Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Aftermath of the Siege
"Building a city? In this swamp? Su Yan said in surprise.
"Hmm...... I should have thought that if it was just to fight a dark wizard's field boss, it would be impossible to mobilize the players of the whole city, and even pull so many NPCs...... The environment of this dark swamp is poor, but it is a terra nullius land in Lianzhou, which is just right for building a city, and I can't think of any other reason why the company would spend so much money to build a town here. The fat man's small eyes were full of excitement.
"What's the use of building a city in this hellish place, is it to facilitate leveling?" Su Yan was still a little puzzled.
"That's very useful, you don't know that in this game, there is a limit to the number of transfer places in each city every year, and the transfer places of those martial arts halls and Taoist temples in this Lianzhou City need to spend a lot of money to buy, if you own a city, then you can freely transfer...... Can you imagine the whole of Shanghai becoming a game city......
Su Yan couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Is it a game for all...... That's crazy, can this game accommodate so many players? ”
"The area of the entire Lianzhou region is the size of half of China, and the dark swamp where we are now is equivalent to the area of Hebei Province, and there are no less than fifty places like Lianzhou that have been discovered now, and this is not the end of this game, how many people do you say this game can hold......" After all, the fat man used to be a high-level member of the company, and he has been deliberately studying this game, and the information he knows is far above Su Yan.
"Could it be that this game shijie is even bigger than the earth?!" Su Yan couldn't help but be stunned, although he had expected the huge scale of this game map, he didn't expect it to be so big.
The fat man said with excitement on his face: "Well, this game shijie can easily accommodate billions of people on the earth!" In this game, the only thing that really restricts the player's development is the number of job transfers, especially those popular combat professions, once this problem is solved, even if it is promoted to the whole shijie, it is no problem. ”
"Promote to all shijie?! But if everyone obtains powerful special abilities from this game, then the laws and systems in reality are estimated to immediately become a dead letter, and the entire shijie order will definitely collapse immediately...... "Su Yan can't imagine what hundreds of millions of players will be like when they flood into this game, let alone imagine what it would be like for Shijie to fly everywhere in real Shijie.
"Perhaps...... Or maybe not, don't you realize that it's always those people at the top, both in reality and in the game......"
Su Yan couldn't help but be silent, there is indeed no completely fair thing on this shijie, even in the game, it is too difficult for ordinary people to enter this game and want to develop.
The fat man couldn't help but smile when he saw Su Yan's lost look: "Don't worry too much, I don't know how long it will take for this game to develop like that, it's just the beginning, what we should do now is to quickly level up and improve equipment, although we are not early players in the game, but after all, it is not too late, and it is not difficult to get ahead in this game at present." ”
"I hope so......" Su Yan said with a wry smile, it was very easy for him to get ahead, as long as the profession of the dark Taoist was announced, but at that time, it was estimated that he would become a public enemy like the dark wizard.
I have to say that the fat man's ability to deduce is indeed very strong, and by dawn, due to the cutting down of shrubs within a radius of several miles, and the large number of bonfires burning on the ground, the black fog nearby has slowly dissipated a lot.
And in the center, a town in a swamp is fully formed.
In addition to the original defensive camp consisting of five stone towers, more than a dozen towers were erected around it, and the simple wall was nearing completion, this time a full three or four square kilometers of land, and the original defensive camp had begun to be further strengthened, and it seemed that it was preparing to build a fortress in the center of the city, and the intention of building a large city was fully revealed.
Even those NPCs are starting to be unsettled.
"Are you planning to set up another city in the swamp?!" The old Taoist of Qingyang Palace was already full of surprise and anger.
"It's just that we're just going to establish a forward position here, if we don't completely control this swamp, as long as the army retreats, those dark creatures will resurrect, and this swamp will become a dark place again, so we decided to build several forward supply bases in this thousand-mile swamp." The cheeky man of the Fifth Legion didn't care much about the old man's anger, and still smiled.
And Vice President Xu, who was in charge of building the city, remained silent on the side, obviously New Oriental Game Company was only responsible for building the city, and the actual behind-the-scenes controller should still be the Fifth Army, which is strong in battle.
The slighted old way became more and more angry: "Supply base? Is it necessary to build such a large base? Judging by the materials you brought, you should have prepared for it, why didn't you talk about building a base when you discussed it at the rally? ”
"It's just a few small bases, we can solve it ourselves, if Qingyang Palace also has this idea, we can build a few Taoist temples in this swamp."
"You ......" the old man was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"You are building a city without permission, and I will report this to the city lord!" A samurai NPC armed with a spear also had a chill on his face, and his identity was the leader of the garrison team of Lianzhou City, and it was obvious that these NPCs did not want to have another city less than a hundred miles away from Lianzhou City.
"Although this dark swamp is in the territory of Lianzhou, it is not under the jurisdiction of the city lord of Lianzhou, it is a borderless land, according to the laws of the empire, as long as we are here to block the attack of those dark creatures, we can be regarded as the pioneers of the new territory." The cheeky man smiled, obviously knowing that he had already made up his mind about this operation and did not care about the other party's threat.
The gun-wielding warrior's face changed slightly, and he immediately sneered: "Hmph, then I want to see how long you can block it, do you think this dark swamp can really be controlled casually?" ”
Not far away, Su Yan asked the fat man beside him in a low voice, "These NPCs will also interfere with the player's city building?" ”
"Well, I said I can't think of the NPCs in this game as if they were computer AIs...... To be precise, we can only be regarded as outsiders, and it will be difficult to build a city of our own. ”
Eventually, the dispute between the NPCs and several player elites became more and more serious, and the spear-wielding samurai even led his guards to evacuate back to the city.
Immediately, NPCshili such as Qingyang Palace and Spring and Autumn Sword Hall also left, leaving only a group of players in this dark swamp.
"It seems that these NPCs are not easy to fool, so we still have to prepare for the worst." Vice President Xu, who had not spoken, looked at the NPCs who had gone away and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Well, the next step in defending the city will definitely be extremely difficult." The cheeky man couldn't help frowning.
"Mr. Song, please rest assured, we have bought a full five million gold coins in multiple installments at that trading conference before, and with the previous accumulation, it is enough to support a big battle of tens of thousands of people."
*************
Beijing, in a skyscraper.
"You mean those guys in the south have already started building cities?!" An old man, Huo Ran, stood up from behind his luxurious desk and stared at the middle-aged man who had come to report to him.
The old man's hair was gray, but he was still in a straight suit and looked full of energy.
"Yes, I just received news from the game that the Fifth Legion and the New Oriental Game Group began to build a city in a swamp that belongs to no man's land."
"These guys are really daring, aren't they afraid of causing the suppression of the old shili in the game?"
"I heard that the people of the former alliance have also been co-opted by them this time, and the personnel of the former alliance headquarters in Nanyi City have been frequently transferred recently, and it is estimated that they are preparing to send some elites to Lianzhou for support."
"The former alliance also participated in the construction of the city? Hmph, it seems that everyone has developed too smoothly over the years, and they have forgotten the scars left before. ”
"What are we going to do? If they succeed in building a city, they will be able to gain combat classes much faster than us......"
The old man had already sat down again, waved his hand lightly, and said, "It's okay, the city that belongs to our players is not so easy to build, and it will take at least a few years to surpass us, but we also have to plan ahead...... Immediately put the reserves into the game to replenish our lack of personnel, and also to start accumulating supplies for the city. ”
"Are all the reserves in the game? That's too much...... "The middle-aged man asked with some hesitation.
"Then let those who are engaged in e-sports enter the game first, and select those with high basic attributes to change jobs." The old man sighed slightly, obviously it was still a hassle to let a large number of players enter the mysterious game shijie.
