[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 554: Newbie Battle Zone
With several activities running in parallel and a certain number of registrations being released every day, the game "Ten Continents" has become even more popular online, dominating all major online media and apps. Even discussions on the Internet are very heated, with many online celebrities calling for the game officials to open the game to the world. Of course, there are inevitably some individual forces behind this, but we will not mention this for now.
The most popular activity among these is [Conquer Penglai Island], because this task has no level restrictions, and the birthplace of newly registered players is all on Penglai Island, and they cannot leave the island before reaching level 10, so it is packed with players!
Of course, this restriction caused players to denounce the bad planners in various ways in the forums, mainly from the thug studios and new players - the former couldn't take a big bite of the good job of leading the boss to make money, and the latter couldn't use their financial ability to quickly catch up with the big team and experience the richer and more mature Central Plains community. Both sides were dissatisfied.
Fortunately, the several Nine Nether Passages originally guarded by Penglai Sect have been successfully taken over by Fang Xianyu's people, and turned into a new [Battle with Penglai Sect] dungeon. They even worked overtime to create a "story animation" as a cutscene, and carefully designed the decoration of the dungeon (actually an illusion), such as the magnificent distant textures of Penglai Sect buildings. As a newly launched primary dungeon, tens of thousands of new players will not be left with nothing to do... The main reason is that the energy points of the close-up physical manuscript fee system are too high, so it is not cost-effective, so it is better to just use the textures to fool people.
There are also many players who have quickly reached level 10 with great difficulty, and they immediately try to find a way to leave Penglai Island, not wanting to stay there for even a second longer - Penglai Island has now become a melee zone, and Fang Xianyu's estimation is correct. With the sudden increase of tens of thousands of newbies, there are always newbies who habitually bring the habits of other games, stealing, robbing, and killing players. If it weren't for the fact that the resurrection points of new players are random safe zones, I'm afraid some people would even enjoy "burying corpses".
Although Fang Xianyu was very unhappy with this kind of atmosphere, he didn't care at all if players fought each other as long as it didn't involve NPCs.
Although BabyBus games are harmonious and beautiful, the gaming culture cannot be created by planners or officials, but requires players to explore and drive it themselves.
Therefore, any new player on the entire Penglai Island will inexplicably become a red name in a short time.
Some of them were killed by the cancer and were resentful, so they chose to join and cause trouble indiscriminately.
Some players are marked as red because they are unfamiliar with the skills and use them recklessly, using spiritual weapons and props, which results in accidental injuries to other players and are judged as "malicious attacks."
The former rushed into the red-named group with bloodshot eyes, entered three times... and never came out, even the 10-minute resurrection CD could not stop them from making trouble and venting their anger. The latter wailed, turned around and looked for the same red-named ones to fight, trying to wash the public morality value and return to normal by killing the red-named ones by default determined by the system.
This chaos lasted for several hours, and Fang Xianyu couldn't stand it anymore. Many daily and casual players avoided these red names as if they were the plague, and hid themselves to do novice tasks. But the entrances of several new primary dungeons were crowded with people - and they were all red names!
This is fucking unacceptable!
Therefore, Fang Xianyu decisively made a few patches. First, he announced the change of the judgment criteria for resetting the point (resetting the public morality value) by killing a red name. That is, in the novice map Penglai Island, only killing a red name in the safe zone can reset the point, and killing in the wild is invalid.
Afterwards, she designated the entrances to several copies as forbidden weapons zones—she simply added a magic array to seal the soul, so that no one could fucking use spiritual power!
However, it is not entirely without benefits for new players to be so chaotic.
For example, Penglai Island was "attacked" at the fastest speed - in just half a day. A group of new players spread all over Penglai Island like street urchins. Even though the size of Penglai Island is not as big as Hainan Island, you can always meet players who dream of getting rich and picking spiritual herbs and plants in the corners of the wild.
Originally they encountered disciples of Penglai Sect who were putting up a desperate resistance, but they were forced to retreat completely by a group of new players who were wandering around with nothing to do, using suicide tactics and human wave tactics.
Not many people were killed, not because the players were kind-hearted, but because they were too inexperienced, with low levels and poor cultivation. A few fixed skills, talismans, explosive packs and the like could not cause fatal damage to serious monks.
This is what is meant by "the damage is not high but the insult is extremely strong". Many monks of Penglai Sect were chased and beaten into a miserable state, but they could not kill them all. They were like cockroaches, and another group of players popped up after they were killed. In a state of extreme helplessness and rage, they had to use all means to escape and hide out of Penglai Island.
Before long, the entire Penglai Island was "cleaned up". At night, many old players came online one after another and began to spontaneously gather on Penglai Island to set up bases and maintain order so as to recruit people into the community as quickly as possible.
For any MMORPG game, when it comes to group play, the more people the better.
Although the number of people in a community is capped at 5,000, we can still build new branches, right?
A community town like Chang'an, which has the largest population in the entire server, has long been full. However, this did not prevent the Jade Emperor from jumping out to build a new community town, called Luoyang Community. In fact, it is a branch of Chang'an Community. The name was just given by the Emperor for fun. Privately, players call Luoyang Community the Second Chang'an Community.
In comparison, Longshan Sheyi is different from Chang'an Sheyi which accepts almost everyone. It pursues elite talents and even requires an "interview" to join the company. If the performance is good, Longshan's boss, Mr. Tong, will invite you to join Longshan Group directly, which can be regarded as a different kind of "direct recruitment by the boss".
What really surprised Fang Xianyu was that those ordinary players who knew nothing were the most enthusiastic about maintaining the "game" atmosphere.
Especially in Longshan Sheyi, Mr. Tong, as a middle-aged man with some achievements and both wealth and fame, has a common problem among middle-aged men of this age and status when playing games - he is very self-centered and arrogant, always thinking that he should be the big brother and all the younger brothers should look up to him.
Of course, regardless of whether this idea is good or not, it is true that Mr. Tong, who holds this idea, has played the most crucial role in clearing up the atmosphere on Penglai Island.
He was seen leading a group of Longshan Sheyi members who were dressed similarly and wearing equipment that smelled strongly of RMB. Regardless of their red names, they lined up and cleaned up the most chaotic areas one by one.
Those who can mediate the conflict will mediate it, and those who cannot will be punished with fifty lashes, or else they will use their money power or invite the other party to join the logistics community of Longshan [Xiaolongshan Community]. They appealed to their emotions and reasoned with them, and made many promises until after 2 a.m. Almost all the newbies on Penglai Island have established the concept that "Brother Tong is the boss of high-level players" in their hearts, and they are willing to ask Longshan people to decide any unfair and controversial issues.
