Chapter 105: On the Right Track (3rd Subscription)
"Lord of the Castle!"
"Lord of the Castle!"
……
The cries of respect or exclamation in my ears kept ringing out.
Meng Yang's face was serious, and he nodded slightly to the crowd around him from time to time, but deep down he felt a burst of darkness from time to time.
"Wandering in this shout of the city lord, it's really a little lost!"
The camp ahead was bustling, and even though the camp had been expanded and there was a large open area on the periphery, the noise and boiling sound of thousands of players pouring in at once still felt a bit noisy.
"Fortunately, I have accumulated a certain amount of experience after the first few summons, otherwise so many people will come in, the mission center will be crowded, and I will be tired to death when I am tired of issuing tasks and management."
Meng Yang glanced at the many new players surrounding the brands from a distance, and was quite satisfied with his gradually maturing design.
In this update, the first thing he did was to crown himself and confirm the title of the city lord of Desperate City, which was by no means his greed for power, it was completely for the sake of having a good name, and the layout and management behind the aspect.
Anyway, after the fall of the City of Despair, all the elders and leaders in the past were almost dead, and he is now "strong and strong", and he is the number one force in the City of Despair, and he can fully afford this title.
Meng Yang's management of new players is relatively simple now, and now that he has determined his identity as the city lord of the City of Despair, he has simply divided the functions of the government.
The aborigines and players who performed well in the previous few times, he directly accepted their administrative orders, such as Xu Zhe's engineering and construction department, Sun Dashou and Sun Shuai's industrial manufacturing department, as well as Li Yuncheng and Zhuang Dafa's external exploration team, as well as Sheila's logistics support and potions refining department, etc.
These departments are all administrative appointments, Meng Yang will issue "magic crystal coins" as department funds or salaries, with these simple departments to absorb and manage players, you can reduce a large part of his work, after all, a person is new to the other world, the first problem is to find a group and a guide.
Just after Meng Yang's appointment was issued, these departments were in a state of shortage of manpower, and it was up to their HR to fool how many players could join in.
Another part is to encourage communication between the aborigines and the players, the aborigines are much easier to manage than the players, one is the relatively small number of people, the other is the inherent hierarchy is clearer, the obedience is stronger, and the people who are in a desperate situation struggling to survive are more respectful of authority than those who live in times of peace.
First determine the work tasks and certain resources for the aborigines of the ninth and seventh districts, and then let them recruit players to assist on their own, which is indirectly equivalent to NPCs issuing novice tasks.
After the second and third summons of the players, the aborigines are gradually familiar with the players, and there is no need for Meng Yang to guide them in this regard, and some people who are young and bold spontaneously begin to intersect with the players.
The last point is that the summoning contract between Meng Yang and the players has become more and more perfect, there have been several previous tests, and the conflicts between some players and the natives have been included in the contract, and many times the all-round monitoring of the summoned elves will be automatically handled according to the contract.
Moreover, Meng Yang's original player quest and reputation system is still a very core aspect, which is partly for other players who are step-by-step or unwilling to join any faction.
Meng Yang has also given out a few simple tasks now, such as cleaning up the scorpion swarm that came to besiege the camp last time, collecting the spider silk of the colorful spider on the back of the Forest of Bones, one of the most raw materials, and the other side of the camp near the camp that scattered the wandering gnolls and hunting jackals last time, as well as other beast monsters such as firebirds and Komodo-like dragons.
The monsters of this world are actually a big treasure, not to mention the extraordinary species, which can refine potions, thick skin can make armor, and fangs can be used as materials, which are some ordinary beasts and insects
Many parts of the influence of "magic energy" are practical materials, which can be traded to replace magic crystals and weapons.
These missions aren't too difficult for novice players, but they're not easy either, and they require multiple players to work together to overcome psychological barriers.
Meng Yang actually didn't care too much about whether they could successfully complete the task, the most important thing was to provide an experience, basically after a few back and forth missions, probably new players would be able to integrate into the group, and they would also find that these novice tasks were not enough for those who wanted to exchange potions or obtain land qualifications, or they still had to write as a team.
As for the lone ranger, Meng Yang doesn't care, players can go around and give it a try, but it's one thing to have money to resurrect after dying later, if you don't earn magic crystal coins, the time of death in the future will continue to rise, the first time is 12 hours, the second time is 24 hours, the third time is 48 hours, and when you get to the back, you either work obediently or ...... Well, privately buying magic crystal coins for other players, anyway, in general, it is all about working to create value.
"I'm really not short of people now!"
Looking at the lively scene, Meng Yang exhaled lightly, he didn't expect that putting the battle scenes of the players who had been recorded by summoning elves on the official website would cause such a big heated discussion.
Meng Yang estimated that the more than 200 players in front of him should have ripped videos from the official website at first, and then edited and soundtracked these videos, and put them on major videos and social media, and then quickly formed a breaking point.
Meng Yang doesn't know how much of the Internet craze has caused now, but from the official website and forum access data fed back to him by the summoned elves, it is already at the level of millions, if it weren't for the summoned elves, I don't know if it belongs to black technology or the existence of the mysterious side, it is estimated that ordinary small websites and forums simply cannot support such a load.
"Alas, will the players who enter this time attract the attention of the official, I guess it will still be!"
Meng Yang can basically imagine that after the video of his battle between players and monsters in this world is released, it will definitely bring him a lot of attention, but it will inevitably attract the attention of the official forces.
It doesn't matter to him, in fact, many things can still be cooperated and win-win, as for why this aspect was not considered in the first place, uh...... He didn't expect that you can't expect an otaku who has only seen the school leader in reality to suddenly be able to think of this. Even if you think about it, how to say and how to deal with it is another thing.
However, man is a creature with strong adaptability, and in less than a month, Meng Yang, who is in this other world, is almost forced to grow up quickly by the pressure of survival, the environment, and the players.
From a casual mentality, I gradually had a step-by-step planning and consideration.
The first 1,000 people to enter the game, the point of summoning the circle is in the ninth district.
The Ninth District is the base camp, which is familiar to both him and the two hundred and fifty players before him, and the aborigines are also highly accepting of players.
Meng Yang planned to summon 3,000 people, the first batch of 1,000 people in the ninth city district, and the second batch in the seventh city district, but he was not ready to start immediately, probably another week or two, waiting for the first batch of 1,000 people to digest and adapt before proceeding.
As for the last 1,000 people, this is a key point of work later, there is no camp where humans gather in the eighth district, and Meng Yang is going to build a third camp with the location where the magic crystal warehouse was stored before.
The location of the warehouse is good, the key is that in addition to the almost emptied magic crystals, there are other raw materials such as iron ore, copper ore, wood, etc., which have actually been used up a little, but the total inventory is enough to support the camp that has just exceeded 1,000 people for a long time.
In Meng Yang's plan, the camp in the eighth district will mainly carry out some industrial manufacturing things, but he remembers that after the reopening of the service, the first thing that Mr. Sun Dashou came to do was to make steel, to build a steelmaking blast furnace.
There is no shortage of iron products in this world, and there is a lot of copper smelting, but it may be because of the process of magic crystal enchantment, so the development of pig iron and wrought iron is relatively backward in the aspect just now. After all, in terms of daily necessities, ordinary iron products are barely enough, and as weapons, iron products can be enchanted with magic crystals, and their hardness and sharpness can reach extremely high quality.
Just as Meng Yang was observing the dynamics of the new players, a sound of footsteps sounded behind him.
Meng ...... No, City Lord, City Lord, are you looking for me? ”
