[Infrastructure + Fourth Natural Disaster]
There is an old saying in Dongshan Village: Don't go out at night!
As night falls, gray mist envelops the land.
Demons run rampant, ...
"I can actually recruit players from the original world?"
Lin Xiang was extremely excited, as this was probably the only life he would have after becoming an NPC.
However, if players are allowed to fight and build for themselves, the danger will be greatly reduced.
Of course, players also have a great deal of uncertainty. They will never complete the task step by step as others imagine, and there will definitely be all kinds of unexpected actions.
As a game planner, Lin Xiang is well aware of the destructiveness of players.
If I can't lure and intimidate them with benefits and strength, I might be killed by the players.
As long as they can show their health bar, players are not afraid of even the Lord, and killing gods is even easier!
"It seems we need to plan carefully and figure out how to select players and expand our influence."
Lin Xiang carefully analyzed the game panel and the information fed back by the game system, and combined with his current situation, he felt confident.
Any player recruited by him through the summoning technique, if he wants to attack him, can destroy the clay doll with just a thought, which is equivalent to directly kicking the player offline.
In this way, Lin Xiang's own safety will be much more guaranteed.
Although players enter the game world of "Ascension" through clay figures, after they enter, the clay figures will turn into flesh and blood, no different from real people.
They can also bleed, get injured, eat and sleep, and can also practice and gain experience points and level up by killing monsters and completing tasks.
In "Ascension", the difference in player strength is actually very obvious. Levels 0-9 are basically the common martial arts masters in the secular world.
It's OK against ordinary people or martial artists, but it's not enough against evil spirits.
Only after reaching level 10 can you get in touch with the world of immortal cultivation and the techniques, thus becoming a powerful person who can fly and hide in the ground!
The level of the recruited players cannot exceed Lin Xiang's level. At the same time, Lin Xiang can also let the players help him gain experience points through various means.
If you want players to help you, you must first improve yourself, otherwise you will not be able to convince others.
Lin Xiang only had 14 points of incense left, and he couldn't afford to waste them.
As the land, it seems normal to be able to make clay figures, but being able to put the souls of players from another world into the clay figures intact is the masterpiece of the system.
"For now, there is only one spot available, and I can only promote it on the official website and forum of "Ascension". I hope someone will visit the official website." Lin Xiang was a little worried. It was too difficult to find a suitable player to help him!
The game "Ascension" was once a small hit on the Internet, because the classical Chinese online game had not appeared for a long time, and several trailers were released.
However, the project progressed slowly and the enthusiasm gradually faded.
Lin Xiang didn't know what time it was, nor did he know the company's situation, so he could only cross the river by feeling the stones.
"Let's cut a video first."
He now has both an NPC panel and certain GM capabilities, and can use the automatic screen recording function to turn the images he has seen before into videos.
He had only been in this game world for half a day, but he had at least recorded the scenes of the solar eclipse and the defeat of the Green-faced Ghost.
This kind of purely promotional video doesn’t actually need to be very long, just a few dozen seconds is enough to give netizens a glimpse, and it is more convenient to spread on various video websites, forums, Weibo, and Tieba.
Soon, he produced a 15-second video and 9 exquisite screenshots, and then posted them on the long-dormant forum of the official website!
The official forum of "Ascension" has long been devoid of active players. The last post was posted half a year ago, and the latest reply was three months ago. It is extremely bleak.
[Did this game company go bankrupt? ]
[After so many years of delays, will I still be able to play this game in my lifetime? ]
[After three years, the daylily has become cold.]
[I was really looking forward to this game at first, but there's been no news for a few years. I'm afraid it's gone forever!]
Does anyone still remember the amazing concept promotion of the first version of "Ascension"?
[Is it completely gone? What a shame, Chinese-style online games are now extinct. I wonder when they will resurface.]
“I hope someone sees this.”
Lin Xiang originally wanted to pray, but suddenly he found that he was already one of the gods. Now it really became a matter of relying on himself rather than others.
That was all he could do for now. Now he could only wait for the videos and pictures to spread.
"It's going to be dark soon. I wonder if those evil spirits will attack the village."
Only golden afterglow remained on the horizon.
The villagers of Dongshan Village had already returned to the village. Smoke was rising from every household, and the aroma of food filled the air.
With the mountains behind them, and the village chief and the hunting and patrol members having good martial arts skills, they can often catch prey and get some meat.
In addition, the land outside the village cannot be tended at night, but if you work hard during the day, you can still get a certain harvest.
Having food to eat, a house to live in and clothes to wear, the happiness of ordinary people is so simple.
Lin Xiang was very glad that he was now a god. He didn't need to eat, drink, defecate or urinate, so he didn't need to worry about being hungry or having no place to take a shower or go to the toilet.
Just as he was leisurely gazing at the jujube tree not far away, the village chief Wang Minghai came to the land temple alone.
Wang Minghai looked a little bad, and his previous injuries had not yet fully recovered.
The man respectfully lit the ordinary sandalwood and said, "Master Jiling, there may be evil spirits causing trouble tonight. I hope you can bless our Dongshan Village..."
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let other evil spirits enter the village."
Lin Xiang did not reveal his figure, he knew that as an immortal he had to maintain a sense of distance.
After saying this, he added, "There's danger brewing in the distance, so I've specially invited some Yellow Turban warriors from the heavens to help. These Yellow Turban warriors have lived in the heavens for a long time and are likely very curious about everything in the human world. If they do something strange, they have no ill intentions."
"Yellow Turban strongmen?" Wang Minghai's eyes lit up and he agreed repeatedly, "No problem. With the help of these strongmen, our Dongshan Village will no longer be afraid of danger!"
In fact, Lin Xiang would not summon the Yellow Turban Warriors at all. He just gave the villagers a heads-up in advance to prevent the players from coming and causing chaos.
The Yellow Turban Warriors are actually demon-subduing masters in myths and legends. These warriors obey the orders of gods, can move mountains and fill the sea, and subdue demons and monsters. They are the perfect choice to guard the cave.
Give the players a layer of mythology, so that all their extraordinary behaviors and remarks will be tolerated and accepted.
"These Yellow Turban warriors are soft-hearted and don't respond to force. You can ask for help and ask them to do something. One or more warriors will appear as early as tomorrow. When they arrive, you will be responsible for guiding them to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment."
Wang Minghai had become the village chief of the Novice Village without realizing it, a true leader!
…
"Oh, so boring."
Xie Longtao sat in the rental house and complained softly. There were no fun games, good TV shows, movies or novels recently. He didn't know what to do if he wanted to kill time.
He flipped through the browser's favorites, and the saved URLs had filled the entire screen and were even constantly folded.
So Xie Longtao, who was in the late stage of laziness, decided to organize his favorites and delete those invalid URLs and websites that he was no longer interested in.
He didn't even know why he had added these websites to his favorites to gather dust.
He clicked on them one by one and deleted them, and then his eyes stopped on an official game website.
[The world's first virtual reality online game - "Ascension" is coming soon! ]
"Oh, this company is probably just bragging."
Xie Longtao smiled sarcastically, not believing that the game and company he had forgotten could be as powerful as their slogan.
He just felt a little regretful. "I don't know if I can play this so-called virtual reality online game in my lifetime. It would be great if I could play it."
When Xie Longtao casually opened the official website of the game, he was not surprised to find that the relevant announcements and news had not been updated for a long time.
Just as he was about to close the website and delete his favorites, his eyes were attracted by several pictures that popped up on the website.
[The first release of the "Ascension" real-game test footage, recruiting the first batch of internal test players! ]
"Hey, it seems like this announcement was just released, and there are even screenshots of actual machine testing. Could it be that the game company has been concentrating on research and development for so long and finally came up with results?" Xie Longtao couldn't help but become interested. He knew that the promotion of many games was far from the actual situation, and many videos were polished.
Anyway, he was just watching the video, and he wanted to see what the so-called virtual reality game with a Chinese background looked like.
At most it's just a waste of ten seconds.
So he clicked directly on the video in the announcement.
The video was played without any warning. A total solar eclipse was seen rapidly unfolding above the low thatched houses. In front of the retro-looking land temple, the pale and skinny ancient people were looking at the green-faced ghost with bared fangs and claws in the air in panic!
The green-faced ghost knocked the strong man away with one claw, and the villagers screamed and exclaimed one after another.
At the critical moment, a young scholar turned his back to the camera, raised his head and waved out golden light.
The green-faced ghost just now had no ability to resist and was instantly reduced to ashes.
The ten-second video ends abruptly here!
"Oh my god, this must be a screenshot from a movie, it's so well shot!"
Xie Longtao let out a low cry. He actually felt as if he hadn't seen enough. He had never thought that the game graphics could be so realistic. The scenes in the video looked particularly real.
"The scenery is amazing, and the actors' acting is really good. They are all award-winning actors and actresses. It would be great if I could find the whole film."
He chose to save the video by right-clicking and then posted it in his gay friend group.
"@All members, does anyone know what movie this is? The special effects are barely noticeable. Please give me the full name!"
