Online game: Hanging out in the beauty studio

9:59:59 in the morning.

Li Qianfan calculated the time and clicked the login button at the last second of the countdown.

But at the moment when he clicked the login button, a cutscene named [Four Secret Scrolls: History of Daxia] popped up directly.

As the historical narration sounded, a world view with the theme of "war and war" slowly unfolded in front of all players...

...

"In the eleventh year of Longwu, the Great Xia Emperor Zhao She was ambitious but incompetent, and his country was weak, causing the people to live in poverty. Many places broke out in rebellion."

"In the thirteenth year of Longwu, King Jing Zhao Shi led his troops to quell the rebellion, but he was self-reliant. On the grounds that the emperor was immoral, he led an army of 100,000 to besiege the capital for ten days, then killed his brother and nephew to seize the throne and changed the reign to Tianshou."

"In the first year of Tianshou, Zhao Shi ascended the throne and routinely rewarded his generals [Han Xun] and [Chen Xian] because of their meritorious service to the emperor, they were both appointed as officials and ministers. Among them, Han Xun was named [Duke Dingguo] , Chen Xian was conferred the title of [Duke of Chen]. ”

“In the second year of Tianshou, Jinyang Palace caught fire unexpectedly, and none of Zhao She’s descendants who were detained there survived, and all died in the fire.”

“In the same year, a rumor suddenly arose among the people that Zhao She was very fond of gold during his reign, so he collected a lot of gold from the people and took it into the emperor’s private treasury. After Zhao Shi killed his brother and nephew, this huge amount of gold disappeared, and then some people with good intentions spread rumors everywhere, saying: "[Longwu Secret Treasury], if you get it, you can get the world." ”

“In the seventh year of Tianshou, Zhao Shi, despite the opposition of his ministers, suddenly ordered the entire army to gather at the northern border of Yan, and in the same year, he collected a lot of food and armaments, prepared for war, and tried to take back the Sanchuan River Valley that the previous dynasty had ceded to the northern barbarians. area."

"In the eighth year of Tianshou, Zhao Shi personally led the army to launch the first battle of Sanchuan River Valley, but due to his command errors, the Yan army was defeated. The northern barbarian tribe [Wushu Royal Court] knew that this victory was too coincidental, so they did not pursue the victory, but sent envoys to the court to try to negotiate peace with Daxia."

"In the tenth year of Tianshou, Zhao Shi was unwilling to accept the previous failure. After beheading the barbarian envoy, he mobilized the army to march north again, vowing to take back the Sanchuan River Valley area, but unexpectedly, heavy rain fell from the sky, resulting in a shortage of food and grass in the rear. Countless soldiers starved to death in the army. For a time, the plague was rampant. The 100,000-man army suffered heavy losses before it approached the Sanchuan River Valley area. The commander [Han Xun] risked his life to advise, but was angered by Zhao Shi, who used the excuse of retreating in the face of the enemy. "In the 12th year of Tianshou, Zhao Shi launched a war again despite the ministers' obstruction, but he didn't expect that the years of tyranny and extortion had already damaged the foundation of Daxia, which caused dissatisfaction among all classes with the Daxia royal family, resulting in peasant uprisings in Pingyuan, Lingwu, Jibei, Jiyin and other places. The momentum was even greater than that of the Longwu period..." "In the 14th year of Tianshou, the rebels spread all over the country, and behind them were the shadows of the princes and warlords. Even if Zhao Shi suddenly realized it, he was powerless to save the situation." "In just ten years, the once invincible Daxia Dynasty has reached the brink of collapse..." ... ... The above narration mainly tells the background story of Daxia Jiuzhou. At this stage, all the dungeons and legendary tasks are actually designed around this story. It's just that the players in the previous version just entered the game and had no contact with high-level NPCs, so many players mistakenly thought that the background story was not important at all. The reason for such an arrangement is actually intentional by the official. After all...

The size of this game and the high learning cost have far exceeded the imagination of many players.

It is already very difficult for new players to learn how to use skills. Suddenly, such a large background story is thrown in their faces. Wouldn't it scare a large number of people away on the spot?

You can't eat a big fat man in one breath.

And this is also the fundamental reason why "Heart of Condemnation" looked similar to traditional online games before.

Because from the beginning to the end...

The official has never released these in-depth contents!

With the opening of version 1.0, the main storyline has also been advanced to the fifteenth year of Tianshou, which is the eve of the collapse of the Great Xia court-

The smoke of war is everywhere, and the heroes are fighting for supremacy.

The rebel army mentioned in the narration is the "Kato Sect" with a deep connection with Li Qianfan!

And the general who suppressed the rebellion and could not be killed by the player is actually the Duke of Dingguo 'Han Xun' mentioned many times by the narrator.

‘Han Xun’ is an extremely important NPC in the Heroes Fighting version, far more important than the Prime Minister ‘Su Liangsi’ of the two dynasties.

Many players don’t care about the background story at all, and they just skip the plot animations.

But in fact, this is a very bad habit.

Especially in a game like “Heart of Condemnation” that focuses onIn the MMORPG with a large world view of the plot.

The amount of information in the cutscenes is so large that as long as the player listens carefully for a while, he will get a lot of useful information, which will provide a very important basis for the choice of the subsequent legendary tasks...

...

Let's talk about now.

The opening animation cannot be skipped.

After Li Qianfan patiently watched it, he finally entered the game and appeared again at the place where he went offline yesterday-

Black Stone City, Taishou Mansion.

After the gang is successfully established, there is a fourteen-day protection period for the gang territory, which means...

Within fourteen days, Xinghe Rugu does not need to worry about being attacked by any force.

In addition, because of the change in the ownership of the territory, the Taishou Mansion has become the headquarters of Xinghe Rugu. The name is not yet available and needs to be modified after the president Lin Yue goes online.

From the perspective of the NPC, Xinghe Rugu is a group of peasant uprisings who successfully captured Black Stone City.

Therefore, the moment Xinghe Rugu successfully established the gang, all court officials, including the governor Chen Zhao, had already evacuated. Now Black Stone City is completely under the control of Xinghe Rugu.

Among them, a series of issues such as teleportation, taxation, real estate transactions, and the management and placement of neutral NPCs.

Li Qianfan had anticipated this.

So after he went online, he directly put on a look of watching the fun, and did not even respond to He Huan's greeting, just waiting to see Lin Yue's flustered and embarrassed look.

The result was really as he expected...

As the figures of Lin Yue, Shen Jiayan, and Xia Zhilan appeared in the hall one after another, Lin Yue, who had always remained calm in the face of a collapse, could not help but exclaimed on the spot:

"My God, is being a city lord so complicated?!"

Because she is the president, only she can receive system prompts and open a new operation interface.

Seeing this, Li Qianfan spread his hands and said immediately:

"Don't look at me, I can fight, but you have to do the simulated business..."
