It was only around 3 PM. Although Audelia had the idea of entering the Nightmare World, it was too early to sleep. So, she opened her computer.
Audelia originally wanted to chat with "唯我唯心", but found that she was offline.
“Strange… This guy was always online at this time. Why haven't I seen her for the past few days? Could it be that she was really busy as she said, or did she find a boyfriend?”
Since her online friend wasn't available, Audelia simply opened the "Nightmare World" section on the school's intranet.
Audelia had accidentally found this section through the school's intranet two days ago. Since she couldn't find any information about the Nightmare World on the external network, she thought that maybe some students at Saint Dance Academy had the same experience as her.
The search result surprised Audelia. She didn't expect that the school network already had a dedicated section!
However, this section was very quiet. Only one post was published by the moderator, "无所不知的胖爷新闻" - "Personal experience, I actually entered a strange nightmare world while dreaming at night!"
Audelia clicked on the post and found that it contained the player's experience in the Nightmare World. It was similar to Audelia's experience. Entering a strange world of mist, a strange voice, character settings, entering a game world...
However, the comment section at the bottom of the post said that anyone who had entered the Nightmare World could discuss it together.
This post had 0 replies and only 10 views, a pitiful number!
“Although there are few players, there are actually other players. Looking at the content of this section, it seems that the creator entered the Nightmare World the day after entering it themselves...” Audelia originally wanted to reply, but after thinking for a while, she gave up.
Audelia thought that there were only a few players who entered the Nightmare World. However, two days later, the situation changed dramatically!
The popularity of the "Nightmare World" section rose rapidly. Although the content inside was messy and chaotic—some were discussing the game content, some were shocked that they could play games while dreaming, some were speculating which experimental department started the experiment without permission, some were mocking that the students here had gone crazy... and so on, all kinds of things!
Audelia also posted a post, complaining about the game developer. Unexpectedly, the number of replies was quite high. It seemed that there was more than one player who got scammed. This made Audelia, who had died many times, feel much better.
The moderator seemed to have not managed the content in the section too much, allowing everyone to speak freely.
Audelia realized that a major reason for the rapid increase in the popularity of this section was that the number of players who appeared in the Nightmare World had increased. Because, in the past two days, Audelia saw players in the Starry Base. There were more than 20 players!
In addition, the moderator himself wrote a guide post, which was pinned and highlighted, which also played an important role!
【Nightmare Player Big Reveal, Take you to learn about the "Nightmare World", "Chapter One" Beginning Kill Strategy! (XX Day Update)】
This was a guide post published by the moderator, "无所不知的胖爷新闻", which not only included the moderator's observations and speculations about the Nightmare World, but also a guide for the opening kill. The content was very detailed.
After reading the content, Audelia realized that she seemed to have missed a lot of the content in the prologue.
However, unfortunately, after coming to the Starry Base, Audelia could no longer play "Chapter One".
In addition, the reason why so many players could arrive at the Starry Base so quickly in the past two days seemed to be because of this guide, which was also the main reason for the popularity of this section.
“Huh, the moderator updated the content again. Let me take a look...”
Audelia found that the moderator had updated the post again. She clicked on the post out of curiosity.
Audelia didn't notice that a gray shadow was approaching her from behind.
“Interesting, even the forum has been built and set up… It seems that the Nightmare World we created will soon be known by more people. I wonder when the government will notice it…” Zhang Xingyu had been busy learning about the Nightmare Power and fixing the loopholes in the Nightmare Game World together with the Nightmare Lord recently, so he didn't pay much attention to Audelia's activities in the room.
“Forum? What is that?” The Nightmare Lord asked curiously.
“Simply put, it's a place for information exchange and learning created on the internet, using the characteristics of the internet. Because of the nature of the internet, as long as there is a network, people all over the world can see and communicate.”
“It feels like a Magic Net…”
The Nightmare Lord frowned, seeming not to understand too well.
“Why can the internet allow people all over the world to communicate and speak? What is the principle behind it, how is it done?”
“……Uh, this is a bit complicated to explain. It involves computer and network technology…”
“In other words, you don't understand either.” The Nightmare Lord said with a bit of contempt.
“…………That's pretty much it. But the principle doesn't matter, what's important is that I know how to use it. This thing is very easy to use. Even a few-year-old child can learn it after a little practice!”
“It's that simple?” The Nightmare Lord's eyes widened.
“Yes, so it can quickly spread all over the world.”
Hearing Zhang Xingyu's words, the Nightmare Lord fell into deep thought.
Not knowing what the Nightmare Lord was thinking, Zhang Xingyu looked at the post that Audelia opened.
