[Fourth Wall Break/Fourth Catastrophe + No CP Ensemble Cast] On the gaming forums, a group of veteran netizens, eagerly rubbing their fists, angrily denounced "Records of the Ten Continents,...
Chapter 503 Lu Weilou, look at what you have done!
The decision to open up the gameplay to recruit disciples was made by Fang Xianyu after careful consideration.
The reason why it was not open to the public before was because she was worried that some idle players would make trouble and "seduce and abandon" the natives of Guixu Realm. As the only GM of "Ten Continents", she really couldn't keep an eye on everyone in real time.
The main reason for deciding to add this feature now is that she doesn't have to worry too much about the specific operation of "Ten Continents". Announcements, event benefits, and gameplay are all planned by a dedicated team. She only needs to provide requirements and then add or subtract items from the game based on the plan.
Furthermore, she needs more natives to influence the players, and she also needs the players to influence the natives' thoughts.
The problem with the players is that they are too playful, and sometimes they just look at whether there is any benefit or whether it is fun - this is certainly not their fault, as Guixu Realm originally appeared in the form of the game "Ten Continents".
But the natives in Guixu Realm have a big problem - or rather, the entire world of Guixu Realm has a problem.
Because the world has long been in a state where the ecosystems of ordinary people are not connected to each other, its social development has always been stagnant, and the development of spiritual civilization has lagged behind to a pitiful and absurd level.
There are almost no philosophical thoughts. Even if there are, they are kept secret and cherished by various sects. The scope of their dissemination is almost non-existent, and there is no way to influence the largest group - ordinary mortals and those demon cultivators who have no connections with the upper class and no support from the lower class.
The gradual development of local basic education will certainly play a certain role, but it will take time. Moreover, the teachers supported by the Flower-Growing Family can only provide the most basic text and ideological education, and are powerless in terms of cultivation. In fact, because they know the reality of this world, they are restrained and always have an invisible barrier between them and the people of Guixu Realm.
What hurts people the most is often not discrimination, but a sense of charity that one considers to be a gift and a protection of one's dignity. It is obscure and lofty, so it cannot play the role of lowering the level of cultivation as Fang Xianyu imagined.
However, this looming barrier no longer exists among the player community.
Players are such weird creatures that they would pull any passing dog over to have a drink with them.
By allowing players to recruit apprentices but setting strict conditions, players can feel the superiority in the game while strictly controlling the quality of players and irresponsible high costs... Fang Xianyu has even begun to look forward to what kind of surprises these players, who are sometimes kind and sometimes seem to be possessed by Paradox, can bring her...
It was impossible to expect a surprise. On the first day of accepting disciples, all the players gave Fang Xianyu was a shock.
A tiger, two cats, three rabbits, two birds... It would be fine if there was no one, but it was so damn hard to find someone who was related to a human, but it turned out to be a female ghost who had been dead for eight hundred years!
Fang Xianyu fell into deep self-doubt through a manager (a worker in the project team) who was in charge of registering the identities of Taiyin Sect's disciples.
No, she knew that players would not discriminate against races like demon cultivators, but they couldn't discriminate against humans either, right? ?
It's been half a day and there's really no one here! ?
There are so many cities under the rule of Taiyin Sect, and humans are the largest in number! How come you can find a bunch of cats and dogs that haven’t even been awakened from the corners! ?
I know that furry things feel good, and those tigers and rabbits that are barely intelligent are fine, but why are you holding a real wild cat that can only meow and has no intelligence at all, let alone awakening, and you want to register it as your apprentice? Hey! ?
The Taiyin Sect manager in charge of registration took a quick look at the cat in the player's hand, tried his best to keep smiling, and politely refused and explained: "My fellow Taoist, I'm sorry, but wild animals that have not yet awakened their intelligence cannot be registered as Taiyin Sect disciples for the time being."
"Why is his allowed? Mine is not allowed! We are all cats! You are discriminating against us little cats!"
As the player spoke, he pointed unconvincedly at a player in front of him who had just completed the formalities and was trying hard to persuade Tiger to wear the disciple token.
The player who was pointed out was confused and explained dryly: "Ours, haha, ours may look a little stupid, but it's really smart, haha..."
The tiger next to him was not happy, and roared threateningly at the player holding the cat, causing birds to fly and rabbits to jump in the hall. Several animals that had not completely lost their wildness and had just become intelligent (they could not even be considered monsters) were frightened by the tiger's roar and became panicked and confused. The player holding the cat was so scared that the cat in his arms peed on him, and his whole body was shaking.
"What the hell are you doing!?"
The player next to the tiger cursed angrily, then jumped up and hit the tiger on the head twice. The solid sound seemed to be quite powerful, but the tiger just swung its tail impatiently, shook its ears guiltily, and turned its head to the side, pretending not to see the player, trying to cover up the problem.
The player's ID was [Handsome Boy], and he was obviously very familiar with Tiger. It didn't seem like he was just a temporary recruit after the qualification for apprenticeship was opened. He scolded Tiger, "Still pretending! Still pretending! You made a mess of this place! Do you have any sense of responsibility? Forget about eating fried chicken tonight!"
Tiger was indeed smart. When he heard that his fried chicken was withheld, he immediately turned his head and looked at [Handsome] aggrievedly, then took a few steps closer to him and rubbed his head hard on [Handsome]'s leg.
This classic cat-like cute and flattering action would be harmless if it were a real cat doing it to a human. But the one doing it now was a large tiger that was almost as tall as a human sitting down, so after its head had just "rubbed" twice, [Handsome Guy] was knocked to the ground with his butt. If it weren't for his higher level and stronger bones than an ordinary person, he would have probably broken his bones!
The player holding the cat had to leave in shame when he saw that the NPC was unable to register the pet as an apprentice after pestering him for a while. On the contrary, [Handsome] was fined ten yuan because the new "apprentice" interfered with the work of the Taiyin Sect's manager. He also had to apologize to the masters of the frightened animals one by one.
"I'm so sorry, my rebel has a bad temper. Sorry, sorry!"
After apologizing with all kinds of smiles, he finally dragged his apprentice back home. The handsome boy's face suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth and said with a dark face: "Lu Weilou! Look at what you have done today!"
