Online game: Hanging out in the beauty studio

October 1st, 7pm.

Lanzhou, Black Stone City.

Including Li Qianfan, all members of Xingherugu are in place.

Everyone changed into dark blue clothes that symbolize "Xinghe", and then lined up on the majestic city wall, as if silently announcing-

Black Stone City is our territory!

Of course, this is not for war, but for celebration.

If Lin Yue uses the city lord's authority to open the free perspective, then she will find...

The entire Black Stone City has long been filled with enthusiastic players.

On the city wall, all members of Xingherugu are ready to go.

Under the city wall, there are countless passers-by players who are looking forward to it.

From the prefectural government to Sajin Street, from the north to the south of the city.

From under the eaves to the roof, from the outer hall to the inner room.

Almost wherever players can go, there must be people standing.

The above scene not only appeared in Black Stone City, but also appeared on every inch of land in Daxia Jiuzhou.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the moment when the progress bar jumped from 99% to 100%.

This day was destined to be recorded in the history of the game.

No one could stay calm in such a grand scene.

But in order not to miss the exciting moment, everyone kept quiet spontaneously...

Time passed by one minute and one second.

99.10%...

99.20%...

99.30%...

Under the common witness of hundreds of millions of players in Jiuzhou, the progress bar was advancing faster and faster.

When approaching the end, it would jump hard almost every second.

In order to increase their sense of participation, many players did not hand in the task immediately after completing the task, but put all the tasks together, intending to let the progress bar feel what it means to "hit hard"!

Therefore, when the progress bar finally reached 99.50%, many players took action at the same time.

The progress bar that had been advancing slowly before was like a turtle tied to a rocket. It was ignited and sent into space by the players of Jiuzhou at the same time!

99.70%...

99.80%...

99.90%...

Because there were too many people, the progress bar soared from 99.50% to 100% in just over ten seconds.

And at the same time when the progress bar lit up with a golden light, the teleportation points of all the cities in Daxia Jiuzhou also lit up with golden light.

In an instant, countless huge golden light pillars shot up into the sky, as if celebrating the arrival of a new era.

At the same time, a solemn reminder sounded in everyone's ears——

[System Announcement: The world line mission "Heroes Fighting for Supremacy" has concluded, and Daxia Jiuzhou is about to usher in a huge change...]

[System Announcement: Cutscene is loading, please wait...]

[System Announcement: After the cutscene ends, "Daxia Jiuzhou" will be officially renamed "New Jiuzhou"; if players want to go to "New Jiuzhou", they need to go to the teleportation points of the major cities to teleport...]

[System Announcement: The entire area of ​​"New Jiuzhou" is a high-risk area, and only players with a level ≥ 60 can enter...]

[System Announcement: If a player dies in "New Jiuzhou", the death penalty will be changed to: current level -1 after death, and three pieces of equipment will be dropped randomly...]

[Special Tip: The teleportation operation is irreversible. If a player chooses to go to "New Jiuzhou", he will not be able to return to "Daxia Jiuzhou" again! I hope all players will consider it carefully before going! ! ! 】

【Special Tip: If the player insists on returning to "Daxia Jiuzhou", he can only do so by suicide, that is, when the player's level drops below level 60, he will be forcibly sent back to "Daxia Jiuzhou" by the system...】

【Special Tip: After the player is forcibly sent back to "Daxia Jiuzhou", all the equipment on his body will be dropped, and some skills may be in a sealed state, which can only be unlocked after meeting certain conditions...】

To summarize briefly -

There is no concept of time in the virtual world, but there is a concept of version.

The so-called "New Jiuzhou" is actually a map modified on the basis of the original Daxia Jiuzhou.

The story of "Daxia Jiuzhou" mainly takes place during the Tianshou period, that is, during the reign of Emperor Jing Zhao Shi.

The story of "New Jiuzhou" takes place after Emperor Jing suddenly became seriously ill, and uprisings broke out in various places one after another, and the Daxia court fell apart, thus entering an era of separatist rule by princes.

It can be understood as "ten years later".

That is, the time has changed, not the map.

The size and topographical features of the "New Kyushu" map remain unchanged.

However, due to the devastation caused by the war,There may be changes of varying sizes in the main cities, towns, and villages of each state.

Players can only choose to enter the "New Kyushu" after reaching level 60.

The reason for this setting is mainly to take care of the continuous influx of new players.

Otherwise, once the version is updated, new players will not be able to experience the fun of the previous version?

Of course, if old players have not played enough of the current version, they can also choose to stay in Daxia Kyushu.

Compared with the relatively mild public beta version, version 1.0 not only cancels the "safe zone", but even the death penalty is strengthened a lot.

But even so, it still can't resist the players' yearning for the new version...

Therefore, as soon as the system announcement ended, countless players rushed to the teleportation point impatiently.

At this moment, Lin Yue's voice suddenly rang out in the guild channel -

"Everyone, are you ready?"

"Ready!!!"

Faced with everyone's enthusiastic response, Lin Yue smiled slightly, then raised the gang flag in her hand high, and then announced loudly in her clear and pleasant voice -

"I declare that Xinghe Rugu has assembled! Now, let's go together...!"

As the lord of Black Stone City, she obviously has some privileges.

That is, she can use the gang flag to directly teleport all members to "New Kyushu".

As Lin Yue finished speaking, golden light suddenly appeared on the tall and majestic Black Stone City wall——

"Look, Xinghe Rugu has passed by!"

"Oh my god, so cool! He can be teleported without going to the teleportation point. Is this the privilege of the city lord?"

"Alas, it's a pity that their recruitment conditions are too harsh, otherwise I would have signed up long ago..."

"Xinghe Rugu is gone. I guess there will be no discounts when buying things in Black Stone City in the future?"

"The old Jiuzhou should be gone, but the Black Stone City in the new Jiuzhou should still be..."

Under the watch of countless passers-by players, all the members of Xinghe Rugu disappeared on the city wall.

That is to say, from this moment on, Black Stone City returned to the jurisdiction of the court again, and the governor Chen Zhao will return to the governor's mansion soon.

Of course, this refers to the Black Stone City of "Daxia Jiuzhou", not the Black Stone City of "New Jiuzhou"...

...

As usual, the cutscenes cannot be skipped.

This cutscene is very long, mainly telling the story that happened fourteen years after Tianshou.

That is, uprisings broke out in various places one after another, and how did the Great Xia court survive in the precarious situation?

In the final analysis, the reasons that led to the demise of ancient dynasties are nothing more than the following points-

1. Internal strife: In the fifteenth year of Tianshou, Emperor Jing was suddenly assassinated, which triggered a series of battles for the throne.

2. Rebellion: The Great Xia court was busy with internal strife and had no time to take care of other things. The righteous armies in various places rose up one after another, taking the opportunity to attack cities and seize land, trying to overthrow the Great Xia regime in one fell swoop.

3. Alien races: It was autumn and winter, and the war horses raised by the northern alien races for more than half a year were fat and strong, just in time to take advantage of the civil strife in Great Xia to go south to plunder, commonly known as "beating grass and valleys".

The Great Xia court caught up with three at the same time, it would be really weird if it didn't perish.

Let's talk about now.

The location does not change after teleportation, so as soon as the cutscene ends, all members of Xingherugu appear on the wall of Black Stone City in "New Kyushu".

Many players think that Xingherugu teleports on the wall just to show off.

But in fact, it is all for the next gang mission.

Therefore, at the moment when everyone landed on the wall, before they even had time to look around to see if there were any changes in the surrounding environment, a system prompt sounded in everyone's ears-

[Warning: Black Stone City will usher in a large-scale attack by the "Kato Cult" in ten minutes. As a member of the gang, please be sure to protect Black Stone City! 】

This warning was repeated three times.

So after Xia Zhilan heard it, she looked at Li Qianfan in surprise and asked:

"Brother Fan, are we really going to fight a gang war?"

Hearing this, Li Qianfan just smiled slightly, signaling her not to worry, and then patiently explained:

"It's not a gang war, it's a [survival mission]. After the player enters the new Jiuzhou, the system will issue a corresponding survival mission to each player or organization according to the specific situation. If you survive, you can continue to stay in the new Jiuzhou. If you can't survive, you need to go back to the old Jiuzhou for further study..."

"Oh, is that so..."

It's not difficult to see from the expression on Xia Zhilan's face that she now has some anti-war sentiment.

There's no way. Compared with the old Jiuzhou with birds singing and flowers blooming, the new Jiuzhou with wars is indeed a little unpopular with girls.

Seeing this, Li Qianfan could only comfort her:

"It's not as cruel as you think. It's just a cutscene mission. It's mainly to letFeel the new game atmosphere, the mission itself is actually very simple..."

Speaking of this, Li Qianfan did not forget to pull Xia Zhilan to the edge of the city wall, and then pointed down and continued:

"Besides, this time we are not fighting alone..."

Looking in the direction pointed by Li Qianfan, I saw that the teleportation point in the center of Black Stone City was constantly flashing with golden light.

Every time the teleportation point flashed, a player's figure appeared from it.

But after a while, the teleportation point was crowded with players.

Seeing this, Li Qianfan's face also showed a bright smile:

"Look, I didn't lie to you, from the establishment of the gang to now, we have never fought such a rich battle..."
