Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 376 - 148: Black Tide New Unit: Player_6

"Alright." The unwilling Earth Thought Evil Spirit immediately nodded, and in the blink of an eye, a new player unit materialized before him.

However, he made some modifications to the player’s appearance.

Height adjustment, eye-spacing adjustment, eyebrow shape adjustment... Once completed, the player’s appearance was entirely different from the original.

Seeing this, the hovering blue-skinned Evil Eye appeared very curious but also acknowledged that the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s infiltration tactics were indeed a good method to deeply understand the Player Clan.

Although it consumed large amounts of resources, all this effort was to defeat the Player Clan.

Once the new player unit was crafted, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit connected with its consciousness with the help of the Evil Eye.

A new round of infiltration plans began.

But this time, it was discovered as soon as it entered the camp and was focused and killed.

The confused Earth Thought Evil Spirit initiated the third time, fourth time... Until after the tenth death, Earth Thought Evil Spirit was completely dumbfounded.

The player template he created showed no visible flaws to the naked eye, so where exactly was the problem?

Just as the Earth Thought Evil Spirit was pondering this dilemma, the Evil Eye connected behind him spoke:

"Earth Thought, I know where the problem is."

"What problem?"

The Evil Eye didn’t answer directly but instead transmitted a piece of spliced image data into the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s mind.

The images showed the change in the Player Clan members’ gazes right before each discovery.

"Earth Thought, have you noticed? Each time they don’t show any unusual expressions when they see you, but when their gaze shifts to your upper right corner, there’s a pause, and then their expression changes."

As it spoke, a frame was captured from the footage, showing that every time they were discovered, the player’s gaze would glance to the upper right of his head.

"Why is this?"

The Earth Thought Evil Spirit felt utterly puzzled by this.

"It must be because there’s something there that only players can see."

Saying this, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit magnified the location to where the player’s gaze traveled, outlining the precise spot with a black line.

After hearing the Evil Eye’s analysis, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit suddenly felt a headache.

If it’s a mark only players can see, he had no way to create it.

Just as the Earth Thought Evil Spirit was about to give up, the Evil Eye spoke up:

"Earth Thought, perhaps I could attempt to create this mark that only players can see."

"How do you create something you can’t see?" The Earth Thought Evil Spirit was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

"We can filter from the patterns used by players—here are the 30 most common marks that appear on players’ equipment."

As the words fell, thirty insignias on the armored vehicles appeared in the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s mind.

Among them was the Emperor’s Fire mark representing the Player Faction.

"How do we solve the problem of the mark’s size?" The Earth Thought Evil Spirit asked the key question.

"It can be determined by the changes in the players’ pupils; the player information recorded in the database includes the details of their pupil changes."

"Taking the last discovery as an example, when the player is 13.62 meters away from you, the Player Clan member’s pupils adjust according to the distance and size of the object being viewed. For larger objects at a distance, the pupil would be more relaxed, and for targets farther away, a contraction of the pupil would be observed."

"In addition, we also have to consider that in bright conditions, players’ pupils exhibit some degree of change, and our simulation uses a normal environment as a reference."

Accompanied by the Evil Eye’s explanation, images of the players’ pupils dilating and constricting flashed in the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s mind, along with the respective scenes.

"Based on the data collected from multiple encounters with the Player Clan, it’s apparent that if a player’s pupils are more dilated, they may be viewing a relatively large or proximal object, occupying a more substantial range of the retinal image. If their gaze is more focused, it scrutinizes the target’s details, and combined with the database’s pupil change records, it gives a clearer analysis."

"To make the analysis more accurate, we can also discern using the eye movement visual changes of the Player Clan members."

"Using the distance of 13.62 meters as an example, I extracted all captured frames from player combat information records when observing targets around 13.62 meters. For instance, when the Evil Spirit under our control approaches the player, it freezes at 13.62 meters, followed by capturing all the pupil changes of the player as they track the Evil Spirit’s movement, which can all serve as reference data...."

Through the detailed analysis of the Evil Eye, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit understood the Evil Eye’s thoughts.

It wanted to simulate the change in players’ pupils when observing a gaze, depending on the size and distance of the target, using all recorded player information.

Then, use this as a reference to analyze the pupil changes when Player Clan members viewed other players’ upper right icons.

The data provided by the Evil Eye increased, leaving the Earth Thought Evil Spirit utterly baffled.

The hovering blue-skinned Evil Eye was listening intently, clearly envious of the Evil Eye’s powerful data processing capabilities.

This scene was also being monitored by Qi Sheng.

Having listened to the Evil Eye’s ideas, Qi Sheng inwardly applauded.

The Evil Eye’s capability had indeed exceeded his expectations; he assumed that after ten consecutive failures, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit would inevitably choose to abandon the plan.

But who would have thought that the Evil Eye found a new path to proceed.

However, Qi Sheng brought up another issue:

"Guidance, the players’ visual ability increases with their level, so using all players as a reference might not be reliable, right?"

Faced with the inquiry, the Guidance hovering beside him shook its head:

[Boss, this method is indeed feasible. The player models we create are all initialized, and except for slight differences between races, all settings for players of the same race are identical, including visual abilities. Even blind individuals in reality have the same initial vision as other players in the game. Although level-ups can enhance visual ability, at a range of 13.62 meters, all players can see the target clearly, with no pupil variation issue.]

[The enhancement in vision from leveling up only manifests when viewing distant targets due to differences in clarity.]

[In summary, at 13.62 meters, the players’ pupils are the same, unless they switch to Monster Form, where obvious differences appear.]

After listening to Guidance’s explanation, Qi Sheng nodded.

He was very curious about the further modifications by the Evil Eye.

During this time, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit, to test new tactics, changed unit types, enabling players to earn substantial profits.

His sacrificial power earnings skyrocketed as well.

Subsequently, to accelerate resource theft, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit switched all unit types to easy-to-kill damage-dealing units, and his earnings surged again.

He was very curious to see what new tricks the Earth Thought Evil Spirit could come up with.

Tricks are fine, as long as there’s profit, they’re most welcome.

...

After a day of testing.

The Earth Thought Evil Spirit changed to the 23rd mark, placing it in the upper right corner position.

This time, the mark was shaped like a burning crimson flame.

Returning to the players’ camp, nearby players just gave him a brief glance and then ignored him. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

This made the Earth Thought Evil Spirit realize that its infiltration strategy was initially successful.
