Chapter 428: Road Builders(1/2)
Once the costs of death and injury are eliminated, many skills that are extremely dangerous and require lengthy, rigorous training become very fast to master.
Practicing wingsuit flying in "Paradise" is just such a thing.
Here, failure is nothing more than death, and the price of death is zero.
Well, not zero either.
If you die here, your wingsuit will be directly damaged and you will need to buy it again.
But there are really not many players who have played "Assassin's League" who are short of money. They rob banks and earn a starting profit of hundreds of thousands in virtual currency.
As for a wingsuit flight suit, the price is only 1,500, which is a complete waste.
If that doesn't work, you can sell your idle properties and convert them into working capital.
After all, in a big city, who doesn’t have a few idle properties?
In reality, if it were not illegal to rob a bank, it would not be difficult for every household to have multiple apartments.
In short, due to the combination of various factors, players' proficiency in wingsuit flying has increased rapidly.
Many people have gone back and forth to die dozens of times, and technology has greatly improved.
I can’t say how skillful I am, but I can probably control the direction of my flight to ensure that I fly to the Dinosaur Island instead of twisting and turning, or even diving headlong into the sea. It is not as difficult as it was at first.
So, when Wang Pan changed into a brand new wing suit and rushed to the platform again, he could already see a dense number of players in the sky above Dinosaur Island from a distance.
On a small platform, because the game experience of the players must be taken into consideration, when the players are in their 30s or 40s, they will start to branch out and do dynamic balancing.
But once you fly off this platform and enter the sky, the mirror images will automatically merge. Players from different small platforms will naturally meet in the sky above Dinosaur Island.
Although not all players will be merged, the number of players far exceeds the number of players on the platform.
But at the same time, the number of pterosaurs above Dinosaur Island has increased several times, and they are frantically intercepting and strangulating players in the air.
Today's players can only roughly control the direction of flight, but cannot control it accurately, and it is difficult to accurately control the landing point.
Even if he is not killed by the pterosaur in the air, he will fall to the island and die suddenly.
The few who are lucky enough to land on the sea will be directly shot to death on the sea because of the wrong posture when entering the water.
Suddenly, players continued to die in the sky, land, and sea of Dinosaur Island, turning into wisps of light and dissipating.
On the island, Lin You and Xiao Meng raised their heads and looked at the fireworks during the day. For a moment, they even felt a little beautiful.
Lin You felt that it would be a pity if only he and Xiao Meng could see such a beautiful scenery.
So I recorded a piece of it very unethically and posted it on Lingxi.
Needless to say, Lin You's influence goes without saying. As soon as the news was published, a large number of netizens immediately noticed it and rushed to watch it immediately.
Then I saw groups of pterosaurs soaring in the sky, flapping their wings from time to time. On the side of the pterosaurs, there was a fleeting shadow flying past. There was a red light flashing at the intersection, and then it turned into a flash.
Make white light.
Everyone was initially surprised by the swarms of pterosaurs - the news about Dinosaur Island is not new, but this is the first time everyone has seen it at such a close distance and from such a unique perspective.
After being surprised by the speed and novelty of the pterosaur, he began to wonder what the red and white lights were.
It wasn't until watching the second half of the video that Lin You thoughtfully slowed down the scene and everyone saw: players wearing wingsuits flying through the sky at high speed.
"The Battle for the Airspace of Dinosaur Island!"
"Oh my god, is it so tragic?"
"Can't they be given some weapons? Isn't this too miserable? It's just a gift!"
"Blockbuster style! Is there a better angle? It feels very interesting to watch!"
"I know a real wingsuit boss who also plays virtual games! Go ahead and urge him to start broadcasting!"
…
Lin You only glanced at it twice before closing the panel.
He also needs to work harder with Xiaomeng to build the Jurassic Park area.

On the small platform, Wang Pan had already started another wingsuit flight.
The first time I tried to enter the water, I was too close to the coast and crashed into a coral reef hidden underwater. I died suddenly on the spot.
The second time I tried to enter the water, due to the very slight angle of entry, I was shot dead on the water.
Then, he felt that he was fed up with running around again and again. After resurrecting, he went offline directly to find his wife.
He plans to call his wife and friends online to help transport flight suits.
Players have already tried it: only the clothes you wear can be brought into "Paradise".
So if you want to transport more flight suits at one time, you can only mobilize more people.
And the flight suits that are transported must be watched by someone.
Otherwise, the player will definitely use them all with the nonsense reason of "It's a pity if no one can use it, but out of kindness, I can help it realize its value", and there will be no way for him to get it.
The players are by no means treacherous and evil, but the per capita merit index in the game is definitely negative!
As soon as Wang Pan found his wife Miaomiao, she told him, "Your social media account's private messages have exploded, buzzing non-stop. Take a look."
Wang Pan opened it and saw that they were all urging him to start a live broadcast.
As one of the most famous extreme athletes in the country, he certainly has the reputation.
But as we all know, extreme sports is a very niche circle. Even though he is one of the most famous people, his fame is far from great.
In fact, his most famous deeds are not his winning awards in international extreme sports events, but his live broadcasts of climbing buildings with bare hands in Metropolis and Night City.
It was only after entering the virtual world that he realized what real "heat" was.
It's just that he didn't care much about it, and he ignored the live broadcast platforms that came to invite him to sign a contract, and he never signed a contract.
——Compared with wasting too much time on live broadcasts, he prefers to train in reality.
But Wang Pan's wife Miao Miao has a different view on this.
According to his wife, if there is an opportunity, he should seize it.
Earning more money not only guarantees the future, but can also be directly transformed into better sports equipment, more reliable operational support, and even a better logistics team.
And these can sometimes even directly improve his chances of survival when facing some extreme challenges.
As for the live broadcast time, these can be discussed.
Wang Pan knew what was going on and how rare it was to meet such a wife who was willing to support him. In just one afternoon, he was successfully persuaded by his wife Miaomiao and began to have some awareness of "self-operation".
He raised his head and saw the look in his wife's eyes that was both expectant and hesitant. He blinked and suddenly grinned: "Then let's do the live broadcast!"
After speaking, I posted a message on the spot and promoted the live broadcast address.
His wife Miaomiao immediately smiled and raised her eyebrows, rubbed his face like a dog, picked up the headband, put it on, and logged into the virtual world with him.
However, once the live broadcast is started, it will inevitably be affected by the audience.
Especially when you have the awareness of "operation", it is impossible not to consider the live broadcast effect, it is just a question of more or less.
After Wang Pan started broadcasting, he thought about it and decided to postpone the "entering the sea" operation. Instead, he prepared to explore the airspace of Dinosaur Island and get as close as possible to the group of pterosaurs to observe them up close.
——Get close to the pterosaurs from the air for excitement. The live broadcast effect is obviously much better than swimming in the sea.
He really wanted to try teasing the pterosaur and escape with its claws.
Not surprisingly, this operation brought him unprecedented popularity. Players came to watch the excitement in a short period of time, and even caught up with many first-line anchors.
I have to say that things that seek death are always the most eye-catching.
After the broadcast started, there was more than just this benefit: players continued to join the group and were willing to take the initiative to help transport flight suits.
Rather than "send death" themselves, they are more willing to support the boss in risking his life.
——This does not mean that the virtual world will never die, and all players will be brave enough to try wingsuit flying.
Not at all!
Regardless of the fact that "air combat" is in full swing in the sky above Dinosaur Island, in fact, these people account for a very small proportion among the total number of players.
More players saw the commotion and even tried to die tragically once before decisively giving up this crazy behavior.
Instead, choose a safer, less exciting option: go to the coast, build a boat, and row across.
Although this method seems slower, it is relatively stable, and as more and more people join, the progress is also accelerating.
Especially when someone left the staff behind, dropped the hot air balloon directly, and dragged the deflated balloon to the small platform.
Whether it is a hang glider or a parachute, materials and processes have undergone a major upgrade.
Ayi also temporarily put down his wingsuit flying, reunited with his friends, upgraded his hang glider, and experienced some close-in reconnaissance with a hang glider.
As a result, as soon as he got close to Dinosaur Island, he was chased by a pterosaur from a distance, tore the glider to pieces in the air, and fell down screaming.
But before he could fall into the forest, he was caught up by the pterosaur. His claws clasped his shoulders, and he was carried up to Yunxiao again. Then he released his claws and threw him down!
As far as the goal of landing on the island is concerned, the progress improvement is zero.
To be continued...
