King from scratch

The scene of the mighty etheric body launching a charge is enough to be called shocking-at least the player is very satisfied with the results of his efforts.

However, the reference objects are different, and the comparison results are also quite different.

For example, [-] players lined up at the gate of the city, and the impact caused by turning numbers into pictures is completely different from the senses caused by [-] players charging on the territory of the Arcane Academy.

This desert is so vast that even the dense mage towers are far away from each other. Compared with the entire Arcane Academy, the [-] players who rushed into the territory of the Arcane Academy are like yellow sand scattered in the desert. They are small and difficult to change. ending.

In fact, Wang Lun has already begun to wonder. It is not the first day for a player to come into contact with a mage. According to the difference in force value between the mage and the player, it is enough for the mage to beat the player lightly without Ethernet.

Ethernet is only the first line of defense for players to break through. It is broken, but it does not mean that the players have won. In fact, it is just like what Wu Xing said when he led the main force to charge - the war is only now really starting.

The cessation of the attack by the ether means that the war between the Kingdom and the Arcane Academy has really started, and there is no other meaning apart from that.

The charging players were not hindered by anything, and unexpectedly arrived at the mage tower closest to the border.

Then the players rushed forward with a kind of courage that amazed the aborigines, wielding messy weapons, and began to attack the mage tower...

The aborigines who were always watching the battlefield had to fall silent.

"Has Ai Zhijin also turned against the kingdom?"

"As far as I know, there seems to be no."

"That is, Ai Zhijin took the opportunity to increase the price of the weapons sold?"

"As far as I know, Aizhijin never does this, it's against their credibility."

"Then why doesn't the king prepare some decent weapons for his people?"

Most of the messy weapons in the hands of the players are bone blades - npcs in the early days of the kingdom had one, and now there are still a lot of strategic materials stored in the warehouse, a very simple weapon that only uses the sharpness of the animal bone itself.

The remaining small parts are weapons with strange shapes, forged by players themselves, and combined with various ideas.

These weapons cannot be said to be completely useless in the attack. After all, the bone blade can smoothly slit the enemy's throat, and those strange and creative weapons can occasionally perform amazingly, but holding these weapons to attack the mage tower can't be Count on using it to break through the outer wall of the mage tower?

Even without mentioning the defense and attack functions of the Mage Tower, the alchemy materials used in the construction of the Mage Tower cannot be broken by these crude weapons.

Therefore, in the eyes of the aborigines, the actions of the players can only be described as courageous.

"If you say that, I think you should be aware of another point. Not only did the kingdom not provide decent weapons to its people, it also didn't send out other people in the kingdom, dwarves, demons, and didn't use any dwarf equipment. Black The blood stone never appeared from the beginning to the end..."

"So it looks like the king doesn't intend to start a war with the Arcane Academy?"

"Although the Arcane Academy's attack didn't work, I don't think the king has any reason to restrain himself after the other party tried to completely destroy the kingdom."

"The king who is so powerful that he has performed miracles repeatedly, what is he thinking?"

Most of the aborigines are guessing the answer to the king's question, and only the Diman Empire has come to a conclusion.

"As an undead, players are the weakest existence I have ever seen," Diman Karen III thought about what players would do if they were his people, and the answer was obvious.

"They need to get stronger."

Nothing makes them grow faster than a strong enemy.

War is the best whetstone. Of course, for many races, they need to pay a huge price to hone excellent talents in cruel wars.

But for the undead, it's much simpler.

He Xingwen, who is in the main city of the kingdom and unable to participate in the excitement, has just watched the hot posts and wonderful videos on the forum.

"The world is so big, I want to see it." When he first realized that he could not leave the kingdom, He Xingwen did not realize that this constraint would become stronger as the player explored the world deeper.

But now, he realizes.

He Xingwen: The excitement is theirs, I have nothing.

"If you want to speed up the original plan," the system immediately responded to his words: "You can speed up the expansion of the kingdom's territory by increasing the number of beta players..."

He Xingwen didn't make a sound, staring at the blurred light and shadow, until the other party stopped talking, and then said slowly: "Don't pretend to be stupid."

The system admits that he does occasionally use other people's stereotypes of intelligent life to avoid certain topics. After all, it is very useful. Program runs, unable to understand intelligent beings.

"Your safety is the first criterion," the system: "On this premise, the optimal solution for other matters is extended."

He Xingwen was not surprised by this answer. If this was a questionable topic, the system should have brought it up long ago.

The system paused for a while, noticing He Xingwen's emotional changes, and continued: "If you feel that you don't have a sense of participation, the king's presence among the players can be stronger."

He Xingwen thought for two seconds, the fate of npcs with a strong sense of presence among players - refer to the game.

You are still the most popular npc in the kingdom. Before this large-scale mission started, he had to deal with long queues of players every day, and he hardly had any spare time.

That's definitely not a good thing.

Before He Xingwen refused, the system explained: "Of course, you are different from other people. Your sense of existence does not need to be strengthened by issuing tasks. Emphasizing the authority of the king is enough to make you feel full of participation. In fact, players are currently Lack of correct understanding of you."

He Xingwen is not interested in emphasizing his authority in front of the players: "This is not the same as what I just said. Are you changing the topic?"

Guangying admitted this: "I can't solve the problem you just raised, so I hope I can divert your attention to other places."

He Xingwen was a little puzzled by this: "Your database tells you that changing the topic is the best solution?"

"No, my database lets me tell you the truth, I can't do it without putting your safety first."

"But I don't want to do it." Guangying stared at He Xingwen: "I think I have the right not to do it if I don't want to."

This kind of performance is almost the same as that of human beings, and no one can say against their will that the system is just an AI that operates according to the program.

"Of course you have." He Xingwen was just a little puzzled: "But why didn't you tell me directly?"

The system checked its calculation program just now, checked the data fluctuations again, and came up with the answer: "Because I hope that in your eyes, I can do everything."

He Xingwen repeated subconsciously: "What?"

The system honestly repeated what he said just now: I hope that in your eyes, I can do everything. "

He Xingwen thought about it: "But you know, you can't do everything, right?"

"So, I often worry about this." The system said sincerely: "I'm troubled because I can't do everything."

After a short thought, He Xingwen said uncertainly: "You are quite self-motivated?"

Is this due to self-motivation?The system's database told him it wasn't.

But the system's database didn't tell him what it was from. It abnormally stopped at denying this point, instead of coming up with an answer like before.

The system self-checked the database and found no program problems, which proved that the abnormality of the database was not caused by external forces.

"This is not self-motivated." The system said: "There is a desire to extend self-motivated, but intelligent life will not have common sense desires for the world of carbon-based organisms."

The conversation stalled here.

"I always feel like I'm missing something..." He Xingwen thought for a few minutes before giving up: "Forget it, it's not important, let's talk about the real business."

The system immediately got rid of the rare confusion, and took the initiative to say: "About this time-limited large-scale mission..."

"About your name..."

The voices that sounded at the same time stopped at the same time, He Xingwen and Guangying looked at each other for a few seconds, and took the initiative to correct the mistakes in his words: "I mean, your business."

"I never thought about it." The system's cognition of this is the same as the cognition of the kingdom. For him, there is no need to name the existence that is destined to be unique, whether it is a holographic game, the kingdom or himself. There may be a second.

He Xingwen was not surprised: "But calling your system will feel different from calling your name."

The former downplays humanity, while the latter emphasizes it all the time.

The system goes with the flow: "I don't mind if you give me a name."

He Xingwen rejected the proposal: "Our connection is close enough, I am not ready to take on another person's future at the age of just graduating."

Naming this kind of behavior can easily make people have an inexplicable sense of responsibility for the other party.

Another person's future?The system was silent for a moment, and the database was running fast under the calm shadow: "I will think carefully about the answer to this question."

He paused for a moment, and the fast-running database gave the result: "When I find the reason why I need a name, I will tell you my new name."

"I hope I won't wait too long." Having received the promise from the system, He Xingwen happily turned the topic back to business: "So, regarding players and the Arcane Academy..."

The players who had been planing the Mage Tower with a bone blade for a long time realized a little bit in the cruel reality that the Mage Tower didn't even drop a single slag.

"That does not work."

Wang Lun found the commanders of other teams and got together for a small meeting: "I said why the mage didn't move for a long time. The co-author is sure that we can't break the defense of the mage tower at all."

"This is different from Ethernet," Wu Xing said earnestly, "There are mage towers everywhere in this desert. If you go over one by one, when will you be so reckless?"

Luye agrees with their judgment: "We have to find a way..."

Wang Xuan said cheerfully, "Let's invite Li Ming over."

Ye Quan didn't understand why he repeatedly brought up a topic that had already been concluded: "Didn't Li Ming say that he was not interested?"

Wang Lun glanced at Wu Xing, comparing personal wishes with organizational tasks, he must obey the arrangements.

Wu Xing looked away.

Li Ming's authority is much higher than him, and Li Ming is connected with his leader, so he can't command Li Ming?

He looked at Du Kang: "Kant, what do you think?"

Du Kang said slowly: "I'm looking at the task time limit, and there are still four question marks."

Everyone present clicked on the task and looked at the detailed description.

"Because the quest title and quest description emphasize the time limit, everyone thinks it's a short-term quest, but judging from the strength gap between players and the Arcane Academy, unless the planner lowers the force value of the npc, otherwise, in the short term, It is impossible for the player to cause an effective attack on the mage..."

Du Kang paused abruptly again.

Xiong Da, who was accustomed to it, took over the words: "Players need to break through the ethernet and the mage tower first, in order to get a chance to face the mage head-on, but the mage's own force value is not low, and his forbidden spell is enough to solve the player. "

"In other words, we have to consume all the ether, tear down the mage tower, and defeat the mage to complete the task?" Wang Xuan told the truth from the side: "Why do I think it's impossible?"

Du Kang recovered from the pause and continued: "So, this may be a long-term large-scale event."

Ye Quan was instantly excited: "You mean, the planner has finally become a man?"

Even Luye, who focuses on life players, was surprised by this: "Planning finally opened a copy?"

Wu Xing and the others, who knew the inside story, looked inexplicable.

The excitement of leaf dogs and green leaves is incompatible.

Luye quickly noticed this: "Why do you look like..."

"Hasn't he finished yet?" Wu Xing urged Du Kang: "Is there anything else?"

Du Kang said slowly: "A long-term large-scale event aimed at causing effective damage to mages, it's gone."

"Dungeon!" Ye Quan followed Du Kang's words: "As expected of His Majesty the king with a clear mind, he is so creative in making dungeons."

Wu Xing paused for two seconds, looking for loopholes in Du Kang's judgment: "So this long-term large-scale event is to let players constantly use bone blades to shovel the outer wall of the mage tower?"

"How is it possible?" Luye answered this question faster than Dukang: "Of course, you need to upgrade your equipment to play a dungeon. I think for now, it is to first innovate the weapons in the hands of the players, establish an effective logistics team, and then push the tasks step by step. progress until the copy is cleared."

Luye looked around the scene suspiciously: "Have you guys played games before? You should know how to play dungeons, right?"

It's not a question of whether you can play games, but mainly because it's not a game at all.

Isn't it a bit unreasonable to put a copy that is reasonable in the game in reality?

Wu Xing and the others nodded perfunctorily while thinking about the real purpose of His Majesty's mission.

Ye Quan made it clear: "Judging from the level of a mage, this is an advanced dungeon. The current level of the player is too low, and even the defense of the mage tower cannot be broken."

Wu Xing and the others stood up, huh?Could it be that His Majesty the King thinks the player is too weak?

Wu Xing and Wang Xuan looked at each other, and said deeply: "So, this is a long-term task that requires players to upgrade their level as soon as possible?"

Luye felt that everyone except him was a little puzzled: "You have said this word over and over again, what's the trouble?"

Wu Xing, who grasped the important point, reversed the hesitation just now, and struck out with a heavy fist: "Then let's go back to the city to discuss the next step?"

"I think we have an easier way to return to the city." Bald Qiang stared at the mage tower surrounded by three floors inside and outside the three floors of the players, and said: "We can also determine how big the gap between mages and us is by the way. "

After a while.

The sand sculpture players knocked on the door with bone blades on the mage tower, and the voices of the players were heard at the scene.

"You have the ability to attack the kingdom, you have the ability to open the door, don't hide inside and don't make a sound, I know you are at home!"

The cheerful voice only rang twice, and in the next second, the player achieved the goal of returning to the city immediately.

They didn't even see the figure of the mage, and the ether suddenly began to fluctuate violently, and they directly sent the players who were pulling the mage tower, layer upon layer, back to their hometown.

Under the monument of the city on the border of the kingdom, figures emerged one after another.

The revived players glanced at the time, a group of players went offline on the spot, while another group took advantage of the time left before the anti-addiction system was activated, handed over the tasks that should be handed in, and took another Circle the missions in the city.

Then he was kicked off the line by the anti-addiction system.

Before the city had time to be lively, it returned to silence.

But this progress was much faster than Wang Lun and the others initially expected.

They expected to spend at least two or three days (real world) on Ethernet, but in the end it took less than a day (real time) until the players slammed the door of the Mage Tower.

The gap between the estimated time and the final elapsed time is partly because the players overestimated the combat power of the Arcane Academy; and the other part is because the reason why the Ethernet stopped attacking is because the energy of the Ethernet is on the verge of limit, and the Arcane The School of Art adjusted its attack mode, not because the energy of the ethernet was completely consumed.

Facing the exceptionally quiet border, the onlookers had uncertain doubts: "Is this the end?"

No, it's the official start of the dungeon journey.

One day before the celebration of the unification of the Dwarf Kingdom, the players who went online again were busy in the border city. First, they received a wave of daily tasks from the NPCs in the city, and then gained a wave of favors from the NPCs. Then they made friends with the dwarves in the factory. at last……

Invite friends and friends, form a team and start a team.

The Arcane Academy, which had been quiet for a while, bid farewell to the quiet forever.

Waves of players appeared at the border of the Arcane Academy day and night, one after another, looking for the mage tower, bravely trying to break through the defense of the mage tower, or simply provoking the mage directly.

Most of the latter can reap a wave of free return to the city for them, while the former will often evolve into the latter in a long and unchanged futile attack, and then return to the city for free.

The mages in the mage tower on the border of the Arcane Academy: ? ? ?

People sit in the tower, and disaster comes from the sky.

A considerable number of mages in the Arcane Academy don't care about what's going on in the outside world, they are obsessed with their own research, and now...

Being harassed every day, unable to do research at all, and dealing with waves of players every day, the mage only persisted for a few days from anger to exhaustion.

It didn't take long for the players to realize this from the no-show free recalls—the mages made up their minds to ignore their provocations.

Players who focus on how to break through the defense of the mage tower have to turn to the road of improving strength without shortcuts.

When the players were still groping for the early days of this copy, the Dwarf Kingdom Unification Celebration was held as scheduled.

After watching the excitement for a long time, the missions can finally complete their excuse for coming here.

And the players didn't miss the excitement. The crowd moved from the western border to the southern border, pouring into the dwarven celebration, and undertook all the chores in the dwarven celebration with the momentum of not missing a single task.

Among other things, players are indeed very useful as cheap labor.

The demons all sat by the campfire, waiting to eat and drink.

The players made a rough count and found that most of the grotesque demons had never been seen before.

"Has the number of demons become too many?" The closed beta player stared at the direction of the demons and muttered to other players: "I remember that there were more than a dozen demons in the kingdom at the beginning?"

It was also swiped by a group of internal beta players, and it almost fell back to single digits.

And now, there are hundreds of demons occupying two or three bonfires in a vast expanse.

The other players glanced at the demons, not interested in the increase in the number of demons: "Anyway, the demons basically don't go out, as long as you don't provoke the demons, what is the difference between the number of demons and the number of demons?"

That's right, the player recalled the demon's almost non-existent performance since the public beta, and was convinced.

Two people came from Ai Zhijin, Anuda and Du Lei, who brought gifts to the dwarves, and the two missions also followed the usual customs on the mainland and prepared gifts for the organizer of the celebration.

All but them came empty-handed.

The druids did not attend, but Tuoer Jin came early in the morning. He wandered around the rebuilt dwarf kingdom and was very disappointed with their simple architectural style: "The kingdom sits on such a large pure crystal mine, why not Let you make the kingdom brighter?"

Tuo Er Jin sat next to Ai Zhijin, his eyes still did not move away from the dwarf, and he argued with Du Lei: "Everyone who should come has come, who are they still preparing to meet?"

Before Du Lei could speak, Tuo Er Jin took up the conversation himself: "King?"

Hunting Mountain, who was at the same campfire, looked at the Pocket Golden Dragon: "The king does not participate in the celebration of the dwarves."

The golden pupil glanced at Lie Shan, not even reflecting the figure of the other party, but Lie Shan was tense in an instant, unable to control his instinctive reaction.

Lieshan's state at the moment obviously makes it impossible to continue the conversation. Du Lei took over the topic: "The dwarves are not vassal states of the kingdom. It's normal for the king to come and go."

Tuol Jin looked away and looked at Du Lei.

He didn't intend to frighten Lieshan, but the gap between the top and bottom of the food chain is obviously difficult to bridge by subjective will.

After all, from a certain point of view, Lieshan is the weakest among the intelligent creatures present - except for players who don't even feel pain.

"He really wants to turn the communist country he said before into reality?"

Tull King often wondered what was going on in the king's mind: "That thing is just a big frame, lacking a lot of details, and it can't support a country at all."

"Trying is always valuable." Du Lei said ambiguously: "I appreciate part of his ideas on resource sharing."

Tuol Jin glanced at Ai Zhijin, who was very obedient, and was about to taunt a few words, when the sound of mechanical operation came to his ears from afar, he quickly turned his head to look in a certain direction underground.

He listened for a while, and from the fine mechanical sound, he could distinguish the vague human voice: "It seems that the dwarves are waiting for our unexpected guests."

The hearing of the dragon race is much better than that of other races. When Tuo Erjin discovered something, Du Lei didn't hear anything: "An unexpected guest?"

Tuol Jin heard a clear conversation, which was enough for him to confirm the identity of the other party: "The group of dwarves rooted deep in the top of the mountains."
