Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 375 - 148: Black Tide New Unit: Player_5

After hesitating for a while, he turned his head to look at the player eating grilled fish beside him.

But he opened his mouth and still didn’t dare to ask directly.

Doing so seemed too risky to him, although the template had been completed, and generating more player templates wasn’t difficult.

However, if he were exposed without gaining any crucial information, it wouldn’t be rational and would only make the Player Clan more vigilant.

Just as he hesitated about how to start the conversation.

A player passed by him, their eyes met, and the Earth Thought Evil Spirit nodded casually, while the passing player also nodded and walked past him.

But after a few steps, the passing player seemed to sense something was off and turned to look at the Earth Thought Evil Spirit.

The gaze was focused on the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s face and slowly traveled up to the top of his head.

Hmm?

Upon closer observation, the passing player noticed something was wrong.

Every player has a name hovering above their head. Although the name can be hidden, the Emperor’s Fire Mark in front of it cannot be concealed.

This setup is generally understood by players to better distinguish between friend and foe.

After all, without a friendly fire immunity mechanism in the game, players who block all display information easily end up accidentally injuring teammates.

With doubt, the passing player activated their Analysis Ability.

[Black Tide·Player]:

Hunting Level: 29

Target Introduction: Player template created by Earth Thought Evil Spirit, a crucial element in the infiltration plan.

...

Seeing the analysis information, the passing player was dumbfounded.

He immediately took a screenshot of the analysis information and posted it in the regional voice channel:

"Oh my god, Earth Thought Bully has come up with a new tactic, guys, hurry and check out this screenshot (analysis screenshot.jpg)."

Hearing the voice channel’s calls, players looked at the analysis screenshot then scanned their surroundings, eventually focusing on the Earth Thought Evil Spirit sitting in the corner.

This scared the Earth Thought Evil Spirit, who immediately turned his gaze behind him.

Finding nothing behind him.

Earth Thought: ???

He hadn’t done anything, hadn’t even spoken a word.

Logically, it should’ve been impossible to be exposed, so why suddenly become the center of attention?

Feeling uneasy, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit forced a standard smile:

"Why are you all looking at me?"

The players didn’t speak.

Some players raised their hands to gather an Ink Flame Fireball, others readied their weapons, while some aimed their bows... The actions of nearby players made the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s scalp tingling.

But the problem was he had no idea how he got exposed.

To prove himself, he too raised his hand to conjure an Ink Flame Fireball, hoping to demonstrate himself through replicated effects.

This scene stunned the nearby players.

"Whoa, an Ink Flame Fireball, is Earth Thought Bully applying for grad school? How did it manage that?"

"I’m blown away, Earth Thought Bully is truly awesome, evolving infiltration tactics now, if it keeps evolving, it might really turn the tables."

"Luckily, we have the Analysis Ability, without it, it would’ve really blended in. Earth Thought Bully has bad intentions, gathering our player information to cause problems; let’s take it out quickly."

The Earth Thought Evil Spirit obviously didn’t realize the problem.

The analysis information explained everything; conjuring an Ink Flame Fireball wasn’t enough to explain.

"Wait."

The Earth Thought Evil Spirit, sensing something was wrong, wanted to argue but was surrounded by a myriad of skills.

Boom!

Connection severed.

...

Soon, Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s infiltration plan was exposed on the Player Forum.

[Attention everyone, Earth Thought Evil Spirit is up to its tricks again, make sure to recognize it.]

Here’s a way for everyone to identify: we players have floating name information above us, even if names are hidden, you can still see the crimson flame mark. But player templates made by Earth Thought Evil Spirit lack this display.

When you see them, kill on sight, Earth Thought Bully is definitely trying to learn more about us to devise even more annoying tactics.

Comments Section:

New Age Stone Ape: Where are the officials? We need to nerf the intelligent AI of Earth Thought Bully, just want to know what it’s up to. It’s already using infiltration tactics; if it keeps evolving, I can’t even imagine what it might do next. I strongly demand a nerf; monsters getting stronger with each game version is just too much; I disagree with this setup.

EX Death God: Now we’re sure, Earth Thought Bully is definitely playing smurf in the Evil Moon Domain, but what confuses me is the huge difference in combat style between Black Tide and Earth Thought Bully. Why not generate Catastrophe Series Soldiers to use a partial-damage backlash tactic; why opt for brute force? What’s Earth Thought Bully up to? Researching new tactics?

Unethical Sneak Attack: Although they can be immediately distinguished, I have a bold idea. Can we take Earth Thought Evil Spirit to the Domain ground for hunting, pretending not to know and have it work for us? How cool would it be to get a free damage dealer, haha.

You Chopped My Melon Right?: Makes sense, I’m curious too, can we take Earth Thought Bully for Evil Spirit hunting? I’d like to see its performance there, and we could share fewer evolution points and sacrificial power, wouldn’t that be satisfying?

...

There was a heated discussion about the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s infiltration plan on the forum.

Meanwhile, on the Evil Eye Tower Platform, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit looked puzzled.

"Evil Eye, where exactly did I go wrong?"

"Unable to discern, you might continue to try finding the exposure point."
