King from scratch

The kingdom was originally just a small oasis in the desert. Even though it has been slowly expanding, the desert is still almost endless to the kingdom.

But now He Xingwen was at a loss trying to find traces of the desert at the end of his sight.

He didn't find it.

Cities have sprung up one after another. In the center of the huge territory is the main city that He Xingwen is familiar with. Between the main city and Xinshou Village is a school that has been built impressively. It covers a vast area, with dormitories, dining halls and even a library. Everything that one expects to find has been further optimized on the school's planning map before the system.

In the east of the Kingdom, the sea that appeared out of thin air with no origin and no destination has now become a real sea, rushing from the north of the Land of God’s Fall, and merging into the South Sea in the east—it even has the same connected to the South China Sea.

In the north of the kingdom, the piece of woods that could only be called a small woods was later upgraded to be considered a forest. Now it has formed a mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles. The endless forests give people a sense of déjà vu.

He Xingwen moved his gaze along the forest to the north, realizing the source of this déjà vu.

This forest borders on the endless forest.

He Xingwen silently drove the single-person suspension vehicle to fly upwards, and didn't stop until it was enough to see the entire kingdom.

At this height, he finally saw traces of the desert—that was the territory of the Arcane Academy bordering the kingdom.

On the south side, the kingdom is bordered by the tops of the mountains, and the plain is connected to the mountains without any obstacles, and there is no sense of disobedience, as if it was originally like this.

Everything is very harmonious, except for the disappearing Land of God's Fall.

To be precise, the Land of God's Fall has not disappeared, it has just been completely occupied by the kingdom, and the curse of the Land of God's Fall has completely merged with the kingdom.

He Xingwen looked at it for a long time, from the calm sea to the lush forest.

The most critical issue is that the land of God's Fall, which was originally between other forces and the kingdom, allows people to distinguish the sea area of ​​the kingdom from the South China Sea, the forest of the kingdom from the endless forest.

But now, the desert has disappeared, the sea area is connected, the forest is connected, and there is almost no difference in the natural environment. realm of the kingdom.

He Xingwen didn't mind the other party entering by mistake, but whether he could understand the curse of God's Fallen Land was another matter.

What those who stray into the world need to face is not the wrath of the king, but the curse from the Land of God's Fall.

He Xingwen was unnecessarily worried about this for a few minutes.

Then I realized that it is too early to worry about this. Whether it is the South China Sea or the Everlasting Forest, they are all on the list of the most dangerous areas, and the edge bordering the land of God's Fall is a high-risk area. will break in here.

What he needs to worry about more should be...

He Xingwen turned his gaze back to the rising cities.

After a rough scan, including the main city and Novice Village, there are about 12 cities on the territory of the kingdom. In other words, after this third update, the kingdom has ten more cities of the same size and layout as the main city.

Although there are many more than before, compared with the expanded kingdom territory, these twelve cities are like isolated islands scattered on the kingdom territory, separated by a long distance from each other.

"The kingdom has changed too much after the update." He Xingwen made a voice that was close to collapse, but even in this situation, he was still thinking about his lost 'treasure': "So, the energy I have worked so hard to accumulate Used to generate cities?"

System: "I think you have already guessed what it is used for."

He Xingwen held his last hope, and said like a mosquito, "Don't tell me, it was used to generate NPCs."

"Yes," the system confirmed this guess, and gave He Xingwen a final blow: "The number of recovered NPCs is: 12."

He Xingwen couldn't believe it: "Where are there so many npcs? Doubling that amount of energy is not enough to revive 12 npcs."

"Yes, so the remaining ones are given by the 'Game Master Console'," the system said with a straight look: "As you can see, in order to make your kingdom a real kingdom."

"He didn't ask for my consent." After He Xingwen muttered, he asked the system: "Have you unlocked the relevant information about what kind of npc exists?"

System: "No."

He Xingwen was quite restrained before, even if he had enough energy, he didn't have a lot of recovery npcs. After all, the existence of npcs was too bizarre for this world.

One is born out of thin air relying on energy, does not have the function of reproduction, and even the rules of the kingdom override their self-will, it can be said to be a veritable npc.

If it is in the game, no one will care how they were born, and whether they have unknown stories.

But the problem is that even if all this is called a game shell, it cannot conceal the essence of reality.

But in reality there is no npc.

Then how this kind of existence was born, and whether there is any unknown story behind it, it is hard not to let people care.

He Xingwen didn't want to find out that he had suddenly become a participant or even a maker of some kind of tragedy after knowing those related stories.

But judging from the behavior of the 'game main console', no matter whether he has the ability to think or not, his attitude towards this is very clear.

The large-scale recovery of npc in the kingdom is what he wants to see.

System: "Considering that the 'game main console' may be the wreckage after the fall of the Father God, I think the identity of the resuscitator is not difficult to guess."

"Because of this, everything has become worse." He Xingwen said: "No matter what they were originally, they have now become existences where the rules of the kingdom override their own will."

The system can really feel He Xingwen's softness when he treats this world, and even another world. In a world full of all kinds of existence, his contractor is the only light.

He cares about things that don't need to be cared about, restrains his behavior because of the encounters with beings that have nothing to do with him, and treats every being that may be affected by his decisions in the softest way.

But at the same time, he will not hesitate to launch a necessary war, and will not retreat in the face of bloody death.

His contractor is really excellent.

This kind of thinking is not a rainbow fart to the system.

If someone could reach his database and inquire about the information related to He Xingwen in the system database, then the other party would agree from the bottom of his heart that this kind of praise was not a rainbow fart for the system.

In the system's database, all the information related to He Xingwen is full of praise, exclamation, and some stronger emotions.

The light and shadow standing on the cloud stared at He Xingwen, with a relaxed tone, with the usual indifference of intelligent life: "If it was the choice of the Creator God, then for them, maybe all this is not bad, and even a kind of glory. "

Except for He Xingwen, the system has no disturbances in the story of intelligent creatures, it is just history repeated again.

For a system that has huge data and is always rational, intelligent creatures are always repeating old stories, staging old-fashioned plots, and then repeating emotional fluctuations dominated by sorrow, joy, joy and anger. There is nothing new, and they can never get rid of being The inferiority of intelligent creatures.

He Xingwen didn't stay on this topic for too long, after all, the reality would not change in any way because of their thoughts.

NPCs that have recovered will not disappear again.

The one-person suspension car fell back to the ground, and He Xingwen returned to the altar, and the golden light spread out again under his hands, dyeing the world with golden colors.

He Xingwen 'activated' this world.

Various voices appeared in the always quiet city, and NPCs walked out of the streets and alleys, without any doubt about the huge changes in the kingdom.

The meeting hall should not be called the meeting hall now. It has been upgraded from a simple and rough appearance to a magnificent government building located outside the square.

Although NPCs are indifferent to the great changes in the kingdom, the sequelae of the great changes still require them to make corresponding changes.

For example, the arrangement of their jobs, and for example, the lack of proper managers in the eleven newly emerged cities, as well as the corresponding planning of material production and distribution in the Kingdom, etc., these became the first things that NPCs have to face question.

After the entire kingdom was 'activated', He Xingwen didn't even have time to think about this huge change, and was hurriedly dragged by Zhe to the State Administration Bureau - this sign is hung in the original meeting hall and now the upgraded government building On, very eye-catching.

Five elite NPCs Zhe, You, Yan, Huang, and Jin gathered together to discuss with the king the issues that were flocking to them at the moment.

Zhe was the first to speak: "I just visited the State Administration Bureau and found something new."

Everyone cast their gazes at him in unison.

Jin was holding a piece of paper, calculating something, and said without raising his head, "You mean the information reserve center?"

Zhe nodded and said: "It is the information storage center. To be precise, it is a huge information database, which contains relevant information of all the people of the kingdom."

He snapped his fingers: "Open the information library."

A screen appeared on the opposite side of the long round table, the screen flickered slightly, and a line of words jumped out: "Please obtain permission."

Zhe: "Verify authority."

"Relevant information is being obtained..."

After these words flashed on the pure white screen, it flashed past and entered the main interface of the information base.

A main interface that includes various functions such as kingdom citizen information query, positioning, dynamic summary, itinerary tracking, permission restriction, and manual issuance of related tasks.

He Xingwen stared at this interface for two seconds, feeling a certain déjà vu...

The system sitting next to him put his chin on his chin and expressed his inner thoughts in time: "This looks exactly like a simplified version of the game console, or the built-in console specially used to manage the kingdom."

That’s right, that’s the sense of sight.

Zhe continued: "This information database is linked to various new programs that appear in all the kingdoms. It can query the points and permissions of the kingdom's citizens, unlock more advanced permissions for the kingdom's citizens, and has the function of big data analysis."

After finishing the calculation, Jin raised his eyes to look at the screen, and perfunctoryly said: "It's good, it will be much easier for you to deal with chores, and you can adjust those arrangements compared with big data..." He finished With a perfunctory greeting, he urged Zhe directly: "So, hurry up and arrange, the work task arrangement, material distribution and production plan of the eleven cities are waiting for you to do."

Before Zhe could speak, Jin Yi turned to He Xingwen and told He Xingwen what he was busy calculating just now: "I just calculated, the contract that Ai Zhijin signed with us before has many unreasonable things, these twelve cities are all If such a huge commercial center is provided, if all of it is provided to Aizhijin, then the previous contract will have to be changed. Oh, yes, after the expansion of the kingdom’s territory, the original transportation distance will also be shortened. , the transportation cost of Aizhijin has to be adjusted accordingly. Also, I just went to see the industrial area of ​​the main city. We already have production capacity for some of the materials provided by Aizhijin. The list of materials purchased from them before It should be updated accordingly..."

Amidst Jin's eloquent words, He Xingwen couldn't help but yawned and interrupted him: "In this regard, wait for Ai Zhijin..."

He Xingwen stopped talking and thought about another question: "Where are Ai Zhijin, dwarves, demons, mages, and druids?"

Zhe took over the topic: "I checked the database, and judging from the location of the kingdom's citizens built into the database, they are currently in an area outside the kingdom."

Huang interjected slowly: "Probably the kingdom has changed too much. In order to avoid accidents, they were expelled from the kingdom's territory during this period."

He Xingwen thought for two seconds: "This kind of thing has never happened before."

You took over the topic: "The changes before are not so big." You casually said a word, and quickly returned to the things he cared about: "Your Majesty, the players are not online now, but related issues..."

"Wait a minute, come one by one." Before You Zai threw him a series of questions to be solved, He Xingwen interrupted him, and said to Jin: "After Ai Zhijin comes back, regarding the question you just raised, you Communicate with Ai Zhijin by yourself."

He Xingwen turned to look at Zhe: "About the twelve cities..."

You reminded He Xingwen: "In eleven cities, the head of Xinshou Village is a player."

He Xingwen reacted and realized another point: "There is only one Xinshou Village, which is a bit small for players."

The npcs turned their heads to look at He Xingwen in unison, all showing terrified expressions.

As a front-line person in contact with players, You reacted the most to this: "The number of players will increase again?"

Zhe glanced at the so many cities rising from the ground on the map of the kingdom in the information reserve center, and had an ominous premonition: "How much will it increase?"

Sitting next to He Xingwen, no one except He Xingwen could see his system and said: "Considering the total number of people in Huaguo, [-] million can only be considered a conservative estimate. If you add the follow-up foreign players..."

He Xingwen didn't rush to speak.

The system continued: "However, considering the production time of the holographic game cabin and the country's thinking on how open the holographic game beta is, even if it is a public beta, the increase in the number of players will be a gradual process."

He Xingwen didn't tell the npcs the too horrifying numbers, and said very implicitly: "Except for the main city, other cities are open to players."

Zhe immediately understood the subtext of the king's implicit words: Eleven cities of this size can barely meet the number of new players...

The scene fell into sudden silence.

NPCs who have personally experienced the disorder of the players can imagine the chaos of the entire kingdom afterward.

Those are the players who turned the Novice Village into a mess with only a few hundred people, and organized the killing of demons several times. If the number of players is increased by hundreds or even thousands of times...

You, who has dealt with players all the year round, made a sleepy voice: "The order of the kingdom is over."

"So, before the players flood into the kingdom..." He Xingwen glanced at the time: "We have enough time to ensure that the order does not get out of control."

You Youqi said weakly: "Make sure the players don't lose control? It's simply impossible."

"Then change the goal to minimize loss of control."

He Xingwen modified the goal very eloquently: "In fact, the kingdom already has enough processing experience. Before the players appear, we should popularize these experiences to the hearts of every kingdom citizen to ensure that after the players appear, the kingdom will not For their disorder descends into chaos."

He Xingwen is very sure of this point: "The player's disordered frame is within the rules, and the people of the kingdom naturally have an advantage when they come into contact with them. As long as they use this advantage, it is enough to turn the players' disordered into another orderly."

After all, under the premise that the players didn't see the red name and blood bar, the security of npc is much higher than others.

He Xingwen believes it from the bottom of his heart, and what is more worrying about this is all races on this continent that are not subjects of the kingdom.

A hundred, a thousand, 1 players, for a powerful race, it might be nothing more than that.

But 100, 1000 million, or even [-] million, [-] million, [-] billion players... What is this concept?

Together, they are enough to crush the Diman Empire with the two characteristics of numbers and immortality.

That is the fourth plague.

Weakness is relative. An immortal and endless race can never be called weak.

The king's orders will not be questioned.

You accepted this task, and started to ask another question: "The other cities also need players to be the village heads of Xinshou Village?"

"No, only Xinshou Village, other cities implement the same management model as the main city..."

He Xingwen paused for two seconds, glanced at the system, and the system nodded towards him. He Xingwen continued: "Except for the necessary citizens, the Xinshou Village will not accommodate people from other kingdoms, and the Xinshou Village will be used as a unique place for players. Cities, let them build themselves."

Numerous chores overwhelmed them, and it was not until Man Xing crossed the sky again that He Xingwen briefly came to an end with the things that needed to be dealt with after the kingdom was upgraded.

Other elite npcs still need to communicate with other races in the kingdom to deal with the follow-up problems brought about by the upgrade of the kingdom.

After all, those other races who were suddenly expelled from the kingdom are probably staring at this rapidly expanding kingdom with question marks in their minds.

You only need to think logically to guess how many things need to be dealt with next.

However, for He Xingwen, the players outside the game need to be dealt with.

Game public beta is not a word that can be finished when you just say it. It is accompanied by the whole process of game release, launch, operation and players entering the game.

For a holographic game, the process becomes, making a holographic game cabin, releasing the holographic game cabin, and setting the start time of the public beta. After the holographic game cabin is released, the official public beta begins.

The most important existence in this process has demonstrated its sense of existence through repeated repetitions.

Holographic game pod.

It is not a simple game helmet fooled by the system itself, but a high-tech product with real game functions, enough to extract players' ether to enter another world—that is, the real tool allowed to run by the "master game console".

If the holographic game cabin is the official passport for obtaining permission to enter another world, then the simple version of the game helmet fooled by the system itself is smuggling.

Before going offline, He Xingwen went to the altar to take a look at the line of information.

"Game manual setting basic options: 10 (unavailable)"

The system explained on the side: "The reason why it is unavailable is because the holographic game cabin was unlocked after the kingdom was upgraded, so the previously tacitly allowed smuggling behavior is no longer allowed."

reality.

He Xingwen once again contacted Shao Ming through the original contact information.

Shao Ming at the computer desk: No surprise.

"We saw the public beta notice you sent earlier." Shao Ming went straight to the point: "So, what do you need us to do?"

Words appear on the computer desktop.

"The simple version of the gaming helmet provided before can only be used for internal testing. After the internal testing is over, it will not be available for use."

The text emerged unhurriedly: "In fact, through the internal test, I found many shortcomings of the simple version of the game helmet, so the functions of the holographic game cabin will be more complete."

Shao Ming stared at the line of words for a few seconds, not quite sure what he meant: "You mean, the public beta will log into the game through other tools?"

"That's right, through the holographic game cabin. {Game cabin design and production process.rar}"

Shao Ming stared at the compressed file on the computer desktop for a few seconds: "We haven't studied the relevant design drawings of the holographic game cabin parts you provided before. If we are to be asked to produce the game cabin, we don't have the ability to do so. production capacity."

"I know," the speed of the text remained the same, unshaken by these unexpected news: "The dwarves will take care of the core parts, and you only need to be responsible for the non-core parts."

Shao Ming stared at the word "dwarf" for a while, and did not forget what it meant: "If this is the case, then the material exchange between the other world and the earth will be very frequent, and the concentration of ether on the earth will also increase accordingly. Rapid increase."

He paused for two seconds: "The concentration of ether that can affect human beings has caused so many out-of-control situations. We are a little worried about whether the situation will go further out of control after the concentration is further increased."

"Although I would like to give you a negative answer, the fact is, yes." The text continued to emerge: "Never think that you can reduce the occurrence of emergencies, and God can't do that."

"The best you can do is to reduce the impact of emergencies and keep the situation under control."

Shao Ming paused for two seconds, and simply said to His Majesty the King: "Wait a minute, I will discuss it with other people."

He left the computer desk and went to another room.

In that noisy room, there were many familiar faces and a new face.

Du Kang watched the conversation on the projector without taking his eyes off, his eyelashes flicked occasionally, proving that he was not a living person, he was in a lively venue, like a lifeless puppet, skinny.

Shao Ming stepped into the room, passed the familiar faces who were arguing endlessly, and stopped in front of Du Kang: "How is it? What do you see?"

Du Kang reacted violently to Shao Ming's question.

He looked up slowly.

At first Shao Ming thought that Du Kang wanted to look at him, but soon he realized that the direction Du Kang was looking up was from above.

There is nothing above.

"You're looking at us," Du Kang said, staring at the empty ceiling, "You're looking at the whole world..."

When he was about to continue talking, his overloaded brain declared a strike. Du Kang rolled his eyes and passed out again on the spot.

The system watching this scene couldn't help laughing.

He Xingwen, who did not see this scene and was still waiting for Shao Ming to continue the conversation, turned his head to look at the light and shadow close at hand with some doubts.

"what happened?"

"I saw an interesting picture." It was difficult for the system to suppress his own exclamation: "Humans are really weak and stupid creatures."

Such an obvious answer has to be proposed by a brain domain developer, and even if this brain domain developer proposes such an obvious answer, his thinking will be overloaded...

A row of question marks popped up on He Xingwen's head: Why are you taunting again?Who is being stupid in front of the system again?

Guangying turned his head, looked at He Xingwen, smiled, and completed the second half of the sentence: "You are the only exception."
