1,000 players entered the game one after another.
They did the same stupid thing that the previous 400+ players did when they entered the game.
Cheng Shaofeng is no longer surprised.
After sending a few overly abnormal players offline to reflect for an hour, the players' behavior became much more normal.
One of them tried to commit suicide right away, so Cheng Shaofeng didn't hesitate and banned him permanently.
The remaining 999 people were stunned.
There are no more new players who don't value their lives.
As an old player, 'Forgive Hat' talked to the newcomers: "Everyone must pay attention to the rights of the lords in the game. Although this AI has many bugs, it is still very strict in enforcing the rules of some bases. The planners also give it a lot of authority. Our bodies are generated using the resources of the base. If you deliberately die without resurrection coins, you will be banned."
"To be honest, this person is the first person to be permanently conferred a title by the lord."
"The alarm bells are ringing!"
The new players' minds were filled with anxiety and were suppressed by the player who had just been permanently banned.
Cheng Shaofeng also achieved the effect he wanted.
"With so many people, the management methods have to be tougher, otherwise there's no telling what might happen with so many players."
He had just asked Zero to explain the various rules of the base to all new players, the most important of which was: cherish life and don't die meaninglessly.
As a result, some people broke the law.
Then seal it!
In fact, Cheng Shaofeng didn't have much idea about who came to this world to work. Except for the people who came to the forum at the beginning, he didn't know anyone else. As long as they could come to this world and work hard, they were all his friends.
If this one is blocked, there is still the next one. There are plenty of players with 30 million pre-registrations.
Under the guidance of the "NPC" arranged by Cheng Shaofeng, the new players choose housing, receive novice gift packs, and take on novice tasks. Then there is the popular scene of major teams recruiting new players.
Among them, 50 people directly entered the special forces team. Their behavior and discipline were obviously different from those of other players. These were professionals recruited by Cheng Shaofeng, and half of them were engaged in diplomacy.
In the future, it will be possible to establish diplomatic relations and trade with other human cities on his behalf.
Other teams are also recruiting new players.
Because the 9 major inherited professions have just been completed, plus the two niche inherited professions of Ranger and Magic Sword, the Scourge Base now has a total of 11 professions!
The compatibility is greatly enhanced!
When veteran players started playing, there were fewer professions, and in order to maintain their combat effectiveness they maxed out their strongest skills, thus locking in their future development direction. They had no way to develop useful skills and gameplay for new professions.
But new players at level 1 have endless possibilities!
They can choose from a combination of the 11 existing professions and a large number of common skills to take a stronger path.
All the members of the fire team came out to pull people in.
Da Ni Xiao Ji Ji got some nice clothes today, and she looks especially charming after dressing up.
She greeted the new players, "The fire team is recruiting new teammates. The first specialization is to choose the output of the arcane profession and the tank of the oathkeeper profession! Lots of girls, lots of benefits~"
Many male players' eyes lit up and they were attracted to the Mimi Lake.
The Retarded Team is still using the random recruitment method. Those who join may not be talented, but they must be interesting.
This issue remains acute.
"If your girlfriend often hangs out with other guys and asks that guy to accompany her to try on clothes, and you ask her to break up but she disagrees and says she will never do that again, what will you do?"
Sea Dog: "Ah? Of course I choose to forgive her. Anyway, she didn't do anything else. I think... a man shouldn't be so stingy, right?"
Turtle-colored Blackhead: "Haha~ When she said 'never again' she meant... I'll never let you find out again! Idiot!"
Console game: "Good girls should be cherished, bad girls should not be wasted, I will just stand up and kick them!"
Professional Steel Bar: "For some people, you have to see them being stuffed like puffs with stuffing flowing out in front of you and unable to say a word before you can understand something..."
Riben Guizi: "My god! You have the potential to be a vice-captain!"
The style of the mentally retarded team is still cheerful. Cheng Shaofeng feels that they have come to this world... to really enjoy themselves.
But fortunately, although it’s just a hobby, it doesn’t interfere with your work and is also a life attitude.
The Peak Team was also looking for new teammates. They did not search aimlessly, but directly found their old bar friends. This time, they made an appointment with a bar friend named "Go to the Pier to Get Some French Fries".
An old friend who used to fight together in the Diablo forum. This person is extremely good at ranged mages.
The peak team is currently lacking a long-range high-damage player, and he just happened to be here.
Lin Tang's Judge is more suitable for setting traps and assisting long-range output, and cannot be a real long-range output player. The fox is responsible for team control, the polar bear is summoned, and Lao Ao is responsible for assistance. The only thing missing is a long-range large output.
It’s not that previous players didn’t want to join the peak team, but Xigou insisted on joining his own old team in the forum, someone he knew well.
Especially now that the situation is getting weirder, before they figure out how the zodiac signs affect reality, it’s hard to say how their teammates’ choices will be related to reality in the future.
There is another very important reason why Xigou proposed this candidate... The mage profession has the highest energy, and the arcane profession has a skill to train human energy: mental focus, which is a means of meditation. After practicing, you can passively improve your intelligence and energy.
"If the skills in the game can be brought into reality, then after learning this skill, can we also gain energy through meditation in reality?"
He needs to experiment.
Of course, the tiny amount of energy currently possessed by the beta test players cannot have much impact on the real world, so they still have to focus on playing games.
Going to the dock to get some French fries: "Hahahaha! Good brothers! I'm finally here! I'm so greedy!"
He hugged several people one by one, very cordially.
Xigou: "Welcome to the game "End of World Online". After you join our top team, we will guide you in the game. Don't worry, but there is one thing... you have to promise me."
French Fries: "Small dog giant said!"
Xigou looked thoughtful: "Where do you think our future lies?"
French Fries: "Uh... I plan to go level up with you guys later."
Xigou looked at him seriously: "No, brother, you misunderstood me. I meant to talk about lofty goals. What kind of person do you want to be? What do you want to live for?"
French Fries: "In order to... level up later and catch up with the experience."
Little dog: “… ”
Xigou covered his face, and Laobai stepped in and said, "Ahem! Xigou means that there is a very important change in our world now, which may change the rest of our lives, so he wants to invite you to his home to discuss the future direction together."
French Fries: "No, you know I'm an orphan. I have to support myself. I have a job back home. Although the salary is not high, it's easy and I can log in and level up every day. I can't just give it up..."
Xigou: "I will provide food and lodging for the rest of the game..."
Seeing the hesitation on French Fries' face, he immediately added, "And round-trip tickets."
French Fries: "If you don't give up, French Fries will go book a ticket right away!"
French fries went offline to book tickets.
After a day, the other teammates have gathered in Pu Shenqi's villa, and asked a professional physical examination team to come to do tests. They study the changes in their bodies together, and at the same time play the game more seriously!
Xigou said: "If we played games just for the sake of playing games before, then we play games now... to prepare for the changes that may happen in the future! We entered the game first and have the first-mover advantage. We must seize this advantage and do more things to get ahead of other players. This is our foundation!"
Demon Fox: "Next, our top team will help the lord to expand the territory and find the lost shrine outside!"
Cheng Shaofeng was very happy that the Peak Team could help him implement the idea of developing a branch base. The shrine ruins were also what he cared about most at the moment.
In addition to these teams, some groups calling themselves player guilds have emerged.
For example, 'Once Signed a Pledge with the Gods' set up a "Future Guild" to attract new players by teaching everyone how to quickly upgrade and high-end BD techniques.
The 'Drum Washing Machine' and the 'Inexplicable Green Invention' jointly set up a 'Divine Vision Guild', hoping to discover and invent more mechanisms that are not in the game, and then use bugs to upgrade crazily.
They believed that since this game was an open world, there would definitely be loopholes that could be used to steal the game. The last time 'Moming' directly explored the Netherworld in person was a good example. Although he failed to steal the game, every time he talked about it with other players, he would proudly label himself as 'the player who dared to be the first to try something new'.
Let’s talk about whether he is poisoned or not later. Anyway, he is brave enough!
'Grunt' is a former game designer from Duoyu Company. He is not only rational, but also knows all the possible loopholes in the game. 'Inexplicable' is a person with a big brain. The two of them teamed up to form a guild, which is to get the players to do various things.
In addition, the 999 new players are weak and have difficulty surviving in the wasteland world, so they spontaneously form small teams to level up together instead of relying on old players to start from scratch.
They have been playing cloud games on the website for a long time, and they may know more about the current status of the base and the world situation than the beta testers who only play the game, so they started it themselves.
Use the three-piece set to farm the Void to level 10, and then follow the lord's route to fight in the new map. It's that simple.
The 999 new players brought a surge of popularity to the empty Red City, making the city a little more lively.
After observing for a while, Cheng Shaofeng made sure that there was nothing else and was about to go to bed, then switched to Shadow Guard 2's perspective.
Now Shadow Guard 2 is squatting in a pit in the wild in a daze...
Ding ding ding~
Wu Jie ran up.
"Brother Feng! I'm running out of clothes! These warriors you just awakened are all wearing large vests and briefs. They took away 999 sets of clothes from me. We have less than 1,000 sets of winter clothes left. At the rate they are being replaced after being damaged in battle, we may not be able to survive this winter. We have to prepare some more warm clothes."
It is now the end of December in the wasteland, and the temperature is extremely low, usually around -30 to 40 degrees Celsius. Players can ignore the cold by not turning on the pain perception, but the body still can't stand it. Now that we have moved to Red City, there is heating at home, but we must wear thick clothes outside.
Even if you get equipment dropped by monsters, you still have to wrap yourself with a layer of cotton clothes after putting it on.
Wu Jie: "Alas... In this huge Red City, I can't even find a piece of clothing that humans can wear. It's really sad."
Cheng Shaofeng patted Wu Jie on the shoulder and said, "What kind of clothes can withstand 200 years of weathering? Robots don't need clothes. It's normal that this thing is gone. Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to go to Colossus City to get some clothes."
"Are there any other supplies missing? Is there enough food?"
Wu Jie shook his head: "There is plenty of food, and there are plenty of beans. The city will be fine until next summer."
Cheng Shaofeng has stockpiled a lot of this kind of food that has a very long shelf life and can fill the stomach. Even if there are so many more homeless people to feed, it won't be a problem.
"I had expected to summon many players this winter, but I didn't expect to be able to summon so many at once, and to take in so many wanderers. The two together consumed so many clothes..."
"Forgive the hat, come here!"
Forgiveness Hat, who was admiring his new butcher shop, trotted over immediately.
"What do you want, Lord?"
Cheng Shaofeng: "How is your Crystal Meat Shop in Colossus City doing recently? Did the dealer help you?"
Forgiveness Hat is wrapped in a cashmere coat and a tiger-skin felt hat, dressed like a wealthy businessman in the wasteland. He has completely abandoned fighting and has become a pure businessman player.
"Haha~ Thanks to the prestige of the Lord, my business there is going smoothly! After the store opened, no one dared to trouble me. They all know that I have a banker as the backer. There are a lot of people who come to my shop to consume, and... you also know that some of us are very good at cooking. It's simply a dimensionality reduction attack on them. Sales are very good every day!"
"The revenue from the opening till now has been converted into 6,000 crystals! Half of it, 3,000 crystals, has been handed over to Wu Jie. I came back today to buy more crystal meat from hunting."
Cheng Shaofeng nodded: "Good! Well done. When you return to Colossus City, go buy some winter clothes and bring them back to the base. I'll let Wu Jie give you the money."
"Yes, my lord!"
The matter was resolved simply.
"It's good to have people in the outside cities. If we really talk about productivity, it has to be these big cities that have existed for a long time. The development of Red City... has been too distorted by robots. It is completely unable to produce the various materials necessary for human survival."
Cheng Shaofeng was just about to close his eyes and rest.
Bai Susu is here again.
She looked at Cheng Shaofeng, her face slightly reddened, and then asked: "Uncle, they have all left, I also want to go home, but... I can't find the way home, can you help me?"
Cheng Shaofeng had a slight headache.
After exhausting the skills of those geniuses from various cities, Cheng Shaofeng let them go.
They were not invited to visit the Red City to prevent them from getting conjunctivitis.
Most of them have some means to return to their own cities, and they are quite strong, so the low temperatures in winter have little impact on them.
But... Bai Susu is really weak, she is just a wet nurse who was brought here to make up the numbers.
And he's also a road idiot...
I really can't go back.
Cheng Shaofeng could tell the direction based on the longitude and latitude she provided, but... the distance was too far and it would take a long time to fly. There was no telling what he might encounter on the way. His Green Goblin skateboard had to be left in the base waiting to be copied. He couldn't take the risk.
"Looks like I have to take you to Central City. There should be a flying machine that goes directly to your city."
Bai Susu: "Okay, okay! I strongly recommend that you go to our place to see the grey jays. They are friendly and smart, and everyone will like them!"
Cheng Shaofeng nodded.
Bird food... The blue bird is so cute, and the equipment it drops can increase all skills. Who wouldn’t love it
'And... Isn't the one-way flying machine in the central city that can anchor to a certain location the scroll to return to the city that I need most right now?'
