Creating a Virtual World

Chapter 206: Not just games

The base of the Leaping Nuclear Guild.

Recently, a special building, the Duel Training Ground, was newly built in the base of the Leap Atomic Guild.

This building is a building blueprint that is refreshed after the guild base reaches level 2... Its function is actually to move the arena of the Holy Spirit's original plane to the player's base.

The shape of the building is actually an arena, which can be used for three players to match and fight in the PVP server of Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit's current PVP system is already very complete, including the reward exchange and ranking system after PVP victory.

It is now six o'clock in the morning. There are not many players in the Leaping Nuclear Base. Zhao Mingwei is alone in the duel training field, fighting against a high-ranking player who is unknown from the Holy Spirit.

This duel ended very quickly. In just three minutes, Zhao Mingwei threw the poor roaming gunner player to the ground with a back throw, and then punched him in the throat.

The fist shrouded in the power of the mind beast hit the vulnerable part of the throat. The critical damage jumped out of the head of the roaming gunner player, and his blood volume was instantly emptied.

The tavern map projected on the training ground disappeared along with the matched player as the battle ended.

There was a burst of applause from the edge of the training ground. Zhao Mingwei turned his head and saw that Lin Xi had been standing next to the training ground without him noticing.

"Xiaoye, are you a perpetual motion machine? You just finished a match the day before yesterday and you've been online for two consecutive days. And I'm still congratulating you for making it into the top 50 on the PVP list. No, congratulations! Xiaoye, it's only six in the morning now, are you really going to die?"

In real life, Lin Xi and Zhao Mingwei live in the same hotel. They have a game tomorrow. When Lin Xi was browsing the Holy Spirit APP on his phone, he found that Zhao Mingwei was still online, so he quickly went online and asked Zhao Mingwei to go downstairs to sleep.

"I'm not that sleepy." Zhao Mingwei said as he was about to continue clicking on the matching system.

"Okay, okay, okay! I know you're not sleepy, but Xiao Ye, don't continue to gain points. If you continue to play the Holy Spirit's Ladder, the boss won't be able to clean you out even if he wants to." Lin Xi reminded Zhao Mingwei.

Zhao Mingwei is still a professional player of "Dissidia". The news that Zhao Mingwei played other games on the eve of the competition has caused quite a stir on the Internet.

The Junlin Club finally suppressed the public opinion storm and ordered Zhao Mingwei not to play "Holy Spirit" during the summer season. Zhao Mingwei... did not listen.

Because he can't control himself... Ordering an internet-addicted teenager to stop playing games but putting the game console in his room, isn't this torturing him

But Zhao Mingwei has been very self-restrained these past two days. The manifestation of his self-restraint is that he rarely leaves the base of Leaping Nuclear, and he didn't even participate in the campaign to conquer the Sky Frost Dragon.

But tonight, Zhao Mingwei was so itchy that he couldn't help but play. It happened that Leaping Nuclear had built this building called Duel Training Ground, so he started to play the Holy Spirit PVP ladder.

"Let's play another game." Zhao Mingwei clicked the match button again under Lin Xi's frustrated gaze.

"Master Xiao! Alas..."

So under Lin Xi's gaze, the scene on the ring changed again to the inside of a high tower, and a figure in a black robe appeared on the other side of the ring.

"What the hell... Master Xiao? Don't you have a competition?"

Zhao Mingwei was matched with the president of Night Rush, Cruel Moonlight. He was shocked when he saw the opponent's ID.

"Rest and have some fun tonight. Doesn't your club have a competition in Moonlight?"

"I retired a long time ago. I can't fight for as long as you can." Cruel Moonlight said as he started to buff himself.

Zhao Mingwei was slightly stunned...without saying anything, he started the second duel with Cruel Moonlight.

This duel still ended with Zhao Mingwei's victory. When the projection of the high tower and the figure of the cruel moonlight disappeared, under Lin Xi's desperate gaze, Zhao Mingwei's ladder ranking rose to thirty-ninth.

This is already a very eye-catching number. Zhao Mingwei's fans already know that Zhao Mingwei's "Holy Spirit" ID is Happy Game. Once someone with a keen eye finds out that Zhao Mingwei's "Holy Spirit" PVP ranking has soared during the summer season...the result will be...

"Master Xiao, are you really not afraid of being ruined?" Lin Xi looked at Zhao Mingwei walking to the edge of the ring and sitting down, and asked Zhao Mingwei speechlessly.

"I've thought about it. Playing "Holy Spirit" is my personal behavior. It doesn't have much impact on the club's reputation. Besides, there is already someone in the team who can take over the position of captain," said Zhao Mingwei.

"I'm talking about you! Xiaoye, your condition has improved recently. Your fans are looking forward to your performance in the "Dispute" arena, not the game "Holy Spirit". The popularity you have accumulated from playing games for seven years will be the support of your future life. When your contract expires in two years, you can become a host or something, and you will definitely be able to beat those big hosts on Raccoon Live in seconds." Lin Xi thought for a while and continued.

"Originally, you have had no black spots in your career, but you continued to play Holy Spirit at such a high intensity during the summer season. If this gets out and public opinion comes together, you will most likely be ruined, okay? Moreover, the Dispute Professional League will also punish you for this kind of behavior. If you are banned at that time, the popularity you have accumulated in the past seven years will... be completely wasted." Lin Xi said.

"Are popularity and popularity important?" Zhao Mingwei suddenly asked after listening to Lin Xi's words.

"These are all you have." Lin Xi rubbed his brow with a headache and said, "What do we professional players have after retirement? Skills? No, popularity, popularity, and traffic! You are the top traffic of "Dispute". After retirement, you can be a streamer without worrying about the rest of your life. What else do we have? Go back to the days of fighting with others for BOSS and selling gold in the Internet cafe like before?"

"I think the days I spent in the Internet cafe were more interesting," said Zhao Mingwei.

"Have you... forgotten how miserable it was when you had nothing and were hungry every day? The gold price of the game "Holy Spirit" has fallen now, and the number of players in this game is only about 30,000. 30,000! The average number of online players of "Dissension" is 2.3 million or more. Xiao Ye, think about it carefully! To put it in an extreme way, besides your popularity as a professional player of "Dissension" and your fans, what else do you have now? Nothing! If you continue to play other games in the summer season and get banned, everything will be over."

Lin Xi is not like Zhao Mingwei, who is a fool. He has a more thorough understanding of the real world of e-sports. Even if an e-sports player is very popular, it is very likely that he will be banned if he makes a small mistake.

The ban is definitely an indelible stain on Zhao Mingwei's glorious resume as a professional player of "Dissidia".

"..." Zhao Mingwei looked at Lin Xi in silence. Just when Lin Xi thought Zhao Mingwei was convinced by him...

"Master! Master! A lot of these strange things suddenly appeared on my body!"

Ye Lina jumped out from behind Lin Xi at some point. She walked right past Lin Xi and handed a bunch of translucent red hearts to Zhao Mingwei.

Zhao Mingwei picked up one of the red hearts and took a look at the description of the item.

"Yelina's Thoughts X233·Delight

Exchange props

Description: When Ye Lina was practicing Mind Qi...her thoughts were overflowing with various joyful emotions.

Effect: Can be used to increase the construction area of the base, and exchange for base construction props and blueprints from NPC 'Elu'.

Master is so awesome! —Yelina.

"How can you say nothing?" Zhao Mingwei looked at the translucent red heart, turned his gaze to Lin Xi and said, "You are the Berserker known as the Mobile Arsenal in this world, and I am the Crazy Tiger Emperor who inherited the Far East's Mind Beast Tattoo... To the residents of the stronghold, we are heroes who saved the world."

"Xiao Ye, are you really crazy? She is just a bunch of data. How can you really have feelings for a paper figure?" Lin Xi suspected that Zhao Mingwei could no longer distinguish the difference between the game and reality.

But Zhao Mingwei didn't answer Lin Xi, but Ye Lina next to him directly refuted...

"I'm not a paper man!"

"?" Lin Xi turned his head to glance at Ye Lina. He had a feeling he had seen a ghost... It was true that there were a lot of preset NPC dialogues in Holy Spirit, but after boarding this island, why did Lin Xi always feel that the responses of these NPCs to the player's dialogues were... too much
