Chapter 4152 Try
There's still some time before the new day begins.
Although the stone table meeting had not officially ended, everyone had already dispersed.
Laplace was the first to leave, returning to the Tooth Fairy's territory, where he maintained the stability of the Mist Spirits while helping to calm the chaotic Tooth Fairy group.
Gray Porcelain and Gabriel dashed out of the Word Manor and headed straight for the camp below the floating island—now known as the "player camp" by various teams.
They are waiting here for the leaderboard to appear.
Montessone stayed at the Word Manor, learning about this new world that was both familiar and strange, while calming his somewhat excited emotions.
The rabbit girl also stayed at the Word Manor, but she quietly stretched her muscles on one side of the rose garden. After all, whether it was a solo challenge or a team effort, her role as a key fighter would remain unchanged, so warming up beforehand was definitely a good idea.
And Angell...
He also came to the players' camp, but his purpose was different from that of Gray Porcelain and the others.
He came to the camp for two purposes: first, to find Turing, and second, to make a small attempt.
Try not to rush things; it's not the right time yet.
Ingres first began searching for Turing's whereabouts.
Ingres originally thought that Turing had been following Laplace all along, but when he asked, he found out that he had sent Turing out to gather inspiration from the crowd, and that he had been doing so ever since.
Using his God-like perspective, Angell checked and found that Turing was currently located inside the players' camp.
With the faint scent of "The Magic Book of Fashion," Ingres found Turing without much effort.
Turing was seen floating around several Konoha teenagers, with text on the screen pouring out like beads from a broken string, apparently conducting an interview.
Angor approached stealthily, his Nightmare Illusion making him appear as a transparent shadow, so that even when he stood right in front of Turing, the latter remained completely unaware.
Only when they got closer could they hear clearly that Turing was chasing after the little guys holding up leaf-shaped umbrellas, asking them all sorts of questions: "Which team do you think will win this sandbox wonderland game?"
"What are your thoughts on clearing Nereid?"
"What do you think of the Lord of Ten Thousand Games team? What about the Divine Dragon team?"
The boys of the Konoha clan are naturally outgoing, let alone these adventurers who stay in the contestant camp—they call themselves adventurers.
For every question Turing asked, they could give ten different answers, and each person's answer would be different.
Sometimes they would even argue about it.
For example, some fans supported the Dragon Team, while others supported the Lord of Ten Thousand Games, which turned into a fan war.
Seeing this, Turing made no attempt to dissuade him.
Its screen flickers on and off, recording all their thoughts and fan quotes, just like a reporter camping out to grab the news.
After interviewing the group of Konoha boys, Turing drifted off, seemingly searching for his next interview target.
In its view, these are all excellent materials. If some of the interviewees are outstanding individuals, the subsequent editing will further enhance the variety show documentary.
Therefore, Turing would approach any person it saw who was not opposed to being interviewed.
Angell followed Turing invisibly for a while and found that very few people refused to be interviewed by Turing; almost everyone agreed to be interviewed.
Perhaps they had met Turing while working with Laplace and found it difficult to refuse? Or perhaps the "neighborhood" dynamic was so rare that it ignited their desire to express themselves?
Or perhaps, both?
In short, Turing's interview went even more smoothly than Ingres had imagined.
Just as Turing had finished interviewing all the seeded players in the western part of the player camp and was about to head to the northern part, Angel telepathically stopped him.
The moment Turing heard Ingres's voice, the little TV jumped.
"Master? Are you here?"
“I’m right next to you.” Angor cast a Nightmare Vision on Turing, allowing it to see him.
When Turing saw Angor, he immediately flew over excitedly and circled around him. However, after circling twice, he stopped: "I still need to continue collecting materials, so I can't stay with my master."
Angell: "It's alright, you can continue collecting materials. Besides, the reason I came to see you was to give you some materials."
As he spoke, Angell walked up to Turing.
Extending his right index finger, the tip glowing faintly green, he gently touched Turing.
The next second, Turing felt that a light screen covered by the power of fashion magic had appeared in front of the small TV.
“This is…” Turing looked curiously at the light screen that was not yet turned on.
“Once you activate the external fashion magic, you can see the content on the screen. The content is the entire process of the Rabbit Hole team in Nereid.” Angor: “I cut out some scenes that couldn’t be shown; the rest of the process is all there.”
Turing: "?! ...
A surprised emoji appeared on the small TV screen, which then turned into a restrained anticipation!
"Is this... for me?"
Angel nodded: "That's right, you'll do the editing. After it's finished, I'll release it."
Having received confirmation from Angor, Turing finally stopped suppressing his emotions, and a look of ecstatic joy appeared on the small screen. Even the two phantom limbs that Angor had installed on him seemed to be rubbing their hands together, expressing their delight.
It originally felt that simply recording the reactions of outsiders or contestants might be a bit monotonous and wouldn't generate high viewership.
But when Angel handed over the entire process of Nereid's first call to it, it knew that it had completed the last piece of the puzzle to guarantee viewership!
With this, even if the final variety show produced is terrible, the number of viewers will definitely not be small!
Turing kept expressing his joy to Angor and eagerly anticipating the next level, hoping it would also have a gameplay video recording.
Seeing Turing's greedy little expression, Angor said irritably, "I might not go into the next level."
Turing was instantly disappointed, and his phantom limb drooped.
"However... I will try my best to get my hands on the recording of the process."
Turing raised his head with delight.
Angel gently patted the small television. Since he had chosen to use the rabbit hole recording process to produce variety shows and related documentary programs, he would definitely want to maximize the program's revenue.
It's obviously not good to end the series after only one episode.
Angell planned to record as many episodes as he entered the rabbit hole.
Furthermore, he plans to turn the show into a seasonal program.
In this season's Area 1, the main perspective is that of the Rabbit Hole team; however, in the new area of the next season, Rabbit Hole will most likely no longer be contested, so other teams can cooperate.
There are many regional modules in Dream Crystal Plains, and each regional module can be made into a new season of the show.
A long-term, multi-season variety show?! Turing's eyes lit up like stars when he heard Angell's grand promise.
According to Angell's plan, this kind of program, which involves the entire Dream Crystal Plains and all the major races, is definitely a mega-production! It's even bigger than the variety shows in the entire Modern City!
"Are you leaving all the production to me?" Turing looked at Angor with a mixture of anticipation and worry.
Angel nodded: "Of course."
Upon receiving this reply, Turing felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders, but he also had some concerns.
With his own insight and editing skills, could he really produce such a large-scale, spectacular program?
Moreover, this is its debut work.
Seeing the worried expression flash across the small screen, Angell smiled and said, "If this were a modern city, your worries might be understandable."
After all, people in modern cities are exposed to all kinds of fashion shows and stage programs every day, and they have their own standards for judging variety shows.
And this standard is very high.
However, the various races in Dream Crystal Plains or the Mirror Realm of Daylight are different.
They have no exposure to variety shows on a regular basis, and 99% of them don't even have a clear concept of what "variety shows" are.
In this situation, Turing doesn't need to worry about his production quality at all. No matter how bad it is, it's still a crushing defeat for the people here.
Angell's words of comfort eased Turing's worries considerably, but it still dared not let its guard down, after all, this was its first program, and it wanted to do its best...
"Master, I may need to continue the interviews. This time, I want to interview more teams that have been to Nereid, so that I can highlight the quality of the main feature from various perspectives and dimensions!"
Seeing Turing's eager look, Angor didn't stop it, nodding and letting it drift deeper into the camp...
After Turing left.
Angell continued to remain hidden, wandering around the players' camp.
The second thing he was going to do was to make an attempt.
Although he can examine the levels within the six-layer puzzle from a god-like perspective, the level scenes he sees from the outside are all empty.
It's like a static model.
The real challenges only become apparent once you enter the level.
Take, for example, the standard version of Nereid. While it appears to be conquered by countless small teams, it's actually nothing more than a series of illusions woven from the powers of the fairy realm. And these things are completely invisible from a god-like perspective.
The same applies to other levels.
In this situation, how can one gain a broader perspective or more intelligence?
Angell came up with a method: to use the characteristics of Nightmare Illusion for positioning and guidance.
He plans to generate several Nightmare Nodes with special structures that can autonomously emit signals, and attach them to other challenge team members in a near-seamless manner.
Once these people enter the challenge level, he can track their location from a god-like perspective.
Of course, Angel wasn't trying to spy on the other teams' procedures; he was just making a small experiment.
If this attempt succeeds, then even if the bunny girl enters the Golden Land alone later, he will be able to see the bunny girl's challenge process through location tracking.
Even if the location fails, the nightmare nodes he leaves behind can act like a silent recorder, quietly recording the rabbit girl's movement trajectory and process details in the level.
Now, all he needs to do is search for the challenge teams that will be entering the six-fold puzzle challenge in the players' camp.
As I wandered around, I listened to various discussions.
Since Nereid has just come to a perfect end, the focus of everyone's discussion is still on Nereid and the Rabbit Hole team.
Besides expressing admiration and praise, many speculated about how the Rabbit Hole team managed to clear Nereid.
Now that Nereid is no longer accessible, some teams no longer care about strategies and have revealed the standard way to beat Nereid.
For example, it mentioned things like interrupting spellcasting backlash, safe zones, and so on.
This evoked a wave of emotions.
During this time, Angor even heard Turing's voice participating in the discussion, but it played more of a guiding role, leading others to marvel at the Nereid's mechanics and praise the speed of clearing the Rabbit Hole, which it then recorded in due course... which could then serve as an off-the-spot supplement to the Rabbit Hole walkthrough.
Although it may seem like a setup, at least for now, the players from the various teams are unaware of this.
Amidst the chorus of voices discussing Nereid, Angor discerned for a long time before finally finding a few sounds he had been eagerly awaiting.
"The West Second Squad has been confirmed to have failed." A slightly shrill report came through.
"Failed again? Tell me what happened." A calm male voice asked.
"Xidefeng and Xishenghuo's teamwork is fine. The chosen feather ornaments and butterfly wings amplify their talents, and with the two Fairy Bows, they've dragged the Golden Phantom into a whittle-down state. But Xilaiguo's luck is bad; the chosen leg ring isn't suitable for her talent, and the negative effect it triggers is Golden Fear—the faster she runs, the faster the fear comes..."
"In the end, despite his best efforts, Xilaiguo was still caught up by the Golden Phantom and instantly killed."
Once the team is short-handed, it's basically impossible to pass the second time, so the West Second Team had no choice but to give up.
“Okay, I understand. Have the West Second Squad take the bows and arrows and hand them over to the North First Squad. Next, have the North First Squad enter the Golden Land to try. This time, have them give up the leg rings and choose…” The steady male voice paused, as if making a decision: “Choose the rings engraved with wind patterns.”
"I see."
They stopped talking and seemed to have parted ways.
However, Angell had already identified the two individuals.
The two people having their conversation in a secluded corner have very unusual appearances. They have long limbs and semi-transparent skin with faint patterns of energy flow visible inside.
This is the Amber Shadow Clan from the Amber Crystal Institute. They are extremely skilled in speed and are natural parkour champions.
Previously, at the market on Silver Coral Island, Angor had seen two members of the Amber Shadow Clan, one named East Wind and the other North Light Chaser. North Light Chaser was disabled and unable to utilize his clan's talents, but his existence made Megi feel a sense of "destiny," which made Angor pay more attention to North Light Chaser.
Judging from the conversation between these two Amber Shadow Clan members, unlike the Crystal Eye Clan who assigned a small team to each checkpoint, they gathered all their members together to focus on one checkpoint—Golden Land.
And they only join one team at a time.
If the previous team fails to complete the mission and is eliminated, they will immediately analyze the reasons and then hand over the shared Wonderland items to the next team before attempting the mission again.
Share tools, share experiences, remain humble and patient, and advance step by step.
From Angell's perspective, this strategy is actually the most conventional and most effective.
For example, their "West 2" team is already able to hold off two Golden Phantoms. If the next "North 1" team chooses the right gold item, holding off three Golden Phantoms won't be a problem.
Of course, stalling doesn't mean you can kill them.
But as long as you don't die, a miracle might happen.
Therefore, Angor strongly agrees with the Shadow Clan's strategy.
He originally just wanted to randomly find a team to try it out, but he didn't expect to encounter a team with a good strategy and even a chance to pass the second level of the Golden City.
Angell couldn't help but feel delighted.
In this way, we can conduct tests and perhaps obtain more information about the Golden Land.
With this in mind, Angell followed the Shadow Clan and found the "Northern One" team, who were about to enter the Golden Land checkpoint...
