Chapter 549: Chapter 525: Emergency Incident!
When entering a strange environment, the first thing most people do is observe their surroundings.
These players were no exception. As soon as they entered The End, they moved away from the teleportation gate while observing the environment.
Then they saw pairs of crimson eyes in the distance.
The characteristic of the Enderman is: once you make eye contact, you will be attacked.
Moreover, Endermen also have a skill: teleportation. When attacking players, they tend to teleport behind the players.
So, the tragedy happened.
The Endermen let out terrifying roars while rushing towards the players who had just teleported to The End. Some disappeared halfway, teleporting behind their target players.
With the current density of these players, the Endermen appeared directly in the middle of the crowd, roaring and attacking players.
A single Enderman’s roar is already terrifying, like a hysterical scream after total destruction of the throat and unbearable torture. Now, the Endermen rushing from the outskirts and the Endermen causing chaos in the crowd were all roaring madly together, making the combined sound absolutely horrifying!
Players who had just teleported merely landed in such a horrifying environment, their minds invaded by the demonic noises. Three of them, who were psychologically fragile, triggered Mirage Console’s protective mechanism, and were instantly transported to a beautiful spring meadow full of blooming flowers.
With a babbling river, a gentle breeze, the fragrance of flowers, and extremely soft soothing music, it calmed their racing hearts and panicked emotions.
Mavis, who had been watching them intently, opened a conspicuous teleportation gate and appeared from the gate, asking the three players whether they wanted to leave.
If they left, they would be forced to log off and could only log back in after half an hour. In addition, Cloud Dream would compensate the players for the unpleasant experience.
The three players, one male and two female, were still a bit confused and hadn’t fully understood what had happened when they saw the famous Cloud Dream mascot “Mavis” appear. They were immediately excited and began to ask Mavis questions.
Lincoln originally was eating with Camille Victoria, but the moment the protective mechanism was triggered, he received a reminder—his mobile phone, which was originally on silent mode, emitted three short, sharp beeps. This was a second-place emergency reminder from the virtual world, and regardless of what Lincoln was doing, he would receive a notification from Mavis.
Without even having time to explain, Lincoln put down his chopsticks and quickly left his seat, walking a few steps to Yue Pengju nearby, opening the suitcase he always carried with him. While putting on the headband, he sat down across from Yue Pengju: “There’s an emergency in the game; I need to deal with it first.”
Not waiting for Yue Pengju and Camille Victoria to ask questions, he quickly activated the headband.
With one blink, he found himself invisible and floating above a chaotic player team. Apparently, Mavis had sent him directly to the scene.
A screen appeared in front of him, quickly explaining the cause and effect of the situation.
Without any time to think, Lincoln immediately started to modify the code, abruptly disabling all Endermen’s teleportation abilities.
His plan was, of course, not that crude. He intended to prevent Endermen from using teleportation while players were being teleported. The Endermen’s teleportation skills could only be unlocked after the teleportation gate stopped working for 2 minutes.
But this change requires a bit more content, so he doesn’t have time for that right now, and he has to resort to a blunt all-out ban.
He had to be quick; with Cloud Dream’s current user base, similar problems could escalate quickly if not addressed promptly.
As for the team of Super Tomatoes beneath him and other worlds that plunged into a similar situation, tangled with Endermen and the chaotic player groups—
Lincoln directly used his super admin privileges and began to operate.
Entered game: “My World”.
With their superior numbers and the mysterious disappearance of Endermen interference, they had no reason to be as petty as Yi and Yelang.
As soon as the battle started, they divided their forces into ten groups, attacking the End Crystals on ten Obsidian Pillars simultaneously!
Under such circumstances, even the Ender Dragon didn’t know who to attack first. It randomly chose a target to pounce on.
The result was that the player blocked the attack with a shield, taking only minimal fall damage, just a flesh wound.
However, the Ender Dragon itself lost a chunk of health due to the dense rain of arrows. It only recovered health because of the presence of the End Crystals.
But the End Crystal healing it exploded in the next moment.
Not just one of them, but a total of eight crystals were blown up almost simultaneously!
Only the two crystals protected by a cage temporarily survived, but players had already teleported up using Ender Pearls and started breaking the cages. Soon, they could deal with the last two crystals.
What happened in the next moment made them involuntarily stop—
A countless number of Endermen suddenly spawned!
In the blink of an eye, the entire End floating island was occupied by densely packed Endermen. They flooded in from the edge of darkness, like a tidal wave, surging towards the central area where the players were, and submerged all of them in another blink of an eye.
Super Tomato could only say, “What the hell?” before being swallowed by a black wave of Endermen.
On two Obsidian Pillars, a male and a female player stared dumbfounded at the tidal wave of Endermen below, which submerged the entire ground and continuously surged like water.
“Damn it!” Lincoln cursed in the sky, looking at the Endermen raining like drops on the End floating island already in chaos. “I’m not even done fixing this, and you’re already causing trouble!”
With Yi and Yelang, every time an End Crystal was destroyed, only four Endermen appeared—because there were only two of them!
The number of Endermen spawned is twice the number of players.
The problem was, Super Tomato’s team had 132 people now!
So every time a crystal was destroyed, 132×2, or 264 Endermen, would spawn!
For eight crystals, it was 132×2×8=2112 Endermen!
When Lincoln designed this, he had thought this would happen. He prepared for such a scene while anticipating some mischievous fun.
But the issue was—he overestimated the players’ mental capacity to cope; he was still fixing the issue! How could they trigger it now?!
Even if the incident happened 10 minutes later, when the issue was patched, it would have been acceptable!
Then, he would definitely laugh at the scene.
Now he had to worry: wouldn’t this terrify the players?
However, the facts proved that he was overthinking.
The spectacular scene was too absurd and bizarre that it completely diluted the sense of terror; hardly anyone felt genuinely scared—they were only stunned and incredulous.
Just like the players on the Obsidian Pillars, upon seeing the “Enderman Ocean” below, they didn’t panic at all. Instead, they couldn’t help but sincerely exclaim:
“Amazing...”
