In the mineral vein area of Falling Star Town, two warrior players were leaning on the stone monument at the only intersection leading to the town, watching the group of miners who had just come up from the ground in mine carts. Most of them were civilians near Falling Star Town. After a long period of digging, their bodies were covered in dust.
Next to the two players, there are three local supervisors in Falling Star Town. Most of them are warriors. They are responsible for checking every miner who comes up to see if there is hidden silver or even mithril.
Although most of the ores mined underground are high-content ores, there are still direct harvests of natural minerals.
The mined ore still needs to be refined, but once it is mithril ore, even a small piece is still valuable.
After the Resistance Alliance occupied Falling Star Town, they escorted the original mine owners to Winter City and handed them over to the temple for trial. At the same time, the political and economic system of the town was also cleaned up, and players were placed in most key positions.
At this time, several player warriors in the mine area were able to come here to supervise the work and receive a certain amount of compensation every month.
"Which company do you think has the largest mineral deposit?" The tall, thin man who had just arrived for the shift asked his bored companion next to him.
"Who knows, other mineral veins are either redivided to the powerful in Winter City, or taken away by those large guilds. Only this largest mineral vein is mysterious." Another slightly fat warrior player sighed, "If I If you can take some shares in these mineral veins, you can really rest on your gold coins and watch them make money with your own money."
At this time, a warrior next to them who looked very clever said quietly: "I heard it was taught by the goddess."
"Then this is reasonable, but just take it, why is it so mysterious? As far as the church's contribution in the war, no one would say anything nonsense if it takes half of it." The tall and thin man said carelessly.
"Hey, that's weird." Suddenly, the slightly fat player shouted.
"What?" The tall and thin player was about to ask the other party, but the words in his mouth could no longer come out because he found that his body had become blurry.
Throughout Falling Star Town, countless online players are busy.
Some are negotiating prices with others, some are holding development meetings in the city hall, some are packing up to go hunting, and some are wielding hammers and forging weapons.
At this moment, they all found that their bodies had become blurry at the same time. Countless doubts emerged in their minds, but they were unable to communicate with others.
And this situation, at this second, was happening simultaneously in countless large towns and wild places in Arthur.
All players received a message -
[Adventurer xx, you are disconnected from Arthur's world. Cooling time for reconnection: to be determined.]“
When Zhao Xu took off his helmet, he still looked a little confused.
He clearly didn't feel any impact just now, and his body wasn't very excited, but suddenly he was disconnected directly.
Then he tried to reconnect and the connection cooling time displayed was still pending.
Countless times when Zhao Xu logged in again, the value would always be a 20-minute countdown.
There has never been such a strange situation.
After Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the fallen leaves outside the window and walked straight out of bed.
However, when he turned on his phone, he found that the entire forum was full of inquiry posts.
[Disconnected?]
[server maintenance?]
[Why is there no notification? I thought it was always non-stop maintenance]
[Ah, I am fighting monsters? You shouldn’t think it’s a forced disconnection, right?]
[I would like to ask, if the server is interrupted unexpectedly, is there any compensation for the players?]
Is it actually a server-wide outage
Arthur is not just an ordinary VR game, it is about the future of mankind on the entire earth.
Especially after Zhao Xu knew that the earth might be destroyed in the next few years, he understood even more that the opportunity to travel a year later was hard-won.
Even if many people will die after traveling through time.
Zhao Xu couldn't imagine what accident happened that caused Arthur to cut off the projection of all humans on earth.
Because in the memory of his previous life, he had never heard of Arthur stopping his service.
It will be funny if I have to stop taking it later.
The only difference today was that he had observed the passage ceremony leading to the earth and universe up close.
Isn’t it possible that because it is a human on earth, it will affect the ritual
He shouldn't have died a big death invisibly, right
Especially since it seems that the research itself has an internal closed loop, and he only had the opportunity to come into contact with it today. The last time he came into contact was when Antinoya told him the secrets of the meteor shower.
At this time, Zhao Xu was also directly connected to QQ and the forum, always observing the movements of other people.
At this time, he also saw that his QQ group with Wang Ningwei and Eswig also started to ring.
After he explained his follow-up to them in the group after resurrecting from the demiplane of the God of Death last time, he rarely talked to them again during this period, and for a while he felt a little strange.
Eswig: The internet is actually disconnected.
Ningwei: Hey, yes.
Zhong Xia: By the way, you two have always been in the game
Eswig: Why don't you try so hard? Your QQ is only online for half an hour during meals. I don't know, I thought you were isolated from the world.
midsummer:…
Ningwei: Hehe, Eswig also cares about his friends.
Eswig: I was afraid he died suddenly that day. But what do you think is the reason for the disconnection
The three of them are not fools, and they naturally know that there must be a very deep-seated reason behind this disconnection without any notification.
Eswig: Will it be discontinued forever? I always felt like something was off about this game. Especially after participating in the Death dungeon, I felt this aspect even more deeply.
Ningwei: It’s not a little bit, but something is really wrong. The details in too many places are too realistic, so Eswig, you should play the game more often, maybe you can dig out the secrets of this game.
Eswig: Ningwei, you don’t know anything, do you
Ningwei: No way.
Zhong Xia: Well, play more and try hard now, and you won’t lose money in the future.
But Zhao Xu had just finished typing on the keyboard and knew that what he said was in vain. Wang Ningwei is now so famous among players that she is out of the circle. It is not just the mages in the floating city who know her.
The player circle on Mystra Ground is also aware of her existence.
On the contrary, Eswig, who has also reached the level of a third-level mage, is extremely secretive.
Eswig: I don’t know. Anyway, after I came out of the Death Demiplane, it seemed that a certain branch of the association was conducting an assessment on me. Sometimes two or three waves of people came to observe me a day.
Zhong Xia: You know, I just want you to know. However, at the beginning, everyone received the "Iron Will" specialty, which was originally a treatment only obtained after entering the assessment target.
Elswig: Do you think Arthur is from a real world
Ningwei: If it’s true, it’s also very interesting.
Zhongxia: Don’t think blindly, work hard to level up.
After Zhao Xu finished typing, his attention returned to the forum. Many people had doubts about Arthur being a real person.
Because the civilizations involved there are so rich, it is no wonder that every player who enters deeply believes that he is real, so even if he has suffered setbacks in the game, he still refuses to give up and quit.
Zhao Xu then cleaned up the entire list of people who applied to add friends on the forum.
Since the last time he published the post about Arthur's method of imprisoning and destroying souls, the number of people who have added him as friends recently has reached a peak.
Most of the people who asked him in the past just asked about his experience or even paid homage to him. At least half of the players who join now ask how to destroy souls.
Some players even vividly described to Zhao Xu how they were deceived by cheaters in the game, and then begged Zhao Xu to teach them secret methods so that they could seek revenge on the cheater.
Usually when encountering this kind of situation, Zhao Xu silently typed in the name of the Nine Ring Soul Binding Technique.
Even if the other party needs it, he can draw a simple spell structure diagram.
These days, there are too many people who want to get it right in one go and take shortcuts.
Suddenly, a post in the forum was directly highlighted and highlighted, ranking in front of everyone else's posts.
[Dear players, I'm sorry that Arthur will be officially down for 48 hours, during which all login actions will be invalid.]
The person who posted the following post was the "Creation Hall" ID who posted the last jump-level post.
Seeing this law, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart.
If humans were unable to connect to Arthur because he was curious and joined in watching, then he would really have to apologize to everyone on earth.
The current 48 hours, that is, until the morning of the day after tomorrow, also happens to include the concert tomorrow night, so it will not delay his actions at all, and it is considered a qualified holiday.
Thinking of this, it meant that Zhao Xu would have nothing to do today, so he opened the keyboard of his computer, took the forum coins that countless forum players had given him as a reward, and posted a question -
What would you do if you found yourself in Arthur tomorrow as a civilian
