who could not cultivate, and not every town had an Eighth Realm Cultivator stationed there, so the Abyss Cultivators initially succeeded in causing all the Super Forces to become deeply troubled for a while.
But there was one point that these Abyss Cultivators had not calculated.
After being disgusted by the Abnormal People for so long, they had thought that all Abnormal People were very strong, but now they suddenly found that there were even weaker Abnormal People in these places.
Even though they knew these Abnormal People had the Undying Attribute, the Abyss Cultivators still took out their full fury on these weaker individuals.
The players, originally treating it as a normal world event, became enraged by this action: Can't beat us at the front lines, now you're sneaking around killing our alts in the back! Are you even human!?
Liang Yi could only imagine how terrible the consequences would be if the entire player community was enraged; the last group to be universally wanted by players was the Devouring Spirit Sect, which had now scurried off to the Abyss Continent in disarray.
After a brief disturbance, Chen Hua and others were still considering whether to call back some high-level Cultivators from various forces to defend their own territories.
The Abyss Cultivators came and went without a trace, moving incredibly stealthily. After they struck they vanished in an instant, and it looked like they had done quite a bit of preparation for this operation.
And as for the location of the Abyss Gate, they still had no clues. There were countless Secret Realms left on Mystical Mechanism Continent, with no idea which one was hiding an Abyss Gate inside.
However, just when the Super Forces were somewhat panicking, they suddenly discovered that the Abnormal People seemed to have the ability to ignore disguises, precisely identifying their identities.
This made the various Super Forces quite happy. With a wave of their hands, clan missions were assigned.
The players were also delighted, originally thinking that even without a quest, they would teach these people a lesson; but now, revenge could also bring in some extra gains.
Using the Abyss Gate to transport themselves, the Abyss Cultivators were thoroughly in a plight, hiding in Secret Realms, not daring to move.
After losing several groups of people, they also discovered that as long as they were seen by Abnormal People, no matter how exquisite their disguise or how big their strength gap was, they were always recognized at a glance.
And the moment they were recognized, it meant that at this very moment, countless enthusiastic Abnormal Cultivators were hurrying over, ready to exchange their heads for rewards.
Now, the Abyss Cultivators finally experienced the feelings of the Devouring Spirit Sect; they swore that once back, they would apologize to their good brothers from the Devouring Spirit Sect.
To have lurked here for so many years, they were the real deal!
