230 Second wave of players
Eight flesh statues covered in cast iron and heavy armor were stationed at the entrance to the ruins of the underground temple, the large pool, and the burial chamber of the senior priest, becoming the most powerful defender of the conquered area.
In particular, the crossroads in the High Priest's Tomb, in addition to the passage leading to the High Priest's Residence and the Great Kitchen, as well as the secret passage to the High Priest's Tomb, there are two other passages that exhausted players are temporarily unable to explore.
Sending players to be stationed here is obviously not effective in sending these powerful Ao statues who will not be tired or distracted, after all, no one knows when some terrible and powerful monsters will rush out of the endless darkness of the underground temple ruins.
They block the passage to the unknown area, so players can move and rest in the safe area.
Originally, after encountering the ghost priest, Wutong once wondered if it was a bit stupid to use this underground temple ruins as the headquarters of the "Secret Shadow" guild, but now it seems that with eight physical statues in charge, the number of feasible surnames has greatly increased.
The "key" he obtained from Hadron was a subtle spell accompanied by a few strange gestures, and he only had to perform it once in front of these arcane statues to gain the most basic control permissions, and in this respect, these arcane statues were really no different from robots.
It's a pity that the permissions they get are too low, or rather, the "key" permissions held by the ghost priest are too low, and under the most basic control authority, the Occults can only understand the simplest orders, except for ordering them to guard the passage and strictly prohibiting any undead creatures, arcane beasts and dangerous animals other than them from passing through, the Occults will not respond to Sycamore at all to their orders to attack and leave the temple.
The handymen have been working hard to sort out the areas that have been conquered and repair several collapsed holes in the ceiling.
They used logs to prop up a thick slab under the hole, then drove layers of wooden stakes into the wall of the hole, and laid layers of slabs on top of the stakes, and finally filled the middle of the layers of slabs with earth, carefully solid.
In this way, the passage from the outside world to the inside of the underground temple ruins is perfectly sealed, as long as the outer pit is filled with earth, and with the crazy growth rate of the plants in the forest, no one will be able to find those holes in the dense forest in less than two days.
The temple, which had been cleaned by handymen with brooms, brushes, and mops, was given a new look, and torches were inserted into small holes every few meters in the walls of the passage, and the bright light illuminated the otherwise terrifying underground temple.
The rotten furniture in the temple has also been cleaned out, and according to the uncle's needs, it has been replaced with all kinds of rough furniture made by the craftsmen trained in the guild.
The uncle almost couldn't wait to move his administrative staff to this seemingly formal office location, but the staff in the different places were busy as if no one else was busy.
The combatants who had rested for a while were embarrassed to be lazy when they saw that the logistics staff were so busy, and they gathered again, planning to continue to explore this huge temple and strive to expand the area of the guild headquarters as soon as possible, after all, they had only cleared less than 30% of the total area of this underground temple.
While the fighters were preparing, Wutong looked at the corpses of the seven corpses of the senior priest and worried, what should these guys do? Looking at the state of their corpses, it can be said that they are ready to be resurrected at any time, and one archdeacon has already made them anxious, and if seven are resurrected at the same time, I am afraid that the entire underground temple will be turned over.
But if you want to destroy it like this, everyone is a little reluctant, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that these senior priests who are still just corpses, and the former archdeacons of the temple, all still have a mission, in order to be on the stage after the resurrection, if they destroy their corpses now, it will undoubtedly directly annihilate the follow-up plot in the embryonic state.
Tasks are such a thing, knowing that there are dangers, but no player is willing to give up, because often the more difficult the task, the more high the return.
Finally, the head-scratching Wutong ordered the logistics staff to reload the seven corpses into those coffins, and then hoisted them into the deep well trap in the secret passage next to the high priest's residence through pulleys and ropes, and the size was just right!
Because of the fear, Wutong was still very immoral, so he ordered the handymen to fill the gaps between the coffins in the deep well trap, bury them there directly, and freeze the stone slabs on them, ensuring the safety as much as possible.
In this way, whether these guys resurrect themselves, or someone to carry out the task of resurrecting them, they can't easily get them out of it, Wutong estimates, if these senior priests are resurrected by themselves, there is a chance that they will suffocate again, and if someone comes to save them and carry out the resurrection mission, it is estimated that they will not be found if the entire temple is turned over.
For the idea of the sycamore, the lion all said that they broke out in a cold sweat, which is also too bad!
The renovated Shadow Warriors are in high spirits, and even the pastoral brothers who were hung up before have been resurrected and run back, with a physical statue guarding the crossroads, they can rest assured that they can boldly explore, without fear of being cut off.
Moreover, if you encounter a monster that is difficult for players to resist, you can also go back and hide at the crossroads, and defeat the opponent with the help of the power of the Aoxiang, the Aoxiang is dead, but the person is alive, although the Aoxiang can only accept the order of the guard, then lead the monster to it, it will not fail to carry out the guardian order, right?
In the passage opposite the burial chamber of the senior priest, it seems to be the collective residence of the low-level priest, a total of ten small rooms are arranged in two columns facing each other, and no monsters were found here, everyone scattered and searched for these ten small rooms, but probably because it was the residence of the low-level priest, there was nothing too surprising to surprise the loot, and a total of nearly 100 gold coins and more than 2,500 silver coins were harvested.
In addition to this, they found some tools, ornaments, and jewelry:
A set of glass test tubes, a grinder for unknown purposes, a silver candlestick, two bottles of lamp oil, a gold necklace, a silver comb, and a crystal hair ornament.
In addition, the more useful thing is an unidentified Divine Magic Siwen, the leather scroll containing this Divine Magic Siwen is rotten, but the Divine Magic Siwen is magically well preserved; There are also three bottles of anti-poison, and a dagger of [exquisite] quality.
These things, I don't know what they are used for the time being, maybe they are just simple trophies, but they are presented in different forms, at least those gold necklaces, crystal hair ornaments and other jewelry, can be directly sold for gold coins.
Sycamore was afraid that these things would have any special use when the time came, and now they were not too short of money, so they simply collected them all, stuffed them into their backpacks and put them together with the items they had found, the [exquisite] quality dagger, Sycamore threw it to None, and replaced the long dagger of ordinary quality that he carried, this thing is only the best he uses, and others can't exert their full combat power with short daggers.
Just as he was about to go deeper, an administrative staff of the guild hurriedly ran over and informed His Excellency the Executive President of Wutong that he had an urgent matter to find him, and asked him to hurry up and go to the office of the Executive President that had just been put into use, that is, the tomb of the senior priest who had just been cleared, the space here was large enough, and there were secret doors, needle rain traps, poisonous smoke traps and iron fences at the door as protection, and important materials and materials could be kept here to prevent loss and leakage.
Wutong glanced back speechlessly, the senior priest's tomb was not far from their current location, and it was only a few hundred meters away, the executive president's office was originally located in the area where the senior pastor's residence was, but the uncle felt that the location and environment of the newly conquered senior priest's tomb were better, and he actually moved again after such a skill.
As the remains of the underground temple are discovered, it is believed that such moves will continue to occur until they have discovered the entire dungeon.
Let the lion lead the team to continue exploring, there are two killer weapons and Xiaoxiao, it doesn't matter if he has him or not, anyway, in this dungeon, his ability can't be fully played.
Ran a few steps back to the burial chamber of the senior priest not far away, uh now the office of the executive president.
"Uncle, are you looking for me?"
There are a lot of people in the huge "office", and the people who come and go are the busy clerks and administrative staff under the uncle, and the uncle who runs the guild as a company is really not taboo, and he is not too cautious to work directly in the tomb.
A boss has several sets of teams, and the uncle uses his business experience in "Endless" to the fullest, and even Wutong, the nominal behind-the-scenes boss, can't figure out what scale the "Secret Shadow International Entertainment Co., Ltd." under his name has developed to.
Although almost half a month has passed in the game, in reality, it has only been five or six days since the open beta of "Endless".
As far as Wutong vaguely knows, the most basic thing about the "Secret Shadow International Entertainment Co., Ltd." under his name now is that it has two sets of teams, one inside and one outside, plus a half-employed and half-acquired job play company, and some subordinate messy departments, in general, in just a few days, the uncle has built up a company's framework with his vast business ability.
Wutong is not interested in these, and he can't figure it out, so he simply doesn't care, and throws all the power to the uncle to toss, and the specific performance of "Secret Shadow International Entertainment Co., Ltd." in the game is the "Secret Shadow" guild, the uncle wears many hats, but he still seems to be at ease, it seems that the scale of the company that the uncle was in charge of back then may not be small enough to be there.
"Boss, something happened."
Although the uncle said seriously, Wutong didn't see any anxiety from his expression, just followed the beckoning uncle to approach his "royal desk", a large log table that can be spliced, which is piled up with a large number of various strange things, seemingly messy, but the uncle can always find the items he needs.
This kind of large desk is as ugly as it looks, and it is very rough, except for the desktop is polished and smoothed, there are other places where even the bark has not been peeled, and all the furniture, utensils and other items used by the guild are all processed by the carpenters among the craftsmen recruited by the guild.
The first is to provide them with the opportunity to practice their skills, and the second is to reuse waste, and the [inferior] and [rough] quality furniture and wood products produced by their early skills training will not be sold at all, because there is no such cumbersome thing as furniture in the player organization at present, and only in the middle and late stages, when players start to build territories and private residences, will these things be used.
It is precisely because some handicraft professions are of no use at all in the early stage, and there is no player force that will waste the resources of the developing guild to cultivate them, resulting in a very embarrassing situation for the craftsmen who have obtained this kind of profession.
This has caused a large number of casual players who have obtained handicraft skills in the early stage, and the "Secret Shadow" guild has been cheapened for nothing, and there are island hoppers who act as cross-island highways, but all the handicraft players on the trial island involved in the "Secret Shadow" guild have been networked by the uncle and signed in to the company's name.
Perhaps compared with those large-scale player forces and giant virtual economic consortia and chaebols, "Secret Shadow International Entertainment Co., Ltd." and "Secret Shadow" guilds do not have any advantages in terms of power, manpower, material resources, resources, and funds, but the advantages of "Secret Shadow International Entertainment Co., Ltd." in the game "Endless" are too terrifying! Getting ahead of your time can break everyone
Therefore, in the early stage of the development of the guild, unless you take gold coins to burn and buy those expensive furniture directly from the NPC store, there is really no way to pursue high-end enjoyment, so what is the use of waste utilization, and you will change it when the conditions are good in the future.
At this point, the uncle's personal charm still surprised Wutong very much, his ability to empty gloves and white wolves is too amazing, and all the contracted personnel of the company and guild have almost never received a penny from him, but they were tempted by the piece of cake he drew fiercely with his arm, and one by one he almost gave him a cry with red eyes.
"The situation in Endless is starting to change, and our future competitors are starting to get moving! In addition, due to our involvement, the game progress and situation have been more or less affected and even accelerated in the trial island we have set foot in! ”
The uncle stopped his busy work for a moment, and explained to Wutong seriously: "First of all, the second wave of players in "Endless" is about to pour in, boss, you should know that the first wave of players, the vast majority of them are large player guilds, families, organizations, as well as companies, groups, and consortia in the major virtual economy industry, as well as professional game companies, plus "Player", "Advanced Player", "Super Player" list of masters, right?" Even small groups and casual gamers, who made up more than 80% of the population in the first wave of gamers, are overwhelmingly veteran gamers and younger players. ”
Although Wutong was rarely able to play games before,But some common sense and consultation on the game,How much I still know and hear about some,A game,The first time to enter the game in the early days of opening,It must be professionals、Professionals,And game guilds、Family and other forces,Plus young people who love games。
This first group is often the upper and middle structure of the game, and they usually enter the game as soon as the game is opened, or in the first few days, competing for the advantage in the early game in order to accumulate enough strength in the late game to make it easier to get ahead.
In other words, these people are basically the soul class of the entire game, the pioneers of game content and the promoters of the game process, and they are the real conceptual "players" in the usual sense.
The second wave of players is not so enthusiastic about the game, but they are not excluded, or the first wave of players missed out for various reasons, they may learn from friends that the game is good, with the idea of playing it is also good, they will become the main consumer group in the game, that is, the "general public".
And the third wave of no-player waves,It's through various channels to learn about this game.,Originally not very interested.,But curious.,People who want to try it.,They usually include younger players.,There are also older players.,And then a large number of ordinary players who have joined the game one after another.。
The ratio of the population of these three waves of players is often "2:3:5".
"And the most important thing is that the experience accumulation of the first wave of players has seen the results, and a large number of players have found their own way of playing and have begun to clarify the game route" The uncle said with a more serious face: "We are going to start preparing for the impact!" ”
