Chapter 1278: 412. Universe Wonders_2

Strangely, the players who had entered combat mode in their escape pods were not immediately destroyed and sent back to respawn at the space station.

This peculiar scene continued for about three minutes before it was broken.

A player who had already completed the first ring trial task forcefully logged off the game and then used a real-life chat software to send the destination information to Golden Dragon in the Sky.

Golden Dragon in the Sky didn’t hide it; he directly announced it in the game’s chat group.

It turned out that, at some unknown time, a black hole about 10 kilometers in diameter had appeared in that deep space zone.

Yes, it was the kind of black hole that even light could not escape from.

However, this black hole was a bit strange.

First, it was observable with the naked eye.

Second, it did not affect the use of deep space detectors; it just couldn’t be scanned.

Visually, it looked like a round, black celestial body.

Once the players’ escape pod got close to it, it was sucked in.

In this process, the escape pod would be destroyed, the player’s soul would separate from the body, drift into the black hole, while the body remained outside.

According to the player who had forcibly logged off, upon entering the black hole, one would find oneself in the form of a soul, appearing in a small town full of classic charm.

Next to the small town was a Magic Academy, where players could register and participate in trials.

That is to say, the new map updated in this expansion was situated inside the black hole.

Entering the map was akin to entering the black hole.

This unique method of loading the map was considered novel by the players who heard the news, and they praised the designers’ creativity for a change.

Was there a way to leave this new map?

The answer was affirmative.

But it was somewhat harsh.

Only after completing the first ring trial task and officially registering as a Wizard Apprentice at the Magic Academy could one freely enter and exit the black hole.

The player who had forced himself offline would have spent more time completing the apprentice registration story if he hadn’t thought of bringing the news back as soon as possible.

Golden Dragon in the Sky, with a generous gesture, rewarded a substantial amount of guild points and then ordered all guild members to set off.

A swarm of escape pods mobilized, turning into streaks of white light flying towards the black hole.

After they left, players distributed in other star systems finally arrived late at the space station and set up a safe zone.

By this time, the news about the new map being in the black hole had already spread far and wide.

Many players had just arrived at the space station and were eager to switch to their escape pods and set off.

Mason Gray was also among them.
