My players are all acting

That night, Meng Yuan also kept an eye on the progress of the players.

It has to be said that these players are getting more and more fierce.

Meng Yuan had already seen the content of this historical slice, and thought that Yu Jiaxuan's fifty-rider hijacking camp would block players for a day or two, but he didn't expect that many players had already cleared the level on the first day, and the next day systematically The strategy is already out.

Even Wang Wenchuan's political reform, a historically difficult problem, did not restrict players for too long. The top few players basically cleared the level in three days.

Li Hongyun was the first to clear the level, and Fan Cun, Zhao Haiping, Chu Ge and other players followed closely behind and completed the level that night.

Even some players who had not performed so well before performed quite well this time.

There were more than a dozen players who cleared the first wave.

And according to this speed calculation, the number of players who cleared the level in a week's time is probably in the thousands.

There are also some very evil situations. For example, Chu Ge creatively played Wang Wenchuan as a power minister. He stabilized his position by actively transferring power to the emperor, and through fierce party struggles and cruel suppression of dissidents. It took five years To further stabilize the new law, it was only at the end of the day that it was a waste of money, and the new law was used to accumulate a large amount of military resources for the Qi army in this historical slice.

In the illusion of the trial where Chu Ge was, after he arrived in Niuzhuji, he didn't need to do the one-shot operation like Li Hongyun. Just spending money can make the golden man retreat.

Because the Qi Dynasty already had military expenditures, and Niuzhuji also had a ready-made navy. As long as the players persevere in the reform, even if they don't earn any money, they can still try to use the navy and loach boats here to fight against the golden soldiers.

It's just that the more successful the reform, the more money you can spend, and the more weapons and ships you'll get.

It stands to reason that Meng Yuan should be happy to see the talents of the players emerge in large numbers.

But this time, he showed a sad face again.

The merchant asked very understandingly: "Why, are you worried about your entry into the list again?"

Meng Yuan was very reluctant to admit it, but finally nodded: "Yeah... I feel like I've tried my best this time, can I get into the top 100?"

The merchant thought for a while: "Then what should we do, should you try harder to refresh your results, or just throw all the top 100 people into the ultimate trial?"

Meng Yuan was silent for a moment: "I'll think about it again."

His gaze crossed layers of historical fog and refocused on this slice of history.

At this time, he was very fortunate, but fortunately, he was a real sorter, and he could change the rules of the game at any time, and as long as he changed it cleverly, the players would not notice it.

Want to cram a hundred people into this slice of history?

In fact, it is not impossible.

As more and more historical slices were recovered, especially after the recovery of the entire Dasheng Dynasty's historical slices, the power of the orderers he had mastered was also soaring.

Stuffing a hundred people into the historical slice is nothing more than the fact that each person has a weaker power, but at this time, the power of the sorter is completely enough.

But the question is, if you put a hundred people in it, who are they going to play?

All playing Wang Wenchuan? That must be impossible.

It is too strange that a hundred Wang Wenchuan suddenly appeared in the court hall of the Qi Dynasty.

Moreover, the more people are stuffed in, the possibility of revealing the secret will increase, so it is also possible to be suddenly discovered by a monster halfway and enter the expedition mode of the sequencer in advance.

So, you have to think about it.

After Meng Yuan thought for a long time, he suddenly had an idea.

What if we put all one hundred players in and systematically replaced the core officials who were up and down the Qi Dynasty?

Let each player play their role well, but at the same time, let them all work within the framework of Wang Wenchuan's reform.

Use this group of the most disciplined players to test Wang Wenchuan's new method, is it feasible?

Thinking of this, Meng Yuan immediately made a decision, and that's it!

After the players see the new selection list for the ultimate trial, they will definitely be surprised, right?

Perhaps in such a new mode, they can play some special showy operations, maybe?

...

In the early morning, players woke up one after another and left the game world of "Dark Sand".

Not long after, the official forum became lively.

The latest batch of players who have cleared the trial illusion of "Let's Talk" began to share their experience in conquering this dungeon, and many people began to discuss the content of this dungeon.

"To be honest, this dungeon...although it has been cleared, it's not very enjoyable."

"Indeed, although I still won in the end, there is always an indescribable feeling of aggrieved, as if something is wrong."

"Actually, the previous copy of General Deng was a bit aggrieved. After all, both Governor Lin and General Deng ended up in personal death. But this time... I feel even more aggrieved."

"This is normal. Look at the name of the dungeon and the last few broken poems. The whole dungeon is shrouded in the atmosphere of 'I'm still going to talk'."

"If we simply discuss the content of this dungeon, Wang Wenchuan and Yu Jiaxuan are indeed two tragic figures of different ages.

"Wang Wenchuan's reform is well-known in history. It's a pity that in the long ancient times, he has always been a blame man. He was asked to take the blame for the demise of the Qi Dynasty, and he was asked to take the blame for the Beiman's entry into the Central Plains. Yes, and even let him take the blame for the collapse of the entire feudal dynasty...

"His new party has been labeled as a traitor through the ages, that is to say, his personal morality is intact, and there is no black spot in his writing or conduct, otherwise he will be judged as a traitor through the ages without a doubt.

"His political opponents, on the other hand, are all called the dry city of the country, and they are regarded as examples of literati and bureaucrats who saved the people from suffering.

"But in fact, the Qi Dynasty at that time was nothing more than a choice between two roads, whether to reform to fight for a chance of life, or just muddle along and die slowly. Wang Wenchuan chose the former with fearless courage, while his political opponents were in agreement. chose the latter.

"One is 'If you want to take risks, let me do it myself, even if you have to bear the eternal infamy', and the other is 'After I die, don't care about the floods'.

"In terms of results, perhaps neither of these two kinds of people can save the Qi Dynasty, but in terms of spirit, Wang Wenchuan is indeed a hero who 'knows what can't be done and does it'.

"Fortunately, in modern society, people have finally recognized Wang Wenchuan's spirit and have a new evaluation of his reforms.

"It is conceivable that in the end, Wang Wenchuan should not only be disappointed that the reform failed to succeed, but also be confused about seeing through history.

"As he said in his poem, 'Wish to be a frivolous son of Wuling, born in Zhenguan Kaiyuan. Fighting cocks and running dogs for a lifetime, and knowing the safety of the world.' From the Zhenguan period to the Kaiyuan period, there were almost three generations. That is to say, if a person is born in the Zhenguan period, then he can live the most prosperous and worry-free life when he dies in the Kaiyuan period.

"If you are born a few years earlier, you will experience all kinds of melee against the king; if you are born a few years later, there will be another great turmoil where the people are struggling to survive.

"In ancient times, fighting cockfights and running dogs for a lifetime was an extremely difficult and low-probability event. It was difficult to last a person's life in a prosperous age, but a troubled age where people were destitute, starving and dying everywhere, and people with lofty ideals were not reused was the norm.

"Looking back at my life, even if Wang Wenchuan has learned a lot and is full of knowledge, I'm afraid he can only sigh."

"Well said, why not Yu Jiaxuan?

"Although the two people were in different periods of the Qi Dynasty, more than a hundred years apart, they actually have similarities in some places.

"Yu Jiaxuan is talented and has military talent. The robbery of the Fifty Riders is enough to prove his extraordinary courage. Whether it is suppressing bandits, managing or training soldiers, it can be seen that he is a great all-rounder.

"His articles on military theory are even a prophecy, predicting the fate of the Qi Dynasty's demise.

"But throughout his life, he has always been a firefighter. The Qi Dynasty regarded him as a tool from top to bottom. The emperor didn't trust him as a 'reformer', and the officials also excluded him. To suppress the rebellion, to fight against bandits and peasant uprisings, but you don't want to see him really make some achievements. Once there is some improvement, you will try to suppress it.

"Even if he once wrote a poem like 'A man is as determined as iron. Look at your hands and mend the cracks in the sky.' The final ending is nothing more than a sentence of 'I want to say it'.

"I want to say it, but I say it's a cool autumn. This simple sentence expresses how much sadness and heartache.

"From this point of view, he is actually more tragic than Wang Wenchuan. The times just buried such a talent who might become a peerless star, and polished him into a poet.

"Some people say that if Yu Jiaxuan really became a famous general, those famous poems would not have been handed down to the world. But think about it the other way around, if Yu Jiaxuan can really bring the Flying Tiger Army he built himself to wipe out the golden soldiers and regain the Northland, How many magnificent poems should he write?

"In the end, I'm afraid there will be more than one sigh left for us."

"So, this dungeon is called 'I want to say it'? Because the two main tasks in this instance are the fate of 'I want to say it'."

"Yes, I used to be full of knowledge and ambition, but in the end, due to various reasons, I could only bury my knowledge in my heart. I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say it."

"I would like to talk about the third character in this dungeon, Zhang Renxia. I think his life is different from that of Yu Jiaxuan and Wang Wenchuan.

"The first two are hesitant to talk, mainly because they are subjectively hesitant to talk. Zhang Renxia is hesitant to talk from the perspective of the audience.

"His personality is just like his name, with the word 'Xia' throughout.

"Xia means 'a man with a long sword and a glass of wine'. Although Zhang Renxia does not have a sword and does not know martial arts, he always believes that he is practicing the spirit of a chivalry.

"From supporting Wang Wenchuan at the very beginning, to seeing that the implementation of the new law caused people to live in dire straits, he began to oppose Wang Wenchuan, and even posted on the refugee map, causing Wang Wenchuan to be dismissed from the prime minister. Every step of this actually stems from the chivalrous spirit in his heart. drive.

"After Wang Wenchuan was dismissed as prime minister, there was a New Party villain who wanted to slander Wang Wenchuan, and it was Zhang Renxia who spoke up for justice and was almost convicted for his words.

"This is enough to show that he didn't turn against Wang Wenchuan out of selfishness, but he was really practicing the spirit of chivalry in his heart.

"But, is his behavior really meaningful? Does it really have a lot of positive significance? He has been touted by the old party for hundreds of years, but what did those old parties do when the Qi Dynasty was in danger?

"From the viewer's point of view, Zhang Renxia can also be described as 'he who wants to say something'. I don't know how to evaluate him. It seems that no matter what I say, I can only swallow it silently.

"I can't judge whether he is right or wrong. I can only say that his words and deeds are from the heart. But it is precisely because of this that people have a stronger sense of disillusionment and powerlessness.

"Three right people, but none of them appeared in the right position and did not do the right thing. Perhaps, this is the deep meaning of 'talking about it'."

"Having said so much, in fact, the root of the problem lies with the emperor and the ancient system.

"Why didn't the three right people appear in the right position? Didn't do the right thing? In the final analysis, it is still the emperor's problem.

"Why can't Wang Wenchuan rectify the administration of officials? Is it because the officials are too powerful? Of course, this is also part of the reason. But the more important reason is that the emperor does not support him enough.

"Even the emperor himself was so stunned by the idea of ​​'sharing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats', how could it be possible for Wang Wenchuan to promote reforms with the power of the prime minister?

"Although the two are in different periods, in general, the emperor they met is considered reliable among the emperors of the Qi Dynasty.

"But even so, the emperor Wang Wenchuan was determined to implement the new law from the very beginning, and later he had a rift with Wang Wenchuan, and he did nothing by himself; the emperor Yu Jiaxuan always regarded him as a A 'reformed man' who has never had real trust and reuse.

"The emperor who looks good and has reached the average level is like this, but what about those emperors who are cheating?

"It is conceivable that if Wang Wenchuan or Yu Jiaxuan's emperors had the enterprising spirit, ambition of the universe, and talents like Emperor Taizong of Liang or Taizu Sheng, how dazzling light would they radiate?

"So, in the final analysis, it is because of the era of the family world, the emperor controlled the nine states and ten thousand squares, and he decided the world's major affairs with one word. But wise emperors are always rare, but foolish emperors and mediocre emperors often emerge in endlessly.

"That's why Taizu Sheng was able to support a whole slice of history by himself, while most of the emperors of the Qi Dynasty are only worthy of being the background board..."

Soon, the players' interpretation of the dungeon content became more and more in-depth.

It may be because this dungeon is more aggrieved than the previous dungeon, so the players' enthusiasm for discussion is even higher.

Some people are also guessing, how will this ultimate trial be carried out?

There are actually only two and a half core figures in this history slice, those two are Yu Jiaxuan and Wang Wenchuan, and Zhang Renxia barely counts as half.

If five or six or a dozen players enter, who else can they play? You can't count old party figures like Wen Junshi, can you?

And just when the players were guessing, the list of the ultimate trial came out.

More than ten top players have already cleared this new trial illusion. Although this surprised everyone, it is still reasonable.

After all, with the continuous opening of the Trial Illusion, players have mastered more and more sorter talents, and the puzzle-solving ideas have gradually caught up, and customs clearance has become smoother and smoother.

From the current point of view, the increased difficulty of the Trial Illusion has not caused too many obstacles to the players.

But what surprised all players was the number of people in this ultimate trial.

It even reached 100 people!

In other words, when the ultimate trial starts a week later, the top 100 players in the dungeon clearance record will all be able to enter the history slice of "I want to talk about it", and according to the notes on the list, after these 100 players enter the history slice, they can Self-selected identity within a certain range.

This is a bit interesting.

Although the players have taken collective actions several times, they were all in the gameplay of the Sequencer Expedition.

The Expedition of the Sequencer is completely different from the ultimate trial.

In terms of the game, the Expedition of the Ordered is more like a large-scale national war, and it is more inclined to the rules of the game, such as players can be resurrected after death, and some items can be directly summoned by consuming military funds, etc.; while the ultimate trial is more like In large-scale multiplayer dungeons, players are still acting as historical characters in the dungeon, and cannot go beyond the framework of reality.

And now, there are actually a hundred players working together to complete a multiplayer dungeon?

And you can choose your own identity?

In this way, there are more ways to play.

The players started discussing immediately.

"The top 100 can enter the ultimate trial? Is it so exciting?"

"I feel that I have worked hard and there is hope!"

"But, the ultimate trial is 100% pain-sensitive, I'm a little ignorant..."

"Fortunately, if you can really enter, it means that you have a deep understanding of this dungeon, and you don't have to worry about pain, because most of the bosses who entered the ultimate trial were directly beaten without injury. "

"Look at the main point! The point this time is that 100 people can choose their own identity! You can choose an identity that doesn't go to the battlefield."

"Don't go to the battlefield? What's the point of entering the ultimate trial? What's the point of being a civil servant?"

"Why do you look down on civil officials? Don't forget about Wang Wenchuan's reform!"

"Yes, there is Wang Wenchuan's reform! Then maybe we can replace all the officials of all the important states and counties of the Qi Dynasty with our own people? At that time, everyone will go to implement Wang Wenchuan's new law and see if it can be successful?"

"What a great idea! Suddenly looking forward to it!"

"Yes, this is the best! We can definitely separate out a dozen or twenty top leaders to lead the army and fight. The rest of the people will all be thrown into the internal affairs. Let's see if we can gather the strength of the players. Successfully promoted Wang Wenchuan's original idea!"

"I think some people can be assigned to be responsible for craftsmen. Although the Qi Dynasty is a bit slow in foreign wars, overall, the level of technological development is still good. There are elementary firearms, sea loach boats, and magic arm bows. There is step one... If we can innovate these technologies, the chances of winning will definitely be greatly improved."

"Yes, at the end of the ultimate trial, we must fight more powerful monsters in the battle of Niuzhu. If we can really use these weapons to make a difference in technology, it will be great!"

The players' brains were wide open in an instant, and they began to study the best identities of these 100 people.

After all, there has been a small group of players headed by Li Hongyun and Cui Huowang who have been trying to make flintlock guns, and have achieved some results.

In the historical slice, they might be able to advance the already good technology tree of the Qi Dynasty a little bit further. Not to mention researching the flintlock gun, even if it is just the artillery of the Dasheng Dynasty, it can be regarded as a powerful weapon. gain.

And if the flintlock gun, the big killer, can be developed in this historical slice, then players will be able to beat the monsters from the ultimate trial to the expedition of the sequencer.

...

Soon, the exciting ranking competition will start soon.

And the players also began to summarize the best customs clearance methods for the two lines of Yu Jiaxuan and Wang Wenchuan through the experiences of these customs clearance masters.

Among them, Chu Ge's treatment of Wang Wenchuan's line is the most novel, while the treatment of Li Hongyun and Zhao Haiping is the most practical and easy to replicate.

Many players were amazed at Chu Ge's use of Wang Wenchuan's identity as a prime minister, and were even a little secretly pleased.

But some people objected, because in this way, is Wang Wenchuan still Wang Wenchuan? They are also customs clearance, but they would rather do things like Wang Wenchuan in history.

Chu Ge's approach sparked small-scale discussions, but more people focused on the effectiveness of this approach.

After all, this customs clearance method is more efficient and can obtain more military funds.

As for whether this solution is reasonable, let's discuss it after we have completely conquered this historical slice!

...

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

This time, the enthusiasm of the players for the ultimate trial has been pushed to an unprecedented height.

There is no other reason, there are too many places for the ultimate trial this time!

With a quota of one hundred people, many players have the illusion that if I work hard, there will be hope.

Whether it is to experience more exciting game content, or to obtain the share after the game "Dark Sand", it is worthwhile for players to grab their heads for this opportunity.

Players of different professions showed their special abilities, either using the identity of Yu Jiaxuan to exert force, or using the identity of Wang Wenchuan to exercise martial arts, in short, they were all working hard to enter the top 100 goals.

Soon, it's time for the ultimate trial.

Zhao Haiping entered the special sequencer space of the ultimate trial as usual.

As a frequent visitor of the ultimate trial, he is quite familiar with the whole process.

It's just that this ultimate trial is very different from the usual ones.

Because there are hundreds of players this time!

Players appeared one after another in the sorter space, and many people were very excited to find acquaintances and greet each other.

In addition to Chu Ge, Li Hongyun, Fan Cun, Xia Ruoling, Huo Yunying, Lu Heng, Meng Yuan, etc., there are many old faces who have never appeared in the ultimate trial before, but they met as early as in the Sorcerer expedition. acquaintances, such as Li Weiyi, Cui Huowang and others.

These are elite players, and most of them have performed well in the Sequencer Expedition, so it's normal to know each other.

On the contrary, there are also a very small number of new faces who have never seen before, looking around curiously.

Seeing Meng Yuan, Zhao Haiping thought for a while, then stepped forward.

"I didn't see you on the list before, so I thought you couldn't get in." Zhao Haiping said.

Meng Yuan smiled a little embarrassedly: "Isn't this still coming in, ninety-two."

Zhao Haiping asked with some concern: "Why, is this dungeon not suitable for you? You are our new force to conquer the ultimate trial, so you can't be absent."

Although Meng Yuan played a supporting role in the Ultimate Trial before, he left a very deep impression on the players from singing to playing the emperor.

If the players were asked to select the most talented and acting players, then Meng Yuan would definitely be one of the important candidates.

Although Zhao Haiping and Chu Ge have certain talents in clearing dungeons, they are really inferior in these aspects and feel that they are far inferior to Meng Yuan.

Therefore, when Zhao Haiping saw that Meng Yuan did not appear on the list of one hundred people, his first reaction was surprise, and his second reaction was worry.

The reason why he was surprised was because Meng Yuan was able to enter the top ten or top five before, why couldn't he even enter the top 100 this time?

Even if the performance is abnormal, it should be no problem to keep the top 20 or 30.

This decline in strength is too fast, is there any problem that is difficult to solve?

Fortunately, 100 people were taken this time, and he was stuck in the 92nd place. If there were fewer players taken, wouldn't it be just a matter of brushing him off?

If such a player cannot enter the ultimate trial, it will definitely be a huge loss.

That's why Zhao Haiping came over to care.

Meng Yuan could only smile embarrassingly, and said: "This...it just so happens that this dungeon is a bit out of order, and I can't use my strengths. Don't worry, the next dungeon will be fine."

Zhao Haiping nodded: "That's good, come on!"

After taking care of Meng Yuan, he turned to chat with Chu Ge and others.

Meng Yuan shook his head helplessly.

Why did he only get ninety-two this time?

Of course it was because he was slack...

He was able to get the top five and top three before, although there were fewer players and less fierce competition at that time, but the more important reason was that the admission line was stuck here. In order to avoid forced black-box operations, he could only try to make it Enter the top five or top three by yourself.

But this time, he already felt in advance that he would not be able to enter the top ten at all, so he just opened up and expanded the quota for the ultimate trial to 100 people.

As a result, those players who felt that they had hope began to open the book frantically, and Meng Yuan certainly couldn't work as hard as before when his mentality was relaxed.

Under the ebb and flow, he finally entered the final trial with the 92nd place.

Anyway, it’s fine if you can get in, why think about so much.

It's just that Meng Yuan hasn't decided what kind of role he will play this time.

Or let the players choose first, and after the selection is over, he will act whatever is left in the end.

Anyway, he has three sorter talents, and he can play anything.

Before the ultimate trial started, Chu Ge gathered everyone together again and began to tell them the tactics this time.

"After research some time ago, we can basically confirm that the key to this ultimate trial lies in: national power.

"Just like the previous "It's a matter of waiting for the coffin to be closed" focused on solving puzzles, and "Feng Hou is not my will" focused on acting, this time's "I want to talk about it" also has a focus.

"In the process of conquering the historical slice, we will definitely have a big battle with the demon-possessed golden soldier in Niuzhuji. And this big battle will definitely surpass the situation we encountered in the simulated trial before.

"Iron Buddha Tu and Kidnapper Horse, the big killers of Golden Soldiers, will almost certainly appear, and the number will definitely not be small.

"Coupled with the blessing of demon power, this battle should not be underestimated.

"So, the top priority this time is on the economy and technology.

"The military is certainly important, but whether it is daily training or on-the-spot command, it is relatively fixed, and there is not so much room for development. It is basically no problem to leave it to Fan Cun, Zhao Haiping, and Li Hongyun.

"On the economic and technological side, it depends on how much income we can get in the process of governing the country, how much military resources we can provide to the army, and whether we can develop some advanced weapons and equipment...

"And those are the deciding factors on the battlefield.

"So, I tend to think that players who have experience in this line of Wang Wenchuan's reform will go to various places to act as officials like Zhizhou, and we will promote this reform together; artisan players like Cui Huowang will directly enter the Ministry of Industry and other departments , leading the research and development of new weapons.

"Okay, everyone can claim their identities by themselves. I will make the final deployment when it is almost confirmed."

These players had roughly determined their main attack direction before entering, so they had already made a preliminary division according to their respective identities when Chu Ge gave an order.

Those who want to serve as various local officials to implement new laws, those who enter the Ministry of Industry to lead technology research and development, and those who serve as military officers and generals to fight the Battle of Niuzhu... all stand by region.

Chu Ge, on the other hand, carried out a simple redistribution to optimize the composition of personnel.

At this moment, someone weakly raised his hand and asked, "I have a question. The emperor in this slice of history... can we also play it?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone suddenly realized that this character had been missed before.

Can the emperor play it?

Judging from past experience, it is obviously possible.

Because the mystery of historical slicing has already been solved in the simulated trial, so in the ultimate trial, multiple people play any role to fight against the demon, and the selection of people to play is actually very loose.

The previous copy of "Fenghou is not my will" has actually chosen the identity of the emperor.

It's just that if you play the role of the emperor in the ultimate trial, you can directly throw these military funds to other players, but the most important point is that your acting skills must be good, and the demons cannot see the clues.

Thinking about it this way, everyone suddenly realized that this seems to be a role that cannot be ignored?

If the emperor is not one of his own, then if something goes wrong and Wang Wenchuan is inexplicably dismissed, wouldn't this group of players who promote the new law all be caught blind?

Who should I choose?

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Meng Yuan in unison.

Chu Ge also understood immediately, and nodded: "Well, the role of the emperor is none other than you! Only your acting skills are what we can absolutely trust!"
