Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Official Announcement

Although she said it didn't matter if she didn't express herself clearly, Tang Li still didn't reveal anything afterwards and continued to follow her plan step by step every day.

The gang has been quite lively lately.

The elites are leveling up desperately, striving to reach level 20 before the new expansion arrives. To this end, most of the elite members level up day and night. Except for collecting supplies, they are rarely seen in the gang.

The life players were equally busy. Tang Li had already stockpiled supplies, and the gang certainly wouldn't let go of this great opportunity to make money. Countless life players were busy with this, and various supplies of varying levels filled up several large warehouses of the gang.

Ordinary players are not idle either. MM has arranged tasks for everyone. In addition to regular leveling, the main task of this part of the gang every day is to complete various reputation tasks in the town and enhance the reputation of the gang.

As for the usual gang missions, I mentioned it a little too clearly, but gang members no longer need to be forced to participate, and instead they will be handled by full-time personnel recruiting staff. These new members are basically recruited from outside the game, so the gang can often see many blank slate newcomers busy in the fields during this period.

Everyone did their job and the whole gang was busy.

That's not all. HR manager KK often recruits people from outside, including high-powered gang elites, casual players with special skills, and full-time players who are responsible for various gang matters...

Under KK's efficient organization, the entire gang's functions became increasingly clear after the initial run-in, and the gang, which was originally a casual activity, became more and more standardized. Tang Li reasonably suspected that the reason for hiring this human resources manager and his team was to prepare for the new expansion pack.

Maybe I received the message in advance when my words didn't express my feelings clearly.

His move can be said to be a precautionary measure. Previously, due to the vast territory of "Magic Continent", the main goal of players was to open up the land, and conflicts between players rarely occurred.

Many poorly developed novice villages may not have many players. A world-famous novice village like Silver Town only has one gang, Fengyu Tongzhou.

Although this is partly because Fengyu Tongzhou is too popular and powerful, and other gangs intend to avoid it, it also reflects the actual situation that there are abundant resources but few players at present.

But after the new expansion, a large number of players flocked in, and while the game became lively, disputes were definitely inevitable.

Before the number of players explodes, organizing the gang in this way can help stabilize the gang internally or continue to expand outward, so that it can be used for both offense and defense.

It's probably because everyone is so busy that there are fewer people chatting in the gang channel every day. The only ones who are still free are probably the gang leader and several deputy gang leaders.

No, for example, the deputy gang leader has more work to do than several supervisors because he is more capable.

"If the daily work content is not playing games, what's the difference between this and going to work?" Tang Li couldn't help but wipe away the sad tears for her friends while feeling relieved.

"Don't remind me, wuwuwu. Without anyone reminding me, I can still deceive myself that I'm playing games. Once I'm reminded, I really feel like it's no different from going to work." Benming Mantou looked at Tang Li who was making sarcastic remarks next to him, and wished he could grab her and make her work overtime as well.

Unfortunately, this person is one of the founders of the gang and theoretically one of his bosses. The most important thing is that this boss is energetic and has high life skills. He has delivered a lot of potions to the gang warehouse during this period. In addition, she has an entire Doom Restaurant to back her up, and the gang has enough cooked food. Even though people who are familiar with her know that she is currently the most relaxed person in the entire gang, they can't find a point to attack her.

"Think about it more positively. At least our salary is high and our work involves actually playing games." A member of the Benming Mantou team yawned and comforted.

"Yeah, yeah," Tang Li nodded in agreement, "We'll be fine once we get through this."

"Oh, oh, oh!" Benming Mantou thought that this was the only way and nodded with tears in his eyes, hoping that he could take a day off to have a good rest after this busy period.

After a few busy days, the federal officials finally issued a formal document inviting the general public to actively enter the "Magic Continent".

As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar on the entire Internet.

Everyone’s first reaction was how much money was spent on “Magic Continent” to convince the official to endorse it.

Since the emergence of holographic games, "Magic Continent" is the first game that has been able to invite the official to personally help promote it and urge everyone to play it.

Although I have heard for a long time that this game has an official background and the quality of the game has indeed stood the test of time, and it has received many positive reviews in the few months since its launch, even so not everyone likes to play the game.

Some people couldn't help but rebel and directly questioned the official account whether the official would force everyone to enter "Magic Continent". As long as the official replied with a "yes", these people would plan to attack the official.

Not everyone was so impulsive. Although most people found the news unbelievable, many people still patiently read the entire document.

The above is a cliché that I hope the general public will be active and not waste their lives just because they have basic welfare guarantees. "Magic Continent" will provide everyone with an equal platform. Everyone can have a brand new life in this game. It is not a dream to become rich overnight and reach the pinnacle of life.

Of course, the official language will not be so straightforward. The above is the summary of the majority of players.

People don't buy into this part of the content. The main point of criticism is that the game has been launched for several months, so isn't it too late to talk about the same starting point?

But then everyone couldn't help but pay attention to the content about improving mental power and some public data.

In today's well-developed social welfare system, no one will starve to death no matter what, so getting rich quickly does not arouse everyone's interest.

But on the premise of possessing superpowers and mental power, the improvement of mental power can really change a person's physical fitness, life span, social class, etc.

So after seeing this part, everyone was stunned.

"So the Federation didn't suddenly go crazy and recommend everyone to play a game, but rather it was because this game can improve people's mental strength? That makes a lot more sense."

Some people who had confidence in the official credibility finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this. They almost thought that the federation they trusted had fallen to this point.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm and the Federation is still the responsible Federation.

But many people still expressed disbelief, probably because the description in the document was too good to be true. Could such a counterintuitive thing as a pie in the sky really happen?

"That's mental strength. Improving mental strength in real life is extremely difficult. How can playing a game actually improve mental strength? Isn't this just false advertising? I still find it a little unbelievable."

"I don't believe there is such a good thing in the world."

Some people even began to conspire, wondering if this was a large-scale human experiment, or if it was a scheme the Federation came up with because they couldn't stand so many people staying at home.

"This is an official document, and there are still people questioning its authenticity! If it weren't for the newbie gift pack that comes with the new expansion pack tomorrow, I'd be rushing in right now!"

"Several well-known financial groups have already taken action. I estimate that these people will directly enter the game tomorrow. I hope they don't mess up the game ecosystem."

"Magic Continent has official backing, so they shouldn't let them do whatever they want. Furthermore, I heard that many military academies have officially joined the game. Even if the consortium is powerful, it can't compete with these people. Perhaps this will actually improve the game's ecosystem."

"People upstairs are quite optimistic."

"We're mainly here to improve our mental strength, not to play games. I heard the game map is quite large. If we really can't stand these people, we can just find a deep forest and become a lone wolf player to quietly improve our strength."

"Meditation, using skills, and so on can effectively promote the development of mental strength. The most important thing is to use magic according to the meditation path. If you want to achieve this, you don't just have to kill monsters to level up. You can also just find a safe zone and meditate every day, right?"

“When you think about it this way, it seems like there is indeed a promising future.”

“I can’t wait to get into the game.”

After leaving the Earth to develop in interstellar space, most people do not have high mental strength. Therefore, even if they are lucky enough to have superpowers, the effect is similar to magic, which is basically better than nothing. It is no wonder that most people choose to lie down.

But things are different now. As we all know, when mental power is improved, the level of supernatural powers will also be improved. Even if there is no supernatural power, the applications of improved mental power alone are diverse.

Even if official data shows that improving mental strength in the game does not have an immediate effect, the average life expectancy has increased significantly with the development of technology. Everyone has plenty of time. Compared to hopeless efforts, who can be willing to give up this kind of effort that is supported by data and will be rewarded as long as the effort is made?

Many people are not really lying down, it’s just that the cost-effectiveness of their efforts is not high. Now that there is a way to move up, who can still lie down?

"These data were collected from elites like military academy students. I know I can't compare to them, so my requirements are not high. I'm content with a few points of improvement in my mental power every month. Since I became an adult, I haven't used my mental power for several years."

"I really regret not entering the game when it was so popular, otherwise I might have already upgraded by now."

"Oh, I missed it."

Everyone wailed. Although they knew that the past could not be changed, the feeling of loss from missed opportunities was always difficult to get rid of. They couldn't help but sigh, "If only it had been different at that time." It was just human nature.

"We ordinary people are always the last to know about this kind of good news. Many Tianlong people must have received the news long ago and entered the game early, so they can be one step ahead of us ordinary people."

"That's so unfair."

"What's going on upstairs? Didn't the officials say they weren't sure beforehand, so they opened the server first to collect game data?"

"If this unconfirmed news is released and it doesn't materialize, wouldn't it damage the Federation's credibility? Do those sour-tongued people have any brains?"

"Yes, and although the news about the spiritual power hasn't been publicly announced, the game's launch has been quite popular. If you really want to get in, no one will stop you."

"Who among those who play games doesn't know about 'Magic Continent'? I didn't catch up with the good times, so I blame everyone but myself."

"Even though I don't play games, I know about 'Magic Continent'."

"Military students, I didn't know about mental power before. It was just that a school teacher participated in this project and mentioned in class that this game was quite realistic. No one forced students to play it. In fact, because military students usually have high-intensity training, many people chose not to play the game. If they did, they would just play it for fun. Those words about the Celestial Dragons are too biased for us."

"Anyway, just wait for the server to open tomorrow morning."

The entire federation was shaken by an announcement, and players of "Magic Continent", which was at the center of the topic, were also shocked when they received the news.

God knows they were just playing a game, and while playing, they actually ascended to higher levels right away in this game which was already very promising.

"Improve your mental strength? I've been playing for several months, but I haven't felt anything like that."

“I have improved a little, but I think it’s just a gradual process.”

"Hahaha, because I think using magic is cool, I've been practicing my magic skills manually, so my mental strength has improved a lot recently. But I didn't understand why it happened before, so I didn't dare to reveal it. I could only be happy about it by myself. Now I finally know what's going on, hahahaha!"

"I found that my magic proficiency increased faster when I used it manually, so..."

"Meditation is very interesting. I meditate for two hours every day."

...Many players who had previously kept their gains hidden began to happily share their gains.

"Oh my god, you guys are really good at keeping secrets. Why didn't you tell me about this good news earlier? Are you really good friends?"

"Meditation! Meditation, which everyone considers a burden, is actually a magic weapon for improving mental strength. What a mistake! If I had known about this game, I would have taken it seriously from the beginning! Who could have thought!"

"I was wondering why it was so difficult. If you can improve your mental strength, it's only natural that it would be ten times more difficult."

"The biggest lesson Magic Continent taught me is to never underestimate anything in the game. I've learned that lesson several times before..."

Although Tang Li couldn't see the comments from netizens outside, the news inside the forum was enough to make her laugh.

[For example]: Xiaoli, come to the town service hall, there is something important to discuss!

Tang Li guessed that it must be about the new information for tomorrow, so she didn't dare to delay and quickly closed the forum and walked out.

On the street, there were obviously many more players, and the entire street was almost blocked.

Looking at these new players who had obviously just entered the game, Tang Li muttered, "Didn't they say there would be a newbie gift pack for the new expansion pack tomorrow? Why can't they wait even a day?"
