Chapter 4145 Release Process
Because the "Shenlong Team" is ranked below them, the gap between them and the first place team is slightly smaller compared to the huge gap between them and the first place team.
Therefore, the first thing they clicked on was the score breakdown of the Shenlong team.
"Shenlong Team - Total Score 25 points: 10 points (Normal Mode), 15 points (Battle Progress Score)"
After seeing the score breakdown of the Shenlong team, they couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes filled with a mixture of relief and surprise.
The reason is quite simple; just look at the composition of their scores:
「万游之主——总积分41分：20分（选择并完成挑战1）、20分（观察者评分）、1分（战斗进度分）」
Judging solely from the progress of the battle, the Shenlong team completely crushed them!
However, because the Wanyouzhizhu team chose to participate in the challenge mode when they were mining elemental gems, they were given 20 points directly.
In addition, there was the inexplicable observer rating of 20 points.
With these two inexplicable points, they jumped up to second place.
In this situation, it's understandable that they might feel a sense of relief.
at the same time.
Barbaregon also saw the score breakdown of the "Lord of All Games" team, and fell silent when it saw that their progress score was only 1 point.
But when I saw that the challenge mode comes with a base score of 20 points, the silence was no longer a calm stagnation, but rather like a thunderclap in the silence, which exploded in my heart with a deafening roar.
The entire team of the Lord of Ten Thousand Games was filled with relief.
Barbaregon's current feeling was... regret!
Too late to regret!
Previously, it thought that choosing the normal mode was a wise move after weighing the pros and cons, but now it only felt that it was a foolish decision!
If they had chosen the challenge mode back then, their team's total score could have been raised to 35 points!
Although 35 points still did not surpass the "Lord of Ten Thousand Games" team's 41 points, Babaregon had a strange intuition... It guessed that the reason why the Lord of Ten Thousand Games team was able to obtain the observer's approval score was most likely because they chose the challenge mode.
In other words, if they had also chosen challenge mode, the observer's score would not have been zero.
Barbaregun regretted it more and more the more he thought about it!
A decision made in the name of reason is not as good as a decision made by a group of people who are obsessed with fragrances and act without thinking.
Yes, once Babaregon saw that the "Lord of Ten Thousand Tours" was a member of the Quxiang Clan, he could basically be certain that their choice of challenge mode was definitely not a rational one.
It's not that it looks down on the Fragrance Seekers, but rather that throughout the entire White Sun Mirror Domain, all major races perceive the Fragrance Seekers as: hot-blooded idiots.
To put it nicely, it's like the treatment given to the protagonist in a novel.
To put it bluntly, they are easily swayed by self-pity and get carried away.
They often make decisions based on recklessness and intuition.
Therefore, Babaregon was 90% confident that the Lord of Ten Thousand Games team's choice of challenge mode was absolutely impulsive and made on a whim.
"Perhaps the heavens favor the passionate 'protagonists'." Babalegon sighed helplessly, his words tinged with bitterness.
A hint of regret flashed in the eyes of both the wealthy businessman and the knight.
Because after they looked at the score composition, they clicked on the walkthrough for the game "Lord of Ten Thousand Games".
Skipping over the unnecessary travel, I only looked at a few key points, such as the choice of challenge mode and the progress of the battle.
After watching it, they could confirm that the Lord of Ten Thousand Games team perfectly matched the public's stereotype of the Fragrance Clan: passionate and energetic, but also brainless and fragile.
Judging from the video recording alone, they couldn't see why the Lord of Ten Thousand Games team had a higher score than them.
In other words, it was all luck.
They clearly had the potential to go even further...
With regret and mixed feelings, everyone turned their gaze from the second-place winner to the top of the leaderboard.
"First Place: Rabbit Hole, 130 points (Part of the process is disclosed; click to view)"
The total score of 130 points is quite impressive.
They don't need to click in to look closely to guess the score composition: 100 points is the score you get for a perfect pass, and the extra 30 points are the observer's approval score.
The actual score was indeed as they had expected.
This also raised a question in everyone's mind: even Rabbit Hole only got 30 points in the observer's score, so how did the Lord of Ten Thousand Games get 20 points? Did they do something special to gain extra recognition from the observers?
But from the video recording just now, it's not clear what they did anything special.
Suppressing their doubts for the time being, they looked at the video recording of the rabbit hole process.
Even though only a portion was publicly available, they still couldn't resist clicking to take a look...
They desperately want to know: who exactly are the people behind the rabbit hole? And how did they manage to achieve a perfect completion of Nereid?
As they make their choices, the information on the text field transforms into a series of dynamic, two-dimensional images.
The image shows the appearance of the Rabbit Hole team from a third-person perspective.
Once everyone saw what they looked like, all the questions that had been hanging in their minds, whether it was the Dragon Team to which Babaregon belonged, the Lord of Ten Thousand Games Team, or the other teams on the leaderboard at this moment, were put to rest.
Rabbit Hole was actually a team from the Dream Mirror organization!
In a sense, this is what an official squad is like. It's normal for an official squad to be stronger than a regular squad.
only……
Isn't the Rabbit Hole Squad a bit too strong?
Meanwhile, while other teams were still exploring the normal mode of Nereid, they had already completed the perfect version of the hunt?
Can't the perfect version of the hunt be simpler?
Filled with curiosity and doubt, they continued watching the video.
After a while.
The wealthy businessman exclaimed, "Isn't this too short? Why is there only such a small amount of footage?!"
Only a small portion of the Rabbit Hole process was filmed.
Furthermore, it skipped the standard version of Nereid and instead presented the mechanics of the perfect version of Nereid through video.
For example, various changes of tactics, various tests, and even hand-to-hand combat...
This Nereid is completely different from the Nereid they fought! They were playing against bots, while the Rabbit Hole Squad was facing a real dragon!
That's all the Rabbit Hole team showed; they didn't show how they cracked the Nereid mechanic at all.
Even the knight couldn't help but say, "This is not fair. We show the whole process directly, so why can they only show part of the process?"
Barbaregon glanced at the knight and said quietly, "Because they are number one."
knight:"……"
Barbaregon turned his head, his gaze falling on the last frame of the playback.
In the video, the man named Angel suddenly raised his hand, his long index finger gently touching his lips, and made a "shh" gesture towards the camera.
It was just an ordinary gesture, but the extraordinary feeling seemed to penetrate the screen.
Barbaregon didn't know how to describe it.
If it had been to the library in Rabbit Town and read a book called "The Aesthetics of Lenses and the Art of Film Boxes," it might be able to describe the feeling... It's called breaking the fourth wall.
Although Barbaregun and the others couldn't describe the feeling, they could sense that Angel in the picture seemed to want to say something to them.
"Was he trying to say... to be continued?"
Barbaregon made a guess.
As for what is meant by "to be continued," it undoubtedly refers to the ongoing process of completing the walkthrough.
Rabbit Hole could have chosen not to disclose the process, but they only disclosed a small part of it. Perhaps this was for the sake of the so-called follow-up?
"Could it be that the complete video recording will be available for a fee?" the wealthy businessman speculated, projecting his own experience onto others.
Barbaregon shook his head: "I don't know, but he shouldn't be that kind of person. We'll find out by asking him when we get out."
The wealthy businessman didn't react at first, and nodded subconsciously. Suddenly, he froze, and hurriedly turned to look at Barbaregon: "Commander, you don't happen to know Mr. Angel, do you?"
Barbaregon remained calm and said indifferently, "I know him. He came to Pipi Castle once before, just to find me."
"Eh--?"
"?!!"
As soon as those words were spoken, the way both the wealthy merchant and the knight looked at Barbaregon changed.
Barbaregon scoffed, "My connections are beyond your comprehension."
After speaking, Barbaregon turned around and clicked the "Leave" button on the portal. It was preparing to return to the Dream Crystal Plains... at least to stop Angor and ask him what that action meant.
In a burst of dazzling white light, the Dragon Squad left Nereid.
……
Time goes back to a quarter of an hour ago.
After Montedan gave the new approval score, the settlement information in the text box finally appeared.
The settlement was generally stable, and basically in line with their guesses.
There were no additional rewards. The only extra reward was the "Kerfel Shovel" they had found earlier from the settlement.
Unlike other dungeons that give you treasure chests after you clear them, this one only gives you points.
130 points.
This wasn't surprising, as they had already calculated their final score after learning that Montessori had given them an extra 20 points for recognition.
So, overall, there were no unexpected surprises in the Sandbox Wonderland settlement.
It's highly likely that the "surprise" will only arrive based on the points ranking after the entire Sandbox Wonderland is completed.
The only thing that surprised everyone was that Wonderland asked them if they wanted to show the challenge process.
It's important to know that in external instances, you can only choose whether to show the walkthrough if you reach 100% perfect progress; but here, you can choose whether to show the walkthrough regardless of whether you complete the instance or not.
"Should we demonstrate the process?" Rabbit Girl, as the leader of the Rabbit Hole team, asked the two team members for their opinions.
Of course, the main person being questioned was Angell.
Gray Porcelain understood what the rabbit girl meant and said directly, "I'll listen to you."
All eyes turned to Angell.
After thinking about it, Angell decided to forget about it.
Although their challenge did not reveal any extraordinary abilities, the only remarkable display was the illusion he performed.
His illusions were not a secret to the outside world.
The library in Rabbit Town was created by illusion magic and has stood to this day.
Therefore, Ingres could actually choose to display it.
But after thinking about it, he decided against it... mainly because his preparations before the Perfect Challenge were a bit too over-the-top, whether it was prospecting, mining, or refining...
It's so smooth it's like having a map with supernatural vision.
While Angor could use the explanation that "the normal version has been explored," the time was still too short.
On the very first day that the six-tier puzzle levels were available, he had already explored the entire map in the normal version and was even able to replicate it in the perfect version... There are definitely still some people who don't believe it.
Therefore, after thinking it over, Angell decided not to disclose the process.
But just then, the rabbit girl said, "It seems the first place winner has special privileges; they can selectively reveal parts of the process!"
Upon hearing the rabbit girl's words, Angell almost instantly overturned his previous conclusion.
"Announcement! We're releasing part of the process!"
Rabbit Girl: "?"
Angor: "Let's release the footage of the perfect version of Nereid unleashing his special abilities."
After a pause, Angell asked, "Can you do video editing?"
The rabbit girl hesitated for a moment, checked the permissions, and nodded: "It seems okay."
Angell: "Then you'll learn from me and edit this part of the footage!"
Angell teaches the bunny girl how to edit footage, and which footage to edit.
After the editing was finished, the rabbit girl was a little confused: "Is that all? There's not a single scene of our battle."
The clips provided by Angor are filled with the figures of Nereid, and the perspective is handled in a very impactful way—the camera sometimes shoots from a low angle close to the ground, making the huge body of the rainbow dragon almost fill the entire screen; at other times it cuts in from their perspective, making the dragon's wings and claws that blot out the sky suddenly magnified in front of them.
The tiny figure confronting the colossal object is repeatedly cut and spliced together, each frame exuding a suffocating sense of oppression, as if it will be crushed by that enormous creature at any moment.
The only scene without a clear contrast is the last scene given by Ingres.
The image shows him extending his index finger to make a "shh" gesture.
However, the rabbit girl didn't know what this meant. Was it to make Nereid "quiet" in order to demonstrate their power?
Angel shook his head: "Of course not, this is a trailer."
The rabbit girl and the gray porcelain were both stunned by this unexpected answer: "Huh?"
"That last action is an editing technique used in the trailer; it's telling everyone: this isn't over, there's more to come!"
The crowd still didn't understand what Angell meant.
What exactly does "to be continued" mean?
Angell said matter-of-factly, "Of course I'm referring to the process of clearing Nereid. What a great opportunity! With this trailer, we can pique the curiosity of all the challengers to the maximum, making them eager to find out the truth."
"Then after we get out, we can just give the footage to Turing to edit, and we'll have new footage, right?"
Yes, the reason Angell changed his mind and decided to publish the process was to pave the way for Turing's next step: a full documentary.
Not only can they gain more variety show points, but they can also satisfy Turing's personal needs. Most importantly, they can edit out some content that cannot be shown in the light of day before releasing it.
It can be said that this achieves three goals at once!
