“Commander, Civilization Frontline just released a new map!”
“Oh?” The moment he logged in, heard the news, and his spirits immediately lifted.
Civilization Frontline is the second-ranked core virtual world within the endless virtual reality system created by the Ghost Captain, with peak concurrent players exceeding 500 million.
After virtual technology became widespread, traditional game developers began creating their own exclusive “game worlds,” completing a magnificent transition from 2D and 3D to fully immersive experiences.
However, none of those traditional games could compare to the massive popularity of Civilization Frontline.
Not only because it is the only “Ghost-series” virtual game, backed by the technology of Atlantis Corporation and the Ghost Captain, but also because of how “hardcore” the game is.
Whether it’s the real combat effects of cold and modern weapons, or the combat parameters of mechas and warships, everything is set at military training standards. Civilization Frontline is extremely close to reality, achieving the highest level of simulation currently possible with Ghost technology.
Even official forces like the Earth Defense Force are permanently stationed in Civilization Frontline for virtual training. After receiving official “VIP certification,” they have become the largest military force within the game!
Even more enticing is that civilian elites who stand out in this massive war game… have the chance to personally participate in real external wars of Earth civilization!
The Defense of Callisto and the Wormhole Defense Wars—several consecutive victories—have created a number of well-known star teams!
For example, the “Knights of the Round Table,” who once piloted a Sword Immortal mecha and were the first to counterattack into the wormhole during the Second Wormhole Defense War, have already become one of the most prestigious mercenary groups.
Major corporations are lining up to sponsor them, and merchandise of team members has become popular worldwide.
What virtual game could be more appealing than one that brings both fame and fortune?
Frenzied Earth citizens have sparked a “nationwide leveling craze,” with everyone participating in leveling up within Civilization Frontline, hoping that one day they too can become national heroes.
People no longer greet each other with “Have you eaten?” but instead ask, “What level is your artillery skill?” “Got your warship pilot license yet?” “Which mecha are you using?”
had quietly completed a universal form of military training.
If needed, every human on Earth could become his reserve soldiers!
…
“Rise of the Pirate King? That’s the name of the new map…” Klein stroked his chin as he carefully examined the background description, word by word.
A vast and ancient interstellar empire is declining from its peak, riddled with internal troubles and surrounded by powerful enemies. Meanwhile, in the remote Shattered Star Region, seven great pirate factions are locked in constant conflict…
Klein read meticulously, pondering every word—even every punctuation mark.
The background settings and main storyline in Civilization Frontline are not randomly fabricated by a design team. More and more evidence suggests that this virtual world hides a vast amount of real-world intelligence!
Whether it’s the Kara people, the Gemini, or the recently emerging Wolf Empire, the various NPC factions in Civilization Frontline have been repeatedly confirmed as real!
Even intelligence agencies from different countries have begun treating Civilization Frontline as one of their most important sources for gathering information about external civilizations!
Not long ago, a lucky player accidentally uncovered a hidden quest, which ultimately revealed clues about the hollow Moon, leading to the discovery of the hidden Ant Empire!
Others, by sheer coincidence, managed to obtain partial intelligence about the massive hidden organization known as the “Unity of All Things”…
Mechanical Bug: “…”
All kinds of subtle clues indicate that the Ghost Captain has planted countless hidden “Easter eggs” within Civilization Frontline, waiting for Earth players to uncover.
From the introduction of the new map, it seems that the main characters of this battlefield are pirates? And the official imperial forces are actually the ultimate villains?
That’s quite a subversive storyline!
Wait! Why does the player training content include bizarre requirements like “pirate personality analysis” and “basic looting”?
No wonder this map is labeled as “mildly violent” and requires players to be over 18 to enter…
“Huh? Wait a second! Isn’t the mental attribute requirement for this new map a bit high?”
After finishing the map description, Klein glanced at the player requirements—and froze.
“Required player mental attribute: above 20!”
The mental attribute is a new character stat that appeared after the last Civilization Frontline system update. So far, no one knows its exact function or evaluation criteria.
However, resourceful players have still managed to identify some patterns.
An average human’s mental attribute usually fluctuates between 5 and 10. Older individuals or those with higher intelligence tend to have slightly higher values than normal.
But even among exceptionally gifted individuals, this value generally remains below 18.
has a mental attribute of 13—slightly above average, but still far from the required 20 for the new map.
He even began to wonder if anyone in humanity could truly surpass a mental attribute of 20.
“Isn’t this map requirement a bit too high? Are we sure anyone can even enter it?” questioned.
“Ordinary people can’t, but the Ghost Knights definitely can. And… , how’s the investigation into human enhancement I asked you to look into?”
Among Atlantis’s purchase list, the First Sequence enhancement has just gone live, though very few people have dared to try it so far.
“There’s already progress. The Earth Defense Force is currently promoting First Sequence enhancement on a large scale. It’s said to be very effective, and no side effects have appeared so far.”
“Good! Anything produced by the Captain is top quality! Since the Captain has rolled this out widely, it must already be a mature and verified technology.
Gawain, immediately mobilize the guild’s funds. Our main combat members must undergo First Sequence enhancement as soon as possible. I’ll go first—let’s see how it improves personal attributes. It might even be related to the mental attribute.
Judging from the requirements of the new map, the entry threshold for advanced maps will likely keep increasing. If we want to stay in the top tier, we must closely follow the Captain’s lead!
Not just the First Sequence—if funds allow, we should also boldly try the later enhancements!
This map’s high requirements suggest it might be another battlefield mercenary mission, so we must secure a spot among the first group to enter!”
“Yes, Commander!” “Understood, Commander!”
Because they had previously destroyed a Gemini unmanned carrier, they received a substantial reward. Combined with their fame attracting major sponsorships and investments, the Knights of the Round Table now possess one of the most well-funded teams in the game.
And not just them—player groups worldwide began heated discussions about the new map. Topics like “Rise of the Pirate King,” “Human Enhancement,” and “Mental Attribute” quickly shot to trending searches!
“100,000 Whys”:
“Question: Is human enhancement safe? Will it massively boost mental attributes?”
“Brain Teaser Specialist”:
“Answer: Not only is it safe, it’s super refreshing! After using it, your legs won’t ache, your back won’t hurt, and you’ll have a great appetite!”
“Earth Defense Force (VIP Certified)”:
“The Earth Defense Force is publicly offering rewards for information on mental attributes. No limit on value—rewards have no upper cap!”
“Iron Will Team (VIP Certified)”:
“Our team is recruiting elite players with mental attributes above 20 for map exploration. Join us and enjoy core member待遇! PS: Due to our gender ratio, female players are preferred!”
“I’m a Pirate in Somalia”:
“Pirate training classes are now open! Veteran retired Somali pirates will teach you about mysterious pirate groups. Looting skills maxed out instantly—essential for exploring the new map! What are you waiting for? Contact: 186XXXXXXX…”
“Professional Snitch”:
“Real-name report filed. The instructor above should consider run ASAP!”
“…”
