There are many different opinions on the forum posts.
Some people support Baili Xin's approach, while others question it.
Some people support the Shentian Association, while others criticize it for bullying others by taking advantage of its power.
The supporters of both sides are equal and there is a lot of back and forth.
Baili Xin didn't think that a single killing of a chicken to scare the monkeys would be enough to turn the tide, and the current tug-of-war in public opinion on the forum was also within his expectations.
The days of his disappearance during the "Test of Courage Game" had caused him to be questioned. Now that he has been able to raise his position to the current level where he is in opposition to the Shentian Guild, it is the result of efforts from many aspects.
His performance in the copy.
There is also Sun Ning and others guiding public opinion outside.
Judging from the current performance, Sun Ning has done his best at that time.
After taking a quick look at the contents of several other posts, Baili Xin turned off the computer, left the dormitory and headed for the headquarters of the Xinhuo Guild.
Others had received the news long ago and arrived earlier than Baili Xin.
As soon as he saw Baili Xin coming in, Xia Chi immediately rushed over and hugged Baili Xin tightly, with distress written in his watery eyes: "Brother, you are finally back. I was terrified when I watched the live broadcast. When you were still in prison on the third day, I was almost worried to death."
"I wanted to send you a message as soon as you left the dungeon, but Zhou Guang didn't let us disturb you. Brother, you must be exhausted this time. You left the dungeon for a day before contacting us."
Baili Xin was about to comfort Xia Chi when his hand stopped.
He looked hesitantly at Xia Chi's stupid yet clear eyes, and then he was sure that he had misunderstood.
His hand fell back on Xia Chi's back, "I'm fine now, don't worry."
Baili Xin nodded and greeted Zhou Guang and others sitting in the conference room over Xia Chi's shoulder, then took a seat.
There were no outsiders in the meeting room, except for Zhou Guang and his group of four, there was one more person, Sun Ning.
After sitting down and chatting for a while to liven up the atmosphere, Sun Ning got straight to the point and said, "God Xin, have you read the content of the forum?"
Baili Xin: "I read some before coming down."
Sun Ning: "Are you satisfied?"
Baili Xin: "Not bad, thank you."
Sun Ning: "It is my duty to share the loss together. This is just the beginning. Believe me, we can do better."
As she spoke, she suddenly took out a laptop from her backpack, opened it skillfully, and tapped her fingers quickly: "I have developed several plans based on possible follow-up situations in the past few days. You can take a look."
As soon as Sister Sun makes a move, you’ll know whether it works or not.
What was supposed to be a casual family gathering suddenly turned into a planning meeting for CEO Sun Ning.
Everyone was stunned.
Zhou Guang pushed up his glasses and said, "President Sun, may I ask, what is your occupation in the real world..."
Sun Ning: “CEO of a listed company.”
Everyone: “…”
Zhou Guang looked at the young Sun Ning with some surprise: "He has become the CEO of a listed company at such a young age. President Sun has a bright future. No wonder he is so outstanding."
Sun Ning shrugged nonchalantly: "There's nothing to brag about. I became a CEO at such a young age not because I'm good, but because my father is the chairman of the company. My brother and I are the same. We both work for my father."
Everyone: “…”
Jaw droppingjpg.
She could have been a livelier, but she took on the task of moving bricks.
The boss is actually right next to them? !
Sun Ning rolled up his sleeves and regained his capable expression: "Then shall I continue?"
"Wait, Sun Ning." Baili Xin interrupted Sun Ning, "Everyone has been tired these days. How about we discuss the plan next time to give everyone some buffer time? Let's not talk about work today, let's talk about something else."
Sun Ning hesitated for two seconds, then cooperated and closed the computer and put it in his backpack. "Sorry, I was too anxious."
"I was only thinking about revenge for my brother and brought some personal emotions into it. I was abrupt."
Li Cancan sat next to Sun Ning. She tilted her head and looked at Sun Ning curiously: "Sun Ning, how old were you when you entered the game hall?"
Sun Ning recalled for several seconds before answering, "I was 24 years old when I was sucked in here, three years after graduating from college. My brother is two years older than me, so we came in together. After entering the game hall, according to the time dimension here, I have spent almost ten years in the game world."
"Twenty-four years old," Li Cancan smiled softly, "She's about the same age as when I came in, so we'll still be the same age when we leave."
As she spoke, a trace of regret suddenly flashed in her eyes, "But we will lose our memory of this place after we leave, otherwise I will definitely go to play with you."
Sun Ning replied immediately: "Sure, I welcome you to come and play with me."
"My company is headquartered in City B. The company's name is Sun's Xuanyuan Group. If you still have memories after leaving here, you must come find me!"
Xia Chi looked at Sun Ning curiously: "Sister Ning, what are the CEO's extracurricular activities? Are they like those in TV dramas, with all kinds of treacherous business battles and high-end evening parties?"
"Don't watch TV dramas blindly," Sun Ning rubbed his brows, "I'm so busy every day. I just finished solving this plan and the next one is coming. I also want to know why those CEOs in TV dramas are so leisurely. They can finish a business deal in the time it takes to have afternoon tea or go to a cocktail party. I just want to retire."
"Let's not talk about me anymore. It's boring." Sun Ning shook his hands irritably and ended the topic decisively. It was obvious that he didn't want to recall that scene at all.
Everyone looked at each other, and finally all eyes fell on Baili Xin.
The atmosphere is a bit dull, how about you say something
Baili Xin: “???”
why me
After straightening his expression, Baili Xin found a more natural topic, "Come to think of it, it's been a long time since we went to the coffee shop on the first floor to sit and get together."
Liang Xi sighed: "Since our popularity has increased, our lives have become less free. Now if we go to the coffee shop on the first floor, we will be surrounded by people. It's hard to return to the leisurely state we had at the beginning."
Xia Chi chuckled and poked his temple: "But if you want to drink something from the coffee shop on the first floor, that's fine too. Although it's not convenient for us to go there, we still have take-out service."
"Brother Zhou Guang likes latte, brother likes cappuccino, sister Cancan likes pearl milk tea, and brother Liangxi likes iced coffee..." Xia Chi poked his temple and looked at Sun Ning, "Sister Sun Ning, what do you want?"
Sun Ning was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "Mocha, thank you."
After she finished speaking, she was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Cancan beside her in confusion, "Do you have a takeaway business here?"
Li Cancan was also at a loss: "I don't know either."
Xia Chi was very excited: "Don't underestimate the observation ability of contemporary college students. This is a special ability of our students. As far as I know, this ability will gradually deteriorate as time goes by in society."
Everyone: “…”
There is no way to refute it!
A few minutes later, the packaged drinks were delivered, and the familiar logo of the coffee shop on the first floor was still on the packaged boxes.
As the drinks arrived, everyone seemed to have returned to the time when they first sat in the cafe on the first floor.
I don’t know if it was because of these familiar drinks that acted as a buffer, but the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became warm.
This time, everyone did not focus on the day and night fighting, but talked about what they had seen, heard, felt and thought in recent times. Time was like sand on fingertips, and more than two hours passed unknowingly. However, no one felt tired at all. Instead, the more they talked, the more excited they became.
Sun Ning was also affected by this atmosphere, and her calm expression also showed a rare agility.
It's a wonderful feeling.
It's like taking a comfortable warm bath after working day and night for three days and three nights, and all the boredom and depression around you are swept away in an instant.
She had never had such a novel experience before.
After entering the game hall with his brother, the two of them used their skilled human resource management experience to establish a guild. Then they worked hard to climb up as if they were competing for data. Otherwise, the Fury Guild would not have rushed to the second place in such a short time.
She wasn't working, but she also didn't have a single day to truly relax.
But things are different now.
The people around her seemed to be completely disconnected from the horror game during this brief period of time. Even she couldn't help but be infected by them and join in this soothing atmosphere.
It was not until a system prompt sounded suddenly above their heads that interrupted them that everyone stopped in disappointment and regained their calm state of mind to enter the level-breaking state.
Ding! Dear players, the horror game will start a new round of expansion pack updates in ten minutes.
The update will take 3 hours. Players in the game lobby will temporarily lose consciousness within three hours. Players who are in dangerous entertainment activities should return to a safe environment immediately.
The main contents of this expansion pack update are: 1. Added a new large-scale level-breaking dungeon to improve the playability of the game. 2. Fixed several dungeon bugs that were on record.
A ten-minute countdown will begin below, and an update will be made after the countdown ends.
The countdown begins.
After the system finished speaking, Baili Xin found a red countdown bar in his taskbar.
The few people who took a brief break looked at each other.
Xia Chi asked: "What is the new large-scale challenge copy?"
Sun Ning: "A large instance should be one that can accommodate many people."
Xia Chi: "I can probably guess what it means, but how big is this 'large' one? A thousand people?"
Zhou Guang: "Not sure. The maximum number of players that can be in a dungeon that I know of is 500. This 'large' dungeon must be at least higher than that, but I don't know how much higher it is."
Xia Chi bit his finger, looking a little anxious: "The authorities are going to stir up trouble at this time? Why do I feel it's a little strange? Isn't the timing of this update too coincidental? I just provoked the Shentian Guild in the dungeon, and the update came along."
The last major system update was during the “Citizens War” campaign.
Horror games sometimes get system updates, but not this often.
This update is indeed very strange.
Everyone had a worried look on their faces and looked at Baili Xin tacitly.
Baili Xin didn't look anxious. "We are in someone else's territory, so we should make the best of it. Everything is unknown before the new copy comes out. Let's wait until the update is finished before we decide."
Everyone nodded in unison. Zhou Guang said, "Then we should just wait here for the update?"
Baili Xin: "Okay, I don't have anything to do right now."
Xia Chi: "Then I'm here too."
Li Cancan: "There are still nine minutes left. Where were we talking about just now?"
Liang Xi raised his hand: "I, I talked about the last time I rescued a little monster from a crack in the stone in the dungeon, I will continue..."
Sun Ning looked at the few people who started chatting again with some surprise.
What kind of people are these? They are so calm.
Her eyes swept across the faces of these people one by one, and finally fell on Baili Xin's face.
Calm, comfortable and casual.
He seems to not care about anything.
She suddenly understood where these people's calmness came from.
She has been learning management since she was young, and she is very familiar with winning over confidants.
The success of a group depends on its spirit and backbone.
Baili Xin is the soul of the team.
Everyone could not help being attracted and infected by him, and trusted and were close to him from the bottom of their hearts.
This is not just some management and business method that can be learned from books, but the personal charm of a person himself.
Many people say that Baili Xin is the indifferent mascot president of the Xinhuo Guild, but if there were no Baili Xin, the "Xinhuo Guild" might not even exist.
Baili Xin is the reason for the existence of the Core Fire Guild.
This force pulled together by Baili Xin is stubborn and strong, almost impossible to shake.
Sun Ning felt a little envious, and slowly adjusted his tense mood.
The ten-minute countdown passed unknowingly, and as the ten-minute countdown ended, the entire game hall instantly fell into darkness.
Strong pulses washed over the game hall again and again, leaving no corner untouched.
An unknown amount of time had passed before the fainted people regained consciousness following a series of harsh system notification sounds.
Ding! The game expansion update is complete.
The final content of this update is announced below.
Update 1: This update cleaned up useless plug-ins in the game lobby, fixed copy bugs, and checked for viruses.
Update 2: A new large-scale compound dungeon has been added this time - [Metal Steel City]. The dungeon has rich rewards and all players are welcome to participate. This dungeon challenges a large number of players for the first time, with a maximum capacity of 10,000 players. Currently, [Metal Steel City] is in the testing phase, and players who participate in the trial will receive generous rewards. This dungeon is not restricted by floors, and players on any floor have the opportunity to participate randomly.
Finally, I wish all players a happy game and goodbye.
Xia Chi exclaimed: "Ten thousand people? Is the system crazy?"
Zhou Guang: "And there is no restriction on the number of floors, which means that novices may enter this instance, and those old monsters on the 900th floor may also enter this instance."
Li Cancan: "But 10,000 people, that's too many. How big of a dungeon is it? Should we join or wait and see?"
Sun Ning frowned slightly: "But there is still a problem."
Li Cancan: “What’s the problem?”
Sun Ning: “It’s a question of numbers.”
"Most of the players who come to participate in the horror game play alone or in small groups, so even if I enter the horror game instance for a long time, I don't know how many people are involved in this game."
"That national war should have blown out almost all the players, almost a million people."
"It looks like there are a lot of people, but after leaving the All People War, everyone still goes their own way. The time to join the game is also very random. It's not easy to get a game population of 10,000, but the system created such a useless copy."
"Also, with a maximum of 10,000 people and no restrictions on floors, and such relaxed entry conditions, what is the chance of survival in this instance?"
"It's like..." Sun Ning's brows became more solemn, "It's like they are forcibly reducing the number of people."
The other people's faces changed, and Liang Xi blurted out: "Are you saying that the system wants to lock the players into this copy and kill them?"
Sun Ning: "There is too little information about this dungeon. There is only the name of the dungeon. The level of the dungeon is unknown, the difficulty is unknown, everything is unknown."
Baili Xin: "I want to go in."
Sun Ning frowned again: "But this is obviously a trap."
Baili Xin: "It's because it's a trap that I have to go in. This is the only way to stop the system's conspiracy. Rather than watching helplessly from the outside, I'd rather go deeper into it. At least I can do something."
Sun Ning looked at Baili Xin with complicated eyes, and then swept his gaze over the faces of other people one by one.
From their increasingly serious expressions, she already knew their decision.
Sun Ning suggested: "If you want to go, at least leave one person outside to guard the base camp."
Zhou Guang volunteered: "I'll stay."
Sun Ning looked at Li Cancan beside him and asked, "Are you going too?"
Li Cancan nodded, "Yes, I want to go."
She paused and said, "It's not to help Xin Shen, but I want to go myself. Just like Xin Shen said, I don't want to be outside and watch everything happen helplessly. I have cleared many copies to get to where I am today, and I have seen too much helplessness and tragedy along the way."
She covered her chest, "My heart told me that I have to go."
Sun Ning was speechless. She sighed, "Then Zhou Guang and I will take care of the outside. If you go in, you must do your best."
…
After Baili Xin returned to the dormitory, he opened the forum and found that the posts in it were flooded with information about the recent system update.
It is not allowed to mention the content of the copy in the forum, so players used the code name "Ten Thousand People" to refer to this large copy.
Secret: Ten thousand people! Too much, who wants to be the first
I am the big brother: I won’t go, I would rather die than go, it’s too scary, it’s not a hundred people, nor a thousand people, but ten thousand people, I can handle it but I have never been to ten thousand people, I am a social phobia person and I am advised to quit.
iale: But the system says the mission rewards are very generous.
xingxing: Even if you have a lot of money, you still need to be alive to spend it. A copy without any restrictions is just playing rogue. Whoever is weak will be the cannon fodder. What if that cannon fodder is me
Two Tigers: But have you ever thought that we may not have the right to choose whether to participate in this dungeon. As long as we click on the dungeon, the system can wait until enough people gather and send us in together.
Crazy: Pack it and send it in. Will it die on the spot? Then, can't we just not press the start button? At this point, it depends on who can keep calm.
Hahaha: That makes sense. I have a lot of points anyway, so I’ll just wait and see for now.
The blue light jumping on the screen was reflected in Baili Xin's pupils.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. It seems that players are generally pessimistic about this copy and most of them are in a wait-and-see state.
Sister Tong, Baili Xin called out the escape system in her mind. If she clicked "Start Game" now, would she enter the copy of 10,000 people in this test
The escape system made two crackling sounds: "Yes, Lord Baili Xin." Because this is a brand new copy issued by the master brain, all players must first cooperate with the test of this copy. Next, players who click "Start Game" will enter this copy by default, and they can only enter when there are 10,000 people.
Baili Xin: Can you see the number of people currently participating in the dungeon from the background
Escape System: I can still do this. Please wait a moment, Lord Baili Xin.
Lord Baili Xin, currently 249 players have pre-selected this dungeon, but most of them are unfamiliar with the game settings and clicked it accidentally.
It paused and added: Even if there is a delay, cancellation is not allowed.
Because it is a brand new instance, players need time to adapt. We suggest you wait and see until the number of players is almost enough before entering.
Baili Xin: The number of players required to open the dungeon is 10,000, but now there are only 249 people who have clicked. How long will it take to get 10,000 people? If we can't get enough players, will we be unable to play the dungeon normally
As he spoke, he pressed the "Start Game" button. The escape system watched helplessly as the number of selected people jumped from "249" to "250". It's not 249 anymore, Lord Baili Xin, now you are an idiot.
Baili Xin:
That's not a very nice thing to say, baby.
…
Baili Xin was like a prophet, foreseeing what would happen next.
During the next three days, the copy of 10,000 people barely gathered more than a thousand people.
The game simply couldn't proceed.
At this time, the system issued another urgent message.
The 10,000-person dungeon [Dark Steel City] will be saved for three days after the pre-selection begins. If the number of players in the dungeon is not complete after three days, players will be randomly drawn from the game lobby to play the game.
Up to now, the pre-selection time for the [Dark Steel City] dungeon has reached three days, and the number of pre-selected players is less than 10,000. Players who do not meet the pre-selection requirement will be randomly selected. Please be prepared.
Players start with a random draw.
The player draw is over.
Wish all lucky players a happy game.
Before the lucky ones' eyes turned black, they all started to curse the old dog of the system in their hearts. :,,
