Chapter 377: Chapter 149 Fabricating Background, Environment Observation
Colorful Mist Coast, Evil Moon Domain.
After wandering around the camp for a bit and realizing no player noticed him, Earth Thought turned and left.
The Black Tide Player he created was indistinguishable from normal players in terms of appearance, so he decided to conduct the next intelligence investigation within the Evil Moon Domain.
According to the combat information records, if a player’s team is reduced in number during a confrontation with the Black Tide, they would proactively merge with nearby teams.
He decided to integrate into a player team using this method to avoid excessive dialogue and interactions within the camp.
After all, his understanding of the Player Clan’s cultural customs was quite limited, and too much conversation could easily expose problems.
Only in a fierce combat environment do players reduce the interaction process when coming into contact with each other.
Entering the Evil Moon Domain, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit searched for contact targets through the perception view of a projected avatar, and soon locked onto a player team.
A little over ten minutes later.
A figure dashed through the swirling black mist towards the player team engaged in battle.
Behind him, the surging Black Tide followed closely, constantly generating Evil Spirit Soldiers within the churning black mist.
"Brothers, all my teammates are dead, any position for a magic system? I’m a mage."
The players engaged in the fierce battle with the Black Tide Demonic Spirits heard this and all looked towards the approaching figure.
The person had rendered an odd blue hairstyle with armed vehicles and had a rather youthful appearance, looking like a boy of about 18.
"Bro, join the team directly, I’ll help you break free," said the middle-aged man with a full beard who was the lead, projecting his Gang Qi outwards and moving toward him before pulling his arm and tossing him to the back of the team to aid his escape.
The phenomenon of mixed groups in the Evil Moon scenarios was very common.
Many player fixed teams, when facing significant losses against the Black Tide, would choose to mix with nearby player squads and sustain themselves through cooperation to continue earning sacrificial power benefits.
So, for a magic player suddenly requesting to join the team, none of the squad members made a big deal of it.
Upon seeing himself easily blend into the Player Clan’s team, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit felt a secret thrill.
Countless failures finally led to success, filling him with a sense of achievement.
Facing the surging Evil Spirits ahead, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit at this moment conjured an Ink Flame Fireball, hurling it directly at the Black Tide.
The struck Black Tide Demonic Spirits instantly erupted in blazing black flames on their surfaces, perfectly emulating the expected reaction upon being hit.
This was also a setting pre-thought by the Earth Thought Evil Spirit.
If there was only a special effects display without actual damage performance, it would certainly raise the suspicions of the Player Clan members during battle.
Thus, he pursued a two-pronged approach.
Manipulating the projection avatars of the Black Tide, he modified the display effects of both the Black Tide and Evil Spirits based on the template player’s actions.
Both attack and damage reception were under his control, so naturally, no issues arose.
Regarding damage performance, he could precisely extract some of the energy within the Black Tide, creating the appearance of weakness.
In the heat of battle, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit would occasionally shout a line commonly used by players during combat:
"Come on, brothers, the rewards from this wave aren’t low." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"That Earth Thought Bully is utterly deplorable, costing me my potions and bullying me with fewer people; everyone needs to take him down."
"Nice job, brothers, let’s defeat the evil spirits!"
...
During this period, the Evil Eye on the Tower would also provide real-time data guidance.
For instance, occasionally pulling out a potion to drink to match the typical player battle behavior.
No detail should be neglected lest it reveals any discrepancies.
Initially, Earth Thought’s behavior didn’t raise any issues with the squad players; they even found the new teammate quite good.
Not only was his output effective, but he also shouted passionately throughout, working very hard during the battle, much better than the players who liked to laze around and slack off.
However, the squad members quickly realized something was off.
They noticed this player, despite fighting hard, never sent a team join request.
A free output who uses his own potions?
This behavior completely defied the logical thinking of a normal player.
No matter how intense the battle, the interest was always the most crucial thing players cared about; otherwise, there would be no need to seek cooperation with nearby teams.
But this new player was so fired up throughout, yet never sent a team request, which was very unreasonable.
More importantly, during the intense battle, they utilized team voice chat where direct talking was very inconvenient.
Recalling the recent hot topic discussed in the forums, "Earth Thought Infiltration Tactics," they immediately formed a hypothesis in their hearts.
"Qi Yuan, analyze him!" the squad captain, positioned at the forefront, said deeply over the voice channel.
Hearing this, the female player standing next to the Earth Thought Evil Spirit turned to glance at him.
Analysis ability activated, and information flowed into her mind.
Seeing the analysis title [Black Tide·Player], the female player known as Qi Yuan couldn’t hold back.
"Boss, our team has been infiltrated by an Earth Thought Evil Spirit."
"I knew something was wrong; no new player requesting to join a group doesn’t send a team request first thing, it was indeed a Six-Eared Macaque molded by the Earth Thought Evil Spirit."
"Boss, what should we do, take him out?"
"No, the more output, the less dividend. Why kill an Earth Thought Evil Spirit that helps us fight for free labor? Keep it."
"Right, don’t kill it, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit infiltrated our squad to investigate player intelligence. It definitely won’t let us be easily slain by Evil Spirits. With it here, we have an extra invisible protection layer. After all, it’s hard-earned to mix into a team after so many of the Earth Thought Evil Spirits failed."
The captain’s thought was immediately supported by other teammates.
