The town of Initiation is still bustling with people, and after an initial period of panic, uneasiness, and hesitation, players have finally settled down and begun to explore the world in front of them. Players can be seen talking and leveling up everywhere, and the entire Startup Town is also very lively.

But in Fang Zheng's eyes, all he saw was a surging undercurrent.

"How many more people are on the list today?"

Fang Zheng put down the drink in his hand and looked at Argo who was sitting across from him, although his question sounded clueless, Argo still quickly gave an answer.

"Twenty-seven."

"Looks like we're running out of time........."

Hearing Argo's answer, Fang Zheng frowned. Argo was a little curious, of course she knew what Fang Zheng was asking, in fact, one of the tasks entrusted by Fang Zheng to Argo was to let her go to the stone tablet of the Black Iron Palace every day to check the names and number of players who died there, although Argo didn't know what Fang Zheng wanted these for, but she still agreed to accept the commission.

But now, hearing Fang Zheng's emotion, Argo couldn't help but be a little nervous.

"What's more?"

"Time."

Fang Zheng said in a heavy tone again, and then he looked at Argo again.

"Haven't you found the right player yet?"

"Where is it so easy?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's request, Argo rolled his eyes angrily.

"You want a solo player who can keep up with your level progress and has outstanding strength, but where is this kind of person so easy to find. I've contacted a few of them, and although they showed interest, they immediately refused when they heard about the size of your group........."

"That's normal."

Fang Zheng is not very surprised by this, there are only six people in his team at the moment, and if he dies, he is a small team, even if those lone players want to join, they will look for those large guilds with a large number of people, not a small team like him. After all, according to Founder's requirements, they must be people with a certain strength, and this kind of person is also very proud, and if he wants to join, he will naturally look for teams and guilds with a large number of people.

"But then again, why do you say we're running out of time?"

Argo explained casually, but immediately focused on Fang Zheng's answer just now, after all, this was not just a game, she was also worried about her own life!

However, this time, Fang Zheng did not answer immediately, but asked Argo a rhetorical question.

"Do you remember the number of people you reported to me two days ago?"

"Hmm......... I remember that the day before yesterday there were five more, and yesterday there were nine......... But there's nothing wrong with that. ”

Argo thought about it for a moment, and then immediately gave an answer, but in Argo's opinion, it was not a big deal. Because there are as many as 10,000 players trapped in the game, so far, except for the first day of the game's open beta, 300 people who died due to various reasons, since the second day, the number of player deaths has been increasing very slowly, especially after the release of Founder's "Survival Manual", the number of player deaths has further decreased.

So far, there are less than five hundred people on the "death list" of the Black Iron Palace, which is already very good in Argo's opinion, although there are still people who die, but Argo can't do anything about it, after all, there are always some people who can't think about it or have accidents......... She's not a fairy either.

"That's pretty telling."

Fang Zheng shook his head, and then he stared intently at Argo.

"You have practiced with me, you should know very well that as far as the current level is concerned, almost most of the players have not yet come out of the novice zone, and in fact, there are not many elements that can endanger them in the entire novice zone. In other words, if you are careful, they will not die at all. ”

“……… Maybe someone accidentally encountered some hidden boss or stepped into a trap? ”

"It's not that simple."

Fang Zheng sighed and took a sip of his drink.

"While most of the players are calm on the surface, the stats don't lie, and they're starting to get impatient."

“……… Irritable? ”

"That's right."

Fang Zheng nodded, and then he turned his head to look at the crowded street not far away.

"It's been almost ten days since the game started, but the clearance of the first layer is still far away, and although everyone is still patient, patience is limited. You also know that most of the players here have played online games at one time or another, and the lords of the first tier are the weakest ones, and if we can't defeat them in a short period of time, it will only make more people start to get impatient. ”

Saying this, Fang Zheng looked at Argo again.

"If you think about it carefully, if we even need two months or more to beat the lord of the first layer, then when will we be able to clear the level? That's a hundred! Suppose it takes us two months to clear each layer of lords, and it takes two hundred months to fight a hundred layers, how many years will it take? ”

“…………… Hiss! ”

Hearing Fang Zheng's analysis, Argo also immediately gasped. She hadn't thought too much about it before, but now listening to Fang Zheng's analysis, Argo couldn't help but beat a drum in her heart.

"But, but......... The reason why it takes so long in the early stage is not because our players can't get good equipment by themselves, and the level is low? In the later stage, as long as we level up, and then add well-equipped, it won't take so long to push the lord boss! ”

"That being said, but when your life is at stake, you can't expect everyone to think calmly. In fact, the surge in the death toll speaks for itself. The fact that the first tier of lords has not been defeated so far has already made some people feel restless, some of them have chosen to level up aggressively, and some of them may simply be bent on death. Now it's okay to say, after all, the death of dozens of people, most people can't be noticed, but once the time is too long, they will become more and more anxious, and then there is likely to be a large-scale death of hundreds of people, and at that time it will be impossible to turn a blind eye, and in the worst case, it is very likely that there will be a mass panic. ”

“……………”

Hearing Fang Zheng's explanation, Argo's face suddenly turned pale, she clenched her fists, and her petite body began to tremble slightly, Argo was not stupid, she could understand the meaning of Fang Zheng's words, and when she thought that what this represented behind her was a living human life, Argo became more and more frightened.

She almost grabbed Fangzheng's hand and stared at him as if she were grasping a life-saving straw.

"So, so what can you do? You should have a way! ”

"Of course."

Fang Zheng nodded slightly.

"As the saying goes, a good start is half the battle, and the reason why everyone is so anxious now is because until now, no lord has been taken, so ......... I plan to challenge and destroy the first tier lord within a month! ”

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"This is a must, too short a time will make the player mistakenly think that the lord is not as dangerous as they think and will kill themselves, too long will make the player think that challenging the lord is too difficult and cause despair. One month is a very good time, and it can't be delayed any longer, so ......... I need more people, at least four more to form a team guild. ”

"Woo...............!!"

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Argo also gritted her teeth, and then she quickly turned on the system.

"I'll look for it later, and I'll see if there's anything you need............... I think there should have been a few of them......... Got it! ”

As he looked at his record quickly, Argo's eyes lit up.

"I have a few people here who are more qualified, but ........."

"But?"

"The other side also has its own requirements."

"Oh?"
