Chapter 39

Signs of the advent of the gamer era

Time flies by unconsciously.

Now that I think about it, it seems that the "first martial arts competition at the end of the year" event is still in front of me, but it has already been almost a month.

In this month, many major events happened in the entire game world~

But players are always a restless group.

No matter how lively the fights between NPCs are, they always lack a sense of reality. Only what happens to the player group is the real top priority for them.

Just like the fact that the Harpers of Amethysto killed a spiritual boss this month, it was discussed over and over again by countless players.

The war between the Tower Clan and the Dungeon was indeed in full swing, and even exaggerated to the point of being outrageous.

However, the player group only viewed this matter from a "curious" and "rare" perspective.

After all, the land of snowy mountains is separated from most players by thousands of rivers and mountains. Even if everyone is curious about that grand war, they can only express their concern through various videos and texts. If they really want to visit the battlefield in person...

.

Players from the Tower Clan can still spend a little money to travel, but players from other races should not think about it. With the lack of means of flight and long-distance teleportation, traveling across such a large area is completely wasteful.

In other words, in Liu Yifei's eyes, this matter is indeed an important system event with "high implication", but players may not necessarily buy it ~ what everyone cares more about are some "sesame and mung bean" things that are actually related to interests.

.

For example, the current situation is getting better and better, and the development of player lord forces

This is something that the player community is really concerned about.

Although there is only one player in a million who can become a lord on the world map, as long as the player lords are successful, more players will be able to enjoy more benefits.

At least, if players want their territory to become popular and lively, the various policies implemented must be more favorable than those in NPC cities. Otherwise, why would players squeeze into your big place instead of squatting in a more grand system city?

?

As the game progresses, the player lords accumulate more and more power.

Especially because I don’t know who took the lead, more and more player lords began to no longer fight alone, but instead sought cooperation with surrounding mercenary groups, player guilds and other organizations to further improve the overall strength of the territory.

The popularity of this method has undoubtedly greatly accelerated the accumulation of strength in player territories.

In the past month, more and more player territories have begun to try to improve their territory level.

Today, the upgrade of a small village into a small town is no longer scary or a difficulty that hinders everyone's progress.

Because every time the territory is upgraded, a huge army of monsters will gather.

These monster armies are indeed a very thorny problem before the player's strength reaches a certain level, and not many people have the strength to confront them head-on.

Therefore, the failure rate of small villages upgrading to small towns is frighteningly high.

But in a month's time, the average level of the player group has increased from more than sixty to more than seventy.

The second-level goal of rebirth and the third-level goal are at level 80. Even if you want to break through the third-level goal first, regardless of the perfect rebirth, it is not an easy task to climb from the 70th level of the second-level goal to the 80th level.

~

Just looking at how slowly the "number one pervert" of the ghost clan, who tops the entire game level list, upgrades, you can imagine how difficult it is to upgrade after level 70~

Thinking that before the New Year, when everyone's average level was still around sixty, he suddenly rushed to level seventy-five of the second level in one breath, ranking first in the entire game world.

Now, more than a month has passed, and everyone's average level has risen to over seventy. He has only climbed from level seventy-five to level eighty-four, and has not even reached level ten.

Everyone knows how fast this pervert Liu Yun can level up. Even he leveled up so slowly, let alone the others~

Therefore, as the level of the player army gradually approaches level 75, everyone is increasingly realizing that it is too difficult to upgrade to level 5~

As for how difficult it is to upgrade from level 80 to level 100...

At least this is not an issue that everyone should consider right now.

The level is high, the strength is strong, and the upgrade speed is slow. This can't help but remind many "thoughtful" players of some "wrong ways" to upgrade.

One of the most successful and enjoyable is to use the monster craze when a certain territory is upgraded.

The most famous incident of this kind occurred in the Swamp Tribe when a small town was upgraded to a small town.

At that time, more and more daring players began to realize that they could take advantage of this opportunity to gain experience.

At the beginning of the territorial defense war, in addition to the many experts invited by the local lords themselves, tens of thousands of players unexpectedly gathered

Moreover, these people spontaneously ran outside the town's walls and built a more peripheral "wall of flesh" to block the crazy surging waves of countless beasts.

Although in the end, the city defense battle failed, it was defeated by the overwhelming flying monsters.

After all, the dragonflies of the swamp tribe are notoriously difficult to deal with.

Although their individual strength is not too strong, they are incredibly fast. If you chop them once and they bite you three times, their numbers can only be described as overwhelming~

Coupled with the few but powerful elite giant flying beasts, the number of troops in a small town is really not enough for them to ravage.

But when it comes to the ground legions, the player side did achieve a brilliant victory.

Under the crazy output of tens of thousands of second-level players of more than 70 levels, the waves of monsters in both directions were completely "dispersed"

At the moment when tens of thousands of surging beasts were killed, scattered or even defeated by the player's powerful attacks, jaw-dropping cheers erupted over the entire battlefield.

After the defensive battle failed, these players did not leave in a hurry, but continued to hunt monsters outside the out-of-control herd.

This is an endless monster, an endless experience

Although the success or failure of the territory defense battle is actually not taken seriously by these "experience hunters" (in fact, they are still eager for the failure of the lord). These days, those who can afford to invest in territory are rich people. If they fail this time, they will continue next time.

If they continue to invest in upgrading, they will have more opportunities to gain experience), but it is undeniable that their behavior has indeed relieved the defensive pressure of lord players to a great extent.

The disadvantage is simply that the other party is uncontrollable.

They will not listen to the unified arrangements of the lord players for no reason. They are all organized together spontaneously. They can come and leave when they want, just for their own interests.

The scale of the battle to upgrade the territory of the Swamp Clan was so large that the number of players involved even exceeded that of the unlucky "Migal" Liu Yifei knew who spent a lot of money to create an own incident.

Afterwards, the lord himself revealed that the actual cost of asking for help was actually very low. The total sum of zero and zero was even less than 300,000 United Coins. This is incomparable to Michael's investment.

Not on the same level at all~

(In fact, many things in the world are like this. When doing things, you should "follow the trend". When you reach a certain stage, there will naturally be certain needs. If you comply with the needs and make clever use of them, things will naturally go smoothly and the cost is not high~

Michael's huge investment is actually an investment beyond the times. If he succeeds, he will have a broader space for development in that period, with greater profit advantages but much greater risks~

If his investment at that time is put into perspective now, there is absolutely no reason for failure. After all, players nowadays are in urgent need of experience. If you don’t pay, people will take the initiative to help you fight. If you pay a little, more people will come.

You can just organize it and fight against the monster tide.)

Therefore, in the past month, lord players from various places have begun to frequently break the news that their territories are about to be upgraded.

One is naturally to increase the reputation of the territory and allow more players to play games in the player's territory (the lord can make money through various methods). The other is to hope to find more experienced people to help with defensive battles.

It is also for this reason that since this month, the success rate of small villages in upgrading their towns has increased to over 70%. At one point, some players on the forum urged lords from various places to build and upgrade quickly so that they can start defensive battles earlier~

In the eyes of players, upgrading a town to a small town no longer seems to be an unbridgeable gap, and gradually some people are starting to jump out and try.

It's a pity that there are still very few people who can successfully upgrade so far. It seems that in the short term, the upgrade of small towns to small towns will still be a major obstacle to the development of many lords' territories.

And the "Lord Robert" mentioned by Xue Lan this time is a "local lord" in the Kingdom of Solna.

After the Star Wars Mercenary Group completely defeated the Godzilla Mercenary Group and its vassal organizations, there was a large vacuum in the player organizations in Solna.

It is true that the core members of Godzilla have moved abroad, but it is impossible to say that all the masters they once absorbed will follow them.

After all, the various reputations a player gets from completing tasks after staying in one place for a long time will have a big impact on him. For example, he has a greater chance of receiving good tasks, and there are more preferential measures and consumption discounts.

You can't see it in one or two days, but after one month, two months, especially half a year, the cumulative difference will be huge.

In addition, not every player likes to be a "refugee" in different places, so there are very few masters who will follow Godzilla.

After the collapse of Godzilla, Star Wars did take advantage of the subsequent upgrade of the mercenary group to absorb a group of elites left by the opponent.

Then two more vassal guilds were formed to continue attracting people.

But in the end it is impossible to say that all the elites of a country have been absorbed by the Star Wars family.

The strength vacuum left in this way has become an excellent opportunity for many small and medium-sized organizations to develop and grow.

After all, the original Godzilla was much more domineering than Star Wars. When they were in power, it was quite difficult to develop the organization normally without being restricted by them.

And this "Lord Robert" is even the most successful of these small and medium-sized organizations that subsequently developed.

He first absorbed some of the opponent's remaining elites at a high cost, especially when the direction of Star Wars later shifted to absorbing "senior associate professional players" and "hidden professional players", and they also had more

The absorption space for combat players.

After expanding the strength of their own organization, they began to actively carry out various municipal tasks issued by the King of Solna.

Then, after gaining enough regional reputation, I began to take the trouble to apply for the lord inauguration mission.

Finally, more than a week ago, their boss "Robert" became the lord of a small town near the royal capital of Solna.

To everyone's surprise, this organization, which was about to become increasingly powerful, did not inherit Godzilla's arrogance and dominance, nor did it intend to go against Star Wars.

Their boss, Robert, is from France. As a European gamer, he naturally has the name "Godzilla" and his approximate strength.

The fact that this Chinese organization was able to defeat the most established professional player studio in Europe in one fell swoop proved that its strength was beyond what ordinary player organizations could handle. Therefore, he knew very well that provoking and opposing the opponent would mean seeking death.

Moreover, because of "Liu Yun" and the "Plague City" behind it, not only can't he go against the Star Wars people, but whether he can be popular or not depends on whether he can get closer to the other party.

Therefore, after taking up the position of mayor, Robert first contacted the people from Star Wars and asked them to contact Liu Yun instead, hoping to have the opportunity to meet with him and talk about issues related to "cooperative development".

Cooperate with Liu Yun for development? A small town mayor?
