Dissidia, the most popular and technologically advanced VR online game at the moment, only has a guild settlement system. Systems like building towns and cities are pretty useless in an online game that focuses on killing monsters and leveling up.
“If there really is such an update, it may not be what you think. At most it will be a larger stronghold.” Heiguozhurou couldn’t imagine what a VR game would be like where players could build their own cities.
It’s okay for a single-player game… but this is an online game!
I might actually do that.
Jiang Qiao listened to Mo Shigui's analysis and began to think about the future development direction of the player base.
As Mo Shigui said, if all the monsters on Brand Island are killed, is there any point in the stronghold still existing
So Jiang Qiao had a terrible idea, which was to completely transform Brand Island into his own thing and then transfer the entire island to the inner world.
With Brand Island as its base, it welcomes requests from visitors from other worlds... or monster invasions, but this is just a hypothesis.
“The authorities may have.”
At this time, Xia Shan, who had just finished debugging her mining machine, suddenly spoke. She glanced at the prototype floating beside her. This prototype could introduce the data of Tiangong's pets.
"Really? Sister Changqing?" Your Mom Will Die Tonight asked immediately.
At this moment, all the eyes of Leaping Nuclear were focused on Xia Shan, making her once again feel the fear of being watched by the big guys.
"Dispute... recently launched a three-dimensional projection and AR version of the competition, right? I see... Holy Spirit seems to have the idea of updating the projection and AR versions. Didn't Freya say that she wanted to go to our world? The games we played when we were young all used keyboard and mouse to control the characters. No one could imagine the grand occasion of VR games today, but now we seem to be standing on a ladder of evolution again." Xia Shan said a lot of words that she couldn't understand herself.
"What I mean is... if the official doesn't launch a plan to build a town, there's no need for us to follow the version. The game of Holy Spirit has such a high degree of freedom." Xia Shan didn't know how to express her thoughts.
"You don't understand what I mean." Mo Shigui said to Xia Shan.
"It's not that I don't understand. I just don't know why you are gathered here. I was busy setting up the conveyor belt just now, and I came over to listen when I saw you all gathered here." Xia Shan said.
"I mean whether the benefits of the stronghold system are worth our continued development."
Mo Shigui directly said what he was really worried about.
"In the past, the development of the stronghold did not conflict with our monster-killing gameplay. We could upgrade the stronghold by killing the lord-level monsters on the island, obtaining their mother crystals, and completing the tasks entrusted by NPC Elu. But now there is an additional upgrade option of NPC's heart reward. If we don't recruit a large number of NPCs, other guilds will definitely recruit them."
Mo Shigui opened the stronghold ranking list that Holy Spirit had just updated and sent it to all guild members.
"The benefits that the stronghold system brings us at this stage... First, this ranking list lets all the Holy Spirit players in the server know that we are the stronghold with the top comprehensive ranking, which also helps to maintain the popularity of the Leaping Nuclear Club. Second, the stronghold is required for the main quest to build a portal. Third, the resources produced by the mother crystals planted in the stronghold can be used to manufacture potions and equipment."
The three items listed by Mo Shigui are... very rational, so rational that they do not involve any personal feelings.
He had to be rational because the base was the property of the Leaping Nuclear Club, not his personal property.
Before the update of Brand Island version 2.0, the construction of the stronghold was linked to the player's monster killing and upgrading. The more monsters the player killed on Brand Island, the higher the level of the stronghold.
However, after the 2.0 update, a system was introduced in which many players could upgrade the level of their strongholds simply by operating the strongholds without having to kill monsters.
NPC’s kindness exchange reward is just one of them.
This means that if the Leaping Nuclear Guild wants to continue to maintain its first place in the overall ranking of its strongholds... it must recruit a large number of NPCs into the strongholds, and also need to keep up with the recruitment of a large number of NPCs in terms of food and housing.
This series of changes made Mo Shigui think... Is it worth it to continue fighting for the number one position in the stronghold ranking
No matter how perfectly a stronghold is built, it may be eliminated with the update of the version. This is the cruel part of the gaming world.
Wake up! The base you built will appear in the real world in the future! Jiang Qiao really wanted to remind Mo Shigui when he heard this. Maybe in the other world, the street where the Leaping Nuclear Club is located is the base they built in the Holy Spirit.
But now Jiang Qiao can only be a spectator.
"President, I don't want to be so entangled. I just want my Freya to live in a bigger place. Only when the base is upgraded to level three can Freya's room be expanded to 15 square meters. President, don't you also want your...oh, your Freya to be able to go out." Tonight your mother will definitely look at Freya who was standing behind Mo Shigui with envy.
"President, I just want to build a lot of beautiful big houses, but you won't live in them." Little Feather glanced at the other members of the guild.
"Bullshit! Can I eat, sleep and live in the game every day? Who doesn't want to live in a mansion of more than 200 square meters, surrounded by mountains and rivers? The only problem is that there will be giant dragons appearing in the mountains from time to time." Lazily shouted.
What Lanlan shouted was actually what most players were thinking. If they could fill their stomachs by eating the food in the game and sleep with their eyes closed without being hindered by the VR helmet, they would probably really stay in the base.
Modern society is so crowded... It costs millions to buy a house. It is not difficult to build a house on such a beautiful and uninhabited desert island. I guess many people would be willing to live here, provided there is a portal back to the modern city and takeout can be delivered here.
The only problem is that every now and then one or two giant dragons pop up outside the house and tear it down.
"So, President, I want to find two or three NPCs to live here. The NPCs in the Holy Spirit are really intelligent. They will also comment on the things I make. In short, I feel very comfortable with all the flattery. Don't look at me! Don't you guys also enjoy being licked by NPCs?" said Little Feather.
"Mr. Yin won't mind, right? If Mr. Yin draws the qualification to play Holy Spirit, he might come in and ask us to bring more NPCs to live in the base." Mom whispered.
"I'll ask Mr. Yin, but judging from the direction of the game update at this stage, the official seems to really intend to let players build their own towns... I just don't know whether the various system functions of the town can be perfected, but there is still a system for NPCs to visit the base." Mo Shigui glanced at Shelar lying behind him. "Anyway, we are expanding the base with the goal of building a town that can accommodate various NPCs. I think everyone should have no objection?"
"As long as the NPCs are all pretty girls, I have no objection... It seems that Ye Linna is about to have a private relationship with Xiao Ye... Uh, let's go." After thinking for a while, she decided to change the word to a more appropriate one.
"What are you thinking about... I haven't even asked for a handsome guy yet, why are all the NPCs in this game girls? When will the job market produce some handsome NPCs?" Lan Lan also complained.
You can catch them yourself... No! Recruit them!
Jiang Qiao looked at the enthusiasm of the people at Leaping Nuclear and felt that it was time to officially start the next development plan for Brand Island.
